33
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 5: out on on on April twenty second. So we missed

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 5: out on the four twenty, but we did not miss

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 5: out on the four twenty episode this year. You know,

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 5: I've smoked. We with many fighters, but there's only one

37
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 5: man I thought to book for the four twenty episodes.

38
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 5: So UFC Badwoy contender Sugar Shan O'Malley is going to

39
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 5: be with us in about five minutes or so off

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 5: the top of the show. But ken Flow, it looks

41
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 5: as though May ninth is going to be the UFC's

42
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 5: turn to action. It looks as though it'll be an

43
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 5: interim lightweight championship fight between Tony Ferguson and Justin Gaetgee,

44
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 5: the fight that was to have gone down April eighteenth.

45
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 5: Two days ago, Tony Ferguson intimated that he was gonna

46
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 5: make weight on Friday, April seventeenth, and that's exactly what

47
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 5: the man did.

48
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 8: Now.

49
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 5: I know you had some practice weight cuts and things

50
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 5: like that back in the day, but I gotta know

51
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: your thoughts on Tony making the decision to do a

52
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 5: practice weight cut in theory three weeks before he'll do

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 5: it for real.

54
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 7: You know, when I looked at this and I said,

55
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 7: you know, what is Tony doing? This guy that is

56
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 7: not healthy for you physically. But you know, Tony's the

57
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 7: kind of guy that does a lot of things that

58
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 7: kind of don't make sense. But it's what makes Tony Tony.

59
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 7: You know, it separates them from everybody else. This guy

60
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 7: just thinks differently, He does things differently than everybody else,

61
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 7: and I think that gives him a certain strength and

62
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 7: determination to go out there and do what very few

63
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 7: people can do and to get that kind of consistency.

64
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 7: So I'm definitely not gonna doubt Tony Ferguson. You know,

65
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 7: I think it's his mind that makes him so great

66
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 7: and things like this, so I think he probably needed

67
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 7: to do that to keep his focus, to keep himself ready,

68
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 7: and just to kind of let everybody know, like, hey,

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 7: I can do this. I'm gonna make the weight and

70
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 7: I'm ready to do this any weekend you ask. And

71
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 7: I think he was on point with his weight leading

72
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 7: up to it. I think it was Arielhelwane who tweeted that.

73
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 7: You know, he was one hundred and sixty four pounds

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 7: the day before, so it really wasn't like a huge

75
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 7: weight cut. This is a guy who's in shape and

76
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 7: ready to rock, and that fight against Gaechee is going

77
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 7: to be bananas if the UFC's able to pull.

78
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 5: It off, and it truly is champshit only right, It

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 5: is his tagline, like only champions will be able to

80
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 5: do this stuff. Correct me if I'm wrong, though, Genetically, Kenny,

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: there are some people, you know, Kendy Floory and Paul Felder,

82
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: a couple lightweights who come to mind, there's just no

83
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 5: way genetically physically doing this three weeks out from a

84
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 5: championship fight would be impossibility.

85
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 8: No.

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 7: I mean, for absolutely for a lot lot of people,

87
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 7: absolutely not. And you know, Ferguson is the kind of

88
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 7: guy who doesn't, you know, adhere to to certain norms.

89
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 7: And it's amazing, man, I think you know, it's it's

90
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 7: especially interesting that he didn't make one fifty six because

91
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 7: he would have made it. He would have made it.

92
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 7: He did one fifty five. That's championship weight. So absolutely

93
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 7: championship only. What a legend, what a total legend. First

94
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 7: ball of future UFC Hall of Famer, even though remarkably

95
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 7: he's never competed for the UFC's undisputed lightweight championship. Still

96
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 7: not getting that opportunity on May ninth, but he will

97
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 7: fight Justin Gatge, a guy who doesn't cut a whole

98
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 7: lot of weight. So props to Tony Ferguson for, you know,

99
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 7: towing his own line and doing whatever he wants to

100
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 7: do whenever he wants to do it. I love watching

101
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 7: everything he's doing, throwing the baseballs. You know, people don't

102
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 7: realize how good an athlete he was, not just the wrestling,

103
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 7: but as a baseball player. So we will be tracking

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 7: Tony Ferguson's every move leading up to May ninth and

105
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 7: hopefully that interim title fight with Justin Gaegee does in

106
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 7: fact stay together. So Kennedy, the UFC hasn't confirmed anything,

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 7: but we have seen some other fight announcements and things

108
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 7: reports come out. One fight that wasn't on anybody's radar.

109
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 7: You know, we've talked about Jarzenio Rosenstrike and Francis and

110
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 7: Gano and other fights that are just getting moved to

111
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 7: maynth But a rematch between lightweight division Staples, the former champion,

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 7: Anthony Showtime Pettis taking on Donald Cowboy Seroni. This is

113
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 7: a rematch of a twenty thirteen meeting, so that one

114
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 7: lasted two minutes and thirty five seconds.

115
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 5: It was a win for Showtime by TKO. So now

116
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 5: they're going to meet again, presumably at one hundred and

117
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 5: seventy pounds. Might be the featured prelam on ESPN May ninth,

118
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 5: So just another injection of talent to what is shaping

119
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 5: up as a mega card on maynin First of.

120
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 8: All, I think that's great matchmaking.

121
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 7: You know, their first fight seems like it was a

122
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 7: lifetime ago, that was a very different Cowboy Seroni. Anthony

123
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 7: Pettis really was kind of moving towards his peak at

124
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 7: that point in his career, Donald Cowboy Seroni, it seemed

125
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 7: like was still kind of getting his beak wet int

126
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 7: the UFC.

127
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 8: But I think Serni is.

128
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 7: A much more technical fighter at this stage of his career,

129
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 7: certainly has much more experience now, and you know, both

130
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 7: of them are kind of at a crossroads right now.

131
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 7: So I think it's it's smart matchmaking in that regard

132
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 7: as as far as where they are at this point

133
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 7: in their careers. Both excellent strikers, both excellent and dangerous grapplers,

134
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 7: and you know, that's a fight I would love to see.

135
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 7: I certainly think it's gonna go way longer than a

136
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 7: couple of minutes. I think Cowboys Sernie's gonna be ready

137
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 7: for that bodykick this time around where it should be anyway,

138
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 7: And I think it it kind of shows, you know,

139
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 7: for Anthony Pettis, he's still kind of that same guy

140
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 7: in that he starts very quickly, Cowboy Seroni starts very slowly.

141
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 7: So I wouldn't be surprised if Anthony Pettis really tries to,

142
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 7: you know, uh, turn the turbos on early in that

143
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 7: fight once again. Uh, and Serni better be ready to

144
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 7: start that fight. Obviously that's been a struggle for him

145
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 7: throughout his career, but I'm excited for that fight.

146
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 6: I like that.

147
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 5: So nineteen days from now, you're potentially getting Pettis Seroni two,

148
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 5: You're getting Francis and Gano versus Jarzino Rosenstrike, Calvin Cater

149
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: against Jeremy Stevens, on and on it goes, all leading

150
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 5: into a championship triple header Amanda neu Nez versus Felicia Spencer,

151
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 5: Ferguson Gatchee as we mention, and then the presumed co

152
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 5: main event for the UFC Bannamweight title between Henry Sahudo

153
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 5: and the returning Dominic Cruz. And it's just absolutely incredible

154
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: the circumstances surrounding this fight. I know Dominic exceedingly well.

155
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: I also have a close personal relationship with Henry Sahudo.

156
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 5: They've been on each other's radars for some time. They

157
00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 5: are both Arizona boys, and I'm really excited stylistically, not

158
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 5: only to see Dominic back, but to see how these

159
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 5: guys match skills and wits on fight.

160
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 7: Night, as we will talk about later on. For the

161
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 7: right now Powder Pound Tournament styles make fights. We say

162
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,679
Speaker 7: it all the time, but the way that Domina Cruz

163
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 7: matches up against Henry Tehudo, man, that is gonna be

164
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 7: very very interesting. Henry Suhudo has never faced anyone like

165
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 7: Domina Cruz. Domina Cruz is so unique. Good luck trying

166
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 7: to find a training partner that moves like him, that

167
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 7: can adapt like him. And I tell you what, Domina

168
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 7: Cruz is extremely motivated to fight. He's been training his

169
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 7: ass off ever since his loss against Cody Garbrandt. I

170
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 7: think it's been a different approach for him in some ways.

171
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 7: I think Domina Cruz has looked at that weakness and said,

172
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 7: you know, I got to feel that.

173
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:35,600
Speaker 8: I got to make that better.

174
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 7: He has been extremely motivated to become a better and

175
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 7: more evolved fighter and I think we will see just that.

176
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 7: And it's not like he can't wrestle either. Domina Cruz

177
00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 7: is such a smart fighter, man. I can't wait to

178
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 7: see that one. That is a really interesting fight and

179
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 7: a lot of times we don't see see Sahudo utilize

180
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 7: his wrestling as much as we would like, so I'm

181
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 7: curious to see how much he uses in that fight

182
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 7: against Dominic Cruz.

183
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: I communicated with dom in early April when he had

184
00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 5: about a month before the fight, and I don't know

185
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: if I told you this, Kenny, but he he was

186
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: short with me obviously. I mean, he's keeping things close

187
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 5: to the vest, but he just repeatedly said there's a

188
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 5: lot of hard work to be done.

189
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 9: You know.

190
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 5: I think he understood that May was a likely month

191
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 5: in which he was going to return. Things got expedited

192
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,320
Speaker 5: a little bit, and he's got his pedal to the medal,

193
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 5: you know, I mean, nobody's working harder there maybe people

194
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 5: who work as hard as Domina Cruz and Henry Sehuda

195
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 5: is right there legendary strength of conditioning habits, of course,

196
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,719
Speaker 5: but Dom's working hard, no doubt about it.

197
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 7: And a big advantage for Dominic, you know, with this,

198
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 7: you know, extra month to prepare. It is about a month, John,

199
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 7: about a little extra month right for him to prepare.

200
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 8: I think that helps him so long as he stays healthy.

201
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 7: I think, you know, dom wants to be or has

202
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 7: to be in shape for that kind of style that

203
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 7: he has, so I think it gives him that much

204
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 7: more time to kind of get his cardio conditioning in order.

205
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 5: No division, at least among the men more interesting for

206
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 5: me right now at one hundred and thirty five pounds,

207
00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 5: speaking of which a guy on the outside looking in,

208
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 5: but likely not for long. Let's get to the sugar show,

209
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen.

210
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 10: I go by the name of last eighty nine, coming

211
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 10: straight from jan because New York's right and I'm just

212
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 10: trying to smoke on that sugar show. O g Quarmentine

213
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 10: in my robe looking extra cozy, but don't get a twisted.

214
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 8: Get a twist.

215
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 10: I fight ferguson myself to get out.

216
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 8: Of this prison that I call home.

217
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 4: Hit up shown Shelby Book. You can't complain.

218
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 10: We all healthy. Another reason why we like went up

219
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 10: past the blunt? How many papers trying to spare my lungs?

220
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 10: Sometimes I just love the flavor because too much of

221
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,959
Speaker 10: something good leaves me in danger. Now we don't smoke

222
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 10: kiss my throat like Jordan from the Free Throat to

223

Speaker 10: and the lory your kid. Let's I need devid Blue.

226
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 10: What's on the second verse? Dropping hot Boss instead of

227
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 10: Hot Boss. Run to Rosie, find that share. I could

228
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 10: use a nurse even if my charm gets me on bar.

