33
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 8: view might be on life support. My microphone was on

34
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 8: life support to begin in the show. Pay per View's

35
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 8: not dead yet. We'll live on pay per view this weekend.

36
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 5: Kenny. It's a whole new lay out there, but pay

37
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 5: per views not dead yet. I love it, man.

38
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 4: I'm pumped up for this card, dude. I've been waiting

39
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 4: for this card for a very long time. I feel

40
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 4: like there's been a great energy around this card and

41
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: you have to be pretty fired up about it as well.

42
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 9: Man.

43
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 8: Good to have everybody with us live. It is Tuesday,

44
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 8: August twelfth, twenty twenty five. Sorry for the twenty four

45
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 8: hour delay. At is episode five sixty two of the

46
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 8: Anticiploring podcast. Today's episode of the podcast brought to you

47
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 8: by DraftKings DraftKings, The Crown is yours. Needless to say,

48
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 8: the bulk of the program will center on UFC three nineteen.

49
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 8: I said at one point in time that I'm not

50
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 8: sure mostly we could put a better fight together in

51
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 8: terms of just chaos, unpredictability, electricity offense in MMA than

52
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 8: drinks Duplessi versus Hamzachimai. And that is our reality this weekend.

53
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 8: But in the nature of not sort of burying the

54
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 8: elephant in the room and the lead if you live

55
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 8: in the United States of America, big things when it

56
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 8: comes to the UFC's television future, Kenny, it's a seven

57
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 8: year deal, seven point seven billion dollars paramount plus. Right,

58
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 8: So the ESPN era or the ESPN MMA era is

59
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 8: over as of December thirty one, twenty twenty five. You know,

60
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 8: you and I experienced a lot of different things in television.

61
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 8: We cut our teeth at ESPN. We were both at

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 8: Fox together. We saw that entire Fox MMM sort of

63
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 8: reset their professional lives. There are a lot of different

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 8: layers to it. I mean, front of mind for me

65
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 8: are my ESPN colleagues, but we're going to unpack more

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 8: than of course that angle today. But what were your thoughts,

67
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 8: being a little bit removed from the situation right now,

68
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 8: when you saw the news come down the pike.

69
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 9: Out with the old and in with the new.

70
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: Huh, John, Yeah, No, it's crazy to see the evolution

71
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 4: of the sport. I say this all the day time,

72
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: whether I'm talking about the fights, the fighters, the training,

73
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 4: the magnitude of each and every event, and now the

74
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:22,840
Speaker 4: magnitude of this huge contractual deal with CBS and Paramount

75
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable just how in demand this sport is.

76
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 9: It continues to grow.

77
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 4: I thought it was an interesting comment what it was

78
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 4: like maybe a couple weeks ago when Dana said we

79
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: were going to look at something or we're gonna be

80
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 4: looking at something more global. So I knew it was

81
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: going to be even bigger than the last deal. But

82
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: congratulations to everyone involved.

83
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 9: Man, this is huge.

84
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 4: Curious to see what this means for the future of

85
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 4: the fighters in the organization, but yeah, absolutely massive.

86
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 8: So it seems as though Paramount Plus does have visions

87
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 8: of maybe trying to to secure some of the UFC's

88
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 8: global rights internationally outside of the United States.

89
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: Of America.

90
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 8: That remains to be seen, but right now, under the deal,

91
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 8: if you don't know the particulars, Paramount will exclusively distribute

92
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 8: the UFC's entire slate of thirteen Marquee numbered events and

93
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 8: thirty fight nights on its streaming platform. Paramount Plus select

94
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 8: numbered events will also be simulcast on CBS. All of

95
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 8: this begins in earnest January first or thereafter, twenty twenty six.

96
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 8: It's absolutely crazy, right, I could spin this thing for

97
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 8: fifteen minutes a number of different ways, right, But the

98
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 8: pay per view model as we know it is going

99
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 8: to cease to exist in mixed martial arts, and that

100
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 8: is a huge thing for fans in the US. Now,

101
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 8: for eight dollars, you can get Paramount Plus with ADS

102
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 8: and I think twelve ninety nine a month without ads. Now,

103
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 8: anyone who has ingested the Anakinflorment podcast over the years

104
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 8: knows that nobody will have a bigger fucking temper tantrum

105
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 8: for Wi Fi issues than me. I'm in a hotel

106
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 8: today without great WiFi and it's giving me tremendous anxiety already.

107
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 8: So I don't know about that app versus ESPN Plus.

108
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 8: I know that my podcast partner and dear friend, Kenny Florian,

109
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 8: has had major streaming issues on the ESPN Plus application,

110
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 8: so we're hopeful that Paramount Plus will be great in

111
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 8: that area. I'm sure Great Lengths will be gone too,

112
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 8: because they're gonna be there. Figures to be an exponential

113
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 8: rise in subscriptions Kenny on Paramount Plus. But you know,

114
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 8: I'm some someone who likes change in general, and I'm

115
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 8: very excited about the future.

116
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 4: Paramount plus better, get better, get it right, get it

117
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,799
Speaker 4: tight with these huge fight cards. No, I'm already actually

118
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: a member, So I'm a big Taylor Sheridan fan. So

119
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: I watch all the yellow Stone and all those shows,

120
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: and the fact that they're adding UFC to the equation

121
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 4: is gonna be huge for me. I'm excited about that.

122
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 4: But many time I've used Paramount Plus, it's been good

123
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 4: to me. John, So yeah, all right.

124
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 8: So what does it mean for the fighters? I think

125
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 8: that is a chief concern for fight fans, and rightfully so.

126
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,040
Speaker 8: And this show is nothing if not a conduit for

127
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 8: fight fans. By the way, thanks to everybody for supporting

128
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 8: the show. We were nominated for a World MMA Award

129
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 8: in the Programing category for a third consecutive year, and

130
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 8: there's just no greater honor for this little show, this

131
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 8: tiny team, to get that type of recognition alongside you know,

132
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 8: our peers and contemporaries and shows with far bigger staffs

133
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 8: than ours.

134
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 5: It just means the world to us. So thank you

135
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 5: all for that.

136
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 8: But what does it mean for the fighters? Chris Widman

137
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 8: had some long winned comments about this. They were repurposed

138
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 8: on MMA Junkie. Largely I agree with him. You know,

139
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 8: the onus is going to be on the managers to

140
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 8: get bigger guaranteed purses without a pay per view world existing.

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 8: But Kenny, you know, the pay per view numbers recently

142
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 8: in a broad general sense haven't necessarily been great. You know,

143
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 8: those aren't always peeled back like me, right, But so

144
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 8: I do think it stands to reason that a lot

145
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 8: of these champions may be aren't, you know, realizing financial

146
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 8: freedom with the pay per view model, and will do

147
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 8: very well I think in deals now getting bigger guaranteed purses.

148
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 8: But you know, Fighters don't have a piece of the

149
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 8: television deal. They have not collectively bargained as a group

150
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 8: for any piece of the television deal, and that I

151
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 8: think is disappointing for fighter fans that they won't have

152
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 8: a chunk on paper of this TV deal.

153
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it could equate to something else, you know,

154
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 4: on the positive side of the hopeful side of things,

155
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 4: maybe it frees up more cash where you know, the

156
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 4: UFC has that money ahead of time, and you know,

157
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 4: can look at the numbers that each fighter is bringing

158
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 4: in and of course that's always going to vary fight

159
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 4: to fight, fighter to fighter, and maybe it just means

160
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:48,079
Speaker 4: more money directly in for their contract than it is,

161
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 4: you know, relying on some kind of right, right, you know,

162
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: percentage of the pay per view. So I don't know,

163
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 4: you know, that's the hope. And you know, again it's

164
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 4: just a huge, massive deal for the UFC. It shows,

165
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 4: you know, how it is contending with some of the

166
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: huge with the biggest leagues in the world.

167
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 9: And you know what, I think overall it's going to

168
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 9: be in that positive.

169
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do think it's going to be in net

170
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 5: positive for the fighters.

171
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 8: And Dana White has alluded to the fact that there

172
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 8: might be a one off pay per view if there

173
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 8: was a fight that really necessitated that type of platform

174
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 8: or price.

175
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: And you know, when I started paying for Netflix.

176
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 8: I think I was paying seven ninety nine or eight

177
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 8: ninety nine a month, and now I'm paying like twenty

178
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 8: four ninety nine, so that even you know, my cousin's

179
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 8: cousin can fucking use it, right, you know, you pay

180
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 8: for more devices or whatever, but prices go up, so

181
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 8: you know, I think a lot of fans are not

182
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 8: blind to the fact that Paramount Plus at one point

183
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 8: in time is going to be at a higher price

184
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 8: point than it is right now. I'd like to read

185
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 8: this quote for you from Tom Aspinall. This is absolutely

186
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 8: breaking news to me. I have no idea. Guys like

187
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 8: Ilia Topuria, they are like established pay per view stars.

188
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 8: I'm not really pay per view star yet. I don't know,

189
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 8: because I'm not a massive pay per view star, but

190
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,959
Speaker 8: I'm not selling a million pay per views, but I

191
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 8: intend to.

192
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 5: So how does that work? I don't know.

193
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 8: I'm not sure, so won't be selling pay per views anymore.

194
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 8: I think Tom Aspinall's guaranteed person is going to be

195
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,959
Speaker 8: absolutely outstanding. I think he is one of two faces

196
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 8: of the company right now, Ilio Topolia right there with him.

197
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 8: I think Topoitia has got the inside lane as far

198
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 8: as like being on the cover of the Next Video Game, which.

199
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 5: Is but one barometer.

200
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 8: But when Tom aspinall Is suggested that ili to Putia

201
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 8: is a pay per view star, respectfully to Tom, like,

202
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 8: how does he know the extent to which Ilia is

203
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,520
Speaker 8: a massive draw in the United States. I think we

204
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 8: can all sort of look at social media and look

205
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 8: at UH magazines in Spain featuring Ilio Topurtia that yes,

206
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 8: he feels like a global star slash phenomenon right now,

207
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 8: but that doesn't necessarily mean that that translates that the

208
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 8: pay per view window. I think the biggest picture of

209
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 8: this for fighters the exposure right that you're not having

210
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 8: a monthly fee on ESPN Plus but then still having

211
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 8: to pay seventy nine nine paramount plus. You have that

212
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 8: subscription even if fucking eight years from now or four

213
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 8: years from now it's seventeen ninety nine, You're getting every

214
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 8: marquee UFC event and you don't have to go purchase

215
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 8: a pay per view.

216
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 5: It's just on your app.

217
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 9: Yeah.

218
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 7: I love it.

219
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 4: I mean I love the setup. For me, I think

220
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: it's gonna be great as a fan who loves to

221
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,599
Speaker 4: watch all the all the events. So I'm excited to

222
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: see where this goes.

223
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 6: Man.

224
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 9: And as far as the fight nights, do we know

225
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 9: where those.

226
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 8: Are gonna lie or Yeah, so it's all thirty fights

227
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 8: all to say, you're gonna be got paramount plus at

228
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 8: all the Marquee events, and so I think that is

229
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 8: really a critical part of this. We'll have more on

230
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,360

00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 8: things like that. We'll get into that towards the the

00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 8: end of the program.

00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 6: Oh, the headline for last week with hernaners, but the

286
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 6: headline of those of the of the of the what

287
00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 6: happened with the UFC buying selling whatever to paramidd Which

288
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 6: one were you talking about?

289
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 5: So is my connection that bad? Or did you just

290
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 5: not hear a goddamn word?

291
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 6: I said, I can say it again, I can hear

292
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 6: a little bit.

293
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 8: Say it all right, m you know what, well, I

294
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 8: was asking you about the TV deal, But yeah, we

295
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 8: have an hernandez if you want.

296
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 6: To No, no, no, no, you said something about Uh,

297
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 6: I don't know. I thought that's what you were going

298
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 6: to start out.

299
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 5: But no, the TV deal is.

300
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 6: I don't know what to make of it. I mean

301
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 6: more money for the UFC.

302
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 10: We know that.

303
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 6: I mean to what, listen, I'll tell you what they

304
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 6: Forget about all the other thing you guys were talking

305
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 6: about before that. Just to watch where this thing went,

306
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 6: like being there at the beginning, it's it's it's it

307
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 6: is absolutely fascinating. I mean I was definitely there when

308
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 6: they weren't making any money and they were struggling, and

309
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 6: this is just such a lesson and business and branding

310
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 6: and so many other things. I'm blown away by how

311
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 6: they kept getting more and more money. You know. Look,

312
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 6: I'm always on more of the fighters side too. I

313
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 6: hope it just benefits the fighters, uh. I mean, you know,

314
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 6: up until this point, John, we used to paper per

315
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 6: view points, and I don't know how they're gonna you

316
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 6: know what happens now, because you know, I know, back when,

317
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 6: like Chris was fighting and all of these guys, pay

318
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 6: per view points was a big deal. You know, Chris

319
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: had a couple of cards where he fought on with

320
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 6: like McGregor and Rowsey, and at that time it was

321
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 6: just everything was exploding, and he bought Anderson Silver, you know,

322
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 6: like they big marquee names always those events were doing

323
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 6: a million, million, two, nine hundred thousand, like big numbers.

324
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 6: So I know those guys counted on that. So I

325
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 6: don't know how they're gonna make up for that, but

326
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 6: they definitely have the money. Maybe they're starting negotiate million

327
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 6: dollar contract deals. I don't know. I mean hopefully now,

328
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 6: I do believe that the fighter is you need representation

329
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 6: more than ever, I think, you know, I think that's

330
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 6: one thing. But look, hopefully, you know, when you do

331
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 6: deals like this, everybody benefits.

332
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's exactly what it's going to be.

333
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 5: It's gonna be bigger purses, I mean it should be. Yeah, right, I'm.

334
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 8: Experiencing a little bit of I think it's gonna be

335
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 8: bigger guaranteed persons for fighters.

336
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: Chris Widman's comments I think are very telling.

337
00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 8: Right, he was a champion like ten years before al

338
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 8: Jamain Sterling, And even if you want to suggest that,

339
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 8: why was a far bigger.

340
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 5: Star than Algab.

341
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 8: He made more money as a champion, probably significantly than

342
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 8: al Jo didn't necessarily be the case when you're talking

343
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 8: about ten years later.

344
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, and Joe, I'm not I'm not fucking busting bulls,

345
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 6: but you are going in and out a little bit

346
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 6: so between that and my hearing. But yeah, know, Weidmann

347
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,640
Speaker 6: was in the right spot. And I saw that, uh firsthand,

348
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 6: and uh, you know was always exciting. How many pain

349
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 6: per views did you do? And then? And I think

350
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,119
Speaker 6: it made the guys that would fight in that that

351
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 6: financial model really try to push themselves more too, like uh,

352
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 6: you know, even with their social media and everything, just

353
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 6: to get followers to get more pay per view by

354
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 6: so maybe it takes away the incentive on that And

355
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 6: I don't know, I mean, but so what they did

356
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 6: should benefit everybody, and I hope, I hope it's fair. Uh.

357
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 4: What do you think of Anthony Fluffy Hernandez's performance against Alitsa?

358
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 10: Man?

359
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 5: I was blown away?

360
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 6: Yeah no, Wait, would you guys feel weird if I

361
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 6: answered that by talking about the deal again? Getty, I'm

362
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 6: in the dark over here, Uh I do. I'm blown

363
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 6: away by that performance? Come on, man, I mean, if

364
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 6: if that's what's called a statement performance, I mean rag

365
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 6: Doll and a guy like the Lizzy I thought, and

366
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,479
Speaker 6: I really thought the Lizzies, you know, physicality would come

367
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 6: into play. I mean, almost complete opposite. Like it was

368
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 6: a a kid loves to fight. I love the way

369
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 6: he talks. I love the fact that he's in a

370
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,479
Speaker 6: he's training out of his garage, and you love all

371
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 6: of those stories, you know, because you know, these big

372
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 6: gyms get such I think it's fucking bullshit, but they

373
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 6: get a lot of you know, alcologues, you know. But

374
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 6: then you get a guy like this coming out of

375
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 6: his garage and he's a world beat I mean, and

376
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 6: he's been on a great tab, but he's a This

377
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 6: is a scrappy kid who loves to fight, and he's

378
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 6: getting better, and he's getting better and better every fight,

379
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 6: like he had. His discipline in this fight was really amazing.

