Ken Flow, you have 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:41.080 been on a little bit of a whirlwind. You were 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:44.800 in Las Vegas, I believe for the Bitcoin conference, some 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.800 robot fighting courtesy of BattleBots as well. It seemed like 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.200 a busy weekend for you. Are you you're back in 0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.120 North Carolina? Red eye last night or no? 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:57.120 Yes, red eye? Red Eye? I got in. It was 0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.639 delayed as well, so we got off a little late start. 0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.880 God here around six am. I probably have about four 0:02:03.880 --> 0:02:06.560 hours of sleep something like that. So please forgive me 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.280 if I'm a little little brain dead. But right here 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.880 we are. I was away from home for like ten days, dude, 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.120 I didn't know what to guys. So, oh you were 0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:16.480 out there that long? Yeah, I was there for a while. 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:18.799 Have a reunion with the kids this morning or you're 0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.200 sleeping with that? I did? Yeah this morning? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.120 that was probably good. 0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:23.000 Yeah. Yeah. 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:25.320 My daughter was there to greet me. Everyone else was sleeping. 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:29.240 She's like got out of bed. Yeah on half a 0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:30.040 month at least. 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.400 You guys out of bed, Well, welcome home, and uh, 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.200 we know you got a lot of busy things coming 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.120 up which we will get to uh next week. But 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.000 it is Monday, May fourth. It is UFC three twenty 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:40.680 eight fight week. 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:41.320 RJ. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.560 Clifford was in Perth covering UFC fight Night and he 0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.000 did not make it back to the States in time 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:47.440 for the show. 0:02:47.520 --> 0:02:51.239 His flight was canceled. R drunk is what happened? I think, Yes, 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:52.720 he's still drunk somewhere. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.079 Yeah, his blood alcohol level is very high right now 0:02:56.120 --> 0:02:58.120 in Sydney to South South Wales, Australia. 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.720 As such, he couldn't join us for the program. 0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:02.120 But Jason Anna coming up here in about ten minutes, 0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.040 Ray Longo coming up in about a half an hour, 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:08.119 and the Great Yanni the Greek has five UFC three 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:11.000 twenty eight main card selections as well as your bets 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.280 after a big week for a UFC fight night, Della 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:17.560 Maddelena versus protests. So to that end, let's get to 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.680 heads headlines. 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.519 It's time for headlines. I have some Barry urgent and 0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:29.000 important breaking new headlines and Kenny Sans contest. 0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:33.840 You know, the guy I don't like is the I 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.680 told you so guy, And we try not to be 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:42.000 the I Told you so show. But We only call 0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:44.200 it like our eyes see it. You put your entire 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.280 thousand dollars on Carlos protests to beat Jack Dela Mattelane. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.000 He could have been on any fight on the cards, 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:51.760 so we acknowledge your wager there, right. But what we 0:03:51.840 --> 0:03:53.960 have been saying, or I've been saying on this podcast 0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.800 for a long time or at least dating to before 0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:01.040 the Jeff Neil result, is best of luck to the 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.560 elite welterweights surviving twenty five minutes minutes under all the 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:08.400 martial arts and weaponry that Carlos Protest bit brings to 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.360 the table, and Islamikasha may be the guy, but Jack 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:15.320 Dela Madelena was not the guy. And once again Carlos 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:19.440 Protest is able to knock out an elite welterweight contender, 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:23.600 this time a former undisputed UFC welterweight champion and in 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.600 all likelihood when the rankings come out later today, Carlos 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:28.600 protests the Nightmare going to be number two or number 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.919 one in the world and likely going to fight for 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.400 the title and the not too distant future, all hail 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:33.360 the Nightmare. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:39.279 Carlos protests, what a performance John Imy talk about getting 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:45.000 it done in enemy territory against another highly skilled striker 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:48.760 in Jack Dela Madelena. That is not an easy task, 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:52.760 and to make it look easy to me shows a 0:04:52.880 --> 0:04:56.000 level of mastery, right that. The masters are the guys 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.600 that do all the little things so well that they 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.520 make it look natural. They make it look easy. And 0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:07.680 Carlos Protests made it look easy, and the variety of strikes, 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:11.640 the pressure even when he was going backwards. He is 0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:17.279 a freaking problem. Again. Good luck dealing with that guy 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:21.400 because there's no ability to predict those patterns. He's throwing 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.480 so much at you, with so much ferocity and mal intent. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:29.080 It's just what I don't I don't have anything else 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.080 to say. Like I knew it was gonna be a 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.080 tough fight for Jack, but to do it like that, John. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:37.280 Bro come on all violence all the time, the way 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.880 he attacks your legs, the body, the bounce in his step. 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:43.120 I thought Jack Della got off to a pretty good start, 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.320 at least in terms of octagon control. 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.200 Backing Protests up a little bit. Yes, he needed to 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.520 do that exactly, and he needed to back him up. 0:05:51.560 --> 0:05:53.760 I think that was his best bet. You don't let 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:58.000 a six foot three beast with all of those weapons. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.159 Back you up, and I Jack at least attempted to 0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:03.400 be the aggressor, which I thought was his best bet. 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.520 He got off to a good start, like you said, 0:06:05.720 --> 0:06:09.760 he was landing some good shots. But Carlos, he's he's 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:13.440 so comfortable on the feet now, John, he's just gotten better. 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.560 And again, first of all, this isn't about Ian Gary. 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:19.640 But first I think a lot of people got their 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.200 eyes open to how good Ian Gary is. To diffuse 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:25.320 that level of pressure, you need an unbelievable jab. You 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:27.720 need to be tall yourself like Ian Gary, but more 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:29.920 than anything else, you need phenomenal footwork. So I think 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.640 Ian Garry's coming out of this looking very good. But yeah, 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:39.120 I mean, there's just it's so difficult to deal with 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:40.560 someone like Carlos Protestman. 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.240 I wouldn't be surprised if he would be a betting 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.800 favorite in a rematch with Ian mashade o' Gary. Right, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.320 there were some circumstances surrounding that first fight between those two. 0:06:49.440 --> 0:06:52.599 He was Yes, he's improved, right, that's really lead. But 0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:55.240 he was training for Jeff Neil, I believe, and the 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:57.280 fight got moved. If I'm not mistaken and then he 0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.040 fight fight fights in Kansas City over five rounds. But 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:02.920 you know, when you start to think about how some 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:05.839 of these other elite Weltsway contenders would fare against the 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.520 uber tough Jack Della Mattelena, I still think the answer 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:11.920 is not. Well, Like, I still think Jack is going 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.200 to be a problem for a lot of these guys. 0:07:13.240 --> 0:07:16.880 And look what Carlos Protest was able to do on 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.720 the weekend. And every time I see this guy fight, 0:07:19.800 --> 0:07:23.160 I remember the Jeff Neil fight and just thinking, man like, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.560 how do you survive? I mean, these are credentialed opponents 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:30.160 and the brutalization you know, has Joe Rogan texted me 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:33.600 in DC like dude, like this dude is a significant 0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:37.239 problem for everybody south of Makasha at the very least. 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.520 Yeah, man, I mean he's he's got a monopoly on 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:43.320 violence in the UFC, I think in the welt Away Division, 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:48.360 and he he came out looking so good, man Like. 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.280 That's how you maximize that opportunity, right, I mean, the 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.120 welts Way Division is as stacked as it's been and 0:07:57.760 --> 0:08:01.360 obviously a ton of talent there. But if there's one 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:03.400 guy who's able to skip the line at this point. 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:07.480 It's Carlos Protest. He stayed busy. He's showing a variety 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.360 of tools. He is proving that he is out there 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.680 to both entertain and destroy, and that is not a 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.720 difficult thing. A lot of guys who want to do that, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.239 but they don't have that level of consistency like Carlos Proctest, 0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.880 and to do that against elite competition, a former champion, 0:08:23.480 --> 0:08:26.160 Carlos is the real deal man. I don't think I 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.560 was on that train. Maybe I gone on the Carlos 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.520 Proctest train about three fights ago or something like that, 0:08:31.560 --> 0:08:33.280 a little bit late. Like a lot of people were 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:35.520 all over it. It took me a little while to 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.040 come around. But what a problem. 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:40.160 Well, you've been on the Shadow Gary train of the 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:45.000 Iliatoputia train. I mean, how many fucking you can only 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:47.760 get so many tickets. I was a little bit surprised 0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.880 that they led the walkout talking cigarettes, which I think 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:52.800 is so tired at this point in time. Not only 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:56.960 is nicotine a perpetually misunderstood drug, but we need the 0:08:57.040 --> 0:09:01.920 narrative on Carlos Protest to be the martial artist, his 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:05.840 entire life's body of work, the fights in Thailand, the 0:09:05.960 --> 0:09:10.040 jiu jitsu competition, right, this guy's got hundreds upon hundreds 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:12.319 of fights in all of these different disciplines. You talk 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.600 about his relative comfortability on the feet, I mean he 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.440 he isn't drinking wine the night before celebrating the win 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.719 like Topoitia, but he acts as if the outcome is 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:25.400 an eventuality and he knows that he's going to eventually 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:26.959 find a shot and get you out of it. 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:30.520 Bravo, my friend. Yeah, I think that when you get 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:33.440 a guy who has been around the game for so long, 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.079 being a professional Muay Thai fighter, you know, living in Thailand, 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:41.240 traveling around the world, making no money, and now having 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:44.880 this opportunity with you know, the ability to make a 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.600 lot of money now for each and every fight, and 0:09:47.720 --> 0:09:50.120 to have the level of fame that he has it, 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.920 you know, And he said it. He's like, how can 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:55.400 I not go out there and just have a great 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.560 time now? He's like, before I had to fight and 0:09:57.600 --> 0:09:59.880 I was making no money. Now I just go out 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:04.920 to entertain and enjoy myself. And it shows. It shows, 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:09.000 And look at the difference between the fight against Ian 0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.880 Gary to where he's at now. He is absolutely a 0:10:11.920 --> 0:10:15.760 martial artist. A martial artist is dedicated to improving their skills, 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.439 being honest with themselves and going what do I need 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:20.960 to do to get that belt, or to beat that 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:22.800 next guy in front of me, or to be ready 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:25.640 for those other skills that maybe I haven't seen yet. 0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:29.240 Carlos protest is significantly better for the last time. What 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.640 did he work on his footwork? Something that a lot 0:10:31.679 --> 0:10:36.320 of people, even good strikers, don't like doing, those little 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:38.880 things that are monotonous that you got to do over 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:42.160 He is so impressive, man. 0:10:42.880 --> 0:10:47.080 He is a top ten superstar in the UFC. I 0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.920 don't know when he sort of got to that threshold. 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:53.680 The fan interest is absolutely off the charts, and I 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.480 just remember after the Jeff Neil fite thinking, you know, 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:58.600 this is exactly the type of guy that the UFC 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:01.040 would pay and build a round and really a guy 0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.439 who could be champion. And now he has left Leon 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:05.960 Edwards and Jack Dela mat Atlanta, two former un disputed 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:11.120 weltroeight champions, firmly in his wake. And you know, Islami Kashev, 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:14.839 I would think would be the elixir to protest his 0:11:14.960 --> 0:11:17.720 style write the ability to potentially take him down and 0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.760 keep him down. You talk about the ever evolving protests 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:22.400 and the improvements that he has made with the anti 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:26.680 grappling and the wrestling, but the Mikashev matchup is absolutely fascinating, 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:27.959 even if it's not next. 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:32.960 Yeah, one hundred percent. And what's interesting though, is that 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.280 it may have to force Islam Mahashev to be more 0:11:36.320 --> 0:11:39.559 of an upper body clinched guy. Now, Mahashev is phenomenal 0:11:39.679 --> 0:11:43.199 at that, thankfully for him, but I'm not sure a 0:11:43.200 --> 0:11:46.200 whole lot of guys, after looking at that performance against 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.600 Jack Dela mout Atalanta, with all those nasty knees that 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:51.839 were coming up the middle, are going I think it's 0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:53.560 a good idea to shoot a double leg from the 0:11:53.600 --> 0:11:58.319 outside against Carlos protests like that might be a suicide 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:00.920 mission to go in there and try to, you know, 0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.560 tackle those legs, those knees. That is one of the 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:08.640 most effective uses of knees that I have seen, maybe 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:11.320 maybe the most effective usage of knees that I've seen 0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:15.000 since Anderson Silva and and a variety of knees, not 0:12:15.080 --> 0:12:17.520 just from the klan truth from the tie plumb He's 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:20.960 throwing long knees from the outside muy tie style, and 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.040 typically you don't see a whole lot of guys have 0:12:23.120 --> 0:12:26.240 that level of success. He was crushing Jack to the body. 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.640 He was crushing Jack upstairs to the head like and 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:30.840 being six foot three. 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.600 My goodness, right listed six to one on Wikipedia. I 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.280 just checked. But yeah, six three. I don't know what 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:38.960 the he's six, Yeah, I don't, But yeah, he's not 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.640 talk about the you know, the the tie fights and 0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:43.920 not the Marlborough mediums. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:44.520 You know what I mean. 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.200 But Jeff Neil, Leon Edwards, Jack Dela Matalana now all 0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:53.800 by knockout or TKO and if Nasordini Mavov can get 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.520 passed over for Sean Strickland because you had to make 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.520 Chimaya versus Strickland, don't think for a second that you 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.240 couldn't while the iron is hot and go Makasha versus Protest. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.199 Now Carlos has put over Ian Mashado, Gary as has 0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:07.600 the Anakin Florian podcast. I'm not trying to sort of 0:13:07.640 --> 0:13:10.800 start a narrative. I'm merely saying with the Middleway Championship fight, 0:13:10.840 --> 0:13:14.200 we have beckoning this weekend in the Brick City, Stranger 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:15.960 things have happened. And if you don't think that they 0:13:15.960 --> 0:13:20.280 would like to expedite Protests into a championship fight based 0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:22.199 upon what we have seen recently, you're crazy. 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:25.600 So I agree. I think he could be in that slot. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:28.080 And you know, we've seen a lot of fighters over 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:30.640 the years in big fights, you know, not get that 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:33.400 opportunity because they got injured or something breaks down as 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.679 far as contracts or whatever. I do think Ian Gary 0:13:36.720 --> 0:13:40.240 deserves that. I think that's what you're saying as well. Yeah, 0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:42.880 I Ian Gary poses his own problems because of that 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.079 phenomenal fork and that long jab and those long weapons 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:50.560 similar to Carlos Protests. But I think Carlos Protest is 0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:53.400 the more potent striker. I think everyone would agree with that. 0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:58.080 His shots are designed to kill. You know, Ian Gary's 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:01.560 shots are kind of more designed to cut and frustrate. Yeah, 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.480 I'm still a problem in his own right, but those 0:14:04.520 --> 0:14:06.320 are all great problems for the UFC to have. 0:14:06.400 --> 0:14:06.640 Right now. 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.839 Three number one contenders, Michael Moralesy and the Shadow Morale process. 0:14:11.840 --> 0:14:14.360 All indications are Ian Theshadow Gary is going to be next. 0:14:14.400 --> 0:14:17.080 But you fight, you win like that you at least 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:21.400 potentially reopen the conversation.

