Speaker 4: Yes? Yes, just very excited for these fights. Man.

18
00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 5: I cannot wait to break it down with Petrie, curious

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 5: to see which way he goes.

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: Do you have like a gun on your hip right now?

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: Am I allowed to ask? I do not?

22
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 4: I do not?

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: Now's to deal with like concealed weapons permits in North Carolina?

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 4: You gotta get approved.

25
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 5: You got to do of course, you got to do

26
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 5: this whole amount of like paperwork in my particular county.

27
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 4: It's a pain in the ass, but I got it.

28
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 4: I got it.

29
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: Of course, you got it. Yeah, And you're not going

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: to reveal to us as to whether or not there

31
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: might be a pistol within arm's reach. But the answer

32
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: is probably so real quick. We talked to Daniel Cormier

33
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and I had probed him on

34
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Donald Serroni because oftentimes when commentators say things on a

35
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: podcast or on a YouTube channel, it gets repurposed and

36
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 1: it becomes news. And I had heard Donald Serroni suggests

37
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: that he wanted to come back and compete after using

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: steroids or other drugs. Right, But Daniel's comments obviously reverberated

39
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: with the MMA masses, and when we brought it up,

40
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: you weren't aware of it. So now that you're aware

41
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: of it, bro Like, once you openly say that you

42
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: have gone on these drugs to then get off of

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,959
Speaker 1: them and get back into the testing pool, I would

44
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: imagine for some competing athletes that would give them pause

45
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to sign the contract, even for a name as big

46
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: as Donald Cowboys Seroni. But promotionally, I would think that

47
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: would be a precedent. You're really not looking to set.

48
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: Unless they're on it as well.

49
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 5: Well, I'll say this, I think that it depends on

50
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 5: First of all, I guess what.

51
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 4: He was doing.

52
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: You know, is it like a series of steroids? Is

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 5: it ttosma replacement therapy? You know, how much time are

54
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 5: they going to give him to get off of it

55
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 5: all of that stuff?

56
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: You know? Will he be tested throughout camp and all

57
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: that process?

58
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 5: So I have a problem with it for just a

59
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 5: completely different reason in that you know, listen, if he's

60
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 5: being tested, everyone else is being tested. Okay, fine, because

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 5: other people have done it Connor all that stuff. Okay,

62
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 5: he will be and you know, DC, I think this

63
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 5: is what he was alluding to, is that people will

64
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,239
Speaker 5: accuse him of Hey, the reason you want is because

65
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 5: of this, and that will kind of open up criticism

66
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 5: to him for that. My issue is more than is

67
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 5: a little different, is that you are not going to

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 5: feel the same on it as opposed to off of it. So, yes,

69
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 5: he's probably feeling great right now, But if he goes

70
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,639
Speaker 5: off of all that stuff and decides to get into

71
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 5: a long training camp and go into fight, He's probably

72
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 5: not gonna feel the same.

73
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 4: So you know, he's had a great career. Man, I'd

74
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 4: love to see Donald hang it up.

75
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 2: Man.

76
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 5: He's accomplished a lot in this sport. But if he

77
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 5: wants to fight, yeah, he could fight. Let's do it

78
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 5: in a good way, in a legal way.

79
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 4: Yeah.

80
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: I just thought it was interesting, and certainly Dana White's

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: dismissive nature of those comments, I think we're a good thing,

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: even if maybe that wasn't exactly what was getting at.

83
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: So some interesting stuff there. UFC three toh eight beckins

84
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: here at a few days till Putia versus Holloway, and

85
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: when the fight card was first announced. I know there

86
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: were certain fights on this card Kenny, like seedle Gon

87
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: versus Alexander Volkov, and that's a fight that has since

88
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 1: been moved off of this card. But my gosh, man,

89
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: like I wasn't trying to sound hyperbolic when I suggested

90
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: the UFC three to eight was like the best fight

91
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: card I had ever been assigned, And at least when

92
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 1: it comes to like the last two fights of the night.

93
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: You can't stack a pay per view any better than

94
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: hamzat Chimaia Robert Whitaker leading into Iliati Putia Max Holloway,

95
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: a championship main event that some are suggesting is the

96
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: best fight single handedly we can put together.

97
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 5: Well, you know, from an energy standpoint, as a commentator

98
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 5: looking at this fight, uh, it's gonna be insane. You know,

99
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 5: anytime someone like Chimayev is on the card, it's going

100
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 5: to be special. And that's further compounded by some other

101
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 5: stars in Whittaker until Puri and Halloway. But from a

102
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 5: technical stan point, if you are a fan of the sport,

103
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 5: if you are a fighter currently involved in this sport,

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 5: the technical level that Tuopouri and Holloway are bringing to

105
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 5: the cage with all of their pedigree and everything they've accomplished,

106
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: is insane. This is about as high level as it gets.

107
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 5: Who is the best one hundred and forty five pounder

108
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 5: in the world. I don't know who that is right now,

109
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: but we're gonna find out on Saturday night.

110
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 4: And that's what makes this event so cool.