229
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 10: Just bring weed, mister Alick mal we bring the peace,

230
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 10: and the world could use more love until that loves

231
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 10: a own. But until then, I'm gonna hit the phone

232
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 10: and watch Nam Diaz fights until another song. Ain't nothing

233
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 10: wrong with it, We just don't we just turning.

234
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 5: Bright now joining us is about ten am his time

235
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 5: before training live at the gym. A guy who I

236
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 5: believe is gonna be a real problem for the rest

237
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 5: of this UFC band weight division, probably for the next

238
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 5: decade because he was born in nineteen ninety four. He

239
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 5: is eleven tozer right now and on a mission for greatness.

240
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 5: My friend, our good friend, sugar Shan O'Malley, what's up,

241
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 5: my man?

242
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 11: What's up?

243
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 4: Guy?

244
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 11: Yeah, thanks for having me on. Super excited.

245
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 5: So dude, it's my numbing to think that it was

246
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 5: only forty five days ago. When you want a bonus

247
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 5: for that beautiful finish of the Jose Techo kein Yonez,

248
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 5: I'd imagine not unlike for us and everybody else, that

249
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 5: feels like more than forty five days ago for you.

250
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's weird.

251
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 12: I'm so ready to get back in there. I'm like,

252
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 12: it feel like it feels like it was forever. I'm

253
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 12: ready to get back in there and do it again.

254
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 12: And especially being off those two years and I was

255
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 12: so you know, if you look at my entire career,

256
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 12: I fought four or five times every year since I

257
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 12: was sixteen.

258
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 11: So taking those two years off, and I said, I

259
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 11: got a lot, not a lot of to make up for,

260
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 11: but I just I just crave it more than I

261
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 11: usually do.

262
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 6: Yeah.

263
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 5: So I know your training circle is small. You essentially

264
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 5: have your own personal head coach, your good friend Tim Welch.

265
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 5: How has your day to day life though and training

266
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 5: life been been most impacted by by COVID nineteen and

267
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 5: and any isolation restrictions that you have out there?

268
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 8: Not a ton.

269
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 11: We're training.

270
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 12: We're at the gym right now before before training usually Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

271
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 12: We trained live competition grappling. Start from our feet. There's

272
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 12: usually a group of six like today we have me,

273
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 12: Tim and then four other killers ten Kingos in that

274
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 12: in that list, and then I think three other black

275
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 12: belts and they're they're today is there are probably be

276
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 12: ten minute rounds with probably six ten minute rounds.

277
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 11: So, and that's what I've been doing the last those

278
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 11: two years.

279
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 12: I was off doing this exact training, just competition training,

280
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 12: and it's the training I love the most. Wednesday will

281
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 12: will be in a GEE. That's usually where I get

282
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 12: fucked up most, like by those guys.

283
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 5: Uh no GI.

284
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 11: I do a lot better.

285
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 12: I can hold hold my ground a little bit more,

286
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 12: but it's it's super humbling.

287
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 11: It's going in the no G.

288
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 12: I get humbled too, but in the GI especially, it's

289
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 12: just like fuck these guys just.

290
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 11: You know, and it's really I feel like it's really

291
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,720
Speaker 11: good for my game and I improve a lot. But

292
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 11: Tim's dogg. Yeah yeah, But the COVID hasn't really changed

293
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 11: too much.

294
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 12: I'm still doing my strength and conditioning usually Tuesday, Thursday,

295
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 12: sometimes Saturday, depending on how my body feels, and then

296
00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 12: training grapple on Monday, Wednesday, Friday.

297
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 7: So, Sean, it seems like you're getting your training in.

298
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 7: Do you find it to be more of a challenge

299
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 7: in these days getting sparring partners to commit to training

300
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 7: with you right.

301
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 11: Now sparring as in grappling.

302
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 12: No, not really, because Tim and I people are messaging us, dude,

303
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 12: please let us. Let us come train, Let us come train.

304
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,959
Speaker 12: You know that we come in and we work hard,

305
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 12: and it's it's addicting. People like it and they want

306
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 12: to train. But it's nice because you know, Tim owns

307
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 12: a gym, So I think we got to tell we

308
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 12: get to pick who comes in, and we're picking tough guys.

309
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 8: You know.

310
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 7: Seeing your last fight, I think what was most impressive

311
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 7: was just your overall calmness and composure and coming off

312
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 7: of a long layoff.

313
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 8: You know, I was kind of blown away by it.

314
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 7: Man, you look like you're really coming into your own

315
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 7: You're getting comfortable in the octagon.

316
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 8: What do you credit that to?

317
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 12: Yeah, those two years I was off, I did a

318
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 12: lot of training mentally. Whether it's like just a meditation,

319
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 12: a cold plunge every night. I don't know how fa

320
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 12: you got cold plunges, but hell yeah, it's just an

321
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 12: ice freezer.

322
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 11: Chest filled up with water.

323
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 12: Plug that bad boy in the water gets you know,

324
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 12: you can let it freeze over. It goes anywhere from

325
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 12: thirty to fifty. That's usually where I get in it.

326
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 12: But that's a such a mental test every single night

327
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 12: to get in there and be able to quiet my

328
00:14:57,160 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 12: mind and when I that, Like when I was taking

329
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 12: my dogs one walks before that fight, I would every

330
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 12: night a picture Joe Rogan's standing there talking to me,

331
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 12: and after I won, and after you know it, just

332
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 12: after it happened.

333
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 6: It was.

334
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 11: It was a powerful moment.

335
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 12: But I feel like just the calmness and everything was

336
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 12: you know, just how I look at fighting, too, is

337
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 12: the more calm I am, the more dangerous I am.

338
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 11: You know.

339
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 12: You see, people have to get mad, fired up, ready

340
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 12: to kill, and I feel like that just hinders the performance.

341
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,000
Speaker 12: But I know, obviously I don't know if that's true

342
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 12: or not, but I feel like for me, the more

343
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 12: calm I am, the more dangerous I am.

344
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 8: That's music to my ears.

345
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's it right there, Sean O'Malley with us here

346
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 5: on the Anakin Florian podcast. So in terms of your calendar,

347
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 5: right the good news for you is, unlike a lot

348
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 5: of these fighters, you did compete last month. You want

349
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 5: a bonus, so you have that traction regained at bantam weight.

350
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 5: But I think for a lot of American fighters, maybe

351
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 5: the calendar gets moved up a little bit. Potentially if

352
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: international fighters can't get here, I know, you're chopping at

353
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 5: the bit anything in your head within reason in terms

354
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 5: of calender as to when you'd like to get back

355
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 5: in there.

356
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 12: I was kind of just planning on July International Fight

357
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 12: Week in Vegas. But if they said, hey, you want

358
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 12: to fight in six weeks, one hundred percent, I'm down

359
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 12: to fight sooner. I'm you know, pretty healthy, ready to go,

360
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 12: so definitely really whenever, but I picture myself fighting in July,

361
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 12: just because I messaged Sean Shelby for that UFC two

362
00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 12: forty nine card and said, hey, if anyone falls through,

363
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 12: I'm ready to go, and he said, no, we want

364
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 12: to save you for July.

365
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 11: So I don't know if if that's kind of their

366
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 11: plan or or what, but I'm ready. I'm ready to go.

367
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 12: I'm ready to I feel like I haven't got out

368
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 12: of shape, you know. That's that Monday after the fight,

369
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 12: we're back to training. So I'm I'm in pretty good

370
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 12: shape and i'd be ready to go in four or

371
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 12: five six weeks.

372
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 5: So I know when we sat down with you prior

373
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 5: to UFC two forty eight, we were all just soaking

374
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,120
Speaker 5: it all in at the fighter meeting and just listening

375
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 5: to you talk with a wisdom that certainly lies your

376
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 5: years on this earth, and the dynamic with you and

377
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,119
Speaker 5: your girlfriend and Tim Welch and everybody else is just

378
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 5: such a tight knit, mentally fortified group. In terms of

379
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 5: you and Tim, how would you describe sort of the

380
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 5: personal and professional dynamic between you? This this one two punch.

381
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 11: Yeah.

382
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 12: So when I moved down to Arizona about six years ago,

383
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 12: me and him got an apartment.

384
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 11: I didn't know him too well. He had just invited

385
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,640
Speaker 11: me down down to Arizona.

386
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 12: He seen I had potential and he said, hey, you

387
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 12: want to come come down and train at a real

388
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 12: gym because in Montana there's not really you can't get

389
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 12: great training. And I was, you know, I hit him

390
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 12: up the next day, I'm like, I'm ready to come down.

391
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 12: I want to come train. So I eventually I came down,

392
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 12: tried it out for I was here for ten days

393
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:42,679
Speaker 12: and just it was.

394
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:44,520
Speaker 11: It was not good. I got beat up bad.

395
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 12: But I really I'm like, that's that's where I need

396
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 12: to be if I want to become what I want

397
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 12: to become, which is you know, the best, the best

398
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 12: to ever do it. And so once once we moved down,

399
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 12: him and I got an apartment I think I was

400
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 12: nineteen when when we got an apartment.

401
00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 11: I didn't know how to live by my you know,

402
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 11: live alone.

403
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 12: My mom did my laundry, that she did the dishes, everything,

404
00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 12: so I had, you know, I had to learn a

405
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 12: lot about that stuff.

406
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 11: But yeah, we we lived together for two years.

407
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 12: He was still fighting at the time, but every time

408
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 12: I had a fight coming up, he would, you know,

409
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,840
Speaker 12: kind of going back going to coach mode and help

410
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 12: me with that, always flying out to my fights, holding

411
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 12: holding mits for me. So it's kind of you know,

412
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 12: I think we've had I've had eleven fights as a pro,

413
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 12: and then I had like four fights as an amateur

414
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 12: when I lived down four or five. So we've been

415
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 12: together for a long time. You know, outside the gym,

416
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 12: we're we're best friends. We hang out, you know, we're

417
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 12: super close. But inside the gym, you know, I respect

418
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 12: him as my coach, and we've we've been training together

419
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 12: for like competing against each other.

420
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 6: You know.

421
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,879
Speaker 12: The bigger I got, Like when I went weighed one

422
00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 12: hundred and forty five pounds, he's almost two hundred.

423
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 11: It was different.

424
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 12: But now that I'm a little bit stronger, we can

425
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 12: have better goes and you know, I think it's it's

426
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 12: a we have a good relationship.

427
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 5: So are your parents still planning on moving to Arizona

428
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 5: or did that already happen?

429
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 12: No, they drove actually just drove their motor home down

430
00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 12: last weekend, which is a nineteen hour driving a motor home.

431
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 11: They're crazy, but so they did that.

432
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 12: They're planning on selling their house in Montana and they're

433
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 12: trying to come down as as soon as possible. I

434
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 12: think my little sister's moving down here in July. She's

435
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 12: going to go to a community college here and play basketball.

436
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,639
Speaker 12: So hopefully getting the whole family down here sooner and later.

437
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 5: So what are your thoughts overall on this Bannam weight landscape? Obviously,

438
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 5: in a perfect world, this division would keep moving and

439
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 5: Henry would put his belt on the line May nine,

440
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,399
Speaker 5: potentially against Dominic Cruz. But any thoughts on dom getting

441
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 5: the title fight and overall where the top fifteen is

442
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 5: right now?

443
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 12: Yeah, the bandweight division is the most stacked division you

444
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 12: see right now. I think there's just you know, top

445
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,680
Speaker 12: the top ten is just crazy right now.

446
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 11: Yeah. And then dom versus Henry.

447
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 12: I know Dominic hasn't fought in a couple of years

448
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:04,639
Speaker 12: and he's coming off a loss.

