00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,480

Speaker 4: a lot of people come up to me and say hi.

60
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,440

Speaker 4: their significant other who also knows anybody from the extended

62
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 4: MK universe. And she knew everybody, so they were very cool.

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,800

135
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 4: Wang Toong definitely ruined my parlas. That was a bad one.

136
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,680

137
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 7: that fight though, And I had Figgy as well. I

138
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 7: scored that fight five nothing yawn as well as the judges.

139
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 7: But it was close on some people score cards going

140
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 7: into the so it was a little optimistic.

141
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 4: Yes, the fight itself was reasonably close. The scoring was

142
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 4: not close, and people think scoring is always an indication

143
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 4: of how close the fight is, but of course that's

144
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 4: not always true. For sure, for sure.

Speaker 1: on Friday, a special mail bag holiday holiday edition. How

161
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: are we going to solicit these mailbag questions?

162
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 4: Send them to us at morning combat at gmail dot com.

163
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: So do that today. We will be recording this on Wednesday,

164
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 1: airing it on Friday. Before Wednesday, hit us up with

165
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: your questions. Fun holiday mailbag as we always give you.

166
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll set the stage for PFL too, because people

167
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: got to find out who's gonna win Ditcheva versus Tylia.

168
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: It's a good fight. That's a great fight.

169
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: Tyler Santos and Dakota di Cheva is like legitimately intriguing

170
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 4: and fun and interesting.

171
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't wait for that. I think Don Davis

172
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: should add an extra end to his face.

173
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 4: It's not that the PFL. We talked about this before

174
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: the show, right, Look, it's not that they don't have

175
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 4: quality fights or quality fighters. They just don't have quality

176
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 4: promotion or quality business strategy. What were we going to say?

177
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 7: I was gonna say the odds, despite that fight being

178
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 7: close on paper, the odds are crazy in favor of Dakota.

179
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 7: She's like minus three eighty.

180
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Oh, she's Tyler could take her down, right, I might

181
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: take Talia plus two fifty or Alia beat chef Chenko

182
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 1: in front of my eyes, I thought.

183
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: I mean, not according to the judges, but it was

184
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: certainly close.

185
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, then again, I thought Whitaker beat out

186
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: of Sonya in the rematch too.

187
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 4: The match to make was obviously Whitaker. John Jones, that

188
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 4: was the one that's happened, the one.

189
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: That got away the crash. Yeah, yeah it is, Luke.

190
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: Do you have any fun Turkey Day plans that you're

191
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: willing to share with you.

192
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 4: I have to take the train down to Richmond. I'm

193
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 4: gonna take the train down to Richmond to go spend

194
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 4: the day with my family down there.

195
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: How long of a ride is that, assuming there's no issues,

196
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: less than two hours? Okay, yeah, someone's cooking a turkey

197
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: in your family.

198
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 4: My brother, my sister, Remember they had a restaurant together,

199
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 4: so they're doing all the cooking. They were like, just go.

200
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: But they told me, I swear to God, this is

201
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: how they have I know they have no confidence in me. Rightly, Rightly,

202
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 4: they were like, can you just go buy some sides

203
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 4: at Whole Foods.

204
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: See they're even giving you the location they want it from.

205
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 1: They're like, don't you know, don't go to shop right,

206
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: don't make them more.

207
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 4: I would have gone to Whole Foods anyway, but I

208
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 4: was like, you know what, man.

209
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: You should bring specific Colombian dishes to this event.

210
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 4: I've done that in the past, and sometimes it's a

211
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 4: huge hit and sometimes it's a huge miss.

212
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's a doom if you yeah, you know this time,

213
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna I'm just gonna.

214
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna get high and sit around.

215
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: Okay. A lot of people, I'm sure are waiting to

216
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 1: see if we will react to aj Bufumo's return to

217
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 1: professional wrestling at aw Full Gear.

218
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 4: But I can see a headline that they got into

219
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 4: some like white supremacist ship.

220
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:08,959
Speaker 1: I did not see that.

221
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: Wow, they didn't do it on purpose. Someone bought a cameo,

222
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: as I understand it, and made.

223
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Them talking code and I did not know about that.

224
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: But we'll be seeing a little bit of that ship.

225
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 1: And have you seen it? So we'll find out later

226
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: in the show.

227
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 4: My nose. Look at look at the ship that came

228
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 4: out of mind?

229
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 1: I mean, really we're doing this. I mean, can we

230
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: get a live shot of your asshole while we're at

231
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: it too? Please look at that.

232
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 4: I got taro dactyls coming out of min.

233
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: Please leave that. Leave that out so so everyone else

234
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: gets I want you to look at that. All right? Hey,

235
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: without that was like I wiped my ass. Really it

236
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: really really does. Let's get fired up for today. Let's

237
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,439
Speaker 1: hit the topics that matter. And topic number one, of course,

238
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: is that fan friggantastic UFC macow main event in the

239
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: bantamweight division. Two former UFC champions facing off. But how

240
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 1: about this a rejuvenation of sorts for former title holder

241
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 1: pay Yan as he reclaims his elite status with a

242
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 1: thrilling five round unanimous decision victory over former Flyway king

243
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: Devison Figuraedo so louke four losses in his previous six bouts,

244
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: but for the thirty one year old Yan, he looked

245
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: completely reborn. As I mentioned, So was this performance strong

246
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 1: enough in your opinion to do what we teased last week?

247
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: Should the UFC brass consider allowing peyodor Yan, now two

248
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: fight win streak, former champion, to cut the line even

249
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: ahead of Umar and Namaga Madoff to get that next

250
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: shot at morops title.

251
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 4: I'm not so sure that they should. Now are you

252
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 4: You're saying cut the line?

253
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 1: So I'm saying, was you know, because we said, what

254
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: if one of these guys on Saturday gets a huge knockout?

255
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Could they cut the line? This dominant five round performance

256
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: in a very good fight. Is that enough?

257
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 4: Probably not enough to cut the line in that sense.

258
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,599
Speaker 4: Now you might be saying, well again, overall resumes and

259
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 4: this was a very quality win by Yon. Yan obviously

260
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 4: has done better work at Bantsawait Hello, He's been a

261
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 4: former championnmer Goa Maydov only has really one high quality win,

262
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 4: which would be the Cory Standhagen one. Yan would arguably

263
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 4: get a maybe should in some people's minds get an

264
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: opportunity to get a title shot. But BC, here's the problem.

265
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 4: If Morob is the champs that we're talking about here

266
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 4: cutting the line. We already saw this fight not too

267
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 4: long ago, which is gonna say it would be different,

268
00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: But the first fight was not that great as a

269
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 4: fun kind of exercise, and it was dominant in favor

270
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 4: of Marob. Again, a second fight might be different, but

271
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: we've at least seen this once and it was kind

272
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,760
Speaker 4: of one sided. You are probably looking for maybe a

273
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: fresher matchup. Also, what I would say is, you do

274
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: have some options at bantamway BC. Could I see an

275
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 4: argument for Yon cutting the line. I don't think it's

276
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 4: the craziest one. I just wouldn't make it. What I

277
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 4: would say is let Nimiga Maydov have a title shot,

278
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 4: freshen it up. Yon could get the winner of that.

279
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 4: Or how about this, Why don't we just run back

280
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:55,640
Speaker 4: Fyodor Jan versus Sugar Shan O'Malley.

281
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 1: What a horrible idea.

282
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: The first fight was close. I thought Yan won that.

283
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 4: By the way, on Friday we did talk about the

284
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: fact that those three losses that he had. I thought

285
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 4: Figgie might throw in an upset, okay wrong on that level,

286
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: But on the other side, he had the two split

287
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 4: decisions and then the loss to Marob. All three of

288
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 4: those guys either were or are champions. The burial of

289
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 4: Yan is premature, so there's a lot of room for

290
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 4: optimism that he could get a title shot again, that

291
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: he could win a title again. But I do think

292
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: rotating in some newer characters into the bantamweight universe is

293
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 4: probably better for the division.

294
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 1: Well Yan, and maybe it was opportunistic sort of brand

295
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: management set afterwards, he has nothing to prove a second

296
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: time against O'Malley that he wants to go straight for

297
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 1: that title against Morob, So we do have Morob's reaction.

298
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 1: He did a live stream during the fight and was

299
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: talking about it, and then he did this video afterwards.

300
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: If you don't mind hitting that up, let's hear from

301
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: the champ.

302
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 8: Great fight, Peter. I like your call out and I

303
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:57,440
Speaker 8: like your respect. Let's go again after two years March eight,

304
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:09,319
Speaker 8: Team Mobile, let's fucking go.

305
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Champ, he's got a date. He's gotta please send location.

306
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 1: He's got that. But it really comes back to what

307
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: we talked about with Umar, like he doesn't have enough

308
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: re prerequisite wins, but he's got that big one against

309
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: the streaking sanm Haagen. So I kind of lean with you.

310
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 1: I think Morab versus Umar is just that sexy ass,

311
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,800
Speaker 1: hardcore fan delight fight that we kind of need to

312
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: see right now. Are you getting the feeling that some

313
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 1: on X or most that Morob just doesn't want to

314
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: lose the title to Umar's When I think this fight

315
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 1: is perfect fifty to fifty Morob Umar, he wants to

316
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: fight anybody but Umar.

317
00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: It seems I don't know how a Umar fight goes.

318
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: I think it's competitive in ways that some of his

319
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 4: other ones have not been.

320
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: But I don't.

321
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: I don't have a strong feeling one way or the

322
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 4: other about it, But I do, I mean, I don't.

323
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 4: I don't know how you can observe what he's doing

324
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: and come to the conclusion that he has an equal

325
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: amount of desire to fight both Umar as well as

326
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 4: Yon or you know, name any other contender who was available.

327
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,679
Speaker 4: It seems pretty clear that there is a difference in

328
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: how much he is seeking out some of these adventures

329
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 4: over the other ones. And again, you sort of understand it.

330
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 4: Your money goes up substantially when you have the title.

331
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: This is not a case like John Jones. I mean,

332
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 4: there's his own one, but you know, he's at the

333
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 4: title the vast majority of his career. All of his

334
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 4: bouts have a title in them, one way or the other.

335
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 4: Morob has had a long journey to get here. He's

336
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 4: trying to preserve that as long as possible. And I

337
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: understand that. So I'm not one of these like buffoons

338
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 4: who's like Morob, who's scared of him. I don't.

339
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: I don't.

340
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 4: Morob doesn't seem afraid of very much at all, and

341
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 4: maybe to his own detriment, to be quite honest with YOUBC, however,

342
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 4: he already beat Yon, he probably feels pretty confident he

343
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: could at least do something similar a second time around.

344
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 4: Nmergamdev is at a bare minimum. BC a little bit

345
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 4: more of a wild card in that respect, and I

346
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 4: just don't think he wants that fight as much.

347
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: I know it's gonna come down to what the UFC

348
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: brass wants. Bringing the topic back to payotor Yan where

349
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: it belongs. You rightfully said in the build up that

350
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 1: you can't hold you those four losses in six fights,

351
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: obviously all beginning with that Dhu loss at the title

352
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: level of al Joe, you can't necessarily hold that against

353
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: Yan because he was so competitive during that stretch. He's

354
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: always taking on elite competition, and at thirty one Luke,

355
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: he did come back here and remind us exactly who

356
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: he is against a very stiff test in Friggaredo, who

357
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: brought it, who was the fresher fighter late, who was

358
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: landing big bombs, wasn't enough. You saw some fifty to

359
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: forty five scorecards. So when we look back at Yan

360
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: during the stretch in which there were a lot of defeats,

361
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: and then we compare it to that performance against Figgi,

362
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 1: what were the differences in your eyes?

363
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 4: Partly just the matchup itself. I did not like Figaredo's

364
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: game plan. The initial inside trip he had in the

365
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: first round with the top control was really great.

366
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: He had the back for a little while.

367
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 4: But couldn't do necessarily a ton with it. I did

368
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 4: give him the first round, but I don't think it's

369
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 4: crazy from fifty to forty five Yon. I totally understand

370
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 4: that he had some things going well for him, but

371
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 4: the big problem was he just wasn't pressing Yan backwards.

372
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 4: He was kind of relenting pressure. That is just a

373
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 4: hard thing. What did we talk about on Friday ABC.

374
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 4: You had to make Yon unsure of what kind of

375
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 4: attack was coming. He was in total control of both

376
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 4: range and real estate.

377
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 1: That's a tough And even though he got takedowns outside

378
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: of the first round where there was a sort of

379
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: a lengthy sequence, Jan was getting right back up for the.

380
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: Most very much, and so he had to spend a

381
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 4: lot of time holding for control, which did not allow

382
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 4: him to put any like abuse down there when he

383
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: had an opportunity otherwise. And so partly was just a matchup.

384
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 4: But again I feel like Yan totally totally was done

385
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: wrong by some of the narrative about that. I thought

386
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 4: he beat Sean O'Malley straight up. I did not think

387
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: he beat Aljo. I thought al Jo the second time

388
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: around him certainly beat him fair. And then the fight

389
00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 4: Morob just I think Morob attempted to sud like fifty

390
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 4: takedowns in their first contest. Again, all former champions, Okay,

391
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 4: you're not going to beat all the champions of your

392
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: time in all likelihood unless you're just generationally special like

393
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 4: John Jones at Light have youweight. Okay, you're not that,

394
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: You're still great. There's still many levels to greatness beyond

395
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: just being generationally set apart from everyone else walking the

396
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,119
Speaker 4: earth at the exact same time. And we have a

397
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 4: hard time differentiating that because there are different ways to

398
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 4: measure greatness, or measure at least elite quality.

399
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: BC.

400
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: Is he generationally great? No, I don't think so. But

401
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 4: he's the elite skills everywhere. He is hard to hold down.

402
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 4: He's hard to take down. By the way, how about

403
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 4: some of those combos where he was hitting them, making

404
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 4: him move a direction and then intercepting them on the

405
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,639
Speaker 4: other side.

406
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 1: Or the way he was setting up those those quick

407
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 1: snatched takedowns where he was coming over with the overhand

408
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: left and then pulling the.

409
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 4: Chill stepping in. Oh, Soto Garia, whatever you want.

410
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I don't know those fancy words that Bisping

411
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: was using. He used a lot of words bisbeing on

412
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: that broadcast. He tends to dominate every broadcast that he's onto.

413
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 4: A detrimental hefe not the most parsimonious.

414
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't know how he is at power Slab because

415
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I would never watch that. But uh, it wasn't great

416
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: Oh look, Yan was was reborn. He was completely well

417
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: rounded in this the takedown, defensibility to scramble and get

418
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 1: up so quickly, the meanness was back, that sort of

419
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,239
Speaker 1: edge that he brings to it. He always had an

420
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: answer for pretty much anything. Figure he had now, Figure,

421
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: to his credit, was in this fight. Even if he

422
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 1: scored it five nothing. He was in this fight for

423
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,040
Speaker 1: big stretches. I forgot if it was round two or three,

424
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: but I gave I edged it to Figgy because he

425
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: had a big rally at the end.

426
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 4: Was it four not four?

427
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 1: Because then in four he does get the knockdown. Yes,

428
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: but I didn't love his work the rest of the way.

429
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: But we did find out from Piotryan afterwards that that

430
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: that punching round four did impact him. Let's listen to him.

431
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: So I think it's a less boy.

432
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:39,320
Speaker 4: You know.

433
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,639
Speaker 5: When he landed this knock down with his punch, you know,

434
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 5: I thought, you know, it's not a new year yet,

435
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 5: but fireworks already started, and maybe I was lost for

436
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,400
Speaker 5: a little second, but then I was recovered pretty fast

437
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 5: and knew what's going on. You know, it's a tough sport,

438
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 5: you know, you can leand tough punches. You know, it's

439
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 5: anything can happen, so you have to be you can

440
00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:02,120
Speaker 5: be broken or he can keep going.

441
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: I just love the you can see it in his face,

442
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: like everything is back, the mojo is back, you know

443
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like he's been battle tested, He's been

444
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,800
Speaker 1: through a tough stretch. Everyone was sort of, you know,

445
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 1: kind of thinking this was maybe the end of him

446
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 1: at the elite level, even though he's right around that

447
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: thirty year old age mark. But it seemed like there

448
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: was almost this relief in Yon to get this opportunity

449
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: to come back and be himself again. And it wasn't

450
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: like he wasn't that far from himself in recent fights,

451
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: but even separate from the results, they're just lacked an edge.

452
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know, it seemed like that knee against Al

453
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: Joe really set him back for a while, not completely,

454
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: not making him wash, not making him where those even

455
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: the ad you know, the addition of those losses didn't

456
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: didn't bring down completely what we think of him, But

457
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: he just picked it all back up for this fight,

458
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 1: and it was really refreshing to see.

459
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 4: I thought it was he he looked in flow state.

460
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 4: He looked like they had a clear understanding of what

461
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 4: they were up against, how Figure would react, and then

462
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 4: how to build offense thereafter. By the way, Yan a

463
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: characteristically slow st art. Again, I think you could give

464
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 4: Figure round one if you were really if you wanted to.

465
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 4: I did in real time upon rewatch. Maybe not as ironclad. Nevertheless,

466
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 4: he got right to work in challenging those positions and

467
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,199
Speaker 4: then from there on out. Yes, he got rocked in

468
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 4: round four or whatever, but who won this fight for

469
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 4: longer stretches obviously Yon, and he I think got to

470
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 4: work a little bit quicker despite having some of the

471
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,119
Speaker 4: grappling challenges in the first round. Yes, then normal and

472
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: so you know you mentioning the confidence he had to

473
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 4: know how it had to be very frustrating to lose

474
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 4: fights against guys this good, this closely. And I wonder

475
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 4: what it's done in the training room to make him

476
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 4: sharpen up, just a few different things, because he was

477
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 4: never that out of it. So you don't need a

478
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 4: big correction, but you might need the small right adjustment.

479
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 4: And maybe FIGUREDO doesn't tell us if he got all

480
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 4: of those answers, but he's still obviously in the ballpark.

481
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 4: Still obviously he hasn't. He hasn't dropped off to me

482
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 4: in skill level in any discernible way. If anything, BC,

483
00:20:58,480 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 4: he's still getting better, but he was.

484
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: Kind of forgotten at the title level of late with

485
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: the losses. So now to inject him right back in

486
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: the mix in an already deep division. We got some

487
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 1: fun things ahead in the future. This fight did give

488
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: us a bunch by the way of feel good moments.

489
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: How good did you feel when Yan and Figgie get

490
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: up on the cage at the end after five rounds

491
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: and just look at each other with that brotherly respect,

492
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: like yeah, like look at us. We fucking did it.

493
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't fight of the year, but that was

494
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: a really nice encapsulation of elite martial arts with two

495
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 1: former champions coming together.

496
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it wasn't one of these things where it was like,

497
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 4: to your point, fight of the year or like, oh

498
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 4: my god, that was, you know, exhausting to watch as

499
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 4: in a good way as a spectator, but it was

500
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 4: high level. It was thought you know what it was.

501
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 4: It was thoughtful the whole way through, and it was

502
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 4: at times nip and tuck. At times the action let

503
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,439
Speaker 4: loose a little bit more, but everyone was trying to

504
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: build off of what had just happened, and to see

505
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,639
Speaker 4: the challenge to that, and then the challenge to that,

506
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: and then the challenge to that. It was fun, it

507
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 4: was dynamic, it was smart.

508
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:56,679
Speaker 1: It was Saturday morning over a couple of coffee.

509
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 4: Was great. It was a really really thoughtful, good fight. Again,

510
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 4: that wasn't even necessarily a number one contenders fight. It

511
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,720
Speaker 4: was kind of close to that. It may end up

512
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 4: being that way, but my point is it wasn't even

513
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: a sure fire number one contender battle. And look at

514
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,119
Speaker 4: how high quality it was. Just a vision is just

515
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 4: high level.

516
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: Well I'll get there. Wasn't even better, by the way,

517
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 1: a wholesome moment. We'll get to it in a second.

