Kid? 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.160 It is great to see you, my man. Man. John 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.800 just gets to go to Hawaii and play golf. What 0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:15.319 the heck's going on now? He deserves a break, dude. 0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:18.080 You know, got a chance to watch some good fights 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.319 and World Cup going on? 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.039 A lot going on, dude. 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.000 Yeah, you know, and I'm curious what you're rooting in. 0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:25.640 Just says you bring up the World Cup, so I'll 0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.200 just start there. But are you a fan of Argentina? 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:29.959 Is that the team you root for? I know you're 0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:30.679 a Peruvian. 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.880 Yes, well I should say I'm a fan of Messi, 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:38.040 not necessarily Argentina. I just like seeing good soccer and 0:01:38.120 --> 0:01:40.520 the story was just amazing to see Messi at thirty 0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.080 nine years old do what he did to get to 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.679 the final. Of course he came up short, but the 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:48.400 better team did indeed win, and that was Spain. 0:01:48.480 --> 0:01:48.920 For sure. 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.680 It would have been nice to see more goals, but 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.160 I thought it was a fantastic World Cup. Argentina played 0:01:55.480 --> 0:01:57.200 great with a lot of heart, a lot of passion, 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:58.960 but in the end, Spain was just too much. 0:01:59.040 --> 0:01:59.400 Dude. 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.000 Oh, I mean zero shots on goal? If I'm not married, 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:03.400 zero shot Yeah. 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.880 So, but they almost made it to the PKS and 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.080 apparently they would have had an advantage there. But I 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:12.200 will say for this American sports nation in which we live, 0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:14.639 it felt like having this World Cup on our soil 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.040 move the needle a little bit. 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:18.080 Like I I've always been into the World Cup. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:21.480 And obviously Kenny played college soccer at Boston College, so 0:02:21.480 --> 0:02:22.480 obviously I know you're a player. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:25.200 But it felt like the US little juice for this sport, you. 0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:26.640 Know, I think so. 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:28.720 And you know, in a lot of ways, I think 0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:32.000 we got exposed in that Listen, we had a lot 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.079 of great players. I think a lot of people it 0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:35.560 would have been nice for a lot of people to 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:38.440 see them go a lot further in the tournament. But 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:39.920 I think in a lot of ways it was a 0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.200 positive in that, Hey, we got people excited about the sport. 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:45.440 Now, what are we gonna move How are we going. 0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:47.840 To move forward as a country as a sport to 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:50.760 kind of get better results? And I think it comes 0:02:50.800 --> 0:02:53.720 down to the U system and really developing with a 0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:58.280 lot more intention and really deliberating like how we're going 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:01.760 to get better at as a nation as a professional league. 0:03:01.960 --> 0:03:05.440 And I think for that reason, I think we'll move 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:06.560 forward in a positive way. 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:08.919 Yeah, hopefully in twenty thirty we can make a little 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.600 noise once we get that next stage. 0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:13.640 But I know y'all are here for the fight stuff. 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:15.880 We are powered by all the smoke fight So let's 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.720 get in to headline. A lot of combat sports stuff 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.600 to talk about from the weekend past. So obviously Duplessi 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.360 Usman was the main event. We'll get to that fight night. 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.520 But you know where I got a start flow. For 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.920 those of you that don't know Blaw Muhammed a close 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.240 friend of mine, I want to talk a little bit 0:03:30.240 --> 0:03:33.560 about this real American freestyle wrestling, right, So Blala and 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.240 I hosted a show on this channel. Remember the show, 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.600 Cody Merrow was at the Helm. We hosted about one 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:40.520 hundred and fifty episodes on this channel. Bila is a 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:42.920 very close friend of mine and when we started hosting 0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:46.120 this show, he was an unranked welterweight fighter and became 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:49.320 champion of the world. Obviously, it's been a tough stretch 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:52.320 for Blao, so he gets this opportunity at RAF. So 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.920 you had Muhammad versus Askron Ben Askron off the double 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.480 lung transplant, which just blows my mind that he was 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.040 even in a competitive setting. And then the main event 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.080 you had Covington versus Saraukian. So it was fascinating event 0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:06.800 for me. Did you catch any of that. Baalah Muhammad 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:07.960 did get his hand raised. 