1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm Royal Oaks. Next time, on Too Many Lawyers, we

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

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: bad stuff is also illegal stuff. George Santos want a

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

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

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

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

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:23,400

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: Kenny Florian, I fucking love him.

12

Speaker 3: I can't get enough of him.

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: Let's hear that both tonight.

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 5: The job there, Craik bears Hondu. There are a couple

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 5: of absolutely self involved bullshit.

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: Here are your hosts, John Annick and Kenny Florian.

17
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 6: Oh, back in your life, Back in your Life. Sunday,

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 6: Ken Flow. It is episode three hundred and forty two

20
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 6: of the Anecan Florian podcast. Sunday, March twenty seventh, one

21
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 6: forty pm Eastern Time. Ken Flows out in California, We're

22
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 6: not gonna tell you what he's doing obviously, because he's

23
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 6: a close to the best type of guy. But uh,

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 6: PFL Challenger series for you Friday and then Metal Tube

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 6: to California. Is it going to be back out west

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 6: kid or what it is?

27
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 5: It was a long flight, you know.

28
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 7: I know you've been doing a lot of talking last night,

29
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 7: so let's pace ourselves today.

30
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 5: All right, So a lot to get to Obviously.

31
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 6: It was a huge UFC fight night in Columbus, Ohio,

32
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 6: and you know, as an American, we talked about this

33
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 6: a little bit on the program last week, like I

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 6: was really hoping the crowd would bring it after what

35
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 6: we saw in London.

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 5: And I can't thank the Ohio fight fans enough.

37
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 6: And I just think, big picture, it's a great fight town,

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 6: it's a great sports town. Those fans were loud as hell,

39
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 6: even though I could have done without some of the booze.

40
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 6: So I have to acknowledge the Columbus crowd off the top.

41
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 6: But let's get into the main event, man. I mean,

42
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 6: Curtis Blades had a fucking agenda and you could tell

43
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 6: in the fighter meeting and he said, really for three

44
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 6: or four fights now, like y'all got to stop sleeping

45
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 6: on my hands and nobody gives me a modicum of

46
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 6: credit for my boxing. Yeah, he was gonna go in

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 6: there and try to win a fight by knockout without

48
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 6: attempting a singular takedown, and fuck if he didn't do it, Ken.

49
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: Flump mission accomplished. You know.

50
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 7: Again, I think Curtis Blades is one of the more

51
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 7: difficult guys to bet for or against because there's certain nights.

52
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 5: Like last night, Well, he looks like a world beater.

53
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 7: You know, he's light on his feet, he's accurate, like

54
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 7: there's an educated jab, he's setting up his punches, his angles,

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 7: everything was looking really really good. And then there's other

56
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 7: times where you know, maybe he looks like he's not

57
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 7: really connected in the fi. Yeah, he's a little aloo

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 7: for you know, maybe a little too stiff. He looked

59
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 7: phenomenal last night, and again, a lot of people consider

60
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 7: his wrestling game as ground and pound the best part

61
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 7: of his game, and I think he's right. I think

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 7: we kind of on his striking skills. If he's able

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 7: to put together a night like that, that's gonna give

64
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 7: him way more options and way more pass to victory

65
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 7: because not only was he effective offensively, I'm not sure

66
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 7: he really got hit with many shots, one or two

67
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 7: maybe that I counted, but I thought he looked phenomenal.

68
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 5: It was great when for him. Excited for that guy.

69
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,359
Speaker 7: And again the confusion continues for me as to what

70
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 7: Curtis Blades is all about and how he's going to

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 7: compete on fight night, But it all connected for him

72
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 7: last night.

73
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 6: And it's also hard because you don't know exactly what

74
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 6: a guy's going through, you know, I think he's going

75
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 6: through some sort of separation. He has moved to Colorado,

76
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 6: which he thinks is obviously a great thing to just

77
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 6: be there year round and training at altitude and all

78
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,040
Speaker 6: of that stuff. And just to clarify, he did not

79
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 6: say in the fighter meeting that he wasn't going to

80
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 6: attempt to take down, but I sort of insinuated to

81
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 6: him in the fighter meeting. I said, hey, man, like,

82
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 6: if this is a kickboxing match, I'm not convinced you

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 6: don't win this thing going away, With all due respect

84
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 6: to Chris Dock, It's like, shouldn't you be able to beat.

85
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: This guy at a kickboxing match?

86
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 6: And he sort of said absolutely, so, he said after

87
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 6: the fact that, yes, the game plan was absolutely to

88
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 6: go in there and not wrestle. And I saw Cody

89
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 6: Donovan at the airport this morning and I was on

90
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 6: the phone but he just screamed, no wrestling, you know.

91
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 6: So they're very happy, obviously with this result. And Curtis

92
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 6: is a really good guy and I think he's responded

93
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 6: well to adversity in the past. There's a Dacas side

94
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 6: of this that we will get to. But ken Fall,

95
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 6: I just can't wrap my head around the fact that

96
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 6: Derek Lewis last December was a betting underdog against Chris Daccas.

97
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 6: Now it doesn't matter if you picked him or somebody

98
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 6: else picked him, that's not the point. R Curtis Blades

99
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 6: closed a north of five to one underdog against Chris Doccas, who,

100
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 6: not all that long ago, was a full time police officer,

101
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 6: you know. And you know, I'm encouraged by Doccas insofar

102
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 6: as I think he can still be relevant in the

103
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 6: top fifteen or so.

104
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 5: But you know, this is an appreciable setback.

105
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 6: And it's just amazing to think that, you know, a

106
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 6: knockout of Shamil up or Ahimob three months later can

107
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 6: make you favored against a guy and Derek Lewis, who's

108
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 6: the most decorated knockout ours in UFC history.

109
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 5: I just think that Dacas got fast tracked a little

110
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 5: bit too soon.

111
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 7: I think you're right on that it's not always clear

112
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 7: because you know, you get certain fights, you get certain wins,

113
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 7: or you have certain losses for that matter, that can

114
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 7: skew the perception of the fighter and what they're capable of.

115
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 7: Right And as you mentioned, there's a lot of personal

116
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 7: problems that happened. There are a lot of injuries that

117
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 7: happened that we don't know about, and we look at

118
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,680
Speaker 7: a you know, fighter's performance and we say they're done

119
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,719
Speaker 7: or they don't have it, or man, that ten second

120
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 7: knockout is crazy, this is gonna be the new star,

121
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 7: when in reality we still don't know a whole lot

122
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 7: about them. This was one of those fights for me unfortunately,

123
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 7: where for me, I think Chris Doccas was downgraded I

124
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 7: think a little bit because he couldn't find a way

125
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 7: to really be effective. He seemed like he was just

126
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 7: confused as to how to approach someone like Curtis Blades.

127
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 7: And it is a problem because if you do go

128
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 7: aggressively forward. Not only are you susceptible to counter strikes

129
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 7: or running into a jab in Curtis Blades, but also

130
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 7: in moving forward it allows them to hit a reactive takedown,

131
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 7: which Curtis Blades is known for as well. So he

132
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 7: was in a tough spot and I could see it.

133
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 7: He wasn't able to make the proper adjustments and was

134
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 7: getting hit with hard shots before that knockout, and to me,

135
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 7: it showed that he's not at the skill level to

136
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 7: be elite just yet. Doesn't mean he won't be, but

137
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 7: where he's at, I think we found out a lot

138
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 7: about Chris Daccas in this fight.

139
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: And for you and Michael Bisping and Daniel Cormier and

140
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 6: Joe Rogan, you guys are paid to be analysts, you're

141
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 6: paid to be critical. And Michael Bisping sometimes will say

142
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 6: I don't mean to be critical when in actuality, we're

143
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 6: not here to make friends. Now, for me, as a

144
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 6: play by play guy, you'll see me at times be critical,

145
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 6: but I try to do it in a soft way

146
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 6: and to that end, like it's hard for me to

147
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 6: criticize the Dawcas brothers, I do think the ceiling is

148
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 6: higher for Kyle, maybe that it is for Chris right now.

149
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 6: But I like all these fighters so much that it's

150
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 6: hard for me to crack a mic here on Sunday

151
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 6: morning and be super critical of Chris Dawcas. But I

152
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 6: do believe at times like his confidence sort of outweighed

153
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 6: his skill set a little bit. I do believe frame wise,

154
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 6: he could be a great light heavyweight. I do think

155
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 6: that he's committed. I don't know if he is as

156
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 6: all in as Kyle is in terms of his obsession

157
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 6: three hundred and sixty five days a year. But do

158
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 6: you think there is anything to Chris dawkas pushing the

159
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 6: reset button on his career right now despite the fact

160
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 6: that these are lots of Julia elite guys, uh, and

161
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 6: maybe try to see if his body can, you know,

162
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 6: get down to two twenty comfortably and go for that John.

163
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 5: I think that's.

164
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 7: Always a possibility, you know, as skill set wise, and

165
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 7: I also think it's a possibility for Chris, not that

166
00:07:58,200 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 7: you know everything about his weight cutting process, but for

167
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 7: looking from the outside in, I certainly think he can

168
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,280
Speaker 7: compete at two hundred and five pounds and do extremely

169
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 7: well in that division as well.

170
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 5: But I do think.

171
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 7: There needs to be a little bit more of a

172
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 7: different approach striking wise and how he integrates and puts

173
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 7: everything together. So yeah, he's gonna have to look into

174
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 7: things and see how he can adjust and see if

175
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 7: that moved to two hundred five pounds makes sense.

176
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 5: Now that might take six months, right, twelve.

177
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 6: Months, and my prediction is that he is not going

178
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 6: to do that. And I think from a matchmaking standpoint,

179
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 6: I'd like to see mcmahonard be a little bit strategic

180
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 6: with Chris Dawkins to try to sort of help build

181
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 6: him back up because the Derek Lewis fight, it was.

182
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 5: Just like whoa man?

183
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: You know?

184
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, and then they gave him a huge opportunity to

185
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 6: sort of right that wrong. And it is what it is.

186
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 6: But obviously this was the best version of Curtis Blades.