518
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,719
Speaker 1: But speaking of Yan, I'm trying to is there a

519
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: correlation here historically or in recent memory where somebody was

520
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 1: a champion then had even though we're four losses in

521
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: six fights, his performances didn't degrade. He was still an

522
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,000
Speaker 1: elite fighter in those performances. But I'm trying to remember,

523
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 1: have we seen a fighter lose that many times after

524
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 1: losing the belt and then make another run, another comeback,

525
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: Because he looks like he's on the verge of another

526
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 1: run here and at thirty one, you know he's not

527
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: past it. Someone taking that many losses and been counted

528
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: out only to turn that around. I can't long one. Look,

529
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: you got anybody else top of your head?

530
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 4: No, I'm racking my brain.

531
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: I can't think of anyone. I mean, it's not the same.

532
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 4: Aldo got smoked by McGregor and then got the interim

533
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 4: title backsp meeting Frankie.

534
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 1: But this is four losses and six fights, all in

535
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 1: either title fights or very elite.

536
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 4: Fight, right right, So that would be different. And obviously

537
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 4: Katore had issues. But then we change divisions. Yes, so

538
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 4: that's not quite the same either, because he's staying in

539
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 4: the in the shark infested waters. And then Max lost

540
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: the title and got the BMF one up aweight class.

541
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: But that's not what you're talking about here.

542
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,639
Speaker 1: I mean, although going through the two stoppage losses to

543
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: Max at about the same age and then turning it

544
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 1: back around as maybe a decent comparison, but that's not

545
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,159
Speaker 1: as many losses in that sense. It's wild, it's crazy,

546
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 1: it's it's very good to see and it performed produced.

547
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: Excuse me, the moment I'm talking about This was during

548
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 1: the post fight interview. I hope you have c doesn't

549
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:36,199
Speaker 1: take down our show today for showing this, but I

550
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 1: had to take the risk because it's a father and

551
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: son moment that just had to touch you right in

552
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 1: the field zone. Let's watch it. I'm dead. Oh god,

553
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: Chris Widman is still my boy. Dude.

554
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,439
Speaker 4: That was awesome, right, yeah, it was nice to do

555
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: the show with you today.

556
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 5: That.

557
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: We had a good run.

558
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 4: Seriously, dude, that that's come on, that's I just want

559
00:23:59,920 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 4: to I mean, the wholesome moments don't mean shit to me.

560
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 1: Because you don't have a soul to old.

561
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 9: Well.

562
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 4: Also, do they did that?

563
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: We didn't even mention it.

564
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 4: They did the step a miochicch fucking in you know

565
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 4: at seven am. Yes, yeah, you guys gonna be fought

566
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 4: last week. But okay, neither here nor there. I just

567
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: want to point this out. You know, al jamn Sterling

568
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 4: was a champion, had a good run at it, but

569
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 4: it didn't last. It only lasted so long. John O'Malley

570
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: similar kind of thing, and Yon a similar kind of thing.

571
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 4: It didn't last all that long? How could it? It's

572
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 4: very difficult. Morob is up against it. He's probably gonna

573
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 4: have to fight maybe Yan again, or probably never get

574
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,120
Speaker 4: made off. I don't know how much longer his title

575
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: run will be. This is what I mean, I don't know. Like,

576
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 4: think about how good you have to be just to

577
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: be a top contender in this division, much less a champion,

578
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 4: much less a champion who has multiple title defenses.

579
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 1: And this is my point.

580
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 4: People bagging on how he lost four of six, one

581
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 4: of which was the DQ, and then we mentioned the

582
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,439
Speaker 4: other ones were all to champion, All four were all

583
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 4: to champions. How good do you have to be to

584
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,640
Speaker 4: be better than all of those guys? Think about how

585
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 4: massively insanely good you have to be to be able

586
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,360
Speaker 4: to be like, I'm going to hold this belt for

587
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 4: five title defenses at one hundred and thirty five pounds.

588
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 4: You have to be exceptional beyond what we have known

589
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 4: in history to be true to this point. So anybody

590
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 4: who can get that title is insane. If he can

591
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 4: get back there and get another one, Dude, recapturing a

592
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 4: belt at one thirty five after that many losses under

593
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,680
Speaker 4: that much time too has expired, that is insane.

594
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 1: Well, he had his wife, his kids at the fight,

595
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: and jan caught up with Helen Yee Sports. I gotta

596
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: shout at Helen Yee. She did a ton of interviews

597
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: with fighters on this card heading in in Mander with

598
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 1: some Yes, it was very impressive. I see here's Ye

599
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: talking to Yan about this wholesome moment involving his son.

600
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 9: Your family standing front row. Your son came in there. Afterwards,

601
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 9: he was crying. He made a lot of grown men

602
00:25:53,560 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 9: cry tonight. How special was that for you?

603
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 5: For him, it will be a good example, good lesson

604
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 5: for me life.

605
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 9: Well, he's very proud of you, and he doesn't call

606
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 9: you brother anymore, right my son?

607
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's proud, yes, Brad.

608
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 5: But for him I'm a father, brother and a friend.

609
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: I think they've been watching too much Habiban Islam and everybody. Brother, brother, brother.

610
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Great to see now. Figgi on the other hand, thirty

611
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: six years old. Credible performance for sure, couldn't get over

612
00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: the hamp. It stops a three fight win streak. I mean,

613
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 1: it's it's weird to say. How much more do you

614
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: think he has left at this level? Because I didn't

615
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 1: think he'd get to this level when he moved up

616
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: in Wait following the four fight series with Brandon Moreno,

617
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: what would be a good fight for him next? And

618
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,960
Speaker 1: is he still a threat here? Lingering around this deep

619
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 1: title run?

620
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 4: I think him versus s that's a hell of a fight,

621
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 4: that's a fun one does this style of work.

622
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: He's a smaller, he's smaller this way well enough.

623
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 4: To win a belt, but everybody else probably, Yeah.

624
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: He's got like if his opponent has wrestling deficiency, that

625
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: certainly can buy him time and fights. And he's such

626
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: a good counterpuncher and really loads up on his shots.

627
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: But was this his window that he needed a win here?

628
00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean, I think this is the kind of performance. Again,

629
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:21,679
Speaker 4: losing to Pyodrian is not some kind of mark of shame,

630
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 4: far from it. However, I am now skeptical of any

631
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: chance he has to win a title in this weight class.

632
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,720
Speaker 4: One never knows. You could fill in last minute, and

633
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 4: you certainly saw it to your point in round four.

634
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 4: He's got dynamic power for even that one.

635
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 1: He was so much better stamina at this weight class,

636
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: so he was he was freshly.

637
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 4: So so there there are many many things to still

638
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 4: like about Figgy. But saying to yourself, okay, there are

639
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 4: things I like, are those sufficient for claiming a weight

640
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 4: class title. Probably not okay, and so for that reason

641
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 4: I still am high on him. There's a bunch of

642
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: fun matchups, dude. You know, honestly, he's kind of tailor

643
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 4: made for like a BMF at one thirty five. I'm

644
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 4: not calling for that. I'm not begging them to make that.

645
00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 4: But if they were to say, hey, we have to

646
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 4: make a bantamweight title fight for BMF. Who are you

647
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:05,880
Speaker 4: putting in there?

648
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: Top ten? Who are you putting in there a BMF?

649
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: But Max is the BMF champion. We're gonna have a

650
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 1: BMF title at each weight class. Just just hear me out.

651
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 4: Just imagine they said that, Brian Campbell will call you up,

652
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 4: give us a we go Figi versus who who would you.

653
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,760
Speaker 1: Make bantam waight Jose Aldough?

654
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 4: You could do that. That's fun.

655
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 1: That's some Brazilian Brazil.

656
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 7: I've been looking at the rankings and sitting on that

657
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 7: Jose Aldo match up for a minute now. For when

658
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 7: you guys ask me, I like that fight a lot.

659
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 1: That'd be bad ass because it put Jose back in

660
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: the big ish fight, you know with Figs.

661
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 4: And and again, no one has like weight class title

662
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,479
Speaker 4: aspirations for Jose Aldo, so you can just let them

663
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:42,960
Speaker 4: let a bang.

664
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: Okay, do you think it's better if if the BMF

665
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: was handled by the UFC as a once a year fight,

666
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: so like you could have a list of annual BMF

667
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 1: champions rather than you win the belt and then you

668
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: get to defend it, which was broken up by Jorge

669
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:58,560
Speaker 1: winning the belt from Diaz and then going right into

670
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 1: a title fight. So like people still think tomorrow's the

671
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: lineal BMF champion. I guess until he lost.

672
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 4: I don't know what the best way he has to

673
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: do that, To be honest with you, I don't know.

674
00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe once a year like at the MSG

675
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: card for example, we go we're doing a BMF fight,

676
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 1: So that means it could be open to men, women, whatever.

677
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 4: You know what they should do like there can Part

678
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 4: of the problem was they made the prizes the same.

679
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:20,960
Speaker 4: Yes it's a silver belt, but it's still a belt. Yes,

680
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 4: they should have made them like like one of those

681
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 4: Pride gigantic trophies where like signify something you won on

682
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 4: that night, but obviously it expires on that night. You

683
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 4: know what, Cinderella her slippers, you know, the pumpkin or

684
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 4: the characters back into a pumpkin.

685
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: I want to read maga hat autographed by the president

686
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: out from outside the cage after you win it, but

687
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: it comes off of his head and onto yours, not

688
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: for me. Per We're not that far away from that far.

689
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 4: Do you want to say what I'm saying? Making a

690
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 4: trophy that signifies an achievement on that evening, but no

691
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 4: one has any expectations about defending it. There's nothing to defend.

692
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: It was just the thing you win on that night.

693
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I'm with that. I'm with that. I jacket

694
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 1: would be like a cool like eighty satin jacket. That's

695
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:05,960
Speaker 1: as best as.

696
00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 4: A big old fucking check, like a you know, make

697
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: it like a big a five million dollar prize.

698
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 1: Oh you mean like bkfc's twenty five million dollar tournament coming.

699
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 4: Up, something like that, and then you know, do a

700
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 4: Pritt style. You get a big trophy, they drop confetti

701
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,239
Speaker 4: from the sky, they give you a big check, an

702
00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 4: oversized check, and everyone has a great time and then

703
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 4: you're like, oh, who was the big guy that night? Figure?

704
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 1: Who?

705
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,320
Speaker 4: Whatever?

706
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: I didn't see a press release for Connor's situation from Endeavor,

707
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 1: by the way, or TKO.

708
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:30,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder why that is.

709
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, well he probably paid enough in legal fees. As

710
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:34,920
Speaker 1: usually Data's response, you know, to he's got he was

711
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:35,720
Speaker 1: penalized enough in.

712
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 4: His penalty will be social ostracism.

713
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: There you go. We'll get to Connor by the way.

714
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: Let's keep going though on this card to topic number two,

715
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,239
Speaker 1: and that's the Macau undercard headline, of course, by two

716
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: big results, Yon Shao Nan and the Cole main event

717
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: making her claim for a second chance, potentially at the

718
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 1: one fifteen title. And we'll get to Wang Tong coming

719
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 1: in as one of the biggest betting favorites to get

720
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: upset in UFC memory. But Luke, let's start with Yan Channan. Here,

721
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:07,640
Speaker 1: Tabitha Ricci the opponent. Chau Nan was absolutely dominant in

722
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 1: cooling off a version of Ricci who suddenly didn't look

723
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: so ready for prime time. Was this performance, in your eyes,

724
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: more about Yan reclaiming that elite status similar to Payota

725
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: Yan in the main event, not that Yan Chanon really

726
00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 1: lost it despite losing a competitive five round decision.

727
00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:23,479
Speaker 4: To way Lee.

728
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,800
Speaker 1: Or is this more about Ricci proving that she still

729
00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: has a long way to go to be title ready?

730
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: In these matchup I.

731
00:31:30,080 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 4: Think I hate these answers, but it really is quite true.

732
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 4: I found Ricci to be lacking, which was something we

733
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 4: were a little bit worried about on Friday. We said that,

734
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 4: you know, there was a problem with having enough devastation

735
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 4: in her game, but it's more than that. Like, the

736
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 4: reason why she can't engage in enough devastation with the

737
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: damage is because she has trouble, in this particular case

738
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 4: closing the distance and when it's on the ground, it's

739
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 4: maintaining control position enough that you can open up. There's

740
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 4: key fundamentals missing in the game.

741
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't that finishing power and has small limbs. That's a

742
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 1: problem unless you're like ears fast.

743
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 4: So how do I navigate this distance in a way

744
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 4: to do something meaningful that is still an arm She

745
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 4: ran ideas, Yeah, and again it was up against somebody

746
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:10,480
Speaker 4: who was, you know, a former title contender in this division.

747
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 4: She wasn't fighting some chump. But it also looked to

748
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 4: me like jan Cha Nan knew she had the upper

749
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 4: hand and behaved in it was kind of it, I

750
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 4: say this in a good way, kind of a bullion

751
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 4: there at times, especially when it went Lake kicking her

752
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 4: in the face.

753
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: Her counter right hand, the same right hand that put

754
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Jessica and Rash to sleep, which is no joke in

755
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: women's fighting, especially against somebody that legendary that every time

756
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: Ricci tried to mount offense right hand counter down the

757
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:33,680
Speaker 1: middle end of.

758
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 4: Discussion, she got disciplined and held at bay. And it

759
00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 4: was just a superior fighter against a less superior fighter.

760
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,479
Speaker 4: It was not that Ricci looked bad. We are not

761
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 4: saying Riccie looked bad. That's not the argument we're making.

762
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 4: But she did look BC competent but limited.

763
00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: Limited is the right word.

764
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 4: Competent but limited, and that's just not enough to earn

765
00:32:54,560 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 4: a title shot in the Ultimate Fighting Championship. Competent but

766
00:32:56,840 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 4: limited is good. It can get you something. It's certainly

767
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 4: hard to do nothing we could ever do, but it's

768
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 4: not enough to what you were describing, which is to

769
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 4: reach these kind of lofty heights. I thought Yan looked great,

770
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 4: I thought Richie looked fine, but that's not enough.

771
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure what the actual answer is, Like,

772
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: what is this fight more about what Yan did or

773
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: what Richie didn't. What Yan did though, at thirty five,

774
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 1: was come back and completely remind us who she is.

775
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:21,880
Speaker 1: And here's what's crazy, Like this is actually kind of

776
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:25,160
Speaker 1: the perfect setting for this performance. It's in Macau in China.

777
00:33:25,200 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: There Yong Jung Wa Lee's in the crowd, and look

778
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,600
Speaker 1: right away, I'm thinking, all right, good idea to have

779
00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: a great performance and call for an immediate title shot.

780
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,400
Speaker 1: But I'm kind of wondering. Now, let's talk about one fifteen.

781
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 1: Suddenly it was my favorite division forever. It seemed forever deep,

782
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 1: like the top ten was legitimate from the start in

783
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, and it always felt like we had three

784
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: or four five potential champions on the roster. If you

785
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: look at the rankings right now at strawweight, with Tachiana

786
00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: Suarez being injured, with Mackenzie Dern being inconsistent and really

787
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,280
Speaker 1: unable to put together like two or three fight win

788
00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:00,920
Speaker 1: streaks to get they've been waiting to give a title shot, right,

789
00:34:01,640 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 1: does it actually make sense that Yan chan Nan getting

790
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: a second chance is probably the fight to make People

791
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: are complaining that Whaley's been inactive. They just want to

792
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 1: see her back in We always said that when those

793
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,239
Speaker 1: two fought, it should have been in China. Instead, they

794
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 1: put it on UFCRE three hundred at the time that

795
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 1: they needed another title fight. There, I'm wondering if she

796
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:23,120
Speaker 1: didn't just perfectly auditioned in China with Wayley their cage side,

797
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: where it actually makes the most sense, let's do this

798
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: and let's do it again some more over there.

799
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 4: Maybe I don't. I didn't necessarily get that vibe. Although

800
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 4: that's again that division is a little strange.

801
00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 1: But it's like, who's gonna If it's not her, it's

802
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,799
Speaker 1: gonna be Ernard Janjuroba, who's on a good run. But like,

803
00:34:39,200 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: are you screaming she should be in the next title shot?

804
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: No, there's not a real great there's not a huge

805
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 4: amount of push for her to be in that position. Yeah,

806
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,440
Speaker 4: you make a good point. You can certainly go that direction.

807
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,360
Speaker 4: I hadn't given it much thought, to be perfectly honest

808
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 4: with you, But.

809
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: How close do you think she was at three hundred?

810
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: Was she she was in that fight?

811
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,080
Speaker 4: There was you know, it was a I never felt

812
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,359
Speaker 4: like she was really all that it is. I mean,

813
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 4: in this particular case, she knocked the champ down. Fine,

814
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 4: she can thump, you know, which we knew. But I

815
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 4: never felt like she really I never felt like that

816
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,759
Speaker 4: about was in doubt about which way it would go

817
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 4: once it really got started. In this particular case, I

818
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 4: will say something that we thought, what's going to be

819
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 4: the most relevant metric the fact that Ricci is twenty

820
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 4: nine and shaw Nan is thirty five? Yes, or is

821
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 4: it going to be that hu Nan was ranked two

822
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,880
Speaker 4: in this division Ricci was ranked ten. Turns out it

823
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,040
Speaker 4: was the latter that was the most important one that

824
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 4: was a big step up for Ricci and again performed competently,

825
00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:40,239
Speaker 4: but it was too big of a step up. It

826
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 4: turned out yon ch Nan holding serve essentially at the

827
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 4: number two position, really showing us that there are qualities

828
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 4: between one to five and then six to ten.

829
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 1: For sure. In this the limitations, as we said, limited

830
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: the limitations of what Riccie couldn't do. So I see

831
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,400
Speaker 1: a lot of criticism. Excuse me, I got soda burbs

832
00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,520
Speaker 1: that have to come out trying.

833
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 4: Oh wow, wow, you are a disgusting barn animal.

834
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 1: By the way. Over the weekend with the family, I

835
00:36:05,040 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 1: saw the new rock Christmas movie, The Red One. Actually,

836
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: it's actually pretty good.

837
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,719
Speaker 4: My daughter in the back seat yesterday kept saying over

838
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,320
Speaker 4: and over when we left the park I love farting.

839
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 4: She kept going, I love farting, I love farting.

840
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: She's a Thomas look back to Ricci. A lot of

841
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:26,920
Speaker 1: criticism on line that seemed to be echoed from the

842
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,840
Speaker 1: broadcast by the way that maybe it's not just what

843
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about, like a lack of finishing power at

844
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 1: this elite level. They talked about not as much of

845
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: a variety of a kicking game. Then maybe she should

846
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 1: have maybe too much focus on boxing. And then even

847
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: though she has success with takedowns from the clench, her

848
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 1: does not. She's not the ability to shoot a double

849
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: or single or pull it that way. Do you see that?

850
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,399
Speaker 1: For her to get over this home, she's gonna need

851
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: major changes. Some people are saying a new camp. I mean,

852
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,320
Speaker 1: is there like, is there a way she figured o camp?

853
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 4: I don't know, because that those are very big considerations.

854
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: Those when people say new, Oh you just get a

855
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 4: new camp, that often means like leaving the state. Yeah.

856
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: Are you're saying more of a new focus.

857
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: Maybe yeah, or some of leaving the country, depending on

858
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 4: your perspective. These are a little bit harder to do

859
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 4: than folks might imagine. I would say this, it's clearly,

860
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:17,239
Speaker 4: whatever she's doing is not enough. It's not enough. How

861
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,160
Speaker 4: that problem is solved. I kind of leave to her

862
00:37:19,160 --> 00:37:20,719
Speaker 4: without understanding more of the specifics.

863
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: Or would you agree in theory that if there was

864
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 1: the threat of a takedown, not just in the clinch,

865
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:27,240
Speaker 1: it would improve her striking.

