1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we are back on the way concept

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: presented by the Ring, and today we are taking a

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: look at something I'm finding more and more interesting about

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,720
Speaker 1: the Jake Paul Tank Davis fight. It's the way Tank

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: Davis is preparing and potentially the way Tank Davis could

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: I can't believe that I'm even thinking this, and potentially

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: the way that Tank Davis could knock Jake Paul out.

8
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: This is changing my mind on a lot of the

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: things around this fight and how it potentially will go.

10
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm seeing Tank Davis in the gym, and I'm seeing

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 1: bits and pieces of what they want to do, and

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: I'm not necessarily convinced that this is going to go

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: completely differently than I already thought, but I am starting

14
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: to flip on what I think can happen here. Tank

15
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: Davis is taking Jake Paul more seriously than potentially I

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 1: thought he would, and usually that's the downfall of everyone

17
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,559
Speaker 1: that fights Jake. But there's a reason why, and it's

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: not just because the money he's guaranteed. But it seems

19
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: like there's a little bit extra going on that I

20
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 1: need to explain. But before we start, before I break

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: this all down, guys, I am going to be alive

22
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: for this fight on November fourteenth, probably twelve plus hours.

23
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna have an insane live stream. We're gonna do

24
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 1: a rewatch together of all the fights that we can

25
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: on YouTube from Jake from Tank. It's gonna be unbelievable,

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: and we're gonna have guests live on the show making

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: their picks for the fight. We're gonna have insane games,

28
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: maybe some giveaways in chat, all types of crazy things

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: leading up to this fight, and then we may even

30
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: stay live all the way through the next day, or

31
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 1: maybe we'll break up the streams, but we're back the

32
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: very next day for Connor Ben Chris you Banks Junior

33
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: number two, the rematch, and UFC three twenty two that

34
00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: same day. Don't miss it. But with that being said,

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: it's time to expose what do I mean and what

36
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: is the thing that I see the breakdown. Let's go well.

37
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: Before we get into that, folks want to say a

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: big thank you to the sponsor of today's video. First form.

39
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: That is right, you guys know, give boys a first

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: form athlete, I guess you could say. And what I

41
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: like to do is tell you, guys, why I choose

42
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: to supplement with Form on a daily basis. Whether it's

43
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: the creat Team, whether it's the Opdi Greens fifty Weather,

44
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: it is the First Form Formula one. Your boy is

45
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: getting older and that means I have to work harder

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: to keep myself in shape. But when I work harder,

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I also want to work smarter using supplementation. That's going

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: to keep me the best shape possible, without all the crashes,

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: without all the soreness, without all the negative things that

50
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: come from working out when you don't take care of

51
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: yourself outside of the gym. I do that every day

52
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 1: using my First Form products. And yes, they sell supplements,

53
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: but they're not just a supplement company. They care about

54
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: me the individual and what I need to keep myself going,

55
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: not only when I'm working out, but when I'm doing

56
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: all this for you guys, because it's a full time job.

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: I don't work nine to five. I work twenty four

58
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: to seven, and thanks to First Form, I'm able to

59
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: do that, keep my energy up, keep myself healthy, ready

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: to go, and continuing to work out. Because when I

61
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: feel like crap, I eat like crap, or when I

62
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: don't supplement correctly, everything falls apart. Now, why don't I

63
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: shoose stuff specifically for First Form. Well, their products are

64
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: HFS certified, meaning everything that you ingest from this company

65
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: is tested and certified healthy for you to use. But

66
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: most of all, like I said, I trust them because

67
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: they've given me every reason too. When I take this

68
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 1: way isolate from First Form, I feel better, I work

69
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: out better, and ultimately I want you guys to feel

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: the same. So click the link in the description and

71
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,600

Speaker 1: no shipping costs and you can try it for thirty days.

74
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: Let's say you're just for whatever reason didn't work out,

75
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: you couldn't find a reason to love a product like this,

76
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: which I don't think you will. But if you did

77
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,000

Speaker 1: ten percent refund. If you don't like it, that's not

80
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: gonna happen, though, because First Form is the spot to

81
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: be for all your supplement needs. May get a First

82
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: Form for sponsoring this video. And now let's get back

83
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: into the breakdown, all right, So First off, I haven't

84
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: seen much out of what's going on with Jake's side

85
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: of things, and we'll keep breaking this down. I think

86
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 1: we're about three and a half weeks away from the fight.

87
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: The only thing that I've seen out of Jake Paul's

88
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: training as of right now is this clip right here,

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: Jake Paul doing some work with ray Ford. Ray Ford

90
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: in eighteen one and one super featherweight only lost to

91
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: nick Ball high level guy. And this is what the

92
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: only thing that I've really seen is just an interaction

93
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 1: from them potentially after sparring where you know, there's music playing,

94
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: so I can't really put it out there, but I'm

95
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: not exactly sure what they're going over. Jake looks to

96
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: his team, He's like, you know, maybe I gotta get

97
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: my head off center line more. That's what he's looking

98
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: at his team and saying, you know, hey, I need

99
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: to slip more punches. And then ray puts like the

100
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: high guard up, like hey, when you're here, yeah, yeah,

101
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,599
Speaker 1: when you're here, don't even do that and go to

102
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: the body. I can't really read his lips here, and

103
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: then you know that's where your body's open. Something I'm

104
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: not sure exactly what they're talking about, but it seems

105
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,600
Speaker 1: like Ray has given him some pointers on something he

106
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: did wrong or something that Jake was not super happy

107
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: with the way he performed in their spar But this

108
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: is literally the only thing I have seen out of

109
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:12,600
Speaker 1: Jake Paul's camp in regards to this fight specifically, there's

110
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: been a lid on basically everything they're doing right now

111
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: in Jake's camp. I'm sure there'll be more videos and

112
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: more training come out as we get closer and closer

113
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: to the fight, but it seems like maybe in this session,

114
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Ray probably put it on Jake a little bit. Not

115
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: that again, it matters because they're not fighting each other.

116
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 1: In sparring is sparring, it's how you get better. But

117
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: Jake's you know, obviously sparring smaller guys, seeing not only

118
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: what weapons they bring to a sparring session, because you

119
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: know they're not as big in stature, it's gonna be

120
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 1: a sixty pound weight difference. Probably actually a little bit

121
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: update on that today as well. Tank's looking a little

122
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: bigger than I've normally seen him. We'll talk about that

123
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 1: in a second, But obviously Jake is gonna work with

124
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: some of the better guys in the smaller weight classes

125
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: to get prepared for what Tank could potentially bring. Now,

126
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: Tank is a is a one of one in that respect,

127
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: so it's difficult sometimes to prepare yourself in that same way.

128
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 1: But on that same note, we have a couple new

129
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 1: things out from Tank Davis number one. It's not necessarily new,

130
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,480
Speaker 1: but the last kind of work we've seen from Tank,

131
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, just in general, is this video right here,

132
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: just chopping the bag, turn it over, shots, chopp into

133
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: the body, every shot to the mid section. Now, again

134
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: not to read too much into things, but we go

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,119
Speaker 1: back to this video and I don't know what's being

136
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: said here between Ray and Jake, but he's telling him,

137
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 1: you know something with the high guard, don't even do that.

138
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: I'm trying to draw a parallel between potentially what Ray

139
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 1: Ford did to Jake in this bar and what could

140
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: potentially be going down in Tanks camp that can line

141
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: up the dots. Again, we don't have a lot to

142
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: go off of what we generally think may happen in

143
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: this fight, is that Jake Paul will probably use his size,

144
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: his frame, and his power to try to land big shots,

145
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: not throw a ton of punches and not gas himself

146
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: out against Tank, who again this is an exhibition. Yes,

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: they'll be judges and someone I guess will win is

148
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: what they're saying. But does that mean that someone actually

149
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: has a win loss on the record. No, because you

150
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 1: can't sanction something like this in a profight. Tank, on

151
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: the other hand, who already is a low output puncher,

152
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: is going to look to utilize his speed, his head

153
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: and movement, his quickness, his agility, his angles, his footwork,

154
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: his defense, his defense to offense transition, and vice versa

155
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: to catch Jake when he does eventually open up with

156
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: bigger punches and make him pay. Also, he's going to

157
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: look to slow Jake down and potentially work him into

158
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: those later rounds to where Tank can still be explosive.

159
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 1: And when I look at this little exchange from Jake

160
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: and ray Ford again, I could be completely missing the

161
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 1: read here. Ray is either telling him this is what

162
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: you need to do or this is what I was

163
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: able to do to you because of we go back here,

164
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: because of this high guard, I was able to get

165
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: to your body something like that. Maybe or it could

166
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: be again I could be just completely missing it. And

167
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: then you see this from Tank, all body work, just

168
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: hammers to the body level, changes, head off, center, angle, switch,

169
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: all that work in the bag. That was one of

170
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the more recent videos. We saw. One thing that we

171
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 1: didn't really look at when watching this video the first

172
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: time is how much bigger Tank looks now again, he

173
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: is a small slider frame statuted individual. To begin with,

174
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: Tank is a very small guy. If you blinked, you

175
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: might think this young man right here is Tank David

176
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: non Plan. But Tank is you know, he's smaller. And

177
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: this is why this fight is an exhibition and why

178
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a shot in the dark as

179
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: to you know, why you even do something like this.

180
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: But we all know it's a lot of money being

181
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: involved in x y Z. Both guys big time prize fighters,

182
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 1: the big time prize on this one. Again. We can

183
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: talk about the legitimacy of it. We can talk about

184
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 1: how it helps the sport, how it hurts the sport,

185
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: to the cows come home. The bottom line is these

186
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: two guys pull better numbers than anybody in the sport

187
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: right now in the US. And regardless of the circus

188
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: nature of it, people are gonna watch. I'm gonna watch

189
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: you guys are gonna watch and that's just the state

190
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: of boxing where we're at. I think it's entertaining as

191
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: long as we all know what it is, which is

192
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: a money fight. I don't I wish that Tank would

193
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: relinquish his belt. I wish the WBA would strip him

194
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: because I don't think this is very fair to people

195
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 1: that are supposed to be the actual contenders in his

196
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: weight class for his belt. And that is what's the

197
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: actual sanctity of the sport. Argument should be about, is

198
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: that if Tank is the sitting champion, either he gives

199
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: his belt up or he shouldn't be doing this in

200
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:45,959
Speaker 1: fighting challengers. That's really it. But as long as we're

201
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: all on the same page, that Tank can no longer

202
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: say he's one of the pound for pounds whilst doing

203
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: these things and whilst holding a belt when others are

204
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: contending or someone to contend for it. And that's fine.

205
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: I still think Tank's one of the most talented boxers

206
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: in the world. But you can't hold that title if

207
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: you're not actually defending your title. Point anyway, But when

208
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: we look at Tank in this in this like look

209
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: at the shoulder definition not the Tank is like ever

210
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: really been, you know, crazy out of shape. But I

211
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: thought maybe coming into this Tank would be a little

212
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: bit skinnier, a little bit smaller, and that's just not

213
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: the case. I mean, look at I know this is

214
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,200
Speaker 1: on impact the shoulder definition, but he's he looks thicker.

215
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: Pause he does though, he he looks like he's put

216
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: weight on. And I saw show Biz did a video

217
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: about this a couple of days ago, and he looked

218
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: at Tank's, you know, figure for the for the photo shoots,

219
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: which we'll take a look at now as well. So

220
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: here is Tank and Jake looking at each other's posters, right,

221
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: dick Man, he's you look at the actual poster now again.

222
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: They obviously made Tank a lot bigger than he is

223
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: here in the poster, but you're not seeing him one

224
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: as cut up as you would normally see him obviously

225
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: to fight at his weight class. Hundred and thirty five

226
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: is still at a little bit of a cut for Tank.

227
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:08,679
Speaker 1: But you see even here he is a little bit

228
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: more broad, a little bit more filled out in the back, shoulders, arms.

229
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: The entire point I'm making here is that Tank is

230
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: loading up, making himself bigger, not too much, but making

231
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 1: himself more around his walkaround weight. Maybe one hundred and

232
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: fifty maybe one hundred and sixty pounds or this fight,

233
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: because he needs that power to knock Jake out. He

234
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: still has speed, still has ability, still has quickness, agility,

235
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: all of that, but this type of power he will

236
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,960
Speaker 1: need to try to even knock a two hundred and

237
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: probably on the night, two hundred and fifteen pound man out.

238
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: But it won't just be the size difference. It won't

239
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 1: just be him sitting down in his punches. It won't

240
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 1: just be the shots to the body from Tank all

241
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:47,719
Speaker 1: that stuff. I'm painting a picture for you guys as

242
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 1: to how Tank can potentially do this, because I think

243
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: Tank is the more skilled guy, but I just think

244
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: Jake is so much bigger and he is more skilled

245
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: than people give him credit for, and he does possess

246
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: a bit of boxing IQ for his level and keep

247
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: him safe in this kind of scenario because Hank is

248
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five pounder, it's not like he's

249
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 1: a big guy. And Jake is a big guy, and

250
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: he can still, like I said, keep things somewhat safe

251
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 1: for himself if need be, and if he does want

252
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 1: to go for it, And there is moments where Jake

253
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: wants to use his weight and use his size, which

254
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 1: is probably what they want to do the entirety of

255
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: the fight. There are ways that Javonte canencounter it. Now

256
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 1: bear with me as I do a little bit of

257
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: a walk down memory lane. Do we all remember the

258
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: Floyd Mayweather Logan Paul exhibition from way back? Now it's

259
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: been years and years, do we remember one of the

260
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,080
Speaker 1: moments that went super viral and people said Floyd knocked

261
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: Logan out then helped him up. That didn't happen. Logan

262
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 1: never was knocked out by Floyd Mayweather punch and then

263
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: held up. But this was one of the keys to

264
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: the exhibition, to the fight was Logan using his size

265
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,080
Speaker 1: and frame to smother Floyd even when he got hit

266
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: with punches, so that Floyd either couldn't follow up, or

267
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 1: that Logan could just put his weight on him, make

268
00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: Floyd hold his weight, tire him out, and Logan could

269
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: take a rest. Remember this clip from way back, right

270
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: hand Logan falls in. This happened a lot during their fight,

271
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: and no, Logan is not knocked out here, but this

272
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: is something that happens so much in their fight, where

273
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: Logan using his frame, using his size was able to

274
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: wear on Floyd, was able to frustrate him. Floyd couldn't

275
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: get to him with the jab. Logan's jab was better

276
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: than Floyd anticipated. Now, one thing I want to show

277
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:27,080
Speaker 1: you about this clip. Maybe you missed it. Floyd landed

278
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: a punch here, and yes it may have hurt Logan,

279
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 1: but he wasn't as accurate as he wanted to be.

280
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 1: And this is where I think Jervonte in some ways

281
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: is even more accurate than Floyd. I know it sounds crazy,

282
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: but you think about Jervonte's punch output versus his punch

283
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: landing and what that punch does to people. No one

284
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: at this point expected Floyd to knock Logan out. He

285
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: was too old, too small, hands, too brittle, right, And

286
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: I don't mean that disrespectfully. I'm just meaning Logan's two

287
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: hundred pounds. Let's watch this clip again. You know, Logan

288
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: again leans on Floyd. Floyd holds him there, but you

289
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: see Logan try to go to the lee hand up

290
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: or cut off the level change, big swing and miss

291
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: with the right hand. Look at Floyd load on his

292
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: back foot and just I mean just barely miss what

293
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,679
Speaker 1: was a step in counter upper cut lean bang, which

294
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: is the right punch to go to, because Lloyd has

295
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: the best boxing IQ maybe of anyone ever. He just

296
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: barely misses it. And even with a barely miss, he

297
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: still hits him with the punch. It's just not as

298
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: clean as he wants. Again, we're drawing all these lines

299
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 1: of combarrasson and what potentially could happen. What if I

300
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: told you that exact sequence is what Javonte Davis is

301
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: working right now in camp. Here is a recent clip

302
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: from Jervonte Davis's Instagram, and I think this is exactly

303
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 1: the type of thing you do to a guy that's

304
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: a little bit more green than you are, is nowhere

305
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 1: near the level of boxing that Davonte has, that's the

306
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: same experience or ability in my opinion. How do you

307
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 1: take advantage of his weight usually what would be his strength?

308
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: How do you take advantage of it? Well, you make

309
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: yourself bigger, like Davonte seems to be doing. Doesn't have

310
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 1: to cut weight, so he'll probably walk in there a

311
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: little bit bigger than his walking around weight. It's the

312
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: risk because you're still going a good amount of rounds.