380
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 4: They looked like there were two different weight classes. And

381
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 4: I said before the fight that one of these guys

382
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 4: are going to bully the other. You'd say, yeah, the

383
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,399
Speaker 4: bigger guy, of course, that's what's gonna happen. And and

384
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,000
Speaker 4: Hernandez just ragged all the I mean you could actually

385
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 4: see Delite a break in round two and from there.

386
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 9: It seems like he just took over.

387
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,360
Speaker 6: Yeah. You know, it's funny because because uh, I think

388
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 6: Wideman can compare him to like a Caine Velasquez on

389
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 6: on the post show shout out to White. I think

390
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 6: Wideman's killing it on those post shows and on the

391
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 6: morning shows. I think that's his I think he's got

392
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 6: a great nack for that. But uh yeah he uh,

393
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 6: you know, it's funny. He had Morob in the corner

394
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,880
Speaker 6: and it was like Hernandez was actually doing a Morob

395
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,639
Speaker 6: on Morob's friend. You know what I mean. It was

396
00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 6: just like relentless and uh we'll see where he goes

397
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 6: uh in the future. But he's definitely he's got his

398
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 6: place in the middleweight division. Man, there's no question about

399
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 6: he's gonna He's gonna do fine.

400
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean it was really really impressive.

401
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 4: And in regards to Hernandez, who do you want to

402
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 4: see him fight next? Do you think he's ready for

403
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 4: a title shot?

404
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 6: Look, he'll definitely. I think he alluded to like, you

405
00:20:57,560 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 6: know he wants the title shout I'd like to see

406
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 6: one more fight with like a Strickland or maybe Apollo Costa,

407
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 6: uh who and see where he's at you know what

408
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:09,919
Speaker 6: I mean, and then I and then I would definitely

409
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 6: give him a title shot.

410
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 5: Yeah.

411
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 6: But he's that performance man, that like everybody was blown

412
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 6: away by that. That was one of those you know,

413
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 6: there's this, you know, there's fight there's fight nights where

414
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 6: you talk about a couple of fights, and then there's

415
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 6: fight nights where you go, holy shit, did you see

416
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 6: the way that what that guy just did and the

417
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 6: way he did it yeah, uh and the confidence in

418
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 6: which he did it in uh, and again I love

419
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 6: the way he spoke afterwards. He kind of just is

420
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 6: in there to fight. Looks like he's not one of

421
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 6: those guys jerking around and you know, you see him,

422
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 6: you see him on social media in places where you

423
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 6: shouldn't see him. He seems like, uh, you know, he's

424
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 6: a family guy. He wants to do well for his family,

425
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 6: and those guys are hard to beat. Man. He's he's

426
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 6: really that that performance was unbelievable.

427
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 8: And there are a lot of factors that are really

428
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 8: working out for him right The Middleway Championship is on

429
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,160
Speaker 8: the line this weekend.

430
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:08,919
Speaker 10: He is.

431
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 8: Kyle Bohalio, who awaigh and is the backup or a

432
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 8: Sordini Mavov. But you take advantage of this main event

433
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 8: showcase to the extent to which he did. And you're right,

434
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 8: everybody's talking about this. Forget about the other things that

435
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,240
Speaker 8: happened on Saturday night, and even you can argue, forget

436
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 8: about the TV deal, right, Like we talked to Anthony

437
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 8: Hernans in a couple of fighters meeting about the value

438
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 8: of a main event and what it might and to

439
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 8: do this to a hardened veteran like Rolany is the

440
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 8: stuff that just really has read and deep into the weekend.

441
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 5: He looked like a world champion.

442
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 8: He looked like on any game Saturday night, he the

443
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 8: best one hundred and eighty five pound fighter in the world.

444
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd like to see one more fight,

445
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 6: But I agree with your hundred percent.

446
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 5: I agree.

447
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 6: And that was and that was the sentiment, so John,

448
00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 6: that was the sentiment of everybody. You know, like I'm saying,

449
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 6: because uh, you know, I listened to after the show

450
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,880
Speaker 6: they did did just everybody was high on this guy.

451
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: And you know, and I don't know if you saw it.

452
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 6: Then they brought him on and they talked to him,

453
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 6: but I say, after that, I'm even more high on him.

454
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,000
Speaker 6: I just like his attitude. I like everything about him.

455
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,120
Speaker 6: He's you know, he's a I think I think I've

456
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:21,119
Speaker 6: met him once. Just a quiet guy. But you know,

457
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 6: one of those guys he's going to do his business

458
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 6: when he gets when he have to gun door closes.

459
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 6: I love those type of guys.

460
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll be really interesting to see his style against

461
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 8: now some of those top guys. But uh, that's what

462
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:36,959
Speaker 8: I want to say by flying with flying colors, and uh,

463
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 8: we had sort of bemoaned the fact that despite the

464
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 8: seven fight winning streak, he was not in the top ten.

465
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 8: And now the new rankings are out. One benefit of

466
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 8: us doing the show on Tuesday, we get the new rankings.

467
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 8: He's number seven in the world. And yeah, Ryan heer

468
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 8: de Ritter is another guy right who we've talked a

469
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 8: lot about. He's going to be with me doing an

470
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,400
Speaker 8: appearance actually at Wrigley Field DraftKings Sportsbook Friday night, six

471
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 8: thirty after the ceremony away in this Friday. But my gosh, man,

472
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:05,120
Speaker 8: there's like so much talent. That's why when Anthony Hernandez

473
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 8: said before the fight that maybe like there should be

474
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 8: a BMF belt for the middleweight division, I don't know

475
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 8: that any division sort of needs a second belt as

476
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 8: much as that one does right now. There's just so

477
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 8: much talent and so many guys who are worthy of opportunities.

478
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 8: I think you're right, though, Stricklander Costa a lot of

479
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,400
Speaker 8: big things have had for Anthony Fluffy Hernandez.

480
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 6: But but I tell you, John, that division all of

481
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 6: a sudden, Yeah, Kenny, not anyway, that that division really

482
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 6: now you could mix and match a lot of great fights,

483
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 6: and you know, even the uh, you know, the fight

484
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 6: in France, it's gonna be great. The other you know,

485
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 6: oh yeah, you're super excited for dupless Us and Homside

486
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 6: and then man, then you got you got so many

487
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 6: other good fights you can mix and match that that

488
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: there's there's definitely eight to nine to ten guys that

489
00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 6: either way you go, you're gonna have some good fights.

490
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 6: So I think it's a middleweight division went from kind

491
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 6: of nothing to it looks really good.

492
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 9: Though better than ever, you know.

493
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean in the next five weeks too, you're

494
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 8: gonna also have that Boholio Imavov result that Ray is

495
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 8: sort of alluding to.

496
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, I think in terms of heads.

497
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 8: Right, the middleweight contenders, I think most of them, other

498
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 8: than of course Concess, you might have a rooting for

499
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,240
Speaker 8: Due Kennedy to do something dominant to successfully defense belt

500
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 8: here for a third time, because that at least would

501
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 8: open up the door for them. If you get a wart,

502
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 8: you might have and D plus C and maybe an

503
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 8: immediate match because now I know I'm going here, but

504
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 8: r the mob as far as concerned, he has won

505
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 8: a title eliminator, right, Brett Alice want to fight Jared

506
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:51,680
Speaker 8: cannoneers fighting Michael Bennepe this fucking weekend.

507
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 5: I mean it's insane. It's insane.

508
00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, John, you're cutting in and out just a

509
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 4: little bit. But yeah, I think that this middle white

510
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 4: division is the best it's ever been. You see the

511
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 4: amount of talent, the amount of quality that that could

512
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 4: fight for a title in the very near future. Absolutely

513
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,119
Speaker 4: stacked and really curious how this fight is gonna go

514
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,959
Speaker 4: with this main event because both guys are absolute beasts.

515
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, and if you look at even the top ten,

516
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 6: and even though bow Nickel had a bed outing, you

517
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 6: still you know he could still get better. You know,

518
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 6: he can make some adjustments. I mean throw him in

519
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 6: their toe, I mean I think they maybe moved him

520
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 6: a little too quick in hindsight, which you know probably

521
00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 6: didn't work out good for him. But you know, give

522
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 6: him another year, let him develop a little bit, and

523
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 6: I think he got another really good guy. You could

524
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 6: toss him there, you know. So I'm excited for that division.

525
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 6: I think I think Hernandos woke everybody up. I think,

526
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 6: you know, sometimes you get like a fight at the top,

527
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 6: and it's almost like sometimes with the flyweights, they got

528
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 6: to go back to fighting the same guy five times

529
00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 6: in a row. But this is different, man, You got

530
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 6: some the rid of brings a new challenge to everybody.

531
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 6: Hernandez and these are names that aren't like up with

532
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 6: the isa Sonya's and the Stricklands and the Costas, and

533
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 6: you need that new blood coming in from behind and

534
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 6: keep everybody on their toes.

535
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 8: Raydriake is due PLUSI is now the plus one ninety

536
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,480
Speaker 8: five betting underdog in bens of his title. Seems like

537
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 8: every time I go into that drafting sportsbook application, the

538
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 8: price get sweeter if you're betting dupleus C and it

539
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 8: gets a little more sad than she might have. We

540
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 8: need to pick from RedLong on a Tuesday. Who leaves

541
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 8: Chicago's the own disputed FC champ.

542
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 6: You know, I I don't know. I'm I am leaning

543
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 6: towards Duplus's. If I say, if Hamza can't really dominate

544
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 6: huge in that or finish it in the first two rounds,

545
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 6: I just think that other guy could just drig into

546
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 6: deep waters and uh, you know, and if your cardio

547
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 6: is not good, it's just going to be a nightmare

548
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 6: with that guy. And and I think Comsad showed signs

549
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,160
Speaker 6: of maybe slowing down a little bit. You know, if

550
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 6: you go back to like the Gilver Burns even Usban

551
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 6: and the five round fight might have beat him, you

552
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:13,919
Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like he was coming on strong

553
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,240
Speaker 6: Usman in that fight. Uh so this is this is interesting.

554
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 6: Uh it's also interesting. Somebody told me he's working with

555
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,200
Speaker 6: a Dila Shore strength coach.

556
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 5: Cal Yeah, yeah, what is Yeah?

557
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 6: Like he knew nothing about Dila Shore. What a fucking

558
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 6: bunch of sheet motherfuckers. Man. Good luck to you, good luck. Yeah, yeah,

559
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 6: you didn't know that. You couldn't figure that out? That's

560
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 6: all right, all right, So that's that's the first bad sign.

561
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 6: I'd have him triple tested, uh before he gets in there.

562
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 6: I mean, guys are really huge. They're gonna jack them

563
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 6: up on some ship. Now it's gonna be.

564
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 5: A proster huh.

565
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 8: So yeah, I mean you sort of threw me for

566
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 8: a little bit of a loop there. I can't lean

567
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 8: too far into that. But Kenny I doing some content.

568
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 8: Kenny and I were doing some content for UFC Fight Pass, right,

569
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 8: and it seems like everything comes back to Morob these

570
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 8: days for me.

571
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 5: Right.

572
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:21,239
Speaker 8: But cardiovascular strength right, plus sheer will is a very

573
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 8: powerful thing, right, so we know has a great yeah, right,

574
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 8: but when you have the cardio and the will right,

575
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:32,959
Speaker 8: because you can always get a second win potential if

576
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 8: you see fighters get a second wind even when they

577
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 8: gats out right. But I think Hamza Chimay have not

578
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 8: only has that amazing cardio base right that he has

579
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 8: sort of fortified I think during this training camp, but

580
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 8: the will right, because his will is going to be

581
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 8: tested by Dupless and you know in terms of the

582
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 8: Hunger Games and just sheer will, that Dupless he's got

583
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,640
Speaker 8: buckets of it. So that's I think where Chimi is

584
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 8: going to be tested, and I think it's going to

585
00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 8: pass that test.

586
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 6: Oh that's interesting. So but no, because that's so that's

587
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 6: the beauty, but John, that's the beauty of this fight.

588
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 6: There's a lot of questions. Yeah, I'm really like, I

589
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,480
Speaker 6: really want to see the fight, but I'm curious about

590
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 6: a lot of things. And uh, you know, like like, look,

591
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:15,239
Speaker 6: if Hamzak goes out there and he just crushes him

592
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 6: in the first round like he did with Aka, it's

593
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:21,320
Speaker 6: gonna be very impressive, you know what I mean.

594
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 4: And I think he could he could do that regardless,

595
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 4: just because of his offensive firepower. But I think what's interesting,

596
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,200
Speaker 4: and what John's probably alluding to is the fact that

597
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: he could have trained anywhere. He could have stayed in

598
00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 4: Abu Dhabi or and just trained there, but instead, maybe

599
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 4: hearing what people are saying or maybe looking into himself,

600
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 4: he's saying, well, I need to get my conditioning in

601
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 4: order if I have to face this guy who's an

602
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 4: absolute killer in round four and five and he's gonna

603
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: try to take my head off. If I'm not able

604
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 4: to finish him, then I have to be ready. Let

605
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,000
Speaker 4: me go out to California and train with coach cal

606
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 4: and suffer by you know everybody's you know, you know

607
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 4: what what everyone's saying who have trained with coach cal

608
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 4: is that this guy he kills them in training, like

609
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,960
Speaker 4: it is the worst type of suffering that you could experience.

610
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 4: I don't think a guy who is, you know, gonna

611
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,600
Speaker 4: rely on that offensive firepower on his explosiveness, is going

612
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 4: to go there unless he's absolutely hungry. So I think

613
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 4: that's a great sign. And you know, hob Zot's try

614
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 4: to show up that that potential weakness. And and when

615
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 4: we went back and saw that Kamara Uzman fight, you know,

616
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 4: everyone's saying that maybe he was slowing down, maybe tomorrow

617
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 4: would have come back to win that fight. After seeing it,

618
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,800
Speaker 4: he won every single round, right, Like, he won every

619
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 4: single round and really didn't look too tired. So I

620
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 4: don't really agree with that narrative. And it's a common narrative.

621
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,640
Speaker 4: A lot of people are saying it, go back and

622
00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:54,560
Speaker 4: watch that fight because I was really surprised.

623
00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 6: Wait, well wait was that fight at.

624
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 5: Know?

625
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:03,360
Speaker 6: Then comes and the other guy's at one to seventy pounds.

626
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, but Kamara is not a small right, But it's

627
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 8: the Nigerian fucking nightmare, all right.

628
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 5: Like I just Kenny and I saw you, you know,

629
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 5: but I mean, but Kenny got.

630
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 6: A big little guy against a good big guy, A

631
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 6: good little guy against a good big guy. You know

632
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 6: he's supposed to do that. I'm just saying I think

633
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 6: he could have did that one a little you know,

634
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 6: it would have been more impressive if he would have

635
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 6: gotten the matter there well.

636
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 8: And Ham's actually my have that and I was supposed

637
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 8: to face Paolo Costa and Usman stepped in on short notice.

638
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 8: But Usman's a calculating guy, was grossly out of shape.

639
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 8: He wouldn't have taken the fight. I guess the point

640
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 8: Kenny and I are making, and not to put what

641
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:49,560
Speaker 8: words in his mouth, right, but yeah, I don't think

642
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 8: it's out of the realm of possibility that Hamza could

643
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 8: realize success in rounds four and five, because he's a

644
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 8: monster who wants it very badly and works as hard

645
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 8: as anyone if anything is work. Ethic has been an

646
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 8: issue at times that he has worked too hard, and

647
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 8: there are false narratives surrounding that Usman she might have

648
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 8: fight in Kenny and my opinion right, it was a

649
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,920
Speaker 8: one sided fight. I think Usman's performance was elevated or

650
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 8: glorified a little bit because of the short notice.