866
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 4: So much more significantly significantly. But these are a series

867
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:32,480
Speaker 4: of problems. It's really not one or the other. It's

868
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 4: not one thing that I think, well, it could be

869
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,360
Speaker 4: something that one coach could fix, but you'd really have

870
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 4: to have the right one, dude.

871
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: It's hard. Like Pooton has no business having the takedown

872
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,560
Speaker 1: defense and ability on the ground that he has. He

873
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have great ability on the ground, but he also

874
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 1: has not been submitted down there right right, and he

875
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,200
Speaker 1: just seemed to adjust to it like that working with

876
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: Glover and just being a special freak. I'm never sure

877
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: how realistic it is for us to say, well, if

878
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: you just add your wrestling or if you just fix

879
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: this in this part of the game, Like if you're

880
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 1: if you're a great athlete and a willing student and

881
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 1: you have a good coach, is that a winning formula?

882
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: It will work.

883
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 4: You'll get you'll get better you won't necessarily get across

884
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:09,760
Speaker 4: what the finish line is that you need to relevant

885
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 4: to your goals. So for example, B see if I

886
00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 4: trained with Usain bolt on sprinting, would I get faster

887
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:18,719
Speaker 4: sprinting than I would necessarily on my own or with

888
00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 4: a different coach?

889
00:38:19,400 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 6: Yes?

890
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,879
Speaker 4: Probably, yes, But I'm not going to qualify for any

891
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:25,040
Speaker 4: Olympic trials. Right, there's the difference. You will get better,

892
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,359
Speaker 4: but are you going to get better enough to match

893
00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 4: what your ambition is? That's a separate consideration altogether. See

894
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:34,120
Speaker 4: I see that brain turning, see those wheels turning.

895
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: No, I mean I'm always conjuring up counter skits and bits.

896
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 1: I just have to make the game time decision is

897
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,399
Speaker 1: going to derail the show for one that doesn't land.

898
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: Can I be Sully Sullenberger or am I Corey Litl instead?

899
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:45,680
Speaker 1: That's the question.

900
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

901
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,960
Speaker 1: It's wow, I mean, okay, let's keep it going here, Luke.

902
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: Also on this card, by the way, China's Wang Tong,

903
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: who does the joker bit, thirty five year old, has

904
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 1: a win over Chevchenko and kickboxing seem to be I'm

905
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: the fast track toward a flyway title. No. More folks.

906
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: Gabriella Gabby Fernandez from Brazil really just waded out all

907
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: of the threat of Tong's striking, and once they got

908
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:19,200
Speaker 1: deeper into that fight, turned one huge counter left hand

909
00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 1: that floored Tong into an instant back take and then

910
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: almost an instant tap. So, Luke, this is the first

911
00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 1: pro defeat for Tong in seven fights. It's a massive loss.

912
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 1: How much caused for concern for Wang Tong, who was

913
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: doing all the right things and telling us and the

914
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,280
Speaker 1: UFC brass that she's the next star. Look, she's ready.

915
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:40,920
Speaker 1: That bit she did at the way in with the

916
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: flip the coin and all that, it was brilliant and

917
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 1: it's not like she fought awful here. She was in

918
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 1: control for a lot of it, but when it went

919
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 1: south the fight was over. Does this derail her plans

920
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: or is this just a learning curve in this game

921
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 1: that you can't fake.

922
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 4: I think I could be ready to forgive it. You'll

923
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,320
Speaker 4: recall Schevchenko law to Nonez the first time. Greater is

924
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,760
Speaker 4: very different. She was losing and then rallied back strongly,

925
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,839
Speaker 4: but she did lose, you know what I mean, Like

926
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 4: it wasn't necessarily the case that she had this impeccable

927
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,000
Speaker 4: run to the title, and that was also.

928
00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 1: When a number one contenders fight, though that wasn't innate.

929
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:15,759
Speaker 4: Understand there's meaningful differences. I'm not trying to compare the

930
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 4: two one to apples to apples. I understand that there's

931
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:21,200
Speaker 4: there's a lot that's different. I'm pointing out just because

932
00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:23,240
Speaker 4: she lost this one and lost it kind of badly

933
00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:26,440
Speaker 4: in the end, does not It's not like proof that

934
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:28,319
Speaker 4: she can't win a title. It's really not what I'm

935
00:40:28,320 --> 00:40:30,920
Speaker 4: trying to say. However, what I think came across and

936
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,560
Speaker 4: I watched it again on the train ride up BC,

937
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,879
Speaker 4: which was she was buying her own hype a little

938
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 4: bit here, right. That was the red flag to me

939
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 4: was Okay, getting knocked out is not great, but the

940
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,800
Speaker 4: way in which she just was very dismissive of anything

941
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:50,520
Speaker 4: Fernandez could do, beat very close to her, standing close

942
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 4: to her, getting head kicked, and then not really trying

943
00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 4: to clinch, just keep standing back at rain.

944
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: The head kick is really et cetera.

945
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,560
Speaker 4: I remember it kind of spilled out over the top

946
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:00,720
Speaker 4: of her neck and knocked her over. She caught herself

947
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 4: in her hands and stood back up. Immediately and then

948
00:41:02,960 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 4: she just ate that gigantic left hand, but she was

949
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:06,719
Speaker 4: rock She was kind of doing a little bit of

950
00:41:06,719 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 4: a little bit of the fish dance. It's like, I

951
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,680
Speaker 4: can forgive this because, hey, we don't exactly know how

952
00:41:11,719 --> 00:41:13,799
Speaker 4: good Fernandez is. We'll find out, maybe we'll find out

953
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 4: that fernand is actually amazing and has like super great power,

954
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,640
Speaker 4: and you know, Okay, it's totally understandable. But it is

955
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,879
Speaker 4: very apparent on tape to me that that Kong did

956
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 4: not have respect for her opponent, was very much just

957
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 4: trying to let it go, backing up in straight lines

958
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 4: at times, like being a little bit undisciplined and dismissive

959
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,719
Speaker 4: on the defensive end. Not an accident that this happened again,

960
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:38,320
Speaker 4: be hindsight.

961
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 1: She put to sleep. She like that was quick, dude,

962
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: that choke was in.

963
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 4: And I didn't know anything about Fernandez watching this fight,

964
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 4: and then I go and see what she was doing,

965
00:41:47,760 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 4: and I was like, dude, Fernandez doesn't look bad. But

966
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,319
Speaker 4: remember Fernandez landed a couple of big strikes in the

967
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 4: first round too. Now that was a much better round

968
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 4: for Kong. I'm not saying that Kong lost the round.

969
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 4: Kong won that round walking away. But it wasn't like

970
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,280
Speaker 4: Fernanda is just wilted in the first round.

971
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: No, she was so game. She was a plus seven

972
00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:07,040
Speaker 1: fifty underdog coming in. We more or less dismissed her

973
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,600
Speaker 1: as who which which fighter is this? But I mean

974
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:11,680
Speaker 1: we didn't have the info, and now you find out, well,

975
00:42:11,719 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: there was a picture of her in Amanda Newness that

976
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,799
Speaker 1: was recently taken to MMA Masters, and you find out,

977
00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: like Amanda who lived at the gym and MMA Masters

978
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 1: for almost a year before eventually finding, you know, a

979
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:23,839
Speaker 1: place to live in Florida, Bernandez is doing the same

980
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 1: thing living at that gym. She mentioned in the postfight

981
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: interview that she'd just gone through the loss of her father,

982
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,799
Speaker 1: the loss of a sibling, so she and she was

983
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: like severely injured coming in, she had a leg injury.

984
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 1: Because she took the opportunity, bit down and created a

985
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: big moment, I'm excited. I mean, we don't have an

986
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 1: answer for like what's next for her? How good is she?

987
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 1: This was day one, But we've seen origin stories kind

988
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,839
Speaker 1: of start like this before, right where someone comes in

989
00:42:46,920 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 1: under turmoil, but it's just so driven gets an opportunity

990
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,839
Speaker 1: scores a big upset, and then it's sort of like, oh,

991
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: we should have seen that coming all along. I wonder

992
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:55,839
Speaker 1: if she turns into one of those stories again.

993
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:58,279
Speaker 4: I mean again, there's manyful differences between this comparison. But

994
00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 4: I remember when Joe Lazan fought Jen's pulver and everyone

995
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:04,840
Speaker 4: was like, oh, Pulver's gonna pulverize this, pulverizes guy and

996
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:07,840
Speaker 4: then Lozan fucking viciously chaosom in the first round. I believe,

997
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,960
Speaker 4: And you know, you're just like, oh, well, there's more

998
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 4: to the story than I realized that there was. Again,

999
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 4: will that be the case here? Only time will tell.

1000
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 4: But and the maze full of these kinds of Oh, actually,

1001
00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:22,520
Speaker 4: the story is not about X. The story is about why.

1002
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,320
Speaker 1: Chuck Mindenhall was right, you know, the Izzy versus Poles.

1003
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 1: He was definitely right.

1004
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 4: But also is he reclaimed some of that by finishing

1005
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,240
Speaker 4: him and then him moving on to the next division.

1006
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 1: If he had a full head of hair? Would you

1007
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: not have questioned him there and said he was right?

1008
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: Full stop? Are you still wounded by the return of

1009
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:39,479
Speaker 1: the Jedi vibes?

1010
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 4: I've seen I've seen the ball Dome years before, Magie.

1011
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: Yes, all right, I mentioned the fourth biggest dog to

1012
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:49,320
Speaker 1: cash in UFC history. Fernandez was plus seven fifty.

1013
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 4: Is she the biggest dog in UFC fight night history? No,

1014
00:43:54,280 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 4: the other ones that happened.

1015
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:58,439
Speaker 1: On because I thought them. So let's break it down.

1016
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 1: The number one biggest under dog cash out is plus

1017
00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 1: nine to fifty Shanna Dobson against Maria A. Goopova. It

1018
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: was after made her debut. I think that was a

1019
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: fight night. I guess it could have been on the

1020
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 1: undercard of a paper view. I don't remember that ro

1021
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,719
Speaker 1: Munjo's versus Frank Jeger fight night. Yeah, so that was

1022
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:16,960
Speaker 1: plus nine fifty. Was Dobson the number two biggest one?

1023
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 1: Matt Sarah plus eight fifty against GSP in their first fight,

1024
00:44:21,480 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: and then of course Holly Holm plus eight thirty betting

1025
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,800
Speaker 1: underdog and taking down Rowsey in Australia. So that's a

1026
00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 1: big moment there for Gabby Fernandez. We'll see what happens

1027
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: in the future. Luke, let's keep on going down this

1028
00:44:33,680 --> 00:44:36,239
Speaker 1: line here. The light heavyweight tilt between Carlos Olberg and

1029
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 1: Vulcan Uzdemir seemed to be putting somebody into contention and

1030
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: furthering up the rankings. It turned out to be Olberg.

1031
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: It was a three round decision, competitive fight, but I

1032
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 1: think the speed, the accuracy of his countershots continuously beat

1033
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 1: Vulcan to the punch. Although Ozdemir did get some licks in.

1034
00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:56,120
Speaker 1: How impressive was that for Olberg because this continues that

1035
00:44:56,360 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: that winning streak. But yet he's in competitive fights every

1036
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 1: single time, it seems, until he finishes these guys. You

1037
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: didn't get to finish here. But this is probably his

1038
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: best win up to day.

1039
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 4: On the paper, simply, no question. It is his best

1040
00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 4: win over his highest quality opponent. In that sense, you

1041
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 4: really have to give it to him, commend him. I

1042
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 4: thought he had really, for the most part, pretty excellent

1043
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 4: use of the long guard right where he kind of

1044
00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 4: hangs that hand out here like this. I thought his

1045
00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 4: footwork in general, not totally, but in general kept him

1046
00:45:23,040 --> 00:45:26,200
Speaker 4: out of some of the worst punishment that Usdamir was trying.

1047
00:45:26,239 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 4: Didn't make a mistationary target and he couldn't polish him

1048
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 4: off right, which is typically what Olberg does fast counter striking.

1049
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 4: You saw him backing up and hitting that check hook

1050
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,920
Speaker 4: at times, got a brilliant left hook. I mean he's

1051
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:36,720
Speaker 4: maybe his best weapons.

1052
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 1: He has balls in there too.

1053
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 4: He's not afraid to joust, absolutely not afraid of contact.

1054
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:40,839
Speaker 1: So here's what I thought.

1055
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 4: My read on Olberg prior to the fight BC was.

1056
00:45:45,080 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: I felt like he.

1057
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 4: Was offensively good, but limited and not defensively strong, and

1058
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:56,280
Speaker 4: I think in general I still kind of believe that. However,

1059
00:45:56,400 --> 00:46:00,600
Speaker 4: with a pretty big difference. I thought his offense like,

1060
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 4: when he couldn't knock him out, do you have enough

1061
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 4: to maintain the kind of order between the two of

1062
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 4: you for fifteen minutes? And he could at his no

1063
00:46:08,800 --> 00:46:10,840
Speaker 4: small feet, I give him big props for that. I

1064
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:12,959
Speaker 4: do think that his style, to the point you raised

1065
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,280
Speaker 4: his spot on BC, his style is kind of always

1066
00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 4: going to involve a little more contact than you would like,

1067
00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:23,200
Speaker 4: and that might limit his upside. But I also felt

1068
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:26,520
Speaker 4: like his defensive awareness and responsibility keeping his hand up

1069
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 4: on the exit constantly in motion was much better.

1070
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: But the takedown defense, not that a knockout restaurant.

1071
00:46:32,520 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 4: Defense, was great. Getting off the fence, he didn't spend

1072
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 4: a lot of time pinned up against defense. So there's

1073
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 4: a lot to like about Olberg. You go back to

1074
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,520
Speaker 4: did you see somebody in there that can beat Pooton

1075
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:44,439
Speaker 4: well with his speed and his explosivity.

1076
00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:46,520
Speaker 1: Hold On, hold on, I didn't see someone that could

1077
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: be budding.

1078
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:49,360
Speaker 4: Hold On, you don't see someone If they fought ten times,

1079
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 4: Pooton wins the majority of those, Yeah, right, If they

1080
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,839
Speaker 4: fought ten times, Poton wins the majority of those? Does

1081
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 4: he win all ten?

1082
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 1: So you're saying there's a chance.

1083
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 4: I'm just saying, whenever you've got big guys like this

1084
00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 4: who have fast hands and their accurate junger punchers, anything

1085
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 4: is possible. And I've watched enough MMA to be like, bitch,

1086
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 4: anytime you think someone's invincible, that is when they go

1087
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 4: crashing to the mat. I would pick Poeton to win. Please,

1088
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 4: don't misunderstand me.

1089
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: Well, I like the balls that Olberg has seemed to

1090
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:18,960
Speaker 1: show in the build up to this fight, saying that

1091
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 1: you know he's not afraid of Poeton. That's good to hear.

1092
00:47:21,239 --> 00:47:23,520
Speaker 1: What did you think though, of the immediate callout of

1093
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,439
Speaker 1: Khalil Rountree Junior, who's coming off the title level.

1094
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 4: That would tie a lot, But I think it's a

1095
00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:30,200
Speaker 4: great test for both guys.

1096
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 1: He may get knocked out trying Olberg, though he meant Elberg.

1097
00:47:32,640 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 4: Make both guys mind, both guys mine. Both guys are

1098
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 4: probably not going to go for the takedown, so as

1099
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 4: a fan you're going to get stand up action. They

1100
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:43,319
Speaker 4: do have contrasting styles to a degree, although they try

1101
00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:45,319
Speaker 4: to do some of the same things, but they've got

1102
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,440
Speaker 4: contrasting body types. They fight at different ranges with different guards.

1103
00:47:48,800 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 4: It's a fun fight and Khalil, having heard a lot

1104
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 4: of respect in I think overperforming relative to expectations against

1105
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,440
Speaker 4: poetson This would be a quality win for him to

1106
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,400
Speaker 4: get right back on the horse. If you're Olber and

1107
00:48:00,520 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 4: you defeat Bulkan news Demir previous title contender a different era,

1108
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 4: but at previous title contender, and then you beat Khalil Rowntree,

1109
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:10,920
Speaker 4: previous title contender, you're doing some pretty that.

1110
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 1: He's fresh blood. People seem to like him against a

1111
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: good looking guy.

1112
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:22,320
Speaker 4: BC wants to have sex, he's not. I've realized this

1113
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 4: weekend there's a lot of men who want to have

1114
00:48:24,239 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 4: sex with a lot of you guys would like to

1115
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 4: have sex with No.

1116
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,480
Speaker 1: I just real recognize is real really at the end

1117
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 1: of the day, Hey, speaking of our degenerate gambling analyst,

1118
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: if they were to make round Tree versus Oldberg. Next,

1119
00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:35,520
Speaker 1: what do you think the line should be?

1120
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1121
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 7: I was just trying to actually think of that in

1122
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,880
Speaker 7: my head. I'm gonna say it'd be probably pretty close in.

1123
00:48:39,920 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 4: The one hundred range in either direction. Maybe I don't know.

1124
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,320
Speaker 1: I think Roundtree would get the edge because of the power.

1125
00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 4: But what do you think like minus one seventy five

1126
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 4: round close? Either way?

1127
00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you could, you could deem Olberg as hittable

1128
00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 1: and you can't take too many hits against a guy,

1129
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: and a guy like.

1130
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 4: Round Tree is explosive can cover distance.

1131
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,880
Speaker 1: And the thing is Oldberg had the speed advantage over Vulcan.

1132
00:48:58,880 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 1: Will he have that same speed of vanainst Khalil? Probably

1133
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 1: but not nearly as much. Yes, not nearly as much.

1134
00:49:04,719 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 4: There you go.

1135
00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 1: So that was interesting. But Luke, if we're talking about

1136
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 1: who blew up the undercard, it's like, you know who

1137
00:49:09,800 --> 00:49:11,879
Speaker 1: blew up the third stall at the Joseph A Bank?

1138
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: We know who did that? But how about Ming? She

1139
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: the Chinese? So this was what are these official UFC fights?

1140
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,319
Speaker 4: There were road to UFC fights. They're officially sanctioned bouts.

1141
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 1: So she's a full time doctor, her family did not

1142
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: even know she was a fighter. She comes out in

1143
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 1: the red gloves for the Road to UFC set up

1144
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,759
Speaker 1: and then delivers the boom against Fang Jau Khan I.

1145
00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 4: Know, and the referee has to, like gator roll her

1146
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 4: off of her opponent.

1147
00:49:37,360 --> 00:49:39,279
Speaker 1: Dude, that's a first of all, you don't see that

1148
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,279
Speaker 1: in women's fighting for the most part. And then second

1149
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:43,279
Speaker 1: of all, in like one of the early fights of

1150
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: the night, I guess this accomplished what they wanted to.

1151
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:47,640
Speaker 1: This is somebody I want to see.

1152
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 4: Again, she wrote to UFC has been one of the

1153
00:49:50,200 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 4: everyone talks about Contender Series. I'm just here to tell

1154
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,280
Speaker 4: you Road to UFC has better fighters and better fights

1155
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 4: pound for pound. Really, yes, dude, you.

1156
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,320
Speaker 1: Wouldn't say not about the DWCS.

1157
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:04,759
Speaker 4: It's not that Contender Series doesn't have great fighters. Of

1158
00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 4: course they do. They have so many coming through that

1159
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 4: they inevitably will have a lot, But they have a

1160
00:50:09,239 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 4: lot of just filler guys that are ass Contender Series

1161
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 4: is great, but it's got the ass. What we need

1162
00:50:16,320 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 4: is the ass in titties as ass ass in titties,

1163
00:50:19,680 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 4: like DJ Assault once told us, Yes, but BC, I'm

1164
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:25,200
Speaker 4: telling you like the level of like elite prospect coming through.

1165
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 4: Can excuse me. Road to UFC is like the biggest

1166
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 4: slept on thing from casual fans that the UFC does.

1167
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 4: It is high quality.

1168
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: I don't know, I wake the f up, bad segue here,

1169
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 1: But Luke Fang did get knocked out and was down

1170
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 1: for a while. They even brought on the stretcher. And

1171
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,160
Speaker 1: somebody's trying to say, when was the last time we

1172
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:43,000
Speaker 1: saw that. I don't even know what reference to make.