187
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 6: I mean, these guys are just raving about the work

188
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 6: that he has been putting in and it certainly paid

189
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 6: dividends as we spin it forward. I can tell you

190
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 6: John Jones training really hard, and I think that there

191
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 6: might be some news on the John Jones front at

192
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 6: some point in time. John Jones and Steve A. Miachich,

193
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 6: to me makes a whole lot of sense for an

194
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 6: interim UFC heavyweight championship. I don't know if sieedle Ghan

195
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 6: is going to get that opportunity immediately, you know, the

196
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 6: former interim champion. I think that Gone Blades fight makes

197
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 6: all the sense in the world. I said it immediately

198
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,400
Speaker 6: after Gone thought Francis and Ghano, and then of course

199
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 6: that would leave Tom aspinall and tie to Ivasa. I mean,

200
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 6: heavyweight's intriguing right now. Cam Global, what are your thoughts

201
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 6: on on Curtis Blades and who they might lock that

202
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 6: octagon door with him behind him with next?

203
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, I think you said it, Cyril Gone, Curtis Blades,

204
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 7: I think is a fight that makes a lot of sense. Now,

205
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 7: if I'm Curtis Blades, I'm kind of licking my chops here,

206
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 7: given that we saw Gon on his back and he

207
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 7: seemed like he really didn't have the skills to be

208
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 7: effective there. So Curtis Blades I think has the ability

209
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 7: now if he's able to put together a strikes and

210
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 7: move his feet like he was in that fight against

211
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 7: Dacas to be effective on the feet, and absolutely can

212
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 7: be very effective if he's able to put Gon on

213
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 7: his back. I think those are two real strong possibilities.

214
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 7: Curtis Blades looked phenomenal. If this is a sign of

215
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 7: things to come, I love that fight for him. That said,

216
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 7: Gone is also a master when he's at his best

217
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 7: in determining the range that he wants to fight at.

218
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 5: So that's a fight that makes sense.

219
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 7: I don't think Gon should just go right in there

220
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 7: for an interim belt at this stage. I think Jones

221
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 7: and Steve A makes more sense in my mind, based

222
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 7: on their pedigree and what they've accomplished in their career.

223
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 7: They've been around a very long time, and I think

224
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 7: you could absolutely sell a big fight between John Jones

225
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 7: and Steep.

226
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 6: Steve might be bigger in Ohio than you are in Boston.

227
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 6: I say that respectfully. I mean he is huge there.

228
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 6: Like he walked into the arena last night, and you know,

229
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 6: Joe Burrow, the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback, was in the building

230
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 6: last night and by the way, shout out to Joe

231
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 6: Burrow first Freedom.

232
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 5: I mean, he is all about it.

233
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 6: But I was like, who just walked into the arena

234
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 6: and they're like Steep A And I'm like, man, he's

235
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,560
Speaker 6: even more popular around these parts than I thought that

236
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 6: dude has the entire state of Ohio eating out of

237
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 6: his hands. So very exciting to see, you know when

238
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 6: I think back to you and me calling his main event,

239
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 6: in nodding him against Steep b. A. Miachich, And now

240
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 6: the dude's like an International Sports Hall of Famer.

241
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 5: It's crazy, so cool.

242
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 6: All right, heavyweight division in a good spot. And you know,

243
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 6: you gotta feel good for Curtis Blades too. I just

244
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 6: have to say, you know, spending a lot of time

245
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: around him, and you know, as a professional athlete in

246
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 6: fight sport, when you're charged with entertaining and you have

247
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 6: a speech impediment, not that fucking easy, right, you know,

248
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 6: like you.

249
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 5: Got to crack a mic.

250
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 6: And I thought he did a great job with the

251
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,079
Speaker 6: post fight interview, but it's hard, you know, you're constantly

252
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 6: asked for sound bites and your brain and your mouth

253
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 6: just don't want to fire.

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: You know. I got a lot of respect.

255
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 7: For him, Yeah, absolutely, And it seems like he was

256
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 7: in a much better are placed mentally.

257
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

258
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was.

259
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 5: Excited to be there.

260
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 7: It seems like he has a genuine passion for the

261
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,240
Speaker 7: sport and he's been fighting for a long time, and

262
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 7: he's experienced a lot of those ups and downs already

263
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 7: throughout his career. And sometimes we see fighters who aren't

264
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 7: able to deal with those ups and downs very well.

265
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 7: You know, volatility can mess with a person's brain a lot.

266
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 7: But for Curtis Blades, I think he believes in the process,

267
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 7: he believes in himself. Seems like he's in a good place,

268
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 7: and that was one of one of his best performances

269
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 7: by far.

270
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 6: And you start producing knockouts like this, people won't mind

271
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 6: seeing you fight Francis in Ghana a third time, even

272
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:43,000
Speaker 6: though you're two against him. I mean, huge, huge weekend

273
00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 6: for Curtis Razor Blades. I will circle back to the

274
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 6: Komain Evan, Alexa Grosso and Joanne Wood, but I want

275
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 6: to talk to you about Brian Barberina and Matt Brown.

276
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 5: It goes to Barberina by split decision.

277
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 6: It was the fight of the night, certainly one of

278
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 6: the more memorable fights that I've called over the last

279
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 6: several years. I know you thought Matt Brown won the fight,

280
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 6: as did a good segment of the base, of course,

281
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 6: as did the assembled masses there in Columbus, Ohio. But

282
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 6: what did you make of what was an absolute war

283
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,119
Speaker 6: as we expected it to be between Brown and Barberina.

284
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean we talked about it, but it's brilliant

285
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 7: matchmaking for both of those guys where they're at in

286
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:15,720
Speaker 7: their career.

287
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 5: Absolutely amazing fight. We saw a lot.

288
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 7: You know, I'm always fascinated by Matt Brown, a guy

289
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 7: who has been around forever, and those are the kind

290
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 7: of guys that it could be hard to kind of

291
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 7: teach them new tricks.

292
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 5: Now, He's always had, i think, a.

293
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 7: Versatile skill set from that clinch position, but he is

294
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 7: getting better, He's getting more confident in what he's doing,

295
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 7: and I'll put him up there, I'm telling you. With

296
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 7: guys like Anderson Silva, when it comes to being effective

297
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 7: in the TI clinch of combining knee elbow combinations, something

298
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 7: that many fighters do not do well, even at the

299
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 7: highest levels in the UFC, Matt Brown is absolutely elite

300
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:02,479
Speaker 7: in that regard. His foots, his knees, and his elbows

301
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 7: will always fire because one of those things are you're

302
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 7: gonna be vulnerable to one of those things. Matt Brown

303
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 7: knows how to set that up. You know, if you

304
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 7: posture up and you try to protect yourself from elbows.

305
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 7: You know, he's throwing knees to your body. If you're

306
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 7: trying to protect yourself from knees, he's going upstairs with elbows.

307
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 5: Again.

308
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,200
Speaker 7: If you're trying to protect both, he's footsweeping your ass.

309
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 5: It was just amazing.

310
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 7: And Brian Barberina, like Matt Brown, is one of the

311
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 7: toughest individuals I have ever seen compete. Just when you

312
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 7: think he's hurt and you're gonna take him out, he

313
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 7: fires a shot that hurts his opponent. It's just unbelievable,

314
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 7: both of their durability, their heart, the determination, their conditioning.

315
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 5: So I was blown away by the fight.

316
00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 7: No one lost that fight, As you know, you hate

317
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 7: to say that, that is absolutely the truth. I thought

318
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 7: it was a brilliant performance from both men. It was

319
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 7: an absolute classic. I'm happy for Matt Brown that he

320
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 7: had to have that. He he got a chance to

321
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 7: have a legendary fight like that again in Ohio and

322
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 7: but I guess we'll get into it.

323
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 5: But I guess that's all I have to say about that.

324
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 7: Brian Barbarina was landing huge shots, Matt Brown was landing

325
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,479
Speaker 7: huge shots. I thought Matt Brown had the better grappling exchanges.

326
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 7: But this was a back and forth affair that I

327
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 7: don't think was so easy to score. But I did

328
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 7: have for Matt Brown, so that's what I have on that.

329
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 7: I guess we can get it.

330
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean it was interesting, Kenny to see the

331
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 6: scorecards because the judge who did score the fight for

332
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 6: Matt Brown gave him the third round.

333
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 5: He didn't give him. This so interesting. I thought it

334
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: was interesting.

335
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 6: But Matt Brown thought he had banked a couple rounds

336
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 6: as Mark Coleman did the hammer. Mark Coleman came over

337
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 6: to broadcast booth immediately, and it's hard for us because

338
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 6: you know, we got a lot of stuff going on.

339
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 6: I mean, I thought it was a close fight. I

340
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 6: guess ultimately for me, I did have a two to

341
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 6: one for Barberina. But as I say every week, you

342
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 6: can toss out my scorecard, you know, I guess I

343
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 6: take exception. And I love Matt Brown, but him saying

344
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 6: that he felt like he got robbed, I think it's interesting.

345
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 6: In Columbus, Ohio, you know that there wasn't a little

346
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 6: bit of a lean from a judge to Brown. And

347
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 6: I'm glad there wasn't because you gotta not factor that

348
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 6: stuff in. But yeah, you just mentioned three words that

349
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 6: I wrote down, like heart determination, conditioning. Like I'm sitting

350
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 6: there watching this fight, and I'm thinking, like in my

351
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 6: inner monologue, like you fat fuck can't run a six

352
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 6: mile on the treadmill when these guys are doing this,

353
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 6: you know, like seriously, you know, like if they're men, Kenny, like,

354
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 6: what am I?

355
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: Like?

356
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 6: If they are men as a species, what am I?

357
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 6: Because they're different than I am, They're built different. Maybe

358
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 6: maybe maybe not, but listen, I think that here's the other.

359
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 5: Change for Matt Brown.

360
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 7: Because Matt Brown sometimes and we see it, you know

361
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 7: that you can call it pacing or whatever, but I

362
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 7: think at any level, you know, whether it's uh, you know,

363
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 7: nature right or a fight, we're looking to be as

364
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 7: efficient as possible. That to me is like the ultimate

365
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 7: sign of a beautifully moving machine.

366
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 5: Uh.

367
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 7: Matt Brown, to me seemed like he was the most

368
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 7: efficient he's been in a very very long time.

369
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 5: I agree.

370
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 7: The way he was grappling, he was leaning on uh

371
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 7: you know, barbarina instead of squeezing and like wasting energy

372
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 7: you're freaking out like uh, I thought he showed more techniques,

373
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 7: whereas Barbarina might have been landing like the shots that

374
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 7: he did land were all heavy, they were all effective,

375
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 7: and I think that might have swung the judges the

376
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 7: way of Barberina. And absolutely there's there, There's no doubt

377
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 7: about it. He was landing a lot of effective shots.

