Let's start at the top, 56 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 2: Isla Mahachev, Charles Oliver, the vacant lightweight title, the champion's 57 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 2: name used to be Doe Bronx. We're gonna find out 58 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 2: what happens when, for the first time in UFC history, 59 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 2: two fighters riding a ten fight wind streak get together. Eric, 60 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 2: you've heard a lot of bullshit reviews this week. In fact, 61 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 2: there's some MA journalists run around using alchemy and magic 62 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: to try to predict two wins. 63 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: Up. 64 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: He's an award winning guy, but he's still an asshole. 65 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 2: Let's get to you on the real x's and o's. 66 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,839 Speaker 2: When you look at Mahachev versus Olivera, what is the 67 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 2: most important factor that's going to decide who's wearing that 68 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 2: belt comes Saturday night. 69 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 5: Oh? 70 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 4: I mean this is a NERD's delight when it comes 71 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 4: to the grappling department, because you're looking at two different 72 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 4: ideologies in the in the in the grappling game, you're 73 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: looking at a guy in Islam who likes to kill 74 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 4: the bottom leg, get his wrist, rides his pins. He's 75 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 4: kind of the anti jiu jitsu guy, if you will. 76 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 4: And then you have a guy in Charles Oliveria who 77 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 4: can smit you from anywhere. So I think that matchup 78 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 4: for me is very intriguing because I like to see 79 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 4: how both guys attack this and play this. If you 80 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 4: ask me about the striking department, I'm going to give 81 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 4: an edge to Olivera and just what he's done as 82 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: of late, I think his striking is a little bit crisp, 83 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: a little bit more smooth that in those areas, whereas 84 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: Islam uses is striking very well to set up his 85 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 4: body locks and his fit in So this is a 86 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 4: chess match for me. 87 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: I think the if you talk to the betting line, 88 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 3: I think it's a little wide. 89 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 4: I would actually have favored Olivera in this matchup just 90 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 4: because of this skill set. But when you really break 91 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: this fight down, guys, I feel like OLIVERA has more 92 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 4: tools to win this fight, whereas Islam is going to 93 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: be more of that you know, fastball type pitch. 94 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: And we know it's going to be coming. 95 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 1: All right, coach, let's talk about the wrestling, I think, 96 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: because that's going to be the place where a lot 97 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: of this is negotiated. Now, two questions are I guess 98 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: two parts of the same question. One, if you were 99 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: advising Islam about the best way to get his game 100 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: going with the takedowns, what would you advise him? And 101 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: then sort of second part of that, we do know 102 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 1: that he tends to like the body locks. James blavera 103 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: is he does have offense in the clinch as well? 104 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: What will that space look like? So two parter are 105 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: there so great? 106 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 4: Great Creston and I think you have to utilize a 107 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: little bit of a cage to your advantage if you're Islam. 108 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 4: And what do I mean by that is, when you 109 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 4: score those takedowns, you want to use that cage as 110 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: kind of this inaminated object to where he can't roll 111 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 4: over to his back or utilize it. You want to 112 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 4: keep Charles's feet off the cage obviously so he has 113 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 4: no wallwalk, but the cage can be to your advantage 114 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 4: too as the guy taking people down. Now, I want 115 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 4: you guys to understand something why I like the bodylock 116 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,359 Speaker 4: a lot for even for my fighters, is especially for 117 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 4: a guy like Charles olivera who has no problem jumping 118 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 4: on your neck at any moment. You don't want to 119 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 4: hang your neck into in that guillotine line. But what 120 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 4: the bodylock allows you to do is kind of that 121 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 4: air chair and step over and keep your head out 122 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 4: of any danger from the guillotine. But what it also does, 123 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 4: and I think it's very important to understand, when you 124 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 4: have a guy like Islam, when you want to be 125 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: anti wrestling or anti jiu jitsu, within that takedown, you're 126 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 4: gonna get legs tied up. You're gonna get into a 127 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 4: splitting pin or a half guard or a top turk 128 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 4: where you can kill a leg, and I think that's 129 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 4: gonna be very important for Islam. And I have a 130 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 4: couple of things with the Charles verisaid, and I'll explain 131 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: that later too, But in the in those transitions, I 132 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:12,120 Speaker 4: think it's important to slow down is Charles's scrambling abilities, 133 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 4: and by doing so, that body lock and split in 134 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 4: the legs is going to be very, very important for Islam. 135 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 2: Eric, there's so there's so much here to look at. 136 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,720 Speaker 2: It's such a great it's such an evenly matched fight, 137 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 2: but their their styles contrast so well. I've said it 138 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: all week, I could I could see either guy dominating 139 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 2: this fight, as crazy as that sounds, because their style 140 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 2: or Charles's ability to lure you into chaos is just insane. 141 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: It's unmatched. But if you're skeptical of who Islam has 142 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 2: fought up to this point, and if he's you know, 143 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 2: even hear Charles saying you only got this fight because 144 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 2: of Habib, a lot of you know, a lot of nonsense. Anyway, 145 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: they're fighting on Saturday. What would be the defense for Okay, 146 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: we haven't seen Islam maybe beat a string of top 147 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,559 Speaker 2: five guys, but what have we seen that could allow 148 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: you to be confident that he can elevate his style 149 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 2: and his game plan to this level against an opponent 150 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: is dangerous and historically hot. As OLIVERA, Well. 151 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 4: It's not Islam's fault for who he's fought, but what 152 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 4: he has done in his body of work has shown 153 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 4: I think the idea that this guy can be championed 154 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 4: for a long time. Right, you know, he didn't put 155 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 4: those people in front of him. He just did what 156 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 4: he had to do to win. But now starts that stretch. 157 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: Right. 158 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 4: We can't worry about who he fought in the resume now, 159 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: but he's deserved this title fight and we're going to 160 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 4: see on Saturday if he belongs there, and I think 161 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 4: he does. I think everybody that has been doubting him 162 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 4: because of that that that past resume, They're going to 163 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 4: see what he's capable of on Saturday, and we might 164 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 4: see a long stretch of Islam Makischev is the champion 165 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 4: at one fifty five. 166 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 3: It's a great possibility. 167 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: Coach. One of the things that's interesting about you mentioned 168 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: some of the scrambling from Charles Olavera. One of the 169 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: things that's really interesting, and you're going through the tape. 170 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: Saw it in the Kevin Lee fight a little bit 171 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 1: in the Chandler fight, he's one of the very few 172 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: guys who does da la Heava guard where he weaves 173 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the outside leg and then between the other ones. Told 174 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000 Speaker 1: you like a far side daily Eva. You just don't. 175 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: You just don't really see a lot of guys using 176 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: daily Eva. Why does he get away with it and 177 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: what is the value of it? 178 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 4: Honestly, I think because he's such a specialty guy. And 179 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: that's a great point, Luke, and I think that, like 180 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 4: there's guys in the gym, even like Max Roscoff, and 181 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: guys that like it right now in the UFC, like 182 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 4: did the Damien Mayas, that if they have a failed shot, 183 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 4: they have another go to. We see Damien Maya drop 184 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: the deep path guard because he's so efficient and so 185 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 4: good there. The Della Diva might be Charles Olivera's deep path, 186 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 4: if you will. He might be so comfortable, such a 187 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 4: specialist there that he knows if I have a failed 188 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 4: shot or if I can't score this takedown here, I 189 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: can go to certain chains of transitions that I feel 190 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: comfortable with, and that to me will be the wrinkle 191 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 4: in this fight. 192 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:49,640 Speaker 3: Luke. 193 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,959 Speaker 4: I really feel like if Charles Olivera wants to make 194 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 4: this a scramble. Why not shoot your own takedown? Why 195 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,079 Speaker 4: not try to put Islam Kachef on his back? Why 196 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 4: not incite some of these scrambles. I know it sounds crazy, guys, 197 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 4: but where is Charles Olivera his most dangerous and that 198 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: is the transitional submission game. So if he shoots in 199 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 4: on Islam, and let's say he does score a takedown, 200 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 4: but if Islam, chances are is going to be able 201 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 4: to get back up. It's within that transition where your 202 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 4: neck is in play, the dars chokes are in play, 203 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 4: the triangle chokes, the jump in the back, those things 204 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 4: now become in play. 205 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 3: So why not try to go put Islam. 206 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,800 Speaker 4: On his back, not to hold him down, not to 207 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 4: try to keep him on the ground, but get those 208 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 4: transitional submissions in play. And just like you said, Luke, 209 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: he has those sweeps he has in his arsenal. I 210 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 4: think that's something you might see out of him on Saturday. 211 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: You know, is it dangerous? 212 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: Eric? From a coach's perspective, to hear Olivera talk so 213 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: much about you know, I'm gonna finish him in the 214 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,720 Speaker 2: first round, meaning you know, this is a guy that doesn't, 215 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: you know, meaning Mahachev that doesn't regularly get into highlight 216 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: level back and forth exchanges on the feet. He's using 217 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 2: his striking to set up the takedown. You know, there 218 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: are questions of what this fight looks like in round 219 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 2: four or five at that point, has there been enough 220 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,839 Speaker 2: grappling to remove the gas tank in the direction of 221 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 2: Olivera but maybe even a madjev If this is a high, 222 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 2: high paced fight from the Olivera standpoint, are you zeroing 223 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 2: in on hitting that chin in the first round and 224 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,960 Speaker 2: that's your only focus outside of keeping your back off 225 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: the canvas? 226 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think because he is such a sharp shooter, 227 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,080 Speaker 4: and maybe this is a little bit of gaman shit. 228 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 4: Maybe he's wanting him to feel like he's gonna come 229 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 4: out and bang, and maybe they're just sending that message 230 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 4: out there. But I think I think Olivera, from what 231 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 4: I've seen all fight we BC and I don't want 232 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 4: to strade the course. I feel like body language and 233 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: the perception that I'm getting from him is he's he's 234 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 4: confident in. 235 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: The good way. 236 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 4: It's not like he's he's he's doing this to kind 237 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 4: of you know, boast. I feel like he's just actually 238 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 4: very confident in his skill set, and a confident fighter 239 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 4: is a dangerous one. So good on him for feeling 240 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 4: like he can go out there and put him away. 241 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 4: All signs point that it's probably gonna be pretty difficult, 242 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 4: but I like the fact that he's confident in that 243 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: in that area. 244 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 1: Let's talk about the striking here a little bit, right, Like, 245 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: there's just no doubt overall OLIVERA is a better striker, 246 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 1: and more to the point, just a more lethal one, 247 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: Like he just does a lot more damage with it. 248 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: But let's play the other side here a little bit. 249 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: It's like, on the one hand, Olivera also is vulnerable. 250 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 1: He tends to get hit, you know enough in fights 251 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,079 Speaker 1: where it creates some uncertainty. On the other hand, it's 252 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: not like Islam is a get get after it kind 253 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:32,439 Speaker 1: of type on the feet either. Let's assume it plays 254 00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: out on the feet for a round. What does it 255 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: look like? 256 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,599 Speaker 4: I think a lot of pool counters. I think what 257 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: what for Olivera? He's he's he reminds me of just 258 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 4: an effortless sniper. It doesn't look like he has to 259 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,959 Speaker 4: chamber much when he hits his back foot. 260 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 3: That cross is coming. 261 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 4: I mean, it's his picture perfect form, the way he throws, 262 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 4: so I think that he might be able to draw 263 00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 4: out some Islam's power. And when you talk about out 264 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,679 Speaker 4: of the open stance right hitting forty five degree angles 265 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: on your half beat corners, that will help you take 266 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: advantage of those slip counters to be out of range, 267 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 4: but to also be. 268 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 3: Able to counter back immediately. 269 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 4: So I can see Olivera picking Islam apart if this 270 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 4: stays on the feet for too long, just because of 271 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:23,480 Speaker 4: I think the smoothness and the way Olivera tends to 272 00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 4: strike at length, So I think that if it stays striking, 273 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 4: you're gonna look at possibly Oliver dropping them. 274 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 2: Wow, this is gonna be such a wild frickin' fight. Look, 275 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 2: people hate talking about this, but it came back up 276 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 2: at the press conference this week, Charles kind of saying, look, 277 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: you know, I beat this guy. Hey, Habib, Like, what 278 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 2: are you doing here? 279 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 3: Bro? You know what I mean? Look? 280 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: And you know, like, can we get past that conversation? 281 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 2: In your eyes? Is there an inside the fight game 282 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,800 Speaker 2: until you can share with us? When I see Habib 283 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 2: and when he makes the pledge to mother and father, 284 00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 2: when he gives up the millions upon millions to come back, 285 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: and Dana's constant chasing him around. I believe the guy. 286 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 2: If Mahuchev wins it is he'd be the branding of 287 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,439 Speaker 2: Kabib two point zero coming at you. I like Khabib's 288 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 2: role in this fight. You know it's a pro wrestling 289 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 2: type deal, having the other guy, the former champion there, 290 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,240 Speaker 2: but in your belief, in your heart of hearts, and 291 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: you know the money that gets offered these guys at 292 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 2: that level. Can we end this conversation he's done and 293 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 2: never coming back. Can we just focus on these two 294 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: right here in this moment. 295 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 4: I think you're right, BC, and I think that just 296 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 4: because of Kabib, the man that he is in the 297 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 4: antegor that he's showing, he feels like a guy when 298 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 4: he says something, he's. 299 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: Gonna stick to his word. 300 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 4: But the interesting backstory would be if Charles Olivery goes 301 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: out and smokes is long for some reason, would that 302 00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 4: entice him to come back and avenge that loss. That 303 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 4: I think would be the one thing that maybe he 304 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 4: can look at and go, Okay, this would give me 305 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 4: a reason to come back. 306 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 3: But I feel like you're right. I feel like he's done. 307 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 4: I think he's got a good He's in a good 308 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 4: place right now and coaching his fighters and helping his 309 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 4: team and kind of filling that role I feel like 310 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 4: his father would want him to fill. 311 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 3: So I think he's content on what he's doing right now. 312 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: How impressed have you been? And he's going to be 313 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,080 Speaker 2: playing a big role, meaning coach Abibe, not just in 314 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,240 Speaker 2: the corner of Mahachev, who's carrying on the tradition of 315 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 2: course of Habib's late father, but he's gonna be with 316 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 2: blah Mohammed Againt, Stean Brady. What if you liked from 317 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 2: a coaches standpoint, seeing the transition Habib has made. 318 00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: Oh, I've been in the room with them, so I've seen. 319 00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 4: You know, he was he was here at the PI 320 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 4: and I don't remember who was in camp, but you 321 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: know he had he was running practices out here and 322 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 4: I asked him if I can come bine and just 323 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,640 Speaker 4: hang out and watch practice. He said absolutely, And it 324 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: is a it's a it's It gave me a lot 325 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 4: of details and insight on on some of the things 326 00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: that maybe I'm doing wrong or maybe I can help 327 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 4: or change some of my game, but it was very regimented. 328 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 4: There was no talking. It was I don't remember music 329 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 4: being on. But the warm ups were long, the rounds 330 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 4: were long. And I'll give you a little backstory. There 331 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: was a guy that was that was not invited to 332 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 4: the practice. He came with another fire that was there. 333 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 4: It was not okayed by Kabib and it was it 334 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 4: was somebody that's brought a friend almost thing, and Kabib 335 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 4: chewed out damn near everybody there for allowing this and 336 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,320 Speaker 4: without asking permission for this, for this said fighter to 337 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 4: be there, And it just kind of made me realize 338 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: just how tight knit this group is. There's no bullshit 339 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:25,080 Speaker 4: going on. And man, I'll tell you what, for an 340 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 4: hour and a half, it was hard, hard, damn work. 341 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 4: And he believes that grappling is the key to damn 342 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 4: near everything in successful and to being successful in MMA, 343 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: and we come from that same ideology and lineage here 344 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 4: to extreme contor. 345 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 3: But I'll tell you what it just it was. 346 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 4: It was a different style than what I've ever seen 347 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:44,760 Speaker 4: and I was impressed. 348 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 1: All right, coach, tell me what we're talking about. Two 349 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: elite fighters. Someone asked me the other day, like you 350 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: just turned in terms of like skill for skill, it's 351 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,720 Speaker 1: one of the best matchups in UFC history, which I 352 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: don't think is necessarily unfair. But that also means that 353 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 1: because they're not perfect fighters, they have weaknesses. Biggest weakness 354 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: either guy has. 355 00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 4: Well, I think for me with with Islam, he needs 356 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 4: to stay the course in this fight. Now, I wouldn't 357 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 4: say this is his weakness because we might never really 358 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 4: see this, but like BC brought this up earlier, if 359 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 4: this somehow turns into a knockout dragout and all of 360 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 4: a sudden it turns into a striking affair, he needs 361 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 4: to still continue to stay the course when it comes 362 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 4: to grappling because his level changes in his feints. 363 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 3: Will have some validity. 364 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,360 Speaker 4: So I think for me with Islam and it's the unknown, 365 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 4: it's can he stay that course? Can he follow that 366 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: game plan even though it might not be going his way. 367 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 4: It's important for him to still stay on those fants 368 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 4: and level changes to make the olivera striking slow down 369 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: because he feels. 370 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 3: Like he has to defend the takedown. 371 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: So kind of the unknown if you will, for Islam 372 00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 4: and olivera man, he still gets hit. 373 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 3: I believe he's been dropped. 374 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: He was dropped in the Chandler fight, he was dropped 375 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 4: in the Poorrier fight, he got sat. 376 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 3: Down in the Gateshee fight. He's getting hit. 377 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,239 Speaker 4: So to me, I feel like he needs to make 378 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 4: sure he gets his head off center line and doesn't 379 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 4: take pictures after his combinations. He's got to move his 380 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 4: feet either side to side or those forty five degree 381 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 4: angles that we talked about versus somebody out of the 382 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 4: open stance. That to me is Olivera's biggest, biggest weakness 383 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:27,439 Speaker 4: is he's still getting hit in these fights. 384 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:32,000 Speaker 2: That's interesting. I want to transition that point because that's 385 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 2: a fear. Look, I have a fear that Charles. He 386 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: hasn't been doing it with magic, he hasn't been doing 387 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 2: it with Marrors. He's been doing it with balls. But again, 388 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 2: you know, this will be his thirty second fight, ninth 389 00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 2: most all the time, and you have the history. He's 390 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:44,879 Speaker 2: thirty two, but he's been through the wars. I'm not 391 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 2: saying we'll see a major drop off here. I'm just 392 00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 2: saying you can only gamble on that style for so 393 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: long before you get clipped. He almost got clipped against Chandler. 