75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:54,560

76
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: anime related, but there was just a lot of tragedy

77
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: in the world over the weekend. Yes, it was the

78
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: Australian shooting, than the Brown one, than Rob Reiner.

00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:07,560

00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: we talk about that. Yeah, yeah, Wow, that's a trumped

81
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: arrangement syndrome. Put them down.

82
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,280
Speaker 3: You've got some that's a wild ride right there.

83
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 1: Let's get into our breaking news about this program, some

84
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: very bittersweet news this morning. If you can put the

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: camera on me, Brian Campbell. As many of you know,

86
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: my parent company, CBS Paramount. I've been there nine years.

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: One of the best jobs I've ever had in my life.

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: Has acquired the rights, of course the UFC zoofa Boxing

89
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: and a lot of changes are coming. And with that,

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: my role in CBS Sports is not only changing, it

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: is growing rapidly, so rapid that it's tough to say today,

92
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: but it is the truth. I will be stepping away

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: from Morning Combat in twenty twenty six. My final episode

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: will be Monday, January fifth, twenty twenty six. It was

95
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: never the plan to have it announced this abruptly. It's

96
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: sort of just how it all worked out. But to

97
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: begin to use the word bittersweet would certainly not even

98
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: come close to describe the emotions today. As you know

99
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: from listening to Luke and I, it's been a rough

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: couple of years professionally for us since the fall of

101
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 1: Showtime abruptly and picking up the pieces. Getting this show

102
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: back on the streets was a long battle, and I'm

103
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: very proud of what we've done. But you know, two

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,200
Speaker 1: years of juggling paychecks all over to get the opportunity

105
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: to go to go solid and go all in with

106
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 1: my company is an offer I can't refuse. So, Luke Thomas,

107
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't bring me joy to announce this, but it

108
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: is major news to a program that we built together

109
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: almost seven years, the most fun I've ever had of

110
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: anything I've ever done in my career, and the thing

111
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm most proud of. By the way, this news isn't

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: easy to deliver, and I've actually has an effect on

113
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: the future of this program.

114
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, do you remember that phone call I

115
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 3: gave you when we were in New York. It was

116
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 3: twenty nineteen before the show started and we were describing

117
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 3: like what the game plan was, and like don't sign

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: this and just wait. Yes, And I don't know what

119
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: you had in mind about what this could be, but

120
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 3: you know, there's been some challenges, but I think it

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: over delivered relative to what that phone call and the

122
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: promise of that meant. I don't know if you feel

123
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 3: that way.

124
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: I do, because at that time I was hosting a

125
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: show on Fox for PBC and interview show that was

126
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,720
Speaker 1: doing well, was getting great ratings. But the news came

127
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: across that like it's going to get canceled after one year,

128
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: and it's like, that's this business. You just never know

129
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,240
Speaker 1: what's going to happen. And no, I didn't if you

130
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 1: would have told me. Seven years strong, multiple award winning

131
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: duo headlining podcast festivals, sold out space in London, and

132
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: you know, seven documentaries you know, literally Dot commending the

133
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: growth of men, the ups and downs of the life

134
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: that we've shared with all of our listeners. I'm very,

135
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 1: very proud of what we've accomplished in the connection that

136
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: we've built with the fans. And you'll hear me echo that,

137
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: you know, as we get closer to January fifth, and

138
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: hopefully we can have a big going away bash episode

139
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 1: that does justice to what we've built. But thank you

140
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: Luke Thomas for being my Huckleby.

141
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I have a couple of things to say, if

142
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 3: I may, very quickly. I mean, this is really about

143
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: you today. One thing more broadly, as BC indicated, we're

144
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 3: going to have a JAM fifth show, and that will

145
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 3: be one where we talk about the show, the two

146
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: of us. It's a shame we couldn't have it.

147
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: On jan six.

148
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: In DC. Come on, come on, it's a shame we

149
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: couldn't have it on jan. Six. But we will talk

150
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 3: about what we built together on that day. I just

151
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: have one thing I think I would like to say,

152
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: which is listen. I mean, there's many things I could

153
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: say to be honest with you, but the only thing

154
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 3: I think is appropriate at the present moment to two things. Okay,

155
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 3: so one people are going to say, well, then what

156
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: is the future of MK. Let me just say this,

157
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,239
Speaker 3: There is a future MK will continue, which.

158
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 4: I greatly support.

159
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm excited.

160
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 3: We had many conversations. Seeing I had many conversations, are like,

161
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 3: what do we do here given the reality of things?

162
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 3: And so the plan is to continue. Now you're probably

163
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 3: asking well, what does that mean? Details to come? All right,

164
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: we're crossing t's and dotting eyes as we speak. So today,

165
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: unfortunately I don't have the full plan. I can just

166
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 3: delineate to you. But you're probably gonna know in pretty

167
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: short order, you know. I don't imagine it's going to

168
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: be that much longer before you know. Obviously we have

169
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,680
Speaker 3: to move pretty quickly given the reality of things.

170
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: So she's going to be some familiarity though.

171
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say, I would say, how do I

172
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,679
Speaker 3: put this? Expect familiar faces? Maybe it's a good way

173
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 3: to put that, something like that. So so there's that.

174
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 3: But I think for today, the only thing I would

175
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 3: want to say to you U BC is I mean, listen,

176
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 3: you know they're taking very good care of you at CBS,

177
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: which I know you know that. I know that, So

178
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 3: what I'm about to say is not in any way

179
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: about that. But I here's one thing I do know.

180
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 3: They're lucky to have you. And the reason why I

181
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 3: know that is not because is one reason. It's because

182
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 3: we were lucky to have you, and I know that.

183
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: And I know they're gonna make me cry here.

184
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: I don't know what I'm being serious, Like we were

185
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 3: lucky tod like this, I want you to understand something.

186
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 3: I've worked with a lot of people. You know me,

187
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 3: I don't work well with others that great, You know me,

188
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 3: I have no soul. I mostly don't like people, including myself,

189
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: and I don't work well with others for the most part.

190
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: But dude, there was never I was thinking about this

191
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 3: the other day. There was never, and I mean never

192
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 3: a day, a fucking a moment where I had to

193
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 3: question your commitment to this project where I had to

194
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: question what you worked for.

195
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 1: I mean, was there was this moment.

196
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: There's been times where like You're like, I don't like Mengo,

197
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 3: and I'm like, clearly, this is the dumbest motherfucker on

198
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,959
Speaker 3: the planet. Yes, but I'm being serious, dude, Like I

199
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 3: as a business partner and as a friend, obviously you

200
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 3: did everything I could have possibly asked for. And then

201
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 3: some I never ever had to worry about whether you

202
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 3: cared that. They never ever had to worry about whether

203
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 3: you Sometimes I have to worry about whether you were

204
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: high on air. But that's a separate conversation. But you

205
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: understand what I'm saying, Like, I I know that CBS

206
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: is lucky to have you, dude, because we were lucky

207
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,319
Speaker 3: to have you. This this went fucking great.

208
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: You're saying that means the most to me.

209
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 4: And also.

210
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: We have an opportunity to bring people joy. And every

211
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: time I hear that back from the people, I know

212
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: that we did something special. So we'll have a lot

213
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: more talk on romanticizing the great history between us, and

214
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: I appreciate the kind sentiments. So you might have questions,

215
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: b see what does that mean for you moving forward?

216
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 1: Still the com still the com some of that's still

217
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: being worked out.

218
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: This came together relatively, very.

219
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: Very unnaturally quickly, a restructuring of a deal, and I'm

220
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: very obviously I'm very excited about it. My my twins,

221
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: who my twin sons, who mean, anyone that knows me

222
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: knows that that that's my focus in life and to

223
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,199
Speaker 1: get to get them the opportunities they deserve in life.

224
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: And they're starting college in the fall. So this is

225
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: this deal aligns with everything good that could have happened

226
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: in my life. So thank you, thank you very much everybody.

227
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 3: There we go.

228
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy to deliver, but it's the truth and

229
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 1: uh MK lives on and I think that's the best

230
00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: news before.

231
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,959
Speaker 3: We move on. We do, we do, We get everything

Speaker 3: there snides more or less. Okay, all right, I want

Speaker 3: Now, let's make some money.

248
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: Well, let's go with that right there, All right, all

249
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: their breaking news before we get into the final APEX

250
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: fight night of twenty twenty five for the UFC and

251
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,959
Speaker 1: to close out the ESPN era was what Iliot Taporia

252
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,440
Speaker 1: shared through social media overnight. The idea that he is

253
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: now officially confirming what we sort of knew all along,

254
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 1: and by the creation of the January twenty fourth Justin

255
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: Gaechee Patti pimblet interim lightweight title fight, we knew that

256
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,719
Speaker 1: personal issues was going to cause Elia Taporia to step away. Well,

257
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: now he's come public for his one and only statement.

258
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 1: He says to protect his children that yes, it seems

259
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: these divorce rumors are confirmed, but it goes a little

260
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: bit deeper than that, a potential extortion plot, potential accusations

261
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 1: of domestic violence, which Toporia is greatly denying. Luke Thomas.

262
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,520
Speaker 1: This adds some unfortunate delays to the career of you know,

263
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: arguably the biggest breakout star in the sport of the

264
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: past couple of years, a two division champion, a guy

265
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 1: that you've championed a lot. You don't normally like to

266
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: get into the you know, salcy the salsa behind the

267
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: scenes here, but the behind the scenes stuff have affected

268
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: what happens inside the cage. What do you make of

269
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: the Tapuria?

270
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:52,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like when it comes to like people's average,

271
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 3: ordinary day to day relationships in romantic ones, I don't

272
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 3: I just don't care. And it's not our business. But

273
00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,439
Speaker 3: this is a little different, in part because he's making

274
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: it public. That's the first thing I'd say, And the

275
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 3: other one is this. In recent months, he writes, I

276
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 3: have been subjected to severe and unacceptable pressure, including threats

277
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 3: to disseminate false allegations. These are what again, this is

278
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 3: what he is saying, to disseminate false allegations of domestic

279
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 3: abuse unless financial demands were met. These allegations are entirely unfounded.

280
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 3: The truth is not a matter of opinion. It is

281
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: a matter of evidence. Almost done. All relevant evidence has

282
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 3: been carefully preserved and documented, including audio recordings, written communications,

283
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 3: witness statements, and video material. The evidence has been submitted

284
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 3: to the appropriate judicial authorities in order to pursue legal

285
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: action or attempted extortion, falsification of evidence, misappropriation of funds

286
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 3: and personal property, and multiple threats now BC. He does

287
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 3: not indicate who is behind what appears to what he

288
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 3: is suggesting is an extortion scheme. Obviously, though there has

289
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: been a lot of rumor mongering around the what is

290
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 3: apparently a breakup of his marriage, again, we don't really

291
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 3: know exactly what the detail is. Again, he is alleging

292
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: that he's being extorted, but BC, he also kind of introduced, Hey,

293
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: I'm being extorted because someone is gonna falsely accuse me

294
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: of domestic violence, and it's like our domestic abuse, I

295
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: should say, which maybe is distinct. I'm not sure either way.

296
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 3: BC sounds real fucking bad.

297
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, it does.

298
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 3: It does.

299
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: We're not surprised, unfortunately, because news like this affects a

300
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 1: lot of combat sports athletes and some degree. But him

301
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: being having to step away from an MMA standpoint, Luke Thomas,

302
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: we have no idea how long he's going to be out.

303
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: But does it put more onus and prize on the

304
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: Pimblic Gaichi fight?

305
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 3: Yes, it does. Again, I don't hate the Pimblic Gaichie fight.

306
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 3: I don't hate it. I think it's a good fight.

307
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 3: I don't even mind under these circumstances that they are

308
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 3: having a fight for a number one well essentially number

309
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 3: one contender, but for interim title. We've been over this.

310
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 3: The debate is whether Armon should have been in it.

311
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: I do think that he should have been.

312
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: He knows what he did.

313
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 3: Look apparently he might be the only one because we

314
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: certainly do not. But anyway, the point I'm trying to

315
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 3: what was the quite.

316
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: Question, does it make gai Chi Pimblet more more sturdy

317
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 1: as a title fight knowing that we don't know when

318
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: and if Taporia is going to return. I mean, just

319
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: a day earlier there was news where Tapori is like, right,

320
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm not going to be an mm al up much

321
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: longer because I'm trying to.

322
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: And there's that too, so he often said he was

323
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 3: he indicated that he didn't want to come back very soon.

324
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 3: But the reality is, dude, I mean, you know, mess

325
00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 3: splits like this are insanely ugly. And I thing to

326
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: remember is it's like maybe here in the United States,

327
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: we see we you know, he's a big MMA star,

328
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: but he's not like a huge American media presence. But

329
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 3: in Spain, you know, they're they're obsessed with their celebrities there,

330
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: as you can well imagine, and Spanish tabloid culture is vicious.

331
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 3: They're going to eat him alive. Dude, They're gonna eat

332
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,840
Speaker 3: him alive. And I think having concerns about what that's

333
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 3: going to assuming that there's no law enforcement component, but

334
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: even if there's not, Dude, this is the blast radius on.

335
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: Breakups like this are kind of insane.

336
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: It is this is this is hitting the sport kind

337
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: of hard today because it makes it a lot more

338
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: serious than I'm having some personal issues, relationship issues. I'm gonna,

339
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: you know, delay my return.

340
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 7: Now.

341
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: We don't know ultimately what the future holds right there,

342
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: So more to come in the future for a lightweight

343
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: champion Iliotaporia in terms of updates of a potential return.

344
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,679
Speaker 1: But let's hit now the top of our show officially

345
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: with our first of five topics, and it was the

346
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,639
Speaker 1: end of an aero Saturday in Las Vegas at the

347
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: UFC Apex, the final fight card for the UFC in

348
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, also doubling as the final fight card

349
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: in the seven year UFC ESPN and ESPN plus relationship.

350
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: More on that to come. But in the main event flyweights,

351
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: we saw Manel Cop potentially take a massive, massive step

352
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: forward to the idea of fighting for that one hundred

353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,719
Speaker 1: and twenty five pound title by finishings Brandon Royval in

354
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: less than a single round, and now with Cop seven

355
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 1: wins in his last eight fights, five by stoppage, and

356
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: now with this impressively efficient knockout of the former title

357
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 1: challenger in Brandon Royval. You have Cop calling out the champion,

358
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: Joshua Van, identifying cities months times, and even challenging to

359
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: take his diapers alive. Whatever the heck that means, Luke Thomas,

360
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: is there any argument against seven to one in his

361
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: last eight fights, five knockouts Manel Cop getting the first

362
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,239
Speaker 1: shot at Joshua Van.

363
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 3: I don't think so. I think this is the guy.

364
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 3: He's a weirdo. That post fight call out was one

365
00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: of the worst I've ever heard. It was truly did

366
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 3: he was he? Did he take malaria medicine?

367
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 8: As?

368
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: I don't know, but your daddy's here. I mean I

369
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: actually wrote it down, Luke, I actually read.

370
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 3: It because it was truly I mean he was trying

371
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 3: to cook. Yeah, he just couldn't get the burning home.

372
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:03,040
Speaker 3: He turned the burner on, it just clicked.

373
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: It just won't work. Here we go here was Milica. Now, baby,

374
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: listen very well, I'm here. Your daddy is going to

375
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: take your diapers alive on a new deal, paramount deal.

376
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:17,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to take your diapers alive. Be ready, Luke Thomas.

377
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 3: I'm going to take your diapers alive. What does that mean?

378
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 3: What does that mean?

379
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: Is this man visited to Joseph Abbey or what what

380
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: is happening here? Jokes aside. That was some pretty lame

381
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: trash talk, But I do love the villainous behavior of

382
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,680
Speaker 1: cop outside of the homophobic slurs. Dude, he's the good guy,

383
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 1: He's the guy.