So how to 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.720 tell us you're almost fifty without telling us you're a fifty? 0:15:37.800 --> 0:15:40.800 Right? What the fuck is that? 0:15:42.120 --> 0:15:42.200 So? 0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:43.280 Right? 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:45.280 So everybody's asking me in the pre show meeting, what 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.080 do you do to your risk? And the answer is, 0:15:47.120 --> 0:15:50.120 I'm almost forty eight. I don't know. I just woke 0:15:50.240 --> 0:15:53.440 up in my hand and wrist. We're swollen on Sunday. 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:56.640 Can't put any pressure on it whatsoever. And we got 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:05.040 to Mahomes golf tournament in like eleven days. So have 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:08.720 you talked about the party party, Josh? Sorry, flow titterrupt yet? 0:16:09.880 --> 0:16:11.520 Have you talked about the party at your house from 0:16:11.600 --> 0:16:12.520 last Saturday night at all? 0:16:12.600 --> 0:16:13.920 Yet? Jo? So? 0:16:14.640 --> 0:16:15.680 No, thank you, Jay. 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:20.040 So we did, probably against our better judgment, have a 0:16:20.200 --> 0:16:23.040 party for my daughter Riley, who was a freshman in 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.240 high school. And I did get a text from Kenny Florian. 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:30.920 I'm trying to find it here. Not that I'm that popular, 0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:33.560 but I got a small world though, Kenny Florian says. 0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:36.280 My buddy text me. This was ten thirty two pm Saturday. 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:38.080 My buddy text me, I just picked up my daughter 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:40.840 from a party at john Annex house. I guess he said, 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:47.840 prominent lawyer. Uh for Spotify or so but so yeah. 0:16:47.920 --> 0:16:50.320 So we had the party. We had a list of 0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:54.160 fifty kids and three hundred kids basically showed up by 0:16:54.200 --> 0:16:57.560 eight forty five pm. It was absolutely insane. The lowest 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:02.760 moment was mewing a bunch of glass off the main 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:07.000 road because some of the kids, presumably from a different 0:17:07.040 --> 0:17:11.919 school Brunswick, broke a bunch of glass in the middle 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:13.960 of the street. So I'm sweeping that up, you know. 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.640 Simultaneously kids are like, can I get a photo? I'm like, oh, 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:18.560 this will be fucking memorable, as up holding the room. 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:23.800 What it was crazy, I'm asking And the cops were 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.439 there within fifteen minute. Shout out to the Granwich Police Department. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.760 They were absolutely outstanding. Well, a lot of crime in 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:33.560 that area, necessarily, but it is interesting and we have 0:17:33.640 --> 0:17:36.240 the greatest security team in the world, the UFC security team, 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.560 but playing security for a night. And I guess I'll 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:41.959 just share one quick anecdote since Jay brought it up. 0:17:42.040 --> 0:17:46.560 So my wife at one point is navigating the list 0:17:46.800 --> 0:17:49.200 and she says, wait, what's your name? And I guess 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:51.720 by accident, she put like the flashlight in some kid's 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:55.199 face and he's like, oh that light. She's like, all right, 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:57.200 get out of here, and I'm like, well, I didn't 0:17:57.240 --> 0:17:57.720 see that. 0:17:57.800 --> 0:17:57.960 You know. 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:00.120 It's like, oh, the light's bothering you. 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.879 Get the fuck up the property. After a while, it's like, 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.320 you all got cell phones, you can call an uber. 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.320 That part of it actually became sort of fun. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:09.520 You know. 0:18:09.600 --> 0:18:12.399 I got the lacest tied, wondering if like five or 0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.119 six of these kids might jump me at any point. 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:16.080 Yeah. 0:18:16.119 --> 0:18:18.639 I don't want to say too much, but we knew, 0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:21.080 not on like buying a family dog, that this was 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.200 something that we were gonna have to do once. Right, 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.080 she asked at Halloween, and we delayed until now it's 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:31.320 never fucking happening again. Her younger siblings to never get 0:18:31.320 --> 0:18:34.959 a house party. My basement smells like Theta Chi fraternity. 0:18:35.000 --> 0:18:39.000 The smell may never go away and uh, it was 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:42.400 complete and utter pandemonium and madness. When the cops first came, 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.960 I'm run into the backyard trying to get everybody inside 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:47.399 to control you know, the noise. I slip and fall. 0:18:47.440 --> 0:18:49.320 Maybe that's how I hurt my wrist. I'm just thinking 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.120 of that now. My son Hunter is in a full 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:55.040 suit with something that says security. He has a piece 0:18:55.040 --> 0:18:58.359 of paper in his jacket that says like you're kicked out. 0:18:58.560 --> 0:19:04.000 You know, it was so good it was, and here 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.840 we are. So if I might touch on Carlos protests, right, 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:09.640 you know, it's like when the tail of the tape 0:19:09.680 --> 0:19:12.520 actually does matter, right, regardless of what the numbers are. 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:14.600 It's like the reach right, It's like they look like 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:16.880 two different dudes in there. And you've said all there 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:18.920 is to be said about protests. The only thing I 0:19:18.960 --> 0:19:21.560 would say is Ian Gary has punched that ticket in 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:23.959 a way maybe that I think, No, Sardinia Mavov hasn't. 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:25.080 In terms of that conversation. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:25.760 If you've given me. 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:28.720 Where my opinion, regardless of whether or not Carlos protest 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:30.640 at this stage is better. And I love Ken Flow 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.320 talking about the improvement the evolution of these fighters, because 0:19:33.320 --> 0:19:35.159 you do see a lot of guys get better and 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.680 better and better. But Jack Dela Madalena, right, doesn't seem 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.879 to be operating in that confident place he was when 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.560 he beat Alamuhammad for the championship, right. And if you 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.280 don't think that fight against Islam Mahashev took a little 0:19:46.280 --> 0:19:48.879 bit of that confidence, I just didn't see it from Jack. 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.560 I'm not necessarily saying that there were many paths to victory, 0:19:52.960 --> 0:19:55.359 but I didn't see a confident Jack Dela Matdelena. And 0:19:55.400 --> 0:19:57.480 when you guys talk about the I hate the phrase 0:19:57.520 --> 0:19:59.960 sort of pressure as a privilege, but you truly believe 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:02.639 protest when he talks about what he came from and 0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:05.200 where he's at now, kind of playing with house money, 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.360 and yeah, gosh, I just it really, you. 0:20:07.280 --> 0:20:09.119 Know, you don't think some middleweights we'd have some problems 0:20:09.160 --> 0:20:12.760 with that guy. Yeah, No, for sure, he's fighting in 0:20:12.800 --> 0:20:16.200 the octagon like that's his backyard, like that's his home. Yeah. 0:20:16.240 --> 0:20:19.040 So like, yeah, there's there's the aspect of having the 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:21.760 skills to perform at the elite level. There's you know, 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:25.160 having the natural athletic ability size what he's got that 0:20:25.760 --> 0:20:29.000 and now he's comfortable in there, and he's got experience, 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.760 and he's got momentum, like, good luck beating that guy. 0:20:33.000 --> 0:20:35.280 Well, you know, and I said on a show earlier 0:20:35.280 --> 0:20:37.000 to take you know, I remember a point where Balam 0:20:37.000 --> 0:20:39.720 Mohammed Wi Octagon side and Carlos Protest came over and 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:41.639 started running his mouth a couple of years ago, and 0:20:41.680 --> 0:20:43.399 at that point I was like, all right, billaw you 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:46.080 take care of this guy. And without no disrespect to Ballah, 0:20:46.080 --> 0:20:49.320 but it's a whole different conversation nowadays. And you know, John, 0:20:49.320 --> 0:20:51.840 you talk about the two year setback. I understand JDM 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:54.679 twenty nine years old, but quite a gauntlet, you know. 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:57.280 I certainly think that he can continue to improve, but 0:20:57.400 --> 0:21:00.440 as Floria and You've talked about improvements, not him over 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:02.400 the years, and I love it, and it truly is 0:21:02.840 --> 0:21:05.199 in the elite, in the elite of the elite, you 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.959 gotta keep getting better or you will be left if 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.840 Baha difficult to Gabriel bon Fieme on June sixth, I 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:13.840 think you run it back with three named Jack and 0:21:13.920 --> 0:21:16.240 Balal and you rematch one of the best fights of 0:21:16.400 --> 0:21:19.080 that year, and it just goes to show you, though, 0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.720 man right, like Now you have these two former champions 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.440 right in Blah Mohammed and Jack Dela Madelena, who have 0:21:24.480 --> 0:21:26.320 both lost two fights in a row. We have at 0:21:26.400 --> 0:21:29.960 least three number one contenders in the UFC's welterweight division, 0:21:30.160 --> 0:21:32.600 and how many guys like Carlos Protest doesn't give a 0:21:32.640 --> 0:21:35.680 monokam of a fuck. He will knock out Jeff Neil, 0:21:36.000 --> 0:21:38.240 knockout Leon Edwards, and then he will fly all the 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.040 way to the end of the earth in Perth to 0:21:41.119 --> 0:21:45.480 face Jack Dela Madelena in the farthest place on the 0:21:45.480 --> 0:21:48.480 spinning earth that he can go bring forty people and say, well, 0:21:48.680 --> 0:21:51.400 you know, in sort of a dead pinned Brazilian type 0:21:51.400 --> 0:21:53.800 of way like Kenny, you could say it for us, right, like, 0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:55.280 how am I suppose I can't lose? 0:21:55.320 --> 0:21:58.840 I flew forty people this far. It's just and he 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:03.040 means it, he man, and Jason, I think you're spot 0:22:03.080 --> 0:22:06.399 on with his approach and how he feels like he 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.080 is playing with house money now and he's he's a 0:22:10.119 --> 0:22:13.119 special dude, man, And I just like everything about what 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:17.399 he's saying, what he's doing, and the UFC has a 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:19.480 star in that guy. There's no question about that I 0:22:19.480 --> 0:22:21.560 mean that Kenny have been the case, but this is 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:22.440 even that much better. 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.320 Kenny had a great tweet about Islam Mahashev, you know, 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.760 sort of being to your point, the elixir perhaps for 0:22:27.840 --> 0:22:31.480 Carlos protest right. And perhaps that fight isn't conducted on 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:33.960 the feet, if you will, if Islam gets that opportunity 0:22:34.040 --> 0:22:36.879 or that fight happens, but certainly Protess is going to 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:39.040 continue to be able to work, and perhaps that big 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:41.600 frame potentially can get up off the canvas in a 0:22:41.600 --> 0:22:43.359 way that Jack Dela Madelena couldn't. 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:45.359 But earlier this. 0:22:45.320 --> 0:22:48.480 Year, right as the UFC dare we say, was you know, 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:51.000 maybe having some rough weeks or whatever, But yeah, the 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:54.480 worldwide leader continues all of a sudden, as we sit 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:57.480 here in May to just have all sorts of matchups 0:22:57.520 --> 0:23:00.879 and be all sorts of stars to sort of pluck from. 0:23:01.080 --> 0:23:02.920 Yeah, yeah, go ahead. 0:23:02.920 --> 0:23:03.160 Flow. 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:05.560 The other thing I was going to say in regards 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:07.640 to that, you know, when they eventually they do fight, 0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:11.040 because I do think they will fight eventually. I think 0:23:11.520 --> 0:23:15.680 with all the weapons that he throws, if Islam's able 0:23:15.720 --> 0:23:17.560 to get to the clancher, get to his legs, yeah 0:23:17.920 --> 0:23:21.680 he's gonna do what he does. But all of those 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.440 variety of weapons, it's like stepping on a mind. It's 0:23:24.480 --> 0:23:27.120 like walking in a mind with everything that he's throwing down. 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.320 I mean, it's not going to be easy. And if 0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:32.240 there's one guy who can catch Islam on the way in, 0:23:33.320 --> 0:23:35.440 you know, I know we have this conversation before John 0:23:35.440 --> 0:23:37.400 who would be the guy that would finish it? Who's 0:23:37.400 --> 0:23:39.040 the guy that I would put money on right now? 0:23:39.320 --> 0:23:40.320 Carlos Protess? 0:23:41.080 --> 0:23:43.800 It's just crazy, right, Yes, if you ask that question 0:23:43.880 --> 0:23:46.560 and revisit that question, if you had to send one 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:48.840 welterweight in there right now to you know, save a 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.280 hamster's life, or you send in Michael Morales, you send 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.320 in Carlos Protest? Who you send it in there? But 0:23:54.000 --> 0:23:56.160 sometimes I like to be a fan and just sort 0:23:56.160 --> 0:23:58.000 of be like, dude, best of LUCKX survivement twenty five 0:23:58.040 --> 0:24:01.040 minutes with all of that strapping come in your way 0:24:01.520 --> 0:24:05.000 and yeah, yeah, well no, And when Kenny talks about 0:24:05.040 --> 0:24:07.240 Protest being the best version of himself, we all know 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:09.439 how married to the game, Ian Gary is better and 0:24:09.480 --> 0:24:12.880 better every time out and going all around the globe 0:24:12.960 --> 0:24:16.080 to sort of find different opportunities to train or whatever. 0:24:16.680 --> 0:24:18.399 I don't want to transition too much, but I have 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.080 to shout out Steve Ver sig right, you know, because 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:22.719 I was really impressed with that performance and a guy 0:24:22.720 --> 0:24:24.680 who perhaps got a title shot maybe a little bit 0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:27.720 too early, perhaps, you know, Elliott maybe wins that first 0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:30.720 round and then Steve Ver six proves there's levels to 0:24:30.760 --> 0:24:32.280 this shit, you know, And I like how he put 0:24:32.359 --> 0:24:34.639 himself back on the map, maybe even after losing that 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:36.680 first round, some nice combinations. I like what I saw 0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:39.480 out of him. Just want to shout out. It is 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:43.960 interesting because as competitive as he was against all Chanre 0:24:44.119 --> 0:24:47.800 Pantosa and the fight was there for the taking. I actually, 0:24:48.800 --> 0:24:51.080 after calling it, thought that he had won the fight. 0:24:51.119 --> 0:24:53.680 But that, Kenny doesn't necessarily mean you're ready, even if 0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:55.760 you fight the champion tooth and nail. There's a lot 0:24:55.800 --> 0:24:58.199 of different factors, factors on the Pantosia side. And now 0:24:58.240 --> 0:25:01.320 you see the physical maturation, the added muscle mass. He 0:25:01.440 --> 0:25:03.800 just looks like a championship level fighter to me. 0:25:04.280 --> 0:25:06.600 One hundred percent. And you know, we were talking a 0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:10.200 little bit earlier about potential declines of fighters coming off 0:25:10.200 --> 0:25:13.639 of title fights or being a champion sometimes getting to 0:25:13.640 --> 0:25:16.119 the top of that mountain, and we see a lot 0:25:16.160 --> 0:25:19.440 of guys slide down that mountain quite quickly and never 0:25:20.040 --> 0:25:24.280 never being able to recover. And for Ersag, I thought 0:25:24.400 --> 0:25:28.360 that was also a very tough matchup going against Elliott. 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:32.159 You know, Tim Elliott is so awkward and unorthodox, you know, 0:25:32.320 --> 0:25:35.160 and he can give so many guys problems. I didn't 0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:37.399 love that matchup for er if I'm being honest, especially 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:39.800 given maybe a little bit of his struggles that he's 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.280 had and to come back like that, Jay, Yeah, I 0:25:42.359 --> 0:25:46.679 was thoroughly impressed, making the right adjustments, fighting like a veteran, 0:25:46.760 --> 0:25:50.000 fighting like he feels like he belongs there in his elite. 0:25:50.359 --> 0:25:53.000 So that that was a huge win. Yeah, tough guy 0:25:53.160 --> 0:25:55.560 against whom to look good. I did think he won 0:25:55.600 --> 0:25:57.800 all three rounds, but the judges had a twenty nine 0:25:57.800 --> 0:26:00.919 to twenty eight for Uh. For Steve Vers, What do 0:26:01.000 --> 0:26:05.840 you guys think of Quillan Salkill Banil Daryus Lands An 0:26:05.840 --> 0:26:09.479 early shot acknowledged by sal Kill dropped him a little bit, 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:13.119 maybe it was a jab, But this Quillan sal Kiale man, 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.120 he's got an entire nation behind him and he's maximizing 0:26:16.160 --> 0:26:17.200 these showcases Kenny. 0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:21.639 Yeah, this is another kid who's a problem, who's getting 0:26:21.680 --> 0:26:24.439 the right fights at the right time. I think that 0:26:24.600 --> 0:26:26.840 is huge too, because it's not like he's been in 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:29.720 the UFC a long time. But whoever is managing him 0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:33.959 coaching him, they're they're they're making the right choices as 0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:37.200 to who they're fighting and who they're fighting at certain times. 0:26:37.240 --> 0:26:40.960 And he looks great, and he's showing that he's diverse 0:26:41.359 --> 0:26:44.360 as a fighter as well, Like he's so good at 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:48.480 keeping the fight where he wants it and going against 0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:50.760 a guy like Banil daryush who's a high level Brazilian 0:26:50.800 --> 0:26:54.480 judsu black belt, and we've seen sel killed take the 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:56.000 fight to the ground, but he knew he's like, you 0:26:56.000 --> 0:26:57.840 know what, I'm not gonna be on my back against 0:26:57.880 --> 0:26:59.800 this guy. He had the wrestling show that he had 0:26:59.800 --> 0:27:02.240 to defensive resting to keep it on the feet. Was 0:27:02.280 --> 0:27:05.080 able to recover after getting kind of dropped there by 0:27:05.119 --> 0:27:09.040 that sneaky little hook from daryushan and came back even 0:27:09.080 --> 0:27:12.000 with all the pressure like Daryusha was legitimately tried to 0:27:12.119 --> 0:27:15.080 knock him out. Yeah, and he gets a little reckless, 0:27:15.119 --> 0:27:18.639 but sal Kild kept it together. Showed his composure, showed 0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.520 that he has superior skills on the feet as well. 0:27:21.560 --> 0:27:24.520 And man, that was a fun fight while it lasted. 0:27:24.560 --> 0:27:26.960 But salth Kilt's the real deal. Man. He's a guy 0:27:27.000 --> 0:27:28.679 that people are gonna have to watch for big for 0:27:28.720 --> 0:27:29.280 the division. 0:27:29.760 --> 0:27:32.880 Yeah yeah, Kenny, I want to ask you a question. 0:27:32.920 --> 0:27:35.159 You know, Jack Dela Madelena making that walk in his 0:27:35.280 --> 0:27:40.480 hometown in Perth, Western Australia. You know, I know, I 0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:42.639 get just sort of curious about that. I mean, I 0:27:42.800 --> 0:27:46.320 know there is some pressure there in your backyard going 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:48.520 against a dude like Carlow's fucking protest. 0:27:48.640 --> 0:27:54.080 No, absolutely, I mean again, I felt almost too comfortable 0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.360 fighting in Boston, Like I think one of my biggest 0:27:56.359 --> 0:27:59.080 mistakes was like staying at home. I didn't feel like 0:27:59.119 --> 0:28:00.560 I was in a fight week almost. 0:28:00.600 --> 0:28:00.800 You know. 0:28:00.840 --> 0:28:03.840 It was just really weird. And you have to put 0:28:03.880 --> 0:28:07.520 yourself in that in that place, and even as I'm 0:28:07.560 --> 0:28:10.000 you know, kind of doing competitive shooting and things like that, 0:28:10.080 --> 0:28:13.920 like you almost need to feel that pressure a little bit. However, 0:28:14.000 --> 0:28:16.399 you need to be able to control it. Pressure is 0:28:16.440 --> 0:28:18.800 a fire and it will either consume you or it 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:23.000 will fuel you. And I think for you know, Jack, 0:28:23.880 --> 0:28:27.240 it's tough. I think he came out in a pretty 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:32.000 good headspace. I think, yeah, everything, Yeah, but John, I mean, 0:28:32.200 --> 0:28:34.680 you go to different cities all over the all over 0:28:34.720 --> 0:28:37.639 the world, and I guarantee you there's someone asking you 0:28:37.680 --> 0:28:39.720 for tickets or bothering you about this, or bothering you 0:28:39.760 --> 0:28:42.640 for that. And for fighters you know doing that, there's 0:28:42.680 --> 0:28:44.959 a lot you gotta deal with in your hometown as well. 0:28:45.000 --> 0:28:47.320 I'm not saying it comes down to people bothering you 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.719 for tickets, but there's a lot that comes with that. 0:28:51.720 --> 0:28:54.720 And and people are constantly mentioning you know you fighting 0:28:54.720 --> 0:28:57.040 in your hometown and this that can get to you. 0:28:57.280 --> 0:29:00.240 And and for Jack, I think when you're face see 0:29:00.280 --> 0:29:02.720 a guy like Carlo's protest, who's as dangerous as he is, 0:29:02.800 --> 0:29:05.160 and now you're getting this striker and you're supposed to 0:29:05.200 --> 0:29:07.720 perform well where you're not afraid of being taken down, 0:29:08.280 --> 0:29:09.920 that can be a lot to deal with. 0:29:10.040 --> 0:29:10.200 Jay. 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:13.280 Yeah, I think it was more of the opponents than Perth. 0:29:13.360 --> 0:29:16.760 I mean, he fights too Brown and beat him in Perth. 0:29:16.800 --> 0:29:19.640 But yes, he did sort of oh, for lack of 0:29:19.720 --> 0:29:22.360 a better verb, Perth this main event he was rumored 0:29:22.400 --> 0:29:24.480 to be headlined against Shofcott rock Monov in a fight 0:29:24.520 --> 0:29:27.719 that didn't happen. But Jack, he didn't fight Leon, and sorry, Jay, 0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:28.680 I know you got somewhere to go. 0:29:28.720 --> 0:29:29.360 But he did good. 0:29:29.480 --> 0:29:32.520 He didn't fight Leon and he didn't fight Chofcot and 0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:35.040 the Muhammed matchup I thought was really good for him. 0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:37.560 And now we'll see the extent to which Jack can rebuild. 0:29:37.600 --> 0:29:40.080 He's certainly young enough to do it. No, I mean, 0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:42.600 I can't hold a candle to r J Clifford filling 0:29:42.640 --> 0:29:45.160 in for him today today rated RJ. But he probably 0:29:45.200 --> 0:29:48.000 would have brought up that beer snake in the crowd. 0:29:48.240 --> 0:29:50.600 I would think, did you guys see the beer snake 0:29:50.880 --> 0:29:51.560 in a crowd? 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:52.080 Oh? 0:29:52.200 --> 0:29:57.120 No, coup. I guess a beer snake is like beer cups? 0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.800 You know that are I mean this thing Cody'll find 0:29:59.840 --> 0:30:02.520 an image, but literally the beer snake of cups in Perth, 0:30:02.560 --> 0:30:05.479 Western Australia, I mean, top to bottom. It was a 0:30:05.520 --> 0:30:08.680 sight to behold and I want to shout out my 0:30:08.720 --> 0:30:10.120 guy Joe Martinez as. 0:30:10.040 --> 0:30:12.720 Oh my gosh, Joe. 0:30:12.440 --> 0:30:14.880 Martinez was on point too, but this was pretty fun 0:30:14.920 --> 0:30:17.560 to see in Perth, Western Australia. Maybe some sort of 0:30:17.560 --> 0:30:22.440 Guinness Record there. Yeah, if you are the audio only, 0:30:22.480 --> 0:30:26.200 we are showing this insane beer snake in the crowd 0:30:26.280 --> 0:30:30.280 at rac Arena. Thanks to the UFC on Paramount Plus 0:30:30.360 --> 0:30:33.520 for the footage there, Jay, What was it about Joe Martinez? 0:30:33.520 --> 0:30:34.960 I thought he was on point as well, just with 0:30:35.000 --> 0:30:37.120 all the accents.

