Speaker 1: San Antonio District judge resigns after a federal corruption probe.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: A former San Antonio, Texas judge goes to federal prison

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: after pleading guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for rigging

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: cases in his court. Angus McGuinty committed the ultimate judicial sin.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Why did you do it?

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: I did it because I was foolish.

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,960

00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 7: by the way back in twenty fifteen. It's about time

17
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 7: I apologize. He just laid out for me like the

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 7: kid dude that you are. But I apologize for stepping

19
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 7: on your dick there in twenty fifteen.

20
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 6: Listen, I was stepping on you, I believe, so I

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 6: had to get the hell out. Let Anik do his thing.

22
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 7: Well, it's great to have you with us. It's Monday,

23
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,680
Speaker 7: April fifth, twenty twenty one. It's episode like two ninety

24
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 7: five of the Anakin Florian podcast. This is actually the

25
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,759
Speaker 7: week though six year anniversary John Anak alongside PFL welterweight

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 7: Kenny Florian.

27
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: You're generous said this is that the weight class I

28
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: might be closer to middleweight.

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 6: Right now, kid?

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 7: Well, I mean I'm just saying what weight at which

31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 7: you would compete? Right?

32
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 6: Oh right, I'd like to lightweight.

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 7: I'll get down to fifty five. Yeah, anyone in that

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,559
Speaker 7: PFL lightweight division, by the way, can get it. Kemfo

35
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 7: was born in nineteen seventy six, but that is neither

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 7: here nor there. So Sadik Yusef, who competes in the

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 7: co mate have had on ABC this weekend, walks like

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 7: seventy five eighty one hundred and seventy five one hundred

39
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 7: and eighty pounds and he fights at featherweight. So those

40
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 7: who suggest I can't make thirty five, I'm walking like

41
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 7: fifty six fifty eight, Ken Flow, we can make.

42
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 6: No prob we could do that. We could do that

43
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:17,600
Speaker 6: all right.

44
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 7: So a lot to get to in headlines today because

45
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 7: the amount of news that has surfaced since we were

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 7: last on these airwaves. Is absolutely absurd. Again, Mixed Martial Arts,

47
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 7: the UFC the gift that keeps on giving. So we're

48
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 7: going to get into a lot of these fight announcements,

49
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,959
Speaker 7: will play the game who's the betting favorite? See where

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 7: Ken Flow falls on some of these massive, massive fights.

51
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 7: I mean it's one after another. Ray Longo coming up

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 7: in about twelve minutes. It appears as though he might

53
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 7: be going to join excuse me, Carolina Chris in the

54
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 7: Great State of South Carolina. So we'll get an update

55
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 7: from Ray Longo on that in about ten minutes. And

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 7: ABC for the second time for the UFC coming up

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 7: this weekend. So no fewer than seven predictions from Ken

58
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 7: Flow and Ian Parker in the main event challenge. But

59
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 7: Ken Flow, we begin with all of the headlines, and

60
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 7: I guess we'll start with the ABC show that is

61
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 7: no longer UFC Fight Night Till versus Viti, It is

62
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 7: now UFC Fight Night VITORI versus Holland. I guess if

63
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 7: any fight card could take a massive blow, it's this one.

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 7: That was pretty deep but a huge blow to the

65
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 7: ABC show in my mind. Nonetheless, losing one of the

66
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 7: top fifteen or so biggest superstars in the sport in

67
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 7: Darren Till.

68
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 6: I agree.

69
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 1: Also, you know, listen, we haven't seen Till in a

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: little while. I was looking forward to seeing him compete

71
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 1: and fight against Vittori, so.

72
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 6: That was unfortunate. Darren Till is a big name.

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: He has been representing the UK extremely well for a

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: long time now.

75
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 6: He's an exciting fighter to watch.

76
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I know he's been itching to get back in there,

77
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: and this injury just came out at a horrible spot.

78
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 7: So I think it's asking a lot for those who

79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 7: were pining for Derek Brunson to step in here. I

80
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 7: think you're talking about Marvin Vittori, number six in the world,

81
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 7: Derek Brunson number four in the world, and Brunson just

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 7: beat Kevin Holland in a twenty five minute main on

83
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 7: March twentieth, and of course Holland is the guy stepping up.

84
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 7: So I think for people that don't pay attention closely,

85
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 7: it's easy to say, well, is Brunson not stepping up?

86
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 7: But ken flow For a self respecting athlete like Derek Brunson, right,

87
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 7: who just had a main event win, he's trying to

88
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 7: become a UFC champion in his late thirties. I think

89
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 7: it's asking a whole lot for Brunson to just put

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 7: that win right back on the line he fought fifteen

91
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 7: days ago. Where's for Kevin Holland really a lot less

92
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 7: to lose given the fact that he lost that fight

93
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 7: two weeks ago.

94
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 6: Your thoughts listen.

95
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: Every once in a while, it may make sense to

96
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: take a fight on short notice. I think that the

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: more established you are, the higher ranked you are. For

98
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the most part, I think it's pretty much a terrible

99
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: idea to take a fight on short notice. Why each fight,

100
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: each fighter is a unique and different challenge. It's not

101
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: like everyone fights the same, everyone looks the same, everyone

102
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: has the same body. It doesn't really work that way,

103
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: especially when you're fighting other very good fighters. You can

104
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 1: get dropped down very quickly if you are not properly prepared.

105
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: Two weeks is not going to give you ample time.

106
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: Now for a guy like a Kevin Holland, who maybe

107
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: his motivation is more about staying active and just fighting

108
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,919
Speaker 1: and fulfilling that need to stay busy and just fight,

109
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 1: that might make sense. For a guy like Derek Brunson,

110
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: who's trying to climb back up the rankings and is

111
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: looking for an eventual shot at the belt. It probably

112
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. You need to prepare properly for a

113
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: good fighter and a dangerous fighter like a Marvin Vittori

114
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: two weeks, right, or even really.

115
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 6: Less than that.

116
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 1: It's really you're preparing for one week and then you're

117
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: in in the fight city to get ready. So what

118
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: you're telling me, he's going to get what five six

119
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: days to training in and prepare for someone like Marvin's

120
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: It doesn't really make sense, right.

121
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,919
Speaker 7: And maybe if the situation was different and Marvin Vittori

122
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 7: was the guy who fell out and it's Darren Till

123
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 7: and it's a clear title eliminator where you know you're

124
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 7: fighting for a championship opportunity, then maybe Brunson would be

125
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 7: able to step in. But I agree with Brunson's decision

126
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 7: to lay out here, and good for Kevin Holland because

127
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 7: he can erase what was largely a listless performance on

128
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,719
Speaker 7: March twentieth. So that's your new main event. I know

129
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 7: Ken Flow is really excited about this main card. The

130
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 7: prelims on ABC, so plenty more of that coming up

131
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 7: in the main event challenge, but Ken Flow Nathan Diaz

132
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 7: is on the books. Nath Diaz has a fight. It

133
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 7: is May fifteenth, a is UFC two sixty two, and

134
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 7: historically it will be a five round co main event

135
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 7: against Leon Edwards. I'm not gonna ask you whose favor

136
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 7: because I think you know it's Leon Edwards. I didn't

137
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 7: think it would be as swollen as minus four twenty

138
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 7: according to DraftKings sports book, Nathan DZ coming back at

139
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 7: plus three thirty five. But you know, Nate Diaz picks

140
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 7: his opponents carefully and he believes that Leon Edwards is worthy.

141
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 7: It's a huge fight in terms of this welterweight landscape.

142
00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 7: What do you think about DZ Edwards coming up here

143
00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 7: in about six weeks minus four to twenty against Nate Ideas?

144
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 8: Is that what you're saying?

145
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 7: Oh, come, how about that? I mean, I'm not.

146
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 6: No, I feel hey, listen man, thank you Cody. Uh

147
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 6: listen man.

148
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: I think that, uh, there isn't a whole lot of

149
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: people that can just walk through someone like a Nate Diez.

