Speaker 1: career out of this on YouTube. But you put us together. Yeah, right,

26
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,440

00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: coach Littori to your Mike Perry.

28
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: If you will, you're you're pregnant with my child. I

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: don't know how that works exactly, but I will say

30
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: it's just not the same when you're not here. Quite literally.

31
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: Obviously you're not here, but that doesn't make it the same.

32
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: But we can't do what we normally do if the

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 2: dynamic duo ain't together. So I'm happy to have you back.

34
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,919
Speaker 2: Did you did you count how many lbs you packed

35
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 2: on on vacation? No judging, just usually I use it

36
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: as a barometer for how good of a time you had.

37
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's my boss. Karen Portley would say, put on

38
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of shelving, you know what I mean?

39
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: So to speak, a couple extra handles going on here.

40
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm an a cup at this point, but I'm

41
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: going to get back That peloton is coming in thirty days,

42
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,520

44
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: in the tradition of the MK here Luke, but we

00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,960

46
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: at look at that.

47
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: Handsome Is that a Chinese finger trap?

48
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: No? No, that's that's tip on tip, Luke. Okay, we

49
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: are representing what we bring to the table here at

50
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: morning Combat.

51
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: I'm going to tell you it's slightly weird that you

52
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 2: and your little one are doing this, but I know

53
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: you mean it in good good faith, so.

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like, look, it's the fist pump of twenty twenty, right,

55
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: it's actually COVID conscious, if you will, doctor Luke FOUTI.

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 2: Okay, you're on fire already, all right with that in mind, BC,

57
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 2: I know you were on vacation, but I know you

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: did your homework. We have a lot of combat sports

59
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: action to get to. So without further ado, Oh what

00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,720

72
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: Right and without further ado. Now, ladies and gentlemen, let's

73
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 2: get to the topics at hand. All right, up, first,

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: let's talk about it in UFC. I think Vegas five,

75
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 2: is that what we're calling at something like that? Derek

76
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: Brunson absolutely brings the hype train of Edmund Shabazi into

77
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: a screeching halt. I think in third round TKO, But

78
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: really you could have called it at the end of

79
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 2: the second. We'll talk about that stoppage in just a

80
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: second BC, but please, sir, go first, what is the

81
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 2: right answer? Was Shabazian overrated or was Derek Brunson overlooked.

82
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with Derek Brunson overlooked. The more you

83
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: hear his story, and by the way, shout out to

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 1: the Wesley Snight's Demolition Man meets Cisco the Thong song

85
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 1: haircut there for old dB. But look at thirty six,

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: it was easy to write him off. We'd seen Derek

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: Brunson lose to the very elite that this sport had

88
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: to offer. I hadn't personally, though, Luke been following his

89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 1: story of joining Sanford MMA, being down there with Henry Hooft,

90
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: getting that personal attention and finding a coach who believed

91
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: in him late in his career. They said it on

92
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 1: the broadcast. Henry Hoof looked at him and said, you

93
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: are not a gatekeeper. You can be someone. You can

94
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: be a contender again and three to zero. The proof

95
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 1: is in the put in, as Floyd Mayweather would say.

96
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: But you saw a complete performance out there, Luke. I

97
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: do have to tip my hat pour one out for

98
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: my Armenian homies, including yourself and Edmund Tarverdian. A extreme

99
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: lack of head movement, if you will, Yeah, too much,

100
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: too soon, A lot of that for a guy in

101
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: Shabazien who's had largely just first round finishes, hadn't stepped

102
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: up to this level. But I don't hate him for

103
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: what he did here, Luke, because fortune does favor the bold. Yes,

104
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: everyone's trying to be the youngest champion ever, the John

105
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: Jones and maybe this was the equivalent of John Jones

106
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: going in there against a Bonner or even a Ryan Bader.

107
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: John Jones was extra, next level special. He was able

108
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: to pass that test. I don't think it's trained off

109
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: the tracks for Shabazien that he wasn't right. We saw

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 1: some bad things, he ran out of gas. We all

111
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: saw some good things in there. I think the story

112
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: of this fight was that we cannot write off Derek

113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 1: Brunson as just a gatekeeper. He mixed the wrestling with

114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the smart striking with the gas tank and Luke. At

115
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: the end of the day, for Derek Brunston, I think

116
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: it was that game that allowed him to absorb those

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: heavy blows and keep on coming.

118
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a total veteran performance. I mean, we

119
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: have seen now Shabazi and Go pass the first round

120
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: in his UFC career twice, and both of those times

121
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: he kind of gassed. He gassed him the third round

122
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 2: against Darren Stewart and he didn't supergas here, but he

123
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: did not have I would call, you know, serviceable cardio

124
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: for the task at hand. Now, you could have written

125
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: off the Darren Stewart one because I think that was

126
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: his UFC debut, not County Contender series, so his actual

127
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: UFC debut, And he wrestled a lot in that fight,

128
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 2: if you recall, because he didn't really want to go

129
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: toe to toe with the dentist. So, okay, first time

130
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,159
Speaker 2: out in UFC, you wrestled a lot. Maybe your cardio

131
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 2: is not going to be the best. And granted, it's

132
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: not like he's had a ton of time in the

133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 2: gauge since then. His other fights all add up to

134
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 2: still less than a round, so you could sort of

135
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: understand that they just didn't have enough experience. I think

136
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: you're right. This will be a really big wake up

137
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 2: call for him. He's just twenty one years old. But

138
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 2: to answer the question here, this to me was certainly

139
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 2: Derek Brunson being overlooked. I will raise my hand and

140
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 2: say I overlook Derek Brunson. I got it wrong. I

141
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: kind of thought shabaziing was gonna go in there and

142
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: do what he'd been doing. And I'm not one of

143
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: these guys who typically believes in these dudes who come

144
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 2: out and say I've got eleven fights, ten first round finishes.

145
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: You see them come up from the regional cards and

146
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: you're like, Okay, you're obviously talented, and you obviously hit hard.

147
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: You just haven't fought the right guys. And then he

148
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: fought Brad Tavares, and I thought, okay, well, if you

149
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 2: get rid of Brad Tavares faster than out of Soignia,

150
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 2: you must be doing something right. But the reality is

151
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: as good as that performance was, and it was a

152
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: legitimate win, no doubt about it. You just have to

153
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: see all the different looks a division and contenders can

154
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 2: give you, because that's when you figure out somebody's weakness.

155
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 2: And the rule in the UFC is it does not

156
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: matter how good you are, somebody's eventually going to put

157
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 2: it on you, and how do you respond when you do.

158
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,880
Speaker 2: He responded, like a rookie, That's okay, that's going to happen.

159
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: He kind of is a rookie. BC. Let me just

160
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: make this more real quickly, so to answer the question

161
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 2: was to your point, Brunson totally over overlooked, no doubt

162
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: about it. I am guilty of that one thousand percent.

163
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: We also have to dial back a little bit on

164
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: some of the expectations of Shabazi, and when he's in

165
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: control and coming forward and he's got a good rhythm going,

166
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 2: he's hard to beat. But Brunson took all of those

167
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 2: things away. He brought the volume down, He constantly interrupted him,

168
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: made the takedowns really counting. By the way, do you

169
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: know us how he was taking cross side wrist and

170
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 2: he gets the same side wrist, and he was doing

171
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: all the Daugustani handcuff stuff and then passing to mount

172
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 2: like Shamayev and then hitting the ground and pound. He

173
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 2: was something of a reborn fighter in a way. And

174
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 2: to the commentator's point, b see, part of the reason

175
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 2: why we overlooked Brunson was because all of the errors

176
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 2: that he had made he moved away from. Now this

177
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: was a wake up call, I think on both ends.

178
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: Yeah. Look, look, we love to see when somebody that

179
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,520
Speaker 1: we know has great talent finally puts it together. And

180
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: let's be honest, go back and watch the Derek Brunson

181
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 1: fight with Robert Whitakery falling an asshole, Luke. He came

182
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: out guns blazing and then just poured his his skill

183
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: set all over the canvas and tried to get an

184
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 1: early knockout and got finished. This was such an opposite

185
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: of that. There was such maturity and growth. And to

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,679
Speaker 1: the point about Shabazi, I like, you just don't know

187
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: what You don't know until you get in there and

188
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: find it out. Right. We used to have like a

189
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: Mendoza line in the party days, Luke. Remember in their

190
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: early twenties, right, sit around, get high. There were some

191
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: dudes you know, Oh you get high? Yeah? I get

192
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: how okay?

193
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 2: Yo?

194
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: Can you think you can smoke? Well? Step up to

195
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,560
Speaker 1: the full sink hit right, We're gonna fill the top

196
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 1: with water. Step up to that level, Luke. I've seen

197
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: dudes take one hit and pass out in front of

198
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,680
Speaker 1: me on the floor. The deep end of the pool

199
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: is exactly that. Some people have it. Some people need

200
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 1: to build up to it. I don't crap on Shabasi

201
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: in for this, But is there a dark side of

202
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: your heart, Luke? Let me answer that question. Yes, But

203
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: is there a dark side of your heart that takes

204
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: a little bit of pleasure seeing Ronda Rousey getting el here?

205
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm gonna put it to you, honestly, isn't.

206
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: No, well, okay, no, I mean, here's the thing. I

207
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 2: just don't even care that if it was two o

208
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: seven and she was acting like totally unprofessional in the

209
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: way that she was, then it would be a thing.

210
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: But she's been gone for a while. Not everyone is

211
00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: designed to be living in the public eye. Pretty clearly,

212
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 2: she's not built for that kind of thing. And as

213
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned, BC, Shabazian is Armenian, which means I'm going

214
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 2: to be unfair in my praise of him and by

215
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 2: expectations as well. So I don't like seeing Armenians take l's.

216
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 2: But you know, listen, as I mentioned Derek Brunson very much,

217
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 2: you're deserving win her veteran performance. And you know what's

218
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 2: kind of funny. Bec last thing on this I went

219
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 2: but through it. There was a couple of times he

220
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: started exchanging with Shabazi in a little bit and he

221
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 2: got caught a few times. Yes, but he centered himself,

222
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 2: he stopped, he regrouped. It was not just a veteran performance.

223
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: BC or hit one of his better ones. It was

224
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: really smart. The only thing be seen. Here's my other

225
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 2: question for you on this. This was one of those

226
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: fights where we're like, Wow, okay, we really did not

227
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,840
Speaker 2: give Derek Brunson his due guilty is charged. On the

228
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: other hand, I don't know exactly what his next move is.

229
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: I didn't no name popped out to me as like, ooh,

230
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 2: we got to match him up with that guy next.

231
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 2: Maybe someone did for you.

232
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,559
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him against the al Romero.

233
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: Boy. You are certainly a sadist. Or maybe I'm underrating

234
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: underestimating him again, I don't know. Nothing really occurred to

235
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: me as like a super awesome, exciting matchup. But that's

236
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 2: not the that's not the worst one.

237
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: All right, all right, Luke, can we comment quickly on

238
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: two things? One you must have missed me because I

239
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: think we need a BC counter for Luke, now how

240
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: many times you said my name? But two, can we

241
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 1: at least talk about the haircut. I mean, it looks

242
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's a little bit too high and tight

243
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: for my taste. But is that was the Did the

244
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: wife get down on that? Yeah?

245
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: It was choppy. The wife did it. She did it yesterday.

246
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: But you know what, she's getting better at it. And

247
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 2: these are free ninety nine BC. And you know, with

248
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: my spending habitsucks.

249
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, shout out to the wife. Good on the plow,

250
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: good with the scissors. Very happy for you.

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 2: So let's talk about that stoppage really quickly. At the

252
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 2: end of the second round, you had Brunson moved to

253
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: mount pounding on Shabazi in laying him flat. If you

254
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 2: actually go back and watch MEC, you'll actually see Herb Dean.

255
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 2: He's not very demonstrative with it, but he does do this.

256
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 2: He does wave it off a little bit. Now he

257
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 2: doesn't like do it like a normal one, but he

258
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 2: kind of moved his hand, which I've never seen referees

259
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 2: do between rounds. And then he lets Shabazi and get

260
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: up and walk over. Third round starts and he literally

261
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: offers nothing. He doesn't punch back, he doesn't defend a takedown.

262
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: And then Herb Dean intervened very quickly. There. I don't

263
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: have a problem if it was gonna go to the

264
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: third in the way that he stopped it there. The

265
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 2: question is should he have stopped it at the end

266
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 2: of the second.

267
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: He could have, but I say no, he shouldn't have.

268
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: Can we get this Herb Dean slander off my timeline

269
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 1: for the past couple weeks? I had to come on

270
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: from vacation and watch two UFC cards back to back

271
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: in Luke. I don't know how you responded this because

272
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: I don't watch the morning combat elements that don't involve

273
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: me selfishly enough, but Dan Hardy and Paul Felder, I

274
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: thought we're completely out of line in their response to

275
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: that fight a week ago, and I thought in this situation,

276
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: Herbdean handled it perfectly. Do you want to give any criticism?

277
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: And Dana White did after the fact. May have been

278
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 1: that doctor giving Shabazi in too much time before that

279
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 1: started round three? Are you okay? Are you okay? Are

280
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: you sure you do have to make those split decisions

281
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 1: on the dime and not give any advantages. Could you

282
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,960
Speaker 1: have stopped it at the end of round two? Yes,

283
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 1: I don't hate that he didn't. I do like to

284
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: be safer than sorry. I also like to keep combat

285
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: sports what they are and as long as you're somewhat

286
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: intelligently still there, give you a chance to recover, give

287
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: you a chance to do things. There's a gray area,

288
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 1: there's a sweet spot, and I think Herbdean has been

289
00:13:48,720 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: operating within that sweet spot for a while now. And

290
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 1: I'm more than happy with it.