378
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,840
Speaker 7: But when I'm looking at the full picture, for me,

379
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 7: and again I know this isn't a criteria for judge

380
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 7: for judging a fight, but Matt Brown's overall mixed martial

381
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 7: arts skill, I thought he showed a better display of that.

382
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 7: It wasn't just overhand, right, it was knees, it was elbows,

383
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 7: it was grappling, and some of those some of those

384
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 7: rounds were close striking wise, But I thought Matt Brown's

385
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 7: attempts and his control with the grappling and in his

386
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:09,000
Speaker 7: aggression moving forward was the difference in my mind. I

387
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 7: had the first two rounds from Matt Brown. I thought

388
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 7: the rap Leau exchange just put him over the top.

389
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 7: And the third round I clearly had for Barbarina. So

390
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 7: either way, amazing fight. I was thoroughly entertained and I

391
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 7: was happy for both those men who just continue to

392
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 7: deliver exciting action.

393
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think that's all fair and you put it well.

394
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 6: And when I hear you set it up like that,

395
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 6: it kind of makes me lean a little bit that

396
00:18:34,160 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 6: way when you think about the overall mixed martial arts

397
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 6: skill set that was sort of put on display by

398
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 6: Matt Brown there. I got a couple notes on both

399
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 6: of these guys before we move on. So, Brian Barberina

400
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 6: fought out his contract. He now wants to fight Robbi Lawler.

401
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 6: He says he's going to retire if he doesn't get

402
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:52,800
Speaker 6: a new deal from the UFC. He tried to renegotiate

403
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 6: with the UFC to get a new deal before this fight,

404
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 6: and they kind of went dark on him. So obviously

405
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 6: with a I mean, he'll fight anybody any time. Maybe

406
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 6: not any time, needs a training camp, but he literally

407
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 6: will fight anybody on the roster that you put on

408
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 6: the contract.

409
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 5: You know.

410
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 6: So that's a good guy to have in the welterweight division.

411
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 6: You know, he's gonna entertain. I hope he gets a

412
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 6: new contract. But just in terms of what he's doing

413
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: in his life, right, he left Arizona, Right, it's the

414
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 6: bamfam farm in Tennessee, the Barberina family farm, and it's

415
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 6: him and his wife and the three kids are really

416
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 6: leaned upon heavily on the farm. And I don't know

417
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 6: if you heard us say this on the broadcast. I

418
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 6: think we were in commercial right. But if I went

419
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 6: downstairs after this podcast and said to my daughters, hey, guys,

420
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 6: we want to sort of live a more sustainable life,

421
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 6: and you know, whatever it is, I can't put it

422
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 6: well in terms of helping the invit what we're gonna

423
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 6: we're gonna, you know, because farming is like hard shit.

424
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 5: My daughters would be like, where's the dad's store. I

425
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 5: need a new dad. We're not doing any of that,

426
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:52,879
Speaker 5: you know.

427
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 6: And I just have so much respect for Brian and

428
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 6: his wife and the family, you know, and it makes

429
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,199
Speaker 6: me think about some of my parenting, right, Like my

430
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,880
Speaker 6: daughters would be like, no fucking way, I'm not gonna

431
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 6: dig a ditch. I'm not gonna milk a cow, like

432
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 6: fuck you dad, you know. So I need to harden

433
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: up my daughters a little bit. But you know, Barbarina

434
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 6: named one of his son's jail you gotta love him

435
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 6: all right on the Matt brown side, if I may,

436
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 6: Unless you have anything on the Bamfam farm, you no.

437
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 5: I think I think it's amazing. I think it's amazing.

438
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 7: We're actually building gardens now in our backyard, so.

439
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 5: We're we're trying to start early.

440
00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 7: I think that's the key is we're having our daughter

441
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 7: kind of you know, water stuff and help around and

442
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 7: then you know it comes like a normal life. But

443
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 7: uh yeah, man, that's crazy farm. There's always work to do.

444
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 7: We oh yeah, yeah.

445
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 6: The Barbarina family literally got in the car from Columbus,

446
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 6: Ohio and drove home to take care of the animals

447
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 6: in Tennessee right after the fight.

448
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 5: Amazing.

449
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, uh yeah, my daughters want a dog, they

450
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 6: want a garden. They just don't want to take care

451
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 6: of any of it. And I really hope my store

452
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,200
Speaker 6: is closed right now. Getting fucking blasted on the Aedneic

453
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 6: and Flooring podcast, Love you all right. On the Matt

454
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 6: Brown front, he's forty one years of age, and Matt

455
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 6: Brown is very dismissive of age as a factor in

456
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 6: any of this. And you know, I'm forty three years

457
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 6: old and it's harder, you know, I think in terms

458
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,360
Speaker 6: of working out and you know, just your body, and

459
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 6: you know, my wrists are even getting bigger, Like I

460
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 6: need to get my watches resize. There are just certain

461
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,320
Speaker 6: things that happen as you get older. So here's Matt

462
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 6: Brown of forty one years old. I thought, by and large,

463
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 6: this was a sensational performance. But he wants a new

464
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 6: eight fight deal. You know, he was talking a lot

465
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 6: about a new eight fight deal. He wants to fight

466
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,040
Speaker 6: until he's fifty, and really was hoping that a win

467
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 6: last night might have helped him work his way into

468
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 6: the top ten because he still has championship aspirations and

469
00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 6: it is amazing what he has accomplished since he was

470
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 6: eleven and ten and on the back end of three

471
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 6: straight losses in the UFC at twenty ten we were

472
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 6: filming MMA Live. We thought he got cut. You know,

473
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 6: he was eleven and ten. Yeah right, Sorry about that

474
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 6: erroneous porting back in the day. Hope you'll forgive us.

475
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 6: But I just think that it's not that there's delusion.

476
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 6: You know, far be it for me to put anything

477
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 6: past Matt Brown. But you can't just outlast the clock forever.

478
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 6: And you know, the wars I don't think are going

479
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 6: to help him fight.

480
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: Until he's fifty. But I guess we'll see. Yeah, No,

481
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 5: it's really doesn't help Matt Brown's amazing. You know, the.

482
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 7: How he was able to turn things around at that

483
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 7: point in his career is something that really should be commended,

484
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 7: and it's something that's very rare in the fight game

485
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 7: in general, no matter if boxing, MMA, kickboxing, and that

486
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 7: takes an insane amount of mental fortitude. He certainly has that,

487
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 7: and I think believing in your age has certainly has

488
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,959
Speaker 7: something to do with it. But the reality is is

489
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,919
Speaker 7: are you know how you feel and what your body

490
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 7: has gone through will have an effect on you. I

491
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 7: hope that for Matt Brown's sake that you know, he

492
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 7: doing a great job of securing his money and putting

493
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 7: that away. I know he's in a bitcoin which is

494
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 7: freaking awesome. But yeah, we can't fight forever, right, we

495
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 7: just can't physically. But you know, I know Matt's kind

496
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 7: of a quiet guy. But I think there's other opportunities

497
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 7: for him in the mixed martial arts game. I think

498
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 7: especially as a coach, you know, I mean that dude

499
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 7: has an insane amount of experience and obviously knows what

500
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 7: the hell he's doing as a fighter in a lot

501
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 7: of aspects that I think he could help a lot

502
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,959
Speaker 7: of fighters out there as well, and I think his

503
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 7: story would be amazing as far as a book.

504
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 5: You look at his personal Oh yeah, he's at now.

505
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 7: But anyways, I love watching him fight, man, but I agree,

506
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 7: you can't fight forever. I would hate for him to

507
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 7: get injured to the point where now he he's.

508
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 5: Forced to retire.

509
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,440
Speaker 7: You know, it's always good, I think when you see

510
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 7: a fighter kind of go into his retirement on his terms.

511
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 5: Right, it's tough.

512
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 6: I mean, he's got a coffee company, he has his

513
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 6: Immortal Martial Arts Center, but he's just so obsessed with

514
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,920
Speaker 6: martial arts and training.

515
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 5: Hardest working room. He doesn't want to do anything else,

516
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 5: you know.

517
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 6: And I get it all right, A lot to unpack,

518
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,879
Speaker 6: and no better man to unpack it with than the

519
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 6: ageless Raymond Longo.

520
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 5: Let's get to the ray Longam could.

521
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 6: Not be happier to be aligned with our next partner,

522
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 6: largely because they have a product that I actually use

523
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 6: every day.

524
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 5: It's called ag One.

525
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 6: So I was looking for a way to improve my

526
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 6: gut health, my immune system, just my overall energy level,

527
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 6: and candidly, I wanted to see what all the hype

528
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,959
Speaker 6: about Athletic Greens was about my twin brother had been

529
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,440
Speaker 6: taking AG one for one hundred and fifty days. I've

530
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:33,159
Speaker 6: now been taking it for thirty days, and I absolutely

531
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 6: love it. Tastes good, kind of a mild tropical taste,

532
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 6: and one that I look forward to every morning, especially

533
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,560

534
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,679

00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:14,679
Speaker 4: Yes? Yeah, yeah?

585
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 5: Did you get a haircut or did you just look

586
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 5: particularly good today?

587
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 4: No? I got a haircut, But thanks for noticing, John,

588
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 4: I appreciate that I combed it.

589
00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,600
Speaker 5: I'm pretty obsessed with men's hair if people haven't.

590
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 4: But you know, I heard you talk about Matt Brown. Man,

591
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 4: I mean, at forty one to fight that type of

592
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,959
Speaker 4: fight is absolutely insane. But man, what a I mean

593
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: if there was ever a time for a goddamn home

594
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: field advantage or what that was? It? I would have

595
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 4: had no problem with that. No.

596
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 5: I was just saying.

597
00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 6: I was saying, like I thought, this is going to

598
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 6: be the situation if you're a judge, where you're like,

599
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 6: you know what. But the problem is the third round

600
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 6: clearly wasn't his. You know, yeah, the so anyway, Ray,

601
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 6: how did you score that fight?

602
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 5: Did you see?

603
00:27:58,480 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 9: Well?

604
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 4: I had listen, I just went through this, you know,

605
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: we were just talking about it. You know, there's certain

606
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 4: fights when you want somebody to win, you just start

607
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 4: looking at every hang. That's that's the problem. And I

608
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 4: feel like that's why I could never be a judge,

609
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: because I couldn't be fair. You know, I'm always gonna

610
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: lean towards the guy and then you start coming up

611
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 4: with shit. So I thought for him being in Ohio,

612
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 4: the way he fought, right, I go, I'm giving I

613
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,440
Speaker 4: don't give his ship. I'm giving that fight to him,

614
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:26,160
Speaker 4: you know what I mean.