150
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 1: And I think Nate Diez is one of those guys that, uh,

151
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: you don't really know how tough he is. Until you

152
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: get in there with him. Leon Edwards is very skillful. Uh,

153
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 1: he's looking very sharp. It must have felt good to

154
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: get a few minutes in against someone like a Balah Muhammad.

155
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 8: Uh.

156
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: But you know, Nate Diez is gonna be a whole

157
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: different challenge. He's tall, he's lanky, he has excellent striking chops.

158
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the better jiu jitsu practitioner out there.

159
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 8: Uh.

160
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 6: He has a ton of experience.

161
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: So I love this fight. It's very intriguing to me. Obviously,

162
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: Leon Edwards is concerned with really moving off from the

163
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: balal Mohammed fight, and obviously anytime you get a chance

164
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: to fight one of the biggest names, one of the

165
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: most famous fighters in the UFC, and Nate Diez, this

166
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: is a great way for Leon Edwards to elevate his

167
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: status and to get respect amongst the common fans. I

168
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 1: think if you know the sport and you follow the

169
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 1: sport and you've seen Leon Edwards fight, you know how

170
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: good this kid really is. But you know, for the

171
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: common fans, I think getting a big win over someone

172
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 1: like a Nate Diaz would do wonders for him and

173
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: his career.

174
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:34,719
Speaker 7: And Dana White is a man of his word. He

175
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,960
Speaker 7: said he had something big for Leon Edwards and they

176
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 7: are moving him forward. And we'll get to Balah Muhammad

177
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 7: later here in headlines. But I think you're wise to

178
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 7: point out those six and a half seven minutes or

179
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 7: so that Leon Edwards had against Bala Muhammad potentially hugely

180
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,240
Speaker 7: valuable going into a twenty five minute affair with Nate Diz.

181
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 7: But it's always good to have the Diaz brothers, Nate

182
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,839
Speaker 7: or Nick in the space and a huge injection into

183
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 7: UFC two sixty two. Also playing that night in the

184
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 7: Featherway Division, Shane Burgos versus Eds and Barboza. That's a

185
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 7: big fight. Also announced since we were last on the air,

186
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 7: Jack Hermanson versus Edmund Shabasian. Who do you think is

187
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 7: the betting favorite there at one hundred and eighty five pounds?

188
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 7: Shabazi and I believe coming off his first pro loss

189
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 7: to to Derek Brunson, I don't believe we have seen

190
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 7: him since. Who's favored Hermanson Shabazian?

191
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,359
Speaker 6: That's tricky. I know who I would be leaning.

192
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 1: Towards, but as far as who the bookmakers think is

193
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 1: the favorite.

194
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 6: I would think it would be Hermnson.

195
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 7: Hermanson minus one eighty five, so I thought it would

196
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 7: be closer. Shabazian is plus one sixty, and you know,

197
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 7: not all that long ago Edmund was undefeated all the rage.

198
00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:41,199
Speaker 7: You know, I was putting him on an Atasania type pedestal,

199
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 7: and now he's plus one sixty against Jack Armanson, also

200
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 7: at UFC two sixty two. Tony Ferguson versus Benil dar Hush,

201
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 7: how about Benny dar Yusch in the lightweight mix Kenflow?

202
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 7: Who do you think is favored there? Benny Daryush, Tony Ferguson.

203
00:09:55,080 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 1: Hmmm, that's a tricky one. I'd be leaning towards it's Ferguson,

204
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: But who knows? Is Ferguson the favorite?

205
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,000
Speaker 7: Heading into that Banilo dar Us minus one fifty five? Wow,

206
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 7: Ferguson plus one thirty five. A lot of fans were

207
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 7: surprised to see that betting line, and I think a

208
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 7: few of them that I talked to, uh when in

209
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 7: hard on Tony at plus one thirty five, but uh, hey,

210
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 7: current form for Banil dar Yuse? I mean, what a

211
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 7: war with Diego Pieda and obviously Ferguson coming off a

212
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 7: couple losses for the first time in a long time.

213
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 7: All right, So UFC two to sixty three is June twelfth.

214
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 7: The main event is going to be the Flyway Championship

215
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 7: rematch Davison Figuretto and Brandon Moreno and Blom Muhammad is

216
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 7: getting one of the guys that he asked for, can

217
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 7: flow another one of these nineteen seventies babies, Damian Maya.

218
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 7: This has been a name on the tip of Balall's

219
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 7: tongue for a long time, and I think if your

220
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,199
Speaker 7: Blall priority number one had to be Leon Edwards, you

221
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 7: kind of felt like you weren't going to get that

222
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 7: fight again. Unfortunately. Then priority number two, I think for

223
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 7: Blall was going to be to try to get a

224
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 7: main event because this one was sort of unceremoniously taken

225
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 7: away from him. Priority number three was to get the

226
00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 7: guy he's been calling out for a while, and that's Damien,

227
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 7: you know, Ballall. If he can't get on the championship

228
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 7: trajectory as expeditilessly as he would like to, he wants

229
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 7: to challenge himself. And what better way to challenge yourself

230
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 7: stylistically than to fight somebody that we all hold in

231
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 7: such a high regard your good friend Damien Maya.

232
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's rare that you get a guy

233
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 1: that wants to step up and face Damian Maya. And

234
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 1: the fact that Belall wants to do that shows his confidence,

235
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, it really shows his confidence then where he

236
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: thinks his game is at. But you know, I know

237
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: when I was fighting John, you know, I would lick

238
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: my chops anytime I would see a guy who was

239
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: a big name or was ranked higher than me. That

240
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: was my opportunity to steal everything I could from that person,

241
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 1: uh and elevate myself and get the respect and get

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: one step closer to fighting for the belt. So I

243
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: think that's the way Belall sees that anyone who defeats

244
00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,839
Speaker 1: a Damian Maya is you know, is going to be

245
00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: a big deal, and Blall is looking to capitalize on

246
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: this opportunity.

247
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 6: Not an easy fight.

248
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: How many times have we seen a guy in the

249
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 1: top six, top seven fighted Damian Maya only to be

250
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 1: tapping out or going to sleep a few minutes later,

251
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: So this is not an easy fight. I do think

252
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: Ballall has the wrestling chops to maybe prevent Damian Meyer

253
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: from taking to the floor, and he certainly has the

254
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 1: striking skills, so I'm really curious to see how this

255
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 1: one goes down.

256
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,120
Speaker 7: As I said on the show last week, before Steven

257
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 7: Warner Boy Thompson, it was always Damian Maya. Where where

258
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 7: UFC welts wait winning streaks went to die. So from

259
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 7: Bala Mohammed, We'll see. Maybe he'll be the underdog, maybe

260
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,720
Speaker 7: he'll be the favorite. I don't know. I do know

261
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,559
Speaker 7: that Damian Maya is going to be forty four years

262
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 7: old later this year. I also know that he's won

263
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 7: three of four right, so he did lose that fight

264
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 7: in Brazilia just before COVID nineteen intervened. That was March fourteenth,

265
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 7: twenty twenty, but Maya had won three in a row

266
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 7: leading up to that fight. A main event over Ben

267
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,079
Speaker 7: Askrin mixed in there, so very interesting fight in the

268
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 7: welterweight division. All right, very quickly, Saturday June nineteenth. Your

269
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 7: main event, Dany Gay against the Korean zombie Chance Sung jung.

270
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 7: Ega has been asking for that fight for a long

271
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 7: time and nice to see the promotion reward Dan Egay,

272
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 7: who accepted the Ryan Hall fight, a fight that, as

273
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 7: we have discussed, people just are not accepting these days.

274
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 7: And then obviously he had a big knockout against Gavin Tucker,

275
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 7: a guy that maybe you're not getting top fifteen guys

276
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 7: to rush to the altar to sign to fight, so

277
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 7: he gets the Korean Zombie. Saturday June twenty sixth, it'll

278
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,559
Speaker 7: be Alexander Volcov and Sieile Gone in a heavyweight main event.