651
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 5: We just went back and watched that, and you have

652
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 5: won all three fucking rounds. So anyway, I think that's right.

653
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 6: And again, if what you're saying, like like with the

654
00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 6: four and five, then he wins the fight. That's my

655
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 6: only question is if he gasses out against a big,

656
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 6: strong guy like this who's awkward and he's coming at you. Yeah,

657
00:33:33,520 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 6: you're getting into weird scrambles you're not used to it

658
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 6: could it could gass you. But yeah, look everything is

659
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 6: I'm agreeing with you. I'm a disagreeab with Yeah. Uh,

660
00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 6: the fact that going out, like Kenny says, it's one

661
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 6: thing to go out, you know, Like again, he's making

662
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 6: the decision to go out. I just for me, you know,

663
00:33:55,360 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 6: I just the delo sure thing just leave such a

664
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 6: bad taste in my mouth. Like maybe that the reason

665
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,040
Speaker 6: he went out there, you know. But you know what,

666
00:34:05,040 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 6: And guys, I know what the fuck is going on

667
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 6: out there, you know what I mean? Like if you

668
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 6: think everybody's on the up and up, you guys are

669
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 6: really really misinformed, you know what I mean. So I'm

670
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 6: looking at it a little differently than what you're looking at.

671
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 6: Of all the strength guys, which there's a lot of them.

672
00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,440
Speaker 6: Go to the guy it only has the track record

673
00:34:23,520 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 6: of what we're talking about. I don't know what it is.

674
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 6: What it is, you know what I mean? It's the

675
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 6: art of war. I guess right, that's pretty that's a

676
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 6: pretty interesting trust to me.

677
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 8: Right, go to the guy with uh yeah, go to

678
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 8: the guy with intimate familiarity with E.

679
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 5: P O.

680
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 6: Right, yeah, Well, I would think they're taking blood test.

681
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 6: I think somebody told me they were take him blood

682
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,040
Speaker 6: test at one point? Has that had he get passed

683
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,360
Speaker 6: the blood tests? I don't know what it is, what

684
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 6: it is, I don't I'm not gonna I'm not dying

685
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 6: on that hill. But uh, if it's Cardio. If it's

686
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 6: Cardio is good in the four up the fifth, I'm

687
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 6: gonna say he's gonna win that fight.

688
00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, all right, buddy, I know you got to

Speaker 6: I apologize for my first comments. What's that was coming

694
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:30,400

00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,040
Speaker 6: I'm telling you one thing. I enjoy watching it if

699
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 6: you're if you're a business guy and you want to

700
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 6: know about branding and how to build a company. This

701
00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 6: is I studied study what Dana did, man and a

702
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 6: fatigue or whatever. But what a bang of job they've

703
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:03,479
Speaker 6: done with this thing. And I mean, what's the number?

704
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 6: Seven point seven eight billion? And I thought four billion

705
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:11,080

706
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,520

716
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:39,200
Speaker 8: Than the star of the program, the Star of the

717
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 8: three time World MMA Award nominated Anakin Fining podcast very

718
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 8: long ago. So I'm having delay issues. I'm not catching

719
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,680
Speaker 8: his answers nor yours. In totality might be better now

720
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 8: back in the two box, but it's hard to have

721
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 8: a conversation about Sam Calavina and blood doping when you're

722
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,120
Speaker 8: catching every other word, right, It's not that I wasn't

723
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 8: responsive to certain things that he was saying, right, But

724
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 8: let's just be clear. I mean Hamzat Chimayev has always

725
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 8: drawn rave reviews for his work ethic. Yes, there have

726
00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 8: been times where the weight has been an issue and

727
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 8: we've been on fight Island and he's sort of like

728
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 8: not doing maybe what his coaches have wanted to. But

729
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 8: you know, he's married to the game and he has

730
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:26,799
Speaker 8: a great opportunity to prove a lot of different things

731
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 8: against Draakis du Plus see this weekend to that end,

732
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 8: Ken Flow. UFC three nineteen beckins in Chicago and the

733
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 8: last time UFC was in Chicago's twenty nineteen. So let

734
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 8: us begin our celebration right here, right now with Quervo.

735
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 8: It is time for the first shot of the fight weekend.

736
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:43,920
Speaker 8: I spent about a quarter of an hour looking for

737
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,720
Speaker 8: my Quervo shotglass here in the hotel.

738
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 5: I couldn't find it.

739
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 8: You have yours, but we still got the uh querrevo

740
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 8: and we are ready to take our first shot of

741
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 8: the UFC three nineteen fight weekend, not now, but right now.

742
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:56,879
Speaker 9: Cheers my friend.

743
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,439
Speaker 5: What did I say, little hair on the dog? Would

744
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 5: they say little hair on the dog?

745
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 8: All right, So you've been holding back some of your

746
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 8: comments on Dupless and Chimayev, and you can certainly watch back.

747
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 8: Some of those fights that we were referencing involve the

748
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,360
Speaker 8: Komsa Chimya versus Gilbert versus Kamara Usman and some duples

749
00:38:19,480 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 8: ce fight again strictly most recently, we watched all of

750
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 8: those back with like our own sort of commentary on

751
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 8: the side for usc fight pass, and you can ingest

752
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 8: those right now. But Kenny, every time I ask someone

753
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 8: about du plus e Chimayev or we talk about it,

754
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 8: I'm not saying it's like tired or lazy analysis, but

755
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 8: it's like, well, yeah, I mean, if duplus he could

756
00:38:40,960 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 8: just get through the early storm. Sometimes it just comes

757
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 8: down to that. But it seems to be a little

758
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:49,440
Speaker 8: bit too simplistic and there might be a little bit

759
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 8: more involved. I know you'll give a prediction later in

760
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 8: the program, but when you look at this fight, you

761
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,880
Speaker 8: look at the matchup skill for skill, you look at Hamzad,

762
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 8: the money pouring in, what are you expecting to see

763
00:38:59,520 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 8: this weekend.

764
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, John, I agree.

765
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,520
Speaker 4: I think that the narrative should change around this fight

766
00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 4: because a couple things After watching those fights and you know,

767
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,760
Speaker 4: doing the research this week, a couple things were apparent.

768
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:14,839
Speaker 4: First of all, the narrative around that Kamara Uzman fight

769
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 4: is inaccurate, and I think that look like Chimaya have

770
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,520
Speaker 4: went in there very well prepared and he did it

771
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 4: largely in a dominant fashion against one of the best

772
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:30,440
Speaker 4: wrestlers in UFC history. This guy is, you know, a

773
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 4: takedown expert. Okay, he knows how to control people. We

774
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 4: had never seen anybody do that on a grappling level

775
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 4: with their takedown game, especially to someone like Kamara Uzma.

776
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 9: And yes, Uzman, you know he fights at one.

777
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 4: Seventy, but to say that he wouldn't be competitive or

778
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,440
Speaker 4: elite and the one hundred and eighty five pound division

779
00:39:51,600 --> 00:39:54,760
Speaker 4: is just inaccurate as well. This guy is an awesome fighter,

780
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 4: and Chimaya have went in there and looked great and

781
00:39:57,640 --> 00:39:59,800
Speaker 4: at the end of the fight didn't seem like he was,

782
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 4: you know, totally exhausted. And the other thing is you

783
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 4: also want to manage your energy for three rounds. You're

784
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 4: fighting for three rounds, you manage your energy. Energy for

785
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:09,640
Speaker 4: three rounds, you manage your fight, you know, for five rounds,

786
00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,880
Speaker 4: you manage your energy for five rounds. So anyways, I

787
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:17,360
Speaker 4: think him training with coach cal getting his conditioning to

788
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:22,719
Speaker 4: the best possible highest, possible, you know level is going

789
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 4: to be critical here in this fight against uh duplus C.

790
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 4: And the other thing that I took away from this

791
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:31,200
Speaker 4: this research this week was duplus C and his team

792
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:35,040
Speaker 4: and their ability to find a game plan and execute it.

793
00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 9: That's going to be critical here as well.

794
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,560
Speaker 8: Oh, get a prediction on the UFC three nineteen main

795
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 8: event later in the program. I understand why Comzactu you

796
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 8: might have had the distinction as the favorite. Oftentimes you

797
00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 8: know you're betting the number and not the fighter, And

798
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:57,360
Speaker 8: you hear this word value trotted around in sports betting circles.

799
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:00,279
Speaker 8: Perhaps it's a little bit overused, right, but you know,

800
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,479
Speaker 8: you can simultaneously be bullish on CHIMAIAV and also plus

801
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,960
Speaker 8: one eighty five next to duplus C, who's notine to

802
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:08,680
Speaker 8: zero in the UFC, and just be like, I'm gonna

803
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 8: take that plus one eighty five, even though with a

804
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 8: gun to my head, maybe I would take kamzat CHIMAIV.

805
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:15,879
Speaker 8: I just can't wait to see them in the same

806
00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 8: physical space, right like the first stare down at the

807
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,440
Speaker 8: presser on Thursday. I mean, this is big things and

808
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 8: every avid fan is acutely aware of that. So we're excited.

809
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 8: Works all right, a lot of different things as we

810
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 8: sort of empty out what was a busy week in

811
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 8: the fight game. We got to unpack the news desk

812
00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 8: at his time for headlines. Headlines is brought to you

813
00:41:39,160 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 8: by Quervo. Now's a good time to enjoy the tequila

814
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 8: that vented tequila. So we talked about Anthony Hernandez. I

815
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:48,880
Speaker 8: think it's very exciting that he's on his way to Chicago.

816
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 8: So I thought it was interesting at the postfight press conference.

817
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 8: You know, just how deferential he is to his team

818
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:57,520
Speaker 8: and how much confidence he puts in his team. You know,

819
00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 8: he just shows up and I think he said, you know,

820
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 8: I'm usually just high all the time, you know, but

821
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,680
Speaker 8: he shows up, he puts in the work. It's eight

822
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 8: straight wins, and you know, it's just a really interesting time.

823
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:08,680
Speaker 8: I don't know if you have anything more on that, right,

824
00:42:08,719 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 8: but Kyle Bohoalio is going to weigh in as the

825
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 8: backup like three or four weeks before he fights Nosordini

826
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 8: Mobov and Kyle Bojolyyo is one of the most impressive

827
00:42:18,640 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 8: men on this ross, top to bottom. Bro He's the

828
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 8: best English speaker among Brazilians. Right, he can do television

829
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,760
Speaker 8: right now in multiple different languages. Right, He's so married

830
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 8: to the game that he's gonna fly to Chicago way

831
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 8: and as the backup and then go fight in Paris,

832
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:40,320
Speaker 8: France and not Sordini Mavov's backyard, but Anthony Fluffy Hernandez

833
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,360
Speaker 8: maximizes this showcase. And if you're Kyle Bohlyo already in Chicago,

834
00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 8: you're like, oh, you know, like didn't necessarily need to

835
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,880
Speaker 8: deal with that, Right, there's all these guys on the

836
00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:52,880
Speaker 8: cusp and Hernandez made a huge case and yeah, interesting

837
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 8: times at one eighty five.

838
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 4: To be sure, definitely, man Hernandez is a savage, an

839
00:42:58,239 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: absolute savage.

840
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 9: And to see him go out.

841
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 4: There and bully d'litze in the way that he did,

842
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 4: I think spoke volumes for me because I thought physicality

843
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 4: was going to be a factor, and you can't underestimate

844
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 4: that level of toughness, and you know, I don't think

845
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 4: Delice fought the smartest fight, you know. I think he

846
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 4: engaged in it is at his best game, which I

847
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 4: think was a little bit foolish because Hernandez, we know

848
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 4: how proven he is in that realm. And then for

849
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 4: Kyle Bohalio, Yeah, I think he's the ultimate professional man.

850
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 4: This is the guy that put the fighting nerds on

851
00:43:31,840 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 4: the map because he is a student of the game.

852
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 9: He really is a fight nerd. You could see the

853
00:43:36,920 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 9: way that he commits to this game.

854
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 4: I think he's a guy that could definitely fight for

855
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 4: the belt in the very near future, maybe even win it.

856
00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 4: I do think he's that good. He's good everywhere, dangerous everywhere.

857
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 8: I mean, I'm watching all these Americans a couple of

858
00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:56,920
Speaker 8: weeks ago on the post fight show, and this Brazilian

859
00:43:57,080 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 8: in his second language is stealing the show. They're like

860
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 8: keeping him around for extra analysis and another segment, and

861
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 8: he's just so giving is Boholio of his time and

862
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 8: his energy to the fans. I've seen it in Australia,

863
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:12,760
Speaker 8: I've seen it all over the world. So and drinks

864
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 8: du plus e. There may not be a better ambassador

865
00:44:15,719 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 8: for the game than the Middleway champion right now, you know,

866
00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,200
Speaker 8: so awesome things at one hundred and eighty five pounds.

867
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 8: Congrats to Fluffy Anthony Hernandez one of four Bonus winners

868
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:28,280
Speaker 8: alongside Christian Lee, Roduncan, Elijah Smith and Joscelyn Edward's time permitting,

869
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 8: we may circle back to that car. But some other

870
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:33,960
Speaker 8: things that I would like to get to. So Charles

871
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 8: Olavera's fighting Rafael Fhazeve October.

872
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 5: Eleventh in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

873
00:44:39,640 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 8: Now, Charles has suggested that maybe Dan Hooker had called

874
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:46,840
Speaker 8: him out for November and didn't accept the fight in October,

875
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 8: which did not sit well with Charles. It is going

876
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 8: to be Rafael Fazeve coming off a huge win over

877
00:44:50,719 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 8: at Nacio Bata Mondez. But a lot of people are

878
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 8: wondering about the timeline for Charles du Bronx. Olavera canflow

879
00:44:56,840 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 8: was just rather viciously removed from consciousness by Iliotoputia late

880
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 8: June and now headlining against Rafael Fhazive in October. I mean,

881
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 8: there's only one man for the job in a lot

882
00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:10,440
Speaker 8: of respects, right, not unlike Brandon Moreno in Mexico. Right,

883
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 8: you know, with respect to Alex Padeta fight Maga anak Lab.

884
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:15,840
Speaker 8: There's one man for the job in Brazil as Charles Olivero.

885
00:45:15,960 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 8: But I think a lot of people would suggest it's

886
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 8: not ideal to be making this quick a turn your

887
00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 8: thoughts on that.

888
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it's a tough thing because OLIVERA does

889
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 4: get paid a lot of money to go out there

890
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 4: and do his job, and I imagine it must be

891
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 4: hard to turn down that money.

892
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,960
Speaker 7: But also the fact that this is a fighter.

893
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 4: He wants to come back and get back on track

894
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 4: and get a big win doing it against a guy

895
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,319
Speaker 4: like Phyziv. Though I think there's a lot to lose here.

896
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,800
Speaker 4: I think Faziv has way more to gain, and I

897
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:49,560
Speaker 4: think Faziv's probably licking his chops here knowing that Olivera

898
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:52,440
Speaker 4: did just get knocked out, and Olivera has been knocked

899
00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 4: out knocked down a bunch of times over the course

900
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 4: of his career. So very interesting one. You can't count

901
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:02,080
Speaker 4: out oliver with all of his skill either way. That's

902
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 4: going to be a nasty, nassfight.

903
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 8: You bring up a lot of important points now, prize

904
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,279
Speaker 8: fighting right at this stage of Charles Oliver's career. You

905
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:13,600
Speaker 8: gotta think that he's making close to a million dollars

906
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 8: to show he is a global MMA superstar, if not

907
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 8: north of that right as a former un disputed lightweight

908
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:21,720
Speaker 8: champion who successfully defended the title. But you think about

909
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 8: the career for him of late, right, got injured and

910
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,120
Speaker 8: was unable to fight Islami Kashev in the rematch, right

911
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 8: like people forget that he had a rematch on the

912
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 8: books with Islamokasha.