313
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: How do you hold that weight? Still risk because you're

314
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: still going I don't know if it's eight or ten rounds,

315
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 1: but you gotta hold that weight, especially against a guy

316
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: that's two hundred pounds. But it also allows you to

317
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 1: sit down on heavy punches. When this same scenario, think

318
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: Logan Floyd happens in their fight. Look at this training.

319
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: You see this, You see Jake there already. I love this.

320
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: They're anticipating Jake in the clinch, looking to again put

321
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: his body weight on tank. Bigger man, use his size,

322
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: lean on you, weigh on you. And you see the

323
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: post in the frame from tank post frame hold hold, bang, lead,

324
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: hand up or cut and again. Something that's key here

325
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: is if they want to be in this position. They

326
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 1: have Jake laying on tank. They don't have Jake's hands

327
00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: overhooking Tank's hands. Look at it's a very very subtle

328
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 1: little nuance in this back and forth, the difference between

329
00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: this tank's hands over the top and this Logan's hands

330
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: over the top. Logan has his in an overhook. Floyd

331
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: has the under hook. He can't punch with the under hook.

332
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: He has to kind of stay there until he can

333
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: get his hand free and then go. But Hank Davis,

334
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: he has learned from Floyd, and he has learned in

335
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 1: multiple different situations where he's been the smaller man. He's

336
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: gonna overhook your hands. You go ahead and try to

337
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: clinch me. I'm getting that overhook because I'm gonna hold

338
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: your hands down. I'm gonna pin your arms to where

339
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: you can't punch. And then when I'm ready, I'm gonna release.

340
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: Boom with the upper cut up the middle release bang,

341
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: boom underneath left hand. Love that. Here's the over look

342
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: at that overhook again right there until I'm ready. Off

343
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: the lead foot, boom, pop the head up and again

344
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 1: here comes Jake. Okay, we're in a tussle. We're in

345
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: a tussle. Lean on my lead foot, upper cut, left hand,

346
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: roll and hook left hand down the midd That is

347
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: good stuff. Again. One of the things that we have

348
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: seen Jake struggle with, even in the Mike Tyson fight.

349
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: If we go back, one of the things Jake has

350
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 1: struggled with so much is his feet. His feet gets

351
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: so wide and he gets a little flat footed at times,

352
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: and especially when he throws a big power punch, his

353
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,159
Speaker 1: feet get a little stab. We see here even the

354
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: jab and the retreat off the jab. He stabs him

355
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: with the jab. But look at how wide his feet are.

356
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: If Jake tries to even potentially throw a right hand here,

357
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: there's no leverage on it, so he has to get

358
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 1: out of range and come back. Now this time when

359
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 1: he throws a step throw, but look look where he

360
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: throws that from. Look at the off balance nature of this. Like,

361
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: that's still a good right hand, and honestly, if he

362
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 1: lands it, I would probably knock Tank out. It's just

363
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: because he's that big a dude. But he's so out

364
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: of position here that if there is a follow up

365
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 1: to any of these punches, Jake's either gonna have to

366
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 1: go straight back or he's gonna be hit with something.

367
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: Now imagine same scenario. We get this exchange right here,

368
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 1: same spot, Bang bang, Jake's overthrown the right hand slip

369
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 1: bang bang. I'm not saying it's likely. I'm just saying

370
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: it's possible. There are things that if you look at

371
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: Jake's game, And I'm not saying that these two sequences

372
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: are everything in Jake's game. In this Mike Tyson fight,

373
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: It's not what I'm saying, but this is a pattern

374
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: that you recognize with Jake, is that when you do

375
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: see him load up on shots, he becomes very off balance, plant, throw,

376
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: hit or miss. We're foot off the ground, all our

377
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 1: weight on our lead foot, and now we're having to

378
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: push back off that lead foot and almost jump back

379
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: out of range just to save ourselves from being in bad,

380
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: bad spots. That's the thing I'm saying. And this is

381
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: why when you talk about the green, kind of newer

382
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: to boxing nature of Jake, when things need to be regulated,

383
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: when he needs to go to something to get himself

384
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:56,879
Speaker 1: out of trouble, he will revert back to the things

385
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 1: that have got him to the dance, which is the

386
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: jab overhand, jab to the body overhand, or step back overhand,

387
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 1: and he will throw everything he has behind it. Trust me,

388
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: I've seen it too many times. It will happen if

389
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: we get to a point where Jake's jab has been broken,

390
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,479
Speaker 1: the range has been taken, and he's being pushed backward.

391
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I see that happening a lot,

392
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: especially early, but it could if we see Tank had

393
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: a bigger size, utilizing the body shots and frustrating Jake

394
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: by not being where he expects him to be and

395
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: making him overthrow and miss. Still It's hard for me

396
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 1: to believe a guy tank size is going to be

397
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,160
Speaker 1: able to knock out Jake. But if there's a way,

398
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: they're working on the right ones. They have learned from

399
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: what happened in the Logan in Floyd fight, and we'll

400
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: do breakdowns on all this stuff as we lead up.

401
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: And I thought this was special. I thought it was

402
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: interesting to see Tank. I mean, he's kind of exposing

403
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 1: how he wants to knock out Jake, and he's also

404
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,639
Speaker 1: kind of exposing the blueprint to do it. If you're

405
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 1: gonna hurt Jake, you have to catch him off guard.

406
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: You have to lull him to sleep with your timing

407
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: and your power, and you have to clip him when

408
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 1: he's over extend or when he tries to use his power,

409
00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: size and frame to lay way and pray on the

410
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: little guy, and Tank also in this fight, has to

411
00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: be a bit bigger than the little guy. I think

412
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: I'm seeing all those things happen right now, But maybe

413
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: I'm making too much of a big deal over nothing.

414
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 1: Maybe these little clips that I'm seeing and the things

415
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: they're working on they don't mean as much. And I

416
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: think a guy like Tank, who seems to be able

417
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 1: to bring his skill from the gym into the ring,

418
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: is going to be able to capitalize on stuff like this.

419
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 1: Where Jake does make a lot of mistakes, there are

420
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: moments where he can be capitalized on. Tank, by the way,

421
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: made some mistakes in the Lamott roach fight. I was

422
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: wondering about his headspace. But I'm starting to believe he's

423
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 1: taking this more serious than I thought, And for Jake Paul,

424
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: that's very dangerous. So what do you guys think. I'm

425
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: starting to look and lean like Tank might be able

426
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,120
Speaker 1: to have some opportunities to actually hurt Jake, knock him out.

427
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: I don't know about I'm still to rack my brain

428
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: and think one hundred and thirty five pound one hundred

429
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: and fifty hundred and sixty pounder can knock out a

430
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: guy with experience, with some skill and as some ability

431
00:20:56,280 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: in the boxing ring. That's two hundred and ten fifteen pounds.

432
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 1: So don't know. I'm still not ready to make that leap,

433
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: but I'm saying it's possible. If there's a guy to

434
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: do it at that lower weight class, it's probably Tank Davis.

435
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,200
Speaker 1: Let me know what you guys think. Down below, we're

436
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: about three and a half weeks away. What happens in

437
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 1: this fight on November fourteenth, can take actually knock Jake out.

438
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: I don't have those answers, but I guess we'll find out.

439
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: All right, folks, we're back on the way concept presented

440
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: by The Ring Magazine Today. I wanted to talk about

441
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: the UFC three twenty one main event. Tom Aspinall's surreal gone,

442
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: and I'm particularly excited about this fight because, unlike the

443
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 1: rest of the Internet, I still want to see how

444
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: good Tom Aspinall is. Yes he is the heavyweight champion.

445
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: Yes he should have been fighting John Jones. John Jones ducked.

446
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: There's no debating that. It was clear John wanted no

447
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: part of it, and now that the White House card

448
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: is in play, maybe John does. I don't know, but

449
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: I'm still not necessarily convinced that Tom Aspinall will be

450
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 1: the greatest heavyweight we've ever seen, or that he's as

451
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: good as people are telling me he is, because I

452
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: want to see more of what he brings in a

453
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: fight that doesn't just go round. And I'm not saying

454
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: that's his fault. You fight the people that are in

455
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,159
Speaker 1: front of you, and in about ten days from now,

456
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 1: that'll be surreal gone who presents an interesting matchup that

457
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,159
Speaker 1: may have tom aspinall in some danger? What do I

458
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: mean the breakdown? Let's go, but before we keep going, guys,

466
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm into the cool mint. I've never seen earbuds in

467
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: this shade or shape before, and they feel like an

493
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: get back into the breakdown. All right, So everywhere you

494
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: turn on the internet right now, everyone is I don't

495
00:23:57,040 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: want to say it is glazing to a degree, but

496
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 1: everyone is on the Tom Aspinall hype train, and I

497
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: understand why because Tom Aspenall, since he's gotten to the

498
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: UFC has pretty much made light work of every fighter

499
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: he's ever stood in front of. Outside of the weird

500
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,680
Speaker 1: kind of knee injury Tko lost to Curtis Blades, which

501
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: he then came back and beat Curtis Blades very dominantly

502
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 1: in their second fight. So it's hard. It's hard to

503
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: look at Tom Aspinall's strength of schedule here for using

504
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 1: college football terms, and believe there's anybody on there that

505
00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: would have been threatening to Tom. So yeah, I mean

506
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: it is a bit of a difficult thing to look

507
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,639
Speaker 1: at anybody on Tom's record, as as we take a

508
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 1: look here and act like any of it was really

509
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: a challenge to Tom Aspinall. Maybe you know, Saragai would

510
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,360
Speaker 1: have been. Papovich was a big puncher and potentially could

511
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: have given Tom some problems, but stood right in the

512
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: pocket with him and got dropped. I mean, yeah, I mean,

513
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: I just don't see any I mean, the heavyweight division

514
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,600
Speaker 1: is rough right now. It is awful, and outside of

515
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: two or three big names that you could mention right now,

516
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: in that division eight A paplovicha Curtis Blades, Alexander Volkov,

517
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: a Cerrill Gan, a Tom Aspinal. There really isn't anyone

518
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,959
Speaker 1: that's there that either gets people excited or presents an

519
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,479
Speaker 1: opportunity for Tom Aspenall to potentially have a tough matchup. Now,

520
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: with all that being said, this strength of schedule doesn't

521
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: really tell me a lot about Tom Aspinall and what

522
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: his capabilities are when he goes to that next level.

523
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Do I think Serril Gon is that next level? No?

524
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I think this Real Gon is this level

525
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: the level of guys that he's already beaten, which is

526
00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,880
Speaker 1: why I am picking Tom Aspenal to win this fight.

527
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: I know wade curse is in effect, it is what

528
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: it is, but I do see some dangerous elements to

529
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,680
Speaker 1: this fight, and I'm very interested to see what happens

530
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: when Tom fights probably the best striker he's ever seen,

531
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: in Serrel Gone. But the problem is this isn't kickboxing,

532
00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 1: it's not boxing, it's MMA. So Tom has more well

533
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: rounded skills than Cereal Gone, and again I think you'll

534
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: see that in about ten days. But let's break the

535
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 1: fight down and kind of go step by step as

536
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 1: to why this will probably be the toughest fight that

537
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: Tom has had, or maybe it won't be. Maybe Tom

538
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: will do what he does and all these different fights

539
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 1: and walk out in the first round and knock him

540
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: motherfucker dead. His entire fight history is incredible. It's first round,

541
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 1: second round, and nothing else. I mean, predominantly of the

542
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: how many fights he had eighteen fights? One, two, three?

543
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: Is it just three? So fifteen of his eighteen fights

544
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 1: have finished in the first round, and of the fifteen

545
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: that have finished, he's finished fourteen of them. And again

546
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 1: the Curtis blades weird fluky knee injury thing that you

547
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,239
Speaker 1: can't really hold that against him. But this is a

548
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 1: strength and potentially a weakness of Tom Aspinal. I know

549
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,959
Speaker 1: you guys have heard it from every MMA channel on

550
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: the internet over the last couple of months that Tom

551
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: Aspinal still has yet to prove what he can do

552
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,199
Speaker 1: over five rounds. And it's not his fault. If you

553
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: go out and murk a motherfucker in three minutes, that's

554
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,919
Speaker 1: what happens. But it is going to be interesting to

555
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 1: see because Serrill Gon has son no pun intended five rounds.

556
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: A couple of different times now, and when you look

557
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: at Serril Goan's record, yes, it's a bit of an

558
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: up and down when it comes to how he gets

559
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 1: fights done. But the only two actual losses, even though

560
00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: you can argue that Alexander Volkov beat him, the only

561
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 1: two losses that he has are to John Jones and

562
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,719
Speaker 1: Francis and Ganhu, two former champions. Right, so he's this

563
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: is his technically his third actual title opportunity, even though

564
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 1: he won the interim title off Derek Lewis. But look

565
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: at the different varieties in which Surrel Gon can fight

566
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: and win. Right. He wins iko early in his career,

567
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: obviously not so much as he's gotten into his later part.

568
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: Not known as a massive power striker, but a guy

569
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: that can overwhelm you. But five rounds, five rounds, five rounds.

570
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: He's gone the distance three times and gone past the

571
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: second round one, two, three, four, five, eight times. So

572
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: he understands what it means to go laid into fights

573
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: and find victory. But these numbers, these names, this win

574
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 1: loss doesn't tell the whole story of this fight. We

575
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: have Serrill Gon who is predominantly a I wouldn't say kickboxer,

576
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 1: but a striker on the feet, a guy that can

577
00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 1: use his elbow's knees, feet, hands of the eight limbs.

578
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 1: Cerrill Gon is very good. He stands bladed and in

579
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 1: both stances he can hit you again with his kicks

580
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 1: upstairs as well, and in this fight he will present

581
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,400
Speaker 1: a reach advantage on Tom Aspinall, who is I think

582
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: the same height as Serial Gone. I think they're both

583
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: around six to four, but Tom Aspinall's reaches seventy eight

584
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 1: inches Cerreal eighty one. So if you are looking at

585
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: ways that cyril Gon can present problems for Tom aspell

586
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,360
Speaker 1: number one, I think everything has to do with his

587
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: takedown defense or his grappling defense versus Tom Aspinall's grappling offense. Now,

588
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 1: Tom not really known as a big time offensive wrestler,

589
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: but will do it in spurts. The beautiful takedowns he

590
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 1: had of Alexander Volkov and the submissions there. I do

591
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: think that he is better known for his black belt

592
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Been grappling for forever, but it's

593
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 1: the offensive grappling that I want to see how legit

594
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: it is versus someone that has now seen that Tom

595
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,320
Speaker 1: is dangerous with his grappling, right, I want to see

596
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 1: what cyril Gon, who has been in there with John

597
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: Jones and got a completely obliterate who was out grappled

598
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,800
Speaker 1: by Francis. And again you see a common theme here.

599
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:07,000
Speaker 1: The guys that out grapple cyril Gon usually beat him.

600
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound good for cerril Gon when he's fighting

601
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: a guy like Tom Aspinall, who is way more well rounded.

602
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: And I think especially in this fight, serril Gon might

603
00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: be the better and probably is the better striker out

604
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: of the two of them. He probably is the better

605
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: striker with all eight contact points. Then Tom Aspinall. Does

606
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: that mean that he was going to win this fight

607
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 1: by knockout? No, And in fact I would if somebody

608
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: was gonna get knocked out, I'd favor Tom Aspinall and

609
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: knock cerrial Gone out because one Tom goes for it

610
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: will stand there in the pocket with you, sometimes even

611
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 1: trade with his chin up, which is dangerous. We'll get

612
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 1: back to that. But he commits to his punches and

613
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 1: he has real knockout power one punch knockout power, whereas

614
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 1: cyril Gon does tend to have to overwhelm you. And

615
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 1: I know it's heavyweight and anybody can get knocked out.