384
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 3: He's the boogeyman, right Brandon Royvill I saw this has

385
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: I think something like twelve fights in the UFCBC, all

386
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 3: of them against ranked opponents, all of them. He is

387
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 3: in the midil cop a very There's always a little

388
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,920
Speaker 3: bit of weirdness that surrounds him. They've tried to make

389
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 3: that Roival fight three or four times before it eventually

390
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 3: got through. There's always fouls, as we indicated, that kind

391
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 3: of surround what happens, and this fight BC, to me,

392
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: he just did what he does really really well. We

393
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 3: talked about his ability to cover distance with the backhand,

394
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 3: his speed, his accuracy. You saw that.

395
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: Those are some mean shots, not only the one that

396
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: dropped roy Vaalt, but then that one with the right

397
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: hand down suh.

398
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,120
Speaker 3: And you know, listen, Reuvel looked like he was in shape.

399
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 3: Reyval has fought credential opponents, and I liked that kick.

400
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 3: He was throwing because you saw Cop trying to go

401
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 3: down a lot. They were trying to greet him with it.

402
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 3: They were trying to use the weapons that they had

403
00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 3: to get the job done, and hey, it didn't work.

404
00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 3: And a part because you could see he tried to

405
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 3: punch with him when he was back up against the

406
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 3: fence and that was a fatal error. But Brandon Roivlell

407
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: is an experienced competitor who had a good idea about

408
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 3: some things he wanted to do in this fight. Cop

409
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,120
Speaker 3: is just on fire thirty two years old. If you're

410
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 3: gonna give a guy a title shot at flyweight, giving

411
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 3: it close to the end of his prime is probably

412
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 3: not the ideal, but it's not outside of a good

413
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 3: spot to give it to him, and not for nothing.

414
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 3: He's a live threat, I think to either Josh Fan

415
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 3: to Pantoja, yes, are you really gonna say that? You

416
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 3: can look at him and no Cop and think, I

417
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 3: know he can't beat any of those top guys. Maybe

418
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 3: he does, maybe he doesn't BC, but we often talk

419
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 3: about well did you earn it? You know, did you

420
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 3: get to a number one spot? That's one question he

421
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: already did that. A separate question is Okay, but do

422
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: we actually think that this person, even as a number

423
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 3: one contender, can win? I do.

424
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: I mean just the fact that Van and Reyval went

425
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, kind of life or death in a Fight

426
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 1: of the Year candidate and then Cop comes in and

427
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: just mows him down.

428
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 4: I mean that's a statement right there.

429
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 1: Also, Kyochihiragucci is going to be in the co main

430
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: event of the first UFC Fight Night of the Paramount

431
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: era except our February seventh in the Apex. Who's the

432
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: opponent Mi Albera Marel Bosi in a very good fight,

433
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: So that really opens the door that it's got to

434
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,480
Speaker 1: be Cop next. Now, in that post fight call out

435
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,359
Speaker 1: with the I'll take your diapers rant, Cop wanted Van

436
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 1: in Houston, which is the city Van and his family

437
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: moved to when they came over from Me and mar

438
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: and he wanted it as early as February. So Van

439
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: took to social media and seemed to confirm it by

440
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 1: tweeting Houston, Texas at Menel Cop, let's run it. Talk

441
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: is cheap and he added out the UFC so Cop

442
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: at the post fight Pests conference talked more about Joshua

443
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: Van and yes you could guess it was spicy enough

444
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 1: that we had to make a phone call and dial

445
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: see for Quervo. Because it's time for a little bit

446
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: shots fired folks, and you already know that Shots Fired

447
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Quervo. Now is a good

448
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: time to enjoy the tequila that invented tequila. Here is

449
00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: Manel cop talking about what he gonna do to Joshua

450
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: Van if you do get the title shot, can you

451
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 1: get out? Can you get out? Can you give it?

452
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: Well? What the fuck is that the remix?

453
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: That's the remix version?

454
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 5: That clip is fucking corrupt.

455
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm gonna take your diapers alive.

456
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: Well, you know it was gonna be a great clip.

457
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: Spoiler alert on what he said. He said he's going

458
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: to be Van's worst nightmare. He's going to finish him.

459
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:02,959
Speaker 1: Luke Thomas, there doesn't seem to be any reason why

460
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: the UFC, not only A wouldn't make this next, but

461
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 1: Flyways keep a busy calendar. I mean Van fought what

462
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 1: like five times and twelve months coming into that. Could

463
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,200
Speaker 1: we see this as a main or co main event

464
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: for a plee? Not in February because there's no ples

465
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 1: that month, Because we're doing back to back weeks to

466
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,200
Speaker 1: kick off the Paramount era. But like March, you could

467
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: see this.

468
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah. And I also feel like this is one

469
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 3: of those fights where in one of those divisions where

470
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 3: like you know, UFC is going to be like, hey,

471
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: we need to fill a slot, like you may not

472
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 3: get a full amount of time, but you just got

473
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 3: to kind of make do. So I think they're going

474
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 3: to kind of test all the contenders here to kind

475
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 3: of see who really wants it. I mean, we'll see,

476
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: you know, we'll see what they're planning.

477
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 1: Like I think Cop should be favored over Van. That's

478
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 1: not crazy, that's not crazy.

479
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: Top favorite over Van.

480
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 1: Deeper experience just knocked out the guy that Van had

481
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 1: to breakthrough win against.

482
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:53,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you know, because I don't want to play

483
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 3: too much Mma math. As you indicated, he went a

484
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: little bit of tooth and nail Van did with Royville,

485
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: and then Will got blasted out like Hanan out of

486
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 3: a cops because being sut of a round. Yeah, I

487
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: can see that if.

488
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 1: It was a different Cop would be like shot the

489
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: fuck up, your little prank.

490
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 3: Shot the fuck up. Yet, we thank you.

491
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: We may not have had the clip we wanted for

492
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: shots fired, but when Cop speaks, shots are always getting fired.

493
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,119
Speaker 1: Here's Cop breaking down how much of a star. Remember

494
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:22,440
Speaker 1: he's what a Golan born and but resides in Portugal.

495
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: Him making a statement of how big of a star

496
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 1: he is. In the sporting culture in Portugal.

497
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 9: We always see the c R seven Christian Renaldo celebration

498
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 9: after you were and so what do you think that

499
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 9: would do for you? Say you get the title fight,

500
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 9: you know, on a big stage, and the whole world

501
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 9: sees you do that celebration, you know from a that's

502
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 9: you know, a tribute to a global icon.

503
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 7: It will be amazing, it will be amazing.

504
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 8: You know.

505
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 7: I bought in Angola. I represent my country very very well,

506
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 7: always into my blood that come from mother of Africa.

507
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 7: But I grew up in Portugal and I played soccer

508
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 7: for a long time. That's why I celebrate the way

509
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 7: I celebrate. I never I never forgot my root, you

510
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 7: know what I bought and never forget to where I

511
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 7: grow up. So this is something mean to me because

512
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 7: in Portugal Christian Ronald is the famous thing, big thing

513
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 7: and second playerson that is Manel And right now in

514
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 7: sports in Angola, I'm the big thing there.

515
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: Luca is Manel cop number two to Christiano Ronaldo in Portugal.

516
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 3: Well, I was in Lisbon over the summer and I

517
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: saw a lot of iconography of c R seven, a.

518
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: Whole lot nobody grabbing any diperson, you know, I forgot.

519
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 3: There was a sign the big billboard and one of

520
00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 3: the main thoroughfares that said, I'm going to take your

521
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 3: diapers alive. I don't know how you say that in Portuguese,

522
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 3: but that's what they wrote. Listen, doesn't matter if he

523
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 3: is or he isn't. Portugal is a growing market, but

524
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 3: it's not. This is not some kind of geographic priority

525
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 3: for the UFC, And I don't think really matters. What

526
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 3: really matters is did this guy earn it? Is he

527
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 3: a threat? And could this be a fun fight? And

528
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 3: I think the good news from an is it checks

529
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 3: all three right, Really, it's gonna be a good fight.

530
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 3: He can win it, and he deserves it.

531
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: Look, he's a fun villain, he really is. He delivers

532
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: in the cage with finishes. He delivers often on the microphone,

533
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:12,600
Speaker 1: a lot of hits, with a lot of misses with

534
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,240
Speaker 1: those hits. But uh, right guy, right time? Division turned

535
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: upside down. Let's go cop van versus cop, cop versus van.

536
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: However you want to do.

537
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 4: It right there, Luke?

538
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 1: Should We've been concerned though about the multiple memes on

539
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: X of putting cop in a bra I mean, are

540
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 1: you seeing this, Luke, Let's play a new segment called

541
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: Gino or not Guino.

542
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 3: That's not great?

543
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 1: All right?

544
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 3: You know that's not great. That's definitely a problem. Okay.

545
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: I mean your your former favorite toy in the box

546
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: at Israel Ota Sonia has that same thing.

547
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 3: Which you know mysterious circumstances.

548
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: Let's say that was.

549
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 4: Shots fire brought to you by Quervo.

550
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Now's a good time to enjoy the tequila that invented tequila.

551
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 1: To stay on top of this topic a little bit

552
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: more at age thirty three, Luke, what do I feel

553
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 1: like is left for Brandon roy Vall and is there

554
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,480
Speaker 1: a strategic adjustment or evolution to his game that is

555
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: not only possible but would be necessary if he has

556
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: hopes of making one more run to the to the

557
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: top of the line.

558
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, he he's I mean, this fight didn't

559
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 3: go great obviously for him, but BC would you would

560
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 3: agree he's largely competitive with the top of this division.

561
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: He's a step short seemingly every time, but he's always,

562
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 3: for the most part there or you know, are pretty close.

563
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:29,920
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say it's a couple of things. I think

564
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 3: the physicality of the game is not He's got a

565
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 3: little bit of dias in him, with that sort of

566
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: that lankiness that sometimes can show up when he can

567
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 3: really get moving downhill, but that somewhat is stylistically dependent.

568
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 3: That's a big problem. The other thing I'm going to

569
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 3: sort of point out here is, you know, he gets

570
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 3: hit a little too much BC. I mean, some guys

571
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 3: can afford to do that if they've got you know,

572
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 3: if josh Van gets hit a lot. But he's twenty four, right,

573
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: so his chin is not completely compromised. I'm not saying

574
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: that roy VAL's chinny. I'm saying he's just much further

575
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 3: down the road in terms of punishment that he's absorbed.

576
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 3: But to me, it's like getting on that jab. Dude,

577
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: I just see this all the time. It just blows

578
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: my mind how much you know. Again, and Rouville skilled

579
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,199
Speaker 3: and has definitely Again I thought some of what he

580
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 3: was trying early in that fight. I really liked what

581
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 3: they had an idea for. But I just really believe you.

582
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 3: If you if wrestling is not going to be a

583
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,280
Speaker 3: lights out defensive phenomenon for you, your jab better be. Yeah,

584
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 3: And I think you know that's not going to fix

585
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 3: all the problems. I think some strength and conditioning could

586
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 3: fix it as well. But I do believe that the

587
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,719
Speaker 3: ability to dictate range and make guys make bad choices

588
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 3: at the end of your job is just a game changer.

589
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: In mind.

590
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: Maybe mixing some takedowns pretty sturdy takedown.

591
00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 3: He has great takedown defense. Yeah, but if you if

592
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 3: you want to do a takedown attempt that you know

593
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: is going to fail, but you're setting up some other

594
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:46,480
Speaker 3: kind of offense. Sure.

595
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: They had mentioned on the broadcast that Cop had said

596
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 1: in the Fighter meetings that he felt royval didn't respect

597
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 1: the power of his opponents. That was certainly the case

598
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: against Van when it seemed like Royvall's whole game plan

599
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,400
Speaker 1: was I'm just gonna blitz him full on the whole

600
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,719
Speaker 1: time for fifteen minutes and see if he can take it.

601
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 1: To his credit, he took it. You think that's what

602
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 1: ultimately caught up to Roy Vault in this fight against

603
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: Cop just not having enough respect. Cop was backing him

604
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: up throughout in that first round before finishing.

605
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: You know, I looked at the finishing sequence and he

606
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 3: gets him backed up as you indicated, and then kind

607
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 3: of stuttersteps as he's moving into range and you can

608
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 3: see him draw back and it look like you can

609
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: watch the decision making of Royval. He tries to greet

610
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 3: him because remember previously before that Cop had been kind

611
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:31,480
Speaker 3: of going down to the body, and I think he

612
00:29:31,560 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: thought he was going to catch him coming in going

613
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 3: down to the body. Instead he got caught coming upstairs, right,

614
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: So he was trying to play almost like a speed

615
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: anticipation game with him wild backed up against the fence,

616
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,360
Speaker 3: and that's just real, real risky to do that. And

617
00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 3: also Cop fast hands, dynamic finisher. If he gets you hurt,

618
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 3: I think that's a pretty good way to put it.

619
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: He was just he miscalculated, and you know, you gotta

620
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 3: be real, real careful when you're up against the cage

621
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: like that, and I think he got a defensively a

622
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: little bit lax and one one mistakes.

623
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: Seven and one run for Cop, which came after losing

624
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: his first two UFC fights. Five of those have been

625
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 1: by knockout three consecutives. So let's go to our betting

626
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: expert Long Island, Luke Nosda. I teased it earlier. I

627
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: think Cop should actually be the betting favorite. How would

628
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: you what what line would you assign for this title fight?

629
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:23,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a tough one, man, I might go pick

630
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 6: him on this like minus one ten either direction.

631
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: What's your hesitation on coping on?

632
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 6: Cop is his ground game, But Joshua Van isn't gonna

633
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 6: test his ground game like Mohammed Makay have beat him

634
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 6: by just taking him down.

635
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 5: I think if he faces a good wrestler, he's fucked.

636
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 6: There's not really a good wrestler in the division right now,

637
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 6: so like he's kind of got a wide open.

638
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 5: I'll give Cops as No, I'm going minus one ten

639
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:45,120
Speaker 5: either direction.

640
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,920
Speaker 1: That's my That's interesting, Okay, okay, I'd be down with that.

641
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,280
Speaker 1: I'd take that. So menel Cop breaking through in the

642
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: main event. But before we get into the co main

643
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,200
Speaker 1: event and everything else on the card, it's time for

644
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 1: your weekly history lesson here, because now's a good time

645
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: to remember the story where the true story of where

646
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 1: Tequila story truly began. Let me take it back to

647
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: seventeen ninety five. See this on my chest here Cuervo. Yeah,

648
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: they messed around and invented tequila. And since then all

649
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Quervo has been doing staying true to its roots. We're

650
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: talking same family, same land, most importantly, that same passion,

651
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 1: because two hundred and thirty years later, Cuerevo is still

652
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 1: right here in every pore, in every margarita, in every celebration,

653
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: in every Morning Combat pregame preview. So enjoy the tequila

654
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 1: that started at all Quervo, the tequila that invented tequila.

655
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: Proxymoquervo dot com. Please drink responsibly and Luke. Unfortunately I

656
00:31:38,840 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 1: won't be in attendance for it, but our next Morning

657
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: Combat pregame preview would have to be in the build

658
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: up to that January twenty fourth, UFC three twenty four

659
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: card on Paramount CBS. Do you know what I'm talking about?

660
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 1: In Las Vegas?

661
00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:51,040
Speaker 3: So we'll see how that goes.

662
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: Get ready for that?

663
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: Right there, Let's go into our second topic, which was

664
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 1: the co main event, the breakout run of twenty four

665
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: year old Argentine. Get this right, how would missus Thomas

666
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: do it? Kevin Viajejos pretty close, Yeah, very much, Kevin Vejejos.

667
00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 1: Uh boy did he end it for Giga Chakadzi with

668
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: some light highlight reel spinny shit in round one? And

669
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 1: now the Argentine pocket Rocket is seventeen and one as

670
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,600
Speaker 1: a pro looke. Look at this view from cage side.