615
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 6: Judges, the judge who scored it for Brown, I think

616
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 6: adopted that philosophy because he had it.

617
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: One one through two.

618
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, he gave Brown the third round because he's probably

619
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:38,800
Speaker 6: like fuck it, man.

620
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 3: Yeah that's it.

621
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 4: Man. If there's any time, let's get the crowd going crazy. Yeah,

622
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: you know, but uh, Barbarina did a great job and

623
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 4: he finished really strong, and I think that was a

624
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 4: huge part of what you saw. The last part of

625
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: what you saw was an exhausted Matt Brown but still pushing.

626
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: Man.

627
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 4: I mean, it's just a great story with Coleman screaming

628
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 4: his lungs out in the corner. I mean, it was,

629
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 4: it was. It was great, man, it was great. So

630
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 4: if there's ever a time for that, I'm one hundred

631
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: percent behind it. I go, that was the time.

632
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 6: I don't know how much you heard of what we

633
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 6: were saying, but the ability to push through the wall.

634
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 6: For Matt Brown, obviously he can lean on the conditioning,

635
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 6: but for me, it's the guy who works out six

636
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 6: or seven, seven days a week, Like I can't. I

637
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 6: wish like this would inspire me to be better, Like

638
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 6: I just can't relate to just the mental and physical toughness.

639
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 6: I was truly in awe watching Matt Brown in particular,

640
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 6: like how he just pushed through every fucking wall.

641
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 4: Yeah no, now, really really impressive and uh yeah no

642
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 4: it was.

643
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 9: Uh.

644
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 4: I don't think it gets any more entertaining than that fight.

645
00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 4: And I just I'm blown away by his age. I'm

646
00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 4: putting everything into the you know, into the conversation. It's

647
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 4: just a forty one to get into a wall like

648
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 4: that is nuts, you know what I mean. It's not

649
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 4: like you could relax on the wrestling maybe still or

650
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 4: like Henderson had that one bomb. If he hit anybody

651
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 4: was going down. So he was always in the fight

652
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 4: no matter what. But this was a grueling, taxing fight

653
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 4: against a younger guy and you know who's very durable.

654
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 4: So it was I thought it was the fans got

655
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 4: what they wanted. I hope, I hope they take care

656
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 4: of him. I really do. He deserves it.

657
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:18,880
Speaker 5: I agree.

658
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 6: So we were talking about Curtis Blades off the top

659
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 6: of the show, and in our fighter meeting, I said

660
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,719
Speaker 6: to him, like, if this is a kickboxing match, how

661
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 6: do you handicap it. I didn't know at that time

662
00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 6: that he wasn't going to attempt a singular takedown, but

663
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 6: kind of thought, if this was just a striking match

664
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 6: up under the glory kickboxing banner, that Curtis Blades beats

665
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 6: Chris Daccas in that setting. What were your thoughts on

666
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 6: Blades's approach and the fact that he didn't attempt a

667
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 6: single takedown and still got the biggest knockout of his career.

668
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: Well, I think, you know, it was funny because we

669
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,200
Speaker 4: I think everybody probably thought he was going to get

670
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 4: that fight to the floor. He makes he makes it

671
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 4: pretty clear that that's what he wants to do, and

672
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,520
Speaker 4: he doesn't care what anybody thinks. Right, But I think

673
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,959
Speaker 4: as Corner probably told him in between, let's go in

674
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 4: to the guy, you know, like, let's let's do it.

675
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 4: And I think that's probably what he did. Very a

676
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 4: lot of respect on both ends, right. I think you

677
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 4: got to give the first round of Dorcas just on

678
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 4: inactivity of Blades maybe, but he came out and he

679
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 4: made sure that wasn't gonna happen. I think, uh, you know,

680
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,440
Speaker 4: as much as I was pulling for Dorcas because he's

681
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 4: an East Coast guy, it was a great win for

682
00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: Blades coming off, you know, a knockout laws to the

683
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: other guy. So that's why I say, in the first round,

684
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, man, is he apprehensive because of what happened

685
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 4: to him the last fight, or does he really respect

686
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 4: you know, Dorcas is striking, so maybe a combination.

687
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 5: Of aucas won the first round.

688
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:39,440
Speaker 4: Well, there was what happened in the first round? It

689
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:39,920
Speaker 4: was nothing.

690
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 6: No, I think Curtis like bloodied up tacas. If I'm

691
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,840
Speaker 6: not mistaken. I think it was.

692
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 4: One one, one one punch. I think he hit them.

693
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, it wasn't a ton of volume, but yeah, yeah,

694
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 5: it was.

695
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 4: Definitely not a vibe. I don't know who, I don't

696
00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:54,440
Speaker 4: know who to give it, but I'm just saying it was.

697
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 4: It was very inactive.

698
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 6: So I just wanted to get your thoughts on Chris

699
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 6: Doccas real quick before we move on. Right, goes from

700
00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 6: four and oh as a UFC heavyweight and then favored

701
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 6: against Derek Lewis last December to now four and two

702
00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,400
Speaker 6: and on the back end of two just vicious knockout losses.

703
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 6: So you're Chris Doccas's head coach, Will Martinez, are you

704
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 6: pushing the reset button trying to see if physically he

705
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 6: can get himself down to light heavyweight?

706
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 5: Like? What are you doing with Chris Doccas right now?

707
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,800
Speaker 6: Because he left his career as a police officer, went

708
00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 6: all in on MMA, and now all of a sudden,

709
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 6: just four months after being undefeated in the UFC. You

710
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 6: can argue he's in a must win situations next time.

711
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, he's a he's in a really tough spot

712
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 4: right now. It's funny. I was on the bus with him.

713
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 4: I forget where the hell we were, but I was like,

714
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,440
Speaker 4: you know, we were talking about being a police officer

715
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:44,800
Speaker 4: in Philly, and you know they were you know, what

716
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,960
Speaker 4: was going on, and you know they were all the

717
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 4: changes and you know, to fund the police type of crap.

718
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 4: And I was like, man, never lose that job, because

719
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: I know on Long Island it's a it's a home run.

720
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 4: I mean, the benefits are crazy, the pension is crazy,

721
00:32:58,000 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 4: the money is craized. So I was like, man, if

722
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 4: you could both, it's like it's like found money, Like

723
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 4: you know that you don't, you know, when you don't

724
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 4: have to make money, it's easy to make money, right.

725
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 4: So he I don't even think. I think he quit.

726
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 4: Like a month after I talk to him, I go,

727
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 4: I guess that conversation, I say, the guys, yeah, I

728
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 4: three A month later, he just retired. Yeah. I was like,

729
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,880
Speaker 4: hotly cry, I guess I'm good at what I do

730
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 4: because he didn't listen to me. But I always like

731
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,239
Speaker 4: those jobs, like you know, the teachers and stuff like that,

732
00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 4: they get set up. I think in the long run,

733
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 4: they end up better than a lot of other people

734
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 4: that don't have uh you know, even an entrepreneur who's

735
00:33:36,880 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 4: making money but doesn't invest it right or whatever something

736
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 4: like that. These guys are steady, Eddy, and after twenty

737
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 4: five years, twenty years, there's this set man. They got

738
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,960
Speaker 4: a nice income coming in and I thought that's the

739
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 4: way to go for him. I thought, you know, he's

740
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 4: he was doing great, he was winning, and it seemed

741
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: like a good combo. So where do you go with him? Yeah,

742
00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 4: you got to hit the reset button and look for

743
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: the right type of fights to get his confidence back

744
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,480
Speaker 4: and you know, let him, uh you know, work on

745
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 4: new things without being under extreme amount of pressure. But unfortunately,

746
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 4: in the USC, it doesn't work like that. You know,

747
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 4: he's going to get another tough fight and uh, he's

748
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,280
Speaker 4: gonna have to dig down deep. I think he's he's

749
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 4: gritty as hell, and I think he could do it.

750
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 4: But you know, look Derek Lewis and Curtis Blades at

751
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: the top of the top, and now we see Derek

752
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 4: Lewis even having problems, right, But he's always going to

753
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:30,120
Speaker 4: have that ability to get you out of there with

754
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:30,760
Speaker 4: one punch.

755
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 8: So I will here right away on the stool, like

756
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 8: he was right back, And he was in a really

757
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,919
Speaker 8: good place mentally on the shuttle to the airport this morning.

758
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 6: I mean, I that's one of the harder navigations for me,

759
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,719
Speaker 6: right with losing coaches and fighters on the bus the

760
00:34:47,719 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 6: morning after, and und.

761
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,080
Speaker 5: He was in a really good place.

762
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 6: And I think, speculator, if I speculate, I would say

763
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 6: he's in a much better place now after going through

764
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 6: the Derek Lewis experience, Like all right, I'm just gonna

765
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 6: dust myself often do this again. I think he'll be

766
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 6: able to come out of this one a little bit

767
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 6: quicker than the last one. A couple other performances I

768
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:08,280
Speaker 6: want to highlight before we talk about Al jamn sterling.

769
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 5: You getting anxious for April ninth or what?

770
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I love it, love it?

777
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 6: Houston when in two weeks you're going to be rivals.

778
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:32,880
Speaker 4: So look, I have no idea. He was Peteyn's manager

779
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:36,359
Speaker 4: and we're talking and he's telling me, you know, like

780
00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 4: the ref blue to cool. I'm like, what are you

781
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 4: talking about? It goes well, then was never meant to

782
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 4: be illegal?

783
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:42,960
Speaker 5: Like how to fuck do you know that?

784
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 4: Look, I have no idea, and I'm like, wow, this

785
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 4: is somebody's bringing up like another point. I'm like, ten

786
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 4: minutes goes by and he starts talking about he's booking

787
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 4: Peter f p flight. Wait, I go manager.

788
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 5: I couldn't.

789
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: I couldn't stop laughing.

790
00:35:57,760 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 5: I I'm going to even know that.

791
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, well he was making a case for that

792
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:05,640
Speaker 4: illegal me and I'm like, I never heard anybody say

793
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,839
Speaker 4: this before. That's really fucking sid do it. It was hysterical

794
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,319
Speaker 4: when I found out I had no idea, and I

795
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 4: was like, it's definitely a different way of looking at it.