394 00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 2: But what if I told you this. These super elite 395 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 2: guys from Dugistan, I don't see them tap, I don't 396 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 2: see them get tired. They're machines. They have a game 397 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 2: plan that is negative and anti to everything you do. 398 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 2: So if Charles is riding this long win streak, and 399 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: in particular the last six fights have been dynamic, but 400 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,199 Speaker 2: he's been fighting guys who are very willing to exchange 401 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 2: in the sex if you offer it to them. I'm 402 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: talking about Kevin Lee, Gaichie, Poorier, Chandler. I'm talking about 403 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 2: guys that if you serve them that you know you 404 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 2: offer me a hot dog behind the scenes and no 405 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,439 Speaker 2: one's watching. Eric, I'm not gonna worry that my liver's 406 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 2: black at the moment. 407 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna eat it, dude. 408 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 2: These guys don't willingly, meaning these wrestle heavy cyborg fighters, 409 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: they don't willingly enter into this. Is it going to 410 00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 2: be as easy as everyone thinks that Charles is just 411 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 2: going to go out there, high volume, take chances, and 412 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,199 Speaker 2: we're going to see a brawl on the feet. I 413 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:48,360 Speaker 2: don't see Islam in these type of fights for a reason, I. 414 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:51,159 Speaker 4: Believe, and I'm with you, and I think that's the 415 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 4: That is the key to success for Islam, and that's 416 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 4: actually in my notes, man is stay the course and 417 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 4: make this fight ugly. No gonna boo him in Abu Dhabi, right, 418 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 4: but you want the crowd to kind of just be like, oh, 419 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 4: here we go another takedown and look at him killing 420 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,359 Speaker 4: the legs again and backside wrists, and here goes the 421 00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 4: ground and pound. If he's doing those things and it 422 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,480 Speaker 4: starts to become downhill, I think you're gonna see Islam 423 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,800 Speaker 4: being able to get that finish in round four, round five, 424 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 4: just because of that steady ground and pound, a steady dose. 425 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 4: We tell our guys in our gym, man, if it's 426 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 4: a three round or five round fight, there's nothing worse 427 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 4: in the world for somebody to beat you for fourteen 428 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: minutes and fifty eight seconds and find that finish in 429 00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:38,119 Speaker 4: the third round. Cause there's no excuse, guys, there's no 430 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 4: I got caught. No, you got your ass whooped for 431 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 4: the entirety of the fight by another man, and then 432 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,439 Speaker 4: you got finished. That is Islam's style. He wants to 433 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 4: inflict punishment over and over and over until you go, you. 434 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 3: Know what, man, I'm good with this shit. Get me 435 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 3: the hell out of here. 436 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 4: So I think he's just really got to stay that 437 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: course no matter what. If don't turn this thing into 438 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 4: a firefight, stay the course and you win this fight. 439 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,920 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about now the co made event, 440 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 1: another title fight at bantamweight, TJ Dillashaw, the former champion, 441 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: taking on the reigning champion, Aljamner Sterling. I know you've 442 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: worked with Sterling personally. First of all, just give me 443 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: a sense of his overall technical development. Number one, like 444 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 1: what you've seen from him as you've worked with him, 445 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: what he really excels at in your mind? And number two, 446 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 1: how does that match up with what TJ does? Really well? 447 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: They both kick really well, I'll tell you that, and 448 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 4: Al Jamain's kicks are a little So this is this 449 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 4: is a very crazy matchup for me because you guys 450 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 4: know my relationship with coach Ludwig. You know I'm belted 451 00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 4: under Dwayne, So there's a lot of lineage there. There's 452 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 4: a lot of you know, x's and o's when it 453 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 4: comes to this matchup for me. But on paper, I 454 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 4: think when you look at the matchup style, I would 455 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 4: venture to guess, and I don't know the stats but 456 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,440 Speaker 4: I would venture to guess al Jamain's probably seventy five 457 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 4: percent more kicks than he is to punches. He loves 458 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,159 Speaker 4: to use his kicks to find his range, to to 459 00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 4: set up his distance, but also to find ways to 460 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 4: set up his fit ins off of those kicks, whereas 461 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,639 Speaker 4: TJ likes to throw his kicks as an add on 462 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 4: is beautiful with the same side head kicks. You know 463 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,159 Speaker 4: what we call the condit we'll he'll he'll throw the 464 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,639 Speaker 4: right cross and roll his head through the one the 465 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 4: kick that Carlos Kndent dropped GSP with. 466 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 3: So TJ has these add ons with it. 467 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,320 Speaker 4: And then we saw TJ utilize his kicks very well 468 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 4: against Corey Sandhagen and that was to negate. Some of 469 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 4: that movement was chopping that low kick. So both styles, 470 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 4: uh like, I think their their their kick game kind 471 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,440 Speaker 4: of gets their striking going. 472 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Speaker 3: So there's a lot of similarities when I see both 473 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 3: of these guys. 474 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 4: But really for al Joe to me, his kick game 475 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 4: is is to utilize his distance to maintain and then 476 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:43,960 Speaker 4: sometimes he. 477 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 3: Close his distance to set up his fit ins. 478 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 2: Eric, how did you get associated with al Joe and 479 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 2: and what is the future for him and splitting time 480 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 2: in Las Vegas with you and back with Coach Longo 481 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 2: where he started. 482 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 4: So this is kind of a product of COVID and 483 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 4: and then with al Jo's in that he had with 484 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,919 Speaker 4: his neck and his shoulder. So we were really one 485 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 4: of the gyms that I wouldn't say that we were open, 486 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 4: but it was kind of like this speakeasy if you will. 487 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 4: During COVID we had we had fights, guys were fighting, 488 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 4: and we had to train. So what we would do 489 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 4: is we'd set up our camps and bring people in. 490 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,960 Speaker 4: And Al Jamain reached out to me and asked, if 491 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 4: you know I was available to work some of his 492 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 4: stuff and while he was in Vegas, and it was 493 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 4: almost like a sit down job interview, and it worked 494 00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 4: out great because I understood my role. What do you 495 00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 4: need me for and what are you expecting out of me? 496 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 4: And that was kind of, you know, what was laid out. 497 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 4: He said, Hey, when I'm in Vegas, I want you 498 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 4: to run my camp, but I need you in communication 499 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 4: with Coach Longo and Nat Sarah back in Long Island, 500 00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 4: he goes, I really don't know what I'll do for 501 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 4: my corner. Most of the time, I'll probably have like 502 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:48,480 Speaker 4: Morob and some of the guys that I use as 503 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: trading partners, but Ray will always be there. And I 504 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 4: think for me as a coach, it's refreshing just to 505 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 4: know and understand your role. So he did, I believe 506 00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 4: it was seven weeks or eight weeks out here with 507 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 4: us at the Pied Extreme Contor, and I kind of 508 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 4: help navigate him day by day, if you will, so 509 00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 4: I know what his mondays are like. Was set up 510 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,399 Speaker 4: his sparring on on Thursdays. I hold pads for him 511 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: on Tuesdays. We got cardio rounds on Saturdays. And then 512 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 4: he'll set up all of his stuff over the USCP I, 513 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 4: we'll film everything. 514 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 3: We'll send it over to Coach Longo. 515 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,919 Speaker 4: And then when he goes back to Long Island, it's 516 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 4: kind of reverse engineered everything he does there. He films, 517 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 4: sends it over to me. I'll break down the tape 518 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 4: and we'll get on a FaceTime call over the weekend 519 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,120 Speaker 4: and kind of run through everything. 520 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: I mean, right, Coach, all right? Right? In that case, 521 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: the single leg, it's the big weapon of al Jamaine Sterling, right, 522 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,400 Speaker 1: he has other takedowns. I want to be very very 523 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: clear but against Yon, for example, the single leg was 524 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:45,719 Speaker 1: really key to getting that fight where he wanted it 525 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,560 Speaker 1: to be, which was the back and everything else. How 526 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: did that be? Like, why is that such a favored 527 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: weapon of al Jamaine Sterling? Why the single leg? 528 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 4: I think because of the chain wrestling off of it, 529 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,600 Speaker 4: and it gives you two different paths. You can run 530 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 4: back to the double but it's acentually that bodylock series 531 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 4: as well, and I think just because it's something that 532 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,240 Speaker 4: where if you're going head inside single like we talked 533 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,440 Speaker 4: about in the fight with Olivera in Islam, it keeps 534 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 4: you out of that guillotine neckline. But I think to me, 535 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,159 Speaker 4: because of Aljamaine's style and he's kind of scrambling when 536 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 4: it comes to his wrestling, the ability to transition and 537 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 4: chain wrestle Luke, I think that single leg gives you 538 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 4: that option. 539 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,439 Speaker 2: You see, Yeah, this is when you're game planning for 540 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: somebody like TJ. He's been through the physical and mental 541 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 2: ringer and some of it has been self induced. We 542 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:36,239 Speaker 2: know about his background in the history, but it's like 543 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 2: long layoffs, surgery, come back looking like he's never aged 544 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 2: and as we saw against Sanjagan, finding an inner grittiness 545 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 2: to overcome that leg injury and just figure out a 546 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 2: way to win that. When you're looking at how to 547 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 2: game plan for somebody like him, we know is what 548 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 2: he's accomplished. But how close to the prime is thirty 549 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: six year old TJ. Dillashaw? Because my casual eyes haven't 550 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 2: seen much slippage. How do you guys gauge that? 551 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 4: I agree with you one hundred percent? And look, I 552 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: don't as a coach, I personally know look at the 553 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 4: bulletin board material. None of that shit bothers me or 554 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 4: I care about one bit. I gotta look at the 555 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 4: guy in front of us and what his skill set 556 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 4: and his talent tells me on tape, and what we 557 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 4: saw against Cory Sandhagen is we saw a guy who's 558 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 4: just like that BC. He looks like he's in his prime. 559 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 4: He finds ways to win fights. He has great in 560 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 4: fight adjustments between him and coach Ludwig. So to me personally, 561 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 4: I think he is right back where he belongs. He 562 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 4: is just as dangerous as he ever has been. I 563 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 4: don't think you want to sit too much on the 564 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 4: fact that he's been gone or this, this or that, 565 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 4: because in that two years time span. He might have 566 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 4: been evolving and changing and shaping his game behind the 567 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 4: scenes and things that we don't really see. So I 568 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 4: gotta look at what I see on tape, and it 569 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 4: gets that Cory Sandhagen fight. 570 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: He's just as good as he's ever been. 571 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: What's the best explanation for why al Jo can so 572 00:25:57,760 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 1: readily find mount or the back. 573 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,520 Speaker 4: I think he's I think he does such a good 574 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 4: job of finding his pit stops Luke in certain ground positions, 575 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 4: he's he's not in a hurry to get from point 576 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: A to point B. He feels like when you grapple 577 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 4: with him, when you watch him in the room, he'll 578 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 4: suffocate that position. And what he'll do there is make 579 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 4: you decide and he'll know the route before you go 580 00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 4: there as the defender. So let's say he's in that 581 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,240 Speaker 4: half guard position and he's working something, so if you're 582 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,439 Speaker 4: going to turn to the inside of the outside, he 583 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 4: has an answer for each. And then when he's in 584 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 4: the mount position, he's gonna sit there and he's gonna 585 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 4: make you work. He's gonna let his ground and pound 586 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 4: allow you for you to go belly down. And we 587 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 4: never see him really stay two attached to guys or 588 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,119 Speaker 4: glued to guys. He's kind of floating on you. So 589 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 4: when you go belly down right there in that transition, 590 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 4: now he's able to get. 591 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 3: His body lockeror his body triangle on you. 592 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: So I think for me, he kind of always understands 593 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 4: that next route. He's like a step or two ahead 594 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 4: of you in the grappling game, and he's never in 595 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 4: a position where he's rushed. And I feel like that's 596 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 4: important because we get a lot of guys in here 597 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 4: that want to go almost loo like they're break dancing 598 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 4: on you. But to me al Jamain understands his pit 599 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,120 Speaker 4: stops and the reason why he gets there, and then 600 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 4: the reason why he flows in the next position is 601 00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 4: really because of what the fighter on bottom will give 602 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 4: to him. 603 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:21,680 Speaker 2: And I love this fight. This could be the fight 604 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,679 Speaker 2: of the night. I mean, this is this is this 605 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: is the sleeper, Eric, this is the gem, this is 606 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 2: the one man. 607 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,240 Speaker 3: I agree, man, damn. 608 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,399 Speaker 1: Right, here's the thing, right, here's the thing Coach. Like 609 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,280 Speaker 1: the first the main event could go long, probably won't 610 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 1: go long. I feel like this one could go along 611 00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: the comin right. 612 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 3: I feel like I can go long. 613 00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 4: But what I'm excited for is those mid fight adjustments 614 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 4: because we've seen TJ make those mid fight adjustments and 615 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 4: we've seen Aljamyiner make those mid fight adjustments. So the 616 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 4: x's and o's for me is really where I like 617 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,200 Speaker 4: to see how they make these adjustments. If something goes wrong, 618 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 4: if your game plan is not working, what do you 619 00:27:59,119 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 4: have in your back? 620 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 3: You can pull out and go out and get a victory, you. 621 00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:04,959 Speaker 4: Know, and and and let's be real, this is Al 622 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,359 Speaker 4: Jamine's officially first titled defense, and Randy Coutur always always 623 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 4: hammer this to me, he said, Man, the hardest fight 624 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 4: of any fighter's career is the first title defense. So 625 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 4: I'm interested to see what both guys have in store. 626 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,919 Speaker 2: Can I Can we imagine Al Joe's wrestling taking the 627 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 2: back of Dila Shaw with the consistency and danger and 628 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: threat that he put on Yon, which was surprising to 629 00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,440 Speaker 2: me in the moment. Are there differences in the wrestling 630 00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,320 Speaker 2: bases of Jan and Dila Shaw, which means that that 631 00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:35,680 Speaker 2: plan A may not be there? 632 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 4: I think I think you're gonna see al Jamayne find 633 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:40,680 Speaker 4: the back in this fight. 634 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:41,400 Speaker 3: I really do. 635 00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:44,360 Speaker 4: And And what's what's interesting about this is when he 636 00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 4: gets there. He it to me is like it's like 637 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: the rounds over. You know, we have another guy in 638 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 4: the gym and PATCHI mix. When PATCHI gets on your pack, 639 00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 4: it's it's it's the most difficult guy. It's just the 640 00:28:57,880 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 4: guys can't get out and they're there. And I think 641 00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:03,680 Speaker 4: that's the thing that Luke alluded to in that where 642 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 4: he's not in a rush to get directly to your back. 643 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 4: There's pit stops there that allow him to get there. 644 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 4: And by that time there's three minutes off the clock. 645 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 4: Now you got two minutes with him on your back. 646 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 4: So if he can salt these rounds out and be 647 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 4: able to get to those backside positions versus TJ, it's 648 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 4: gonna be an interesting task for TJ and how he 649 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 4: wants to make those adjustments. But I feel like he 650 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 4: can get there BC, I really do. I feel like 651 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,200 Speaker 4: al Jamain's got enough tricks. We saw that in the 652 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 4: Yon fight. You know, drive up the single leg, get 653 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 4: to that bodylock, series, hop over the back. Maybe it's 654 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 4: off of a failed takedown where it's off a transition 655 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 4: off a knee tap. I mean, he has his abilities 656 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 4: to get there, So I feel like it's gonna be 657 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 4: important for TJ not to allow Aljo to get there 658 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 4: because the round's gonna be over. 659 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 2: All right quickly. On the flip side of that, if 660 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 2: TJ can keep this fight on the feet, if I 661 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,640 Speaker 2: told it's gonna be a five round kickboxing match, I 662 00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,880 Speaker 2: think naturally we would go Okay. TJ's a little bit 663 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: more versatile, has more ways to win. What are we 664 00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 2: missing about Aljamin stern striking game? Because he made a 665 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 2: leap against Young that shut up all the doubters, but 666 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 2: he did it on the ground most effectively. What if 667 00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 2: he has to do it on the feet against TJ. 668 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 2: What does that look like? Well? 669 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 3: I think Algamayn has actually very good vision. 670 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 1: You know. 671 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 4: In the fight against Yan, I believe he got clipped 672 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 4: with a switch uppercut, you know. Unfortunately for me, I'm 673 00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 4: from that Dwayn Ludwig pedigree. So a lot of the 674 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,400 Speaker 4: things and the tricks in this that I've learned over 675 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 4: the years, we were able to kind of replicate. Well, 676 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 4: they have new wrinkles in their game, absolutely, but it 677 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 4: was my job to be able to get our training 678 00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 4: partners and our guys in our room to try to 679 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 4: replicate some of the things that TJ does, and I 680 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 4: hope we did well enough that they were able to 681 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 4: see those things that Algeban was able. 682 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 3: To get those reads. 683 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 4: So in that if it stays striking, I'm pretty confident 684 00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 4: that Aljamin's going to be okay on his feet. And 685 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 4: I think, you know, honestly, Aljro does such a good 686 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 4: job in there and creating car crashes where we've been 687 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 4: using a lot of elbows and linear things up the midline, 688 00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,360 Speaker 4: the knees up the midline, to where if that fight 689 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 4: makes a crash in the middle, I think we have 690 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,040 Speaker 4: some offense that can be able to answer some of 691 00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 4: thatt Coach. 692 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,080 Speaker 1: We actually have a question here from one of our 693 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 1: the viewers from MK I wanted to start incorporating these 694 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:10,960 Speaker 1: if I can hear a little bit. This comes to 695 00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 1: us from Sage the Dragon Sennpi. I guess that's his name. Eric. 696 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:20,400 Speaker 1: Is Aljamin Sterling the best at creating back exposure in 697 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 1: the UFC? If so, why. 698 00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 4: I would say, yeah, I mean, right now, I think 699 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 4: he definitely is. I think that he's a guy that 700 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 4: you know, he hunts for that position. Now, he's a 701 00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,360 Speaker 4: guy I think that when he gets there his bodylock series, 702 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 4: the body triangle that he puts on. He's not necessarily 703 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 4: always looking for the choke, but he has efficient ground 704 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 4: and pound from there. The one thing that he does 705 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 4: very well, and this is something if you go back 706 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 4: and watch Kevin Lee. 707 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:51,600 Speaker 3: Kevin Lee loved getting to. 708 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 4: That bodylock, but what he loved to do with it 709 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 4: was flatten you out and go belly down and then 710 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 4: hip in on you. And when he does that, the 711 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 4: ground and pound is evident. But with one thing that 712 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,040 Speaker 4: a lot of people don't realize, the torque that it 713 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,400 Speaker 4: does on your lower half, your torso and your and 714 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,280 Speaker 4: your spine. Man, it makes you want to tap just 715 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 4: there alone. So I think his positional control the way 716 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 4: he's able to get to the back, but he does 717 00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 4: al Jamin kind of has this almost floaty transitional thing 718 00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,840 Speaker 4: where if you do get your back to the mat, 719 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 4: he's right back up on top of you on mount 720 00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 4: and then he's able to go to that gift rap 721 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 4: and retransition back over. So I think that his ability 722 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 4: to transition from A to B makes him one of 723 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 4: the better guys on the back series. 724 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 2: All right, coach, let's hit you with Pyota yan Sean O'Malley. 725 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: It's already been said. This is the number one contender fight. 