8
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: by the way, was so promising up until the main

Speaker 1: and comine. Huh, it was looking pretty fun. It was

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: pretty fun. It was actually pretty excellent. But everything got

22
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: I can't believe you have to do spoiler warnings for

23
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: you know, postfight stuff. I can't either. I can't either,

24
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 1: And yet if I don't, people complained. It's really one

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 1: of the amazing mysteries of life, like why people would

26
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: do that, or why people would like buy NFTs as

27
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: an obvious fucking scam. But they did, but they did,

28
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: you know? So anyway, all right, neither here nor there.

29
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: Let's get to the show and let's figure all this out.

30
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: We have a lot to get to here. Let's get

31
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: this party started, shall we. Hey, all right, let's take

32
00:01:54,520 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 1: this off. Let's take that off. Okay, what a fucking nightmare?

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: Good lord? I mean that card, right, you have see

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: two eighty two in the books, that card through ten

35
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: fights was on fire. Amazing prelimbs. I think it's pretty

36
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 1: fair to say, amazing pre limbs. We'll talk about it,

37
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: of course, to Pouria and Bryce Mitchell, fire Drinkis Duplessy

38
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: and Darren Hill, good fight for sure, definitely, even Santiago ponzinibbio, right,

39
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: rallying from a sure defeat and then this bullshit. All right,

40
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: nothing to it but to do it. Let's get to it.

41
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 1: Let's pull the results up, shall we who? Okay, UFC

42
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: two eighty two Blohovich versus On Calaia took place, of course,

43
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: at the Team Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, and

44
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: your main event, Jan Blohovich and Maga mat On Caliev.

45
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: There is no winner. There is no winner. Can you

46
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,959
Speaker 1: believe it? It might sound impossible, but it's really true.

47
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: You have a split draw. I'm gonna pull up the

48
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: scorecards here because it's amazing. Okay, let's pull up the

49
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: scorecards here for the main event. Still waiting on that

50
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: from ESPN. Excuse me from UFC to upload, but it

51
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 1: was forty excuse let me pull up your my own notes.

52
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I apologize. I'm just sort of in a

53
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: state of shock based on how the judging went tonight.

54
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: But be that as it may. Okay, forty eight forty

55
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: seven Blohovich, which is understandable. Forty eight forty six on Caliev,

56
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: which I don't really agree with either, but I agree

57
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: that he was the right guy to win. I don't

58
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: really agree that forty eight to forty six is doable.

59
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: And then this fucking gem of a card forty seven

60
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: forty seven. So what does that mean. That means it's

61
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: a split draw. That means no one wins, no one loses.

62
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,039
Speaker 1: It is just a draw. There's nothing else you can

63
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: do about it, and there is still no UFC light

64
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: heavyweight champion. After the fight, Yan Belhovitch is interviewed by

65
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: Joe Rogan. You know he He says, I don't know

66
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: if I lost it, but I definitely didn't win it.

67
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: And magavon on Caliev incensed that he didn't win, and

68
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,600
Speaker 1: even Joan Belohovich, the gentleman and the scholar that he is,

69
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: walked over during on Caliav's post fight interview and said

70
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: give him the belt, which I think is right. I

71
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: don't know what the UFC is going to do about

72
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: a fight with Glover Tashera. I suspect that they will probably,

73
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I don't know the answer

74
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: to this, but I'm gonna guess that maybe they just

75
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: send on Caliav to go fight Glover at some point

76
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three, right probably in Brazil. Maybe we'll see.

77
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 1: I don't know, but I don't know what the hell

78
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna do here, because the whole idea was that

79
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: this was going to crown the vacant championship and that

80
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: Glover would get first DIBs on the winner. What, we

81
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: don't have a winner, So do you run it back?

82
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 1: Is there an appetite for people to have it run back?

83
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: It wasn't a bad fight, but it wasn't a particularly

84
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 1: memorable or otherwise super interesting one. I mean, it got

85
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: there was it was a It was a fine fight.

86
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with the fight. But I don't know

87
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: that there's like a ton of interest in folks seeing

88
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 1: a second one, especially because once on Kalia fought in

89
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: the way that he was supposed to fighting basically the

90
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: entire time. You know, Blhovich didn't really have much of

91
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: an answer for it. So maybe they'll do that and

92
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: poor Glover has to wait longer. I don't know. Maybe

93
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: they won't do that, and maybe they'll just send Blakhovich

94
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: down to fight Glover or I really, I truly, I

95
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: mean any as possible here. Your guess is as good

96
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: as mine, seems to me, like what they'll probably do

97
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: is probably put on Calive against Glover to Shia, But

98
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: there's really no way of knowing. The fight itself is

99
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: fairly understandable. I gave on Caliav the first round, but

100
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: it was a close one, and for sure the second

101
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:25,119
Speaker 1: and third rounds belonged to Wolhovic. Really the story of

102
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: his best parts of the fight, where his leg kicking

103
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 1: were just absolutely phenomenal and even when he checked it

104
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: was causing trouble. But the leg kicking was a really,

105
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: really really big problem for on Calive. He didn't have

106
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: much of an answer for it. He was trying to

107
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: switch stance, I should say, didn't have much of an

108
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: answer for it at first. He was trying to switch

109
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 1: stance but really not putting enough pressure on Vohovich to

110
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: get him moving backwards. But what he eventually realized was

111
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: if he could actually do that but like put genuine

112
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,159
Speaker 1: like make the guy leave his feet as he is

113
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: to retreat, then he couldn't really settle for the takedown. Right.

114
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: It's the same kind of thing that they would do

115
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: to to Edson Barboza or what fad Or did to

116
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: crow Cop Right, push them on their heels enough that

117
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,880
Speaker 1: they can't kind of sit and throw in order to

118
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: really do anything meaningful with any kind of kicking. In

119
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: this particular case, leg kicking and then also he was

120
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 1: able to get the takedown and once he got the

121
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: takedowns in rounds four and five, and he may have

122
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,360
Speaker 1: gotten one a round three at some point I don't

123
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: really remember. But once he got the takedowns in round

124
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: four and five, it was a rap. He was on top.

125
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: We're talking about Uncle I have. He had very good

126
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: ground and pound, he had good control, he had good

127
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: wrist capture. He would try a little bit in the

128
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: fifth round to do some positional advancement, nothing too significant.

129
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I thought Uncle Iive would win

130
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: this fight. I thought he did win this fight. I

131
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: thought he'd deserved to win this fight. Again, I think

132
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: these scorecards are really quite remarkable. The ones in the

133
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: main event are not horrific. They're not horrific. But I

134
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: don't really agree with the idea, even as much of

135
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: an on CALLI have. I don't know what was the

136
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: word supporter. I'm not really a fan of the guy.

137
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't hate him either. I'm just saying I'm not

138
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 1: in that space. But I don't really agree round fives

139
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 1: a ten eight, especially like all the other rounds that

140
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: become ten eights that they don't turn into ten eights

141
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: now that they commissions have kind of retreated from that

142
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 1: norm under previous crime, under previous applications of the criteria maybe,

143
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 1: but more recently they've been withdrawing from it. And even

144
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: then even then, I listen, it was a clear ten nine.

145
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: I mean on Cali have did a great job as

146
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: aforementioned with the wrist capture and really kind of unloading there.

147
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: But even with that, I just don't really it has

148
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: it has some of the ingredients, it's got the duration.

149
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: It definitely had some damage, but I didn't think the

150
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: damage was overwhelming and it had duration. So you had

151
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: some of the pieces of the puzzle in there for

152
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: a ten eight, but to me, not really enough of

153
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: the damage. Quotion is good damage, but not ten eight damage. Still.

154
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: I guess two of the judges, I actually yes, two

155
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: of the judges did that. That gets you the forty

156
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: eight forty six, And I guess the as I was

157
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: trying to noodle how you got forty seven forty seven,

158
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 1: the answer would be you go thirty twenty seven on Belkovich,

159
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 1: so he gets the first three. On Kalaia takes the

160
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,720
Speaker 1: last two, but he takes the fifth round ten eight.

161
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: So that makes it thirty twenty seven adding into basically

162
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: a seventeen twenty, and that gets you forty seven forty seven.

163
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: That's how you do it. Yeah, that's a mess, man,

164
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: that's a real mess. Let's look up some of the

165
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 1: stats on this one. I'm I'm really kind of shocked

166
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 1: by the whole thing. All right, let's pull this up

167
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: here at get the stats for the split draw not

168
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: a ton of offense in terms of what meaningfully landed

169
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: with significant strikes. Macamon On Kalai of seventy eight significant

170
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: strikes out of an attempted total, which means when I

171
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: say total strikes, I mean significant and otherwise, of three

172
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: hundred and twelve he landed total strikes one one significant

173
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: seventy eight. Blahovich much less, one fifty one total strikes,

174
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 1: seventy nine of which landed, fifty five of which were significant.

175
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: On Klai of getting two of ten takedowns with the

176
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 1: control time of eleven twenty when he was trying to

177
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 1: go for those half assed takedowns after getting his Nietzsche

178
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: or his leg chopped, they weren't that great along the fence.

179
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: I'll say this too, I think that Blakhovich has like

180
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: good takedown defence along the fence line you pull him

181
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: off of that, it's not really the same. Again, when

182
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: on Kalif could overrun position and pull the leg in

183
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the octagon, he had much better results

184
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: as a consequence. So let's look at round one here

185
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: very quickly, on Kalaia modestly outlanding Blovitch. Again, these are

186
00:10:55,679 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: numeric totals, they are not qualitative totals, but nineteen to

187
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 1: fourteen for on Caliev. Round two was a bloodbath for him.

188
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 1: It was twenty three to thirteen four Blahovich round three

189
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: roughly equivalent. But again I still thought that was Yhon's

190
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: round seventeen to eighteen. And then round four Maga mat

191
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: On Calif to Blohovich ten to one. And how about

192
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: this in round five? Yeah, maybe this is why because

193
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 1: he never got a significant strike off, although he did

194
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: land thirteen to fifteen total strikes eighteen to zero in

195
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: round five. I guess I can sort of under I'd

196
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: have to go back and watch. My initial inclination when

197
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 1: I watched at first was at round five being a

198
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 1: ten eight was an exaggeration, but I suppose there might

199
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:43,559
Speaker 1: be a case for that. Upon review, let me see here. Yeah,

200
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: upon review that perhaps there's a different view of things.

201
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: Like I said, man, not really the most interesting fight.

202
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: The stat going into it, which we talked about on

203
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: MK and which I repeated on Twitter tonight, was heading

204
00:11:56,920 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 1: into this contest. In fights in the UFC Blohovich had

205
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: had where the opponent never landed a takedown, not even one.