291
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I really disagree with your assessment from Fight Island,

292
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: but I will say for this one, I don't hate

293
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 2: what happened. In fact, if you want to say that

294
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 2: Dean was late, you have to really spread the blame.

295
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: You could say he was late and should have stopped

296
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: it earlier. Doctor let it rock and uh Shabazian's corner

297
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: didn't intervene. So if there's a failing there, let's assume

298
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: that there is, for just the sake of argument. It

299
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 2: ain't just Herb Dean's. There's a lot of hands in

300
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 2: that one that easily could have pulled the plug and didn't. Also,

301
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 2: to your point, was it an obvious thing that he

302
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: should have stopped? You know, to some believe that it was.

303
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:31,880
Speaker 2: For me, I think it's a very difficult call. And

304
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: the fact that he brought in the doctor and that

305
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 2: the doctor had a chance to look at it, and

306
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 2: then he immediately intervened at the end of the third.

307
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 2: If you want to get on Herb Dean for bad stoppages,

308
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: this one, to me would not be at the top

309
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 2: of that list. He would puffa cut this somewhere very low. Huh.

310
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:49,840
Speaker 1: Jay's in our Cochlee eye, but he can stay back

311
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: because the two reasons. One, at the end of the

312
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: second round, Herb Dean gave Edmund a long look into

313
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: Shabazian's credit. After initially just sort of sitting and sulking,

314
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: he realized, I gotta lift myself off the canvas or

315
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: this fight will be stopped. So that was key for Herb.

316
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: And then number two, if we were all a little

317
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: bit unsure at the start of round three what shabazi

318
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: and still had or if he still wanted to be

319
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: there the second he showed you he didn't, Herb jumped in.

320
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: So I have really no problem with that at all.

321
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: And Luke, you know, just quickly back to last week.

322
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 1: I don't want you to rehash the whole argument, but

323
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: I mean, the dude got dropped by Tronaldo, but he

324
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: looked to be there for a second, so Herb gave

325
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: him a chance. Not only do I think that stoppage

326
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: was fine, but I actually, for once I'm going to

327
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,000
Speaker 1: side with Dana. What are these announcers doing jumping up

328
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 1: and sort of getting involved there. It wasn't one of

329
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: those egregious situations.

330
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 2: How are you able to get a driver's license being

331
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: this blind.

332
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: Oh well yeah, I mean really really luke he got

333
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: did you see his look when he got dropped. I

334
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: know it was a little bit of a messy, delayed knockdown,

335
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 1: but you know he looked like he was still in

336
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: there and had a chance. He also may have been

337
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: winning the fight at that point.

338
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: Well, here's here's the last thing. I'll say this because

339
00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 2: Jay is going to have a conniption fit if we

340
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: don't move along. It's that if you're defending Dean for

341
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: last Saturday, this one with the Shabazi and Brunson fight,

342
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: I think you can find legitimate room to do that,

343
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 2: but the reasons for why you would do that don't

344
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 2: allow you to defend from Fight Island other than being

345
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 2: inconsistent in being some kind of Herb Dean fan, which

346
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: you should just admit, because the steps that he took

347
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,520
Speaker 2: in this one were much more concerted, much more aggressive.

348
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: He had a shorter window in which to make a decision,

349
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 2: and he leaned on some degree of caution there with

350
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 2: this one standing over him. I don't know what Dean

351
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 2: did or didn't see that. There's some video and photos

352
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 2: where looks like Herbert's eyes on all there, but it's

353
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 2: hard to know exactly, which is why I think you

354
00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: have to temper some of that criticism. But once the

355
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 2: first punch goes through utterly unobstructed, he doesn't scramble, he

356
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: doesn't move, he doesn't get up, you have to intervene.

357
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 2: Toronaldo landed three more after the first one. There just

358
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 2: wasn't enough earthency on that. Whether Dan Hardy should be

359
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 2: screaming or not, it's sort of a weird situation to debate,

360
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: but that that's an example of a decent stoppage. I don't.

361
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 2: I don't think that it is.

362
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: And I'm not here to go against Dan Hardy. His

363
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,040
Speaker 1: girlfriend's real hot, so shout out to him on there.

364
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 2: I think she's a fighter too, right.

365
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Veronica Macedo.

366
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: Yes, we'll come back to the Calderwood thing, but we

367
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 2: got to move along because we got to get to

368
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 2: some bigger topics PC. So let's move on to number

369
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: two if we can. Showtime was back baby at the

370
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 2: mohegan Son. They were back for their first card since

371
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 2: the essentially the what beginning of the pandemic and Angelo

372
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:39,159
Speaker 2: Leo taking on Tremaine Williams, Angelo Leo winning what do

373
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: you want to say if you see something of a

374
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 2: runaway fight, a little bit of trouble early, depending on

375
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: where you want to call it. I had Williams winning.

376
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: I want to say the first three rounds. I thought

377
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,960
Speaker 2: round four was where the tempo and everything began to turn.

378
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 2: He picks up that junior featherweight to one hundred and

379
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 2: twenty two pounds. Looks like he's still going to fight

380
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,360
Speaker 2: Stephen Fulton Junior, who obviously was out because of COVID.

381
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 2: What's a big takeaway from this fight?

382
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: The big takeaway is really the storyline that I thought

383
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: the showtime crew echoed so well that one hundred and

384
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: twenty two pounds. You know, Farhead nailed this. Historically, we

385
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: don't really get into that division unless there's a big

386
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: star of Manny Pacio Leo Santa Cruz pack passing through.

387
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,399
Speaker 1: It has been a while since the Barrera Morales days,

388
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: this weight division has largely been dominated by foreign fighters

389
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: who aren't always on US TV. Now we got this

390
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: group of US base guys all under the PBC banner,

391
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 1: so it's fun to see this, just as it was

392
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: fun to see Angelo Leo really step forward and make

393
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 1: this fight his own, not the right situation fighting a

394
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: guy last minute adjusting now to a south pause fourth

395
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: in the last seven fights, but his early fight adjustment,

396
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: as you mentioned, I had at three rounds to nothing

397
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: for Tremaine Williams, who good god, I mean they mentioned

398
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 1: Parnell Whitaker. As much as you don't want to make

399
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: those kind of comparisons, he looked brilliant early on. To

400
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: see Leo take that, make that adjustment and walk him

401
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: down to the body that aggressively. Now you're excited for

402
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: some business at this division. And Stephen Fulton Junior, cool

403
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,199
Speaker 1: boy Steph who has you know, a marketable side to him,

404
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 1: can talk, can both box and brawl if he has

405
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: to the fact that we now have a road to

406
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: that fight. We got Brandon figuerere or lingering around with

407
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: a title under the PBC banner. We've got you know,

408
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 1: a Liam on the undercard who looked fantastic as well,

409
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: who was originally supposed to face Tremaine Williams. Now we've

410
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,159
Speaker 1: got some players, some storylines to connect to. So this

411
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 1: was a good night overall and a pretty good salvage

412
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: of what could have been disastrous for the very impressive

413
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: launch of Showtime Fights to close twenty twenty that we celebrated.

414
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 1: Maybe this fight didn't on paper have the star power

415
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: of the others. Then to lose that biggest star certainly,

416
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, could have heard it. But the fights were

417
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,240
Speaker 1: well done, the COVID was handled well, and we got

418
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,159
Speaker 1: some people to care about. I don't know if Angelo

419
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 1: Leo is a killer. I like the story back line

420
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: of sleeping in his car, getting promoted by Floyd Mayweather,

421
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: all that, but he is an exciting fighter. That was

422
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:57,200
Speaker 1: a good fight.

423
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 2: He certainly is a couple of notes here about from Albuquerque,

424
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 2: New Mexico. You know, I think he's the most recent

425
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 2: champion in boxing from Albuquerque since who Holly Holm? Right,

426
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 2: I mean, it's something to consider there. So Albuquerque is

427
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: still a place of champions both in MMA and boxing.

428
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 2: To your point, this actually for me all eyes on

429
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 2: the Fulton fight, I gotta tell you, it makes it

430
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: a lot more exciting. Williams was a sturdy challenge in

431
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: the end, he couldn't figure out once Leo was able

432
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 2: to go to the body and get inside and then

433
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 2: just rough them up. His workweight was really really high.

434
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: He was much more comfortable there but to your point,

435
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 2: making those adjustments at the very last, when did when

436
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 2: did Fulton fall out? Like a couple of days before, Yeah, Wednesday.

437
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: So Leo a very young fighter now is only at

438
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,720
Speaker 2: his twentieth fight. This was his twentieth fight. Making the adjustments.

439
00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 2: Williams didn't back down, made it kind of tough. Took

440
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 2: the all three of the first rounds. In my book,

441
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 2: all the Farhood had it for just the first two.

442
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: I just thought this was one of those things where

443
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 2: it's like, not only was this great experience for Leo,

444
00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 2: it made makes the Fulton fight whenever they're able to

445
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: get around to it. And I guess the WBO is

446
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: going to set that up so within one hundred and

447
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: eighty days of the fight, probably sooner. I suspect it

448
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 2: makes it way more exciting. Fulton to me is a

449
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 2: way better fighter than Williams, but also a bit of

450
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 2: a different fighter, and the maturity and sort of the

451
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 2: also just kind of the blood and guts that Leo

452
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 2: showed to get this decision win. It makes what was

453
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: going to be that layoversus Fulton fight redone much more

454
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 2: exciting the second time around. And also because Leo now

455
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 2: holds that one hundred and twenty two pound title. I

456
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 2: have to say, well, you're gonna get to it later.

457
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: Knock out of the year to start that Showtime card.

458
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 2: For all intents and purposes, boxing has not had a

459
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: lot of luck on the top rank side. They haven't

460
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: had the best cards, but even some of their better

461
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 2: fighters have fallen out from COVID or they got delayed,

462
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,959
Speaker 2: like MICHAELA. Mayer, right, so she'd be able to perform,

463
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: but not on the timeline she was supposed to here

464
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: Showtime's first card back and they lose arguably the biggest

465
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 2: star they had on that card. But I would say

466
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 2: in general, you can't really complain too much with what

467
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: you got, circumstances being what they are.

468
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can complain about Abner Marsi's pink hair, but

469
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: you know that's kind of trite and surface level there.

470
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 1: I just wanted to double down on at one point.

471
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: If you're an MMA fan not that big into boxing, Oh,

472
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 1: it's so disorganized it is. Oh, you know, we can't

473
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: see the best fight the best normally we can't. The

474
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 1: fact that within certain promotions that are tied to certain networks,

475
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 1: they're starting to put a lockdown on certain divisions right,

476
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: PBC has one twenty two, one fifty four, for example,

477
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 1: on Lockdown. You can tune into Showtime and Fox and

478
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: follow those storylines at the end of the day find

479
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: out who is the best fighter in the world in

480
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: those divisions. It sounds like something that should be natural, right,

481
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:47,880
Speaker 1: We want to see what the best is. It isn't

482
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: always in boxing, so we celebrate. It's a refreshing when

483
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: it actually is. And I think at one twenty two,

484
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, a year from now, we may have an idea. Actually,

485
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:55,960
Speaker 1: who's the best in the world?

486
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 2: Speaking of boxing, let's stick with it. They have signed,

487
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: it appears least. It has been reported that Errol Spence

488
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 2: and Danny Swift Garcia, whose last fight we covered against

489
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 2: Ivan Redcatch on Showtime, they are signed for a welterweight

490
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: bout later this year. How significant about is this helped

491
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 2: the MMA fans who are watching, or even the boxing

492
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: fans certainly understand what is the significance of this contest

493
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: and should it be a pay per view in the

494
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: way that it is being booked.

495
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a pay per view man event. It's a

496
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: huge fight. It's for two of the four recognized welterweight

497
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: titles and Danny Garcia a former champion, and I think

498
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 1: more importantly, coming off of the or within the COVID

499
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 1: quarantine right now, where we are not seeing those superstar

500
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 1: megafights outside of say Fury Wilder three. From a star

501
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 1: power value, this might be the biggest fight you'll see

502
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty and that, you know, that says a

503
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 1: lot here. And I think the fact that Errol Spence

504
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Junior had the unfortunate accident late last year, fresh off

505
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 1: of really you know, getting to the top of the

506
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,200
Speaker 1: powerful pound rankings and declaring himself as a two belt champion,

507
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: it adds so much more questions and actually makes about

508
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: much more intriguing. A lot of guys in Errol Spence's

509
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 1: spot would come back very soft in the boxing game, Luke.

510
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: He didn't want to do that. He wanted to go

511
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: in there against Danny Garcia, who I've been touting and

512
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: I think I believe this. I think he's the biggest

513
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: puncher in the welterweight division right now. From the standpoint

514
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,119
Speaker 1: of one punch, you give me one guy one punch

515
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: to get somebody out of there. I'm taking Danny Garcia's

516
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: left hook. So while on paper, Spence has certain advantages,

517
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 1: Garcia's always been underrated against the very elite. He's a

518
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: smart boxer, he works the angles well, controls distance, and

519
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: he has that out punch. If Errol Spence is not

520
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: one hundred percent mentally or physically coming off that near

521
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 1: death experience, this is the guy to expose that. It's

522
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: a high profile about cannot wait.

523
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,880
Speaker 2: Luke more than Keith Thurman. He's more of a one puncher,

524
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 2: that old one punch himself. Keith Thurman.