671
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: Look at that good lord, another spinning knockout for twenty

672
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: twenty five, which has been on a trend seventeen and

673
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: one twelve KOs as a pro. The only loss that

674
00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: first daya White Contender Series decision loss to Lord g

675
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: and Silva. And now this brutal ko of the veteran

676
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 1: Giga Chikazi. The buzz for this fellow eight featherweight killer

677
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 1: is rising. What was most impressive to you, Luke about

678
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: el Chino's victory as he improved to three and ozer

679
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: inside the octagon.

680
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 3: The brutality of it. I mean, he looked a little

681
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:58,480
Speaker 3: I thought Giga won the first round, didn't you?

682
00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, yeah, I don't think Kevin was overly

683
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: impressive in that until he was.

684
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was kind of my read. Now he was

685
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 3: being he was he was being I think intentionally a

686
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:12,080
Speaker 3: little careful, which was probably smart. Mean, it worked out right,

687
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 3: so it was obviously smart. What I'm saying is, you know,

688
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,640
Speaker 3: he didn't get to offensively shine right away. He was

689
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,320
Speaker 3: fighting a very credential opponent. He was fighting a very

690
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 3: rangy opponent and a dangerous one, a dangerous kiregund as

691
00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 3: we indicated. You know, Gigo won that first round. I

692
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 3: thought Giga hurt him a little bit with some of

693
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 3: those shots to the body. They were pretty important, impressive,

694
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 3: but for a young guy like this to persevere come

695
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 3: back in round two, and you could see he was

696
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: steering Giga Chikazi into that, into that power hand and

697
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: then to get him to move in that direction again.

698
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 3: Up against the fence. Dude, up against the fence is

699
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 3: such a such a different scenario, even just one or

700
00:33:47,200 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 3: two feet in front of the cage, it's a completely

701
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 3: different thing. And he gets absolutely iced in BC. Once

702
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 3: he gets hit with it. He doesn't even have an

703
00:33:56,160 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 3: opportunity to rally because on his color lapsed descent to

704
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:03,959
Speaker 3: the mat, he gets hit with another one and then

705
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: he kind of goes like both arms are back, you know,

706
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 3: landing without being able to break. One of the things

707
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 3: they look for is do you brace yourself when you land,

708
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 3: and of course he cannot even brace himself. And then

709
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 3: you know, Fachejos is up there just fucking unloading on him.

710
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:18,920
Speaker 1: And let's see one more time.

711
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:22,280
Speaker 3: He is jack. He's fucking super check like ba bab

712
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 3: those elbows. He closed the door to recovery before Giga

713
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 3: even had an opportunity to try and turn the knob.

714
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:37,839
Speaker 3: He sealed it fucking shut. That kind of immediate brutality

715
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 3: and finishing instincts. If you can build around somebody like

716
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 3: that who's got the power and the patience, I'm gonna say,

717
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 3: plus the smarts to set up a guy fading into

718
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 3: your power side, which is what he was doing there, man,

719
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 3: or the outside the power side anyway is let's just

720
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 3: be it's very very last.

721
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:55,800
Speaker 1: He gave him the Mazzie Star.

722
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 3: The fade int.

723
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: The only thing I didn't like about Kevin Jajos's breakthrough

724
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: performance here in the co main event was the call

725
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,919
Speaker 1: out afterwards and never made Twitter didn't like it either

726
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 1: when he called out a retired All Action legend, of course,

727
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 1: Cub Swanson. I could think of many more names in

728
00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: the top fifteen, including some veterans. How about Brian Ortega

729
00:35:19,600 --> 00:35:22,080
Speaker 1: as a possible next appointment. But before we talk about that,

730
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:25,799
Speaker 1: here's a Jay host standing up for what he's really

731
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: trying to say and why that he thinks his call

732
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 1: out is perfect.

733
00:35:28,680 --> 00:35:31,279
Speaker 8: Your call out of Cubs, Swanson, why why'd you make

734
00:35:31,320 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 8: that call out?

735
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 10: Seems like there might be some guys higher up they

736
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:37,400
Speaker 10: should fight if Cubs fight again.

737
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:42,000
Speaker 11: Uh, you know, Cub has been training pretty much every

738
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 11: fighter that they send to fight me. Every time I'm

739
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:48,319
Speaker 11: fighting somebody Cubs in the corner. Some might as well

740
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:51,359
Speaker 11: come up and let's fight. And also, I mean we're

741
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 11: talking about like the fact that a guy's a legend,

742
00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 11: the guy's got gracious boxing. It'll be amazing for us

743
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 11: to go at it. And I want to be a

744
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 11: legend hunter. I mean, there there's so many out there

745
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 11: to hunt and to get it, and I want to

746
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 11: be the person that actually fights them.

747
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:06,520
Speaker 3: So I think you'd be great. I think would be

748
00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 3: a war, a great fight for it.

749
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 1: But you know what, there's there's a little logic to

750
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 1: this that explains a lot better about we see.

751
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 3: I think his neck is hold she he has I

752
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,680
Speaker 3: mean his traps and necks like build up there. Yeah, Yeah,

753
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,319
Speaker 3: he's he's he's he's dice to the side.

754
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: Sorry, Long Island look reminded me offline that Brian Ortegas

755
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,600
Speaker 1: moving up to lightweight has a fight with rematch. But

756
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: you get My point is that I could pick out

757
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: other names I'd like to see him against. But at

758
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: the same time, the way he explains that that cub

759
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 1: has been sort of the hand picked guy in the

760
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 1: gym that's been prepping the guys to fight him, I

761
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 1: don't know, it's interesting. What would you prefer for if

762
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 1: you're thinking about it. We have something here, they have

763
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 1: something here, and this division needs that. This division has

764
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: gone through a lot of turnover to pour you out,

765
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: holloway out. You have an aging champion back on top.

766
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,560
Speaker 1: They're throwing Diego Lopez at him a second time. You

767
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:56,680
Speaker 1: have two number one contenders who you have seeddt want

768
00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 1: either of them to be in the next title fight.

769
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,319
Speaker 1: And then you've got some people that show flash in

770
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 1: the top ten. Lord Silva was one of them until

771
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: that defeat. Obviously he's gonna have a chance to bounce

772
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:08,359
Speaker 1: back coming up soon. But if you want to build

773
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:10,000
Speaker 1: him to be a star, what is the next fight?

774
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: Well, I just want to say I understand, like when

775
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:17,200
Speaker 3: Patty Pimblet has just beaten NKS after uns and then uh,

776
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 3: Buckley did it too. I mean, obviously that came to

777
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 3: an end with Buckley against usman, But as a general proposition,

778
00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 3: like I sort of get it right, let's pick on

779
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:29,359
Speaker 3: someone who's got a big name, who's yeah and then

780
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 3: aging and go after it. The problem is you got

781
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 3: to pick on someone who's still actively competing, and I think,

782
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 3: this is what do you have here? This?

783
00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:41,399
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is the kind of thing where oh

784
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: you gotta spit that song. Oh this is so mk

785
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 1: it's disgusting. I mean, wow, wow, Wow. We haven't seen

786
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,440
Speaker 1: this since Luke puked in the sink, after that room,

787
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: after that rooftop pregame preview, we did, Wow, the flem

788
00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:57,040
Speaker 1: has exited building? How gross was that?

789
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 8: Right? Y?

790
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,239
Speaker 1: Alrighty? Then yeah, look, I think you want a kind

791
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: of name you can build too, I mean long Island.

792
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: Look as let's just wait for him to come back, right.

793
00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 1: How many dirty looks did you get out there thrown

794
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: up in the garbage can? A few?

795
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:20,240
Speaker 3: Maybe?

796
00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 1: Or think they realized how much I looted from the

797
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:23,800
Speaker 1: fridge earlier?

798
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 3: Today. I was not going to swallow that. Wow. I

799
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 3: just spit up an abortion.

800
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: That was just what Okay, you just took wow.

801
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 3: Okay, this is why I'm leaving the show. People.

802
00:38:34,680 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 1: All right, well, I don't even know where you were

803
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,080
Speaker 1: because I was so taken off by that.

804
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 3: Well who should uh Kevin fight next?

805
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 1: Danny Gay?

806
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 5: Oh?

807
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,359
Speaker 3: Pitbull hit Bull would be perfect fun one? Right?

808
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:48,160
Speaker 1: All right?

809
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 3: What are you supposed to look it out with him?

810
00:38:49,560 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: Normally? If we're gonna mention Michael Bisbeting's commentary on here,

811
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,920
Speaker 1: unfortunately it's negative. I don't think he did an abrasive

812
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,360
Speaker 1: job on Saturday. By the way, Laura Sanko was great

813
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and she was wearing like the nineteen twenties

814
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,080
Speaker 1: mobster suit with like the gun holder and and.

815
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 3: Uh, I'll just say this about Laura very quickly. You

816
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 3: can like her dis like her commentary.

817
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 1: Everyone.

818
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 3: Everyone's gonna have preferences. Show me somebody on that broadcasting

819
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 3: team who does more prep in the color side of

820
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 3: the Obviously Fitzgerald and Annik they you know, they go crazy.

821
00:39:15,480 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 3: But on the color side of commentary, she does the

822
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: homework and it shows.

823
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,319
Speaker 1: Indeed Bisbeying had an interesting comparison, not an apples to

824
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 1: apples comparison, he said, ultimately, But he said, does the

825
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: jay host remind you of another young featherweight knockout artist

826
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,160
Speaker 1: in eliot Ta Poria. Now he's more compact and shorter,

827
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 1: but the way he carries his hands, the way he

828
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: has responsible defense, the way he's got that sort of

829
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: one punch power. Did you get it? Are you getting

830
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: any of the feels from a young featherweight to Poria

831
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:47,160
Speaker 1: that you're seeing in Kevin vijejos Kevin Viageen, how about that?

832
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 3: Not yet? Not yet? But he's well on his way.

833
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:57,240
Speaker 3: He's he doesn't need to be the next to Pooria.

834
00:39:57,360 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 3: I don't know, like, am I feeling like that? And

835
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 3: exactly no? But clearly he is good. Clearly he has

836
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,800
Speaker 3: got a bright future. He's super young. We need to

837
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 3: celebrate as many of these younger fighters that we can

838
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 3: who have had success more recently, him being one of them. Obviously,

839
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,240
Speaker 3: I don't exactly know where it's all headed.

840
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: If they put him in a comaine at twenty four,

841
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: like they did on Saturday against a decent name in Giga,

842
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: they got big plans for him, and he's.

843
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:26,240
Speaker 3: Clearly scure for sure. I just mean there are still

844
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: a lot of unanswered questions about everything, that's all.

845
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: I mean. Eventually he's going to rematch Lord Silva and

846
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: it's going to.

847
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:32,120
Speaker 3: Be fantastic, right eventually.

848
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,000
Speaker 1: Do you remember that fight on Dana Walking Tender series.

849
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 3: I haven't seen it in so long. I saw what happened.

850
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,360
Speaker 6: Do you remember Nocina It was an unanimous decision for

851
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:41,600
Speaker 6: John Silva. I don't really remember it like that. But

852
00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:43,719
Speaker 6: if John Silva loses to Arnold Allan, I feel like

853
00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 6: you could actually make that fight next.

854
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: You could wise good. Yeah, you could.

855
00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: Luke four losses in his last five. Now for the

856
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:55,080
Speaker 1: thirty seven year old Chakazi, and.

857
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:58,000
Speaker 3: He was brutal, viciously.

858
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: Pfl or what uh this is?

859
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we don't take any pleasure, and

860
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,399
Speaker 3: it's like it doesn't do anything for us to say

861
00:41:05,400 --> 00:41:07,120
Speaker 3: any of this stuff. But like, if you're thirty seven,

862
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 3: you're being this is this is the way it goes.

863
00:41:09,040 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: I mean, you did, you were like we should do

864
00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:12,640
Speaker 1: fifty percent off Gigo shirt's in our website. I got

865
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 1: solid bance a little.

866
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say that, but the truth is, you know,

867
00:41:15,400 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 3: we some guys the ending is very quick, but a

868
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 3: lot of times we'll see is exactly what you're seeing

869
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 3: with Giga, where they're losing and then it starts to

870
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 3: get violently losing. Uh, and it gets worse and worse.

871
00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 1: Fun to watch. It's just it's a life cycle of

872
00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: combat sports.

873
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 3: The reality is, if you're at that stage and you

874
00:41:31,239 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 3: want to keep fighting, that's one decision to make. But

875
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 3: if you're going to do what, you have to have

876
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 3: it with recalibrated level of opposition, right because it's just

877
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 3: too dangerous to be fighting guys like this.

878
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:44,920
Speaker 1: Definitely, definitely have we seen enough about Kevin to know

879
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: where the question areas might be in terms of a

880
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 1: complete game. I'm not saying he's going to fight a

881
00:41:50,040 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: top five guy next, nor should he, I think more veterans.

882
00:41:53,120 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: He's saying he wants to be the Randy Orton legend killer.

883
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 3: Like that's fine, be that guy the one dimension and

884
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 3: I'm I'm exaggerating, Okay, I'm exact exaggerating what the issue is,

885
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 3: but something like the idea that he's got a little

886
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 3: bit of a one dimensional game where if he can

887
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 3: get to you with the boxing clear or you know,

888
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 3: MMA boxing where you can do spinning backfist and stuff.

889
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 3: Clearly it's formidable, but there's a question about whether or

890
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:17,360
Speaker 3: not someone who is a little bit rangier than Giga,

891
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:18,920
Speaker 3: who has a great job, can he get around that.

892
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 3: What if he's getting wrestled to death the whole time?

893
00:42:21,440 --> 00:42:22,759
Speaker 3: How does he deal with that? Like, I mean, what

894
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 3: does a mosar due to him? You know, these are

895
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,399
Speaker 3: unanswered questions. We just don't know. So this is why

896
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:33,760
Speaker 3: I'm like, is what we've seen really cool? Totally? Yeah,

897
00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 3: but we're at the stage of the division now where

898
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 3: the questions become much more significant and we don't really

899
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 3: know how a lot of this is gonna go.

900
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's not put him on the stage North Cup

901
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: plan too soon?

902
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:44,439
Speaker 3: Here.

903
00:42:45,640 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 1: El Chino same nickname as Argentine boxing hero Marcos my

904
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:52,560
Speaker 1: don I remember asking Marcos ahead of the Floyd Maywea

905
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,720
Speaker 1: their first pay per view fight, how'd you get that nickname?

906
00:42:54,760 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: He's like, I had slanted eyes as a kid, so

907
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 1: they thought I was Chinese. How is this nickname still

908
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: prevalent in twenty twenty five?

909
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, all right, let me let me explain this

910
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:05,640
Speaker 3: to you, because this was a hard learning lesson for

911
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 3: me in all right, can a ringo tell this story?

912
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 3: Let me be very careful.

913
00:43:12,960 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 1: First time lu had that thought on this show. Normally

914
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 1: he's like, I'm I'm Columbia.

915
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:20,920
Speaker 3: I'm the guy. Yeah, okay, I don't want to overly generalize,

916
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 3: but here's something that I've seen and it's not specific

917
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: to anyone Latin American country. They bro, if you're Korean,

918
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 3: they'll call you El Chino. If you're Japanese, they'll call

919
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 3: you el Chino. If you're anything like that, they'll call you.

920
00:43:35,360 --> 00:43:37,640
Speaker 3: And also, chino could also mean boy. It can also

921
00:43:37,719 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 3: mean boy. It doesn't necessarily mean but dude.

922
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 1: Like so my donna told me how he meant it.

923
00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: I don't know how Vijejos mean.

924
00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, bro, if here here's how you get

925
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:48,000
Speaker 3: a nickname in Latin America, and I'm dead serious. If

926
00:43:48,040 --> 00:43:50,000
Speaker 3: you show up a little bit overweight, they'll be like, oh,

927
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 3: here's El Glorido. If you're if you're you know, you know,

928
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:54,800
Speaker 3: like like whatever, whatever.