1173
00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:44,680
Speaker 1: I don't know when the last time we saw that was.

1174
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: It turns out the recovery reports are what what would

1175
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:50,759
Speaker 1: you say? Positive? Seems like she's gonna be okay. I

1176
00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: think she'll be.

1177
00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,800
Speaker 4: I mean, that was a bad knockout.

1178
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: That was a vicious knockout. It was kind of scary

1179
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,200
Speaker 1: to see early on though, to start the event with that.

1180
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 4: With that, yes, but also in the UFC sometimes in

1181
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,440
Speaker 4: the this is years ago, years ago, someone would get

1182
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 4: knocked out and stretchered out and they wouldn't report it

1183
00:51:04,719 --> 00:51:07,479
Speaker 4: on the broadcast. I give them credit. They're much better

1184
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 4: about this now. They went back and they updated us,

1185
00:51:09,920 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 4: told us what had happened. And folks take that for granted.

1186
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 4: You never should do that, because a shady ass promotion

1187
00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 4: will hide that kind of a thing. In the UFC

1188
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 4: kept it above board. I appreciate that.

1189
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: Thank you, UFC. Here's the champ though, Young Whyee was

1190
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 1: in the crowd for this. Let's see her reaction to

1191
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,200
Speaker 1: the KO I'd like to see her back in the

1192
00:51:28,239 --> 00:51:29,560
Speaker 1: cage anytime soon, dude.

1193
00:51:29,600 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 4: She was pumped.

1194
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:31,360
Speaker 1: That's me.

1195
00:51:31,480 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 4: When I see the shitters open, oh yeah, let's go me.

1196
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 4: And when the Joseph A Bank has no one in line,

1197
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 4: I can take a dump.

1198
00:51:40,040 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: I love Wayley. She's got a cool personality.

1199
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 4: Everybody likes Whaley. Yeah, there's a few fighters.

1200
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: There's not many. There's a few fighters that.

1201
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,240
Speaker 4: Are basically impossible to dislike.

1202
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:50,880
Speaker 1: But still, I gotta say it. She's going to against.

1203
00:51:50,680 --> 00:51:56,239
Speaker 4: Rose styles make fights, so timing it is.

1204
00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 1: You got anything else to say about this card?

1205
00:51:57,760 --> 00:51:59,239
Speaker 4: No, there were some other good wins along the way,

1206
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 4: oh Muslim Solikov with There was a series of these

1207
00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 4: that were pretty great card in general delivered in.

1208
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: John Allen, did you enjoy the undercard Boats of the

1209
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 1: Road to Yeah.

1210
00:52:10,280 --> 00:52:12,719
Speaker 7: I missed the first like three or four fights because

1211
00:52:12,719 --> 00:52:14,880
Speaker 7: I woke up at like five a m. But overall

1212
00:52:14,960 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 7: pretty good card.

1213
00:52:15,560 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: Okay, did you ingest the THHC during the six a m.

1214
00:52:18,760 --> 00:52:21,160
Speaker 4: Broadcast? What did you smoke?

00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 4: here forgive me. Muslim Salakov obviously got a great win.

1221
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:38,200
Speaker 4: You mentioned Carlos Olberg. If I may, Jesus Christ.

1230
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:01,719
Speaker 1: go to topic number three. Speaking of piece of editorial.

1231
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: Over topic number three, Econor McGregor doubling down on his

1232
00:53:05,360 --> 00:53:09,200
Speaker 1: innocence following the verdict in his civil trial for rape

1233
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:13,320
Speaker 1: sexual assault in which he was found lible. So, Luke Thomas,

1234
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 1: there's a lot to talk about here, and there's a

1235
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 1: lot in the fallout. I want to touch back on

1236
00:53:18,719 --> 00:53:20,800
Speaker 1: something though that we ended when we reacted to this

1237
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:25,719
Speaker 1: live on Friday show and just get your opinion. How

1238
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 1: much do you expect the fallout of this trial to

1239
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:34,319
Speaker 1: affect McGregor's behavior and his reputation in the short term

1240
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:35,959
Speaker 1: for as long as that short term last.

1241
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 4: It's a great question. So let me say a couple

1242
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,160
Speaker 4: things up front. Number one, I was able to get

1243
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 4: an interview. Yeah, I heard with a guide by the

1244
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 4: name of Frank Graney, who is a top prime reporter

1245
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:50,960
Speaker 4: in Ireland who's he worked for News Talk and then

1246
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:53,279
Speaker 4: he also did a podcast just for this trial for

1247
00:53:53,400 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 4: the Irish Times, so you can check out all of that.

1248
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,239
Speaker 4: Big things to by the way, BC, I got a

1249
00:53:59,280 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 4: lot of declines to speak to me about this one.

1250
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 1: Well, you have a reputation among Irish crime reporters from

1251
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:05,440
Speaker 1: John Jones.

1252
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 4: Basically, I don't think that's right. I think what actually

1253
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 4: happened here is that because I was coming from MMA media,

1254
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 4: I think a lot of these crime reporters were imagining

1255
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 4: that I wanted to just launder Connor's image.

1256
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,480
Speaker 1: Yes, and talk about the parts of the case, which

1257
00:54:20,560 --> 00:54:22,279
Speaker 1: there are parts of the case that seem un.

1258
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:26,360
Speaker 4: She had inconsistencies that gray areas in the case that

1259
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 4: she had to address. There's no question about it. But

1260
00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 4: in any case, I got a chance to speak to him.

1261
00:54:30,480 --> 00:54:32,279
Speaker 4: I really encourage everyone. You can make up your mind

1262
00:54:32,320 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 4: after that. But he thoroughly details the case and the

1263
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,279
Speaker 4: points of evidence that matter, both for the prosecution and

1264
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 4: the defense. You're asking, given the result, what's going to

1265
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 4: happen well today? The hit Man video game. Yes, they

1266
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:48,240
Speaker 4: distanced themselves. There have been calls in Ireland to boycott

1267
00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 4: any whiskey or liquor.

1268
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: Or the Rape Crisis Network Ireland. The RCNI is calling

1269
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 1: for a boycott of all McGregor brands across Ireland.

1270
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 4: So something I talked to a bunch of Irish EMMA

1271
00:54:58,040 --> 00:54:59,759
Speaker 4: journalists over the weekend, many of which, by the way,

1272
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 4: are told me they were afraid to speak up. Can

1273
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 4: you believe that?

1274
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: Well? I can believe it. When it was revealed after

1275
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 1: the result in this trial that the Nikita Han's house

1276
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: had been invaded by attackers and her significant other got stabbed.

1277
00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: And although there's no direct link to McGregor in that,

1278
00:55:17,280 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 1: and the court didn't want to entertain a potential direct

1279
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 1: link because it wasn't about that for this trial, I guess.

1280
00:55:22,040 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 4: They could not substantiate that McGregor was responsible.

1281
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: That's and there was somebody there was another.

1282
00:55:26,520 --> 00:55:29,120
Speaker 4: McGregor accused of a woman who had accused him of

1283
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 4: sexual assault, had her car fire bombed. That's correct.

1284
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 1: Okay, So I can understand that during the journalist some

1285
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:34,760
Speaker 1: journalists talking.

1286
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 4: That par part of what she was seeking Nikita Hand

1287
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 4: was damages for seven hundred and fifty euro That was

1288
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 4: for relocation because they had to leave their place of

1289
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:44,439
Speaker 4: residence and find a new one because they no longer

1290
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,839
Speaker 4: felt safe in that residence. Okay, but you're asking again

1291
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:50,640
Speaker 4: fall out, Well, we've already seen some of it in Ireland.

1292
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 4: My understanding is BC, and you've kind of felt this

1293
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 4: a little bit when you went and called the Calum

1294
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 4: Walsh fight. Yes, you kind of got the sense and

1295
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,319
Speaker 4: talking to Irish folks that like, he was not at

1296
00:55:59,320 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 4: a bare minimum polarizing to the Irish before this, well,

1297
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 4: they were.

1298
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:05,360
Speaker 1: Past him in ways that a lot of us in

1299
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:06,839
Speaker 1: the US still hadn't really been.

1300
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,000
Speaker 4: My understanding is the result of this is that in general,

1301
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 4: the Irish public has found Nikita Hand to be a

1302
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,439
Speaker 4: sympathetic character, that they in general agree with her case,

1303
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 4: and that Connor's reputation in Ireland is in tatters. But

1304
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 4: there's a couple of factors out there that you really

1305
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 4: have to think about. One, the combat sports space, boxing

1306
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 4: or MMA will launder anybody's image. It really doesn't matter

1307
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 4: what you've done unless you've done BC and I'm not

1308
00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:38,960
Speaker 4: even trying to be flipping about it, unless you've done

1309
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 4: like Jerry Sandusky crimes for year after year after year,

1310
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 4: where like it's so radioactive that nobody can even be

1311
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:52,880
Speaker 4: around you. The Combat Sports space will try to rehabilitate

1312
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 4: the most forgiving They are the most forgiving world in

1313
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 4: the space, in the world. The second part is you

1314
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 4: have to ask yourself what does this result due for

1315
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 4: him wanting to get back into the cage. I personally

1316
00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 4: feel like his career as a meaningful contributor to MMA

1317
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 4: or somebody who can do really well is over.

1318
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 1: It's completely and it's not just three years of inactivity

1319
00:57:13,719 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: mixed with rampant substance abuse. That's not even the core

1320
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: of it anymore.

1321
00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:22,520
Speaker 4: Right right, However, ask yourself this PC if he declares

1322
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 4: a comeback and actually follows through, now depends on this

1323
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,479
Speaker 4: on the matchmaking to some degree about how this goes

1324
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,440
Speaker 4: the fastest way to get rehabilitated in MMA is to

1325
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 4: take a fight, no doubt, it is to do a

1326
00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:36,760
Speaker 4: media cycle, where by the way, he was on Twitter

1327
00:57:36,920 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 4: and other places declaring his displeasure with the jury's decision

1328
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 4: and was not shy about it and tended to appeal.

1329
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 4: He said, We'll see how that goes. I'm just pointing

1330
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:52,320
Speaker 4: out I wonder if this result makes it more likely

1331
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:54,720
Speaker 4: he tries to return as a way to launder his

1332
00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 4: image because of how bad it is.

1333
00:57:56,880 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: I felt that as we were waiting for the verdict.

1334
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 1: I think we've even mentioned on the last show that

1335
00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if this gets him back sooner, for a

1336
00:58:03,000 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: lot of reasons, mostly because like, if your life is

1337
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: out of control and you have a you know, come

1338
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:10,439
Speaker 1: to earth moment, so to speak, a lot of times

1339
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,120
Speaker 1: you want to run back toward discipline and all the

1340
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: things that were pulling you away. But the laundering of

1341
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 1: his own reputation theory would make a lot of sense

1342
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: because that happened in the Cowboy fight, Which wasn't that

1343
00:58:21,440 --> 00:58:25,280
Speaker 1: in the immediate aftermath of the accusations of this exact incident. No,

1344
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 1: this was following the Hobby fight, right when it happened, yes,

1345
00:58:30,360 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 1: But when he tried to rehit, when he successfully rehabbed

1346
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,560
Speaker 1: his image in the building to Cowboys Seronia early twenty twenty,

1347
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 1: it was almost as I'm sorry as a direct result

1348
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: because of those accusations. I mean, you can just.

1349
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:44,200
Speaker 4: Watch playing the Elder Statesman role and just watch.

1350
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,880
Speaker 1: The Netflix documentary which really tries to paint him as

1351
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,880
Speaker 1: this ultimate family man, and that build was all about

1352
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: just coming back and coming back away from the problems

1353
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: he had caused and just trying to be a great

1354
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: person again, and they really laundered heavily that belief in

1355
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: that image. I would have said, yes, this brings him

1356
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: back quicker and we'll see what can happen. But this

1357
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,520
Speaker 1: is rape, whether or not the word guilty because it

1358
00:59:06,600 --> 00:59:09,080
Speaker 1: was a civil trial belongs in the same sentence or not,

1359
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 1: the public belief is guilty. The public belief may have

1360
00:59:13,160 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: already been that, but now you actually have the verdict here.

1361
00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: So my question to you, Luke is how much will

1362
00:59:19,760 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 1: people care? Meaning it's still Connor McGregor under any circumstance,

1363
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 1: Just like when Mike Tyson came out of jail, he

1364
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 1: was a bigger star than before under any circumstance, people

1365
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:31,000
Speaker 1: were gonna want to see what he looks like, see

1366
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,280
Speaker 1: what he's up to all of that. But will this

1367
00:59:33,560 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 1: like actively turn a large group of people away from that?

1368
00:59:37,080 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 1: Will the people still care anymore?

1369
00:59:38,920 --> 00:59:40,280
Speaker 4: Isn't my question about McGregor?

1370
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, because of how serious this is. Meaning if he

1371
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: tried to come back and went into a training camp

1372
00:59:45,160 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: like three months from now, can you come back quickly

1373
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 1: from this, Luke or or does there need to be

1374
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 1: a period to let your brand air out? Would he

1375
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: I mean, would he get booed by everybody in the

1376
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: arena or no?

1377
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 4: No, to the extent he'll find a sympathetic audience, it

1378
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:06,120
Speaker 4: will be one inside MMA for a couple of reasons.

1379
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:09,200
Speaker 4: As I mentioned, people in combat sports just don't really

1380
01:00:09,320 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 4: care about ethical conduct very much. I don't think that's

1381
01:00:12,440 --> 01:00:14,840
Speaker 4: really an unfair statement at all. They like to pretend

1382
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 4: that they do, Like there's a lot of lip service

1383
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 4: that's mentioned about doing things the right way, but in general,

1384
01:00:19,640 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 4: audiences and stakeholders don't seem to care that much about that. Also,

1385
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 4: the vast majority of MMA fans are young men. Statistically speaking,

1386
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 4: if you look at things like the National Crime Victimization survey.

1387
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 4: They show that arguably as many as two that have

1388
01:00:34,840 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 4: three rapes go unreported, and the group least likely to

1389
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,440
Speaker 4: believe women when they say that they have been a

1390
01:00:40,520 --> 01:00:43,120
Speaker 4: victim of sexual assault is in fact sharing in particular

1391
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 4: young men. So you're just talking about an audience that's

1392
01:00:45,880 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 4: going to be primed to be as a bare minimum less,

1393
01:00:51,360 --> 01:00:53,240
Speaker 4: they're just they're gonna give a fuck less. I mean

1394
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 4: on a house to say it.

1395
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,360
Speaker 1: But those are the hardcore fans though. To be fair anyway,

1396
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,840
Speaker 1: Gregor fans drawn those other fans from over the fence.

1397
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:01,720
Speaker 4: Again, But you have to ask, like, what role will

1398
01:01:01,800 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 4: this rape not again civilly liable judgment? To what extent

1399
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 4: will that affect the American audience? His reputation is disastrous

1400
01:01:12,760 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 4: in Ireland as I understand it. I don't know how

1401
01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 4: they're going to view him in the UK. I would

1402
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:19,400
Speaker 4: imagine it's something similar ish, but in the United States,

1403
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,440
Speaker 4: I'm not sure how much this trial broke through, And

1404
01:01:21,520 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 4: again I'm not sure how much them make community cares.

1405
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 4: The thing I'm kind of interested is how Dana White's

1406
01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 4: going to respond to.

1407
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: This, because they don't respond to anything I know, But

1408
01:01:29,960 --> 01:01:30,720
Speaker 1: they're going to be asked.

1409
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,640
Speaker 4: I would imagine at some point, hey, what did you

1410
01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:35,520
Speaker 4: think about Connor being held civilly liable? And I guess

1411
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,280
Speaker 4: he'll probably say something like the justice system is going

1412
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 4: to do what it's going to do and he has

1413
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,320
Speaker 4: to work that out, and we'd have no response to it.

1414
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,760
Speaker 1: I say, I told you, guys, he's got so much

1415
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 1: money in.

1416
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,840
Speaker 4: With that itself will serve to soften attitudes about it.

1417
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 4: So I think that some level of controversy because of

1418
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 4: this will follow him.

1419
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 1: Well, they still have a trial coming up. Correct me

1420
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:58,680
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong to determine who pays for.

1421
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,880
Speaker 4: The legal that's right some people to underst I didn't

1422
01:02:00,920 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 4: know this. They have a court case they have to

1423
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 4: go back on Thursday, because the way it works in

1424
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:07,360
Speaker 4: civil court is the person who pays is typically the

1425
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:11,960
Speaker 4: loser for all the lawyer costs. You'll recall that another

1426
01:02:12,040 --> 01:02:14,919
Speaker 4: gentleman who was involved in this was ultimately I don't know. Again,

1427
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 4: I don't know if the legal word is exonerated Jess

1428
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 4: Lawrence but was not found liable. Connor was for certain

1429
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 4: parts of it. So they're going to figure out who

1430
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,919
Speaker 4: has to pay the lawyer cost because he did lose,

1431
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 4: but she didn't win everything. So that will be happening

1432
01:02:28,720 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 4: on Thursday. That's different than the appeal. This is still

1433
01:02:31,320 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 4: just related to this particular dimension of it.

1434
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 1: What do you think about the people that say Connor

1435
01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 1: should be wary even though there is some inconsistencies in

1436
01:02:37,760 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 1: this whole way this was handled in court or a

1437
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,680
Speaker 1: gray area. At least you know that it wasn't perfect,

1438
01:02:42,760 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't a perfect defense, or in that regard, what

1439
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:50,200
Speaker 1: do you think about people ultimately who think that Connor

1440
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 1: could end up trapping himself and bringing more eyes on

1441
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: his behavior by taking an appeal trial and really digging

1442
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,840
Speaker 1: this back up and really fine tooth combing aggressively going.

1443
01:02:59,680 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 4: After I don't know, I don't know what evidence he

1444
01:03:03,480 --> 01:03:07,720
Speaker 4: is referring to. That would be exonerating your recall that

1445
01:03:07,840 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 4: to your point, the judge did not allow the jury

1446
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,720
Speaker 4: to know about the guys in Balaklava's who were identified

1447
01:03:13,720 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 4: as McGregor supporters. It just wasn't clear that in any

1448
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,240
Speaker 4: way McGregor was related to the incident. But nevertheless, it

1449
01:03:18,320 --> 01:03:20,560
Speaker 4: was an active intimidation whoever, whoever decided to do it.

1450
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 4: It was an active intimidation, but.

1451
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: The more time they didn't know about it, they will

1452
01:03:23,960 --> 01:03:25,280
Speaker 1: know about it in the appeal case, you know what

1453
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean? But just in three like, the more time

1454
01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 1: you're in court, the more you're exposing eyes to the story,

1455
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,720
Speaker 1: which is a greater chance it could become a criminal trial.

1456
01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:34,200
Speaker 4: And then my understanding is the lawyer who Connor McGregor

1457
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 4: hired as a famous criminal defense attorney in Ireland, who

1458
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,680
Speaker 4: understands this whole system quite well and probably best practices.

1459
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 4: But dude, Connor is erratic. He makes bad decisions. He

1460
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 4: ended up in this particular moment because he makes questionable

1461
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,680
Speaker 4: decisions and probably in my judgment up cards on the table,

1462
01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:56,680
Speaker 4: I find the jury's decision. Just ask yourself this the jury,

1463
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 4: were they right based on a preponderance of the evidence?

1464
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 4: Is it more like than not that he did those things?

1465
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 4: I agree with their assessment that he more likely than

1466
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,440
Speaker 4: not he absolutely did those things. So you know, he

1467
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 4: has judgment issues at a bare minimum. And that's the

1468
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 4: nicest way I can say.

1469
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Maybe D does too. And I'm speaking out of school here,

1470
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: but maybe D Devilin does too.