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: Very excited to finally get Ken Flow and Brian Preatrie's

112
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: predictions on all of the fights at UFC three to

113
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: oh eight, but chief among them, of course, Iliot Topoia

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: and Ramza Chimaya about minus two forty are so favored

115
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: against Max Holloway and Robert Whittaker, respectfully, I'd imagine a

116
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: lot of people are going to be attacking the board

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: in a lot of different ways, a lot of fights

118
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,440

159
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 3: a little bit icy, so it was good.

160
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 4: Yeah.

161
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: Cameron Smotherman, the short notice replacement who beat Jake Hadley,

162
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: was interesting. He was talking about when he got the

163
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: call from his manager as to whether or not he

164
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: could accept this short notice UFC fight, and so he

165
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: pulled a DC. Here's what he said. I'm not about

166
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: to let this chance go to waste, and so I

167
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: take a picture. I grabbed the wall and just gave

168
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: myself a little DC boost and took the picture of

169
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: my weight and sent it so showing us manager what

170
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: his weight is posting on the wall. A little bit

171
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: not a bad thought. Also, I would think a lot

172
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: of different ways, Kenny, to manipulate a scale when you

173
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: are not in the presence of the other individual. Shout

174
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: out to Mike Dulce, by the way, who would always

175
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: hawkeye that scale. I mean, things have changed when it

176
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: comes to these wagh Ins, right, But when his opponent

177
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 1: would weigh in right, because you would weigh in at

178
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: the same time as your opponent. A Dulce would hawkeye

179
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: that scale to make sure that people weren't getting away

180
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,239
Speaker 1: with a few wayward bounces. There all right, no pronunciation

181
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: of the week, which means we will get right to

182
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: our predictions. UFC three Tozho eight Tilpuria versus Holloway. We

183
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: have a featured prelim selection. Brian. We will begin with

184
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: you here in the welterweight division number ten. Jeff Neil

185
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: minus three ten half al dos Anjos plus two fits fifty.

186
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: So how about this fellas rather fittingly rda former lightweight

187
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: champion celebrating his fortieth birthday the night of UFC threeh

188
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: eight thirty six UFC appearance for the future Hall of

189
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: Famer here against Jeff Neil BP. Who do you like? Yeah?

190
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 3: Ah, it's an interesting fight, right because I think Jeff

191
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 3: Neil has this ceiling to be something special. He's just

192
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: a little inconsistent. I want it more for him in

193
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 3: the Gary fight, you know, and I think he has

194
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: a lot more. I know some of his early losses

195
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 3: were stuff outside the cage, maybe mental, but the guy's

196
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 3: got it. He really does really strong takedown defense as well,

197
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: and I think that's what RDA has to do to

198
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: win this fight. The problem is, I don't like RDA

199
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: at one seventy when he wants to be a grappler.

200
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 3: I think he's a little undersized. At one seventy one

201
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 3: he wants to grapple. I think his wrestling is very good,

202
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: but with the big guys at seventy, I think it's

203
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: a problem. I think he can bully ball people at

204
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 3: fifty five. At seventy, yeah, it pushes it for me.

205
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 3: And I think Jeff Neil, with his good takedown defence,

206
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 3: has the better striking. RDA can lay some really good

207
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: lay kicks. He's got a good number next to his name.

208
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: So if you want to take Haafio d'lfhaos and you

209
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: want to really cash in on your money, go for it.

210
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna take Jeff Neil and you better not

211
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: spell it with a J. It's a G. Maybe Jeff

212
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: Neil's gonna keep a G for this fight.

213
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like the Giraffic Toys r us where Kenny

214
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: and I grew up buying toys. Jeffrey like g Off

215
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: geo Ff Neil. He was seven and two in the

216
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: UFC can Flow after a win over Vicente Luk late

217
00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. Two straight losses, though, now have Jeff

218
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: Neil at a more pedestrian seven and four in the octagon,

219
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,720
Speaker 1: lost a split to Enmashadowgary. That was UFC two ninety

220
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: eight in Anaheim and now making his second start of

221
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: the year here in Abu Dhabi, and interestingly enough, it's

222
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: Neil's first fight outside of North America and just his

223
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: second fight outside of the US. Can flow your thoughts

224
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: on it if you would.

225
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 4: That's interesting, nice little tidbit there. Wondering how that affects him.

226
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 5: But you know, Jeff is a guy who's tough to

227
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 5: take down, and assuming he's healthy, I think this is

228
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 5: a pretty straightfall win for him. Not an easy fight,

229
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 5: but if it stays on the feet, I think Neil

230
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 5: should win. And RDA is an absolute legend, but Time

231
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 5: is undefeated. Of course, you mentioned he's going to be forty, and.

232
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 4: You know it's gonna be tough for him to utilize

233
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 4: that speed to get in and get out and also

234
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 4: to score takedowns. In my opinion, so I like Jeff

235
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 4: I like gee off here, nice all right.