929
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,120
Speaker 1: Your pants as soon as you land. Yeah, yeah, like

930
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:58,320
Speaker 1: you know, you're the Luke Thomas.

931
00:43:58,400 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 3: Like, if you have your ugly they'll be like, oh,

932
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 3: there's you know, ka. Yeah, so that's other ways to

933
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:06,359
Speaker 3: do it. I'm just saying, like they have ways of

934
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:11,160
Speaker 3: like both racializing nicknames as well as just being very

935
00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 3: brutal in their like visible assessment of it. But Gino

936
00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:16,640
Speaker 3: can be boy, it can be a bunch of things.

937
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,600
Speaker 3: So I'm not sure. I'm not sure if it's just

938
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 3: boy or excuse me, that's Chico. What am I saying?

939
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 3: No Gino? No, I don't think that's right. I think gino.

940
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:27,560
Speaker 3: I don't fucking know anymore. Broken and she gus are

941
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 3: boys and girls?

942
00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 2: Right?

943
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:30,200
Speaker 3: So but she knows?

944
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,319
Speaker 4: Oh those are those short pants.

945
00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:34,400
Speaker 3: With the woman to call? To call my wife on

946
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 3: the air.

947
00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,319
Speaker 1: Yes, please, wife on the air line?

948
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 2: One?

949
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 1: Here we go.

950
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:39,959
Speaker 3: Are you ready. I'm gonna do it. Please, I'm gonna

951
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:40,839
Speaker 3: call my wife on the air.

952
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 1: Will she be okay with this?

953
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 3: About to find out?

954
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 1: All right?

955
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:45,239
Speaker 3: All right?

956
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 5: Ken says his friends used to call him Chino when

957
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:51,239
Speaker 5: he lived in l A.

958
00:44:51,360 --> 00:45:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds right me, Moore, Wait what you're on

959
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 3: the air. You're on the air. I'm calling I'm calling

960
00:45:04,200 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 3: you on there. I'm gonna make it quick. I'm gonna

961
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 3: make it quick. Okay. There's a fighter called El Chino.

962
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 3: He's from Argentina. Are they saying he looks Chinese? Yeah? No,

963
00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:24,800
Speaker 3: not necessarily. I'm sorry, I don't necessarily. I mean, does

964
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 3: he look.

965
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,520
Speaker 1: A little not really, not really, I.

966
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 2: Mean like at.

967
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:45,919
Speaker 3: Okay fighter, but okay, I feel like I'm just gonna

968
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 3: say something racist after this, so I'm just gonna let

969
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:52,799
Speaker 3: it go. Yeah. I love you, man Moore, Thank you

970
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:53,560
Speaker 3: so much, Tamo.

971
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: Great moments in MK history. So you go, we got

972
00:45:58,760 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: to the bottom of it.

973
00:45:59,480 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 2: There we go.

974
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: Hey, let's move on to topic number three, uh, the

975
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: UFC Apex undercard, and let's stick into those prelims because

976
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 1: we found we found a pfl a star fighter who

977
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: could make the transition, and that came in the form

978
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:16,520
Speaker 1: a former Ukrainian Army soldier, by the way, and former

979
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 1: Belator MMA welterweight champion Yarisov Amasov, who finally made that

980
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: UFC debut two years after exiting Belator with that knockout

981
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: loss to Jason Jackson. He did some war time in

982
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 1: the of course, in the Russia Ukraine conflict, and he

983
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:34,200
Speaker 1: went in against Neil Magni and systematically took him down

984
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:38,160
Speaker 1: and submitted him. So Luke, unlike Patricio pipull Aaron Pico

985
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: Pachi mix and unfortunately this trend of bellator stars coming

986
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,160
Speaker 1: in and just getting wiped out. Yaroslav advanced his pro

987
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:49,920
Speaker 1: record to twenty nine and one. Overall, he looked ton

988
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:53,240
Speaker 1: of wrong. He looked like as cut as.

989
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 3: Possible, like tremendous zero percent body fat condition.

990
00:46:57,440 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 1: So he's thirty two years old, he has an insanely

991
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: great record, beat a lot of names of guys that

992
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: were either in the UFC or that we consider very

993
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,480
Speaker 1: high caliber of guys that are outside of It blows

994
00:47:07,520 --> 00:47:11,920
Speaker 1: away Magni. So at age thirty two, does Amasof appear

995
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,400
Speaker 1: to be ready for the top five of the sport's

996
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,320
Speaker 1: deepest division here at one seventy right now.

997
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say yes, I'm gonna say yet. Now, beating

998
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 3: Neil Magne by itself doesn't prove that.

999
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:27,080
Speaker 1: Twenty nine to one record. It says something twenty nine

1000
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:27,560
Speaker 1: to one.

1001
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: He rolled right over Magne. I mean, I'm Magnique, you know,

1002
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 3: brought the fight to him for a little bit. But

1003
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 3: his the skill on the ground that Amisov showed was tremendous. Amasof,

1004
00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,319
Speaker 3: to me, looks a little slow physically, I don't think

1005
00:47:39,320 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 3: he's a spark plug in terms of like athleticism, and

1006
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,400
Speaker 3: I do think that's gonna limit what his upside is.

1007
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 4: And his striking isn't at the level of like Islam.

1008
00:47:47,719 --> 00:47:51,120
Speaker 3: It's not. But he's young, he's experienced, he obviously has

1009
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:53,680
Speaker 3: a ton of different skills. And do that finish of

1010
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,000
Speaker 3: the anaconda basically doing it from I think it was

1011
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:57,239
Speaker 3: either mountain or no, it was half guard because he

1012
00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 3: had to put the pole the top leg out and

1013
00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 3: then the mechanics of the finish both in readjusting the

1014
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,799
Speaker 3: bicep grip and then using the leg on top to

1015
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:07,239
Speaker 3: keep the one arm extended in a way. Dude, this

1016
00:48:07,480 --> 00:48:11,360
Speaker 3: was expert shit. I mean he made that look effortless.

1017
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 3: And Neil Magni is we know what he is, right,

1018
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: Is he the best fighter that they have? No, but

1019
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 3: he's a pretty good measuring stick. If you can beat

1020
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:20,920
Speaker 3: a guy like that, especially convincingly, you are gonna have

1021
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 3: interesting fights at the top of the division of that.

1022
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:23,960
Speaker 3: I can say.

1023
00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 1: Tied for second Magni most wins in UFC history.

1024
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again beating him it doesn't mean you're gonna

1025
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 3: be a champion, but it means you're gonna fight other

1026
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,399
Speaker 3: interesting contenders and probably have some good fights along the way.

1027
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 3: Count me in. Dude. Amasov was a guy that we've

1028
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,440
Speaker 3: been or a mosav Is. There's a different pronunciation of

1029
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 3: it apparently, but in any case, he was a fund

1030
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 3: His first fight with Logan Storley was one of the

1031
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 3: best fights at aired on CBS at the time when

1032
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 3: Belta was airing on CBS Sports Net. I remember that distinctly.

1033
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 3: I'm so glad he's here. Dude, Welterwait is so freaking hot.

1034
00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 3: And finally, by the way, a guy coming over from

1035
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 3: belt or Slash, PFL t UFC. They started him off

1036
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 3: modestly with the right kind of test. It didn't put

1037
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 3: him on a big card, and he aced it good.

1038
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 3: That's the kind of thing I want to see, and

1039
00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 3: it speaks to his veteran savvy.

1040
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: He had that first round submission of Curtis Millinder UFC

1041
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: vat earlier in the year on the regionals. Now comes

1042
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: out with this, so look sports steepest division. You get

1043
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: another name added potentially here to the top fifteen that

1044
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: we feel like is a at least a dark horse

1045
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,719
Speaker 1: to the title. Maybe in the same way that we

1046
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 1: felt Renier der Ritter was when he put together that

1047
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,160
Speaker 1: quick little wind streak coming over from one championship, So Luke,

1048
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:33,920
Speaker 1: even though Amasov's or a Mosovs striking not on the

1049
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:36,239
Speaker 1: level of an Islam, when Islam did what he did

1050
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: at MSG to Jack Dela Madelena and just controlled him

1051
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 1: wrestling wise, what do we say after that? We're like, yeah,

1052
00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: we want to see Islam against every big name in

1053
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:50,160
Speaker 1: this division, but who maybe outside of Shavka, could potentially

1054
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:53,520
Speaker 1: not get overwhelmed on the ground, could put up a

1055
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: real fight against that. Do you feel like if he

1056
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 1: worked his way all the way to a title shot

1057
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: against Islam, you certain wouldn't favor him. But is he

1058
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 1: great enough on the ground that that is a potentially

1059
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 1: different fight than Islam would have against maybe anybody else.

1060
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 3: Not that that's gonna be more of a I mean, this

1061
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 3: is where you're gonna call upon Islam's well roundedness, because

1062
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 3: I think Islam is probably better than just about anybody

1063
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 3: on the ground, but those differences could be marginal to

1064
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,440
Speaker 3: where he can't really get much control or much ground

1065
00:50:20,440 --> 00:50:22,760
Speaker 3: and pound, and so the vast majority of his resources

1066
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 3: are going to have to be spent having a battle

1067
00:50:24,920 --> 00:50:26,719
Speaker 3: on the feet, and I think he'll probably do that.

1068
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:29,680
Speaker 3: But to that point, b see, if you're making Islam

1069
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 3: steer away from what you do well in order to

1070
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 3: accommodate a different thing, that kind of speaks to the

1071
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 3: level here. I'm just excited to see him. I mean,

1072
00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,080
Speaker 3: just think about it. Amasov Buckley, Sure, Amasov Gary, I mean,

1073
00:50:41,120 --> 00:50:43,719
Speaker 3: I think that's right around the thing. Amasov Brady to

1074
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 3: ground specialists, go, how does that go? Fucking A?

1075
00:50:46,280 --> 00:50:50,800
Speaker 1: Let's go, how would we summarize Amasov's slugging or i'mti striking?

1076
00:50:51,080 --> 00:50:54,799
Speaker 1: He was stopped by Jason Jackson. There thrown for that,

1077
00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:58,440
Speaker 1: But is it adequate for elite elite play here?

1078
00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:01,880
Speaker 3: Is it enough to win a UFC title? I don't

1079
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,760
Speaker 3: think so. But is it enough to make a great

1080
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,560
Speaker 3: account for himself overall? I do think so.

1081
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:12,439
Speaker 1: Yes, he's got stamina, He's wow. Let's throw that video.

1082
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 1: Remember throwback to when he was on the front lines

1083
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,719
Speaker 1: of the war. This was him after the house he

1084
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 1: lived in Ukraine got bombed, he went to the cross

1085
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,120
Speaker 1: space below, pulled out his Belatoor title. At the time,

1086
00:51:23,160 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: he was the active defending champion, so Luke, he got

1087
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 1: stopped by Jackson after wartime. Right, that's how the timeline worked,

1088
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 1: because they found his own belt in the basement of

1089
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: the rubble of his house.

1090
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think something like that remarkable. Whatever.

1091
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:38,360
Speaker 1: So at the press conference, I don't know if you

1092
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: heard this on Saturday, he gave a little message to

1093
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,200
Speaker 1: those who like to refer to fights as wars. Luke,

1094
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 1: you don't like that.

1095
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,920
Speaker 12: And when people said can say like, hey, this is

1096
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 12: next fight, we'll be like war or maybe I go

1097
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:56,480
Speaker 12: tomorrow to the people, guys, if you don't know what

1098
00:51:56,600 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 12: is it, one, shut up, you can you can talk

1099
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:04,640
Speaker 12: about this because this is this is not act alone.

1100
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 12: This is not fighting, This is not like, this is

1101
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:15,160
Speaker 12: different life. This is not like hard training, hard cutwait,

1102
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:22,800
Speaker 12: something something more you can you can dead every second

1103
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 12: and your friend can dead.

1104
00:52:29,280 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 3: And this is.

1105
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:32,880
Speaker 2: Different.

1106
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 12: And this is my country now, my country four years

1107
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:38,480
Speaker 12: felt this.

1108
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 1: Look here is something you can't understand what it's potentially

1109
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 1: like on the front lines to have to kill a man.

1110
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, don't be talking about don't

1111
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 1: be talking about wars anymore.

1112
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I mean it seems I mean I've never

1113
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 3: been but the people I've talked to you go to war.

1114
00:52:53,960 --> 00:52:56,799
Speaker 3: They don't ever really glamorize it for the most part.

1115
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,319
Speaker 3: How could you They tend to treat it with slim.

1116
00:53:00,440 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, indeed, right there, Wow, I do. I found this

1117
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:06,719
Speaker 1: interesting clip though, because we're talking about what type of

1118
00:53:06,719 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 1: matchups would you like to see Amasov in in this

1119
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 1: top fifteen? Well, you know everyone, basically let's see what

1120
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 1: he's got. Did you hear back in November when Ian

1121
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,520
Speaker 1: Gary was asked about the potential of amasof coming into

1122
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,920
Speaker 1: it did not? Let's listen.

1123
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 12: I wanted to ask you about the news signing that

1124
00:53:21,440 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 12: UFC has done in the miltarweight division.

1128
00:53:31,960 --> 00:53:34,600

00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 8: in the world is the guy who holds the UFC belt.

00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:39,600

Speaker 3: Buss? Yeah?

1133
00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:45,719
Speaker 8: Right, Let me ask you a question, whoever he is?

1134
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,920
Speaker 8: I don't mean any disrespect to this man, him versus

1135
00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:51,960
Speaker 8: this on makashev get smashed. I don't know who he is,

Speaker 8: him versus me get smashed him versus Kylas patches unconscious him,

1137
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:00,960
Speaker 8: versus Mike Morales t kod him? Or is just anybody

1138
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:02,960
Speaker 8: in this division at the top of his sport. It

1139
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 8: is a different, different division, And you are talking about

1140
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:11,080
Speaker 8: the greatest division in UFC history right now, the welthweight division.

1141
00:54:11,120 --> 00:54:12,880
Speaker 8: Right now, My friend is the best in this sport.

1142
00:54:13,160 --> 00:54:15,880
Speaker 8: There is no conversation about it. So this guy, whoever

1143
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:17,879
Speaker 8: he is, I feel sorry for him.

1144
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:21,720
Speaker 1: You think mister Michadall has a different tune after Saturday's Fighter?

1145
00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,040
Speaker 1: Or are we building something? Did I just build something

1146
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:25,000
Speaker 1: a little bit?

1147
00:54:25,040 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a point too, Like I mean, honestly, again,

1148
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 3: I live through the WEC coming over. I lived through

1149
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 3: Pride coming over. I lived through Strike Force coming over.

1150
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:36,880
Speaker 3: They were a little bit Pride had some issues actually

1151
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 3: earlier which folks don't remember, but in general it worked

1152
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 3: out pretty well. You know, the Belchoor guy's coming over,

1153
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 3: the PUFOL guys coming over has not exactly gone as

1154
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 3: smoothly as those.

1155
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: Lately before that, it is, That's what I mean, I.

1156
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 3: Mean lately like this is this lip sort of last batch.

1157
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,880
Speaker 3: It's been a little bit not that great, So I

1158
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 3: think it's all right to have a sense of hey,

1159
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 3: you've got a lot more to prove here, and also

1160
00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 3: not for nothing. Gary's very good, Michael Morales is very good,

1161
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:02,640
Speaker 3: Carl Procas is very heavy handed. These are actually very

1162
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 3: big tests for him. But my point is, fuck it,

1163
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,600
Speaker 3: let's let's run it. Let's see what we got if.