796
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,799
Speaker 4: But yeah, you know, but we have we had fun

797
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 4: and it's looking that's the that's the beauty of, you know,

798
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,759
Speaker 4: being on opposite side. You could argue and then you

799
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 4: have breakfast with your jail and that's the way it

800
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,240
Speaker 4: should be instead of you know, what you say everybody,

801
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,040
Speaker 4: you know, the divisiveness even in this country, right, nobody

802
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 4: get along, but have the argument, go out and have

803
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 4: lunch man. That's it. That's it, that's end the story.

804
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 4: It's the way it should be.

805
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 5: How much more time do you have today?

806
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 4: Now? I'm gonna have all right, So.

807
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 6: Alexa Grosso real quickly and the co Maine event against

808
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 6: Joanne would masterful performance. She showed us a lot on

809
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 6: her wrestling, her jiu jitsu. As we said on the

810
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 6: broadcast first career submission, win found the right weight class.

811
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 6: You know, Kenny and I called some of her early fights,

812
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 6: if memory serves maybe not. I think her debut happened

813
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:00,320
Speaker 6: just after Kentville left. But so much has been acted

814
00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 6: of this woman, and she's just worked so hard and

815
00:37:03,040 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 6: it's all coming together and I'm just really happy for her.

816
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 6: And I know there's a Joanne woodside to this, but Ray,

817
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 6: I just want to get your thoughts on Grosso and uh,

818
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 6: you know her chops now as a UFC women's flyweight content.

819
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 4: Look, she's got everything it takes right, she's got she's

820
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 4: got the looks, she's got the talent. I think her

821
00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 4: boxing is is spot on she is hot.

822
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 5: She's hot. Yeah, you know what I mean, Well, you

823
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:29,080
Speaker 5: lead with the look.

824
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,120
Speaker 4: I mean, she's I mean, look at a personality. Man,

825
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 4: she's a she's a sweetie.

826
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 5: No, you led with her looks though, yeah, you know

827
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 5: you don't.

828
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:45,640
Speaker 4: Have to be like a creepy old guy. She's got

829
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 4: the look, Kenny, She's got the look. And I hear this.

830
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:56,399
Speaker 5: John doesn't get out much, you know.

831
00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 4: Ship po poor, poor Chrissy, Chrissy, my condolences.

832
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:03,800
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, I'm telling you, Yeah, she's gonna go

833
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:04,280
Speaker 5: to the husband.

834
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: But anyway, I think she's uh, it's just looking great

835
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 4: to me. She looks really good and she's like again,

836
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 4: she's always learning. And last night I was talking to

837
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 4: TJ on Extra rounds if anybody gives you shit. But

838
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 4: but you know, Mazuki fought her and Invictor that's right, yeah,

839
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:26,879
Speaker 4: and he said it was a great fight. I didn't

840
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 4: really remember it. But she's really come a long way

841
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,320
Speaker 4: based even on that. So yeah, yeah, she's in the

842
00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 4: right spot, right where she wants to be.

843
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 6: And of course she's one of the few women at

844
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 6: one hundred and twenty five pounds that has yet to

845
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 6: face Valentina Shipchanko and she's perfect in the weight class.

846
00:38:41,880 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 6: So yeah, certainly big things ahead for Alexa Grosso and

847
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 6: uh Brandon. Moreno obviously was the first to break through

848
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 6: for Mexico, but she is just so proud of her

849
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,960
Speaker 6: Mexican heritage and being a homegrown fighter that if she

850
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 6: could break through, it would just be absolutely enormous. Not

851
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,680
Speaker 6: unlike Moreno, I think in terms of her star power,

852
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 6: finances and everything else, she's she's on the way.

853
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:03,719
Speaker 4: And look, both of them have their personalities are just

854
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:08,760
Speaker 4: really yeah, unbelievable, right. This' just you can't dislike either

855
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 4: of them, Like more even Moreno's just that nice people

856
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:16,160
Speaker 4: that fight, would fight with heart and bulls and just yeah,

857
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 4: you know, it's just it's great, man, I'm not I'm

858
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 4: happy for both of them.

859
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 6: That's my favorite word to hear Race say the way

860
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 6: New Yorkers say balls.

861
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:27,920
Speaker 5: Yno Moreno especially fights with balls.

862
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 6: I find yeah, I would say so, Joanne Wood, Perhaps

863
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,439
Speaker 6: the submission defense left a little bit.

864
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 5: You never know these days, right.

865
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 4: Right, yeah, right, who knows? You know? I identify as

866
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:39,359
Speaker 4: a kangaroo right now.

867
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,239
Speaker 5: Yeah. If you go to Ray long A on Instagram,

868
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:44,360
Speaker 5: that is exactly what exactly.

869
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:49,320
Speaker 6: So would submission defense left a little bit to be desired.

870
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 6: I just didn't think she was urgent at all in

871
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 6: terms of fighting the hands. And you know, she was

872
00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 6: supposed to fight Valentina for the title that UFC two

873
00:39:56,800 --> 00:39:59,399
Speaker 6: fifty one of the rare instances in which Valentina had

874
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 6: to pull out the injury.

875
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 5: And now it's three straight losses for Joe Anne Wood.

876
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 6: And you know, I think she's a little bit conflicted

877
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 6: because she loves her steps on Mavericks so dearly. She

878
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 6: wants to be a mother, and she still works hard.

879
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,600
Speaker 6: She's still you know, as ken Flow says, like a

880
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:14,680
Speaker 6: nasty prick on fight night, like the main streak is

881
00:40:14,680 --> 00:40:17,600
Speaker 6: still there, the desire is still there. But I think

882
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:20,359
Speaker 6: at this point, you know, the title contention goes away

883
00:40:20,360 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 6: with three straight losses.

884
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 5: You know, I don't know how many more times we

885
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:23,640
Speaker 5: see each other.

886
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,480
Speaker 4: And yeah, and think about that, that's got to stink.

887
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 4: You're right there for a title shot which could be

888
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,360
Speaker 4: life changing. Yeah, and then this happens, and you know,

889
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 4: she is a you know, she seems like another sweetheart

890
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 4: and that's it stinks. But yeah, she was very close

891
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,800
Speaker 4: and now she probably couldn't be further away, so mentally,

892
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 4: who knows how that's playing on a two?

893
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,600
Speaker 6: All right, Ken Flow, I know I've been wrong, probably

894
00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 6: more than I've been right, but I could not understand

895
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,400
Speaker 6: why Kai Cara France was a near plus four hundred

896
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 6: underdog against Oscar oscarob And as much as I love

897
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 6: Oscar rob and again everybody when I would say that

898
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 6: to during fight week about Ky, They're like, dude, you

899
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 6: just don't know how good Ascar is, right, Everybody who

900
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 6: has seen him in the gym just absolutely fucking raves.

901
00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:07,839
Speaker 5: But Kay's just a dog.

902
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,839
Speaker 6: Kenny, you know, and you know you're not gonna out

903
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,839
Speaker 6: condition him, and he's very well coached. And you know,

904
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 6: Eugene Barman was not in his corner for the Garbrand fight.

905
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,120
Speaker 6: He's a very calming influence for him. Your thoughts on

906
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 6: Car Front's potentially taking Oscarov's number two ranking.

907
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:29,920
Speaker 5: Kenny KKF is a jude, Okay, He's he loves to

908
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:30,759
Speaker 5: fight too.

909
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 7: Like there was a point where Askaroff after the first

910
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,120
Speaker 7: round kind of like sunned them, like pushed him out,

911
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,960
Speaker 7: and it was an Askaroff round and I was like, huh, interesting,

912
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 7: let's see how he responds.

913
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:44,200
Speaker 5: And dude, he pepped up.

914
00:41:44,600 --> 00:41:46,920
Speaker 7: He basically said, in his mind, it looked like he

915
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 7: was like, I know everything that he can do to me.

916
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 7: That was everything that this guy has. I'm gonna make

917
00:41:51,280 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 7: the proper adjustments and I'm gonna beat him up. And

918
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 7: that's exactly what he did. He made the adjustments. He

919
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 7: kept him on the outside. There was, you know, one

920
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:01,360
Speaker 7: time where he did get back taken. He did the

921
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 7: little hula hoop escape, got on top and stuck to

922
00:42:04,520 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 7: the game plan. And you see, he loved to be

923
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,040
Speaker 7: there that night, even when he was in the tough spots,

924
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 7: he loved to be there. He stayed present, he was

925
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:17,640
Speaker 7: firing back, and I had the feeling that things were

926
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 7: starting to shift and we're gonna go kay car Frantz's way.

927
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,759
Speaker 7: And absolutely he did that. And this was you know,

928
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 7: and maybe this was why the odds were so much

929
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:30,680
Speaker 7: in favor of Askarov was this is a terrible matchup

930
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 7: for him. This was a terrible matchup for him, and

931
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 7: we saw a little bit of why that was the case.

932
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 5: But this is a different KKF. This guy is really tough.

933
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 7: Watch out for that guy in that division because not

934
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,760
Speaker 7: only are his skills coming together, it's probably coming together

935
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 7: because of what's going on in here in his head.

936
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,920
Speaker 7: He believes in the process, he believes in himself, and

937
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 7: when those things come together mentally, physically, spiritually, technically, watch

938
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,960
Speaker 7: out for that dude. And that dude right now is

939
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:00,920
Speaker 7: Kai Car France.

940
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:06,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred percent agree. What a beautiful fight, Just

941
00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 4: a beautiful fight, and for reasons, Kenny said, Man, he

942
00:43:09,840 --> 00:43:11,480
Speaker 4: gave him a shove at the end of the round.

943
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 4: He had to have that guy on his back for

944
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:18,879
Speaker 4: five minutes, and man, he just are you cut out?

945
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: Checking your cut out?

946
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 6: Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you, but somebody was

947
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 6: suggesting that maybe Oscar pushed him off because Kai was

948
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 6: like raking his eyes or I didn't see any of that,

949
00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 6: but it seemed like some people were suggesting that maybe

950
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 6: there was something that Oscar.

951
00:43:33,719 --> 00:43:36,200
Speaker 5: Took exception to and that's why the shove got happened.