279
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 7: And then I want to get your thoughts on at

280
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 7: UFC two sixty four July tenth, before we get to

281
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 7: the trilogy, Stephen WonderBoy Thompson, Gilbert Dureno Burns wonder Boy

282
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 7: minus one eighty Gilbert Burns plus one fifty five. You know,

283
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 7: Durenho is the consummate, take on all comers type of fighter,

284
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 7: But man, there's certainly easier matchups at one hundred and

285
00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 7: seventy pounds for Gilbert Burns than Steven Thompson. Your thoughts

286
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 7: on that one coming up here this summer.

287
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: Well, listen, you know, Wonder Boy is unlike any striker

288
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: that has ever competed inside the octagon. Gilbert burn will

289
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: certainly have his hands full, but also Wonder Boy hasn't

290
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: gone against a whole lot of excellent ground technicians like

291
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: Gilbert Burns as well. So for Gilbert, I think, you know, yes,

292
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 1: he can use his striking and this and that. You

293
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: don't want to stay on your feet for too long

294
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 1: again someone like WonderBoy. You know, Gilbert has power, he's

295
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: got speed, but wonder Boy is so slick with this striking.

296
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: He's made some of the best strikers look silly. Gilbert

297
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: Burns has to take this fight to the ground. If

298
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: he's able to do that, he can win this fight, all.

299
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 7: Right, and then your headliner at UFC two sixty four

300
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 7: July tenth, maybe we'll have International Fight Week, but three

301
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 7: months away. I'm not all that ambitious about that. Dustin

302
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 7: Poorrier will get the red corner against Connor McGregor. The

303
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 7: question is Kenflow. Who's the betting favorite right now as

304
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 7: we sit here on Monday, April five. Whoo.

305
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 1: I'd imagine it had to be a slight favorite, and

306
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 1: I would be leading towards Dustin, I guess.

307
00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: But what do you.

308
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 7: Got if I did not give Kemflow any preparation that

309
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 7: I was going to ask in betting lines today. By

310
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 7: the way, you're right, it's close essentially a pick. I'm

311
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 7: Connor minus one fifteen can poury a minus one oh five.

312
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 7: No language as to whether or not that fight is

313
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 7: going to be at seventy or fifty five. I haven't

314
00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 7: even seen promotional confirmation yet, but it seems like both

315
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,520
Speaker 7: athletes have intimated that it will go down on July tenth.

316
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 7: Hopefully it's at one hundred and fifty five pounds, which

317
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 7: makes it it far more relevant. But would that affect

318
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 7: which way you would lean if it was at fifty

319
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 7: five or seventy or not necessarily.

320
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,920
Speaker 1: Potentially listen, I think probably at one seventy it might

321
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 1: be an advantage for Connor do it at.

322
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 6: One fifty five.

323
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 1: Both these guys are are looking to get the belt

324
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: in that weight class, you know, so might as well

325
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: make it, make it one fifty five, and I think

326
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: it forces certainly Connor to be focused and get his

327
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 1: training in.

328
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,840

Speaker 6: Jesus, they really do.

365
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,639

00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:37,800

371
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,400
Speaker 7: one viewer was like, I actually think John owned Ray

372
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 7: in that conversation. So we like that guy.

373
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 6: That vocal minority.

00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,320

00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 9: And then he came over and he spawed one of

470
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 9: you know, he did the following scision we set up.

471
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 8: So guy's insane, that's all they could say. But man,

472
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 8: is he in some carts and so hopefully he maintains

473
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 8: that while he's out there and he's good to go.

474
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:23,479
Speaker 7: Who's he fighting.

475
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 8: He's fighting Cody Steamen. Tough fight. Oh my, oh gosh,

476
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 8: what a fight.

477
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 7: Morob. I'm telling you is like the last guy I

478
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 7: would ever want to fight. I'm a broken record on that.

479
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 7: I don't want to fight the cardio guy at all.

480
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 7: All right, Chris Widman, you're Riah Hall. The rematch is

481
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 7: April twenty fourth. You're right, Jacksonville, Florida. It will not

482
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,159
Speaker 7: be in Las Vegas, Nevada. So the first fight between

483
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 7: these two men, right, I'm going to take you back.

484
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 7: We'll see how your memory is. Eleven years later, September

485
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 7: twenty fourth, twenty ten, Chris Widman was two and zero.

486
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 7: It was Ring of Combat thirty one, Atlantic City, New Jersey.

487
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 7: It was Widman's first time cutting down to one hundred

488
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,680
Speaker 7: and eighty five pounds after two catchway fights at one

489
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 7: ninety for Uriah hall fifth pro fight. It ended up

490
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 7: being his first pro loss. And now, of course the

491
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 7: rematches nineteen days away. What do you remember about that

492
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 7: first fight, Ring of Combat thirty one.

493
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 9: Well, listen on the regional circuit, Uryah Hole was killing

494
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 9: it right, So he was he was considered the guy

495
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 9: for sure. And I'll tell you it was so bad

496
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 9: that Chris had a girl, some girl he knew from

497
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 9: Baldwin was training with Eurya and She actually called him

498
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 9: and said, please, whatever you do, don't take this fight.

499
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 9: Don't do it like you know. That's how that was

500
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,920
Speaker 9: the ambiance that Euryah Hall had, right, you know, classic

501
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 9: widman at that time.

502
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 8: I think he was just unstoppable.

503
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 9: Nobody really had any idea, and I think Aryah Hole

504
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 9: found out, you know the hard way.

505
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 8: I mean, he got taken down. He couldn't move.

506
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 9: First, he got knocked down by a punch, which was

507
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 9: I was happy about, you know, because he stood up

508
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 9: with him. And then he when he knocked him down,

509
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 9: it was he couldn't just it was just bad. So

510
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,760
Speaker 9: I'm sure, look, you Ray is a great guy. I'm

511
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 9: sure he wants to erect to fight that. But I

512
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 9: remember that fight like it was yesterday because I left

513
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,480

00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,679
Speaker 9: I don't want you to get in trouble, you know

590
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 9: He didn't do anything, but uh, being in hindsight, man,

591
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,240
Speaker 9: I quin this themand I mean he speaks his mind

592
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:49,600

Speaker 8: Man. What a what a great what a great piece

00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 8: of footage that is?

596
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,280
Speaker 7: And uh, I just didn't want it to end. I

597
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 7: just I had to follow up with the question, I

598
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 7: just didn't want it to end. See if he could

599
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 7: maybe go off a little bit more on these co

600
00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:02,679
Speaker 7: educationals at George Mason.

601
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,240
Speaker 8: How funny was that? But uh, yeah, that was a man.

602
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 8: I can't six years. I just don't know where the

603
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 8: time's going.

604
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 7: Did you watch that clip yesterday?

605
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:10,720
Speaker 6: Ray?

606
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 7: Did you watch that clip? So there seems to be

607
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,879
Speaker 7: a little bit of a misconception. And it's selfish for

608
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,719
Speaker 7: me to bring this up, but my name's on the podcast,

609
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 7: so I'm gonna do it. People think I'm losing my

610
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 7: hair can't flow right like people think that it is

611
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,120
Speaker 7: in recession. Right, This is a choice, this bald head

612
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 7: and Ray, if you saw how I looked in the

613
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 7: octagon with that hair, you see why I shaved my head.

614
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 7: I look like I look like an asshole.

615
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 8: Ry, Well, you know I disagree.

616
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 6: I disagree.

617
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: And again, if you guys want any evidence that he's

618
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,719
Speaker 1: not losing his hair, then uh, you know, look at

619
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: his brother Jason.

620
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 6: That's ahead of hair.

621
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 7: He's got all the hair, right, Ray, you paused as

622
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 7: if to say you didn't think I looked particularly good.

623
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 8: With that hair.

624
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,400
Speaker 9: It's okay, Jewish, I wasn't going that way.

625
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,080
Speaker 8: The perception is reality. If that was your perception, yeah,

626
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 8: that's reality. But you look good with without hair. You

627
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 8: wear it all good, buddy?

628
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 7: Well thanks, well, thanks all right, before we let you go.