726 00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:40,520 Speaker 2: Next guy gets the title shot Sean O'Malley. If he 727 00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,760 Speaker 2: does Sean O'Malley things, you gotta believe he can win 728 00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 2: this fight. He's a plus two to twenty five underdog 729 00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,160 Speaker 2: according to DraftKings. But we saw a little touch up 730 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:50,560 Speaker 2: at the and I want to ask you if this matters, 731 00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 2: because when I'm watching, I got pro wrestling eyes. It's 732 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,000 Speaker 2: just the way I was raised. Okay, so I see 733 00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: that shit, I jump up. Do we have the video 734 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,360 Speaker 2: to throw to here of Payota Yan and O'Malley, because 735 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 2: I want to ask you, is this a moment? Is 736 00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 2: this something to look into or is this nothing here 737 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 2: of when they went face to face? Because quote skill 738 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 2: for skill, you gotta like Yan and the experience and 739 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 2: what he's proven. But there's some emotion in there. Is 740 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 2: that a bad thing? 741 00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 3: It can be? 742 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 4: And here's the thing with Pyotr Yan is we thought 743 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 4: in the Algamain fight number two that Yan would come 744 00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 4: out and fight emotional, and we wanted that and we 745 00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,480 Speaker 4: kind of did see that a little bit. 746 00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 3: Out of him. 747 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,000 Speaker 4: Now is that emotion going to carry over and it 748 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 4: is that is the same thing that we saw in 749 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 4: the Algiro fight. This actually might work out in his 750 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:50,200 Speaker 4: favor if he comes in emotional. Let me explain to 751 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 4: you that BC is because Yan does not have the 752 00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 4: luxury of having a five round fight this time around. 753 00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 3: He traditionally starts slow. 754 00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 4: Round one is going to be very, very important for 755 00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:05,200 Speaker 4: both of these fighters. If sugar Sean can steal round one. 756 00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,760 Speaker 4: Sugar Sean has a skill set to go and be 757 00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:11,360 Speaker 4: a sniper and pick off Pyodryon from the outside and 758 00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:14,320 Speaker 4: just win round two, and he can do cartwheels in 759 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,160 Speaker 4: round three and win this fight. So I think it's 760 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 4: important for pyotr Yan not to come out slow and 761 00:34:19,960 --> 00:34:22,440 Speaker 4: be his technical and get all of his data and 762 00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:24,600 Speaker 4: collect his reads. I think it's going to be important 763 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,439 Speaker 4: for Piodrian to come out here right away. Maybe take 764 00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 4: the first minute, but he's got to get round one 765 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 4: and he's got to set a tone in an emphasis 766 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,600 Speaker 4: that he's there to fight. So coming out emotional in 767 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,399 Speaker 4: this fight for Yon might favor him BC. 768 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: All right, coach, what about the idea though that there's 769 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,440 Speaker 1: wrestling Yan can strike. I think on the feet he 770 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: probably you know, certainly Sean O'Malley is very very good there, 771 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: but Yon's very good there as well. It's the other 772 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: part where Jan has incredible takedowns, ability to find it 773 00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:54,120 Speaker 1: and to work from top position. He's got good ground 774 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:58,040 Speaker 1: to pound. If you were advising Jan, would you advise 775 00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: him to wrestle a fair amount in this content? 776 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 3: Well, gentlemen, I advise everybody to wrestle. 777 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:09,520 Speaker 4: But yes, and that's exactly what I have in my notes, guys, 778 00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 4: is there's some unknowns there, and there's some unknowns with 779 00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 4: Sugar Sean, and that is in the wrestling department. The 780 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:22,320 Speaker 4: other unknown is the wrestling cardio. And we all know this, boys, 781 00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 4: like we've been in this room. We understand what it's like. 782 00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:27,879 Speaker 4: There's a big difference between the striking cardio and there's 783 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:30,840 Speaker 4: a big difference between getting a dude off of you 784 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 4: cardio and wrestling and getting up and then getting and 785 00:35:34,600 --> 00:35:37,960 Speaker 4: taken back down. We haven't seen him tested in that department, 786 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,520 Speaker 4: So why not go out and look to out wrestle 787 00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 4: this guy in the first round. What does it do well? 788 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,280 Speaker 4: It makes you pummel, It makes you work, It adds 789 00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 4: blood in your arms, it takes some of the sting 790 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 4: off your punches. It starts to make you question your 791 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 4: game plan. You're stuck on bottom. You have long extremities 792 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,160 Speaker 4: to where if you're Pyodryon, you're able to kill a leg, 793 00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,279 Speaker 4: You're able to sit in that half guard, and you're 794 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,040 Speaker 4: able to apply some ground and pound. Luke, I'm with you, man. 795 00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 4: I think it's important for Yanni come out and wrestle. 796 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 4: That's in my notes too. I think you want to 797 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 4: slow this fight down. I think you want to make 798 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,319 Speaker 4: sure you put an exclamation point on round one, and 799 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:14,720 Speaker 4: you want to send Sugar Shawan back to the corner 800 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,239 Speaker 4: with a cut over his eye and blood running down 801 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:19,759 Speaker 4: his face and set that tone in precedence right away 802 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:20,239 Speaker 4: in round one. 803 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,080 Speaker 3: If you're purely on, it's. 804 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 2: A great insight, Coach. I could have you here all day. 805 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,439 Speaker 2: I know you're a busy man. Do you have time 806 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 2: for any more fan questions? Or should we exit now? 807 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,839 Speaker 4: I just carved a whole hour out for you guys 808 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 4: because I was so excited, so I wanted to make this. 809 00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:34,880 Speaker 2: I want to get the fans involved because you're a 810 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,840 Speaker 2: connected guy, You're a smart guy. Let's go over to 811 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:42,320 Speaker 2: Captain V on Discord He asked, what holds, if any, 812 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 2: do you see in John Jones's game and fight style? 813 00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 2: And I'm going to add in as it pertains to 814 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 2: moving up to the heavyweight division at this point in 815 00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:53,680 Speaker 2: his career after the long layoff, Any any things that 816 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,600 Speaker 2: scare you in terms of his game that might not 817 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,120 Speaker 2: adapt so well at this weight. 818 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,239 Speaker 3: Well, you guys are asking me to give away my 819 00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:01,160 Speaker 3: secrets here, but. 820 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,240 Speaker 2: Uh, if the fans want to know, Eric, Okay. 821 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:10,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know I would venture to guess the unknown 822 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:13,640 Speaker 4: right now for John Jones is because by the time 823 00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:15,839 Speaker 4: he ends up fighting, it might be three years since 824 00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 4: we've seen him last in the cage, and that we 825 00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 4: have to be honest and transparent. The do Dominic Reys fight, 826 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:25,279 Speaker 4: the Tiago Santo's fight, it didn't feel as if it 827 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 4: was the John Jones of the past. Now Is that 828 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:30,840 Speaker 4: because he was uninterested? Is that because he wasn't training 829 00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 4: the way he needs to be training. Could be, could 830 00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 4: definitely be, But I don't want to allow. I would say, 831 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:40,600 Speaker 4: I don't want them to allow. I want us to 832 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:43,040 Speaker 4: be the first fight for John Jones in the heavyweight 833 00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:46,480 Speaker 4: division for many many reasons, but number one is because 834 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 4: John is so good at adapting and understanding. If he 835 00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:53,400 Speaker 4: fought stepe A before us, and let's say he wins 836 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,279 Speaker 4: that fight but has some hiccups in that fight, he's 837 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,440 Speaker 4: able to go back to the drawing board and fix 838 00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 4: those things. Yes, I want him to have to figure 839 00:38:02,239 --> 00:38:05,280 Speaker 4: that shit out with two hundred and seventy five pound 840 00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 4: Francis Nigan who's standing in front of him ready to. 841 00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:08,600 Speaker 3: Take his head off. 842 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,000 Speaker 4: You got to figure that shit out right now with 843 00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 4: us in that cage. So there's things that I've seen 844 00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 4: that I think we can exploit. There's things that I've 845 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 4: seen that can can ultimately be you know, the reason 846 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:20,600 Speaker 4: why John wins. 847 00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:21,239 Speaker 3: Those fights this fight. 848 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:23,719 Speaker 4: But it's my job as the coach to hide those 849 00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,839 Speaker 4: holes or to fix those holes, or to make those 850 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 4: holes some of our advantages like we. 851 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,399 Speaker 3: Saw in the Gone fight. 852 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:33,200 Speaker 4: So the unknown for me is what is John Jones 853 00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,160 Speaker 4: doing behind the scenes with Brandy Gibson, a great coach, 854 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,880 Speaker 4: great friend. I got to believe that these guys are 855 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,120 Speaker 4: adding new tools and getting that experience in But there's 856 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,760 Speaker 4: nothing like the experience you get being in the cage 857 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 4: with the heavyweight champion staring in front of you, and 858 00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:49,879 Speaker 4: you got to figure that shit out right then and there. 859 00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:52,560 Speaker 2: Oh, put that in Raider Stadium. Please let's make this 860 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. I got a. 861 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: Phoner over here, coach from someone who calls himself who Mma. 862 00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,520 Speaker 1: He asks when Francis and who hit the Metzger takedown 863 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,400 Speaker 1: on Cyril? I almost jumped through my ceiling. What's one 864 00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:06,480 Speaker 1: of the most joyful moments you can remember of a 865 00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,919 Speaker 1: fighter executing a surprising technique in a fight that worked 866 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,280 Speaker 1: hard they worked hard on in training. 867 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,879 Speaker 4: Well, I think that would you know, obviously that has 868 00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 4: to rain pretty high. We in the gym saw this 869 00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:23,000 Speaker 4: for about two years and it was it was under 870 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:25,479 Speaker 4: wraps and there was grumblings about it because we saw 871 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:27,520 Speaker 4: what Francis Nagano. 872 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,120 Speaker 3: Was doing even in the steep a fight. 873 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,439 Speaker 4: We had to tell this guy, you got to let 874 00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 4: this this guy up. They're tkos. No one can get 875 00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:38,919 Speaker 4: up off of the bottom with him. And I'm talking accomplished, 876 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,120 Speaker 4: high level UFC fighters that are ranked. 877 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,320 Speaker 3: Not gonna throw them on the bus and name names. 878 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,439 Speaker 4: But it was impressive to see to the point where 879 00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,920 Speaker 4: guys from the UFCPI were coming over to watch the 880 00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,479 Speaker 4: sparring rounds and going, are you looking to take step 881 00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 4: A down and beat him up, and I'm like, it's 882 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:57,440 Speaker 4: a possibility. I'm telling you we wanted to throw wrinkles 883 00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,000 Speaker 4: in his game because we knew that eventually, when you 884 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:03,560 Speaker 4: got to the highest level and you're defending your title, 885 00:40:04,040 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 4: somebody's going to come along and nullify your power. And 886 00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:09,759 Speaker 4: if we don't have another pitch in our arsenal, if 887 00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:11,319 Speaker 4: we don't have a slider or a change up, and 888 00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:13,759 Speaker 4: all we have is a fastball, man, I'll tell you 889 00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:16,560 Speaker 4: what we're doing ourselves a disservice, not only as a 890 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:18,680 Speaker 4: coaching staff, but to are a fighter by not allowing 891 00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:20,760 Speaker 4: him to grow and put these. 892 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,080 Speaker 3: Other tools in his tool shed. 893 00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 4: So watching him be able to transition over into this 894 00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,560 Speaker 4: all of a sudden Francis Nigano the Grappler was definitely 895 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,520 Speaker 4: one of my more proud moments as a coach. And 896 00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,360 Speaker 4: being able to see him execute it live in a 897 00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 4: fight and surprise the shit out everybody. 898 00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,560 Speaker 2: I mean, look, you and I were the only people 899 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:39,400 Speaker 2: that knew he was going to wrestle. You know, it 900 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 2: came to me in a vision, and you prepared for it. 901 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 2: It's amazing. I want to stay there real quick though. 902 00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:46,480 Speaker 2: I think that victory by Anghano, given the knee injury, 903 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 2: given the contract situation, it was one of the greatest 904 00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:52,799 Speaker 2: fuck you wins in the history of combat sports. How 905 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:56,000 Speaker 2: bad was his knee give us a feeling of like 906 00:40:56,360 --> 00:40:58,759 Speaker 2: what a handicap that actually was that he had to 907 00:40:58,800 --> 00:40:59,880 Speaker 2: overcome against Cyril. 908 00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 4: Gun Well, let's put it like this, BC, myself, Dewey Cooper, 909 00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:06,879 Speaker 4: Markel Martin, every one of us felt that he should 910 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,360 Speaker 4: have pulled out of the fight. You know, we're literally 911 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 4: walking around with an NFL lineman knee brace for four weeks, 912 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:18,560 Speaker 4: damn so so we're I know they came in and 913 00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:20,520 Speaker 4: filmed a little bit of the documentary series for him. 914 00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 4: I think he's gonna release it on his YouTube. But 915 00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,960 Speaker 4: a little insight for my morning combat friends and family. 916 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:30,040 Speaker 4: This was the Friday, the friday before we leave for 917 00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 4: fight week, we all sit down and have a meeting. 918 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 3: This is at the PI.

We don't understand if we're 927 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,320 Speaker 4: gonna fight or not. Doctor Elotrage basically calls and says 928 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,360 Speaker 4: he can have irreversible knee damage if he decides to 929 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 4: take this fight. So we get back to the PI, 930 00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,600 Speaker 4: we have this little meeting and sit down. I look 931 00:42:09,640 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 4: over at Francis.

So we 935 00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,160 Speaker 4: have this whole, long, drawn out talk. Francis stops and 936 00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:23,799 Speaker 4: kind of looks over and he's like, well, I kind 937 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 4: of put a damper on sparring for the day. 938 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:27,280 Speaker 3: And you know, one of those things. 939 00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:30,960 Speaker 4: And so I said to him, I said, look, all 940 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,439 Speaker 4: I want for you from today, if you're gonna spar, 941 00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,560 Speaker 4: let's spar But we got to take this knee brace off. 942 00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,319 Speaker 4: This thing's giving you a false sense of reality.

I looked over it 1002 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,960 Speaker 4: Gone and I go to Francis, I pointed out him 1003 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,439 Speaker 4: when we're getting them on the stool, I think there's 1004 00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:16,359 Speaker 4: some I'll try to find the video where I made 1005 00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,160 Speaker 4: it loud and clear that Gone was broke, and I 1006 00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,440 Speaker 4: wanted gone to hear me say it. I wanted Francis 1007 00:45:22,440 --> 00:45:24,520 Speaker 4: to say it because of body language. I go, look 1008 00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:27,960 Speaker 4: at that motherfucker, he's broken. And we both looked over 1009 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:30,240 Speaker 4: at him, and I saw Francis just go like, yep, 1010 00:45:30,440 --> 00:45:31,239 Speaker 4: he's broke. 1011 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,360 Speaker 3: And Francis was tired. Francis, you know he was just 1012 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:37,280 Speaker 3: as tired as gone. 1013 00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 1: We know that. 1014 00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:40,799 Speaker 4: But that's something that Randy always ingrained is in this 1015 00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:43,759 Speaker 4: room was body language. He said, I know I'm just 1016 00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,080 Speaker 4: as tired as this guy. But if I can fake 1017 00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:49,360 Speaker 4: it more, if I can make that guy feel like, fuck, 1018 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 4: this guy's not tired, there's a breaking point there for 1019 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 4: that other athlete. And I felt like we were able 1020 00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 4: to exude that in that moment. And I knew that 1021 00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 4: Francis was the better athlete at that time, and he 1022 00:45:58,800 --> 00:46:01,200 Speaker 4: was going to see his way through anyy, didn't matter 1023 00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:03,160 Speaker 4: if he had one leg, one arm. He was going 1024 00:46:03,239 --> 00:46:05,560 Speaker 4: to find a way to win that fight. And kudos 1025 00:46:05,600 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 4: to him, guys, because he deserves all that credit. And 1026 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:10,279 Speaker 4: I told him that right after the fight. This win 1027 00:46:10,400 --> 00:46:12,799 Speaker 4: is on you. All of us said, pull out of 1028 00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,319 Speaker 4: this fucking fight. You're crazy. And if you go in 1029 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 4: here and do what you can do and we believe 1030 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:20,400 Speaker 4: in you, the moment he said, we're taking that fight. No, 1031 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:23,440 Speaker 4: at no time do we ever talk about his knee again. 1032 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,879 Speaker 4: That's an afterthought. We don't give a shit anymore. We're 1033 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:28,279 Speaker 4: riding in this thing. We're doing it together. We're not 1034 00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 4: making we can make any excuse when loser draw. But 1035 00:46:30,840 --> 00:46:32,759 Speaker 4: if you win this fight, brother, this one's on you. 1036 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:33,040 Speaker 1: Man. 1037 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,719 Speaker 3: You you made this shit happen. And kudos to him. 1038 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,520 Speaker 2: Dude, I appreciate you sharing that insight because it just 1039 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 2: adds to the legend and the credit the mythical folk 1040 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,319 Speaker 2: hero that is Francis and Donald right there. There will 1041 00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:48,120 Speaker 2: be a movie about him. I found the perfect Fanqush. 1042 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 2: I'm sorry that we have to transition to coach. It's 1043 00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,759 Speaker 2: from at uber on Twitter. I don't know if that's 1044 00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,239 Speaker 2: his real name. Should ask what kids used to call 1045 00:46:55,320 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 2: him when he was growing up. Eric Nutsak had to 1046 00:46:57,920 --> 00:46:59,839 Speaker 2: be a top one. Look, these are the fans. I'm 1047 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,359 Speaker 2: all right for the lack of quality control. They want 1048 00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:02,560 Speaker 2: to know. 1049 00:47:02,640 --> 00:47:04,839 Speaker 3: Okay, I I never got that. 1050 00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:06,520 Speaker 4: One, but that one's pretty good. I might adopt that 1051 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:09,239 Speaker 4: one as we go through. Uh you know, yeah, I 1052 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:12,520 Speaker 4: mean the last name is is certainly uh different, you know, 1053 00:47:12,560 --> 00:47:14,439 Speaker 4: and I would get I would get picked on quite 1054 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:16,520 Speaker 4: a bit for it. But you know, thankfully I was 1055 00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:18,319 Speaker 4: kind of a big kid and uh, you know, no 1056 00:47:18,360 --> 00:47:19,600 Speaker 4: one really messled with me too much. 1057 00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,759 Speaker 3: So yeah, but Eric, that's a pretty good one. I 1058 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 3: have to use that one. 1059 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:25,200 Speaker 1: It never It never occurred to me either, but we're 1060 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,759 Speaker 1: also you know, not mentally brain damage, so that that 1061 00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:32,600 Speaker 1: that's why, uh, coach, I gotta say, it's been fun 1062 00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: having you. This is great. Oh, last one from the 1063 00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,800 Speaker 1: fans before for me by the way, before you go here. Actually, 1064 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,600 Speaker 1: I think it comes from our producer who's curious, who 1065 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 1: are some up and coming guys at extreme cauture that 1066 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,880 Speaker 1: we should be looking out for, maybe ones outside of 1067 00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,120 Speaker 1: the UFC, maybe not even pro yet, but who do 1068 00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,080 Speaker 1: you have your eye on as that next gen extreme 1069 00:47:50,120 --> 00:47:51,360 Speaker 1: cautur guy or lady. 1070 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 3: Oh? 1071 00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,120 Speaker 4: Man, you guys, I got I got two right now 1072 00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:58,920 Speaker 4: and they're they're they're they're they're contrasting fighters. And one 1073 00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:02,959 Speaker 4: is a Hawaiians striker named Poony pagoa Poony Brandy fights 1074 00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:03,960 Speaker 4: for LFA right now. 1075 00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:06,200 Speaker 1: I met him with you. 1076 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:08,040 Speaker 4: You did, you did meet me with him, man, And 1077 00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:10,879 Speaker 4: I'll tell you what. Luke the kid, what I love 1078 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:14,760 Speaker 4: about his mentality is he's been working on the things 1079 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,719 Speaker 4: that the weaknesses. Right if before if you score a 1080 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,080 Speaker 4: takedown on the kid, the round's over. But now he's 1081 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 4: now chained up with another kid who is my next 1082 00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:27,799 Speaker 4: prospect is Kobe Fair Kobe is a wrestler from Notre 1083 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:32,680 Speaker 4: Dame from Ohio. He is that Jake Shields prodigy that 1084 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,480 Speaker 4: we're seeing in the gym, the ground and pound guy. 1085 00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,920 Speaker 4: But where he lacks is maybe that striking. But now 1086 00:48:38,920 --> 00:48:41,319 Speaker 4: we're able to put him and Poony together, these young 1087 00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:44,120 Speaker 4: up and comers, and one hand is watching the other man. 1088 00:48:44,160 --> 00:48:46,359 Speaker 4: These guys are taking care of one another, but you're 1089 00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,560 Speaker 4: seeing their game elevate week by week every day on 1090 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:53,120 Speaker 4: this in this mat, I watched Kobe yesterday and we 1091 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,239 Speaker 4: went over a series we call the ball and chain 1092 00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 4: from from Randy. It's basically in the in the half 1093 00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,000 Speaker 4: guard position when a guy on bottom goes knee shield, 1094 00:49:00,480 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 4: we lace underneath the arm and ball and chain and 1095 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,120 Speaker 4: pull and thread that top side arm through the bottom leg. 1096 00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 4: And it's an awful ground and pound position to be in. 1097 00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,400 Speaker 4: So we started working some of his techniques with Kobe 1098 00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:15,279 Speaker 4: and watched him just literally manhandle three guys yesterday with 1099 00:49:15,320 --> 00:49:17,360 Speaker 4: his ball and chain technique and work in this ground 1100 00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 4: and pound. And then you go and watch Poony on 1101 00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:21,920 Speaker 4: the other side, who can hit from both stances. 1102 00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,360 Speaker 3: A natural orthodox guy. But we moved him over to South. 1103 00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:28,000 Speaker 4: Paul because we wanted his strong hand up front, but 1104 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,120 Speaker 4: by doing so. In the evolution of the fight game, 1105 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,720 Speaker 4: it's important to be able to strike from both stances, 1106 00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:37,080 Speaker 4: but understand the reasons why we do that. And now 1107 00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:39,600 Speaker 4: he's kind of taking that game and evolving into his 1108 00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:42,480 Speaker 4: own and his striking is, in my opinion, one of 1109 00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:44,879 Speaker 4: the best in the gym. If we get a green rider, 1110 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:46,760 Speaker 4: we got to make somebody. You know, we got somebody's 1111 00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,040 Speaker 4: got to pay in the room. It's always nice when 1112 00:49:49,040 --> 00:49:51,960 Speaker 4: you put the flyweight on him because he looks so unassuming. 1113 00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,680 Speaker 4: We put the flyweight on the on the welterweight or 1114 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,720 Speaker 4: the middleweight guy, and we'll let Poony have his heyday 1115 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 4: with him and I'll just cash app him fifty bucks 1116 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:01,480 Speaker 4: every time I dropped somebody with a body shot. 1117 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:06,160 Speaker 2: Coach, I couldn't let you go or finished talking about 1118 00:50:06,200 --> 00:50:09,520 Speaker 2: Extreme Coutur without getting a Cheyenne list Miss Upstate.