616
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: I'm just showing you the differences. So if Cyril is

617
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: going to do this, and if Tom is going to

618
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: be in legitimate danger, it will be because Cerel has

619
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:56,480
Speaker 1: either established a distance that Tom can't shoot from with

620
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 1: his kicks eating up the legs, the push kicks, the

621
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: teeps of techniques that Cereal throws that do keep the

622
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 1: distance and keep him in the outside range to where

623
00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: he can circle the cage. And if you notice in

624
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot of his fights, including the Francis and gan

625
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: Who fight, where yes, Francis had some knee issues and

626
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily as mobile as he needed to be. That's

627
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 1: all Cyril did was poke at him from the outside

628
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: and was winning that fight until Francis and gan Who

629
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: decided to grapple. And it wasn't necessarily a super damaging

630
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: level of grappling. It was just control. He was able

631
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 1: to control Cyril god, and it wasn't really hard for

632
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 1: him to do it. And that's another big problem if

633
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: you're Cyril, if you get pushed up against the fence,

634
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: and Cyril loves to fight off his back foot, he

635
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: loves to kind of invite the pressure and then circle

636
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 1: around it and tag you from the outside and then

637
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: blitz you with the combinations and switch the stands, and

638
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:43,600
Speaker 1: there's just a lot of things he likes to do

639
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 1: off your forward movement and again put him in really

640
00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: bad spots, especially with a guy like Tom who was

641
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: looking to get into boxing range, and if he isn't

642
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: in boxing range or if he's not having success where

643
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,880
Speaker 1: he's at, he will potentially initiate that grappling then come

644
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: upstairs with the striking, and it's a whole mess. So

645
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 1: Cyril has to keep his distance, I think, at least early,

646
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: and see if he can start to win this fight

647
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: on a point scale system by using his reach, by

648
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:10,480
Speaker 1: using his kicks, by being more calculated and technical with

649
00:31:10,560 --> 00:31:13,719
Speaker 1: his striking versus being super aggressive, because we've seen how

650
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: that works out for anybody that wants to be super

651
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: aggressive with tom Aspinall, they get dealt a swift hand

652
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: of Nike will and the fight's over in you know,

653
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 1: thirty seconds. So that can't happen, and that's not who

654
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: surreal God is. So I think that is at least

655
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: how you want to start the fight. On the other side,

656
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 1: Tom Aspinall, I'll be interested to see how he approaches

657
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 1: this fight, because he has made a statement running through

658
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 1: this heavyweight division. And I'll be honest, heavyweight in the

659
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 1: UFC is probably the worst technical division in the sport.

660
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 1: It has no names than anyone recognizes. It doesn't have

661
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: a ton of fighters with a massive skill set and

662
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: an ability to hang with a fighter as well rounded

663
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: as Tom Aspinall and a is why you've seen virtually

664
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: nobody ascend through the ranks of this new era of heavyweight.

665
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: What's the name Jenton Almeida. We'll see what he does.

666
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 1: But there's not a ton of big name heavyweights and

667
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: there's not a ton of guys that look like they

668
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: can challenge Tom Aspinall right. Now, if Tom goes in

669
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 1: there and just demolishes this a real god, he will

670
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: rain over this heavyweight division for a very long time

671
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: unless John Jones comes back. And I know people aren't

672
00:32:14,520 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: giving John a chance there, but I think John still

673
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: possesses the fight iq skill, maybe not the speed and

674
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 1: youthfulness that he had, but it could be an interesting

675
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 1: fight regardless if Tom takes this fight and doesn't get

676
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: over zealous with the let me walk in there and

677
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 1: knock this guy out in one round and dip, but

678
00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 1: fights his fight, stays aggressive and is patient. This could

679
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: be an all time performance for Tom Aspenall. I don't

680
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: doubt that. But there is something about fighting a striker

681
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: as dangerous and as varied and has more variety like

682
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: a Cereal God does that. Maybe you do underestimate a

683
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: bit of his grappling defense and all I can just

684
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: take him down. Whatever, So let's start with the hands

685
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: and get caught with something early. I don't know if

686
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 1: you're Tom Aspenall. I think either being in close proximity

687
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: to Currell Gon being inside that that kick range, punch

688
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: and clinch range is is perfect for Tom, or being

689
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 1: completely out. Either one of those things is good for

690
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: Tom aspinall, because if you're in the mid range where

691
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: he can kick you and you can't kick him, or

692
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 1: he can touch you and you can't touch him, and

693
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: it becomes a point fight. And in a point fight

694
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: with a point fighter like Sir Real God, you're going

695
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: to lose that at least you're going to lose rounds

696
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: because of that. And I want to see what happens

697
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: if Tom is having to use more of his grappling

698
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,720
Speaker 1: and isn't as successful with it right off the bat.

699
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: Right what we've seen right now is Tom Asmenal be

700
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 1: massively successful with his grappling and striking and pretty much

701
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: everything he wants to do right now at heavyweight. This

702
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 1: is like a you know, watching Mike Tyson just run

703
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 1: through the heavyweight division in his early twenties and knocking

704
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 1: motherfucker's dead and just wondering, okay, does this guy have

705
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,320
Speaker 1: any weakness? And you weren't able to see it because

706
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 1: the fights were lasting forty seconds, twenty seconds, fifteen, you know,

707
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 1: and you didn't get to know if what's his gas

708
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: tank look like? What happens when he does fight someone

709
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: that is able to move their head or can get

710
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: inside and work him too the body and then to

711
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: touch him up upstairs and they've got a nasty hook

712
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 1: as well, and Tyson isn't able to get off center

713
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 1: line or his rhythms interrupted. All those things came to

714
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 1: fruition later in Tyson's career when people weren't scared of

715
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: him or whatever. There's a sense of, okay, what does

716
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 1: Tom do if he doesn't knock a guy out in

717
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: the first round or he doesn't take him down, and

718
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: some minim right away. And I know that's like the

719
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,239
Speaker 1: worst way to analyze a fight. What happens if he

720
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: isn't a good fighter, that's not realistic. But you do

721
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: have to ask those questions because can you keep that

722
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,759
Speaker 1: same intensity later into the fight, And it is a

723
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: lot about Tom's gas tank. If things don't work out

724
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: early or if things become predictable, then what do you have?

725
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: Do you have another layer past that? And again I

726
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,799
Speaker 1: think Tom is more well rounded than Curreal, But even

727
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:40,080
Speaker 1: if you are more well rounded, you still have to

728
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,200
Speaker 1: be able to get to the positions where you're better.

729
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: If Cyril is just working takedown defense like I'm fucking

730
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,879
Speaker 1: mad man, and is able to hold Tom just at

731
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: bay for a couple of rounds, then Cardio does become

732
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: a factor for a what I look at when I

733
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,120
Speaker 1: see Tom aspinall I know Cyrill is cut up and

734
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: he is fast twitch I think as well, and he

735
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,360
Speaker 1: slows down his fights goes on a a little bit

736
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: as well. But when I look at Tom Aspital, everything

737
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: he does, it looks like is fast twitch, very explosive,

738
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: a lot of movement. He's very quick, He's very fast.

739
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 1: Everything you'll hear leading into Fight Week next week about

740
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: Tom aspinall is agility, explosivity, power, That's what you're gonna hear,

741
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,640
Speaker 1: and that's true. But when it comes down to what

742
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: happens if that goes, that's where people get into the

743
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 1: wild wild West. I don't know what happened if Tom

744
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:29,760
Speaker 1: suddenly is in round three, maybe banked a couple of rounds,

745
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: but is starting to feel the effects of fatigue. And

746
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 1: that's really the only way I see Tom losing this

747
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 1: fight is if he does gas himself out, or if

748
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: he takes stupid risks and decides he wants to kickbox

749
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 1: with Cyril God, which I don't see happening. I think

750
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: Tom is a smart enough, well rounded him a fighter

751
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 1: to not put himself at a disadvantage round after round

752
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,080
Speaker 1: or tois wad early for lack of a better term,

753
00:35:52,120 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: but that is where the danger lies. And let me

754
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 1: be clear, Surreal God can win this fight. I know

755
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:59,960
Speaker 1: he's like a plus two seventy underdog, but he has

756
00:36:00,280 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 1: the ability striking on the feet, and even in the

757
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 1: Francis and Ghan who fight, at least at the early

758
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:06,600
Speaker 1: part of the fight, dro Ghan did a decent enough

759
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,320
Speaker 1: job of keeping himself when he put his back on

760
00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 1: the cage, he was able to get out. He was

761
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 1: able to fight through, grab underhooks, pivot out and reset.

762
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: And then later in the fight Francis eventually found his

763
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 1: grappling ability and ended up dumping zirell Gan on his head.

764
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: But it also took Francis an unsuccessful five round fight

765
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,319
Speaker 1: versus a younger stepe Miochic and then beating steep A

766
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 1: to understand that experience level. If you guys, remember when

767
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 1: Francis had to go five rounds for the first time

768
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: after he had knocked everybody out in the division. And

769
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying Francis is Tom aspinall completely different fighters,

770
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:41,239
Speaker 1: but after he was knocking motherfucker's dead, sent alistair Ovarem's

771
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 1: head to the moon, and he had to go five

772
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 1: rounds with steep A, you saw the gas tank deplete

773
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 1: like this, And that was without grappling, that was just

774
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:53,960
Speaker 1: with striking, that was just with explosive, hive level massive movements.

775
00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Now Tom is a bit more efficient with his striking,

776
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 1: and again I am assuming he is more prepared to

777
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,239
Speaker 1: be more well rounded than Francis ever could have at

778
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: that point or ever thought of Tom's been doing this

779
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,080
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. But when I talk about the

780
00:37:05,160 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: danger of this fight for Tom Aspinall, it's a couple

781
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: of things. Number One, Tom is pretty much the last

782
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: hope right now of heavyweight to create a new star

783
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: or a while. I mean, maybe I'm wrong, maybe there's

784
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: other heavyweights coming through and they're going to be the

785
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:20,600
Speaker 1: next big thing, But as of right now, Tom Aspinall

786
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,839
Speaker 1: is the biggest thing UFC has seen at heavyweight since

787
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: Francis san Ganu and since John Jones. Right John, since

788
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:28,480
Speaker 1: he's retired and has not really been looked at the

789
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: same way by the MMA community, he doesn't seem to

790
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: have the same cachet right now as a Tom Aspinall,

791
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: at least for the hardcore fan base. I still think

792
00:37:35,840 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: is a casual viewer. Tom Aspinall is nowhere near John

793
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,919
Speaker 1: Jones's name, legacy, any of that. But losing this would

794
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 1: be I mean, it wouldn't be catastrophic for Tom Aspinall,

795
00:37:44,320 --> 00:37:46,479
Speaker 1: but it would set back a lot of the good

796
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: work he's done at heavyweight to gain this massive fan base.

797
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:52,520
Speaker 1: So I think there is a lot of pressure there.

798
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: And let's not forget again, zer Real Gan has essentially

799
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 1: four or this will be his fourth with one interim

800
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 1: title fight, right, this will be a fourth title fight,

801
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: which gives you a lot more experience for Tom. However,

802
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,280
Speaker 1: you want to look at some of these, you know fights,

803
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: He's had two essentially title fights, and he's done well

804
00:38:08,600 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 1: in both of those, But this one feels like a

805
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:12,959
Speaker 1: lot more pressure. This one feels like there are things

806
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 1: that Tom Asmaal is gonna have to deal with this

807
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 1: time around that he hasn't in opportunities past, not just

808
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: outstriking Curtis Blades, who on the feet doesn't really have it.

809
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: Even then, Curtis Blades caught him with something right before

810
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,799
Speaker 1: he was caught, Sergei catching Tom Aspenall with something right

811
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,120
Speaker 1: before he was caught, but both guys not having the

812
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:33,319
Speaker 1: the technical ability of a surreal God to stand and

813
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:36,239
Speaker 1: actually see what's what on the feet. Now again, I'm

814
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 1: not saying that's what happens, but this is a dangerous

815
00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: fight for many reasons outside of the cage and inside it.

816
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,520
Speaker 1: For Tom Aspinall's aura of invincibility, which right now the

817
00:38:45,719 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: entire MMA community thinks he's going to walk through surreal

818
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 1: God in one round, and if he does that? Did

819
00:38:50,640 --> 00:38:54,439
Speaker 1: fucking yeah? Start the parade, hit the fireworks. This guy

820
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: is on a trajectory upward that we haven't seen in

821
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: a long time at heavywe which you also have to

822
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:00,879
Speaker 1: have someone to put him in there with, and we'll

823
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,000
Speaker 1: get to that when we get to it. Hopefully that's

824
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 1: John Jones. Maybe it's Alex Pereira. I don't know, but

825
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 1: I'm telling you guys, this is a dangerous fight. I

826
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: would say it's a dangerous fight based on what happens

827
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: in the first round. If Tom is not as successful

828
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:13,879
Speaker 1: as he normally used to in that first into mid

829
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:16,960
Speaker 1: second round, then this thing becomes a very dangerous fight.

830
00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: Hit the panic button moment. If we get into round

831
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 1: three and it's a one to one fight, er, it's

832
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 1: not going Tom's way. But conversely, we haven't seen Tom

833
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 1: aspen all quit, at least not in the UFC. We

834
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:30,839
Speaker 1: haven't seen him in really any trouble and we've seen

835
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 1: on the other side, so real gon when things get

836
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 1: a little tough, the grit the grind, I wonder if

837
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 1: it's there, I'd hope. So this is his third title opportunity,

838
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: But there is something to be said for a guy

839
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: that's never tasted defeat really in the UFC. I know

840
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: he's had some losses outside of the UFC, got ankle

841
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: hooked or he'll hooked by somebody before he got there,

842
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,759
Speaker 1: And I don't know what happened in his other I

843
00:39:50,760 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 1: guess he had illegal elbows to a guy that he

844
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: got dq'ed four. So Tom hasn't had real defeat in

845
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:59,480
Speaker 1: this level of competition, and with this amount of exposure.

846
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: I think that that's going to serve him well. The

847
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: confidence level walking in there, never having been defeated, with

848
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 1: that belt around his waist then on his shoulder versus

849
00:40:06,520 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: Surreal God, who already knows what it's like to lose

850
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: and lose in terrible fashion. That can be a motivator,

851
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,280
Speaker 1: or that could be something you become comfortable with. Anyway,

852
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: I do think there's danger in this fight for Tom Aspinall,

853
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: not because he's overlooking, not because he should be, but

854
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:21,359
Speaker 1: because Cereal God is a bit of a wild card,

855
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 1: especially on the feet. And if Tom Aspenall is not

856
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: successful early, what does Plan B look like? What happens

857
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: when we need I know, he said he's preparing for

858
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 1: five rounds, and that's great. I think Tom should prepare

859
00:40:32,040 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: for five rounds. I don't think then any fighter should

860
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 1: be preparing to walk in there and knock a guy

861
00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: out and dip. And if that doesn't happen, what do

862
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,600
Speaker 1: we do? But it is a real thing when you

863
00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:41,719
Speaker 1: get in there, no matter how much you prepared for five,

864
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: how much did you anticipate not being successful in one

865
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: or two. If that's the case, then you can't find

866
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: your range striking. And because you can't find your range striking,

867
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: you can't find your takedowns, or you can't find your grappling.

868
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: Then what happened? These are all things that we need

869
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,560
Speaker 1: to consider. We're talking about this fight now. With all

870
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: that being said, I've thrown at you a couple of

871
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 1: different scenarios. One being Tom Aspenal walks in there, knocks

872
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 1: out Cyril Gon in the first one or two rounds.

873
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,960
Speaker 1: Two being Cyril Gon handles himself very well on the feet,

874
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: frustrates Tom aspinall Tom over extends, gets hit with something

875
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,720
Speaker 1: Cyrill potentially follows up t Ko. Cerrill Gon or Cyril

876
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,720
Speaker 1: controls the fight from the outside using his kicks his teeps.

877
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 1: Tom can't get rhythm, starts to gas and Cyril wins

878
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: a decision because Tom just can't put it together late,

879
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,160
Speaker 1: or we see something we've never seen before, which is

880
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 1: Tom Aspinal thriving into the later rounds. If that happens,

881
00:41:30,719 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: I would be more I mean, I'll be impressed with

882
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: whatever happened, But if Tom were to find a way

883
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:37,239
Speaker 1: to be fresh in the later rounds and dominating this

884
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 1: five fifty forty four fifty forty five type stuff, I

885
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 1: would I would probably be not more impressed because a

886
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 1: knockout is still a knockout, but I'd be very impressed

887
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: with that performance as well. And having said it all,

888
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: I think this, Like I said, I keep going back

889
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:52,440
Speaker 1: to it. I think Cyril Gon being slept on the

890
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: way he is is absolutely insane. I think he's got

891
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,640
Speaker 1: a very good chance of at least pushing Tom to

892
00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,359
Speaker 1: a place he's never been. But I still, at least

893
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: right now, I still have to think that Tom Aspinall

894
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: is gonna get this fight done. I just don't see

895
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 1: the places that Cerril gan is better being good enough

896
00:42:07,440 --> 00:42:09,640
Speaker 1: for him to stop what's in front of him. Right

897
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 1: Just being a good striker, in my opinion, is not

898
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 1: enough to stop Tom Aspinall from beating him because again,

899
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 1: he is so varied in his offense, he doesn't necessarily

900
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: get hit a ton. He's lost in the UFC, but

901
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: not really he got hurt versus Curtis Blades. Both men

902
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,280
Speaker 1: have their chin exposed leaning back when they strike sometimes,

903
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: so that's a toss up. But if this fight is

904
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: to ever change from feet to ground, it will be

905
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,600
Speaker 1: because Tom got a hold of Cerril gon And let's

906
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,480
Speaker 1: not forget it wasn't just John Jones that outgrappled Seril Goan.