629
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 7: I was so excited to see them lock the door

630
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 7: behind Darren Till and Marvin Vittori. Instead it's gonna be

631
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 7: Kevin Holland who steps in. And it's hard not to

632
00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 7: wonder aloud what they would have done if Kevin Holland

633
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 7: wasn't available, Because if you look at the rankings and

634
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 7: you look at the relative availability of these fighters, you know,

635
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 7: I suppose they could have tried to get your Riah

636
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 7: or Chris, now that I think about it, But uh,

637
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 7: what are your thoughts on Kevin Holland a couple of

638
00:29:29,480 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: weeks after a very underwhelming effort against Eric Brunson, getting

639
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 7: another massive opportunity here.

640
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:37,960
Speaker 9: Look Kevin Holland, you know, look, he gets a chance

641
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 9: to redeem himself real quick.

642
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 8: What a what better?

643
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 9: What a better way than right away you just jump

644
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 9: back in there and get a win. So for him,

645
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 9: it's it's a chance at redemption he gets he has

646
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 9: a great fight. Everybody forgets about the brunsome fight immediately

647
00:29:51,760 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 9: that's the way that this is the way this ship works, right,

648
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:58,800
Speaker 9: But it definitely no, that's a large task he has

649
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 9: in front of him. I think Victoria now, even seeing

650
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 9: what happened in the brunts and fight, has a pretty

651
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:07,880
Speaker 9: good idea, you know. And either way, his stand up

652
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 9: is good, but he knows that on the ground he

653
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:12,880
Speaker 9: could probably control him.

654
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 8: A very interesting fight.

655
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 9: I'm a very dangerous fight for Vittori though, because I

656
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 9: don't think he has anything to gain because of what

657
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 9: happened in the Brunsoon fight.

658
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 8: Right. Yeah, you know, it's a.

659
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 9: Fight, and I give him credit for taking it, but

660
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 9: I think it against a dangerous guy that you know,

661
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 9: he could be one of those guys that either gets

662
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 9: you out of there or you beat him, you know

663
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 9: what I mean, like you smother them on the floor.

664
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 8: So he's a and that's.

665
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 7: A five round fight, five round fight.

666
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's an interesting fight.

667
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 9: I'm going with Vittori only because I think he you know,

668
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:49,040
Speaker 9: knows there's a smart way to win that fight. And

669
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 9: but this is again on the other side, this guy

670
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 9: has a chance to just erase what happened a couple

671
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 9: of weeks ago, and.

672
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 8: I think that's a big thing.

673
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 9: And I think he's a guy that so whacky goes

674
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 9: in there and he looks like he'll be able to

675
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 9: put that behind him. But we're gonna find out a

676
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:06,479
Speaker 9: lot about Kevin Holland too in this fight. The pressure

677
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 9: is on him also because if he has two losses,

678
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 9: he won from major prospect to you know, one more

679
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 9: fight and you're right of the UFC type of deal,

680
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 9: you know, So mentally he's he's got to be feeling

681
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 9: the two.

682
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, He's got a lot of long range weapons, a

683
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,240
Speaker 7: lot of good chokes in his arsenal. He is the

684
00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 7: undersized guy in terms of overall width and girth. I

685
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 7: guess I would worry about almost anybody in this spot

686
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 7: other than Marvin Bettori because he's just such an animal.

687
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 7: I literally think he's the hungriest fighter on the roster.

688
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 7: Like there might be fighters who want to be a

689
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 7: UFC champion as badly as Marvin, but nobody wants it

690
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 7: more than that guy. And we'll get a prediction from

691
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 7: Ken full later in the program. All right, my man,

692
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 7: well wheels up to South Carolina. We wish you a

693
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 7: safe trip, and I look forward to seeing you in

694
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,160

Speaker 7: put me in line. So want to know for Cody Merrow,

784
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 7: this Russian fighter set to make his UFC debut on

785
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:56,560
Speaker 7: the main card on ABC this Saturday afternoon, had a

786
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 7: big one on Dana White's Contender series last year. Cody Merrow,

787
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 7: of whom am I speaking?

788
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 11: Well, John, you know, I'm gonna use an old trope

789
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,360
Speaker 11: from politics that if you're going to be wrong, at

790
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 11: least say it with confidence. So I'm going to take

791
00:36:08,520 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 11: a stab at this alv oh so close.

792
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 8: All right, I'm.

793
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 11: Gonna this is a short one, so I'm gonna let

794
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 11: it loop a couple of times, if that's okay.

795
00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:23,360
Speaker 7: Lee, Lee as.

796
00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: His reev right, he said he is always a right yeah.

797
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 7: And he said his rieb So otherwise, outstanding job on

798
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 7: the r name.

799
00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 6: I mean it was parcel points.

800
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 11: You know, if we had have like a ten nine

801
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:47,920
Speaker 11: and a half round or something, you know.

802
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: Alah, he sounds you sounds beautiful as that.

803
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,279
Speaker 11: I can't really hear that on the PFL broadcast. It's

804
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 11: call and Kenny.

805
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:02,279
Speaker 7: Set your DVRs folks Aliah Cobb Hisriev may just call

806
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,760
Speaker 7: him the black Wolf though if he knocks out Kyle Dakas,

807
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:09,400
Speaker 7: because that is a mouthful needless to say. All right, Cody,

808
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 7: appreciate your contribution. That falls you back to one and one,

809
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,799
Speaker 7: and as much as we appreciate our listeners don't need

810
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 7: to hear from you on that one. That's a clear loss,

811
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 7: and Cody falls to one and one. Let's get to

812
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 7: the main event challenge.

813
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 12: It's the main event challenge and at the time it

814
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 12: is most how do you everything park will to win?

815
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 4: It's the main event Challenge with John Annick and Kenny Florian.

816
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,760
Speaker 7: Podcast All right now with us for the main event Challenge.

817
00:37:38,800 --> 00:37:41,279
Speaker 7: He is a fine mixed martial arts analyst on social

818
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:43,600
Speaker 7: media at Ian Parker Mma. He is the duck Ian

819
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 7: Parker Team Annik with the overall lead thirty four to

820
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,360
Speaker 7: thirty eight. It's nice to see you, my friend. My

821
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 7: twin brother says that I need to be nicer to you,

822
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 7: so that is going to be my focus this week.

823
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 7: But the only thing that I get to control in

824
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 7: this main event challenge is how many fights and which

825
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:01,719
Speaker 7: fights we pick and and I couldn't eliminate one of

826
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,879
Speaker 7: these seven. So you guys have your work cut out

827
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 7: for you. When you see me Ian send an email

828
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 7: with seven picks, and you know you got to make

829
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 7: them like six days before the fights. Not ideal, I

830
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,919
Speaker 7: would think, right like, have you bet any fights yet?

831
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 12: No?

832
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 13: You know what it gets, it's a little early to

833
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,400
Speaker 13: do that, especially with certain lines and obviously with COVID

834
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:23,319
Speaker 13: and stuff. You know, as you've seen a lot of

835
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 13: fights have gotten canceled along the way.

836
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 3: But you know, my research is still there.

837
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:29,000
Speaker 13: I still study off, I watch tape, but do as

838
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 13: much as I can in regards to placing actual bets.

839
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 3: It's too early.

840
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,160
Speaker 7: Well, I appreciate both of you guys sort of peeling

841
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,719
Speaker 7: this one back so early in fight week. And I

842
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 7: would suggest two betters out there. If you're looking at

843
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 7: a fight like Mackenzie Durham versus Nina answer off, and

844
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 7: you are convicted one side or the other, you might

845
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 7: as well bet it now because it's a pick and fight.

846
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,160
Speaker 7: But we'll see where that one closes. First fight for us,

847
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:50,520
Speaker 7: though it is not gonna be at strawweight. It'll be

848
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 7: at one hundred and fifty five pounds Joe Silecki minus

849
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,239
Speaker 7: two to twenty five Jim Miller plus one seventy five

850
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 7: Ian Parker.

851
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:57,919
Speaker 8: Who do you have here?