206
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: His record in those fights for Blohovich was eleven and one,

207
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. In fights where the opponent got at least

208
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: one takedown, he was two and five. So now you

209
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: can say he's two five and one. And what you

210
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: could also say is we're still in a place where

211
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: as long as an opponent has gotten at least one

212
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: takedown on him. No, you can't quite say that exactly,

213
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: that's not quite true, but you get the idea. He

214
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: had a hard time. He's just not very offensively dynamic

215
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: from his back. Like Blahovic is very good with his

216
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: defense standing along the fence. He has some decent league

217
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: okay down blocking out in space, but once you get

218
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: him on his back, he kind of just locks up

219
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: full guard and rides out the round or puts up

220
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: an the shield to prevent half guard passing. He doesn't

221
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: really have much of a threat underneath, and he was

222
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: throwing some strikes underneath. I don't know how valuable they were, right,

223
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: but like that's that was the insight there. It's like

224
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: you can tell that when you take this guy down,

225
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,559
Speaker 1: he is much more beatable by virtue of historic performance.

226
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: And then what does the tape tell tell you? The

227
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: tape tells you that he just doesn't have much of

228
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: an active guard game from those positions, and on Caliv

229
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,079
Speaker 1: has very good ground and pound and some passing a

230
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: little bit anyway, So that's the story of the fight.

231
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: It's a goddamn disaster, you know, in many ways that

232
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 1: Jesus here we are. Let's look at the targeting, Yeah,

233
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: who targeting Blahovich. Forty five percent of his strikes were

234
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: to the leg forty five that's the highest among all

235
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 1: of them. So he went twenty percent to the body,

236
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: thirty four percent of the head, forty five percent of

237
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: the leg. Goddamn for on Cali have sixty two, twenty

238
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: four percent and twelve percent. And I'll tell you what

239
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 1: about on Cale If he was a guy that I

240
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: had thought was kind of inevitable when this whole thing

241
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: got going, like, yeah, he had the issue with Paul

242
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: Craig for his debut, but since then, man, he's been

243
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: mostly just rolling downhill. Now. He did have the fight

244
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: against Tiago Santos, which was not great. He's had some

245
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: other ones that were a little bit ho hum or

246
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: weirdly resolved. Even the Anthony Smith fight that happened. He

247
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 1: was doing well, obviously, but it's just a weird how

248
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: it ended. So you kind of wanted to dial back

249
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 1: maybe some of the more, you know, promising projections about

250
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 1: how good he would be. But I really thought this

251
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: guy was kind of like inevitable. I will tell you

252
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 1: what's interesting. Between the Santos fight and what his coaches did.

253
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 1: You see the cornering and the corners of on Caliav.

254
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: I should say the corner, but the corner of advice

255
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: he was getting on Caliv. His coach was incensed. He

256
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: was like, he didn't say it exactly like this, but

257
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: he basically was like, what the fuck are you doing?

258
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: Like why are you standing in front of this This

259
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: is like after round three, It's like, why are you

260
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: standing in front of this guy and fucking brawling with him?

261
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: Take him down? He's like, you could take him down

262
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: in five seconds and dude within in round four he

263
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: had him down with three minutes left, but had closed

264
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: the distance with thirty seconds into the first into the frame.

265
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: So we're at like four thirty of round four on

266
00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 1: Calive's already pressing Blovich against the fence, and then about

267
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: ninety seconds later he gets the takedown right, but never

268
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 1: loses control right, just sort of goes from there and

269
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: then eventually gets him down. And then in round five

270
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: I think he had kind of tripped along the way.

271
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: But the point being was, you know, by putting this

272
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: kind of pressure where Blokhovich can't keep his balance under him, on,

273
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: Caliv gets on top within fifteen motherfucking seconds of the round,

274
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 1: and maybe there were some other kind of injury issue

275
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: involved there. It's hard to say, obviously at one thirty

276
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: in the morning, with any great specificity about it, but

277
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: you could see why his corner was like, dude, what

278
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: are you doing? What the fuck are you doing? Go

279
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 1: take him down? Uh? And he eventually did, and he

280
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: did it too late. So on one level, I did

281
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: not think the judging was particularly great this time out

282
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: at all. We'll talk, We're gonna obviously we're gonna spend

283
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: some time on the Patty pimblet one. I didn't think

284
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: it was great here because I think that, as mentioned

285
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: in the tenet, i'd have to go back and double check,

286
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,360
Speaker 1: but it didn't occur to me as that being a

287
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: very clear ten eight beforehand. And then on Calaia of

288
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: not getting any of the first three rounds, I will

289
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: say that on top of the bet the suspect or

290
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 1: just really, what do you want to call it? Unsatisfying

291
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: judging in this main event, I will say on Klaia

292
00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: fucking around and waiting until the championship rounds basically to

293
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 1: start wrestling, he he screwed himself a little bit. He

294
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: screwed himself a little bit, right. I'm not saying that

295
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: that like otherwise justifies the judging decision or any particular

296
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: scorecard you may or may not like. What I am

297
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: saying is if it didn't have to be this way

298
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: by virtue of how much better his wrestling and top

299
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: game is, why the fuck did he wait until it

300
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 1: was the sixteenth minute of the fight to start doing that.

301
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: That's the part that gets me listen to this on

302
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: the control time, right, So let's go to control time

303
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: here in rounds four and five. So in rounds four

304
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: and five, those are the only times he got to

305
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: take down. He got a takedown, and he attempted zero

306
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,240
Speaker 1: in round one. Didn't even fucking attempt one in round one,

307
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: That's what I mean. He attempted two in round two,

308
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: he attempted five in round three, got one of them,

309
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 1: but only and had a minute and twist six seconds

310
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: of control time. Although partly that's also getting pressed against

311
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: the fence. But you could see him getting increasingly more desperate.

312
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: But those were mostly like not those were not hardcore

313
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 1: get him off balance, run him off the single leg.

314
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: Those were like press him into the fence and see

315
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: if you can squeeze a double and if not, come

316
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: back up for air and then try again later. Like

317
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: not full throated efforts. By the time he actually switch

318
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:05,000
Speaker 1: to that four minutes and thirty two seconds of control

319
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: time in round number four and again in round five,

320
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: there was a lot of Yaan being stumbling through, but

321
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 1: again it was on Klaiav collapsing his position through pressure

322
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 1: like that played a role there as well. Four minutes

323
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: and fifty seconds of control time. You just got to

324
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: be like, dude, what were you thinking, What were you thinking?

325
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: What were you thinking? Like, I don't want to wrestle

326
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: for twenty five minutes. This is a better alternative. Uh,

327
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:39,399
Speaker 1: hard for me to believe that. So I didn't again

328
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 1: take whatever reasonable issue you want with again, I'm gonna

329
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: call it unsatisfying judging in this main event fine again

330
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: a promotional headache for the UFC where they can't put

331
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: a belt on a guy. That's a problem. And the

332
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,800
Speaker 1: fight itself was fine to maybe even good, but not remarkable.

333
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: And it just and this was the last UFC pay

334
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 1: per view of the year. You know, it ends on

335
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: a split draw. The UFC pay per view experience of

336
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two ends on a split draw. There was

337
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: some debate online this week about like, was this the

338
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 1: worst year in UFC history, Which is a very silly

339
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: question if you've been watching UFC long enough. Yes, this

340
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: was not its best year, I don't think by a mile.

341
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: But it wasn't a bad year A and B dog,

342
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: I've seen some bad years. This ain't like we're not

343
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: even bordering on that. So no, And by the way,

344
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: even like relative how much easier it is to get

345
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 1: MMA and how much better the fights arerow just in general,

346
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Like you compare that to like two thousand or two

347
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 1: thousand and one, they're barely even the same sport. Anyway,

348
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm kind of rambling here a bit of on a tangent.

349
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,199
Speaker 1: But to end the year on this, or to end

350
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: the pay per view year, certainly on this. Let me

351
00:19:53,800 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: look at the let me see something here real quick think,

352
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: So Kennedy or versus Strickland will be December seventeenth, Yeah,

353
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: and then that's it for the year. So they got

354
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: one more this year and then that's it. One more

355
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: and then that's it. So to end the pay per

356
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: view year on this was Jesus deeply unsatisfying for Yan Blohovich.

357
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 1: He looked amazing on the feet, his leg excuse me,

358
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: his his his checking and leg kicking game are some

359
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: of the best we've ever seen a light heavyweight. Truly,

360
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 1: I mean that some of the best in the UFC. Again,

361
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: in terms of checking kicks, I think he's arguably the best.

362
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: You know, you know, potatoes obviously gonna have something to

363
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,479
Speaker 1: say about that. But to this point, like the body

364
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: of work that Blahovich has put in on that level

365
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: has been very, very commendable, Like there was a lot

366
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 1: that went right for him. I think on Koliev is

367
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: going to want some of the judgment calls he made

368
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 1: back on this one. Again, not to take away to

369
00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 1: say that Blohovich didn't do a good job with some

370
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: of the takedown defense through the first three rounds. I

371
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: think that's true, But I also don't think on Calia

372
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: was really trying all that hard with those as I

373
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: previously indicated. It wasn't until he really like kind of

374
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 1: needed it before he did, and that was too little,

375
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 1: too late. With the judges that they had tonight, it

376
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna go his way, unfortunately, it seems. And here

377
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: we are, did you lose? Did you learn anything new

378
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: about Mecca men on Calio? Let me think that through

379
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 1: did you learn anything new? Not really you did. You

380
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: did see him physically tested and he answered that. I

381
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: think for the most part, I thought he was quite resilient.

382
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 1: Had to take a shit ton of damage. His legs

383
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,679
Speaker 1: are gonna be a mess tomorrow. I hope he's not

384
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: planning on getting any flight because that's gonna be tough.

385
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,919
Speaker 1: Some fight I Q issues in this one. Maybe, to

386
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, he's a guy who up

387
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 1: to this point had made some pretty good decisions, but

388
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: not really like meaningfully like tenaciously getting after the takedown

389
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: and all the different ways you could get it, you know,

390
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: switching from doubles to singles and chaining takedowns together and

391
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: running him backwards and off balancing him, which is like

392
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 1: you know again, watch what Habib does along the fence.

393
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: You rarely see Habib press into a guy and keep

394
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: him pressed there unless the guy is truly flat. What

395
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 1: he's usually doing is he's running and changing directions on

396
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: the guy, running him backwards. They stop, he changes and

397
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: runs them the other direction. Or what he'll do is

398
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: he'll pick up a leg. And as I've talked about

399
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 1: this a million times, the numbering Comados are famous for this.

400
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: They like to grab the single and then run you around,

401
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: either pull you or to push you because it forces

402
00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:41,679
Speaker 1: you to balance on that second leg. And once they do,

403
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 1: they can chop the post out, they can trip, they

404
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: can in certain ways. They can take the lock on

405
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: one of it and then slide it up, believe it

406
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: or not, and you can get the double that way.