913
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 5: Alexander Volkonowski stepped in right.

914
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 8: Then he fights ar monsaurgiandat UFC three hundred, got a

915
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 8: shit ton done in that fight, but lost a split decision.

916
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 8: Then he fights Michael Chandler again an epic five rounds,

917
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 8: a lot of energy expenditure training for that fight. In fight,

918
00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 8: it was absolutely grueling, even though Charles won that fight.

919
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 8: Going and then he comes and he fights Iliatiportia for

920
00:46:53,160 --> 00:46:55,759
Speaker 8: the title and then he gets knocked out. Now you

921
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 8: start to stack dollar bills. But there's just been a

922
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 8: lot asked of Charles Olvera. And it brings me to

923
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 8: a quote from Kabib nrmago Metov about Islami kashe Now,

924
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 8: Kabib came out and said he only sees one to

925
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 8: two years left for Islam and MMA, and he essentially,

926
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 8: after thirty five years of age, you're never going to

927
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,040
Speaker 8: be the same. People can talk whatever they want. When

928
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 8: you're past your prime, you're going to fight only for money.

929
00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 8: And I know this is something that you grappled with

930
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,320
Speaker 8: right that. You know health was a part of it

931
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,279
Speaker 8: for you, but you just were going to find other

932
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 8: ways to make money as opposed to just sort of

933
00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 8: be a.

934
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:31,480
Speaker 5: Prize fighter at that stage of your career.

935
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 8: So what are your thoughts on on Islam and just

936
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,800
Speaker 8: the general sort of theme of fighters sort of hanging

937
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 8: on when the paydays get the biggest, when maybe their

938
00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 8: game starts to be the smallest.

939
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 4: I think it's important to look at not just how

940
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:51,400
Speaker 4: an MMA fighter views their career, but how the elite

941
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:56,240
Speaker 4: view their career. Habib Normaga Metov is, by any account

942
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 4: elite one of the best to ever do it. And

943
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 4: when you see his approach, you see how thoughtfully is

944
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 4: it and what he does, every move is calculated similarly

945
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 4: similarly to Iliotoporia. I see him in that same vein,

946
00:48:09,320 --> 00:48:12,200
Speaker 4: and I think that there's some truth to that. This

947
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 4: game is extremely difficult, Okay, and you're throwing punches and

948
00:48:17,280 --> 00:48:20,919
Speaker 4: you're getting hit repeatedly, and your body will eventually feel

949
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 4: the effects of that, especially when you have that kind

950
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 4: of hard nosed style that Isla Mahashev uses. He employees

951
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 4: a heavy wrestling style. Now that can go very, very well,

952
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 4: but as you get older, it's tougher to sustain that

953
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 4: level of training, that level of you know, activity as

954
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:39,600
Speaker 4: far as a professional fighter.

955
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,239
Speaker 9: So I think what habib' is saying is right now.

956
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the approach for every single fighter,

957
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:47,239
Speaker 4: but if you want to stay elite, and if you

958
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:50,840
Speaker 4: want to preserve your legacy and to those elite champions

959
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 4: John Jones, you know.

960
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 9: Guys like Iliotoporia, Habid Magna.

961
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:59,239
Speaker 4: These guys want to get in and get out, make

962
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 4: their money, deserve their you know, immaculate record, and get

963
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 4: out of the game. So I think he probably wants

964
00:49:05,719 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 4: that same thing for his buddy is Lamhashia.

965
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you wonder what Islam Makashev's net worth is

966
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 8: right now. I mean, Habib has just made an embarrassment

967
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,080
Speaker 8: of riches, but you wonder where Islam is at. And

968
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 8: the front part of Habib's quote Kenny is when you

969
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 8: become thirty five, you need to stop doing this because

970
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,839
Speaker 8: leave the sport for young guys. When you become thirty

971
00:49:26,880 --> 00:49:28,920
Speaker 8: five and you don't finish, somebody else is going to

972
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 8: finish you. Why it's better to finish And then he

973
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,120
Speaker 8: sort of goes into the rest of his quote, right,

974
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,239
Speaker 8: but it's just sort of debtails with what you're saying

975
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 8: about the standard being elite and what it takes to

976
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:40,239
Speaker 8: sort of stay at the top, not just stay at

977
00:49:40,280 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 8: the top, but with style points as well. I want

978
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 8: to sort of segue to something else related to the

979
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:48,239
Speaker 8: lightweight division to get at your thoughts on it. So

980
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 8: who is Iliot Topoitia going to fight next? I don't

981
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 8: know if you have a prediction as to who you

982
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 8: think he is going to defend the lightweight title against.

983
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 8: But I want to read a quote from Kamara Usman

984
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:05,560
Speaker 8: as to this situation. Now, keep in mind, Kamara Usman's

985
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 8: teammate and dear friend is Justin Gaechee, So take this

986
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 8: for what it is worth. But here's the quote from

987
00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:13,800
Speaker 8: Kamara Usman on a potential title shot for Patty pimblet.

988
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 8: If you're not gonna do Urmansaur Gianna, You're not going

989
00:50:16,840 --> 00:50:19,800
Speaker 8: to do justin engage. You've got Dan Hooker there, Mataus

990
00:50:19,840 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 8: Gamrop and Neil dar Us in front of Patty Pimblet.

991
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 8: So to skip all of these guys just to give

992
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:26,360
Speaker 8: him a title shot that kind of spits in the

993
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 8: face of the merit of the best fights the next

994
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 8: best guy. So I don't agree with that statement in totality.

995
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 8: I think there's part of it that maybe I can understand.

996
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 8: But when you start suggesting in a meritocracy that Patty

997
00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:44,279
Speaker 8: Pimblet falls so far below guys like Mattauj's Gamrod and

998
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,560
Speaker 8: Dan Hooker and Baniel Darus who have lost fights, you

999
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 8: lose me. I mean, say what you want about, you know,

1000
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:53,759
Speaker 8: the golden hair and the ability on a microphone and

1001
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,239
Speaker 8: everything else. But Patty Pimblet is an exciting fighter. He's

1002
00:50:56,320 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 8: undefeated in the UFC. Notice I'm not mentioning the friction

1003
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 8: with ill but it's not as though, in my opinion, Kenny,

1004
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:07,360
Speaker 8: Patty Pimblet is totally out of this conversation based upon merit,

1005
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 8: even if he doesn't have the ranking that maybe a

1006
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:10,920
Speaker 8: Gamro does.

1007
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on all this?

1008
00:51:12,920 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean there's there's a lot to unpact there.

1009
00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,839
Speaker 4: But you know, obviously we have to address the fact

1010
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 4: that fights get put together for a variety of reasons.

1011
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,600
Speaker 4: They get put together because one guy is the number

1012
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 4: one contender in that division, pretty straightforward, we all understand that.

1013
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,520
Speaker 4: The other reason is, you know, maybe they're on some

1014
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 4: crazy win streak where they've defeated a lot of big

1015
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:35,560
Speaker 4: names in a row, and maybe they're three or four,

1016
00:51:36,120 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 4: but that's the fight that you know, you know, people

1017
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,759
Speaker 4: think this guy deserves, and the fact that maybe a

1018
00:51:42,800 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 4: couple of those guys ahead of him have already fought

1019
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,160
Speaker 4: the champ. Okay, then there's the fact that what's going

1020
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 4: to bring in the most money for that fight, and

1021
00:51:52,000 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 4: without question, out of all those guys in the division,

1022
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 4: Patty Pimblet is going to bring in more money from

1023
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 4: a business perspective, for Iliotopora, for the ufc UH, and

1024
00:52:02,320 --> 00:52:05,200
Speaker 4: of course for Patty Piblet himself. So it's hard and

1025
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,279
Speaker 4: it's hard to argue against that. Right, this is what

1026
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 4: every fighter is trying to put themselves in a position for,

1027
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 4: whether it's through merit, whether it's through talking trash, whether

1028
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,800
Speaker 4: it's just being popular with the fence, whatever it is.

1029
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:20,399
Speaker 4: So there's a variety of reasons. Now, I think it's

1030
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 4: probably gonna be Armand's Rukian. I think maybe they'll make

1031
00:52:24,120 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 4: a fight between Gaechie and Patty Pimblet and the winner

1032
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,560
Speaker 4: will then maybe get the next shot. I think that's

1033
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 4: I think that's kind of the way to go. But

1034
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 4: would be surprised if Patty Pimblet skips the line.

1035
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:43,120
Speaker 8: So my informed speculation is that unless you're paying Justin

1036
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,160
Speaker 8: Gaichie some absurd amount of money, he's not fighting Patty Pimblet.

1037
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,000
Speaker 8: I mean, you're gonna have to pay him four or

1038
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 8: five million bucks to show it's just isn't gonna happen.

1039
00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:51,239
Speaker 6: You know.

1040
00:52:51,480 --> 00:52:55,720
Speaker 5: So, but I do think that Armand Saurgian is gaining steam.

1041
00:52:56,760 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 8: I think Sarakian is gaining steam, even temporary suggests that

1042
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 8: nobody cares about him. Because there are two different things

1043
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:06,520
Speaker 8: at play. How much money does a division make the

1044
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,839
Speaker 8: UFC with a given fighter as champion. For example, at

1045
00:53:09,880 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 8: welter with they make more money when Jack Dela Madelena

1046
00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 8: is the champion that Bala Mohammed is the champion, not

1047
00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:19,479
Speaker 8: to suggest that JDM is a massively bigger draw.

1048
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,720
Speaker 5: But he comes from a nation.

1049
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 8: Obsesses over the UFC, so over there, I mean, it

1050
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 8: goes without saying that he's a bigger draw than Balalan.

1051
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 8: Even if Dela Madeleine is not some master promoter nor orator,

1052
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 8: that division is going to make more money with Jack

1053
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 8: Dela Madalena as the champion than Bala Muhammed. The lightweight

1054
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 8: division is going to make more money if Condor McGregor's

1055
00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 8: the champion than almost anyone else, right, But it'll make

1056
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,840
Speaker 8: more money if eliots Oporti's the champion as opposed to

1057
00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 8: Arman Sarukia. I think so, I don't necessarily know, right,

1058
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 8: Like you're saying that the biggest fight at the window,

1059
00:53:55,880 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 8: so to speak, is Toty versus Pimblin. How big is

1060
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 8: that fight compared to Toporus Gaichee in any given I

1061
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 8: don't know.

1062
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:09,359
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, listen, I think Gaigee's right there behind him.

1063
00:54:09,480 --> 00:54:14,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, so we'll see thection in which they go.

1064
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:19,680
Speaker 8: But you know, it's like justin Gaichie back in the

1065
00:54:19,800 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 8: gym and not on the golf course. You know, I

1066
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:23,880
Speaker 8: start to wonder, it's like, oh are they doing to

1067
00:54:24,040 --> 00:54:26,239
Speaker 8: Puttia Gichi in December or whatever, you know, because I

1068
00:54:26,280 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 8: do believe Justin has drawn a line in the sand.

1069
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 8: And you know, there's just so much to sort of

1070
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:36,360
Speaker 8: analyze with Dana White's reaction to what happened at UFC

1071
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 8: three seventeen with Patty Piblet being brought into the octagon

1072
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 8: and all of that, and Dana's sort of luke warmness

1073
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 8: with how that was handled.

1074
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad you gave us the backdrop on that,

1075
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 4: you know, background and context on that, because I think

1076
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 4: that's pivotal as well. Because the other factor that I

1077
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 4: didn't talk about is the fact that what's going to

1078
00:54:56,120 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 4: be the most exciting fight, right because Serouki into pull

1079
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 4: just from people analyzing it, maybe from the UFC's perspective,

1080
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,879
Speaker 4: Serukion loves to wrestle, Maybe they don't want to see

1081
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 4: that fight.

1082
00:55:06,880 --> 00:55:07,320
Speaker 7: Gaigee.

1083
00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:09,839
Speaker 4: We all know what he's gonna do, and we all

1084
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 4: know what to Poria is going to invite, and that

1085
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 4: might be the most exciting fight out of all the

1086
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:20,200
Speaker 4: possibilities out there. John, so very interesting stuff and.

1087
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 8: Who knows what armand saur Kian could do once he

1088
00:55:23,280 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 8: would have the belt, right, Like, it's not out of

1089
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 8: the realm of possibility that he could become a global superstar, right,

1090
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 8: and just seems.

1091
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,960
Speaker 5: Annoyed when he's around me all the time, you know

1092
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:32,400
Speaker 5: what I mean.

1093
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,080
Speaker 8: Maybe he'll smile at some point when when he shares

1094
00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:37,239
Speaker 8: the airspace with me in the in the future. But

1095
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,560
Speaker 8: you just don't know potentially what a guy could be.

1096
00:55:40,840 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 8: I mean, look at Morob Duala Shwilly. Now just because

1097
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:46,160
Speaker 8: Sean o'milly would sell more pay per views. And by

1098
00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:48,680
Speaker 8: the way, this dovetails with the Paramount plus deal because

1099
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 8: that's no longer going to be a thing thing next year.

1100
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,359
Speaker 8: But do you think the UFC forecast that Marob would

1101
00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 8: become this big a global star. Probably not. Otherwise maybe

1102
00:55:57,880 --> 00:55:59,640
Speaker 8: he would have gotten the championship opportunity soon.

1103
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:01,760
Speaker 7: No exactly.

1104
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:04,240
Speaker 4: And I think it's very similar Habet among the Madoff.

1105
00:56:04,239 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 4: He he experienced the same kind of criticism, uh, you

1106
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 4: know throughout his career.

1107
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:12,520
Speaker 9: Ah, he's boring, he's gonna do. But look what happened

1108
00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:13,080
Speaker 9: to him, you know.

1109
00:56:13,280 --> 00:56:17,480
Speaker 4: And again the fact that there's parody out there and

1110
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 4: a lot of these divisions of the UFC. That's what

1111
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: makes them such a great company and such a global

1112
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 4: powerhouse is there's so many great fights to make and

1113
00:56:25,040 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 4: the guys that you beat, these big names, whether it's

1114
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 4: O'Malley or whoever it is, that's gonna propel you to

1115
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 4: be a superstar.

1116
00:56:31,719 --> 00:56:33,760
Speaker 9: And Morob has done that one after another.

1117
00:56:33,840 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 4: And he's a star just based on his marin and

1118
00:56:36,200 --> 00:56:38,879
Speaker 4: of course is his charisma outside of the cage as well.

1119
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:46,239
Speaker 8: Very interesting things at one hundred and pounds, and we'll

1120
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 8: see the direction the promotion goes. But these are good

1121
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 8: problems to have in a lot of respects and fun

1122

Speaker 8: hear them, who know the rule, but then they'll drop

1176
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 8: about the Brazilian RS. When there are two of them,

1177
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 8: it becomes an H. Two is right there in the

1178
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 8: middle of the word becomes an H. But in the

1179
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 8: case of alex po Reira, they're both ours, right, So yes, Pereira.

1180
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:06,400

1181
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 8: you want to get fancy, you can drop a patata

1182
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 8: as we do. But uh, eventually it'll stick for you, folks.

1183
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 8: It is Diego faheite all right. Second file is the

1184
01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 8: guy fighting drink is Duplessie Kenny. I guess nothing too

1185
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 8: challenging about saying his name, but we'd like to hear

1186
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,439
Speaker 8: you say Drake is dupless. He's opponent's name, if you would.

1187
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1188
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 4: So the K and the H is like a ha,

1189
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:29,160
Speaker 4: So hamzat chimaya.

1190
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:36,720
Speaker 8: It's Ken Flow's bar mitzvah. Later today, let's hear the

1191
01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 8: file Cody okay.

1192
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 7: Rolling coums at chimayo hums at.

1193
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 6: Hums at.