852
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 3: First off, I want to thank Jason Adam. I love you.

853
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 3: I appreciate you having my back.

854
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 7: And John.

855
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 13: And by the way, I always told people when they

856
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 13: asked about your hair, I mean, I don't know if

857
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 13: it has anything to do with him having ridiculously long hair,

858
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:13,400
Speaker 13: but it's clear that yours is a choice. By the

859
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 13: way you do a feed, it doesn't look like the

860
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 13: hairlines received. Again, it's not like a Michael Jordan situation.

861
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 13: So I got well, I appreciate that.

862
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 7: And it's not like if I put my fingers through

863
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 7: my hair, it feels as nice as can flows like.

864
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 7: It doesn't feel good. I can barely get my fingers

865
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 7: through it. It's an easy, easy decision to shave it.

866
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:30,480
Speaker 7: But thank you for that.

867
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:33,799
Speaker 3: And as you were, yeah, no, definitely, this is a

868
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 3: tough fight.

869
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,960
Speaker 13: You know, It's always hard when you have a young

870
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 13: guy going against a seasoned veteran in Jim Miller, where

871
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 13: the line is like this, you know, if you strip

872
00:39:40,520 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 13: away the lines, I'm gonna go with Seleti. I'm not,

873
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,839
Speaker 13: but I don't love betting on him at minus two

874
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 13: hundred plus. You know, I could see why some would

875
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:49,640
Speaker 13: take a stab at Jim Miller, but I just think

876
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 13: Selecti right now, this is They're putting him in this

877
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 13: position for a reason. They want to really see if

878
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 13: he's the real deal. And unfortunately Jim Miller keeps being

879
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 13: put as a gatekeeper. So I'm gonna roll with the

880
00:39:58,239 --> 00:40:00,759
Speaker 13: young gun in this one, but this is gonna be

881
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 13: a tough fight, Kenny.

882
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 7: Jim Miller was to face Bobby Green in mid February.

883
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:06,799
Speaker 7: As many of you know, Green fell ill at the

884
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 7: way and that fight went away, And now Miller will

885
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 7: make his record thirty seventh UFC appearance against the upstart

886
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 7: Joe Selecti, who's won five in a row. He's two

887
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:15,960
Speaker 7: and zero in the UFC. He's a new father, and

888
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 7: Kenny trains out of a good camp in North Carolina,

889
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 7: as you well know, and has a pretty good nose

890
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 7: for the submission. Seven of his ten pro wins have

891
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:25,799
Speaker 7: come by way of sub What do you think about

892
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 7: SELECTI here against the credential Jim Miller.

893
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,279
Speaker 1: Well, if you're Seleuci, you definitely want to have that

894
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 1: background if you're going to face someone like a Jim

895
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:35,800
Speaker 1: Miller who is very keen at getting a submission himself.

896
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,400
Speaker 1: And you know Miller, anytime you fight him, you know

897
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 1: you're going to be in for a brawl.

898
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:41,840
Speaker 6: No matter how long it lasts.

899
00:40:41,880 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 1: This guy's going to come forward, he's going to get

900
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 1: in your face, he's going to look to finish you.

901
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: But I do think SELECTI has time on his side,

902
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:54,239
Speaker 1: and you know, I think he's fighting probably Jim at

903
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: the right time. He does have to have to deal

904
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:58,880
Speaker 1: with a lot of experience from Miller, But I like

905
00:40:58,920 --> 00:41:00,239
Speaker 1: SELECTI here all right.

906
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:02,759
Speaker 7: Next fight boys at one hundred and seventy pounds d

907
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 7: rod Daniel Rodriguez minus one ninety Platinum Mike Perry plus

908
00:41:07,280 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 7: one fifty. So Rodriguez coming off the lost to Nicholas Dalby,

909
00:41:10,239 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 7: that was a UFC fifty five late last year, otherwise

910
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 7: perfect in the UFC, so he was three and zero

911
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 7: going into that Dolby fight. Platinum Mike Perry fifteenth UFC

912
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,480
Speaker 7: appearance Ian, any idea what Perry's UFC record is here

913
00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 7: coming into his fifteenth UFC start.

914
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 13: I don't, but I'm gonna say before you tell me,

915
00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:28,840
Speaker 13: I'm very surprised at how big of an underdog he

916
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 13: is with this fight.

917
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 7: Well, he's seven and seven in the UFC, he's dropped

918
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:35,040
Speaker 7: three of four. The winning there was over Mickey Gall

919
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:38,600
Speaker 7: last June, and maybe looks like he's getting back to

920
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 7: some of his training roots with X Nicholson and his

921
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,360
Speaker 7: father there in Central Florida. What do you think about

922
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,000
Speaker 7: Perry here at plus one fifty? Sounds like maybe you

923
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 7: see some value in I do see some value.

924
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,439
Speaker 13: You know, Rodriguez has shown some flaws in his game,

925
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:53,840
Speaker 13: gets a little wild, very hittable. Also, Cardio gets a

926
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 13: little up and down throughout the fight. Perry's never shown

927
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 13: a slow down button.

928
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:57,759
Speaker 3: You know.

929
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 13: We have seen those moments, even with grappling with Mike

930
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 13: Perry in his fight against Mickey Gall, everyone said if

931
00:42:03,080 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 13: he was gonna lose, Gall was gonna outgraple him, and

932
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 13: Perry show that that wasn't the case. And I think

933
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 13: his striking is just gonna be cleaner. You know, listen

934
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,239
Speaker 13: getting destroyed by Luke is not the worst thing in

935
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 13: the world.

936
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: That's look what just happened with Woodley.

937
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 13: So I think Mike Perry at the plus one fifty

938
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 13: number as an underdog, I'm gonna go with him here.

939
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 13: I think experienced level of competition may go a long way.

940
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 13: So I can't believe him saying this beginning, Mike Perry.

941
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 7: No, I mean, I agree with a lot of your sentiments, Kenny.

942
00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 7: I don't think the betting line properly reflects the wealth

943
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 7: of UFC experience that Mike Perry has accrued here. But

944
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 7: sometimes you don't know what you're gonna get with Perry,

945
00:42:37,480 --> 00:42:39,120
Speaker 7: like for us, until we sit down with him in

946
00:42:39,160 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 7: a fighter meeting. Sometimes I don't know what his training

947
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 7: camp has held. So, and Rodriguez is quite good, obviously,

948
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:45,800
Speaker 7: What are your thoughts on this one?

949
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I think that's fair.

950
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: I think both of these guys are very similar in

951
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 1: that they're not afraid to get in there in trade.

952
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 1: Rodriguez has a very good right hand going backwards. He's

953
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,920
Speaker 1: got some really good counter shots. He'll stay in the

954
00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: pocket even when it's not wise to do so, and

955
00:43:02,160 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: he'll find a way to drop you.

956
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 6: Mike Perry is very much that same guy.

957
00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: I think that Ian's correct in that Mike Perry is

958
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: probably a little bit more polished in some areas. Uh,

959
00:43:14,520 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 1: but it seems like Rodriguez tends to stay more composed.

960
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:23,480
Speaker 1: This is a tough one to pick, but I do

961
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: agree with Ian in that for Mike Perry be the

962
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,840
Speaker 1: underdog here, and knowing that these guys are going to trade,

963
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: I would like to think that Mike Perry has just

964
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,239
Speaker 1: good a chance of finishing this fight as Rodriguez does.

965
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,719
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be a violent fight. I

966
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:41,840
Speaker 1: think they will spill blood in the octagon, like a

967
00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: lot of these fights on Saturday morning afternoon.

968
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 6: And yeah, I'm gonna go with Perry as well.

969
00:43:48,440 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 7: Very interesting stuff there. And by the way, I'm gonna

970
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 7: steal that Ken fl A line on Daniel Rodriguez's walkout.

971
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 7: I'm be like, man, you'll notice too, he's got this

972
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 7: real nice right hand when he's backing up. I picked

973
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,279
Speaker 7: it up on film while I was getting ready the

974
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 7: Call of Fights. Alrighty in huge fight at strawweight here.

