1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm Royal Oaks. Next time, on Too Many Lawyers, we

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: take on a couple of villains to sort out whether

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,960
Speaker 1: bad stuff is also illegal stuff. George Santos won a

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: seat in Congress by lying to voters, but is that

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Jews in England, he'd go to jail for that. Here

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: in America, did he commit a hate crime? Listen to

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,360

Speaker 5: MMA Live days on ESPN two.

00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 6: I know, I know, it's like I'm twenty eight years

22
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 6: old all over again.

00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 5: Right, you know how young I look, you look look

24
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 5: very young. Well that's is that not a good thing?

25
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 5: I mean, we're trying to look older these days.

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 6: I mean, no, I'm exaggerating. I'm exaggerating, but I yeah,

27
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 6: I got the little stash going, little caterpillar under the nose.

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:18,839
Speaker 4: I listen.

29
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 6: I know it's gonna be a good show because we

30
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 6: started with the herb Dean reference. So I'm excited. I'm

31
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 6: excited to get.

32
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 5: After a kid and I know, but we're gonna stay

33
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 5: on your your aesthetic here from.

34
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 6: Avoid it.

35
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 5: I mean, how does Clark feel about the trim beard?

36
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 5: I would imagine she's a fan of this look. No,

37
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 5: she likes she likes the scruff, she's not a fan

38
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 5: of the beard. Certainly not a fan of the mustache.

39
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 4: So mustache is amazing.

40
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 5: So basically, if you're just ingesting this via audio, we

41
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 5: apologize for that. Can't see my cheech and chong shirt

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 5: and you can't see ken flows mustache slash scruffy beard.

43
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 4: But I think it's a good look for you can't flow.

44
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 4: I'm sure your wife's like, man, I haven't seen your

45
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 4: face since like thet So now.

46
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 5: All right, and again, if you have young kids too,

47
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 5: what I've told you from the moment you had your daughter,

48
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 5: true one time, you need to shave the entire face

49
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: bald so you can feel the baby skin and hair

50
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 5: against your face.

51
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 6: There's nothing like it. Shit, she's not a fan of

52
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 6: the kisses. She kind of pushes, She like smashes me

53
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 6: in the face with her hand.

54
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

55
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 6: She already good striker though.

56
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, she is a good striker. Right, who calls you

57
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 5: the striker the stretch? Is that Todd striker?

58
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 6: Yeah?

59
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, So we are nineteen days out, Ladies and gentlemen

60
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: from UFC two twenty nine versus McGregor. They will go

61
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 5: face to face for the first time this Thursday in

62
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 5: New York City, which, by the way, you can see

63
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 5: on UFC dot com UFC Fight Pass five pm Eastern time.

64
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 5: That's appointment viewing as far as I'm concerned. For a

65
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 5: non sporting event, a not a live sporting event, that's

66
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 5: as close as it gets to appointment viewing for me,

67
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 5: that these two are going to go face to face.

68
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 5: Kenny and I think it'll be interesting. It's an interesting

69
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 5: visual that we really haven't had before. And it's three

70
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 5: days away, so there's something I think for people to

71
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 5: chew on here just a few weeks out.

72
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 6: Now, I'm sorry, are you talking about the main event

73
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 6: that's coming up?

74
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 4: I'm talking about you now.

75
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 5: I'm talking about the press conference this Thursday. Oh yeah,

76
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 5: I mata, but yeah, we will get to rest assured

77
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 5: you will get to the boy Aaron Anders. But I

78
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 5: just I am gonna go out of my way, yes,

79
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 5: to watch this press conference.

80
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 4: Right.

81
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,799
Speaker 5: I won't be doing pick up or gymnastics or hip

82
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 5: hop dance class with my daughters, right, like I've told

83
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 5: my wife. Five pm Eastern Time, Thursday, I'm in front

84
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 5: of a computer UFC Fight Pass watching these two face

85
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 5: off and go at it. I think that those who

86
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 5: bemoan the fact that we didn't get a world tour,

87
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 5: at least we're excited that we're gonna have something to

88
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 5: chew on here three days from me.

89
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 6: And I think just a kind of visual and an

90
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 6: update on where Connor mc gregor is at mentally. What

91
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 6: is he bringing to this fight hype wise? What is

92
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 6: he bringing as far as the mind games for Habim

93
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 6: Normaga Madoff? I really want to see his approach for

94
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 6: this one. Obviously, coming off the Mayweather fight, he hasn't

95
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 6: fought in the UFC for a little while. A lot

96
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 6: of people saying, you know, this is by far his

97
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 6: most difficult fight to date style wise. This is a

98
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 6: terrible style matchup, is what everyone's saying, and I pretty

99
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 6: much agree with that. It is a very tough matchup

100
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 6: for McGregor, But I really want to see where his

101
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 6: head is at, how he looks, what does he say

102
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 6: to Habib? How has Habib look So this is kind

103
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,840
Speaker 6: of our first look at both of these fighters as

104
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 6: they get closer here.

105
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 5: Literally, the beauty of the way Connor McGregor approaches the

106
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 5: pre fight stuff is that it's not a whole lot

107
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 5: of script, right, He's just that good in the moment,

108
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 5: so I don't think you have to worry about that

109
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: when it comes to Connor. And Kabib is very good

110
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 5: at dead panning, and you know, his English is outstanding

111
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 5: for it being a second language, So I'm excited to

112
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:50,920
Speaker 5: see what he can do with that type of showcase.

113
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 4: I don't know how.

114
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 5: Much a world tour pushes the pay per view needle

115
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 5: versus doing a one off like they're doing here in

116
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 5: New York, but this is definitely strategic and I'm excited

117
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 5: to see it. I want to talk about Moscow a

118
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,559
Speaker 5: little bit. Longo's coming up here in a few minutes.

119
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 5: He did make it home safely. He did not win

120
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 5: any extra money in Russia. Needless say, his guy did

121
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: not get the finish and he whipped on the main

122
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: event for the second straight week. But I want to

123
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: start with Alexiolinic because when we were talking last week

124
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 5: about the credentials, we pause to sort of acknowledge his

125
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 5: record going in fifty six and eleven compared to thirteen

126
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 5: and twelve for Mark Hunt. And I thought it was

127
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: interesting looking at the betting line and looking at this

128
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 5: matchup and looking at Mark Hut at forty four years

129
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 5: old and Alexiolinic going into certain fights as we've talked

130
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 5: about here, can't even really walk right, guys limping around

131
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 5: at the way. But I said, how is Alexi Olinic

132
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 5: gon to do it? Is he gonna do it again?

133
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 5: And he did it again? Man Round one submission for

134
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 5: Alexiolinic fifty seven and eleven Professional Mixed Martial Arts Man,

135
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 5: I mean, and this is a piece of UFC history

136
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 5: for him as well. If you know the man, you're

137
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 5: excited for Alexiolin.

138
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 6: I told you John told you there was gonna be

139
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 6: a stoppager in the first round. Yep, got it, Except

140
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 6: I said I was gonna be Mark Hunt. But Alexi

141
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 6: Olenik Man, I can't believe it.

142
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

143
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 6: Listen, he was limping before and then he was limping

144
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 6: a little bit more from those leg kicks from Mark Hunt.

145
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 6: It was not looking good for him.

146
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 7: Uh.

147
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 6: Mark Hunt hit him with a one two combination, a

148
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 6: jab cross that seemed like it it sent his head

149
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 6: into another stratosphere. Five seconds later, it seemed like he

150
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 6: was back in the octagon in Moscow, but he was

151
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 6: able to regroup, ended up hitting that takedown from that

152
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 6: back position, got the back and you could just see that.

153
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 6: You know, they call him the bowl constrictor for a reason.

154
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,279
Speaker 6: Everyone I've talked to over at att say, this guy

155
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 6: is just freakishly strong. It wasn't even a proper choke.

156
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 6: He just you could just see he just probably crushed

157
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 6: the esophagus of Mark Hunt. H and Mark had a tap.

158
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 6: So I was amazed by him, the fact that he

159
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 6: was able to come back from those shots and and

160
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 6: and regroup, get to that clinch position, finish it, and

161
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 6: wanted done as soon as he got in a position

162
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 6: to finish the submission. He did that and got it

163
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 6: done early against Mark Hunt, both of these guys a

164
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 6: little bit older. And Olenick with yet another submission. Was

165
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 6: that his forty seventh submission of his career. Like that,

166
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 6: it's some.

167
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 5: Ridiculous twelfth twelfth rear naked choke, forty fifth career win

168
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 5: by submission forty and a lot of these. He's in

169
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 5: the role of betting underdog. When he knocked out Jared Rochschalt,

170
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 5: I can almost assure you he was the underdog. Submitted

171
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 5: Travis Brown, he was the dog. Did lose to Curtis

172
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 5: Blades there, but again that was a doctor stoppage in

173
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: sort of a weird situation with a foul If I

174
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: am a heavyweight with any reservations on the ground or

175
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 5: any major shortcomings on the ground, Olenics the last guy's

176
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 5: name I want to see coming out of.

177
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: The blue corner.

178
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: And that's a crazy thing to say, because for Alexi Olinick,

179
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 5: there have been a lot of injuries and he's obviously

180
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: had a very extended career. You're talking about a guy

181
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 5: with coming up on seventy professional fights.

182
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: He's forty one years old. Kenny can tell you.

183
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,559
Speaker 5: You know, forty one can look pretty good on some people,

184
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 5: but this guy has had a hard time getting his

185
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: body to fight night at times, and you see him

186
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 5: moving around backstage or not moving around right and just

187
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 5: sort of one step and then the next, sort of

188
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 5: looking a little bit brittle. But when he's healthy, even

189
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 5: experiencing adversity in this fight, you know, the legs were compromise.

190
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 5: You mentioned that huge right hand, super fast coming through

191
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 5: there from Markant, and that compromised him obviously, But having

192
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 5: the wherewithal to get the fight to the ground and

193
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 5: get it done again. I just I'm not necessarily trying

194
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 5: to contextualize the career for Alexiolenok, but this is a

195
00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 5: body of work that just doesn't get the love that

196
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 5: it deserves. And win over Markant, whether it's in two

197
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 5: thousand and nine or twenty eighteen, is a feather in

198
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 5: his cap.

199
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 6: Just to have that many fights on your record in

200
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 6: mixed martial arts period, let alone not even fighting in

201
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 6: the UFC, is extremely impressive. It shows how much fight

202
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 6: this guy literally has in him, how active he's been,

203
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 6: and how he's successful he's been as a martial artist.

204
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 6: To get that many finishers. I know, listen, has he

205
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 6: fought world beaters every single fight? No, absolutely not. But

206
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 6: still to see the amount of finishes that he has

207
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,640
Speaker 6: on his record is absolutely astounding. And the fact that

208
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 6: he's still fighting at forty one years old is amazing.

209
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 6: And the fact that he has a win now over

210
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,839
Speaker 6: a legend and Mark Hunt is extremely impressive man.

211
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: And he's going to get a name ranked above him.

212
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 5: That's all that alexi Olenk was looking for and from

213
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 5: Mark Hunt. Kenny, he's five hundred now, so he's back

214
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 5: to five hundred thirteen and thirteen for his career.

215
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: We'll see where he goes at forty four years old.

216
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 5: I didn't hear his post fight interview, but it didn't

217
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 5: seem like any sort of retirement talk, right.

218
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 6: You know, Mark Hunt, he's a guy who I thought

219
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 6: looked very good in this fight. Technically, he was moving

220
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 6: really well, he seemed fast. He was a little bit

221
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 6: lazy with his hands and he was dropping him. But

222
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,559
Speaker 6: you know, that's kind of what Mark Hunt does a

223
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 6: little bit. He does drop his hands a little bit

224
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 6: looking for that knockout, kind of baiting them to come in.

225
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 6: And really he made one mistake and that was it.