407
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things you can do. So when

408
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 1: he got he got a little lucky in the fifth,

409
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 1: but when he got to some of that in the fourth,

410
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 1: you know, it just came a lot easier. He's gonna

411
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:04,880
Speaker 1: want the decision making back on this one. I think

412
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: from uncle, I have some fight i Q questions here.

413
00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: I think involved with him based on how he handled

414
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: the first three rounds. Again, someone's gonna hear that and go, oh,

415
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 1: you're absolving the judges. I am not absolving the judges.

416
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 1: I am not. What I'm saying is if you him

417
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 1: not being awarded, the fight draws it into like stark relief.

418
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: But I just don't know how you can argue again,

419
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: not that he would have gotten it every single time

420
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 1: within the first three rounds, but like, did he make

421
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 1: a full throated wrestling effort in the first three rounds

422
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 1: based on what we learned in the last two, you

423
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: just really can't argue that, not very effectively. And so

424
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: as a consequence, here we are, let me see if

425
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 1: we got an update on the let me see on

426
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: the scorecards, and then we'll move to the Comaine. Yeah,

427
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 1: here we go. All right, let's read this to you here.

428
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: Judge Mike Bell gave the first three rounds to Blahovich,

429
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 1: gave the second two rounds to on Kalia forty eight

430
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: forty seven Blakhovich. I think that's a reasonable scorecard. Judge

431
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 1: Derek clearly gave rounds one and two to Blahovich, rounds

432
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,479
Speaker 1: three and four to Onklive, so we had a two

433
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: two going into the fifth, and he gave round five

434
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: to Onkliev ten eight, and so that gives you the

435
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: forty eight forty six. Saldiamato had rounds one, two and

436
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: three for Blahovich and rounds four and five for on Kaliev,

437
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: but then had as we indicated, the fifth round ten eight.

438
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 1: So there you go. Those are the scorecards. That's how

439
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: they did it. Make whatever issue you want of it.

440
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: Don't really know what else to say. Now, let's talk

441
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: about that comin event, shall we. Let's talk about the

442
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: co main event. Let's talk about the fucking co main event. Okay, Well,

443
00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: this is a mess. Patty Pimblet defeats Jared Gordon via

444
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: unanimous decision twenty nine to twenty eight, twenty nine, twenty eight,

445
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:24,760
Speaker 1: and twenty nine twenty eight. The scorecards are as follows.

446
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: For this one, Ron McCarthy gives rounds one and two

447
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: to Patty at, which is like, blows my fucking mind.

448
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 1: Round three to Jared Gordon, which is also somewhat surprising,

449
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: which I'll talk about just a second. So there's your

450
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: twenty nine to twenty eight. Chris Lee gives round one

451
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: to Jared Gordon, fucking obviously gives rounds two and three

452
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,879
Speaker 1: to Patty, which I don't think is the end of

453
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: the world. Hear me out in just a second, But

454
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,959
Speaker 1: that's how you get a scorecard for Patty Pimblet in

455
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 1: that case of the three, that's the most defensible by far, like,

456
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: that's the one that you can look at. And fucking

457
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Doug Crosby, what a winner. This guy is fresh off

458
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: of a This fucking guy was at the Mohegan Sun

459
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 1: last night and had a fifty forty five Danny Sabatelo card.

460
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 1: That alone, that alone should have been disqualifying to work today.

461
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: But it's Nevada the Commission that wants to tell you

462
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,719
Speaker 1: it's the best and most important in the United States,

463
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: potentially even the world, and is consistently one of the

464
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 1: fucking worst. Consistently zero transparency with the public, zero zero.

465
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: Everything that they let you see is just for enough

466
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: to shut you up. That you don't complain that like

467
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: the totality of their operations happened in secret. And by

468
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: the way, we're in favor, ready for this one in favor,

469
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: some of their members were in speaking about it of

470
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: pers numbers for fighters not being made public. Let's say

471
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 1: it one more time. Why do you want person numbers

472
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: to be public? Because that, among other things, but certainly

473
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: in terms of making it public is and sometimes is

474
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 1: the only information fighters have about what their peers are making,

475
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: which enables them to negotiate more. And they were okay

476
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: with the promoter lobbying the state legislature to not have

477
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,919
Speaker 1: them go public. Imagine that. I'm going to say it

478
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: one more time. Why were athletic commissions created? They were

479
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: created in the early part, early to mid parts for

480
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: the most part of the twentieth century as a way

481
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: to like obviously help clean up and regulate boxing, in

482
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: part by making sure the promoter had the money that

483
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: they said he did in order to pay in order

484
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:56,119
Speaker 1: to make sure that the fights were reasonably competitive. They

485
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,360
Speaker 1: could overlook the card and everything else and to get

486
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: rid of some of the cd underbelly of gambling that

487
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 1: was happening that the commission served that role. That's why

488
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: they're there. They're there to protect the sport, and they're

489
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: there to protect the health and safety of the athletes,

490
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 1: and they fucking don't. There are some good commissions. They

491
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: make mistakes too, But I think California is pretty good.

492
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 1: New Jersey, I think is pretty good. There's some other

493
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: ones out there. I think Colorado's certainly making a name

494
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: for itself. Maybe you have something to say about Kansas.

495
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: There's some other ones out there that are trying, but

496
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: the vast majority of them and make not one mistake

497
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 1: about it. Nevada doesn't give a fuck what you think,

498
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: doesn't give a fuck what I think, doesn't care what

499
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: anybody thinks unless it results in bad press for them.

500
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: Same commission that wanted to throw Nick Diaz into not

501
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: literal jail, but career jail and then chuck the key away,

502
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: same fucking commission as them, Same commission as them, and

503
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: only when it was massive public backlash, including from the

504
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 1: governor at the time, did they ultimately realize the error

505
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: of their ways. These are not smart people, and these

506
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: are not great decision makers, and they have so much

507
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 1: say over the sport they that these the goof troop

508
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. Can't get it right if their life

509
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: depended on it. Fresh off a fifty to forty five scorecard,

510
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: They're like, here you go, co main event roll, I mean,

511
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: what what the fuck are you thinking? What are you thinking?

512
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: What is the justification for that? An all time not

513
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 1: just a bad scorecard, a whopper of a bad scorecard,

514
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 1: one that will go down in history as like a

515
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: whoa what that kind of a scorecard? And they were like,

516
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: get your ass on a plane, we need you to

517
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:51,160
Speaker 1: judge this important comin event for the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

518
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:52,959
Speaker 1: And he was like right away, I mean, I'm sure

519
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 1: it was planned more in advance. I'm doing a bit,

520
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: but dude, and do you think anyone involved with the

521
00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: commit is gonna make any effort to have any of

522
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: the judges or anyone else involved with that commission explain

523
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: literally a single card. No, they're gonna circle the wagons.

524
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: And do you really think after this this will be

525
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: the last assignment that Doug Crosby or anybody else gets

526
00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: for a long time. Not gonna happen, not gonna happen.

527
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 1: They don't give a shit. They don't give a shit, right,

528
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 1: They don't care. Well, what are we gonna do to

529
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: fix these judges? Call your local representative, ask the governor

530
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 1: to do something, because as long as it's just us

531
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,280
Speaker 1: complaining on places like this or online, the answer is nothing,

532
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 1: Nothing will happen. Now, God, what do you even say

533
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: about this fight? How did I score it? Twenty nine

534
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 1: twenty eight Gordon is how I had it? Right? I

535
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,480
Speaker 1: gave I think Patty the Jesus. I have to go

536
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 1: back and look at Oh I had to give it

537
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,880
Speaker 1: to CBS Sports. I'll tell you how I scored it.

538
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Obviously round one for Gordon because I'm not blind. Let's see,

539
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I had I have round three for Patty.

540
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: All right, let me tell you why I had round

541
00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 1: three for Patty. And I was like, I struggle with

542
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: that one. Like, here's what I'll tell you, Like, what

543
00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: are the acceptable scorecards here in this one? Thirty twenty

544
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 1: seven Gordon is acceptable because rounds one and two are his,

545
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:30,400
Speaker 1: I think without much issue. Round three is the one

546
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: I can understand. I could, I could squint, okay, So

547
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: thirty twenty seven is one for Gordon. Twenty nine to

548
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: twenty eight Gordon is an acceptable scorecard. I can honestly

549
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: live with twenty nine. You're gonna your people are gonna

550
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:47,000
Speaker 1: crucify me for this. I can sort of squint and

551
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: get twenty nine to twenty eight. Patty Pimblet in the

552
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: sense of giving Gordon round one, round two, he had

553
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: a bit of a late flurry, and round three was

554
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 1: kind of weird. Rounds two and three were both kind

555
00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: of hard to judge it in certain ways. It's just

556
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: the unanimity of it that, like they just deferred to

557
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: that which drives me up the wall. And two of

558
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 1: the three judges, Ron McCarthy and Douglas Crosby giving round

559
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: one to Patty when he got his face punched in

560
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 1: and walloped around for almost three to four minutes, is

561
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 1: in comprehensible. Incomprehensible? How is that possible? Let's look up

562
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,360
Speaker 1: the numbers on this again. These are quantitative, not qualitative,

563
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 1: but they matter, they matter. Let's look at them. The

564
00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: numbers numerically interesting though, you know again most of these

565
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 1: were okay, So these right, so round one numerically thirty

566
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 1: to twenty nine Gordon versus Pimblet. However, what percentage of

567
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 1: them was significant? Strikes? Fifty eight percent of the thirty

568
00:33:01,560 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: were significant for Jared just forty one of the twenty nine.

569
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,720
Speaker 1: Excuse me know the total strikes anyway, forty one percent

570
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: of the total strikes. I got that wrong, twenty nine

571
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: ultimately thirty Ultimately forty one percent of the total strikes.

572
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,720
Speaker 1: Fifty eight percent of total strikes were significant. Okay. Round

573
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: two twenty eight to twenty four, Patty Gordon did get

574
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:23,840
Speaker 1: a takedown with two minutes of control time. Make of

575
00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 1: that what you will. Round three, Patty six strikes to

576
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 1: get Gordon's four. Not much of a difference. They both

577
00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 1: landed a total of twenty one and Gordon got two

578
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:36,479
Speaker 1: takedowns with three minutes and fifty three of control town. Now,

579
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:40,080
Speaker 1: a lot of that was against the fence. The round

580
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: I just can't. I cannot, And these are numeric totals,

581
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: not qualitative. Let's look at the targeting. Targeting was pretty similar.

582
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: Fifty two to fifty one, Patty to Gordon for the behead,

583
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty four, Patty to Gordon for the body,

584
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: twenty six to twenty four, pimblet to Gordon. In terms

585
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: of strikes, again most of them being at distance, a

586
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: little bit in the clinch, almost nothing on the ground.