Fine, fine, great, great, if you 0:33:36.600 --> 0:33:40.080 didn't like the first three, great, wonderful. 0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.080 Right, we're gonna ask about Carlos. 0:33:42.600 --> 0:33:47.560 So Carlin, I am just a UFC fan till the 0:33:47.680 --> 0:33:50.800 day I die, Right, And when I say on the 0:33:50.840 --> 0:33:52.880 show last week, like you know, best of luck to 0:33:52.920 --> 0:33:55.680 any of these welterweight surviving twenty five minutes underneath all 0:33:55.680 --> 0:33:58.800 of these violent weapons possessed by Carlos protests, it's not 0:33:58.880 --> 0:34:01.520 really predictive. It's it's really just me being a fan. 0:34:01.840 --> 0:34:05.880 And man, is this guy just not an absolute marvel 0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:06.360 to watch? 0:34:06.680 --> 0:34:10.480 Well, I'll tell you what a beautiful demonstration of just 0:34:10.719 --> 0:34:13.480 range and keeping a guy at the end of your punches. 0:34:13.640 --> 0:34:16.880 And I don't know, man, vicious knees up the middle. 0:34:17.000 --> 0:34:18.840 You know, I like the way he freezes your first 0:34:18.880 --> 0:34:22.080 and he throws the knees very calculated packing the legs. 0:34:23.239 --> 0:34:26.719 Standing up with this guy's a nightmare, one hundred percent proved. 0:34:26.800 --> 0:34:30.239 I mean, I think I did pick protest, but I 0:34:30.560 --> 0:34:32.560 thought it was more of a flip them fight, and 0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:34.680 it was anything got a flip them fight. You know, 0:34:34.760 --> 0:34:39.839 he just really ran through a really talented Jack Dela Modolene. 0:34:40.000 --> 0:34:43.400 And I mean the height that this guy has and 0:34:43.680 --> 0:34:46.319 the ability that he can use to keep you at 0:34:46.360 --> 0:34:49.880 the end of those punches pretty impressive. Man. That was 0:34:49.960 --> 0:34:56.560 a really, really impressive performance against a highly talented ex champion. Ray. 0:34:56.600 --> 0:34:58.239 You know, when I'm looking at the fight, I'm up 0:34:58.640 --> 0:35:02.920 oftentimes looking at it from the perspective of a fighter. Right, 0:35:02.960 --> 0:35:04.839 if I had to fight this guy, if I'm a coach, 0:35:05.000 --> 0:35:07.840 what do I do against this guy? This is the 0:35:07.960 --> 0:35:09.879 kind of guy that would keep you up at night, 0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:12.400 right as a coach, like trying to plan for what 0:35:12.680 --> 0:35:15.560 he brings to the octagon. Right, And he's even better 0:35:15.640 --> 0:35:17.879 than we saw him last time, Like he's constantly getting better. 0:35:18.480 --> 0:35:20.719 Yeah, yeah, it looks like his confidence is growing. And 0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.200 I think you're right, he is getting better. I Mean, 0:35:23.280 --> 0:35:26.840 the problem obviously is I mean, if you're a coach 0:35:27.719 --> 0:35:29.759 and you have a guy that can wrestle, that's gonna 0:35:29.760 --> 0:35:32.400 be the issue. It's almost like, you know this is 0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:35.839 but even those knees down the middle, Ray like, yeah, yeah, yeah, 0:35:35.880 --> 0:35:37.680 he's always gonna have a chance. And I tell you 0:35:37.880 --> 0:35:40.840 that the height is Bisbean's not a small guy. He 0:35:41.080 --> 0:35:43.480 was not I'm not saying towering over at Bisbee, but 0:35:43.520 --> 0:35:47.000 he was noticeably taller. And Bisban's I think he's a 0:35:47.040 --> 0:35:47.600 big dude. 0:35:47.800 --> 0:35:48.960 Yeah, it's a big dude. Yeah. 0:35:49.000 --> 0:35:51.080 And this guy's fighting at one seventy. He looks like 0:35:51.200 --> 0:35:54.840 he's got no problems. But I think Kenny, and I 0:35:54.960 --> 0:35:57.640 tell you, I mean, you can correct me if I'm wrong, 0:35:57.840 --> 0:36:02.040 But I mean the despair he's still between the striking 0:36:02.160 --> 0:36:04.440 and grappling is just so wide. I mean, look at 0:36:04.520 --> 0:36:08.960 Revvik's and gam right. I mean, and it's you think 0:36:09.320 --> 0:36:11.759 you think Islam's not putting this guy on his back 0:36:11.840 --> 0:36:14.000 and keeping him there. I mean, I highly doubt it. 0:36:14.800 --> 0:36:18.399 And it's a tough ma, it's a tough matchup. But unfortunately, 0:36:19.120 --> 0:36:21.759 we all really want to see the striking. I think 0:36:21.840 --> 0:36:24.239 I think that's even like the UFC's thing. But and 0:36:24.360 --> 0:36:26.600 this guy is your guy, but you match him with 0:36:26.680 --> 0:36:29.960 the wrong guy, I think it's gonna be a problem unfortunately, 0:36:29.960 --> 0:36:32.520 because I love watching him fight. I'm not I just 0:36:32.640 --> 0:36:35.400 don't get at this stage of the game. How they 0:36:35.440 --> 0:36:39.560 could be so much disparage at the top between guys, 0:36:39.640 --> 0:36:42.640 you know, even like what happened with the kid from 0:36:42.680 --> 0:36:47.719 South Africa. I mean, it's just you gotta, yeah, right, 0:36:47.840 --> 0:36:49.839 you gotta. You got a guy that's a bull, he's 0:36:49.920 --> 0:36:52.560 walking through people, he's but he's getting the job done, 0:36:53.120 --> 0:36:56.239 and then he's just it's not even a contest, like 0:36:56.360 --> 0:37:00.759 it's I don't know, I find it fascinating that people 0:37:00.840 --> 0:37:01.839 aren't bridging. 0:37:01.560 --> 0:37:04.840 That gap yet, Kenny, It is interesting, right, we do 0:37:05.000 --> 0:37:09.799 have these recent examples that are pretty telling in their dominance. 0:37:09.880 --> 0:37:14.719 Even if the rule set maybe favors the strikers, that 0:37:15.080 --> 0:37:18.520 Islami Kasha might be a minus five hundred favored against 0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:19.680 Carlo protests. 0:37:19.280 --> 0:37:21.120 Because the expectation as to what he'd be able to do. 0:37:21.320 --> 0:37:22.920 Ray is Lucky your dog's still alive? 0:37:23.520 --> 0:37:28.120 Yes, okay, So if you had to save Lucky's life, 0:37:28.400 --> 0:37:30.600 which welter weight would you send in there right now 0:37:30.640 --> 0:37:34.000 to beat Islami Kashev and Iliotopodia cannot be an answer 0:37:34.120 --> 0:37:35.400 because he's not a welter. 0:37:37.920 --> 0:37:41.239 I think right now with the look, I'm not I'm 0:37:41.320 --> 0:37:43.759 not following it as much as used to but I 0:37:43.840 --> 0:37:46.840 think Ian Gary is the guy here guy because I 0:37:46.920 --> 0:37:51.279 think he's he's, you know, a big one seventy. He's 0:37:51.360 --> 0:37:53.480 been saying for the last couple of years, if you're 0:37:53.520 --> 0:37:55.239 not wrestling, you know, you know what I mean, he's 0:37:55.280 --> 0:37:55.960 been saying. 0:37:55.760 --> 0:37:57.520 The right you can stick and move like you can 0:37:57.640 --> 0:37:58.200 make a move. 0:37:58.280 --> 0:38:00.640 I think that's why he gave Pratt tru because he 0:38:00.760 --> 0:38:04.239 was all over the place, and I think that's the 0:38:04.320 --> 0:38:05.000 guy right now. 0:38:05.440 --> 0:38:07.839 Yeah. So I don't know, Like, if I really had 0:38:07.880 --> 0:38:10.239 to save my dog's life, I might pull like a 0:38:10.320 --> 0:38:13.239 Joaquin Buckley wild card out there and just say, hey, dude, 0:38:13.400 --> 0:38:15.680 like you're trying to save my dog's life, if you 0:38:15.760 --> 0:38:17.960 please go balls to the wall and try to find 0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:22.400 a knockout shot, you know, unlike not unlike what happened 0:38:22.400 --> 0:38:25.600 to islamikashev way early on in his career. Courtesy of 0:38:25.640 --> 0:38:26.560 Adriano Martinz. 0:38:26.560 --> 0:38:27.000 You know what I mean? 0:38:27.080 --> 0:38:28.520 I mean, I don't know, but yeah, I think a 0:38:28.520 --> 0:38:30.480 lot of people woul say I'm a shadow garrier protests 0:38:30.680 --> 0:38:34.440 maybe Morales. It's a fascinating conversation. What feels the worst 0:38:34.520 --> 0:38:39.000 on Jack Dela Madelana physically after that type of brutalization, right. 0:38:39.040 --> 0:38:41.600 I mean, Kenny, I don't know if you even had 0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:43.760 a fight in which you absorbed that type of damage. 0:38:43.760 --> 0:38:45.359 I mean, I know jose Aldo kicked in the leg, 0:38:45.440 --> 0:38:48.959 but god, I mean, what other worldly toughness to stay 0:38:49.000 --> 0:38:49.160 in that. 0:38:49.480 --> 0:38:49.680 Yeah. 0:38:50.000 --> 0:38:53.600 So Jack is one of those guys who's extremely tough. Right, 0:38:53.640 --> 0:38:56.719 We've seen him in some really tough fights before. He's 0:38:56.880 --> 0:39:01.520 very stoic, he's very quiet. When I saw him wins 0:39:01.600 --> 0:39:04.400 in pain and open up his mouth every time he 0:39:04.480 --> 0:39:06.960 got kicked to the leg, that was unusual. And that's 0:39:07.000 --> 0:39:10.200 where I said, Now this Protest guy is different, Like 0:39:10.400 --> 0:39:14.560 he is out there to destroy. He's out there to 0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:18.680 decimate your legs, your body, your head, and he can 0:39:18.800 --> 0:39:21.760 do it with every freaking long limb in his body. 0:39:22.600 --> 0:39:26.200 Yeah you know what I mean? Like Ian Gary, Yeah, 0:39:26.239 --> 0:39:28.239 I think his footwork might be a little sharper. He's 0:39:28.239 --> 0:39:30.319 got a really sharp jab, maybe even in better job 0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:34.200 than Protest, But Protests jab is really good and the 0:39:34.360 --> 0:39:38.880 potency of his strikes ray Like he's for me. I 0:39:39.520 --> 0:39:43.040 might surpass him because I just think that those knees 0:39:43.080 --> 0:39:46.400 down the middle, everything he throws, if he touches Islam, 0:39:46.719 --> 0:39:49.560 it could be over like, I think he's that dangerous now, 0:39:49.880 --> 0:39:51.880 but if he gets taken down, he Islam's gonna be 0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:54.520 all over him. But I think he's more potent a 0:39:54.560 --> 0:39:57.240 striker than anyone in the well to eight division overall. 0:39:57.400 --> 0:40:02.400 Morales has crazy knockout power as well, but the variety 0:40:02.480 --> 0:40:05.520 of weapons, the versatility of protest, to me, is what 0:40:05.719 --> 0:40:06.239 stands out. 0:40:06.600 --> 0:40:09.640 And I think that's the fight to make Morales against protests, 0:40:09.680 --> 0:40:12.440 and the winner gets it deserves a title shot, you 0:40:12.480 --> 0:40:13.000 know what I mean. 0:40:13.120 --> 0:40:14.719 So if you don't want to see either of those 0:40:14.760 --> 0:40:18.080 guys lose, well that's that's the issue, man. 0:40:18.480 --> 0:40:21.000 But getting back to what hurts most on Jack Delama, 0:40:21.120 --> 0:40:23.439 latter might guess would be his ego at this point 0:40:23.480 --> 0:40:26.880 because he went from champion he lost to a wrestler. 0:40:27.480 --> 0:40:30.360 Now his first fight back, he lost to a striker, 0:40:30.480 --> 0:40:33.960 which is can't be going over good with him because 0:40:34.000 --> 0:40:36.560 that's a major problem now. So I don't know, But 0:40:37.080 --> 0:40:39.160 what a nice guy, you know, I met him once 0:40:39.280 --> 0:40:42.080 with his team. They're just good people and he's got 0:40:42.160 --> 0:40:43.640 to figure out a way to get back on the 0:40:43.719 --> 0:40:44.200 horse now. 0:40:45.160 --> 0:40:48.399 John, And your question, I think is an interesting one 0:40:48.520 --> 0:40:52.640 because typically you see guys at that level, at the 0:40:52.719 --> 0:40:55.319 elite level, sometimes it's just kind of one thing. It's 0:40:55.360 --> 0:40:58.160 a body shot, or it's like kicks and you know, 0:40:59.000 --> 0:41:03.360 protest hit him and hurt him everywhere. I think he 0:41:03.600 --> 0:41:07.319 sore everywhere even and that's where like as a fighter, 0:41:07.360 --> 0:41:10.320 you're going I need something to look at it to 0:41:10.400 --> 0:41:12.640 make me feel better. It's like I did these things 0:41:12.719 --> 0:41:15.840 that were good, yeah, and and that's gonna mess with 0:41:15.920 --> 0:41:19.839 the fighter's mental space after that one, because you're like, man, 0:41:19.920 --> 0:41:22.160 there's levels of the game, and that was not a 0:41:22.239 --> 0:41:24.759 good matchup. I can't really point to much that what 0:41:25.160 --> 0:41:25.520 went my. 0:41:25.600 --> 0:41:28.839 Way, right, I mean early round two, I'm looking at 0:41:28.880 --> 0:41:31.279 some of the camera angles and the right side of 0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:35.919 Dela Madelene's face was so swollen early on in this fight, 0:41:36.200 --> 0:41:38.040 the other side of the leg, the outside of the leg, 0:41:38.160 --> 0:41:40.320 the body, the arms from taking kicks, all of it. 0:41:40.480 --> 0:41:40.600 Right. 0:41:41.160 --> 0:41:44.640 So Ben Vickers scrappy mma in the corner of Jack, 0:41:44.680 --> 0:41:47.160 and he does a particularly good job. I think at times. 0:41:48.280 --> 0:41:50.239 Jack comes back to the corner after round two and 0:41:50.239 --> 0:41:52.279 he's like, ah, you can tell how much pain he is. 0:41:52.320 --> 0:41:54.200 The pain starting to set in a little bit, and 0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:57.040 Ben's like, no Ah, you know, like get back out there, 0:41:57.120 --> 0:41:59.959 and I did think he did everything in his power 0:42:00.239 --> 0:42:02.279 to try to center his guy, but Ray just way 0:42:02.560 --> 0:42:06.480 too much bone crushing violence coming the other way. 0:42:06.600 --> 0:42:07.560 Nothing you do about it. 0:42:08.040 --> 0:42:10.799 Hey, listen, man, I'm sold on Protest after that. Man. 0:42:10.880 --> 0:42:13.600 But the funny part in that phase when the first 0:42:13.640 --> 0:42:16.160 time he took him down it was easy, and then 0:42:16.239 --> 0:42:18.200 you had you will say it to yourself, Okay, this 0:42:18.360 --> 0:42:19.960 is the game. Please just gonna go out there and 0:42:20.040 --> 0:42:22.600 take him down, and then he couldn't, and then it 0:42:22.840 --> 0:42:28.359 just it created a worse downfall. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, man, 0:42:28.560 --> 0:42:31.960 that was that was impressive. That was really impressive. And 0:42:32.400 --> 0:42:35.120 to travel that far and to have a performance like 0:42:35.200 --> 0:42:37.799 that isn't easy either. Yeah. You know, that's a long 0:42:37.920 --> 0:42:38.960 freaking trip man. 0:42:39.719 --> 0:42:39.879 Right. 0:42:40.200 --> 0:42:43.000 Protest said he couldn't have everybody be sad for the 0:42:43.080 --> 0:42:45.160 trip back, so he made sure that they were happy. 0:42:45.239 --> 0:42:48.319 And uh, you know when you say when it works 0:42:48.360 --> 0:42:50.440 out like that, it's good like that. 0:42:50.719 --> 0:42:54.560 When you step up the way that Carlos Protest has 0:42:54.600 --> 0:42:56.640 stepped up for the UFC, and Sean Strickland, by the way, 0:42:56.640 --> 0:42:58.680 is another guy who has repeatedly stepped up put his 0:42:58.800 --> 0:43:01.279 title on the line very quick stepped into main events 0:43:01.280 --> 0:43:03.960 against a bousmagamet, i'v an a Sardini mob off short notice, 0:43:03.960 --> 0:43:06.279 all of those things. But Protest, you know, stepped into 0:43:06.320 --> 0:43:09.960 the Ian Gary main event right and fights Jeff Neil, 0:43:10.000 --> 0:43:12.520 then fights Leon Edwards, goes to Perth. Now, I don't 0:43:12.520 --> 0:43:14.560 know if he's going to be willing to wait, the 0:43:14.640 --> 0:43:16.800 type of guy he is, given what his show money is. 0:43:16.920 --> 0:43:18.880 Maybe he says, yeah, give me Morales, give me one 0:43:18.920 --> 0:43:21.719 of these guys. Right, But if you are Carlos Protests 0:43:21.960 --> 0:43:25.040 and you understand that overwhelmingly the most dollars can be 0:43:25.120 --> 0:43:27.080 made if you are the champion or fight for the belt, 0:43:27.640 --> 0:43:30.600 I think if he waits and you know, gets healthy 0:43:30.680 --> 0:43:33.360 and gets better, I think eventually, Kenny, you're right, like 0:43:33.440 --> 0:43:36.520 we will see Protest versus Makashev or Protests versus the champ. 0:43:37.200 --> 0:43:39.680 You know, Yeah, that's the one to make Man and 0:43:39.800 --> 0:43:43.279 Proctice again maximize that opportunity, which is not easy to 0:43:43.360 --> 0:43:46.040 do given all those circumstances that he was dealing with. 0:43:46.239 --> 0:43:50.000 On on Saturday, all right, right, lightweight division comin event, 0:43:50.080 --> 0:43:52.400 we talked a little bit about Quillen sal killed earlier 0:43:52.480 --> 0:43:54.719 on and Benil Daryusha at one point had an eight 0:43:54.880 --> 0:43:57.960 fight UFC lightweight winning streak. He's now lost four of 0:43:58.080 --> 0:44:00.719 five and had an early moment and but what do 0:44:00.800 --> 0:44:03.239 you make of this? Uh this Ousie Quill and sal 0:44:03.360 --> 0:44:05.840 Kild sort of taking this fifty five pound division by storm. 0:44:06.320 --> 0:44:09.040 Oh listen, that was a perfect fight to see where 0:44:09.120 --> 0:44:12.239 he's at. And he came through in flying colors. That's 0:44:12.239 --> 0:44:14.920 about it. But I mean, I think Benil's how old 0:44:14.960 --> 0:44:18.239 is see now he's he's getting up there. And once 0:44:18.320 --> 0:44:21.759 you get on those losing streaks, man, it is you 0:44:21.840 --> 0:44:25.680 know somebody I saw something the other day with I 0:44:25.760 --> 0:44:28.400 guess champs that have lost and they just it just 0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:31.640 it just continued. You continue to lose it. It's it's 0:44:31.719 --> 0:44:34.640 hard to break. At this point. I think he's got 0:44:34.760 --> 0:44:37.600 to look at you know, probably retiring soon. He's what 0:44:37.760 --> 0:44:41.520 a super nice guy that he's just a gat I mean, 0:44:41.560 --> 0:44:43.520 I think that was part of his problem. It just 0:44:43.719 --> 0:44:47.320 wasn't what the UFC wanted to promote. I think because 0:44:47.360 --> 0:44:51.600 he deserved probably a shot, you know, well the fight 0:44:51.680 --> 0:44:53.080 win streak and I don't. 0:44:52.880 --> 0:44:56.200 Know, just wrong division right, and said yeah, yeah, that 0:44:56.280 --> 0:44:58.279 could be it too. Yeah, he's been a little bit 0:44:58.320 --> 0:45:01.160 exposed against the Eliite fighters that he has faced recently. 0:45:01.480 --> 0:45:04.239 He has that Hanato moy Kano win fairly recently, but 0:45:04.320 --> 0:45:07.240 otherwise the Oli of Eas Sarwakians, these guys have proven 0:45:07.280 --> 0:45:11.080 to be on a different level than him. But it 0:45:11.239 --> 0:45:14.560 is interesting when you think about a transition in Australia 0:45:14.840 --> 0:45:18.919 and you know, the transition from say Volkanovsky to Jack 0:45:19.000 --> 0:45:21.719 Della Mattelena, and all of a sudden, now Jack has 0:45:21.800 --> 0:45:24.520 lost to in a row Volkes the champion again. I 0:45:24.719 --> 0:45:29.239 do see Quillan Salkild, who is still very green, as 0:45:29.280 --> 0:45:32.239 a guy who can really carry the torch for this nation. 0:45:32.320 --> 0:45:32.560 Kenny. 0:45:32.600 --> 0:45:34.960 It's a tough division, right, I mean, Benny Daryush want 0:45:34.960 --> 0:45:37.279 eight fights in a row and didn't even get to 0:45:37.400 --> 0:45:38.760 number two or three in the world. 0:45:38.920 --> 0:45:41.400 You know, but I do even Clintalkild, I really do. 0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:44.600 I do too. You know. It seems like he's got 0:45:44.640 --> 0:45:48.640 the right mentality. He has a variety of skills as 0:45:48.719 --> 0:45:52.080 well on the ground, on the feet, massive for the division, 0:45:52.760 --> 0:45:56.840 you know, really good size lightweight. But yeah, that division 0:45:56.960 --> 0:46:00.920 is crazy, so much talent. But if there's a guy 0:46:01.000 --> 0:46:03.160 that can represent at a high level and prove that 0:46:03.200 --> 0:46:05.960 he's elite. I think it's sell killed for sure. He 0:46:06.080 --> 0:46:10.399 called out me Cam Yeah, and again like who's calling 0:46:10.440 --> 0:46:13.560 out Gamran? Like that's a tough matchup for anybody. He 0:46:13.680 --> 0:46:15.800 could be a nightmare if he's able to, you know, 0:46:16.280 --> 0:46:18.759 get you down repeatedly. And it shows what kind of 0:46:18.800 --> 0:46:21.560 confidence he has. And again, this isn't a guy who's 0:46:21.560 --> 0:46:24.200 been in the UFC for four or five years. He's 0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:27.160 still relatively fresh to the UFC. And I think it 0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.440 shows the confidence that he has in himself and that 0:46:29.560 --> 0:46:30.839 his team has in him as well. 0:46:32.680 --> 0:46:36.480 Yeah, it is interesting when you could call out somebody 0:46:36.640 --> 0:46:39.080 like Paddy Pimblet, for example, And I do believe that 0:46:39.200 --> 0:46:42.560 Paddy Pimblet is a force with whom to be reckoned 0:46:42.640 --> 0:46:46.560 for sure. But you gotta have something in your thought process, 0:46:46.719 --> 0:46:49.719 Kennedy to call out Mattauj Gamra, right that maybe you're 0:46:49.719 --> 0:46:51.799 thinking like he doesn't have the power on the feet 0:46:51.880 --> 0:46:53.800 to knock me out. And I believe enough in my 0:46:53.960 --> 0:46:57.759 grappling technique and strength and submission ability in my own right, 0:46:58.680 --> 0:47:01.360 you know that Maybe that's why you know, because it 0:47:01.480 --> 0:47:04.279 was very calculated and sal Kill doesn't miss a beat 0:47:04.480 --> 0:47:06.359 or hesitate for a second to call him out. 0:47:06.400 --> 0:47:08.800 You know, yeah, I think, first of all, that's just 0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:12.759 really smart business sense to go and do that. Having 0:47:12.800 --> 0:47:15.120 a name, very specific name that you want to fight 0:47:15.920 --> 0:47:19.280 again shows his level of confidence, but also perhaps shows 0:47:19.400 --> 0:47:22.279 that he has a ladder in mind to get there. 0:47:22.520 --> 0:47:22.640 Right. 0:47:22.719 --> 0:47:25.800 It's like, before I face a Sarukian or before I 0:47:25.880 --> 0:47:28.160 face kind of the elite wrestlers, let me take a 0:47:28.200 --> 0:47:30.840 guy who's maybe just a step underneath there and Gamron 0:47:31.080 --> 0:47:33.720 and prove to everybody that I'm a problem for wrestlers 0:47:33.760 --> 0:47:34.080 as well. 0:47:34.239 --> 0:47:37.719 So smart, I tell you guys a spot on today. Man, 0:47:37.760 --> 0:47:39.000 I like it. This is good. 0:47:39.360 --> 0:47:41.359 I got my thrown coffee before the show. 0:47:41.480 --> 0:47:44.960 Yeah, I'm leg behind. I got nothing over you. 0:47:45.480 --> 0:47:48.239 Yeah, I promise, I promise that we're going to take 0:47:48.280 --> 0:47:50.400 care of you with the Throne Sport coffee. We might 0:47:50.480 --> 0:47:53.279 just have to suspend it a week because you chose 0:47:53.400 --> 0:47:55.080 to acknowledge one of their. 0:47:57.440 --> 0:48:00.480 Wait First off, I one hundred apologize. 0:48:00.520 --> 0:48:02.880 Apologies, no no clue. 0:48:03.480 --> 0:48:08.239 So, speaking of apologies, tay to Ivasa apologizing to his 0:48:08.560 --> 0:48:12.399 fans for a seventh successive loss. And uh, I think 0:48:12.480 --> 0:48:15.759 this one stings in particular because it's now back to 0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:17.719 back training camps in which he has put in the 0:48:17.800 --> 0:48:21.000 work and it hasn't. Kenny produced the desire result and 0:48:21.520 --> 0:48:23.480 it's a lot of red stripes on the wikiped page. 0:48:24.160 --> 0:48:27.080 I was cheering for him so hard while watching that 0:48:27.239 --> 0:48:30.040 fight because I tell you what he has been putting 0:48:30.120 --> 0:48:33.360 in the work. He has been It was clear that 0:48:33.560 --> 0:48:37.160 he was way more adamant about not staying still when 0:48:37.239 --> 0:48:40.040 someone hit a takedown on him. He was scrambling his 0:48:40.880 --> 0:48:43.239 big heart out to try to get back to his feet. 0:48:43.280 --> 0:48:44.879 He was, you know, you could tell he was working 0:48:44.920 --> 0:48:47.719 the ground game, all that stuff he's wrestling, but it 0:48:47.920 --> 0:48:50.400 just wasn't going his way. And I will say this 0:48:50.640 --> 0:48:52.560 for any other fighters that are that are you know 0:48:52.760 --> 0:48:56.280 maybe hearing this is that this is why you don't 0:48:56.400 --> 0:48:59.480 have those camps where you take them off because it 0:48:59.719 --> 0:49:02.239 may maybe it doesn't click in one camp or two 0:49:02.320 --> 0:49:04.920 camps or three camps. And if you took those camps 0:49:05.000 --> 0:49:07.600 off before, and you're going, oh shit, now I gotta 0:49:07.800 --> 0:49:10.799 I gotta scramble for the for the test. I didn't 0:49:10.840 --> 0:49:12.880 do my homework during you know, all these years, and 0:49:12.920 --> 0:49:16.280 now I gotta like cram for the test. It rarely 0:49:16.800 --> 0:49:20.600 goes your way, guys, So stay working all the time. 0:49:20.719 --> 0:49:23.800 And it's clear that he has been working recently, but 0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:27.160 if he was working a couple years ago, that be 0:49:27.320 --> 0:49:28.120 paying off now. 0:49:28.360 --> 0:49:31.360 I think, in my opinion, maybe Ty would agree with that, 0:49:31.920 --> 0:49:33.520 but it shows he has talent. 0:49:33.680 --> 0:49:37.640 He has talent. Maybe wasn't always you know, laser focus 0:49:37.760 --> 0:49:40.400 with his training, but man I fell for it because 0:49:40.400 --> 0:49:42.560 he was doing the right things. He was attempting to 0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:44.560 doing the right things. You see the hunger when he 0:49:44.719 --> 0:49:47.200 was fighting. He just wasn't able to pull it off. 0:49:47.480 --> 0:49:49.960 And in this game it's way too complicated and tough 0:49:50.280 --> 0:49:52.160 and it takes a few camps for it to really 0:49:52.280 --> 0:49:54.640 click to where you can execute it in a fight. 0:49:54.960 --> 0:49:57.920 Right. And Kenny does one thing you said, Look, it's 0:49:58.000 --> 0:50:01.560 that winner learn for a lot of the first time 0:50:01.719 --> 0:50:04.520 he lost like that, that was the time to start, 0:50:04.640 --> 0:50:06.040 you know what I mean? And I got you know 0:50:06.160 --> 0:50:09.160 from my experience, Like the biggest guy that ever demonstrated 0:50:09.160 --> 0:50:11.120 that to me was Morob. I mean, he had a 0:50:11.160 --> 0:50:13.680 lot of not a lot of losses, but anytime he 0:50:13.880 --> 0:50:17.440 lost the next day, he was back in there correcting 0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:22.719 it anytime. And he he defines that saying win or learn, 0:50:22.800 --> 0:50:26.320 because he one million percent did uh And I expect 0:50:26.400 --> 0:50:28.319 him to do it again for the next gen fight, 0:50:28.840 --> 0:50:31.960 but uh, ty to of it, he had to go 0:50:32.200 --> 0:50:36.120 back at that time. One camp ain't doing anything. I'll 0:50:36.160 --> 0:50:38.160 be honest with you. You know, look, if you if 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:39.920 you got a short minute, you know, if you got 0:50:40.000 --> 0:50:42.840 like a big opportunity, yeah you try to do it. 0:50:42.920 --> 0:50:46.840 But to think that you could bridge the gap with 0:50:47.040 --> 0:50:49.879 some of these guys that have been doing this shit 0:50:49.960 --> 0:50:54.080 their whole life in one camp is just nothing short 0:50:54.120 --> 0:50:58.000 of delusional. Unless you're a super talent. I mean, you'd 0:50:58.040 --> 0:51:00.440 have to be a unique individual, right. 