907
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't even just Frances and Ghanu that did. But

908
00:42:39,040 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 1: Alexander Volkoff slung him around as well, and again we

909
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,759
Speaker 1: could argue that Bolkov should have won that fight. And

910
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:45,960
Speaker 1: I just think when it comes to the well rounded

911
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 1: nature of MMA, Tom is better he is and if

912
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 1: he's able to prove that in this fight, and again,

913
00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 1: the sky is the limit for Tom when it comes

914
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: to a potential matchup at the White House with I

915
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 1: would hope John Jones or Alex Perera either one. But

916
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: if you're overlooking as a fan, not Tom. But if

917
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,600
Speaker 1: you're overlooking Cerrial God, you're making a mistake. He will

918
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 1: at least be ready Cardio why striking wise, have no

919
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 1: idea how he's gonna deal with Tom's takedowns. I don't

920
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 1: know how Tom is gonna deal with Currel's maybe improved

921
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,759
Speaker 1: takedown defense. But like I said, every fight's a dangerous one,

922
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: but this one particularly more in my opinion, for Tom Aspinall,

923
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: because Cereal God is a better striker than everyone Tom

924
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: has ever fallen a heavyweight. One kick, one punch, one elbow,

925
00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 1: one knee can change the entire fight. And I don't

926
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: know if I've seen Tom Aspinall under more pressure than

927
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,359
Speaker 1: he will be on Saturday, October twenty fifth, And that's

928
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,720
Speaker 1: a big, big deal. Yeah, there was pressure for Curtis Blaze,

929
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 1: Yes there was pressure for Sergey Papovich, but this one's different. Everyone,

930
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:40,759
Speaker 1: thanks Tom Asminal is gonna win this fight. Everyone is

931
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 1: already looking toward the White House card. Everyone's already talking

932
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: about Tom Asminall, Alex Prera or Tom Aspinall, John Jones

933
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 1: at the White House. There's all these plans lined up,

934
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 1: and here's Cyril God, who's no one is really thinking about,

935
00:43:53,320 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: no one's talking about, and no one gives a chance

936
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: to win. I would say this is the least pressure

937
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: he's been under, maybe even less pressure than the the

938
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: John Jones fight, because Jones was looked at as you know,

939
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:06,840
Speaker 1: potentially a little older and slower coming up to heavyweight.

940
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 1: This is a freaking Cadillac of heavyweights. People are telling

941
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: me about tom Asminal so sarrel Gon under almost no pressure.

942
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:14,640
Speaker 1: Can he get it done? Like I said, I think

943
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 1: it's dangerous, but ultimately no, I think tom Asmenal is

944
00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:20,439
Speaker 1: going to do this, and when he does, you will

945
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 1: get all due credit from me and I hope the

946
00:44:23,080 --> 00:44:25,520
Speaker 1: rest of people for beating a really good fighter, in

947
00:44:25,560 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: my opinion, in surreal Gun. That's what I think. You

948
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,000
Speaker 1: guys let me know in the comments below. Does tom

949
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,799
Speaker 1: aspinall slip on the banana peel here? Does Syrill Gon

950
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 1: shock everyone? What happens on October twenty fifth, UFC three

951
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 1: twenty one main event, tom aspen All serreal Gon don't

952
00:44:39,400 --> 00:44:42,440
Speaker 1: have those answers. More videos coming up on this obviously,

953
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: so I guess we'll find out. All right, So we

954
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:46,879
Speaker 1: are back on the way concept presented by the Ring

955
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:49,880
Speaker 1: magazine and folks, we just had one of the craziest

956
00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: heavyweight fights I've seen in a while Joseph Parker versus

957
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:57,319
Speaker 1: Fabio Wardley for the WBO Interim title. It was an

958
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:01,440
Speaker 1: absolute banger that is going to be mar in conspiracy.

959
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:06,280
Speaker 1: As Fabio Wardley stops Joseph Parker in the eleventh round,

960
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: the improbable insane run for Wardley continues, but it wasn't

961
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:15,600
Speaker 1: without question. What do I mean the breakdown? Let's go

962
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: all right? So, like I said, WBO Interim Heavyweight Championship

963
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,319
Speaker 1: winner to face Alexander Usiki have Joseph Parker, who has

964
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,680
Speaker 1: probably rightfully earned the opportunity to fight Alexander Ussik, should

965
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,920
Speaker 1: have gotten it before Duban got his rematch because Duba

966
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,680
Speaker 1: Parker were supposed to fight Dubois didn't fight him. We

967
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:37,840
Speaker 1: still don't know really the reason why it was alleged sickness.

968
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: Then Parker should have had his second opportunity after Usik

969
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 1: beat Duba. But Usik gets injured so therefore he can't

970
00:45:45,560 --> 00:45:48,359
Speaker 1: defend in time. They given him extension and Parker takes

971
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 1: the Wardley fight. So a risky move from Joseph Parker

972
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:54,120
Speaker 1: to take the Fabio Wardley fight, but he does, and

973
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,879
Speaker 1: because he does, this opportunity may have just slipped away

974
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: from him on the other side. Fabio Wardley, Man, this

975
00:46:00,719 --> 00:46:03,919
Speaker 1: is incredible to say, but just started boxing ten years

976
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 1: ago at the age of twenty. He's now thirty. He

977
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:09,320
Speaker 1: only had I think they said four white collar boxing fights,

978
00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:12,640
Speaker 1: that's right, the misfit style boxing fights before he turned

979
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 1: pro and then started an improbable run that has led

980
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 1: him to the top of the heavyweight mountain. At this point,

981
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,280
Speaker 1: he is the number one contender for the heavyweight Championship

982
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 1: of the WBO, and this opportunity versus Joseph Parker comes

983
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: after an improbable win versus Justice Hooney where he is

984
00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:29,480
Speaker 1: losing damn near every round of that fight and Hooney

985
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 1: is doing his thing and then right hand on the button,

986
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: Wardley hits him and stops him. You could say it

987
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 1: was a quick ten count, but I'm saying to you

988
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,640
Speaker 1: it was insane to see and Wardley ends up in

989
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: this fight, and from the rip the idea that Joseph

990
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:45,840
Speaker 1: Parker and even in my mind, was going to stop

991
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,360
Speaker 1: Fabio Wardley. It almost happened. In the first round. That

992
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: was the reality we almost saw as Joseph Parker tagged

993
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,000
Speaker 1: Wardley with big time shots and I thought, oh shit,

994
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: this is going to be the moment where Joseph Parker

995
00:46:56,440 --> 00:47:01,320
Speaker 1: stops Wardley and rightfully finally gets his shot against Alexander Usik.

996
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: Turns out Fabio. Wardley's got a chin of steel, just

997
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: like Joseph Parker. Dude. Who By the way, Parker came

998
00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: into this fight at two hundred and sixty plus pounds.

999
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: That was the same weight that Tyson Fury weighed the

1000
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: first time he fought Alexander Uzzi. Anyway, round one looked

1001
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,799
Speaker 1: like Parker may stop Wardley, hit him with some big

1002
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: shots at him, wobbled a bit, had him on the ropes.

1003
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 1: And then in round two, Wardley comes out and damn

1004
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: near stops Joseph Parker. It's him with some big punches in. Again,

1005
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to undersell this. Joe Parker looked great

1006
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,839
Speaker 1: in this fight. He looks stout, He looked like an

1007
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,560
Speaker 1: experience heavyweight. He looked like what he has done on

1008
00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: this Boogeyman style run, that he was going to overwhelm Wardley,

1009
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: that he was in this first round especially going to

1010
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:43,279
Speaker 1: be the better and more experienced fighter. But he also

1011
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,440
Speaker 1: had big time power he was bringing in with this

1012
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,040
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty pound frame. But on the other

1013
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:50,360
Speaker 1: side of it you had Fabio Wardley, who did not

1014
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 1: shy away at any point in this fight. Wardley looked fast,

1015
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,160
Speaker 1: he looked explosive, he looked technical, and he looked sound. Yes,

1016
00:47:58,200 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: there were things that he was doing that you can

1017
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:03,879
Speaker 1: still say. Yes, Fabio Wardley is very green, moving straight back,

1018
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: his hands were very low. Pretty much the majority of

1019
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: the fight, he was getting hit with stuff. Thank god

1020
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: his again, his chin is made of animanium. Both guys

1021
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: were for the most part that he was having a

1022
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 1: hard time dealing with the power of Joseph Parker while

1023
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 1: still having his own power. I mean he again, he

1024
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:22,880
Speaker 1: was just landing really quick, punctual, technical jab right hand,

1025
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,399
Speaker 1: upper cut, underneath it, hook right hand when he wanted

1026
00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:27,759
Speaker 1: to let him go. He could see he belongs at

1027
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,960
Speaker 1: the top level of heavyweight, which was a question we

1028
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 1: had coming into this thing, and Fabio Wardley definitively answered,

1029
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:36,319
Speaker 1: even before he got the win, that he belonged at

1030
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 1: the top level of this So from that second round

1031
00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:40,040
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a back and fourth. Third. I

1032
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 1: thought Wardley won. The fourth, I thought Parker. One could

1033
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: argue either way on that. And then it started to

1034
00:48:45,040 --> 00:48:48,280
Speaker 1: become a Joseph Parker fight where he was again taking

1035
00:48:48,320 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 1: over in close rounds. He would finish strong, he would

1036
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 1: land big power, he would have the bigger moments, and

1037
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: he would back Bardly up wardly fighting off the back

1038
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: foot for most of the fight. Rounds five, six, seven,

1039
00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,399
Speaker 1: and eight again close rounds. You could go more so

1040
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,319
Speaker 1: to Wardley and some and more so to Parker and others.

1041
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 1: But I had this going into round ten. I had

1042
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: this a six to three favored fight for Joseph Parker.

1043
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,640
Speaker 1: And then in round ten, after Parker had hit Wardley

1044
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:16,359
Speaker 1: with stuff and wobbled him and hurt him, and he thought, man, Okay,

1045
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 1: maybe Parker's gonna get him out this round. Maybe He's

1046
00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 1: gonna get him out this round. And Wardley just kept

1047
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,640
Speaker 1: hanging in and even when he was hurt, he was

1048
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:25,279
Speaker 1: able to counter off while being on the ropes and

1049
00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,319
Speaker 1: throw big shots to stop a little bit of that

1050
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,839
Speaker 1: momentum from Joseph Parker, who I thought when he had

1051
00:49:29,880 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 1: Wardley heard in certain moments and he wanted to finish,

1052
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: and he wanted to go in for the kill. Really

1053
00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 1: couldn't do that because of the power and the fire

1054
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 1: coming back from Wardley. Those were the moments where I

1055
00:49:39,560 --> 00:49:41,799
Speaker 1: thought if Parker could have taken advantage where he had

1056
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,759
Speaker 1: Wardley hurt in several of the rounds, and we may

1057
00:49:43,760 --> 00:49:46,240
Speaker 1: have seen a different outcome in this fight. But instead

1058
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 1: he wasn't able to Wardley was able to land one shot,

1059
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,799
Speaker 1: clinch him, referee would separate him, do something to where

1060
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 1: Joseph Parker would have to stop his onslaught and reset.

1061
00:49:56,160 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: And that was a big problem that I think eventually

1062
00:49:58,880 --> 00:50:01,479
Speaker 1: left the opening for to come back into this fight.

1063
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,480
Speaker 1: And it happened in round ten, just as Parker had

1064
00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,759
Speaker 1: in the previous you know, two or three rounds. I

1065
00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:09,000
Speaker 1: thought he was he was finding a good groove of things,

1066
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,640
Speaker 1: and he was really a locomotive moving forward these later rounds,

1067
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 1: these championship rounds where Fabio Wardley was not his experience,

1068
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:20,160
Speaker 1: where he didn't have this level of pressure, and where

1069
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: with thaw and experience and grit and gas tank and

1070
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: fatigue management, all these things you didn't know the answer

1071
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 1: to that you did for Joseph Parker. Fabio Wardley stepped

1072
00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:32,960
Speaker 1: up when I thought there were moments he got hit

1073
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:35,120
Speaker 1: with punches in this tenth round where it looked like

1074
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 1: he just didn't have the answer. He was frustrated and

1075
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,400
Speaker 1: his hands would go down, his face would kind of

1076
00:50:39,400 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: be like, damn, I just can't figure this thing out.

1077
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: He's just he's more powerful than me. I can hit

1078
00:50:44,280 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 1: him with stuff, and he hits me and it hurts

1079
00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:48,279
Speaker 1: me more. There was a moment in this tenth round

1080
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:50,560
Speaker 1: where it clicked over and Wardley kind of gave him

1081
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 1: the you know, okay, come on, got some confidence back

1082
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: in himself and fired off. I think it was a

1083
00:50:56,680 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: right hand something that hurt Joseph Parker, and he starts

1084
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 1: teeing off at him toward the end of the round,

1085
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: and I thought he was gonna get a stop. It's

1086
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: there and he's got Parker on the ropes and Parker's

1087
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,200
Speaker 1: making him miss and trying to move his head. And

1088
00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:10,440
Speaker 1: the round goes and all of a sudden, what looked

1089
00:51:10,480 --> 00:51:13,560
Speaker 1: like a fight. Joseph Parker was starting to run away

1090
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:15,720
Speaker 1: with a little bit, starting to get ahead and starting

1091
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,359
Speaker 1: to push and push again. Close fight, you can judge

1092
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: it either way. I just looked at it like this

1093
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: was a again, going into round ten, six to three

1094
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,960
Speaker 1: fight for Joseph Parker probably was gonna be seven to

1095
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,120
Speaker 1: three but Wardley turns it around and wins the round

1096
00:51:29,239 --> 00:51:31,359
Speaker 1: at the end, making it six to four. Going into

1097
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:34,240
Speaker 1: the eleventh round. We have a live fight on her hands,

1098
00:51:34,280 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 1: and Wardley, just as he finished the tenth round, came

1099
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: out in the eleventh on fucking fire. This is what

1100
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: you want to see out of a relatively still at

1101
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: thirty years old young heavyweight. No he's not Mike Tyson

1102
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:48,720
Speaker 1: in his twenties. No he's not a guy that trained

1103
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,360
Speaker 1: this sport from age ten. But he's still only thirty

1104
00:51:51,440 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 1: and heavyweights do last a little longer. And he came

1105
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,120
Speaker 1: out for a guy that hadn't been there, for a

1106
00:51:56,120 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 1: guy that didn't understand that level of depth before. It

1107
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: felt like he'd been there. It felt like a championship

1108
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: round for Wardley, who came out and put it on

1109
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: Joseph Parker in this round to a degree where it

1110
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 1: was one way traffic. This wasn't him winning rounds back.

1111
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:13,480
Speaker 1: This was him going bulldozer flat line and Parker was trying.

1112
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,560
Speaker 1: He was trying to come back. But there was a

1113
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:19,760
Speaker 1: beautiful sequence when Parker went jab and Wardley slipped outside.

1114
00:52:19,760 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 1: The jab banged the uppercut and it hurt Parker put

1115
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: him on wobbly legs, backed him up. He had his

1116
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,320
Speaker 1: back on the ropes. Here comes Wardley and he's firing

1117
00:52:27,360 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: off and Parker had nothing for him. And here is

1118
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 1: where the controversy came. Wardley was firing off, Parker was

1119
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: not answering where all the shots landing. No, but Parker

1120
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,799
Speaker 1: clearly was hurt. He wasn't out on his feet, he

1121
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 1: wasn't stumbling to the point where he didn't have his balance.

1122
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: He was on wobbly legs, no doubt about it. But

1123
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,680
Speaker 1: he was still in the fight, moving his head. He

1124
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,120
Speaker 1: was trying to hold his guard up. He was getting

1125
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 1: hit with shots, and he was not answering with shots.

1126
00:52:49,640 --> 00:52:51,800
Speaker 1: But the referee instead of what I think would have

1127
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:54,719
Speaker 1: been appropriate at the time, which is maybe separate them

1128
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,800
Speaker 1: and start a standing eight or Joseph Parker maybe again,

1129
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 1: it's playing Monday morning quarterback. You can't tell him to

1130
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: take a knee if he doesn't feel like he needs to.

1131
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:04,680
Speaker 1: I think there should have been an eight count here.

1132
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,800
Speaker 1: The referee steps in and stops the fight, and Joseph

1133
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: Parker deserved a little better than that. It was early,

1134
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: It was such a good fight, It was such a

1135
00:53:14,080 --> 00:53:17,000
Speaker 1: big moment for both fighters and for Parker, how much

1136
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,200
Speaker 1: was on the line for him after being turned away,

1137
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 1: turned away, not getting his opportunity being the boogeyman at heavyweight.