975
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 7: Pick them for our purposes minus one twelve on both

976
00:44:07,440 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 7: sides per DraftKings Sports Book Nina answer off, Mackenzie Dern.

977
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 7: Now Nina has changed her name to Nina Newnett's, but

978
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 7: her fight name is still answer Off, at least as

979
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 7: of this taping. But I guess that doesn't really matter.

980
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,279
Speaker 7: What matters to me as I handicap this fighting is

981
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:27,120
Speaker 7: that Mackenzie Dern has fought four times since we last

982
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:29,480
Speaker 7: saw Nina. When we did see Nina, it was a

983
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:33,280
Speaker 7: competitive loss to Tatsiano Suarez. These are two of the best.

984
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:33,439
Speaker 8: In the world.

985
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 7: In my opinion, I would be laying off this fight

986
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 7: if I was contractually permitted to bet on it. But

987
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:41,840
Speaker 7: you obviously don't have that optioning, And so who do

988
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,640
Speaker 7: you like here? Dern or answer off?

989
00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 13: I think if her last name was Nunia is in

990
00:44:46,719 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 13: the cage, the line might be a little bit different,

991
00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 13: just based out of confusion with Vegas, and I kind

992
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:53,480
Speaker 13: of hope that does happen. Then I might take a stab.

993
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:56,200
Speaker 13: Kenny's laughing because he knows of one hundred percent right there.

994
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 13: If she walked out going you know, man, the new

995
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 13: Neon is his wife, Nina.

996
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 3: Eighty five, just straight out of married to the lioness.

997
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:06,319
Speaker 7: You know what?

998
00:45:06,600 --> 00:45:09,400
Speaker 13: This is a really this is a fight where I

999
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,480
Speaker 13: wouldn't bet on. But and it's weird because Nina kind

1000
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 13: of left at a weird time. I thought what she

1001
00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 13: showed him that Tatiana fight was a lot and she

1002
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 13: was on a really good streak. I just think that

1003
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:22,240
Speaker 13: Mackenzie Dern, with the experience she's had over the four fights,

1004
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 13: what we've seen, the striking's gotten better. She's with a

1005
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,520
Speaker 13: great coach at Jason Peruro. I just I think this

1006
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,359
Speaker 13: is really hard six months after giving birth, being out

1007
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 13: for a little while, and McKenzie knew what she's been doing.

1008
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 13: I think McKenzie's gonna be better on the ground, striking

1009
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 13: Nina by a little. I'm gonna go with Mackenzie Dern here.

1010
00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:43,120
Speaker 13: I'm not overly confident either way, but I just think

1011
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,799
Speaker 13: that timing wise, this makes sense for her all right.

1012
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 7: Ian likes Mackenzie Dern, so Nina's a good friend of mine.

1013
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 7: I remember talking to her Kenny when she was pregnant.

1014
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 7: She said she wanted to come back in January at flyway. Instead,

1015
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:58,799
Speaker 7: it's gonna be April at strawweight, in the division in

1016
00:45:58,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 7: which she is a bona F contender. Ian mentioned the

1017
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 7: alignment for Mackenzie durned with Jason Perillo. Much has been

1018
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 7: made of the two of them, and it seems like

1019
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 7: Dran is at a developmental stage in her career Kenny,

1020
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,400
Speaker 7: where she is ready to present a different version almost

1021
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 7: every fight here. I mean, if you watch some of

1022
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 7: her training footage, the evolution has been marked. I thought

1023
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 7: she would be a bigger favorite here candidly, but what

1024
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,080
Speaker 7: do you think about Nina answer Off and Mackenzie dern

1025
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 7: here on the main card?

1026
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, listen, as good as Nina is on the ground, obviously,

1027
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,920
Speaker 1: Mackenzie's going to have that advantage against anyone in that

1028
00:46:32,040 --> 00:46:34,640
Speaker 1: division or anyone even close to her weight. She's just

1029
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 1: that good. She has that kind of a pedigree in

1030
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:41,319
Speaker 1: the jiu jitsu world. So I think that's ultimately where

1031
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: she wants to take it, if she wants to take

1032
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,760
Speaker 1: the path of least resistance. I think that her striking

1033
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: is improving, but in order for her to get it

1034
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,080
Speaker 1: to work, she's going to have to get by that

1035
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 1: very good sidekick from me to answer off. Nina's sidekick

1036
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: has been a weapon that she's used for a long time.

1037
00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: She uses it well, that is the longest weapon you

1038
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,919
Speaker 1: can use Everyone talks about the jab, but that lead

1039
00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 1: leg sidekick from Nina is gonna be a handful.

1040
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:11,280
Speaker 6: And Nina has a tremendous amount of UOC experience against

1041
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 6: very good fighters.

1042
00:47:12,840 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 1: If she can keep it on the feet, I think

1043
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: she's going to have an advantage from what I've seen

1044
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: so far. Again, Mackenzie Dirt could be a completely different

1045
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: striker this time around, but I think for Nina to win,

1046
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,520
Speaker 1: she's gonna have to keep it on the feet and

1047
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,400
Speaker 1: she's gonna have to get right into her rhythm right away.

1048
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 6: No easy task.

1049
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,720
Speaker 1: Mackenzie Dirn has been in this very same situation coming

1050
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:37,360
Speaker 1: off of giving birth and having to train for a camp,

1051
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: and you know, there's a lot of changes that go on,

1052
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with the pregnancy and then having the

1053
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 1: baby and recovering from the pregnancy. It is not easy,

1054
00:47:46,560 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: and I'm curious to see how Nina comes back from it.

1055
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 6: Obviously, she is as tough as they come.

1056
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 1: She has the skills to get it done, but just

1057
00:47:56,680 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 1: based on activity, I think I'd have to lean McKenzie's way.

1058
00:48:02,360 --> 00:48:06,320
Speaker 7: As of right now, Nina answer off criminally underappreciated. For

1059
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:08,959
Speaker 7: my money, she's underrated. I think by the fan base,

1060
00:48:09,080 --> 00:48:11,239
Speaker 7: not by the jobsmakers who are giving her a lot

1061
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 7: of respect here and talk about matchmaking, right going, Suarez

1062
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 7: and Durham back to back. Nothing easy about those one

1063
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:19,600
Speaker 7: hundred and fifteen pound waters in the UFC. All right

1064
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,799
Speaker 7: at middleweight here, back to back, boys, We'll start with

1065
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:25,000
Speaker 7: Julian Marquez minus won eighty smile and sam Alvi plus

1066
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:28,080
Speaker 7: one sixty. So Ian a lot of pressure on. Sam

1067
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 7: Alvi could be fighting for his job here as he

1068
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,640
Speaker 7: moves back down to one hundred and eighty five pounds

1069
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,400
Speaker 7: for what will be his twenty first UFC appearance. Last

1070
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,839
Speaker 7: performance had some upside. It was a draw against Dotlon Jung,

1071
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 7: but the last win for sam Alvi Utica, New York,

1072
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:45,040
Speaker 7: June one, twenty eighteen. Marquez, on the other side, rally

1073
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 7: for a big win against Maki Patolo. Not all that

1074
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:50,200
Speaker 7: long ago, Ian Parker, Marquez or sam Alvi for you.

1075
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, that fight with Marquez and coconut bombs as you

1076
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 13: like to I guess all right, Ry was that good?

1077
00:48:57,040 --> 00:49:00,799
Speaker 13: I've been working the perfect to appreciate that. Kenny wants

1078
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,359
Speaker 13: to say something, Go ahead and make fun of it.

1079
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 3: Go ahead, now, you're good.

1080
00:49:06,120 --> 00:49:09,080
Speaker 13: I totally misread that reaction. Okay, fuck me, I guess.

1081
00:49:09,080 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 13: But yeah, so Julian mark kez.

1082
00:49:11,480 --> 00:49:11,960
Speaker 3: In this one.