449
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 11: That's an interesting fight. I don't really know how to

450
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 11: predict that fight.

451
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 12: It's just kind of just because we haven't seen Dominic

452
00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 12: in a while, and the last time we did see

453
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 12: him we got schooled, So you know that's got to

454
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 12: play into him. You know, Henry's coming off all these

455
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 12: crazy wins, so there's confidence is probably riding real high.

456
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 11: But it's an interesting fight. I do feel like, uh, Henry.

457
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 12: Would probably Henry could probably beat him. Dominic doesn't really

458
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 12: have that knockout power and I feel like Henry can

459
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,200
Speaker 12: definitely catch him. But I think uh sand Haagan would

460
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 12: be an interesting matchup. Versus Henry Sterling, I think would

461
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 12: be an interesting matchup there. There's all all of them

462
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 12: are interesting matchups, But Henry versus Dominic, I don't know,

463
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 12: don't you can? You know Dominic deserves it looking at

464
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 12: his whole career, but coming off the loss and a

465
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 12: couple of years ago, it's kind of it's questionable.

466
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 5: I know when I said down with you last month,

467
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,919
Speaker 5: we talked about your place in this bandam weight division,

468
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 5: and every time Kenny and I look at the rankings

469
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 5: and don't see you there, they look wrong. But I

470
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 5: know you're not as impatient as some people you know

471
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 5: on Tim O'Malley that are your fans that have created

472
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,399
Speaker 5: this fan base. But I gotta think if July you

473
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 5: were fighting Henry Shudo right now, even if you're a

474
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 5: couple of years away from maybe your best or you're

475
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 5: fighting prime, you believe you're ready to beat the top

476
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 5: five guys in the world right now.

477
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 12: Yes, absolutely, I feel like I can knock out any

478
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 12: any one of them in the top well, anyone in

479
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 12: the bandamweight division. I feel like my my eyes, my speed,

480
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 12: my height, I feel like I can knock out.

481
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 11: Any one of them.

482
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:40,400
Speaker 12: But I'm also not in a rush to say, hey,

483
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 12: give me that give me that title. Stright, hey let

484
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 12: me fight a top five because I am twenty five,

485
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 12: and I know once you start fighting the best dudes

486
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 12: in the world, which I'm going to be real soon, like,

487
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 12: you don't stop fighting the best guys in the world,

488
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 12: especially if you're winning.

489
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 11: I've plent on you know, winning. I don't everyone.

490
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 12: I would like to stay undefeated, but you know, it's

491
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 12: like when you fight the best in the world, you

492
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 12: can lose.

493
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 11: But I also look at it like if I'm taking

494
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 11: each fight.

495
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 12: A serious, serious training camp, I feel like I could

496
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 12: just keep winning, win and winning, and you know, I'm

497
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 12: gonna go through some wars fighting these top dudes. It's

498
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 12: not going to just be a first round knockout, just

499
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 12: be a first round knockout. I'm gonna have to, you know,

500
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 12: be ready to go for twenty five minutes when I

501
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 12: start fighting main events, title fights and all that's gonna

502
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 12: you know, I'm excited for all that, but I'm also

503
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 12: not rushing into it and trying to do that next fight.

504
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 12: If I had to fight a top ten guy, top

505
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 12: five guy, There's no doubt in my mind I could

506
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:33,920
Speaker 12: go in.

507
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 11: There and win. Absolutely.

508
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 12: I feel like with the training partners, I have the

509
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 12: skill level, I have the mindset I have you know,

510
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 12: I can compete with those guys.

511
00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 7: Sean, it seems like you're taking the right approach, man,

512
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 7: But what are the kind of things that you're working

513
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 7: on most right now to get to that level where

514
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 7: you feel you can beat anyone in the top ten?

515
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 7: Well say that again, So what are the kind of

516
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 7: skills that you're working on right now? Kind of the

517
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 7: feeling in your weaknesses that you feel are going to

518
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 7: help you to beat those guys in the top ten.

519
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 12: I feel like the way to for someone to beat

520
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,680
Speaker 12: me is try to hold me down. Try to take

521
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,920
Speaker 12: me down, hold me down. I'm super active off my back.

522
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 12: I have a really good guillotine. I'm getting a really

523
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 12: nasty dars and getting really good in the front headlock position.

524
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 11: I'm getting really good at getting up off my back,

525
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 11: attacking off my back.

526
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 12: So I feel like that way to beat me is

527
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:27,840
Speaker 12: gonna be It's not really going to be the answer,

528
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 12: I think, And I haven't really got to show that

529
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 12: yet besides that Quintet, but not a ton of people

530
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 12: saw that Quintet event. So I still have that in

531
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 12: my arsenal where people think, Okay, we're gonna take him

532
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,880
Speaker 12: down and beat him, and when they take me down,

533
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 12: they're gonna get choked.

534
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 11: So I think that that I.

535
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,640
Speaker 12: Still have is kind of a secret almost. So that's

536
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 12: that's not gonna be the answer. So right, That's what

537
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 12: I'm working on is making sure that's not the answer.

538
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 12: Take me down and hold me down. You're not gonna

539
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 12: be able to do that. I don't think you know,

540
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 12: very many people are gonna want to strike with me.

541
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 12: I think once they feel me in the octagon, they

542
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,840
Speaker 12: feel the speed and they're getting hit with stuff that

543
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 12: they don't really know where it's coming from, that they're

544
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 12: gonna try to take me down. And I I mean,

545
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,120
Speaker 12: I'm making sure right now expect, like with these training

546
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 12: sessions that that's not going to be able to happen.

547
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 12: They're not going to be able to take me down,

548
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 12: hold me down, so that those are those are the

549
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:19,239
Speaker 12: things I'm taking. The skills I'm trying to attain right

550
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 12: now is just be as nasty as I can off

551
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 12: my back. You know, one person I really like to

552
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 12: watch Charles Olivera. You know, I want to be like him.

553
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 12: I want people to be like Damn. I don't want

554
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 12: to take him down. So that's, you know, that's kind

555
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 12: of the where I'm going, all right.

556
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 5: A couple of rapid fire questions here with Sean O'Malley

557
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 5: on the way out. Most likely opponent for you in

558
00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 5: twenty twenty from this list, Cheeto Vera, Cody Garbrandt, Pedro

559
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: Muno's or half ay Ela Sunseu Cody got.

560
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 12: I don't know if it's true, but I heard Cody

561
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 12: went down to twenty five because because I came up

562
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 12: to you know, I started started making my name. I

563
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 12: don't know if that's true, so probably not him. I

564
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 12: would probably say Cheeto definitely, you know, I kind of

565
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 12: I asked for Jose after I came back and Mike,

566
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 12: you know, I was supposed to fight him. He deserves

567
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 12: that that spot, and I feel like Cheeto does too.

568
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 12: I also heard you say he doesn't He's not gonna

569
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 12: look for a fight with me or anything.

570
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 11: So I don't know, but out of that list, I

571
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 11: would price price.

572
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 5: To him, and Cheeto's got that number fourteen next to

573
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 5: his name at least right now. But I think most

574
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 5: guys see you on equivocally with respect to the others

575
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 5: in the top twenty as the most dangerous maybe avoided

576
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: guy without a number next to his name right now.

577
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 5: I know you keep a sharp diet. Obviously you're really

578
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 5: not getting north of one hundred and sixty pounds, but

579
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 5: like it is for twenty I mean, do you have

580
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 5: a munchie snack that maybe is healthy that is a

581
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 5: go to for our listeners out there, a.

582
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 11: Healthy go to snack?

583
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 12: I mean you can you can pretty much find anything

584
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 12: that you crave. You can make it healthy for me.

585
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 12: You know, we might do some healthy organic pizzas tonight.

586
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 12: All right, so I'm a big pizza guy. But you can,

587
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 12: really you can. You can make that in a healthy way.

588
00:25:55,320 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 12: So I like pizza, just quality organic ingredients, raw chet.

589
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 11: Grass fed me. I don't know, you can, you can.

590
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:05,119
Speaker 6: You can.

591
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 12: Definitely, anything you can think of that you like, you

592
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 12: can make it healthy.

593
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 8: I like that.

594
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 5: That's good advice. Sorry, factor fiction. Henry Shuto will still

595
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 5: be the UFC bantamweight champion at this time next year.

596
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 12: Ooh, I'm musa say fact, just because he'll probably fight

597
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 12: one time.

598
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 5: Well that right, see, I see how smart it is,

599
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 5: right See I had to extend it a full year

600
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 5: with the Coked nineteen and everything else. But yeah, it

601
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 5: might only be one fight and he's gonna be favored

602
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: to win it, you know.

603
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think I think, uh, he'll probably be dominic

604
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 12: and then and then ride out the champ as long

605
00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 12: as he can.

606
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 8: All right.

607
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 5: Then, last thing I was watching that Quintet Ultra Live.

608
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: I know, chill Son and Submission Underground is going strong.

609
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 5: I mean, is that something where you could take a

610
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,959
Speaker 5: grappling thing when you don't have a fight on the books,

611
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 5: and would there be a spot between now and July

612
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 5: that there would be something that that you could wet

613
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,239
Speaker 5: your beak with.

614
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, definitely.

615
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 12: It's just so risky with how good these guys are

616
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,960
Speaker 12: leg locks and stuff. Nowadays it's you we saw what

617
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 12: happened to Cub Swanson. It's just so risky too.

618
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 8: You know.

619
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 12: I love competing and grappling, and that's why we do it. Monday, Wednesday, Friday,

620
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,240
Speaker 12: we're competing. But to go out there and go against

621
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 12: someone I don't know and I don't really trust. Obviously

622
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 12: they're trying to they're trying to win, so it's super risky.

623
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 11: I don't know.

624
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 12: One thing I definitely want to try is the ADCC

625
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 12: trials and stuff. It's just it's it's I don't know

626
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,320
Speaker 12: if it's a smart career choice, just because you never

627
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:30,440
Speaker 12: know what can happen in those scenarios.

628
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 11: So I would say probably not, but anything could happen.

629
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 12: And if the right opponent, if you know, if I'm

630
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 12: getting offered to compete against someone who I know is

631
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 12: more of a wrestler, who's going to try to put

632
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 12: me on my back, past my guard, you know, take

633
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 12: my back guillotine me something like that maybe, but just

634
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 12: nowadays the.

635
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 11: Leg locked guys, they're just so dangerous to go with.

636
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 5: Oh that's a that's a smart outlook. Well, it's been

637
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 5: a pleasure obviously to chat with you and catch up

638
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 5: with you and watch you rise.

639
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 6: Man.

640
00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 5: This bandam weight division is much better with you in it.

641
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 5: So stay down out there and hopefully International Fight Week

642
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 5: will be the week and we'll see in July, my man.

643
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 5: We appreciate your time, sincerely.

644
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 11: Yes sir, Thank you, Kenny, thank you John, appreciate you guys.

645
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 8: Thanks Sean.

646
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 5: They helping on Tim Vanhamway contender The Sugar Show two

647
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 5: point zero Sean O'Malley with us here on the Anak

648
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: and Florian podcast. You know, there's a cerebral backdrop there

649
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: can flow right when he talks about even just the

650
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 5: grappling matchups, but there's so much thought that goes into

651
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 5: all of his decisions, and I do think it's a

652
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:30,400
Speaker 5: pretty potent one and two punch there with Tim Welch,

653
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 5: who has really put his career on hold and is

654
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 5: almost exclusively training Sean to try to get him to

655
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 5: that championship level.