1164
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,560
Speaker 1: You take anything away from Morning Combat today, fuck it right,

1165
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:15,960
Speaker 1: let's go. Yeah, let's talk on that main card about

1166
00:55:15,960 --> 00:55:20,719
Speaker 1: Brazil's own featherweight growing knockout Kane Melkie Costa A ed

1167
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 1: kick koh of Morgan Charier in a fight that was

1168
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,960
Speaker 1: ase basically a betting pick him on paper. Saw Costa

1169
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,880
Speaker 1: improved to five and oh with three stoppages, sent his

1170
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: own knockout loss to Steve Garcia two years ago. So, Luke,

1171
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:38,640
Speaker 1: in two years, he's won five fights, knocked out three,

1172
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: elevating the names each time. How impressed are you with

1173
00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 1: the turnaround for Melki Zel Coast Melkie?

1174
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:52,239
Speaker 3: That was that was so fantastic? Jesus, uh, oh God,

1175
00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 3: oh God?

1176
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: What happened?

1177
00:55:54,120 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 3: Rob Reiner? News that something just broke?

1178
00:55:56,560 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: Was it the sun?

1179
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 3: Rob Reiner and son Nick getting heated argument at Conan

1180
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 3: O'Brien's party over the weekend and then he apparently may

1181
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,200
Speaker 3: allegedly all Right, what I'm trying to make is BC dude,

1182
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:12,120
Speaker 3: how do you not live milky cost? How is that possible?

1183
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 3: We were talking on the weekend or sorry, on Friday

1184
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,840
Speaker 3: show about how fun his game has really become and

1185
00:56:17,840 --> 00:56:19,839
Speaker 3: how much he's putting everything together. And I don't if

1186
00:56:19,840 --> 00:56:21,440
Speaker 3: you guys noticed when he threw the head kick. It

1187
00:56:21,440 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 3: wasn't accidental. He was waiting because Charri Scherier he goes

1188
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 3: square as he moves and kind of like he kind

1189
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 3: of like waddles side to side. I mean, he's obviously athletic,

1190
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 3: but I'm saying the movement pattern and he got him

1191
00:56:32,840 --> 00:56:35,160
Speaker 3: right when he went square and then he threw the

1192
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 3: head around the Yeah, so he went like this kind

1193
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 3: of thinking it was going to be down rather than

1194
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,399
Speaker 3: two hands up. Also not for nothing, dude, Like one

1195
00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: hand up, that's that's like, that's not great. That's like

1196
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 3: being in a car accident and you're like I have

1197
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 3: airbags but no seat belt. It's like that's not gonna

1198
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: do the job all the time. So he had one

1199
00:56:55,040 --> 00:56:57,920
Speaker 3: hand down versus two hands up. Anyway, dude, it was

1200
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 3: just well timed, well executed. The knew exactly what the

1201
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,360
Speaker 3: plan is. Look at his physicality, look at him understanding

1202
00:57:03,400 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 3: the mission. He's just putting all the pieces of his

1203
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 3: game together. And to me, he's now owed a real

1204
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 3: ranked opponent.

1205
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,959
Speaker 1: How big because we want eleven to fifteen Jay Host

1206
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,000
Speaker 1: in the same division to match a little slower twenty

1207
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 1: four coming up Coast has been around fifteen. I mean,

1208
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: you wouldn't hate Danny Gay and name I mentioned for

1209
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:27,280
Speaker 1: for Jay Host, I mean Long Island. Look you believe

1210
00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,160
Speaker 1: her now on Costa, I mean, I love the emotion

1211
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: by the way he said on Friday.

1212
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 3: He was just high.

1213
00:57:31,760 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 5: I said I was just high.

1214
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,160
Speaker 6: No, I said Morgan would win on Friday. But I

1215
00:57:35,160 --> 00:57:37,160
Speaker 6: have been high on Milkie this whole like little Runn

1216
00:57:37,200 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 6: he's on.

1217
00:57:38,240 --> 00:57:40,840
Speaker 5: I think I like Patricio.

1218
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: All right, I wouldn't hate that either. We got the

1219
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,840
Speaker 1: bill thrown in here a lot we got to build

1220
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:45,720
Speaker 1: towards Steve Garciri.

1221
00:57:45,800 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 3: Ma, you know it would be cool. I mean, I

1222
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 3: don't have what you want to do with it. But like,

1223
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 3: don't forget about Pico. Pico's still in this division.

1224
00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:52,360
Speaker 1: What are they going to do with him.

1225
00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:52,800
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1226
00:57:52,920 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: Send him to the Dana we Contender series.

1227
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:56,600
Speaker 3: I honestly don't know. I generally don't know.

1228
00:57:56,680 --> 00:57:58,840
Speaker 1: All right, well, let's keep on down that main card.

1229
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: We we did have a heavy poer. UFC rules every

1230
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:04,800
Speaker 1: Apex card must have a heavyweight about It was one

1231
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,560
Speaker 1: of the grossest that I've seen in a long time,

1232
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,560
Speaker 1: with weird scoring a point deduction, gassing out people in

1233
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 1: full mount for a full minute and not stopping the fight.

1234
00:58:13,160 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: But in the end Marcus Butchcha Almeida fell to five

1235
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,480
Speaker 1: two and one as a pro. Following this weird ass

1236
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:26,000
Speaker 1: draw with Kennedy and zechiqu Luke, you and I were

1237
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 1: texting each other basically what everybody else was tweeting at

1238
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: the moment. In fact, for end of the show duty

1239
00:58:31,640 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 1: over there from She Loves the Gloves tweeting I don't

1240
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 1: know who needs to hear this, but Butchicha is exceptionally

1241
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,680
Speaker 1: bad at MM damn duty just to harden the paint

1242
00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: there bad at MMA, Luke should we change his nickname?

1243
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: Based on the text exchanges, we had to boo Chicha,

1244
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:55,160
Speaker 1: pooh Chicha or butt cheek Chicha after jokes aside, the

1245
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 1: experiment of the crossover of one of the greatest BJJ

1246
00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,800
Speaker 1: guys of this era to a lead is not working

1247
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:01,120
Speaker 1: out for it.

1248
00:59:01,160 --> 00:59:04,960
Speaker 3: I think also boots could also work. Yes, yes, what's

1249
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 3: kind of funny, by the way, in the pronunciation of

1250
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 3: his name, because it's Marcus Almide is his real name.

1251
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:12,680
Speaker 3: But I've heard it. I've heard itha where like you

1252
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:16,640
Speaker 3: put the emphasis on the last one. Well, that's Portuguese different,

1253
00:59:16,680 --> 00:59:19,600
Speaker 3: And then i've heard where it's a h not an sh.

1254
00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:21,480
Speaker 3: So I don't fucking know how he pronounced his name.

1255
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 3: Oh my god, he's so bad. I can't I can't

1256
00:59:24,320 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 3: do if you I'm telling you, I'm telling you, if

1257
00:59:26,400 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 3: you watch this fucking guy rain hell over sport jiu jitsu,

1258
00:59:31,160 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 3: this is so shocking and so surprising. He doesn't take

1259
00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,000
Speaker 3: punch as well, which okay, a lot of guys don't.

1260
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:43,040
Speaker 3: That's not necessarily fatal by itself, although it's a problem.

1261
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 3: But the biggest thing that surprises me is a he

1262
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 3: struggles on takedowns, which okay, also by itself not fatal.

1263
00:59:52,040 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 3: But the real big one is he cannot pin. He

1264
00:59:55,320 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 3: cannot pin. He has a very difficult time.

1265
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,880
Speaker 4: I really strike either, even when he's in full mount.

1266
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:02,479
Speaker 3: I just don't get it. He has a hard time

1267
01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 3: holding someone down. And it's like, dude, these Russians. Like

1268
01:00:06,320 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 3: if when these Russians go into jiu jitsu tournaments like

1269
01:00:08,320 --> 01:00:09,960
Speaker 3: you've seen, for example, I want to make a point

1270
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:13,120
Speaker 3: one does this. Well, they'll have Mikey Mussamechi or one

1271
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 3: of the Rual Toolo brothers fight some guy from Sambo

1272
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:19,600
Speaker 3: who's like a world champion, and they'll fucking the Rual

1273
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:23,600
Speaker 3: Toolo brothers would just run them over, shred their knee completely.

1274
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 3: In these grappling context the jiu jitsu guys are clearly better.

1275
01:00:28,160 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 3: But when it comes time to translate to mma, the

1276
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:34,040
Speaker 3: wrestling and the judo that comes with Sambo and then

1277
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 3: the pinning that they're good at automatically translates so much better.

1278
01:00:38,680 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 3: I cannot believe. I cannot. I'm I'm it is heartbreak.

1279
01:00:43,240 --> 01:00:45,240
Speaker 3: As a guy who was in the twenty tens of

1280
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 3: bucheta super fan, Oh it pains me to watch.

1281
01:00:48,560 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 1: This and you know it's like, well, we don't mean

1282
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:54,439
Speaker 1: to dunk on him, but like it's it's as they're

1283
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 1: going to the decision, I'm like Okay, he probably won this,

1284
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 1: but they still might cut him anyway. I was steps

1285
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:00,439
Speaker 1: to what my mind was thinking. Then they're like draw,

1286
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:02,919
Speaker 1: and you're like, of course, let's run it back next week,

1287
01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: all right.

1288
01:01:03,480 --> 01:01:06,160
Speaker 3: And the draw made sense because he didn't lose the

1289
01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:08,760
Speaker 3: first the third round and we should say Kennedy was

1290
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:12,400
Speaker 3: just fouling him. I mean, the ipokes were terrible and

1291
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:14,200
Speaker 3: then the fence grabs.

1292
01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 4: The point away though on the ipoke, Yeah, which.

1293
01:01:15,640 --> 01:01:17,160
Speaker 3: Is how he got the ten eight in the second round.

1294
01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:19,120
Speaker 3: So then he lost the first and the third round.

1295
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:21,040
Speaker 3: And it's fine, but like, dude, for the third round

1296
01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 3: to end, for Kennedy to be in top position with

1297
01:01:23,520 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 3: same side risk control and using that to pin and

1298
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 3: then land a hammer down and then being flattened out,

1299
01:01:29,160 --> 01:01:32,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, oh my fucking god, bro, how did this happen?

1300
01:01:32,280 --> 01:01:34,440
Speaker 3: How did this happen? Yeah, it's disappointing.

1301
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: So do you serve him? You serve him up to

1302
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,760
Speaker 1: that Steve Hokit guy, Josh Hokit, whoever that gut, the

1303
01:01:40,880 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 1: NFL guy with the with the American problem.

1304
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 3: They probably will.

1305
01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Well, speaking of breakthrough preliminary card, weird

1306
01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: heavyweights who may or may not have a very good story.

1307
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:56,920
Speaker 1: Steven Asplundu nickname is uh, what's his nickname? Concrete like

1308
01:01:56,960 --> 01:02:00,000
Speaker 1: his father, but I call him uh. I'll suck your toe,

1309
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: Dana for an opportunity as plund Uh. This bit he does, Yeah,

1310
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: did did the nipple.

1311
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:06,560
Speaker 3: Bit, but I didn't love that.

1312
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: And his UFC debut has somewhat of a you know,

1313
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:12,520
Speaker 1: good story. He was once five hundred and twenty five pounds.

1314
01:02:12,960 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: He withered his weight down and look look at the

1315
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 1: difference between him. You got to give him that credit

1316
01:02:17,720 --> 01:02:19,200
Speaker 1: for the life turnaround that he's done here.

1317
01:02:19,280 --> 01:02:19,880
Speaker 3: Oh, no question.

1318
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,760
Speaker 1: He doesn't hide from the flabby body. But he gave

1319
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: like a speech as if he won an Emmy award

1320
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: afterwards and got everybody involved. Are you moved by this

1321
01:02:28,560 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: as a good story or is this like is he

1322
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,439
Speaker 1: doing enough to turn you off at the same time

1323
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 1: with that?

1324
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I mean look right, everyone I see

1325
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:40,920
Speaker 3: wants to focus in on one part of the story,

1326
01:02:41,200 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 3: which is the legitimately cool sup part of the story,

1327
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 3: and there.

1328
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: Is then he set a striking record for most significant

1329
01:02:46,520 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: strikes and heavyweight fighting a round or something like that.

1330
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 6: Just missed it, but he did it in two rounds,

1331
01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 6: where Cormier has the record in.

1332
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 1: A five round Okay, so he stopped Sewan sure Off

1333
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 1: in Yeah.

1334
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 3: So two things. One, he does have a fan friendly,

1335
01:02:58,200 --> 01:03:01,840
Speaker 3: pretty good fight style, which you gotta love. Yeah. Second

1336
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 3: of all, the dude saved his own life.

1337
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:04,800
Speaker 4: I love that part of it.

1338
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,439
Speaker 3: Like, you just can't hate on that. You cannot hate

1339
01:03:07,480 --> 01:03:10,400
Speaker 3: on someone to over five hundred pounds? What is I mean?

1340
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 3: I'm being dead serious. What is your life expectancy when

1341
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 3: you're that heavy? Like Thursday is the answer? You're that

1342
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 3: you're not gonna make it. He saved his own life

1343
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 3: and turned out to be a decent MMA fighter because

1344
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,919
Speaker 3: that's dog is exactly what he is, and he's a dog.

1345
01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 3: But I'm also just gonna say this, dude, like, if

1346
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 3: this is the state of your heavyweight division, your division

1347
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 3: is in disrepair, you know, And I'm not trying to

1348
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 3: be it sounds like I'm being insulting. I'm not trying

1349
01:03:35,680 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 3: to be. Like, the story of a guy rescuing himself

1350
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 3: and turning into a pretty decent athlete is nothing but commendable.

1351
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:48,040
Speaker 3: But if you had premier talent in your division, we

1352
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't even be talking about him. That's just the reality

1353
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 3: they would. You would if you had ver Doom, Overein,

1354
01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:57,640
Speaker 3: Barnett Kutz or all that guy brock Fade or pro

1355
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 3: cop if you had that era of heavyweights. We're not

1356
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 3: even having this conversation. We're not even there. And so

1357
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,919
Speaker 3: to me is like, on the one hand, I can

1358
01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 3: super appreciate that this guy saved his own life and

1359
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:12,280
Speaker 3: then you know there is going to be there for

1360
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,920
Speaker 3: his family and turned his life around. It's nothing but

1361
01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:18,680
Speaker 3: a success story. But it's also an example of the

1362
01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 3: heavyweight division just lacking depth. And I just there's no

1363
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 3: two ways about that.

1364
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:26,320
Speaker 1: That is true. At least these guys have personalities. Some

1365
01:04:26,400 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: of them have colose personalities. But at least when you're

1366
01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 1: tuning into the apex you're getting I don't know it

1367
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:33,919
Speaker 1: is what it is, Long Island. Look, were you moved

1368
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,000
Speaker 1: at all by his offensive production? And then the double

1369
01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 1: nipple dance.

1370
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 6: I mean the double nipple dance I expected, but I

1371
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:43,000
Speaker 6: wasn't like those shots weren't hard whatsoever. There he was

1372
01:04:43,040 --> 01:04:45,360
Speaker 6: just hitter pattern. But the amount of volume this guy's

1373
01:04:45,400 --> 01:04:48,200
Speaker 6: throwing it it's great, it's absurd. I'm excited to see

1374
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 6: him go three rounds and break that record, like very easily.

1375
01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Get So let's get him Walter Walker and Josh Hokit

1376
01:04:53,800 --> 01:04:55,920
Speaker 1: in a tournament against each other, just the same, you know,

1377
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,320
Speaker 1: one round a piece, keep rotating.

1378
01:04:57,360 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 3: Listen, he's earned I'll say this for him. He's earned

1379
01:05:00,240 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 3: everything he's gotten. You can't hate on that. And I'm

1380
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,240
Speaker 3: not gonna Yeah, I just I just wish we had

1381
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 3: like a bunch of world champions and other sports coming

1382
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,200
Speaker 3: over to this one like we used to.