0:51:01.040 --> 0:51:04.680 My parents were always preaching like stick tuitiveness, like stick 0:51:04.760 --> 0:51:08.520 the fuck to it. And you know, I said when 0:51:08.560 --> 0:51:10.640 I started hot yoga that if I get to one 0:51:10.719 --> 0:51:13.080 hundred classes and I can't do some of these fucking 0:51:13.120 --> 0:51:16.240 poses and balance, then I'm out. And I was getting 0:51:16.360 --> 0:51:19.080 very frustrated around class forty five, and then I had 0:51:19.120 --> 0:51:21.480 a little bit of a breakthrough and maybe you know, 0:51:21.680 --> 0:51:24.040 started to not look like the worst student in the class, 0:51:24.080 --> 0:51:26.600 and I started to think, not unlike a jiu jitsu mentality, 0:51:26.640 --> 0:51:30.080 like wait a second, this might actually work out, but yes, 0:51:30.160 --> 0:51:32.360 you can't cheat the developmental time. And I think for 0:51:32.520 --> 0:51:35.200 tie as many amazing training camps as there have been 0:51:35.239 --> 0:51:37.759 in the United Arab Emirates. There's been a lot of 0:51:37.800 --> 0:51:40.879 recreational time as well. And you know, you can't cheat 0:51:40.920 --> 0:51:41.359 this game. 0:51:41.520 --> 0:51:41.920 If R. J. 0:51:42.040 --> 0:51:44.680 Clifford was on here today, Ray, he was gonna suggest 0:51:44.760 --> 0:51:47.960 that bare knuckle boxing would be uh an arena in 0:51:48.040 --> 0:51:50.040 which Tie could realize a lot of success and. 0:51:50.280 --> 0:51:54.839 Financially not a bid suggestion. Yeah, yeah, because what he's 0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:58.440 got to stick it to what he does at least decently, 0:51:58.520 --> 0:52:00.800 and he can. He does have pout that's actually a 0:52:00.840 --> 0:52:04.160 perfect uh Yeah, I think he hit that nail right 0:52:04.239 --> 0:52:04.600 on the head. 0:52:04.840 --> 0:52:05.040 It is. 0:52:05.160 --> 0:52:07.200 He's got the style, he's got the personality. 0:52:07.600 --> 0:52:10.080 You know, he doesn't have. 0:52:12.000 --> 0:52:16.920 Genetically the biggest heavyweight hands, right, I'm sure again some 0:52:17.120 --> 0:52:19.279 fans will be like, dude, yeah, but I'm telling you, 0:52:19.440 --> 0:52:22.560 like no, I'm just saying no. But some of these guys, 0:52:22.640 --> 0:52:25.120 when they shake your head right, like Dan Henderson, it 0:52:25.160 --> 0:52:26.640 still hurts, you know what I mean. Like, I'm just 0:52:26.719 --> 0:52:29.920 saying that when I think about heavyweights, overwhelmingly, a lot 0:52:30.000 --> 0:52:32.680 of these guys like Georgina Rosenstrike will just stick his 0:52:32.880 --> 0:52:35.200 hand out and it hurts, you know. So I don't 0:52:35.239 --> 0:52:38.040 know the tie, I'm just in a bare knuckle setting 0:52:38.120 --> 0:52:39.879 that is actually a big Yeah. 0:52:40.040 --> 0:52:42.239 I'm starting to think that's a I mean, I'm not 0:52:42.320 --> 0:52:44.200 starting to think, but that is a huge factor when 0:52:44.239 --> 0:52:45.760 you have a fucking mid. 0:52:45.680 --> 0:52:46.200 On you man. 0:52:47.680 --> 0:52:51.719 Wellchie has about it, and go Chie's hands are just 0:52:53.000 --> 0:52:54.960 they feel like rocks, you know what I mean, like 0:52:55.360 --> 0:52:56.399 just everybody's got. 0:52:58.200 --> 0:52:59.000 Chi. Yeah. 0:52:59.760 --> 0:53:02.200 Well, I mean I would say for a lightweight there 0:53:02.400 --> 0:53:06.040 above average, but rock bone density. 0:53:06.719 --> 0:53:09.360 You know. You know what fight fascinating me was the 0:53:09.480 --> 0:53:11.120 two heavyweights. 0:53:10.520 --> 0:53:15.880 The the Brando Parachitchen Shamilaz He fight to night. 0:53:16.520 --> 0:53:20.280 I think I fight yeah more on such weird times. 0:53:20.480 --> 0:53:22.839 I was trying to follow as much as I could, 0:53:22.920 --> 0:53:25.000 but uh but dude, how do you get rid of? 0:53:25.520 --> 0:53:30.000 I mean the punishment that other guy took with clean shots, 0:53:30.080 --> 0:53:31.400 Like what do you do with that? 0:53:34.560 --> 0:53:36.600 I was looking at those guys. I'm like, that's why 0:53:36.680 --> 0:53:37.720 I carry guns. 0:53:37.960 --> 0:53:41.920 You know what do you think? You think You're punching 0:53:42.000 --> 0:53:44.400 that guy in the head on the street without breaking 0:53:44.520 --> 0:53:46.759 your hand and he's just gonna laugh at you. 0:53:47.120 --> 0:53:49.640 I mean, he imagine that guy on Beth It's like, 0:53:49.680 --> 0:53:55.920 what are you gonna do? Zombie? That is a giant zombie. 0:53:56.360 --> 0:54:00.239 Oh good god, I cannot. His head was snapping back 0:54:00.520 --> 0:54:04.720 goldie indicators that he's going out, and he still managed 0:54:04.800 --> 0:54:06.600 to Uh yeah, yeah, you're right. 0:54:06.680 --> 0:54:09.960 That was the They landed like twenty knockout punches on 0:54:10.040 --> 0:54:13.360 each other. Got any other normal human beings, it was, and. 0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:17.160 He almost came back. He cut it looked like he 0:54:17.280 --> 0:54:18.720 was gonna turn it around. 0:54:19.520 --> 0:54:22.440 One hundred thousand dollars in bonus money. Oh good for 0:54:22.800 --> 0:54:23.360 his efforts. 0:54:23.560 --> 0:54:24.160 He deserved that. 0:54:24.480 --> 0:54:26.960 When that was one of those fights, when the guy 0:54:27.040 --> 0:54:28.920 had him against the cage, I'm like, I let him 0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:31.040 stay there for another thirty seconds so we can get 0:54:31.120 --> 0:54:33.359 more of them, we can get more of what we're saying. 0:54:33.400 --> 0:54:35.399 I let him, let him charge up, and then throw 0:54:35.480 --> 0:54:38.040 him out there again. Oh my god, it was I 0:54:38.120 --> 0:54:40.480 thought that was crazy, crazy, crazy. 0:54:41.120 --> 0:54:44.120 So of all the chaos that ensued at my daughter's 0:54:44.320 --> 0:54:47.280 uh wayward party this weekend. You know, the second officer 0:54:47.360 --> 0:54:49.279 that showed up, who's actually a detective, he was just 0:54:49.360 --> 0:54:51.839 doing a little overtime, you know. I see that cauliflower here. 0:54:51.880 --> 0:54:55.920 I'm like, oh, we are in business now, train Ryan, 0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:58.839 you train officer, you know, and uh, but it's always 0:54:58.880 --> 0:55:00.480 great when you see the man in and the jiu 0:55:00.560 --> 0:55:02.880 jitsu practitioner's been doing jiu jitsu for ten years, and 0:55:02.920 --> 0:55:05.080 I asked him, you know how much more confidence does 0:55:05.120 --> 0:55:07.680 that give you out in the streets? You know, choke 0:55:07.760 --> 0:55:09.879 one of these young motherfuckers out in a blink, can't 0:55:09.920 --> 0:55:11.720 she y? How's your rear naked show? Crying? 0:55:11.880 --> 0:55:12.040 You know? 0:55:13.800 --> 0:55:16.759 It solved so many problems, even just I said not 0:55:16.880 --> 0:55:20.000 to get off track too much, but getting handcuffs on people, 0:55:20.080 --> 0:55:23.719 that's where I see police officers struggle so badly. Their 0:55:23.760 --> 0:55:26.520 ability to control a guy who does not want to 0:55:26.560 --> 0:55:28.359 be controlled, or doesn't want to get into a car, 0:55:28.560 --> 0:55:31.000 doesn't want to you know, And that jiu jitsu or 0:55:31.000 --> 0:55:34.480 wrestling background is a huge advantage for police officers. 0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:37.799 The problem that too, Kenny, is the police officers are 0:55:37.880 --> 0:55:39.000 handcuffed themselves. 0:55:39.120 --> 0:55:43.040 I mean, you can't do this, you can't do that. 0:55:43.600 --> 0:55:46.360 Yeah, I'm gonna tell you something, man. On that like 0:55:46.560 --> 0:55:49.280 growing up in the like the seventies and the eighties, 0:55:49.400 --> 0:55:53.200 holy shit, you got out of line. You would get like, 0:55:53.560 --> 0:55:56.640 yeah something. And I'm gonna say, as weird as this sounds, 0:55:59.719 --> 0:56:01.719 i'dn't to go back to that. I'd like to go 0:56:01.840 --> 0:56:04.600 back to those days guys are getting away with murder. 0:56:05.040 --> 0:56:07.239 I just I don't like it. I mean, I have 0:56:07.400 --> 0:56:10.279 had a buddy of mine's got a script. He's gonna 0:56:10.280 --> 0:56:12.520 start shooting the movie soon. But it's based on his 0:56:12.680 --> 0:56:15.640 life story in like nineteen eighty two and he went 0:56:15.680 --> 0:56:17.520 out with a girl. The fault didn't like him. He 0:56:17.640 --> 0:56:20.480 was a cop. He threw light a fluid on him 0:56:20.719 --> 0:56:23.520 and threatened to threaten to set him on fire. Like 0:56:23.680 --> 0:56:27.160 it's and I'm like, that's the shit that happened. Like 0:56:27.480 --> 0:56:30.360 if you did something to like a CoP's kid or 0:56:30.440 --> 0:56:33.719 something back, you were getting pulled over every half hour, 0:56:33.880 --> 0:56:36.920 they would just tort you. Now again that's successive. I 0:56:36.960 --> 0:56:39.840 don't like that. But there's got to be a common ground, 0:56:39.880 --> 0:56:42.279 like you know, And I think what always happens is 0:56:42.440 --> 0:56:44.920 it's so far one way, you got to bring it 0:56:44.960 --> 0:56:46.719 all the way back the other way instead of in 0:56:46.800 --> 0:56:49.799 the middle. But those guys are handcuffed now, and who 0:56:49.880 --> 0:56:51.480 the hell wants to be a cop? You could you 0:56:51.520 --> 0:56:53.799 could end up in jail trying to do your job, 0:56:53.920 --> 0:56:55.960 and I think that's horrifying. 0:56:56.239 --> 0:56:57.560 Have you ever been handcuffed? 0:56:57.640 --> 0:56:57.759 Right? 0:56:59.000 --> 0:56:59.040 No? 0:57:00.080 --> 0:57:01.440 Wow, how about that? 0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:06.719 I'm listen you pull, I'm throwing the keys on the 0:57:07.719 --> 0:57:08.719 you know whatever. 0:57:08.840 --> 0:57:12.640 Not even the golden handcuffs, because your wife has an 0:57:12.680 --> 0:57:13.680 amazing job as well. 0:57:14.800 --> 0:57:19.680 Those hands, those handcuffs are on. Okay, I don't know 0:57:19.720 --> 0:57:21.880 you would metaphorically. 0:57:21.840 --> 0:57:22.720 Before we let you go. 0:57:23.280 --> 0:57:25.240 First of all, I'm sorry I didn't call you back 0:57:25.320 --> 0:57:27.840 this week. The answer is yes to every. 0:57:27.760 --> 0:57:28.920 Good thank your voicemail. 0:57:28.960 --> 0:57:29.960 The answers always yes. 0:57:30.400 --> 0:57:33.640 Yeah, I just I feel weird. I think we gotta 0:57:34.520 --> 0:57:37.280 something in the future, you know, if we could have 0:57:37.840 --> 0:57:40.000 two seconds of your time this week? 0:57:41.680 --> 0:57:44.000 Yes, Numbered event pay per view weeks are always a 0:57:44.080 --> 0:57:46.120 great time to get on them. 0:57:46.200 --> 0:57:49.640 Oh yeah, where are you are? You're in Jersey this week? 0:57:50.000 --> 0:57:56.080 Yeah, my friend down the street. We will take care 0:57:56.160 --> 0:57:59.760 of all of that. And uh, I don't say figured 0:57:59.840 --> 0:58:01.600 of that. You're the star of the show. You literally 0:58:01.600 --> 0:58:03.120 are the star of the show. So the answer when 0:58:03.160 --> 0:58:05.240 you need something, or want something or have an idea 0:58:05.240 --> 0:58:07.600 on the podcast, the answer is always yes. But before 0:58:07.640 --> 0:58:13.760 we let you go. Kamzaschimayev, who is fighting this weekend. 0:58:13.800 --> 0:58:16.000 I listened to his walkout song on repeat on the 0:58:16.040 --> 0:58:20.200 treadmill the entire time this morning. Ah, he's the most 0:58:20.240 --> 0:58:23.040 electrifying force in the fight game, at least as far 0:58:23.080 --> 0:58:26.200 as I'm concerned. Dana White myself, others have said we 0:58:26.280 --> 0:58:28.840 have never seen anything like him, and he is a 0:58:29.640 --> 0:58:32.160 five to one favorite to retain the belt in his 0:58:32.280 --> 0:58:36.080 first defense against Sean Strickland. Ray, what are your expectations 0:58:36.440 --> 0:58:37.640 for the main events Saturday night? 0:58:38.520 --> 0:58:38.680 Uh? 0:58:39.200 --> 0:58:41.440 Man, I tell you. The thing that bothers me is 0:58:41.480 --> 0:58:45.240 there's people that saw those training sessions that have a 0:58:45.360 --> 0:58:48.760 good idea of what's going to happen, and unfortunately all 0:58:48.840 --> 0:58:52.280 three of us haven't been there. But I like the 0:58:52.320 --> 0:58:57.880 way Strickland's been talking. I don't know, I hope he's 0:58:57.920 --> 0:59:00.560 not just selling the fight because he sounds very confident. 0:59:01.320 --> 0:59:06.120 But uh, I sounds like quite defense. 0:59:06.880 --> 0:59:08.760 Yeah, yeah, you know, I'll get off the fence. But 0:59:08.840 --> 0:59:10.400 he's a five to one favorite. 0:59:11.280 --> 0:59:12.280 Yeah, I mean I can. 0:59:12.480 --> 0:59:12.560 Uh. 0:59:12.880 --> 0:59:15.880 I think you think it's juicy, Ray, Yeah, I think 0:59:15.920 --> 0:59:17.720 you see some potential in Strickland. 0:59:18.880 --> 0:59:22.600 True, I gotta go with this. True blooded American. 0:59:24.000 --> 0:59:26.480 Has four hundred, so a one hundred dollars better. 0:59:27.120 --> 0:59:30.760 I'm betting on Strickland, all right. I like I like uh, 0:59:31.040 --> 0:59:33.280 I like his whole stick, I like everything. But Uh. 0:59:34.240 --> 0:59:36.320 The thing that bothers me is this guy's training with 0:59:36.400 --> 0:59:38.720 that guy that what's his name, Calvina? 0:59:39.640 --> 0:59:43.280 Oh the garage, Sure, yeah, I don't I don't know, man, 0:59:44.000 --> 0:59:47.160 a few for a few camps now, ray, yeah, camps. 0:59:47.720 --> 0:59:51.560 Yeah cool. I just hope he's second or third board 0:59:51.640 --> 0:59:54.560 and there's no p peo bulls ship anything like that, 0:59:54.680 --> 0:59:59.600 because it looks like the testing is uh, become way 0:59:59.680 --> 1:00:02.680 more than it used to be. But it could because 1:00:02.680 --> 1:00:04.880 I'm out of the loop a little bit. But I 1:00:05.160 --> 1:00:07.520 don't know. I always had guys in the gym sitting there, 1:00:07.640 --> 1:00:10.800 and yeah, it just didn't seem like the same thing 1:00:10.920 --> 1:00:11.960 the last couple of years. 1:00:12.480 --> 1:00:14.520 Yeah, No, I think that's fair. All right, Well, we'll 1:00:14.560 --> 1:00:17.200 see how it all shakes out this weekend. You will 1:00:17.200 --> 1:00:18.960 not be at UFC three twenty eight, I take it. 1:00:19.320 --> 1:00:21.680 I will not be there, Okay, all right, buddy.