587
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:06,840
Speaker 1: The reason why Patty taking round three I think is

588
00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:09,960
Speaker 1: doable is because there was a lot of control but

589
00:34:10,040 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: not a lot of offense behind it. And you guys

590
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 1: know me, I actually think that people have taken this

591
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:21,759
Speaker 1: rule and gone too far with it, and in situations

592
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 1: where there has been control and even a little bit

593
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,120
Speaker 1: of ground and pound and not much of an answer

594
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 1: on the feet, kind of overly focused on the fact

595
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,080
Speaker 1: that there has been positional control and then decided it's

596
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: didn't have the same amount of value that it should have.

597
00:34:36,280 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: That's where I think the people get it wrong. But

598
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 1: I'm open to the idea that you can't I mean

599
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: last night with Danny Sabotello, like, I'm open to the

600
00:34:42,440 --> 00:34:45,280
Speaker 1: idea you can't just control someone, have your hands around

601
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: their hips or legs, not throw strikes, not really ever

602
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: go for a submission and you can win in a

603
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 1: high level MMA fight. In round three, the striking was

604
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 1: roughly approximate between the two roughly, and Gordon definitely did

605
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: have the takedowns, it definitely did have the control time

606
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 1: not three fit ines in three seconds on the ground.

607
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 1: So I mean again again, I think you can see

608
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,000
Speaker 1: a round for Gordon there. But I can understand how

609
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: folks might look at that and say, there just wasn't

610
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: much behind it, didn't really do a whole lot with it.

611
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 1: And so by virtue of that, what can we really say?

612
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 1: You can give it to Patty because he had a

613
00:35:19,160 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 1: couple of more impactful strikes. That's possible. It's round one.

614
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 1: Round one is the one. To me, that is like

615
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: and even around two to an extent, but definitely round one,

616
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: two ten nines, two ten nines for Patty in round

617
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: one is to me like incomprehensible. Incomprehensible. I don't know

618
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 1: how you arrive at that position. Now, people I have

619
00:35:40,560 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: seen online a very negative reaction thinking that Gordon one

620
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: definitively two rounds and in certain cases three. The three

621
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: to me is a stretch. I think you can do that.

622
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: It's a bit of a stretch. The two seems to

623
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 1: be a very strong argument. And then you know, again,

624
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,960
Speaker 1: I think that's it sounds almost contradictory to say that

625
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: I could live with a twenty nine twenty eight pimblet.

626
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: And yet here we have a case where like three

627
00:36:07,040 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 1: judges got that. Why isn't that okay? It's because like,

628
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:16,920
Speaker 1: how was it possible if there had been, like if

629
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,920
Speaker 1: the scorecards had looked a little bit differently, Like if

630
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:20,759
Speaker 1: they had all been the way where all of them

631
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 1: had given the first round to Jared Gordon, you know,

632
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 1: I'd feel a little bit differently about it. But Gordon's

633
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: weakest round in many ways was the third round, and

634
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: his strongest round was the first round. He lost the

635
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: first round on two of the judges scorecards, and he

636
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,400
Speaker 1: won them the third on two of the judges scorecards.

637
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 1: Like in the round where he performed the least, they

638
00:36:44,800 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 1: actually gave him the benefit of the doubt. In the

639
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: round where he was like boxing his fucking ears off,

640
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: they didn't give it to him, Like how is this

641
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 1: po Like what are you watching? And again I have

642
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: made this argument for years. If you've followed my work

643
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 1: sound like a broken record, you must understand I'm willing

644
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: to accommodate the idea as well that when you watch this,

645
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,400
Speaker 1: the position from which you watch the judges do not

646
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: sit together. They sit in opposite places on the cage.

647
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,240
Speaker 1: When you watch it, you may have instant replay or excuse.

648
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,799
Speaker 1: We may have a video monitor that you could use.

649
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's useful, Maybe that's not maybe the action in

650
00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 1: a certain way, or even a particular punch or particular

651
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: strike happens where the fighter who got hit has their

652
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: back turned to you, so you don't really see it.

653
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 1: I can understand there being some variance. It's why you

654
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 1: have to be a little bit more forgiving of you know,

655
00:37:32,560 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: the idea of a twenty nine to twenty eight, Petty

656
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:38,840
Speaker 1: pimblet I'm I'm not offended by that as an idea,

657
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: But only one judge had it the right way that

658
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,719
Speaker 1: you could have done it. The other two didn't, and

659
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: they did it in opposite ways. It's like, dude, how

660
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 1: are we even looking at the same thing here? Like

661
00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 1: you guys are having unanimity among the impossible. That's that's

662
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 1: the part that I just don't get. It's like everything

663
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 1: just went deferential to him in ways that are not

664
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: in keeping with what we were just with. We saw.

665
00:38:05,880 --> 00:38:08,120
Speaker 1: I can squint and like, I don't agree with it.

666
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: It wouldn't be my scorecard. It wasn't my scorecard. I

667
00:38:10,719 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: can squint with ten nine, round one to Gordon and

668
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 1: given the other two away. It's not I don't agree

669
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: with it, but given that the second and the third

670
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:22,840
Speaker 1: rounds were close. Ish, I can understand. Listen, any time,

671
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:28,080
Speaker 1: no matter how you feel about around, any time, it's

672
00:38:28,120 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: either like quantitatively close or just quite obviously visually close.

673
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: Right anytime, anytime between any two fighters, it's up for grabs.

674
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 1: Judging is so inconsistent and so difficult to anticipate you're

675
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 1: going to get to that right, that's the place you're

676
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 1: going to arrive. So I can understand. I can. I

677
00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,920
Speaker 1: can live in a world where you know, one judge

678
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:53,640
Speaker 1: saw it that way, but for the other two to

679
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,280
Speaker 1: not get it the right way and then get everything

680
00:38:56,400 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: inverted in the process, and for one of them to

681
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,160
Speaker 1: be the guy that just got off the fucking plane

682
00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:09,360
Speaker 1: after I mean, just mail it in a fifty forty five.

683
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: You gotta be fucking kidding me. You gotta be kidding me.

684
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 1: You gotta be kidding me. In the fight itself, let's

685
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: talk about Patty. Now. He won, and I'm sure he's

686
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: happy about that, and I want to remind you it's

687
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 1: not like he did the judging in this fight. So

688
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 1: if you're pissed about it, save it for who it

689
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: belongs to. Okay, but I'll say this, I don't think

690
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 1: this was a great week for him personally speaking. Yeah,

691
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: he got the win. Okay, here's why I won. He

692
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: had the whole beef with Aria Howane, which you know

693
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 1: we've already waited on, but just you know, wasn't a

694
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: great look. I think it's a pretty fair way to

695
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,920
Speaker 1: put it. And then he goes out here and he

696
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:53,400
Speaker 1: wins this contest in highly controversial fashion. He gets on

697
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 1: the mic and he's like, yo, is this fight of

698
00:39:55,080 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: the night. It's like, dude, did you not see the

699
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 1: ten finishes that happened before this? Like it's not to

700
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: say that a decision couldn't beat a knockout or submission

701
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: when you know, like there would never be a case

702
00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:11,680
Speaker 1: where that could happen. Of course, you could imagine a

703
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 1: case where that very easily happen, but not like when

704
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: the judging is controversial, you're getting booed for it. Not

705
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: his fault, but he is getting booed for it. And

706
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 1: then you know, the fight itself was not like terrible,

707
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like by any means remarkable either. He's like, oh,

708
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:29,479
Speaker 1: fight it at the night. I'm like, okay, no, that's

709
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,600
Speaker 1: not right. But here's the real reality. Even though he

710
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,840
Speaker 1: got the w tonight. It should be very clear to

711
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: people at this point now that his developmental issues are

712
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 1: real and didn't cost him tonight, they're gonna in the future.

713
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:47,080
Speaker 1: How many fights into his career is Patty Pimblet. Let's

714
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,880
Speaker 1: see Patty Pimblet is now officially. Let's see his record.

715
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: He's twenty and three. My man has had twenty three

716
00:40:52,320 --> 00:40:55,759
Speaker 1: pro fights. And listen, I am not his coach, I

717
00:40:55,800 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: am not I am not anyone's coach. This is just opinion.

718
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: You can take it for what it is worth. If

719
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: it sounds good to you, great, If it doesn't leave it,

720
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna just be honest with you. If you're twenty

721
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: three fights into your career, great, and not that old

722
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: of a person, just twenty seven years old. So there

723
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 1: is not we don't have to be like utterly panic.

724
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,759
Speaker 1: But if you're twenty three fights into your career and

725
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: you still don't move your head at all in the

726
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,759
Speaker 1: way that he does, you got some problems. That's a

727
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: red flag, man, And it's been a red flag for

728
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: a while. You know. It was a red flag in

729
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 1: the Vendramini fight, and it's been a red flag in

730
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:35,439
Speaker 1: some other ones. But he kind of has found ways

731
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 1: to like not have it be utterly costly against him.

732
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,719
Speaker 1: Even in this case it wasn't utterly costly, although it

733
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:46,399
Speaker 1: potentially should have been. But if you're this deep into

734
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 1: your run and you're having this much trouble with you

735
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: know something that is frankly a very difficult skill to master, right,

736
00:41:55,560 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 1: it's simple, not easy, but but you know a foundational

737
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,320
Speaker 1: as in like highly important and frankly critical for success

738
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: at the next level. And it just does not appear

739
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,000
Speaker 1: to be there. And he's been doing it. He's got

740
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 1: twenty three fights, he went pro ten years ago at

741
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 1: age seventeen. Basically, it's it's a red flag, folks, it's

742
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,400
Speaker 1: a red flag. I don't know how you can watch

743
00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,719
Speaker 1: this performance and think this is a guy ready to

744
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: take on rank contenders. I just don't see that at all.

745
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: I don't see that at all. Jared Gordon's a good

746
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 1: fighter and a talented one. I thought he won tonight,

747
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:35,879
Speaker 1: but he's not ranked either. And this was a fight

748
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:39,799
Speaker 1: where like, did Patty show you anywhere I'll get to

749
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 1: that in a minute, where he clearly showed you elite talent.

750
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: I'll say this along the fence line, his grappling and

751
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,880
Speaker 1: his game there is formidable. I know he trains with

752
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:54,399
Speaker 1: Justin Flores, who's a phenomenal judo black belt and former

753
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: judo competitor and a jiu jitsu black belt and a

754
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 1: competitor and a coach, and you could do much worse

755
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,840
Speaker 1: than training with him. But what I noticed was like

756
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:03,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't really level change from distance. He kind of

757
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:05,799
Speaker 1: waits until someone like wraps up with him and then

758
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 1: has like an upper body jockeying for position. Now he

759
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: will change levels if he can turn them and press

760
00:43:11,080 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: him into the fence. But his wrestling and open space

761
00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 1: doesn't really doesn't really exist. He doesn't really move. His

762
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 1: head was striking real wide, you know. I mean, I

763
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,839
Speaker 1: could go to a lot of things. His game is

764
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: not ready to beat rank contenders and he's been doing

765
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: it for a while. That's a problem. That's a problem.