1383
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean, we gotta they gotta figure out

1384
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:16,480
Speaker 1: that NIL things so we can get these American collegiate

1385
01:05:16,520 --> 01:05:20,200
Speaker 1: wrestlers to connect exactly. Trump wants to end it, wants

1386
01:05:20,240 --> 01:05:22,280
Speaker 1: to end nil to fix college sports.

1387
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,800
Speaker 3: Oh, I saw something about that. Interestingly, that's too much money,

1388
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 3: not gonna do.

1389
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: All right, Well, hey, the holidays are heating up. By

1390
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,280

01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:30,240
Speaker 1: here and it's cold.

1392
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,320

Speaker 1: Well done there, Let's go to the topic number four.

1421
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:08,640
Speaker 1: It was like we mentioned off the top the end

1422
01:07:08,680 --> 01:07:11,760
Speaker 1: of an era Saturday Night, right, somebody should break out

1423
01:07:11,760 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: a hot chip. I don't want that because the seven

1424
01:07:15,400 --> 01:07:19,560
Speaker 1: year marriage between UFC and ESPN was officially annulled following

1425
01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,919
Speaker 1: Saturday's final UFC Fight Night card of twenty twenty five,

1426
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 1: of course inside the Apex warehouse. So Luke, when you

1427
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,440
Speaker 1: look back to where the sport of MMA was in

1428
01:07:28,480 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen, when that ESPN deal started, to where it

1429
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: is today at the end of twenty five, before this

1430
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:38,280
Speaker 1: handoff to Paramount and CBS in the inaugural card there

1431
01:07:38,320 --> 01:07:41,560
Speaker 1: January twenty fourth in Las Vegas, in your eyes, would

1432
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,880
Speaker 1: have been the biggest pros and cons of the UFC

1433
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:45,640
Speaker 1: ESPN A.

1434
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:47,800
Speaker 3: I think this is a pretty simple one. I mean

1435
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:51,280
Speaker 3: people are gonna have different responses. People may or may

1436
01:07:51,320 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 3: not like ESPN. Plus that can be a thing. Are

1437
01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 3: you still subscribed, I am, well, you know what, real quickly,

1438
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 3: and we're gonna talk about PFL seeing everybody on social

1439
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 3: media being like, can't wait to cancel this, or posting

1440
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 3: pictures of them actually having canceled their ESPN. Plus, if

1441
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:07,560
Speaker 3: your PFL and you're looking at that, that has to

1442
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 3: be a kind of moment.

1443
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,880
Speaker 1: And then you've got the double paywall if your PFL

1444
01:08:10,920 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: as well.

1445
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 3: Right, I mean, they're in trouble. But okay, we'll talk

1446
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,840
Speaker 3: about that in a minute. But in terms of the

1447
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 3: ESPN on or UFC on ESPN, ERABC, by the way,

1448
01:08:19,560 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 3: started with a flyweight KO round one main event, ended

1449
01:08:23,160 --> 01:08:25,599
Speaker 3: with a flyweight KO round one main event.

1450
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:28,519
Speaker 1: Kind of funny, right, started in twenty nineteen. MK started

1451
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen.

1452
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 3: That's right. Oh yeah, we're gonna sorry, we're gonna keep going. Yeah,

1453
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 3: But in all seriousness, if all seriousness, I'll say two

1454
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 3: things to me. BC getting on ESPN when they did

1455
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,839
Speaker 3: coming off that Fox deal, it felt like an upgrade

1456
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:52,080
Speaker 3: because it was and it was a very particular kind

1457
01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:56,040
Speaker 3: of upgrade ESPN and in many ways still is, or

1458
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:58,559
Speaker 3: at least in certain certain respects, but certainly back then,

1459
01:08:59,200 --> 01:09:03,600
Speaker 3: you know, what as the brand leader in sports and

1460
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,639
Speaker 3: sports broadcasting. That was where the most important work happened,

1461
01:09:07,680 --> 01:09:09,600
Speaker 3: not everywhere, but in a lot of places, and it

1462
01:09:09,640 --> 01:09:11,559
Speaker 3: had some of the biggest names, and it was kind

1463
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 3: of like the standard bearer for quality in sports broadcasting

1464
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 3: at that time. Now, I think a lot of that

1465
01:09:16,960 --> 01:09:20,320
Speaker 3: has changed over time. BC. I'm not suggesting that's the

1466
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 3: way it is now, But the point is, what did

1467
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:25,680
Speaker 3: it do for UFC. It put UFC it further what

1468
01:09:25,800 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 3: Fox had started, which made MMA part of the firmament

1469
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:35,719
Speaker 3: of major North American sports. It was alongside everything else.

1470
01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 3: It was it was ESPN putting their imprimatur on it

1471
01:09:39,760 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 3: and saying this belongs alongside all of these other things

1472
01:09:44,240 --> 01:09:46,439
Speaker 3: in ways that it simply had not done that to

1473
01:09:46,479 --> 01:09:49,479
Speaker 3: that extent anyway before. And I think that's actually quite important,

1474
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 3: and it was very successful relative to those aims. On

1475
01:09:53,000 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 3: the other hand, and I think this is a big

1476
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:57,880
Speaker 3: task for y'all over at Paramount and we'll see how

1477
01:09:57,880 --> 01:10:00,600
Speaker 3: it goes. Which is it is it's very hard for

1478
01:10:00,640 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 3: me to look at the ending of the pair, excuse me,

1479
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 3: the ending of the ESPN deal versus the beginning, and

1480
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:10,000
Speaker 3: say MMA is more popular now than when it started.

1481
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 3: It is not. It is not. The UFC is not

1482
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:16,760
Speaker 3: the UFC is more established, no question. I don't know

1483
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 3: that it's more popular.

1484
01:10:17,800 --> 01:10:19,960
Speaker 1: And it's certainly not as popular as it was coming

1485
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: out of the pandemic, which was a big win for

1486
01:10:22,120 --> 01:10:24,400
Speaker 1: this marriage, for this era. Yes, and you got to

1487
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:27,640
Speaker 1: give Data a lot of that credit. But the paywall,

1488
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: the paywall didn't hurt, which is I guess one of

1489
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:32,040
Speaker 1: the potential promising things of the Paramount CBS thing that

1490
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: you're removing that pay per view paywall on Paramount plus

1491
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: simulcasting someone on CBS. But the whole question that everyone's

1492
01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 1: throwing around on Twitter is did it really elevate the sport?

1493
01:10:43,400 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: I mean, let's see this tweet from Ann Evans, friend

1494
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: of the program. Let's see if you agree with it.

1495
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: We're in and said, less people are into UFC than

1496
01:10:49,160 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: before the ESPN era. TV views, pay per views are down,

1497
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,719
Speaker 1: UFC are extracting more money from fewer people. The hardcore

1498
01:10:55,720 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 1: of folks who watch almost all of it has grown,

1499
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: but the reach is shorter. Anyone you different today is

1500
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,759
Speaker 1: simply wrong, Luke. How much if that's if that's true,

1501
01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 1: how much of that is because look, with the UFC

1502
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,400
Speaker 1: always does say this, They'll do what their part with

1503
01:11:10,479 --> 01:11:12,599
Speaker 1: their broadcast partner wants in terms of do you want

1504
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: a card every week? Do you want us to do this,

1505
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,400
Speaker 1: or do you want to do that? ESPN wanted a

1506
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,720
Speaker 1: car at almost every weekend, like forty four cards a

1507
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 1: year out of fifty two weeks, you know, year after

1508
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: year in recent terms at least. Is that responsible for

1509
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,840
Speaker 1: what Aunt's talking about more than anything else or is

1510
01:11:27,880 --> 01:11:30,519
Speaker 1: it just a change in business structure. Let's not forget

1511
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,720
Speaker 1: that when they signed with ESPN, they were getting those

1512
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 1: flat rates for each pay per view, so it took

1513
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: away the need to spend the money on promotion.

1514
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 3: I definitely feel like the way that the product was

1515
01:11:40,479 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 3: structured affected fan enthusiasm because you were just getting we

1516
01:11:45,920 --> 01:11:48,640
Speaker 3: you know, the reality is this past weekend's card was

1517
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:50,320
Speaker 3: actually pretty good and we and we had said it

1518
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:52,439
Speaker 3: on Friday. You know, it's an APEX car, but it's

1519
01:11:52,439 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 3: definitely not a bad one at all. And I think

1520
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 3: that that largely played out. But you know, we have

1521
01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,160
Speaker 3: seen cards, you know, headlined by Steve Garcia versus David Nama.

1522
01:11:59,200 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 3: Steve's doing great things, but as a general proposition like

1523
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:05,600
Speaker 3: that is a tier of UFC product that was unfathomable

1524
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,960
Speaker 3: I don't know five certainly ten years before it, and

1525
01:12:09,000 --> 01:12:11,880
Speaker 3: the and the way in which the incentive structure of

1526
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:15,720
Speaker 3: how the product was organized enabling that, along with the

1527
01:12:15,720 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 3: apex itself and the pandemic playing a role in the

1528
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 3: growth of the apexes.

1529
01:12:20,040 --> 01:12:22,479
Speaker 1: TKO is also in a much different place to get

1530
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,559
Speaker 1: twenty five than it was at twenty nineteen.

1531
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 3: But I think I think ant's largely correct. I don't

1532
01:12:27,520 --> 01:12:29,320
Speaker 3: know how you can. I don't I don't know what

1533
01:12:29,360 --> 01:12:32,479
Speaker 3: an honest reading of the evidence looks like that comes

1534
01:12:32,479 --> 01:12:35,559
Speaker 3: to any other conclusion other than that one. So does

1535
01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 3: that mean it's inexorable? I mean, we'll find out. But

1536
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 3: I think if i'm if, I'm not a paramount exect

1537
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:43,600
Speaker 3: and neither of you, But if we were, one of

1538
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:45,200
Speaker 3: the things I'd be looking at is trying to have

1539
01:12:45,200 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 3: an honest assessment why did it decline over this time

1540
01:12:48,720 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 3: and to what extent can we repair this one thing

1541
01:12:51,560 --> 01:12:53,240
Speaker 3: that they can't do be se because they've already kind

1542
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 3: of said it. Thirty fight nights, thirteen pls, whatever you

1543
01:12:57,320 --> 01:12:59,360
Speaker 3: want to call them. You know that's going to be

1544
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 3: a fixed structure. The removal of the paywall, though, I

1545
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 3: think is huge. I agree changing the start time back

1546
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 3: to nine pm. These small adjustments accumulatively can have a

1547
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 3: big deal. But we all know the real problem. You

1548
01:13:10,479 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 3: gotta get stars that the American public can get behind.

1549
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:14,840
Speaker 3: That's gonna be fie.

1550
01:13:14,840 --> 01:13:16,720
Speaker 1: I was just going to ask you what lessons do

1551
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 1: we think Paramount CBA or UFC in the Paramount CBS

1552
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: era could learn from maybe the things that didn't go

1553
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,719
Speaker 1: right in the ESPN era. And I do think trying

1554
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: to return to the idea of building not just stars,

1555
01:13:28,400 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 1: but rivalries building Those are the kind of things because

1556
01:13:31,200 --> 01:13:33,439
Speaker 1: I think the one thing. Look, when UFC gives their

1557
01:13:33,479 --> 01:13:36,479
Speaker 1: messages and Danta talks, we can typically pick it apart,

1558
01:13:36,479 --> 01:13:38,000
Speaker 1: but the one thing that they say, which I think

1559
01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 1: is true. It's similar to what I say, Luke about

1560
01:13:40,280 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 1: the Saudi takeover in boxing, where I say, I feel

1561
01:13:42,800 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: like it would be more impactful if it wasn't if

1562
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,640
Speaker 1: all the big fights weren't ont zone, which is this

1563
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,960
Speaker 1: knee ap that in the America only boxing fans own.

1564
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 1: But I think you can make the same argument and

1565
01:13:52,840 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 1: the difference between ESPN and how we perceive Paramount to

1566
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:57,200
Speaker 1: be because, as Dana likes to say, and he's right,

1567
01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,719
Speaker 1: the only people that were subscribing to ESPN were sports

1568
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,160
Speaker 1: fans and mostly MMA fans. Yes, they use Sports Center

1569
01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: to cross over more to sports fans, and it worked

1570
01:14:06,439 --> 01:14:08,400
Speaker 1: especially during the pandemic when they were the only game

1571
01:14:08,400 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 1: in town but Paramount. And now it's going to be

1572
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: on Paramount Plus, which means you're gonna have so many

1573
01:14:13,479 --> 01:14:16,439
Speaker 1: more non sports fans stumbling into it when they're looking

1574
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:18,519
Speaker 1: for whatever show they're looking to watch or whatever movie.

1575
01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: So Andrew removing the paywall, I think there is a

1576
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:24,800
Speaker 1: great opportunity to kick start the at least on a

1577
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:28,639
Speaker 1: US level, the national understanding of who who the fighters are,

1578
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:30,679
Speaker 1: what are the big fights that we're building too. Whether

1579
01:14:30,720 --> 01:14:32,120
Speaker 1: you love it or hate it, the White House card

1580
01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:34,200
Speaker 1: is going to bring out the casuals to take a look.

1581
01:14:34,439 --> 01:14:37,719
Speaker 1: There's no question. I really hope they ride that momentum

1582
01:14:37,720 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 1: heading into June and really let the fans know these

1583
01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:42,680
Speaker 1: are the guys you need to focus on. This is

1584
01:14:42,680 --> 01:14:44,920
Speaker 1: where our business is going. Let's get you in here

1585
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:45,639
Speaker 1: for these big fights.

1586
01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:46,800
Speaker 3: One thing I'm going to say, and I know you

1587
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:48,320
Speaker 3: don't have an answer to this either because I know

1588
01:14:48,360 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 3: we've something that you know it's come up, which is

1589
01:14:51,320 --> 01:14:55,839
Speaker 3: if you just notice what programming the UFC has on ESPN.

1590
01:14:56,600 --> 01:14:59,559
Speaker 3: They kind of produce and control all of it, you know,

1591
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:01,200
Speaker 3: and like down to the countdowns that come out on

1592
01:15:01,240 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 3: their YouTube channels and stuff like that. And I think

1593
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,240
Speaker 3: one thing I would like to see, for example, like

1594
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:09,360
Speaker 3: when Roku was or that production company behind the what

1595
01:15:09,400 --> 01:15:13,120
Speaker 3: was that Roku show called the I think yeah, like

1596
01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:16,599
Speaker 3: someone else producing it had like a different look and

1597
01:15:16,640 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 3: feel and everyone was like, oh, this is this is cool.

1598
01:15:20,439 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 3: I think Paramount and I don't know what's going to

1599
01:15:22,320 --> 01:15:24,320
Speaker 3: happen again, you don't know, none of us know, but

1600
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 3: I would be nice to see if if folks in

1601
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,599
Speaker 3: Paramount are able to do storytelling independent of in house

1602
01:15:31,720 --> 01:15:33,000
Speaker 3: UFC programming and.

1603
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 1: Using some of the other vehicles under the Paramount sky Dance, CBS,

1604
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, Vault they're using putting fighters in other spots,

1605
01:15:40,160 --> 01:15:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, using the like they had Dayna make that

1606
01:15:42,360 --> 01:15:45,360
Speaker 1: announcement of Halftimes stiff Fietball game. That kind of stuff

1607
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:47,919
Speaker 1: does go a long way. Remember when Fox had PBC

1608
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: and for a bit they were using you know, they

1609
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: were putting on those PBC pay per view preview shows,

1610
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:55,120
Speaker 1: like right after a big NFL game would end. You,

1611
01:15:55,160 --> 01:15:56,799
Speaker 1: I mean that kind of stuff, That kind of synergy

1612
01:15:56,840 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 1: I think will help a lot, even if terrestrial tea

1613
01:16:00,320 --> 01:16:02,920
Speaker 1: isn't where it was back then. Even let's go to

1614
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,599
Speaker 1: topic number five here, PFL had their final at least

1615
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,679
Speaker 1: I guess you could say ma main roster fight card

1616
01:16:08,680 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 1: of the year in Leon, France, calling it PFL Champion

1617
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Series four on Saturday, giving out two inaugural PFL Championships,

1618
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,559
Speaker 1: and in the main event, former Belator light heavyweight champion

1619
01:16:21,640 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 1: Vadem Nemcov extended his current on beaten streak to fifteen fights,

1620
01:16:25,640 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 1: which does include that no contest against Cory Anderson where

1621
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:30,599
Speaker 1: it looked like he was on the way to losing.