1138
00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 1: He deserved longer, he deserved a better opportunity than the

1139
00:53:26,960 --> 00:53:29,400
Speaker 1: referee gave him. And for Wardley, a guy that again

1140
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't even be at this level. He started boxing at

1141
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:35,080
Speaker 1: twenty years old, been in this game ten years, started

1142
00:53:35,080 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: with white collar, no amateur experience comes in and he's

1143
00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 1: doing this to the boogeyman of the heavyweight scene right now.

1144
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 1: He's doing this to the guy that is supposed to

1145
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:46,200
Speaker 1: be fighting, Alexander Usik, and Wardley's a massive underdog and

1146
00:53:46,239 --> 00:53:48,839
Speaker 1: here he is having his moment and the referee, yeah,

1147
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:50,560
Speaker 1: he waves it off and Wardley gets the win, and

1148
00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:52,120
Speaker 1: what a moment. But he kind of robs him of

1149
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: that moment because you let that thing go for ten

1150
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 1: more seconds, you let Parker get the standing eight or whatever,

1151
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,719
Speaker 1: and you still might have a ward knock out on

1152
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 1: your hands. Who knows, But we won't ever know because

1153
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: the referee did step in early. And that's the only

1154
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: thing that leaves a sour taste in my mouth is

1155
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: Joseph Parker deserved better than that. And this is not

1156
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: to take away from Fabio Wardley, because what a moment

1157
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: for the young man. What I mean, just an incredible

1158
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 1: showing from him, never quit, was down in this fight,

1159
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 1: came back and stops Joseph Parker. I don't like the stoppage.

1160
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: I don't like it. I've watched it over and over

1161
00:54:26,640 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: and it's clearly early to him. You even see Joseph

1162
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,160
Speaker 1: Parker look at the referee're like, no, like he's not

1163
00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: out of it. Sure, he was hurt, but he deserves

1164
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: the right to go through that moment and try to

1165
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 1: will himself back because Wardley had been hurt many times

1166
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,319
Speaker 1: in this fight, and Parker too early on. But that's

1167
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: what a back and forth fight is. You let these

1168
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 1: two warriors find out who is willing to go to

1169
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 1: hell and back. And they were doing that, and it's

1170
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: just one of the things that puts a sour taste

1171
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 1: in your mouth and boxing is when a referee takes

1172
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 1: that liberty and takes that moment from both fighters. And again,

1173
00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: if you're on the side of things, where Parker wasn't

1174
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: answering shots, he was getting twenty unanswered shots put on him,

1175
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: I get it. I still think it was a little early.

1176
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: I still think Parker had his wits about him, that

1177
00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: he deserved the eight count. If you were going to

1178
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: look to stop that fight, you give him that opportunity

1179
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 1: to regather himself and go for it. But that's just

1180
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:14,960
Speaker 1: my opinion. I thought it was early, and it does

1181
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:17,200
Speaker 1: take a bit away from the moment. But man, still,

1182
00:55:17,239 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 1: what a fucking moment for Fabio Wardley. Again, I hin't

1183
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:24,000
Speaker 1: help but be excited for the kid. It was just

1184
00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:26,719
Speaker 1: an incredible night man because he shouldn't have looked as

1185
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 1: good as he did, and Parker looked great. This is

1186
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:31,719
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from Joseph Parker. Was he a

1187
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 1: tad bit too heavy coming in, Maybe didn't look his

1188
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,720
Speaker 1: agile in those later rounds as I thought potentially he would,

1189
00:55:36,719 --> 00:55:39,879
Speaker 1: like he did against Wilder and others. But he still

1190
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,799
Speaker 1: looked fantastic, and he had fucking dynamite in his hands

1191
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 1: when he connected. On Wardly, it was like he had

1192
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,880
Speaker 1: never felt some of that stuff before. He probably hadn't,

1193
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,160
Speaker 1: but Wardly, the heart to stay in there, the will

1194
00:55:50,239 --> 00:55:52,400
Speaker 1: to keep going when he's down some of these rounds

1195
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:54,200
Speaker 1: and he's frustrated, You could see it on his face.

1196
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: He just keeps going and he digs and he shows

1197
00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:02,160
Speaker 1: championship mentality. And again it just comes down to that

1198
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:04,839
Speaker 1: moment in the eleventh round where the referee steps in prematurely.

1199
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:06,680
Speaker 1: I hate it. I hate it for Joseph Parker. It

1200
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: is what it is. Fabio Wardley. Here's the thing as

1201
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 1: a fan. It doesn't take away from Joseph Parker to me,

1202
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 1: but as a selfish way of looking at it, because

1203
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: it does take away. It does take away his potential

1204
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,680
Speaker 1: shot at Alexander Uzak. Let's say he survives there and

1205
00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 1: wins the twelfth This is gonna be a Joseph Parker

1206
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:24,239
Speaker 1: win probably, but he doesn't get that now, he doesn't

1207
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 1: get that big paid and Fabio Wardley does fair play.

1208
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,120
Speaker 1: That's how the cookie crumbles. And at the end of

1209
00:56:29,120 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 1: the day, it's fight, it's combat sports. But man, it's

1210
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: just an unfortunate moment. Very controversial. I think it was

1211
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 1: a bad stoppage. I think it was an early stoppage.

1212
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 1: But I do think Fabio Wardley. He may not be

1213
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 1: the most technically sound, he may not be the most crisp,

1214
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: but damn he's talented and I wish he would have

1215
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 1: started boxing five years earlier, even because he has made

1216
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:51,959
Speaker 1: such a close in the gap of what it takes

1217
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: to be an experienced boxer. His athleticism is speed. The

1218
00:56:54,680 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 1: guy that moves like that at two forty at his size, whoa.

1219
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: I liked that. He was very impressive to me in

1220
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: this fight Parker as well. And again it's an unfortunate ending.

1221
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,399
Speaker 1: But now we look to what's next, and I saw

1222
00:57:06,440 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 1: people saying, you know, do a Wardley and Moses a

1223
00:57:08,440 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 1: tauma title eliminator. Fuck all that Wardley deserves now this

1224
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:15,520
Speaker 1: shot to fight Alexander Usick, he just does. That's what

1225
00:57:15,560 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 1: you get for winning the interim WBO Championship of the World.

1226
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 1: Usick is the title holder. Now do I think Fabio

1227
00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:24,960
Speaker 1: Wardley has what it takes to be Usick? I don't know.

1228
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: And if I'm looking at it right away, no, Alexander

1229
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:29,720
Speaker 1: Usick is the best in the world, and it seems

1230
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,200
Speaker 1: like by a great margin. I didn't think that Parker

1231
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,280
Speaker 1: was going to be Alexander Ussick. I don't think Wardley would.

1232
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean he shouldn't get his opportunity to try.

1233
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,120
Speaker 1: It's the same thing we were arguing in fighting about

1234
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:42,920
Speaker 1: for Joseph Parker, he didn't get his shot. This is

1235
00:57:42,960 --> 00:57:45,120
Speaker 1: what this young man deserves and who knows it is

1236
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,680
Speaker 1: still heavyweight boxing at the end of the day, and

1237
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: Wardley is now two fights in a row shown no

1238
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,400
Speaker 1: matter how far he's down in a fight, he's still

1239
00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:54,920
Speaker 1: looking for that one shot. You better be perfect. What

1240
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:57,240
Speaker 1: did he say? For thirty six minutes? And he just

1241
00:57:57,280 --> 00:57:59,919
Speaker 1: needs to be perfect for one moment. What an entertaining fight,

1242
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:05,280
Speaker 1: What an entertaining night of fights. It's unfortunate, clear early stoppage,

1243
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: and it really really is is a disservice to Joseph

1244
00:58:08,640 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: Parker to do that. I can't speak into that enough.

1245
00:58:10,720 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: It was. It was such a bad early stoppage to me,

1246
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: but I have to give it up for Fabio Wardy,

1247
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: for both fighters. It's just an unfortunate way to end.

1248
00:58:18,720 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: But Fabio Wardley wins. I TKO referee stoppage. What do

1249
00:58:23,160 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: you guys think in the comments? Let me know down

1250
00:58:25,320 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: below and what happens in a Wardley oohsick fight? What's

1251
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 1: next for Joseph Parker. I don't have any of those answers,

1252
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: but I guess we'll find out all right, so we

1253
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: are back on the way concept presented by The Ring magazine,

1254
00:58:37,440 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: and today we are here to talk about the controversy

1255
00:58:40,800 --> 00:58:45,240
Speaker 1: that was the ipoke of doom. That's right, Captain Insano,

1256
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: in the form of surreal God taking two fingers and

1257
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,880
Speaker 1: shoving them into tom Aspinall's eyes. It was clearly on purpose.

1258
00:58:52,920 --> 00:58:57,040
Speaker 1: It was clearly intentional. It clearly has gotten out of hand.

1259
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 1: People are losing their minds over this and acting as

1260
00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: though to real Gon is an ultimate evil villain in

1261
00:59:02,440 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 1: a movie, when in reality, guys, this is fighting. And yes,

1262
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: UFC three twenty one could have been a massive moment

1263
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: almost was, and yes it was a letdown, and we're

1264
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,320
Speaker 1: gonna cover all the conspiracy theories, but none of this

1265
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:15,800
Speaker 1: was on purpose, and it was handled kind of in

1266
00:59:15,880 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 1: the most perfect way you can. I know, that's not

1267
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,440
Speaker 1: the sensational headline, that's not the clickbait on nail whatever,

1268
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 1: but it's just unfortunate. Well, I mean, tom Asman a

1269
00:59:24,440 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: cereal Gon ends in a no contest and we didn't

1270
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:31,160
Speaker 1: really learn anything we didn't already know, or maybe we did.

1271
00:59:31,240 --> 00:59:33,360
Speaker 1: Let's break the whole thing down, but before we do,

1272
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 1: I want to say a big thank you to the

1273
00:59:34,760 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 1: sponsor of today's video, First Form. That's right, guys, First

1278
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:54,320

Speaker 1: record a lot of videos like this, when I'm on

1280
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 1: a live stream with you guys for six seven plus hours,

1281
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,960
Speaker 1: when I have to try to break down one of

1282
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: the most controversial things going on in MMA right now

1283
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 1: in the heavyweight division. It's whole food. It's HSF certified,

1284
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 1: and that means these things are safe for your body.

1285
01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 1: And because First Form cares more about people than it

1286
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:15,200

01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: their supplements to leave you feeling not only refreshed, happy, healthy,

1288
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:21,200

1289
01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:24,120

1293
01:00:35,240 --> 01:00:37,560
Speaker 1: This is something that I use once again, if I'm

1294
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 1: sitting in the office all day and I don't have

1295
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 1: the vitamins to go outside and round myself on the earth,

1296
01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:43,880

Speaker 1: And now let's get back into the breakdown, all right,

1314
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: So you FC three twenty one, We're gonna quickly run

1315
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:32,480
Speaker 1: through the rest of the card after I talk about

1316
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,360
Speaker 1: the main event, but we have to spend the majority

1317
01:01:34,360 --> 01:01:35,920
Speaker 1: of this video talking about the main event. It's the

1318
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:39,760
Speaker 1: most controversial thing that happened today, and the fallout from

1319
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: this will be one of the biggest things that happens

1320
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 1: in MMA. Tom Aspinall, Cyrill Gon. Okay, I told you

1321
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,439
Speaker 1: guys coming into this fight that there was a real

1322
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 1: possibility that Serrell Gon was going to be a problem

1323
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: for tom Aspinall as much as everyone had spoken about

1324
01:01:54,960 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: this being tom Aspinall cutting through Cyrill Gon like a

1325
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: hot knife through butter throughout the entire lead up, and

1326
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:04,840
Speaker 1: they did that because the MMA world so badly wants

1327
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 1: tom Aspinall to be better than John Jones, not just

1328
01:02:07,880 --> 01:02:10,520
Speaker 1: now potentially, Ever, was because of the narratives that have

1329
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 1: now developed about the people that John Jones fought when

1330
01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: he fought them. I've been hearing for the last couple

1331
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: of years that John never fought a good fighter. John

1332
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:19,680
Speaker 1: never had a great resume. He just fought a much

1333
01:02:19,720 --> 01:02:21,880
Speaker 1: of bloated It used to be bloated middleweights, then it

1334
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 1: was bloated welterweights. Now I'm hearing bloated lightweights are we

1335
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,000
Speaker 1: just going to continue this bullshit? And of course the

1336
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,960
Speaker 1: PD usage from John Jones that does disqualify him from

1337
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:32,960
Speaker 1: a lot of people considering him the greatest of all time.

1338
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 1: But this fight was about more than that. It was

1339
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: a direct comparison, which is unfair completely and MMA doesn't

1340
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 1: work like a remedial school math where one plus one

1341
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,520
Speaker 1: equals two. But it was a direct line comparison. What

1342
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,600
Speaker 1: will Tom Aspinall do against the guy that John Jones

1343
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 1: made his debut at heavyweight against and made look like

1344
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: easy work. John Jones walked into a fight with Surrell

1345
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: God his first fight at heavyweight and submitted him in

1346
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: under two minutes. It was easy. He didn't get hit,

1347
01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: he dunked under a left hand body lock took him down.

1348
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 1: So the question was, how does Tom Aspinall fight this

1349
01:03:03,360 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 1: version of Cyril Gon arguably lost his last fight to

1350
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 1: Alexander Volkov, even though he got the win there, and

1351
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: he'd already lost two title fights versus John Jones and

1352
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:15,200
Speaker 1: Francis and Ghan who. If you want to be amongst

1353
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:18,040
Speaker 1: the greats there, you have to beat Cyril Gon because

1354
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,600
Speaker 1: he's kind of the heavyweight gatekeeper, That's what he's become now.

1355
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,880
Speaker 1: But I told you, guys, if Cyril Gohan is able

1356
01:03:22,960 --> 01:03:26,480
Speaker 1: to control the pace and distance of this fight, using

1357
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: his reach advantage, using his kicks, and keeping away from

1358
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,440
Speaker 1: the big power of Tom Aspinall stuff and takedowns win

1359
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,880
Speaker 1: timely and necessary. This can become a problem for Aspinall

1360
01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:40,200
Speaker 1: because as much as we know he's a devastating puncher,

1361
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 1: as much as we know he is youthful, fast, agile,

1362
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:47,320
Speaker 1: I've been told he moves like a welterweight. This was

1363
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,320
Speaker 1: the fight where you were going to fight arguably a

1364
01:03:49,360 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 1: better athlete, not even arguably. I think Cyril gon is

1365
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,800
Speaker 1: clearly a better athlete than most of of a fighter.

1366
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,200
Speaker 1: So how do you deal with that level of heavyweight?

1367
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Not the guys that you're better than, faster than, more

1368
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,720
Speaker 1: powerful than that. You can use your athleticism to be

1369
01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 1: better than. But there's another athlete that's better than you.

1370
01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: What do you do technically to beat him? Fight starts,

1371
01:04:06,600 --> 01:04:08,360
Speaker 1: and we're finding out right away this is gonna be,

1372
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:10,720
Speaker 1: like I said, a different fight than a lot of

1373
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: people that said. Tom Aspinall by, however he wants, is

1374
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 1: gonna take his chin off. So real Gon was Pepper

1375
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:19,800
Speaker 1: and tom Aspinall with his jab and touching him to

1376
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:22,640
Speaker 1: the body with it, going upstairs, bloody in the nose,

1377
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:24,320
Speaker 1: keeping him at range with kicks. And by the way,

1378
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and do the narrative stuff

1379
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:29,320
Speaker 1: where you're gonna hear from most creators on this. You're

1380
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:32,080
Speaker 1: gonna hear that tom Aspinall was getting worked, tom Aspenall

1381
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,120
Speaker 1: was getting dominated, tom Asmaaal wasn't in the fight. It's

1382
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: not true. This was a great back and forth fight.

1383
01:04:37,440 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: It was a great first round. This was one of

1384
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 1: those fights that started to have a big fight field

1385
01:04:42,280 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: as they walked to the cage. Because it's the heavyweight

1386
01:04:44,400 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 1: fucking title, for Christ's sakes, it should be the biggest

1387
01:04:47,320 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: fight in the UFC. It was very disappointing to see

1388
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:51,959
Speaker 1: how it was promoted. It didn't feel like it until

1389
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,000
Speaker 1: about five minutes before the fight started that oh shit, yeah,

1390
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,560
Speaker 1: this is a fucking massive, important fight for the UFC

1391
01:04:57,760 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 1: right now. It felt like an afterthought in the fight buil.