226
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 6: He's never been know is a ground guy. You know,

227
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 6: the guy loves to fight. He does make a heck

228
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 6: of a lot of money, is my understanding every time

229
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,439
Speaker 6: he does fight. I don't see him fighting for another

230
00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 6: two years, but I could see him fighting for another

231
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 6: year or so and finding some success. So it's it's tough.

232
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 6: I remember talking to I think it was one of

233
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 6: the fights that we did in Australia and one of

234
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 6: his team members, one of his coaches, said, you know what,

235
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 6: no matter how well Mark Hunt trains, no matter how

236
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 6: bad he has a training camp, you never know what

237
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 6: Mark Hunt is going to show up. He could have

238
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 6: the most amazing training camp of his life and he

239
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 6: could lose in the first round. He could have a

240
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 6: terrible training camp and knock someone out in the very

241
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 6: first round, or have a classic fight over five rounds

242
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 6: and still win it. You never know, and I think

243
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 6: that's why we've seen this inconsistency for Mark Hunt and

244
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 6: unfortunate for him and good for a linic.

245
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 5: And all indications were this was an outstanding training camp

246
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 5: and a thoughtful one for the forty four year old,

247
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 5: but we'll see. Yeah, I think it's a out a

248
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 5: half a million bucks to show or something like that

249
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: for marcon So. He's going to be back for a fight,

250
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 5: but back from Russia, and we are thankful that he

251
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 5: is back safely. Is one Raymond Peter Longo. He waits

252
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 5: on hold, he waits no more. Let us get to him.

253
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: It's now time for the Ray Longo minutes.

254
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 8: And I'm gonna punch a hole in this fucking sets.

255
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 2: That's what I want, the Ray Longo Minute. John Nik

256
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 2: and Kenny Florian podcast.

257
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 5: Well, some UFC history over the weekend, folks, and ray

258
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 5: Longo was right in the thick of it. Morob Devalishvilli

259
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 5: the first UFC fighter to win a fight on Russian soil.

260
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: Take it to the bank. Congrats coach, welcome home.

261
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 8: Oh man, it's good to be back man. And I

262
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 8: couldn't be happy for a guy. You know what Morob

263
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 8: has been through with some of those shitty decisions and uh,

264
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 8: you know what they did to him in Jersey was

265
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 8: was horrible.

266
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 3: So I think we got a little redemption.

267
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,320
Speaker 8: We had to take a fucking ten hour flight to

268
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 8: do it the Moscow, but.

269
00:11:59,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 3: We got it done.

270
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 8: I mean, but that got it done, not that we

271
00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 8: could do it in our own country. We had to

272
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 8: go to Moscow to get it done.

273
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 3: But it was.

274
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 8: I was so happy for him. And I got to

275
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 8: tell you with the ship that's happened to him. I'm

276
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 8: telling you, right up until like two seconds before that bell,

277
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 8: I thought something weird was gonna happen.

278
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:18,319
Speaker 3: I just wasn't.

279
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 8: I just wanted to see him get the win and

280
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 8: get back on track where he should be. Instead of

281
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 8: being one or two, I think he should be uh,

282
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 8: you know, three and oher and and that's it, you know.

283
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 8: So I really couldn't be happy for a guy. He's

284
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 8: a class act. He's a great kid, and I hope

285
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 8: he has a great future.

286
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 4: Thankfully, No late DQ there something with a John Alay.

287
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 4: I don't.

288
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 8: I'm not kidding, man, I didn't know what I'm telling you.

289
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 8: For what's happened to this guy. If I tell you

290
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 8: a superstition on this fight, was was off the charts

291
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 8: and you know whatever. But what I what a great kid,

292
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 8: and I was. He was happy and he makes everybody happy.

293
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,839
Speaker 8: He's becoming like the uh, the lifeline of the gym.

294
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 3: He really is.

295
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 8: He's just works his ass off. Man works his ass off.

296
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: So I'm happy for him thirty to twenty five times three,

297
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 5: So he doesn't get you any richer with the finish,

298
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,720
Speaker 5: but dominant from horn to horn. How much of an

299
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 5: asset is Morob to Aljo and some of the guys

300
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 5: at or near his weight class?

301
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 8: I listened, huge is the answer? Huge ass and I

302
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 8: think doubt. Al Jo put it up and it's really goes.

303
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 8: You want to know how I get my cardio up?

304
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 8: And he put up a picture of Morab. Morob is

305
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 8: relentless with him. They had such a good training camp

306
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 8: and we're throw in this other kid, Dennis. You know,

307
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 8: we call him Bazook that he's fighting on the chel

308
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 8: Sign and Fador undercart and at the Caliseum over here.

309
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 8: But he had such great sparring points said man, dude,

310
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 8: he pushes everybody.

311
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're getting to ring with him.

312
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 8: Man, if your guess tank isn't in order, you're gonna

313
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 8: get screwed. Because he he can go and go and

314
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 8: go and go and go man. And that's I think

315
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 8: he was perfect for Aljo to Cody's Stamen fight, and uh,

316
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 8: you know it just it was it was good. We

317
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 8: got a good, really good chemistry for like one fifty

318
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 8: five and under overhit it. We're just loaded with amates

319
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 8: and pros that are really really good. There's some amages

320
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 8: that are really nasty at one fifty five too.

321
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: So we got a good thing.

322
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 8: It's it's the gym is it's it's so positive for

323
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 8: the gym. And yeah, we're on a good roll and

324
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 8: it's it's it's good to be a winner. Man.

325
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, Ray, I was gonna ask you, well, what does

326
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,080
Speaker 6: this do for you? And what does this do for you, know,

327
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 6: Chris Wibman for example, who who's coming up next?

328
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 5: Now?

329
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 6: You guys have a bunch of momentum. Now in the gym,

330
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 6: there's good vibes, good energy. You guys are getting the wins.

331
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 3: Uh.

332
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 6: What does this do for you? And what does this

333
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 6: do for Chris going forward?

334
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 8: I think look for me, it puts me in a

335
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 8: really good spot because you know, it's like when a

336
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 8: guy loses it like I, like I told Morob, if

337
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 8: you fight to the best of your ability and you lose,

338
00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 8: there's there's nothing wrong with that. But you know, when

339
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 8: you you lose and you have some controversy and all

340
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 8: of that shit, it takes like everybody down because then

341
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 8: you start putting energy towards that, which you shouldn't even

342
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 8: have to do. But there's nothing like momentum. And when

343
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 8: you have good guys that everybody loves winning and winning

344
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 8: like that, it only makes everybody stock go up and

345
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 8: they just motivated to train more. Even when we were

346
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 8: in Dallas with al Joe, like, aya Quinta was like,

347
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 8: I'm dying to get back in there, Like he was

348
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 8: so motivated by that. He was like, you know, he

349
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 8: wanted to fight tomorrow. So I mean, it's a huge

350
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 8: I'm saying it's a huge, huge thing, huge for everybody

351
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 8: because when you're happy, you're training better and everything's positive,

352
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 8: get rid of their negativity. All good stuff, man, great

353
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 8: great stuff for the gym, great stuff for everybody that's fighting.

354
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 8: And we had a kid, Dylan Mantello win a huge

355
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 8: fight for a championship as an amateur that aya Quinta

356
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,000
Speaker 8: Tony is one of the best fights he ever saw.

357
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 8: So Friday night he will shout out to him, and

358
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 8: you know, it's everybody. It's not just these guys that

359
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 8: we're talking about. There's a lot of other guys.

360
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: That are winning.

361
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 8: And I think we win uh four and one the

362
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 8: week before. So yeah, it's it's just the gym's the

363
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 8: gym's kind of on fire, which is great.

364
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 5: So I know there's a longer conversation to be had

365
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: in terms of the ebb and flow of a gym.

366
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 5: And I don't want to make you recall the time

367
00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 5: when it was like at its worst, but you know,

368
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 5: there have to be times when al Jamaine Sterling and

369
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 5: Ali quint aren't walking through that door and you're wondering

370
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 5: maybe when the next talent is gonna come in. I mean,

371
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 5: you've been very fortunate to have high profile guys and

372
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 5: train and develop a UFC champion, but there have to

373
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: be times where you're looking around thinking like, fuck, man,

374
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 5: I need to get some talent in here, or am

375
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 5: I reaching No?

376
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 8: No, I look, I'm gonna live and die by the

377
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 8: guys I have. I'm never ever looking to get talent here.

378
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 8: We never did that, so that wasn't it. But there

379
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 8: are ebbs and flows and plateaus, and I think as

380
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 8: a coach that's what you have to realize.

381
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: You just do what you do, believe in what you're doing,

382
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 3: and everything will take its course. You know what I mean.

383
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 8: You're gonna have You're gonna hit some some lows, but

384
00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 8: you know they're not gonna last long. It's like, you know,

385
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 8: it's like a baseball he might get in the batting slump,

386
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 8: but if he stays true to what he believes and

387
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 8: he has the talent, he will come out of that

388
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 8: and make up for it. And I think that's it

389
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 8: because I talk to other coaches and everybody's in the

390
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 8: same category. Some of your top guys lose. It's it's

391
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 8: it's hard to deal with, man, But you know, again,

392
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 8: if you are doing the best you you can do.

393
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,880
Speaker 8: And like even for me, like if I know I'm

394
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 8: on point training, you know what I mean, Like I'm

395
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 8: not doing a movie, I'm not putting my time somewhere else.

396
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 3: Everything's good, you know, And that's what you have to

397
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 3: keep in mind.

398
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 4: It's it's crazy, but you know how Hollywood, Paul, I guess,

399
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: but you know you want to.

400
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 3: What I'm saying is that everybody's out to do their

401
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 3: own thing.

402
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 8: Eventually, had there life after everything for these guys, you know,

403
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 8: so for everybody you have to keep you have to

404
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 8: just keep that in mind, like you know, just win

405
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 8: your fights, train hard, and it's going to be a

406
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 8: short window and then do whatever you want after that.

407
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,680
Speaker 3: So yeah, but we've hit off you know, obviously, you

408
00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: know we've hit off valleys. So but you know we're good.

409
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's the same old saying.

410
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 8: You know, you know you want to hoist the guy

411
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 8: up on your shoulders, but you want to be a

412
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 8: safety net for him when he falls.

413
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: To so you can get him back up there again.

414
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 5: So what can you tell us about the atmosphere? You've

415
00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 5: been at a lot of these UFC live events. It

416
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 5: was a big crowd, it seemed pretty festive. Did you

417
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 5: stick around after Morob's fight? I mean, give me something

418
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 5: on a Monday.

419
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 3: Very spooky.

420
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,119
Speaker 8: If you if you go to Russia, go with an

421
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 8: interpret That's what I'm gonna say, because nobody's gonna help you.

422
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 3: How listen, I want to.

423
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:35,120
Speaker 8: Give a shout out there as a girl I think

424
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 8: she just started with the UFC Natalia. This girl is

425
00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 8: an angel. And I'll tell you she fell out of

426
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,119
Speaker 8: this guy right on top of me and Sarah because

427
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 8: without huh, me and me and Sarah are still in Russia.

428
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 9: I will.

429
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 3: She does.

430
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 8: She still doesn't get the magnitude she played because she's

431
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 8: she's Russian. I think she's you know, grew up in Estonia,

432
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 8: but she speaks Russian. We're not making it out of

433
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 8: there without I mean, and she thinks it's a joke.

434
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 8: But once I found out, she spoke rush and I said, listen,

435
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 8: we're like two infants. Please don't leave us in the airport,

436
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So and we got up

437
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 8: to the h John, I'll tell you this is horrible.

438
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 6: You know.

439
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 8: Well, while we're there for three days, Matt's like, you know,

441
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,480

442
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 8: twenty in the afternoon. So then we let it go

443
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 8: because they give you like seventeen hundred hours. It's like

444
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 8: military time. So I'm saying, maybe his wife's not making

445
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 8: the connection with that, or she's screwing something up, you know.