So this is a card I've 1:02:30.720 --> 1:02:33.360 really been working on for a little bit, so excited 1:02:33.400 --> 1:02:33.680 to cover. 1:02:33.840 --> 1:02:37.040 Well, this is amazing. So UFC on the Line will 1:02:37.080 --> 1:02:40.200 be live taping in Newark, New Jersey. Have you taken 1:02:40.280 --> 1:02:41.080 that show on the road. 1:02:41.040 --> 1:02:44.040 Before, Yeah, to Vancouver. We did it up to Vancouver 1:02:44.120 --> 1:02:47.320 and that was it and this came by surprise, so yeah, really. 1:02:47.240 --> 1:02:50.200 Oh that's great and obviously you've got some East Coast roots. 1:02:50.280 --> 1:02:51.640 You must be pumped to be coming back. 1:02:52.200 --> 1:02:55.200 Indeed, about an hour plus away from Philly and New 1:02:55.280 --> 1:02:58.240 York City, so yeah, a lot of close friends around 1:02:58.320 --> 1:03:00.800 that vicinity. I'm excited to be there, staying about five 1:03:00.920 --> 1:03:02.720 days because I want to do a little traveling. 1:03:02.840 --> 1:03:03.040 Good. 1:03:03.400 --> 1:03:05.720 Well, the listeners and viewers were very appreciative of your 1:03:05.720 --> 1:03:08.080 analysis for UFC three twenty seven. We asked you to 1:03:08.120 --> 1:03:10.440 pick nine fights. It'll just be five today. But before 1:03:10.440 --> 1:03:14.360 we get started, Aaron Judge, I don't know if you've 1:03:14.360 --> 1:03:16.040 been paying attention, but since you were on the air, 1:03:16.080 --> 1:03:20.080 he's hit ten fucking home runs, so ten, he's had 1:03:20.160 --> 1:03:22.960 ten in the last fucking proofs, So I don't know if. 1:03:22.920 --> 1:03:26.320 You're taking he gave He gave that pick out early early. 1:03:26.600 --> 1:03:31.320 All right, everybody, Aaron judge al MVP. The price is 1:03:31.440 --> 1:03:34.120 not as sweet as it was. All right, lightweight division, 1:03:34.160 --> 1:03:36.479 we do have some big numbers on the main card. 1:03:36.560 --> 1:03:39.240 This is one of them. King Green minus three zero five, 1:03:39.320 --> 1:03:43.000 Jeremy Stevens plus two forty five Yanni. A lot of paperwork, 1:03:43.040 --> 1:03:45.480 a lot of film on both of these guys. Stevens, 1:03:45.520 --> 1:03:48.440 out of the UFC for four years, returned against Mason 1:03:48.520 --> 1:03:51.640 Jones last May and his native Des Moines, Iowa. Hasn't 1:03:51.720 --> 1:03:54.080 won spending his last seven UFC fights, but there's been 1:03:54.120 --> 1:03:55.760 a lot of time outside of the octagon and other 1:03:55.880 --> 1:03:58.680 endeavors and initiatives. What are your thoughts on Green and 1:03:58.720 --> 1:03:59.880 Stevens under the lights this week? 1:04:00.960 --> 1:04:04.520 Yeah, this is a tough fight because of the price. 1:04:04.720 --> 1:04:07.440 And here's what I mean. You're looking at King Green's 1:04:07.440 --> 1:04:10.840 side obviously the rightful favorite. You touched on it. We've 1:04:10.880 --> 1:04:14.080 only seen Jeremy Stevens fight once since twenty twenty one 1:04:14.320 --> 1:04:17.680 at the UFC level, and prior to that he had 1:04:17.720 --> 1:04:20.480 come in it was like against Gamra, against Cador, against 1:04:20.520 --> 1:04:24.880 yat ear top level guys. On the flip side, we've 1:04:24.920 --> 1:04:27.600 seen Green of late. He's coming off a very impressive 1:04:27.680 --> 1:04:30.120 win against Zel Huber in a fight he was not 1:04:30.280 --> 1:04:32.480 expected to win a plus three to fifty dog in 1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:35.400 fact right, and prior to that, it was a fight 1:04:35.440 --> 1:04:36.760 he was supposed to when it was supposed to be 1:04:36.800 --> 1:04:39.080 easy against Gibson, where he went off at two to 1:04:39.160 --> 1:04:41.600 one and he got a split decision. But it's the 1:04:41.680 --> 1:04:45.600 activity of Green that you have to like, coupled by 1:04:46.720 --> 1:04:49.560 the fact that when you get to the Stevens side, 1:04:50.280 --> 1:04:56.000 it's again a negative strike differential against Green is a problem, 1:04:56.400 --> 1:04:58.120 and I don't think he's going to be able to 1:04:58.160 --> 1:05:01.400 implement that ground game that's going to give Green any 1:05:01.560 --> 1:05:03.720 type of issues where he'll be able to take them down, 1:05:03.800 --> 1:05:06.880 control them, sub them, anything like that. I think Green 1:05:07.080 --> 1:05:11.640 systematically starts to break Stevens down by outlanding him, and 1:05:11.840 --> 1:05:13.920 the question is whether he gets them out of there 1:05:14.120 --> 1:05:16.120 or not. The price is keeping me off it. If 1:05:16.160 --> 1:05:18.760 I have to pick the winners, obviously the Green side 1:05:19.040 --> 1:05:22.120 minus three hundreds should win, but I can't get to 1:05:22.160 --> 1:05:24.080 where there's value because I got to conclude he wins 1:05:24.160 --> 1:05:26.520 this fight four out of five times, and I just 1:05:26.600 --> 1:05:28.480 can't get there with a guy that's, you know, a 1:05:28.520 --> 1:05:32.360 couple of fights above five hundred in the UFC and 1:05:32.480 --> 1:05:35.120 with Stevens, just too many questions, marks going way out 1:05:35.160 --> 1:05:38.000 on that risk curve, decent plus on the take back, 1:05:38.320 --> 1:05:40.440 but just not enough to interest me. For me, it's 1:05:40.480 --> 1:05:42.200 a kind of fight I'm going to pass on. 1:05:42.480 --> 1:05:42.680 Yeah. 1:05:43.040 --> 1:05:44.120 I expect Green to win. 1:05:44.800 --> 1:05:46.640 Yeah, I don't expect a ton of people to be 1:05:46.760 --> 1:05:48.960 salivated to get action on this one. A few other 1:05:49.040 --> 1:05:51.760 numbers for you. Kenny thirty ath UFC appearance for King Green. 1:05:51.840 --> 1:05:55.360 He'll be forty in September, had nineteen pro mma wins 1:05:55.400 --> 1:05:58.520 when he arrived in the UFC in twenty thirteen. Jeremy Stevens, 1:05:58.600 --> 1:06:01.000 as many of you know, made UFC debut on his 1:06:01.120 --> 1:06:04.440 twenty first birthday at UFC seventy one back in two 1:06:04.480 --> 1:06:07.320 thousand and seven. He will also be forty actually later 1:06:07.400 --> 1:06:10.680 this month on May twenty fifth, King Green, Monastery of Thought, 1:06:10.760 --> 1:06:12.680 Jeremy sevens plus two forty five kemphlip. 1:06:13.760 --> 1:06:15.720 You know, I see it a little differently. I think 1:06:15.800 --> 1:06:18.360 that you have two thirty nine year olds going at it. 1:06:18.960 --> 1:06:21.479 I think that Jeremy Stevens has had a rough patch, 1:06:21.640 --> 1:06:24.560 hit a rough patch in the UFC going against two grapplers, 1:06:24.600 --> 1:06:28.760 and Mason Jones and Gamrot never going to be a 1:06:28.800 --> 1:06:31.880 good matchup for him. But he's going against a guy 1:06:31.960 --> 1:06:34.200 in King Green who's going to be willing to stand 1:06:34.320 --> 1:06:37.600 up with him. You're also going against a guy in 1:06:37.680 --> 1:06:40.320 King Green who loves to keep his hands down low. 1:06:41.000 --> 1:06:43.560 He will not change that style for anybody. It's a 1:06:43.640 --> 1:06:45.680 part of who he is. It's a part of baiting 1:06:45.800 --> 1:06:49.000 people in Do you want to do that against a 1:06:49.040 --> 1:06:52.120 guy like Jeremy Stevens who has that kind of power. 1:06:52.600 --> 1:06:54.640 I don't think Jeremy is as fast as he used 1:06:54.640 --> 1:06:57.320 to be, but I don't think his power has left 1:06:57.400 --> 1:07:00.320 him at this stage of his game. So I think 1:07:00.640 --> 1:07:04.720 I think there's some value on Jeremy Stephens' side. Why 1:07:04.960 --> 1:07:08.160 just because you have two grapplers that are two strikers, 1:07:08.200 --> 1:07:12.640 sorry that you know are are gonna throw down, and 1:07:12.800 --> 1:07:15.480 Jeremy Stevens, I think is the more potent striker. I 1:07:15.520 --> 1:07:18.760 think he's got more power than Ken Green, is more unorthodox. 1:07:18.880 --> 1:07:22.040 For sure, he's gonna be an awkward out, but I 1:07:22.120 --> 1:07:25.400 think Jeremy Stevens has a shot, And for that reason, 1:07:25.440 --> 1:07:27.280 I think I think it's a little juicy, not a 1:07:27.320 --> 1:07:28.600 lot of juicy, but I think it's a. 1:07:28.600 --> 1:07:30.880 Little little juicy al right. Next up on the main 1:07:31.000 --> 1:07:34.000 Car live on Paramount Plus this weekend. In the welshweight division, 1:07:34.040 --> 1:07:37.240 Sean Brady minus one eighty five. New Mantlewakeing Buckley is 1:07:37.240 --> 1:07:40.600 plus one fifty four. So Brady number six in the 1:07:40.640 --> 1:07:42.320 world as of this tape and could go down a 1:07:42.360 --> 1:07:44.600 peg or two because of Carlos protest. Who will be 1:07:44.680 --> 1:07:47.560 number one or number two? I would think so Brady 1:07:47.600 --> 1:07:50.280 Fott just once in twenty twenty two, lost to Bla Mohamed, 1:07:50.320 --> 1:07:53.000 once in twenty twenty three, a win over Kelvin Gasolum, 1:07:53.040 --> 1:07:56.320 once in twenty twenty four, a win over Gilbert Arino Burns, 1:07:56.560 --> 1:07:58.720 and then last year Yanni the win over Leon Edwards 1:07:58.760 --> 1:08:01.920 followed by the loss to Michael Morales. Massive spot for 1:08:02.000 --> 1:08:04.560 him here Againstjaucke Buckley, who is also coming off a 1:08:04.600 --> 1:08:08.160 loss against Kamara Usman. Big things at one seventy strong 1:08:08.400 --> 1:08:10.560 lean either way for you, Yanni the Greek. 1:08:11.400 --> 1:08:13.600 Not a very strong lean, but I think there's some 1:08:13.800 --> 1:08:16.320 value because this fight's a lot closer than a coin 1:08:16.400 --> 1:08:18.760 flip than either guy being close to a two to 1:08:18.840 --> 1:08:21.120 one favorite. It's gonna come down to who gets to 1:08:21.240 --> 1:08:24.400 implement their game, and you're looking at a contrast of styles. 1:08:24.479 --> 1:08:26.200 We know what you're getting with Buckley wants to keep 1:08:26.240 --> 1:08:28.559 it standing. He wants to use his power, he wants 1:08:28.600 --> 1:08:32.280 to use his reach and the athleticism where you know 1:08:32.320 --> 1:08:34.559 what Brady wants to do wants to take you down. 1:08:34.880 --> 1:08:37.680 He wants to control you and try to get you 1:08:37.760 --> 1:08:40.280 out of there with submissions. That's the bottom line, or 1:08:40.360 --> 1:08:43.160 even you know, some ground and pounds, it's will Buckley 1:08:43.200 --> 1:08:45.560 be able to keep it standing? He's faced close to 1:08:45.680 --> 1:08:48.400 fifty takedown so far into UFC and stuffed you know, 1:08:48.560 --> 1:08:51.000 seven out of ten of those, so chances are it 1:08:51.080 --> 1:08:54.040 may be taken down. But will he be controlled? Hasn't 1:08:54.040 --> 1:08:56.840 been controlled all that long? Fifteen percent of the minutes 1:08:56.880 --> 1:09:00.280 he's grampling it that he has been controlled, So will 1:09:00.400 --> 1:09:03.759 Brady be able to control him? The thing that sticks 1:09:03.760 --> 1:09:06.400 out to me is each round starts standing, and that's 1:09:06.400 --> 1:09:09.120 where Buckley's gonna have the huge advantage. He's gonna have 1:09:09.160 --> 1:09:12.920 a four inch reach. The power edge is there when 1:09:12.960 --> 1:09:15.600 you look at the knockdown ratio, knockdown Ray all in 1:09:15.800 --> 1:09:19.040 favor of Buckley, and I think again it's it's a 1:09:19.120 --> 1:09:22.439 lot closer to a coin flip that the question is 1:09:22.600 --> 1:09:25.160 both these guys who they fought of late, Like this 1:09:25.240 --> 1:09:27.479 is a big fight for both of them, coming off 1:09:27.880 --> 1:09:31.080 the Morales loss on for Brady's side and the Ousman 1:09:31.200 --> 1:09:33.840 loss on the Buckley side. But prior to that, the 1:09:33.960 --> 1:09:37.200 names they were beaten was like Covington, Thompson, Luke A 1:09:37.400 --> 1:09:40.360 and then on the Brady side it's Burns gastolom A 1:09:40.520 --> 1:09:43.200 lost to Muhammad. I think this is a step up 1:09:43.280 --> 1:09:45.760 for both guys because of when they're facing each other 1:09:46.160 --> 1:09:48.840 as far as the point in their career. That's why 1:09:48.880 --> 1:09:50.880 I think it's a lot closer to a coin flip. 1:09:52.000 --> 1:09:53.800 Brady should be the favorite, but I don't think he 1:09:53.840 --> 1:09:55.680 should be about a one seventy one to eighty one 1:09:55.840 --> 1:09:57.960 ninety favorite because that says he wins this fight two 1:09:58.000 --> 1:09:59.760 out of three times. It's a little bit too much 1:09:59.800 --> 1:10:02.519 for me. Closer to sixty forty at worse. Give me 1:10:02.560 --> 1:10:05.000 plus one fifty or better on Buckley and I got 1:10:05.160 --> 1:10:07.320 to take it. In fact, it like plus one thirty 1:10:07.360 --> 1:10:10.320 one forty. I think there's some value, so plus money. 1:10:10.479 --> 1:10:11.120 I like the dog. 1:10:11.640 --> 1:10:14.360 Yeah, that's nicely laid out. Joaquin Buckley just turned thirty two. 1:10:14.439 --> 1:10:16.760 Kenny maybe not even in his fighting prime, spent some 1:10:16.840 --> 1:10:20.200 time at Kilcliffe FC during this training camp. Very hard 1:10:20.240 --> 1:10:22.400 worker just like Brady and has been the far more 1:10:22.439 --> 1:10:25.000 active guy. Went six and oh did Buckley combine in 1:10:25.080 --> 1:10:27.320 twenty twenty three and twenty twenty four? 1:10:28.080 --> 1:10:29.880 What do you make of this one? Ken Flow, Sean Brady, 1:10:29.920 --> 1:10:35.120 Joaquin Buckley. Yanni let me bang bro took all my analysis. 1:10:35.200 --> 1:10:38.160 That was spot on, dude, amazing job. I agree with 1:10:38.320 --> 1:10:40.639 a lot of what Yanni said, man. I think it's 1:10:40.800 --> 1:10:43.599 a phenomenal breakdown. I think there's a lot of value 1:10:43.680 --> 1:10:46.439 on Buckley. Why well, even though he's coming off that 1:10:46.600 --> 1:10:51.680 loss against Kamara Uzman, he trained with Kamorrow. I think 1:10:51.800 --> 1:10:55.280 that that was an eye opening experience for him. And 1:10:55.439 --> 1:10:58.640 we talked earlier about fighters learning from their mistakes or 1:10:58.720 --> 1:11:01.639 learning from their losses. I think Buckley's one of those guys. 1:11:02.080 --> 1:11:04.920 I think he is as competitive as they come. I 1:11:05.040 --> 1:11:09.559 think his size advantage and strength advantage will come into 1:11:09.600 --> 1:11:11.800 play here. Because Brady tends to bully a lot of 1:11:11.840 --> 1:11:15.000 guys out there. I'm not sure he can bully Buckley now. 1:11:15.000 --> 1:11:17.200 I think he can out technique Buckley on the ground 1:11:17.240 --> 1:11:19.120 if he can get it there. But I think a 1:11:19.200 --> 1:11:21.439 lot of it is going to come down to maybe 1:11:21.840 --> 1:11:24.599 that first round. Can he get off to a good 1:11:24.680 --> 1:11:29.000 start and gain some confidence coming off that last tough 1:11:29.080 --> 1:11:31.840 loss to Morales. So if Brady can get off to 1:11:31.880 --> 1:11:33.760 a good start, I think that's a good sign. But 1:11:34.280 --> 1:11:37.519 I think Buckley, you know, it's going to be important 1:11:37.520 --> 1:11:40.120 for him to get his footwork going and stop those 1:11:40.160 --> 1:11:43.600 takedowns to send a message. I like Buckley here. I 1:11:43.680 --> 1:11:47.000 think it's worth again sprinkling a little money. I think 1:11:47.040 --> 1:11:48.519 Buckley's got value for sure. 1:11:48.800 --> 1:11:51.280 All right, Buckley plus one point fifty four or so. 1:11:51.560 --> 1:11:53.960 Right now, we'll see where that number is as we 1:11:54.080 --> 1:11:56.719 approach closing time later this week. Now to a heavyweight 1:11:56.800 --> 1:12:01.280 matchup Alexander Volcom minus one seventy wall though cortez Acosta 1:12:01.439 --> 1:12:05.679 is plus one forty two Yanni the Dominican republished. Cortez 1:12:05.680 --> 1:12:07.600 Acosta has won three in a row eight of his 1:12:07.760 --> 1:12:10.920 last nine, only lost in there on points to Sergey Pavlovich. 1:12:11.280 --> 1:12:13.400 Now he draws the Towering Drago. 