1392
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 1: Whether it was tom Asmanal talking about how he wouldn't

1393
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:03,840
Speaker 1: fight his friend, whether it was Dana White not really

1394
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 1: giving a shit about promoting this thing, and the press

1395
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,560
Speaker 1: conference being twenty minutes long. Whether it was Tom Aspinall's

1396
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: dad saying, hey, listen, we're gonna leave the sport in

1397
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 1: three fights again. Can't blame him if he wants to

1398
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,680
Speaker 1: go get his back somewhere else, But it doesn't make

1399
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 1: somebody want to watch a heavyweight championship fight when the

1400
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 1: champ's like, I'm going to be here for like three

1401
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,120
Speaker 1: more fights, give me a year and a half and

1402
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: I'm gone. That doesn't really compute with greatness. That means

1403
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 1: you're going to be here for a little bit and

1404
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: gone tomorrow. Regardless, it started to feel that way, and

1405
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 1: in the first round you got a great heavyweight matchup

1406
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 1: two guys looking to strike, two guys looking to go

1407
01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,840
Speaker 1: back and forth, a bit of a technical kind of

1408
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,320
Speaker 1: battle between the two where tom Aspinall had to slow

1409
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,920
Speaker 1: things down a little bit and he couldn't just be

1410
01:05:40,040 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 1: explosive and twitchy and fast because he, I think, like

1411
01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot of people underestimated Serril Gon. He did not.

1412
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,360
Speaker 1: He knew he was gonna have to be in this

1413
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: fight for more than just one round, and it looked

1414
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 1: like he was starting to work himself into it. But

1415
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: also Cyril Gon was prepared for pretty much everything in

1416
01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 1: that first round that Tom Aspinall had. Like I said,

1417
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Cyril was early and often with his jab out of

1418
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:01,760
Speaker 1: the south past stance. He was pepper and Tom with it.

1419
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:03,440
Speaker 1: He was bloody in the nose, he was snapping the

1420
01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:05,520
Speaker 1: head back. There was not a nice short left hand

1421
01:06:05,560 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 1: that Cyril landed early on in the fight as well.

1422
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: That kind of set the tone to show Tom that

1423
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't just going to be, you know, a bulldozing

1424
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 1: one way traffic type of fight. And Tom, on the

1425
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:17,479
Speaker 1: other hand, mixed a lot more stuff in this first

1426
01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 1: round than you normally would have to see him. Most

1427
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:21,560
Speaker 1: guys want to stand in the pocket with him. You

1428
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:24,600
Speaker 1: trade right hands, and Tom Aspinall usually wins that. Matter

1429
01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 1: of fact, he damn near always wins that. But sarreal God,

1430
01:06:27,320 --> 01:06:30,440
Speaker 1: circling to his right, getting away from the power jabbing

1431
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: teething made Tom kick. He had some low kicks that

1432
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: were affected. We'll take a look at some of the

1433
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,440
Speaker 1: stats in a second, but it was a more variety

1434
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: Tom aspenaal hell. There were multiple times where Aspinall would

1435
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:42,880
Speaker 1: change levels and use his faints and change levels and

1436
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:45,200
Speaker 1: actually tried to take Cyril down a couple times. I

1437
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,760
Speaker 1: think one Cerrill, we'll get to it. People are saying

1438
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:49,439
Speaker 1: he poked him in the eye when he was yes,

1439
01:06:49,480 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: his hand happened to hit Tom in the face because

1440
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,919
Speaker 1: he was framing, which is something that's very normal in MMA,

1441
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 1: and there's really no way to get rid of it

1442
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,040
Speaker 1: unless you want guys to walk around with closed fists

1443
01:06:59,040 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 1: and if'sticass, but boxing gloves on him and call yourself

1444
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 1: the markets of Queensberry or moy Tie or kickboxing or

1445
01:07:04,200 --> 01:07:06,920
Speaker 1: whatever else. This is MMA. The gloves are open. We're

1446
01:07:06,920 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 1: gonna have the debate in a second. Another time, Cyril

1447
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: did a great job of again getting his hands lower,

1448
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: getting his level lower, getting his underhook, not letting Tom

1449
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 1: take him down, shutting him off, and circling. This was

1450
01:07:17,200 --> 01:07:20,760
Speaker 1: a better Surrell God than you had seen against Allegander Volkofs.

1451
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,439
Speaker 1: Clearly he was more prepared. Clearly he was better versed

1452
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: than his takedown defense. And also again it's a different scenario,

1453
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:30,560
Speaker 1: but hear me out. Tom aspinall as an offensive wrestler

1454
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 1: isn't as good as John Jones is. And again I

1455
01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,000
Speaker 1: don't mean this to be a Tom versus John comparison,

1456
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: but it should show you how good John Jones is

1457
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: with his timing, with his level change, with the understanding

1458
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: of the body lock. They were two completely different takedowns.

1459
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Tom tried to athletically kind of get into his double leg.

1460
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,400
Speaker 1: John slipped outside of the left hand, got to the

1461
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,800
Speaker 1: body lock, and then a trip. But still it shows

1462
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 1: you a bit more of the setup and execution of

1463
01:07:53,760 --> 01:07:56,959
Speaker 1: John Jones and his takedown versus Tom Aspinall. I'm gonna

1464
01:07:56,960 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: be athletic now. And it didn't work the same way

1465
01:07:59,720 --> 01:08:01,920
Speaker 1: because it's not the same setup and it takes a

1466
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 1: little bit more nuanced and technique and timing in an opportunity, right,

1467
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 1: Cyril didn't overextend and give Tom the opportunity, so he

1468
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:13,120
Speaker 1: shot anyway, work that way. I'm hyping Cyril up here

1469
01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:14,760
Speaker 1: because I thought he did a really good job in

1470
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 1: this first round. I thought he was winning the first round.

1471
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,599
Speaker 1: But again, this was not some dominant first round. Tom

1472
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: Aspinall not just had moments. He was feeling his way

1473
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,160
Speaker 1: into this fight. He was getting himself back into the

1474
01:08:26,200 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: groove of his thing. Again. He's been out for freaking

1475
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 1: what two years. This is a terrible situation. More So

1476
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:34,000
Speaker 1: for tom Aspinall, when we get into the eyepoke and

1477
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 1: everything else, this is way worse for him because he's

1478
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 1: been out for two years. He gets four minutes in

1479
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:41,160
Speaker 1: the cage, he's gonna be out for another extended period.

1480
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't get a win, doesn't get the reps, doesn't get

1481
01:08:43,400 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 1: the experience that he is missing out on so badly.

1482
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,639
Speaker 1: And you saw some of that, especially early in the fight.

1483
01:08:48,680 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 1: He was tagged, the head was on the center line.

1484
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:53,000
Speaker 1: He wasn't able to make Cyril miss as much and

1485
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: make him pay, but he was able to without making

1486
01:08:55,600 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 1: Hi miss sometimes make him pay. He was able to

1487
01:08:57,760 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 1: sneak the right hand through. He caught Soyrilla with a

1488
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 1: couple good right hands upstairs. In fact, he was the

1489
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:05,679
Speaker 1: more dominant puncher upstairs. The head strikes went to tom Aspinall.

1490
01:09:05,680 --> 01:09:07,479
Speaker 1: As we take a look at the numbers, this is

1491
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:10,200
Speaker 1: why I say it wasn't a dominant fight in the

1492
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:12,720
Speaker 1: first round towards Cereal. God, he was winning the first

1493
01:09:12,760 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: round in my opinion, but it wasn't some domination bulldozing.

1494
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:17,360
Speaker 1: Look at Tom He's a fraud type of thing. Sorel

1495
01:09:17,400 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 1: added three more punches, or I should say strikes and

1496
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Tom Aspinall did in the first round, and the way

1497
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 1: it breaks down is Aspinall went to the head more

1498
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: fourteen to twenty five. Cyril was eight of sixteen. To

1499
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: the body, Cerrill was nine of eleven, Tom was five

1500
01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,120
Speaker 1: or six. And to the legs, Tom was eight of

1501
01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: eight and Sorill was thirteen of thirteen. Again, a close

1502
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,720
Speaker 1: first round that was showing the way this fight was

1503
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 1: probably gonna play out, was gonna be a bit more technical,

1504
01:09:41,280 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: was gonna be a bit more strategic, was going to

1505
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:46,160
Speaker 1: have to be utilized in adjustments, and that's what you

1506
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,040
Speaker 1: wanted to see from Tom Aspinall and Cyril Goud. For Cyril,

1507
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: he'd come off a stretch of oh man, you know

1508
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:55,640
Speaker 1: the not great performance versus Volkov, and you know the

1509
01:09:55,760 --> 01:09:58,600
Speaker 1: John Jones performance and he's dropped by tight to Avasa

1510
01:09:58,680 --> 01:10:00,679
Speaker 1: and he comes off a close fight with answers in Ghanu.

1511
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,360
Speaker 1: You wanted to see him get back to those those

1512
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, dynamic ways when he was a bit younger.

1513
01:10:06,200 --> 01:10:08,639
Speaker 1: So both guys, we're having their moments. This was shaping

1514
01:10:08,720 --> 01:10:10,639
Speaker 1: up to be a good one. And then we get

1515
01:10:10,680 --> 01:10:14,360
Speaker 1: to the ipoke. The moment in question happens. I don't

1516
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 1: remember the time, probably about twenty five seconds left in

1517
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: the round. They're both in the center of the octagon.

1518
01:10:19,560 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: There's an exchange where Syrill goes back foot out of

1519
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 1: southpaw bodykick and he doesn't quite commit to it, and

1520
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Tom at the same time wants to throw his left hook,

1521
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,320
Speaker 1: so he steps in to throw his left hook. He

1522
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:32,960
Speaker 1: kind of leans in as he throws it, and Syrilla

1523
01:10:33,040 --> 01:10:36,080
Speaker 1: God throws the bodykick, but also as he throws his bodykick,

1524
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,920
Speaker 1: he wants to post with his backhand right because he's

1525
01:10:38,920 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 1: coming out of southwall. Here comes the left kick. He's

1526
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 1: gonna post with his backhand because he's put himself out there,

1527
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,720
Speaker 1: hasn't quite committed to it, and now you have to

1528
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:50,160
Speaker 1: find a way to frame use that post and get

1529
01:10:50,200 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: back out of range right now. When that happens, he

1530
01:10:52,840 --> 01:10:56,800
Speaker 1: not only gets one, he gets both of tom Aspinall's eyes,

1531
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:00,519
Speaker 1: gets his fingers directly into the eyes, and both Tom's

1532
01:11:00,560 --> 01:11:02,599
Speaker 1: eyes are kind of closed. Luckily, I think for him,

1533
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: if they were open, he probably, I mean definitely would

1534
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 1: have scratched a corny or something. It would have been

1535
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,760
Speaker 1: some sort of abrasion. He may still have that I

1536
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: haven't had an update on what's going on with Tom

1537
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:13,680
Speaker 1: Aspinall's eyeball when that happens, and here's where the controversy

1538
01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 1: comes into play. He also is pushing right, He's he

1539
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:18,880
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna try to explain this in a way

1540
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:20,600
Speaker 1: that's I'm biased. So just just bear with me if

1541
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,040
Speaker 1: you can. Sorel gets him and it's a bad eyepoke.

1542
01:11:23,080 --> 01:11:24,920
Speaker 1: We can look at it here, so you can see

1543
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:29,639
Speaker 1: here Syril has his middle and index finger in Tom's

1544
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,439
Speaker 1: eye for sure, no doubt about it. He's in the

1545
01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:33,559
Speaker 1: eyes now, as people are going to say on the internet,

1546
01:11:33,880 --> 01:11:37,240
Speaker 1: digs in, which is not what happens. He's trying, first off,

1547
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: to post. You see the hand come in. He's not

1548
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:44,680
Speaker 1: fingers outstretched purposely. I'm going to stab you in the

1549
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,439
Speaker 1: eyes now, Captain Insano style. That's not what's happening. He's

1550
01:11:47,479 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 1: trying to post with his palm. The problem is he

1551
01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:54,280
Speaker 1: doesn't get his post. Instead, he gets under Tom's chin.

1552
01:11:54,320 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 1: And when you happen to go from there to under

1553
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,120
Speaker 1: the chin, look where the eyes can go. The finger

1554
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:03,080
Speaker 1: are going to go into the eyeballs. That's just a

1555
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: natural thing that's gonna happen when you press away. And

1556
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: also there's no one really framing like this. You know,

1557
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: no one really frames this way when they're fighting. It

1558
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,160
Speaker 1: is mostly here and your hands are naturally in a

1559
01:12:15,200 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: C shape to catch and parry. So yes, if he's posting,

1560
01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:22,679
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a little bit of that still there.

1561
01:12:22,720 --> 01:12:26,719
Speaker 1: So again boom into the eyes. Not great, one hundred percent.

1562
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: Tom gets poked here and again they go deeper into

1563
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,240
Speaker 1: the eyes. But this is not in my opinion, this

1564
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:35,439
Speaker 1: is not because of a purposeful dig and rake. This

1565
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:37,759
Speaker 1: is because I need to get out of range because

1566
01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:39,960
Speaker 1: you've gotten too close and I'm trying to push and

1567
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,400
Speaker 1: catch my frame in my posts right. But again it's

1568
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: not great. And honestly, the one on the left of

1569
01:12:46,479 --> 01:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Tom's body looks like it gets the worst end of it,

1570
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:50,680
Speaker 1: But it's actually the one on Tom's right that I

1571
01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 1: think he ends up being more worried about, which is crazy. Now,

1572
01:12:54,840 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: this is why I say it's not on purpose or

1573
01:12:57,120 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 1: anything else. The things I've already told you on to

1574
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,000
Speaker 1: tip of the fact that Cyril is winning the fight

1575
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: at least on paper, he's winning the round, he has

1576
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:08,200
Speaker 1: no reason to purposely poke Tom in the eyeballs and

1577
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 1: risk the fight being called off when he's winning the round,

1578
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,439
Speaker 1: when he's having success. That doesn't make any sense to me.

1579
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,519
Speaker 1: But also when his hands leave Tom's face, you don't

1580
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 1: see a raking. You see them coming down the center

1581
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:24,600
Speaker 1: of his face. You don't see them digging and scratching.

1582
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:27,840
Speaker 1: You see them coming down the center of his face.

1583
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 1: Now again, when we look at Tom in the post

1584
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,760
Speaker 1: fight interview, he is holding a rag up to his

1585
01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: ride eye and squinting with his right eye. So the

1586
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:39,960
Speaker 1: middle finger must have gotten Tom worse. And this is

1587
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 1: where the I want to dispel a lot of the

1588
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:45,040
Speaker 1: narrative stuff. I don't think that Cyril did this on purpose.

1589
01:13:45,160 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: I think that again he's using a post much like

1590
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,360
Speaker 1: I've been linked to the picture of him trying to

1591
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:51,599
Speaker 1: stop Tom's takedown and let me see if I can

1592
01:13:51,640 --> 01:13:53,360
Speaker 1: find it really quickly. So I mean, this isn't a

1593
01:13:53,360 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 1: great picture, But this is again a situation where Gon

1594
01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: gets caught in an orthodox stance and Tom levels you

1595
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,320
Speaker 1: and just doesn't really fully commit to the takedown here,

1596
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 1: but he level changes in reaches like he's gonna take

1597
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 1: him down, maybe to come upstairs with something. And God

1598
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 1: thinking a strike is coming, answers the phone with his

1599
01:14:09,160 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 1: backhand and looks to post again with his lead hand,

1600
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: which is something that is taught so normally in boxing

1601
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 1: and kick boxing and in most combat sports, is a

1602
01:14:21,040 --> 01:14:24,879
Speaker 1: long guard, especially in MMA where you don't have boxing

1603
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:26,519
Speaker 1: gloves to be able to just sit here in a

1604
01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: high guard. A long guard will save you a lot

1605
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:31,880
Speaker 1: of the time where you can go out and catch

1606
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 1: stuff before it gets to you. And this is what

1607
01:14:34,040 --> 01:14:36,160
Speaker 1: a lot of MMA fighters do when you see them

1608
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 1: trying to catch kicks and swipe away, or you see

1609
01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:40,920
Speaker 1: them again with a long guard that tries to catch

1610
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 1: punches on the arm versus let me just do my

1611
01:14:42,960 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: high guard and hope these four ouncers can take a

1612
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: fucking two hundred and sixty pound man's right hand. It's

1613
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 1: not gonna work. So when I saw people saying he's

1614
01:14:50,280 --> 01:14:52,720
Speaker 1: in doing this intentionally, it makes me think that a

1615
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 1: lot of the MMA community doesn't actually understand fighting. They

1616
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: just understand narrative. They just understand conspiracy, and that's not

1617
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: what happened, at least again in my opinion. So no,

1618
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 1: I don't think Cyril did this on purpose. He is

1619
01:15:04,320 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: at fault because he did poke tom Aspinall. And here's

1620
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: the thing that made me the most mad is people

1621
01:15:09,120 --> 01:15:12,800
Speaker 1: saying tom Aspinall quit right, because I've defended Cyril. I

1622
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,760
Speaker 1: don't think he did it on purpose. It's still his

1623
01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:16,280
Speaker 1: fault because he did it, but I don't think he

1624
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: did it on purpose, which is why the fight was

1625
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 1: a no contest. One because enough time in fighting hadn't

1626
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:23,800
Speaker 1: happened yet, and two there wasn't a definitive declaration of

1627
01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 1: like intent behind the iPod. But the thing that made

1628
01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:29,519
Speaker 1: me more mad was seeing everyone say tom Aspinall quit.