656
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 7: Well, he's definitely doing the right things, it seems, and

657
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 7: saying the right things. I think he has a pretty

658
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 7: honest outlook on his training, on his own experience.

659
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 8: I think he's taking the right fights, which is huge.

660
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 7: A lot of people get very excited management and coaches

661
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 7: and they just kind of move you up the ladder

662
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 7: as quickly as possible. He's taking the right fights and

663
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 7: getting the right experience. It doesn't matter where your skills

664
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 7: are at. You need the experience and you need the mindset,

665
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 7: and that's what's going to build up the strength of

666
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 7: his overall game over time if he continues on this path.

667
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 7: So I like where he's at in this division.

668
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 5: Man, All right, good stuff there. We appreciate the Sugar Show.

737
00:33:03,560 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 7: know their business and other businesses are struggling, but the

738
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 7: fact that they go out of their way to go

739
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 7: out and help people, those are the kind of stories

740
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 7: you just like to hear in these difficult times. And

00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 7: I don't know, I just love it. And Ray, I'm

742
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 7: so glad that it all worked out.

743
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 6: Hey, yeah, yeah, I will. Uh, I mean, I send

744
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 6: you to pictures. I mean it was pretty bid, you

745
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 6: know what I mean. I mean that chimney got crushed

746
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 6: right down there, like again another foot, so that that

747
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 6: tree is on my head, you know. So it was, Uh,

748
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 6: it was a crazy time. But again I agree in

749
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: a time like this way you trapped in your house

750
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 6: for a month already, and then to have that happen,

751
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 6: and then to have people just not even that what happened.

752
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 6: It was just the efficiency and the timeliness was crazy.

753
00:33:48,720 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 6: I mean, he took care of that ship, which I

754
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 6: thought would have just to get somebody over the house

755
00:33:54,200 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 6: for be a week. He took care of it so quick.

756
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,959
Speaker 6: I'm telling you, my mind had never even happened at

757
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,560
Speaker 6: this point. Wow. You know, it's like that's how quickly

758
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 6: was taking care of you know.

00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 6: cutting about three months.

Speaker 6: hair with him, I'm gonna staved in in the fucking heart.

797
00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 6: Are you kidding? Matter? Put an edge weapon? You want

798
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 6: to put an edge weapon in a Cuban's hand? Are

799
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 6: you crazy?

800
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 5: So other things Ray Frankie Edgar, I believed in an

801
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:54,840
Speaker 5: interview with the Great John Morgan from m M A Junkie,

802
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 5: and he seems to want this Aljamain Sterling fight. I

803
00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 5: know it was. Uh, it was on the books at

804
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 5: one point in time, or at least it was close.

805
00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:06,000
Speaker 5: Any thoughts on Al Joe and Frankie and how that

806
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 5: might line up?

807
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 6: Oh wow, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't hear that yet.

808
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:14,360
Speaker 6: But uh uh that's interesting that I would. That would

809
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 6: be an interesting thing. Look, I obviously I don't like

810
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 6: it on the basis of I love Frankie and obviously

811
00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 6: Baljo's you know, my guy, and I like marking those guys.

812
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:26,759
Speaker 6: But other than that, you know, you know, it's a

813
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,319
Speaker 6: you know, business is business type of deal. Uh, you know,

814
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:34,280
Speaker 6: I think that that's a pretty good fight for both guys,

815
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,040
Speaker 6: so that that's pretty cool. But I you know, I

816
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 6: never liked those fights where you know the people and

817
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 6: you're close to him and you know that type of ship.

818
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 6: But I think everybody's kind of past that. I would think,

819
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 6: because it was going to happen already if I'm not mistaken,

820
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,960
Speaker 6: or they were talking about it, so you know, if

821
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 6: Aljo was going to take a fight. Frankie's obviously a

822
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 6: big enough name that if he doesn't get a title shot,

823
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,279
Speaker 6: I think that that's a pretty cool fight for him.

824
00:36:58,600 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 8: It's a great fight.

825
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 5: Kenny Corey, Sarry Cory Sandhagen took issue with the Edgar

826
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:08,240
Speaker 5: interview because he doesn't want to be cut in terms

827
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 5: of getting that Al Joe fight. But obviously a lot

828
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:12,400
Speaker 5: of huge names in that thirty five pound vision. We

829
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: talked to Sugar Shan O'Malley earlier today, so we'll see

830
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 5: what happens to he Ray. For me the fan and me,

831
00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 5: I want to see Mark Henry and Hacrdo Ale Mata

832
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 5: go head to head with Matt Sarah and Ray Longo,

833
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 5: Like I want all of that friction. I want all

834
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 5: of that uncomfortableness. Uh, just bring it all to the

835
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 5: surface and made the best team win. See, I want

836
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 5: to see it. I'm a fan, you know, two biggest.

837
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 6: Teams in the Northeast. Yeah. I hate to break the

838
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:37,600
Speaker 6: news to you, but there would definitely be no friction

839
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 6: at all. I mean, I guarantee you. I mean, I

840
00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 6: tell you, I'm going I'll tell you. I'm going to

841
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 6: tell you, you know a store, I'm going to cut

842
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 6: it like kindy short. But when that fight first went

843
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 6: down and al Joe I was driving in the Atlantic

844
00:37:50,320 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 6: City with Matt. Now, al Joe called me and I

845
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 6: put him on speaker phone and he told me. And

846
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 6: Matt originally said he wasn't working the corner. He goes,

847
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 6: I can't work the corner of that fight. Wow. And

848
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,759
Speaker 6: I go out, Joe, let me let me talk to

849
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 6: him for a little bit, you know what I mean.

850
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 6: But he he he's so close to Icado that his

851
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 6: his gut instinct on that was that he wasn't working

852
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 6: the corner, you know. And I think that changed, but

853
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 6: that was his reaction, you know. And then, uh, you know,

854
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 6: we kind of talked about it, and uh, you know,

855
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 6: I think I look Kado is an unbelievable person. Really,

856
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 6: what a what a sweet guy, and what a great

857
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 6: head he's got on his shoulder. And you know Mark's

858
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 6: a good guy. You know Marks, you know, more hyper

859
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,880
Speaker 6: and crazy, but just another great guy. So that I

860
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 6: guarantee you there's no friction. I mean, Aljiel Fort Marlin,

861
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:39,840
Speaker 6: you know that we didn't want to do. But uh,

862
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 6: you know, so it's we've we've already been there. That's

863
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 6: that was the point to Matt. This isn't the first time,

864
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 6: you know, we've been there. But Frankie is another dynamic

865
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 6: who doesn't love love Frankie edge, so that becomes another problem.

866
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 6: You know, Frankie's parry, you know, Frankie's old Man's a

867
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 6: good guy. Frankie's a great guy. So that stuff for us,

868
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 6: you know, you know, we don't look at it like, Okay,

869
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:03,840
Speaker 6: this is business and just do we have to do it?

870
00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:07,200
Speaker 6: Kind of sucks, but you know that's the position we're in,

871
00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 6: and we would do it, you know.

872
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 5: So no, and I think al Joel might have intimated

873
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,839
Speaker 5: that in a perfect world, just being that close by,

874
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,799
Speaker 5: he and Frankie would would train with each other and

875
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 5: make each other better. But hey, if they're going to

876
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 5: give you a legend, right and an opportunity like that,

877
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 5: you know, Sterling would be wise.

878
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 6: That's the that's the key to the that's the key

879
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,360
Speaker 6: to the story. Joel. Frankie is a fucking legend, and

880
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 6: just you know, I'm looking at him more like that.

881
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 6: Just for al Jo to have the opportunity to fight

882
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 6: a guy like Frankie, no matter you know, no matter

883
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 6: where he is in his career, is a huge thing,

884
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 6: you know. So on that level, it's it's great, you know,

885
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:46,320
Speaker 6: but we'll see what happens. I'm just finding that out

886
00:39:46,680 --> 00:39:48,280
Speaker 6: right now. So that's pretty funny.

887
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:53,520
Speaker 5: So, Ray, as we sit here on April twentieth, you know,

888
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 5: I haven't lost anybody in terms of a friend or

889
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:59,279
Speaker 5: a loved one to the coronavirus, but that is not

890
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 5: your reality.

891
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 8: You know.

892
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 5: Anyone in New York, and yourself specifically, I know, has

893
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 5: been touched by this in some way, shape or form,

894
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 5: and you've lost a few people. New York Post sports

895
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 5: photographer Anthony Casey. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. Yes,

896
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,319
Speaker 5: he passed away at forty eight years of age. I

897
00:40:16,360 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 5: know he was a huge supporter of yours, and I

898
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 5: know his passing hit you particularly hard, as it did

899
00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 5: many of our UFC family.

900
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:26,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, it becomes like surreal. He was a student of

901
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,960
Speaker 6: my partner in the fight promotions, lou Neglia, for years,

902
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 6: and I know Anthony's mother reached out to lou and

903
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:37,880
Speaker 6: asked if he could do a motivational video while he

904
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 6: was in the hospital, and lou did, and you know, unfortunately,

905
00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,080
Speaker 6: a couple of days after, you know, he passed away

906
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:50,040
Speaker 6: and obviously everybody was devastated. And I hadn't seen him

907
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,040
Speaker 6: in a while, but you know, I go back literally

908
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 6: twenty five years. I mean, because again he's if he's

909
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,280
Speaker 6: forty eight, he was a student to lose when he

910
00:40:57,480 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 6: was young, and it just it's, you know, and there's

911
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 6: been a couple of other students I talked to that

912
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 6: had a really rough time. They made it, but they

913
00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:12,240
Speaker 6: said the fatigue level was like insane, like they couldn't

914
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 6: These are guys that were in shape, they couldn't take

915
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 6: two or three steps without you know, gasping for air.

916
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 6: So Yan, it's it's in New York. It's just a

917
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:26,440
Speaker 6: crazy time. It really is. I think everybody's going through it.

918
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 6: But there's something I don't know. I think there's something different.

919
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 6: I think we're up to like fifteen thousand people something

920
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 6: like that, and that's you know, I don't know, it's

921
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 6: five times more than the World Trade Center and that

922
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 6: was devastating. So it's crazy. But yeah, getting back to

923
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 6: Anthony Corsey, I mean, the what I didn't realize was

924
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 6: the outpouring of love. I didn't realize he was that

925
00:41:49,480 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 6: well known and loved. I mean, but when I went

926
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:54,880
Speaker 6: to look at the comments, I was blown away. With

927
00:41:54,920 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 6: the UFC fighters and stuff like that. He had really

928
00:41:59,680 --> 00:42:01,520
Speaker 6: like I want to go, like, I remember when he

929
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:04,359
Speaker 6: started out, you know, like when he you know, when

930
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 6: he first had a camera and he's saying, that's how

931
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 6: long ago it goes back? So you know, time flies, man,

932
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 6: And that was that was That was a tough one, man.

933
00:42:13,400 --> 00:42:15,920
Speaker 6: But man, if you even go and look at Bruce

934
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 6: Beck when he did the tribute to him, I mean,

935
00:42:18,440 --> 00:42:21,000
Speaker 6: the guy just broke down crying. It was it was tough.

936
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:24,360
Speaker 6: So it was a great guy. And obviously he'll be

937
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,240
Speaker 6: missed by so many people. And you know, the first

938
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,920
Speaker 6: thing that hits me when I look at those things,

939
00:42:30,000 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 6: John is man. I hope this guy knew how much

940
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,520
Speaker 6: all these people loved them, you know, because I went

941
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,840
Speaker 6: through that with you know, the kid that committed suicide.