525
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, not only that the intention. Keith Thurman's

526
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: got power, he doesn't always use it right. He's felling

527
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: more in love with his boxing over time. Danny Garcia

528
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: is a guy who still tries to get you out

529
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: of their first then win a decision.

530
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: Also to your point, coming back like this after that

531
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: tragic or I wish that I should say near tragic

532
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 2: car wreck that he had, which we were told in

533
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: the end put him in the hospital, but only kind

534
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 2: of scarred up his face a little bit, and even

535
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 2: then not that bad. When you look at the footage

536
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 2: from that sort of outdoor cam that caught it. I

537
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: mean it could have been a total calamity, maiming, death,

538
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: God forbid, it could have been really bad. This is

539
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,160
Speaker 2: his first five back, and you're gonna take on Danny Garcia,

540
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,440
Speaker 2: who has been staying busy, staying fresh in as much

541
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: as a high level fighter like that can during these

542
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: pandemic times, that is that is certainly a tall order.

543
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 2: But if Spence is who we think he is and

544
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,880
Speaker 2: can retain the ability that he has shown, probably one

545
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: that he should take last, but not least be seeing

546
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 2: the world of boxing take his home on this one.

547
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 2: Eddie Hearn was back with Mattroom Boxing, putting a little

548
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,320
Speaker 2: egg and cheese together. Yes, I'm gonna make these dad jokes.

549
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,400
Speaker 2: I'll let you talk about the fight for just a second,

550
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 2: but can I talk about the atmosphere. First of all,

551
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: a nice house essentially a state that Eddie Hearn has.

552
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 2: But you know, it really brings up something that we

553
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: saw with UFC and Fight Island, which was Fight Island

554
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 2: was a success in virtually every way you could imagine it.

555
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 2: Most of the fights were able to get to fruition.

556
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 2: Nobody that we know caught COVID there. People were able

557
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: to get in, they were able to get out. Some

558
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 2: of the fights succeeded, some didn't, but in general, hey,

559
00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 2: UFC got what they were looking for out of that,

560
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 2: and probably then some certainly a big pay per view

561
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: return on UFC two fifty one. But it just looked

562
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: like any old arena. Now, Eddie Hearn doesn't have the

563
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 2: UFC's roster, and I'm not comparing him to that, but

564
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 2: I have to say, and I know you can't do

565
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 2: outdoor fighting in Abu Dhabi. I'm just pointing out some

566
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: promoters trying to make the situation look a little different

567
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: in these different times. I appreciated it. Your mileage may vary.

568
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: I thought it looked pretty cool.

569
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looked great. It looked elegant. It looked a

570
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 1: lot of things that you know Eddie Hearn does that's

571
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: different from US based promoters. The fact you know that. Look,

572
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 1: there are certain promoters Eddie Hern in England that the

573
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 1: folks in Germany. They make boxing not this like rough

574
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: and tumble sport with a questionable, you know, backbone to it.

575
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,479
Speaker 1: They make it this elegant affair where you dress up

576
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: and go out to it. I thought that was in

577
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: line with what we saw in this fight camp. This

578
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: was Hearn's old mansion now the match Room headquarters outside

579
00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: of London, and it was just a cool looking venue.

580
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: He rightfully loaded the card up, not with you know,

581
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: breakthrough names that are gonna that are gonna, you know,

582
00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 1: stop you in your tracks, but exciting fighters who go

583
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 1: after it. That's Sam Eggington ted Cheeseman. Main event was

584
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 1: exactly that, with Chiezman getting the win and that fun

585
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 1: junior middleweight bout. That's the best card we'll see for

586
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 1: a while. The next to Eddie Hernon fight cards are

587
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 1: a little bit of a step down. The fourth one though,

588
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: August twenty second on his own is that big one.

589
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna end up on his own. It's

590
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: not official yet, and that's the one where you've got

591
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 1: the uh the the heavyweight match, so Dillian White against

592
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: Alexander Povetkin and then the Katie Taylor rematch with Delphine Pursun.

593
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: That was one of the fights of the year last year.

594
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: But out to them for doing something a little bit

595
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: different on Saturday. It was fun to see in the afternoon.

596
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: You got your sweet Caroline fixed if you're into that,

597
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,320
Speaker 1: Luke and yeah, I'd like to see more people take

598
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 1: more chances and do more fun things while we have

599
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: this opportunity.

600
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 2: Yes, I cannot stand Sweet Caroline as a song. It's

601
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's just the worst, and people who

602
00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:21,240
Speaker 2: like it are the worst.

603
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: Those damn cheeky Brits. I know we got a lot

604
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: of brit fans because they always slide to my dms.

605
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: I love these passionate hardcores. Yes, a little bit late.

606
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: The UK is they're the kings of boxing these days.

607
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 1: I make no argument otherwise. But that song, it couldn't

608
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:36,920
Speaker 1: die fast enough. All right, With that in mind, let's

609
00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 1: move on back into MMA. So some news that broke

610
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: last week. At the end of last week, we haven't

611
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: a chance to talk about it yet.

612
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 2: It looks like we got another fight lined up at

613
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 2: middleweight and the winner might just get a title shot.

614
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 2: Former champion Robert Whitaker, fresh off of his win over

615
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 2: Darren Till is going to take on Jared Crystal Cannon

616
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 2: ear QAnon himself over there if you haven't checked out

617
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: his Twitter timeline. It is certainly something. In any event,

618
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,400
Speaker 2: it is a super interesting fight b scene. So the

619
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: question there is does the winner get a title shot?

620
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,480
Speaker 2: And who has the early edge? I don't know what

621
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 2: you saw from Robert Whittaker against Darren Till. I guess

622
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 2: you'll tell me just a second. For me, that performance

623
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: was what it should have been, not necessarily what it

624
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: ultimately could have been, which is not a knock exactly.

625
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: I just don't think what he showed you against Darren

626
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: Till was that some of the bigger concerns that were

627
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 2: laid at his doorstep about whether he was shopworn from

628
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 2: Joel Romero, about whether he could reinvent himself and be

629
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:38,040
Speaker 2: the person that we had seen before, I think most

630
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: of those were proven to be false alarms or at

631
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: least somewhat overstated. I did see a Robert Whittaker who

632
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: could take a shot. I saw Robert Whittick who could

633
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 2: take a shot, recenter himself, come back. I saw a

634
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 2: guy use the full array of his skills with his

635
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 2: wrestling sort of clock management when it was appropriate. It

636
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: was just a very very high level performance from him.

637
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 2: I did not see anything new. I did not see

638
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,479
Speaker 2: anything from him that was like, wow, he is really,

639
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 2: oh my god, he is this is this is totally awesome,

640
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 2: And maybe that was not the time to see it.

641
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: Maybe this was just about getting right, just about getting

642
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 2: back on track, just about centering himself given all the

643
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: challenges that he had been under. That's fine. I think

644
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 2: that's a completely reasonable thing. I'm not sure what he

645
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 2: has to show to beat cannoneer. Cannon here is one

646
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 2: of these guys who's like, the heavyweight thing wasn't right,

647
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 2: although he got some wins, the light heavyweight thing wasn't right,

648
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,320
Speaker 2: although he got some wins. At middleweight. He looks great,

649
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:34,240
Speaker 2: but the silver fight didn't tell us much that her

650
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: Manson did. I thought that was kind of interesting. But

651
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: her Manson is so completely different from Robert Whittaker. So

652
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:43,479
Speaker 2: while Whittaker, to me pushed away a lot of the

653
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: demons he's been dealing with and a lot of the

654
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 2: doubts that have been cast his way, I will still

655
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 2: favor him bec I will still say that I think

656
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 2: he's the guy to win this, and I think he

657
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 2: probably will get the title shot against the winner of

658
00:30:53,560 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 2: Atasanya and Costa. I just to me, Yeah, hold on,

659
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: Cannon here is a bit of a X factor here.

660
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: He's a little bit older, but he's capable of weirdness

661
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 2: in ways you don't expect.

662
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,920
Speaker 1: Sometimes, what is the timeline in terms of when the

663
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:15,000
Speaker 1: Costa Championship fight is and when this fight will be.

664
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 2: So Costa and ATASIGN you are supposed to lock horns

665
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: September nineteenth, and I think they want to do that

666
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 2: one before the end of the year, although that part

667
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:23,120
Speaker 2: I'm not entirely sure.

668
00:31:23,520 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: All Right, well, look, this was really smart matchmaking. In

669
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,240
Speaker 1: the end. You could have argued that either Whittaker or

670
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,040
Speaker 1: Cannoneer deserved the next title shot. But to make them

671
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: both sit and wait and have somebody taken in between

672
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: fight that doesn't lead them directly there. Why not just

673
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: have him fight each other? And that's what we're doing here.

674
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: So I love that. I really can't add anything more

675
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: than you said about Robert Whittaker because you nailed it.

676
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 1: Darren Till set the terms of that fight. It was

677
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 1: going to be a five ron chess match. He was

678
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: gonna do Darren Taill things, which means not throw enough

679
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: strikes and not give himself a great chance to win.

680
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: Yet Till did have his moments, and Whittaker answered every

681
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,239
Speaker 1: question he needed to about his chin, his backbone, his

682
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: fighting spear, all of those great things. I actually prefer

683
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 1: that he had to go out there and show us

684
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: everything that he's back, not what you said, show us

685
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,720
Speaker 1: you know, the new tricks in the bag. One more

686
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 1: stop to get back to that title picture. Yeah, let's

687
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: do this. I mean, look, you could have had it

688
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: off of that to win, but you want to see

689
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,440
Speaker 1: him have to beat somebody who's just as deserving, and

690
00:32:20,480 --> 00:32:22,800
Speaker 1: that's Cannon Near. This is a great fight on paper.

691
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: I think you have to favor Whittaker. He's the better

692
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,680
Speaker 1: fighter overall. I think he's the most well rounded middleweight

693
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: in the game today. And I can't wait, Luke, if

694
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: Robert Whittaker can get back to the title level, and

695
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 1: if it comes against ad Asanya, what that rematch could

696
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 1: look like, because as great of a crowning moment for Autasanya,

697
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: that he really is that great to become the champion

698
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: and knock out the former king and do it in

699
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: front of the home fans and all that. That wasn't

700
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: the Reaper, that wasn't the guy that night he got caught.

701
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,959
Speaker 1: I want to see him come back and have that

702
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 1: second chance, kind of like Yoanna did against Rose in

703
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,719
Speaker 1: that rematch. She didn't win it, but she gave it

704
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: all on the line. And shall you know everything she

705
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: had left in that tank. So this is great matchmaking.

706
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, look, we just said about boxing. It's like

707
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,959
Speaker 1: we get so excited when the guys in the division

708
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: are on the same side of the street they can

709
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 1: actually fight each other. This is almost an unnecessary fight

710
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: that we're making, and yet it makes perfect sense in

711
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 1: the title lineage to do that.

712
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 2: If Costa ends up winning against Attasanya, I fight against

713
00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: Robert Whitaker is interesting no matter what. But I guess

714
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: the thing I'm looking for in this canoneir fight, if

715
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 2: it's something that's even available, is he needs to show

716
00:33:29,720 --> 00:33:32,760
Speaker 2: me something that would lead me to believe a second

717
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:35,920
Speaker 2: fight with Attasanya would go differently in terms of the outcome,

718
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 2: which is to say at Asnya getting his hand raised,

719
00:33:38,800 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 2: finishing him in the second round. You know, I don't

720
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:42,360
Speaker 2: know dropping him in the first. That's not what I'm saying.

721
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 2: I think with the poise and the range of weapons

722
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 2: that he showed against Darren Till, a second fight with

723
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 2: Attasanya would be different, but I wouldn't lead me to

724
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 2: conclude that he would win. I would need to see

725
00:33:55,440 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 2: something against cannon Ear that would leave me to conclude

726
00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 2: that and I don't know how exactly he does that.

727
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 2: I guess we'll have to say what ultimately he shows

728
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 2: us or cannonear ends up being something that we don't

729
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: necessarily think him to be right now, and provides an

730
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 2: interesting style matchup for either Coasta or Atasania. Now speaking

731
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 2: of those two very quickly, BC, they're gonna fight in

732
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: that small cage. It's gonna be in the Apex facility.

733
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,479
Speaker 2: There was some concern or question. Rather I should say

734
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 2: that maybe this fight between Coast on Assignia might happen

735
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 2: in New Zealand because they can have fans, they could

736
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 2: have a gate. But if you fly over there, you

737
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 2: have to quarantine for fourteen days. It just seems like

738
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 2: a huge headache to just get people over there. So

739
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 2: screw it, They're gonna just bring them here. But that

740
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: means it's going to be in the small cage. Now,

741
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 2: I will cop BC to being a hypocrite, which is

742
00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 2: when they said that we're gonna go to Apex, I

743
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 2: was like, I love the small cage. And when they

744
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 2: announced a title fight, a third one between DC and Steepe,

745
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:45,040
Speaker 2: I was like, yes, third cage or sorry, that small cage.

746
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 2: It's going to force action. Well, now they're doing it,

747
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,239
Speaker 2: and I'm saying to myself, I don't know how good

748
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: of an idea this is. I don't know how bad

749
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: of an idea this is. All I'm saying, is BC,

750
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 2: if we were not in a pandemic, there might be

751
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,440
Speaker 2: a title fight that occasionally happens in the small cage.