1629
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: Tom Aspinall was looking for a way out. He couldn't

1630
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 1: now out athletic Cyrill. He was getting busted up, he

1631
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 1: was getting dominated, so he needed a way out of there.

1632
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:39,600
Speaker 1: Are you fucking kidding me? Just as bad as this

1633
01:15:39,720 --> 01:15:43,080
Speaker 1: conspiracy of Cyrill is such a dirty fighter? How dare

1634
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: he he did this on purpose? What a piece of shit?

1635
01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,919
Speaker 1: The people on the other side of this. Tom Aspinall,

1636
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 1: after two years off, came into this fight with every

1637
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 1: opportunity in front of him. You win, you get either

1638
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 1: Alex Pereira or you get John Jones at the White House.

1639
01:15:56,720 --> 01:15:59,240
Speaker 1: That's the guy you think quit after everything that he

1640
01:15:59,320 --> 01:16:01,120
Speaker 1: had to go through just to get a fight. He

1641
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: quit in the biggest moment of his career. Get the

1642
01:16:03,080 --> 01:16:04,679
Speaker 1: fuck out of here. And by the way, I said

1643
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,400
Speaker 1: this same thing when Henry Shuto was called a quitter

1644
01:16:07,800 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 1: by a lot of people online on YouTube and people

1645
01:16:11,160 --> 01:16:13,840
Speaker 1: in the comments called him a fucking quitter when he

1646
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: didn't want to continue after getting double poked in his

1647
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: eyes and saying he couldn't see ham Asmanal did the

1648
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,320
Speaker 1: same here, and all of a sudden it seems to

1649
01:16:21,320 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 1: happen again. You guys can't do this kind of stuff,

1650
01:16:24,800 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: calling fighters quitters because they've been blinded in an eye

1651
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: or two. Not how it goes. Man Tom tells the

1652
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,559
Speaker 1: the outside physician he can't see. What is he supposed

1653
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,160
Speaker 1: to do? Fight with no vision, fight with one eye

1654
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 1: compromised when a foul has occurred. I don't think that's

1655
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: the answer. I think Tom was well within his right

1656
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:44,120
Speaker 1: to not fight here, and he's absolutely not a quitter.

1657
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:46,240
Speaker 1: I even saw Jell's son and say, oh, you sometimes

1658
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:47,760
Speaker 1: you have to fight with one eye. Yeah, if you

1659
01:16:47,800 --> 01:16:50,439
Speaker 1: get punched in the eye, that makes sense. When Anthony

1660
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 1: Smith and Chell are like, oh, you know it looked

1661
01:16:52,240 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: like Tom didn't want to be in there. I've quit before,

1662
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: and I know. I was like, if you get punched

1663
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 1: in the eye and it's not a foul, and yeah,

1664
01:16:58,120 --> 01:17:00,559
Speaker 1: you gotta keep fighting on, but if you get fingers

1665
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:04,080
Speaker 1: into your eyeballs and it's a clear foul, you don't

1666
01:17:04,080 --> 01:17:06,599
Speaker 1: have to keep fighting, and you shouldn't keep fighting because

1667
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:08,719
Speaker 1: what is that doesn't matter if you're the heavyweight champion

1668
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: of the world. There isn't some code that comes with

1669
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: heavyweight championships that says you must fight through injury because

1670
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:17,000
Speaker 1: of foul. You want to represent your belt for sure,

1671
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:19,000
Speaker 1: and yes it's a tough man sport, but you want

1672
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: to do that under a fair rule set and under

1673
01:17:20,840 --> 01:17:22,840
Speaker 1: a fair fight. And again, I'm not saying Sorel did

1674
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: it on purpose, but he was going to be at

1675
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 1: an inherent disadvantage because of a foul and he couldn't see.

1676
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 1: How do we expect him to do anything else? I

1677
01:17:29,080 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 1: have no problem when Tom aspinall saying I'm not continuing,

1678
01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 1: I can't see, which I don't think he said I'm

1679
01:17:34,400 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 1: not continuing. He just kept saying I can't see, which

1680
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 1: is essentially him being like, I can't fight. I can't see.

1681
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:40,840
Speaker 1: It's a terrible look for this fight. I mean, yeah,

1682
01:17:40,960 --> 01:17:43,479
Speaker 1: this was the big moment for the heavyweight division to

1683
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:47,040
Speaker 1: finally get going again and not just be so stagnant

1684
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,519
Speaker 1: and held up. And John doesn't want to fight, or

1685
01:17:49,560 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: maybe he does, and now he doesn't, and he's retired,

1686
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:55,120
Speaker 1: maybe he'll come back, and then you have again Tom

1687
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 1: defending an interim belt in the same challengers, the Cerro,

1688
01:17:58,520 --> 01:18:03,000
Speaker 1: the Alexander Volkovs type of guys being in that top scene.

1689
01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: You need to get the cogs and the wheels out

1690
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,479
Speaker 1: and get it going again. And this just didn't help things.

1691
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,000
Speaker 1: This is for the UFC. This is the worst thing

1692
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: that could have happened in this fight, Like you had

1693
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: really two scenarios. You had Cyril gon wins and John

1694
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: Jones in the mind of himself and maybe the fan

1695
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:22,320
Speaker 1: of the UFC that goes see Tom should have never

1696
01:18:22,320 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 1: fought this Tom Aspenall guy because he was never on

1697
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,040
Speaker 1: that level. I don't believe that, but people would have

1698
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,960
Speaker 1: said that had serial one, because again one plus one

1699
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,240
Speaker 1: doesn't equal to in this sport. If Tom Aspenall wins,

1700
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:33,000
Speaker 1: you have your next great heavyweight and you can have

1701
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:34,800
Speaker 1: him challenge John at the White House, or you can

1702
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,000
Speaker 1: have him challenge Alex Pereira, who, by the way, was

1703
01:18:37,080 --> 01:18:39,280
Speaker 1: watching this fight and when it went to the no contest,

1704
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:41,240
Speaker 1: he kind of threw his hands up like and that

1705
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:45,200
Speaker 1: was kind of the feeling like, ah, there goes another opportunity. Man. Again,

1706
01:18:45,240 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 1: it's not just people on the internet that are like

1707
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 1: accusing tom of like quitting or not wanting to fight.

1708
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 1: Is Dana White. And this video told me a lot

1709
01:18:53,200 --> 01:18:55,680
Speaker 1: about how Dana White looks at Tom aspinall listen at

1710
01:18:55,680 --> 01:18:58,240
Speaker 1: this great showing.

1711
01:18:58,280 --> 01:19:04,679
Speaker 2: You know, after the Jones fight, a lot of people wrote,

1712
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,080
Speaker 2: Cyril gone off, he look damn good tonight.

1713
01:19:07,120 --> 01:19:08,599
Speaker 1: Would you like to just read book these guys as

1714
01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,160
Speaker 1: soon as Tommy is able to get By the way,

1715
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 1: I agree with Dana on that part one thousand percent.

1716
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: The MMA community kind of, well, the Tom aspinall super

1717
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: die hard fans kind of boxed themselves into a corner

1718
01:19:19,760 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: because on one hand they said that John Jones beating

1719
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 1: Cyril Gon was not a great win and that John

1720
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: was washed up and over the hill, but on the

1721
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 1: other said that tom was gonna also smoke Cyril Gon,

1722
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: so if he didn't do it. They kind of put

1723
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:32,720
Speaker 1: themselves in this position where, uh, well, if the old

1724
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 1: man John Jones got it done in under two minutes

1725
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and your boy couldn't get it done, let's essay, right, Like,

1726
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 1: they kind of played into exactly what John Jones wanted

1727
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:42,719
Speaker 1: them to do, and by doing that, underestimated how good

1728
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,280
Speaker 1: Cyril Gon is with purely his striking, and if he

1729
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: got better with his takedown defense, how he would potentially

1730
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 1: be a problem. And he was again my opinion, he

1731
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: was winning this fight. It would have been a very

1732
01:19:53,400 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: interesting second third, four to fifth. But Tom was gonna

1733
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 1: have to make adjustments and so was Cyril. But this

1734
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,200
Speaker 1: is two years off. How was Tom gonna I do,

1735
01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 1: not only making adjustments, but also with the gas tank

1736
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,439
Speaker 1: and not being his explode. There was a lot of

1737
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,679
Speaker 1: things that play here. So I agree with Dana there.

1738
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:10,439
Speaker 2: Back in the Yeah, total pain in the ass. But yes,

1739
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,439
Speaker 2: as soon as possible, it's unfortunate that it ended the

1740
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:16,000
Speaker 2: way that it did. And yes, I think that there

1741
01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,519
Speaker 2: probably will be a lot more interest in the rematch

1742
01:20:18,640 --> 01:20:20,719
Speaker 2: after they saw you know, I mean he had Tom

1743
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 2: bloodied up, and uh, you know, Tom didn't want to

1744
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:31,879
Speaker 2: continue in the fight, so the rematch is very interesting.

1745
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:35,320
Speaker 1: That's a very very specific way of warding things from

1746
01:20:35,439 --> 01:20:38,519
Speaker 1: Dana White. Tom didn't want to continue the fight. Now again,

1747
01:20:38,640 --> 01:20:41,720
Speaker 1: I think Dana White might hate Tom Asmall. I think

1748
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 1: he might hate him, and I think there's a couple

1749
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,559
Speaker 1: of reasons for it. So here is the interview from

1750
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:50,439
Speaker 1: TNT Sports Box Office, Dana White sitting down and he's

1751
01:20:50,479 --> 01:20:54,240
Speaker 1: asked about what tom Asmanal said about his friend Anti Delijah,

1752
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 1: who I think is ranked number ten right now in

1753
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:59,160
Speaker 1: the UFC, and essentially he was like, I Am not

1754
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: going to fight him if he were to ever fight

1755
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:02,280
Speaker 1: for the bell. Isn't it this? This is I think

1756
01:21:02,320 --> 01:21:04,400
Speaker 1: part of why Dana White again, I think he hates

1757
01:21:04,439 --> 01:21:05,360
Speaker 1: tom Asital He's.

1758
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,599
Speaker 3: Already said that the guy that's currently ranked number ten

1759
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:11,240
Speaker 3: is his friend Anti de Elijah, and he would vacate

1760
01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,680
Speaker 3: the title if Delaja got to a point where he

1761
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 3: was going to fight for the title.

1762
01:21:16,320 --> 01:21:19,080
Speaker 4: So my friend and training partner's just got to the USC.

1763
01:21:19,360 --> 01:21:21,960
Speaker 4: So like he's potentially like two or three wins away

1764
01:21:21,960 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 4: from like a title shot. So the thing is, if

1765
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 4: I didn't, if I'd never won a title, I'd never

1766
01:21:26,240 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 4: touched gold before I was like, we would have to

1767
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:30,479
Speaker 4: fight and I've done it. I would be like, I'll

1768
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 4: vacate it and he can have his time.

1769
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 3: Firstly, what do you think about that?

1770
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:34,920
Speaker 2: You know what I think about that?

1771
01:21:37,040 --> 01:21:37,680
Speaker 1: I hate that.

1772
01:21:37,960 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 2: You know, many friends, relatives, name it, have all fought

1773
01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:46,439
Speaker 2: each other before. You know, it doesn't determine whether you

1774
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 2: are friends with somebody or you hate somebody. You're competing

1775
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 2: against them to see who the best is. But that's

1776
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 2: his decision. You know, to even think about vacating it

1777
01:21:57,360 --> 01:22:01,280
Speaker 2: because you don't want to compete against somebody is absolutely insane.

1778
01:22:01,320 --> 01:22:05,200
Speaker 1: But he's a grown man. That's up to him. Okay,

1779
01:22:05,400 --> 01:22:08,000
Speaker 1: that's number one. That's strike one, Strike two. Obviously, as

1780
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: the Dana White does believe at John Jones is the

1781
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:13,959
Speaker 1: greatest of all time and obviously you know this probably

1782
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 1: certified that today in But also there was the uh

1783
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:21,200
Speaker 1: interview from tom Asminall's dad that came out. It wasn't

1784
01:22:21,240 --> 01:22:23,599
Speaker 1: really an interview, kind of a backstage thing before the fight,

1785
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,040
Speaker 1: talking about tom Aspenall's future plans that are probably not

1786
01:22:27,080 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 1: going to be with the UFC. You said that you

1787
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:30,599
Speaker 1: wanted a box some champions off.

1788
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:32,760
Speaker 3: You're okay with an MMA champion, but you wanted a

1789
01:22:32,760 --> 01:22:34,400
Speaker 3: box some champion boxing for ship.

1790
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 1: Money, money, more money? Why know would that would that

1791
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:40,120
Speaker 1: be an outcome for it?

1792
01:22:40,320 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 3: No, he's three more fights on the contract night. Okay,

1793
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:45,639
Speaker 3: so I don't want to sign a new comfort Okay,

1794
01:22:45,760 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 3: personally so not good.

1795
01:22:47,439 --> 01:22:50,439
Speaker 1: Again, it's not necessarily a bad thing to have future

1796
01:22:50,479 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: plans or whatever, but it's like, uh, probably shouldn't be

1797
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: talking about that when you're the heavyweight champion of the

1798
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:57,720
Speaker 1: world out in public a four your title defenses. That,

1799
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:01,560
Speaker 1: combined with this performance, combined with Dana is probably already

1800
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,639
Speaker 1: slight bias against Tom is making for a terrible situation

1801
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 1: for Tom. Aspinall because this isn't the worst thing that

1802
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:09,679
Speaker 1: could have happened to Tom. He could have gotten knocked out,

1803
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:12,160
Speaker 1: flat out cold, and it would have been even worse.

1804
01:23:12,200 --> 01:23:14,240
Speaker 1: But this is not good when the boss thinks of

1805
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:17,000
Speaker 1: you like that, especially when the boss determines what happens next.

1806
01:23:17,000 --> 01:23:18,720
Speaker 1: But I think Dana's wrong. I think he's wrong for

1807
01:23:19,280 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: going after Tom. And again I think those were pointed

1808
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: words on purpose, like saying he didn't want to fight

1809
01:23:24,320 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: versus he couldn't fight, versus he couldn't see like whatever

1810
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:28,640
Speaker 1: you wanted to say. Dana could have easily come to

1811
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:30,760
Speaker 1: his defense there, and he chose not to. I think

1812
01:23:30,800 --> 01:23:33,320
Speaker 1: that was on purpose. Now, with all of that being said,

1813
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:36,560
Speaker 1: that was also asked about Tom's condition, and here was

1814
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:40,639
Speaker 1: d C after the fight talking about what he had heard.

1815
01:23:40,720 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 1: He's there in Abu Dhabi. This is what he had

1816
01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,480
Speaker 1: to say. I saw Tom aspinall.

1817
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,600
Speaker 5: His right eye is covered in a bandage because he

1818
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:51,439
Speaker 5: cannot open it.

1819
01:23:51,560 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 1: Still we're twenty minutes past the fight ending.

1820
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 5: And what's crazy about that is his other eye was

1821
01:23:58,439 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 5: the one where his hand.

1822
01:23:59,800 --> 01:24:00,800
Speaker 1: Went knuckle deep.

1823
01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,519
Speaker 5: The right side was scraped down more the left side

1824
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 5: was the one that went knuckle deep and really would

1825
01:24:08,160 --> 01:24:09,960
Speaker 5: have been hard to deal with if not for the

1826
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,840
Speaker 5: paint he was seen on the other side. Tom was

1827
01:24:11,920 --> 01:24:14,439
Speaker 5: very upset that people were booing, and then people saw

1828
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 5: the replaying, We're like, wait a minute, maybe we should

1829
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 5: be buing the other guy.