942
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:40,880
Speaker 6: The outpolling of love he got was crazy, and it

943
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 6: was like, I don't even know if he knew he

944
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 6: had this many people that gave a shit about him.

945
00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 6: So anyway, there's a sad story. But I think, you know,

946
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:54,799
Speaker 6: he left behind a great legacy because people made the

947
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 6: comments were just NonStop and they were beautiful. So thanks

948
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:00,600
Speaker 6: for bringing up down.

949
00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 5: So of course he took so many iconic images. Conor

950
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 5: McGregor among those coming out and sort of wishing Anthony

951
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,000
Speaker 5: kau Kusey and his family the best after his passing.

952
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,640
Speaker 5: But yeah, he posted something on Instagram like March twenty second,

953
00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 5: you know, if I get out and beat this thing,

954
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 5: you know, the world is in for it, or something

955
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,200
Speaker 5: to that effect, and just unfortunate that he was never

956
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 5: able to make it out. I just got a couple

957
00:43:25,080 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 5: more things with you, Ray. I want to read you

958
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 5: this quote and I'll get Kenny's take on this first

959
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 5: and then yours.

960
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 6: Ray.

961
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:33,720
Speaker 5: This is from Yoanna Young Jcheck from the South China

962
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 5: Morning Post. Thanks to bjpen dot com for transcribing this.

963
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 5: So this was Yanna Young jcheck flow. After her fight

964
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 5: again Sean way Lee last month, they did a small

965
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 5: medical procedure on my ear. I had a cat scan,

966
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:47,480
Speaker 5: I had an ultrasound, I had an X ray, And honestly,

967
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:50,080
Speaker 5: after a fight like this, I felt like every touch

968
00:43:50,440 --> 00:43:53,080
Speaker 5: from the doctors and nurses, everything was so painful. I

969
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 5: didn't want anybody to touch my body. And I felt

970
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,440
Speaker 5: like my heart was bleeding, like my soul was bleeding.

971
00:43:57,600 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 5: I always know that anything can happen in a fight,

972
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,560
Speaker 5: but I didn't expect to be that bruised and in

973
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,319
Speaker 5: so much pain. And I was going to lead the

974
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 5: show with this because she is just the ultimate warrior

975
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:11,000
Speaker 5: and of all the accolades and championships that have come

976
00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:13,480
Speaker 5: her way, the most decorated strawet champion of all time,

977
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 5: how about just the mental and physical toughness to just

978
00:44:17,120 --> 00:44:20,440
Speaker 5: walk through hell and not fade over twenty five minutes

979
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,160
Speaker 5: in what many believe was the fight of the year

980
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:22,680
Speaker 5: last month.

981
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 7: You know, listen, you look at that fight, You look

982
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 7: at that fight and how it transpired and the damage

983
00:44:29,000 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 7: that both women put on each other.

984
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:32,839
Speaker 8: I'm not surprised.

985
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 7: I'm surprised of Yo Wanna kind of being as honest

986
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 7: as she is usually kind of keeps that pretty close

987
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:42,719
Speaker 7: to the vest there, And I think that, you know,

988
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 7: it's an indication for all the fans out there that,

989
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 7: you know, fighters they do suffer.

990
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,120
Speaker 8: They suffer not only during the fight, but during the training.

991
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 7: And the mind and the heart of a fighter is

992
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 7: something that shouldn't be questioned, and you know, Yu Wanna

993
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:03,000
Speaker 7: has proven that before. But I think this is the

994
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 7: kind of fight that kind of defines her legacy in

995
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 7: a lot of ways. Win or lose, she will always

996
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,880
Speaker 7: have the respect of the fighters, that's for sure, and

997
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:15,399
Speaker 7: hopefully of the organization for what she's done. But that

998
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 7: fight alone really showed just how tough she is and that,

999
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 7: you know, fighters don't only deal with, you know, pain

1000
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,200
Speaker 7: and suffering that not.

1001
00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 8: Right, It happens over the course of a few days.

1002
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:28,799
Speaker 8: You know.

1003
00:45:28,800 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 7: I remember I couldn't feel my leg for like six

1004
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:32,600
Speaker 7: months after the hell They'll fight, you know, I like

1005
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 7: lost feeling in my leg. So there's things that fighters

1006
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 7: go through that people just don't understand. And you know,

1007
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 7: it's it's crazy that that that happened for you Wanna.

1008
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 7: I mean but you look at her face and the

1009
00:45:47,040 --> 00:45:49,240
Speaker 7: swelling that she had in her head and all those things.

1010
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 7: You know, I'm glad she's okay, but it's good to

1011
00:45:52,840 --> 00:45:53,920
Speaker 7: hear that honesty from her.

1012
00:45:53,960 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 6: Really, yeah, I couldn't look, there's nothing you could say.

1013
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:01,000
Speaker 6: I mean, if you want to be a fighter, that's

1014
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:03,600
Speaker 6: the fight you should look at first, because this is

1015
00:46:04,200 --> 00:46:07,799
Speaker 6: the potential of what could happen. And like again, that

1016
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:12,040
Speaker 6: is a really great case for it's really not about

1017
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 6: winning or losing. It's really about just doing the best

1018
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 6: you can. And there absolutely is no win or a

1019
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 6: loser in that fight. And again you're gonna get you

1020
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 6: know the guys. Well, she didn't get the winning paycheck,

1021
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 6: you know what, though, but the dignity and the character

1022
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 6: she displayed and the toughness, I think it's worth more

1023
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 6: than whatever that check could be. And I know that

1024
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,640
Speaker 6: might sound stupid, but I think at the end of

1025
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 6: the day, I mean, if she builds off of that,

1026
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,799
Speaker 6: she'll be way ahead. She can make that up. But

1027
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:44,440
Speaker 6: I mean just the mental fortitude that it took to

1028
00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:47,279
Speaker 6: get through that fight. Again, especially in hindsight when you

1029
00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 6: saw her even with the interview, and she's such a

1030
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 6: beautiful person inside. Now, it was tough because you feel

1031
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:57,279
Speaker 6: for and you know, the fight game, we get that,

1032
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:01,440
Speaker 6: but that's a really beautiful girl that you know, and

1033
00:47:01,520 --> 00:47:03,920
Speaker 6: you know women, you know, they you know, looks her,

1034
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 6: you know, could mean a lot. And her head was

1035
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 6: I mean, she was unrecognizable after that fight. So what

1036
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 6: great news to hear that she's okay and that uh yeah,

1037
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 6: you know, she's she's a she's a fighter, and fighters

1038
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:19,600
Speaker 6: express their feelings. They don't bullshit. You know, there's there's

1039
00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:22,239
Speaker 6: I always say, there's no bullshit in the act the

1040
00:47:22,320 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 6: guy and you know exactly who Joanna is after that fight,

1041
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:29,479
Speaker 6: there is absolutely no question about it. So I think

1042
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 6: when you look at it in terms of that, it's

1043
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:33,879
Speaker 6: it's a it's a great thing. I mean, I don't

1044
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:37,200
Speaker 6: think anybody could ever say a negative word about her.

1045
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:39,600
Speaker 6: I mean I think she proved exactly who she is,

1046
00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 6: and she walked through hell to get to the end

1047
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 6: of that fight. And again I think, you know, just

1048
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 6: seeing that fight and then going to the other fight,

1049
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,680
Speaker 6: you know, which I got criticized or should for you know, Uh,

1050
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 6: that's part of the reason is that we just looked

1051
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,880
Speaker 6: at a display of people going for it, you know,

1052
00:47:57,920 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 6: at any cost, right, and you know that's that's what

1053
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 6: fighting is, man. You got to put it on the line.

1054
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,920
Speaker 6: And these people do suffer. I mean, it's you know,

1055
00:48:06,960 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 6: it's one thing to be in there and you know,

1056
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,359
Speaker 6: you know, you take a couple of shots and you're

1057
00:48:11,400 --> 00:48:13,279
Speaker 6: able to give a couple of shots, and you know,

1058
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 6: you feel good about that. But when you're after the fact,

1059
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,760
Speaker 6: two months later, when you're still feeling lumps on your head,

1060
00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 6: you know your min could play tricks on your toe.

1061
00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 6: It's it. You have to be meant toly very very

1062
00:48:25,719 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 6: strong to go through all of that stuff.

1063
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 5: You know, seven weeks or so later, still has the

1064
00:48:30,600 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 5: facial bruising. All right, Ray Longo, Hey, thanks buddy. Hey,

Speaker 6: hundred and seventy five thousand requested shirts, so I think.

1073
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:57,160

00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 5: All right, it's the moment everybody has been waiting for

1133
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:41,840
Speaker 5: as we get to a right now Pound for Pound tournament.

1134
00:51:41,880 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 5: Ian Parker now joins US Live. So last week we

1135
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,000
Speaker 5: announced that we were doing this right now pound for

1136
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 5: Pound tournament. We gave our listeners and our viewers the

1137
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:52,960
Speaker 5: chance to vote on the sixteen seed, so the final

1138
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:56,680
Speaker 5: four were Leon Edwards, Paolo Costa, Colby Covington and Francis

1139
00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 5: in Ganu. Fans were able to voice their opinions on

1140
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 5: our hotline eight five seven three oh one eighty nine

1141
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:04,480
Speaker 5: ninety four. You were also able to vote on Twitter

1142
00:52:04,680 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 5: and on YouTube TJ. I believe we have a voicemail

1143
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 5: or two. Let's hear from at least one of the

1144
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 5: listeners on who he thought should have won that coveted

1145
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:14,239
Speaker 5: sixteen seed.

1146
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:18,160
Speaker 9: I gotta go with my main man punching a hole

1147
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:24,960
Speaker 9: and everybody's fucking chest and face. Francis Sagana.

1148
00:52:25,880 --> 00:52:27,719
Speaker 5: I feel like I have to tell those calling the

1149
00:52:27,800 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 5: voicemail line to like leave their name, their age, and

1150
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 5: where they're calling from. At least tell me where you're

1151
00:52:32,640 --> 00:52:35,800
Speaker 5: calling from. Uh eight five seven three oh one eighty

1152
00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:38,360
Speaker 5: nine ninety four. We're gonna lean on that voicemail line

1153
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,600
Speaker 5: throughout the time. We do this right now. Pound for

1154
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 5: pound tournament that hopefully will end just before the UFC

1155
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 5: resumes its schedule, hopefully on May ninth. All right, so

1156
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 5: ken Flow, we'll start with you. Overall aggregate roughly four

1157
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,840
Speaker 5: thousand votes across all polls coming in forth with eleven

1158
00:52:53,840 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 5: percent of the vote. Leon Rocky Edwards third sixteen percent

1159
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 5: of the vote was Poweloa Pasta. The runner up was

1160
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 5: Cold Covington with thirty one percent of the popular vote,

1161
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 5: and the sixteen seed goes to the winner, not surprisingly,

1162
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 5: who will challenge the top seed? To John Jones in

1163
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:10,279
Speaker 5: round one of your tournament? Forty two percent of the

1164
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 5: vote to the predator Francis and.

1165
00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 7: Gun Interesting, you know, listen, I actually thought Paulo Costa

1166
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:20,239
Speaker 7: would would get the nod just because of the way

1167
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,359
Speaker 7: that he matches up and how well he's done, you know,

1168
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 7: in the UFC thus far his style, but it makes sense,

1169
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,920
Speaker 7: I mean, Francis and Gano, this guy could knock out

1170
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 7: a rhino, I mean. And as far as the first

1171
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 7: round matchup, how interesting is that, dude? I mean, And

1172
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,480
Speaker 7: that's a fight that could actually happen. So maybe we

1173
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,879
Speaker 7: will see this in the future. But I love being

1174
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 7: able to talk about these well.