00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 8: have never even found where to get the ticket, trust me.

468
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 8: And luckily there was seats on the plane. I said, dude,

469
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,840
Speaker 8: I don't care what it is, just let's get on

470
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 8: that train. We gotta we gotta get out of here.

471
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 8: But I get on the plane. But uh yeah, So

472
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 8: she walked us through everything. And if we don't have

473
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,639
Speaker 8: somebody speaking Russia where I'm saying, we're not making that for.

474
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 6: Well, as long as they had good Wi Fi in

475
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 6: the airport. Then we could have done the Anak and

476
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 6: Florian podcast.

477
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 8: Yeah that's all man. Let me tell you something I

478
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 8: would have been, Kenny. I would have been miserable if

479
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 8: I tell you now, imagine I have to deal with him.

480
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 8: They're telling me missed his flight. I'm the guy responsible

481
00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,680
Speaker 8: for booking his ticket. I'm saying, if Natalia is not there,

482
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 8: we might be rolling.

483
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 2: Around, right.

484
00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 4: It was oh yeah, oh no, no it was not.

485
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 3: It was.

486
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 8: It was not not pretty, man, But everything worked out.

487
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 8: We had a great right home. We got the victory,

488
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 8: and you know it was good. But yeah, no, it was.

489
00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 9: Uh.

490
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 8: Look, we had the pleasure of some of Morob's friends

491
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 8: that lived there, so they took us around, so we

492
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 8: got treated that. The hospitality was second to none.

493
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 3: So that was good. But it's a tough place if

494
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: you're by yourself. I guarantee you that, and I do

495
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 3: all you.

496
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 6: One hundred bucks. I didn't think they'd be able to

497
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 6: get out of Russia, Sarah and Launo.

498
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: But Kenny, Kenny, that was a good bet for you.

499
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 4: I thought I had it. I thought I had because it.

500
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 3: Wasn't by design, it was pure luck.

501
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 8: So I'm telling your brad Natalia, Come on, Natalia, the

502
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,479
Speaker 8: kid was phenomenal, water sweetheart.

503
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 6: But she lost me a hundred.

504
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 3: But I'll say this on Live. Yeah, it'll be the

505
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 3: last time I'm traveling with Sarah. I don't think I did.

506
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 3: My heart can not take it.

507
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: You know, the guy just gives his ship about absolutely nothing.

508
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: He doesn't care.

509
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:20,240
Speaker 8: And if you don't give a fuck, I swear to God,

510
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:22,600
Speaker 8: I'm saying this right now. That guy's living to about

511
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 8: one hundred and eighteen.

512
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 3: You can't get rid of them. He doesn't care.

513
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 9: Wow.

514
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, logistics not necessarily his strong suit, vintage to last thing,

515
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 5: last thing unless you got something on the way out.

516
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 5: I mean, we've let you shout out all your local

517
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 5: guys already. So did you go back in and watch

518
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,640
Speaker 5: any of these fights, because there was one fight in question,

519
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,880
Speaker 5: the Cbe Dollarway fight, in which there was a late

520
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: referee stoppage, at least in my opinion by Herb Dean

521
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 5: curious if you saw that or the main event.

522
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,479
Speaker 8: Uh, well, we got out of it, but I did

523
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 8: see the They wouldn't let us back in, so we

524
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 8: had the green room. But then when the bus came,

525
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 8: because it was on Wi Fi. We could watch it,

526
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 8: you know, on our phone. So we we got out

527
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 8: of there. But I did see that fight. I got

528
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 8: to tell you, man, I'm saying only because of the

529
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 8: atmosphere and everything, it isn't gonna make sense to a

530
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 8: lot of people. I give the guy a pass, I'm saying.

531
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 8: I'm saying he might No, no, no, no, I'm not

532
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 8: saying it because of that. John, I know, I know

533
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 8: what you're saying. But there were a couple of people

534
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,720
Speaker 8: in attendance. He might have saved everybody.

535
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 4: Oh okay, all right, I see you know what I'm saying.

536
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 8: I mean, you know, okay, somebody, because somebody's got a

537
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 8: gun to your head, you might do some ship you

538
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 8: might not do.

539
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,879
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, look, it was not right. I saw it.

540
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, he's got to stop it. But uh,

541
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 3: it was.

542
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 7: It was.

543
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 3: It was strange. Man. We weren't in Dallas anymore. I

544
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 3: can tell you that well.

545
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, And and I can empathize too, you know, having

546
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,640
Speaker 5: been to a lot of different places over the years,

547
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 5: internationally and in Brazil. I remember one time sprinting through

548
00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 5: an airport and thank god we have had pahoopa there

549
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 5: to help navigate the language, right, But I remember, and

550
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 5: I forget who the fighters were sprinting through an airport

551
00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 5: in Salpolo with a losing fighter whose face is like

552
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 5: shut right, and the dudes are sprint trying to get her.

553
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,360
Speaker 5: I mean, I've never felt worse for a human being,

554
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 5: you know. I mean, I can't necessarily say that, but yeah,

555
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 5: so I'm glad that Natalia to the rescue.

556
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,959
Speaker 4: I wonder if she feels as good about you as

557
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 4: you do her. Probably not, but.

558
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 3: One hundred she shouldn't either.

559
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,959
Speaker 8: But I'm telling you that's that's where she's an angel.

560
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:34,239
Speaker 8: And she was stuck with us who we can't get

561
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 8: through an airport in the US, we can't get from

562
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 8: the Dallas was a nightmare trip, you know what I mean?

563
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 8: So put us in Russia. But you know, I'm gonna

564
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 8: tell you a funny story. Years ago, I take a

565
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: guy up to Canada to fight kickboxing for a championship fight.

566
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 8: And we flew up there and there were a couple

567
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 8: of guys from Staten Island and they were like, you know,

568
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:57,199
Speaker 8: we saved the money we drove up.

569
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 3: You know, we saved this, We saved that. You know,

570
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: my guy wins.

571
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 8: This guy gets annihilated, broken the orbital socket. It just

572
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 8: gets hammit. And now they got to drive back like

573
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 8: twenty you know whatever, ten hours this thing. You know,

574
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 8: that's like almost like you're saying the guy's beat up

575
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 8: and now we you wish you were home as quick

576
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 8: as possible.

577
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 3: You gotta sit in the car at ten twelve hours.

578
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 3: That's horrible.

579
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 8: So I kind of when you said that kind of

580
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 8: made me remind But they were so happy they saved

581
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 8: the money. But in the end it was not a

582
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 8: big savings. But if we got stuck in Russia, man,

583
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 8: it would have been I don't know, and you know,

584
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 8: we know a couple of people, so I don't think

585
00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 8: it would have been bad.

586
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 3: But when she said he missed that flight, I was like, wow,

587
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 3: this is crazy.

588
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,360
Speaker 5: All right man, man, thank you for the time. Congrats

589
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 5: on a big win. Keep the train rolling. By the way,

590
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 5: the odds are out for Chris Wadman and Luke rockold

591
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 5: twenty If he can tell.

592
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 4: Me who's favored, Who's what?

593
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:54,399
Speaker 3: What's up twenty bucks?

594
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 4: If you can tell me who's who's the betting favorite?

595
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 4: Rock hold to what.

596
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:00,040
Speaker 3: I would.

597
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 6: I don't know.

598
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,159
Speaker 3: I probably probably made rock Hole the favorite. There you go.

599
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 5: You didn't make any money in Russia. There's twenty bucks.

600
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 5: You're up to two hundred and twenty dollars.

601
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 3: Wait, hold on, Hunt was winning that damn fight. I know, Kenny.

602
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 8: I was looking at that going only cry he actually

603
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 8: won the bet.

604
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,680
Speaker 3: I thought he was gonna win. I mean, the guy

605
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 3: was blimping. I know, what the hell did he do?

606
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 3: The fixers in We were winning that bet, Kenny.

607
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 6: It's in Russia, That's all I gotta say, Right.

608
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 8: Kenny, trust me, Herb Dean might have saved everybody. I'm

609
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 8: saying he saved everybody.

610
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 6: Ah.

611
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 5: Many people say we don't disagree enough on this podcast,

612
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 5: right right.

613
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 4: I disagree with you quite a bit, my friend.

614
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 8: But I'll oh, I thought there was a text. If

615
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 8: I said something about you know the KKK, Kenny would laugh.

616
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,639
Speaker 8: I'm like, why is this guy gotta bring Telloggs into it?

617
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 7: Now?

618
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: The guy doesn't like Cereal? I mean, what is this Kenny?

619
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 9: Uh?

620
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:55,440

00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 8: This guy's got a prom. Kenny's gonna lift. I mentioned

624
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 8: something about kelloggs. Somebody helped me out of you. Does

625
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 8: anybody have a fucking cane? They could just drag me

626
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 8: off the station?

627
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 6: Get the music?

628
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 3: Is there anything drum rolling?

629
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 6: Playing the Longo quote?

630
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 8: I feel like I'm on then show and nobody's gone.

631
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,240
Speaker 5: There's a little Ray red button on your cellphone. Goodness

632
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 5: that anytime, and we talking to you next Monday. Thank you,

633
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:37,920
Speaker 5: my man.

634
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 3: All right, guys, great man, thank you.

635
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 4: The NFL boycott continues. Wow, Ray long ago? So uh yeah.

636
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 5: The airport stuff can be no joke, right, and you

637
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 5: try to be in a position where you got your

638
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 5: itinerary lockdown and everything else. But man, I I wish

639
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 5: I could remember who the fighters were, but your heart

640
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 5: just goes out to them. Right that there was some confusion.

641
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 5: We were maybe booked on a different flight, and you know,

642
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 5: fifteen or twenty of us a UFC pack sprinting through

643
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 5: the sal Polo airport and were not for Pahompa and

644
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 5: his ability to navigate things in Portuguese, we might still

645
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 5: be there. Not unlike Longgo in Russia. So glad to

646
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 5: see Ray get home and hopefully seebe Dollaway is home safely. Kenny,

647
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 5: I want to spend another minute on this and say

648
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 5: what you want about Longo and his conspiracy theories and

649
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: all of that. But rustam, excuse me, Khalid Murtaza Leve,

650
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 5: I have never called his fight. That's why I'm iffy

651
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 5: on the pronunciation. Kalai Khalid Murtaza Leve defeated Cebee Dollaway

652
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 5: TKO referee stoppage which came at the end of round two.

653
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 5: It should have come at least, in my opinion, at

654
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:48,120
Speaker 5: some point in that second round. Okay, So if Big

655
00:28:48,200 --> 00:28:50,800
Speaker 5: John McCarthy disagrees with this, then I don't even know

656
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 5: what to say, right But I thought this was such

657
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 5: a gratuitously late stoppage that I led the goddamn podcast

658
00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 5: with it today. Ceebee Dollaway is a veteran of this sport,

659
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:04,080
Speaker 5: and I think anyone who has watched the UFC for

660
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 5: a few years. Kenny can look at the fighter no

661
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 5: longer really intelligently defending himself. Say what you want about

662
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:15,000
Speaker 5: the power coming from those strikes. But CB had effectively

663
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 5: given up. He was looking for the referee to get

664
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 5: him out of the fight. He was not intelligently defending himself.

665
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 5: When you see we've seen it with Frank Meher and guys.

666
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 5: When their arms go out there, they're showing you that

667
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 5: they want you to bail them out right, and Herbdan

668
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 5: failed to do so. To me, I just hate seeing

669
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 5: this shit and people on the other side of it,

670
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 5: you know. I just in this instance, I just can't

671
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,719
Speaker 5: see that side of it at all.