236
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Pay per view main card opener in the middleweight division,

237
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: Shara Bullet, Magametta Monus one ninety two taken on armand Petrozian,

238
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: who is plus one sixty so brih you know the

239
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: rage that is Charo Bullet. He is three and zero

240
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: in the UFC right now, Bigure's to be a good test.

241
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: I think right here at this stage of his UFC career,

242
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 1: the Armenian muy Thai wrecking machine. Petrosian has some signature

243
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: wins right beat Gregory Rodriguez in his UFC debut, the

244
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: experience against Kyle Bohoalio. How competitive do we think this

245
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: pay per view opener is in the middleweight division, VP.

246
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 3: I think it's really competitive. You know. I was a

247
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 3: little lukewarm on Shara when he came here. He was

248
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 3: the rage. I saw my read it. Everyone loved him,

249
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 3: this one eyed pirate. He's coming to fucking you steal

250
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 3: all the gold. And he's done. He's done really well

251
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 3: in the UFC, I think, and he think he keeps

252
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 3: getting better. My only hiccup is really loading up on

253
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: him as he got taken down three times with Mahell

254
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 3: Holy Shashak and Uh and that worries me because that's

255
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: a striker, right and he got taken down three times

256
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 3: by him. But he has a really good kicking game.

257
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: His boxing game is is working self out as Cordio

258
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 3: has proven to be elite. And this is the where

259
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: he likes to fight Nambi Dabi. This is where he's

260
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 3: going to excel and pe Trojan. He's a guy that

261
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 3: really keeps his own pace. He likes to kick a

262
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 3: lot too. His boxing's a little kind of weak. He's

263
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 3: mixing grappling in there. He typically fights guys that want

264
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 3: to take him down. He's not gonna have that in

265
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: Shower here. So this could be interesting. It's gonna be

266
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Speaker 3: a good striking fight. I'm gonna be I'm gonna back

267
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: shower Bullet here at the number. I wish I could

268
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 3: get on the underdog side here, I can't.

269
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: I like shower Bullet, nicely done, Ken Flow shar bulletb

270
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: out a two to one favorite right now in Draft

271
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: Kings Sportsbook.

272
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 4: Your thoughts, Yeah, I'm with Brian.

273
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 5: I think this should be a striking fight, and I

274
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 5: think if either tries to utilize their grappling, I think

275
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 5: it's probably just gonna be null and void. I don't

276
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: see it really being that effective. Both are just not

277
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:10,840
Speaker 5: really known for that necessarily. Arman might be the slightly

278
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 5: better grappler.

279
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 4: But Mogo Metav just seems a little bit more fluid,

280
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: a little bit more loose on his feet, with a

281
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 4: little bit more weapons than Petrosian, and Patrollian is a

282
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 4: little bit more stiff, maybe has more power than Muggo Metoff,

283
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 4: But yeah, I like Mugo Metoff here as well.

284
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: All right. Next up, light heavyweight title eliminator to be sure,

285
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: Number two Magamed ankliab Monus four to ten, taken on

286
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 1: fifth ranked Alexandar Rakich, who is plus three twenty. So

287
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: Rakich hasn't won a fight ken Flow since he beat

288
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: Thiago Santos that was UFC two point fifty nine in

289
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Injury is a big reason why, of course,

290
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: But here he's a plus three twenty underdog trying to

291
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: avoid a third straight loss and taken on a Caliev

292
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: seemingly one went away from that elusive second title shot

293
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: and first crack at poets on ken foll lead us

294
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,839
Speaker 1: off with light heavyweight contenders. If you would be so

295
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: condent Eliath minus four to ten or Rockets plus three twenty.

296
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

297
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 5: I think Rockets is a very dangerous guy, especially early on.

298
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 5: He's very explosive, he's very fast, He certainly has knockout power,

299
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 5: has struggled with injuries as you mentioned, but just not

300
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 5: versatile enough in my opinion, to be able to deal

301
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 5: with someone like Uncleliav. Now, of course he could catch

302
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: Unclave early and then maybe, you know, win the fight early,

303
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 5: but I think Unclav is going to mix in his

304
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,880
Speaker 5: striking but mainly to look for a takedown put rackets

305
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 5: on his back.

306
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: That's when we've seen him most vulnerable.

307
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: Rockets is very athletic, He's good at getting back to

308
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 5: his feet at times. But I think Uncle Live's ability

309
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: to grind out of win is going to kind of

310
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: take place here.

311
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: So I like Unclelive.

312
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 1: Brian Unclive is nineteen one and one with a no

313
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 1: contest right. So he's won nineteen of twenty two pro fights,

314
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: but two of his last three have ended draw and

315
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: no contest. Last fight was impressive the finish of Johnny

316
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 1: Walker in January. Many believe on Calive to be the

317
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: class of this division at the very least a lot

318
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 1: of people think he would be the betting favorite against

319
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: Poets on first things first, your thoughts on how competitive

320
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: this one is against the also top five Alexander Rockets.