1083
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 13: Look what we saw with the adjustments he's made. I

1084
00:49:14,920 --> 00:49:16,640
Speaker 13: think with Sam Alvi, you know what you're getting. You

1085
00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 13: got a guy who could punch really hard. You got

1086
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 13: a guy who's willing to take the shots to give

1087
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 13: a big one. I just don't know if at this week,

1088
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 13: if he's goa able to handle Marquez's speed. I think

1089
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 13: if Marquez just doesn't get over zealous. Remember there was

1090
00:49:29,600 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 13: a long time out of the cage for Julian coming back.

1091
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 13: Now the jitters are gone, He's getting back in there

1092
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 13: pretty quickly. I think this is a good matchup for

1093
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,480
Speaker 13: him stylistically. So I like Julian Marquz in this one.

1094
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,959
Speaker 7: Sam Alvi's wife, Brittany has become an exceptional MMA mind.

1095
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,279
Speaker 7: I love watching her work that corner. But it's like,

1096
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 7: to me, it's like, give me the guy with zero

1097
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 7: kids fighting the guy with five kids, like every day

1098
00:49:49,520 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 7: of the week. You know, I don't know how the

1099
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:53,319
Speaker 7: Alvis do it. I think they have four kids that

1100
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 7: are their own. They have recently adopted another kid that

1101
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 7: says nothing of the myriad pets they probably have. Like,

1102
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,439
Speaker 7: I just have a lot of respect for these guys.

1103
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 7: And I say this somewhat tongue in cheek, but balancing

1104
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 7: all of that, like Julian Marquez goes home and like

1105
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:09,200
Speaker 7: he can text his girlfriend right, Like Sam Alvi goes

1106
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 7: home and he gets trampled by five children in the

1107
00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,320
Speaker 7: middle of a grueling training camp. Alvi also back in

1108
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 7: eighty five can flow, So he's been doing some of

1109
00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 7: these twenty four hour fasts and things like that. Your

1110
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:23,320
Speaker 7: thoughts on Alvi and Julian markets.

1111
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, but think of the mental strength that both of

1112
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:30,040
Speaker 1: those individuals have. They of all of those kids, I

1113
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: mean next level toughness mentally. I remember, I remember you

1114
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,640
Speaker 1: remember seeing them in Macau, like with both of their kids,

1115
00:50:37,680 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: like these strollers walking.

1116
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:41,279
Speaker 7: I'm like, how how is that happening right now?

1117
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,920
Speaker 6: They would bring their kids to every fight. It's unbelievable. Anyways,

1118
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 6: they're beasts. They're beasts. I listen. I think Marcus gets

1119
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 6: hit way too much.

1120
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 1: This is this is a bet where you know, for

1121
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,600
Speaker 1: almost any Alvi fight, when he is the biggest underdog,

1122
00:50:57,760 --> 00:51:00,000
Speaker 1: that's when he's most dangerous. And I think he's gonna

1123
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:04,200
Speaker 1: be particularly more dangerous considering this could be his last

1124
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,960
Speaker 1: fight in the UFC, So I kind of like it here.

1125
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 1: I think Marcus gets hit a little bit too much.

1126
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 6: I think is.

1127
00:51:10,520 --> 00:51:14,839
Speaker 1: Marcus the better fighter? Yes, the better fighter doesn't always win.

1128
00:51:15,160 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: I'll take my chances with Sam Alvi. I think he's

1129
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: going to be dangerous here, and I think he finds

1130
00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 1: his opportunity to play possum and he lands a big

1131
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 1: one and gets it done here against Marquez.

1132
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:26,800
Speaker 7: And I like that Alvi power in that middleweight division,

1133
00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 7: and when he fights at eighty five, it forces him

1134
00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,600
Speaker 7: to undertake a different type of training camp. So I

1135
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 7: can see why you see value there for smiling Sam

1136
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 7: Alvi and just a good family, just really good people.

1137
00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 7: And the same can be said, of course for the

1138
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 7: good Egg on the other side, Julian Marquez all right.

1139
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,959
Speaker 7: Also at middleweight, aliaskop Hisriev minus one twenty five. Kyle

1140
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:50,080
Speaker 7: Daccas is an even money underdog plus one hundred his

1141
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:53,400
Speaker 7: REEV thirteen and oh and trains under Ray Cepho won

1142
00:51:53,440 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 7: by submission on the Contender Series last year. On the

1143
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 7: other side, Dacas out of Philadelphia, PA, making his third

1144
00:51:58,840 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 7: UFC Star Ian Parker or his Reeb or Daucas for you.

1145
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 13: Still a little thrown off by that in the cow

1146
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,000
Speaker 13: trip with the Alvis now knowing they with five kids,

1147
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:09,959
Speaker 13: I'm I don't even like my kids across the street

1148
00:52:09,960 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 13: at the same time.

1149
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,640
Speaker 7: I mean, I just I just want to say, back

1150
00:52:15,640 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 7: then it was two kids, but they have progressively added

1151
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:23,000
Speaker 7: more children. One of his son's name named, uh names

1152
00:52:23,040 --> 00:52:26,440
Speaker 7: is is Ivyl after Gilbert Ivy. What a fucking power name,

1153
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 7: Ivy Alvi? I mean, are you kidding me? That's a

1154
00:52:28,600 --> 00:52:29,359
Speaker 7: fighter right there.

1155
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's.

1156
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:32,200
Speaker 13: My dad used to say, when you have kids two

1157
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:35,120
Speaker 13: on one, you're even two on two, you're outnumbered. And uh,

1158
00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:37,160
Speaker 13: I don't even know what he would have said about

1159
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:40,080
Speaker 13: Alvi five kids. God blessed the guy, and I know, yeah,

1160
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:42,760
Speaker 13: all right, anyway, sorry about that. How do you pronounce

1161
00:52:42,760 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 13: the Russian guy's name again? I know Cody did a

1162
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 13: pretty good job.

1163
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:48,680
Speaker 7: As we say, the black Wolf, but you can go

1164
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:51,400
Speaker 7: h his reeb if you don't mind his Reev.

1165
00:52:51,440 --> 00:52:52,960
Speaker 13: Okay, I'm gonna do my best here with that one.

1166
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,000
Speaker 13: His I'm gonna go black Wolf. Let's just be honesty.

1167
00:52:57,080 --> 00:52:59,480
Speaker 13: I suck at that of the name stuff. All right,

1168
00:52:59,560 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 13: So this one's really tough. You know, Dowcas is funt

1169
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:04,880
Speaker 13: a little bit better competition. I know with the Black

1170
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 13: Wolf he was on the Contender series, uh, you know,

1171
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 13: but his level of competition, he thought this is this

1172
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:12,560
Speaker 13: is really a pick him at its finest. To me,

1173
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,000
Speaker 13: I'm gonna go with who I think is just the

1174
00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:17,359
Speaker 13: better submission guy, and I'm gonna go with black Wolf here.

1175
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 13: I just think what he's done on the ground, the

1176
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 13: way he advanced in position. I think Doccas gets a

1177
00:53:21,680 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 13: little too comfortable in positions where he's held down for

1178
00:53:24,239 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 13: a little bit of time. And this is really a

1179
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:29,000
Speaker 13: coin flip, you know, this one really is. So I'm

1180
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:30,920
Speaker 13: going to go in that direction, Kenny.

1181
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,520
Speaker 7: It's interesting to talk to different MMA handicappers as to

1182
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,880
Speaker 7: how they approach a fight like this or others. You know,

1183
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:39,800
Speaker 7: some look at age, some look at other different factors.

1184
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,560
Speaker 7: I think you can't discount the UFC experience for Kyle Daccas.

1185
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 7: But one thing other cappers will also look at is,

1186
00:53:46,480 --> 00:53:50,239
Speaker 7: all right, this guy hisriev is getting a huge opportunity

1187
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 7: on ABC for his UFC debut. So why is that

1188
00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 7: undefeated fighter is he getting a promotional push here. I mean,

1189
00:53:56,680 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 7: Doccas is super tough and credentialed like but there's a reason,

1190
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 7: and this fight is on the main card promotion, probably

1191
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,640
Speaker 7: forecasting fireworks. How do you see it planing?