Luke, do you have any fight week takeaways 1249 00:55:48,560 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 2: from hearing the guys speak from you know, the last 1250 00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,360 Speaker 2: the embedded everything we've seen for all things Olivera Mahachev, 1251 00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,600 Speaker 2: it looked like a tough Wake Cup for Charles Olivera. 1252 00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,000 Speaker 2: His team. They had a team like thirty around him. 1253 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,960 Speaker 2: They documented as every move. But we're in, We're ready, 1254 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,280 Speaker 2: this fight's going down. Anything you learned this week. 1255 00:56:07,160 --> 00:56:10,920 Speaker 1: Honestly, I the fights are so good and the beef 1256 00:56:10,960 --> 00:56:13,680 Speaker 1: feels this is always true. I'm not saying anything that's 1257 00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:17,759 Speaker 1: not usually true, but it feels very pronounced how the 1258 00:56:17,800 --> 00:56:20,720 Speaker 1: fights are so amazing and the card is so amazing, 1259 00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,520 Speaker 1: And I understand you got to sell the beef angle 1260 00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:26,320 Speaker 1: to the casuals, and the casuals are the biggest audience, 1261 00:56:26,320 --> 00:56:28,279 Speaker 1: and it's on paper view. I get it, I get it. 1262 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it. It just seemed this week in 1263 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: particular BC, so unnecessary, like almost a distraction to what 1264 00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,360 Speaker 1: was actually happening about. Oh look, here comes Islam walking 1265 00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:42,839 Speaker 1: by Olavera in the hotel. Yeah, okay, they fucking walk 1266 00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:45,399 Speaker 1: by each other in a hotel like nothing happened. There 1267 00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:47,319 Speaker 1: was no story there, but they we're trying to sell that. 1268 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,399 Speaker 1: It just is a reminder that when the fights are 1269 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:52,960 Speaker 1: so good and the event is so good and by 1270 00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:56,040 Speaker 1: the way, no one to this point, knock on wood. 1271 00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:58,160 Speaker 1: I'll just say, to this point, no one's had a 1272 00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 1: weight issue. Obviously everyone made weight. No one, you know, 1273 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:02,200 Speaker 1: pulled out from the fight on the on the main card. 1274 00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,680 Speaker 1: Again knock on wood. But everything is just lining up 1275 00:57:05,760 --> 00:57:08,440 Speaker 1: to this point the way that it has supposed to be. 1276 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,239 Speaker 1: I did notice that Oliver had a bit of a 1277 00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:12,440 Speaker 1: rough cut, but at the same time BC, he had 1278 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,480 Speaker 1: his whole team around him, like like dozens of guys 1279 00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:18,840 Speaker 1: cheering him. They brought Brazil to Abu Dhabi to make 1280 00:57:18,840 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: this guy as comfortable as possible and honestly look like 1281 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:23,640 Speaker 1: it worked and everyone else did their job as a professional. 1282 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:26,880 Speaker 1: Aljo and TJ look to be in phenomenal shape. Sean 1283 00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:30,600 Speaker 1: Brady looks to be in phenomenal shape. Blah Muhammed as well, Like, dude, 1284 00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: this card is. I mean, you have to be a real, 1285 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:35,480 Speaker 1: real salty dog to not like what's going to happen tomorrow. 1286 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:36,240 Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. 1287 00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:38,880 Speaker 2: Now, Normally the press conference, as you would say, is 1288 00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 2: the gathering of the jugglows, and it had some of 1289 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,680 Speaker 2: those elements to it. But I kind of liked hearing 1290 00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,000 Speaker 2: even with the translation delay, Charles in Islam, you know, 1291 00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:50,880 Speaker 2: getting roared up, starting to trade slings and look, you 1292 00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:53,240 Speaker 2: know a lot of people didn't like the TJ versus 1293 00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,440 Speaker 2: Al Joe trash talk, maybe because they're both kind of 1294 00:57:55,520 --> 00:57:58,120 Speaker 2: like natural villains at heart, and maybe that's part of 1295 00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,960 Speaker 2: why this fight hasn't you know, the headlines the same 1296 00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:04,000 Speaker 2: as the others. But when Yan was was calling, you know, 1297 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,960 Speaker 2: O'Malley basically a horse standing on a street corner. 1298 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:07,920 Speaker 1: I kind of popped. 1299 00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:09,280 Speaker 2: I enjoyed the press conference. 1300 00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 1: Is that that's a funny one. He had a good 1301 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,480 Speaker 1: even even O'Malley thought it was a funny line. I 1302 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:15,919 Speaker 1: will say, O'Malley's been kind of quiet this week. I mean, 1303 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,919 Speaker 1: you know, he was taking pictures with various folks, and 1304 00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,800 Speaker 1: he's been public and visible, but he's not been super 1305 00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 1: chatty from what I can tell. In fact, it's been 1306 00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:28,040 Speaker 1: everyone else around him that has been I don't take 1307 00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:30,520 Speaker 1: that as anything other than I think he's focused on 1308 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:32,560 Speaker 1: the task at hand, which is exactly what you would want, 1309 00:58:32,800 --> 00:58:35,080 Speaker 1: but it is noteworthy he has not been chirping all 1310 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 1: that much. Yeah. 1311 00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:40,120 Speaker 2: Absolutely. We also got to see Haitln Chakajian and Manon 1312 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 2: ferrou and Luke. They were do you see the blame 1313 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,280 Speaker 2: that Farrow came out in. She looked like she was 1314 00:58:44,320 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 2: ready for prime time? 1315 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,040 Speaker 1: I did. It was a very really uh listen. I 1316 00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 1: don't understand the way young people dress, which is an 1317 00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,760 Speaker 1: old man thing to say, yes, but it is also true. 1318 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,240 Speaker 1: I do not understand the way twenty somethings dressed, but 1319 00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: of course I'm not supposed to. It's not form, So 1320 00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:00,840 Speaker 1: there you go. 1321 00:59:00,960 --> 00:59:04,320 Speaker 2: Well, let's close out our anticipation and set up here 1322 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,600 Speaker 2: for all things ola Vera Mahachev. And by the way, 1323 00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,880 Speaker 2: there was some great stat I think that Jedi Goodman 1324 00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 2: had tweeted out about the list of fighters in history 1325 00:59:12,680 --> 00:59:15,120 Speaker 2: who have had wind streaks in the UFC ten or more. 1326 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:18,400 Speaker 2: This is the first matchup where both fighters have Luke, 1327 00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,280 Speaker 2: all the names on there are like the seven or 1328 00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,720 Speaker 2: eight greatest fighters of all time. So we have to 1329 00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:27,560 Speaker 2: really embrace what we have here in terms of, you know, 1330 00:59:27,760 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 2: the style contrast and the accomplishments in the skill level. 1331 00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,479 Speaker 2: This is a badass fight. Both guys have been making 1332 00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,280 Speaker 2: the media rounds this week as well. Luke, let's shout 1333 00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:39,240 Speaker 2: out our colleague here, Shaquille Majori of CBS Sports Canada's 1334 00:59:39,240 --> 00:59:42,920 Speaker 2: own Shaq MMA on YouTube. He's been doing great work. 1335 00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:45,160 Speaker 2: You sometimes see him or his stuff on here. He 1336 00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,880 Speaker 2: had a chat this week with Islam and Mahatchev. 1337 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:48,080 Speaker 3: Luke. 1338 00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 2: It's doing nearly two hundred thousand views on YouTube. 1339 00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,720 Speaker 1: You see this, Yeah, I did good for him. Do 1340 00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,920 Speaker 1: that guy knocks on every door he can, so good 1341 00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:55,440 Speaker 1: for him to get this. 1342 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:57,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, shout out to Shaq. Well, we got two excerpts 1343 00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,800 Speaker 2: from that so Islam said it's not going to be 1344 01:00:00,840 --> 01:00:03,840 Speaker 2: long before an eventual move up to one seventy, but 1345 01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,840 Speaker 2: here's what he wants to accomplish first entering his first 1346 01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 2: title shot. 1347 01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 6: Before then, a lot of people really wanted to know, 1348 01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:13,280 Speaker 6: will Islam move up to well to it at some point? 1349 01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,200 Speaker 6: What do you need to accomplish in the lightweight division 1350 01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 6: before you say okay, it's time whenever that might be 1351 01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 6: one year, two year, ten years. What do you need 1352 01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:21,680 Speaker 6: to finish at lightweight? 1353 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:22,160 Speaker 1: First? 1354 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 7: I need to defend this bill like minimum three or 1355 01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:31,960 Speaker 7: four times. And when I when I see some like 1356 01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:36,120 Speaker 7: you know, some situation in my division, like I don't 1357 01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 7: want to like km U he beat again like the 1358 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:43,200 Speaker 7: same opponents. I don't want this. I'm gonna try to 1359 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,640 Speaker 7: fight as a vision for my legas you know. 1360 01:00:50,560 --> 01:00:55,160 Speaker 2: And secondly, talking to Islam of course about this matchup. Uh, 1361 01:00:55,920 --> 01:00:58,080 Speaker 2: this is an incredible win streak for oli Era. What 1362 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,080 Speaker 2: went wrong though for everyone else? And how will Islam 1363 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:04,360 Speaker 2: be different this time around to end this incredible win 1364 01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:05,120 Speaker 2: streak for all of AARA. 1365 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 3: Let's hear what Jack and Mahchev had to say. 1366 01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,440 Speaker 6: What do you think other fighters have gotten wrong in 1367 01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,200 Speaker 6: their approach when fighting Charles Aliver because thus far it 1368 01:01:13,200 --> 01:01:16,040 Speaker 6: seems like everyone has been hesitant one way or the other. 1369 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,880 Speaker 7: Honestly, everyone you know from the last he's appointed, try 1370 01:01:20,920 --> 01:01:24,520 Speaker 7: to knock him out. All this guy knock him down, 1371 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:28,440 Speaker 7: but nobody go the ground and try to finish him 1372 01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 7: there because all these guys scared and all his grappling skills. 1373 01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:36,480 Speaker 7: That's why there's a big problem. He let him gear 1374 01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:41,160 Speaker 7: up and again they try to like landed hard punch 1375 01:01:41,320 --> 01:01:44,760 Speaker 7: and all this guys so tired. This is I think, 1376 01:01:44,800 --> 01:01:45,440 Speaker 7: big mistake. 1377 01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:51,840 Speaker 1: Look, you have any thoughts on Islam's words, I think 1378 01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:56,760 Speaker 1: that's exactly correct. Now it's Islam doesn't strike me as 1379 01:01:56,760 --> 01:01:59,200 Speaker 1: the kind of guy who is likely to knock down 1380 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,840 Speaker 1: Olivera on the feet, although stranger things have happened, it 1381 01:02:02,960 --> 01:02:07,120 Speaker 1: certainly is possible, one wonders. But what I would say 1382 01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:10,160 Speaker 1: is that I think that's right. Like everyone has kind 1383 01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: of tried to fight fire with fire with him, Like 1384 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,040 Speaker 1: here comes Olivera with all this offense. I'm going to 1385 01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 1: meet him in the middle with the offense and mine 1386 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 1: will overwhelm his, and then that tends to not work. 1387 01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,400 Speaker 1: In fact, his offense Olivera's has overwhelmed all of theirs 1388 01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:24,880 Speaker 1: every single time. Even though OLIVERA has had you know, 1389 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:26,960 Speaker 1: moments where we talked about it with Eric Nixon, he 1390 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,520 Speaker 1: gets dropped or he gets hurt, it just wasn't enough. 1391 01:02:29,920 --> 01:02:31,520 Speaker 1: This is why I think, you know the odds. You 1392 01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:33,160 Speaker 1: can say that they're wrong, but they should be close. 1393 01:02:33,200 --> 01:02:36,480 Speaker 1: Even if you want to have Olivera as your favorite BC, 1394 01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:40,280 Speaker 1: it's because you've got a guy in Islam who sins that. Again, 1395 01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: we talk about the initial loss, but since certainly since 1396 01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:44,320 Speaker 1: the star Yuki in fight and even before that, but 1397 01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,640 Speaker 1: really you're seeing it since then very defensively, Sound, very defensively. 1398 01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:50,960 Speaker 1: Sound doesn't try to walk into I think he really 1399 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,160 Speaker 1: learned his lesson from that fight where he did lose, 1400 01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:55,919 Speaker 1: and so rather than trying to just you know, I'm 1401 01:02:55,920 --> 01:02:59,800 Speaker 1: gonna overwhelm him with his his onslaught, it looks to 1402 01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,800 Speaker 1: me like he's gonna try and diffuse it slowly over time. 1403 01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:05,600 Speaker 1: Will it work, I don't know, but it is a 1404 01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:08,400 Speaker 1: very different approach from what you saw from Chandler, from Parier, 1405 01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:09,760 Speaker 1: from Lee, from other guys. 1406 01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:12,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, we're right around the corner from getting 1407 01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,400 Speaker 2: into this undercart and all things belal Sean Brady. But 1408 01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,640 Speaker 2: first look that comin event I updated odds from DraftKings 1409 01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 2: at the moment, Al Jamaine Sterling your plus one seventy 1410 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 2: five underdog TJ Dillashaw. I'm sorry, let me take that back. 1411 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:29,280 Speaker 2: Minus one seventy five. Sterling is the favorite plus one 1412 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,840 Speaker 2: p fifty though Dila Shaw is the underdog. It seems 1413 01:03:31,840 --> 01:03:34,800 Speaker 2: like it's gotten a little bit closer. Here. You heard 1414 01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:37,360 Speaker 2: from Eric Nixon, who's now the other side of the 1415 01:03:37,400 --> 01:03:40,720 Speaker 2: coaching brain at the moment for Sterling, but of course 1416 01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:43,680 Speaker 2: he comes from Ray Longo, Long Island and all things there. 1417 01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:46,320 Speaker 2: Shack also caught up with ray Longo and Luke. As 1418 01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 2: much as you know it matters, are not entering into 1419 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 2: the handicapping of this Aljo versus TJ fight, the reputation, 1420 01:03:53,760 --> 01:03:56,439 Speaker 2: the drug use of TJ. It's like we're still talking 1421 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,959 Speaker 2: about it. Should we still be talking about it? Here's 1422 01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:00,600 Speaker 2: what coach Longo had to say. 1423 01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 8: Look, I think it's it's a really worthy narrative because 1424 01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:06,920 Speaker 8: the guy's a Cheatah. He's a convicted cheatah. So what 1425 01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:08,680 Speaker 8: do we just brush it under the rug like it 1426 01:04:08,720 --> 01:04:12,480 Speaker 8: never happened? You know, Shaquille, they come out with an 1427 01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:15,760 Speaker 8: alarm tomorrow on a new car, and it's it that 1428 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,080 Speaker 8: they already figured out how to break into it a 1429 01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:19,680 Speaker 8: day later, you know what I'm saying. 1430 01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 9: So with this type of stuff, if you're addicted, right, 1431 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:26,040 Speaker 9: because that's an addiction, Like why. 1432 01:04:25,880 --> 01:04:27,080 Speaker 8: Would you cheat? 1433 01:04:27,360 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 1: I have no idea. 1434 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,600 Speaker 9: I've never I've never done it, so I don't know. 1435 01:04:30,680 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 9: I don't know what the effects are. But you have 1436 01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 9: something going on that's negative to make you do that. 1437 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:41,400 Speaker 9: That that's pretty rotten in this sport, like you're purposely cheating. Right, 1438 01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:45,040 Speaker 9: So if you don't think that there's a possibility that 1439 01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:48,560 Speaker 9: he got caught and he understands why he got caught, 1440 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,680 Speaker 9: he didn't fix that, then I think that would be 1441 01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:53,520 Speaker 9: a naive way of looking at it. But yet you 1442 01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:56,200 Speaker 9: have to be aware. I guarantee you one thing. If 1443 01:04:56,240 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 9: Alji loses that fight, he's not bringing that up. He's 1444 01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:01,600 Speaker 9: not going to do mall cunt. It's that I don't 1445 01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:04,800 Speaker 9: I would find that hard to believe, but I think 1446 01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:07,720 Speaker 9: it's a worthy narrative just to maybe prevent other people 1447 01:05:07,800 --> 01:05:10,120 Speaker 9: from doing it in the future. And I feel like 1448 01:05:10,160 --> 01:05:12,480 Speaker 9: he's doing the right thing. He has to do that 1449 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,520 Speaker 9: to highlight you know, this is what goes on sometimes 1450 01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 9: in the sport, and it's not right. 