1175
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,920
Speaker 5: And I think what's so interesting about our exercise is

1176
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 5: that these are matchups that we will be discussing. So

1177
00:53:48,560 --> 00:53:50,720
Speaker 5: it's easy to sit on a pedestal and say, George

1178
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 5: Saint Pierre is the best pound for pound fighter in

1179
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 5: the world, but how about if he has to get

1180
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 5: through a bracket of sixteen guys you know, how to

1181
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,920
Speaker 5: match up with certain guys at any given weight. Uh,

1182
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 5: in any surprise from you that Francis and Ghana is

1183
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,200
Speaker 5: the guy and locked up that sixteenth seed, and all

1184
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 5: right now pound for pound.

1185
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,000
Speaker 3: After really thinking about it, because I did say Francis

1186
00:54:11,040 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 3: as well, I actually thought Coby Covington possibly was gonna,

1187
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 3: you know, take it, because if you go to height

1188
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:18,760
Speaker 3: and wait and everyone's the same, it's hard to really

1189
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 3: get past his output and his cardio. Especially with his

1190
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,279
Speaker 3: style and a lot of guys in this he might

1191
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:27,319
Speaker 3: be able to, you know, surprise people with those wins,

1192
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 3: you know, like if he want to get some guy

1193
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 3: like Dominic Gray is the same weight, I would probably

1194
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 3: take Koby Covington there, you know.

1195
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:34,240
Speaker 15: So it's it's interesting.

1196
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 3: I think what people want to see though, is to

1197
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,319
Speaker 3: Kenny's point, and I think I mentioned this last week

1198
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:43,400
Speaker 3: is Francis versus John Jones could definitely happen in real life.

1199
00:54:43,440 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 3: So it's kind of like the reality of that is

1200
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,680
Speaker 3: pretty appetizing in this tournament.

1201
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,239
Speaker 5: So all right, so you can go to Anna floydanpodcast

1202
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,680
Speaker 5: dot com. Right now, I'm showing it on YouTube, but

1203
00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,320
Speaker 5: there's the bracket. You can fill out a bracket, and basically,

1204
00:54:55,360 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 5: by the end of this thing, our fan base, our

1205
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:00,359
Speaker 5: listener base, is going to determine who they believe right

1206
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 5: now in twenty twenty is the most skilled and best

1207
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 5: UFC fighter. So I filled out my bracket today, and

1208
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 5: I'm not really gonna divulge the answers necessarily as much

1209
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:13,360
Speaker 5: as we are going to talk through some of these matchups,

1210
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 5: but it really is an interesting exercise to see who

1211
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 5: emerges right and what type of matchups are out there.

1212
00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 5: But let us start, and we're gonna name these quadrants, right,

1213
00:55:22,600 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 5: So if you're looking at your bracket, and again we're

1214
00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 5: not gonna go too long on each bracket here, but basically,

1215
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 5: if you're looking at your bracket, Johnny Bones is the

1216
00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:33,560
Speaker 5: top seed number one, top left, that is the Anni quadrant.

1217
00:55:33,680 --> 00:55:35,719
Speaker 5: If you move down the steep A bracket, that is

1218
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 5: the Longo quadrant. Right across, Team Kabib is at the

1219
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 5: top of the Floorian quadrant, and then Henry Sahuto is

1220
00:55:41,760 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 5: the top seed in the Parker quadrant. So we have

1221
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,720
Speaker 5: four different quadrants. We're gonna start with the Anti quadrant.

1222
00:55:46,719 --> 00:55:49,640
Speaker 5: We got Johnny Bones the top seed against sixteenth ranked

1223
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:52,759
Speaker 5: Francis and Ganu pound for pound skill for Skilly and

1224
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 5: what are your thoughts on the one sixteen matchup?

1225
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 3: Before I dive into that, I want to compliment Kenny

1226
00:55:58,920 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 3: on his attire today. Obviously chose the Ian Parker Halloween costume,

1227
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 3: so I find that could be pretty awesome. And hopefully

1228
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:08,400
Speaker 3: we could run a Ray Longo voicemail contest because I

1229
00:56:08,440 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 3: swear that sounded a little bit like Southern Ray. So

1230
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:14,680
Speaker 3: that was pretty cool for John Jones and France and

1231
00:56:14,719 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 3: ghan You you know, here's how I kind of look

1232
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,560
Speaker 3: at this. I kind of see this fight going the

1233
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 3: way it went with Steve AA vers Francis. I think

1234
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 3: John Jones will have to get close in with Francis,

1235
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:28,239
Speaker 3: avoid that boxing game, use the leg kicks and put

1236
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 3: Ghana on his back and grind it out.

1237
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 15: And John has the wrestling to obviously do it.

1238
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:34,359
Speaker 3: I think this is where in this fight against DC

1239
00:56:34,480 --> 00:56:36,880
Speaker 3: the first time, where he surprised everyone with the takedowns.

1240
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 15: I see so as.

1241
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 3: Much as in Ghani's power is exciting, and at two

1242
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 3: oh five, you know, we're not seeing him against like

1243
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,360
Speaker 3: Henry so Hudo, so the whole height, weight thing isn't

1244
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,319
Speaker 3: too much of a dream situation. This, Like we said,

1245
00:56:49,360 --> 00:56:50,960
Speaker 3: we could really see this happening whether it was at

1246
00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 3: two oh five or heavyweight.

1247
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,160
Speaker 15: But I'm gonna still go with John Jones here.

1248
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:55,120
Speaker 9: You know.

1249
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,200
Speaker 3: I just think his wrestling is the difference maker, so

1250
00:56:58,239 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 3: that that's where I would kind of put two cents

1251
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,200
Speaker 3: in with that fight, all right.

1252
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,440
Speaker 5: The other fight in the aniquadrant Alex Volkanovsky, the eight

1253
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 5: seed taken on ninth rank Connor McGregor. Volkanovsky just entering

1254
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 5: his title reign at one hundred and forty five pounds.

1255
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:13,719
Speaker 5: Connor McGregor is still very much I think in his

1256
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 5: fighting time. This is one of the more difficult matchups

1257
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:20,160
Speaker 5: Kenny eight versus nine. Any thoughts on Volco and Connor

1258
00:57:20,240 --> 00:57:21,040
Speaker 5: in round one?

1259
00:57:21,520 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 8: You know, I really love this matchup.

1260
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 7: I think Volkanovski would be tough for the first couple rounds.

1261
00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,200
Speaker 7: I don't think he'd be able to hit that takedown

1262
00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:34,400
Speaker 7: or consistently enough anyway against Connor. I think Connor at

1263
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:36,040
Speaker 7: the very least would find a way to get back

1264
00:57:36,040 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 7: to his feet. I think that pressure style of Volkanofsky,

1265
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 7: which I feel he would try to play against Connor

1266
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:46,320
Speaker 7: would lead him into at least a couple left hands.

1267
00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:49,720
Speaker 7: And I think Connor, when he's on his game, man,

1268
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,440
Speaker 7: he is so sharp with his striking. And again this

1269
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 7: is under the assumption that both these guys are same height,

1270
00:57:55,120 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 7: same weight, all that stuff, you know. I think Connor

1271
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,600
Speaker 7: takes that one based on Hiss, based on the fact

1272
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,040
Speaker 7: that he's fought other guys that are similar to Volkanofski,

1273
00:58:04,160 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 7: like in Mendez, and obviously it doesn't get any worse

1274
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,680
Speaker 7: than Habib. And I think Connor is really motivated by

1275
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 7: that loss against Habib. But I think he's been working

1276
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:15,120
Speaker 7: a lot on his grappling and I think he's gonna

1277
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,480
Speaker 7: come back a much sharper striker. I think he could

1278
00:58:17,480 --> 00:58:20,560
Speaker 7: beat Bolkanovski. I take Connor in that first round, all right.

1279
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 5: Moving on down to the long Ago Region steep A

1280
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 5: Miachicht number four seed taken on thirteenth seeded Tyron Woodley

1281
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 5: Ian Parker. What do you think about Woodley's potential to

1282
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 5: spring the upset there in round one?

1283
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:38,600
Speaker 3: Oh man, I don't think he gets it done. I

1284
00:58:38,600 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 3: think similar styles even though they're in different weight classes.

1285
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: Steve Ba's a very good wrestler. You know, I think

1286
00:58:43,520 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 3: Tyron really likes to rely on his He's become a

1287
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:47,000
Speaker 3: guy that's relied on his power punching.

1288
00:58:47,240 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 6: You know.

1289
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 3: I think if you were to have to win this fight,

1290
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 3: you'd have to work the leg kicks, which he's got

1291
00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 3: really strong leg kicks.

1292
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 15: But we've seen.

1293
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 3: Tyron kind of get away from that a little bit.

1294
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 3: He's really relied on his hands. And in a boxing

1295
00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 3: match against Steeve b Ay, I think Steve ba is

1296
00:58:59,200 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 3: the more technical his power.

1297
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 15: You know, again, at the same.

1298
00:59:03,160 --> 00:59:05,560
Speaker 3: Height, seam weight, I don't know if he's able to

1299
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,800
Speaker 3: get Steve a down And in that situation, I would

1300
00:59:08,080 --> 00:59:10,080
Speaker 3: put the favor in Steevee's hands, and that's where I

1301
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 3: would go with that fight, all right.

1302
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,160
Speaker 5: The five to twelve matchup in the NCAA Basketball tournament,

1303
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:18,400
Speaker 5: obviously you get a lot of upseats, his upseed upsets historically. Fuck,

1304
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 5: I'm glad we're not really on the air now. The

1305
00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 5: seed Style Bender. I think a lot of people are

1306
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 5: gonna have Style Bender as the last man standing, by

1307
00:59:25,280 --> 00:59:27,360
Speaker 5: the way, but his first round matchup can Flow is

1308
00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 5: against the twelve seed Dustin Pourier.

1309
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,160
Speaker 8: Oh man, what a matchup. Huh.

1310
00:59:32,200 --> 00:59:35,720
Speaker 7: I mean, Dustin is so well rounded, he's so good everywhere,

1311
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:39,760
Speaker 7: but he's got to get through is he who is

1312
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,080
Speaker 7: just another class of striker man? And I think while

1313
00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,400
Speaker 7: Dustin is a solid grappler, I don't know if he's

1314
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 7: got the takedown game to be able to get in

1315
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:53,320
Speaker 7: that range and take is he down consistently? Is he

1316
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,320
Speaker 7: is so good at avoiding the wrestling just by keeping

1317
00:59:56,360 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 7: the proper range with his jab, with his long range weapon,

1318
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 7: that of course his footwork. I like Izzy in that one,

1319
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 7: you know, against Dustin port All right, now we move

1320
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,080
Speaker 7: across the bracket.

1321
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 5: So top right, this is the Team Fluorian quadrant. The

1322
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:17,960
Speaker 5: top seed in the Florian region Betan Rmago met off

1323
01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 5: the two seed taken on fifteenth seeded Dominic reyis so ian.

1324
01:00:21,920 --> 01:00:24,280
Speaker 5: What I did this morning is I basically came up

1325
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 5: with my criteria because I filled out the whole bracket right,

1326
01:00:27,480 --> 01:00:30,240
Speaker 5: So whenever I had a matchup that I could not

1327
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,000
Speaker 5: determine a winner in, I did it analytically and numerically right.