672
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 6: I didn't get it either. Listen, he wasn't defending himself

673
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 6: for a long period of time. And I think right

674
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 6: around the twenty five second mark you see Dolloway basically

675
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 6: extend his legs. He's flattened on the floor, face down.

676
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 6: He's protecting himself like this. He was already in that

677
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 6: position essentially more on his knees or on his side

678
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 6: thirty seconds maybe before that, and around the twenty five

679
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 6: second mark his body is just flattened out and he's

680
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 6: protecting his head. What else are you waiting for? That

681
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 6: wasn't enough. Herbdean waits till the end of the round.

682
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 6: I mean, what are you doing that if you're not

683
00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 6: able to read body language as a referee and you've

684
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 6: been doing it for that long. I don't know what

685
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 6: to say, man. Because Herbdean is a good guy, and

686
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 6: he's been around the sport for a long time. He's

687
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 6: contributed a lot to this sport. So I hate criticizing

688
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,920
Speaker 6: referees in general because it is a very, very tough job.

689
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 6: But when you're putting another guy's life at risk, I mean,

690
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,959
Speaker 6: the number one job of the referee is to protect

691
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 6: the fighter. Was he protecting the fighter?

692
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 7: No?

693
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 5: No? I mean, and I'm the first one to go

694
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 5: up to herbdan after an event when there's some sort

695
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 5: of controversy and say, nice job. If I thought he

696
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 5: did a nice job, and if I don't, maybe I

697
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 5: don't seek out that conversation. But I know he's one

698
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 5: of the best in the game. I think he worked

699
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 5: the main event this night if I'm not mistaken as well,

700
00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 5: and he's going to still get high profile assignments, and

701
00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,080
Speaker 5: as far as I'm concerned, relative to everybody else, he

702
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 5: deserves them. But in this instance, right protect the fighter

703
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 5: in more ways than one, and he basically set him

704
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 5: up for the maximum possible amount of humiliation, right like

705
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 5: asking him to get back to the stool, and then

706
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 5: so he basically the narrative became that sort of a

707
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 5: CB had to really give up, right like if you

708
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 5: can't get up to the stool and you know I'm

709
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 5: gonna have no choice but to stop the fight, like

710
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 5: throw a guy a bone.

711
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: Man, I just hated watching that stuff.

712
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 5: And you don't want to take away from the winning

713
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 5: fighter who had a dominant performance. But I mean you

714
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 5: just when you're seeing a guy who is ubiquitously regarded

715
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 5: as one of the best reps in the game and

716
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 5: he's looking at that and not choosing to stop it.

717
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 5: In twenty eighteen, it's like, man, where are we a

718
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 5: couple other things on Moscow before I move on to

719
00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 5: some other things. Ryan Hall and Bjpen I want to

720
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 5: get to that. I know you guys broke the news

721
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,840
Speaker 5: on UFC tonight time permitting. Also, we didn't talk at

722
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 5: all about the chef Chenko Montano stuff because there were

723
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,760
Speaker 5: so many great headlines coming out of UFC two twenty

724
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 5: eight that we didn't get to that. But yam Bohova's

725
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,080
Speaker 5: a big win over Nikita Krilov with an triangle choke there.

726
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 5: Shamil Abdurakimov also on the main card, over Andre Arolovsky

727
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,000
Speaker 5: by unanimous decision for y'all, Beohovich Kenny. This was his

728
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:09,680
Speaker 5: fifth consecutive win in this light heavyweight division that is

729
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 5: seemingly wide open, if not being held up right now.

730
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 5: And I know the rumblings about a John Jones return

731
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 5: and what Daniel Cormier gonna do, is he gonna vacate

732
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,120
Speaker 5: Alexander Gustafson is lurking, But Behovich is right back in

733
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 5: the mix. Here the win over Jimmy Manua and then

734
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:26,120
Speaker 5: this one over a very talented and dangerous Nikita Krilov.

735
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 5: This is big for Poland for Buhovich, and you can

736
00:32:29,640 --> 00:32:32,239
Speaker 5: you can put this one right up there as one

737
00:32:32,280 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 5: of the bigger wins I would think of his career.

738
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 6: I agree, Kriloff is very tough, moves very well, very

739
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,160
Speaker 6: fast for the division, and the fact that not only

740
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,040
Speaker 6: that he beat him, but he got a finish over

741
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:45,200
Speaker 6: him is saying a lot. So for Blokhovich, I agree.

742
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,600
Speaker 6: I think this is established as this establishes himself as

743
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,800
Speaker 6: an elite two oh fiver once again. And you know,

744
00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 6: I wouldn't be surprised to see him in a possible

745
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 6: title shot sometime next year.

746
00:32:57,840 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think one or two wins would would put

747
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 5: him in prime position. But he's definitely got a big

748
00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 5: one next. All right, Ryan Hall, your buddy Ryan Hall.

749
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 5: And if you don't know Ryan Hall, Kenny can certainly

750
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 5: give you his background as well as anyone. But one

751
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 5: thing that has sort of befuddled some who maybe don't

752
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:14,360
Speaker 5: know the guy, and we've had him on our show

753
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 5: is why he isn't competing regularly in mixed martial arts.

754
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 5: And this is I don't know if I should call

755
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 5: him a renaissance man, Kenny, but he's got a lot

756
00:33:21,520 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 5: of different irons in the fire. He's a very smart

757
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 5: guy with a lot of different things going on. This

758
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 5: will be his first fight since twenty sixteen, and obviously

759
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 5: fighting BJ Penn at whatever stage of his career was

760
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 5: enough to get Ryan Hall, you know, up off the couch,

761
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 5: so to speak, even though I know, I know he's

762
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 5: not sitting on the couch.

763
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's right. I mean, Ryan trains year round. He

764
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 6: lives the life of a martial artists. He's training all

765
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 6: the time. He is in the pursuit of just improving

766
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 6: himself every single day. So he's been training consistently, but

767
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,640
Speaker 6: he has been looking for a challenge. He has been looking,

768
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 6: he's been asking for a top ten guy. You know,

769
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 6: he hasn't gotten that fighter, and and and then some

770
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,120
Speaker 6: of the fights that he wanted that were offered to

771
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 6: other guys, they were turned down for whatever reason to

772
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,400
Speaker 6: to not fight Ryan. So uh, I think when this

773
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:15,640
Speaker 6: opportunity came up originally, I think they were talking about

774
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,439
Speaker 6: fighting at one hundred and forty five pounds, uh. BJ

775
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 6: Penn said he wanted to fight at one fifty five.

776
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 6: And for a guy in Ryan Hall who has competed

777
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 6: in jiu jitsu, this guy's probably has had, you know,

778
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 6: over a thousand matches. He was competing every single weekend

779
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 6: for a few years. So you know, when you're that

780
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 6: heavily involved in ju jitsu, of course you're gonna look

781
00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:38,560
Speaker 6: up to the first American Brazilian juitsu black belt world

782
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 6: champion at BJ Penn. He was able to do what

783
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 6: no other person had done at that time. And I

784
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 6: think when you when you see a guy who's a

785
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 6: legend in b J Penn, a guy who has accomplished

786
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 6: so much in jujitsu, a guy who was accomplished so

787
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:53,080
Speaker 6: much in the sport while it is at the end

788
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 6: of his career, I think it was interesting enough of

789
00:34:55,800 --> 00:34:58,399
Speaker 6: a challenge for Ryan to take this fight and want

790
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 6: to take this fight despite him not being a top

791
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 6: ten guy, and I think the fact that it's up

792
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 6: aweight class is yet another challenge for him, and that's

793
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 6: why he's in this is for the challenge and for

794
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 6: BJ Penn. I know that he said, oh, I won't

795
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,800
Speaker 6: take a fight unless I think I could win it.

796
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 6: Maybe he was joking about that, but at the same time,

797
00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 6: I'm sure Ryan's taking that very seriously and and I'm

798
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,759
Speaker 6: sure BJ Penn is as well. My understanding is that

799
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 6: he's in real right now training with Team Novuniel, and

800
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:31,320
Speaker 6: I think that's a sign that, you know, BJ is

801
00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 6: taking this very seriously and is looking for his.

802
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 5: Win, and he has been training regularly Bj Penn. He's

803
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 5: been a fixture at these UFC events really all year long,

804
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 5: dating to February or March. We've seen BJ Penn at

805
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 5: these events with Jason Perrillou, training with a lot of

806
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 5: the fighters, you know, mentoring Jose Aldo a little bit,

807
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 5: and even helping Aldo with some of the non training

808
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 5: aspects of getting ready for a big fight recently before

809
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 5: his fight with Jeremy Stevens. So BJ Penn has been omnipresent,

810
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 5: to say the least, and we'll see how it goes

811
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 5: for him against Ryan Hall. It just struck me as

812
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 5: interesting because I think Ryan Hall, as you know I do,

813
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,400
Speaker 5: is a very tricky matchup for a lot of these guys,

814
00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 5: and kind of as a Ryan Hall fan, would like

815
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 5: to see how far he can take it in mixed

816
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 5: martial arts, even though for one reason or another, as

817
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 5: you effectively outline, those big fights haven't materialized. But I

818
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,800
Speaker 5: would really like to see Ryan Hall in there in

819
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 5: twenty nineteen with respect to Bjpenn against a real viable

820
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: top fifteen guy, to see how Ryan Hall's very distinct,

821
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 5: very tricky game would hold up.

822
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,320
Speaker 6: But I agree there yet I agree, and if he

823
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 6: gets to win John, I hope that they do give

824
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,120
Speaker 6: him a top guy because that is going to get

825
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,600
Speaker 6: Ryan to compete consistently and get those fights and put

826
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,880
Speaker 6: on great fights as well. And I think that for

827
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,919
Speaker 6: the jiu jitsu community, I know they are very much

828
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,879
Speaker 6: behind this bj Penn and Ryan Hall fight. Oh im sure,

829
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 6: and they've just gone nuts about the possibilities that if

830
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 6: this does go to the ground, that we are in

831
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 6: for a treat, a fascinating, fascinating matchup for sure.

832
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:00,719
Speaker 4: Well, don't.

833
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 5: I mean, I wonder what Hall is looking to get

834
00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,439
Speaker 5: out of this, right, because I think if he wants

835
00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 5: a jiu jitsu match, I think he can dictate that

836
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 5: that happens potentially.

837
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 6: You know, I agree. I don't think bj is going

838
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:13,839
Speaker 6: to be afraid to go to the ground against anybody.

839
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 5: Right, Yeah, oh man, fascinating stuff, and I imagine for

840
00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:20,439
Speaker 5: you you feel like you're right in the thick of things.

841
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:20,920
Speaker 4: Obviously.

842
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,240
Speaker 5: You know, it's a guy who's bought Pjpenn for the title,

843
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 5: and that'll get Kempflo out of bed. Ladies and gentlemen,

844
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 5: Ryan haul Bjpenn coming up some point in December, is

845
00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 5: that right?

846
00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:31,680
Speaker 6: Maybe the end of December is my understanding yet December thirtieth, Yeah, all.

847
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 5: Right, very quickly on this whole UFC Women's Flyweight Championship

848
00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 5: picture from UFC two twenty eight. Unless we have Kevin Ioli,

849
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 5: I don't think we have him yet.

850
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 4: So I wanted to sort of talk about this.

851
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 5: But UFC two twenty eight was so great in terms

852
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 5: of what happened inside the octagon with Tyron Woodley and

853
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,279
Speaker 5: everybody on down that we didn't even mention the name

854
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 5: Valentina Chipchenko nor Nico Montagno on our UFC two twenty.

855
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 4: Eight recap a week ago.

856
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 5: So I wrote a tweet after Nico Montagno was deemed

857
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 5: unfit to compete, and I received a lot of venom

858
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,879
Speaker 5: for this tweet, so I'm just going to read it here.