0:04:08.480 --> 0:04:11.600 Yeah, I saw some of the highlights, Yes, so. 0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.120 You know, I guess Askron was up three to nothing 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.400 at the end of the second period and Balal, I 0:04:17.400 --> 0:04:19.360 guess came back, had a big win six'. Three seen 0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:22.400 him get his hand raised just warmed my heart given 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.200 what he had been. Through and obviously he has wanted 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.880 to Fight Colby covington for a long. Time So covington 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:31.279 in the main event gets Through. SARUKIAN i guess he 0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.640 wins The crossover cruiserweight belt or. Whatever it, is sort 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.880 of setting this up For balal And colby to face. 0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.320 Off and so the postfight press, CONFERENCE i Think cody 0:04:39.400 --> 0:04:42.320 has a little, footage But balal landed a front kick 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.160 to the chest On. Covington apparently these two are going to, 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:50.560 compete so let's say. This SO i guess they're talking 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:52.960 mess And balal gets a little fired up. Here covington 0:04:53.000 --> 0:04:56.080 had some really choice words about the New Father muhammad 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:56.560 earlier in the. 0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:12.960 Week, yeah significant, strike so much ado about nothing, here 0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:14.559 but obviously sets up a little. 0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.840 JUICE i guess they're gonna compete in the co main 0:05:16.920 --> 0:05:20.320 event On august twenty. SECOND i Think Sean brady's, headlining 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:22.760 but you, know Real american freestyle sort of moving the 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:24.320 needle a little. Bit i'd be lying to you IF 0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:26.680 i told YOU i had That Fox nation app but 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.440 some juice for this. 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.159 PROMOTION i, agree. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.000 LISTEN i think that they've done a great job in 0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:37.119 making the right matches at the right, time getting people 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.479 excited about wrestling. AGAIN i think is. Awesome getting a 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.480 lot of high level former wrestlers and of course current 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.560 and former fighters. 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:47.400 INVOLVED i think is a smart. 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.919 Choice you, know obviously it's been a great funnel for 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.560 mixed martial arts to get a lot of these former high. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:56.640 Level wrestlers involved in mixed martial. 0:05:56.720 --> 0:06:00.400 Arts and, YEAH i think they've done an AWESOME i 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.440 don't know how they have a lot of current fighters 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:05.480 on their competing you. KNOW i Think dana used to 0:06:05.560 --> 0:06:07.680 be so worried about people getting injured all the. Time 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.800 but it's. Working it's getting people. Excited it seems like 0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.640 they always have a good. Crowd that they've been. Consistent 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.360 i've been seeing it everywhere so, PROMOTIONALLY i think they're 0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:17.200 doing a fantastic. 0:06:17.279 --> 0:06:18.480 Jump they. 0:06:18.480 --> 0:06:19.960 Are you know What i'll say though it's Like Sean 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:23.440 brady Competing august twenty second headline Against Jordan burrow's At 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.640 Real American freestyle week before they're in his, hometown the 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.200 uf seas In. PHILADELPHIA i understand you might not have 0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:30.000 been ready to make that, turn but it's Like i'm 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.120 not Getting pypher In, Philadelphia i'm not Getting. Brady SO 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.440 i don't KNOW i have a little itch to scratch. 0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:37.880 There but let's move on to THE ufc fight night From. 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.560 Okay see Last Saturday, Night Drickis duplessi gets the five 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.680 round unanimous decision win Over Kamara. Usman dominant performance from 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.440 the former middleweight champion dup plus, ce, defeating in my, 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.760 opinion really one of the BEST ufc fighters of all 0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:51.800 time In Kamara. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:56.200 USMAN i thought this was one of the more brilliant 0:06:56.240 --> 0:07:00.880 performances From Drickis duplici That i've. Seen he looked faster to, 0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.360 me AND i think it came down to a few. 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.120 Things first of, all his ability to really judge the 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:10.080 distance and master that. Distance it just took away a 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:14.200 lot Of Kamara uzman's wrestling, opportunity so it seemed Like 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.120 kamorrow was never really in the right spot to hit 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:20.840 a great takedown and then when he, Did driggs did 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.160 a great job of getting right back to his. FEET 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:28.120 i thought his striking looked. Phenomenal he hurt Kamaraw uzman 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.960 repeatedly throughout that. Fight props To uzman for his heart 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.080 and his chin at one hundred and eighty five pounds 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:36.680 for getting it, done but his SIZE i think was 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.040 a factor as. Well it just seemed Like tomorrow just 0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:43.040 couldn't hurt him bad, enough and it seemed LIKE ddp 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:46.000 also broke his hand at some point during during that. 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:49.880 Fight BUT i thought he looked fantastic. 