752
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 2: But in Jai Funeral, it just wouldn't they be fighting

753
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 2: at Tea Mobile. They'd be fighting in Atlanta, they be

754
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 2: fighting in Chicago or wherever, and it would be the

755
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 2: big cage. And it carries a significant implication for this fight,

756
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 2: not just in terms of outcome but complexion. It gives

757
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 2: a much stronger advantage to Coaster that he would ordinarily have.

758
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,400
Speaker 2: So the question is, and I kind of answer this

759
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 2: one of my own YouTube channel previously, should they be

760
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 2: fighting in a small cage? Should UFC title fights all

761
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,280
Speaker 2: be in the big cage?

762
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,799
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going to go on the record and

763
00:35:31,840 --> 00:35:34,400
Speaker 1: say no, like you, I'm not against it. It's going

764
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: to be exciting. It adds a different element. Do I

765
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: think mma should be like baseball? Where you know some ballparks,

766
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 1: defence is huge or far away or close and all that. No,

767
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: I don't think there should be that variation. And I

768
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 1: think sometimes even in boxing, that gets in the way,

769
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:50,000
Speaker 1: right when the home fighter gets the smaller ring because

770
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 1: it favors him, or sometimes people complain about the surface

771
00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: of the ring and all that. I mean, there's some

772
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:57,759
Speaker 1: nonsense there. You want uniformity across the board. I can

773
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: justify it because of the potential for excitement and because

774
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 1: we're in the quarantine season. But wouldn't you think UFC

775
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: could be able to configure the apex and just put

776
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,799
Speaker 1: the larger one in Luke It is it does sort

777
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 1: of in a situation where it can favor a fighter

778
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 1: like it could potentially and cost a Yeah, it doesn't

779
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:16,399
Speaker 1: really make a ton of sense to do it that way.

780
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,400
Speaker 2: All right, Well, with that in mind, let's move on

781
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 2: to our fourth topic here before Jay has an aneurysm

782
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 2: in the back.

783
00:36:22,440 --> 00:36:24,040
Speaker 1: You know, I've been away a week. What is up

784
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,799
Speaker 1: with Jay? Right now?

785
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 2: He is with his loud ass air conditioner. Let's go

786
00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: to this one. Connor McGregor is out here just relentlessly tweeting.

787
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 2: I accept, and he's doing it now in multiple languages.

788
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: He does it in English, I guess his native language,

789
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 2: and he also did it in Tagalag, the language of

790
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 2: the Philippines, sort of implying that he would be willing

791
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 2: to take a fight with many Pakia Paki, of course,

792
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,160
Speaker 2: who was signed I believe to the same representation agency

793
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,040
Speaker 2: that he is Paradigm B.

794
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 1: See.

795
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna ask do we care in a general

796
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 2: sense because we are here, we are talking about it,

797
00:36:56,719 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 2: so on some level we obviously care, But do we

798
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 2: like care care? Do we really care? We are we

799
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: making an effing segment like two losers out of Connor

800
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 2: McGregor's tweets, things that we accuse MMA Media of just

801
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 2: stretching out so they can fill up content on their

802
00:37:15,800 --> 00:37:18,799
Speaker 2: reverse chronological websites. Are we also hypocrites? BC?

803
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,839
Speaker 1: Yes and no. Look, we want to only talk about

804
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: it if it's for real, and you know there's a

805
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: chance it could be for real because conn McGregor can't

806
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,040
Speaker 1: get the title shot or Habib right now, the two

807
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 1: things that he wants the most. So you know, I've

808
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: said this since day one. It doesn't make a lot

809
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,320
Speaker 1: of sense for him to come back against the Tony Ferguson,

810
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: against Pourier, against anybody right now, right it makes sense

811
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 1: for him to stay on brand and only go after

812
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: the biggest prize in the biggest white whales, so to speak.

813
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: And if he wanted to stay busy on the boxing

814
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:53,440
Speaker 1: side and make a crapload of money against Pakio, like okay,

815
00:37:53,480 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: it would make sense. I think it's an awful boxing

816
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 1: fight for him. I think I think he potentially get

817
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: knocked out at you know, a ton of lot earlier

818
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,920
Speaker 1: than he did when he ran out of gas against Mayweather.

819
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: But if he wants to do it, if it makes

820
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: sense for Audie and and Paradigm and all that. The

821
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,120
Speaker 1: thing is, I just don't think that it's you know,

822
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,839
Speaker 1: being talked about realistically and it's on the board. I think,

823
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: if anything, it's Connor trying to raise his own UFC

824
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: comeback price. And you saw Dana react to it at

825
00:38:17,600 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 1: the postfight press conference on Saturday and you know basically

826
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: just say I don't care, I don't want to talk

827
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 1: about this. I think that showed me a lot, Luke.

828
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: I think he's just trying to raise his price. You know,

829
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 1: that's great that he hit the translate button and figure

830
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,280
Speaker 1: out how to put it in there and too gtalog,

831
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: But I feel like, he responds, you know, when he's

832
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 1: sitting around drink drinking the whiskey to any fight going

833
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 1: on or any potential call out. Good God, when I

834
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 1: started that ridiculous Oscar de la Hoya thing, he responded,

835
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: So let's not give it too much until we actually

836
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, if it's time to talk about it,

837
00:38:47,440 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 1: let's talk about it. But I don't think it's gonna happen.

838
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:51,799
Speaker 2: I just hope. The only thing I have to say

839
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 2: about it is, obviously we are hypocrites. We are using

840
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 2: it for one of our segments. But I think more

841
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 2: than that, if he's still interested in the fight game

842
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:01,799
Speaker 2: and this is part of it, this is part of

843
00:39:01,880 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 2: like shots to the UFC or just messages or you know,

844
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 2: some kind of way to signal something as a way

845
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 2: of early negotiation, then I think it's something I'm willing

846
00:39:12,920 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 2: to live with. If it's just trolling or boredom or

847
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 2: something like that, then you know, by definition, it's certainly

848
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,239
Speaker 2: a waste of our time. But my only hope is that,

849
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: you know, we don't know exactly what the truth is

850
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,200
Speaker 2: in terms of either the reality of the allegations or

851
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: the investigations. But whoever the famous Irish sports star was

852
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:37,879
Speaker 2: who had been investigated for alleged rape. That same one,

853
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: which the Irish press refused to name, has now been

854
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:43,360
Speaker 2: cleared and that, of course, the New York Times connected

855
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 2: the dots and reported that it was actually Connor McGregor.

856
00:39:45,560 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 2: So it appears anyway, appears that whatever he had hanging

857
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: over his head legally is now gone. If that's now gone,

858
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:53,840
Speaker 2: and he's not punching old dudes in bars anymore, and

859
00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: he turned over this sort of new elder statesman Leef,

860
00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: and maybe he was innocent of those allegations. We simply

861
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 2: just won't know. Certainly, it's not a legal jeopardy he's

862
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: in anymore. It would be nice to have him back.

863
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,400
Speaker 2: It would be nice. I think the game is not

864
00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 2: the same when he's not around, and he's a better person.

865
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 1: Great, freaking great to have him back. Luke.

866
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,160
Speaker 2: Okay, So this is my point. It's like, if this

867
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 2: is a way to keep his toes in the water,

868
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:22,239
Speaker 2: it's a it's a tax I'm willing to pay. I

869
00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:24,239
Speaker 2: just have no way of knowing what it is. I

870
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:25,239
Speaker 2: only hope that it's that.

871
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: You know, people accuse the American media of, you know,

872
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: of kneeling for Connor at all times. And you know,

873
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,839
Speaker 1: I mean, look, I got freaking Connor red Penny Knight

874
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,560
Speaker 1: posters all over my damn office in here and stuff.

875
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,920
Speaker 1: But the fact is, nobody brings that type of excitement

876
00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:44,440
Speaker 1: and yes, financial lucrativeness and you know, uh, front page

877
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 1: availability and all that. It makes the sport better when

878
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: the biggest star is active, and I think that has

879
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: been this calendar year. If we're talking about MMA storylines

880
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: and themes, one of the biggest things that seem to

881
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,800
Speaker 1: have been robbed by the quarantine is that when Connor

882
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: blew Away Cowboy, Whether you think that when was indicative

883
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,640
Speaker 1: of him turning a corner, you know, emotionally, physically all

884
00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:07,280
Speaker 1: that spiritually and coming back and being the same guy again,

885
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 1: or whether it was just an easy fight against a

886
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: wash guy. It suggested that he was going to be busy,

887
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 1: that he was humble, that he was going to come

888
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:16,759
Speaker 1: back and fight three times. And now we're going in

889
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:19,720
Speaker 1: the other direction when we're talking about these mythical boxing

890
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 1: matchups and it's like I just said it a minute ago.

891
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: I don't blame him for not coming back against a

892
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: Ferguson or even a Nate doing anything that is sort

893
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 1: of like a take a chance, stay busy when he's

894
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:32,960
Speaker 1: focused on that prize. So if he wants to sit out,

895
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:35,959
Speaker 1: that's his right. But I do think Luke had things

896
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Speaker 1: not falling apart for this sport, we may we may

897
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 1: have been able to see him on a much faster timeline.

898
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: And I mean, for all we know, he could have

899
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: been the one facing Justin Gaetgchee or Ferguson on that

900
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:46,879
Speaker 1: first show when they came back.

901
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: Still might, I guess we'll see. I doubt it, but

902
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: certainly still possible. All right, Last, but certainly not least,

903
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,720
Speaker 2: we have a couple of fights coming up this weekend

904
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 2: we should talk about for just a second. There's a

905
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: UFC card and a Bellatzer card. We start with UFC

906
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 2: headlined a heavyweight fight between Alexi Olennok and Derek Lewis.

907
00:42:04,120 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 2: You see, the question would be, you know what would

908
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:10,319
Speaker 2: happen if Lewis wins here? Should he get another crack

909
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,520
Speaker 2: at Francis? Now, Francis has said, listen, I've won four

910
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:17,520
Speaker 2: in a row, I've beaten all these former champions. I'm

911
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,360
Speaker 2: not fighting again unless it's for a title or something

912
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 2: like that. Now, I'm not suggesting that they put an

913
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,920
Speaker 2: interim title fight on the winner of this one versus Francis,

914
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:28,120
Speaker 2: but just thinking out loud, if there was a way

915
00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 2: to make it, and maybe there's not, I would love

916
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 2: to see, actually, believe it or not, a second fight

917
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: between Derek Lewis and Francis, despite the first one being

918
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,799
Speaker 2: a literal all time stinker in MMA history. And the

919
00:42:38,840 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 2: reason why is because one, it would just make sense

920
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 2: from their positions in the division, but two, more importantly,

921
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: part of what you're trying to discover with Francis is

922
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 2: something that these other champions he's beaten have not been

923
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 2: able to show us, which is how much change has

924
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 2: he made since the loss to Stepe, since the loss

925
00:42:56,760 --> 00:42:59,320
Speaker 2: to Lewis the last two times in fact he has lost.

926
00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 2: We've heard about all his growth, and yes he's been winning,

927
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,320
Speaker 2: but he's knocking these fools out in like the quickest

928
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: amount of time. You're just not getting a full read.

929
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 2: Maybe Derek Lewis tells us that, maybe he doesn't. But

930
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: the whole premise of this growth that Francis has apparently

931
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: undergone is that he can now answer for challenges like

932
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,360
Speaker 2: this so between where there are the divisions, it'd be

933
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: a three fight win streak for Derek Lewis with Gloy

934
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 2: Ivanov Ilil Latifi and this one. If he can get it,

935
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 2: it would make a ton of sense. How easy it

936
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: is to make I don't know. But honestly, despite the

937
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,920
Speaker 2: first one sucking ASSBC, I would love to see the

938
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:36,439
Speaker 2: second one.

939
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: I'm a cool story bro, but it would not make

940
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: a ton of sense right now, Luke. It would be

941
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: a giant step back for Francis and Gano. Those names

942
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: you just mentioned that Derek Lewis had beat. It's like, okay,

943
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: that's great, but those aren't the highest level names. I

944
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 1: mean a lot of people didn't even think he beat Latifi.

945
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 1: So look, he's a step down at the moment. Right

946
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 1: There was a time when he shined himself up and

947
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: got lucky against Volkov and got himself into a title fight,

948
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 1: and he's great on the mic and all that stuff,

949
00:44:00,480 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: but he's not that dude in Ghanhu shouldn't go back

950
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: to that right now, and Ghanu should get on a

951
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: plane or actually he doesn't have to. He lives in Vegas.

952
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: He lives in Bretto Komodo's old house. I've been in there,

953
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 1: I partied in there. Shout out to my man bred

954
00:44:12,480 --> 00:44:15,240
Speaker 1: on the birth of his first child. But in Ghanu

955
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: should show up with a mask and be their cage

956
00:44:17,239 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 1: side ready to walk in when Stepey and d s

957
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: do it for the three pay time. Right out there,

958
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: you know who Derek Lewis should fight if he wins,

959
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,520
Speaker 1: Curtis Blades. That's who he should fight, because Dana hates

960
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,640
Speaker 1: him right now for quote unquote talking shit, And it

961
00:44:32,840 --> 00:44:36,520
Speaker 1: would seem to be a perfect stay busy fight, stay

962
00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:40,440
Speaker 1: outside the title picture, be ready to potentially facing Ghanu

963
00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 1: a third time if and Ghano ends up becoming the

964
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 1: champion after that. But no, Luke, don't don't drag Frank

965
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 1: the Tank back into this. That first fight suck. Lewis

966
00:44:48,560 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: needs more than that to get back in it. I mean,

967
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:52,399
Speaker 1: who else do you want in Ganda to knock out?