859
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 5: Fighting Valentina Chevchenko is no picnic, but the notion that

860
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 5: champion Nico Montangno was scared to fight her is absurd.

861
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 4: We sat down a Nico yesterday.

862
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:14,560
Speaker 5: She was confident, thoughtful of picture of focus, not sure

863
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,400
Speaker 5: what went wrong, but let's give the athletes some respect.

864
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 5: And I think a lot of people took that statement

865
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 5: and went and ran with it. And she didn't compete, obviously,

866
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 5: so there is some argument to be made that I

867
00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:28,800
Speaker 5: don't have a leg to stand on in terms of

868
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,439
Speaker 5: defending Nico Montangno. I was really just trying to point

869
00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 5: out the fact that she was not scared to fight

870
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 5: Valentina Chevchenko, and she was about to realize far and

871
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 5: away the biggest payday of her professional life, by the way,

872
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 5: a payday that most likely will not come around again

873
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,319
Speaker 5: as a champion, seemingly receiving some sort of pay per

874
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:52,440
Speaker 5: viewpoint or a champion's pay. So I don't disagree with

875
00:38:52,520 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 5: the UFC for having her vacate the title. I think

876
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 5: they have been very patient with her in terms of

877
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 5: her health. She has a lot of issues. She has

878
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 5: on our thritic foot that even when she landed in

879
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,880
Speaker 5: Dallas swelled up immediately, So she's dealing with a lot

880
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,280
Speaker 5: of issues outside the octagon.

881
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 4: The division must go on. They can't rely on her.

882
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 5: I get all of that, but Montano was confident going

883
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 5: into that fight and was excited to have an opportunity

884
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 5: to prove a lot of people wrong, and excited to

885
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 5: have the opportunity to make money. And her body just

886
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 5: continues to fail her. And sometimes I think it's hard

887
00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 5: for me being so in it that I do get

888
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,800
Speaker 5: attached to these fighters, Kenny, and when I see everybody

889
00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 5: taking shots at them when they're down, I just can't

890
00:39:30,120 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 5: help but publicly come to their defense, perhaps if it's

891
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,359
Speaker 5: against my better judgment at times.

892
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 6: Well, listen, I agree with you. I don't think that

893
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 6: she was afraid to fight chef Chenko. I don't believe

894
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:42,439
Speaker 6: that there's any fighter that is afraid to fight another one.

895
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 6: I think that there's hesitation in being fearful of losing,

896
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 6: but fearful of another fighter than what are you doing

897
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,279
Speaker 6: in the sport. So I'm not going to take that

898
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:56,720
Speaker 6: line of thinking at all. I think you are absolutely correct,

899
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,360
Speaker 6: But I do think that the UFC you should have

900
00:40:00,360 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 6: stripped her here, and the reason for that is my understanding.

901
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 6: She showed up on fight week, okay, at one hundred

902
00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 6: and forty four pounds, which is well above the eight

903
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 6: percent limit above her weight, So you just can't have

904
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 6: You can't be a professional fighter and you can't be

905
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 6: a champion if you're showing up that heavy on fight week.

906
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 6: I mean, that can't happen. So of course her body

907
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 6: is going to fail her. I feel terrible that she

908
00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 6: wasn't able to fight. I feel terrible for chev Chenko

909
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 6: though as well. You know, there's two women who had

910
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,680
Speaker 6: to train for this fight, and when you put that

911
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 6: much work in and you get a lazy opponent who

912
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 6: comes in way heavy and then isn't able to fight,

913
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:45,440
Speaker 6: I think it's a terrible thing, and it's something that

914
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 6: I don't think the organization can afford to happen again.

915
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 6: So I mean, it's it sucks. It sucks that they

916
00:40:54,160 --> 00:40:56,600
Speaker 6: have to take the belt away from her, but I

917
00:40:56,719 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 6: do think it's warranted.

918
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, No, I think it was the right course of action.

919
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:02,120
Speaker 5: And you're right for Valentina Chepchanko. You gotta feel for

920
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 5: that side. But her next fight will be for the

921
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 5: UFC Women's Flyway Championship and you can be sure she

922
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:09,040
Speaker 5: will be the betting favorite that night. Whenever it comes

923
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 5: to pass. But today is the one hundred and seventy

924
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: first show for the Anak and Florian Podcast, and now

925
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 5: with us on the guest line is a man who

926
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 5: we had the foresight to book on episode number two

927
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,520
Speaker 5: all the way back in April of twenty fifteen. I

928
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 5: think he told us at that time, Kenflo, we should

929
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 5: change the name of the show to the Floria and

930
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,759
Speaker 5: an annec Podcast. Haven't done that yet, but this man

931
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 5: is the two thousand and seven winner of the Nat

932
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,920
Speaker 5: Fleischer Award for Career Excellence at Boxing Journalism from Yahoo Sports.

933
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,760
Speaker 5: The venerable Kevin Ioli is with us, k I appreciate

934
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 5: your time, my friend.

935
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 4: How are you today?

936
00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 7: I am doing great, John. You know, I was thinking,

937
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,359
Speaker 7: after listening to these other podcasts, I think we should

938
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 7: call it the ANNIC Podcast.

939
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 6: What's yourself? Kevin?

940
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 5: Oh sorry, then, so so did I see you and

941
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 5: your wife at a Vegas Golden Knights preseason game last night?

942
00:41:59,160 --> 00:41:59,760
Speaker 4: Is that accurate?

943
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:01,240
Speaker 7: That was accurate.

944
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 6: We had a.

945
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 7: Blast, it was. I posted a couple of things on Facebook.

946
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 7: Going into the arena, the band was playing, the cheerleaders

947
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 7: were chatting, and the lobby was stilled with people channing

948
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 7: go Knights go, and we were laughing. As they opened

949
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 7: the game up and the Knights were coming out of

950
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 7: a couple of the new players that were free agent

951
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 7: signings by the Golden Knights, the camera went on them

952
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 7: and they were laughing. They couldn't believe the crowd. There

953
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 7: was seventeen thousand plus people there. The place was going crazy,

954
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 7: and the players are going this is the first preseason game,

955
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 7: which is going to be like in June.

956
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 4: That is unbelievable.

957
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 5: And obviously the Golden Knights captured the attention of the

958
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 5: masses with what they did last year.

959
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 4: But I've said this is the hardest pro.

960
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,440
Speaker 5: Sports championship I think to win, next to maybe something

961
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 5: in combat sports.

962
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:45,799
Speaker 4: keV.

963
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:47,480
Speaker 5: That's an awfully quick turn. I mean, that was a

964
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 5: long season. It's hard for me to believe that they're back.

965
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 5: On the ice already.

966
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's really amazing. I mean, we said last night

967
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,360
Speaker 7: when we walked in it was like we just hardly

968
00:42:56,480 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 7: left the place and now here we are. But they've

969
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 7: done a great job and Tim Moobile Arena is a

970
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 7: great venue for hockey. Not so great for fighting, I

971
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 7: don't think, but great for hockey.

972
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 4: All right, Well let's talk some fighting.

973
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 5: Obviously a big one in boxing this past Saturday night,

974
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:15,319
Speaker 5: the rematch between TRIPLEG and Canelo Alvarez. You were there,

975
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,959
Speaker 5: your customary ringside seat. I read your column this morning.

976
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,759
Speaker 5: You didn't seem as enamored with the fight as say

977
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,239
Speaker 5: Lebron James and some others, But overall assessment of Canelo's

978
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 5: winn and what you saw firsthand Saturday night, you know, I.

979
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,359
Speaker 7: Thought it was a good fight. It wasn't a great fight,

980
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 7: and I think when you look at what happened to me,

981
00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:36,880
Speaker 7: it's a disappointing performance by ganatdy Golovkin. From this standpoint,

982
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,520
Speaker 7: he fought twenty four runs over two fights with a

983
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 7: guy moving up in wait to fight him, never heard him,

984
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,399
Speaker 7: never knocked him down, and he never really took risks. Yes,

985
00:43:47,480 --> 00:43:51,320
Speaker 7: Gannaddi threw more punches. But what bothered me about the

986
00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:54,000
Speaker 7: way he fought was he boxed all the time. He

987
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 7: threw a lot more jabs and he didn't just let

988
00:43:56,800 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 7: it go. And I thought, at some point in the

989
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 7: fight on Saturday, you've been in there with Canelo, now,

990
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:03,480
Speaker 7: say eighteen rounds, you have to say, you know what,

991
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 7: I'm gonna plant my feet in the middle and I'm

992
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 7: going to trade with him because what I'm doing isn't working.

993
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:13,279
Speaker 7: It's not opening up. And they're so evenly matched that

994
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 7: I think they could fight ten times and they're all

995
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 7: going to be like that. I think Gannaddy had to

996
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:18,879
Speaker 7: turn around and say, you know what, I'm gonna fight.

997
00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 7: I'm not going to box, and he chose not to

998
00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:23,200
Speaker 7: do that, and to me, that's what decided to fight.

999
00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was surprising. Did you think that Ganadi heading

1000
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 6: in there was the guy who hit harder, being the

1001
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:31,279
Speaker 6: heavier guy.

1002
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 7: Oh, no question. I mean, I think Gannaddi was a

1003
00:44:34,280 --> 00:44:35,880
Speaker 7: bigger puncher, and I still think that.

1004
00:44:37,000 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 9: But you know what we learned.

1005
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:42,360
Speaker 7: We knew Gannaddi Kenny had a great chan, but we

1006
00:44:42,480 --> 00:44:45,320
Speaker 7: learned that Canelo has a very good chance too, especially

1007
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,840
Speaker 7: in the eleventh round. I mean, Gannaddi hit him with

1008
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,080
Speaker 7: some really big hard shots and Canelo took it, and

1009
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:52,919
Speaker 7: you know, you could tell he was bothered a little

1010
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 7: bit by it, but you know, he fought back and

1011
00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:58,800
Speaker 7: Gannaddi it just looked to me like Gannaddi wasn't willing

1012
00:44:58,880 --> 00:45:02,279
Speaker 7: to take a straight punch from Canelo in exchange for

1013
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 7: landing one of his own, and that surprised me.

1014
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:06,719
Speaker 6: So, do you think we're going to see a third

1015
00:45:06,760 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 6: fight here or no?

1016
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 7: I do, but I don't think it's going to be

1017
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,400
Speaker 7: an immediate rematch. There's a lot of hard feelings between

1018
00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,520
Speaker 7: the sides, not only between the two fighters but their

1019
00:45:16,600 --> 00:45:19,440
Speaker 7: teams and the promotions and everything else, and so I

1020
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:21,879
Speaker 7: think we will see them fight again, but I think

1021
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 7: they'll each try other guys before they come back.

1022
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 6: I want to switch gears a little bit. Is this

1023
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 6: pak Yaw Mayweather fight actually going to happen?

1024
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 7: It is, they're getting very close. The reports are coming

1025
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 7: on saying they're going to fight in December, and it

1026
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 7: could happen in December, Kenny, but I think it's more

1027
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:42,439
Speaker 7: likely Floyd wants it to happen around his birthday, which

1028
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 7: was I don't know the exact day, but it's late February,

1029
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 7: and so I think it's more likely that it happens

1030
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 7: then than it does in December. But I know the

1031
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 7: Nevada Athletic Commission heard about it on Saturday. I may

1032
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 7: excoose me on Friday. They started their process, so Mayweather

1033
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 7: has to apply. But they are talking. Some high ranking

1034
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 7: people in the Pachio organization hadn't heard about it. But

1035
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 7: the funny part about that is Pachio's team is always

1036
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,160
Speaker 7: in turmoil and chaos. Manny wants to fight, Floyd wants

1037
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 7: to fight. The sides were talking and don't I think

1038
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 7: it's inevitable that we hear it in the next week

1039
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:18,880
Speaker 7: or so.

1040
00:46:19,960 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, who's Kevin?