321
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 3: I tell you what for I calive who doesn't speak

322
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 3: English all that Well, he's talking a lot of good

323
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 3: shit out there is and he's putting his name out

324
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,960
Speaker 3: there right. You know, there's a lot of hyperbole. There's

325
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 3: a lot of talk when he got passed over because

326
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 3: he's a little bit boring.

327
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: You know.

328
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 3: I saw him fight live against JOm Beohovics. That was

329
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 3: not a great fight. Immediately after Yambohovich and Jamal Hill

330
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 3: fought in January for the title. You know, so there

331
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 3: are some things out there about calif. I think he's

332
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 3: a tremendous fighter. I think in the Yon fight he

333
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 3: got exposed a little bit. He got leg kicked up

334
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 3: a little bit, got his wheel taken off, and we

335
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 3: had a RELI on in his wrestling with Rockets, your

336
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 3: Rockets coming off an ugly loss of YEARI where he

337
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 3: got knocked around a little bit. I think this guy's

338
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 3: dangerous in this spot for an underdog. I also think

339
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 3: his taking on offense is very good. He's big for

340
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 3: the division. Is on Kalai that good of a grond

341
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,960
Speaker 3: to take him down and smother him. I don't know,

342
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 3: but if they play on the feet, which is uncle

343
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 3: iive is saying what he wants to do to Boeton,

344
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 3: and I think he's coming in here maybe looking past wreckage. Also,

345
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,480
Speaker 3: I think he's coming in here going, uh, you know,

346
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: I need to do something special to maybe get that

347
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: next shot to get my name out there. That's all

348
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: recipe for disaster. When you're putting a big number against

349
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 3: Alexandon Rackets, I'm gonna take it. I'm gonna take him right.

350
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: Here's a little dog shot over at I think here

351
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 3: you go.

352
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah.

353
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: I think Edgar Live is a good fighter, but I

354
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 3: think he might get hung up here because Rockets is

355
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: definitely not a stepping stone. I think he's gonna get

356
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: it done.

357
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: Very interesting, and that would be a quite the ladder

358
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: you'd have to get on to step on him. Right, Yeah,

359
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,479
Speaker 1: Rockets and a half. All right, featured bout at featherweight.

360
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: Right back to you, Brian Peatree. We got twelfth rank

361
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: Lerode Murphy minus one ninety eight taking out number fourteen

362
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: Dan Egay, who is plus one sixty four strongly encourage

363
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: all you folks to check out our interview with Danny

364
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 1: Gay live from Abu Dhabi earlier this week. I thought

365
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: his comments were particularly telling, especially when it comes to

366
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: Max Pless Holloway and their recent sparring sessions together. But

367
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,200
Speaker 1: on this fight, Manchester, England's Murphy Brye fourteen oh to one,

368
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: the near two to one favorite here shined in his

369
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: first UFC main event against it Barboza that was back

370
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 1: in May, and now going for his seventh straight UFC

371
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: win against the dog Danny Gay.

372
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 3: BP your thoughts, Yeah, my biggest knock on l Roa

373
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: Murphy was he just wasn't you know, he fought at

374
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: his own pace and people he lulled people in his

375
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 3: own pace. He's very technical fighter, but in the Barbozo

376
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 3: f he lean at two hundred twenty strikes. That's a

377
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 3: hell of a pace you know, to keep up, and

378
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 3: I think he technically he's got Dannye Gay beat. I

379
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 3: think Danny Gay is a dog in there. I mean

380
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 3: that guy's all dog, not like he's a sloppy fighter,

381
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: but he means I think Lron is just really tight.

382
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 3: I think Danny Gay is gonna need to turn this

383
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 3: into a little bit of an ugly fight here. Get in,

384
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,600
Speaker 3: get clenched up, beat him up inside, make it not

385
00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 3: so pretty. Because Lamaron Murphy at his own distance, at

386
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 3: his own pace, is a very dangerous fighter. I think

387
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: he's very underrated. If he fought a little more, I

388
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 3: think maybe this guy get talked about, take down the fence.

389
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 3: Great cardio, great striking, great does on the finishing numbers

390
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 3: I would like to but again, very good here. I

391
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 3: don't see him putting on Dan Negue. I like the

392
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: over in this fight, and if you make me pick

393
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 3: a winner, which is what we do here, I'm good

394
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: to go to Rona Murphy. But no disrespect to dany guy.

395
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: I saw the interview. I think he's a phenomenal person.

396
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 3: And again taking the fight on Diego Lopez, that's just

397
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 3: Mount Rushmore MMA stuff right there alone, so should be

398
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 3: a good scrap.

399
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kevi Full, I'm not sure much more needs to

400
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,439
Speaker 1: be said of what Danny G did and stepping up

401
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 1: against Diego Lopez at UFC three oh three, even though

402
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: I have said repeatedly like it's a real pain in

403
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: the ass for the featherweight for fellow contenders when you

404
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: have a guy locally who you know is going to

405
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,719
Speaker 1: step into that setting. But overall for Ega Kenny some

406
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,640
Speaker 1: uneven results. I guess since the Gavin Tucker knockout, which

407
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: was twenty twenty one. At that point he had won

408
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: six of seven, was on the cusp of legitimate contention.