1471
01:04:14,840 --> 01:04:16,080
Speaker 4: I mean, what the he I don't want to speak

1472
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 4: about their marriage or their relationship. I don't I don't know,

1473
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 4: I don't know what they have going on. All I

1474
01:04:21,680 --> 01:04:24,920
Speaker 4: can say is I really encourage everybody, especially young guys,

1475
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 4: to actually listen to what the facts of the case are.

1476
01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 4: You will, of course come to your own conclusion. I

1477
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:31,880
Speaker 4: can't control that, but don't do it until you understand

1478
01:04:31,920 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 4: what all the evidence is one way or the other.

1479
01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: Well, here's what McGregor is going to face on the

1480
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:38,960
Speaker 1: regular Here's him exiting the courtroom and the paparazzi we're aggressive,

1481
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,720
Speaker 1: mister McGregor, you are a rapist?

1482
01:04:42,080 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 4: What do you think?

1483
01:04:44,160 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't know if you saw the full clip

1484
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: of that, like he gets bombarded into.

1485
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 4: The car, if they were on his ass like a

1486
01:04:50,360 --> 01:04:50,960
Speaker 4: white on right.

1487
01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: Well, he also went on a tear on Twitter and

1488
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: delete a lot of the tweets. Here's a little sampling

1489
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 1: where it's basically not you know, him doubling down on

1490
01:04:59,040 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 1: his innocence, youing to take shots at Nikita hand clearing

1491
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,320
Speaker 1: that friend of his. And I think you know if

1492
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: you read in totality hit stuff, he really believes that

1493
01:05:09,200 --> 01:05:11,120
Speaker 1: the truth will come through and he'll be cleared of

1494
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:11,760
Speaker 1: this eventually.

1495
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:13,640
Speaker 4: I don't think that's right. I don't think it will.

1496
01:05:15,320 --> 01:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Did you see that same Twitter account which updates us

1497
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: when the UFC roster has been updated.

1498
01:05:20,120 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, he went full insult.

1499
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:25,240
Speaker 1: Huh, yeah he did. They updated Connor as innocent. That's interesting.

1500
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,280
Speaker 1: Let's give the Let's give Nikita Hanna a chance to speak.

1501
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: This was her afterwards with the thing, which I think

1502
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:31,440
Speaker 1: is important to add to the story.

1503
01:05:31,600 --> 01:05:34,840
Speaker 9: Got friends of courage over the last six years, throughout

1504
01:05:34,920 --> 01:05:36,240
Speaker 9: this nightmare to keep on.

1505
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 4: I want to show Freyan every a ploy take you

1506
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 4: stand before yourself.

1507
01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 6: Someone have to see you.

1508
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 9: How much to you The pearson is Anseph Melby, sir

1510
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: I hope my stories of her mind.

1511
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:54,520
Speaker 6: I don't know what to have a friend.

1512
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,560
Speaker 3: You might be speaking, you have a voice.

1513
01:05:56,960 --> 01:05:59,960
Speaker 9: I keep on quite juice. I I'll just has an

1514
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 9: have my life, my daughters, my family A French tremendously

1515
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,000
Speaker 9: I'll never forget for the rest of my life.

1516
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,720
Speaker 1: But now just tup me and says I can now

1517
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: try new one.

1518
01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 4: I'm apt to the future that my family and friends door.

1519
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: What was it like or you believe that would be

1520
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:23,440
Speaker 1: about the call the trail I'm h every stuff there.

1521
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, she took a big chance. She wasn't have

1522
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:26,960
Speaker 1: to pay all the legal fees if she lost you.

1523
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 4: And by the way, you're asking, what would those costs

1524
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:31,400
Speaker 4: be if she had lost in excess of a million

1525
01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:34,080
Speaker 4: US dollars, which she wouldn't have had. I just want

1526
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:36,800
Speaker 4: to I want to be clear about something like again,

1527
01:06:36,800 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 4: I encourage everyone to hear what McGregor's defense was to

1528
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 4: some of the inconsistencies that related to Nikita Hann's story,

1529
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 4: because there is a recording that her boyfriend made that night,

1530
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:48,960
Speaker 4: and some of the stories don't match other accounts, and

1531
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 4: those things need to be understood.

1532
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,280
Speaker 1: And just so, cheating on her significant other at the time.

1533
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,960
Speaker 4: With infidelity is in either direction here, utterly irrelevant.

1534
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 1: From a lost standpoint. I'm saying that's adding to the

1535
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:01,720
Speaker 1: that's the only one I care. No, No, I'm saying

1536
01:07:01,720 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 1: that's adding to the fuel of people that are looking

1537
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:05,600
Speaker 1: at some of the inconsistencies and saying, look, she's just

1538
01:07:05,680 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: a party or that. Oh I'm not excused, they're both.

1539
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm not protecting or siding with him. I'm saying I

1540
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 1: think that played into a lot of people.

1541
01:07:13,760 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, but it's to me, it's I material, So like,

1542
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,600
Speaker 4: I want to just I want to mention this before

1543
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:18,280
Speaker 4: we move on, because I actually think it's pretty important.

1544
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 4: I was not in that courtroom, so like, can I

1545
01:07:22,360 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 4: say connor did it? I have no clue. I don't know.

1546
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 4: I answered the question a minute ago about like, do

1547
01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:31,560
Speaker 4: I agree with the jury more likely than not granting

1548
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 4: that this sexual assault took place.

1549
01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 6: I do.

1550
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,600
Speaker 4: And the reason why is very obviously a few data

1551
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 4: points very quickly, if I may. One is that in

1552
01:07:39,640 --> 01:07:43,440
Speaker 4: talking to Frank Grainy, they saw all the photos of

1553
01:07:43,520 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 4: the bruising after she went to the rape trauma center

1554
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 4: in a hospital in Dublin, and he described the photos

1555
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:55,280
Speaker 4: as quote horrific, black and blue head to toe. And

1556
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 4: in fact, the intake nurse who evaluated her, who testified

1557
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 4: on the stand and had said in all of her

1558
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,640
Speaker 4: years in rape crisis work, had never seen somebody as

1559
01:08:06,760 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 4: bruised and banged up viciously as she was. She had

1560
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 4: literally never seen the extent of bruising in damage that

1561
01:08:13,960 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 4: Nikita hand came with. You then marry that with the

1562
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,680
Speaker 4: reality that the doctor who also testified about this had

1563
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:23,280
Speaker 4: to remove a tampon from inside of her. I'm gonna

1564
01:08:23,280 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 4: put that as lightly as I possibly can with four steps.

1565
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 4: Somebody roughed her up. Yes, And when you look at

1566
01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 4: the MacGregor defense account, their answer is, well, she went

1567
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 4: on a multi day bender. It must have just been

1568
01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,600
Speaker 4: from that, which, of course Okham's razor tells you was

1569
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:40,560
Speaker 4: a very very poor explanation for how someone gets to

1570
01:08:40,760 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 4: that level. Somebody really messed her up, Like you have

1571
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:47,880
Speaker 4: to have a theory for how that happened. The likeliest Again,

1572
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 4: the preponderance of the evidence tells you that it was

1573
01:08:49,439 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 4: probably that interaction she had with McGregor.

1574
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:53,639
Speaker 1: That's why I yeah, I could see that swaying the jury.

1575
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:56,560
Speaker 1: Let me say one more in comparison to the inconsistencies,

1576
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 1: I can certainly say.

1577
01:08:57,280 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 4: That every single level, whether it was the doctor who

1578
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,760
Speaker 4: evaluated her, the nurse at the rate crisis intake center,

1579
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 4: whether it was a psychiatrist or psychologist, all of us

1580
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,600
Speaker 4: whom testified on the stand, at every single interval of

1581
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:11,800
Speaker 4: a medical screening by a professional, all of them concluded

1582
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:15,800
Speaker 4: that her either injuries mental or physical, were all in

1583
01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 4: alignment with what happens to sexual assault survivors. All of them,

1584
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:21,439
Speaker 4: all of them. You never had one person on the

1585
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,360
Speaker 4: forensic side say anything other than Tikida's hand account is

1586
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 4: in all likelihood the correct one. Last, I would add

1587
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,240
Speaker 4: the one you mentioned. If she had lost that trial,

1588
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 4: she would have been on the hook for six excuse

1589
01:09:33,439 --> 01:09:35,360
Speaker 4: what I'm saying, on the hook for up to a

1590
01:09:35,479 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 4: million US dollars to go through that for six years

1591
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 4: when it could financially ruin you in the end. Again,

1592
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,519
Speaker 4: we weren't there that night in December and twenty nineteen.

1593
01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: Do I know what happened?

1594
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 4: I don't know what happened, but a preponderance of the

1595
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 4: evidence quite obviously tells me it is more likely than not.

1596
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,120
Speaker 1: That he did that shit right, And Connor is leaning on,

1597
01:09:55,680 --> 01:09:58,040
Speaker 1: you know, some of the inconsistencies with the timing or

1598
01:09:58,240 --> 01:10:00,559
Speaker 1: the text messages to her significant other, which she lied

1599
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,960
Speaker 1: about being there, but she was already sort of there

1600
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 1: lying to begin with. So it's it's you know, I understand.

1601
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:09,679
Speaker 4: Besides, who did that to her? Where did the bruises

1602
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:11,720
Speaker 4: come from? But they came from partying? No, they did not.

1603
01:10:11,840 --> 01:10:12,719
Speaker 4: That is obviously silly.

1604
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: Well, the general reaction from fighters has been that Habib

1605
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,599
Speaker 1: was right, Luke, that's what everyone keeps saying, here's Islam

1606
01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,640
Speaker 1: Majev from Team Habib saying it was a matter of

1607
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: time till this filthy bastard be exposed, alcoholic, drug junkie

1608
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 1: and rapist.

1609
01:10:26,960 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 4: Many matter of Facts's that we have to ask the

1610
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:30,160
Speaker 4: question that we always have to ask.

1611
01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Did Islam write this or Ali just got caught right

1612
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 1: speaking for Umar.

1613
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 4: By the way, Ali admits to doing this, not like

1614
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if.

1615
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: He did, it's worth pointing out there was that him.

1616
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 1: Well let's go back to the original Habib tweet from

1617
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen.

1618
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 4: Wow.

1619
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:51,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, so this was when the when the accusations first

1620
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:54,080
Speaker 1: came out back in twenty nineteen of this exact incident,

1621
01:10:54,400 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: and this was Habibi.

1622
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:57,360
Speaker 4: If I'm wrong, I could be wrong about this, So

1623
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 4: I for forgive me if I ambc this might predate that.

1624
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:03,320
Speaker 4: I think this might be.

1625
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:04,680
Speaker 1: You think it was from the build to their fight

1626
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: in twenty eighteen.

1627
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 4: Well, now, Luke, can you look this up. I thought

1628
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,880
Speaker 4: that this came from because remember the incident in question

1629
01:11:10,080 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 4: was in December. Sure, this tweet is from twenty nineteen.

1630
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:14,880
Speaker 4: I thought it came from April, which was a different

1631
01:11:14,960 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 4: situation than he had already been dealing with.

1632
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's tied to a lot of you.

1633
01:11:18,439 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 4: Know so, but I don't know.

1634
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 1: I could be wrong about that. Please forgive me if

1635
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 1: I get that wrong. Yeah, so interesting. I guess the

1636
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 1: final question regarding his future, like, do you think because

1637
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,520
Speaker 1: Dana White and UFC have a history of not penalizing

1638
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:36,600
Speaker 1: people for their outside the cage behavior, like Connor benefited

1639
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: from that rule, if you will, by getting the Habib

1640
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:43,120
Speaker 1: fight despite getting arrested back in twenty nine or was that?

1641
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:43,760
Speaker 4: What year was it?

1642
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:45,759
Speaker 1: That tweet was April twenty nineteen?

1643
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:49,120
Speaker 4: Told you that predated him even doing this.

1644
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 1: No, he did it at the end of twenty eighteen,

1645
01:11:50,920 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: after the fight.

1646
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 4: You're right, so sorry, Yes, twenty nineteen was when it

1647
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:56,519
Speaker 4: came to a head. That's right, you're right, no problem.

1648
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: Right, How willing will the UFC be to get him

1649
01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: back in there, because they're not going to like damn

1650
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: him publicly or suspend him or find him. They'll probably

1651
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 1: just say, like you said, the justice will you know,

1652
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 1: he'll pay his fine whatever, And they won't. You know,

1653
01:12:11,439 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: they don't make it about that, They make it about

1654
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: what happens inside the cage.

1655
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,400
Speaker 4: So I think they booked. Remember when Dana told us

1656
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 4: last week, Hey, he'll come back late twenty twenty five.

1657
01:12:19,479 --> 01:12:21,080
Speaker 1: They just sort of booked a faraway date and said

1658
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 1: get in shape for that, Like.

1659
01:12:22,160 --> 01:12:24,240
Speaker 4: Let's and also like we're gonna let the dust settle

1660
01:12:24,320 --> 01:12:26,960
Speaker 4: on this, right because they knew they probably do something bad.

1661
01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 4: At a bare minimum, they have to know something bad

1662
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 4: could at least happen, Okay, right, Like this.

1663
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:34,599
Speaker 1: Won't affect Connor's BKFC job in your eyes, right, I don't.

1664
01:12:34,680 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 4: Again, if you're a BKFC fan, if you're a bare

1665
01:12:37,439 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 4: knuckle fighting how much do you really how much do

1666
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:43,160
Speaker 4: the ethical behavior if people around you matter to you?

1667
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:46,120
Speaker 4: I'm going to guess it's going to be, relatively speaking,

1668
01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:46,799
Speaker 4: somewhat limited.

1669
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,080
Speaker 1: All right, Well, we have a transition here with business

1670
01:12:49,120 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 1: ethics to topic number four. If you're you're completely doing

1671
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,320
Speaker 1: and it's what's going on over there at PF Elatur,

1672
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,320
Speaker 1: particularly the Belatur side, and the frustration of many big

1673
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 1: name fighters, some of the best in Belatore history, about

1674
01:13:02,640 --> 01:13:06,800
Speaker 1: their inactivity and even further they're in the lack of communication.

1675
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:11,879
Speaker 1: So Beltor fighters speaking out in unison against PFLs handling

1676
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,000
Speaker 1: of this calendar year when many were promised up to

1677
01:13:14,080 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: three fights and only fought once. We heard how how

1678
01:13:17,560 --> 01:13:20,840
Speaker 1: Chris Cyborg was now outspoken against the PFL for a

1679
01:13:20,880 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 1: full year, trying to get active and finally getting a fight.

1680
01:13:23,600 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 1: So Luke, let's start this. What incentive do you think,

1681
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:30,680
Speaker 1: if anything, these current Belator fighters have in trying to

1682
01:13:30,800 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 1: stay with the PFL and not trying to get out

1683
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,559
Speaker 1: under any circumstances possible, because they're already even though they're

1684
01:13:36,560 --> 01:13:39,000
Speaker 1: some of the best names on the combined PFLAT or roster,

1685
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 1: they're being out there, held out in side Berry on

1686
01:13:41,720 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 1: these Belatore international cards, and even worse than that, they're

1687
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,400
Speaker 1: not even being allowed to stay active and they're not

1688
01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 1: getting any updates. There's no dates on the calendar, Like

1689
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:53,880
Speaker 1: as quick as they can just go, what reasons should

1690
01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:56,120
Speaker 1: they should? They have to not do that at this point.

1691
01:13:56,160 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 4: That the contracts have probably trapped them and they can't

1692
01:14:00,240 --> 01:14:03,839
Speaker 4: that people think that because UFC has bad contracts, PFL

1693
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 4: has good ones. Francis probably has a good contract. I

1694
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:07,680
Speaker 4: believe that Francis don't.

1695
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: Can we just pull an RDR and just go fight

1696
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:11,960
Speaker 1: in another promotion anyway, and then if you're the US.

1697
01:14:11,840 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 4: Based you can't. No, you'll be in deep trouble for

1698
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:14,719
Speaker 4: you could lose your license to compete.

1699
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:15,160
Speaker 1: Get it.

1700
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:18,479
Speaker 4: You know, you know the story. But PFL has very

1701
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:21,320
Speaker 4: restrictive contracts. One has very restrictive contracts. You cannot just

1702
01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:24,640
Speaker 4: get out of your contract. So simply h this is

1703
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 4: a big problem for them. Do we have some of

1704
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 4: the somebody's up on the screen so the audience can

1705
01:14:29,320 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 4: have some context if they didn't get it before. This

1706
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 4: is from Patricio, which is a pimple who, by the way,

1707
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,519
Speaker 4: is reacting to Leandro Ego, also explaining frustration. Quote, I

1708
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 4: haven't fought since February. Pit Bull says. I wanted to

1709
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 4: fight three times this year, but I was told I'd

1710
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,040
Speaker 4: have to wait until December thirty first, and found out

1711
01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 4: online my opponent would fight someone else. Then they had

1712
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,120
Speaker 4: a replacement. I bring people over, spend more money with

1713
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 4: the camp, and there's no fight. He went on for

1714
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,800
Speaker 4: other details. It was Ego, it was PATCHI mix. I've

1715
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,200
Speaker 4: been quote I've been training my ass off for the

1716
01:14:54,280 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 4: last half of year for nothing. This is frustrating in

1717
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 4: the prime of my career, and I've had my fight

1718
01:14:58,560 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 4: in November canceled. Then now again I'm being told I'm

1719
01:15:01,120 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 4: off January's du buy card. I'm the best in the world,

1720
01:15:03,680 --> 01:15:06,160
Speaker 4: and I want to fight to prove it. And again

1721
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 4: Corey overtime Anderson.

1722
01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:10,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a rough picture that he's posted, but he

1723
01:15:10,479 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 1: was posting it to show his dismay. He would go

1724
01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:14,720
Speaker 1: on to update that tweet. By the way, he had

1725
01:15:14,760 --> 01:15:17,639
Speaker 1: the same thing about just you know the a PFL

1726
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 1: give me a call, like, let's like have communication. So

1727
01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 1: all the fighters and more have spoken out since then,

1728
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:24,120
Speaker 1: but they all seem to have that same argument. It's

1729
01:15:24,160 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: not just the lack of dates, it's there's no one

1730
01:15:26,080 --> 01:15:28,840
Speaker 1: even talk to or give me answers when some of them,

1731
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: like Corey came to this side of the fence to

1732
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,880
Speaker 1: get a better situation and to make more money and

1733
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 1: to be treated better, but that's gone now the Saint

1734
01:15:37,120 --> 01:15:38,240
Speaker 1: Scott cokerland anymore so.

1735
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 4: So two basic problems that I think are to blame here.

1736
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,880
Speaker 4: There's more to the stories, certainly there's more than just

1737
01:15:44,040 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 4: two problems, but I would like to highlight two of them.

1738
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 4: Number One, this confused branding that they're doing where they're

1739
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 4: splintering PFL Mina, PFL Europe, PFL Superfight Series, PFL tournament system,

1740
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,080
Speaker 4: PFL whatever the fun for each one, dude, and they're

1741
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:03,479
Speaker 4: fake belt. And then there's there's the Bellotour series, which

1742
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:05,840
Speaker 4: is on top of that. You have all of these

1743
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 4: different brands that you're trying to make money off of, right,

1744
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:10,880
Speaker 4: it's why they're splintering it. But the problem is actually

1745
01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 4: a little bit more sinister. While you might be able

1746
01:16:13,200 --> 01:16:16,599
Speaker 4: to monetize more by splitting it more, none of your

1747
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 4: brands have coherent identities to begin with, and you're actually

1748
01:16:20,560 --> 01:16:23,880
Speaker 4: having to create things because your tournament model doesn't really work.

1749
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 4: So you're having to all, we'll have a superfight series

1750
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 4: because that's actually how we can get the most amount

1751
01:16:28,120 --> 01:16:30,080
Speaker 4: of dollars with the biggest stars that don't work in

1752
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:32,800
Speaker 4: the tournament system. So you actually have to split your

1753
01:16:32,840 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 4: brand in ways to make more money. But all it

1754
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,799
Speaker 4: actually does is undercut what the branding.