1041
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 5: I only with us here on the ANAK and Florid

1042
00:46:22,239 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 5: in podcast. I think Manny Pacio coming up on birthday

1043
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 5: number forty in December, if I'm not mistaken. So, yes,

1044
00:46:27,880 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 5: you've been at all the big fights in boxing and

1045
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 5: mixed martial arts.

1046
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 4: You've been a staple.

1047
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 5: Where is your level of enthusiasm for BEBN, Normago Metaw

1048
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 5: versus Connor McGregor relative to say, I don't know, D

1049
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 5: D C. Stipe most recently or some of the other

1050
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 5: big fights in recent UFC history.

1051
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 7: I am really excited to see this fight. I mean,

1052
00:46:48,080 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 7: probably as big as any fight ever. And the reason

1053
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 7: I like it so much is, you know, when you

1054
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 7: say this, I have to put a caveat. I don't

1055
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:57,160
Speaker 7: think either one has a glurring weakness. But I think

1056
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 7: kabeeb strength is Connor's weakness and our strength is Kabeb's weakness.

1057
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 7: And so it's going to make for such a great

1058
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,000
Speaker 7: tactical fight. And then the way that they're going to

1059
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 7: talk and sell it, I think they're gonna have everybody

1060
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,320
Speaker 7: amped up, and to me, it's just such a great event.

1061
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,799
Speaker 7: I was very amped up for Steve Ay and DC,

1062
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 7: you know, and and I just thought that was a

1063
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 7: fantastic promotion. But I think this one is at another level.

1064
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 7: You're talking two of the greatest fighters in the world,

1065
00:47:27,360 --> 00:47:31,839
Speaker 7: with unbelievable skill in their specific strength, and I think

1066
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 7: both of them are vulnerable where they're not strong, and

1067
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 7: so I think that makes you know, we saw against

1068
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 7: Aliah Quinta, you know, Kabeb's striking isn't dominant like the

1069
00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:42,480
Speaker 7: rest of his game is. You know, he's not a

1070
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 7: terrible striker, but he's not a dominant striker, and against Connor,

1071
00:47:46,040 --> 00:47:47,560
Speaker 7: you know, hey, the fight starter on their feet. So

1072
00:47:47,680 --> 00:47:50,479
Speaker 7: I'm really jazzed up for And I talked to Dana

1073
00:47:50,480 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 7: White a couple of weeks ago, and you know, we

1074
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 7: were talking about potentially that being a three million pay

1075
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 7: per view, and I scoff whenever I hear over a

1076
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,560
Speaker 7: million most of the time. But when we talked about

1077
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:03,880
Speaker 7: three million, I said, hey, I'm not going to scoff.

1078
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 5: That's incredible because I was going to maybe set a

1079
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,480
Speaker 5: barometer at two four or something like that. Three million, Uh,

1080
00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 5: that is unbelievable to hear. So in terms of making

1081
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:16,279
Speaker 5: this fight announcement Kevin in early August and having the

1082
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 5: quick turnaround like they've done here, some of that maybe

1083
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:21,480
Speaker 5: you could say is strategic, But a lot of that

1084
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:23,480
Speaker 5: is when Connor was going to be ready to come back,

1085
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:25,839
Speaker 5: in Khabib's willingness to accept the date even though he's

1086
00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:26,920
Speaker 5: the undisputed champion.

1087
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:29,760
Speaker 4: Can you say on equivocally that having.

1088
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 5: A whole world tour and this long preamble is better

1089
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,800
Speaker 5: for pay per views than one isolated press conference in

1090
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 5: New York City and a relatively quick turn after the

1091
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 5: fight announcement.

1092
00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 7: I think for ninety nine point nine percent of the

1093
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 7: fights that is true. I think for this particular fight

1094
00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:49,480
Speaker 7: it's not true. And I think that they will be

1095
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 7: able to get it out there right away, and I

1096
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:57,279
Speaker 7: think they're going to have a huge reception in New York.

1097
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 7: I know they're not going to invite the public to

1098
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 7: the press conference, but it's going to be a huge

1099
00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:03,320
Speaker 7: reception in New York for the fighters. And I just

1100
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:05,520
Speaker 7: believe the media coverage is going to be over the top,

1101
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 7: and I think the promotion of the fight is going

1102
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:09,840
Speaker 7: to be over the top. You're going to see the

1103
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:12,960
Speaker 7: UFC push this over the next two weeks like you've

1104
00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 7: never seen a UFC push anything in their lives. Everywhere

1105
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 7: you go, it's going to be Connor versus Kabeb. And

1106
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,239
Speaker 7: I think that they this is the one fight that

1107
00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 7: doesn't need that. I would have loved to have seen

1108
00:49:24,040 --> 00:49:27,280
Speaker 7: the World Tour, but I think this particular fight doesn't

1109
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 7: need it.

1110
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 5: You get me excited, Kevin, don't get me excited less

1111
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 5: than three weeks until Habib and mcgreg all right, A

1112
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 5: few rapid fire questions here on the way out with

1113
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 5: the Pittsburgh date of Kevin Ioli. So the Steelers are

1114
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 5: one and one. I'm not paying it, even though I

1115
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:44,799
Speaker 5: don't like the head coach factor fiction the Steelers. Your

1116
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 5: Steelers will still win the AFC North fact all right,

1117
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:50,359
Speaker 5: buy or sell?

1118
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 4: This is Mike tomlins last year in Pittsburgh.

1119
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:55,719
Speaker 7: Oh shell right.

1120
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 5: I mean, they love having that short list of head

1121
00:49:58,080 --> 00:50:00,880
Speaker 5: coaches and I respect it, but I just I don't know.

1122
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 7: I just feel like this one of Super Bowl. The

1123
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,440
Speaker 7: Steelers have been one of the best franchises in his tenure.

1124
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 7: They've always been right there. Why do you fire him?

1125
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 7: I mean, hey, he's not Bill Belichick, but he's one

1126
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 7: of the better NFL coaches.

1127
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,920
Speaker 5: Well, I just think sometimes coaches or managers, they win

1128
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 5: a championship so early on that it buys them so

1129
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:19,360
Speaker 5: much good will. It happened with the Red Sox and

1130
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 5: John Ferrell in Boston. He won the championship and the

1131
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 5: result they had to keep him around for six years

1132
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 5: even though he didn't know what he was doing.

1133
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:27,760
Speaker 4: But I'm not saying Tomlin's in that class.

1134
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:30,520
Speaker 5: And I respect your take so real quick on the

1135
00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:33,000
Speaker 5: Vegas Golden Knights, because I think there is some crossover

1136
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 5: interest for our UFC fan base because everybody is getting

1137
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,680
Speaker 5: behind this team. They go to the Cup final, come

1138
00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:42,240
Speaker 5: up short last year, like, realistically, what are the expectations

1139
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 5: and how do they avoid this precipitous drop off after

1140
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 5: going so close to completing the ultimate goal in season

1141
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:48,879
Speaker 5: number one.

1142
00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 7: I don't think there's any question they're not going to

1143
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,520
Speaker 7: be as good in the regular season. They had one

1144
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 7: hundred nine points last year, which was mind blowing. I

1145
00:50:56,120 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 7: thought they might be five hundred, you know. I thought

1146
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 7: they had a decent defense, you know, not a great defense,

1147
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 7: but decent and obviously at standy goldten in. But I

1148
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:04,800
Speaker 7: didn't think they'd score goals. They turned out to be

1149
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 7: one of the best goal scoring teams in the league.

1150
00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 7: Marc Andre Fleury had the best year of his career,

1151
00:51:10,560 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 7: William Carlson became a superstar. I don't think that they

1152
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,399
Speaker 7: can do that again. I think you'll see Florey still

1153
00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 7: be very good, but maybe not excellent. Carlson might score

1154
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 7: thirty goals, but not forty three. They have Nate schmid

1155
00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 7: on suspension for twenty games. That's going to hurt them.

1156
00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 7: So I think they're going to still be very good

1157
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 7: and there'll be a factor in the playoffs, but I

1158
00:51:30,600 --> 00:51:33,439
Speaker 7: don't think that going into the season you could rightly

1159
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:35,919
Speaker 7: say they're going to get one hundred and nine points. Again.

1160
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:39,240
Speaker 5: So you're a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. I know you adopted

1161
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 5: the Vegas Golden Knights, and if they meet in the

1162
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 5: Cup Final, I guess you'll cross that bridge when you

1163
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:43,719
Speaker 5: get there.

1164
00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 4: But are you going to adopt the Raiders in a

1165
00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:46,840
Speaker 4: similar fashion?

1166
00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:50,399
Speaker 7: Oh no, no, no, no, no, no no, that's that's

1167
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,040
Speaker 7: a speaking I got the Golden Knights come in. It

1168
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 7: was an expansion franchise with no history. And I was

1169
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:57,880
Speaker 7: telling my wife this last night. One of my favorite

1170
00:51:57,880 --> 00:52:01,200
Speaker 7: players on the Golden Knights is Pierre Eduard Belmar and

1171
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 7: I said, when he first started playing, I liked him

1172
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 7: as a player, I liked what he was doing on

1173
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 7: the ice, but I couldn't root for him. And she

1174
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,879
Speaker 7: said why, I said, because he played for the Flyers before,

1175
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 7: and I hate the Flyers and I couldn't do it.

1176
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 7: And that with the Steelers, I am such a Steeler

1177
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 7: guy that the Raiders are one of the teams that

1178
00:52:17,719 --> 00:52:18,920
Speaker 7: I could never root for.

1179
00:52:19,560 --> 00:52:22,319
Speaker 5: Okay, good, just making sure, just making sure you can

1180
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 5: see him in the black and goal, but not the

1181
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 5: black and silver. He is Kevin Ioli. Can fall him

1182
00:52:25,960 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 5: on Twitter at kevin I. I first met Kevin Ioli

1183
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:30,960
Speaker 5: was doing the Mouthpiece Boxing radio show. I think it

1184
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 5: was a fight between Marco Antonio Berera and Eric Morales,

1185
00:52:34,840 --> 00:52:38,440
Speaker 5: like two thousand and two, two thousand five. And you

1186
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 5: are still sharp as attack, my man, and gracious to

1187
00:52:41,760 --> 00:52:43,799
Speaker 5: have your ear and your insights as usual. I hope

1188
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:45,879
Speaker 5: you enjoy the next couple weeks and we will see

1189
00:52:45,920 --> 00:52:48,200
Speaker 5: you on your stomping grounds come the sixth of October.

1190
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:49,520
Speaker 4: My friend. Thanks, looking forward to it.

1191
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:50,399
Speaker 7: Thanks guys.

1192
00:52:51,200 --> 00:52:51,640
Speaker 3: There he is.

1193
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 5: Yahoo columnists and writer Kevin Ioli with us here on

1194
00:52:54,360 --> 00:52:57,040
Speaker 5: the Anakin floor and podcast. Good egg there back in

1195
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:58,560
Speaker 5: the day. Had to beg him to come on my

1196
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 5: radio show. You know, hey, excuse me, mister Ioli. My

1197
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 5: name's Jonathan Annick. Can you just come over do this

1198
00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 5: little mouthpiece boxing show Sporting News Radio Boston, you know.

1199
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 5: But he was always gracious, unlike a lot of people

1200
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 5: in that boxing world that wouldn't give us the time

1201
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 5: of day. But good stuff and a good fight between

1202
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 5: Triple G and Canelo Alvarez, and so much is made

1203
00:53:15,680 --> 00:53:18,400
Speaker 5: of the scorecards here, you know my scorecard, you might

1204
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 5: as well throw out, right. But I thought it was

1205
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,080
Speaker 5: an entertaining fight, not a classic necessarily. But you know,

1206
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 5: I've said a lot on these airwaves that I felt

1207
00:53:27,200 --> 00:53:29,479
Speaker 5: like when I was covering boxing those three or four years,

1208
00:53:29,960 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 5: four or five times a year, boxing was the biggest

1209
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 5: story in sports. I remember, even Bernard Hopkins and Winky

1210
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:38,839
Speaker 5: Wright and the fight didn't even mean all that much,

1211
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,400
Speaker 5: and yet it was getting Sports Center coverage. It seemed

1212
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 5: like one of the bigger sports stories. And I always

1213
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 5: like when boxing is the biggest story in sports, even

1214
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 5: on a football weekend, and TRIPLEG and Canelo certainly captivated

1215
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:51,400
Speaker 5: the masses.