968
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: He's been destroying elite level guys.

969
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 2: Okay, Luke, Yeah, but it's the same thing. It's the

970
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,160
Speaker 2: same thing with Shabazi and it tells you you're good.

971
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:00,799
Speaker 2: And yes, it's not the same thing in the sense

972
00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 2: that he hasn't been fighting enough guys. But eventually someone

973
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: in MMA puts it on you. Now, maybe Derek Lewis

974
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 2: isn't that guy, but hello, he's already beaten. Francis has

975
00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 2: Curtis Blades twice, so you can't do that one a

976
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:14,360
Speaker 2: third time, even though he beat Volkov. You're right, you

977
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 2: could do Lewis versus Curtis Blades. Is there really any

978
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 2: mystery to that one? Is there really any kind of

979
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 2: sense that you have about how that one's gonna go?

980
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,279
Speaker 2: I don't think so. There is actually a little bit

981
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 2: of mystery. I think with Lewis and Francis, we are

982
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:27,720
Speaker 2: so put off.

983
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 1: Do you believe we're so put off?

984
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:31,640
Speaker 2: We're so put off by the first one. I get it.

985
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:33,920
Speaker 2: It's sucked. It sucked our will to live. I have

986
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,840
Speaker 2: a strong suspicion the second one wouldn't.

987
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, but okay, but that's nice. But way the resumes

988
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,440
Speaker 1: against each other since that fight. Even if Lewis beats Oleenic,

989
00:45:41,480 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 1: who I love and is on a nice little run here,

990
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: it's not the same ballgame.

991
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 2: He doesn't deserve it, I agree, except part of the

992
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 2: guys he's beating are pretty highly ranked. You can make

993
00:45:52,920 --> 00:45:54,560
Speaker 2: that Blades fight, But I think that's a waste of

994
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 2: everyone's time. I don't think this would be a waste now,

995
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,359
Speaker 2: except for Francis. I agree he doesn't need to take

996
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 2: this fight, but they would have made him an interim

997
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,719
Speaker 2: champion if they thought that was something they wanted to, like,

998
00:46:03,840 --> 00:46:06,360
Speaker 2: really put in his direction. The fact that they didn't

999
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 2: means they might have one more fight in mind for him.

1000
00:46:09,200 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 2: I guess we're gonna have to see, especially if what

1001
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,200
Speaker 2: if DC wins and then drops the belt? They might

1002
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 2: have to do stepe A versus Francis two? Or how

1003
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: do you give a title shot to the guy who

1004
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 2: just lost in the title fight? Can you imagine it?

1005
00:46:22,480 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: B C.

1006
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 2: They might do Francis versus Derek Lewis for a title fight.

1007
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 2: Can you imagine? Can you imagine?

1008
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 1: Dana hates Curtis Blades? But if both of those guys

1009
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: retire August fifteenth, after this epic five round war, you're

1010
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: doing Ghan who Blades three for the title? You do it, Luke? Okay,

1011
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: you do it?

1012
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 2: You might? You might. I will also have beltore, I

1013
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,400
Speaker 2: believe August seventh, which should be a Friday back at

1014
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 2: Mohegan Sun, which is where, of course, the first belt

1015
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:52,200
Speaker 2: or card was and Saturday's Showtime card. They're both going

1016
00:46:52,239 --> 00:46:54,600
Speaker 2: to be sharing resources down there. It was interesting, actually

1017
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: thought that the Showtime set looked better. It was a

1018
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:01,839
Speaker 2: little bit darker than the other one. But I don't

1019
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 2: know if is this my imagination? Did they have music

1020
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 2: between rounds on the Bellatore show. I feel like they did.

1021
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't remember.

1022
00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: I don't remember all right, but neither here nor there.

1023
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 2: The point being is this gonna have a rematch between

1024
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 2: former champions one in UFC certainly won in Belltour with

1025
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 2: Michael Chandler and Benson Henderson. Now, the first fight was

1026
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 2: actually super exciting, with Chandler coming out to a commanding

1027
00:47:26,080 --> 00:47:29,759
Speaker 2: lead early, but Henderson showing incredible grit and putting it

1028
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 2: on him late. Still Chandler getting his hand raised. They're

1029
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:35,440
Speaker 2: gonna make it one more time. Now. This is an

1030
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,239
Speaker 2: interesting fight BC because Benson was a big acquisition from

1031
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,560
Speaker 2: UFC for Bellatour. He has Initially he was not performing

1032
00:47:44,600 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 2: the way that they had hoped. I think of late

1033
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: he's done a lot better. Chandler it seems like, on

1034
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 2: the last fight of his deal, might be looking for

1035
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: a way out. So is this the chance for the

1036
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 2: guy who was supposed to be the Golden Boy and

1037
00:47:57,360 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: wasn't to also put it on the guy who was

1038
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 2: maybe the golden boy, but now isn't.

1039
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a great fight, Luke. No one's talking

1040
00:48:05,560 --> 00:48:08,919
Speaker 1: about this fight Friday night bellatour. This is a fantastic one,

1041
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: not just because of the star power and the rematch

1042
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 1: of how good their first one was, but for everything

1043
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,520
Speaker 1: you just mentioned. Benson Henderson came in as a big signing,

1044
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 1: lost title fights in two different divisions in his first

1045
00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 1: three fights, and I think his only win during that

1046
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:23,839
Speaker 1: time didn't it come on like a freaky leg kick,

1047
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 1: like he didn't look good in the beginning To to

1048
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:31,399
Speaker 1: a yes, Yes, he's rebuilt himself nicely with four wins

1049
00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 1: in a row. And Chandler is, you know, your face

1050
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,399
Speaker 1: of the franchise outside of pit Bull. So I talked

1051
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 1: to him about two months ago, Luke, and it was

1052
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 1: a really refreshing interview. As you mentioned, this is the

1053
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: last fight of his deal. He knows his value. He

1054
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,520
Speaker 1: would be very happy if Scott Cocher and company would

1055
00:48:48,520 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: give him the dollar value that he thinks he deserves

1056
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,960
Speaker 1: at age thirty four to essentially retire with Belatour, sign

1057
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:58,040
Speaker 1: his last deal, you know, fight out all those big names,

1058
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 1: chase Patricio Freira third time, and go after that his

1059
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 1: title that he lost by knockout. He'd love to get

1060
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,280
Speaker 1: Eddie Alvarez back in there if his one deal ever expires,

1061
00:49:07,320 --> 00:49:10,320
Speaker 1: all that great stuff, but he's also willing to walk

1062
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 1: depending on what the market tells him. And you look

1063
00:49:13,239 --> 00:49:15,440
Speaker 1: at this guy, Luke, He's in almost the same spot

1064
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: Eddie Alvarez was when he walked from Belatore. Where when

1065
00:49:18,560 --> 00:49:21,520
Speaker 1: he went to UFC, I'm like, Okay, he's in a

1066
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:24,759
Speaker 1: killer deep division. He'll make fun fights, but I can't

1067
00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,239
Speaker 1: see him ever competing for a title. And what did

1068
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:28,960
Speaker 1: he do? You know, he lost that close fight to

1069
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 1: Cowboy and he went out there and he won the

1070
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,239
Speaker 1: damn title. So you do never know. Michael Chandler would

1071
00:49:33,239 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 1: make so many great fights in the UFC in the

1072
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 1: midst of this historically deep division that it would be

1073
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 1: obviously as smart as he could to exit his deal

1074
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 1: with his brand as strong as possible, which is why

1075
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,760
Speaker 1: he is wired and dialed in. This fight was supposed

1076
00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,319
Speaker 1: to take place two different times in the last few months.

1077
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: He's been in camp the whole time he's ready. You're

1078
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: dying of a coughing fit over there. I hope it's

1079
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 1: not COVID. But this is a great fight, Luke, and

1080
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:00,319
Speaker 1: if Chandler wins, I would like to see what his

1081
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:02,719
Speaker 1: value is on the open market, as much as I'd

1082
00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: like to see him go back in there against Pitbull

1083
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:05,359
Speaker 1: one more time. Yeah.

1084
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,400
Speaker 2: I have conflicting feelings about Chandler leaving Bellatore. On the

1085
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 2: one hand, it would make perfect sense because you've sort

1086
00:50:11,760 --> 00:50:14,000
Speaker 2: of seen what he's going to do in Belatore at

1087
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:15,560
Speaker 2: the high end, at the middle end, and at the

1088
00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:18,839
Speaker 2: low end. We've got a full range of the experiences.

1089
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:21,160
Speaker 2: The sort of weird fight against Brent Primis, the lost

1090
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: to Pitbull for the double belts, but some of the

1091
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,160
Speaker 2: more dramatic wins, including the one over Ady Alvarez. I mean,

1092
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 2: he's been doing this since the Bjorn Revenue tournament days,

1093
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: and the fact that he's held on this long in

1094
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 2: ways were like other guys who did those tournaments, like

1095
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,600
Speaker 2: Pat Curran, they got ground into dust because of them,

1096
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,800
Speaker 2: But he's found a way to persevere. It's been pretty interesting.

1097
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 2: So I would like to see something new for him

1098
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 2: on the other hand, I don't think that while he

1099
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 2: might win on Friday, don't want to take that away

1100
00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 2: from him. To your point, he's a hard, hard, dedicated worker.

1101
00:50:50,160 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 2: How good would he do in that lion's den of

1102
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 2: a division in UFC a few years ago? I might

1103
00:50:55,920 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 2: have a different opinion. Now I'm certain he could win.

1104
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 2: Could he go and get a bet out there? You know,

1105
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:03,680
Speaker 2: I'm less than convinced that that's a I.

1106
00:51:03,640 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: Mean, we're historically deep. Yeah, it'd be tough, it'd be tough, but.

1107
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,480
Speaker 2: But it'd be interesting, it'd be new, would be something different.

1108
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 2: You know, we'll have to see. And by the way,

1109
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 2: last thing about this, if you think about some of

1110
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 2: the best fighters who never fought in UFC normally, these

1111
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:20,040
Speaker 2: considerations just don't mean anything anymore because there's no more

1112
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:22,760
Speaker 2: pride to acquire, there's no more strike force to acquire.

1113
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:27,440
Speaker 2: Chandler would be somewhere on that list. And when if

1114
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 2: you ever remember the days of Hector Lombard getting signed

1115
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,040
Speaker 2: from Belatore, I remember our Stephan Bonner complaining to me

1116
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 2: on the set of m Man Sensored Live. He was like, dude,

1117
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 2: Hector Lombard is getting like four hundred k per fight

1118
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:40,360
Speaker 2: because he got acquired from Belatore. It might also be

1119
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:44,000
Speaker 2: possible depending how he looks on Friday, for Michael Chandler,

1120
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 2: if he wants to bounce, if the UFC is still

1121
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:48,080
Speaker 2: in that business, to get potentially a bit of a

1122
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:50,359
Speaker 2: pay bump if he looks good, if that's something that's

1123
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 2: interested in doing so. A little bit of historical footnote

1124
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 2: there as well.

1125
00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 1: Okay to Craig Carton, try to sell you a timeshare backstage?

1126
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 2: All no, but I spoke to him. I'll tell you that.

1127
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:03,040
Speaker 1: Oh tell us, tell us.

1128
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 2: No, I will not. With that in mind, it is

1129
00:52:05,560 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 2: time where you guys get get to ask us questions.

1130
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 2: It is time for dms from dogs. All right, let's

1131
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,280
Speaker 2: go to this one first, as I very much uh

1132
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 2: not inconspicuously drink my diet mountain dew. All right from

1133
00:52:27,239 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 2: dip three eight eighty six. Why isn't Vicenti Luke getting

1134
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:33,719
Speaker 2: a proper push? Shouldn't UFC be booking him against top

1135
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:37,400
Speaker 2: ten ranked opponents like Lawler or Woodley? What do you think, Brian?

1136
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:40,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's about time. I mean, how many other you know,

1137
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: B grade fighters? Does he need to go in there

1138
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: and walk down and knock out. He's an exciting fighter

1139
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: at times to his detriment back then. But then really

1140
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,240
Speaker 1: you look at his record, doesn't have a ton of loss.

1141
00:52:51,239 --> 00:52:52,839
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you have that one loss over

1142
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: the streak right now? I mean he's on too an

1143
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: incredible run. Would he get knocked out of two O five?

1144
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 1: I believe.

1145
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:01,040
Speaker 2: This. This This is sort of the point you see

1146
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,080
Speaker 2: is that he's lost to Stephen Thompson, which, okay, that happens.

1147
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: I mean, he's very good. But he also lost to

1148
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:08,680
Speaker 2: Leon Edwards back in twenty seventeen, and that's not nothing either.

1149
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:10,360
Speaker 2: But the whole point is if you look at his

1150
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:12,720
Speaker 2: wins versus the guys, he's lost two since the Michael

1151
00:53:12,719 --> 00:53:15,680
Speaker 2: Graves lost, which was on the Ultimate Fighter. Right he's

1152
00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: beating not not like scrubs, like he beat Ballah mohammedd

1153
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 2: he knocked him out. That's very very good. But that's

1154
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 2: probably his best win. Whenever he gets into that upper echelon,

1155
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 2: that's when he begins to get problems. So he's on

1156
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: a two fight win streak. I'm not opposed to seeing

1157
00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: something a little bit more of a challenge. But when

1158
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 2: he has stepped up, it's been shown that he is

1159
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,840
Speaker 2: a formidable talent, but maybe not top five, top seven formidable.