409
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: He's lost five of his last eight. But what an

410
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: opportunity right to potentially take Murphy zoh and reestablish himself

411
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: here as a contender.

412
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, between you and Brian no lies detected,

413
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:01,560
Speaker 5: I think that you know, the only thing I would

414
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 5: say is that sometimes you get a win or you

415
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: have a performance even in loss that can kind of

416
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 5: rekindle that spirit and go, listen, I have a chance

417
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 5: to get back to a world class level. I have

418
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 5: a chance to kind of get back into you know whatever,

419
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,880
Speaker 5: to have an opportunity to challenge for the belt one

420
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 5: day and get on a streak. And you know the

421
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,360
Speaker 5: fact that he's you know, he had a knockout when

422
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 5: against Andre Feeley prior to that fight against Lopez where

423
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 5: he performed extremely well given the circumstances, And you know,

424
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: I think that Murphy is probably the more technical fighter

425
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 5: I think there's no question about it, and you can't

426
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 5: doubt that level of consistency. However, where I do have

427
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 5: a little bit of a doubt is just with the

428
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 5: level of competition, and Murphy did get touched up.

429
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 4: A little bit against Barbosa. You don't want to get

430
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 4: touched up too much against someone like Egay because I

431
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 4: do think in regards to the hands, he hits harder

432
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: than Barbosa.

433
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 5: So you know, Ega is underdog here. I think there's

434
00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 5: enough value for on him for me to go that way.

435
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 5: So I kind of like you ga here.

436
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm liking this main event challenge today. You boys

437
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: are marking on some underdoard. With that we get to

438
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: the co main event. I have been waiting months. Although,

439
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: did you guys pick this fight for Saudi Arabia. No,

440
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: it got canceled before five.

441
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't pick it never, So.

442
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have been waiting fucking months, all right, mom

443
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 1: co main event five rounds if needed in the UFC's

444
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: midleweight division. Not a main event in Saudi Arabia, but

445
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: a co headliner at Eddie Haderena in Abu Dhabi. The

446
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: twelfth rank contender still undefeated Kamzat bors chimayav monus two

447
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 1: twenty five taken on the third rank. Bry former champion

448
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: Robert the Reaper Whittaker, who is plus one eighty five

449
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 1: or so. I mean, these betting lines have been bouncing

450
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,160
Speaker 1: a little bit, but Whittaker at one point plus one

451
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: sixty four then almost at plus two hundred. I'm just

452
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: fascinated to see how it plays out. We know that

453
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,359
Speaker 1: Kamzat Chimaya went on when healthy really can. Man's a

454
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: lot of attention and he will do so this Saturday

455
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,720
Speaker 1: night or afternoon as well. Brian Petrie, we need a

456
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:08,440
Speaker 1: co main event prediction, not now but right now.

457
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the biggest question is what Hansan's going

458
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: to show up. I'm hoping this fight stays together because

459
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 3: Jamaiev is is electric to watch as a superstar. You

460
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,119
Speaker 3: see him wrestling with you know, Olympic gold medalists on

461
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 3: his Instagram. He's going rounds on them and they're scrambles

462
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 3: and they're nuts.

463
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:25,120
Speaker 4: Right.

464
00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: But the thing about Chamaiev is he's a five. He's

465
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 3: a fifth gear fighter, probably the best one round fighter

466
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 3: there is, right. But when you drop him down to

467
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 3: the fourth gear and the third gear he becomes human.

468
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: And the Kamara Rusman fight is a perfect example to

469
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,399
Speaker 3: give up Burns fights. Another example, if he doesn't blitch

470
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 3: you out of there in round one, he starts to

471
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: become human because he's almost superhuman in that first round. Yeah,

472
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 3: so strong and aggressive and he goes for and he

473
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 3: has submissions in his power. And you got Robert Whitaker

474
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 3: who doesn't really give up many takedowns, right, you know,

475
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,360
Speaker 3: Jogra Merrill's really the only guy who had kind of success,

476
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,360
Speaker 3: but he pop rates back up Bobby Knuckles. Robert Whittaker

477
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 3: is the dude, and he's talking a little bit this week.

478
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 3: He's saying, I'm knocking this dude out. I'm getting up,

479
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm stuffing. It's taking a punchm I like that. I

480
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:11,400
Speaker 3: like seeing that aggressive because Chamayav is just so nonchalot.

481
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 3: I smashed brother, I'm smashing everyone, brother, this dude. This

482
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 3: is a competitive, high level MA fight. And I'm so

483
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: excited to even bring it up, even talk about even

484
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,120
Speaker 3: watch it. But when I look down at the tape tape,

485
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 3: I think Chamaya might just have an extra gear. We're

486
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 3: going to see here. He looks in shape. He looks good,

487
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 3: and I think hev beats Bobby Knuckle. He has to

488
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 3: do it within round one, maybe first half of two,

489
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: and then you flip your bet and you lie bet

490
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 3: Bobby knucks. I think that's the way to play this

491
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,800
Speaker 3: fight here, like most chamayah fights. You know, I played

492
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 3: kamar usman uh third. After that first round, I said,

493
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 3: I think Usma is gonna be in this and I

494
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: almost one. It was a majority decision. So I think

495
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 3: after you played a chamaiya fight, I think after the

496
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: first round, if you survive, you maybe flip sides here,

497
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 3: but pre flop, pre fight, I think Tamaiev is a

498
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 3: special gminna go Chamaya.