1216
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:51,640
Speaker 3: Kid.

1217
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, man, I didn't see it live, saw some highlights

1218
00:53:56,840 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 6: today this morning, and I can't wait till it. It's

1219
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 6: gonna be on HBO. I'm sure probably another week or two,

1220
00:54:03,000 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 6: so I have to watch it. Everyone seemed like it

1221
00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 6: was an amazing fight.

1222
00:54:06,960 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 4: Triple G favored in the first two.

1223
00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 5: If and when they do that trilogy fight, I wouldn't

1224
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 5: be surprised to see that flip a little bit, you know,

1225
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,400
Speaker 5: maybe Triple G start to show the age a little bit.

1226
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,360
Speaker 5: I hate to go too far down that line, but

1227
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:21,120
Speaker 5: I think saw some of that a little bit. So yeah,

1228
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 5: so in terms of Chevchenko and Montana, and we sort

1229
00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,600
Speaker 5: of put that stuff to bed for Valentina. Her next

1230
00:54:25,640 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 5: fight is going to be for the UFC Women's Flyweight Championship,

1231
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,080
Speaker 5: and it seems like maybe yo Wanna Young j Check

1232
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 5: will be that fighter.

1233
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:32,239
Speaker 3: You know.

1234
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 5: I think maybe the hold up, and this is just

1235
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:39,760
Speaker 5: me speculating, is that Young Jcheck is happy, so happy

1236
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,840
Speaker 5: with the way her last cut went down to one

1237
00:54:41,920 --> 00:54:45,400
Speaker 5: hundred and sixteen pounds that she still has those reservations

1238
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,880
Speaker 5: to leave Strawwaight. I know you have other fighters out there,

1239
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 5: so jar A U Banks and Jessica I and others

1240
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:52,920
Speaker 5: Caitlyn Shukegi and who are at her near the top.

1241
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:54,759
Speaker 5: Some of them have fights on the books, but they

1242
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,080
Speaker 5: all want a piece of that belt. Chevchenko's getting that

1243
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,880
Speaker 5: title shot, and I think it's probably gonna beat Yoanna

1244
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 5: if they can find a way to entice her.

1245
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 6: What do you think, I think that's the fight they

1246
00:55:04,120 --> 00:55:07,520
Speaker 6: should make. Obviously, these women have history together. They've competed

1247
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 6: in muay Thai and kickboxing in the past, and I

1248
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:14,120
Speaker 6: think for Yoanna, she could absolutely make one hundred and

1249
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,360
Speaker 6: twenty five pounds and still be strong in that weight class.

1250
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 6: In my opinion, I think she's a little bit taller

1251
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 6: than a lot of the women at one hundred and

1252
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:24,880
Speaker 6: fifteen pounds, and the biggest hurdle, the biggest issue is

1253
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 6: that Rose Namaunis is the champion in that weight class,

1254
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 6: and she has two wins over Youana, so it might

1255
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 6: be a while if Rose stays the champion, of course,

1256
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 6: before she ever gets that third fight. If she ever

1257
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 6: does so, I think it does make sense for her

1258
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 6: to try her hand at fighting at one hundred and

1259
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 6: twenty five pounds, and I think this is simply the

1260
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 6: biggest fight you can make at one hundred and twenty

1261
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 6: five pounds, So I think really it's to the benefit

1262
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,800
Speaker 6: of the UFC. Chevchenko and Yoanni Young Jchek. That's a

1263
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:55,279
Speaker 6: huge fight.

1264
00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 5: And who knows if rosnama Yunis is even going to

1265
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 5: fight again in twenty eighteen, right, she might be out

1266
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,239
Speaker 5: until the first quarter of twenty nineteen. And there is

1267
00:56:03,320 --> 00:56:05,960
Speaker 5: one Jessica Onraje Lurking as well, so we'll see how

1268
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:08,919
Speaker 5: how that all shakes out. All right, it is time

1269
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 5: to spend this thing forward. UFC Salpolo has a new

1270
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,120
Speaker 5: main event. Let us get to the main event challenge.

1271
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:18,480
Speaker 2: It's the main Event challenge and the.

1272
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 4: Time is most definitely.

1273
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:25,840
Speaker 6: I finished fine, how do everything? Both will do?

1274
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 2: Win the main event Challenge to John Annik and Kenny

1275
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:31,759
Speaker 2: Florian podcast.

1276
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:33,480
Speaker 5: All right, not a bunch doing In terms of the

1277
00:56:33,600 --> 00:56:36,400
Speaker 5: standings from last week UFC Moscow, you tied our buddy

1278
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:41,000
Speaker 5: Girardo Lenades one to one. So Team Annex lead one

1279
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 5: oh seven ninety seven. Going into UFC sal Polo this

1280
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 5: weekend and joining us to make picks today. Where it

1281
00:56:47,920 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 5: is about three o'clock in the morning. I believe in

1282
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:53,640
Speaker 5: New South Wales, Australia. He's been up all night. Brett

1283
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 5: Lobsey is with us. Brett gracious man to pull an

1284
00:56:56,239 --> 00:56:58,479
Speaker 5: all nighter. How are you holding up, my friend?

1285
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 9: I'm doing great, Thanks Jim and mate. It is a

1286
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 9: pleasure to be here. And yeah, not a worry at all.

1287
00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 3: Well.

1288
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 5: I normally don't feel pressure when I bring listeners on,

1289
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,120
Speaker 5: but you've been up all night. I feel a certain

1290
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 5: amount of pressure to make sure this is a good

1291
00:57:13,840 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 5: experience for you. Uh six picks I believe are going

1292
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 5: to make today five time permitting, Let's start with the

1293
00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 5: main car about bantamweight division. The former champ hen and

1294
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,120
Speaker 5: Barrow's life favorite here minus one thirty five against the

1295
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 5: UFC newcomer Andre E. Well, he's plus one oh five.

1296
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 5: Brow's dropped two in a row, four of his last five. Brett,

1297
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 5: what do you think here? You going hen and Burrow

1298
00:57:33,560 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 5: or mister highlighting his UFC debut?

1299
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, and John, it is a pleasure to be in.

1300
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:43,360
Speaker 9: Might haul out of my MMI standom Saturday not a problem,

1301
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:44,640
Speaker 9: but a'll sign up going on man.

1302
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:46,720
Speaker 4: But in this what.

1303
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 9: I don't know anything about this Andre guy. I guess

1304
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,000
Speaker 9: I know that he's told and he's willing to go

1305
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 9: down to Brazil and take on Hennon who is you know,

1306
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:04,520
Speaker 9: gonna have everything behind him. But I can see Burrow

1307
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 9: winning this one batch submission. He's going to be able

1308
00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,120
Speaker 9: to maybe keep him off with some late kicks and

1309
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,120
Speaker 9: then hopefully, you know, get into the ground and choking. Now,

1310
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 9: so that's how I'm seeing this is going going.

1311
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 5: Not a lot of sportsbooks have this fight out there

1312
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,840
Speaker 5: right now. It seemed like it opened closer to three

1313
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 5: to one, but now it's pretty close with Barrow still

1314
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 5: holding as a slight favorite. Ewell, I don't know a

1315
00:58:26,720 --> 00:58:28,840
Speaker 5: ton about him either. I'll know more after the weekend, obviously,

1316
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 5: but he fights out of California. He's thirteen and four overall.

1317
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 5: He's won four in a row, eight of his last nine,

1318
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 5: so he brings with him some momentum can flow. Hennon

1319
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 5: Barrow against the newcomer this weekend.

1320
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 6: Your thoughts, yeah, listen, Hennon Barrow is certainly not the

1321
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 6: same guy that we saw when he was championing on

1322
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:47,560
Speaker 6: that crazy wind streak. But I still think he has

1323
00:58:47,640 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 6: the experience that I also think he has a big

1324
00:58:50,360 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 6: time advantage on the ground. I see Burrow getting it

1325
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:56,400
Speaker 6: done here by decision.

1326
00:58:56,960 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 5: All right, A couple of picks there on the former

1327
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 5: King and Burrow. All right, light heavyweight fight here, guys,

1328
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 5: smiling sam Alvi the minus three hundred favorite against old

1329
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 5: friend little nog Antnio j Jerio Nogaita coming back at

1330
00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 5: plus two thirty, his fight back after the suspension some

1331
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 5: injuries last fight November twenty sixteen against Ryan Bader. Of course, Alvi,

1332
00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,040
Speaker 5: the ever active Sam Alvi. He's had six fights since

1333
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,919
Speaker 5: then and has won two straight. Three of his last four, Brett,

1334
00:59:23,040 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 5: what do you think Alvi or j Jerio Nogera for you?

1335
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 9: Well, Little Nogi he doesn't mind a layoff. He come

1336
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:34,680
Speaker 9: back from two years off to fight Rashard and won

1337
00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 9: that one. I think so. And he's going to be

1338
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 9: a huge favorite with the crowd out there. They're going

1339
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 9: to be loving him, you know. And the Ghara is

1340
00:59:42,240 --> 00:59:46,240
Speaker 9: a title fan favorites in Brazil and I'm looking for

1341
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 9: I'm looking for him to win. He's going to come forward.

1342
00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:53,040
Speaker 9: Alvi doesn't really like people who pressure him too much,

1343
00:59:53,320 --> 00:59:55,960
Speaker 9: so Little Dog's going to get in there, get in

1344
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:59,200
Speaker 9: his face, hopefully land something. The other fees for him

1345
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:03,000
Speaker 9: would be that Alvi can heap with the right cross

1346
01:00:03,480 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 9: when he's moving backwards, so if he can stay out

1347
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Speaker 9: of that trouble. I just think that Ghara is going

1348
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 9: to take him in the first round.

1349
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:13,479
Speaker 5: Interesting and that's some value there too. Plus two thirty

1350
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 5: can flow your thoughts on Alvi and Little nog this weekend.

1351
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,200
Speaker 6: Listen. Alvi is very dangerous. I do think he's a

1352
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:21,400
Speaker 6: little bit more dangerous though at one hundred and eighty

1353
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 6: five pounds, he really can crack. While I do think

1354
01:00:25,320 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 6: he can still get the knockout here against Little Nog.

1355
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 6: I don't see it happening to South Paul's going at

1356
01:00:30,880 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 6: it here. I think No Gara will be skilled enough

1357
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:36,400
Speaker 6: to stay away from that counter shot if he's able

1358
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 6: to back Alvi up. You know, not only is his

1359
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:42,760
Speaker 6: left cross dangerous, but his hook as well. He hits

1360
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 6: hard with both hands. But I see No Garrett getting

1361
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:47,520
Speaker 6: the win here. If he's able to get it to

1362
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,840
Speaker 6: the ground, I think he could finish. Not going to

1363
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:53,520
Speaker 6: be so easy against Alvi, but I do think Little

1364
01:00:53,560 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 6: Nog gets it done.