1160
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:43,200
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, give him Leon Edwards. Let's find out how

1161
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: good he is.

1162
00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,800
Speaker 2: Edwards is good, bro. I hate to admit it because

1163
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,280
Speaker 2: his style is not exciting, but he is very talented.

1164
00:53:49,320 --> 00:53:51,800
Speaker 1: He is he No, he's getting screwed in this larger conference.

1165
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 1: Let's be honest, he's getting completely screwed.

1166
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 2: How is How did he not get booked on Fight Island?

1167
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 2: That's what I don't want?

1168
00:53:56,719 --> 00:53:59,919
Speaker 1: Stupid? How do I have pittstains? This bad? Right now?

1169
00:54:00,200 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 1: That's what I want to know.

1170
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,320
Speaker 2: You got your nervous, your nervous coming back your first show?

1171
00:54:04,560 --> 00:54:07,400
Speaker 1: Good? Good lord? Yeah he should have been booked. That

1172
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: is a bad. Wow. That was a real gross one. Yeah,

1173
00:54:09,760 --> 00:54:11,839
Speaker 1: he should have been booked on Fight Ilan. I don't know, Luke.

1174
00:54:11,920 --> 00:54:14,400
Speaker 1: This is for the questions that don't have any answers,

1175
00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:18,880
Speaker 1: right your Midnight Glances in your topless answers.

1176
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: From Brantendo sixty four is Landovanada an elite talent who

1177
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: just can't put it all together. He's still very young

1178
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: or is he just an average talent who has had

1179
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:32,200
Speaker 2: elite moments? You see, aren't you the one that has

1180
00:54:32,239 --> 00:54:35,200
Speaker 2: said you are what your resume says you are.

1181
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 1: That was Bill Parcell's.

1182
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: But yeah, but you've parted him.

1183
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I quote a lot, just quote a kid rock

1184
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,800
Speaker 1: for God's sake. Yeah, I think he's more of the latter.

1185
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 1: He's more of a brawler who who who has some

1186
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,319
Speaker 1: polish on him, Luke, I don't. I don't think he's

1187
00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 1: shown me enough to know that he can be a

1188
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,960
Speaker 1: polished fighter who can brawl when he needs to, right

1189
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 1: and flip that that coin. You know, upside down there's

1190
00:55:03,760 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 1: guys like him, Luke, Right, you know there's I mean

1191
00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,920
Speaker 1: I was that guy in my mid twenties, right, you

1192
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 1: know I could dress up nice, but you know I

1193
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 1: had no bank account. I was living in a crappy apartment, right,

1194
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,839
Speaker 1: I was in the dead ends of life. He's got

1195
00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:17,840
Speaker 1: to get out of that. He's got to go upper class,

1196
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: and I don't know if it's in him, Luke.

1197
00:55:19,760 --> 00:55:21,880
Speaker 2: I mean, here's the problem. Basically, what happened to him.

1198
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 2: He came to the UFC undefeated. He filled in in

1199
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,719
Speaker 2: that twenty sixteen bout against Ferguson, which he put it

1200
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,359
Speaker 2: on Ferguson but lost. Then after that folks forget this.

1201
00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 2: He had that John Macdessi win where two fights in

1202
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 2: a row, he gets a bonus fight of the night

1203
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 2: and then performs of the night and he beat Macdessey

1204
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 2: with that spinning heel kick. I mean it was absolutely,

1205
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,799
Speaker 2: oh yeah, brilliant. So you're thinking, wow, dude, this guy

1206
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: must just be Okay. You lose to Tony Ferguson a

1207
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 2: short note, this big deal, and you nearly beat him.

1208
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 2: Plus you come out and do this to John Macdessey,

1209
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: made him look like he was nothing. You just thought

1210
00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:55,680
Speaker 2: he had I mean, the wolf was his oyster. But

1211
00:55:55,680 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 2: then he loses to Tamer, had the draw with Green,

1212
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 2: lost to close, had the with Ravola, he had to win,

1213
00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,839
Speaker 2: had a loss, how to win, had a loss. And

1214
00:56:03,880 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 2: so it's like, I don't know how representative those fights

1215
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:09,880
Speaker 2: with Ferguson and Macdeski were except to say that's his

1216
00:56:10,040 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 2: upper bound limit, but it's not his consistent level. His

1217
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 2: consistent level was pretty clearly something a little bit below that,

1218
00:56:17,520 --> 00:56:19,640
Speaker 2: maybe a lot below that. He's a very nice guy.

1219
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,640
Speaker 2: Green though, well, Bobby Green is just one of these

1220
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,320
Speaker 2: incredibly enigmatic dudes where the first fight was very exciting

1221
00:56:27,320 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 2: and it was a draw. Bobby is talented man, He's

1222
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:33,479
Speaker 2: always been talented. He just had rounds where he took

1223
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 2: off or you know, he just I think saft. I

1224
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 2: mean he one time he and I spoke about this.

1225
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 2: He's like, you know, if you go back and you

1226
00:56:40,480 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 2: watch some of my fights. He actually asked me to

1227
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 2: watch some of his rounds, what do you think about

1228
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 2: this one? And they were close, but it was like

1229
00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 2: he only lost because the other guy worked a little

1230
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,000
Speaker 2: harder or something, you know, not because he was more

1231
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 2: talented than Bobby. Now, Bobby, to me, is putting in

1232
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:57,040
Speaker 2: a little bit more of that work rate and mixing

1233
00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 2: it in with that pretty significant talent that he has,

1234
00:56:59,800 --> 00:57:02,879
Speaker 2: and those two come together, he can do very special things.

1235
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 2: You know. I don't think he's a top five lightweight,

1236
00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: but he can beat good guys and he can do

1237
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 2: it pretty consistently. I have a high view of Bobby Green.

1238
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he's got like top end speed, and

1239
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 1: I think you showed a better technique in this than

1240
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,479
Speaker 1: I'd seen it in his boxing in a long time.

1241
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: For sure. He's well rounded as well, Like if he

1242
00:57:19,880 --> 00:57:21,880
Speaker 2: needs to wrestle, he can wrestle. He's got good jiu jitsu,

1243
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 2: he can scramble, he understands the metagame. I just think,

1244
00:57:25,440 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 2: for you know, we got an impression of somebody early

1245
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 2: and it's not that those were lies, it's just how

1246
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 2: representative is that them? Fight over fight turns out not

1247
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:40,480
Speaker 2: that much all right? From Omar Al with like eight

1248
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 2: underscores after.

1249
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: It, that's my guy. That's my guy. That's Omar Al

1250
00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,240
Speaker 1: Rashid from Australia. He's been a long time follower of

1251
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 1: my business and shout out to that fella.

1252
00:57:50,320 --> 00:57:53,840
Speaker 2: What is Leo's ceiling? He showed a great performance this week,

1253
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 2: but can he reach the very top? I guess we're

1254
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 2: gonna find it against Fulton.

1255
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:59,240
Speaker 1: Right we are. And I think it's a fair question

1256
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:02,320
Speaker 1: because although Leo made the right adjustment in that fight,

1257
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: as we mentioned, and walked him down and went to

1258
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:08,360
Speaker 1: the body and was aggressive, does he have the technical

1259
00:58:08,440 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: tools against a boxer like Coolboy Staph against a Danny Roman,

1260
00:58:12,720 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: a former unified champion in that division was looking to

1261
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 1: get back in there. Yeah, we're gonna find that out.

1262
00:58:17,320 --> 00:58:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't know yet. I mean there were some moments

1263
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:21,120
Speaker 1: like like we mentioned in the first three rounds where

1264
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:23,439
Speaker 1: I'm like it's even on the right level here. Well,

1265
00:58:23,480 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 1: he showed us he is. But he may be more

1266
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 1: aggression in balls than skill, but he's gonna have to

1267
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:30,440
Speaker 1: show us that.

1268
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, that sounds about right. I think it's just far

1269
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 2: too early to say, you know.

1270
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 1: And by the shout out to that guy Brantendo sixty

1271
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 1: four on the question before, that's the guy who said

1272
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 1: in the video of him doing the Luke Thomas coffee trick.

1273
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 2: I like that. Yes, very good with Leo. The only

1274
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:51,400
Speaker 2: thing I would say is, yes, you made someone basically

1275
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 2: fight your way and he was. Actually I think it's

1276
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 2: some places Williams was favored at the very beginning of

1277
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,880
Speaker 2: that fight, a certain place where you could have bet.

1278
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,520
Speaker 2: But I just Fulton to me seems way too slick

1279
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 2: relative to Williams, Way too many tricks, way brilliant jab

1280
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,760
Speaker 2: he's got that's gonna be a hard thing to get around,

1281
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:13,720
Speaker 2: you know, if you want to be a backside fighter.

1282
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:16,400
Speaker 1: He's got a philly backbone too. Look, I'm sorry I'm

1283
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: jumping all over you today. I'm not.

1284
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 2: It's okay. The only thing I'd add is that, you know,

1285
00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 2: that's like I mean, that is that's a different level

1286
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 2: of challenge to get around, which you might do. I'm

1287
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:27,280
Speaker 2: not saying he won't, but the Fulton fight will be

1288
00:59:27,320 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 2: a much better examination of what he's got and what

1289
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: he doesn't true. Uh okay at Tony g eight three

1290
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 2: oh five, Brian, how would you guys feel about the

1291
00:59:36,240 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: UFC booking Chamaiah versus Mike Perry potentially killing two birds

1292
00:59:40,480 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 2: with one stone. Pardy could potentially take a bad loss

1293
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,640
Speaker 2: in which the UFC could then cut ties with him.

1294
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 2: Why are people under the impression that they want to

1295
00:59:46,600 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 2: cut ties with him and then Shamaev picks up a

1296
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 2: win over a name opponent. You like that idea?

1297
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, Look, they're not cutting ties with him because I

1298
00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,400
Speaker 1: think they found out in that comin event opportunity against

1299
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: Mickey gall that he was the story of the of

1300
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,160
Speaker 1: the fight. Everybody wanted to see him. But uh, as

1301
01:00:03,280 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 1: much as that's a good fight, because you want to

1302
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 1: find out how good Cha may have did, because he's

1303
01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 1: just destroying people. I mean, I think he's got to

1304
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:10,200
Speaker 1: fight tomorrow, Luke. And by the way, that's one of

1305
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: the greatest post fight interviews I've ever seen. That one

1306
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 1: last week, Luke, the one.

1307
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 2: Where he just like mesh everybody.

1308
01:00:16,280 --> 01:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean he did a little bit of Habib,

1309
01:00:17,920 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 1: but it was like evil Habib. It was like, I mean,

1310
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: it was absolutely fantastic. I mean that was like almost

1311
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: you know Russian McGregor, like, I mean, I was dialed

1312
01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: in to find out if he can back that up.

1313
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 1: I think the problem is he might destroy Mike Perry.

1314
01:00:31,520 --> 01:00:34,160
Speaker 1: But you know, that's why we have these type of fights.

1315
01:00:34,160 --> 01:00:37,200
Speaker 1: That's why you have these step up, almost gatekeeper like

1316
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,600
Speaker 1: moments to find out as Brunston and Shabazi and just proved.

1317
01:00:40,640 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: But uh yeah, I'd be done with that kind of

1318
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 1: match making a kind of fear for uh Lotory's unborn

1319
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 1: child here that Mike doesn't come back though.

1320
01:00:47,720 --> 01:00:49,960
Speaker 2: Uh yeah. I mean here's the thing about Jamayev. It's like,

1321
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,320
Speaker 2: did we not just learn with Shabazian, who by the way,

1322
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 2: had beaten brand Savares prior to Sunday or Saturday that

1323
01:00:57,560 --> 01:00:59,600
Speaker 2: you know, you gotta slow the role here a little.

1324
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 2: He beat two donks from I'm not sure if Reeves

1325
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,200
Speaker 2: McKee is from Ireland or Northern Ireland, but he beat

1326
01:01:06,240 --> 01:01:08,560
Speaker 2: two donks essentially from the UK. And then if he's

1327
01:01:08,560 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 2: from Native Ireland and Ireland. But you know they're good fighters.

1328
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 2: Please don't misunderstand me. They're very talented, especially the Mickey.

1329
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:18,360
Speaker 2: I actually think mcke's pretty good, but these are not good dudes.

1330
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: Who are you can look at on paper and you'd

1331
01:01:20,440 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 2: be like, oh that they give Chamaia a hard time.

1332
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: He hasn't fought anyone in the UFC that would say that.

1333
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,760
Speaker 2: And what's kind of interesting is he did fight somebody

1334
01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,280
Speaker 2: on the regional scene who did a combatsemble world champion,

1335
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:34,919
Speaker 2: who stuffed all of his takedowns, and then Shamaia knocked

1336
01:01:34,960 --> 01:01:37,200
Speaker 2: him out, which is why he's an interesting prospect. But

1337
01:01:37,240 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 2: he also goes BCE. I'm sure you saw this balls

1338
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:42,000
Speaker 2: to the wall flick floor is just you know, the

1339
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 2: gas pedals is getting shoved through it. You know, that's

1340
01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 2: not the pace he should be fighting at. At this level,

1341
01:01:47,040 --> 01:01:48,800
Speaker 2: it doesn't always work out for you that well. So

1342
01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 2: to me, he looks very talented. He also looks like

1343
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 2: he's been fighting guys well below his level, and once

1344
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,880
Speaker 2: he's not, we're gonna learn a whole lot more about him.

1345
01:01:56,880 --> 01:02:00,160
Speaker 2: Maybe he beats them. I'm just saying, cool, it a

1346
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 2: little bit cool.