1622
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: He did in the immediate rematch, avenge that with an

1623
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 1: easy looking, very easy first round submission of the big

1624
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:42,719
Speaker 1: Brazilian Henin Fajeda, and after the fight he didn't hesitate

1625
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:44,320
Speaker 1: on who he wants. Let's listen in.

1626
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 10: I know it's not really your personality to call for

1627
01:16:48,920 --> 01:16:53,520
Speaker 10: ambitious things or to talk trashs, but you just announced

1628
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 10: your presence in this heavyweight division.

1629
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:56,559
Speaker 1: Who do you want to fight next?

1630
01:16:58,320 --> 01:16:59,880
Speaker 2: London Street? That l.

1631
01:17:10,080 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, strange is.

1632
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:21,280
Speaker 8: Some He said, I'll fight anybody that the company wants

1633
01:17:21,320 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 8: me to, but I really want to fight Francis.

1634
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:25,679
Speaker 10: I really want to fight Francis And of course he's

1635
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:29,240
Speaker 10: referencing Francis and Ganu so Luke.

1636
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:32,519
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, pfl's new boss John Martin was quoted

1637
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:35,759
Speaker 1: as saying he has a very special opponent in mind

1638
01:17:36,040 --> 01:17:38,760
Speaker 1: for what they're going calling Ganu's final fight under his

1639
01:17:38,800 --> 01:17:42,000
Speaker 1: current contract that they're currently planning. We've speculated could that

1640
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,760
Speaker 1: be Rico Verhoven? Could it be is it was some

1641
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,160
Speaker 1: like big type of pay per view type deal. But

1642
01:17:47,320 --> 01:17:51,320
Speaker 1: nem Kough, the PFL inaugural heavyweight champion, just called out

1643
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 1: and Ganu one of the best heavyweight champions in the world.

1644
01:17:53,680 --> 01:17:56,599
Speaker 1: Who's another roster? Is this a good fight for PFL

1645
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:58,439
Speaker 1: and is this a good fight for Nganu next?

1646
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 3: It's not. First of all, I think that Nemkov could

1647
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 3: win a heavyweight or a light heavyweight title in UFC.

1648
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:12,879
Speaker 3: I'm not saying I would pick him to beat everyone

1649
01:18:12,960 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 3: in every case, but if it was him versus Poton, like,

1650
01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 3: that's a tough fight. For Poton and even even though

1651
01:18:20,760 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 3: he's out undersized.

1652
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,920
Speaker 1: I mean, his ground game is absolutely it's it's super legit.

1653
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:26,360
Speaker 3: And you know he comes from a great campter with

1654
01:18:26,400 --> 01:18:29,080
Speaker 3: fad Or and everything like the other that's a tough

1655
01:18:29,120 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 3: fucking fight. So here's the thing though, we see this

1656
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:34,719
Speaker 3: is I mean, we keep having this fucking conversation around

1657
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,799
Speaker 3: PFL and it's just driving me nuts. It's like, dude,

1658
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,599
Speaker 3: I've been saying this forever and people kind of just

1659
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:45,719
Speaker 3: gloss over it when I say it. Unless the UFC

1660
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 3: starts co promoting, it doesn't matter what PFL does on

1661
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 3: their own. Okay, you cannot build success on your own.

1662
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:56,800
Speaker 3: There has to be roster cross pollination. I know that

1663
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,720
Speaker 3: sounds like I'm I'm like a broken fucking record at

1664
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:03,280
Speaker 3: this point, but it's true. What way does the PFL

1665
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 3: roster have to build legitimacy other than to get cross pollination.

1666
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,000
Speaker 1: You're gonna say, well, well, I was gonna say, if

1667
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:11,760
Speaker 1: you can't do that when you're both under the same

1668
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:13,680
Speaker 1: ESPN banner, then you're never gonna do that.

1669
01:19:13,720 --> 01:19:15,960
Speaker 3: You're never gonna do it. And they don't do it

1670
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:18,880
Speaker 3: for a reason, and that reason is because they know

1671
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,639
Speaker 3: that it would again, so they would win some fights,

1672
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:25,160
Speaker 3: they would lose some fights, but it would confer legitimacy

1673
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,360
Speaker 3: onto the PFL roster in a way that they want

1674
01:19:27,400 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 3: nothing to do with. And as long as that is

1675
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 3: the case, people are like, oh, is this a good

1676
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,040
Speaker 3: fight for PFL? Sure, dude, Francis versus vadem Namkov is

1677
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:40,160
Speaker 3: a legit heavyweight fight? Is that quality? Sure? Does that

1678
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:44,080
Speaker 3: matter for their survival? It does not, It will not.

1679
01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,639
Speaker 3: It doesn't make any difference. Unless they can just change

1680
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 3: the material conditions upon which they can make fights with

1681
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,440
Speaker 3: rival promotions, the end is inevitable.

1682
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. And there's also that idea of why would you

1683
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 1: book a heavyweight title fight for Engano when it's the

1684
01:19:58,600 --> 01:20:00,760
Speaker 1: last fight of his deal and you're not sure that

1685
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:02,720
Speaker 1: he's coming back, or I mean, are they sure if

1686
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,759
Speaker 1: they even want him like long term Francis?

1687
01:20:05,880 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think they want him long term at all.

1688
01:20:08,800 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: What do you think would win that? Themclough and Ghana?

1689
01:20:13,439 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 1: I'm still backing in Ghana. Not easy?

1690
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,360
Speaker 3: What do you think? What do you think of Long Island?

1691
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 1: He's not easy to take down hand.

1692
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 6: He's not I said, yeah when out loud, when BC

1693
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 6: said in Ghana, I think I'd go in Ghanu in

1694
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 6: that what would it?

1695
01:20:26,360 --> 01:20:28,880
Speaker 3: Okay? Fair enough? So what would it mean if if

1696
01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:32,479
Speaker 3: Vadem fights Francis and beats him and I'm not gonna

1697
01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 3: say like some judging bullshit like straight up beats him.

1698
01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:38,560
Speaker 3: Where would that put Vadim in terms of the rankings

1699
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:41,599
Speaker 3: independent of promotion for heavyweight?

1700
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:43,760
Speaker 5: Top three?

1701
01:20:43,840 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 6: But I also feel like you could be top three

1702
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,439
Speaker 6: at heavyweight by beating anyone in this day and age,

1703
01:20:48,520 --> 01:20:50,760
Speaker 6: like eavyweight do isn't really that deep? But in all

1704
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 6: seriousness like no, yeah, I'm blanking on. Who's even up

1705
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:54,160
Speaker 6: there right now?

1706
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:56,440
Speaker 5: John aspinall gone for display?

1707
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,559
Speaker 3: And maybe poton if he goes up there?

1708
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, the big Russian Volokov?

1709
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:08,000
Speaker 3: Yeah your guy? Okay, like Volkov versus Nemkov? Who you picking?

1710
01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm picking them call I think I am.

1711
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 3: Like that's how good he is?

1712
01:21:13,560 --> 01:21:14,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's very good.

1713
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:16,919
Speaker 1: I think it needs he needs to have more focus

1714
01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:20,040
Speaker 1: on that. Unfortunately it's coming through two paywalls from Leon,

1715
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 1: France at eleven am on a Saturday morning. But that's

1716
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:27,439
Speaker 1: just where it's you. They were. Flair does a great

1717
01:21:27,520 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 1: job like Belator did before them of going to these

1718
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:32,880
Speaker 1: UK markets or these European markets, excuse me, and having

1719
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: like a knockout feel with the crowd and the presentation.

1720
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:39,400
Speaker 1: But Luke, when we're talking about the John Martin teas

1721
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,920
Speaker 1: of a big fight for Francis, of course we're all like, well,

1722
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:44,960
Speaker 1: riekover Hooven, is there some you know, retired name that

1723
01:21:44,960 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: we're not thinking of? If pa, I don't know, if

1724
01:21:48,080 --> 01:21:50,280
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just asking you, Okay, Devil's Devil's after

1725
01:21:50,320 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: a question? What would be your response if John Martin's like,

1726
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,920
Speaker 1: We've got a great idea for Francis and Gano and

1727
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:58,120
Speaker 1: his name is Fey Door Emilianenko.

1728
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:04,160
Speaker 3: Fire him immediately. Yeah, Fador has been retired. Fador has

1729
01:22:04,200 --> 01:22:09,760
Speaker 3: been washed for a long time. Vador was washed pre pandemic.

1730
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 1: No, it's not going to be that right.

1731
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 3: If it is, it's it's fucking malpractice.

1732
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:16,160
Speaker 1: Even though that's kind of what Scott Coger did with

1733
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:17,559
Speaker 1: Belator to make them relevant on.

1734
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,240
Speaker 3: The Parakat Scott got him. I mean, Scott had Ryan

1735
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 3: Bader versus Fador and like the like.

1736
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 1: The when I was talking more about the Kimbo versus

1737
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: Shamrock era that.

1738
01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:28,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, fine, I mean, you can play that game for

1739
01:22:29,000 --> 01:22:32,040
Speaker 3: a little while. But dude, Fador is Fado is a

1740
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 3: fucking legend and the modern MMA fans who missed his

1741
01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,760
Speaker 3: rise don't appreciate him. We love Fador on this show,

1742
01:22:37,760 --> 01:22:40,880
Speaker 3: we respect the hell out of him, but he's fucking washed.

1743
01:22:41,240 --> 01:22:44,000
Speaker 1: And do not ask him about Russian literature?

1744
01:22:45,200 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 3: Are you still better about it?

1745
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:46,639
Speaker 2: I am?

1746
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:46,880
Speaker 3: But no.

1747
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:49,080
Speaker 1: I ended up getting that dream interview finally on h QUE.

1748
01:22:49,120 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: You remember that I interviewed him. Was terrible, right, No,

1749
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:53,959
Speaker 1: he was laughing and smiling the whole.

1750
01:22:53,960 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 3: He was good. He was good. He was good. Did

1751
01:22:55,479 --> 01:22:56,880
Speaker 3: you ask him about books? No?

1752
01:22:56,880 --> 01:22:57,639
Speaker 1: No, I don't.

1753
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:58,880
Speaker 4: Read obviously not.

1754
01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:00,760
Speaker 1: Hey, look, let's go to that comin event where the

1755
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,040
Speaker 1: inaugural PFL Women's featherweight title was at stake and forty

1756
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:06,760
Speaker 1: year old legend Chris Cyborg improved to twenty nine and

1757
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 1: two in her great career with a third round face

1758
01:23:10,040 --> 01:23:14,559
Speaker 1: crank submission of the unbeaten Australian Sarah Collins and get

1759
01:23:14,600 --> 01:23:18,880
Speaker 1: this Luke Thomas. After the fight, she called first for

1760
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:21,080
Speaker 1: a fight against Leah McCourt if possible, she said, If

1761
01:23:21,080 --> 01:23:25,280
Speaker 1: that's not available, she called out Dakota Ditcheva and said,

1762
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:28,080
Speaker 1: I can cut down to one thirty five. Let's meet

1763
01:23:28,120 --> 01:23:30,479
Speaker 1: in the middle. We talked about this as the potential

1764
01:23:30,520 --> 01:23:33,120
Speaker 1: final fight. Is it too much for Ditscheva to move

1765
01:23:33,200 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 1: up to forty five and do this potential passing of

1766
01:23:35,720 --> 01:23:37,880
Speaker 1: the torch between one of the greatest of all time

1767
01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,480
Speaker 1: and someone who is, you know, a red hot rising superstar.

1768
01:23:41,920 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: But Luke, do you remember Chris Cyborg said, like ten

1769
01:23:45,360 --> 01:23:47,240
Speaker 1: years ago, there was no chance she came here, twelve

1770
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 1: thirteen years ago, there's no chance she can cut down

1771
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:51,320
Speaker 1: to thirty five to fight Ronda, And then they did

1772
01:23:51,360 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 1: that one forty experiment with the UFC and eventually said,

1773
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:56,160
Speaker 1: let's just create a one forty five title and let

1774
01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,400
Speaker 1: her fight for it. I love everything about this idea,

1775
01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 1: except for the Cyborg at forty years old cutting down

1776
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,040
Speaker 1: to one thirty five when she proved in her physical

1777
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:06,160
Speaker 1: prime that was impossible.

1778
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,599
Speaker 3: I saw the video of her trying to make weight

1779
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 3: and crying as a consequence of it. The idea that

1780
01:24:12,520 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 3: she can make thirty five now, I mean, okay, On

1781
01:24:15,000 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 3: the one hand, BC, maybe she got better at it

1782
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 3: after all these years, and I think that's something we

1783
01:24:22,840 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 3: have to take seriously. But I'm gonna say this, I

1784
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,639
Speaker 3: have questions about this because to your point, I mean,

1785
01:24:28,720 --> 01:24:31,360
Speaker 3: she got sideways with the UFC and didn't have a

1786
01:24:31,400 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 3: Rhonda fight for this. Again, she fought Amanda, so it

1787
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 3: wasn't like she was duck and necessarily but you know,

1788
01:24:36,840 --> 01:24:38,280
Speaker 3: she didn't want to make it down to that weight

1789
01:24:38,280 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 3: at a bare minimum, and then kind of indicated it

1790
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 3: was biologically irresponse or medically.

1791
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 1: Even though we gave Rondo more heck during that run

1792
01:24:44,280 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 1: because we're like, if you're really that great, then move

1793
01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:47,160
Speaker 1: up ten pounds to.

1794
01:24:47,160 --> 01:24:50,080
Speaker 3: Your old digsion. Yeah, face again, is Cyborg best suited

1795
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 3: for thirty five if this is a one off BC?

1796
01:24:52,320 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 1: No, she tried the forty cous I specifically remember her

1797
01:24:54,600 --> 01:24:55,960
Speaker 1: saying like, if I do any more, it's going to

1798
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: kill me.

1799
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 3: It's a night Moore. Then the notion that they can

1800
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,200
Speaker 3: go to thirty five now is one where it's like, well,

1801
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 3: wait a second, haven't you been saying for a fucking

1802
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 3: decade you can't do this? So my attitude is am

1803
01:25:05,439 --> 01:25:07,600
Speaker 3: I opposed to it? And principle there's other reasons to

1804
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:09,280
Speaker 3: be opposed to it, where you're just kind of cannibalizing

1805
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:09,920
Speaker 3: your own roster.

1806
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:12,880
Speaker 4: I think it's the perfect I think it's very good promotion.

1807
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:15,240
Speaker 3: By doing a thirty five component is like, it's like, dude,

1808
01:25:15,280 --> 01:25:18,559
Speaker 3: you said all that shit, what change? Maybe listen, maybe

1809
01:25:18,600 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 3: something changed, but you need to tell us what changed

1810
01:25:20,960 --> 01:25:22,799
Speaker 3: because that was a huge media cycle.