1755
01:16:38,960 --> 01:16:40,880
Speaker 1: They have a final on Friday. We didn't even know

1756
01:16:40,920 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 1: about it. You and I and we're in this space,

1757
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:44,680
Speaker 1: and even though there are a couple of matchups you

1758
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,640
Speaker 1: would want, it's not representative of who they actually have

1759
01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:49,679
Speaker 1: as a roster. When don Davis makes all those public

1760
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: claims that we have x amount of percentage of the

1761
01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: top thirty fighters in the world in each division. He

1762
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 1: loves to throw that stuff out, and I don't hate

1763
01:16:55,640 --> 01:16:58,679
Speaker 1: it because on paper they do have assets. But they're

1764
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,839
Speaker 1: taking these beltore assets, leaving them out in the bullpen,

1765
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:03,160
Speaker 1: or throwing them to the side of the road, or

1766
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:06,000
Speaker 1: putting them on some random international card. These are actually

1767
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 1: some of your best and most marketable fighters. Why would

1768
01:17:08,479 --> 01:17:10,719
Speaker 1: Patricio Pitbull have to struggle to find dates?

1769
01:17:10,760 --> 01:17:11,599
Speaker 4: These are white champions.

1770
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: Why don't you put this like obviously, the thing to

1771
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 1: do is stop what they're doing, combine all of their

1772
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: essence in one stop building horizontally, and let's go vertically.

1773
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:22,360
Speaker 1: Let's give your best chance to compete. Because you don

1774
01:17:22,479 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 1: Davis said that we're here to compete for number one

1775
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,360
Speaker 1: of the UFC. I didn't say that. You said it.

1776
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 1: This ain't working, Okay, These are actually some of your

1777
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:31,040
Speaker 1: best assets. And what else would they want to do

1778
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:33,479
Speaker 1: outside of let me go out of this contract as

1779
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:34,360
Speaker 1: soon as I possibly can.

1780
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,640
Speaker 4: Yes, And dude, the second problem here is we go

1781
01:17:36,720 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 4: back to it. It manifests itself in a number of

1782
01:17:38,880 --> 01:17:41,799
Speaker 4: different ways. But when the leadership of your fight promotion

1783
01:17:42,040 --> 01:17:44,640
Speaker 4: aren't really fight fans, and they don't really watch the

1784
01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 4: sport absence of their own product, and even then I

1785
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,080
Speaker 4: don't know how much they're really watching that. You are

1786
01:17:50,200 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 4: not going to have a coherent identity as a brand.

1787
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 4: You're not going to really fill the appropriate space in

1788
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 4: the fight game because you're just a financial instrument to

1789
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,799
Speaker 4: be sold to an atwork or potential investors. Your product

1790
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:07,400
Speaker 4: will be arranged to match their interests, not necessarily the

1791
01:18:07,479 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 4: fans or more more generally, what the market itself actually needs.

1792
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:15,200
Speaker 4: You're just splintering it, as I mentioned before, to get

1793
01:18:15,280 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 4: more money, but it ends up just hurting the identity

1794
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 4: of the brand and everything else. These are the two

1795
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 4: big problems that this organization has, and unless they're willing

1796
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 4: to meaningfully alter who they are, this will only get worse.

1797
01:18:29,439 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I imagine if Friday's Championship, in which what

1798
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 1: six different championships and one million dollar prizes are given out,

1799
01:18:35,760 --> 01:18:38,599
Speaker 1: It's not nothing, it's something. Imagine how much more we'd

1800
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: watched if Pit bull PATCHI mixed Aaron Pico, aj McKee

1801
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:43,640
Speaker 1: like all these other names were in there. You know

1802
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 1: what I mean like Usman der Maga metof like that

1803
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 1: would help you a lot. So drop that tournament. It's

1804
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: regular season bullshit. Put out one title per division, not

1805
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:54,560
Speaker 1: what we're doing now with supercard titles or whatever the

1806
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,920
Speaker 1: hell that means, and put your best out there and

1807
01:18:57,000 --> 01:18:59,040
Speaker 1: let them show you if they can compete. Like well, Also,

1808
01:18:59,080 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 1: how about this.

1809
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 4: Here's a simple idea, and it would confuse the brand

1810
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 4: because that's what they love doing, but it would make

1811
01:19:05,160 --> 01:19:07,439
Speaker 4: sense if you're going to keep the stupid ass tournament

1812
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 4: model up and the way that they do it. Again,

1813
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,120
Speaker 4: you can do individual tournaments, but just doing all tournaments

1814
01:19:11,160 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 4: all the time. Put Pachi Mix versus meccamed Mega made

1815
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 4: Off at the top of one of these cards. Put

1816
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,080
Speaker 4: Leandro Ego versus Aaron Pico at the top of one

1817
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,760
Speaker 4: of these cards. In other words, have your tournament, but

1818
01:19:22,920 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 4: then put a crown jewel at the top of it.

1819
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 4: Keep those guys busy. Give me or I don't want

1820
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 4: to tune into your tournament, give me a reason to

1821
01:19:29,320 --> 01:19:31,879
Speaker 4: tune in. Oh, you've got Aaron Pico on a Thursday

1822
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 4: night and fucking Atlanta or whoever. But he's fighting like

1823
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,880
Speaker 4: a good guy. I'm all in favor of that, but

1824
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 4: instead they just keep them on ice because why they

1825
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 4: want to splinter the brand and now PATCHI Mix can

1826
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 4: only fight on Bellator CARDSS that don't matter. Again, it's

1827
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,680
Speaker 4: the splintering of the brands, which they think is going

1828
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 4: to give them more money, and all it does is

1829
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 4: pull the bottom out on the concept and identity of

1830
01:19:56,439 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 4: what they're supposed to be about.

1831
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 1: Well, when Don Davis goes home, though, look he doesn't

1832
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,719
Speaker 1: talk about them. Mayor watch it and maybe that's the problem,

1833
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,439
Speaker 1: right Don, here's a tweet from Coapos I'll read to you.

1834
01:20:04,560 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: He nailed it, he said. Pfl's Bellator plans this year

1835
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:11,320
Speaker 1: were a complete failure. They promised eight events in twenty

1836
01:20:11,360 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: four and only pulled off five. They touted two title

1837
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,679
Speaker 1: fights per Bellator card and that didn't happen on four

1838
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:21,759
Speaker 1: out of five Bellotar cards, canceled multiple events with zero explanation,

1839
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 1: moved title bouts to different cards. What happened, question Mark Luke.

1840
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,600
Speaker 1: What happened was they never planned on doing anything with Belator, right,

1841
01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: and they're just trying to milk the money off of

1842
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 1: whatever pre existing TV deal they had, and they wanted

1843
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:35,960
Speaker 1: to keep this alive, or they also overvalue the actual

1844
01:20:36,040 --> 01:20:39,280
Speaker 1: names on their actual PFL regular season roster and thinking

1845
01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:40,120
Speaker 1: that this is a draw.

1846
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:40,519
Speaker 4: It's not.

1847
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:42,600
Speaker 1: You get some good stories once in a while, or

1848
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,320
Speaker 1: former UFC names on the way down, but damn, the

1849
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: biggest thing list it is.

1850
01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:50,320
Speaker 4: I want to see Bellator champions compete. I don't give

1851
01:20:50,320 --> 01:20:52,160
Speaker 4: a shit if it's in a Bellator brand or some

1852
01:20:52,320 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 4: other place. Put those fucking guys in super fights at

1853
01:20:55,640 --> 01:21:01,200
Speaker 4: the top of your cards. Simplify your brand, simple your product.

1854
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 4: Look at me, put the camera on you already to boy,

1855
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:07,639
Speaker 4: oh boy, look at me. Nobody gives a flying fuck

1856
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 4: about the Champions League of MMA. It's a stupid concept.

1857
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:14,559
Speaker 4: Fans don't want it, stakeholders don't want it, Fighters don't

1858
01:21:14,560 --> 01:21:16,960
Speaker 4: give a shit. Give us as many good fights as

1859
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 4: you possibly can on a routine basis, and you will

1860
01:21:19,479 --> 01:21:20,439
Speaker 4: go a lot further than.

1861
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:21,599
Speaker 1: The Champions League.

1862
01:21:21,880 --> 01:21:22,960
Speaker 4: Oh fucking MMA.

1863
01:21:23,479 --> 01:21:23,679
Speaker 9: Wow.

1864
01:21:24,479 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 1: Let's go to Duke Rufus. He's the coach, of course,

1865
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: of Sergio Pettis' Elite beltro Fighter. He kind of nailed

1866
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,600
Speaker 1: the standpoint of why this is so frustrating.

1867
01:21:34,520 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 2: Hey, checking in from Ottawa, Canada. Up here teaching some seminars,

1868
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,960
Speaker 2: some great people. That being said, I got to bring

1869
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 2: up the elephant in the room in the MMA world

1870
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:49,320
Speaker 2: right now, what is going on with PFL and Bellator.

1871
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:53,720
Speaker 2: As a former fighter, I have a different perspective than

1872
01:21:53,880 --> 01:21:57,880
Speaker 2: managers and or people who run it because I understand

1873
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 2: being a former fighter and these guys I train that

1874
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 2: time is of the essence. You can always make more money,

1875
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 2: you can't make more time in life, and time is

1876
01:22:07,400 --> 01:22:10,559
Speaker 2: of the essence for these guys to create their goals,

1877
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,639
Speaker 2: legacies and obviously how they make a living. They don't

1878
01:22:13,640 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 2: get paid to train, they get paid to fight. Speaking up,

1879
01:22:17,400 --> 01:22:22,080
Speaker 2: my man, Sergio Pettis has not fought for Bellatore since

1880
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 2: November seventeenth of last year. He was given permission to

1881
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 2: fight for Risen in June third, that was not on

1882
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 2: this contract, and he was just offered a fight in

1883
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 2: Japan that we have heard through our Japanese contacts, but

1884
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:39,960
Speaker 2: that was for Risen. You know, there's no dates set

1885
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:44,439
Speaker 2: in sight. This is very tough for these fighters. You know,

1886
01:22:44,600 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 2: communication would be great right now. The organizations are quiet,

1887
01:22:49,439 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 2: the managers are quiet well, the fighters are sitting back

1888
01:22:53,400 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 2: waiting for scraps I don't think it's fair. Somebody, you know,

1889
01:22:57,200 --> 01:23:00,519
Speaker 2: can someone spit out some answers here? The UF already

1890
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 2: has all their dates playing through uh, you know March.

1891
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 4: You know.

1892
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:07,640
Speaker 2: I'm a small time MMA promoter. I've already got an

1893
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 2: April event in the books with a December, you know.

1894
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,840
Speaker 2: And I'm noboddy. I'm just a small time guy who

1895
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,120
Speaker 2: puts on local shows to build young talent. We've got

1896
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,240
Speaker 2: all of our tournament schedule for everything we're doing. How

1897
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,320
Speaker 2: can a major organization coming into the new year not

1898
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 2: have any dates on the books, and you know, no

1899
01:23:25,960 --> 01:23:29,519
Speaker 2: answers to these fighters. Please somebody, if you know, let

1900
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 2: me know.

1901
01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:32,320
Speaker 1: He nailed it.

1902
01:23:32,840 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 4: I cannot anything to that.

1903
01:23:34,479 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: Is there any chance that they have heard the criticisms

1904
01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:39,640
Speaker 1: of PFL and they are planning to combine everything for

1905
01:23:39,720 --> 01:23:41,640
Speaker 1: next year? And the reason whether so quiet to the

1906
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,040
Speaker 1: people that the fighters that are looking for dates is

1907
01:23:44,120 --> 01:23:46,800
Speaker 1: because they're going to get through this tournament final this

1908
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:49,000
Speaker 1: Friday and be done with that. I do have some

1909
01:23:50,720 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 1: because that would make sense if that was the case,

1910
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 1: or they're just making I.

1911
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 4: Talked to some folks, several folks I hear the PFL

1912
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,960
Speaker 4: definitely knows that to do things differently that in fact,

1913
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:05,560
Speaker 4: they're having internal conversations about changing what they do and

1914
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 4: how they do it. But you know, they could go

1915
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 4: from one bad decision to another. That doesn't mean they're

1916
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:15,519
Speaker 4: going to necessarily make good decisions going forward. They seem

1917
01:24:15,640 --> 01:24:17,960
Speaker 4: to know, to answer your question, b seen, they seem

1918
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,479
Speaker 4: to know that what they've done to this point has

1919
01:24:20,600 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 4: not worked great and has caused a series of problems.

1920
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to pick the right solutions,

1921
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 4: but like, can I tell you that internally there is

1922
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:32,759
Speaker 4: definitely a movement inside PFL, including with like strong leadership,

1923
01:24:32,880 --> 01:24:36,120
Speaker 4: to do the right thing, to do the product a

1924
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:39,719
Speaker 4: different way. Yes, I've heard that from now several people internally,

1925
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:42,320
Speaker 4: but it remains to be seeing what path they take.

1926
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:44,759
Speaker 1: I've heard that the people have made some good pitches

1927
01:24:44,760 --> 01:24:46,240
Speaker 1: behind the scenes that could make a lot of sense,

1928
01:24:46,280 --> 01:24:47,360
Speaker 1: but they've got to say yes to it.

1929
01:24:47,560 --> 01:24:48,559
Speaker 4: That's exactly correct.

1930
01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,080
Speaker 1: You know what would help these really bad UFC fight nights?

1931
01:24:52,800 --> 01:24:53,440
Speaker 4: Pornography?

1932
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:57,519
Speaker 1: Yeah? Probably, But like imagine these APEX cards we shout on,

1933
01:24:57,640 --> 01:24:59,439
Speaker 1: but then next week you get Patchy Mixed, or you

1934
01:24:59,479 --> 01:25:03,160
Speaker 1: get Corey Center, you get whoever, Like I mean let's

1935
01:25:03,240 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: keep these guys active.

1936
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 4: Okay, if you can't keep I mean again, you could say, oh, well,

1937
01:25:07,200 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 4: Pitbull's old and expensive, we don't want to pay for him.

1938
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,240
Speaker 4: First of all, let them go. Yeah that's how you feel.

1939
01:25:12,560 --> 01:25:15,560
Speaker 4: Second of all, PATCHI is probably not expensive and not

1940
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,360
Speaker 4: not old. So what's the excuse for not keeping him active? Like,

1941
01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 4: what the fuck are we doing?

1942
01:25:20,439 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, thank you very much. That's our topic for you.

1943
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,639
Speaker 1: Let's go to number five and close right here. Hey,

1944
01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:28,799
Speaker 1: it's Thanksgiving. It's the best damn holiday, no presence, everyone

1945
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:32,960
Speaker 1: comes home, best meal of the year. You're tied to

1946
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:36,120
Speaker 1: a high school football rival, were like Naugatuck versus Ansonia.

1947
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: It's still real to you, damn it. Okay, you know

1948
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,320
Speaker 1: the family football game in the backyard. I mean it's

1949
01:25:43,479 --> 01:25:45,880
Speaker 1: just meat pie the tortier if you're of the French

1950
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:49,679
Speaker 1: Canadian design like myself. But Luke, it's also a chance

1951
01:25:50,479 --> 01:25:52,799
Speaker 1: to take stock of where we're at, to press pause

1952
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:58,120
Speaker 1: on our hectic and ever anxiety inducing life journeys, and

1953
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 1: give thanks for what we maybe don't shout out enough. Luke,

1954
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: So you know what do you got for me?

1955
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 4: Luke?

1956
01:26:03,840 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: You don't have to go deep you don't have to

1957
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:08,479
Speaker 1: go crazy, but like, the hell are you thankful for

1958
01:26:08,640 --> 01:26:10,920
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four here as we close in on

1959
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:11,759
Speaker 1: this great holiday.

1960
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:15,080
Speaker 4: That's a tough one. They've been not my favorite year,

1961
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 4: twenty four year. I'll go with you. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

1962
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:20,880
Speaker 4: I've had some good years. I've had some bad years.

1963
01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,519
Speaker 4: I wouldn't put this in the good year pile. How

1964
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 4: about that? Okay, not my worst year, my worst year, yep,

1965
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:27,679
Speaker 4: but a tough one just the same.

1966
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: I mean that year you shit your pants of the

1967
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:30,120
Speaker 1: rough year.

1968
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 4: Luke and shit my pants, I stepped in my own ship.

1969
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:33,360
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's cloth.

1970
01:26:33,680 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 4: This is pretty bad. Well, first and foremost, I mean

1971
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 4: this quite sincerely. I know that some people have been

1972
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,360
Speaker 4: underwhelmed by what we were able to offer them in

1973
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 4: twenty twenty four, and for that I am sorry. But

1974
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,320
Speaker 4: there have been also a ton of people who've stuck

1975
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 4: by us, and I think, first and foremost, it would

1976
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 4: be awful of us did not stop and say for

1977
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,320
Speaker 4: the folks who stuck with us, and there's many, many

1978
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:59,920
Speaker 4: of you. Of course, I am so grateful. I am

1979
01:27:00,160 --> 01:27:02,320
Speaker 4: so grateful that there's a lot of people who still

1980
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:05,160
Speaker 4: gave us a chance, and are giving us a chance.

1981
01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:07,120
Speaker 1: I still want and feel like they need us in

1982
01:27:07,200 --> 01:27:08,479
Speaker 1: their lives in some form.

1983
01:27:08,560 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 4: I think first and foremost on a professional level, what

1984
01:27:11,240 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 4: I think of first is I think of all of

1985
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 4: those people because, by the way, I still run into

1986
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:16,960
Speaker 4: in the streets, and they also have a lot of

1987
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:19,879
Speaker 4: good things to say. So for that reason, I'm extremely

1988
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:22,200
Speaker 4: extremely grateful. It's the first thing i'd say. Second of all, Man,

1989
01:27:22,320 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 4: look we're talking about this before the show. Dude, I

1990
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:25,680
Speaker 4: don't know if being a dad is the right call

1991
01:27:25,800 --> 01:27:27,880
Speaker 4: for everybody. And you know, sometimes folks are like, I

1992
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 4: don't want to be a parent, and everyone accuses of

1993
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 4: them of being selfish. Nah, it's not for everybody, you

1994
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 4: know what I mean, But it's definitely for me. It's

1995
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:39,040
Speaker 4: definitely for me. It My daughter is now learning to

1996
01:27:39,160 --> 01:27:42,560
Speaker 4: read and learning to think through problems, and like is

1997
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:46,840
Speaker 4: asking questions about the world and just has her own personality.

1998
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,639
Speaker 4: And dude, I cannot tell you the level of joy

1999
01:27:50,800 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 4: this brings me. I showed her the because it was Halloween.

2000
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,160
Speaker 4: I showed her the Thriller video, the dancing they do,

2001
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,599
Speaker 4: all the dances, and it blew her mind. And she's

2002
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:02,160
Speaker 4: been practicing the thriller dance and to watch her work

2003
01:28:02,200 --> 01:28:05,320
Speaker 4: on this and then to ask questions and then just

2004
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 4: to assert her personhood has been some of the most

2005
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:14,639
Speaker 4: rewarding feelings I've had maybe ever. Maybe awesome, it's fucking great,

2006
01:28:14,840 --> 01:28:17,120
Speaker 4: like being a dad. Again, It's not for everybody. It's

2007
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 4: definitely do.

2008
01:28:17,840 --> 01:28:20,120
Speaker 1: You think, honest question, because I'm going through some of

2009
01:28:20,160 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 1: the same things. Do you think the back and forth

2010
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: up and down stress occupationally of this year of not

2011
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,840
Speaker 1: always being actually never being in control and never knowing

2012
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:34,040
Speaker 1: what's coming around the corner has forced you to kind

2013
01:28:34,080 --> 01:28:37,400
Speaker 1: of enjoy even more what you have around you.