766
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 1: So even if you thought whatever whatever you thought about

767
00:43:37,680 --> 00:43:40,000
Speaker 1: the decision, I don't know how you can watch this

768
00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: performance given the amount of this is for fighting the UFC,

769
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,040
Speaker 1: given how much time he's been there and been like

770
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 1: this is the kind of skill set that will take

771
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: you to the next level. It's it's not built for

772
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: the next level, with the exception of the back control,

773
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,399
Speaker 1: Like the fence wrestling, that is good. That stuff's good,

774
00:43:57,440 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 1: Like I'll give him credit the back control, the back attacking,

775
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: working along the fence line where he's got like you know,

776
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 1: one hook in and like we've threw behind a leg

777
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,480
Speaker 1: and like he's working for you know, an over under

778
00:44:10,520 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 1: grip or something or making you wrestle. That's great, but

779
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 1: the rest of that game is not even and by

780
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 1: the way, the rest of the game is the vast

781
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: majority of the game. It is not ready for the

782
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: next level at all at all, you know, at one

783
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: fifty five, Like let's look at the rank contenders at

784
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: one fifty five, shall we? And you know you want

785
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 1: to be like we we've talked about this before. We

786
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 1: had Raboul Rossas junior, who did look really good tonight,

787
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: you know, although the hype around him is just absurd too,

788
00:44:41,239 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 1: but he looked good, like he had a strong performance.

789
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 1: He executed. He had a very different kind of challenge.

790
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: I think his opponent, Jay Perrin is not nearly as

791
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,399
Speaker 1: good as Jared Gordon, But you get the idea, Okay,

792
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: one fifty five, Like here's eleven to fifteen, Dan Hooker,

793
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: damir Is Macgoulov, Dude, Demirs Macgoolov is about to fight

794
00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:02,080
Speaker 1: Arminsar Yukin, So are you can this ranked ninth? Right,

795
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: it's Magoula might win that contest, like he's awesome, not

796
00:45:06,800 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: Tilmaikano's at thirteen, Connor McGregor at fourteen, Tony Ferguson into fifteen.

797
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,160
Speaker 1: I maybe Tony because he's truly at the very end

798
00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: of his career, but even then I don't really think so. Like,

799
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 1: would you pick him against Hooker, is Magoula, Muikano or

800
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:25,279
Speaker 1: McGregor or Jalen Turner, Like no, no, no, no, the

801
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: fuck you would not no, not in your not in

802
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 1: your right mind, you wouldn't uhuh like his his game

803
00:45:33,920 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 1: after twenty three fights four fights in the UFC is

804
00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: very much not ready for the next level. And that's

805
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 1: not me trying to be a dick or a hater.

806
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: And again, if you're a fan, you can feel free

807
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:45,480
Speaker 1: to tell me I'm wrong. It's okay. This is just

808
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 1: my show. It's my opinion. You can take her for

809
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: what it is worth. I don't know what you would

810
00:45:49,080 --> 00:45:51,279
Speaker 1: point to aside from the two things I've highlighted back

811
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:55,040
Speaker 1: attacks and then fence wrestling, which can be certainly important.

812
00:45:55,719 --> 00:46:02,959
Speaker 1: But all that other shit, uh is not ready, And

813
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: there's a question you have to ask yourself about whether

814
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: it'll even be ready, much less whether he won the

815
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:13,520
Speaker 1: fight tonight. So not a great showing at all, even

816
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:17,319
Speaker 1: if he gets the win by some minor miracle. So

817
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,400
Speaker 1: to me, the story of this fight was that one

818
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 1: thought Jared Gordon did enough to win. That's one. Two.

819
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: The judging and the judging assignments from the Nevada Commission

820
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:37,279
Speaker 1: are Nevada whatever are unforgivable, and that even with the win,

821
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: I just don't know how you can look at him

822
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,440
Speaker 1: as a contender who is going to be capable of

823
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:46,399
Speaker 1: climbing the ranks with the developed skill set he has. Now,

824
00:46:46,600 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 1: I will say this, there's, as I mentioned, there's the

825
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:51,680
Speaker 1: peace already build on plus at twenty seven. If he

826
00:46:51,719 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: can keep going, there's some stuff to get to. But

827
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, man, if you're that experienced and

828
00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: you're still fighting the way you're fighting, I have serious

829
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: questions about whether like actual change is possible to this point, yes,

830
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:08,040
Speaker 1: of course, improvement. He looked physically big for the whight

831
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,160
Speaker 1: class too. I'll say that, like he looked to be

832
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,560
Speaker 1: in good shape. I'm sure he trains. I'm sure he

833
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:14,080
Speaker 1: trains hard, and there's no doubt in my mind he

834
00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: trains hard. All these guys do. But at the same time, too,

835
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 1: that was not an inspiring performance at all. It's not

836
00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: just that he gets hit. All the fighters get hit,

837
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,719
Speaker 1: so he doesn't really move his head at all. He's

838
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: not cutting angles at all, and it it is like

839
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 1: very noticeable, and he's not done anything about it since.

840
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 1: Like ever, Uh, I don't know why that would be

841
00:47:43,280 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 1: a thing that folks would look at and be like, oh, yeah,

842
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: that's no big deal. It's a huge deal. And it's

843
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,879
Speaker 1: not just the head movement. It's a lot of other

844
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 1: things too. It's a continued inability to address something over

845
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:56,120
Speaker 1: time because remember, you're never going to fix something overnight.

846
00:47:56,200 --> 00:47:58,560
Speaker 1: It takes time to like, especially like dude, head movement

847
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: is hard. It's hard to exactly to time it to

848
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:03,960
Speaker 1: do it. So you don't move too much in one

849
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,800
Speaker 1: direction because you can lean into something and the further

850
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,200
Speaker 1: you move away, that's the same distance you have to

851
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:12,439
Speaker 1: recover to come back. Like it's hard, it's hard to time.

852
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: It's hard to do it. Like, it's not easy. I'm

853
00:48:14,040 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: not sitting here telling you it's some obvious thing. But

854
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: if you've been fighting professionally for ten years and you

855
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: still are at this level and now you're ready to

856
00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:23,959
Speaker 1: begin to like, you know, challenge some some some better

857
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 1: fighters in this division, and you're it's lacking this dude.

858
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,439
Speaker 1: Jalen Turner would light this dude on fire. I mean

859
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 1: like horrifically, horrifically that would be a terrible fighter. Dude.

860
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,279
Speaker 1: Demirius mcgoolov with his jab and his takedown defense, Oh

861
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:44,440
Speaker 1: my god, and he's ranked what twelfth, it would be

862
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 1: a it would be a it would be a nightmare

863
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: for him. It'd be a nightmare. Arminsar yuki and ranked

864
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: at nine. Dan Hooker, dude, just Demirius macgoolov would would

865
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 1: hand him serious L and a serious L. So, you know,

866
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: I usually try to be very understanding of things, and

867
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 1: I am, like, he didn't judge this fight, and I

868
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:12,640
Speaker 1: know that there's a lot of like pent up anger

869
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:15,759
Speaker 1: towards him for other issues. You know, you have to

870
00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 1: kind of put that aside when you're making an evaluation

871
00:49:17,680 --> 00:49:20,720
Speaker 1: of a fighter and a performance that they had. There

872
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 1: were some things to take from this that weren't so bad,

873
00:49:23,200 --> 00:49:26,400
Speaker 1: but the fact that the lingering issues continue to go

874
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 1: unaddressed as he's trying to get more and more up

875
00:49:29,560 --> 00:49:32,720
Speaker 1: the ladder, and the UFC gave him basically two gimmes

876
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 1: a tough fight, but not on this Like here's the

877
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:41,120
Speaker 1: other part about it. Against Vendramini and Vargas, those were

878
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: fights that were just getting him warmed up to get

879
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 1: into things. Right. Then they gave him Jordan Levitt, who

880
00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 1: is a good fighter, but not really gonna like that

881
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,560
Speaker 1: was only gonna be a test of the ground game

882
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 1: versus ground game for the most part, right, you knew

883
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: that this was the first time he got a UFC

884
00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 1: fighter who could like genuinely give him a bit of

885
00:49:57,600 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 1: a tough fight on the feet over the long haul,

886
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: like Jared Gordon's built for that. And I didn't see

887
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 1: anyone pass a test. That's not what I saw. That's

888
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,040
Speaker 1: not what I saw at all. So sure, man, if

889
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: Patty gets on your back, then you're in deep shit

890
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: and he's good at finding it, that's true, you know.

891
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 1: But short of that, man, I'm he's gonna he might

892
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 1: start encountering problems. And what I've noticed is when you

893
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 1: look at like the Page van Zants or the Stage Northcuts,

894
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:30,239
Speaker 1: or some other folks who were like, you know these like, oh,

895
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:34,640
Speaker 1: really young, interesting prospects. The UFC gave him about three

896
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 1: ish fights, sometimes two, sometimes four, but three ish fights

897
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 1: before they really begin to ratchet up the competition. I

898
00:50:42,719 --> 00:50:44,799
Speaker 1: don't know what they're gonna do here. They may give

899
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: him somebody else that's not like this. I don't know.

900
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: They may decide that he needs more help. I don't know.

901
00:50:49,239 --> 00:50:50,640
Speaker 1: I don't know what they're gonna do. But if they

902
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: escalate from here, he's in trouble. He's in trouble. His

903
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: game is just not developed to beat rank contender at

904
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 1: this point, not certainly, not consistently, and not very high

905
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: up the rank if any again, maybe a couple of

906
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:11,719
Speaker 1: permutations you could think of or squeeze out, but not

907
00:51:11,800 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: a great showing. Not a great showing. All right, I've

908
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:16,080
Speaker 1: been rambling on this one. Let's talk about some other

909
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:22,400
Speaker 1: ones on this card if we can. Here. Don't have

910
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot to say about Santiago Ponzinibio taken on Alex Moreno,

911
00:51:25,560 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: winning at two twenty nine of round three. We'll probably

912
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,160
Speaker 1: save this a little bit for either extra credit or

913
00:51:31,760 --> 00:51:35,720
Speaker 1: regular MK on Friday. He's been on Monday, Morno, winning

914
00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:41,280
Speaker 1: two rounds and much busier. Ponzinibbio going to the body,

915
00:51:41,280 --> 00:51:44,239
Speaker 1: a lot ton of bodywork from Ponzinimbio, but not really

916
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,760
Speaker 1: able to get it done for the first two rounds

917
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:50,920
Speaker 1: and then finally is able to like use that bodywork

918
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: to trick moreno to then come over the top and dude,

919
00:51:55,120 --> 00:51:57,920
Speaker 1: what's that line from fifty cent? You know, he's like,

920
00:51:58,000 --> 00:51:59,560
Speaker 1: I won't say the N word, but he's like, the

921
00:51:59,640 --> 00:52:02,319
Speaker 1: dudes screw the face up at me, but on some

922
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 1: real shit, son, they don't want me. Is that what

923
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,839
Speaker 1: he says? That was like that he had his face

924
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:09,960
Speaker 1: all messed up, and then he came in and dropped

925
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:11,640
Speaker 1: the boom on him, lowered the boom on him one

926
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: more time and put his lights out. Great comeback win

927
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:18,800
Speaker 1: for Ponzinibia. Certainly some questions to ask yourself. And that

928
00:52:18,960 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 1: was a switch from a different kind of you know,

929
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 1: stanced opponent, a different kind of fight, different kind of

930
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: fighter than what he was gonna get with Robbie Lawler.