1194
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 5: Right, certainly sounds like a man who could kill you

1195
01:00:51,080 --> 01:00:51,720
Speaker 5: with his bare hands.

1196
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:53,720
Speaker 9: Man, it's great.

1197
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 4: So he's so soft spoken, then he fights the complete opposite.

1198
01:00:57,760 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean.

1199
01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:02,880
Speaker 8: I get intimidated when he walks into the fighter meeting,

1200
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 8: that's for sure. His attendance record is not perfect when

1201
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 8: it comes to so when they did that UFC Fight

1202
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 8: Island documentary, I can't even believe that this ended up

1203
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,800
Speaker 8: being in the documentary. But Paul Felder is about to

1204
01:01:23,880 --> 01:01:26,680
Speaker 8: go call some fights, right, this is the global pandemic.

1205
01:01:26,760 --> 01:01:29,560
Speaker 8: Everybody masked up and he was across the hall from me,

1206
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 8: and this was like a Wednesday, midweek fight night.

1207
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 5: I wasn't calling the fight.

1208
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,040
Speaker 8: So he knocks on my door and this is all

1209
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 8: documented on ESPN Plus in this documentary. He knocks on

1210
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,600
Speaker 8: my door as he's on his way to the arena,

1211
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 8: and I answered the door in a bathrobe. I'm getting

1212
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 8: ready to just watch the fights. And he is asking

1213
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 8: me the pronunciation of Kamzat chimayah, and he says, not

1214
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:53,600
Speaker 8: Kamzat but Cosmo like has Matt suit like Cosmot. And

1215
01:01:53,640 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 8: I'm like, yep, Cosmo chimayah. You know, I give him

1216
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:00,720
Speaker 8: the wrong information as uh as he heads out.

1217
01:02:00,760 --> 01:02:02,960
Speaker 5: So all right there, You're all right.

1279
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,640

Speaker 7: Get him out of here? Yeah?

1282
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:43,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I'm a jersey guy, I'm a memorabilia

1283
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 8: baugh guy, I'm a card guy.

1284
01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 5: You're kind of blowing my mind right now.

1285
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1286
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,439
Speaker 8: I Uh, When I was in Las Vegas last week

1287
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 8: for some business. They have this company I think called

1288
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:55,880
Speaker 8: Lucky Vending, where you can, you know, for one hundred

1289
01:04:55,880 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 8: and fifty bucks, you in a vending machine can get

1290
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 8: an autograph jersey, right. And what's funny is I think

1291
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:04,720
Speaker 8: the company is called Authentic Fans and it's our exact

1292
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 8: Anakin Florian monogram is their logo. It's actually crazy. I'm

1293
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 8: meant to have the visual for the show today, right.

1294
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 8: But so you put one hundred and fifty dollars into

1295
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 8: the vending machine. And I came across this on Instagram,

1296
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,520
Speaker 8: and so I fucking get it the rio to find

1297
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 8: this Lucky Vending Machine because I just love the suspense

1298
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 8: the mystery box. I'm getting an autographed jersey, right, So

1299
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:29,600
Speaker 8: out pops a Houston Rockets Clyde.

1300
01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,439
Speaker 5: Drexler autograph jersey, which is a good get.

1301
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:32,720
Speaker 6: Right.

1302
01:05:32,800 --> 01:05:34,479
Speaker 8: So I'm looking at the back of it, number twenty

1303
01:05:34,560 --> 01:05:38,440
Speaker 8: two Clyde Drexler six signature. I turn it around and

1304
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,800
Speaker 8: instead of saying Houston or Rockets, never, it says the

1305
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,840
Speaker 8: Glide his fucking nickname. Now, say what you want, but

1306
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 8: it's not an authentic jersey. It's just the jersey by

1307
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 8: this company. And it says the fucking Clyde, and if

1308
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 8: I washed it, it would probably wash right off.

1309
01:05:55,600 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 5: The fucking jersey, just lock yours. So I will show

1310
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 5: that next week.

1311
01:05:59,480 --> 01:06:02,160
Speaker 8: But uh, but dude, shout out though to Lucky Venning

1312
01:06:02,200 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 8: because it's an amazing concept and it Maybe want to

1313
01:06:05,080 --> 01:06:07,120
Speaker 8: go back and just put another three hundred bucks into

1314
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 8: machine and see if I can get another couple of jerseys.

1315
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,040
Speaker 5: All right, a lot of picks to get to today.

1316
01:06:11,360 --> 01:06:13,600
Speaker 5: I am had some Wi fi Is shoes at the hotel,

1317
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 5: so hopefully you catch what I'm putting down.

1318
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 8: Yes, we will start with the premium fight in the

1319
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 8: lightweight division, Brian Edson Barbosa minus one sixty two. Your

1320
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:27,360
Speaker 8: car closes plus one thirty six. So Barboza went four

1321
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,320
Speaker 8: and four at featherweight. Now back to fifty five where

1322
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 8: he has won fourteen times in the UFC. He is

1323
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:37,400
Speaker 8: thirty nine years of age fighting the MMA. Labster car

1324
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 8: close BP take it away.

1325
01:06:39,160 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean I'm still amazed at Edsen barbos makes weight.

1326
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:44,760
Speaker 12: I mean, the guy has no fact to lose. He's

1327
01:06:44,800 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 12: an incredible shape. I like him out forty five year

1328
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 12: Typically I don't like older guys cutting weight, but I

1329
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 12: like him here, and I think he's explosive. I think

1330
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,240
Speaker 12: car close. I when I watched tape on him, I

1331
01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 12: thought he's a better wrestler. I thought he wrestled more.

1332
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 12: He doesn't really wrestle as much as I thought he did.

1333
01:06:58,560 --> 01:07:00,960
Speaker 12: He's more of a pressure guy, getting your face roughly up,

1334
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 12: maybe taking down. But he doesn't go for a lot

1335
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:04,760
Speaker 12: of takedowns. And I think that's gonna be a problem here.

1336
01:07:04,760 --> 01:07:07,400
Speaker 12: He's coming off a big knockout loss over jo Alvarez,

1337
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,200
Speaker 12: and I think you know Edsen Barboa's Edsen Barbo's a

1338
01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,560
Speaker 12: prime to do that to him as well. Those flying knees,

1339
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 12: those kicks, all those explosiveness is still there. Even though

1340
01:07:16,120 --> 01:07:18,200
Speaker 12: Edsen barbo is thirty nine years old. We're getting a

1341
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 12: low price out him, out minus one sixty two. I

1342
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 12: thought maybe he'd a little bit higher. But I like

1343
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 12: that it's earlier in the week. Maybe the line will move.

1344
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 7: I like Barbosa here.

1345
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 12: Maybe Barbo bye by finish as well, dust off the

1346
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:30,080
Speaker 12: old finished machine for Edsen Barboza.

1347
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:31,160
Speaker 7: I like him here.

1348
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 9: Yes, sorry, Johnny's cut off there.

1349
01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 7: Yeah.

1350
01:07:40,200 --> 01:07:43,240
Speaker 4: I like Barbosa as well. Man, I think he's gonna

1351
01:07:43,240 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 4: be the more technical striker. I think that, you know,

1352
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,840
Speaker 4: he tends to struggle against guys who have a high

1353
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 4: pressure game, who look for, you know, a heavy takedown

1354
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 4: type approach. And I don't really see that here a Brian,

1355
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,880
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I don't think your car Close is

1356
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,120
Speaker 4: that guy. I also think that he doesn't have have

1357
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 4: like elite footwork where he could really pressure and like

1358
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,280
Speaker 4: you know, put Barbosa on his back foot repeatedly for

1359
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:08,120
Speaker 4: fifteen minutes.

1360
01:08:08,160 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 9: I think this is a good fight for Barbosa, So

1361
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 9: give me Edson.

1362
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 8: Hah, Hey, ken Flow, did you ever wear the cologne Dracarnoir?

1363
01:08:21,320 --> 01:08:23,240
Speaker 7: Yes? I did, Yes, I diday.

1364
01:08:23,400 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 5: So Ryan Petree is younger than us. I don't know

1365
01:08:26,920 --> 01:08:27,320
Speaker 5: if he knows.

1366
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 9: He doesn't understand the power.

1368

1370
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:40,559

01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 8: black or half black, but noir translates to black. Right,

Speaker 8: Chicks jealousy, right, you were French kissing a woman minimal

1384
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 8: that night if you.

1385
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 5: Put on.

1386
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 7: I had I had Curve Curve with Closes.

1387
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 8: Nine and three in the UFC and doesn't necessarily get

1388
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:57,479
Speaker 8: the body of work credit that he deserves.

1389
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 5: Maybe he just needs a nickname.

1390
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 8: Certainly a widow fits and barbos this weekend would be

1391
01:10:00,920 --> 01:10:04,240
Speaker 8: useful for the car nowar Close all right?

1392
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:05,360
Speaker 5: Also lightweight.

1393
01:10:05,600 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 8: He chased supers three twenty five, Alexander Hernandez plus two

1394
01:10:09,200 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 8: sixty who he love?

1395
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,960
Speaker 7: I love Chase Hooper. I listen.

1396
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:14,560
Speaker 12: I want to take but I want to apologize to

1397
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 12: mister Hooper after the Steve Garcia loss I was very negative.

1398
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 12: I thought you should maybe spend some time outside UFC,

1399
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:22,760
Speaker 12: just because for his health. He got knocked around pretty bad.

1400
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:24,640
Speaker 7: But you know what he did. He beated up a

1401
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,000
Speaker 7: little bit, went up to fifty five.

1402
01:10:25,960 --> 01:10:28,000
Speaker 12: And always done his win right and he's looked good

1403
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:31,280
Speaker 12: doing it, and he's improved everywhere wrestling, grappling, striking.

1404
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,679
Speaker 7: His striking is very awkward, it's long. He uses kicks

1405
01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 7: really well to keep you at distance. He throws good punches.

1406
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:38,519
Speaker 7: He dropped Slava Claus.

1407
01:10:38,800 --> 01:10:41,040
Speaker 12: You know he had his grapplings obviously a league because

1408
01:10:41,040 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 12: he went pretty much three round grappling fence against a

1409
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 12: guy named Jim Miller ever heard of him, and he

1410
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:48,120
Speaker 12: did really well and he won the fight. I think

1411
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 12: this kid's gonna be on the I wouldn't say the

1412
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:53,200
Speaker 12: word special yet, but he's on the verge of possibly

1413
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 12: being specialies, almost like a special list. Where his ground

1414
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,800
Speaker 12: game is scrambling is so good it's really hard to

1415
01:11:00,160 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 12: you know, kind of judge for that. And you got

1416
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:03,680
Speaker 12: Alex Hernandez who likes to mix up wrestling a little bit,

1417
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 12: but he's more of a pot shot. He likes to

1418
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 12: lean in one big shot. He's not a combination guy.

1419
01:11:07,280 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 12: He has decent footwork. Cardials seems to be kind of

1420
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 12: improving as well. He's been bouncing up and down in

1421
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 12: waight classes. He wants forty five to five pick away class.

1422
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:16,840
Speaker 12: My guy doesn't matter that. I think Chase Hooper is

1423
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 12: gonna go in there. He's gonna get a finish here.

1424
01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,679
Speaker 12: I think Chase super can do whatever he wants. Club

1425
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:23,280
Speaker 12: and sub is probably what I see happening, clipping him

1426
01:11:23,320 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 12: taking a neck.

1427
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:31,919
Speaker 7: I like Chase Hooper big in this spot, keflow.

1428
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:36,639
Speaker 8: Chase Hooper is absolutely fucking scorching right now. Five straight

1429
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 8: wins for the still just fibled add of EATA. I

1430
01:11:41,360 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 8: had a pretty good test.

1431
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, Brian, I'm with you, man. I think that Chase

1432
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 9: Hooper is gonna take this.

1433
01:11:54,560 --> 01:11:58,400
Speaker 4: I think that Hernandez is probably gonna be the better striker,

1434
01:11:58,479 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 4: I guess overall, but defense he's not great himself. And

1435
01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,600
Speaker 4: I think Chase Hooper is doing a good job with

1436
01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 4: those kicks that you mentioned of keeping him on the

1437
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 4: outside and then he can kind of get to a

1438
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 4: place where he can get to that clanch and take

1439
01:12:09,479 --> 01:12:12,439
Speaker 4: this fight to the ground, whether it's jumping guard or

1440
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 4: hitting a takedown and just pressing Hernandez until he breaks.

1441
01:12:16,360 --> 01:12:18,560
Speaker 9: I think this is Chase Hooper's fight to lose, and

1442
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,040
Speaker 9: I couldn't agree more.

1443
01:12:20,200 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 4: After that loss against Steve Garcia, I did the same thing, man,

1444
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,240
Speaker 4: I wrote him off, and I think we didn't understand

1445
01:12:25,320 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 4: two things. I don't think I understood how good Steve

1446
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:31,720
Speaker 4: Garcia was at the time, and also how good Chase

1447
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 4: Hooper was and how dedicated he was.

1448
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,600
Speaker 9: To honing in on his craft. So yeah, I like

1449
01:12:36,720 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 9: Chase here as well.

1450
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 8: I thought it was interesting when Alexander Hernandez talked about

1451
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 8: the featherweight division zero to three. He's like, yeah, that

1452
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 8: experiment is over.

1453
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:50,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, yes, it's a lot right which you buddy.

1454
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:57,920
Speaker 8: Loopy Goda, Loopy Godinez minus one forty eight Jessica Andrage

1455
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 8: plus one twenty four bpm and keep it brief because

1456
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 8: of the connection.

1457
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 5: Who do you like here at one fifteen?

1458
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 7: Yeah? I like Lupy.

1459
01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,479
Speaker 12: I think Lupy's wrestling is gonna set her apart. Her

1460
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:09,640
Speaker 12: sister's an absolute beast wrestler. Jessica and Draz does not

1461
01:13:09,760 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 12: do well when she's on her back or takedown the

1462
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 12: fence is pretty good, but when she gets on her back,

1463
01:13:13,640 --> 01:13:16,320
Speaker 12: it's a problem. Lupy's gonna put her there. I like

1464
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:18,400
Speaker 12: Lupy to finish. She's only got two finishes in UFC.

1465
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 12: Maybe this is gonna be a third one submission real

1466
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:24,760
Speaker 12: naked joke. Maybe head an arm, give me loopy kemp fo.

1467
01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 8: Godinaz did lose two fights previously, she got back in

1468
01:13:28,920 --> 01:13:32,479
Speaker 8: the win column, but this would be unquestionably a signature win,

1469
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 8: her biggest career win, andras set for her thirtieth UFC

1470
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:39,599
Speaker 8: appearance and forty first pro fight overall.

1471
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 5: How do you see this one going down? Ken Flow?

1472
01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know both ladies here two and two in

1473
01:13:43,520 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 4: the last four fights. It's hard to know which one

1474
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 4: is going to show up. You know, both ladies a

1475
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 4: little bit inconsistent. I think if Godinaz is able to

1476
01:13:51,800 --> 01:13:53,840
Speaker 4: get her wrestling in order, I think she wins this

1477
01:13:53,960 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 4: fight because I think she's the more technical striker overall,

1478
01:13:57,360 --> 01:14:01,640
Speaker 4: Andrage definitely has more power, So how that matches up.

1479
01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:03,360
Speaker 4: If this fight does stay on the feet, I think

1480
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,599
Speaker 4: it's going to be interesting. I think Godinez also probably

1481
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,439
Speaker 4: has the better conditioning and patients. Androge sometimes loses her

1482
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,360
Speaker 4: patients and gets a little bit tired at times or

1483
01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,000
Speaker 4: frustrated at times, so tricky one.

1484
01:14:15,320 --> 01:14:16,320
Speaker 9: But I don't know why.

1485
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,200
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of going my gut here. I'm going

1486
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,280
Speaker 4: to go the opposite here, Brian Patrie. I'm going to

1487
01:14:20,320 --> 01:14:21,640
Speaker 4: go with Jessica Ondroje.