1365
01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 5: You guys might just move that number. Can Flow and

1366
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 5: Brett Lobsey both on Little Nogg at plus two coming

1367
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 5: up this weekend though, results on Albi pretty good thus

1368
01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 5: for a light heavyweight knocked out Marching Pragneo and then

1369
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 5: a decision winner over John Blante. So I'll be trying

1370
01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 5: to make it three in a row this weekend. All

1371
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,800
Speaker 5: right comin event Alex Cowboy olivera another high profile spot

1372
01:01:16,880 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 5: for him, this time a minus four hundred favorite against

1373
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 5: one Carlo petter Soli Pettersoli plus three thirty for what

1374
01:01:24,320 --> 01:01:26,400
Speaker 5: is his second UFC appearance here. He's won eight in

1375
01:01:26,440 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 5: a row overall, Brett, the floor is yours. Who do

1376
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 5: you like in the Komain.

1377
01:01:31,840 --> 01:01:34,600
Speaker 9: Well, I do like Carlo Petsoli. I think he's a

1378
01:01:35,240 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 9: him for a young fighter. He's he's a journeyman. He

1379
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 9: fought short notice fights against brad Scott and then the

1380
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 9: other guy over there in England, and he's taken another

1381
01:01:47,160 --> 01:01:49,880
Speaker 9: short notice fight here. He's going to be able to

1382
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,880
Speaker 9: give Olivera some trouble. It's going to get the distance

1383
01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 9: that Alex. Olivera is just got gonna have way too

1384
01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 9: much momentum behind him, and he's gonna have the crowd,

1385
01:01:58,440 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 9: and he's going to have the judges, I think, so

1386
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,600
Speaker 9: the decision over there, and.

1387
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:06,000
Speaker 5: He's gonna have Gustavo Lima blairin through the speakers and

1388
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:08,400
Speaker 5: all of Southpolo is gonna go crazy for Cowboy. I

1389
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 5: think the name that was escaping you, Brett, Nicholas Dalby

1390
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 5: was that the short notice fight, all right? So that

1391
01:02:14,400 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 5: was a one by spread decision for Carlo Petter solely. Then,

1392
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 5: of course the very tough Bradley Scott was the guy

1393
01:02:19,240 --> 01:02:22,000
Speaker 5: he beat. Also by splitting his UFC debut. Ken Flow

1394
01:02:22,120 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 5: is not the president of the Alex. Cowboy Olivera fan club,

1395
01:02:24,560 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 5: and I know he's gonna text me after the show, like, dude,

1396
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 5: come on, man, you just don't like the walkout song.

1397
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:30,400
Speaker 4: I know you like the fighter.

1398
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 5: Your thoughts on Cowboy against somebody who is not nearly

1399
01:02:33,840 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 5: as UFC tested this week, Well, you know, this is.

1400
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 6: A dangerous fight for Alex Olivera. I do like the

1401
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:41,760
Speaker 6: way that he fights and that he's exciting. He's he's

1402
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,200
Speaker 6: pretty aggressive, but he is wild and he does have

1403
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 6: a lot of holes in his game, which makes this

1404
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 6: a very dangerous fight for him. This is a tricky one.

1405
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,560
Speaker 6: You know, if I honestly, if Carlo had a full

1406
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:57,760
Speaker 6: camp for this one, I would go Carlo's way most likely.

1407
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:02,240
Speaker 6: I most likely would. But I think Olivera. I think

1408
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 6: he's gonna get it done by decision. He does have

1409
01:03:05,760 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 6: the knockout power to maybe get it done as well,

1410
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 6: but I see a decision win for Cowboy.

1411
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 5: All right, main event, and how about this, I'll set

1412
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 5: it up a little bit. So Initially, as many of

1413
01:03:15,040 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 5: you know, it was going to be Jimmy Manua against

1414
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:19,360
Speaker 5: Glover to Shaa to share pulled out several weeks ago

1415
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:24,080
Speaker 5: in step Tiago Maheta Santos earlier today and we're taping here.

1416
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 5: On Monday of fight week, Manawa reported out Eric anders

1417
01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 5: In so Anders moves up to light heavyweight, which Maheta

1418
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:36,080
Speaker 5: Santos is doing your new look main event. Two guys

1419
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:39,480
Speaker 5: who really have competed primarily at middleweight, Thiago Santos. Eric

1420
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 5: anders Anders was a huge betting favorite for his last

1421
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 5: fight and it wasn't all that long ago, less than

1422
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 5: four weeks ago against Tim Williams. I think Andrews is

1423
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 5: probably gonna be the underdog here. I don't know where

1424
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,480
Speaker 5: this one is gonna fall, will adjust accordingly, but Brett,

1425
01:03:52,520 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 5: this is the main event. We need a method of

1426
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 5: victory and around who do you like in the final

1427
01:03:57,800 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 5: fight in salth.

1428
01:03:58,360 --> 01:04:02,600
Speaker 9: Paula my friend, Yeah, it's you. Good on Eric for

1429
01:04:02,720 --> 01:04:06,000
Speaker 9: taking this one and a huge challenge. You'll still probably

1430
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 9: have to cut a bit of weight with five days notice,

1431
01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 9: I'd say, so he's going to have He's gonna have

1432
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:17,200
Speaker 9: that to deal with moving down to Brazil. So he's

1433
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 9: not the Only problem I have with Moretta is that

1434
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 9: sometimes his head's not rock quite in the game. He's

1435
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 9: kind of thinking outside doing other things, and that could

1436
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:29,560
Speaker 9: be could you know, be a problem for him. But

1437
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,840
Speaker 9: I'm going to take a round two TKO to Moretto

1438
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 9: Santos starting up with the bodykicks.

1439
01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 5: Oh, look at that round two TKO for Thiago Mahata

1440
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 5: Santo so ken flow. Eric Anders eleven and one overall,

1441
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 5: he's thirty one years old. He did go nearly three

1442
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:49,919
Speaker 5: hard rounds with Tim Williams. That was August twenty fifth

1443
01:04:49,960 --> 01:04:52,360
Speaker 5: before he got that late, finished less than twenty seconds

1444
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 5: to go on the fight. But this is a gym rat, right,

1445
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,040
Speaker 5: I mean, this is a guy who never leaves the gym.

1446
01:04:58,200 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 5: He's cross trained recently a four to seven May with

1447
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 5: Safe Salud, who just was blown away with what this

1448
01:05:03,160 --> 01:05:05,400
Speaker 5: guy brings to the table. I don't expect him to

1449
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 5: have to cut too much weight. He has the experience

1450
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,720
Speaker 5: of going five rounds and belaying against Leoto machidah right,

1451
01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:14,480
Speaker 5: so sal Paulo a lot easier in terms of the travel.

1452
01:05:14,240 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 4: For Eric Anders.

1453
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 5: If anyone is in position to physically put themselves in

1454
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 5: position to compete, well, you know my money is on

1455
01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:22,919
Speaker 5: Eric Anders.

1456
01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 4: I'm not saying he's gonna win.

1457
01:05:23,880 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 5: The fight can flow, but I don't expect the six

1458
01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,440
Speaker 5: days noticed to be a huge factor for Anders if

1459
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 5: he does lose.

1460
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 4: Your thoughts on what we might see in Sal Paula.

1461
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:34,600
Speaker 6: On my friend, Well, it's not optimal, that's for sure.

1462
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 6: And the travel is a factor. The fact that it's

1463
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:42,560
Speaker 6: a five round fight to me is a factor, and

1464
01:05:43,040 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 6: just the power of Santos is a factor. Anders sometimes

1465
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 6: gets caught watching a little bit. He can he can

1466
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 6: be a slow starter and against a guy like Santos,

1467
01:05:53,960 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 6: that could be trouble. And Santos will definitely be bullied

1468
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:00,560
Speaker 6: by by the crowd in Brazil. I'm gonna go with Santos.

1469
01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 6: I think he gets it done by stoppage in round

1470
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 6: three TKO.

1471
01:06:06,080 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 5: Round three TKO for Thiago Maheta Santos, and he might

1472
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 5: end up being a three or four to one favorite.

1473
01:06:10,520 --> 01:06:11,960
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be closer than that, I

1474
01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:14,560
Speaker 5: really do, but we will see how it goes. And

1475
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,560
Speaker 5: I think, yeah, it would be more the power, I

1476
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:19,400
Speaker 5: think than the circumstances for Eric Anders, at least, just

1477
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 5: given everything that I've heard. I mean, I was texting

1478
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,640
Speaker 5: with his manager this morning. Your boy Eric Anders is

1479
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 5: ready to go and a guy that the promotion really

1480
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 5: can lean on. I think in a couple of different

1481
01:06:28,680 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 5: weight classes to step up, not unlike Thiago Santos as well,

1482
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 5: who has been a true soldier for them. All Right,

1483
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 5: a couple quick picks on the way out out of

1484
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 5: respect to Evan Dunham. We are picking this fight because

1485
01:06:38,240 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 5: it will be the retirement fight for the long time

1486
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 5: UFC veteran Evan Dunham. He is the plus two thirty

1487
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 5: underdog here Francisco MASSARANDU but Trinaldo minus three hundred.

1488
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 4: Who do you like, Brett Trinaldo or Dunham.

1489
01:06:51,480 --> 01:06:53,800
Speaker 9: Yeah, Dunham's has had one of those careers. He's been

1490
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 9: unlucky a lot of times. I'm starting with that Sean

1491
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 9: Shirk fight where he's clearly won that the season, they

1492
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 9: didn't give it to him. So yeah, just can't seem

1493
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 9: getting the decision down there. So it's gonna be Masera, Duba.

1494
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 5: Maser and Duba for Brett Kenfill. What do you think

1495
01:07:10,080 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 5: Dunham Swansong against Trinaldo.

1496
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 6: I'm going the other way. I'm going with Dunham here.

1497
01:07:15,760 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 6: I uh think he's one of the nicest guys in

1498
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,320
Speaker 6: the sport. I also think he has the skills simply

1499
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:21,360
Speaker 6: to win this one.

1500
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:21,880
Speaker 7: Uh.

1501
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:24,440
Speaker 6: It is gonna be difficult in Brazil, but I think

1502
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:26,000
Speaker 6: Dunham gets it done in his last one.

1503
01:07:26,320 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 5: And I wonder if there's just a little tweak in

1504
01:07:29,040 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 5: the risk management for Evan Dunham, Right, He's all he's

1505
01:07:31,760 --> 01:07:35,160
Speaker 5: so tough, right that maybe just balls to the fucking

1506
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,560
Speaker 5: wall and see how it goes in South Paula. All right,

1507
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 5: last one Sergio Madis minus two fifty, Ben Saunders plus

1508
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 5: one ninety five.

1509
01:07:42,360 --> 01:07:44,160
Speaker 4: Britt We will let you go with this one. Who

1510
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 4: do you like made or so?

1511
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,720
Speaker 9: Yeah? Thanks so much for having me. Yeah, it's gonna

1512
01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 9: be Marale's coming in for a take down from way

1513
01:07:52,880 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 9: too far ahead and getting caught with a need from Saunders.

1514
01:07:57,080 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 9: Saunder's got great VJJ as well, and that's all that

1515
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 9: Sergea has got against him, So it's gonna be a

1516
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 9: tak for Saunders.

1517
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:06,680
Speaker 4: Can flow, Ben Sonders, Sergio Madie.

1518
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 6: I could definitely see Saunders winning in that fashion. He's

1519
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 6: also just huge for the division. But I think Marias

1520
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,080
Speaker 6: will find a way to get it to the ground.

1521
01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 6: I think the fact that he's experienced with the jiujitsu

1522
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 6: will keep him out of the submission game. And I

1523
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:22,679
Speaker 6: see Maria's getting it done by decision here.

1524
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 5: All right, UFC Sal Paula. You can see it this

1525
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 5: weekend on FS one. I think the prelims are on

1526
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 5: f S two. Of course, UFC Fight Pass to get

1527

1534
01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 5: He's Australian. I want to call him Britt instead of

1535
01:08:49,479 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 5: Brett so badly. I don't know if it's because I

1536
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 5: watched too much Flight of the Concords, but I fucking

1537