1347
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:03,040
Speaker 1: You're right on a lot of things, because Mike Perry

1348
01:02:03,080 --> 01:02:05,720
Speaker 1: does have some of those gatekeeper in tangibles that will

1349
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:08,000
Speaker 1: expose you. And you're right, we just talked about Damn

1350
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,960
Speaker 1: Shabazi and I'm what is it with MMA media and

1351
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: the new hot chick at the dance? Anytime we got

1352
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 1: a new young fighter who's destroying, you know, regional level talent,

1353
01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 1: We're like, put them in there for the title baby,

1354
01:02:18,760 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 1: like the whole Johnny Walker thing. It's like why, look,

1355
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:22,560
Speaker 1: why do we do that? Right?

1356
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know that because in boxing,

1357
01:02:25,920 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 2: in boxing, it's not nearly like that. In boxing. The

1358
01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:31,200
Speaker 2: you know, there's excitement around people who come up lat

1359
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,840
Speaker 2: Lao for example, but it takes time. They get like

1360
01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 2: twenty fights under them, twenty five fights under them, you know,

1361
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 2: and then you're like, okay, we can start to see

1362
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 2: exactly who they are. Like how many fights does your

1363
01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: boy over in Golden Boy virgual Ortiz have? How many

1364
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 2: fights is he up to at this point?

1365
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:47,320
Speaker 1: I think he's got I think he's fifteen and zero

1366
01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 1: with fifteen Ko's.

1367
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I mean, you know, he's still just getting there.

1368
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:54,600
Speaker 2: It takes time. It takes time. And for some reason

1369
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 2: in Mma. We like instant stars, and we also like

1370
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: to bury them the incident that they lose too. So

1371
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 2: it's a funny little thing. Uh. Last, but not least

1372
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 2: by the way, whole say, before we gets that, people

1373
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 2: been like, oh, they want to cut ties with Mike Perry.

1374
01:03:08,480 --> 01:03:11,760
Speaker 2: Why would why would UFC want to cut ties with

1375
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:15,040
Speaker 2: MMA's Florida man? Like, that makes no sense. They if

1376
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:17,720
Speaker 2: they want to cut ties with him, they just would.

1377
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,240
Speaker 2: They clearly like being in the Mike Perry business. You know,

1378
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 2: if saying the N word as a guy who you

1379
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 2: know is basically he's.

1380
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 1: He's two percent African, Okay.

1381
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well in the world, by the way, you can

1382
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 2: be white and be from Africa, just so that's clear.

1383
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you can be a Berber, you could be

1384
01:03:34,560 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 2: an Arab, you could be many things to be from Africa.

1385
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 2: You know. It's a famous Joe Rogan joke. It's like

1386
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,520
Speaker 2: if I give you a ham sandwich and it's ninety

1387
01:03:43,520 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 2: eight percent shit and two percent ham, is that a

1388
01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: ham sandwich? I don't think that it is not a

1389
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 2: ham sandwich. So anyway, but if they want, if they

1390
01:03:52,400 --> 01:03:54,160
Speaker 2: any cut ties with him after that or of his

1391
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:58,480
Speaker 2: other indiscretions. They're not going to, so they clearly want

1392
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 2: to be in the Mike Perry business for what or

1393
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 2: for worse? All right, last, but not least, bc AT

1394
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:07,000
Speaker 2: get up now with a zero. On vacation. I don't

1395
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 2: know why this would matter, but okay, boxers or briefs. Uh?

1396
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:13,280
Speaker 1: Do you know what I do on vacation, Luke? Do

1397
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,280
Speaker 1: you know those? Oh? Stop, I'm a fan, I'm a

1398
01:04:17,280 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 1: family man. You're so gross, Luke.

1399
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,920
Speaker 2: Okay, masturbate only when your family goes to sleep.

1400
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Wow? Wow? How do I recover from that? I wear them.

1401
01:04:28,480 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 1: I'm wearing them right now. I wear those Nike running

1402
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,960
Speaker 1: shorts that have the built in underwear that can double

1403
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,840
Speaker 1: as a bathing suit. I got two or three pair

1404
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: of those, Luke. I'll wear them the entire vacation because

1405
01:04:41,720 --> 01:04:43,919
Speaker 1: you can swim in them, if they dry in time,

1406
01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 1: you can sleep in them, you can sweat balls in them.

1407
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,720
Speaker 1: They're very versatile, and I think that answers the whole

1408
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: boxer brief dilemma. There's no dilemma. Wear the built in

1409
01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:56,480
Speaker 1: underwear on drink or just wear nothing. It's vacation, all right.

1410
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: Do you know how many times I had stains all

1411
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,400
Speaker 1: over my shirt from snack, food and beer. It was fantastic, Luke. Okay,

1412
01:05:02,400 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: outdoor speakers at the lake home. I was rocking. I

1413
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: was yacht rock, playing twenty four to seven. It was great,

1414
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 1: all right.

1415
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the answer for me is vacation or

1416
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 2: no vacation. The answer is both. I wear boxer briefs.

1417
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 2: I wear the briefs that are boxers or the boxers

1418
01:05:17,080 --> 01:05:19,080
Speaker 2: that are briefs. I feel like that's the best of

1419
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 2: both worlds, BC. A little bit of comfort, a little

1420
01:05:21,600 --> 01:05:24,760
Speaker 2: bit of stability, and uh, you don't look like the

1421
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:27,440
Speaker 2: oldest old man at the gym who puts the shoes

1422
01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 2: on before his underwear.

1423
01:05:28,680 --> 01:05:30,520
Speaker 1: You're a little bit country, I'm a little bit rock

1424
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and roll. I got it, Luke, I got it all right.

1425
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 2: Uh okay, if you ever want to ask us a question,

1426
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: of course, at Morning Combat on Instagram every Sunday, we

1427
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,080
Speaker 2: put up a post and that's where you can get

1428
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:43,080
Speaker 2: those in without further ado. BC. Let's get to them now,

1429
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 2: your chance to do the show.

1430
01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's do this thing. Let's bring up that graphic.

1431
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 1: It is the uh we sculpt the globe every week, Luke,

1432
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:54,439
Speaker 1: the highs and lows, the good, the bad, and the ugly,

1433
01:05:54,480 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 1: and combat sports and beyond. It's have you seen this shit, Luke?

1434
01:05:57,440 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: I was off a week, Okay, I saw the responses.

Speaker 1: The people want their shit. I got a double dose

1436
01:06:03,440 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 1: this week. Look I've not said it before, but this

1437
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: might be the greatest batch we've ever had. Shout out

1438
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,480
Speaker 1: to our boy Gaff behind the scenes for putting it together.

1439
01:06:10,800 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 1: We start, as you mentioned earlier Showtime Boxing from the

1440
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:17,680
Speaker 1: Mohegan bubble. Did you see light heavyweight Joe George down

1441
01:06:17,720 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 1: on the cards in round nine of a ten round

1442
01:06:19,880 --> 01:06:24,000
Speaker 1: bout against Marcos Escadero in their rematch, sending that blonde

1443
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,240
Speaker 1: man to hell and dude.

1444
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: Escadero was performing well. He was doing really well and

1445
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:32,920
Speaker 2: George just put it on him late. It was in

1446
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 2: the ninth round. He was carrying power like that.

1447
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,520
Speaker 1: He was down on two of the three score cards.

1448
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 1: This was a rematch of a fight last year that

1449
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 1: George won by split decision. And this ain't no journeyman

1450
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: on the undercard. George is unbeaten. This was a day

1451
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 1: after his thirty first birthday. This is a big win.

1452
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:50,400

Speaker 2: Very well done there, he threw, if they show it

1456
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,480
Speaker 2: one more time? In rotation, he throws the right which misses,

1457
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,240
Speaker 2: and then uses it for a frame and then uppercuts it.

1458
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 2: Nice dude, that's a nice setup. Nice set that kicked off.

1459

01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 2: Is that? Are they wearing rebox shorts?

1471
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:40,000

Speaker 2: I think his name is Alexroov. He is a Combatsemble

1479
01:07:58,920 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 2: world champion. He act stuffed all of Tamaiav's takedowns. Jemiav

1480
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 2: could not take him down, not even get very close.

1481
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 2: To be quite honest with you, he was very, very talented,

1482
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,520
Speaker 2: and so Jamaiev just knocked him out. That's it, people, Yeah.

1483
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 1: But peep the technique on this. Look at that he

1484
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,599
Speaker 1: countered the jab with an upper cut underneath. That's brilliant, Luke.

1485
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 2: And then look he dips down. So him dip down.

1486
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,600
Speaker 2: Thop caught him.

1487
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,960
Speaker 1: Catching Abe Lincoln but with John Wilkes Booth's backbone.

1488
01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, I guess.

1489
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 1: All right, hey, Luke, this was from a week ago,

1490
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,640
Speaker 1: but we had to hit it on his own. Sanissa Estrada,

1491
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: one of the rising stars and women's boxing seven seconds

1492
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 1: sending this grocery store clerk down. Oh my god, this

1493
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,480
Speaker 1: is brutal matchmaking. This is the hell on this.

1494
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 2: This was shameful. Golden Boys should be ashamed of themselves.

1495
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,680
Speaker 1: This was there was a title fight too, I know,

1496
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: it was like a late replacement, but it was a

1497
01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,639
Speaker 1: title fight. This this woman, I don't have her name here.

1498
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to shame her more, but she was unbeaten.

1499
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 1: But they ended up doing research on Twitter, Luke. Her

1500
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: husband is a kind of a shady promoter who had

1501
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: matched her up against like, you know, absolute nobody. She

1502
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 1: did not belong here, and she she got taken.

1503
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,360
Speaker 2: Luke, all right, d this was I mean, I've seen

1504
01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:17,800
Speaker 2: better fights between uh straphangers and MTA employees, you know,

1505
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 2: in terms of just like who could last longer Jesus Christ.

1506
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's assault. Brother. Indeed, Hey, let's have some heavyweight

1507
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,479
Speaker 1: boxing hyjinks. You know my man, you know want beating

1508
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 1: heavyweight Alexander Usik, the former Cruiserweight undisputed champion. Look at

1509
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 1: these dance moves, Luke, bro I can not wait for

1510
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: his fight against Derek Chazora. I think he's gonna knock

1511
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:40,920
Speaker 1: him out, Luke, that will be his statement fight in

1512
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:41,759
Speaker 1: the heavyweight division.

1513
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: Well, not only is he dancing, but the colors on

1514
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,680
Speaker 2: his gray shorts over his hog are distracting.

1515
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: I want to say this, if you're an MMA fan

1516
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:53,439
Speaker 1: and not woke to Alexander Luke Usik follow him on

1517
01:09:53,520 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: every social media. He is absolutely hilarious. His English is

1518
01:09:57,439 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 1: how much?

1519
01:09:58,560 --> 01:09:59,840
Speaker 2: How much English does he speak?

1520

Speaker 1: knows about Morning Combat because of his best friend since

1876
01:26:37,560 --> 01:26:41,680
Speaker 1: age four. You want to know the guy's name, No,

1877
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:47,840
Speaker 1: Alex Doncan aka Donks, Luke. His best friend's been known

1878
01:26:47,880 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 1: as Donks for the last like twenty years. All right,

1879
01:26:51,680 --> 01:26:53,960
Speaker 1: here's a picture of them at their senior.

1880
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,080
Speaker 2: Prom ten Because I could pick, I could pick no

1881
01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:59,559

1882
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you to know, that is Donks on the left,

1883
01:27:02,280 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 1: that's our boy Tom on the right. Well, Luke, Morning

1884
01:27:05,600 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: Combat has become a place where we celebrate life. It's

1885
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,840
Speaker 1: a social platform. It's it's your show in the viewer

1886
01:27:11,880 --> 01:27:14,880
Speaker 1: show as much as it is mine. Tom Walker today

1887
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:17,880
Speaker 1: wants to use the platform of Morning Combat to tell

1888
01:27:17,880 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 1: his best friend Donks that when he gets married in

1889
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,400
Speaker 1: March twenty twenty one, to that beautiful piece of business

1890
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: right there, that he wants Donks to be his best man.

1891
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 1: There you go, that's beautiful. I hope we get to

1892
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 1: follow up if he accepted, Luke, that is fantastic.

1893
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:37,320
Speaker 2: Well, you know what, you shouldn't be doing cameos on

1894
01:27:37,360 --> 01:27:39,519
Speaker 2: the show unless we both get paid, in which case,

1895
01:27:39,560 --> 01:27:40,720
Speaker 2: where's my cut?

1896
01:27:41,920 --> 01:27:43,519
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, look at the two of them, Luke.

1897
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,599
Speaker 1: I mean, Donks is kind of the Campbell to his

1898
01:27:45,720 --> 01:27:51,559
Speaker 1: Thomas right, the Lyle to his Eric Menendez, the Dell

1899
01:27:51,720 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 1: to his funky Homo sapien. I love brotherhood, Luke, And

1900
01:27:54,800 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: really that's what this show is about. Whether we're talking

1901
01:27:56,960 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 1: about you know, the guy.

1902
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 2: It's more like the pinky to his brain.

1903
01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: That's fair. That's fair. So you know, hopefully we get

1904
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: a PostScript on this, Hopefully they get married still and

1905
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: do the business, and hopefully Donks is right there by

1906
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 1: his side. But Luke, have you seen this shit? It's

1907
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:13,599
Speaker 1: been a great.