1488
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 7: I want to put money on it.

1489
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 9: Stick around, we'll find all right.

1490
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:31,520
Speaker 8: It is interesting because Andrage has these perhaps by necessity

1491
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 8: career resets, right.

1492
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:34,559
Speaker 5: So it's like, oh, I'll just go to flyway. Oh

1493
01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:35,640
Speaker 5: maybe I'll like bantam way.

1494
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:38,200
Speaker 8: Right, But for UFC winning percentage is now down to

1495
01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 8: fifty eight percent. She lost her last two of twenty five,

1496
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:44,000
Speaker 8: has won her last two of fifteen, so we'll see

1497
01:14:44,040 --> 01:14:44,639
Speaker 8: what she has.

1498
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 5: For Lupy Godinez this weekend, all right.

1499
01:14:46,960 --> 01:14:49,439
Speaker 8: Next up in the lightweight division the aforementioned Diego Fajita

1500
01:14:49,479 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 8: minus one sixty two King Green plus one thirty six.

1501
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:55,240
Speaker 8: Bajita's won two of three Brie, but those has only

1502
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 8: three fights since twenty twenty one, so hasn't been the

1503
01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 8: most active party. What are your thought on him here

1504
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 8: against the fellow veteran King Green.

1505
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:04,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, a couple vets. I think we're gonna let it

1506
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 7: roll hang out.

1507
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:06,400
Speaker 12: I think it's gonna look a lot like the Jim

1508
01:15:06,479 --> 01:15:08,360
Speaker 12: Miller fight where King Green fought, where they're just gonna

1509
01:15:08,400 --> 01:15:10,479
Speaker 12: be like, you know what, we've been here, we've done.

1510
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,439
Speaker 7: This, let's throw down.

1511
01:15:11,720 --> 01:15:14,439
Speaker 12: I think Fianda has the bandage on the ground. I

1512
01:15:14,520 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 12: think his submission game is obviously better. But I do

1513
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:18,880
Speaker 12: think he has some really sneaky power in his hands.

1514
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 12: He has a lot of knockouts with his hands, and

1515
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:23,960
Speaker 12: it's it's it's real, and his boxing is pretty Chris.

1516
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:26,280
Speaker 12: I'm not worried about him being forty years old. The

1517
01:15:26,439 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 12: numbers low enough for me to play him. I like

1518
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:30,200
Speaker 12: fan here, but knockout. I think King Green coming off

1519
01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 12: two ugly losses. I know he didn't get knocked out

1520
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:35,080
Speaker 12: by by Patty Piman, but he got knocked around, got

1521
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:37,840
Speaker 12: knocked out by Rufie. He needs a big win here,

1522
01:15:37,960 --> 01:15:39,799
Speaker 12: you know. But I think that chin has been tested.

1523
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 12: I think it's it's starting. You know, he's been in

1524
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:44,759
Speaker 12: a lot of wars. Gimme diego by Ko.

1525
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:48,559
Speaker 5: I love when he gives us a method of victory

1526
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 5: not required.

1527
01:15:49,360 --> 01:15:51,840
Speaker 8: Incidentally, here on the Anakin Flom podcast, Kenny king Green

1528
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,320
Speaker 8: will be thirty nine next month. Obviously, The Vicious knockout

1529
01:15:55,400 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 8: his last time out against Mauritio Rufie. That was in

1530
01:15:57,320 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 8: March at UFC three thirteen. How do you see a

1531
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 8: plan out, Ken?

1532
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, both these guys have fought some really, really tough guys.

1533
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:07,920
Speaker 4: I guess I'm just a little bit more impressed with

1534
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 4: Fajeda lately, and I agree with Brian. I think he's

1535
01:16:10,960 --> 01:16:13,599
Speaker 4: showing more improvements. I think he has more ways to win.

1536
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 4: And it's really really tough to rely on what version

1537
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 4: of Bobby Green is going to show up or King Green.

1538
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,400
Speaker 4: I should say so because of that, I'm gonna go

1539
01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,880
Speaker 4: with THEJDA. I think if it does stay on the feet,

1540
01:16:26,960 --> 01:16:28,680
Speaker 4: I think he's got a great chance of winning here.

1541
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,880
Speaker 4: Still just can't get frustrated with that awkward style of

1542
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 4: King Green. But I actually think he's going to try

1543
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:36,679
Speaker 4: to take this fight to the ground. I think that's

1544
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:40,760
Speaker 4: where King Green is most vulnerable. We shall see, all right,

1545
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:41,559
Speaker 4: ladies and gentlemen.

1546
01:16:41,640 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 5: That brings us to the main card. And you know

1547
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 5: what I'm gonna miss say, and that brings us to

1548
01:16:45,479 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 5: the main card.

1549
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 6: Love on pay per view.

1550
01:16:50,280 --> 01:16:52,840
Speaker 8: In the flyweight division, Kayaks to Cora monasterih five, Tim

1551
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 8: Elliott plus two forty five. So Asakura, as you guys

1552
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 8: well know, was vaulted into the championship fight against Pantosi

1553
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 8: and debut perhaps a more handleable challenge here against another

1554
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 8: former world title challenger, tim Elliott BP gut Yeah.

1555
01:17:07,640 --> 01:17:09,320
Speaker 7: I like Osakr. I think he's a cool guy.

1556
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:10,960
Speaker 12: Right, he's got you know, he's got the blonde hair,

1557
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,679
Speaker 12: he's got the swag, right like he's in a fun fire.

1558
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 12: But he found out, right, he got thrown into the wolves,

1559
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 12: and he fucking found out. You know, the Pantosia fight

1560
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:22,320
Speaker 12: was not even close, and there's no there's no don't

1561
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 12: hang your head on that. Pantosi is one of the

1562
01:17:24,120 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 12: poundful pound best.

1563
01:17:24,960 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 7: He's an elite.

1564
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 12: You got thrown to the wolves, right, uh, but now's

1565
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 12: your time to remake it up time. Now's your time

1566
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:32,360
Speaker 12: to show what you got. And I'm worried about his

1567
01:17:32,479 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 12: takedown fence you notoriously, it's been bad. He's good at

1568
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 12: getting up, he's bad at stopping the takedowns. So tim

1569
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,360
Speaker 12: Elliott's a free tim Elliott takes you down every which way.

1570
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 12: He's got that running single leg across the cage. You

1571
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,920
Speaker 12: get you with a double leg. He's a wild dude.

1572
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 12: He's got really interesting striking. Kysta Kora's got power, but

1573
01:17:49,240 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 12: his striking is the cleanest in the world. He throws

1574
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 12: big shots. What I can see Tim ducking under and

1575
01:17:54,160 --> 01:17:56,200
Speaker 12: get he takedowns there. I want Ki to win. I

1576
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:58,760
Speaker 12: think will open up the freshness of the division. I

1577
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 12: like him, you know, and he's from Japan obviously in

1578
01:18:01,880 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 12: the Japanese wrestling team right now, the Olympic team. The

1579
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 12: American or excuse me, the Olympic team is so fucking good.

1580
01:18:09,080 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 12: They placed at the World Games, they win at the

1581
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:14,280
Speaker 12: Olympic Games. Train with those guys, work on your wrestling.

1582
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 12: Hopefully he's doing that, and then you're gonna be an

1583
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:19,479
Speaker 12: absolute murderer. I don't know if he's doing that. I

1584
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 12: don't know if it's too soon, too quick. Give me

1585
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 12: the dog and Tim Elliott right, Tim ly at UFC

1586
01:18:24,080 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 12: proven Kasa Kora, big step up, big number. If this

1587
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:30,240
Speaker 12: number was a lot lower, obviously I'll be looking at

1588
01:18:30,280 --> 01:18:32,679
Speaker 12: Kai a little bit. But minus three zho five, which

1589
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 12: is gonna climb a little bit, little too chunky for

1590
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 12: your boy.

1591
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:37,439
Speaker 9: Give me Tim tim.

1592
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:40,000
Speaker 8: Elliot plus two forty five can flow on DraftKings Sports book.

1593
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,479
Speaker 8: He's thirty eight years of age, hasn't fought since a

1594
01:18:42,600 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 8: pretty memorable win over sum Mudharji that was an arm

1595
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 8: try and go all the way back in twenty twenty three,

1596
01:18:48,040 --> 01:18:52,760
Speaker 8: Elliott nine and eleven in his two UFC stints. This

1597
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 8: would be a huge win if you could get at Kenny.

1598
01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 9: What are your thoughts, Yeah, it would be a huge win.

1599
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:01,080
Speaker 4: And Tim Elliott has such an unorthodox style that that

1600
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:02,760
Speaker 4: is really hard to plan for.

1601
01:19:03,360 --> 01:19:07,000
Speaker 9: This guy trains extremely hard as well, and.

1602
01:19:07,840 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's got a lot of tools, and

1603
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,960
Speaker 4: you know, on the other side of things, it's hard

1604
01:19:12,040 --> 01:19:13,800
Speaker 4: to write off someone like Asakura.

1605
01:19:14,280 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 10: Why.

1606
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:18,920
Speaker 4: I mean, his UFC dB was against uh Pantosia. No

1607
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 4: shame in losing to someone like Pantosia. I think Pantosa

1608
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:25,200
Speaker 4: is just different. And I do know that osci Kor

1609
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 4: does really work on his wrestling. But I agree with Brian.

1610
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:31,200
Speaker 4: Right now, as far as the lightweight class, Japan has UH.

1611
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 9: Maybe the best team in the world right now.

1612
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,559
Speaker 4: Yeah, they're they're unbelieved, so he definitely should be getting

1613
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:38,639
Speaker 4: some training in with those guys. So I don't know, man,

1614
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:41,800
Speaker 4: I think Ocikor is the more explosive striker and as

1615
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 4: far as like you know, timing his strikes. Tim Elliott

1616
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 4: really needs to be careful with the style of OC

1617
01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:48,880
Speaker 4: as well, because he throws a lot of things at

1618
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,000
Speaker 4: you that that most guys don't throw.

1619
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 9: So I'm leaning the way of Asa Kora, you know.

1620
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:56,400
Speaker 4: I I agree with Brian the numbers a little high,

1621
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna go with the Japanese fighter here.

1622
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:02,799
Speaker 8: Sometimes things get lost in translation, but Osakura came across

1623
01:20:02,920 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 8: to me as very cocky. Now cocky can be a

1624
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:07,760
Speaker 8: good thing in sport. I would suggest to you guys

1625
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 8: that Eliot Oputia is confident, but not really arrogant nor cocky.

1626
01:20:12,720 --> 01:20:14,720
Speaker 8: And I think nothing worse than life than being like

1627
01:20:14,840 --> 01:20:17,840
Speaker 8: cocky without a cause. I think may actually have a

1628
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 8: cause to be cocky. But Eli and not a guy

1629
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,439
Speaker 8: who want to be over confident against o right midweight

1630
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 8: division Michael ven Im Page minus one eighty five Jared

1631
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,719
Speaker 8: Cannonier plus one fifty four.

1632
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 5: So MVP Brye two in one of the UFC coming

1633
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:31,720
Speaker 5: off a.

1634
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:33,760
Speaker 8: Great win over shar Bullet earlier this year, He's been

1635
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,519
Speaker 8: a great addition to the roster in two divisions, and

1636
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:39,840
Speaker 8: if he can beat the still a problem killer guerilla

1637
01:20:39,920 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 8: here he's in middleway title contention.

1638
01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,240
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on this one, Brian?

1639
01:20:43,760 --> 01:20:45,600
Speaker 12: Yeah, gona be honest. When this fight came together, I

1640
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 12: was like, I don't know how I felt about it, right,

1641
01:20:47,960 --> 01:20:49,400
Speaker 12: It was a weird feeling. I'm like, is that going

1642
01:20:49,479 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 12: to be a good fight, because you know, I see

1643
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,080
Speaker 12: MVP as a one seventy fighter right now at one

1644
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 12: eighty five and Jerry keneers every bit of one hundred

1645
01:20:55,720 --> 01:20:58,040
Speaker 12: five pounds. The guy's bricked up, right. But then the

1646
01:20:58,120 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 12: more I thought about, the more I did tapes, tam like, oh,

1647
01:20:59,880 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 12: this be a fun fight because can Neer is not

1648
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:04,680
Speaker 12: the fastest guy in the world. No one can replicate

1649
01:21:04,840 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 12: MVP in the training room. So the only way to

1650
01:21:07,080 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 12: really get after MVP pressure wrestling, leg kicks, rough them up, right,

1651
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 12: it's the only way. But his footwork's so good it's

1652
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:16,599
Speaker 12: hard to do that, and can near lacking the speed.

1653
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:19,479
Speaker 12: How do you combat someone's speed. You touch the body,

1654
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:22,439
Speaker 12: you break that distance, You create your own distance, and

1655
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 12: that's what he's got to do. And I think that's

1656
01:21:23,960 --> 01:21:26,040
Speaker 12: gonna create a really fun fight here. And I think MVP,

1657
01:21:27,120 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 12: I've been a fan of him outside the UFC right now.

1658
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:30,760
Speaker 12: I know he got this label all he's beating up

1659
01:21:30,800 --> 01:21:32,280
Speaker 12: cans or whatever. I think he's an elite guy. I

1660
01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 12: think he's a fun guy. But the one thing we

1661
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:36,719
Speaker 12: haven't seen in the UFC yet is that one signature knockout,

1662
01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 12: that special knockout right. He holds up the fucking venom.

1663
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,479
Speaker 12: He does all the goofy cool shit, you know, with

1664
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:44,120
Speaker 12: this big personality as a fan, as a guy, this

1665
01:21:44,240 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 12: could be live.

1666
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 7: I want to see that. So I'm going to MVP.

1667
01:21:46,479 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 7: I'm going to be by Ko as well.

1668
01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,960
Speaker 12: I think a Ford pressure by Jared Kanneer, who's trying

1669
01:21:50,960 --> 01:21:52,920
Speaker 12: to catch MVP. I think he's gonna run into something.

1670
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,519
Speaker 12: Jared Kanneer has been shook in the last few fights

1671
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 12: as well. His chin solid, but he has been put

1672
01:21:57,600 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 12: down before. He has been put out before, and I

1673
01:21:59,439 --> 01:22:02,120
Speaker 12: think MVP he is a guy that can do it

1674
01:22:02,200 --> 01:22:04,040
Speaker 12: with us just a style. So I like MVP. I

1675
01:22:04,080 --> 01:22:05,400
Speaker 12: like him by Koe and I like that. I like

1676
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 12: the low number as well, minus one eight five.

1677
01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:11,560
Speaker 8: Man, if you're one of these fellow contenders, Bijlio, Imavov,

1678
01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 8: Anthony Fluffy, Hernandez is gonna have wheels up around in Chicago, right,

1679
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 8: You do not want Michael Venam Page to head kick

1680
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:20,439
Speaker 8: knockout Jared Knnoneer in two minutes because then all of

1681
01:22:20,479 --> 01:22:21,080
Speaker 8: a sudden, all.

1682
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 5: Hell might break loose.

1683
01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:24,360
Speaker 8: Now, CANNONI is an interesting case, Kenny, and I'm not

1684
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 8: sure how history is going to look back upon him,

1685
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:29,640
Speaker 8: hopefully fondly. He's forty one years of age, eleven and

1686
01:22:29,680 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 8: eight in the UFC. So the winning percentage, you know,

1687
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 8: fifty seven percent, not great, I guess overall, but an

1688
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,799
Speaker 8: amazing strength of schedule rally to be Gregory Rodriguez earlier

1689
01:22:38,880 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 8: this year, right, a young, hungry up and comer who's

1690
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 8: a monster, and that is his sixth consecutive main event

1691
01:22:45,680 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 8: or title fight. So three rounds now for Cannoneer territory

1692
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:51,879
Speaker 8: he's not used to. How do you handicap his matchup

1693
01:22:51,920 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 8: with Michael Venam Page.