1451 01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:20,440 Speaker 1: Now. 1452 01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 2: Look, you and I are I'm becoming more like you. 1453 01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 2: I don't know should I call you liberal or ultra 1454 01:05:25,400 --> 01:05:27,760 Speaker 2: conservative in your ped takes. I guess it depends on 1455 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,040 Speaker 2: your stands. But I'm becoming more like you. And when 1456 01:05:30,080 --> 01:05:34,880 Speaker 2: I hear this narrative, it's not untrue. But the reality 1457 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,840 Speaker 2: of the testing system is when you pass, we don't 1458 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,760 Speaker 2: know if you're dirty or not. We can really assume 1459 01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:43,080 Speaker 2: a lot, and I think you're naive to assume that 1460 01:05:43,160 --> 01:05:46,080 Speaker 2: people aren't being dirty. So the system is the way 1461 01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,520 Speaker 2: the system is. And if TJ passes the test and 1462 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 2: gets into this fight, no matter oh shredded he looks, 1463 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:53,400 Speaker 2: or acne we find on his back, or you know, 1464 01:05:53,400 --> 01:05:55,840 Speaker 2: if he wins by knockout in the first round. The 1465 01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:57,800 Speaker 2: way the system is set up. If this guy passes, 1466 01:05:57,840 --> 01:06:01,000 Speaker 2: he passes, dude, So should we just bury this? I mean, 1467 01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:02,959 Speaker 2: I don't know what to do in the modern era 1468 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:06,840 Speaker 2: with convicted users who do their time and come back, 1469 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:09,720 Speaker 2: keep mentioning it or just go you know this is 1470 01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:10,480 Speaker 2: the game we play? 1471 01:06:11,080 --> 01:06:12,720 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you just have to decide what the 1472 01:06:12,800 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 1: value is of you Sada, right. I mean the idea 1473 01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,520 Speaker 1: would be that they caught him. He served a long 1474 01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:20,480 Speaker 1: suspension two years, lost his title, right, there was a 1475 01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:23,480 Speaker 1: real problem there, and so you would say, okay, well 1476 01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,640 Speaker 1: is the system working or not? And so he has 1477 01:06:26,720 --> 01:06:28,760 Speaker 1: been back with USADA for however long it's been since 1478 01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,840 Speaker 1: he returned, and he has to our knowledge not had 1479 01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,920 Speaker 1: any kind of issue. Either you have trust in that 1480 01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:36,400 Speaker 1: system or you do not. I do not be quite clear. 1481 01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,040 Speaker 1: I mean, there's some obviously value to it, to the 1482 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:40,880 Speaker 1: extent you want to screen for these kinds of things, 1483 01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: but it's hardly as ironclad I think as folks might 1484 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 1: imagine it to be. But you know, the real test 1485 01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:50,440 Speaker 1: is not whether or not this promotion has this kind 1486 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:53,040 Speaker 1: of testing or that promotion that doesn't. The question is 1487 01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,720 Speaker 1: merely do you have tested or untested that's really clean 1488 01:06:55,800 --> 01:06:57,960 Speaker 1: or dirty whatever word you would like to use. And 1489 01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,360 Speaker 1: by the way, these are all terms that antid has 1490 01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,640 Speaker 1: forced on the conversation to moralize it in certain ways. 1491 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:05,200 Speaker 1: I want to be very clear about that as well. 1492 01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:08,280 Speaker 1: But you know, there's one thing I think ray Longo said, 1493 01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:09,880 Speaker 1: which was, again, if you agree to a certain set 1494 01:07:09,880 --> 01:07:12,360 Speaker 1: of rules, you cannot break them. So TJ did wrong, 1495 01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:14,320 Speaker 1: and he did serve a punishment, and he is under 1496 01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,880 Speaker 1: what everyone tells me is a very good sort of 1497 01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: screening system. But the other thing he said was like, 1498 01:07:19,480 --> 01:07:21,520 Speaker 1: this is an addiction here. No it is not. No, 1499 01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:24,040 Speaker 1: it is not. That is not pharmologically true. That is 1500 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:26,360 Speaker 1: not It could be like a psychological crutch in the 1501 01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,040 Speaker 1: way that he feels like he needs it for competition, 1502 01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,440 Speaker 1: but in any kind of pharmological sense that there's no 1503 01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:34,479 Speaker 1: addictive properties. That's simply not accurate in the way he's 1504 01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:36,840 Speaker 1: just describing there. And I love Ray Longo, he's great, 1505 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:40,080 Speaker 1: and I understand a coach also. I think, listen, it's 1506 01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:43,040 Speaker 1: the fight game. You are allowed to bring up just 1507 01:07:43,160 --> 01:07:45,840 Speaker 1: about sort of like legally defamatory stuff, and even then 1508 01:07:45,840 --> 01:07:48,560 Speaker 1: people bring it up whatever you want. TJ did this. 1509 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:50,880 Speaker 1: He agreed to this system. He agreed to be a 1510 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:53,080 Speaker 1: part of you, SATA, he agreed to the punishment. He 1511 01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,320 Speaker 1: wanted to come back. Well, this is what you have 1512 01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,320 Speaker 1: to deal with. I just want everyone to understand this 1513 01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:01,320 Speaker 1: moralizing process where we go through through it. It tries 1514 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,920 Speaker 1: to it tries to hide what the real conversation is 1515 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,120 Speaker 1: about why guys use it or why guys feel like 1516 01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 1: they need it, what benefits it actually confers in what 1517 01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:11,120 Speaker 1: it all means. They want to make it us about 1518 01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,920 Speaker 1: good versus evil, when when we know for a fact 1519 01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:15,400 Speaker 1: that's really not how this goes. 1520 01:08:15,880 --> 01:08:18,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, the decider is the testing system. 1521 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 2: So if you pass the testing system, that's why when 1522 01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:22,920 Speaker 2: people fail and then they still want to go forward 1523 01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,760 Speaker 2: for the fight, then it's a con show. Then it's like, 1524 01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,760 Speaker 2: what are we doing here? You put the system in place, 1525 01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:28,800 Speaker 2: whether the system is legit or it's just there to 1526 01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:31,040 Speaker 2: cover your ass. I just don't. I don't know, I don't. 1527 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,360 Speaker 2: I don't like that from Longo, but I disagree with you. 1528 01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:35,400 Speaker 2: I think there is an addiction element to it, even 1529 01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 2: things that are not science. Addiction. You know that people 1530 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 2: say can't be addicted to weed, Luke. Remember what Bob 1531 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,439 Speaker 2: Saggat said and half baked No Oh, I don't know 1532 01:08:44,479 --> 01:08:46,519 Speaker 2: if I can repeat that here, but it's very funny. Okay, 1533 01:08:46,640 --> 01:08:47,519 Speaker 2: the late Bob saga. 1534 01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:47,920 Speaker 3: Thank you. 1535 01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:51,120 Speaker 2: I feel like you can be addicted to anything, Luke. Okay, 1536 01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,000 Speaker 2: I want to close quickly before we get the undercard. 1537 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,639 Speaker 2: Here's coach Longo on the on this this question that's 1538 01:08:55,680 --> 01:08:58,000 Speaker 2: coming up a lot. Al Jo just went to the 1539 01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,760 Speaker 2: next level against Jahan in the rematch. What more can 1540 01:09:00,760 --> 01:09:03,679 Speaker 2: he show us that we haven't seen heading into. 1541 01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:09,519 Speaker 1: This or not? 1542 01:09:10,840 --> 01:09:11,280 Speaker 2: Maybe? 1543 01:09:13,560 --> 01:09:16,000 Speaker 1: All right, that's a fun clip. 1544 01:09:16,320 --> 01:09:18,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, that was great, thanks guys. Okay, thanks, all right, 1545 01:09:18,360 --> 01:09:20,360 Speaker 2: we'll just I guess we'll just keep going. Then that's 1546 01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:23,679 Speaker 2: your co main event right there. Yeah, it was great 1547 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,479 Speaker 2: talking to you guys back there. Thank you. Okay, we'll 1548 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,040 Speaker 2: keep going here, Luke, the rest of two eighty and look, 1549 01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:31,639 Speaker 2: we haven't previewed this, we haven't hit it. And when 1550 01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:35,960 Speaker 2: we're talking about this key welterweight top ten title positioning 1551 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:40,000 Speaker 2: about between Balal Muhammad and the Red Hot fifteen and 1552 01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:43,360 Speaker 2: oh Sean Brady, we are talking about a little bit 1553 01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:47,240 Speaker 2: more than the storylines of Habib and Blaal's corner. What's 1554 01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,120 Speaker 2: at steak for them as fighters? I mean that's pretty important, 1555 01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,800 Speaker 2: But Luke, what about what's at steak for this underdeveloped 1556 01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:57,080 Speaker 2: left outside of my bicep tricep area right here? 1557 01:09:57,160 --> 01:09:57,360 Speaker 5: Luke? 1558 01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:59,280 Speaker 2: What is that steak right here? 1559 01:09:59,320 --> 01:10:00,720 Speaker 3: I mean, are we really this is this? 1560 01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 2: Is this really happening here? 1561 01:10:01,920 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 1: Luke? It's a I mean, it's not a chore for me. 1562 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:06,680 Speaker 1: It'd be a delight for me. The question is what 1563 01:10:06,680 --> 01:10:07,639 Speaker 1: does it mean for you? 1564 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:12,080 Speaker 2: All Right, we'll get to that point. If you look, 1565 01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 2: if you would sleeping under a rock. You know, we 1566 01:10:13,439 --> 01:10:15,680 Speaker 2: had John Brady on room service diaries. You know we 1567 01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,400 Speaker 2: said for his next fight, which we knew was going 1568 01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,479 Speaker 2: to be a big Top ten fight, if you win it, 1569 01:10:19,920 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 2: Shawn's idea, We'll go to Philly, We'll eat tacos, we'll 1570 01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:27,240 Speaker 2: get tattoos together in this virgin cherry body, pale cherries 1571 01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,120 Speaker 2: will get popped, Luke, in front of your eyes. If 1572 01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,800 Speaker 2: Showtime provides a doc cam and Jake and they pay 1573 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,880 Speaker 2: for the tat, is that realistic, Luke? I? 1574 01:10:37,880 --> 01:10:39,719 Speaker 1: If Sean Brady wins, it better. 1575 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:44,400 Speaker 2: Be because you know, people think I'm scared. I'm willing 1576 01:10:44,439 --> 01:10:47,120 Speaker 2: to do this shit because I gave my Everyone. 1577 01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:48,920 Speaker 1: Thinks you're going to welch on this deal. I want. 1578 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:52,120 Speaker 1: I've seen the comments on social media. Everyone's like, no, 1579 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:53,040 Speaker 1: BC's not doing this. 1580 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 2: Well, you read my rider. Showtime pay for the tat, 1581 01:10:56,439 --> 01:10:58,840 Speaker 2: Jake and the doc cameras. You know, Loo, Because Luke, 1582 01:10:58,960 --> 01:11:02,000 Speaker 2: there are very few things in I don't like. I'll 1583 01:11:02,040 --> 01:11:06,200 Speaker 2: tell you what they are, Okay, you ready. Spiders, black licorice, 1584 01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:16,720 Speaker 2: chicks with tattoos, male asstats and needles and that's it. 1585 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:17,040 Speaker 3: Luke. 1586 01:11:17,200 --> 01:11:19,840 Speaker 2: I hate that shit. So for me to you know, 1587 01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 2: I'm putting, I'm putting the I'll put my life on 1588 01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,240 Speaker 2: the line here. I'm all in on this, Luke. Okay, 1589 01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,439 Speaker 2: I know the fighters will be as well, So let's 1590 01:11:26,479 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 2: get serious for a second. The preliminary featured about on ESPN. 1591 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:34,160 Speaker 2: In a reminder, we've been saying noon Eastern, it's two 1592 01:11:34,160 --> 01:11:37,880 Speaker 2: pm Eastern Saturday afternoon from Abu Dhabi. 1593 01:11:37,960 --> 01:11:38,400 Speaker 3: This card. 1594 01:11:38,880 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 2: The early prelim start at ten am though. But look, 1595 01:11:41,880 --> 01:11:45,759 Speaker 2: this is your feature at ESPN afternoon delight. Blah. Mohammad 1596 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,360 Speaker 2: is a plus one twenty underdog minus one forty. Sean 1597 01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:52,120 Speaker 2: Brady break this fight down to me, what should we 1598 01:11:52,160 --> 01:11:54,599 Speaker 2: be looking for because this is a hell of a matchup. 1599 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 1: Well, I gotta tell you these guys are about us 1600 01:11:57,600 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: closely matched, not just an ability, but are seemingly inability. 1601 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:05,880 Speaker 1: I guess we'll see tomorrow. But the stats are I 1602 01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:08,439 Speaker 1: mean they they're like mirror images of each other. It's 1603 01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,559 Speaker 1: the spider Man meme. Pointing at each other here a 1604 01:12:10,560 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 1: little bit right, so they're both For example, bal Mohammed 1605 01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,280 Speaker 1: five to eleven, Sean Brady five to ten. Balal Mohammed 1606 01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,040 Speaker 1: an average five time of thirteen minutes and fifty six seconds, 1607 01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,639 Speaker 1: Sean Brady thirteen minutes and three seconds. Now, Sean Brady 1608 01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,479 Speaker 1: is about four years younger, so there's little bit of 1609 01:12:24,479 --> 01:12:26,679 Speaker 1: a difference there. But how about strikes landed per minute 1610 01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,679 Speaker 1: bal Mohammed four point three to one strikes absorbed three 1611 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:31,840 Speaker 1: point five eighty has a nice differential, a little bit 1612 01:12:31,960 --> 01:12:34,040 Speaker 1: narrower for Sean Brady, but not by a whole lot. 1613 01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,080 Speaker 1: He has three point nine to one strikes landed per 1614 01:12:37,080 --> 01:12:39,600 Speaker 1: minute three point two two strikes absorb. So here's a 1615 01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:42,960 Speaker 1: positive differential about point seven. You got about a point 1616 01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,479 Speaker 1: eight for bloh Mohammed striking accuracy, forty three percent for Mohammed, 1617 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:50,360 Speaker 1: fifty four percent for Brady, striking defense fifty nine Mohammed 1618 01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:53,280 Speaker 1: sixty two Brady. And even in the grappling, two point 1619 01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:56,439 Speaker 1: twenty nine takedowns per fifteen minutes for Bolomahammed three point 1620 01:12:56,520 --> 01:12:59,240 Speaker 1: two to two for Brady. Takedown accuracy is where they 1621 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:01,679 Speaker 1: differ a little bit, although you got to remember, Balah 1622 01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:04,880 Speaker 1: Mohammed is, you know, very good about chaining takedowns together. 1623 01:13:05,200 --> 01:13:07,880 Speaker 1: Thirty five percent accuracy, which is low but again not 1624 01:13:07,920 --> 01:13:10,880 Speaker 1: really the full story. Sixty percent for Sean Brady take 1625 01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:13,760 Speaker 1: Down Defense ninety one versus eighty seven. I mean, on 1626 01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,920 Speaker 1: and on, these guys are just right next to each other, 1627 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:20,960 Speaker 1: very very close. It's the difference between them is going 1628 01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:23,519 Speaker 1: to be just I honestly think who can get after 1629 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,760 Speaker 1: it first. Both of these guys cannot let the other 1630 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,160 Speaker 1: one begin to set the tone and then you're fighting 1631 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,160 Speaker 1: on the other guy's terms to get back to neutral 1632 01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,640 Speaker 1: or something else. Though, the person who wins this is 1633 01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:35,960 Speaker 1: going to be the one that is absolutely getting after it, 1634 01:13:36,040 --> 01:13:39,400 Speaker 1: defining the complexion. And honestly, it's really hard to tell. 1635 01:13:39,400 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 1: I'm riding with Sean Brady because I think he's a 1636 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:43,080 Speaker 1: great friend of the show, and I think, you know, 1637 01:13:43,240 --> 01:13:48,240 Speaker 1: he is a talented, potential title contender in this division. 1638 01:13:48,560 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 1: But you know, Blalah Mohammed is a guy who's proved 1639 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:52,080 Speaker 1: a lot of people wrong. I raised my hand as 1640 01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,080 Speaker 1: being one of them. It's a it's a really, really, 1641 01:13:55,240 --> 01:13:57,840 Speaker 1: really tough call. Bece. I wonder if you have a 1642 01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,880 Speaker 1: gangster lean one way or the other on this. 1643 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:03,000 Speaker 2: I'm getting what's really the beginning of a vision right now. 1644 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,040 Speaker 2: Probably at about a minute, I'm gonna have it full. 1645 01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,519 Speaker 2: I'm starting to be able to see what this fight's 1646 01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:08,320 Speaker 2: going to look like. But before we get there, Luke, 1647 01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:10,439 Speaker 2: as we look at this now, Sean Brady, we love 1648 01:14:10,439 --> 01:14:11,840 Speaker 2: the guy. He's been on our couch. I'd hang with 1649 01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:13,640 Speaker 2: him any day. I loved you. Tako was with him. 1650 01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:17,840 Speaker 2: But the fighter, Sean Brady, is there any concern? I mean, 1651 01:14:17,880 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 2: if would you say, you know, his biggest win to 1652 01:14:19,600 --> 01:14:22,680 Speaker 2: date before this was Michael Kiessa problem. Maybe probably, but 1653 01:14:23,280 --> 01:14:26,280 Speaker 2: there's that narrative that he faded late. How big of 1654 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:30,080 Speaker 2: a you know, potential pitfall is the hangover of that? 1655 01:14:30,200 --> 01:14:32,719 Speaker 2: Does he have to prove us wrong in that category 1656 01:14:32,800 --> 01:14:34,040 Speaker 2: to win this fight against Belah? 