2014
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:39,640
Speaker 4: Maybe that is more valuable I would For me, it

2015
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,599
Speaker 4: feels more that as her brain and you know, develops

2016
01:28:43,600 --> 01:28:46,800
Speaker 4: and she becomes more of a thinking person, you know,

2017
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:50,200
Speaker 4: it's just a marvel to watch. It's like incredible to

2018
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 4: see this. And again it's like, oh, she can't read

2019
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:55,320
Speaker 4: certain words one week, and then the next week she's

2020
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,519
Speaker 4: reading words even more advanced. Or at the playground, you know,

2021
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,280
Speaker 4: she has callouses over her hands working on the monkey bars.

2022
01:29:01,320 --> 01:29:04,280
Speaker 4: Like there's gonna be people hearing this and thinking that

2023
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 4: this is like the worst audio they've ever heard. I'm

2024
01:29:06,120 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 4: telling you for the right person that's gonna be the best.

2025
01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,680
Speaker 4: It's been fucking great that that has been like the

2026
01:29:11,760 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 4: thing that's been and my wife obviously too, has been

2027
01:29:13,439 --> 01:29:15,719
Speaker 4: amazing this year, but just being a dad has been great.

2028
01:29:15,760 --> 01:29:18,640
Speaker 4: I think, last, but not least, Dude, I mean, you're horrendous,

2029
01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:20,439
Speaker 4: and I.

2030
01:29:20,479 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: Have to be really veteran now too. I'm like, do

2031
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:23,200
Speaker 1: I break up the speech?

2032
01:29:23,280 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 4: No, I think you're horrendous. But in general, I would say, dude,

2033
01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:28,920
Speaker 4: I don't take what we have for granted at all.

2034
01:29:29,800 --> 01:29:32,160
Speaker 4: I am still glad that we're in business together. I

2035
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:33,760
Speaker 4: think we still make a lot of sense being in

2036
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:36,720
Speaker 4: business together. And Dude, something could go wrong at any point. Yeah,

2037
01:29:37,040 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 4: and I'm much I think it's much better for me

2038
01:29:40,000 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 4: that we have this partnership than don't. And I am

2039
01:29:45,160 --> 01:29:47,240
Speaker 4: grateful for you, dude, I really am. I really mean

2040
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,599
Speaker 4: that quite necessarily. That doesn't mean I want to kick

2041
01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:50,599
Speaker 4: you in the balls half the time.

2042
01:29:50,680 --> 01:29:53,040
Speaker 1: Oh, I think going to kick you twice is hard normally.

2043
01:29:53,240 --> 01:29:57,680
Speaker 4: But there's obviously many more things I'm grateful for, you know,

2044
01:29:57,800 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 4: in general, but we'll stand out to.

2045
01:30:00,160 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Thank you, Luke. Tom. That was very nice of you.

2046
01:30:02,600 --> 01:30:05,800
Speaker 1: I can echo the same thing because it's weird. It's like,

2047
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 1: sometimes this show is like that awesome extra thing we

2048
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:12,120
Speaker 1: do in our career portfolio, and then sometimes you go, wait,

2049
01:30:12,640 --> 01:30:14,519
Speaker 1: this is like the backbone of it all, you know

2050
01:30:14,520 --> 01:30:16,880
Speaker 1: what I mean? And at times this show has been that.

2051
01:30:16,960 --> 01:30:19,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, I echo you on on saying thank you

2052
01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:22,240
Speaker 1: to you. I'm being happy that we can press pause

2053
01:30:22,320 --> 01:30:24,160
Speaker 1: and give thanks that we're still going, that we still

2054
01:30:24,240 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 1: got a now our two date week operation. I mean

2055
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:28,120
Speaker 1: it's not lost. I mean we get to come to

2056
01:30:28,200 --> 01:30:32,120
Speaker 1: this beautiful studio in Manhattan and make a professional looking

2057
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:34,280
Speaker 1: I mean we're not professional, but a professional looking show.

2058
01:30:34,960 --> 01:30:37,600
Speaker 1: And that because that audience has stayed with us and

2059
01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:40,200
Speaker 1: stayed loyal, and there's sometimes they're encouraging us to kno,

2060
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:42,720
Speaker 1: keep going as much as we might be encouraging them

2061
01:30:42,800 --> 01:30:47,200
Speaker 1: with a word or two here and there. They've kept

2062
01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,120
Speaker 1: us afloat as much as we may have them. But

2063
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,800
Speaker 1: we're almost like doing something new here. And at first

2064
01:30:52,840 --> 01:30:54,519
Speaker 1: I was disappointed in it because it's not the mka

2065
01:30:54,600 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 1: of old, the old structure, the bomb shelter, the RSD,

2066
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 1: this pregame preview, Chuck on the roof, we had something

2067
01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,760
Speaker 1: special there, but it doesn't mean we're not going to

2068
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 1: create something new and different, and I think we're on

2069
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:07,680
Speaker 1: the way to that. I like what we've created with

2070
01:31:07,720 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 1: these Monday shows. I'm proud of them. I think we're

2071
01:31:09,600 --> 01:31:11,120
Speaker 1: on a good run of late and I think we're

2072
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:13,559
Speaker 1: making you know, we're taking the best swing we can

2073
01:31:13,680 --> 01:31:16,760
Speaker 1: with what we're given. And obviously I'm thankful to Brian

2074
01:31:16,840 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 1: Daily for carrying us through a very very rough patch

2075
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,680
Speaker 1: our old Boston Showtime, who is doing great things with

2076
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:25,360
Speaker 1: all the smoke and all the smoke fight. And I'm

2077
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:29,400
Speaker 1: thankful for Mikey, who is always has our back in

2078
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 1: this show's history and still to some degree, you know,

2079
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:34,200
Speaker 1: has a role with us and Long Island. Luke kind

2080
01:31:34,200 --> 01:31:38,480
Speaker 1: of came a blast from the past, but he's blossomed

2081
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:41,960
Speaker 1: Luke into a valuable, valuable player for us. Would you

2082
01:31:42,000 --> 01:31:43,680
Speaker 1: agree with that. I'm thankful for him, is what I'm

2083
01:31:43,680 --> 01:31:44,120
Speaker 1: trying to say.

2084
01:31:44,200 --> 01:31:46,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'd wish he'd stop masturbating during the show, but

2085
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:47,800
Speaker 4: other than that, he's pretty great.

2086
01:31:47,840 --> 01:31:52,479
Speaker 1: You guys are really distracting me, so yes, I echo

2087
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:56,679

2091
01:32:03,880 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 1: like two years truncated run. And uh, you know, from

Speaker 1: scary tattoos, but he was a nice guy. A single dad.

2110

Speaker 1: Now we haven't heard him in like four or five years.

Speaker 1: He may be incarcerated.

2112
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:04,679

Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's probably where it went. But yeah,

2115
01:33:11,880 --> 01:33:13,560

2116
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: a microphone. All Right, it's life. You know, it'll kick

2117
01:33:15,920 --> 01:33:18,400
Speaker 1: you right in the gut once in a while. But man,

2118
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 1: you talk about Tukes inspiring you my sixteen year old's

2119
01:33:21,479 --> 01:33:24,439
Speaker 1: twin sons, their juniors in high school. These guys, I mean,

2120
01:33:24,520 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 1: that's my inspiration, you know what I mean. I watched

2121
01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:29,760
Speaker 1: my son Isaac, who has CP and you know, was

2122
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:33,040
Speaker 1: running across country times that nobody was impressed with for

2123
01:33:33,120 --> 01:33:35,160
Speaker 1: a while despite how hard he worked. And this year

2124
01:33:35,160 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: he made these huge goals and cut nine minutes off

2125
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,800
Speaker 1: his time, and before the championship race of the year,

2126
01:33:40,280 --> 01:33:42,559
Speaker 1: he was like, coach, I'm gonna you know, he threw

2127
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:43,880
Speaker 1: out a time he wanted to get, which was like

2128
01:33:43,920 --> 01:33:46,800
Speaker 1: four minutes faster than he ever ran, and the coach like, no,

2129
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,840
Speaker 1: I don't think you should try that. You know, let's

2130
01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 1: be realistic. And he came out and he crushed it,

2131
01:33:51,400 --> 01:33:53,360
Speaker 1: and he delivered the time, and he collapsed the finish

2132
01:33:53,439 --> 01:33:55,400
Speaker 1: line and I picked him up and I carried him back,

2133
01:33:55,439 --> 01:33:58,920
Speaker 1: and I was just like, I can't celebrate that in

2134
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:01,040
Speaker 1: front of me and me to get through the ups

2135
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:03,880
Speaker 1: and downs of the hard instances in life. And my

2136
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:07,000
Speaker 1: other son Chris turning his ankle in the championship meet

2137
01:34:07,320 --> 01:34:09,679
Speaker 1: and breaking like a little part of that what connects

2138
01:34:09,720 --> 01:34:12,719
Speaker 1: your toe to your ankle and still running all conference

2139
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,960
Speaker 1: and finishing the final two miles hurt, and like, that's

2140
01:34:15,960 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. Those are the moments that I'm

2141
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,600
Speaker 1: most thankful for. These guys are just out there, you know,

2142
01:34:21,720 --> 01:34:24,000
Speaker 1: fighting because that's all we can do. Look, okay, let

2143
01:34:24,040 --> 01:34:25,600
Speaker 1: me Tony Robbins. You we could just pick up the

2144
01:34:25,640 --> 01:34:28,600
Speaker 1: fist and fighting and fighting and fart and that's what

2145
01:34:28,720 --> 01:34:31,040

Speaker 4: So there we go.

2149
01:34:34,840 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 1: It's it's it's a it's a great life. If we

2150
01:34:37,520 --> 01:34:39,160
Speaker 1: if we stop once in a while and look around,

2151
01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 1: and we should ask Long Island, Luke, what's what, What's

2152
01:34:41,439 --> 01:34:42,559
Speaker 1: what's on the thankful radar?

2153
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 4: Marijuana?

2154
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to reiterate everything you guys said.

2155
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:48,360
Speaker 7: You know, family, my girlfriend, all the donks out there

2156
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 7: who support main card menu at n MK, and yes,

2157
01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:52,280
Speaker 7: definitely marijuana as well.

2158
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:53,760
Speaker 1: There you go, There you go, shout out to Alan

2159
01:34:53,920 --> 01:34:55,720
Speaker 1: W Another another real one out there. We got a

2160
01:34:55,720 --> 01:34:58,840
Speaker 1: lot of good folks, a lot of them. So are

2161
01:34:58,880 --> 01:35:02,120
Speaker 1: you thankful for anything of calm sports? Luke that I

2162
01:35:02,200 --> 01:35:03,640
Speaker 1: have a job in it, you know? I mean, are

2163
01:35:03,640 --> 01:35:05,840
Speaker 1: you thankful for Uncle Turkey putting on these huge fights

2164
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:12,439
Speaker 1: despite the Uncle Turkey? Yes, Sir alishk Oh his Empress, Yes.

2165
01:35:14,600 --> 01:35:17,800
Speaker 4: I'd rather the Saudi's not be involved. Okay, I'm still

2166
01:35:17,800 --> 01:35:20,000
Speaker 4: excited for a few like did he make fights happen

2167
01:35:20,040 --> 01:35:21,160
Speaker 4: that probably would not have happened?

2168
01:35:21,240 --> 01:35:23,240
Speaker 1: Yes, And so I'm thankful for that in that sense, yes,

2169
01:35:23,320 --> 01:35:25,280
Speaker 1: all right. Or maybe we're thankful for Dana White in

2170
01:35:25,360 --> 01:35:26,479
Speaker 1: some ways, maybe.

2171
01:35:26,479 --> 01:35:30,400
Speaker 4: I'm grateful that we live in the something approximating the

2172
01:35:30,439 --> 01:35:32,479
Speaker 4: golden age of combat sports. I think that golden age

2173
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 4: has led to a little bit of less golden age.

2174
01:35:34,680 --> 01:35:36,960
Speaker 4: But in general, you know, having been a fight fan

2175
01:35:37,600 --> 01:35:39,720
Speaker 4: when you didn't have access to fights hardly at all.

2176
01:35:39,760 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 4: There was no like YouTube or you know, online catalog

2177
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:46,160
Speaker 4: you could go just sift through, and it wasn't you

2178
01:35:46,200 --> 01:35:48,960
Speaker 4: couldn't get it on your phone. And now everything is

2179
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:50,800
Speaker 4: at the touch of your fingertips. Again, everyone already knows this,

2180
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:52,760
Speaker 4: but having lived through different eras, I am very, very

2181
01:35:52,800 --> 01:35:53,360
Speaker 4: grateful for that.

2182
01:35:53,640 --> 01:35:55,200
Speaker 1: And I have to say one final thing. I'm thankful for.

2183
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,439
Speaker 1: This media business largely sucks. There's a lot of sharks

2184
01:35:58,479 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 1: in the water. It's cutthroat, but it's whatever on both

2185
01:36:01,040 --> 01:36:04,080
Speaker 1: sides boxing and MMA. Particularly in MMA, I got a

2186
01:36:04,080 --> 01:36:07,559
Speaker 1: shout out, like there's a brother and sisterhood that seems

2187
01:36:07,600 --> 01:36:09,760
Speaker 1: to have like be bubbling up lately. I feel like, yeah,

2188
01:36:09,800 --> 01:36:12,200
Speaker 1: there's some aggressive folks and people that start a lot

2189
01:36:12,280 --> 01:36:13,599
Speaker 1: of trouble, but there's a lot of people out there

2190
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:15,840
Speaker 1: supporting each other. Those people have us on their shows

2191
01:36:15,840 --> 01:36:18,000
Speaker 1: a lot, you know what I mean, whether it's Submission Radio,

2192
01:36:18,080 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 1: whether it's Mike Hack and Jed over Anime fighting, and

2193
01:36:22,240 --> 01:36:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, from Mike Boone who just got engaged. Shout

2194
01:36:25,080 --> 01:36:28,400
Speaker 1: out to Mike Bond, so congratulations on that. Oscar Willis.

2195
01:36:28,400 --> 01:36:29,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Alan Dawson. We can go up

2196
01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:31,400
Speaker 1: and down and name a lot of people that we love,

2197
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:34,200
Speaker 1: but there does seem to be like a good, a

2198
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:37,080
Speaker 1: good mood out there in this in this space of

2199
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:38,639
Speaker 1: people trying to help each other out and lift each

2200
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:40,000
Speaker 1: other up. So that's good, you know, I'd like to

2201
01:36:40,080 --> 01:36:41,880
Speaker 1: see that there's still some good out there. Luke, You're like,

2202
01:36:41,920 --> 01:36:43,200
Speaker 1: I hate everybody in this business.

2203
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:46,280
Speaker 4: No, no, I'm just uh, I'm tired, all right, all right, well.

2204
01:36:46,240 --> 01:36:48,160
Speaker 1: Luke, let's take it home with our final two segments.

2205
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:51,200
Speaker 1: First and foremost, we give you the opportunity every Sunday

2206
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 1: night to reach out to us at morning combat and

2207
01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:56,760
Speaker 1: social media, respond to our dms from Donk's questions to

2209
01:36:58,960 --> 01:37:00,680
Speaker 1: right now, but if they're not good or you have

2210
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:03,280
Speaker 1: a weird username, you're probably gonna get roasted. Let's hear it.

2211
01:37:03,320 --> 01:37:04,560
Speaker 1: It's stems from Donks.

2212
01:37:08,280 --> 01:37:11,120
Speaker 4: BC as emblematic very quickly, if I may about how

2213
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:13,840
Speaker 4: this year has gone. Like they put the live clips

2214
01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:17,360
Speaker 4: during the show, there was like a gigantic like misspelling

2215
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:19,599
Speaker 4: in the actual tweet. They wrote, twenty twenty four hasn't

2216
01:37:19,680 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 4: be our best, but we are thankful for all you

2217
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 4: loyal Donks out there. And I'm like that's quite emblematic.

2218
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:26,599
Speaker 1: It is that is that's very nice right there. First

2219

2223
01:37:42,080 --> 01:37:44,600
Speaker 1: with Payota Yana. Do you think he's a top three boxer? No,

2241
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:34,600

01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:35,400
Speaker 4: Than New because it's emptier.

2243
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:38,120

2251
01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:55,800
Speaker 1: let's put it up there.

2252
01:38:56,520 --> 01:39:02,679

Speaker 4: women's bandom weight by far?

2257
01:39:12,680 --> 01:39:13,200
Speaker 1: Tell me why?

2258
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 4: Because can you even name like the top five of

2259
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:17,439
Speaker 4: women's bandam weight right now?

2260
01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:17,640
Speaker 8: No?

2261
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I can name five heavyweights and five light heavyweights.

2262
01:39:20,920 --> 01:39:22,920
Speaker 1: That could just be and you're a sexist piece of shit.

2263
01:39:23,120 --> 01:39:26,040
Speaker 7: No, No, women's bandom weight is I'm pretty sure like

2264
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:28,559
Speaker 7: Chelsea Chandler is ranked in women's bandom weight and she.

2265
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:32,000
Speaker 4: I have the rankings up let's pull up. Well, Women's

2266
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,080
Speaker 4: one thirty five now that you mentioned it, porta hemplow.

2267
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:38,760
Speaker 4: All right, Women's one thirty five. What we have is, uh,

2268
01:39:39,320 --> 01:39:41,599
Speaker 4: Juliana Pages your champion. So number one would be Pennington,

2269
01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 4: two Harrison, three Vieira for Macy uh and then tied

2270
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,400
Speaker 4: is normal Dumont, and then six because there's no five

2271
01:39:48,960 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 4: is al Donna. It's like, yeah, not great. That's definitely

2272
01:39:53,840 --> 01:39:56,280
Speaker 4: the worst of the three. Yeah, definitely, dude. Let heavyweight

2273
01:39:56,360 --> 01:39:58,120
Speaker 4: is some shit. I mean, people don't want to say

2274
01:39:58,160 --> 01:40:02,519
Speaker 4: that two of five sucks. Polton's great light heavyweight in

2275
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:04,920
Speaker 4: the Jones Erow was always shipped to. It always had

2276
01:40:05,040 --> 01:40:05,679
Speaker 4: like three.

2277
01:40:05,560 --> 01:40:05,880
Speaker 1: Guys and.

2278
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,519
Speaker 4: I'm talking like DC Rumble.

2279
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:12,439
Speaker 7: You could throw Gustafson in there and John those were

2280
01:40:12,520 --> 01:40:14,960
Speaker 7: always the interchangeable top four.

2281
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:16,880
Speaker 4: Did he beat Hill? Gun? He beat Ray?

2282
01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:20,560
Speaker 1: You're talking to what kind of a conversation, Know what

2283
01:40:20,560 --> 01:40:20,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

2284
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 7: The era when he was raining had a very weak

2285
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:26,920
Speaker 7: division up top, not weak, but it had the top

2286
01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:28,640
Speaker 7: four guys just chilling up there. It was kind of

2287
01:40:28,680 --> 01:40:30,200
Speaker 7: like Joseph Benavitez at flyweight.

2288
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:33,880
Speaker 4: You know, I don't think that's quite right. The next

2289
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:39,280
Speaker 4: let's go to the next one. Uh from burgol fits.

2290
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:42,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna guess this gentleman is Irish. With two Irish Ye,

2291
01:40:42,479 --> 01:40:44,880
Speaker 4: there you go, with two Irish fighters having two big

2292
01:40:44,960 --> 01:40:49,440
Speaker 4: fights announced recently. I'm Gary, I and Gary versus Shavcat

2293
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:52,639
Speaker 4: and Hughes versus Ousman. Which of the two Irish fighters

2294
01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,439
Speaker 4: do you think has a better chance of winning that?

2295
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:57,120
Speaker 4: That's a good call, good question. I don't know what

2296
01:40:57,200 --> 01:40:59,720
Speaker 4: the odds are I personally, I mean, it's a tough

2297
01:40:59,760 --> 01:41:02,320
Speaker 4: fight either way. It's a tough fight either way. What

2298
01:41:02,400 --> 01:41:03,320
Speaker 4: do we have Longland Luke.

2299
01:41:03,400 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 1: I don't have him in front of me, but top

2300
01:41:04,800 --> 01:41:05,200
Speaker 1: of my head.