931
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,319
Speaker 1: Fair enough, so when you make those switches, guys can

932
00:52:27,320 --> 00:52:29,640
Speaker 1: get tripped up, and he got the win in the end.

933
00:52:29,680 --> 00:52:32,359
Speaker 1: So Ponzinibio has a lot to be happy and proud about,

934
00:52:32,400 --> 00:52:34,960
Speaker 1: no doubt about it. So some things to work on

935
00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 1: and some questions to ask, but this was one. If

936
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: you'd lost them, have been really bad. Salvaging in the

937
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: way he did I thought was great and using bodywork

938
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: to set up the finish, just no doubt about it.

939
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:45,279
Speaker 1: Took him a little while to get it done, had

940
00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 1: to be patient, but he did so. Congratulations to Santio

941
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: Pantio Ponzinibio, a great job by him. All right, let's

942
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: talk about Darren Till. Driggis DUPLESSI defeats Darren Till via

943
00:52:56,200 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: face crank at two forty three of the third round. Okay, so, oh,

944
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,759
Speaker 1: they're not the same age, and they're not in the

945
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: same stage of their career, and there's lots of differences.

946
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:07,680
Speaker 1: I don't mean to overstate them. But Darren Till's in trouble.

947
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: His UFC careers in trouble and his MMA careers in trouble,

948
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: and let's go over it. He hasn't won back to

949
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:22,719
Speaker 1: back fights since twenty seventeen into twenty eighteen. Since then,

950
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 1: he got Bravo choked by Tyron Woodley, he got KOed

951
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:31,200
Speaker 1: by Jorge Maswittal. He did beat Kelvin Gaslimbia split in

952
00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,400
Speaker 1: November of twenty nineteen. Then he loses to Robert Whittaker

953
00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: be a decision. He gets finished off by Derek Brunson,

954
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,959
Speaker 1: and he gets finished off here by Drikis Duplessi. Now

955
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,080
Speaker 1: it got named fight of the night apparently, So there's that.

956
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: Why is Darren Till's career in trouble? Well, First of all,

957
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,799
Speaker 1: he's lost five of his last six. He hasn't won

958
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: a fight in over three years. That's the first reason.

959
00:53:55,200 --> 00:53:58,759
Speaker 1: But here's the bigger reason. The bigger reason is I'm

960
00:53:58,840 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: just not seeing any growth and development in his game

961
00:54:01,560 --> 00:54:05,600
Speaker 1: at this point at all, nothing super visible, nothing I

962
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:09,759
Speaker 1: can really be like. Aha. He had a questionable sort

963
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 1: of decision making in the first round where he's getting

964
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: held briefly against the fence, actually not even briefly, but

965
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: he gets held along against the fence and dupless kind

966
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 1: of had captured the far wrist and was just unloading

967
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:24,879
Speaker 1: on the near side until didn't want to stand even

968
00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 1: though like he could have, and he needed to and Okay,

969
00:54:28,480 --> 00:54:30,799
Speaker 1: you're getting hit and you're trying to orient yourself. All right, Fine,

970
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,279
Speaker 1: that's not the end of the world. But that was

971
00:54:33,320 --> 00:54:35,919
Speaker 1: a weird thing. And he did storm back in that round,

972
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: and I thought he had a good second round where

973
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: when he was at range, you know he was landing.

974
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 1: For sure, he was landing. But here was the big problem.

975
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 1: Two big problems. One cannot believe his wrestling defense has

976
00:54:52,520 --> 00:54:56,400
Speaker 1: not gotten better than what it is. Dupless is physical

977
00:54:56,560 --> 00:55:00,279
Speaker 1: and he's a good wrestler, but the ease with which

978
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 1: he was able to get it came far too quickly.

979
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,080
Speaker 1: There just was not much genuine down blocking, a hardcore,

980
00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 1: intense wrestling resistance from Darren Hill not in this fight.

981
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 1: Didn't see it. And I think that there's a case

982
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,200
Speaker 1: to make that it could have been and should have been, Like,

983
00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 1: you can't tell me that's the best anyone could do,

984
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: even in you know of any UFC middleweight, Like not possible.

985
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:34,920
Speaker 1: It just like his takedown defense just collapsed almost immediately.

986
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 1: It was the ease with which Dupless was able to

987
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,720
Speaker 1: do it, and then capturing mount very quickly in the third,

988
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:45,440
Speaker 1: Like there's just not enough growth in that part of

989
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:49,200
Speaker 1: the game right now and there hasn't been And you know,

990
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: he's almost thirty years old at this point, which is

991
00:55:51,120 --> 00:55:52,600
Speaker 1: not old, but he's been at it for a while.

992
00:55:52,719 --> 00:55:54,400
Speaker 1: He's had a lot of injury. Actually, how old is

993
00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 1: Darrn til yeah, twenty nine, so he's not old. But

994
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: like that he's been at it this long and it's

995
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: going this way is a bit of a problem. So

996
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,480
Speaker 1: that's the first problem. But here's the other problem. The

997
00:56:05,560 --> 00:56:07,640
Speaker 1: problem on the feet is not that he wasn't better

998
00:56:07,680 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 1: than Duplessy on the feet and at times landing some

999
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,759
Speaker 1: nice shots. He is and he was. The problem was

1000
00:56:12,960 --> 00:56:17,160
Speaker 1: he just had the same intensity sparring, because I've seen

1001
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 1: video of him sparring that he does fighting like there's

1002
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:22,440
Speaker 1: no real distinction between them, and sometimes there shouldn't be.

1003
00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: But like he wasn't able to okay. So, like you

1004
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 1: hear the saying, a good fighter takes advantages of his

1005
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 1: opponent's mistakes, that's one, but a great fighter makes his

1006
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: opponent make mistakes. He just wasn't creating hardly any good

1007
00:56:40,080 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: openings and he was chasing a lot with the left

1008
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:44,920
Speaker 1: hand as his opponent was circling away, like he was

1009
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:46,800
Speaker 1: landing good shots, don't get me wrong, especially in the

1010
00:56:46,840 --> 00:56:49,400
Speaker 1: second round. He won that one cleanly, like no question,

1011
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:53,120
Speaker 1: he won it cleanly. But he wasn't like bombing on

1012
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 1: the guy. He wasn't like beating his ass. He was

1013
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 1: just you know, better overall landing the shots. I'll pull

1014
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: the stats up here and just second again. These will

1015
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 1: be numeric and not qualitative. But I'm just not I'm

1016
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:09,520
Speaker 1: just not seeing proper development on his game up to

1017
00:57:09,560 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 1: this point. I'm not seeing it, man, at all. I

1018
00:57:14,760 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: don't understand why not, because I'm sure he seems to

1019
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 1: work hard, you know, being with Hamsat and going down

1020
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 1: to Emma All Stars can't be a bad thing. But

1021
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:31,640
Speaker 1: what has had amounted to his wrestling defense didn't look

1022
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,320
Speaker 1: to me any better than it was three years ago.

1023
00:57:34,480 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: His striking, to me, didn't look any better than it

1024
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 1: did three years ago. And again, striking is not bad.

1025
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 1: A striking is pretty good. But let me and listen

1026
00:57:42,080 --> 00:57:44,080
Speaker 1: to these numbers, and again I realized that a lot

1027
00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:45,800
Speaker 1: of this is gonna be from the first round. Dude.

1028
00:57:45,880 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 1: Round one trickis duplessie. This is the quantitative total. Ready,

1029
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: sixty to six Jesus now till had a much much

1030
00:57:54,960 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 1: better second round eighteen to ten, although he did give

1031
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: up two takedowns in a minute in twenty having of

1032
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: control time, but round three duples see sixteen to eleven

1033
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: got the takedown and the sub attempt, which he gets

1034
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,720
Speaker 1: some with the face crank, and dude, even with the

1035
00:58:08,720 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 1: face crank, listen, I'm sure the face crank hurt. But

1036
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: like Till didn't even really hand fight. I'm not sure

1037
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: how much he even wanted to be in this fight.

1038
00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 1: And I guess he got injured early on or at

1039
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 1: some point in the contest. I don't even know. And

1040
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 1: you could say, well, didn't that affect the result if

1041
00:58:20,840 --> 00:58:22,919
Speaker 1: he got injured, Yes, of course it did. Of course

1042
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 1: it did. But he's been injured a lot. It's like

1043
00:58:24,960 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 1: some people like are just always injured and some fighters

1044
00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: are not. Looking at Israel, He's never injured, you know,

1045
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: He's just constantly able to go out there. And some

1046
00:58:32,520 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: of the guys get injured all the time. And some

1047
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 1: of that is luck, some of that is training. It's

1048
00:58:35,680 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: really hard to exactly, you know, disentangle what's causing what.

1049
00:58:39,720 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: But whether it's the injury or the training or whatever, Like, dude,

1050
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: I don't give a shit up to this point, up

1051
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: to this point, his for the goals which he stated,

1052
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,600
Speaker 1: and for the ways in which we talk about the

1053
00:58:51,640 --> 00:58:54,440
Speaker 1: space he occupies in the division. You just have to

1054
00:58:54,440 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 1: be much I mean much further along than he is,

1055
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 1: much further along. And yeah, you know, if the injury,

1056
00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 1: I was gonna say, like, he looked worse than this

1057
00:59:04,120 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 1: fight than he did in the Robber Whittaker fight by

1058
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:07,680
Speaker 1: a mile. It looked pretty good in the Robert Whiticker fight,

1059
00:59:07,760 --> 00:59:11,160
Speaker 1: certainly in parts, and Whittaker had great respect for him,

1060
00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: and you know, there was a real chess match there.

1061
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 1: He didn't look nearly as good that tonight as he

1062
00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: did then. Like is he even regressing? I don't know,

1063
00:59:18,080 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: but certainly, certainly, certainly with the takedown questions and that

1064
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 1: you'd be like, oh, what about the toe hold? Toe

1065
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: hold wasn't close. A good toe hold is when their

1066
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 1: knee excuse me, when their heel as close to their

1067
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 1: rear end. That's when you can get a real nasty one.

1068
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:31,960
Speaker 1: When the foot is straight like that, it's a little

1069
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:33,760
Speaker 1: harder to get, although you can get him that way too.