1811
01:25:23,680 --> 01:25:27,439
Speaker 1: Interesting question here. I always give Cyborg her flowers. She's

1812
01:25:27,479 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 1: a pioneer, she's still at it, she's still holding you know,

1813
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:34,600
Speaker 1: major titles across MMA. But should any But there's not

1814
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:37,120
Speaker 1: everyone in MMA who looks at her as a potential

1815
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,559
Speaker 1: goat candidate or gives her that same respect. So should

1816
01:25:40,600 --> 01:25:43,400
Speaker 1: any part of Cyborg's legacy in your eyes be downgraded

1817
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,400
Speaker 1: by the fact that only seven of her thirty one

1818
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:48,880
Speaker 1: career fights ultimately took place inside the.

1819
01:25:48,880 --> 01:25:52,640
Speaker 3: Actor No, No, I mean I think over like a

1820
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 3: twenty year run. Yeah, I think if you want to

1821
01:25:54,439 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 3: dock her and say that there are limits to how

1822
01:25:56,760 --> 01:26:00,000
Speaker 3: much we can say by virtue of her kind of

1823
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:02,680
Speaker 3: organization hopping, which is a fine practice, But you know,

1824
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 3: to what extent does it limit that she fought the

1825
01:26:05,600 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 3: very best at certain times in her career. Sure, she's

1826
01:26:08,600 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 3: been the gold standard of excellence for many dude, she

1827
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 3: was the gold standard of excellence when they had three

1828
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:16,600
Speaker 3: minute rounds for women on national television.

1829
01:26:17,640 --> 01:26:19,840
Speaker 1: And like, it's interesting that coach John Wood is being

1830
01:26:19,880 --> 01:26:22,280
Speaker 1: interviewed in nascialist Gina Caronald coming back, and he's kind

1831
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:25,200
Speaker 1: of giving a non answer that teases yes, yeah, And

1832
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: it's like she's coming back from twenty years ago when

1833
01:26:28,880 --> 01:26:31,080
Speaker 1: she fought Cyborgan, one of the most important fights in

1834
01:26:31,120 --> 01:26:34,200
Speaker 1: women's history, and cyborgans not only still fighting, she's still

1835
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: a major champion.

1836
01:26:35,080 --> 01:26:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and not just that, like Cyborg's game has changed.

1837
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: She was a kind of like a like a marauder,

1838
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:42,880
Speaker 3: you know, a brawler type early in her run, and

1839
01:26:42,960 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 3: she just got good at everything managing rounds to the

1840
01:26:46,320 --> 01:26:48,559
Speaker 3: other parts of the game and the wrestling and the

1841
01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 3: top control or jiu jitsu as well. She just became

1842
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 3: a terrifying and then ultimately you see a pretty technical

1843
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 3: force and I think you have to respect that, dude.

1844
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,400
Speaker 3: The fact that she has belts in all these organisms

1845
01:27:00,400 --> 01:27:03,799
Speaker 3: over all these many years, over these many eras of MMA,

1846
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 3: to me, is a demonstration of her excellence. Are there blemishes?

1847
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 3: Are there things missing? Is it all perfect? No? Of

1848
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:11,479
Speaker 3: course not, there are ways of what You can poke

1849
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,400
Speaker 3: a hole at her resume and many of them, but.

1850
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 1: She fought Patico last year and exactly.

1851
01:27:15,840 --> 01:27:17,679
Speaker 3: But on the other hand, BC, I mean, we're talking

1852
01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:21,320
Speaker 3: about someone who has been excellent over an enormous duration

1853
01:27:21,439 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 3: of time. You must give respect to that.

1854
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:26,439
Speaker 1: It's unlikely based on the severed relationship. But like, would

1855
01:27:26,479 --> 01:27:28,639
Speaker 1: you get excited if I told you a year from

1856
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 1: now a forty one year old Cyborg will be back

1857
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,479
Speaker 1: in the UFC and she would be getting an Amanda rematch.

1858
01:27:34,479 --> 01:27:36,200
Speaker 1: She would be getting the Kala fight that should have

1859
01:27:36,240 --> 01:27:39,719
Speaker 1: happened but never did, to like close out this great

1860
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:41,720
Speaker 1: career that I would be down for that, wouldn't you.

1861
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:45,240
Speaker 3: At the right wait sure.

1862
01:27:45,840 --> 01:27:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, if they opened up if they brought back the

1863
01:27:48,040 --> 01:27:50,200
Speaker 1: women's by the way title or open up Women's right

1864
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 1: wait sure yeah? All right, interesting stuff there. Those are

1865
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,559
Speaker 1: our five topics for this week. But before we pick

1866
01:27:56,600 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 1: out the kernels in my I hate when you say that, BC,

1867
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 1: I do hate when you say that.

1868
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 4: We have an opportunity for.

1869
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,519
Speaker 1: The fans to speak to us directly through the prism

1870
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:08,439
Speaker 1: of social media on Sunday nights at X on X

1871
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:10,880
Speaker 1: on Instagram at morning combat as the handle. We put

1872
01:28:10,920 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: out a call to action for your DMS and you

1873
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 1: respond with a question. This is called DMS from the

1874
01:28:16,560 --> 01:28:25,200
Speaker 1: digities long as the Donkey comes to full climax. Our

1875
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 1: first question comes to us from at V Sanchez Underscore

1876
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:32,679
Speaker 1: eighty eight. I don't know if he's clean, luke or dirty,

1877
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: but how would you grade the overall quality of fights

1878
01:28:35,240 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five. I'm assuming he's talking about MMA

1879
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 1: slash UFC. Is it better or worse than two thousand

1880
01:28:42,520 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 1: and two?

1881
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 3: One question for Long Island. Long Island, you're the one

1882
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 3: who does all the I mean because we talk about

1883
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 3: the pay per views.

1884
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:50,560
Speaker 1: But when we say quality, is he talking about the

1885
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 1: matchmaking or the skill quality?

1886
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:54,800
Speaker 3: I think maybe a little bit of both. What you

1887
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:56,400
Speaker 3: what do you think Long Island? Did it all work

1888
01:28:56,400 --> 01:28:58,120
Speaker 3: in twenty five or belt relative to twenty four?

1889
01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 6: I can't, like I don't have a side by side

1890
01:29:00,800 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 6: right now, but I feel like, top of my head

1891
01:29:02,560 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 6: they were roughly the same. I'm naturally going to go

1892
01:29:05,000 --> 01:29:07,160
Speaker 6: with the more previous year because I feel like we've

1893
01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 6: just been getting worse and worse as years go on.

1894
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:11,160
Speaker 3: So I'll say in twenty four, had UFC three hundred,

1895
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 3: which was Yeah, I'd.

1896
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:13,840
Speaker 5: Say twenty four was better, but i'd have to see

1897
01:29:13,880 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 5: him side by, So.

1898
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,679
Speaker 1: This wasn't a horrible year. I feel like we complained

1899
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 1: a lot more in or I did a lot more

1900
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 1: in twenty three and twenty four than I did, But.

1901
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,840
Speaker 3: I think he's mostly right, Like it's actually they're actually

1902
01:29:23,840 --> 01:29:26,719
Speaker 3: not too different. So for example, I did a ranking

1903
01:29:26,760 --> 01:29:29,439
Speaker 3: the pay per views with Boner with Mark Bond. Well,

1904
01:29:29,479 --> 01:29:31,720
Speaker 3: I didn't realize this until we had dimmed the whole exercise.

1905
01:29:32,280 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 3: Both for twenty four and for twenty five. Our lowest

1906
01:29:35,680 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 3: rated fight or pay per view anyway of each year

1907
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:41,400
Speaker 3: was the year of the event where they had DDP

1908
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:44,439
Speaker 3: versus Strickland in twenty four and twenty five. So like

1909
01:29:44,479 --> 01:29:46,240
Speaker 3: as much as things change, they stay the same.

1910
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's all kind of the same right there. But

1911
01:29:48,240 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: thank you Sanchez for that question. Let's go to the

1912
01:29:50,439 --> 01:29:55,000
Speaker 1: next one from at Flannels and JITs A jijuts Roller himself.

1913
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 1: What are five things for MMA and boxing you would

1914
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,960
Speaker 1: like to see in twenty twenty five. I'm sure, I'm sorry,

1915
01:30:00,040 --> 01:30:03,160
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six, I'm sure for our year ending episodes,

1916
01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 1: we're going to cover a lot of this, so five

1917
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:06,640
Speaker 1: would be a lot, But could I get one for

1918
01:30:06,720 --> 01:30:10,360
Speaker 1: each sport? You say one time, what's one thing that

1919
01:30:10,400 --> 01:30:12,879
Speaker 1: you would hope you would like to see in twenty six.

1920
01:30:12,680 --> 01:30:16,080
Speaker 3: Any someone asked me this question previously? And I for MMA, dude,

1921
01:30:16,080 --> 01:30:19,000
Speaker 3: I'll be honest. They're getting rid of pay per view

1922
01:30:19,040 --> 01:30:21,000
Speaker 3: and they're putting start times back at nine pm.

1923
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:21,880
Speaker 1: Those are two huge things.

1924
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:24,360
Speaker 3: I just don't think I can complain too much. Yes, yes,

1925
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:28,000
Speaker 3: I mean individual things you can complain about. I'll say this.

1926
01:30:28,160 --> 01:30:30,040
Speaker 3: I'll say this for MMA, here's what I want to see.

1927
01:30:31,280 --> 01:30:32,680
Speaker 3: I don't want to see people just give up their

1928
01:30:32,720 --> 01:30:35,559
Speaker 3: titles and walk away. I want to see someone take it,

1929
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:37,519
Speaker 3: or at least try to take.

1930
01:30:37,360 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 1: It from it becomes boxing.

1931
01:30:38,439 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 3: That's what I want to see for boxing.

1932
01:30:40,640 --> 01:30:43,040
Speaker 1: In MMA, I want to see more points taken away

1933
01:30:43,080 --> 01:30:45,120
Speaker 1: right away. I want to see you get rid of

1934
01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:48,799
Speaker 1: the iepoll culture by standing firm ten toes down referees,

1935
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:51,519
Speaker 1: whether you smell like cheap booze and cold cuts or not.

1936
01:30:52,320 --> 01:30:54,799
Speaker 3: And I'll say on the boxing side, state side events,

1937
01:30:55,040 --> 01:30:56,439
Speaker 3: big state side states side events.

1938
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:59,800
Speaker 1: Tayo versus Shakor Madison Square Garden, January thirty first fired up.

1939
01:30:59,720 --> 01:31:01,599
Speaker 3: Right by the way. You know, Cadello is saying he's

1940
01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:03,320
Speaker 3: not going to fight single Demayo this year, which is

1941
01:31:03,320 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 3: a big wants Crawford in the fall Wells Crawford the fault,

1942
01:31:05,520 --> 01:31:08,599
Speaker 3: which I hate, but you know, I mean, we need

1943
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:12,599
Speaker 3: to see big state side events and that's been missing

1944
01:31:12,760 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 3: for sure.

1945
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't even know what to say about ZUFA

1946
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 1: Boxing because we don't really know what we're getting. We

1947
01:31:17,720 --> 01:31:19,360
Speaker 1: don't know who's going to be fighting January.

1948
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:22,559
Speaker 3: That's twenty third card. They apparently it's not one hundred confirmed,

1949
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:24,320
Speaker 3: but the initial reports that's going to be in the

1950
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:28,520
Speaker 3: fucking Apex. Who is asking for boxing in the Apex?

1951
01:31:28,600 --> 01:31:31,280
Speaker 3: I don't know that there's been boxing fans clamoring for that.

1952
01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:33,640
Speaker 3: I don't know, no, but uh, I don't know.

1953
01:31:33,640 --> 01:31:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't even know who's going to be fighting.

1954
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 3: I haven't even name.

1955
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:39,000
Speaker 1: I hope we get what Dana is teasing. A lot

1956
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:41,880
Speaker 1: that Tuesday Night fights uf c our USA type of field,

1957
01:31:41,880 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 1: that Friday Night fights ESPN type of field. Give us

1958
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:46,760
Speaker 1: it's going to be a prospect type of builder factory.

1959
01:31:47,479 --> 01:31:50,600
Speaker 1: Give us bangers, give us fun stuff. I want to

1960
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:52,599
Speaker 1: see a lot of changes in boxing next year, Luke,

1961
01:31:53,240 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: But there's still a lot of things like up in

1962
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,280
Speaker 1: the air the Ali Act. While that get approved the amended,

1963
01:31:58,320 --> 01:31:59,920
Speaker 1: will Turkey.

1964
01:31:59,680 --> 01:32:00,759
Speaker 4: Have come fleet takeover?

1965
01:32:00,960 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 3: You know?

1966
01:32:01,200 --> 01:32:03,920
Speaker 1: Are these other promoters going to die give in? What's

1967
01:32:03,920 --> 01:32:05,839
Speaker 1: gonna like? I feel like we've been having this discussion

1968
01:32:05,840 --> 01:32:07,479
Speaker 1: for two years and we're still at it. It's the

1969
01:32:07,520 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: same broken record as the sport continues to somehow make

1970
01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,519
Speaker 1: it along. Let's go to our next question here from

1971
01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:17,000
Speaker 1: at Stick's Place time. Do you think he's a drummer?

1972
01:32:17,080 --> 01:32:18,679
Speaker 1: Is that what that means? Sticks place time?

1973
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:20,799
Speaker 3: Yeah? Probably?

1974
01:32:20,960 --> 01:32:23,280
Speaker 5: I always took this as lacrosse sticks. Isn't that how

1975
01:32:23,320 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 5: you spell the lacrosse?

1976
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:26,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's more of like a rich white kid.

1977
01:32:26,880 --> 01:32:31,960
Speaker 5: Lacross is a look to a long island about the.

1978
01:32:31,960 --> 01:32:34,560
Speaker 3: Native Americans play. Lacrosse is a wax sport.

1979
01:32:35,120 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 4: What is your favorite quote?

1980
01:32:36,640 --> 01:32:39,719
Speaker 1: I was their moment in combats Foriruse. You already know mine, Luke.

1981
01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:42,320
Speaker 1: What a gas along?

1982
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:47,400
Speaker 3: Yeahlice Dota five thousand. That is that's pretty wild that

1983
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:49,040
Speaker 3: I was there for that. I was in the right

1984
01:32:49,080 --> 01:32:50,320
Speaker 3: So I was there UFC two.

1985
01:32:50,200 --> 01:32:53,599
Speaker 1: Thirty six in in uh In Atlanta, and that will

1986
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,360
Speaker 1: always be my goat. Even though I was at UFC

1987
01:32:55,439 --> 01:32:58,280
Speaker 1: two o five, UFC two seventeen, the Two Garden Bangers,

1988
01:32:58,600 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 1: and I was at two twenty nine and Habbib's manager

1989
01:33:01,680 --> 01:33:05,400
Speaker 1: got arrested on my laptop. I was that I was

1991
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 1: that there for the explosion when Amanda got that KO.

2085
01:36:59,520 --> 01:37:02,480
Speaker 1: of me officially making my favorite is because I harassed

Speaker 5: I love thee The reason.

2099
01:37:34,040 --> 01:37:36,360
Speaker 1: Why people hate it is because when we would watch

2100
01:37:36,400 --> 01:37:37,559
Speaker 1: it once a year as a kid, it was the

2101
01:37:37,560 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 1: greatest thing ever. And then when it went on twenty

2102
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:42,760
Speaker 1: four hour airing cycles on and TBS, You're like, I

2103

Speaker 3: year we watch ELF.

2106
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:50,320
Speaker 1: Elf is probably the number one hitting.

2107
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:52,479
Speaker 3: But if there's no kids in the room, the answer

2108
01:37:52,560 --> 01:37:54,559
Speaker 3: is bad Santa. I don't know. I don't care what

Speaker 1: when back when he was even at Virginia Tech, he

2429
01:52:35,040 --> 01:52:38,680
Speaker 1: would just take the ball and it would look like

2430
01:52:38,800 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 1: his arm would barely move, yes, and the ball would

2431
01:52:42,439 --> 01:52:44,880
Speaker 1: fly seventy five fucking yards.

2432
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:48,360