2301
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:08,200
Speaker 7: Last I looked Shapcott was like minus three something and

2302
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,080
Speaker 7: Ian Gary was plus two something.

2303
01:41:10,400 --> 01:41:12,040
Speaker 1: I don't know about Hughes and Usman.

2304
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:14,240
Speaker 4: What's your what's your read on who has a better

2305
01:41:14,800 --> 01:41:15,959
Speaker 4: What the fuck dude.

2306
01:41:17,560 --> 01:41:18,599
Speaker 1: Said something? We're good.

2307
01:41:21,640 --> 01:41:24,080
Speaker 7: I read on which fight? I think Shavcott beat and

2308
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:26,880
Speaker 7: Gary and fuck man, I'm favorite.

2309
01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 4: Should beat Paul Hughes, but I feel like Hughes might

2310
01:41:31,040 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 4: have a better shot.

2311
01:41:32,400 --> 01:41:33,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can agree with that.

2312
01:41:33,680 --> 01:41:35,000
Speaker 4: What do you think who's got a better shot as

2313
01:41:35,000 --> 01:41:39,200
Speaker 4: an Irish guy? Paul Hughes against Usmann Rigaminov or Ian

2314
01:41:39,240 --> 01:41:42,439
Speaker 4: Gary against Schofcott Rockmanov. Who's got a better shot?

2315
01:41:43,560 --> 01:41:44,200
Speaker 1: Paul Hughes?

2316
01:41:46,439 --> 01:41:46,720
Speaker 2: All right?

2317
01:41:46,880 --> 01:41:47,680
Speaker 1: Is there last one one?

2318
01:41:47,720 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 4: More?

2319
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:50,640
Speaker 1: From sticks place?

2320
01:41:51,360 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 4: Time? What's the worst thing a professional fighter has personally

2321
01:41:55,400 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 4: said to you? With the worst thing? I don't even

2322
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,120
Speaker 4: know what that means. What's the nicest thing a professional

2323
01:41:59,160 --> 01:41:59,439
Speaker 4: fighter has?

2324
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:01,200
Speaker 1: How would you not know what that means? What's what's

2325
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:04,680
Speaker 1: the worst thing a fighter said to you? I mean

2326
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:06,360
Speaker 1: probably John Jones dounkey on you in public.

2327
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:08,840
Speaker 4: It was a dick move, but I didn't feel like

2328
01:42:08,920 --> 01:42:10,800
Speaker 4: it was. I mean, it made the rounds, but it

2329
01:42:10,840 --> 01:42:12,280
Speaker 4: didn't hurt my feelings.

2330
01:42:12,000 --> 01:42:14,120
Speaker 1: Right, But it was a total dick move from him.

2331
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,600
Speaker 4: Okay, But like, would the worst thing be something that

2332
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 4: had them? I mean, I guess the biggest impact would

2333
01:42:18,320 --> 01:42:20,120
Speaker 4: be the worst. But I'm just saying, like, what's the

2334
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:22,040
Speaker 4: thing that made me feel differently?

2335
01:42:24,080 --> 01:42:25,760
Speaker 1: Mike Perry told me it would kill me the next time?

2336
01:42:25,840 --> 01:42:27,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I've had them threatened me a couple

2337
01:42:27,280 --> 01:42:28,679
Speaker 4: of times in private.

2338
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:30,080
Speaker 6: Oh really?

2339
01:42:30,200 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I didn't know about that. Oh yeah, I've

2340
01:42:31,800 --> 01:42:34,960
Speaker 4: had a couple of those. They didn't do anything, but

2341
01:42:35,120 --> 01:42:37,599
Speaker 4: they've you know, they could they you got body for days,

2342
01:42:37,920 --> 01:42:41,120
Speaker 4: for days. The best thing is I've had pro fighters

2343
01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:42,880
Speaker 4: asked me to do tape study for them.

2344
01:42:43,960 --> 01:42:44,679
Speaker 1: That's pretty awesome.

2345
01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:46,160
Speaker 4: It's a pretty nice I mean, it tells you to

2346
01:42:46,240 --> 01:42:47,160
Speaker 4: have a high opinion, you know.

2347
01:42:47,560 --> 01:42:49,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean I've I've gotten I've

2348
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:52,120
Speaker 1: had nice moments of fighters when you're talking real life

2349
01:42:52,160 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: stuff and they you know, they're like a friend in

2350
01:42:53,880 --> 01:42:55,320
Speaker 1: a moment, you know what I mean. It's cool. I

2351
01:42:55,360 --> 01:42:57,679
Speaker 1: don't try to be friend fighters, but there's some good meanings.

2352
01:42:57,960 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 4: I think it's a bad idea to do that as

2353
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:02,200
Speaker 4: media anyway, but you know it's I have a couple

2354
01:43:02,200 --> 01:43:03,440
Speaker 4: of professional alliances.

2355
01:43:03,600 --> 01:43:06,240
Speaker 1: Yes, but inevitably I'm going to say something critical because

2356
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:06,720
Speaker 1: that's our job.

2357
01:43:06,800 --> 01:43:07,360
Speaker 4: That's the job.

2358
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:09,160
Speaker 1: That's the job, all right, you know what my job is.

Speaker 1: my ship. Enjoy it, Luke Thomas. Mike Perry's Dirty Boxing

2372
01:43:48,280 --> 01:43:51,120
Speaker 1: had a soft launch, I guess for the weekend, so

2373
01:43:51,200 --> 01:43:53,439
Speaker 1: it wasn't televised. They ended up putting the fights out

2374
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,280
Speaker 1: after the fact. I don't know why. YouTube somewhere. Yeah,

2375
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:58,120
Speaker 1: Ben the Bane Davis and Chris al Jerry are the

2376
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:02,080
Speaker 1: announcement of those guys. Yeah for sure. Let's go to

2377
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:04,400
Speaker 1: Joel Romero in the main event. He got a new

2378
01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:06,759
Speaker 1: opponent last minute. It turned out to be Dwayne Crespo

2379
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:10,680
Speaker 1: of Power Slap Fan. Yeah, and Crespo took it to.

2380
01:44:10,680 --> 01:44:12,360
Speaker 4: Say, you want to talk about body for days, look

2381
01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:13,160
Speaker 4: at Joel Romara.

2382
01:44:13,400 --> 01:44:15,720
Speaker 1: So he's forty seven. He called out Jake Paul afterwards.

2383
01:44:15,760 --> 01:44:17,519
Speaker 1: He kind of he feels he fits right into that.

2384
01:44:17,800 --> 01:44:19,599
Speaker 1: You know of who the type of guy's Jake Paul fights.

2385
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 1: But do you want to see Jake Paul on paper

2386
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:21,880
Speaker 1: against anybody who's forty seven.

2387
01:44:21,880 --> 01:44:24,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to see Jake Paul against anybody who's

2388
01:44:24,240 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 4: not good enough. I don't.

2389
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, although you well can box. I mean, I, okay,

2390
01:44:28,439 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: we thought Anderson might beat Jake. You don't think you

2391
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 1: eell could be.

2392
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:35,120
Speaker 4: Jake the same age as Anderson. When Anderson thought Jake noon,

2393
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:36,840
Speaker 4: I will say that, what did you think of how

2394
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 4: that event looked? Did I take my opinion on it? Yeah,

2395
01:44:40,200 --> 01:44:42,040
Speaker 4: So here's my opinion of how it looked. We're on

2396
01:44:42,080 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 4: the clip one more time, and it's obviously you well

2397
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:45,600
Speaker 4: knocking the guy out, but like.

2398
01:44:45,840 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 1: You can punch on the ground too a little bit right,

2399
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:48,439
Speaker 1: there's some.

2400
01:44:48,520 --> 01:44:50,240
Speaker 4: Rules about that. Here's how my view of it is.

2401
01:44:51,240 --> 01:44:52,720
Speaker 4: Part of it is they were going for like an

2402
01:44:52,880 --> 01:44:56,320
Speaker 4: underground kind of old school esthetic, which I actually feel

2403
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 4: like they kind of pulled on.

2404
01:44:57,800 --> 01:44:59,400
Speaker 1: I actually liked the way it looks like we're in

2405
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:02,040
Speaker 1: the beginning of one when when Bubbaugh Spiderrica.

2406
01:45:02,120 --> 01:45:04,960
Speaker 4: However, if I told you, does it look like they

2407
01:45:05,000 --> 01:45:08,280
Speaker 4: were in a basement somewhere in Florida, it also looks

2408
01:45:08,320 --> 01:45:12,200
Speaker 4: that way, yes, So I actually feel like I can't

2409
01:45:12,280 --> 01:45:13,599
Speaker 4: quite tell if I like it or not. I think

2410
01:45:13,640 --> 01:45:15,880
Speaker 4: I do. I'm not sure it could be.

2411
01:45:16,040 --> 01:45:17,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you can lead with like elbows, you can,

2412
01:45:18,000 --> 01:45:23,559
Speaker 1: you know, fight in the Clinton looked atmosphere. Ben Davis

2413
01:45:23,640 --> 01:45:25,920
Speaker 1: was getting paid to work there, but he came out

2414
01:45:26,040 --> 01:45:27,960
Speaker 1: and was aggressive on Twitter and saying that this like

2415
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:30,240
Speaker 1: the fight. Fans will fall in love with the style

2416
01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:30,519
Speaker 1: of it.

2417
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:32,760
Speaker 4: Because it was like boutique fighting. You know what I mean,

2418
01:45:32,840 --> 01:45:34,440
Speaker 4: sah crowd intimate venue.

2419
01:45:34,439 --> 01:45:36,519
Speaker 1: Right, well it looks look at this picture of Romero

2420
01:45:36,640 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 1: getting that punch. Wow, just putting it right through Crespo.

2421
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:42,280
Speaker 1: They also had celebrity client tele.

2422
01:45:42,600 --> 01:45:44,120
Speaker 4: Cres Bo Bean's curl in Spanish.

2423
01:45:44,320 --> 01:45:47,320
Speaker 1: Oh interesting, Big Ben Rothwell among them, but they got Boney.

2424
01:45:47,400 --> 01:45:49,439
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Johnny Meat was in the house and was

2425
01:45:49,520 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: doing the meat dance for everyone.

2426
01:45:51,360 --> 01:45:51,519
Speaker 4: Right?

2427
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:54,160
Speaker 1: Is this a is this through the cow? Was this

2428
01:45:54,280 --> 01:45:56,280
Speaker 1: is how this was facilitated? I thought he broke up

2429
01:45:56,320 --> 01:45:57,960
Speaker 1: with the Cows. When did he get back in good

2430
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 1: graces with them? I don't know if that means he's

2431
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:02,080
Speaker 1: representing them, but maybe it's just like they turned.

2432
01:46:02,280 --> 01:46:05,719
Speaker 4: I had a long phone call with Malki after they split.

2433
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:07,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. Maybe this means there's a reunion.

2434
01:46:08,080 --> 01:46:08,800
Speaker 1: I mean I don't talk to him.

2435
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:11,880
Speaker 7: But remember when Mike Perry was training at Jackson Wink

2436
01:46:11,920 --> 01:46:13,320
Speaker 7: for a little bit and him and John were kind

2437
01:46:13,320 --> 01:46:14,960
Speaker 7: of buddy buddy, they might just be boys, and he

2438
01:46:15,040 --> 01:46:18,120
Speaker 7: invited him, but do they.

2439
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:19,760
Speaker 4: Were managed and they had a falling out and it

2440
01:46:19,840 --> 01:46:22,240
Speaker 4: was like a public falling out, like when did they reck?

2441
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:23,800
Speaker 4: And by the way, I haven't seen Milky. I've seen

2442
01:46:23,840 --> 01:46:28,120
Speaker 4: his brother Abraham, who I also know. I don't know.

2443
01:46:28,240 --> 01:46:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know when that happened.

2444
01:46:29,439 --> 01:46:30,800
Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't know. I mean, he doesn't

2445
01:46:30,800 --> 01:46:32,519
Speaker 4: talk to me that ever asks him these questions, so

2446
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,599
Speaker 4: we never get answers to anything that's not true. Kevin

2447
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:36,960
Speaker 4: and I always would ask the question, but no one has,

2448
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 4: No one has.

2449
01:46:37,520 --> 01:46:39,479
Speaker 1: I think John Jones at your first event is not bad.

2450
01:46:40,600 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 4: Again, they have the same management.

2451
01:46:42,080 --> 01:46:44,160
Speaker 1: All right, let's see this highlight. This is Rob Perez

2452
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:46,599
Speaker 1: needing to be pulled off his opponent. As you can see,

2453
01:46:46,640 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 1: you can do some ground fighting maybe.

2454
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:49,760
Speaker 4: When they go down the rules and again they were

2455
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:53,799
Speaker 4: kind of launching it. But I will say it looks okay, referee,

2456
01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:54,840
Speaker 4: What the fuck are we waiting on.

2457
01:46:56,200 --> 01:46:56,560
Speaker 7: I like that.

2458
01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:58,960
Speaker 1: He waves it off first before removing the opponent.

2459
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:03,360
Speaker 4: All right, all right, Newton, you got a guy wearing

2460
01:47:03,400 --> 01:47:06,760
Speaker 4: a fucking I love it. I love the worst hat ever.

2461
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 4: I love it jumping in the ring.

2462
01:47:09,040 --> 01:47:12,120
Speaker 1: All right, Well, Luke, sometimes there's a reality with spicy

2463
01:47:12,240 --> 01:47:13,960
Speaker 1: food that you got to know your limits.

2464
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 4: Right, I fucking love spicy food.

2465
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, bro, I can handle my spicy food.

2466
01:47:18,880 --> 01:47:31,120
Speaker 6: Ah A few minutes later, can I be honest?

2467
01:47:32,040 --> 01:47:35,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, that never happens to Oh yeah right, I have

2468
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:40,400

2469
01:47:40,520 --> 01:47:42,439
Speaker 4: the butthole from eating spicy food.

2470
01:47:42,520 --> 01:47:44,719
Speaker 1: It has literally never happened.

2471
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 7: I want to chime in here to say, butts, I

01:47:48,520 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 7: eat a lot of spicy food. Also never felt that.

2473
01:47:50,520 --> 01:47:52,960
Speaker 7: I did enter a hot wing eating contest once.

2474
01:47:53,360 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 4: And now I know what everyone's talking about.

2475
01:47:55,120 --> 01:47:58,639
Speaker 1: Oh, explain yourself pretty much. The video we just watched,

2476

Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, it was like I literally was sitting there

01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:08,760
Speaker 4: being like, this is what everyone talks about.

2480
01:48:08,880 --> 01:48:12,200
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, you gotta know your limits, Luke. All right,

2481
01:48:12,240 --> 01:48:14,720
Speaker 1: let's keep it going. Did you see this violence in pickleball?

2498
01:49:03,439 --> 01:49:05,680

2499
01:49:05,680 --> 01:49:08,400
Speaker 4: got the world's worst views, but as a sympathetic character

2500
01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:11,200
Speaker 4: from the far, you certainly got to feel good for him.

2501
01:49:11,439 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 1: Look a dude, this is a celebration. There's fire.

2502
01:49:13,920 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 4: Have they ever been greeted anywhere where people were setting

2503
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:18,320
Speaker 4: things on fire on purpose as like a good thing?

2504
01:49:18,520 --> 01:49:21,320
Speaker 1: No, Usually when they want you out of town. Yeah, yeah,

2505
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:23,679
Speaker 1: all right, you know who else had a weird sort

2506
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 1: of second or third homecoming? How about Pooton? Alex Pereira

2507
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:29,280
Speaker 1: went to South Korea. You may have seen a lot

2508
01:49:29,320 --> 01:49:31,519
Speaker 1: of the content that came out of it. Here's him

2509
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:34,080
Speaker 1: entering the airport doing the poton danger.

2510
01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:38,760
Speaker 4: I mean, like a fucking heron dude.

2511
01:49:38,760 --> 01:49:41,439
Speaker 1: Everywhere he goes, he's he's he's just.

2512
01:49:41,680 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 4: Good for him.

2513
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:42,640
Speaker 1: He earned it.

2514
01:49:43,160 --> 01:49:44,640
Speaker 4: So like, what are you gonna say he didn't earn it.

2515
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:46,599
Speaker 1: No, of course he earned it. But maybe we need

2516
01:49:46,640 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 1: to realize he's a lot bigger of a global star

2517
01:49:49,080 --> 01:49:49,800
Speaker 1: than we even like.

2518
01:49:50,800 --> 01:49:52,760
Speaker 4: He's definitely a big star and he earned it. I mean,

2519
01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:54,519
Speaker 4: this is the thing. We can have a debate about

2520
01:49:54,520 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 4: Fighter of the Year and it's fine. People can pick

2521
01:49:56,120 --> 01:49:58,160
Speaker 4: who they want, but I will say this, there's no

2522
01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:02,400
Speaker 4: question Pooton saving the brand as many times as he

2523
01:50:02,479 --> 01:50:04,280
Speaker 4: did this year is something ill Obviously it did not

2524
01:50:04,360 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 4: come close to doing. You've got to give him respect

2525
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:08,240
Speaker 4: and all those short notice fights and he took him

2526
01:50:08,280 --> 01:50:10,599
Speaker 4: banged up. Good for him that people are responding this way.

2527
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,280
Speaker 1: Good back to Connor McGregor quickly. This was his response

2528

Speaker 1: gonna be looking for is now.

2639
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,760
Speaker 4: Most of the time these fights take place in like

2640
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 4: the shitty seats through something.

2641
01:55:10,600 --> 01:55:14,520
Speaker 1: Mat Man, he caught five guys with that slap.

2642
01:55:15,000 --> 01:55:16,880
Speaker 4: Five guys, what was the five fingers?

2643
01:55:17,560 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 1: He catches the burger and fries and the three piece

2644
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:22,920
Speaker 1: coming up after him. He's fighting well now, but once

2645
01:55:22,960 --> 01:55:23,760
Speaker 1: it gets five.

2646
01:55:23,640 --> 01:55:25,960
Speaker 4: On one, Yeah, they start pounding. Oh wow.

2647
01:55:26,080 --> 01:55:27,680
Speaker 1: I mean they're hitting them in the gut, They're just

2648
01:55:27,760 --> 01:55:28,280
Speaker 1: hitting Yeah.

2649
01:55:28,360 --> 01:55:30,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean this was unwise. Also, why would you

2650
01:55:31,040 --> 01:55:32,360
Speaker 4: ever go to an NFL game?

2651
01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:36,840
Speaker 1: If you're out there, why would you would you ever

2653
01:55:38,200 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 4: Dude? I don't care what anybody says NFL hardcore fans, Yes,

2654
01:55:41,840 --> 01:55:46,880
Speaker 4: the only thing that separates them from prisoners is the

2655
01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 4: prison itself. I love.

2656
01:55:48,560 --> 01:55:50,880
Speaker 1: I know we like to point out Philadelphia as being

2657
01:55:51,200 --> 01:55:53,760
Speaker 1: maybe the roughest. I mean, New York Giants fans are rough,

2658
01:55:53,840 --> 01:55:56,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think it compares to LA, to California.

2659
01:55:56,520 --> 01:55:58,640
Speaker 4: Philly is mean. I don't know exactly if they're as

2660
01:55:58,720 --> 01:56:00,160
Speaker 4: bad as like LA what I feel like.

2661
01:56:00,560 --> 01:56:02,800
Speaker 1: I know Raiders aren't in California anymore, but it feels

2662
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 1: like the last few years, Raiders, Chargers, Rams like any

2663
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:06,440
Speaker 1: of those will just like.

2664
01:56:06,520 --> 01:56:09,240
Speaker 4: Also Dodgers too. Speaking of LA, like, yeah, you know what,

2665
01:56:09,520 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 4: dirt bags.

2666
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:13,200
Speaker 1: People in south southern California are ready to throw point.

Speaker 9: This is?

2685
01:56:58,680 --> 01:57:01,840
Speaker 4: This requires you to be uh mentally deficient in order

01:57:01,840 --> 01:57:03,680