952
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I bet I don't know, but he still shouldn't

953
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:45,879
Speaker 4: have shoved him. And I'm just so happy that Kai

954
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 4: came back and just pushed those next two rounds and

955
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:51,319
Speaker 4: unequivocally won that fight. I think Danny was saying that

956
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 4: breakfast that was split like people thought Oscar of when

957
00:43:54,840 --> 00:43:58,399
Speaker 4: I had that fight one hundred and fifty for Kai

958
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 4: caira France, he had the moment them and he h,

959
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 4: I thought he did a great job in that, And

960
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: you're right, he took the best that guy had to

961
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 4: n and he came back and he he he he

962
00:44:09,719 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 4: wobbled him a couple of times. And uh and to

963
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 4: to Askarov's you know credit too, he he shook it

964
00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:16,439
Speaker 4: off and he came back.

965
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 5: You know.

966
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 4: But what a great fight for that kid. He definitely

967
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:21,520
Speaker 4: one hundred deserves the title shout. I don't think there's

968
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 4: anybody that wouldn't want to see him fight moreno or uh,

969
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:28,120
Speaker 4: you know the guy, I think he earned it with that,

970
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 4: with that shot, I'm sure they would have given Askaroff

971
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 4: the title fight off for that.

972
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 7: Kai was so effective that he was forcing Ascroft to

973
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,279
Speaker 7: stand up and trade with him. Now, Askroff is he's

974
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 7: not you know, he wasn't shy there, but he certainly

975
00:44:40,040 --> 00:44:42,560
Speaker 7: had the advantage there. He was way more technical as

976
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,600
Speaker 7: a striker than Askroff was. Askroff hits hard, but you

977
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,799
Speaker 7: could see Ascroff was very frustrated and was forced into

978
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 7: Kay's game, and so I think that's kind of what

979
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 7: made it so beautiful that the adjustment for the first

980
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 7: round to where he was at the last round.

981
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:57,279
Speaker 5: It was just a masterpiece.

982
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. Great.

983
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:05,040
Speaker 6: Yeah is eighty percent deaf and just a tremendous individual.

984
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,120
Speaker 6: For all of his perseverance, he had a pretty invasive

985
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 6: risk surgery, so he was out for a year, you know,

986
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,719
Speaker 6: so perhaps that was a factor. But yeah, Kai car

987
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:16,839
Speaker 6: Franz is the total package, right, like tuned in enough

988
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 6: to do the ohio on the microphone.

989
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:20,319
Speaker 5: You know, he can promote a fight.

990
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 6: He has a crowd pleasing style, he's got the look right,

991
00:45:23,440 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 6: He's an attractive man, right if I can say that,

992
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 6: ran Yeah, you know, totally.

993
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 4: No, He's He's on a fricking roll every which way possible.

994
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,359
Speaker 4: He's right where he wants to be, and I think

995
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 4: he's got a lot of support behind him. Now, look,

996
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,719
Speaker 4: I'm a huge based on even that fight, I'm I'm

997
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,840
Speaker 4: a big fan of Kai Caraphrance. I think he's I

998
00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,120
Speaker 4: just like everything about him. His attitude, the way he

999
00:45:44,160 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 4: handles himself in the octagon, on the microphone, just a

1000
00:45:48,480 --> 00:45:50,799
Speaker 4: great It seems like a great kid, and he's got

1001
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,680
Speaker 4: a great future in front of him.

1002
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 6: Man, So in twenty fourteen, if you would have told

1003
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 6: me that Neil Magne would one day tie George Saint

1004
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 6: Pierre for the UFC welterweight wins record, I would have

1005
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 6: probably said, Hey, if Magne ties GSP, I'll get the

1006
00:46:05,520 --> 00:46:10,640
Speaker 6: Canadian flag tattooed on my forehead. You know, nineteen wins.

1007
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 6: He started zero to two in the UFC. Kenny, I mean,

1008
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 6: Magne getting it done now. I happen to think Max

1009
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 6: Griffin had banked a couple of rounds, but I guess

1010
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:18,959
Speaker 6: that's either here nor there. It was a close fight,

1011
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 6: split decisions for Neil Magne. Ray, you got any thoughts

1012
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:21,560
Speaker 6: on that.

1013
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I would have probably I like Neil Magnet,

1014
00:46:24,680 --> 00:46:26,360
Speaker 4: but I probably would have given a fight to Griffin.

1015
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 4: I thought he I thought he won the first two rounds,

1016
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 4: but the other guy was coming back towards the end

1017
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:35,800
Speaker 4: of the second round. So maybe that's what. Yeah, shaded

1018
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 4: it a little bit, but.

1019
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 6: It's kind of really sting for Max. Right, instead of

1020
00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 6: waking up Sunday as the number nine ranked welterweight in

1021
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 6: the world. You know, you may not get another shot

1022
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:45,800
Speaker 6: at a ranked guy.

1023
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:47,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had such a good first round too. It

1024
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,399
Speaker 4: looked like it was just going all his.

1025
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:51,520
Speaker 5: Way kind of, yes, a little bit.

1026
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Magni's just he's a dog and he

1027
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 4: does what he always does. He's steady and he's consistent,

1028
00:46:57,960 --> 00:47:01,080
Speaker 4: keeps putting the pressure on you. And yeah, I mean

1029
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 4: so it was I think a little bit of a

1030
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,040
Speaker 4: tough fight to score. But either way, it was good.

1031
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 4: But I thought they were going to give that to

1032
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:08,319
Speaker 4: Griffith for sure. But yeah, if you would have talked,

1033
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:09,880
Speaker 4: I would have I would have been with you. I

1034
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 4: would have never thought he'd accomplish what he's accomplished, So

1035
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 4: power to him.

1036
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, all right, before we let you go, a couple

1037
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 6: of notes on your guys, and we wish you all

1038
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,560
Speaker 6: the best there with NAS and everybody else in Houston,

1039
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 6: Texas tonight.

1040
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 5: But Chris Widman starting to move a little bit. I throw.

1041
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:27,960
Speaker 6: I saw him throw a kick in training with the

1042
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 6: broken leg, albeit softly. By the way, Tom Lane was

1043
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,680
Speaker 6: there with Brian Barberina in Columbus, Ohio. Yeah, he's working

1044
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:41,040
Speaker 6: hard swim and sana, but uh yeah, anything on Wiman

1045
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:41,920
Speaker 6: that's pretty encouraging.

1046
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 5: It's crazy to think that was almost a year ago.

1047
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 5: Eleven months.

1048
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's coming up. Yeah.

1049
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 6: Uh.

1050
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,279
Speaker 4: And it was Jacksonville too, so I hoped there's not

1051
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 4: a curse in Jacksonville. But yeah, I haven't really talked.

1052
00:47:54,960 --> 00:48:00,120
Speaker 4: I talked to him briefly last week. I think yet

1053
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 4: even know if I spoke to him while he was

1054
00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 4: texting with him. No, I think I spoke to him,

1055
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 4: but he didn't. We really didn't talk about training, so

1056
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 4: I really don't know. You guys know more than me.

1057
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 4: I don't follow anything on anybody's story or anything like that,

1058
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 4: so I have no clue.

1059
00:48:15,480 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 5: So you have no idea that my minivan got totaled?

1060
00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:20,879
Speaker 4: Uh? Last now I have no idea. All right, Yeah,

1061
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,080
Speaker 4: all right, I heard something though. You guys were talking

1062
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 4: about sucking. Yeah, I saw comments. I think that.

1063
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:28,200
Speaker 5: That's my bruise.

1064
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,440
Speaker 4: Sorry, are you okay, buddy?

1065
00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 5: I'm okay. Thanks, Ray.

1066
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,839
Speaker 4: I appreciate how much damage? How much damage on the car?

1067
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:37,600
Speaker 5: Total? They get totally four thousand dollars?

1068
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 4: Wow, big enough?

1069
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, problem is get a new one.

Speaker 6: kama al Jamine Cody.

1074
00:48:57,960 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 5: I don't know if you can get me a betting line.

1075
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 6: I'd imagine he's pretty big underdog against Pyotr Jan, but

1076
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 6: these are the final days counting it down.

1077

00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,359
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say the sparing I saw on Thursday night.

1080
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,799
Speaker 4: If that al Joe shows up, he's winning the fight.

1081
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 4: How's that? Is that good enough for you? That guy

00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 4: right now, couldn't look better. Yeah, mentally he's mentally locked

1085
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 4: in no different fight.

1086
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:37,600
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, you know he's a plus three fifty underdog

1087
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:40,160
Speaker 6: right now. So perhaps that's juicy to Uh.

1088
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 4: That's gonna close. I think that closes a lot towards

1089
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 4: the fight, all right, probably up to like four ninety,

1090
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 4: but who knows.

1091
00:49:48,719 --> 00:49:51,640

1166
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 6: few other performances, and then we're gonna bring on our guy,

1167
00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:06,480
Speaker 6: Brian Petrie, not to make predictions, but just to see

1168
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:08,920
Speaker 6: how he, uh, what he felt about the Columbus show,

1169
00:53:08,920 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 6: because he was in the building last night and I

1170
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:11,279
Speaker 6: got to meet him for the first time.

1171
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 5: But uh, Chris.

1172
00:53:12,560 --> 00:53:15,920
Speaker 6: Gutiera's performance bonus for a spinning backfist knockout. I was

1173
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,240
Speaker 6: surprised Kenny only only the ninth knockout in UFC history,

1174
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,200
Speaker 6: stemming from a spinning backfist. I thought it was more

1175
00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,560
Speaker 6: than that, but really feel good for him to get

1176
00:53:24,560 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 6: that bonus and the signature win. Ali oskop Kiriev a

1177
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:30,960
Speaker 6: real problem at middleweight, looks like he's gonna move down

1178
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 6: to welterweight and myn O fure with a big win

1179

1182
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 6: exactly how you need to approach that fight, and I

1183
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 6: thought he really uh passed the test in a big way.

1184
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 6: All right, let us bring on our guy. Brian Petrie

Speaker 6: appreciate everything you brought to the show. I mean, it

1203
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,840
Speaker 6: is so clear that you have been watching the sports

1204
00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 6: so closely since you were a very young man, and

1205
00:54:37,120 --> 00:54:39,920
Speaker 6: obviously it translates to our audience, and uh you just

1206
00:54:39,920 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 6: have a great ability to communicate it with comedy and

1207
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:43,680
Speaker 6: uh so it was nice to be able to shake

1208
00:54:43,680 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 6: your hand last night, and we thank you for your contributions,

1209
00:54:46,160 --> 00:54:49,040
Speaker 6: which we know we'll continue on the show. But overall,

1210
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 6: just thoughts on being in the building last night. You know,

1211
00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:54,720
Speaker 6: I have a whole newfound respect for Ohio sports fans,

1212
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:57,560
Speaker 6: you know, just in terms of the volume. But what

1213
00:54:57,600 --> 00:54:59,279
Speaker 6: were your thoughts on being in the building last night.