1328
01:00:34,080 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 5: So here were the eight categories striking, wrestling, grappling, finishing ability,

1329
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,360
Speaker 5: fight IQ, winning percentage, current form, which I think is

1330
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 5: big and then intangibles, which could be championship experience, family, life,

1331
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 5: health right now outside the octagon stuff, and then you

1332
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:54,480
Speaker 5: could also do head to head wins right Holloway Pourier

1333
01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 5: as a tertiary condition. But whenever I had a really

1334
01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,560
Speaker 5: tough matchup, I gave everybody at number one through ten

1335
01:01:00,600 --> 01:01:03,120
Speaker 5: in those eighth categories and just determined who had the

1336
01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 5: higher number, And that was how I chose to attack it.

1337
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 5: You know, Dominic rays Kenny could be undefeated right now,

1338
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 5: right and then all of a sudden, his overall winning

1339
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,880
Speaker 5: percentage is one hundred percent good finishing ability, and then

1340
01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 5: I think this matchup might be different, Kabebe. Obviously, Ian's

1341
01:01:19,200 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 5: going to be pretty tough to dethrone. Here two versus

1342
01:01:21,880 --> 01:01:23,400
Speaker 5: fifteen Ian, who do you have?

1343
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 3: John, I think you're like the dominant cruise of Fantasy MMA.

1344
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:32,720
Speaker 15: Matchups or your preparation. That was how else didn't do

1345
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 15: any of that?

1346
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 5: Well, I didn't know if I had a close matchup,

1347
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 5: I couldn't figure out. I think I had a fight.

1348
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 5: I'm not even gonna spoil it, but I had a

1349
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 5: fight in the semi finals, and I couldn't determine who

1350
01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:43,920
Speaker 5: would win it. So I had to do it that

1351
01:01:43,960 --> 01:01:45,000
Speaker 5: way anyway as you were.

1352
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 8: No, no, no, no.

1353
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 3: I like the way you kind of broke that down

1354
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 3: because there were someones that I'm having trouble with. I

1355
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,280
Speaker 3: didn't even completely do the whole bracket. I'm stuck at

1356
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:54,040
Speaker 3: the semi finals, and I think the way you just

1357
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:56,520
Speaker 3: positioned that, I mean, except for family life, I don't

1358
01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 3: know everyone's personal.

1359
01:01:57,840 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 6: You know.

1360
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 3: If it was Darren till On here, we know he

1361
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 3: jerks off ten times a day, so I would choose

1362
01:02:01,320 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 3: him to win the whole thing because.

1363
01:02:02,560 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 15: He's obviously the most fucking relaxed.

1364
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 3: But in this situation with Habib and dominic Reyes, you know, again,

1365
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 3: to your point, it goes by the experience, the finishing rate.

1366
01:02:13,120 --> 01:02:16,360
Speaker 15: I just don't see anyone right now in the world.

1367
01:02:16,120 --> 01:02:18,919
Speaker 3: Beating Hamib in regards to just like if he takes

1368
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,200
Speaker 3: we haven't seen Dominic rey Is on his back and

1369
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 3: smothered the way someone like Kbib would do it, you know.

1370
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 3: But to Kenny's point, and this still sticks with me,

1371
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:28,680
Speaker 3: we haven't seen Kabib get punched in the face so

1372
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 3: hard more than once that we don't know how he

1373
01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 3: would come back from that. If he got hit from

1374
01:02:32,520 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 3: Dominic Reyes. I'm trying to not think of him as

1375
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 3: a light heavyweight, but that we don't know how he

1376
01:02:36,880 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 3: bounces back, but we do know that he would definitely

1377
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 3: grab onto a single leg, drag him to the floor,

1378
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 3: and ball him like a fucking bear. So because of that,

1379
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 3: I'm still gonna stick with Kabib. You know, I love Dominic.

1380
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:47,560
Speaker 15: In this position.

1381
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 3: I think he's got the hands of surprise people, but

1382
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 3: we all know how it could be pressures, and I

1383
01:02:51,400 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 3: think it's too much for most people.

1384
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:54,439
Speaker 15: So I'm still gonna go with the rating champ.

1385
01:02:54,720 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 5: All right, can't flow? Next dream matchup in your region

1386
01:02:57,720 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 5: is the hardest fight for me in round one, I

1387
01:02:59,800 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 5: think Kamara Usman the seventh seed taken on ten seed

1388
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 5: to Tony Ferguson, not out of the realm of possibility

1389
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 5: that this matchup could conceivably happen. But that's actually one

1390
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 5: place on my bracket that is just empty. I was

1391
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,640
Speaker 5: not willing to pick a winner between tomorrow and El Kukui.

1392
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 7: I'm just trying to get over the shivers of imagining

1393
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,760
Speaker 7: Habib at two hundred and five pounds. Okay, so this

1394
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 7: is this is the upset upset side of the bracket,

1395
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:27,840
Speaker 7: you know for me, because Usman is a handful for

1396
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 7: anyone at any weight class. He's an absolute beast, very

1397
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,920
Speaker 7: similar to a Habib Narmaga Medov. But Tony Ferguson is

1398
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 7: a different type of animal. This is a guy with

1399
01:03:37,320 --> 01:03:41,840
Speaker 7: so much experience, and I think you know, Usman has

1400
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,840
Speaker 7: a great strategy for most of his fights, right he

1401
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 7: puts pressure on you.

1402
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:47,439
Speaker 8: He tires guys out.

1403
01:03:47,760 --> 01:03:50,760
Speaker 7: I just don't see that happening against someone like Tony Ferguson.

1404
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:53,200
Speaker 7: I don't see Tony Ferguson getting tired. This is a

1405
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 7: guy who has a wrestling background, perhaps not at the

1406
01:03:56,120 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 7: level of a of a Uzman, but he does have

1407
01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:00,920
Speaker 7: a good wrestling background, and not only that, he has

1408
01:04:00,920 --> 01:04:03,920
Speaker 7: a very good submission game in the transition where he

1409
01:04:03,960 --> 01:04:07,600
Speaker 7: can throw Uzman off a lot. Not to mention, he

1410
01:04:07,720 --> 01:04:09,480
Speaker 7: likes to pressure guys, so I would like to see

1411
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:12,400
Speaker 7: how Uzman responds to someone who tries to pressure him.

1412
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:16,439
Speaker 7: Switching up those stances is very confusing. Tony Ferguson tends

1413
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 7: to do that, and again, he is a very dangerous

1414
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 7: submission game when it comes to, you know, to really

1415
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:26,400
Speaker 7: exchanging in the transition. So I like Tony Ferguson for

1416
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 7: the upset. The one hundred and fifty five pound division, again,

1417
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,320
Speaker 7: for me, is the toughest division in the whole UFC.

1418
01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:36,680
Speaker 7: I like Tony to get that win over Uzman, and

1419
01:04:36,880 --> 01:04:40,680
Speaker 7: I think very highly of Uzman, but I think Tony wins.

1420
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 5: That one incredible. And again you can get involved. Fill

1421
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 5: out your own bracket right now, Anna florianpodcast dot Com.

1422
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:49,000
Speaker 5: Full results in about a month. And that brings us

1423
01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:52,280
Speaker 5: to the fourth and final quadrant, the Parker Region. How

1424
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 5: about that? He and you got your own region, and

1425
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 5: the top seed is Henry Sahudo the three seed taking

1426
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,360
Speaker 5: on fourteen seeded Robert Whitaker. And again this is where

1427
01:04:59,400 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 5: health and activity might come into play. I mean, neither

1428
01:05:02,320 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 5: guy has been super active over the last twelve or

1429
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:07,800
Speaker 5: eighteen months or so. But had we done this exercise

1430
01:05:08,080 --> 01:05:11,640
Speaker 5: a year ago, I think Whittaker not only would he

1431
01:05:11,680 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 5: be higher in terms of his seating, but I think

1432
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 5: a lot more people might pick him in this matchup

1433
01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 5: with Shudo. How'd you have the three to fourteen matchup

1434
01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:19,360
Speaker 5: going in.

1435
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,160
Speaker 15: Well, we'll have to change that provo.

1436
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 3: Same height, same weight, same terrible health I think you

1437
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 3: know what again going this, Kenny.

1438
01:05:28,960 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 15: I give you a lot of credit.

1439
01:05:29,840 --> 01:05:30,000
Speaker 9: Man.

1440
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:31,480
Speaker 15: You really made me think because I.

1441
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 3: Tried to get out of my brain the size differential

1442
01:05:33,960 --> 01:05:34,640
Speaker 3: and the power.

1443
01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 8: But if you were to.

1444
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 3: Put these guys in the same weight, I kind of

1445
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 3: like Bobby Knuckles here.

1446
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 9: You know.

1447
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,920
Speaker 3: I don't think Henry takes punches all too well. And

1448
01:05:41,960 --> 01:05:44,479
Speaker 3: if someone doesn't tire out, you know, if Marlon were Rice,

1449
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:46,160
Speaker 3: and I'll leave Kenny to do that in pression because

1450
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,880
Speaker 3: it's fucking fantastic. You know, if if Marlon didn't get

1451
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 3: tired in that fight, he I mean, he was killing

1452
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,200
Speaker 3: Henry in that round one. And I know his coach

1453
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,360
Speaker 3: is very active on our social media page, so I'm

1454
01:05:57,400 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 3: sure he's not gonna be a fan of the duck.

1455
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 3: But don't worry Eric, Sorry about that. Don't worry Eric.

1456
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 3: Kenny doesn't follow me either. I think that Bobby Knuckles

1457
01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:07,800
Speaker 3: will be able to prevent the takedown. I don't think

1458
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:09,400
Speaker 3: Henry is going to get him down so easy. And

1459
01:06:09,400 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 3: if it's a stand up fight, I think Winnaker's got

1460
01:06:11,760 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 3: the better hands.

1461
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:14,439
Speaker 15: I think he has the better power, and we've seen

1462
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:15,720
Speaker 15: him go five rounds and you know who.

1463
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:17,840
Speaker 3: We saw him wrestle again to do very well twice,

1464
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 3: Joel Romero, who is one of the most explosive wrestlers

1465
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:22,840
Speaker 3: in the history of m m A and the history

1466
01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 3: of wrestling ever. And if you could beat a guy

1467
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:27,439
Speaker 3: like that twice, who's an absolute fucking psychopath, he could

1468
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,440
Speaker 3: beat the King of Cringe. So my upset in the

1469
01:06:29,480 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 3: Duck quadrant Robbie Whittaker over Triple C.

1470
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:38,320
Speaker 5: Finally one matchup. Ken seems a little bit surprised by the.

1471
01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 4: No he was gonna do.

1472
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:40,439
Speaker 15: Marlin Moras.

1473
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 3: I respector Hobota Cook, but you fucking crazy?

1474
01:06:48,920 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 15: Was that?

1475
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 5: Adam right now?

1476
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:53,560
Speaker 6: Ken?

1477
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:59,080
Speaker 3: Still he had to lean back, he had to leave

1478
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 3: that releases no a little bit to get that high.

1479
01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 7: Oh my gosh, Well, listen, that's interesting.

1480
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 8: You know, that's definite an upset I have so Hudo

1481
01:07:08,440 --> 01:07:10,720
Speaker 8: went in that. But okay, that's fine. I like it.

1482
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 8: I like it all right on.