1694
01:22:53,760 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, Brian, I think you're right, man. I

1695
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:59,840
Speaker 4: think that Cannoneir has a ton of great experience John,

1696
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:03,800
Speaker 4: but that also can be his undoing as well. I

1697
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:04,600
Speaker 4: think he's been in.

1698
01:23:04,640 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 9: A lot of wars and we're seeing a.

1699
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,479
Speaker 4: Slowing down of Cannoneer. Anyway, there was a time where

1700
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:13,439
Speaker 4: he had this iron chin and now we're seeing, you know,

1701
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 4: him a little bit vulnerable in that regard, and that's

1702
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:18,200
Speaker 4: not a great sign because as Brian you know, gave

1703
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 4: his phenomenal analysis, I couldn't agree more. In order to

1704
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 4: win this fight, he's got a pressure. In order for

1705
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:27,599
Speaker 4: MVP to look at his best, he needs someone to pressure.

1706
01:23:27,760 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 4: So I think that opens up MVP to look very

1707
01:23:30,960 --> 01:23:35,080
Speaker 4: very good here. And while canoneer can win this fight,

1708
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,960
Speaker 4: he has to be extremely careful. He kind of has

1709
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 4: two pass. He stays on the outside and tries to

1710
01:23:41,080 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 4: outpoint MVP. Probably gonna lose that because of that lack

1711
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:47,639
Speaker 4: of speed, or he pressures tries to back up MVP

1712
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 4: and take away his offense, or he gets counterstruck with

1713
01:23:50,439 --> 01:23:53,599
Speaker 4: something big. So I don't love this fight for him

1714
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,439
Speaker 4: with Brian here, I like MVP.

1715
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 6: Well.

1716
01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 8: I featured out in the welcherweight division Carlos Prime Test

1717
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 8: Monus two fifty eight Jeff Neil plus two ten, so

1718
01:24:03,400 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 8: protest Bride trying has sort of spin it forward to

1719
01:24:05,400 --> 01:24:07,760
Speaker 8: the positive here after his first UFC loss came to

1720
01:24:07,800 --> 01:24:10,800
Speaker 8: Ian Shadow Gary back in April. But there's kind of

1721
01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 8: a butt right I mean two weeks before that fight,

1722
01:24:13,720 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 8: he was supposed to face Jeff Neil in a three rounder.

1723
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,880
Speaker 8: Neil had to pull out. Protests steps into a main

1724
01:24:19,960 --> 01:24:23,680
Speaker 8: event against Ian Mashadow Gary So and now stepping in

1725
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:26,519
Speaker 8: to fight Neil upon his return. I think Protests deserves

1726
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,559
Speaker 8: some acknowledgment for that, but we need to pick.

1727
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 5: Brian who do you love?

1728
01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, Protess is a fucking animal, right that dude. He

1729
01:24:33,360 --> 01:24:34,479
Speaker 7: deserves all the profits in the world.

1730
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 12: Ian Gary fight really surprised me because my analysis, I

1731
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,439
Speaker 12: was worried about the cardio. I mean, this guy's smoking cigarettes,

1732
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 12: partying all the time. He looked better when the fight

1733
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:43,600
Speaker 12: went on. I mean, he kind of was stagnant. He

1734
01:24:43,680 --> 01:24:46,200
Speaker 12: had some slow moments, but when you watch that fight

1735
01:24:46,320 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 12: in the fight in the fourth and fifth round, like

1736
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,640
Speaker 12: he was still fucking dangerous going for it. That's not

1737
01:24:50,760 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 12: what I saw pre fight. So that's impressive to me

1738
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,120
Speaker 12: and Jeff Neil. I'm glad they rebooked this fight because

1739
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:57,760
Speaker 12: both these guys are gonna stand up and they're gonna

1740
01:24:57,800 --> 01:24:59,640
Speaker 12: let it all hang out. Jeff Neil fought kind of

1741
01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 12: a lock lesser potmans against Ian Garry. I know, he's

1742
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:03,680
Speaker 12: what decision he thought he might have won, but he's

1743
01:25:03,680 --> 01:25:06,240
Speaker 12: didn't let it go. The fight before that against Rockmanoff,

1744
01:25:06,280 --> 01:25:07,840
Speaker 12: he let it go and he ended up getting finished.

1745
01:25:07,840 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 12: So I think that played in his head against Gary.

1746
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:12,479
Speaker 12: He's obviously coming off the last one against RDA, who

1747
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,200
Speaker 12: had I believe a leg injury. So say what you want,

1748
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:16,920
Speaker 12: but I think just to come down to striking that

1749
01:25:17,040 --> 01:25:19,959
Speaker 12: Jeff Neils a great south Paul. I think his boxing's

1750
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:22,960
Speaker 12: very good. I think is counter left hands beautiful. Its

1751
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 12: combinations are pretty good. When he leads, he touches the

1752
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:27,599
Speaker 12: body really well. But Practice has got that tie style,

1753
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:30,320
Speaker 12: the long legs, he uses all his weapons. Jeff Neil's

1754
01:25:30,320 --> 01:25:31,880
Speaker 12: got the biggest kick in the world. He's got a

1755
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,640
Speaker 12: pretty decent head kick, but Practice is gonna mix it up.

1756
01:25:34,680 --> 01:25:37,720
Speaker 12: Not to mention he's got absolutely devastating, devastating power in

1757
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 12: his hands, and his clinch game is really nasty. Jeff

1758
01:25:40,240 --> 01:25:42,000
Speaker 12: Neil's pretty good in the clinch as well. But Protest

1759
01:25:42,160 --> 01:25:44,920
Speaker 12: is a dog in there. And I think Protest, with

1760
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 12: a little bit of hype that he had, or a

1761
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 12: lot of hype that he had, I think some of

1762
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:50,360
Speaker 12: it dropped a little bit. People still love him, but

1763
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 12: I think he wants that back. And now you get

1764
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 12: a huge crowd in fucking Chicago, one of the biggest

1765
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:58,519
Speaker 12: paper views of the year, one incredible card. He's gonna

1766
01:25:58,560 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 12: show out. I like Carlors prob I like him by

1767
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,080
Speaker 12: Ko as well. Jeff Neil doesn't get put out by

1768
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:05,360
Speaker 12: many people. One guy kote I'm back in the regional scene.

1769
01:26:05,400 --> 01:26:07,840
Speaker 12: I was a guy named Kevin Holland, So he doesn't

1770
01:26:07,840 --> 01:26:08,519
Speaker 12: get put out a lot.

1771
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:08,680
Speaker 6: You know.

1772
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 12: Submission, sure, Ko, not much, But I think protests can

1773
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,360
Speaker 12: go out there and go for the killing and Ko,

1774
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 12: Jeff Neil.

1775
01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:18,240
Speaker 8: Are we so societally uptight that if Carlos Protest wins,

1776
01:26:18,320 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 8: he can't like smoke a cigarette.

1777
01:26:20,400 --> 01:26:21,639
Speaker 5: On top of the at octagon.

1778
01:26:22,479 --> 01:26:23,840
Speaker 7: I love love it, you know what I mean?

1779
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:25,559
Speaker 5: Kenny, who do you like in the fight?

1780
01:26:26,200 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 9: I think he should be smoking while the fight's going on. Myself,

1781
01:26:29,360 --> 01:26:30,520
Speaker 9: I think it's ridiculous.

1782
01:26:31,040 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, no, I I I love this fight. I'm

1783
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 7: with you, Brian.

1784
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 4: I think that both these guys, with their styles, I

1785
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:41,200
Speaker 4: think that's going to be an entertaining one. Jeff Neil

1786
01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:45,320
Speaker 4: concerns me just because this guy has so much talent

1787
01:26:45,400 --> 01:26:47,880
Speaker 4: and so much but so much potential, But there's times

1788
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:50,080
Speaker 4: where I feel like he hesitates too much and kind

1789
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 4: of doubts himself a little bit at times.

1790
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,240
Speaker 7: Carlos Protest is not the guy you.

1791
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:56,720
Speaker 4: Want to go in there with any doubt. You have

1792
01:26:56,920 --> 01:26:58,720
Speaker 4: to commit to what you're doing, or Protest is going

1793
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 4: to make you pay. And I think that that hesitancy

1794
01:27:02,200 --> 01:27:05,640
Speaker 4: tends to exacerbate when he faces guys that are a

1795
01:27:05,720 --> 01:27:09,120
Speaker 4: little bit taller, a little lankier. You know, it's hard

1796
01:27:09,160 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 4: for him to get on the inside and kind of commit.

1797
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:14,720
Speaker 4: And for that reason, I like Protest here as well.

1798
01:27:15,960 --> 01:27:19,479
Speaker 5: By co main event in the featherweight division, the UFC

1799
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 5: debut has a rived for Aaron Pico. It was to

1800
01:27:21,880 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 5: happen in Abu Dabi against Monster. I have Loyd instead

1801
01:27:24,360 --> 01:27:25,679
Speaker 5: debut in a few weeks later.

1802
01:27:25,840 --> 01:27:27,599
Speaker 8: And he will do so bri as a minus one

1803
01:27:27,720 --> 01:27:31,000
Speaker 8: sixty six betting favorite against the undefeated miracle Laron Murphy,

1804
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 8: who comes back plus one forty BP.

1805
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 5: Who do you like in the co main event?

1806
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:37,439
Speaker 12: So I don't want to short change Laura Murphy, but

1807
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 12: I'm gonna be talking a lot about Aaron Picos. Let

1808
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 12: me get the Laura Murphy positive out of the way.

1809
01:27:40,920 --> 01:27:43,559
Speaker 12: He's looked phenomenals. Last three fights his co He's main

1810
01:27:43,600 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 12: event against Eds and Barbosa, incredible. The volume was there,

1811
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,640
Speaker 12: take down defences there against Josh Emmittt. He looked really good.

1812
01:27:49,680 --> 01:27:51,880
Speaker 12: As Cardio has shown up. He pitches shots really well.

1813
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:56,120
Speaker 12: Undefeata fighter deserves this. This codein event here I love him.

1814
01:27:56,400 --> 01:27:59,280
Speaker 7: But if you dig up the old BPI's Twitter, there

1815
01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 7: are a lot lot of tweets about Aaron Picico. I

1816
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:02,080
Speaker 7: like this kid.

1817
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 12: This guy's been through everything, he's he's young still and

1818
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 12: he's such a phenom in a weird say. I don't

1819
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:09,360
Speaker 12: hate saying that word. I don't think I've ever said it,

1820
01:28:09,400 --> 01:28:11,200
Speaker 12: but it's weird. Like his wrestling is so good, it's

1821
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,639
Speaker 12: just as good as boxing's really good. Everyone that trains

1822
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 12: with them says, this guy's like work ethic is next level.

1823
01:28:16,160 --> 01:28:17,720
Speaker 12: You ever seen the guy with his shirt off? I mean,

1824
01:28:17,880 --> 01:28:20,760
Speaker 12: Jesus Christ me. The guy doesn't take a day off.

1825
01:28:21,320 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 12: And then he's been through everything with them a career.

1826
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 7: Which I like.

1827
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:26,000
Speaker 12: His debut with a ton of hype because Geek Team choked.

1828
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,040
Speaker 12: Then he goes and he beats some people, gets knocked

1829
01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,040
Speaker 12: out twice in a row. Right then he goes on

1830
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 12: a huge run blows his shoulder out in the fight.

1831
01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 12: He's been through it all, He's lost. He's not just

1832
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:36,280
Speaker 12: undefeated of prospect with his heads in the cloud that

1833
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,200
Speaker 12: doesn't know how to lose. Eleven of us thirteen wins

1834
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:40,680
Speaker 12: are all by finished as well, so the guy's a

1835
01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:42,760
Speaker 12: finisher as well. On top of that, his wrestling is

1836
01:28:43,320 --> 01:28:46,120
Speaker 12: great as ground and pounds even better. His standards really good.

1837
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 12: His boxing's good. Chin is the only thing I'm concerned

1838
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 12: about it if Roe Murphy sits down on something Aaron Pico,

1839
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:53,880
Speaker 12: can you know his defense is at a high level

1840
01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:56,519
Speaker 12: yet it's getting there obviously with the Jackson team. But

1841
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 12: if he takes a shot clean on the chain by

1842
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,599
Speaker 12: Laura Murphy, that's gonna concern me because we haven't seen

1843
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:01,880
Speaker 12: that yet.

1844
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 7: He's been a steamrolling everybody.

1845
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:05,600
Speaker 12: But I think Pico is a phenomenal guy that was

1846
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 12: bummed out that he's fight evil of in Abu Dhabi

1847
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:09,720
Speaker 12: and then all of a sudden, Hey, I get to

1848
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:11,720
Speaker 12: see him live now, which is which is fantastic.

1849
01:29:12,640 --> 01:29:14,320
Speaker 7: I like am Pico here. I don't want to shore

1850
01:29:14,360 --> 01:29:15,439
Speaker 7: chains with Murphy. I think Aerraa.

1851
01:29:15,479 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 12: Murphy is a phenomenal dog. Pick right, because this is

1852
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 12: one of those things where Pico coming in UFC. This

1853
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,640
Speaker 12: the fucking show, right, We've seen it. Patri Mixon have

1854
01:29:23,680 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 12: a great performance. He's a high level guy. This is

1855
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 12: the fucking show, right. So Laura Murphy's been there, Let's

1856
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 12: see if Aaron Pico can step up and get it done.

1857
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:34,920
Speaker 7: I think he can. I like Aaron Pico, I like

1858
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:35,439
Speaker 7: him a lot.

1859
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:39,599
Speaker 5: Yes, Yeah, his story is crazy.

1860
01:29:39,720 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 8: Kenny Pico makes his pro debut under the Belatur banner

1861
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 8: Madison Square Garden in twenty seventeen. He gets submitted in

1862
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,600
Speaker 8: twenty four seconds. Bride did a nice job sort of

1863
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 8: setting up everything that he has been through. But a

1864
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:56,639
Speaker 8: blue or blue chip prospect in MMA maybe ceases to exist.

1865
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Speaker 5: Now he's finally in the UFC trying to take Laro

1866
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:00,360
Speaker 5: Murphy Zoe. How do you see it? Planer?

1867
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:02,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, Well, a lot of people were excited when he

1868
01:30:02,680 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 4: got into MMA because he was the under seventeen world

1869
01:30:06,520 --> 01:30:09,560
Speaker 4: champion in wrestling. He was an Olympic alternate when he

1870
01:30:09,680 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 4: was in his early teen still, so it's it's really

1871
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,480
Speaker 4: really impressive from an athlete perspective.

1872
01:30:15,560 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 9: What this guy has accomplished already.

1873
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 4: But I think that sometimes he gets a little reckless,

1874
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,720
Speaker 4: he gets a little excited, and unfortunately, he took some

1875
01:30:24,880 --> 01:30:27,840
Speaker 4: fights early on that he had no business taking. People

1876
01:30:27,920 --> 01:30:30,880
Speaker 4: got too excited about him, and you know him and

1877
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:33,519
Speaker 4: his management took the wrong fights. I do think he's

1878
01:30:33,560 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 4: a much better fighter now and I think he should

1879
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:39,200
Speaker 4: be taken way more seriously. But fighting a guy like

1880
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 4: Laron Murphy, even on relative short notice, I think is

1881
01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:44,680
Speaker 4: a big challenge for him. And when I look at

1882
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,160
Speaker 4: this fight and I see, you know who the underdog is,

1883
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 4: Laren Murphy, a guy who is a proven fighter in

1884
01:30:50,400 --> 01:30:54,280
Speaker 4: this weight class against really tough guys. I like Laro

1885
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,439
Speaker 4: Murphy here, and yes, Aaron Peago can win this fight,

1886
01:30:57,960 --> 01:31:01,280
Speaker 4: but I think Laro Murphy, uh is a.