1070
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:36,800
Speaker 1: But you know, that toe hold wasn't very close, So

1071
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what the injury was. I don't know

1072
00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 1: what happened, But I just don't know how you can

1073
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:41,440
Speaker 1: look at that and be like, Wow, this guy is

1074
00:59:41,480 --> 00:59:44,480
Speaker 1: really on his way this far into his career, you know.

1075
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 1: So in the same with Patty, where you have a

1076
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 1: twenty seven year old and here you have a twenty

1077
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: nine year old, it would still be foolish to write

1078
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,919
Speaker 1: them off. But like, Till needs a complete reset, and

1079
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna get that in the UFC.

1080
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know. I don't really know what

1081
01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: the hell they're going to do with him up to

1082
01:00:03,600 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 1: this point. That's a terrible loss, and there was a loss.

1083
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 1: He had moments where he looked good but never like great,

1084
01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 1: and the parts of his game as I'm just I

1085
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:21,360
Speaker 1: know I'm repeating myself over and over, but I I

1086
01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 1: just kind of can't believe it, to be honest with you,

1087
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 1: I can't believe that were this far along about guys

1088
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 1: we've like talked really strongly as like title contenders about

1089
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:33,520
Speaker 1: certainly in the case of Till, and that's the kind

1090
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:37,040
Speaker 1: of resistance he's able to marshal at this stage. It's

1091
01:00:37,160 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: not enough, it's not even close to enough. The results

1092
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: tell you that it's not enough. And I know that's

1093
01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, shitty for me to say in a way

1094
01:00:45,320 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 1: that like, I don't have to worry about these things.

1095
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 1: He's the one that has to worry about him, and

1096
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,160
Speaker 1: it's got to be difficult. But christ on crutches, man,

1097
01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,439
Speaker 1: Like I just you know, be a fan of who

1098
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: you want, and don't abandon guys you've been liking at

1099
01:00:57,880 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 1: this point just because they're flagging. And that's not what

1100
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying, but like, if you're going to base your

1101
01:01:03,160 --> 01:01:09,400
Speaker 1: fandom guys, promoters will just straight up lie to you

1102
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 1: about fighters all the time, both in terms of how

1103
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: good they are or how bad they are, how much

1104
01:01:14,760 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: they like him or don't. They'll just lie to you constantly.

1105
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,040
Speaker 1: Hype jobs happen all the time in MMA all the time,

1106
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,600
Speaker 1: and sometimes by accident, believe it or not, that's a

1107
01:01:22,640 --> 01:01:25,080
Speaker 1: real thing. You'd be like, well, it wouldn't be like

1108
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 1: not be possible to be by accident, but it's not.

1109
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of ways where a kuld manifests itself

1110
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 1: in ways that it shouldn't necessarily until got pushed. He

1111
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,080
Speaker 1: got pushed hard, and he was out there telling everyone

1112
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:39,080
Speaker 1: he was the best fighter in the world and he

1113
01:01:39,160 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: was going to be a title contender and a champion

1114
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: and everything, and dude, you got to prove shit like

1115
01:01:44,360 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 1: that before you do it. And he did it to

1116
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Serrooni and that was nice. And I think who had

1117
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,320
Speaker 1: to win after Serrooni? Right who he fought? He fought

1118
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:53,959
Speaker 1: uh Yues Stephen Thompson with that fight sucked and didn't

1119
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: prove anything. But you always, always, always got to be

1120
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:58,960
Speaker 1: careful about what promoters are selling. You got to be

1121
01:01:58,960 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: careful about what media entities are selling you. You gotta

1122
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: be carefulb what nations are selling you about how sure

1123
01:02:04,840 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 1: they are that this guy's good or this guy's great.

1124
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm not here to bury Darren till he has time

1125
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 1: to get right, but you should be concerned that this

1126
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 1: far into the journey we are not seeing the requisite

1127
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: improvement while his peers are, like Derek Brunson, had his

1128
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 1: own set of issues. Derek Brunson tightened up some screws

1129
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 1: and got a lot better and when they faced off,

1130
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:32,600
Speaker 1: look what happened. Look what happened. So I feel for him.

1131
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 1: He fought two times in twenty nineteen, once in twenty

1132
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,200
Speaker 1: twenty once in twenty twenty one. This was his only

1133
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 1: fight in twenty twenty two. He's not making the kind

1134
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 1: of money he probably had envisioned or wanted to. He's

1135
01:02:42,240 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: been injured a lot, He's missed a lot of time.

1136
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 1: He may have been injured here. Again, it's terrible. It's

1137
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 1: a terrible situation. But this is a brutal, fucking game

1138
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: that these guys signed up to play, not just in

1139
01:02:52,120 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: the actual act of the fight itself, but in how

1140
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 1: merciless it is around mistakes or difficulties or anything else obstacles.

1141
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 1: It's fucking merciless this game. And he's in a bad way.

1142
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:11,160
Speaker 1: He's in a real bad way. Uh oh okay, we'll

1143
01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:16,160
Speaker 1: end here. Iliot Toporia defeating Bryce Mitchell three ten of

1144
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:21,320
Speaker 1: round two. Fucking Ila to Poria is a bull. Is

1145
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 1: a bull twenty five years old, and he beat the

1146
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: shit out of Bryce Mitchell. Now his game is not perfect,

1147
01:03:31,040 --> 01:03:33,400
Speaker 1: but how did he do it? First of all, putting

1148
01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:37,360
Speaker 1: strikes in combination and he was leaning everything into them shits,

1149
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, Bryce Mitchell's gotten a chin, to

1150
01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,440
Speaker 1: be quite honest with you, and you know, obviously at

1151
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,880
Speaker 1: the end of the first round. I think with about

1152
01:03:44,880 --> 01:03:46,360
Speaker 1: a minute left he began to work his game a

1153
01:03:46,400 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: little bit, which was nice to see. It's obviously a

1154
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: formidable game, but Taporia is gonna be good about that.

1155
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:52,880
Speaker 1: He's not going to make too many mistakes, which he didn't.

1156
01:03:53,360 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 1: And in the first round, Jesus Toporia was able to

1157
01:03:56,400 --> 01:03:58,919
Speaker 1: keep his stance low. He was able to put combinations together.

1158
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: He was able to get Bryce backing up both with

1159
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:05,920
Speaker 1: jabs and hooking punches that he was just driving everything into.

1160
01:04:05,960 --> 01:04:09,360
Speaker 1: And then in the end, this is the whole story,

1161
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:11,960
Speaker 1: he hurts and I think dropped Bryce Mitchell, if I'm

1162
01:04:11,960 --> 01:04:14,400
Speaker 1: not mistaken, was blooding him up over the eye, through

1163
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: the nose the whole nine yards. In the second round

1164
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: along the fence line. Captures excuse me, so what hand

1165
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: was it around? It was this way so this hand

1166
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:30,000
Speaker 1: would be palmed down. He captures this. Now he's ear

1167
01:04:30,040 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 1: to ear almost with Bryce Mitchell takes it. By the way,

1168
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 1: he was rag dolling him. Did you see that? Like

1169
01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: taking almost like a cross face and then forcing him

1170
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:41,960
Speaker 1: down to the mat, doing some big brother shit to

1171
01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 1: Bryce Mitchell, which is not easy to do to Bryce

1172
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: Mitchell's like whatever else you think about his views, and

1173
01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:47,919
Speaker 1: the fans seemed to love him and all that, which

1174
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: is great. He's a formidable talent man. He was undefeated

1175
01:04:51,520 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: for a reason. He was in this fight for a

1176
01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 1: good reason. That's a very skilled fighter, and Tuporia was

1177
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:59,320
Speaker 1: just fucking muscling him down. But this was the best part.

1178
01:04:59,360 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 1: Once he even got the head and arm triangle. He

1179
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:05,120
Speaker 1: had to have it side to side angle to yank

1180
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,360
Speaker 1: him down to the mat and flatten him. But then

1181
01:05:07,400 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: what you notice he ends up doing is he slightly

1182
01:05:10,040 --> 01:05:14,400
Speaker 1: changes his position, not just to tighten the choke right

1183
01:05:14,440 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 1: by like twisting the knob a little bit, but also

1184
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,920
Speaker 1: he brings he started here, he brings his chest on

1185
01:05:21,160 --> 01:05:28,400
Speaker 1: top of the tricep of Bryce Mitchell to tighten the

1186
01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 1: choke as well. And it's a subtle, slight thing, but

1187
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: he does that. This is what I'm talking about. He

1188
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:38,280
Speaker 1: he's gonna have gas tank issues until he dials it

1189
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:43,720
Speaker 1: back a little bit. But he enters into exchanges punching.

1190
01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,320
Speaker 1: He doesn't catch and shoot. He enters in exchanging, he

1191
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: leaves exchanging. He is out there pinning these guys. He's

1192
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 1: forcing them down with cross faces. Everything he does has

1193
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:04,000
Speaker 1: hardcore intent, consistently hard core intent all the time. Man

1194
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 1: gas pedal to the floor. Not built for twenty five

1195
01:06:08,880 --> 01:06:10,720
Speaker 1: minute fight fight in that way, Let's be very clear

1196
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 1: about that. But he's twenty five years old, he's a

1197
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:17,920
Speaker 1: black belt in jiu jitsu, he's undefeated. He submitted Bryce

1198
01:06:17,960 --> 01:06:20,200
Speaker 1: Mitchell in his last contest. He was up at one

1199
01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 1: fifty five and viciously chaoed the guy. So you know

1200
01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: his power already carries up to say nothing of what

1201
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: it looks like at one forty five. Yo, mark my words.

1202
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:33,880
Speaker 1: Iliot so Soporia is coming for the belt. Now. It's

1203
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna take him a while to get through the division.

1204
01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,360
Speaker 1: Not next year, maybe not even twenty twenty four. It

1205
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 1: could take some time, but he's on his way. He's

1206
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,560
Speaker 1: gonna contend for it. There's not a doubt in my mind.

1207
01:06:44,720 --> 01:06:50,000
Speaker 1: This guy has championship potential written all over him. Now,

1208
01:06:50,040 --> 01:06:53,200
Speaker 1: as I mentioned, he does need to dial back the intensity.

1209
01:06:53,240 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 1: That intensity in the right moments, especially in grappling exchanges

1210
01:06:56,800 --> 01:07:00,680
Speaker 1: and especially in certain kinds of striking exchanges even will

1211
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:02,800
Speaker 1: serve him well. But he goes to the well a

1212
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: little too much. It creates big openings for takedowns it

1213
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: off balances him at times. He surrenders cage position when

1214
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,520
Speaker 1: he throws and he kind of stumbles forward and the

1215
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,000
Speaker 1: opponent gets behind him. He needs to tighten it up.