1908
01:28:13,439 --> 01:28:16,200
Speaker 2: Run, very good. By the way Phil I pronounce his

1909
01:28:16,240 --> 01:28:21,439
Speaker 2: last name McGahan McCracken. Yes, he is the wide receivers

1910
01:28:21,439 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 2: coach for the Los Angeles Chargers. Chargers we both got

1911
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 2: that all right.

1912
01:28:26,840 --> 01:28:28,639
Speaker 1: We got his name wrong, we got his job wrong,

1913
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:30,639
Speaker 1: his team wrong. Whatever, you know what I'm saying.

1914
01:28:31,080 --> 01:28:32,960
Speaker 2: BC time for odds and ends? What do you have

1915
01:28:33,040 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 2: for us on odds and ends?

1916
01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:36,639
Speaker 1: I got a lot? Luke, Okay, I got a lot

1917
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,400
Speaker 1: for you here. I forgot what I actually had. What

1918
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 1: is my original odds and Oh? Yeah, Mike Perry, can

1919
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:44,639
Speaker 1: we show this gangster look? He sent me to hell

1920
01:28:44,720 --> 01:28:47,679
Speaker 1: on my own show. He's knocked out old dudes in bars.

1921
01:28:47,720 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: He's a wild frickin' dude. I did want to tell

1922
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:55,200
Speaker 1: him and coach Littori legitimately congratulations on the announcement of

1923
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: their their soon to be born son. I don't know

1924
01:28:58,240 --> 01:29:00,800
Speaker 1: if you saw on Instagram loop they had a they

1925
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:04,160
Speaker 1: had a gender reveal video going on there. No veils happened.

1926
01:29:04,760 --> 01:29:07,920
Speaker 1: But did you see Mike Perry yesterday on Twitter? He

1927
01:29:07,960 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: took it a step forward. He might be trying to

1928
01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: turn over a new leaf. I mean he put out

1929
01:29:13,400 --> 01:29:14,800
Speaker 1: there and said, I want to be a better role

1930
01:29:14,840 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: model for my family, for my unborn son. He went

1931
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,599
Speaker 1: on to praise Queen LATORI I'm gonna get behind this, Luke.

1932
01:29:22,080 --> 01:29:24,559
Speaker 1: Maybe a guy with that many face tats, you are

1933
01:29:24,600 --> 01:29:25,960
Speaker 1: what you are at the end of the day. But

1934
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,200
Speaker 1: I'll be honest about something. We've long heard the cliche

1935
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,640
Speaker 1: that fatherhood changes a man, but we normally ascribed that

1936
01:29:33,680 --> 01:29:35,600
Speaker 1: to people in their early twenties who are living a

1937
01:29:35,600 --> 01:29:37,960
Speaker 1: wild and reckless life and then they get serious. But

1938
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 1: I've seen many a man right around your age, Luke,

1939
01:29:40,560 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: who have their first child, you know, late thirties, forty whatever,

1940
01:29:44,320 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 1: and they just become a different person. Luke. Some people

1941
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:49,800
Speaker 1: would say you have turned for the better. All right,

1942
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:53,280
Speaker 1: there's a soft side to Luke out, you know, along

1943
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: with your brushy beard and personality. But maybe there's hope.

1944
01:29:57,040 --> 01:30:00,760
Speaker 1: Maybe Mike Perry stops knocking out dudes in public establishments,

1945
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:04,320
Speaker 1: and maybe Coach Lattori has been really the change that

1946
01:30:04,360 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: he's needed all along.

1947
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:09,439
Speaker 2: Your thoughts, Listen, everybody who can be decent in this

1948
01:30:09,479 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: world deserves happiness. So if he can be decent, I

1949
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 2: certainly wish him nothing but happiness. I think it's as

1950
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:16,479
Speaker 2: simple as you can make it right, and happiness is

1951
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 2: hard to come by in this life. BC. I don't

1952
01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:20,240
Speaker 2: know if it is for you. It has been for me,

1953
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:23,160
Speaker 2: has been for many people. So if you can find it,

1954
01:30:23,240 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 2: and if you can find it because you're a good person,

1955
01:30:26,120 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 2: hey man, that's all right. Well.

1956
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:29,240
Speaker 1: I also wanted to bring up we didn't have the

1957
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: time earlier at the UFC card over the weekend. Hey,

1958
01:30:32,000 --> 01:30:34,800
Speaker 1: big win for Jennifer Maya, who like went out there,

1959
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 1: and you know, we can criticize Jojo Calderwood for taking

1960
01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:39,760
Speaker 1: that fight when she already seemed to have a title

1961
01:30:39,800 --> 01:30:42,680
Speaker 1: beout with Chefchenko locked up, and I will criticize her

1962
01:30:42,720 --> 01:30:44,599
Speaker 1: by the way for doing that. I mean, I don't

1963
01:30:44,600 --> 01:30:46,040
Speaker 1: know if she did it for the money. I don't

1964
01:30:46,080 --> 01:30:48,920
Speaker 1: know the situation, but you know, she not only lost

1965
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:51,320
Speaker 1: that fight by submission, she passed out afterwards. She did

1966
01:30:51,320 --> 01:30:53,559
Speaker 1: post a picture from the hospital saying she's okay. I

1967
01:30:53,600 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 1: do hope she's okay. Jojo an incredible interview, great person,

1968
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:00,639
Speaker 1: but she had her window of opportunity and she allowed

1969
01:31:00,680 --> 01:31:04,040
Speaker 1: it to get smashed. Luke, I never thought much about

1970
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:06,880
Speaker 1: Jennifer Maya as an elite fighter, and now let's be honest.

1971
01:31:06,920 --> 01:31:09,799
Speaker 1: This division blows. You can be elite just by winning

1972
01:31:10,120 --> 01:31:13,120
Speaker 1: one fight and looking good. But I've never seen Jennifer

1973
01:31:13,160 --> 01:31:17,440
Speaker 1: Mayah come out in that level of shape, Look that fluid, aggressive,

1974
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:20,960
Speaker 1: great technique, I mean everything about her just screamed like

1975
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,320
Speaker 1: this was the best version of her on one night.

1976
01:31:23,360 --> 01:31:26,040
Speaker 1: I was a little bit surprised that they announced right

1977
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:28,080
Speaker 1: there she will get the next title shot. But that's

1978
01:31:28,120 --> 01:31:30,280
Speaker 1: a big win, Luke. And as you can see by

1979
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:33,799
Speaker 1: me representing, you know, the Baron, the great Hen and Barraw,

1980
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:37,639
Speaker 1: former pound for pound king, our Brazilian heroes have slowly

1981
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: died off, Luke. You know, although just lost. You know,

1982
01:31:42,040 --> 01:31:45,679
Speaker 1: Andy Silva's on the way out. You know, Paulo Costa

1983
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:49,519
Speaker 1: sure has a chance to come back. But this is

1984
01:31:49,520 --> 01:31:51,479
Speaker 1: a big win for Brazil. You do you think she

1985
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:56,200
Speaker 1: has even a backside of the ball hair chance against Valentina.

1986
01:31:56,400 --> 01:32:00,679
Speaker 2: No, no, Also, but you're you're skipping Figuredo Rato one.

1987
01:32:01,479 --> 01:32:03,639
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah yeah, shout out, shout out to Figaredo.

1988
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:06,440
Speaker 1: He is the Brazilian bandit, the lone Ranger. Yes, absolutely,

1989
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:09,559
Speaker 1: in speaking of the Baron, Luke, this just in as

1990
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:12,639
Speaker 1: we record this, Hen and Brow fresh off, I think

1991
01:32:12,680 --> 01:32:22,200
Speaker 1: seventeen straight UFC losses has signed with Torah MMA. Your thoughts, Luke,

1992
01:32:22,600 --> 01:32:23,559
Speaker 1: your thoughts, I mean.

1993
01:32:23,960 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 2: You got him, You just got my thoughts.

1994
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,040
Speaker 1: Okay, you know you're Ryah. Faber once told me on

1995
01:32:28,080 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 1: my podcast that Usada is to blame for hen and

1996
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,200
Speaker 1: Brow's losing streak after dropping the title.

1997
01:32:34,640 --> 01:32:37,400
Speaker 2: Your thoughts to blame or to credit?

1998
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,679
Speaker 1: Well, that's well, that could be it too. But Luke,

1999
01:32:41,720 --> 01:32:44,160
Speaker 1: I still believe in the Baron. He's probably only twenty

2000
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 1: eight somehow. We'll see what happens, all.

2001
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 2: Right, Very good for my odds and ends. I will

2002
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:53,320
Speaker 2: go with Marcus Almeida, otherwise known as Boucheesha, is getting

2003
01:32:53,360 --> 01:32:56,800
Speaker 2: into MMA and has signed with one championship. If you

2004
01:32:56,800 --> 01:33:00,840
Speaker 2: guys don't know who Almeida is, he is I think

2005
01:33:00,920 --> 01:33:03,400
Speaker 2: certainly in the gee, but it could be even concluding Nogi,

2006
01:33:03,960 --> 01:33:07,320
Speaker 2: the winningest jiu jitsu black belt of all time, he

2007
01:33:07,360 --> 01:33:10,360
Speaker 2: has more. I think he has like thirteen world titles.

2008
01:33:10,400 --> 01:33:12,000
Speaker 2: I know he has at least ten or eleven in

2009
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:14,920
Speaker 2: the GIU. And it was interesting though, you know, I

2010
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:17,320
Speaker 2: think the reason why he switched was because at Metamorus,

2011
01:33:17,400 --> 01:33:20,280
Speaker 2: the first one, he gave Haddra Gracie the business and

2012
01:33:20,320 --> 01:33:22,560
Speaker 2: then they had a rematch years later, and it was

2013
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 2: revealed that Haddro graci was dealing with staff in that bout,

2014
01:33:25,240 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 2: and so when they had the rematch, Haddra Gracie beat

2015
01:33:27,400 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 2: the fuck out of him, double lapeled and choked him

2016
01:33:30,360 --> 01:33:32,559
Speaker 2: like it was nothing, and then he couldn't get past

2017
01:33:32,600 --> 01:33:35,680
Speaker 2: Gordon Ryan. That this year's past ADCC. So he had

2018
01:33:35,800 --> 01:33:38,679
Speaker 2: certainly a time in the sun as the top dog

2019
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:41,040
Speaker 2: in jiu jitsu, but now it's time to move on.

2020
01:33:41,120 --> 01:33:42,800
Speaker 2: It's still very very good. Obviously, he could still win

2021
01:33:42,840 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 2: the Munjias if he wanted to, I think, But in

2022
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:49,000
Speaker 2: any event, he is very very big, athletic, fast, quick wrestler,

2023
01:33:49,040 --> 01:33:51,960
Speaker 2: as you can see, built like a brick shitthouse. So

2024
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:54,120
Speaker 2: we'll see how well he can transition. But one is

2025
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 2: a decent place for him.

2026
01:33:55,040 --> 01:33:57,799
Speaker 1: I think what weight class, Oh, he'll.

2027
01:33:57,600 --> 01:34:02,360
Speaker 2: Be heavyweight, he's huge, he's huge. Okay, he'll maybe he'll

2028
01:34:02,400 --> 01:34:04,519
Speaker 2: try light heavyweight, but I doubt it because he'd have

2029
01:34:04,560 --> 01:34:06,320
Speaker 2: to give up a lot of what get like. He's

2030
01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:08,000
Speaker 2: very fast for a heavyweight.

2031
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:10,680
Speaker 1: So this news doesn't move me as much as if

2032
01:34:10,720 --> 01:34:13,799
Speaker 1: that guy from UH from Glory ever came to UFC.

2033
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:14,160
Speaker 1: What is it?

2034
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:17,280
Speaker 2: Podata Oh the dude who knocked out Autasanya.

2035
01:34:17,760 --> 01:34:20,639
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, give me that guy, all right. He touches people.

2036
01:34:20,720 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 1: They yeah, they fall. Yeah that's great, that's great.

2037
01:34:23,880 --> 01:34:26,040
Speaker 2: Uh but there you go. Also, did you see this

2038
01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:27,680
Speaker 2: news about Paige van Zand I mean it has not

2039
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:31,679
Speaker 2: been reported officially yet maybe signing with Bare Knuckle Boxing.

2040
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:35,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, God, this is like

2041
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:36,200
Speaker 1: a Tanya Harding turn.

2042
01:34:36,240 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 2: What do you do? I know? And I was like,

2043
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:41,120
Speaker 2: I was thinking to myself. I was like, why, given

2044
01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:43,240
Speaker 2: how good you aren't fighting, and given how you make

2045
01:34:43,240 --> 01:34:48,280
Speaker 2: your money, why would you sign with a sport known

2046
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 2: for slicing people's faces more than the sport that was

2047
01:34:52,200 --> 01:34:54,840
Speaker 2: also known for slicing people's faces that you were just in.

2048
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:58,280
Speaker 1: Look, this is the fighting equivalent of adult movies. This

2049
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 1: is I mean, that's it. That's it right there.

2050
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,719
Speaker 2: Is this the show girl's turn for what's their face?

2051
01:35:05,720 --> 01:35:06,599
Speaker 2: From Saved by the Bell?

2052
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,160
Speaker 1: It is. And I'd still just like nineteen ninety five,

2053
01:35:10,200 --> 01:35:11,920
Speaker 1: I'd still buy a ticket for opening night if you

2054
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 1: gave me that option, but I wouldn't feel good about.

2055
01:35:13,760 --> 01:35:17,559
Speaker 2: It, right, all right, very good? Okay, See, let's remind