1887
01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:02,759
Speaker 9: Very interesting underdog.

1888
01:31:02,880 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 8: Bet here nice We'll see if Karl Prince is smiling

1889
01:31:07,479 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 8: even though a te Bagotier won't be with him in Chicago,

1890
01:31:10,360 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 8: or maybe he will be there in the corner of

1891
01:31:12,880 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 8: Laro Murphy.

1892
01:31:13,640 --> 01:31:18,280
Speaker 5: Alright, main event, Take a deep breath, folks.

1893
01:31:18,280 --> 01:31:21,760
Speaker 8: On disputed Midway titles on the line, we always list

1894
01:31:21,840 --> 01:31:25,080
Speaker 8: the favored fighter first. That is Kamzat Chimayav the challengers

1895
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,200
Speaker 8: MONT two twenty five drinkers du pless. He comes back

1896
01:31:27,240 --> 01:31:29,960
Speaker 8: plus one eighty five du plus e. Brian, as you

1897
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:33,479
Speaker 8: well know, has twice successfully defended the title and now

1898
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:36,600
Speaker 8: trying to do so as they decided underdog against the

1899
01:31:36,680 --> 01:31:41,719
Speaker 8: fourteen to zero Chechnian Kamzat Chimayav BP, who leaves United

1900
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:43,519
Speaker 8: Centers the unisputed UFC Midaway Champ.

1901
01:31:44,160 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 7: I mean, what a fight, right, I've turned the car

1902
01:31:46,280 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 7: on both these guys, right, Like Chamaiav. I'm like Gouy,

1903
01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 7: He's just one round guy. Then he goes out to

1904
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:54,360
Speaker 7: and destroys you know everybody. Ddp's got that awkward style.

1905
01:31:54,439 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 7: It's whatever I was negative on him, and he just

1906
01:31:56,680 --> 01:31:59,160
Speaker 7: it's effective as what he is is what he how

1907
01:31:59,240 --> 01:31:59,719
Speaker 7: he fights.

1908
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:03,120
Speaker 12: Man, I can't wait for this. I watched the Countdown show.

1909
01:32:03,160 --> 01:32:05,960
Speaker 12: I've watched all the ddp's fights, all the Tremaiez fights,

1910
01:32:06,000 --> 01:32:08,000
Speaker 12: and I mean, obviously, the most obvious thing to say

1911
01:32:08,040 --> 01:32:10,320
Speaker 12: in the world is Tomaya's a really good one round fighter.

1912
01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 7: How is he gonna look after round one? But he's

1913
01:32:12,439 --> 01:32:15,120
Speaker 7: with the right people. He's in America now, he's training

1914
01:32:15,160 --> 01:32:15,719
Speaker 7: with the right people.

1915
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 12: I think he's gonna look good after round one, right,

1916
01:32:17,800 --> 01:32:19,479
Speaker 12: I don't think that's a narrative we can talk about.

1917
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 12: But I think GDP only gets better after round one.

1918
01:32:22,680 --> 01:32:25,080
Speaker 12: So it's gonna be really gonna be interesting to see

1919
01:32:25,120 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 12: how Tremaiah is. There's a lot of shit talking going on,

1920
01:32:28,280 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 12: but not really by each other the coaches, right, Kabeim's like, hey,

1921
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 12: this Dudel Tamaia's to stand up with DP ddp's coaches.

1922
01:32:35,160 --> 01:32:37,280
Speaker 12: I'm not gonna license this guy with his stand up,

1923
01:32:37,320 --> 01:32:39,800
Speaker 12: which I think is absurd to say. But like he's like,

1924
01:32:39,880 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 12: we're ready for the wrestling, We're ready for the but

1925
01:32:41,840 --> 01:32:43,640
Speaker 12: is he ready for a stand up? I love the

1926
01:32:43,720 --> 01:32:46,040
Speaker 12: confidence on both sides here. I think Tramaia's doing everything

1927
01:32:46,120 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 12: right that he needs to do. He seems healthy, seems

1928
01:32:48,640 --> 01:32:51,479
Speaker 12: to be in shape, and it's interesting. I'm gonna see

1929
01:32:51,479 --> 01:32:53,360
Speaker 12: how he does because DP is gonna give up s takedowns.

1930
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 12: How is ddp's submission defense? How is all that he's

1931
01:32:56,200 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 12: ever been submitted before? But let's see how his defense is? Right,

1932
01:32:59,160 --> 01:33:01,960
Speaker 12: and DDP is just a big, strong guy. I think

1933
01:33:02,000 --> 01:33:04,240
Speaker 12: he's gonna be able to work himself up. It's TREMAIV

1934
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,839
Speaker 12: going to abandon the takedowns and just work his striking,

1935
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,040
Speaker 12: which I think is pretty good. Is primarily boxing, but

1936
01:33:09,080 --> 01:33:11,320
Speaker 12: it's pretty good. But he's hard to get a hold

1937
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:13,960
Speaker 12: of DDP. That is that rhythm that he does. He

1938
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,760
Speaker 12: even he's so awkward in the beginning. His rhythm's not

1939
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 12: there yet. It takes him a little bit to find

1940
01:33:18,439 --> 01:33:20,679
Speaker 12: his own rhythm and then throws off everyone else.

1941
01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 6: You know.

1942
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,240
Speaker 12: The israel A sign and fight really open my eyes

1943
01:33:23,320 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 12: on how great this guy is, how just a bull

1944
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:27,960
Speaker 12: of a man he is, how strong and determined and

1945
01:33:28,320 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 12: mentally fortitude and everything, you know. With that long being said, listen,

1946
01:33:32,400 --> 01:33:33,880
Speaker 12: I could go on and on for this. I can

1947
01:33:33,960 --> 01:33:35,680
Speaker 12: break this down every which way, but I'm gonna go

1948
01:33:35,760 --> 01:33:37,280
Speaker 12: with my gut. I mean, I think there's a fifty

1949
01:33:37,320 --> 01:33:39,760
Speaker 12: to fifty fight. I really truly do. But my gut

1950
01:33:39,840 --> 01:33:41,600
Speaker 12: says DDP is going to retain. I think, you know,

1951
01:33:41,720 --> 01:33:44,160
Speaker 12: later the fight goes. I think he has been there.

1952
01:33:44,240 --> 01:33:47,200
Speaker 12: The lights are bright, and he's fought under that. And

1953
01:33:47,320 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 12: he's the dog here too, is well, I need to

1954
01:33:49,080 --> 01:33:52,880
Speaker 12: chase money, and I just think DDP at dog money

1955
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:55,280
Speaker 12: at this time in his career where he's red hot

1956
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:58,040
Speaker 12: I think that's a lot of value, So give me

1957
01:33:58,240 --> 01:34:00,439
Speaker 12: jakis uplus's to retain the title.

1958
01:34:01,680 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, Kenny, I'm not an odds maker, right. I don't

1959
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:06,879
Speaker 5: always predict what the line is going.

1960
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 8: To be effectively, but I do, like Brian, sort of

1961
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,720
Speaker 8: see this as sort of a fifty to fifty proposition.

1962
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 8: I feel like it's kind of a pick and fight,

1963
01:34:14,920 --> 01:34:17,439
Speaker 8: and yet she might have his minus two twenty five

1964
01:34:17,520 --> 01:34:18,080
Speaker 8: in climbing.

1965
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:20,280
Speaker 5: Can't wait to see how it plays out. The time

1966
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 5: is now for your prediction.

1967
01:34:21,320 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 4: Ken DDP is a really difficult guy to predict because

1968
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:29,200
Speaker 4: you know, as he was coming up, you're looking at

1969
01:34:29,240 --> 01:34:31,760
Speaker 4: some of his fights and you're saying, well, he's doing

1970
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:34,840
Speaker 4: this wrong. This looks very different from what everybody else

1971
01:34:34,960 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 4: is doing, and that the timing is awkward, and surely

1972
01:34:38,400 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 4: he's going to come across the fighter eventually that beats him,

1973
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:43,559
Speaker 4: and everyone's like, Sean Strickland's going to be that guy.

1974
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:44,400
Speaker 9: Sean Strickland.

1975
01:34:44,600 --> 01:34:46,439
Speaker 4: He does all these things, he's beating all these guys,

1976
01:34:46,479 --> 01:34:49,720
Speaker 4: he has all the experience, and then what happens He.

1977
01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 7: Goes out and beats Strickland.

1978
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:54,080
Speaker 4: I think he did that injured, goes out rematches, Strickland

1979
01:34:54,280 --> 01:34:58,960
Speaker 4: beats him again convincingly in dominant fashion, and then you're like, well,

1980
01:34:59,080 --> 01:35:01,519
Speaker 4: you know there's the Winnaker guy. You know they clearly

1981
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:03,760
Speaker 4: Whitaker the former champ, and he's gonna beat him, he's

1982
01:35:03,800 --> 01:35:06,400
Speaker 4: the better fighter. Well, he couldn't do it. He got

1983
01:35:06,520 --> 01:35:09,840
Speaker 4: dominated in a round two by by DDP. And then

1984
01:35:09,960 --> 01:35:12,840
Speaker 4: of course Atasanya, an elegant fighter, a guy with a

1985
01:35:12,920 --> 01:35:15,760
Speaker 4: ton of experience, a knockout artist. He does this and

1986
01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:19,120
Speaker 4: that it's beautiful to watch him fight. Well, he couldn't

1987
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 4: get it done against DDP. DDP goes out and finishes him.

1988
01:35:22,280 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 4: So Drakis Duplasi is a fighter that has only gotten better.

1989
01:35:26,160 --> 01:35:29,519
Speaker 4: He faces better competition and we see him rise to

1990
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:33,600
Speaker 4: the occasion. I love that, but he's going against a

1991
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 4: guy and Hamzat Chimayev who has come on the scene

1992
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 4: similar to econom Er Gregor, where there's.

1993
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:42,000
Speaker 9: An energy around his fights.

1994
01:35:42,160 --> 01:35:43,240
Speaker 7: It's just different.

1995
01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 4: I think Ilio Tuporia kind of has that as well now,

1996
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:49,880
Speaker 4: but I think Hamzad kind of had that on fight one.

1997
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:52,080
Speaker 9: You're just like, what what am I watching? Who is

1998
01:35:52,160 --> 01:35:52,519
Speaker 9: this guy?

1999
01:35:52,600 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 4: What is what kind of athlete is this dude? So

2000
01:35:56,080 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 4: I think he could absolutely be a superstar with this.

2001
01:36:00,280 --> 01:36:04,040
Speaker 4: I think he's almost there already without it. But he

2002
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:07,040
Speaker 4: has an offensive firepower that is going to be really

2003
01:36:07,160 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 4: difficult to beat. How is chimayav defensively, though, I'm not

2004
01:36:11,880 --> 01:36:15,000
Speaker 4: sure we really really know. It could be that he's

2005
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:17,080
Speaker 4: just that good. It could be that his wrestling is

2006
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,839
Speaker 4: head and shoulders above every single person in that division,

2007
01:36:20,120 --> 01:36:22,479
Speaker 4: and he's gonna make it look easy against every person

2008
01:36:22,479 --> 01:36:26,120
Speaker 4: in that division. I don't think DDP is an easy fight, though,

2009
01:36:26,240 --> 01:36:29,320
Speaker 4: And while Chimayev absolutely can win this fight, I think

2010
01:36:29,360 --> 01:36:31,000
Speaker 4: he can win it early. I think he can win

2011
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:32,400
Speaker 4: in the middle of the fight, and I can I

2012
01:36:32,439 --> 01:36:33,439
Speaker 4: think he can win it at the.

2013
01:36:33,560 --> 01:36:34,120
Speaker 7: End of the fight.

2014
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:38,000
Speaker 9: But you can't doubt someone like DDP.

2015
01:36:38,479 --> 01:36:41,920
Speaker 4: I think they are truly built different down in South Africa,

2016
01:36:42,200 --> 01:36:45,639
Speaker 4: just they're used to adversity. They have a quiet strength

2017
01:36:45,720 --> 01:36:49,960
Speaker 4: and confidence about them. And I think DDP says it

2018
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:52,400
Speaker 4: best about his style. He's not the best at striking,

2019
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,559
Speaker 4: he's not the best at submissions, he's not the best

2020
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 4: at wrestling, but he may be the best at MMA,

2021
01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 4: and right now I'm gonna favor him. I think his size,

2022
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 4: his durability are going to be the X factors here.

2023
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:08,400
Speaker 4: But Chimayav with his explosiveness, his speed, his athleticism and

2024
01:37:08,479 --> 01:37:11,400
Speaker 4: of course his uh what I think is a superior

2025
01:37:11,479 --> 01:37:14,200
Speaker 4: skill set, is going to be a lot for DDPD handle.

2026
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:17,799
Speaker 9: But I got to go with the truly proven commodity

2027
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:19,519
Speaker 9: here in Drinks du plus C.

2028
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 4: But either way, I think it's going to be a

2029
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 4: banger of a fight.

2030
01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:24,479
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, nicely handled, gentlemen.

2031
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,120
Speaker 8: Drinks DUP plus is plus one eighty five right now

2032
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:28,560
Speaker 8: on DraftKings Sportsbook.

2033
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 5: And that brings us to our final act, just a

2034
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:32,880
Speaker 5: few days out before UFC three nineteen.

2035

Speaker 8: standings quickly. Team Florian was north of sixteen hundred dollars

2040
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:49,800

2041
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:52,000
Speaker 8: to Lindzey, but your five hundred dollars bet on Yasmin

Speaker 8: whole one thousand dollars stack on Angela Hill. We like

2046
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:07,320
Speaker 8: the conviction, but came up short there. So yeah, you're

2047
01:38:08,320 --> 01:38:10,599
Speaker 8: your number is very red, Brian. But the good news

2048
01:38:10,680 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 8: is you have three thousand dollars SUSPENDEDFC three nineteen.

2049
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:14,400

2050
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:17,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I was thinking about getting really exotic.

2051
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:20,599
Speaker 12: I'm gonna do a little more exotic stuff than when

2052
01:38:20,600 --> 01:38:21,320
Speaker 12: I'm comfortable with.

2053
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:22,960
Speaker 7: But let me just get the bare bones out of

2054
01:38:22,960 --> 01:38:23,160

Speaker 12: Let's have a good time people, all right.

2099
01:40:28,000 --> 01:40:29,920
Speaker 8: Look forward to seeing you there. Big on Brian pat

2100
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:33,760
Speaker 8: with us on the Anakinforming podcast. Yeah, maybe we can

2101
01:40:33,840 --> 01:40:36,120
Speaker 8: somehow peel Jay out of Blaal's as for a couple

2102
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:38,479
Speaker 8: of minutes too to stay hello. It is interesting, right

2103
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:41,959
Speaker 8: because my friendship with Blah Muhammad is well documented.

2104
01:40:42,040 --> 01:40:42,120
Speaker 6: Right.

2105
01:40:42,160 --> 01:40:44,719
Speaker 5: But when we have Balalama's program, as we often.

2106
01:40:44,560 --> 01:40:47,800
Speaker 8: Do, and you know this, I asked him, like, why

2107
01:40:47,840 --> 01:40:50,320
Speaker 8: would you say Drake is due plus the sucks when

2108
01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:52,519
Speaker 8: you know that's not founded in truth or whatever.

2109
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:54,200
Speaker 5: And Blaal responded in tide, right.

2110
01:40:54,240 --> 01:40:56,400
Speaker 8: But it's not as though when BALaw comes on here,

2111
01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:58,320
Speaker 8: I don't challenge him and when Dracus comes out and

2112
01:40:58,400 --> 01:41:00,639
Speaker 8: says how much he hates Balal. A lot of it's

2113
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,640
Speaker 8: rooted in the fact that Blile shouldn't have said like

2114
01:41:02,720 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 8: DDP sucks when he's not on the.

2115
01:41:05,240 --> 01:41:08,120
Speaker 5: UFC and has literally legend after legend in his way.