499
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: Nicely done Kenthilow. Robert Whittaker on the other side, still

500
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,040
Speaker 1: just thirty three years of age, seventeen and five in

501
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: the UFC after maximizing that showcase against the short notice

502
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: replacement Ikramala Scarev in Saudi Arabia, and he just has

503
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: responded in kind right to that loss to drinkas duplus.

504
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 1: See that was not that long ago. UFC two to

505
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 1: ninety July of twenty twenty three. Couple straight wins now,

506
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: I have Whittaker on the custom of a potential rematch

507
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 1: with the South African but despite all of the recent success,

508
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: still a pretty heavily priced underdog here against Chimayev. Died

509
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: to know who you like in the komain can flow.

510
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, and I would bring up that DDP fight as

511
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 5: an example of Whittaker struggling off of his back, right,

512
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 5: I mean, because uh, you know, Dricas was was all

513
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 5: over him there and certainly hurt him on the feet

514
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 5: as well. But to me, Whittaker on his back actually

515
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 5: playing guard didn't look too great to me. If he's

516
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 5: on top, if he stopped the takedowns, he looks really good.

517
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 4: You know.

518
00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 5: How he does against Himaya, I'm not sure. I think

519
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,400
Speaker 5: that Whittaker is going to be the more well rounded striker,

520
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 5: the more dangerous guy overall. Maybe not the more powerful guy,

521
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 5: but I think he's the better striker for sure, and

522
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,119
Speaker 5: prove a commodity you know, in the later rounds, no

523
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,959
Speaker 5: question about that.

524
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:16,119
Speaker 4: Couldn't agree more. But I like this Jimaia who seems

525
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 4: extremely focused isolating himself from everybody and going out into

526
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 4: the mountains of Russia training hearted altitude training with high

527
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 4: level coaches like buvaisarsts wrestling coach. I mean, it doesn't

528
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 4: get much better than that. And and for me, I

529
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: think that you know, people criticized Jimaiah and they're like, yeah, man,

530
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 4: but look at Uzman. He did really good. Guys at Uzman.

531
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 4: He had the belt for a long time. He's kind

532
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 4: of a good fighter, and he's also a guy who's

533
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 4: a really good wrestler.

534
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,440
Speaker 5: And I went back and watched that fight, and yeah,

535
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 5: I mean the second round, I think Uzman probably won.

536
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,439
Speaker 5: That was really close. He didn't blow him out of

537
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 5: the water. It's not like he you know, whipped him up.

538
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 5: And the third round, you know, chimayav kind of went

539
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: back to doing what he was doing, you know, got

540
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 5: hit the takedowns when he needed to and won that fight.

541
00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,399
Speaker 5: I thought it was pretty clear. So you know, some

542
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 5: of the criticisms I don't think are really warranted. And

543
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 5: I feel like this is the one where we're really

544
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,719
Speaker 5: going to find out, though, how good Chimaya is.

545
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 4: And I believe he will probably succeed.

546
00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 5: I like Chimayav here I think is grappling most likely

547
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 5: most likely will be too much. I'm also a little

548
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 5: concerned with that lead hand of Whittaker being quite low

549
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 5: because Chimaiv has a pop in that right hand.

550
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: I love it, Ken Flow, and yes, I think with

551
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: respect to pass fights against Gilbert Burns and against Kamar

552
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: Usman and those past fighters. Right, We've often talked about

553
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Chimayev and his ability to make seventy long term and

554
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,200
Speaker 1: that's what This is the night upon which we find out.

555
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: Hopefully this fight stays together, right, because it didn't in

556
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: Saudi Arabia, right, but fighting a bona fide former champion

557
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,400
Speaker 1: in the division in which we know Haamzat Chimayev can

558
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: sustain weight cutting or weight making success, this is the

559
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 1: fight to find out if tom Zacchimaiv can get to

560
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: that precipice. And if he beats Robert Whitaker, you got

561
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: to think even if there's a weight, he will be

562
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 1: next for the championship. Speaking of championships, featherweight title on

563
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: the line, Iliotts Topotia minus two thirty eight Max Holloway

564
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: plus one ninety five, Ken Flow, We will lead with

565
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: you on this one. So Holloway was last the featherweight

566
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:22,439
Speaker 1: champion in twenty nineteen, since he last challenged for the

567
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: gold in this division, which was against Volkanovski USC two

568
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: seventy six and twenty twenty two. He's won three in

569
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: a row, last two by knockout, and now we see

570
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: Kenny what he has for the calm, cool, confident, collected Spaniard,

571
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: the champion Iliots Topotia make it his first title defense.