1657 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 1: So there was that, But he remember he I spoke 1658 01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,719 Speaker 1: to him about that Hero Morning combat in a separate 1659 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,200 Speaker 1: interview right after the time that that fight took place, 1660 01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:44,599 Speaker 1: and he told me his nose was broken right at 1661 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,519 Speaker 1: the beginning of that fight. So he was just swallowing 1662 01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 1: blood left and right, left and right. It was distracting. 1663 01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:51,160 Speaker 1: It was difficult. You know, and I think there's still 1664 01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:52,800 Speaker 1: probably an argument to be made about does he have 1665 01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,919 Speaker 1: enough ground and pound when he gets to control positions. 1666 01:14:55,920 --> 01:14:57,559 Speaker 1: He obviously as strong as an ox. We had Michael 1667 01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:59,760 Speaker 1: Kiesa said on the RSD couch and he was like, 1668 01:14:59,800 --> 01:15:02,920 Speaker 1: hold shit, Sean Brady is so fucking strong. So we 1669 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:04,840 Speaker 1: know he can get to those positions. Can he make 1670 01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:07,080 Speaker 1: enough of that work? I tend to think that that 1671 01:15:07,320 --> 01:15:11,400 Speaker 1: performance was not his best showcase. This should be a 1672 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,680 Speaker 1: better one, at least in terms of like the totality 1673 01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:18,120 Speaker 1: of what his true abilities are. So it could be 1674 01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,360 Speaker 1: true that he fades, and if he does in a 1675 01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:22,600 Speaker 1: three round contest will be worse than a five. But 1676 01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 1: in a three round contest, Muhammad is not gonna fade. 1677 01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 1: Like we can say that very clearly. Muhammad is not 1678 01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,360 Speaker 1: gonna fade. So I do think it will be interesting 1679 01:15:31,400 --> 01:15:32,600 Speaker 1: in the third round. I just don't know if we 1680 01:15:32,640 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 1: have enough evidence to affirmatively conclude Brady fades in that 1681 01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,600 Speaker 1: third round. And you know, I do think, I mean, 1682 01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 1: look at that, look at these two physically, like put 1683 01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:44,599 Speaker 1: that put that last photo of the side by side 1684 01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:46,280 Speaker 1: their intense. 1685 01:15:46,320 --> 01:15:46,720 Speaker 2: I liked it. 1686 01:15:47,439 --> 01:15:51,680 Speaker 1: Remember something blah Mohammed is jacked as shit. Okay, look 1687 01:15:51,760 --> 01:15:55,880 Speaker 1: at Sean Brady's back. He doesn't have poor posture. I 1688 01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,559 Speaker 1: want to be clear about that. His muscles just keep going. 1689 01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,600 Speaker 1: He is is a fucking freak from Philadelphia. And by 1690 01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,640 Speaker 1: the way, you see, you know there are you know, 1691 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:09,559 Speaker 1: sports rivals to the north. Philly sports is on fire 1692 01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:11,760 Speaker 1: right now. You got the Eagles of the I think 1693 01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:14,240 Speaker 1: the only undefeated team in the NFL, the Phillies out there. 1694 01:16:14,560 --> 01:16:17,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing well, I think obviously in the NLCS. It's 1695 01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:19,960 Speaker 1: amazing what's happening in Philly sports. So maybe Sean Brady 1696 01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:20,639 Speaker 1: can keep that going. 1697 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:22,320 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 1698 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,599 Speaker 2: The stare downs between these two have been intense. The crowd, 1699 01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:27,240 Speaker 2: we know is going to be for Muhammad. They've been 1700 01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:29,840 Speaker 2: embracing all the Muslim fighters in that area of the world, 1701 01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:32,320 Speaker 2: rightfully so. But I like that Sean Brady at least 1702 01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:35,120 Speaker 2: attempted to do his mic drop moment on them, and 1703 01:16:35,720 --> 01:16:37,360 Speaker 2: a little bit of a villain coming out of there. 1704 01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:40,839 Speaker 2: He's like Rocky in Moscow here, Luke, I love this matchup, 1705 01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:42,720 Speaker 2: but I do have a vision about this fight, and 1706 01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:44,560 Speaker 2: I want to put it out there, Luke. You know 1707 01:16:44,560 --> 01:16:47,439 Speaker 2: I'm already under fire from my previewing on Wednesday show. 1708 01:16:47,560 --> 01:16:49,840 Speaker 1: Look, sorry you're under fire. 1709 01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I'm sorry. You know I dip too much 1710 01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:55,600 Speaker 2: in the entertainment jar sometimes, all right, Luke, I do 1711 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,080 Speaker 2: believe in some of my weird transgressions in the way 1712 01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,320 Speaker 2: I look at fights. Okay, sorry, Yeah, I can your 1713 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,640 Speaker 2: traditional preview too. This one feels more like a vision though. 1714 01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 2: People are gonna say I'm afraid, right, Luke, and I 1715 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 2: think they should believe I'm afraid. I'm afraid. Look, I 1716 01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:10,160 Speaker 2: hate needles, you know, Dom I have the softest guy 1717 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,639 Speaker 2: in the world, Lucor. Do I just feel things more 1718 01:17:12,680 --> 01:17:14,800 Speaker 2: deeper and intense than the average guy? Is that why 1719 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:17,200 Speaker 2: the three needles to the bag on the vast sect was, 1720 01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:20,160 Speaker 2: you know, an emotionally damaging moment in my life? 1721 01:17:20,600 --> 01:17:22,840 Speaker 1: You know, here's the here's the truth. I don't. I'm 1722 01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:24,800 Speaker 1: not a tough guy either at all. And I know 1723 01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:26,800 Speaker 1: I'm not. But here's the one thing I can say 1724 01:17:26,840 --> 01:17:30,560 Speaker 1: for myself. I have signed up for situations that I 1725 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,680 Speaker 1: hated the entire time, like the Marine Corps. I mean, 1726 01:17:33,720 --> 01:17:35,479 Speaker 1: I like being the Marine Corps, but this shit was hard, man. 1727 01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:37,479 Speaker 1: I didn't you know it was? Each time you went 1728 01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:39,360 Speaker 1: out there. It's like, oh, it's gonna be below zero 1729 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,200 Speaker 1: and we have to go in the field and fire 1730 01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: artillery remounds. This fucking blows man. I hate him. My 1731 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,160 Speaker 1: toes were always cold. To shit sucked. But after it 1732 01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,519 Speaker 1: was over, I was like, I'm glad I did that, 1733 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:53,040 Speaker 1: so like it has pushed me, pulled me a whatever 1734 01:17:53,600 --> 01:17:55,559 Speaker 1: metaphor you want to use, to a place I would 1735 01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,120 Speaker 1: never have comfortably gone. I think the only difference between 1736 01:17:58,120 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 1: you and me is I don't think I'm tougher, but 1737 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,880 Speaker 1: I had to do tougher shit by dumbass choices that 1738 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:03,519 Speaker 1: I've made. 1739 01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:07,000 Speaker 2: All Right, you know this may be a dumbass choice. 1740 01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:09,080 Speaker 2: But am I signed up for this? Will I stand 1741 01:18:09,200 --> 01:18:12,160 Speaker 2: up on my own integrity forged in the fire of 1742 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:15,560 Speaker 2: the factory town? Luke, you better believe I am. But 1743 01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,760 Speaker 2: visions or visions, Luke, we can't pick who we love. 1744 01:18:17,800 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 2: We can't pick what we see. And as BC goes 1745 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:25,639 Speaker 2: deeper in this, it's coming, Luke, It's coming full circle. 1746 01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:25,840 Speaker 1: Here. 1747 01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:36,400 Speaker 5: What I'm seeing, I can see it, I can see 1748 01:18:36,439 --> 01:18:37,519 Speaker 5: the head, I can see it. 1749 01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:43,439 Speaker 2: What, Luke, here's the deal. Okay, here's the deal. I'm 1750 01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,840 Speaker 2: not doing this because I'm scared of not doing this 1751 01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,320 Speaker 2: because it's a bit. It's what I see. I love 1752 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,240 Speaker 2: Sean Brady. I want that guy to go sixteen to 1753 01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,200 Speaker 2: oh and be the champion and we're our drug bro 1754 01:18:52,400 --> 01:18:56,000 Speaker 2: at the next UFC press conference. But Bama Muhammad is tough. 1755 01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:58,200 Speaker 2: He's got the best hits in UFC and I've seen 1756 01:18:58,240 --> 01:19:01,160 Speaker 2: them all Luke, and he's got a motor. He's got 1757 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,960 Speaker 2: Abib in his corner for whatever you believe that that is. 1758 01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:07,879 Speaker 2: But over three rounds, if his physical toughness in takedown 1759 01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,040 Speaker 2: defense can be at least a halftime factor, a part 1760 01:19:11,120 --> 01:19:14,120 Speaker 2: time to mid time factor here, keep his back off 1761 01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,920 Speaker 2: there and turn this into more of a striking battle. 1762 01:19:17,400 --> 01:19:20,639 Speaker 2: We know he can survive in a grinded out war. 1763 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,479 Speaker 2: We know that he's about that. I think three rounds 1764 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:25,200 Speaker 2: won't be enough, meaning I think this will be a 1765 01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:27,920 Speaker 2: fairly even fight. But at the end of three rounds, 1766 01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:30,680 Speaker 2: Muhammed's gonna win a close decision and advance to that 1767 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:33,439 Speaker 2: next level. And you could say that you know, I'm 1768 01:19:33,479 --> 01:19:36,719 Speaker 2: fearful about the needle and the damage done, and that's true. 1769 01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:40,040 Speaker 2: But if Sean Brady wins this, I'll be fired up 1770 01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,120 Speaker 2: for my boy, and I'll be there with the needle 1771 01:19:42,160 --> 01:19:44,200 Speaker 2: in the spoon in Philadelphia, Luke, whatever you got, whatever 1772 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,800 Speaker 2: you need from me. Okay, I'll donate the blood. I'll 1773 01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:50,000 Speaker 2: do the shit. Okay, but you better remember the name 1774 01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:52,000 Speaker 2: because it's going to be his time here in Abu 1775 01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:54,400 Speaker 2: Dhabi on Saturday. It's it's what I've seen. 1776 01:19:54,720 --> 01:19:57,160 Speaker 1: Okay, I've seen. You can leave the spoon at home, 1777 01:19:57,760 --> 01:20:01,320 Speaker 1: right or not. We're not cooking. That part is not 1778 01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:02,880 Speaker 1: gonna help you. You know what I'm saying. 1779 01:20:03,240 --> 01:20:05,479 Speaker 2: I don't need that rubber band to just you know, 1780 01:20:05,680 --> 01:20:06,479 Speaker 2: I don't need that shit. 1781 01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:08,280 Speaker 1: Okay, the belt for your arm, you don't need any 1782 01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:10,720 Speaker 1: of that. You just gotta be calm, relax. Let the 1783 01:20:10,800 --> 01:20:12,960 Speaker 1: artist do his thing and you'll be Okay. I'm gonna 1784 01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 1: ride with our guy Brady here. I think he gets 1785 01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:16,080 Speaker 1: it done. I think it's gonna be tough as shit. 1786 01:20:16,439 --> 01:20:18,120 Speaker 1: It's gonna be very tough, and I think there's no 1787 01:20:18,360 --> 01:20:20,640 Speaker 1: way that the law doesn't at least win around, you know, 1788 01:20:20,720 --> 01:20:22,720 Speaker 1: and probably gonna be another controversial one there. 1789 01:20:22,800 --> 01:20:25,320 Speaker 2: But oh, it's gonna be a close decision. It's gonna 1790 01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:26,280 Speaker 2: be a disputed one, you. 1791 01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:28,439 Speaker 1: Know it is. Yeah, I mean, unless someone has a 1792 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:30,920 Speaker 1: great burst of inspiration.

Mohammed Makayev is back, great prospect. We'll 1835 01:22:12,920 --> 01:22:15,439 Speaker 1: see how he looks. Armen Petrosian seems to be like 1836 01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,479 Speaker 1: very talented, but a little bit lopsided in skill set. Oh, 1837 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:20,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what's gonna happen there. As you mentioned, 1838 01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,200 Speaker 1: I have a card number. Gomedo's on here. The one 1839 01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:23,600 Speaker 1: that's going a little bit under the radar will be 1840 01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,560 Speaker 1: the vulcan Uzdamir Nikita Krilov fight at two hundred and 1841 01:22:26,600 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 1: five pounds, another very very close contest. And then Kyle Bohalio, 1842 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,120 Speaker 1: who has like all the tats on his neck and 1843 01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,320 Speaker 1: ship who's a really good grappler.

Missed weaight like eight gazillion times. 1876 01:23:43,880 --> 01:23:47,200 Speaker 1: This is a bantamweight fight, so it's one thirty five. 1877 01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:49,479 Speaker 1: Well you would think it's one thirty five. He has 1878 01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 1: to make one forty five because it's the one Bansam 1879 01:23:51,880 --> 01:23:54,280 Speaker 1: weight So it's actually for what we would call in 1880 01:23:54,400 --> 01:23:58,280 Speaker 1: the ten point must system or whatever the American regulatory 1881 01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:02,400 Speaker 1: system he basically fail a featherweight fucking way in test 1882 01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,080 Speaker 1: like in this guy fought at one five at one 1883 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:08,439 Speaker 1: point what he lost his fucking title on the scales. 1884 01:24:08,680 --> 01:24:10,360 Speaker 1: And I gotta tell you, man, if you've not heard 1885 01:24:10,560 --> 01:24:13,320 Speaker 1: his opponent, I watch tape on him, uh this morning. 1886 01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:18,120 Speaker 1: For Bco Deondroge or for Brisio Androge, he is fucking awesome. 1887 01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:23,800 Speaker 1: Southpaw guy can strike his ass off, lightning, quick combinations, 1888 01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:28,280 Speaker 1: devastating finisher, has all kinds of knees and kicks and weapons, 1889 01:24:28,320 --> 01:24:30,920 Speaker 1: and guys are approaching, retreating. You name it, dude. John 1890 01:24:30,960 --> 01:24:33,000 Speaker 1: Linneker is probably the heavier handed of the two. For 1891 01:24:33,080 --> 01:24:36,519 Speaker 1: Bisio Androge is one thousand percent gonna turn this into 1892 01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:40,000 Speaker 1: a very very exciting striking bout and of the two, 1893 01:24:40,080 --> 01:24:42,240 Speaker 1: he's the much more polished. Will it matter against the 1894 01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:43,559 Speaker 1: power punching we'll see. 1895 01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,760 Speaker 2: Luke, I gotta say this separate from sometimes we take 1896 01:24:46,840 --> 01:24:49,880 Speaker 2: issue with things that Chatri says.

Anything else MMA that's jumping out at you. 1908 01:25:20,400 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 2: On this card there you always get a mix from one. 1909 01:25:22,479 --> 01:25:23,360 Speaker 2: I mean it's been exciting. 1910 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean there are some other fights on this 1911 01:25:26,960 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 1: card and in MMA. None exactly grabbed me too much, 1912 01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,720 Speaker 1: you know, I I don't have a clear understanding of 1913 01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:36,120 Speaker 1: a lot of these guys. Some of them are more 1914 01:25:36,240 --> 01:25:38,360 Speaker 1: up and coming in the ONE system, so I'm not 1915 01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:40,599 Speaker 1: overly familiar. Obviously. This is a little bit more. They 1916 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:42,479 Speaker 1: have a lightweight muay Thai about, they have a featherweight 1917 01:25:42,600 --> 01:25:44,760 Speaker 1: kickboxing about, and then of course the other sort of 1918 01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:47,000 Speaker 1: gem on the card for North American fans would be 1919 01:25:47,320 --> 01:25:49,599 Speaker 1: Caid rule Tolo taking on I think two time world 1920 01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,439 Speaker 1: champion and saw but Wally Kurzev, which you know is 1921 01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:56,560 Speaker 1: a it's a one round, twelve minute contest. Remember I 1922 01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:58,680 Speaker 1: think it was Caid who was the one who was 1923 01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:02,000 Speaker 1: pushing off the fence to fully take the back and 1924 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:06,599 Speaker 1: whip around and choke out Shinyaoki. So like these guys, 1925 01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:08,200 Speaker 1: man the rule of Toller Brothers, the Kate is the 1926 01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:10,720 Speaker 1: one with the big hair, and then Tie is the 1927 01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:13,720 Speaker 1: one that's got shaved close. These two guys are not 1928 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:18,400 Speaker 1: just really talented BC, they're very creative, innovative risk takers. 1929 01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:20,760 Speaker 1: I cannot state that enough. These guys go for the 1930 01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:22,640 Speaker 1: finish and not like in that way we're like, oh, 1931 01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,160 Speaker 1: they go for the finish, but then there's times where 1932 01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,519 Speaker 1: they don't know. These motherfuckers are going for the finish. 1933 01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:29,520 Speaker 1: Kate rule total.