1830
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:19,920
Speaker 1: Then they boot Cyril gun. Interestingly enough, I wonder what

1831
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:23,880
Speaker 1: is worse, right, I mean, going into someone's eye like in,

1832
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: there's gotta be worse, you would think because of the

1833
01:24:26,240 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: structural damage it can cause. But raking against you know,

1834
01:24:30,040 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 1: the the the eyeball, the iris probably would do more

1835
01:24:33,439 --> 01:24:35,280
Speaker 1: damage in the in the in the short term with

1836
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:37,880
Speaker 1: the burning and the cut and whatever else that could

1837
01:24:37,880 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 1: get in there. So I mean either way, again, I'm

1838
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 1: still of the full belief that Tom Aspinall could not fight.

1839
01:24:43,040 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 1: And it's like I said, it's an unfortunate thing. But

1840
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,160
Speaker 1: here's the silver lining. I say all that to say this,

1841
01:24:48,320 --> 01:24:51,519
Speaker 1: here's the silver lining. Tom Aspinall and Syrill gon get

1842
01:24:51,560 --> 01:24:53,600
Speaker 1: another shot at this, and like Dana White said, he

1843
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,599
Speaker 1: kind of snuck it in there. There will be more

1844
01:24:55,680 --> 01:24:58,760
Speaker 1: interest and intrigue in this rematch now. And I think

1845
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 1: you do have to do it right away. I don't

1846
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 1: think you can sit on this and give it time

1847
01:25:02,439 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 1: and oh well see, maybe we don't. Maybe No, I

1848
01:25:06,200 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: think this is the time because you already have another

1849
01:25:09,160 --> 01:25:11,080
Speaker 1: fight lined up at heavyweight, one that I think is

1850
01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:13,759
Speaker 1: the right fight to do at heavyweight that doesn't involve

1851
01:25:13,840 --> 01:25:16,879
Speaker 1: Tom Aspenall or Surrill. God, I think you do this rematch.

1852
01:25:16,960 --> 01:25:20,000
Speaker 1: I think both guys have an opportunity with more eyes

1853
01:25:20,120 --> 01:25:23,040
Speaker 1: no pun intended on their rematch to put on a

1854
01:25:23,040 --> 01:25:25,160
Speaker 1: great performance. And how about this. The last time Tom

1855
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: Aspinall got into a situation with the knee injury, with

1856
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 1: Curtis blades, what happened in the comeback fight. He absolutely

1857
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,200
Speaker 1: smoked Curtis. So he has an opportunity now, with a

1858
01:25:33,240 --> 01:25:37,800
Speaker 1: little bit of in octagon experience recently, to get this thing,

1859
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:40,719
Speaker 1: hopefully his eyes Okay, get this thing turned around quickly,

1860
01:25:40,840 --> 01:25:43,559
Speaker 1: hopefully by the end of the year. Maybe a December fight,

1861
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: who knows, depending on how long the eye takes the heel.

1862
01:25:45,840 --> 01:25:48,120
Speaker 1: Maybe January Paramount card I don't know. But you get

1863
01:25:48,160 --> 01:25:50,840
Speaker 1: to go in and you get to try this again

1864
01:25:50,880 --> 01:25:53,160
Speaker 1: and learn from that first round. There's still a lot

1865
01:25:53,200 --> 01:25:55,280
Speaker 1: to learn from both guys in that first round. Tom

1866
01:25:55,320 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 1: maybe he knew Cyril was going to be that difficult

1867
01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,280
Speaker 1: to deal with early on, and he was pacing himself

1868
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 1: and that's how a second fight would go anyway. But

1869
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:03,400
Speaker 1: you can still take some stuff away. Okay, I got here,

1870
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:05,559
Speaker 1: I got hit here. Maybe I can do something different.

1871
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 1: I got stuffed on this takedown. Why is that? And

1872
01:26:07,560 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: for surreal? Okay, he hit me with a couple of

1873
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: right hands. I felt his power. Is there something else

1874
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:14,080
Speaker 1: I can do to mitigate that? Can I be better

1875
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:17,200
Speaker 1: with my hand placement or whatever? It is? Not poking

1876
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,559
Speaker 1: and you know, framing a different way. Again. I think

1877
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 1: it was completely accidental. I'm just saying, you get to

1878
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 1: download information and come back. But while that's going on,

1879
01:26:25,280 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: and while you're planning for the next big heavyweight fight,

1880
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 1: you have that one set in. The rematch now gets

1881
01:26:30,439 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 1: pushed back and it gives time for what I think

1882
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:35,799
Speaker 1: is the right fight at heavyweight, for a John Jones return.

1883
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 1: It's John Jones and Alex Berrera, it is. And John

1884
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,600
Speaker 1: had this to say on Twitter. First off, this is

1885
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,600
Speaker 1: a little petty, but John Jones is known to be

1886
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:47,479
Speaker 1: a little petty. After the guys that either he fights

1887
01:26:47,600 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 1: or he is supposed to fight, go out and don't

1888
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 1: have the greatest performance, he says, you know, I told

1889
01:26:52,320 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: you once again. It's kind of the Connor McGregor effect.

1890
01:26:54,840 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 1: After the fight ends, here come the Twitter fingers. He

1891
01:26:57,400 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: put an eyepatch over the duck emoji which he was

1892
01:27:00,840 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: being called a duck for not fighting Tom aspinall there

1893
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 1: you go. But then he tweeted and he said, Alex,

1894
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,680
Speaker 1: I'd be down to bring the highest skill level to

1895
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 1: the White House. I appreciate the respect you showed lest

1896
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 1: dance again A little shot there at Tom aspinall with

1897
01:27:15,080 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 1: the highest skill level. Essentially, John is saying, Alex Perera,

1898
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:21,040
Speaker 1: you're the guy I want, and Pereira said the same thing.

1899
01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:23,760
Speaker 1: He posted a video watching this go down, and it says,

1900
01:27:23,800 --> 01:27:26,800
Speaker 1: let's make the heavyweight division great again with the Pootons,

1901
01:27:26,880 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: stoneface emoji and the bones Jones at the White House.

1902
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 1: So they're on the same page. They're pushing for the

1903
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,080
Speaker 1: same thing. I like the fight. I'm sorry. I know

1904
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,680
Speaker 1: you guys don't, and you think that Tom should be

1905
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,759
Speaker 1: the rightful I don't know, flag bear for the heavyweight division.

1906
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: He should be the one taking on Pereira as he

1907
01:27:43,160 --> 01:27:44,840
Speaker 1: moves to heavyweight for the three belts, or should be

1908
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: the one taking on Jones because that was his fight.

1909
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 1: But here's the problem. When you go to a no

1910
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:52,360
Speaker 1: contest like this, you can't leave that story unfinished. Tom

1911
01:27:52,400 --> 01:27:55,320
Speaker 1: and Cyril have to run this back because Cyril was

1912
01:27:55,360 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: winning the fight and Tom was still there and he

1913
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,559
Speaker 1: was still close and it was a good back and forth.

1914
01:28:00,600 --> 01:28:02,400
Speaker 1: But he's the champ, so he's got to go and

1915
01:28:02,439 --> 01:28:04,400
Speaker 1: finish that now. And even if he is going to

1916
01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:07,760
Speaker 1: do it in January February, you could book this for

1917
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: June summertime Tom fights the winner at the end of

1918
01:28:11,000 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: next year or whatever. I don't know, but I just

1919
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 1: think this is the way you do it, and it's

1920
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:17,240
Speaker 1: It made sense when they were first talking about John

1921
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:19,960
Speaker 1: versus Alex Pereira, and it makes sense now. So yeah,

1922
01:28:19,960 --> 01:28:21,960
Speaker 1: I know that's a long winded way of saying. Listen,

1923
01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,879
Speaker 1: you're going to see a lot of narrative on MMA YouTube,

1924
01:28:25,920 --> 01:28:28,160
Speaker 1: and it's going to be built on emotion, and it's

1925
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:30,320
Speaker 1: going to be built on bias, and it's going to

1926
01:28:30,400 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 1: be built on once and frustration and despair. But the

1927
01:28:34,760 --> 01:28:38,920
Speaker 1: reality of this fight is simply there was an awful,

1928
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:42,680
Speaker 1: unfortunate mistake from Syrill. God that happens when fighting with

1929
01:28:42,800 --> 01:28:46,439
Speaker 1: open hand gloves. The ipokes are not just exclusive to Cyrill,

1930
01:28:46,479 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 1: They're not just exclusive to John Jones. It happens, and

1931
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: it happens a lot in MMA. People act like it

1932
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: doesn't but it does. And until the UFC do a

1933
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:56,479
Speaker 1: Trevor Whitman hybrid glove that makes the fingers bend in

1934
01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:58,960
Speaker 1: and even when you're framing there's that cover over them

1935
01:28:59,040 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: or the Pride glove eyebrid something you're always gonna run

1936
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: into this. It's just a matter of fact, until you

1937
01:29:04,520 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 1: or you make guys try to do their frames like this,

1938
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:09,759
Speaker 1: which is nonsensical. Guys are gonna fight loose, their hands

1939
01:29:09,760 --> 01:29:12,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be here, They're naturally in that c shape. Anyway,

1940
01:29:12,360 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: it's just a reality of fighting. It sucks, but that's

1941
01:29:14,880 --> 01:29:17,760
Speaker 1: the sport. If you want closed fists, watch boxing, Muay

1942
01:29:17,760 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 1: tire kickboxing. If you want free hand movement for posts

1943
01:29:21,280 --> 01:29:24,440
Speaker 1: and grabs and risk control and under hooks and overhooks,

1944
01:29:24,439 --> 01:29:27,559
Speaker 1: you're gonna get hands free. That's how it's gonna be.

1945
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: But that's the reality of this, is it. It's a

1946
01:29:29,720 --> 01:29:33,479
Speaker 1: massive mistake. It's yes, technically the fault of surreal God

1947
01:29:33,520 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: for having his hands go into the eyes of tom aspinall,

1948
01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:38,640
Speaker 1: but it was not intentional, and a no contest is

1949
01:29:38,680 --> 01:29:40,840
Speaker 1: the right call. There was no mal intent. No matter

1950
01:29:40,880 --> 01:29:43,679
Speaker 1: how many conspiracies and arrows and circles you're gonna see

1951
01:29:44,040 --> 01:29:46,839
Speaker 1: on people's YouTube videos, it's just the reality of fighting.

1952
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:49,920
Speaker 1: Things like this happen. It really fucking sucks. But the

1953
01:29:49,960 --> 01:29:53,360
Speaker 1: only three words that matter are run it back, do

1954
01:29:53,479 --> 01:29:57,160
Speaker 1: it soon, and we can move past this anyway, real

1955
01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,280
Speaker 1: quick wrap up before we get out of here. Vernie

1956
01:29:59,320 --> 01:30:02,240
Speaker 1: Yonderoba versus Mackenzie Dern. I'm happy for Mackenzie Durn. The

1957
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: fight wasn't the greatest thing in the world, but you

1958
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:07,000
Speaker 1: know what, Mackenzie Dern gets her championships. She is the

1959
01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:10,200
Speaker 1: new strawweight world champion in the UFC. Good back and forth.

1960
01:30:10,600 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was worthy of the komain, but

1961
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 1: it's a championship fight, so fair play. Mackenzie Durn gets

1962
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 1: the victory. Umar and Mcgametov versus Mario Bautista. Baltista almost

1963
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 1: stopped him, hit him with a knee on a high

1964
01:30:21,640 --> 01:30:24,439
Speaker 1: kick and almost stopped Umar. I will say this, I

1965
01:30:24,560 --> 01:30:27,360
Speaker 1: was ready before this fight started. I was ready to

1966
01:30:27,400 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 1: say Umar next title shot. Things could be different this

1967
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,280
Speaker 1: time around versus Mirob and maybe they still can be

1968
01:30:33,280 --> 01:30:35,000
Speaker 1: because Umar has a ton of variety and he's a

1969
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 1: great wrestler and he's a great striker. But what I

1970
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:40,040
Speaker 1: saw here was a tired Umar, a guy that if

1971
01:30:40,040 --> 01:30:42,439
Speaker 1: this is a five round fight with Marob again, is

1972
01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,719
Speaker 1: going to get tired again. And Morob is just a machine.

1973
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:47,840
Speaker 1: I did not see even with this victory, and it

1974
01:30:47,880 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 1: was a very good win because Mario Bautista is a motherfucker.

1975
01:30:50,439 --> 01:30:52,880
Speaker 1: I didn't see enough to make me change my mind

1976
01:30:52,920 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 1: that if they rematch, I'm still picking Morob because that

1977
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:59,360
Speaker 1: guy doesn't have any fatigue in him. It doesn't show it.

1978
01:30:59,439 --> 01:31:02,240
Speaker 1: His fights don't slow down. He is just a machine.

1979
01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:05,120
Speaker 1: Still have to make the fight happen. But I thought

1980
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:07,920
Speaker 1: i'd see more out of umar He, Alexander Volkov and

1981
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:11,559
Speaker 1: Jildson Almeeda. This one was fun because Almeda essentially did

1982
01:31:11,560 --> 01:31:15,599
Speaker 1: the recent Almeida style fight where it's the lay and prey.

1983
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:18,679
Speaker 1: You know, he lands a takedown, there's not much action,

1984
01:31:19,080 --> 01:31:22,320
Speaker 1: he controls you and then the round ends, go again

1985
01:31:22,400 --> 01:31:24,920
Speaker 1: and then again, except this time Alexander Volkov, even with

1986
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,040
Speaker 1: the most minimal striking from the bottom, I mean literally

1987
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,720
Speaker 1: laying on his back and throwing baby hammer fists, that

1988
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:32,840
Speaker 1: was enough to win this fight. And you know it

1989
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,559
Speaker 1: was more than that, but you get those were the

1990
01:31:34,560 --> 01:31:37,559
Speaker 1: difference makers. Off his back, he was landing elbows, hammer fist.

1991
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:39,599
Speaker 1: When they stood up, he was landing. He's in the clinch.

1992
01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:41,720
Speaker 1: And there was not a ton of action in this fight.

1993
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:44,400
Speaker 1: There just wasn't. But the action and the damage, if

1994
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:47,000
Speaker 1: there was any, was coming from Alexander Volkov. And he

1995
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:50,280
Speaker 1: wins a split decision whilst being controlled for damn near

1996
01:31:50,320 --> 01:31:53,400
Speaker 1: most of the fight. Good for him after the cerrill

1997
01:31:53,479 --> 01:31:56,960
Speaker 1: Gon robbery, he gets one back, so good for volkov Man.

1998
01:31:57,520 --> 01:32:02,719
Speaker 1: Azamon Murza Khana with a jazz knocks out Alexander Racket

1999
01:32:02,840 --> 01:32:05,360
Speaker 1: in the first round of their fight. It was insane

2000
01:32:05,360 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: to see. That was a massive win. He remains undefeated,

2001
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:13,080
Speaker 1: uh directly jumping into the top echelon of light heavyweight.

2002
01:32:13,120 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 1: I couldn't even believe he knocked him out with a

2003
01:32:15,120 --> 01:32:18,120
Speaker 1: step in like power, stiff jab. He even retracted a

2004
01:32:18,160 --> 01:32:22,080
Speaker 1: punch just and that was a shock to me. But hey,

2005
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:25,320
Speaker 1: Murza Khanoff is fucking for real. I'm super pumped to

2006
01:32:25,320 --> 01:32:27,640
Speaker 1: see him next. My my unsung hero and one of

2007
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 1: the nastiest, cleanest head kicks I've ever seen. Quillin sal killed.

2008
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:35,120
Speaker 1: Who is this guy? I know I'm the casual concept,

2009
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:36,840
Speaker 1: but I want to see more of him. He knocked

2010
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: out Nazaaq hack Pressed with a headkick that was picture perfect,

2011
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,920
Speaker 1: and thank god nazaraat is okay. He laid their face

2012
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: down on the floor twitching for like two minutes. It

2013
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:51,400
Speaker 1: was nasty. I want to see Quilling a lot more.

2014
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: His name is Sal killed and he damn near Sal

2015
01:32:54,200 --> 01:32:57,800
Speaker 1: killed a man, dude, Walter Walker, with another heel hook

2016
01:32:57,880 --> 01:33:00,960
Speaker 1: in the first round. That's fucking crazy. But yeah, good fight,

2017
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:05,120
Speaker 1: good card, Terrible ending for the UFC, but a silver

2018
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: lining for both Tom Aspenall and surreal God, if everybody

2019
01:33:08,520 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 1: is healthy and we can turn this thing around quickly.

2020
01:33:10,560 --> 01:33:13,160
Speaker 1: Learned a little bit about each other. Yes it was unfortunate,

2021
01:33:13,240 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 1: Yes it fucking sucks, but learned a little bit about

2022
01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:19,000
Speaker 1: each other. What happens in the rematch? I don't have

2023
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:22,000
Speaker 1: those answers, but I guess we'll find out