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.400 And credit To usman obviously getting. Through you, know that 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:55.040 was the first time he had ever lost by unanimous, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:58.000 decision which fascinated me a couple of majority. Decisions but 0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:00.640 just For Kamara usman for those that, know you know 0:08:00.640 --> 0:08:02.760 he hasn't been the most active fighter over the last three, 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:06.280 years but won the welterweight title defended it five. Times 0:08:06.280 --> 0:08:08.000 like you, see a lot of these champions have a 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.000 very difficult time going on championship, reigns if you, Will 0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:14.000 so just in, DEFEAT i couldn't have more respect For. 0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:17.360 USMAN i would like to see him back at, welterweight, 0:08:17.400 --> 0:08:19.800 THOUGH i do think there's some opportunities there and when 0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:22.240 he moves up to. MIDDLEWEIGHT i JUST i feel like 0:08:22.280 --> 0:08:25.280 the size was, really to your, point the big detriment that, 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:27.160 night you, know, yeah and a lot of. 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.840 People you, know when you've been in this sport for 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:32.439 as long As camorrow has and he's won everything there 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.280 is to, win there's always the question, mark like does 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:38.360 he have the? Passion does he still enjoy to get 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.640 up for fights and train and have that willingness to 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:44.160 win during a? Fight AND i think he put all 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:47.000 of that to rest with that fifth round, performance you, 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:50.800 know where he was largely dominated for four, rounds but 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.680 he came back to win that fifth round like he 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:56.840 was trying to win that. Fight and like you, SAID 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.960 i think size was definitely a. Factor but to see 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:04.160 someone in that spot at his, age with everything he's 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:07.320 done to really look for a way to, WIN i 0:09:07.360 --> 0:09:10.720 thought was fantastic AND i think you're. RIGHT i think 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.080 he would be much more of a threat at one 0:09:13.160 --> 0:09:15.480 hundred and seventy. Pounds certainly an elite fighter at one 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:18.880 hundred and eighty five, pounds but not quite enough at 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.440 that elite level at one, five but at one, SEVENTY 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.680 i think he can certainly do damage and perhaps even 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:28.760 be maybe the only guy who can Threaten Isla Maha 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:32.120 chef with his wrestling right and maybe thwart his takedown. 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.320 Attempt SO i think that would be interesting moving. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:37.520 Forward, yeah, well he'll certainly have eyes on that championship 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.760 a couple couple weeks from. Now you know in Dup 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.880 plas you, know talked a lot about his discipline and his, 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.320 patients and you talked about how impress you were with the. 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.600 Performance really liked seeing. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.400 Him not necessarily he sometimes can be kind of an awkward, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:52.240 fighter not necessarily prioritize the, finish put a complete twenty 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:56.199 five minutes. Together and that middleweight division is just. FASCINATING i, 0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:57.800 mean who's next For. STRICKLAND i think there are a 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.480 lot of different options you could go, There He, mavob you, 0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:02.400 know even EVEN i, mean who would you go with 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:04.920 of those? THREE I, mavov would you go with? Dupless 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.080 or you Think hamsa deserves that rematch right? 0:10:07.120 --> 0:10:11.280 Now, gosh you, KNOW i think The hamzat fight is 0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:15.520 probably the one to. Do unfortunately FOR, ddp just because 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.840 of the fact that he's such a big, star AND 0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.880 i think For strickland it probably serves him well from 0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.920 a financial standpoint to go for that. Rematch but you, 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:26.920 know there's a lot of, options you. KNOW i feel 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:29.439 bad For, imavov who is kind of on the back 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:32.760 burner right, now who certainly deserves, it but he doesn't 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:37.679 have the star power of EITHER ddp or of course Hamzat, 0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:41.160 Chimaya SO i don't. Know maybe it's maybe it's A 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.280 ddp In mava fight that you can, build but you 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.080 also don't want to take away from one of the 0:10:46.080 --> 0:10:48.400 contenders in the. Future SO i don't know how THE 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:50.680 ufc is gonna approach that. One BUT i wouldn't mind 0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:52.920 SEEING ddp And imavov go at. IT i think that 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:56.720 would be an awesome. Fight BUT i think With hamza 0:10:56.880 --> 0:10:59.719 being such a big, star those are gonna have to 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:01.920 kind of wait and see what. Happens so, yeah AND 0:11:01.960 --> 0:11:04.040 i maybe maybe something that has to do With strickland 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:04.960 making his, choice. 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:06.040 You, Know, yeah that's a good. 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.280 POINT i don't THINK I mavov has made himself completely 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.720 undeniable in the WAY i think THAT i And gary 0:11:12.240 --> 0:11:15.240 did you, know with his opportunity At.