572
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: Here you challenge for the belt in this division, Kenny

573
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 1: Floory and your thoughts on the featherweight championship that is

574
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 1: now just days away.

575
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is uh one of the most amazing matchups

576
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 5: that we've had, I think in a very very long time.

577
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 5: This is as good as it gets when it comes

578
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 5: to high level mixed martial arts and can't wait man,

579
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 5: genuinely genuinely excited for this one.

580
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 4: Topouria.

581
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 5: First of all, this is a guy with snake like attacks,

582
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 5: the way that he coils up and kind of lulls

583
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 5: you into sleep, and then he shows his speed and

584
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:16,239
Speaker 5: those off rhythm attacks are extremely difficult to deal with,

585
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 5: especially as the fight moves on. He has shown an

586
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 5: intelligence that is far beyond his experience level. He has

587
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 5: showed a toughness and a maturity that is far beyond

588
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 5: his experience level, and he always seems to kind of

589
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 5: deliver exactly what he said he was going to do.

590
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 5: You know, we haven't seen this level of precision and

591
00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 5: prediction from a lot of people, you know, Connor McGregor

592
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 5: and his prime perhaps, but Topouria is something special, make

593
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 5: no mistake about it. And I think that he puts

594
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 5: on this character in a way to mask how good

595
00:27:57,320 --> 00:28:01,880
Speaker 5: of a technical fighter he really is. Everyone talks about

596
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,400
Speaker 5: Holloway's footwork, Well, there was a guy named Alexander Volkanowski

597
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 5: who defeated Halloway not once, but twice and did it

598
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,120
Speaker 5: with in my opinion, footwork three times. I'm sorry, oh

599
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 5: my goodness, three times, right, and did it with footwork.

600
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 5: Volkanowski has excellent footwork and he's got multiple tools in his.

601
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 1: Tool bet tool belt.

602
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 5: Tuporia took the right approach, he executed beautifully. First round

603
00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,360
Speaker 5: was very close, but I thought Volkanovski probably edged him out.

604
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 5: But the second round to Puria started to find his

605
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 5: mark and really settled in and landed a nasty combination.

606
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 5: His power is phenomenal. Let's go to Max Holloway, who

607
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 5: looked tremendous, tremendous against Justin Gaetchee. It was at one

608
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty five pounds. However, where I don't think

609
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 5: Max Holloway is cutting that much weight to get or

610
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 5: not as much at one fifty five.

611
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 4: But Holloway is huge for featherweight, so I think that's

612
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 4: kind of the question mark for me is how does

613
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: he perform at one hundred and forty five pounds. Now,

614
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,200
Speaker 4: Conditioning I don't think is going to be an issue.

615
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 5: Power might, his pacing might a little bit, but maybe not.

616
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 5: I mean, he's broken records at one hundred and forty

617
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 5: five pounds, so we shall see. It's my concern is

618
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:17,920
Speaker 5: going from one to fifty five to gain the weight

619
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 5: and then coming back to one forty five. That's where

620
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,800
Speaker 5: it can take its toll on you. So that's something

621
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 5: we need to remember. So let's see how it goes.

622
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: If there's one guy who could utilize his length, his skills,

623
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 5: his experience, his toughness to get it done, it is

624
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 5: Max Holloway. There's no question in my mind this guy

625
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 5: can pull off this fight. However, when you have momentum

626
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 5: and you have this guy in Toporia who seems to

627
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 5: be a genuine superstar who I don't think we've seen

628
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 5: more than fifty percent of his skills in the cage. Still,

629
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 5: I gotta go with Toporia here. I just think that

630
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 5: the weight cut for me is a question mark. And

631
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 5: when I see the general consensus of all the experts

632
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 5: out there going the way of Holloway, I'm gonna go.

633
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:05,040
Speaker 4: To the opposite. Dude.

634
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: I get it, man, I get it. I mean you

635
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: got to look far and wide to find people on

636
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 1: the favorite Ilia Topoitia, who's fifteen and oh seven to

637
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: zero in the UFC after he rested the belt rather emphatically,

638
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: by the way, from Alexander VOLKANOVSKYI UFC two ninety eight

639
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: earlier this year. I have trotted out this stat repeatedly.

640
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: Max Holloway has spent thirty seven point five percent of

641
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: his life on this UFC roster. I don't know if

642
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: that's a good thing or a bad thing. It certainly

643
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: offers up a backdrop of all the experience that he

644
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,400
Speaker 1: has accrued. But I think a lot of people recognize

645
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: just how special Ilya Topoitia is and could be. Brian

646
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: Petrie had a crunch time. We need to know who

647
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: leaves United Arab Emirates as the undisputed at the way

648
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 1: champion of the world.

649
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 3: I love this fight. This is one of my fights

650
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 3: I've been looking forward to all year. This has been

651
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: circled forever to Pouria's favorite Fighters, to Poria. This guy

652
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: loves himself from them, right, you know what I mean,

653
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 3: which I kind of like, Right, this dude is confident.