1:12:13.479 --> 1:12:14.280 What do you make of this one? 1:12:15.040 --> 1:12:17.200 Yeah, I think he got a lot of recency bias 1:12:17.360 --> 1:12:19.960 on the side of Volkoff coming off that al Maia 1:12:20.000 --> 1:12:21.519 win in a fight he was expected to win. At 1:12:21.600 --> 1:12:24.040 least that's what the market thought. He opened about a 1:12:24.080 --> 1:12:26.680 two to one underdog. Now, sharp money did come in 1:12:26.880 --> 1:12:29.080 on the volkoff side, and they got that one right 1:12:29.120 --> 1:12:31.680 because he closed it about plus one fifty five. So 1:12:31.800 --> 1:12:34.320 this is the guy's won five of six fights, but 1:12:34.560 --> 1:12:37.120 on the flip side with a Costa. He's out for 1:12:37.240 --> 1:12:39.880 forming the betting market in this spot now winning eight 1:12:39.960 --> 1:12:41.680 of his last nine fights. But this is what I like. 1:12:41.760 --> 1:12:45.479 It was a dog against Bivok, dog against Pavlovitch, dog 1:12:45.680 --> 1:12:50.519 even against Daleya opened the point flip against Gazebe, and 1:12:50.640 --> 1:12:53.000 obviously he was favored to beat Derek Lewis. But here's 1:12:53.000 --> 1:12:55.519 why I bring those prices up because we have a 1:12:55.600 --> 1:12:59.599 common opponent, and that's the Pavlovich fight. Both men opened 1:13:00.080 --> 1:13:02.679 at pretty much the same price, so the odds makers 1:13:02.800 --> 1:13:05.320 thought they should be about a two to one dog. 1:13:06.200 --> 1:13:08.880 The market thought about the same things. Not much money 1:13:09.000 --> 1:13:12.000 on either guy. Each closed about plus two hundred. So 1:13:12.080 --> 1:13:15.920 here's what I'm getting at. Vocolf gets to win against Pavlovich, 1:13:16.200 --> 1:13:19.639 Costa loses against Pavlovich, but the prices were the same. 1:13:19.720 --> 1:13:22.519 That's what sticks out to me. The odds makers agreed, 1:13:22.640 --> 1:13:26.000 and then we the market also agreed. The result is 1:13:26.600 --> 1:13:28.639 doesn't matter. They could have fought that three days later 1:13:28.840 --> 1:13:32.360 and a completely different outcome could have happened. It's not 1:13:32.439 --> 1:13:34.360 the result, it's the price that sticks out to me. 1:13:34.680 --> 1:13:37.840 So we all thought it's very similar, and I think 1:13:37.920 --> 1:13:40.800 stylistically Kenny will break it down better. But I think 1:13:40.840 --> 1:13:42.880 we're looking at more or less the same thing. For me, 1:13:43.080 --> 1:13:45.519 this is a lot closer to a coin flip. Another 1:13:45.600 --> 1:13:47.880 closer to a coin flip than one where side it 1:13:47.920 --> 1:13:50.599 should be two to one. Like vocolf I don't think 1:13:50.640 --> 1:13:52.679 he should be a two to one favorite at plus money. 1:13:52.760 --> 1:13:55.760 I like the Cortes side. I think this line's a 1:13:55.800 --> 1:13:57.960 little bit too high. So for me, I like the 1:13:58.360 --> 1:14:00.960 big guy to get the w can't flook ahead. 1:14:02.320 --> 1:14:04.760 Man. I love the breakdown, and I agree with you 1:14:04.920 --> 1:14:08.800 yet again here Yanni. I think Volkov. I love Volkov, 1:14:09.400 --> 1:14:11.800 the improvements that he's made of the course of his career, 1:14:11.880 --> 1:14:15.120 his size, all that stuff. You know, that quiet warrior vibe, 1:14:15.439 --> 1:14:19.599 that Russian stoic. He is a problem and he's extremely dangerous. 1:14:19.680 --> 1:14:23.479 The problem is, even in the fights that he looks great, 1:14:23.640 --> 1:14:26.519 there's always at least one or two strikes per round, 1:14:26.520 --> 1:14:28.879 where I'm like, he should not be taking those shots 1:14:29.560 --> 1:14:33.360 and fighting a guy like Waldo Cortez Acosta. He cannot 1:14:33.479 --> 1:14:35.800 allow Waldo Courts as a costa to land some of 1:14:35.880 --> 1:14:38.639 those shots because that might be the last one he takes. 1:14:39.080 --> 1:14:42.320 I think Acosta's got a great shot at winning, and 1:14:42.439 --> 1:14:46.680 maybe winning by knockout Volkov's defense. Sometimes there's a lot 1:14:46.720 --> 1:14:51.000 to be desired there. His offense is phenomenal, But how 1:14:51.120 --> 1:14:53.719 long is it going to be until Waldo Courts Acosta 1:14:53.760 --> 1:14:55.960 starts to find his rhythm in his timing and lands 1:14:56.000 --> 1:14:58.479 one of those big shots. So I think, without a 1:14:58.560 --> 1:15:02.000 doubt there's value on the Dominican for sure. So give 1:15:02.080 --> 1:15:04.040 me court to Zacosta, all right? 1:15:04.520 --> 1:15:07.840 Lot of agreement today. We'll see if that extends to 1:15:07.920 --> 1:15:09.640 the two title fights to close out the card at 1:15:09.720 --> 1:15:11.960 UFC three twenty eight, first of which will be for 1:15:12.040 --> 1:15:16.960 the undisputed UFC flyweight title. Tatsuro Tyro was north of 1:15:17.040 --> 1:15:19.719 two to one. He is now minus one sixty six 1:15:20.280 --> 1:15:23.120 as the betting favorite against the incumbent Joshua Van who 1:15:23.200 --> 1:15:26.120 is plus one forty. First title shot Yanni for Tyra 1:15:26.479 --> 1:15:29.160 first titled defense for the twenty four year old Joshua Van. 1:15:29.400 --> 1:15:32.080 This was initially slated to go down in Miami last month. 1:15:32.360 --> 1:15:36.120 Now it shall be done in Newark and we'll see 1:15:36.680 --> 1:15:39.120 which young guy emerges as the flyweight champion. I have 1:15:39.280 --> 1:15:40.920 no idea who's going to win this fight. The only 1:15:41.000 --> 1:15:43.559 thing that I believed was that Tyra would close as 1:15:43.560 --> 1:15:46.840 the betting favorite. Money has seemingly come in on Van. 1:15:46.920 --> 1:15:48.960 The price has come down a little bit. Yanni, the 1:15:49.040 --> 1:15:51.639 Greek who leaves Newark, New Jersey, is the unisputed UFC 1:15:51.760 --> 1:15:52.280 flyweight champ. 1:15:53.120 --> 1:15:55.760 Well, the books are always going to have the advantage 1:15:55.920 --> 1:15:59.599 over the better when fights get rebooked. Here's why they 1:15:59.640 --> 1:16:02.639 all read. You know, number one, what the sharp betterers 1:16:02.640 --> 1:16:04.280 are going to react, how they're going to react, and 1:16:04.360 --> 1:16:05.840 they know what the bunk it's going to do, how 1:16:05.880 --> 1:16:08.080 we're going to react to the price. So they have 1:16:08.240 --> 1:16:11.719 that advantage that we already bet into the Van versus 1:16:11.880 --> 1:16:14.280 t ear of mad Job. I was a little bit 1:16:14.320 --> 1:16:17.880 surprised that after we booken, since it was the Van 1:16:18.080 --> 1:16:21.679 side that had to pull out, that this line dropped 1:16:21.880 --> 1:16:25.120 so significantly to where you have now you know, tire 1:16:25.160 --> 1:16:29.120 around that one fifty one sixty range instead of moving 1:16:29.200 --> 1:16:32.479 the other way. But also rarely do you get where 1:16:32.520 --> 1:16:36.200 the challenger is favored over the title holder. But this 1:16:36.360 --> 1:16:38.599 is another example that we see in other sports all 1:16:38.640 --> 1:16:42.120 the time where the number you know three team is 1:16:42.200 --> 1:16:45.719 a dog to the number fifteen team. Why because power 1:16:45.800 --> 1:16:48.880 rating wise is all that matters to the odds maker. 1:16:49.200 --> 1:16:52.960 It's not about perception or narratives or anything like that. 1:16:53.520 --> 1:16:57.960 And what sticks out here is another situation, just like 1:16:58.040 --> 1:16:59.800 we touched on where we have a common opponent and 1:17:00.000 --> 1:17:02.880 I'm an opponent. Here is Ravov, both face for Evolve. 1:17:02.920 --> 1:17:06.240 The difference is Taira opened the two to one favorite. 1:17:06.400 --> 1:17:08.400 We the market bet him up to a three to 1:17:08.520 --> 1:17:11.720 one favorite, and he didn't get the w but we 1:17:11.880 --> 1:17:13.920 thought he wins that fight three out of four times. 1:17:14.320 --> 1:17:17.800 Everyone in Bob thought that flip side of that Van 1:17:17.920 --> 1:17:21.479 fights roy Va minus one twenty five favorite closed about 1:17:21.520 --> 1:17:25.080 minus one thirty right around where it opened, So the 1:17:25.160 --> 1:17:27.679 market all agreed he should win that fight about fifty 1:17:27.720 --> 1:17:30.080 five percent at a time, where we thought Tyra should 1:17:30.080 --> 1:17:33.120 win about seventy five percent at a time against Rayva. 1:17:33.760 --> 1:17:37.280 The difference is, again Van beats roy Va, Tyra doesn't 1:17:37.320 --> 1:17:42.160 beat ray vaugh The oddsmakers don't care about that single result. 1:17:42.360 --> 1:17:44.960 Once again, they're looking at the power ratings which have 1:17:45.360 --> 1:17:49.120 Taira above the Van side, and to me, that's what 1:17:49.280 --> 1:17:53.040 sticks out here. This one's still at flyway. Let's not forget. 1:17:53.600 --> 1:17:57.320 And we have another contrast to styles, with the striking 1:17:57.600 --> 1:18:01.599 of Van against the drappling of Tay. I don't think 1:18:02.040 --> 1:18:06.679 that Van's gonna have the advantages in the striking as 1:18:06.800 --> 1:18:10.439 great as the advantages Tierra is gonna have on the ground. 1:18:11.240 --> 1:18:14.040 That sticks out a lot to me. And I think 1:18:14.160 --> 1:18:17.040 even in the striking, you can't forget we're talking about flyways, 1:18:17.320 --> 1:18:20.080 and even though the narratives Van comes in packing power, 1:18:20.560 --> 1:18:24.240 he's right around that flyway average as far as finishing 1:18:24.479 --> 1:18:27.840 inside the distance in his UFC career, So it's not 1:18:28.000 --> 1:18:30.120 like he's a one shot knocked out power each and 1:18:30.160 --> 1:18:34.000 every fight. I think Tier is able to withstand any 1:18:34.120 --> 1:18:36.640 kind of danger from the Van stand up, and I 1:18:36.680 --> 1:18:38.400 think when he takes him down and you do see 1:18:38.439 --> 1:18:41.880 that he's levels above in the grappling, eventually he does 1:18:41.960 --> 1:18:45.320 get the takedown secures. You know, he's good with those triangles, 1:18:45.360 --> 1:18:48.719 good with taking the back. I like Taira here anything 1:18:48.800 --> 1:18:50.800 less than two to one. I think it's the right. 1:18:50.800 --> 1:18:54.720 Side, nicely laid out as usual. Yeah, Tatsurotira. Kenny also 1:18:54.760 --> 1:18:57.240 has just become a monster physically. I couldn't believe how 1:18:57.320 --> 1:19:00.400 good he looked, just in terms of the US and 1:19:00.479 --> 1:19:02.320 the strength and conditioning when he fought Brandon Moreno at 1:19:02.360 --> 1:19:04.800 UFC three twenty three, and that win kind of made 1:19:04.840 --> 1:19:07.839 him undeniable. He surpassed Manel cop in a lot of respects, 1:19:07.880 --> 1:19:11.760 and now the challenger is favored to become the undisputed 1:19:11.800 --> 1:19:15.400 Flyway champion. Joshua Van on the other side, trying to hold, 1:19:15.479 --> 1:19:17.840 serve and successfully defend the title. 1:19:17.920 --> 1:19:20.040 Kenfila, who do you like in the comin? Yeah, you know, 1:19:20.240 --> 1:19:23.000 first of all, a really interesting hearing Yanni attack it 1:19:23.040 --> 1:19:26.800 from that angle, I see it a little differently. Listen 1:19:26.880 --> 1:19:30.479 when when I got the initial odds from you last week, John, 1:19:30.600 --> 1:19:32.840 I was kind of licking my chops at plus one 1:19:32.960 --> 1:19:37.920 seventy for Joshua Van. After I started doing some video research, 1:19:38.600 --> 1:19:40.640 I thought it made a lot of sense. And then 1:19:40.720 --> 1:19:44.120 I started doing some video research and I started looking 1:19:44.200 --> 1:19:47.320 at Joshua Van, and I said, this guy might be 1:19:47.439 --> 1:19:50.360 the most underrated striker in the UFC right now. I 1:19:50.560 --> 1:19:54.200 think he is absolutely phenomenal. I think he might be 1:19:56.120 --> 1:19:59.240 first or second. I'm probably the second best combination puncher 1:19:59.320 --> 1:20:02.360 behind top at present moment. And you know how highly 1:20:02.800 --> 1:20:06.760 I hold Toporia as a striker. I think this is 1:20:06.960 --> 1:20:11.479 a very young and composed, technical striker who if you 1:20:11.600 --> 1:20:15.840 allow him to take advantage, he's gonna run away with it. 1:20:16.200 --> 1:20:20.800 I think he is nasty. I think he's dirty when 1:20:20.840 --> 1:20:23.639 he needs to. I think he's tough. I do think 1:20:23.720 --> 1:20:25.920 that Tyra will have the advantage if this fight hits 1:20:25.960 --> 1:20:28.400 the ground. I think he's very dangerous, but gonna gets 1:20:28.439 --> 1:20:32.200 a nice, stocky, tough, strong Joshua Van. I think Van 1:20:32.320 --> 1:20:35.920 can maybe survive some of those moments. Tyra is good 1:20:35.960 --> 1:20:38.360 at taking you down, but he's not a high level wrestler, 1:20:38.880 --> 1:20:42.640 and I like Joshua Van and those spots. Van is 1:20:43.720 --> 1:20:45.720 or might be one of those guys who can, in 1:20:45.840 --> 1:20:48.320 one camp learn how to get better when it comes 1:20:48.360 --> 1:20:51.880 to wrestling and grappling. He's a phenomenal athlete, dude. And 1:20:52.560 --> 1:20:55.320 I just came away more and more oppressed, more and 1:20:55.360 --> 1:20:57.880 more impressed with every fight that I saw from Joshua Van. 1:20:57.960 --> 1:21:00.479 I said, Gosh, what am I not seeing here? What 1:21:00.800 --> 1:21:03.479 are the odds makers not seeing here? And I see 1:21:03.640 --> 1:21:05.960 a lot of value with Joshua Van. I wish it 1:21:06.040 --> 1:21:08.320 was at plus one seventy. I think there's a reason 1:21:08.400 --> 1:21:12.280 why that that price is coming down. And boy, I 1:21:12.400 --> 1:21:14.960 think not only can Joshua Van win this fight, I 1:21:15.000 --> 1:21:17.160 think there's potential for him to get Tyra out of 1:21:17.160 --> 1:21:20.400 there within three rounds. I think he's that good. Tyra 1:21:20.560 --> 1:21:22.040 needs to get off to a good start. I think 1:21:22.120 --> 1:21:24.560 Tyra needs to win this fight early, similar to that 1:21:24.680 --> 1:21:27.439 one punch knockout. He needs to take Van's back early. 1:21:27.840 --> 1:21:29.960 Get them when you know they're a little dry, get 1:21:30.000 --> 1:21:33.679 it when when he's feeling fresh. Tyra has made great 1:21:33.720 --> 1:21:37.360 strides with his striking, utilizing more long range strikes. I 1:21:37.400 --> 1:21:40.080 think he's getting better in regards to his conditioning. He 1:21:40.160 --> 1:21:42.920 does look stronger, John, I agree with you there absolutely. 1:21:43.160 --> 1:21:45.120 The fact that he's doing more of his camps here 1:21:45.160 --> 1:21:49.120 in the States, I think good sign there. And he's 1:21:49.160 --> 1:21:51.280 an impressive fighter, there is no question about it. One 1:21:51.320 --> 1:21:53.160 of the most impressive fighters that I've seen come out 1:21:53.200 --> 1:21:55.920 of Japan in a long time. I just think Joshua 1:21:56.080 --> 1:21:58.400 Van is built a little different. 1:21:59.479 --> 1:22:02.439 Tremendous co main event breakdown by both gentlemen, and we'll 1:22:02.479 --> 1:22:05.479 see who ends up winning the flyweight title fight this 1:22:05.560 --> 1:22:07.479 weekend at UFC three twenty eight. That brings us to 1:22:07.520 --> 1:22:09.040 the main event, kemp fl will have you lead us 1:22:09.080 --> 1:22:12.840 here for the undisputed midweight title commaia of minus five 1:22:13.040 --> 1:22:17.479 thirty five Sean Strickland plus four hundred first title defense 1:22:17.520 --> 1:22:19.840 for the still undefeated Chimaya have he only turned thirty 1:22:19.880 --> 1:22:23.360 two last Friday, May first, fifteen to zero not to 1:22:23.520 --> 1:22:26.120 zero in the UFC A force unlike anything we have 1:22:26.200 --> 1:22:28.280 seen in the fight game, Kenny, and he is trying 1:22:28.400 --> 1:22:31.040 to leave Newark, New Jersey the way he arrives at 1:22:31.040 --> 1:22:34.120 the undisputed Midway Champion. How to handicap the main event? 1:22:34.960 --> 1:22:35.160 Man? 1:22:35.520 --> 1:22:38.400 Is this fight good? It has everything? And it just 1:22:38.520 --> 1:22:40.760 a testament to the kind of star that Chimaya have 1:22:41.000 --> 1:22:44.200 is because every time he's on a pay review card, 1:22:44.360 --> 1:22:47.720 it just feels a little different. I think he's that 1:22:47.840 --> 1:22:51.799 big of a star, and man, I think he's probably 1:22:51.960 --> 1:22:55.479 gotten even hungrier as champion in a lot of ways. 1:22:56.240 --> 1:22:59.120 You know when you started to become a champion, and 1:22:59.200 --> 1:23:01.400 I felt this when I was getting close to those 1:23:01.479 --> 1:23:05.640 opportunities for myself is the big advantage to me is 1:23:05.720 --> 1:23:09.080 that you get more resources, so then you can invest 1:23:09.160 --> 1:23:11.960 even more in yourself. And Chimaya's making a lot of 1:23:12.040 --> 1:23:16.120 money now and he's bringing in Olympic wrestling champs. He's 1:23:16.560 --> 1:23:20.200 he's flying here, He's flying guys in like this is 1:23:20.280 --> 1:23:23.160 a case of kind of the stronger getting stronger, right 1:23:23.280 --> 1:23:26.559 or the rich getting richer. Chimayav is kind of doing 1:23:26.640 --> 1:23:29.200 that with his camps. I think he's gonna continue to 1:23:29.280 --> 1:23:33.400 get better. And Strickland is also a problem. Who's gonna 1:23:33.439 --> 1:23:37.840 know Chimayev and maybe certain vulnerabilities better than someone like 1:23:37.880 --> 1:23:41.840 Sean Strickland. Sean Strickland is different than Drinka's duplici in that, 1:23:42.360 --> 1:23:45.880 in my opinion, he's better at scrambling to his feet. 1:23:46.640 --> 1:23:49.160 He might get taken down, but he's very good at 1:23:49.200 --> 1:23:52.519 getting right back to his feet, and that's where he 1:23:52.600 --> 1:23:56.920 could potentially tire out someone like Chimayah. Now, Chimayav I 1:23:57.000 --> 1:24:01.320 thought paced himself extremely well. Really, he was very calculated 1:24:01.400 --> 1:24:05.200 in how he approached Strick's duplicity. He showed that he 1:24:05.360 --> 1:24:11.480 can be an emotionally intelligent guy and not get overtaken 1:24:11.560 --> 1:24:13.800 by the moment or get frustrated if you know he 1:24:13.920 --> 1:24:16.800 had his moment to finish and you know the round ends, 1:24:17.000 --> 1:24:19.120 or you know his opponent get back to his feet 1:24:19.360 --> 1:24:24.400 like he was extremely efficient and composed throughout those twenty 1:24:24.479 --> 1:24:28.479 five minutes. That gave me more confidence in Timid, but 1:24:29.240 --> 1:24:32.360 Strickland I think is a threat. I don't know if 1:24:32.400 --> 1:24:35.280 it's you know, juicy enough for me to lay down 1:24:35.360 --> 1:24:39.360 money on Strickland. It might be. I think people are 1:24:39.439 --> 1:24:42.680 counting out Strickland perhaps a little bit too much here. 1:24:43.680 --> 1:24:47.679 But I do think Chimia is one of those rare 1:24:47.760 --> 1:24:51.280 athletes that comes around only once in a long while, 1:24:51.640 --> 1:24:55.240 and he's undefeated for a reason. He brings a level 1:24:55.280 --> 1:24:59.439 of talent and tenacity that I think is rare, even 1:24:59.479 --> 1:25:03.280 amongst all the dangerous men that have fought inside the octagon. 