1214
00:54:59,320 --> 00:55:00,719
Speaker 5: It's great we showed.

1215
00:55:00,440 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 3: Out, I mean Ohio showed on. I mean, I'm from Cincinnati,

1216
00:55:02,400 --> 00:55:03,719
Speaker 3: but Columbus is only an hour and a half of

1217
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 3: the road. Oh Ahhio. I mean, listen, Kai car France

1218
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:09,799
Speaker 3: might want to buy a house in Ohio. That dude

1219
00:55:09,920 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 3: is royalty.

1220
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:11,040
Speaker 4: Now.

1221
00:55:11,760 --> 00:55:14,480
Speaker 3: I only heard a couple punch him in the faces

1222
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 3: and then kick his ass Sea Bass, which is from

1223
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,279
Speaker 3: like ninety four. Let's get some new bits, guys, just

1224
00:55:19,320 --> 00:55:22,880
Speaker 3: some new material. But the section I was in, everyone

1225
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 3: was like pretty hardcore, they're pretty good seats, and no

1226
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:27,160
Speaker 3: one really kind of acted up or anything. It was

1227
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,279
Speaker 3: it was pretty nice, you know, and uh, I thought

1228
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:31,480
Speaker 3: we were allowed. My buddy texted me said, dude, Ohio said,

1229
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:33,359
Speaker 3: well he's not electric. I mean, I don't know if

1230
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:36,520
Speaker 3: we're London, but I mean, listen, we're you know, Columbus

1231
00:55:36,560 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 3: is a higher state that we brought it out and

1232
00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 3: I met a lot of people from Cleveland, so people

1233
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:41,399
Speaker 3: from Cleveland drove down.

1234
00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 5: I drove up.

1235
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 3: So uh it was awesome, Yeah, it was.

Speaker 4: It was. It was great.

1237
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:46,439
Speaker 3: It was a fucking love being there.

1238
00:55:47,239 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 6: I didn't realize quite how popular Steepe was around those parts.

1239
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 5: I thought I knew.

1240
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 6: I mean, you would have thought that, uh, I mean,

1241
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:58,719
Speaker 6: who's the who's the most glorified Ohio athlete of all time?

1242
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 6: Because you would have thought that fuck guy walked out

1243
00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 6: the sure.

1244
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 3: Uh I mean right now, Joe Burrow, who was there

1245
00:56:03,719 --> 00:56:06,359
Speaker 3: that you met, and he walked right by. I was like, oh,

1246
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 3: she is that Joe Burrow. I didn't yell at any

1247
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:10,600
Speaker 3: fighter all night. It just clapped. Joe Burrow walked down.

1248
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 3: I'm like a little girl.

1249
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:14,600
Speaker 5: He threw me at Deuce.

1250
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean listen Burrow right now, I mean

1251
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,000
Speaker 3: you probably got you know, Eddie George probably brings house

1252
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: down back in the day.

1253
00:56:22,280 --> 00:56:22,799
Speaker 4: Uh you know.

1254
00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,920
Speaker 3: But fighter wise, I mean rich As Franklin was the

1255
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 3: man for a while. I mean, Matt Brown got a

1256
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 3: huge pop. But steep a like step as fun and

1257
00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:32,440
Speaker 3: he you know, you know, Cody Garbrant moved away. He

1258
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 3: wraps Cali.

1259
00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 4: Now.

1260
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 3: Steve a is like, I'm a fireman. I live in

1261
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 3: you know, independence of Heart right by Cleveland. I'm not

1262
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 3: going anywhere. And we love him for it.

1263
00:56:41,840 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1264
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 3: And he was sitting there fucking drinking, slamming beers, doing

1265
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:46,720
Speaker 3: the ohs in the middle of fights.

1266
00:56:46,920 --> 00:56:47,520
Speaker 5: He loved it.

1267
00:56:47,680 --> 00:56:50,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, Jim Brown, Lebron James, a couple of other AIO athletes.

1268
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,719
Speaker 6: I would say for Kai Cotta France though, if he

1269
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 6: is gonna buy real estate and Ohio got to figure

1270
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,240
Speaker 6: out who Joe Burrow is pretty quickly.

1271
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's so funny. But listen, I know, I get it.

1272
00:57:01,239 --> 00:57:04,479
Speaker 3: I getred I get my buddy's like, this fucking guy

1273
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 3: doesn't know who Joe Burrow is my buddy. All my

1274
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 3: friends are collegiate soccer players, so they don't watch himm A.

1275
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,480
Speaker 3: I'm like, listen, they fuck He's from New Zealand. It's

1276
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:14,319
Speaker 3: rugby over there.

1277
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 5: That's their football court, and I can know this guy is.

1278
00:57:16,680 --> 00:57:19,800
Speaker 3: But props with Concard France. He looked great. Uh, I

1279
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,919
Speaker 3: actually scored it. No one shoot me for escar Rough.

1280
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 3: But that's just that's just because I had him. I

1281
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 3: thought he won the third round. I thought Kai threw

1282
00:57:26,840 --> 00:57:28,520
Speaker 3: a lot in the third round. I just don't think

1283
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 3: he did much. But I'm glad Kai won because he's

1284
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:34,600
Speaker 3: you know, he's the bigger promotional star, in my opinion,

1285
00:57:34,880 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 3: more pleasing fight. He's only lost you goddamn fights in

1286
00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 3: the UFC. Brandon Marino in a wild scrap of revolt

1287
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 3: like I myself. John was trying to sway us there

1288
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 3: last week when we're picking our fights, Kenny and we

1289
00:57:46,160 --> 00:57:49,480
Speaker 3: both were like, we know what we're doing. Johnny's the sharp.

1290
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:50,160
Speaker 6: Uh.

1291
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 3: I gotta stop. I gotta stop this disrespecting Kai Kar

1292
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 3: France because he's really good.

1293
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,040
Speaker 5: Well, and I think there was a lot.

1294
00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I think there was a time where I

1295
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 6: thought his ceiling was maybe lowered, and I think it

1296
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 6: is now.

1297
00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 5: But he's just getting better mentally physically.

1298
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 3: What I noticed I saw you guys talking about the

1299
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 3: one thing I noticed. I love is a rough first round, right,

1300
00:58:09,840 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 3: and it was a slick back take by Asker, but

1301
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,720
Speaker 3: he stayed so fucking calm. I mean that kid that

1302
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,360
Speaker 3: Asker's death on the back, and he stayed calm. He

1303
00:58:17,440 --> 00:58:20,080
Speaker 3: was like, I've been here before. I'm good. After the

1304
00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 3: second round the little shove, he shook his head. I'm like, oh,

1305
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 3: this is good. This is about start turning here.

1306
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:24,800
Speaker 4: This is gonna be good.

1307
00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:26,440
Speaker 3: My wife was all into it.

1308
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 5: It's great, it's great.

1309
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 6: So if Alil Latifi had lost to Alexiolnic, the fight

1310
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 6: did not happen.

1311
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 5: Alil la tf he woke up with a stomach bug.

1312
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,480
Speaker 6: But if Alexeolinic was able to spring the upset, you

1313
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 6: were gonna have to shave your head.

1314
00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:37,080
Speaker 4: Is that right?

1315
00:58:37,520 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 3: Put a big put a big old ray here. Why

1316
00:58:40,400 --> 00:58:43,440
Speaker 3: Scott Clippers. I was ready to do it hat on

1317
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:43,959
Speaker 3: for a week.

1318
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 5: I don't care.

1319
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 6: Well, just let your wife know that they could rebook

1320
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 6: that one in short order said that that night resurface.

1321
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 3: It's it's on until the fight happens. I'll tell you

1322
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:52,959
Speaker 3: that right there.

1323
00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 6: All right, brother, two more things before we left to fly,

1324
00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:59,080
Speaker 6: and we appreciate you stepping up today. Barberina, Matt Brown.

1325
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 6: Did you have a scorecard on that fight? What were

1326
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 6: your thoughts on Brown?

1327
00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,160
Speaker 3: So in the building it was very loud, and I

1328
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:09,320
Speaker 3: picked Barberina obviously, but and uh, I only had the

1329
00:59:09,360 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 3: bat fight not going to decision, so I didn't pick

1330
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 3: money line on that. But in the picks we did,

1331
00:59:13,560 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 3: I thought Matt Brown won. I did. The third round

1332
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 3: was rough on him, but I thought he did enough

1333
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 3: in the first two. But a lot of my buddies

1334
00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 3: back at home or text me, I do I think

1335
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,959
Speaker 3: Barbarina got that? I think Barbarina got that. I'm like, man,

1336
00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,320
Speaker 3: maybe the crowd swayed me or something. I thought Brown

1337
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 3: did enough. You know, the third round was the toughest round,

1338
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:32,480
Speaker 3: but it was the funnest round. And those guys are

1339
00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 3: fucking going my gassing and just throwing. I loved it.

1340
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,920
Speaker 3: I mean it's not the most technical, but it you know,

1341
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 3: I saw visiting jump up and clap. It was fun.

1342
00:59:41,280 --> 00:59:42,880
Speaker 3: But I did have Matt Brown winning that fight. I

1343
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 3: thought he I thought he did enough. He landed five takedowns.

1344
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,200
Speaker 3: He was mixing up really well. I mean he was.

1345
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 3: He was taking shots, but he's also giving shots. It

1346
00:59:49,280 --> 00:59:51,920
Speaker 3: was very, very competitive fight. But I did think Matt

1347
00:59:51,960 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 3: Brown won enough, won enough rounds to do on my cart.

1348
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:58,720
Speaker 5: Man, what a fight like. I don't even know how

1349
00:59:58,760 --> 01:00:01,680
Speaker 5: to call the round, you know, I don't know.

1350
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 6: Sick sick all right, last thing BP before we let

1351
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 6: you go back to the family. Curtis Blades over Chris

1352
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 6: Daccas in the main event. Just want a few thoughts

1353
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 6: on both guys, right, because this is an appreciable setback

1354
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 6: for Chris Daccas and a monumentally enormous win by knockout

1355
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:19,520
Speaker 6: for Curtis Blades.

1356
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 4: Your thoughts.

1357
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:22,600
Speaker 3: So, I love the approach Curtis Blades took in this.