654
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:00,040
Speaker 4: He's all in.

655
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 3: It could be a bit, could be a gimmick, but

656
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 3: I'm in it. Like the guy's legit. You he has

657
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 3: what the kids called aura. Right after around one over Volkanoski,

658
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 3: which Volkanowski won that he did some fancy footwork. Toporio

659
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 3: is kind of sholling up, laying some shots himself, but

660
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 3: mostly showing up. But you I knew body language everything.

661
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, this dude's gonna fucking land. Yeah, he's

662
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: gonna courk something we just knew. Tibori is phenomenal and

663
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 3: this is the guy I predicted wrong. I'm I'm embarrassed

664
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 3: to admit, not embars because Bryce Mitchell is a very

665
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 3: good fighter. My pitt Bryce Mitchell to beat illerotal por

666
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 3: We all know how that showed up to Poria is great.

667
00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 1: He's great.

668
00:31:31,800 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: But MaTx Holloway is a special dude, is a guy

669
00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:36,720
Speaker 3: that I've grown to really love, and I love that

670
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 3: he's sparring again. I know it's not for everyone. No

671
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: fighters take time off, but I think since he's been sparring,

672
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 3: he's coming off two knockouts, one over Zombie, one over

673
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 3: Justin Gaigie. He's sitting down on punches a lot, and

674
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 3: that's what sparing does. There is a reason people spar

675
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: I get it, you want to save your brain cells

676
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: and all that, but there is a reason timing and

677
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 3: to find out what works against other people. And I

678
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 3: like that he's putting that back in his camp because

679
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 3: I think he's looked really, really good and the Gaechee

680
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: fight and all these shame does he look phenomenal. I

681
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 3: love Max at fifty five. I never thought we would

682
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 3: get this fight at forty five because I thought Max,

683
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: after losing three times with Volkanowski, would just stay at

684
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: fifty five. And I thought he looked great. You know,

685
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,200
Speaker 3: there's just some people out there that you can't beat.

686
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: He lost the Volkanoski three times. Matt Hughes lost to

687
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 3: Dennis Holman two or three times. Daniel Cormier couldn't get

688
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 3: past John Jones. John can't beat Jason there's just some things.

689
00:32:22,280 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 3: I have to throw that in there. I throw that

690
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:27,240
Speaker 3: in there. So there are just some people that just

691
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 3: can't get past certain people. But I think Max Holsey

692
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: a special guy, and I think his range and length

693
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 3: is going to be an issue here. Worried about the

694
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: lake kicks, and I'm worried about the grappling. We haven't

695
00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: really seen Max get grappled up much, and Taporia is

696
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 3: a hell of a grappler. He was tossing Bright's Mitchell

697
00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 3: Oh Country Strong all over the cage, and I think

698
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 3: if he takes Max all the way down, it's gonna

699
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: be interesting here because we haven't really seen Max play

700
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: that game yet. On the feet, Taporia a little bit

701
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 3: smaller but way more powerful. And I think Max is

702
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 3: gonna have to figure out the game plan. And I

703
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 3: think his camp, his team as coaches, they're great at

704
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 3: coming up with what works. So I'm gonna take Max.

705
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 3: I was gonna literally had nothing writting that written down.

706
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 3: I was gonna go opposite Kenny. I'm such on the

707
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:09,160
Speaker 3: fence of this fight. Yeah, but I'm fifty to fifty,

708
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 3: So if Kenny went the other way, I went the

709
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 3: other way. I'm gonna go Max Holloway. Uh, blessed baby.

710
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 3: It is what it is.

711
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 1: You guys hit on a lot of interesting themes, the

712
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: sparring component and then just the good weight that Max

713
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: Holloway seemed to put on for the Justin Gaetschee fight.

714
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:27,719
Speaker 1: As Kenny was referencing right to all of a sudden

715
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 1: have to lose that muscle mass and sort of pivot.

716
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was his necessarily expectation that

717
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: that his next fight was going to be at forty

718
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 1: five after the BMF belt win over Gateschee. All right,

719
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: let me update the standings if I could UFC fight

720
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,240

Speaker 5: Whoa dude, I'm gonna be very very excited for this,

759
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 5: all right. Okay, So I got a little fancy. Typically

760
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,239
Speaker 5: when Ken Flow gets a little fancy, it doesn't go well.

761
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 4: So let's let's see what happens. All right. We got

762
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,879
Speaker 4: a few parlays here. Let's do the parlay two hundred

763
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:49,440
Speaker 4: and fifty.

764
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 5: Bucks Neil on Caliv and Shara Bullet okay. And then

765
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 5: our next parlay is another two hundred and fifty bucks

766
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 5: for Neil Chimayev and Tolporia okay. And then we got

767
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 5: too fifty on Chimayev straight yep, yep.

768
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 4: A thousand on Tolporia.

769
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,239
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars straight wager on toe Portio, which leaves you

770
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 1: with two hundred and fifty dollars.

771
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,800
Speaker 4: Left correct and I'm going to hedge with Holloway.

772