1:25:03.720 --> 1:25:06.240 I think he's that special, and I think Chimayev will 1:25:06.280 --> 1:25:08.400 retain his belt. I don't know if he's able to 1:25:08.439 --> 1:25:12.040 get Strickland out of there, but if he does, I 1:25:12.120 --> 1:25:13.920 think it just shows how good he is. Because there's 1:25:13.960 --> 1:25:15.800 not a whole lot of people that can stop someone 1:25:15.840 --> 1:25:19.040 like Sean Strickland. But Chimaia, I do think he's got 1:25:19.120 --> 1:25:24.160 the grappling firepower. I also think he might have the 1:25:24.200 --> 1:25:26.160 striking power as well. I don't think he wants to 1:25:26.200 --> 1:25:30.639 get into like a combination exchanges with Strickland. That's where 1:25:30.640 --> 1:25:32.880 he can find himself in trouble, especially maybe later on 1:25:33.000 --> 1:25:38.600 in the fight. But I expect another very technical, calculated 1:25:38.640 --> 1:25:42.240 performance from Hamzat Chimai. If I think, I think, and still. 1:25:42.760 --> 1:25:45.360 Janni the Great Kamsa Chimi minus five thirty five Sean 1:25:45.360 --> 1:25:48.400 Strickland is plus four hundred tenth UFC headlining spot for 1:25:48.439 --> 1:25:51.280 Strickland his fourth UFC title fight. How do you see 1:25:51.320 --> 1:25:52.679 the main event playing out, my good man. 1:25:53.080 --> 1:25:56.760 Well, I'm interested to see when the recreational betters get 1:25:56.840 --> 1:25:58.679 to the window, what this line's going to do, because 1:25:58.680 --> 1:26:02.519 so far we've seen zero resistance, meaning usually you'll see 1:26:02.560 --> 1:26:05.400 some take back on the dog when the line moves 1:26:05.479 --> 1:26:08.719 this significantly because we've seen Chamaiev opened minus three fifty, 1:26:09.240 --> 1:26:11.880 get the four fifty up the five point fifty and 1:26:12.560 --> 1:26:16.240 zero resistance so far. So if you're going to be 1:26:16.280 --> 1:26:18.760 betting the Strickling side, I don't think there's any rush 1:26:18.840 --> 1:26:21.360 to get to the window because you're only seeing the 1:26:21.439 --> 1:26:25.920 line move in one direction. Now, the problem is betting Chimayev. 1:26:26.360 --> 1:26:28.439 How much further is this line going to move? Like 1:26:28.520 --> 1:26:30.439 for me to get down on Chamaiev right now, I 1:26:30.520 --> 1:26:33.240 got to think it's closes minus seven seven fifty eight 1:26:33.360 --> 1:26:36.040 hundred to conclude that I placed a good bet that 1:26:36.120 --> 1:26:40.800 I got good closing line value. Otherwise I'm trying to 1:26:41.120 --> 1:26:43.479 predict the outcome and you're just not going to make 1:26:43.479 --> 1:26:46.400 any money doing that. On the flip side with Stricklin, 1:26:47.200 --> 1:26:49.840 if you get down now and the line keeps moving 1:26:50.040 --> 1:26:52.439 against you like it's doing but kind of being your 1:26:52.520 --> 1:26:57.759 favor if you're taking the dog like unless it closes 1:26:57.880 --> 1:27:00.559 back down three three fifty, you're not going to get 1:27:00.560 --> 1:27:05.040 closing line value there either. So that's where the situation. 1:27:05.160 --> 1:27:09.280 We get to these big chalky matchups. The narrative is 1:27:09.320 --> 1:27:11.400 gonna get pushed, and I'm starting to hear it that 1:27:11.520 --> 1:27:14.240 Strickland's live, and I think you're gonna see a lot 1:27:14.280 --> 1:27:19.080 of betters argue that point that chimaiev'st with the cardio 1:27:19.840 --> 1:27:24.160 and Strickland's wrestling defense and it's gonna be able to 1:27:24.240 --> 1:27:26.040 not get controlled and get back like. We're gonna hear 1:27:26.080 --> 1:27:27.560 a lot of that dr in this week and I 1:27:27.600 --> 1:27:29.920 think you're gonna see some Strickland money come in, and 1:27:30.040 --> 1:27:32.519 I hope that's the case because I like the youmaya 1:27:32.520 --> 1:27:37.720 have side. Again, what how much room do we have 1:27:38.320 --> 1:27:42.280 for value? Because when you're talking about minus five thirty fives, 1:27:42.360 --> 1:27:46.759 five fifties, the money line is eighty four eighty five percent, 1:27:46.880 --> 1:27:49.680 that's the break even, so for us to think it's 1:27:49.720 --> 1:27:52.599 a good bet, I now got to conclude chimaiav wins 1:27:52.680 --> 1:27:55.559 the fight nine out of ten times, and again it's 1:27:55.640 --> 1:27:59.599 hard to get there when you get to the UFC level. 1:28:00.960 --> 1:28:05.720 The problem is, again he's just so levels ahead when 1:28:05.760 --> 1:28:08.639 you get to the Gramplin. We've seen that and it's 1:28:08.760 --> 1:28:11.960 just hard to fade him. And I love seeing any 1:28:12.040 --> 1:28:15.400 athlete in any sport who's that dominant when you know 1:28:15.439 --> 1:28:17.120 what they're gonna do and you still can't do anything 1:28:17.120 --> 1:28:20.599 about it. And we know from these guys training together 1:28:21.600 --> 1:28:24.160 that to you, mine have obviously got the best of it. 1:28:24.280 --> 1:28:26.400 And what I also didn't like, and I try to 1:28:26.479 --> 1:28:31.679 separate noise from signal, but I saw in an instance 1:28:32.120 --> 1:28:34.519 that I didn't like the lack of confidence. I know 1:28:34.600 --> 1:28:37.200 we're hearing the right things from from Strickland, but I 1:28:37.360 --> 1:28:39.920 saw this one, and I try to avoid that stuff, John, 1:28:40.080 --> 1:28:44.920 But I saw this one second where Ilia Tupuria was 1:28:45.040 --> 1:28:48.360 what Aiden Ross and Aiden say he's gonna bet fifty 1:28:48.520 --> 1:28:53.519 dimes on Strickland and they called Strickland and Strickland's response was, 1:28:54.240 --> 1:28:57.839 you're rich. It don't matter, Bro, that's the wrong answer. 1:29:00.080 --> 1:29:03.720 John Anne calls me and says, hey, Dana heard your 1:29:04.160 --> 1:29:06.360 advanced blackjack player. He's gonna put up fifty dimes. He 1:29:06.360 --> 1:29:08.479 wants you to come play blackjack. Dude, I'm gonna say, 1:29:08.560 --> 1:29:11.040 bring the camera because I'm about to spice them up. 1:29:11.439 --> 1:29:14.640 You're about to watch the man chop up the blackjack 1:29:14.760 --> 1:29:16.160 table like never before. 1:29:16.760 --> 1:29:17.880 That's what I was saying. 1:29:18.080 --> 1:29:21.000 I wouldn't say that. If I lose his fifty dimes, 1:29:21.040 --> 1:29:24.640 he's not good kick Again. I try to separate the 1:29:24.760 --> 1:29:28.000 noise from the signal, But to me, that was signal. 1:29:28.439 --> 1:29:31.160 And I like Jamiah. I like Jamiah big here. The 1:29:31.240 --> 1:29:33.360 only problem is is gonna get down to that minus 1:29:33.439 --> 1:29:35.760 four four fifty range that I need to bet him? 1:29:35.920 --> 1:29:38.120 I don't think so. So I'm gonna have to get 1:29:38.160 --> 1:29:39.920 creative and I'm gonna have to find a way to 1:29:40.000 --> 1:29:41.840 bet him. John haven't gotten there. Yet. But here's what 1:29:41.920 --> 1:29:45.200 I'll share. Both main event Cohen events are three and 1:29:45.280 --> 1:29:47.160 a half. That's the total. Here's the problem I have 1:29:47.600 --> 1:29:49.880 if you've done nothing else as a better if you've 1:29:49.960 --> 1:29:51.960 only woke up on Saturday and you looked at them 1:29:52.120 --> 1:29:54.639 at the totals and you sold three and a half 1:29:54.760 --> 1:29:57.120 or four and a half, If you've blindly gone over 1:29:57.360 --> 1:29:59.559 every three and a half and every four and a half, 1:29:59.560 --> 1:30:02.840 Availa to you, you will have made a double digit 1:30:03.080 --> 1:30:07.040 return on investment betting the UFC. And it makes sense 1:30:07.160 --> 1:30:11.880 because the markets bias towards unders. It's bias towards finishes, 1:30:12.240 --> 1:30:13.800 just like we knew for a long time in the 1:30:13.960 --> 1:30:17.280 NFL the bias was towards over in totals, so they 1:30:17.320 --> 1:30:20.080 were jacked up a little higher. There's still that bias 1:30:20.160 --> 1:30:22.439 in the MMA where we want to see finishes. So 1:30:22.600 --> 1:30:24.240 those three and a halfs, those four and a half, 1:30:24.800 --> 1:30:29.200 I like to bet those overs. But again in these 1:30:29.360 --> 1:30:33.639 matchups it just doesn't set up well. But me, it's 1:30:33.760 --> 1:30:37.000 Chimaya or pass and I just hope the price drops 1:30:37.000 --> 1:30:40.479 so I could get a bet on them. But again 1:30:40.520 --> 1:30:42.760 I don't want to go along take time. But I'll 1:30:42.760 --> 1:30:45.120 share this if you're ever giving out picks. You want 1:30:45.160 --> 1:30:47.040 to give the dog like you're not going to get 1:30:47.080 --> 1:30:50.519 any right return on your money saying bet Chimaya. But 1:30:50.640 --> 1:30:52.519 you go out there and you say Stricklands a lot 1:30:52.760 --> 1:30:55.599 and a plus four hundred wins. You know you look great, 1:30:55.920 --> 1:30:58.600 so there's no lass in saying the Stricklands side. But no, no, 1:30:58.720 --> 1:31:01.360 no no, we keep it on your show. Brother, I 1:31:01.520 --> 1:31:04.519 like Youamaya four to fifty or better. That's the side 1:31:04.560 --> 1:31:05.599 plus ev all day. 1:31:05.960 --> 1:31:09.320 You're the man. And it's interesting when you think about 1:31:09.400 --> 1:31:12.360 some of those over three and a half numbers because 1:31:12.360 --> 1:31:14.840 as a commentator for fifteen years, man, it feels like 1:31:14.840 --> 1:31:16.600 a lot of these championship main events go at the 1:31:16.640 --> 1:31:17.679 distance for whatever. 1:31:18.240 --> 1:31:18.840 That is worth. 1:31:18.880 --> 1:31:21.000 All right, time to place your bets. You each get 1:31:21.040 --> 1:31:24.759 three thousand dollars for UFC three twenty eight chimayab versus Strickland. 1:31:24.800 --> 1:31:27.280 Last time Yanni the Greek was with us, he returned 1:31:27.320 --> 1:31:29.479 you about eight hundred dollars to the positive a UFC 1:31:29.600 --> 1:31:32.320 three twenty seven. Last week for Ken Flow, he put 1:31:32.360 --> 1:31:35.800 his entire one thousand dollars on Carlos protests, so he 1:31:35.920 --> 1:31:39.040 is feeling pretty good as well. Yanni the Greek three 1:31:39.240 --> 1:31:41.599 bands with which to play for UFC three twenty eight. 1:31:42.240 --> 1:31:44.640 Yeah, and it's so important to me to be profitable 1:31:44.840 --> 1:31:47.800 that I have to do this professionally like it was 1:31:47.920 --> 1:31:50.599 for the first season or two on the line. Yeah, 1:31:50.680 --> 1:31:53.519 I didn't parlay. I did it like a pro because 1:31:53.520 --> 1:31:56.160 I had to prove I could be profitable. So still 1:31:56.240 --> 1:31:58.519 have to do that here on the album Florian Show. 1:31:58.800 --> 1:32:01.280 So we're gonna be Robot. Gonna start off with my 1:32:01.439 --> 1:32:05.200 first bet and that's to Soro Taira minus one sixty six. 1:32:05.400 --> 1:32:07.519 Gonna put eight thirty to win five hundred. 1:32:07.880 --> 1:32:08.080 Yep. 1:32:08.960 --> 1:32:12.960 I know it's a lot to fade the champ, especially 1:32:13.040 --> 1:32:16.519 at plus money. I know why it's attractive to Kenny, 1:32:17.280 --> 1:32:19.120 but I gotta go with Tierra, Like I made my 1:32:19.200 --> 1:32:21.080 true line closer to two hundred, so I got it 1:32:21.160 --> 1:32:22.240 back that with my cash. 1:32:24.080 --> 1:32:26.439 All right, Next up thirty yep, go ahead, yep. 1:32:26.680 --> 1:32:30.280 Eight thirty. Rate them all off at once, Johnny, Yeah, 1:32:30.320 --> 1:32:32.320 go ahead, my man. All right, I'll make the big 1:32:32.400 --> 1:32:34.639 ones first eight thirty to win five hundred on Taira. 1:32:34.960 --> 1:32:38.960 Then euroslav Amasov at minus one seventy once again, I'm 1:32:38.960 --> 1:32:41.599 gonna put eight fifty to win five hundred. I love 1:32:41.680 --> 1:32:43.640 the guy. I think the best prospect to come out 1:32:43.680 --> 1:32:46.240 of Bellator that doesn't get the hype. He deserves only 1:32:46.360 --> 1:32:48.600 one pro loss. You know what you're getting from the 1:32:48.720 --> 1:32:51.840 Ukrainian World, Sambo Champ. I think he gets the job done. 1:32:51.920 --> 1:32:54.200 Alvarez coming in on that hot streak and being the 1:32:54.280 --> 1:32:56.519 killer is why we don't have to pay minus three 1:32:56.600 --> 1:32:58.519 hundred on this. This should be minus three hundred. He 1:32:58.520 --> 1:33:00.320 wins this fight three out of four times, I'll bet 1:33:00.360 --> 1:33:03.040 a fifty to win five hundred. And then Grant Dawson 1:33:03.320 --> 1:33:07.000 coming off a knockout loss like that a little dangerous, 1:33:07.080 --> 1:33:11.519 but that's why we're getting him discounted here against Rebeccy. 1:33:12.400 --> 1:33:14.840 When I zoom out, I see nothing but w's for 1:33:15.000 --> 1:33:17.479 the Dawson side three and one is last for eleven 1:33:17.560 --> 1:33:19.360 two and one in the UFC. I'm gonna lay that 1:33:19.400 --> 1:33:22.080 one sixty lane eight hundred to win five hundred. So 1:33:22.160 --> 1:33:24.680 that's three favorites and I got two small dogs for you. 1:33:25.160 --> 1:33:28.120 Cost Cortes a costat plus one forty two. I explained 1:33:28.120 --> 1:33:30.760 the reasons why there. I think he's live. I love 1:33:30.840 --> 1:33:33.479 that Kenny agrees too. If I knew before the show. 1:33:33.520 --> 1:33:35.360 I'd have been had a bigger bet on him. That's 1:33:35.439 --> 1:33:38.479 two sixty three sixty nine. And now that I know 1:33:38.600 --> 1:33:40.880 Kenny also likes the Buckley side, this would have been 1:33:40.920 --> 1:33:43.720 a bigger bet also, But I thought it's closer to 1:33:43.760 --> 1:33:45.840 a coin flip. So at plus one fifty four, I'll 1:33:45.840 --> 1:33:48.960 put two sixty to win four hundred there. So Acosta, 1:33:49.040 --> 1:33:52.639 Cortes and Cortes a Costa forgive me and Joaquin Buckley 1:33:52.680 --> 1:33:55.519 are the two dogs each for two sixty, and that 1:33:55.720 --> 1:33:58.679 eats up my whole three dimes. John, not even a parlay, 1:33:58.760 --> 1:34:01.800 not even gonna waste it on parlane this week. 1:34:02.080 --> 1:34:02.960 I love listening to you. 1:34:03.120 --> 1:34:05.240 I'm very excited that you're gonna be doing a live 1:34:05.360 --> 1:34:07.519 remote for UFC three twenty eight, because I know some 1:34:07.600 --> 1:34:10.160 of those opportunities have been few and far between. Ken 1:34:10.280 --> 1:34:13.960 Flow three thousand dollars suspended, UFC three twenty eight, where. 1:34:13.800 --> 1:34:17.719 We go, Yeah, so we're gonna sprinkle just a lit 1:34:17.880 --> 1:34:19.880 a bit of money, just one hundred bucks on Jeremy 1:34:19.920 --> 1:34:24.280 Stevens hundred bucks just to win a little little and 1:34:24.479 --> 1:34:29.400 then we're gonna put, uh what I have, fourteen one hundred, 1:34:29.479 --> 1:34:33.040 is that right?

Alvarez, I think he's a fantastic fighter, 1:34:41.560 --> 1:34:44.720 but Amasoff, I think is a fantastic fighter with a 1:34:44.800 --> 1:34:47.920 ton of experience. And people aren't onto him yet, but 1:34:48.000 --> 1:34:51.680 I think they will after Saturday and then so that 1:34:51.840 --> 1:34:54.760 that's fifteen hundred, and then the rest is gonna go on. 1:34:54.960 --> 1:34:59.599 My guy Van Joshua Van, Wow, No, thanks, gonna get juicy. 1:34:59.600 --> 1:35:01.839 We're gonna put the rest of the one thousand. 1:35:02.520 --> 1:35:05.880 Is that no, fifteen hundred dollars wall upon event? 1:35:06.080 --> 1:35:09.200 Yeah, yeah, there you go, yeah, fifteen So uh yeah, 1:35:09.320 --> 1:35:09.680 let's go. 1:35:10.320 --> 1:35:12.360 Well, I can tell you guys now that when I'm 1:35:12.400 --> 1:35:14.400 calling the Comaine event this weekend, I'm gonna be thinking 1:35:14.400 --> 1:35:16.080 of Yanni the gree Krelis, and I'm gonna be thinking 1:35:16.080 --> 1:35:18.240 about Kenny Floran because you guys are on different sides. 1:35:18.880 --> 1:35:22.880 Yes, if you look at your screen as we speak 1:35:23.200 --> 1:35:26.720 right now, it's exactly ten thirty five am Pacific time, 1:35:27.080 --> 1:35:32.360 with Kenny confirming to me the Amassol side, that screen 1:35:32.479 --> 1:35:36.680 probably just lit up.