1358
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 3: He blew me away right. His boxing looked really good.

1359
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 3: He's not the fastest guy, but his counters and timing

1360
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:29,360
Speaker 3: were just on point. And that's what he needs to do.

1361
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 3: And he said it perfectly in his post fight. People

1362
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 3: expect me to wrestle so that that slows them down

1363
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:36,320
Speaker 3: and lets me strike a little bit. He's a big

1364
01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 3: fucking guy. He can obviously hit hard. Doccas he walked

1365
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 3: right by me. And I'm a big sick guy, and

1366
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 3: I'm looking at this dude like this is a heavyweight, Like,

1367
01:00:45,160 --> 01:00:47,360
Speaker 3: you know, I feel like he's a little like I

1368
01:00:47,400 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 3: know he's six y three, but I'm like a little

1369
01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 3: bit of belly wade or whatever. He's two fortyish or whatever.

1370
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:53,560
Speaker 3: I don't know how big of a cut that was is,

1371
01:00:53,600 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 3: you know, But I don't write him off. I know

1372
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 3: a lot of MMA fans are gonna be so negative.

1373
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,960
Speaker 3: I'm not doing. I think he's gonna guy. It was

1374
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 3: a competitive first round. I gave it the Blades second round,

1375
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 3: though I thought his corner priably I didn't hear. I

1376
01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 3: haven't heard it back yet. His corner probably told him, like,

1377
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:09,160
Speaker 3: let's open up a little most he's not wanting to

1378
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:10,720
Speaker 3: wrestle us, open up, Litim Moore, And he opened up

1379
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,720
Speaker 3: and Curtis Blaze land at the right hand. I think

1380
01:01:12,800 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Curtis Blades is again a guy I disrespect just because

1381
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 3: of the inconsistency I see sometimes. But he lost two people, right,

1382
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 3: He's beating everyone and he's a legit dude. And if

1383
01:01:22,120 --> 01:01:24,840
Speaker 3: he keeps learning these skills and comes in shape like

1384
01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 3: he does, he's he's a fucking issue. I like to

1385
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 3: call out too. I like the steep bit call out,

1386
01:01:28,920 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 3: very respectable. You know, he didn't go crazy because he

1387
01:01:31,400 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 3: had got fucking booed because we were they were going

1388
01:01:33,360 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 3: a little bit. And then I like the intern because

1389
01:01:35,680 --> 01:01:37,800
Speaker 3: I mean Francis is out, you know for what you know,

1390
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 3: nine months with the knee surgery. You gotta have someone

1391
01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 3: in there, you know. I think tom Ospeall's gonna be

1392
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,760
Speaker 3: thrown around. Obviously he called out Gone, but uh yeah,

1393
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:46,920
Speaker 3: Kurtz Blades blew me away. I thought he would lose

1394
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,560
Speaker 3: the striking match, and he won, and he won devastating me.

1395
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,280
Speaker 5: So yeah, that's prevailing wisdom.

1396
01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 6: Seems to be uh that that interim championship is gonna

1397
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:57,960
Speaker 6: come down to steep A and either John Jones tru

1398
01:01:58,600 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 6: Curtis Blade It Gone is probably not going to be

1399
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 6: in that mix. But I think Blades he's either getting

1400
01:02:03,760 --> 01:02:05,960
Speaker 6: Gonner or Steeve Bay. I just feel like Steve Ba's

1401
01:02:05,960 --> 01:02:07,840
Speaker 6: holding out for Johnny Bones. But we shall see.

1402
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:08,520
Speaker 5: Uh.

1403
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 6: And last thing, I'll just say, like when we asked

1404
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,640
Speaker 6: the Blades camp about Chris Daucus. To your point, one

1405
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 6: of the first things they said was like he's small,

1406
01:02:15,760 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 6: Like he's really small for heavyweight.

1407
01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 5: You know, yeah he did.

1408
01:02:18,560 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 6: But yeah, all right, Well, great to have you with

1409
01:02:21,360 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 6: us for a few minutes at MMA Takes podcast. If

Speaker 6: Peter with us here on the Anak and Florian Podcast.

1416
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:39,880
Speaker 6: I would like to see Cody Merra before we get

1417
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 6: on out of here. Hey, Sean Prickland's gonna fight Alex Padda,

1418
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 6: Is that right at middleweight?

1419
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 5: Yes he is. You have two seventy seven.

1420
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:53,800
Speaker 6: Sean Strickland doesn't turn down opponents, you know, because he's

1421
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 6: on the short list of guys you could put in

1422
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,760
Speaker 6: a title fight right now, and instead he's fighting a

1423
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 6: guy who correct me if I'm wrong, does need to

1424
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 6: app a number next to his name?

1425
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 4: Cody?

1426
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 5: I mean not as a stand now, things will change.

1427
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:06,680
Speaker 5: Things will change, you know, that'll be that's gonna be

1428
01:03:06,680 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 5: a beggar. But here's the thing. I know Sean is

1429
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:13,480
Speaker 5: a savage, but we may see him grapple in this one.

1430
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean that's the way, that's what he should do. Yeah,

1431
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 6: try anyway, Yeah right, I don't know Cody anything else

1432
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 6: before we get out of here.

1433
01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:21,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, a couple of couple of points here with the

1434
01:03:21,960 --> 01:03:25,440
Speaker 9: Marrow seconds, you know, a little duality words is he

1435
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,960
Speaker 9: Cannoneer isn't booked yet, so an update at middleweight. So

1436
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 9: that's the direction everything is trending. Ireny al Donna is

1437
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 9: out at UFC two seventy three. Sources say Rocky Pennington

1438
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 9: is in against aspen Ladd. I think that's actually a

1439
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 9: better fight, you know, winnable fight for Rocky. I think

1440
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 9: she's ninth in the rankings. Uh Casey O'Neill versus Jessica

1441
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 9: I slated for UFC two seventy six.

1442
01:03:44,520 --> 01:03:46,480
Speaker 3: So moving a prospect along there.

1443
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, that loves women's MMA. This producer Han.

1444
01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:51,360
Speaker 3: Jesus got anything all about it.

1445
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,000
Speaker 5: We're all about everybody.

1446
01:03:53,000 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 3: The next one is about two of the Smash bros.

1447
01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 9: I don't know if you guys seen Hamza and Till's

1448
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 9: content lately, but they went in and trashed the tar

1449
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 9: Get like the other day. Like just two dudes being boys,

1450
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 9: like two boys being dudes, like just interesting stuff on

1451
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 9: their social media. And last, but not least, UFC fan

1452
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:15,320
Speaker 9: future MVP candidate thirty for thirty perennial player, Welcome to Boston,

1453
01:04:15,360 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 9: Trevor Story.

1454
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 5: Oh thank I gotta say so, and again, thank you, Cody.

1455
01:04:21,600 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 5: You know.

1456
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:25,000
Speaker 6: Sometimes and while the majority of our listenership is in

1457
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,680
Speaker 6: the United States, we do have a huge portion of

1458
01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 6: our listeners who are international. And when we talk about

1459
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 6: the Boston Red Sox or Joe Burrow, they don't know

1460
01:04:35,080 --> 01:04:37,479
Speaker 6: what we're saying. But Trevor Story, who the Red Sox

1461
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 6: just gave one hundred and forty million dollars, is a

1462
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,320
Speaker 6: huge UFC fan, you know, And so it's sort of

1463
01:04:43,480 --> 01:04:46,680
Speaker 6: unique being an announcer for the UFC because so many

1464
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 6: of these high profile professional athletes are rabid UFC fans.

1465
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:51,760
Speaker 6: So Trevor Story signs with the Red Sox, I go

1466
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 6: to his Instagram page and it says follow back. I'm like,

1467
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 6: this dude's following me, you know, And then I'm able

1468
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 6: to have a conversation with the guy who just signed

1469
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:03,160
Speaker 6: with the baseball team that just dominated my formative years.

1470
01:05:03,200 --> 01:05:05,680
Speaker 6: So very excited to get my Trevor story Jersey and

1471
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,840
Speaker 6: that will put a bow on that. One other thing

1472
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 6: before we go to the fans in the United Kingdom,

1473
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 6: We obviously have so much appreciation for you listening to

1474
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 6: the show, watching the show, all that you brought to

1475
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 6: the table in London. But I heard from a few

1476
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:21,200
Speaker 6: fans and I just can you imagine what these fans

1477
01:05:21,240 --> 01:05:23,960
Speaker 6: have to do every week to pull all nighters to

1478
01:05:24,040 --> 01:05:24,920
Speaker 6: watch these fights?

1479
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 5: Oh my god.

1480
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:27,000
Speaker 6: And I don't know if there's anything that we can

1481
01:05:27,040 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 6: do to affect change, because a lot of these fights

1482
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,000
Speaker 6: are going to be primetime in the US. But if

1483
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,800
Speaker 6: you're a UFC fan in the United Kingdom, you're you're

1484
01:05:34,840 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 6: staying up all night like forty one times a year.

1485
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 5: And as someone.

1486
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 6: Who does that regularly, like it's hell on your body,

1487
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 6: So you all have my respect.

1488
01:05:43,720 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 5: I just wanted to say absolutely.

1489
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:48,120
Speaker 7: In fact, I'm looking at a car myself, John and

1490
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 7: the sales managers from Scotland and he's, you know, talking

1491
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:54,360
Speaker 7: about how he grew up watching UFC and that was

1492
01:05:54,400 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 7: one of the things he talked about, he'd have to,

1493
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 7: you know, stay up to like five am with his friends,

1494
01:05:59,520 --> 01:06:02,040
Speaker 7: you know, and you're drinking. He's like, you can't stay up.

1495
01:06:02,400 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 7: But that's commitment, dude, that's awesome.

1496
01:06:04,440 --> 01:06:07,560
Speaker 6: It's really hard, like at two am start time for

1497
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 6: the main card, like if you have children, I mean,

1498
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,840
Speaker 6: I guess maybe your nap or something. I don't know,

1499
01:06:11,880 --> 01:06:16,000
Speaker 6: But again, I know sometimes for American fight fans, we

1500
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:17,360
Speaker 6: have some you know.

1501
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:19,760
Speaker 5: Cards in the middle of the night.

1502
01:06:19,800 --> 01:06:22,000
Speaker 6: But I just think for the Europeans who watched this

1503
01:06:22,080 --> 01:06:24,240
Speaker 6: sport at all hours of the night, I just wanted

1504