1216
01:07:14,080 --> 01:07:16,080
Speaker 1: Like there's I'm not to say he's a perfect fighter either,

1217
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: but but on the good side, Holy shit, a bull.

1218
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:27,880
Speaker 1: A bull, that's what that kid is. Twenty five years

1219
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: old and a fucking bull. I mean, what is his nickname?

1220
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 1: What do they call him? What do they call elliots? Apporia?

1221
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:47,120
Speaker 1: They should call him Toro. Let's see, I'm gonna pull

1222
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: up his they call him El Matador funnily enough. Yeah,

1223
01:07:56,360 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: holy shit, man, this dude, he's so good. He's so talented,

1224
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:08,240
Speaker 1: crisp striking in combinations malicious intent, but not just that

1225
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:11,920
Speaker 1: offensive intent. You got to keep in mind something like

1226
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:17,519
Speaker 1: even if he couldn't knock out Bryce Mitchell. And I

1227
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:19,360
Speaker 1: know what the rules are supposed to say. They're supposed

1228
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:21,320
Speaker 1: to say, we just have to judge the damage. But

1229
01:08:21,600 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 1: more than that, you're showing the judges when you do

1230
01:08:24,439 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 1: what he does. Where I'm battling in with strikes, I'm

1231
01:08:27,640 --> 01:08:31,240
Speaker 1: getting out with strikes. You know, I'm like, everything has

1232
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 1: this firm intensity to it. It does I think sends

1233
01:08:34,439 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 1: signals to the judges about like what he's trying to

1234
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 1: do in there. You know, I'm trying to throw more volume.

1235
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:43,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to do it with more fire. I'm trying

1236
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,679
Speaker 1: to put something behind it, Like everything is hard nosed, purposed,

1237
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: high speed, low drag everything everything that he's trying. You know,

1238
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 1: I do think over time, like if it went to

1239
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 1: the judges' scorecards that I think, whether they're conscious of

1240
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 1: it or not, I think it does end a message.

1241
01:09:01,320 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: So like there's layers to the offense in numerous kinds

1242
01:09:05,160 --> 01:09:07,320
Speaker 1: of ways, both in which how it integrates with the

1243
01:09:07,360 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 1: rest of his offense, both in terms of like well,

1244
01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:12,400
Speaker 1: what's a fake, what's a faint, but also kind of

1245
01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 1: kind of fitting it just in case for judging help

1246
01:09:21,400 --> 01:09:24,320
Speaker 1: in the event that he needs it, without like truly

1247
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:27,719
Speaker 1: tailoring it for it, because striking into exchanges is great

1248
01:09:28,439 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 1: if there were no judges. Exiting striking if there is

1249
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,680
Speaker 1: great even if there's no judges or or you know,

1250
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 1: the pinning, it would be great even if there's no judges.

1251
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: Like the things work for other reasons other than judging.

1252
01:09:41,840 --> 01:09:45,599
Speaker 1: But if judging came into a play, there it would

1253
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:48,599
Speaker 1: yet be even more effective. That's the kind of shit

1254
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:57,160
Speaker 1: he's doing, man, beast bull just an absolute good luck

1255
01:09:57,160 --> 01:10:00,120
Speaker 1: to the next guy has to fight that fucking guy.

1256
01:10:00,360 --> 01:10:02,240
Speaker 1: Good luck. All right, let's get to some of your

1257
01:10:02,320 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: questions here. Uh So Till's only win at is a

1258
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,920
Speaker 1: blown up one seventy or a five nine gasolim his

1259
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,160
Speaker 1: best win at Walter Waite other than the controversial Thompson

1260
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,120
Speaker 1: one is a blown up one fifty five or a cowboy?

1261
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:15,400
Speaker 1: Is the time to realize that, despite his popularity, Till

1262
01:10:15,439 --> 01:10:17,360
Speaker 1: is not an elite top fifteen UFC fighter and maybe

1263
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: never was. Yes, I don't say it lightly, but yes,

1264
01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:29,760
Speaker 1: how much public outrage short the January sixth incident, Well,

1265
01:10:29,800 --> 01:10:31,760
Speaker 1: we need to take we will need to take place

1266
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:34,200
Speaker 1: for there to be something done about MMA judging, Like

1267
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:36,519
Speaker 1: there has to be some kind of coordinated campaign to

1268
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: alert the governor in various states. Truly, I'm not doing

1269
01:10:39,439 --> 01:10:40,960
Speaker 1: a bit like that's what you actually have to do.

1270
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:44,280
Speaker 1: Should you start us start, Should you sat us start

1271
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:51,360
Speaker 1: testing judges for performance decrease drugs? Yeah? Maybe one six

1272
01:10:51,439 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: media had Yon beating O'Malley. One twenty four had Gordon

1273
01:10:55,240 --> 01:10:58,320
Speaker 1: beating Patty. I'm one hundred percent not saying corruption, but

1274
01:10:58,320 --> 01:11:02,759
Speaker 1: it's interesting that the judges saw it so different. Yeah.

1275
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,360
Speaker 1: I didn't mind the O'Malley one, and I even told

1276
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:07,400
Speaker 1: him that to on his own podcast, that I had

1277
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 1: scored it for Yon. But this one I think is bad,

1278
01:11:14,240 --> 01:11:16,160
Speaker 1: even with a card that had so many finishes and

1279
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: moments of excitement. Does it feel like after the main

1280
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,719
Speaker 1: event closed, the UFC took a bit of an l Yeah.

1281
01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,760
Speaker 1: I mean they didn't, but it does feel that way. Yes.

1282
01:11:24,840 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: Are you surprised that Till's takedown defense is so bad? Uh? Yeah,

1283
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: i am. Someone says Tony Ferguson, is the clear next

1284
01:11:33,840 --> 01:11:35,640
Speaker 1: fight for Patty to get him into the rankings? Right?

1285
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: They might do that. Fuck, they might do that. Do

1286
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:48,040
Speaker 1: you think we'll ever see a stage where judges are

1287
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 1: required to justify their scorecard? Nope? You think the commissions

1288
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:55,160
Speaker 1: are going to make themselves vulnerable to the need the

1289
01:11:55,200 --> 01:11:58,200
Speaker 1: needs of the public. Why would they do that. They

1290
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 1: don't serve the public. They serve rich institutional powers in

1291
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,519
Speaker 1: the case of the Nevada Commission in Las Vegas, that

1292
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: those are their clients. I mean, the taxpayers pay for them.

1293
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 1: But that's not who they serve. They don't serve the taxpayer,

1294
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,639
Speaker 1: not certainly, not exclusively, and I would say not even mostly.

1295
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:39,719
Speaker 1: What what are they saying when Dana White announces Glover

1296
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,559
Speaker 1: to share versus Jamal Hill for the vacant UFC let

1297
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: heavyweight title next month at UFC two eighty three in Brazil? Seriously? Really,

1298
01:12:53,439 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 1: I don't hate the fight by itself. Dude, Uncle Ayah

1299
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:08,479
Speaker 1: got screwed? Was that Patty's worst post fight speech ever? Yeah? Probably?

1300
01:13:10,400 --> 01:13:12,800
Speaker 1: What do you think UFC appointed judges would look like?

1301
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,519
Speaker 1: I don't want to find out. I don't want UFC

1302
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,160
Speaker 1: appointed judges like the state should do that job. They

1303
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:29,280
Speaker 1: should just do a better job. Right? Is the light

1304
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:35,480
Speaker 1: Heavwey division in shambles? Yeah? Where is Jamal in the rankings?

1305
01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:43,639
Speaker 1: Jamal is sitting at seven? Oh man, what a giant

1306
01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:47,760
Speaker 1: disaster year. He's out. Glover is the one in there.

1307
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:51,519
Speaker 1: Jan and Magamed were three and four, but that's now gone.

1308
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:54,760
Speaker 1: Rackets is sitting at five, but he's injured. Smith is

1309
01:13:54,760 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: sitting at six, but he's also injured. I believe I

1310
01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:01,559
Speaker 1: saw he was recovering from ordering we did room service

1311
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 1: diaries and then sitting at number seven as Jamal Hill. Yeah,

1312
01:14:04,479 --> 01:14:06,679
Speaker 1: that division is a mess. That division is a complete mess.

1313
01:14:08,040 --> 01:14:10,759
Speaker 1: It's pretty clear that Taporia would do some very nasty

1314
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:12,560
Speaker 1: things to Patty if they fought at this stage, do

1315
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 1: they if they put Patty in front of Taporia to

1316
01:14:14,920 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 1: Poria might fucking kill him. If you wanted to end

1317
01:14:18,439 --> 01:14:20,559
Speaker 1: Patty's career as soon as possible, put him in front

1318
01:14:20,560 --> 01:14:24,000
Speaker 1: of Tapoia. It's a mismatch. It's not even a good fight.

1319
01:14:24,080 --> 01:14:31,240
Speaker 1: It's a mismatch. Taporia would fuck him up. Who hired

1320
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:34,479
Speaker 1: those judges technically the commission who paid for him, the

1321
01:14:34,520 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: taxpayers of Nevada, and then of course the promoter in

1322
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 1: this case has to give a certain share of the

1323
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,840
Speaker 1: proceeds to the state, which they allocate for it. But yeah,

1324
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 1: so your tax dollars at fine work there? Do you

1325
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: think Jan? Do you think Jan gives Glover the title

1326
01:14:50,840 --> 01:14:52,680
Speaker 1: shot and neck? Why he's not up to him? Do

1327
01:14:52,720 --> 01:14:55,439
Speaker 1: commissions take a cut of the gate? Yes, but there's

1328
01:14:55,439 --> 01:14:59,360
Speaker 1: a cap on it in many states, or you know,

1329
01:14:59,400 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: it's a small a percentage based. They don't take a

1330
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,559
Speaker 1: huge amount off the promoter for the typical reason that

1331
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,880
Speaker 1: the promoter their their margins are thin and it will

1332
01:15:09,160 --> 01:15:11,599
Speaker 1: depend on state the state, but they're yes, they will

1333
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 1: typically take some a cut of the gate. I'm not

1334
01:15:15,240 --> 01:15:16,519
Speaker 1: sure if they take a cut of the gate or

1335
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 1: the overall event revenue. Again, I have to check. In Nevada,

1336
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: they do take a small off the top from what

1337
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 1: the promoter makes, but again it's mostly or I should

1338
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:28,400
Speaker 1: say a large part of it anyway, is taxpayer funded.

1339
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:30,439
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that was a hell of a night.

1340
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Good lord man, can you believe this shit? What a

1341
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:40,679
Speaker 1: night of of great fights that were ruined by bad

1342
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:46,799
Speaker 1: judging and incomprehensible judging in the Comaine and some serious

1343
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,200
Speaker 1: reckoning moments from people's careers about where they're headed and

1344
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 1: what the next stages might look like. My name is

Speaker 1: Luke Thomas. I've been on the air now and it's