They can have a very 1956 01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,479 Speaker 10: unorthodox leglock entries, So that'll be interesting to see what 1957 01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 10: he throws at me as well. 1958 01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:43,200 Speaker 1: You know, I'm very excited. 1959 01:27:43,240 --> 01:27:46,479 Speaker 10: I'm not going to try and strategically go through the 1960 01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:48,599 Speaker 10: match where I'm like, he gets good wrestling, I'm gonna 1961 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,479 Speaker 10: pull or anything like that. I'm just gonna, you know, 1962 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:52,479 Speaker 10: go into it like I start every match on the feet, 1963 01:27:52,560 --> 01:27:54,680 Speaker 10: try to take the person down, pass and submit. That's 1964 01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,120 Speaker 10: kind of like my brothers and I I spent our 1965 01:27:57,200 --> 01:27:59,840 Speaker 10: essences just to forever, and uh, that's gonna be our plan. 1966 01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:00,960 Speaker 1: Going to tell. 1967 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,479 Speaker 2: Luke, can you set up our second clip here? About 1968 01:28:06,680 --> 01:28:08,600 Speaker 2: the difference between doing this in a cage. 1969 01:28:08,600 --> 01:28:11,320 Speaker 1: Right, yeah, I mean there's obviously Yeah, some folks will 1970 01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:13,640 Speaker 1: understand is from even from MMA terms. Right, if your 1971 01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:15,320 Speaker 1: head is pinned up against the cage and you're on 1972 01:28:15,439 --> 01:28:17,600 Speaker 1: your back, it can limit some of your mobility. You 1973 01:28:17,680 --> 01:28:19,360 Speaker 1: can press off of it. But you know, you got 1974 01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:22,479 Speaker 1: to remember all these ADCC matches, all these submission grappling matches, 1975 01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:24,439 Speaker 1: they're usually on an open mat and so it really 1976 01:28:24,560 --> 01:28:26,760 Speaker 1: changes what kind of takedowns you can go for, what 1977 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:30,040 Speaker 1: places you can pull guard, or all kinds of different stuff. 1978 01:28:30,560 --> 01:28:32,200 Speaker 1: And I was asking him because we're talking about two 1979 01:28:32,240 --> 01:28:36,360 Speaker 1: of like the the RUO Total brothers are very very creative, 1980 01:28:36,800 --> 01:28:38,880 Speaker 1: So I you know, you might think of the cage 1981 01:28:38,880 --> 01:28:40,840 Speaker 1: as a limit, but for those guys, they probably thinking 1982 01:28:40,840 --> 01:28:42,040 Speaker 1: about all the kind of ways they can use it 1983 01:28:42,080 --> 01:28:44,519 Speaker 1: to their advantage. So I asked them, in thinking about 1984 01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:46,519 Speaker 1: some of these things, how does the cage change it 1985 01:28:46,720 --> 01:28:48,880 Speaker 1: for you in this circumstance. That is what he told me. 1986 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,759 Speaker 3: Great question. So in the moment, I had zero intention 1987 01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:53,280 Speaker 3: of doing it. 1988 01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:55,479 Speaker 10: I just was clinched up with him. I looked to 1989 01:28:55,560 --> 01:28:57,640 Speaker 10: my right and I just seen the post there. I 1990 01:28:57,680 --> 01:29:00,360 Speaker 10: reckon if it was the cage, I wouldn't it because 1991 01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:02,120 Speaker 10: it was just scared to get my toes stuck in there. 1992 01:29:02,160 --> 01:29:04,679 Speaker 10: You know, we've seen those horror stories of John Jones. 1993 01:29:04,800 --> 01:29:08,080 Speaker 10: Toad just didn't half definitely didn't want that happening. So 1994 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:10,760 Speaker 10: when I was struck with him, I looked to my right, 1995 01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:12,320 Speaker 10: I'd just seen the post. I was like, perfect, I'm 1996 01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,240 Speaker 10: just gonna send it, and I just stepped off and 1997 01:29:14,400 --> 01:29:16,719 Speaker 10: just flew as hard as I could off the other direction. 1998 01:29:17,320 --> 01:29:17,439 Speaker 2: Uh. 1999 01:29:17,600 --> 01:29:19,400 Speaker 10: I ended up getting the back off it, which is dope, 2000 01:29:19,400 --> 01:29:22,920 Speaker 10: Which is dope. But I think the cage it definitely 2001 01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:24,480 Speaker 10: definitely changes. 2002 01:29:24,360 --> 01:29:25,160 Speaker 1: A lot a ton. 2003 01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,080 Speaker 10: I think even in the match with the Ty and 2004 01:29:28,160 --> 01:29:31,600 Speaker 10: Gary my brother, and the following match you kind of 2005 01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:34,120 Speaker 10: seen it play into effect where you know, Ty was 2006 01:29:34,160 --> 01:29:36,400 Speaker 10: setting up at darts and carry Gary couldn't rely roll 2007 01:29:36,439 --> 01:29:38,679 Speaker 10: back because the cage was there, so kind of rolled 2008 01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:41,439 Speaker 10: into the darts right. So there's definitely it definitely makes 2009 01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:45,479 Speaker 10: differences in matches. I think it'll be definitely interesting. My 2010 01:29:45,720 --> 01:29:48,560 Speaker 10: upcoming match here with Yu ali As we're you know, 2011 01:29:48,600 --> 01:29:51,200 Speaker 10: I feel like both you know, pretty strong wrestlers, good 2012 01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,599 Speaker 10: stand up, pretty strong judo. The cage is definitely gonna 2013 01:29:54,600 --> 01:29:56,599 Speaker 10: be played in effect, so we'll see who can push 2014 01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:58,920 Speaker 10: who against you up the cage and use it better. 2015 01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:05,360 Speaker 1: He's talking there about his brother ty Ruotolo. He went 2016 01:30:05,400 --> 01:30:08,559 Speaker 1: against Gary Tonan. Everyone knows Gary Tonin and John danaher 2017 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:12,240 Speaker 1: Akalaida guy in a very very highly accomplished grappler himself 2018 01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:16,719 Speaker 1: and his brother Tie submitted him inside of the one 2019 01:30:16,840 --> 01:30:19,960 Speaker 1: cage by virtue of some of the effects you're seeing there. 2020 01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:23,080 Speaker 1: So you have one brother who is using that post 2021 01:30:23,160 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 1: with the padding to take Shinyaki's back, did it in 2022 01:30:25,880 --> 01:30:28,280 Speaker 1: real time just you know, he's just thinking on his feet. 2023 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:30,640 Speaker 1: And then the other case you saw it helped his 2024 01:30:30,760 --> 01:30:32,880 Speaker 1: brother secure a submission of a Gary Tonan by virtue 2025 01:30:32,880 --> 01:30:35,120 Speaker 1: of forcing him to roll a certain way. So the 2026 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 1: cage plays a real big factor in some of these 2027 01:30:37,920 --> 01:30:40,360 Speaker 1: submission grappling events. Will be interesting to see against a 2028 01:30:40,400 --> 01:30:43,040 Speaker 1: guy like who's assemble World Champions as a unicatetor gonna 2029 01:30:43,040 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 1: have very good judo.

Luke, 2071 01:32:36,200 --> 01:32:38,439 Speaker 2: your thoughts on this tasty offering. 2072 01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:41,680 Speaker 1: So there's a lot to talk about here. First thing, 2073 01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:48,479 Speaker 1: forget the matchmaking implications justified itself, dude, how do you 2074 01:32:48,760 --> 01:32:52,760 Speaker 1: not respect what Robert Whittaker is doing. This fucking guy 2075 01:32:53,520 --> 01:33:01,040 Speaker 1: doesn't duck difficult challenges or whoever the top contender is ever, ever, ever, ever, 2076 01:33:01,240 --> 01:33:04,120 Speaker 1: ever ever. This guy is like, who's the toughest guy? 2077 01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:07,000 Speaker 1: Bring him, who's the next toughest guy? Bring him on 2078 01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:11,760 Speaker 1: and on. He honestly fights the division BC like he 2079 01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:13,960 Speaker 1: is the champion. Now. I know he has the two 2080 01:33:14,080 --> 01:33:17,040 Speaker 1: losses to Izzy, fair enough is he is obviously an 2081 01:33:17,120 --> 01:33:20,800 Speaker 1: incredibly great champion, but he carries and conducts the way 2082 01:33:20,840 --> 01:33:24,000 Speaker 1: in which he navigates through the division as if he 2083 01:33:24,080 --> 01:33:26,760 Speaker 1: had a responsibility to uphold it by being the top 2084 01:33:26,880 --> 01:33:30,400 Speaker 1: guy and accepting the most difficult challenges. You just have 2085 01:33:30,560 --> 01:33:32,600 Speaker 1: to love this from him. I love the contest. I 2086 01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:34,599 Speaker 1: think Whittaker should win. I think he's just far more 2087 01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 1: skilled than Costa. But Costa is dangerous as shit, which 2088 01:33:38,240 --> 01:33:40,439 Speaker 1: we know, so you can never look loose sight of that. 2089 01:33:40,720 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 1: There's also the matchmaking implications, so this does seem to match. 2090 01:33:44,600 --> 01:33:47,360 Speaker 1: Also what Dana White told our friend Oscar Willis of 2091 01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,439 Speaker 1: The MacLife today, which was that he is looking if 2092 01:33:50,520 --> 01:33:53,920 Speaker 1: nothing is confirmed, but he's looking to put Hamzat versus 2093 01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:58,120 Speaker 1: Colby Covington as your co main event, as your co 2094 01:33:58,320 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 1: main event for Leon versus Kamaru three BC. Wrap your 2095 01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:07,320 Speaker 1: motherfucking head around that piece of news. If they can 2096 01:34:07,400 --> 01:34:07,960 Speaker 1: make it happen. 2097 01:34:08,800 --> 01:34:11,439 Speaker 2: Look, I know, even Dana. Just yesterday, Luke was on 2098 01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:13,200 Speaker 2: some podcast I think it was like The Daughter of 2099 01:34:13,240 --> 01:34:15,519 Speaker 2: the Fertitas or something, where he again, he addressed for 2100 01:34:15,600 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 2: the first time that four minute media video and Trash 2101 01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:21,479 Speaker 2: does scumbags all over again. But Luke, separate from that, 2102 01:34:21,600 --> 01:34:23,559 Speaker 2: you got to call a guy out when they're doing well. 2103 01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:25,599 Speaker 2: When Dana and them get in the war room. They 2104 01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:28,680 Speaker 2: made the right decision here, even though I'm telling you 2105 01:34:29,160 --> 01:34:31,160 Speaker 2: I bought in on the idea of hams Out versus 2106 01:34:31,160 --> 01:34:33,000 Speaker 2: Paulo Coast. Let's just do it, fuck it, let's just 2107 01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:35,920 Speaker 2: have fun and put fireworks into a you know, into 2108 01:34:35,960 --> 01:34:39,160 Speaker 2: a building and see what happens. But the real right 2109 01:34:39,439 --> 01:34:43,559 Speaker 2: move from a promotional standpoint is to keep Hamzad until 2110 01:34:43,600 --> 01:34:46,840 Speaker 2: he officially proves that he can't consistently make the weight, 2111 01:34:47,200 --> 01:34:49,360 Speaker 2: keep him in the welterweight title picture. But what you 2112 01:34:49,479 --> 01:34:51,680 Speaker 2: love about this is he still has to pay a 2113 01:34:51,760 --> 01:34:54,000 Speaker 2: toll for missing weight as badly as he did. And 2114 01:34:54,160 --> 01:34:57,320 Speaker 2: that's one more stop before the title. Not only is 2115 01:34:57,400 --> 01:35:00,760 Speaker 2: Colby an incredible matchup, but it brings together two very 2116 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:03,560 Speaker 2: big brands in a just must see fight for so 2117 01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:07,320 Speaker 2: many reasons. And if Hamsaut wins that, then there's nothing 2118 01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:08,920 Speaker 2: else you know, if he makes weight and wins it, 2119 01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:11,679 Speaker 2: there's nothing else to do but put him directly against 2120 01:35:11,720 --> 01:35:13,639 Speaker 2: the winner of that trilogy. And the fact that they're 2121 01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:17,040 Speaker 2: pairing it together, dude, this is top shelf matchmaking. They 2122 01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,040 Speaker 2: know what they're doing here. Let's give them the respect 2123 01:35:19,080 --> 01:35:19,559 Speaker 2: they deserve. 2124 01:35:19,600 --> 01:35:21,960 Speaker 1: Okay, And it's a phenomenal matchup. And I give credits 2125 01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:24,599 Speaker 1: to Paulo Costa too, like he's taken on tough guys. 2126 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,519 Speaker 1: There's no denying it. It does lead me to wonder 2127 01:35:27,600 --> 01:35:30,519 Speaker 1: what will happen with Izzy's future if Robert wins and 2128 01:35:30,760 --> 01:35:33,680 Speaker 1: Izzy wins obviously easy wins at UC two eighty one. Now, 2129 01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:35,920 Speaker 1: of course that may not happen, but let's pose it 2130 01:35:35,960 --> 01:35:38,519 Speaker 1: for just a second that it does. I think that 2131 01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:40,639 Speaker 1: might hasten A move to two oh five, and maybe 2132 01:35:40,680 --> 01:35:42,519 Speaker 1: I moved to two o five is inevitable no matter 2133 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,120 Speaker 1: what happens with Izzy and Pereira, I guess we'll have 2134 01:35:45,200 --> 01:35:47,760 Speaker 1: to see. But I do think if Whitaker wins BC, 2135 01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:50,280 Speaker 1: would you agree at that point he would have beaten 2136 01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:52,599 Speaker 1: Costa again, so you're not gonna get that. Who would 2137 01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,720 Speaker 1: be the fresh contender? I think he might just go 2138 01:35:54,840 --> 01:35:56,000 Speaker 1: on to two o five after that. 2139 01:35:56,479 --> 01:36:00,360 Speaker 2: Dude, next year if things play out the way that might, 2140 01:36:00,520 --> 01:36:02,160 Speaker 2: The way the odds will tell you is the is 2141 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:04,920 Speaker 2: the most likely scenario, even though both fights will be great. 2142 01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,080 Speaker 2: Is He versus Prahotska for the two five belt is 2143 01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,440 Speaker 2: one of the biggest, most juiciest, sexiest. 2144 01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:11,639 Speaker 3: Fights you can make. I'm not crazy. 2145 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:14,800 Speaker 2: I know I'm not I'm crazy in love with this fight? 2146 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:20,080 Speaker 1: Or what about? Is he versus Glover Touche? 2147 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:20,960 Speaker 3: What about? 2148 01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:25,040 Speaker 1: You know? Here's data part two? What about? Here's here's 2149 01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:29,160 Speaker 1: the question. If is he beats Pereira right Pereeda? However 2150 01:36:29,200 --> 01:36:33,240 Speaker 1: you say it? If he does that, does he leapfrog 2151 01:36:33,360 --> 01:36:36,400 Speaker 1: the winner of Yan Blohovich and Maga met on Caliev? 2152 01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:39,960 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, he would. He when he's ready to move 2153 01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:42,439 Speaker 2: up to two five for good, which would also include 2154 01:36:42,479 --> 01:36:44,519 Speaker 2: you know, changing his body and going all in on that. 2155 01:36:45,560 --> 01:36:48,120 Speaker 2: I don't you know. He's not only a star, He's 2156 01:36:48,120 --> 01:36:49,560 Speaker 2: not only one of the pompa pound best. He's not 2157 01:36:49,640 --> 01:36:52,479 Speaker 2: only has the accredation and middleweight to have already done 2158 01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:54,760 Speaker 2: this once, which is go up in wait directly to 2159 01:36:54,840 --> 01:36:57,040 Speaker 2: the title shot. But you know he was very competitive 2160 01:36:57,080 --> 01:36:58,680 Speaker 2: in that title shot lost, and what has he done 2161 01:36:58,720 --> 01:37:01,439 Speaker 2: since going back down, you know, beat Robert Whittaker and 2162 01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:04,360 Speaker 2: maybe beat Padata. So yeah, we're not going to see 2163 01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:06,800 Speaker 2: here's my here's my guarantee. We're not going to see 2164 01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:09,559 Speaker 2: how to sign you Whittaker three at middleweight. It's never 2165 01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:10,080 Speaker 2: gonna happen. 2166 01:37:11,520 --> 01:37:14,560 Speaker 1: Probably not. Probably I wouldn't mind seeing it, but probably not. 2167 01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:17,920 Speaker 2: Probably not, all right, Luke, topic number five. So we've 2168 01:37:17,920 --> 01:37:20,160 Speaker 2: always been honest with our audience here, which is mostly 2169 01:37:20,360 --> 01:37:23,200 Speaker 2: MMA heavy, but we do have some real boxing fans. 2170 01:37:23,240 --> 01:37:25,040 Speaker 2: So you know, some people did follow me here, Luke, 2171 01:37:25,080 --> 01:37:28,840 Speaker 2: from my previous stops, and we do successfully have conversion 2172 01:37:28,920 --> 01:37:31,559 Speaker 2: to people that were curious about boxing and they got 2173 01:37:31,600 --> 01:37:33,600 Speaker 2: a little taste of it and they liked it. But 2174 01:37:33,720 --> 01:37:37,479 Speaker 2: we have often told you beware of side effects. This 2175 01:37:37,680 --> 01:37:42,880 Speaker 2: drug is so spectacular, makes you feel like like you're alive, 2176 01:37:43,520 --> 01:37:46,919 Speaker 2: Like it's limitless, right, I mean, it's just it's just amazing. 2177 01:37:48,400 --> 01:37:50,320 Speaker 3: But you know there's a toll to pay, there's the 2178 01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:51,000 Speaker 3: next morning. 2179 01:37:51,640 --> 01:37:54,000 Speaker 2: And we've been riding a two year stretch in boxing 2180 01:37:54,040 --> 01:37:56,160 Speaker 2: where for the most part, things have not only gone right, 2181 01:37:56,200 --> 01:38:00,200 Speaker 2: they've gone pretty damn great. But boxing usually they used 2182 01:38:00,200 --> 01:38:02,679 Speaker 2: to have an every other year plan for My Prime 2183 01:38:02,760 --> 01:38:05,439 Speaker 2: Boxing Viewerdome in the last ten fifteen years, where it's 2184 01:38:05,439 --> 01:38:07,080 Speaker 2: like it's really good this year, but well next year 2185 01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:07,519 Speaker 2: it'll suck. 2186 01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:08,080 Speaker 1: Luke. 2187 01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:10,280 Speaker 2: Things are starting to suck right now. We got Tyson 2188 01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:14,479 Speaker 2: Furied CHESA three coming up for no reason, and did 2189 01:38:14,640 --> 01:38:18,040 Speaker 2: yesterday's announcement or maybe it's this mornings I don't know, 2190 01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:22,040 Speaker 2: I woke up to it. Does this shatter the idea 2191 01:38:22,160 --> 01:38:24,679 Speaker 2: that we actually may never see Terrence Crawford versus Aerol 2192 01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:27,680 Speaker 2: Spence for all four welterweight world titles. The window may 2193 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:29,840 Speaker 2: have closed, because here's the news we woke up to. 2194 01:38:30,160 --> 01:38:32,400 Speaker 2: We know these two have been pushing out the deadline. 2195 01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,599 Speaker 2: We thought November, then maybe January or February will they sign? 2196 01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:38,840 Speaker 2: We hear contrasting reports about what the issue is. Terrence 2197 01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:43,719 Speaker 2: Crawford just announced today that in early December he's gonna 2198 01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:49,600 Speaker 2: fight David Avenison and defend his WBO walterweight title on 2199 01:38:49,800 --> 01:38:54,599 Speaker 2: pay per view presented by BLK Prime for thirty nine 2200 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:59,680 Speaker 2: to ninety five on this subscription only website and not 2201 01:39:00,439 --> 01:39:03,400 Speaker 2: Erol Spence on Showtime pay per View for all four 2202 01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:06,120 Speaker 2: belts and maybe the biggest fight of this era in 2203 01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:06,920 Speaker 2: terms of stakes. 