1483
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:16,000
Speaker 7: This fight between Daniel Cormier and Max and Max Holloway

1484
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 7: is amazing for a few different reasons. Obviously, just the matchup,

1485
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 7: you know, is tremendous. You look at Halloway and how

1486
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:24,480
Speaker 7: well he's done it. At one hundred and forty five

1487
01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 7: pounds and obviously d C mma that they're they're friends,

1488
01:07:28,640 --> 01:07:32,480
Speaker 7: and you know, he's been a champion in two different divisions. Now,

1489
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 7: Halloway has faced some really tough competition in his day,

1490
01:07:37,880 --> 01:07:41,960
Speaker 7: but he hasn't faced an Olympic level wrestler like Daniel

1491
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:44,800
Speaker 7: Cormier and all the experience that he brings into the octagon.

1492
01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:48,200
Speaker 7: So yeah, striking wise, if d C stands up with

1493
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 7: Halloway for twenty five minutes, I think, you know, he

1494
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:52,560
Speaker 7: probably has the power edge for sure.

1495
01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 8: But Halloway is just so talented on the feet.

1496
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,920
Speaker 7: I think he can move and kind of out point

1497
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,200
Speaker 7: d C on the feet by I think Cormier would

1498
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 7: switch things up, utilizes wrestling, utilizes grounded pound and tie

1499
01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:09,040
Speaker 7: route Holloway. I like Cormier to win that one again

1500
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 7: to Max Man.

1501
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 5: And that is the number six seeded Daniel Cormier taking

1502
01:08:13,320 --> 01:08:16,639
Speaker 5: on the eleven seed Max Holloway, and as luck would

1503
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 5: have it, they end up matching up in the first round,

1504
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,599
Speaker 5: which is just absolutely hilarious. I was going upset special

1505
01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:23,840
Speaker 5: on anybody who DC was playing in round one, just

1506
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 5: to try to get out o heres a little bit.

1507
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 5: So we'll see if Holloway and Cormier, if it registers

1508
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 5: on their radar, that they are indeed matched up in

1509
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 5: round one of our right now pound for pound tournaments.

1510
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 5: So again Anti floydpodcast dot com And basically you can

1511
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,599
Speaker 5: fill out your entire bracket right now.

1512
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 8: There will be.

1513
01:08:38,160 --> 01:08:40,439
Speaker 5: Polls on Twitter and YouTube, and when we sit here

1514
01:08:40,439 --> 01:08:42,640
Speaker 5: and reconvene a week from now, we'll be down to

1515
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,559
Speaker 5: our Elite eight and we will talk about the new

1516
01:08:44,600 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 5: matchups and see what the discrepancies were just in terms

1517
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 5: of the fan vote in these opening round matchups. All right,

1518
01:08:51,880 --> 01:08:53,640
Speaker 5: Ian Parker, we will get you out of here on this.

1519
01:08:53,880 --> 01:08:57,400
Speaker 5: Tony Ferguson made the decision to make weight. He made

1520
01:08:57,439 --> 01:09:01,120
Speaker 5: one hundred and fifty five pounds last Friday. You're shaking

1521
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:03,799
Speaker 5: your head, as are many of the MMA masses.

1522
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:04,000
Speaker 9: You know.

1523
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:06,400
Speaker 5: I don't take any issue with it. Far be it

1524
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 5: from me to criticize or question anything that Tony Ferguson

1525
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:12,160
Speaker 5: does from a preparation standpoint. I know on the surface

1526
01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:15,240
Speaker 5: it would appear bizarre, especially when he's fighting a guy

1527
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 5: in Justin Gaetgee in a few weeks theoretically, who does

1528
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:20,280
Speaker 5: not cut a lot of weight. Your thoughts on the

1529
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,320
Speaker 5: practice weightcut for ferguson three weeks before he'll do it

1530
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:23,639
Speaker 5: for real.

1531
01:09:24,560 --> 01:09:26,840
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm not shaking my head in judgment. I'm shaking

1532
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 3: my head as the guy's an absolute savage, wonder you, savage, wonder, legend, icon,

1533
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call him.

1534
01:09:33,800 --> 01:09:34,679
Speaker 15: Listen, he went out.

1535
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,160
Speaker 3: To prove a point that no matter who they put

1536
01:09:36,200 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 3: in front of him, no matter.

1537
01:09:37,120 --> 01:09:39,920
Speaker 15: What time, where, what island, what planet, he was going

1538
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:40,679
Speaker 15: to follow through.

1539
01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 3: And you know, I don't is it crazy that he

1540
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:45,720
Speaker 3: put his body.

1541
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 15: Through that when he didn't really have to.

1542
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:48,639
Speaker 3: Yes, we'll make the weight cut a little bit easier

1543
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 3: if in three weeks this does happen on May ninth,

1544
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 3: Probably a little bit. I mean, I'm sure he's going to,

1545
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 3: you know, blow it up. I'm sure, Kenny, what any

1546
01:09:55,560 --> 01:09:57,400
Speaker 3: think ten to eleven pounds had to have been water

1547
01:09:57,680 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 3: to an extent, pending on how hard he really went.

1548
01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:01,680
Speaker 3: But uh, you know what, I give him a lot

1549
01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 3: of credit. He's a real professional, you know, and I

1550
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: think that's kind of.

1551
01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 15: Where he was going with this. He's a real champ.

1552
01:10:06,439 --> 01:10:08,559
Speaker 3: I hope one day he gets the undisputed title, because

1553
01:10:08,560 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 3: if anyone fucking deserves it at this point, it really

1554
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:14,120
Speaker 3: is him. You know, no questions asked that that just

1555
01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 3: engageing fight doesn't do anything for him, you know, if

1556
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 3: you really want to break it down, if he wins

1557
01:10:18,360 --> 01:10:21,959
Speaker 3: by finish, yes, he's even more of an insane individual

1558
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:23,720
Speaker 3: that we already think he is. And then he just

1559
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 3: goes right back to fighting for me probably anyway, you know,

1560
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:28,720
Speaker 3: so I just give him all the credit in the world.

1561
01:10:28,880 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 3: Not many guys would do what he's doing and make

1562
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 3: the weight on a non existent fight, So kudos to Tony.

1563
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 15: Honestly, I hope this guy gets a belt at some point.

1564
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:37,960
Speaker 6: He's the man.

1565
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 5: All right, Ian Parker, good stuff today. I know you'd

1566
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 5: rather be picking fights, but in lieu of that the

1567
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 5: right now Pound for Pounds tournament is live. We appreciate

1568
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,479
Speaker 5: your contributions and we will see your handsome face next Monday.

1569
01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,439
Speaker 15: Thank you, buddy, Thanks man, appreciate that.

1570
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 5: Just looking good today in park We gotta we got

1571
01:10:54,880 --> 01:10:56,160
Speaker 5: to bounce on out of here. You know, I've been

1572
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 5: watching these may Rocky BJJ jiu jitsu tutorials and I'm

1573
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:03,720
Speaker 5: getting better. It's just there's so many steps, right, and

1574
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:05,840
Speaker 5: I think that was when I took a few jiu

1575
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 5: jitsu lessons back in the day. You know, Kimora sweep

1576
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,559
Speaker 5: And if you keep forgetting a post, dude, you keep

1577
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 5: forgetting to fuck the post. Say I'm a bust to

1578
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 5: fucking post and walk out of here and never come

1579
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 5: back home. But there are so many steps. Even when

1580
01:11:17,160 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 5: you're teaching something so simple, you make it look so easy,

1581
01:11:20,920 --> 01:11:22,800
Speaker 5: and you certainly have a way with words and a

1582
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 5: way with students, I'm sure, but it just it's I

1583
01:11:27,479 --> 01:11:29,600
Speaker 5: feel like, for me, it's just hard because there's so

1584
01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:33,439
Speaker 5: many intricacies, even when I'm watching a very well done tutorial.

1585
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:36,040
Speaker 8: Yeah now, thank you. Yeah, no, it is, it really is.

1586
01:11:36,920 --> 01:11:38,840
Speaker 7: I think that's what I've been trying to work on

1587
01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 7: for a while, is trying to boil it down to

1588
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:43,759
Speaker 7: its essence and trying to make it as simple as possible,

1589
01:11:43,800 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 7: because there really is a lot going on when you're grappling,

1590
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 7: and the key is, you know, trying to communicate those

1591
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 7: things as clearly as possible. We've been doing a lot

1592
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 7: of tutorials and classes online on Zoom for our students

1593
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 7: who have been, you know, supporting us during this tough time,

1594
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,720
Speaker 7: and I think that's what a lot of the jiu

1595
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:02,120
Speaker 7: jitsu gyms are doing or should be doing to try

1596
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 7: to give back to their students, and it's been a

1597
01:12:04,840 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 7: challenge for all the gyms out there, and I hope

1598
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 7: everyone who who's out there struggling, uh, you know, I

1599
01:12:10,320 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 7: hope the students who are part of other gyms are

1600
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,120
Speaker 7: continuing to support them if you can. Of course, it's

1601
01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 7: tough for everybody, and I hope a lot of the

1602
01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 7: gyms make it out of this, but I'm not so

1603
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 7: sure about some of them. You know, it is going

1604
01:12:23,760 --> 01:12:26,080
Speaker 7: to be a challenge, and especially you know, with with

1605
01:12:26,160 --> 01:12:28,080
Speaker 7: this round of funding that just ended. They said the

1606
01:12:28,560 --> 01:12:31,519
Speaker 7: PPP plan put out by the SBA and the government,

1607
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,519
Speaker 7: kind of the funds were depleted. So it just gets

1608
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 7: a little bit more difficult and challenging for people. But

1609
01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 7: hopefully there's another round and gyms are able to get

1610
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:42,599
Speaker 7: that support.

1611
01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:43,120
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1612
01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 5: Oh, small business owners that I know in my life

1613
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:48,519
Speaker 5: missed out on that first round of funding and put

1614
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 5: the pretty big hole. So yeah, it's interesting to me.

1615
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 5: The jiu jitsu stuff is always fascinating for me. I

1616
01:12:53,880 --> 01:12:56,160
Speaker 5: wonder how much note taking people do early on in

1617
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:59,719
Speaker 5: their jiu jitsu careers. To try to sort of not

1618
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:02,160
Speaker 5: not to you're committing steps to memory. I understand there's

1619
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,400
Speaker 5: some instincts involved, but I mean, was that something you

1620
01:13:04,439 --> 01:13:05,519
Speaker 5: ever did early on?

1621
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 8: Absolutely, it's it's huge. It was huge for me.

1622
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 7: It's something I still do, you know, So I always

1623
01:13:12,400 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 7: try to put notes on my phone or journal. I

1624
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 7: have a whole jiu jitsu journal. I have a series

1625
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 7: of jiu jitsu journals that I write in. And you know,

1626
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 7: I think something magical happens when you put pen to

1627
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 7: paper too. I think it's a better way of remembering it.

1628
01:13:25,040 --> 01:13:29,400
Speaker 7: And yeah, so it's something I do. I definitely recommend

1629
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 7: to people to do the same thing, taking notes on

1630
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,320
Speaker 7: on on how your journey is progressing, how you're doing,

1631
01:13:34,360 --> 01:13:37,439
Speaker 7: what kind of challenges you're experiencing, Write about that stuff,

1632
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:39,680
Speaker 7: you know, not only about the techniques and what you

1633
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 7: need to remember, but just the whole journey in and

1634
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 7: of itself. I think really helps you to become a

1635
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:46,400
Speaker 7: more mindful practitioner.

1636
01:13:47,280 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 5: Gotta get back in there, come on.

1637
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:53,559

1666
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:27,920
Speaker 1: seat in Congress by lying to voters, but is that

1667
01:15:28,000 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

1668
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: Jews in England, he go to jail for that. Here

1669
01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 1: in America, did he commit a hate crime? Listen to