2204 01:39:11,280 --> 01:39:12,599 Speaker 1: This fucking sucks BC. 2205 01:39:14,840 --> 01:39:16,960 Speaker 2: You want to know what b LK Prime. 2206 01:39:16,840 --> 01:39:17,439 Speaker 5: Is, so do I. 2207 01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:21,960 Speaker 2: So they are a fledgling streaming company that has a 2208 01:39:22,040 --> 01:39:24,840 Speaker 2: fight card coming up in November, and they got the 2209 01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:29,320 Speaker 2: guy's name spelt wrong and the poster and the catchphrase 2210 01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:32,000 Speaker 2: is it's bang Time Now. I'm down for bang time 2211 01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:32,719 Speaker 2: at any time. 2212 01:39:32,680 --> 01:39:33,560 Speaker 1: Luke to it. 2213 01:39:33,640 --> 01:39:38,360 Speaker 2: But the promoter of record for that show is the 2214 01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:41,280 Speaker 2: same Marv guy who just paid a shit ton of 2215 01:39:41,320 --> 01:39:43,760 Speaker 2: money and even though we'd barely heard of Marv to 2216 01:39:43,880 --> 01:39:47,479 Speaker 2: win that purse bid for the upcoming Rugaru versus Zapaida 2217 01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:50,200 Speaker 2: one hundred and forty pounds vacant title fight, which some 2218 01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:55,320 Speaker 2: people were like, is this just like Daniel Kinahan probellum 2219 01:39:55,439 --> 01:39:58,360 Speaker 2: money going around? You know, like coming back in Look. 2220 01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:03,240 Speaker 2: I don't know how to explain la BLK Prime beyond 2221 01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:05,240 Speaker 2: the fact that it's been reported that they bring in 2222 01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:08,400 Speaker 2: six million a year and this report from Mike Coppinger 2223 01:40:08,680 --> 01:40:12,679 Speaker 2: ESPN says that Crawford is expecting a career high what's 2224 01:40:12,960 --> 01:40:17,320 Speaker 2: eight figure, ten million dollars payday? Not a single ounce 2225 01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:21,040 Speaker 2: of this makes any fucking sense, and there seem to 2226 01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 2: be no pitfalls. Sources I talked to for the Spence 2227 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:28,080 Speaker 2: Crawford negotiations pretty much show that everybody agreed. Despite some 2228 01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:30,680 Speaker 2: of the reports. You hear negatively against that, and we're 2229 01:40:30,760 --> 01:40:34,320 Speaker 2: just waiting for the signature. This makes me feel it 2230 01:40:34,439 --> 01:40:36,599 Speaker 2: has to make you feel like Bud doesn't want this fight. 2231 01:40:37,000 --> 01:40:39,799 Speaker 2: How else could you frame this, Luke, beyond the questions 2232 01:40:39,840 --> 01:40:42,400 Speaker 2: we have of who's putting up that ten million for 2233 01:40:42,520 --> 01:40:44,080 Speaker 2: a thirty nine to ninety five pay per view that 2234 01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:44,760 Speaker 2: no one's gonna buy. 2235 01:40:45,120 --> 01:40:47,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't understand where that money's gonna 2236 01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:49,720 Speaker 1: come from. I'm frankly skeptical that it will look like 2237 01:40:49,800 --> 01:40:52,200 Speaker 1: that in the end. And whatever he is gonna get 2238 01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:54,160 Speaker 1: in the end for this fight, obviously it's a lot 2239 01:40:54,200 --> 01:40:56,400 Speaker 1: easier than fighting Errol Spence. I'm of the belief he 2240 01:40:56,439 --> 01:40:58,960 Speaker 1: would make more fighting Errol. Dude. This is fucking bullshit. 2241 01:40:59,080 --> 01:41:01,880 Speaker 1: This is bullshit. I am, I am you guys know, 2242 01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,360 Speaker 1: I try to defend boxing where I think it deserves 2243 01:41:04,400 --> 01:41:06,080 Speaker 1: to be defended, which is I've said it before, the 2244 01:41:06,160 --> 01:41:08,760 Speaker 1: fans do have to pay attacks because these guys have 2245 01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,439 Speaker 1: more control over their own careers, and so things are 2246 01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,679 Speaker 1: a little bit more full of friction than they would 2247 01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:15,960 Speaker 1: be in a system where the UFC has majority control 2248 01:41:15,960 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 1: of the fighters, and so yes, the fighters can say no, 2249 01:41:18,200 --> 01:41:19,680 Speaker 1: but there's a lot of top down pressure and so 2250 01:41:19,840 --> 01:41:22,920 Speaker 1: it's just a little bit easier to make those fights fine. Fine. 2251 01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:28,960 Speaker 1: At some point though, the boxer. The boxers have to 2252 01:41:29,160 --> 01:41:32,200 Speaker 1: want more for themselves, They have to want to take 2253 01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,559 Speaker 1: a risk. There is at least some risk that they 2254 01:41:34,640 --> 01:41:37,680 Speaker 1: have to adopt, if not just for their own accolades, 2255 01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:39,600 Speaker 1: but for the sport to functions that's supposed to for 2256 01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:41,880 Speaker 1: the biggest fights to be made. They have to be 2257 01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:43,880 Speaker 1: willing to do that. And I'm not going to say 2258 01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:46,840 Speaker 1: over the totality of Bud's career that's not happened, but BC, 2259 01:41:47,320 --> 01:41:50,120 Speaker 1: you could poke holes in anyone's resume, including erro Spences. 2260 01:41:50,400 --> 01:41:52,920 Speaker 1: But since twenty seventeen, I've even with all the issues 2261 01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,280 Speaker 1: he's had, I really feel like he's taken on much 2262 01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:57,040 Speaker 1: tougher challenges and now part of that is who he 2263 01:41:57,160 --> 01:41:59,600 Speaker 1: signed with, But at some points, like who you signed with, 2264 01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:02,479 Speaker 1: now you're free, Now you do this bullshit. You just 2265 01:42:02,680 --> 01:42:06,040 Speaker 1: can't tell me he wants this fight as aggressively as 2266 01:42:06,080 --> 01:42:08,559 Speaker 1: certainly the audience wants it. Maybe Spence, I don't really 2267 01:42:08,600 --> 01:42:10,880 Speaker 1: know enough about that situation. But what I do know 2268 01:42:11,080 --> 01:42:14,479 Speaker 1: is you're gonna get paid for this. I don't believe 2269 01:42:14,520 --> 01:42:16,439 Speaker 1: that they're putting in all this nonsense about how he 2270 01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:19,479 Speaker 1: only is getting net benefit from whatever the financials are. 2271 01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:21,880 Speaker 1: I simply don't believe that report. I'm sorry, I don't. 2272 01:42:22,160 --> 01:42:25,360 Speaker 1: I think at some point he just doesn't really I 2273 01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:28,160 Speaker 1: think he wants to fight on certain terms, but not 2274 01:42:28,439 --> 01:42:30,720 Speaker 1: really all that much. I think Spence wants it more. 2275 01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:32,200 Speaker 1: And I never was like, oh, you guys are showtime 2276 01:42:32,240 --> 01:42:34,360 Speaker 1: guys saying that fine, fine, you can make whatever. You 2277 01:42:34,400 --> 01:42:36,439 Speaker 1: don't have to believe me, this is simply my opinion 2278 01:42:36,479 --> 01:42:39,120 Speaker 1: about the matter. But the guy who who split in 2279 01:42:39,160 --> 01:42:42,160 Speaker 1: the middle of negotiations to go take easy money against 2280 01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:44,880 Speaker 1: the fight that we know he shouldn't lose under any circumstance, 2281 01:42:45,240 --> 01:42:47,080 Speaker 1: you can't tell me that that one is the guy 2282 01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:50,559 Speaker 1: more committed to the process of a great challenge at 2283 01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:53,439 Speaker 1: this moment, you have a very hard time making that argument, 2284 01:42:53,479 --> 01:42:55,920 Speaker 1: and so it's just fucking bullshit. Man. It's like fury 2285 01:42:55,960 --> 01:42:58,000 Speaker 1: if you you know, these guys can do what they want, 2286 01:42:58,200 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 1: but you cannot expect us to pay for this shit. 2287 01:43:00,400 --> 01:43:02,920 Speaker 2: Really, really wait, Like we've been waiting for Spence Crawford 2288 01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:06,120 Speaker 2: for so long, not Mayweather, Paciolong, but it's getting closer. 2289 01:43:06,400 --> 01:43:09,320 Speaker 2: They're in their mid thirties. This is the final window 2290 01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:11,920 Speaker 2: that it would make sense and be a big deal 2291 01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:14,280 Speaker 2: to unbeaten guys, the two best of this era, all 2292 01:43:14,360 --> 01:43:16,840 Speaker 2: four belts. It just so happens, though, that if we 2293 01:43:16,920 --> 01:43:20,360 Speaker 2: were giving you a overly showtime take that this show 2294 01:43:20,439 --> 01:43:23,320 Speaker 2: to pro showtime take does a line with every boxing 2295 01:43:23,400 --> 01:43:26,559 Speaker 2: fans out there take, which is from what we see, 2296 01:43:26,560 --> 01:43:28,920 Speaker 2: there's really no hurdles in this fight going on right now. 2297 01:43:29,080 --> 01:43:31,120 Speaker 2: It really should have been November nineteenth or whatever the 2298 01:43:31,200 --> 01:43:34,280 Speaker 2: date was in Las Vegas that was set down. Everything 2299 01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:37,080 Speaker 2: I've heard is Spence has really conceded anything that would 2300 01:43:37,080 --> 01:43:38,880 Speaker 2: have gotten the way they were willing to make a 2301 01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:41,439 Speaker 2: two fight split here, you know, with the rematch option 2302 01:43:41,560 --> 01:43:44,640 Speaker 2: for the loser, and I don't know if Crawford is 2303 01:43:45,439 --> 01:43:47,320 Speaker 2: thinking to himself, well, I've only got you know, one 2304 01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:49,479 Speaker 2: or two fights left anyway, so why don't I try 2305 01:43:49,520 --> 01:43:53,280 Speaker 2: to extend the Spence thing, knowing in theory that's the 2306 01:43:53,360 --> 01:43:55,519 Speaker 2: only fight that matters, So if I keep pushing it out, 2307 01:43:55,560 --> 01:43:57,599 Speaker 2: I'll get more money. I don't know what Terrence Crawford 2308 01:43:57,680 --> 01:44:00,439 Speaker 2: is thinking, but this is a horrible look to kick 2309 01:44:00,479 --> 01:44:02,400 Speaker 2: in the face. I mean, not only been waiting so long, 2310 01:44:02,479 --> 01:44:04,600 Speaker 2: but this last year there was nothing else to wait for. 2311 01:44:04,960 --> 01:44:07,280 Speaker 2: Spence just unified the other title. He knocked out who 2312 01:44:07,320 --> 01:44:10,839 Speaker 2: guys he brutalized him. Crawford hasn't had access to big opponents, 2313 01:44:10,880 --> 01:44:13,599 Speaker 2: but when he has, sean porter, he showed us exactly 2314 01:44:13,640 --> 01:44:16,719 Speaker 2: who he still is. Uh. Here's a quote just today, 2315 01:44:17,360 --> 01:44:20,200 Speaker 2: Errol Spence Junior caught up with Calvin Watkins of Sports 2316 01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:22,960 Speaker 2: Day DFW, and the quote was, I got to talk 2317 01:44:23,000 --> 01:44:25,240 Speaker 2: to my manager, but I already told them I'm at 2318 01:44:25,280 --> 01:44:29,000 Speaker 2: this wait too long, meaning welterweight. I might be moving up. 2319 01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:32,439 Speaker 2: I don't know, I might be moving up, Spence said. 2320 01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:35,240 Speaker 2: Crawford was already going to be his last fight at 2321 01:44:35,280 --> 01:44:38,320 Speaker 2: welterweight because his body is you know, it's always been 2322 01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:41,000 Speaker 2: a hard cut for Spence. He's a huge welterweight, Luke, 2323 01:44:41,080 --> 01:44:44,200 Speaker 2: this really may push him full time to one fifty four, 2324 01:44:44,280 --> 01:44:45,880 Speaker 2: which would be great in terms of the fights we 2325 01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:48,240 Speaker 2: can make, and there's big benefits there, but it would 2326 01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:50,960 Speaker 2: be leaving a lot of unanswered questions. It would be 2327 01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:54,679 Speaker 2: backbreaking and painful. Boots is coming on too, don't forget 2328 01:44:54,720 --> 01:44:56,679 Speaker 2: that at welterweight. It's just this sucks. 2329 01:44:56,880 --> 01:44:59,840 Speaker 1: This sucks. This fucking blows. And dude, I listen you, 2330 01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,200 Speaker 1: you can't tell me he wasn't gonna get paid to 2331 01:45:02,320 --> 01:45:04,000 Speaker 1: fight Spence, Like that's what this is all about. You 2332 01:45:04,040 --> 01:45:05,800 Speaker 1: got to get the maximum amount of money. But you've 2333 01:45:05,800 --> 01:45:07,360 Speaker 1: got to be willing. You've got to be willing. We 2334 01:45:07,439 --> 01:45:09,679 Speaker 1: can't make him want it. We can't make him want 2335 01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 1: these fights. That's up to him. And let's be clear, 2336 01:45:12,320 --> 01:45:16,040 Speaker 1: but is a brilliant boxer, a brilliant boxer. But I 2337 01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:19,639 Speaker 1: am just not convinced he's got his heart in this matchup. 2338 01:45:19,960 --> 01:45:22,599 Speaker 1: I'm not convinced he's making the right decisions for his legacy, 2339 01:45:22,680 --> 01:45:25,920 Speaker 1: quite frankly. And you know, if you want the fans 2340 01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:28,400 Speaker 1: to shell out money to go watch you fight a 2341 01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:32,200 Speaker 1: fight that I mean literally nobody asked for good fucking 2342 01:45:32,280 --> 01:45:34,680 Speaker 1: luck that promoter's gonna take a bath on that. 2343 01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,479 Speaker 2: I don't know how that's even remotely financially possible unless 2344 01:45:38,479 --> 01:45:41,479 Speaker 2: somebody either some other entity funneling money into this, but 2345 01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:43,720 Speaker 2: you never know with boxing. But final thing I'll say 2346 01:45:43,760 --> 01:45:47,200 Speaker 2: on this is, look, I cannot respect Crawford more inside 2347 01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:50,080 Speaker 2: the ring, even beyond his skills, his backbone, his meanness. 2348 01:45:50,880 --> 01:45:52,840 Speaker 2: But I don't care outside the ring. If he's not 2349 01:45:52,880 --> 01:45:54,519 Speaker 2: a good interview, if he's surely if he's hard to 2350 01:45:54,560 --> 01:45:56,240 Speaker 2: deal with for promoters, I don't care about any of that. 2351 01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:58,920 Speaker 2: About that, I care though for the last three years 2352 01:45:59,000 --> 01:46:01,760 Speaker 2: when asked about space and he goes, I don't care 2353 01:46:01,800 --> 01:46:03,679 Speaker 2: if I ever fight him. I care about that, Luke, 2354 01:46:03,760 --> 01:46:05,559 Speaker 2: because there is, at the end of the day, when 2355 01:46:05,600 --> 01:46:08,720 Speaker 2: you're at that elite level, almost a responsibility to your 2356 01:46:08,760 --> 01:46:11,120 Speaker 2: own legacy into what you've built in the sport to 2357 01:46:11,200 --> 01:46:14,160 Speaker 2: sort of finalize it, to max it out. And when 2358 01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,320 Speaker 2: I would see Crawford on the other side of the 2359 01:46:16,360 --> 01:46:18,880 Speaker 2: street politically with top breaking ESPN and not getting to 2360 01:46:18,960 --> 01:46:21,600 Speaker 2: fight the biggest welter names Walter Waits while making a 2361 01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:23,400 Speaker 2: lot of money, I always felt like he was a 2362 01:46:23,400 --> 01:46:25,000 Speaker 2: little too content with the idea of well, if it 2363 01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:27,519 Speaker 2: doesn't happen, it doesn't happen, and I'll retire happy. It 2364 01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,439 Speaker 2: seems like he's telling the truth, Luke. He doesn't care, 2365 01:46:29,640 --> 01:46:30,360 Speaker 2: that's what it seems like. 2366 01:46:30,439 --> 01:46:32,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, just don't come out. Just like if you 2367 01:46:32,240 --> 01:46:34,200 Speaker 1: take a fight like this and not the Spence fight 2368 01:46:34,280 --> 01:46:37,920 Speaker 1: and again, you know, I'm sure the negotiations have been 2369 01:46:37,960 --> 01:46:40,559 Speaker 1: difficult on both sides. I'm sure that's true. I'm sure 2370 01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,479 Speaker 1: that's true. But if you take a fight like this 2371 01:46:42,640 --> 01:46:44,479 Speaker 1: and then the Spence fight never happens, you do not 2372 01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,240 Speaker 1: get to claim certain things about who the best guy 2373 01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:51,800 Speaker 1: was in the era. You decided of your own volition 2374 01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,519 Speaker 1: that that wasn't something you were necessarily interested in. So 2375 01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:57,200 Speaker 1: and that's fine. You can't knock his talent. His talent 2376 01:46:57,360 --> 01:47:00,760 Speaker 1: is extraordinary but is a joy to watch, there's just 2377 01:47:00,880 --> 01:47:03,240 Speaker 1: no denying it. But if you take fights like this 2378 01:47:03,479 --> 01:47:07,360 Speaker 1: over fighting Eryl Spence, then there's just gonna be a 2379 01:47:08,520 --> 01:47:11,960 Speaker 1: reframing of your legacy. And there's no one to blame 2380 01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:13,680 Speaker 1: for that other than the choices that were made by 2381 01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:14,479 Speaker 1: the boxer himself. 2382 01:47:15,120 --> 01:47:17,280 Speaker 2: There it is there, It is all right.

I'm not sure 2516 01:53:32,920 --> 01:53:35,160 Speaker 2: who wrote this is our last one. At around twenty 2517 01:53:35,200 --> 01:53:37,760 Speaker 2: four to twenty five of Wednesday's Live show, BC used 2518 01:53:37,800 --> 01:53:42,240 Speaker 2: the word irregardless, and immediately I saw LT's eyes light 2519 01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:44,880 Speaker 2: up as he had an opportunity to assert his verbal 2520 01:53:44,960 --> 01:53:49,800 Speaker 2: superiority over BC. However, Miriam Webster does in fact classify 2521 01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:54,200 Speaker 2: irregardless as a word, albeit a non standard word, meaning 2522 01:53:54,760 --> 01:53:59,600 Speaker 2: it is not conforming in pronunciation, grammatical construction, idiom or 2523 01:53:59,800 --> 01:54:04,000 Speaker 2: ward choice to the usage generally characteristic of educated native 2524 01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:06,840 Speaker 2: speakers of a language. Why are they calling me uneducated? 2525 01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:09,680 Speaker 2: Although I would not use the word, says Marcus, I 2526 01:54:09,800 --> 01:54:14,240 Speaker 2: still had to defend d BC from LT's vocabularic assault. 2527 01:54:15,080 --> 01:54:17,599 Speaker 1: Wow, there's a question I used to do this thing 2528 01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:19,200 Speaker 1: in middle school. This is a true thing. We had 2529 01:54:19,240 --> 01:54:22,000 Speaker 1: a thing called grammar court, and we had the same 2530 01:54:22,080 --> 01:54:25,519 Speaker 1: problem with like arguing, is ain't or irregardless a word? 2531 01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:26,960 Speaker 1: It is a word in the sense of which they 2532 01:54:27,040 --> 01:54:30,960 Speaker 1: describe it. It is not a word that means irrespective. 2533 01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:35,000 Speaker 1: That's not it. It's slang, it's nonsense. It's a thing 2534 01:54:35,040 --> 01:54:37,400 Speaker 1: that we use, so in that sense, it's a word, 2535 01:54:37,480 --> 01:54:39,920 Speaker 1: but it's not a word of the conventional English language. 2536 01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:41,960 Speaker 2: Now, all right, if this is Marcus, I don't know 2537 01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:44,120 Speaker 2: who wrote this, but he says, finally, I love the 2538 01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:49,000 Speaker 2: show irregardless of Lukedo's watermelon douche flu habit.