1192
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:09,960
Speaker 1: It's the promotion saying, hey, mma, fans, do you want

1193
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:10,840
Speaker 1: to see some blood?

1194
00:54:11,080 --> 00:54:11,560
Speaker 7: Come to me?

1195
00:54:12,160 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 6: This is one of those fights. It's going to be

1196
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:16,520
Speaker 6: so violent. Both of these.

1197
00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:17,880
Speaker 7: Guys get after it.

1198
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 6: Doccas tough as hell. His tough as hell.

1199
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,279
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen the Black Wolves fights, go do

1200
00:54:24,360 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 1: yourself a favorite and watch them.

1201
00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,240
Speaker 6: This guy is a tremendous.

1202
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: Fighter, excellent ground and pound, brutal on the feet as well.

1203
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 6: He gets after it.

1204
00:54:34,680 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 1: He's got killer instinct. This guy is someone to watch.

1205
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: He's Dougaistani. The Daugustanis have been taking over many different

1206
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:47,360
Speaker 1: promotions here, and you know he's not going to be,

1207
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, spooked by the lights.

1208
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:50,520
Speaker 6: This guy is ready to go.

1209
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 1: But he is facing a very tough guy in Ducas,

1210
00:54:53,520 --> 00:54:57,440
Speaker 1: who's well rounded and big for the weight class as well. However,

1211
00:54:57,760 --> 00:55:01,000
Speaker 1: I think hisrae is poised to to take this one.

1212
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 1: I do think it's gonna get violent and gonna get

1213
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,279
Speaker 1: violent early but I do like hisriev here.

1214
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 7: Don't forget. Main cards start three pm Eastern time in

1215
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 7: the US, noon Pacific on ABC. And I was reminded

1216
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,440
Speaker 7: of that fact by our beautiful ticker with all of

1217
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 7: those betting lines. See Ian knows me well, you know,

1218
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 7: I'm so distracted by the ticker Ken flows giving you

1219
00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:23,360
Speaker 7: fucking gold, and all I can look at is the

1220
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:26,240
Speaker 7: goddamn ticker with the odds all Right. Cole main event

1221
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 7: on the American Broadcasting Company matches up a couple of

1222
00:55:28,719 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 7: rank fighters at featherweight. We're gonna have Ken fl leiad

1223
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,680
Speaker 7: on the co main event and the main event as

1224
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 7: he is trailing on the scoreboard, Sadiq Yusef minus one thirty,

1225
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 7: Arnold Allen plus one ten Kenny Allen looking to move

1226
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 7: to eight to ohero in the UFC Yusuff still unblemish

1227
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:46,359
Speaker 7: there as well, four to oo in the octagon. What

1228
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,239
Speaker 7: a fight, What a matchup? Kenny? Who wins it? And

1229
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 7: how do they get it done?

1230
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a really good fight, and this

1231
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:54,879
Speaker 1: is a tough one for me to pick. I think

1232
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: Arnold Allen has really made some good strides with his striking.

1233
00:55:59,239 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 1: I think he's in his grappling as well. Sadiq Usef

1234
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 1: is an excellent striker. He's very fast, he knows how

1235
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: to put it all together. Not too shabby on the ground.

1236
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: I think he might have the advantage on the ground

1237
00:56:11,040 --> 00:56:13,719
Speaker 1: against someone like Arnold Allen, but Alan is tough to

1238
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:17,960
Speaker 1: keep him down and keep him on his back. Alan's

1239
00:56:18,040 --> 00:56:21,080
Speaker 1: very dangerous, but I just think that Sadik Usef is

1240
00:56:21,120 --> 00:56:25,440
Speaker 1: a little bit more so. I think he's faced tougher

1241
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: competition overall. I think he's probably prone to maybe less

1242
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: mistakes out there, but this one's close.

1243
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 6: But I gotta go with Sadiq Usef. I think he

1244
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,160
Speaker 6: gets it done by decision.

1245
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,880
Speaker 7: Both excellent fighters, both thinking mans fighters. I want to

1246
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 7: tell a quick story on Sadiq yusef Ian before I

1247
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:47,560
Speaker 7: lay out for you. So comes from a polygamous family

1248
00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 7: in Nigeria forour mother's one father. His mom is his hero, rightfully,

1249
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:55,800
Speaker 7: so hard working woman instilled a lot of good things

1250
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 7: in Sadik. But his older siblings didn't get visitation visa.

1251
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 7: So Sadek and his mom came to the US and

1252
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 7: those siblings are still in Nigeria. They have been there

1253
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:06,440
Speaker 7: without their mother for the better part of twenty years.

1254
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,600
Speaker 7: Sadiq filled a car with goods and shifted it home

1255
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,240
Speaker 7: so that they could open up a store and sell

1256
00:57:12,280 --> 00:57:15,560
Speaker 7: these goods. Store got robbed. So when I sit down

1257
00:57:15,600 --> 00:57:18,160
Speaker 7: with Sadik, we get an update on this situation. Are

1258
00:57:18,160 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 7: the siblings here yet? What's the navigation been?

1259
00:57:20,640 --> 00:57:20,760
Speaker 8: Like?

1260
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 7: It's a crazy story, and it's crazy what a lot

1261
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 7: of these athletes are balancing. And we talk so much

1262
00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,560
Speaker 7: in this day and age about you know, what's your why,

1263
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,680
Speaker 7: what's your inspiration? And no shortage of it obviously for

1264
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 7: Sadiq yusef, what are your thoughts on him though as

1265
00:57:33,680 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 7: a fighter ian? And how do you handicap this matchup

1266
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,080
Speaker 7: with with Arnold Allen?

1267
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:39,520
Speaker 3: Well, now I feel like a dick.

1268
00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 13: I was going to pick against him if you hear

1269
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,280
Speaker 13: from that story, I want to go donate to his family.

1270
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:47,360
Speaker 13: Right well, listen, you know, it's kind of amazing when

1271
00:57:47,360 --> 00:57:48,920
Speaker 13: you bring up these stories that we hear about a

1272
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,320
Speaker 13: lot of these guys, because you can't even imagine how

1273
00:57:51,360 --> 00:57:53,919
Speaker 13: are they doing fighting professionally, doing anything of that nature

1274
00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 13: when they deal with such like I hate see real

1275
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 13: life stuff. You know, it's you don't hear about this

1276
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 13: that much and other sports. I hate to say it

1277
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 13: like that. You know, these other sports, these guys are

1278
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 13: getting the money, the endorsements, and then these guys are

1279
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,520
Speaker 13: fighting for their families, you know, and really truly internationally,

1280
00:58:09,520 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 13: it's kind of crazy. I think se Yusuf is a

1281
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 13: fantastic fighter, you know. I think he has come a

1282
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,439
Speaker 13: long way on In his fight against Andre Feeley, showed

1283
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:17,439
Speaker 13: a lot of grit and a lot of heart.

1284
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 3: There's something about Arnold Allen though.

1285
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 13: That I think stylistically this one as an underdog is

1286
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 13: kind of appealing to me. In the striking, Yusuf's gonna

1287
00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 13: have the power. Listen when he throws down the pipe.

1288
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:32,280
Speaker 13: It's scary when he connects. You hear it, even when

1289
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 13: there were fans in the building, you hear it. I

1290
00:58:34,920 --> 00:58:37,520
Speaker 13: disagree with Kenny respectfully on who's better on the ground.

1291
00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 13: I think Allen's entry is a little bit better. I

1292
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 13: think he will be actually the physically stronger fighter. I

1293
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 13: think his angles on his entries off of his overhand

1294
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,960
Speaker 13: right are going to be helpful. And I think against

1295
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 13: the cage he will be the better grappler. But then

1296
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:50,480
Speaker 13: you got Usuf at the knees.

1297
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,560
Speaker 3: This one's a really tough one. Excuse me the cap.

1298
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 13: I think this fight goes over on a betting standpoint,

1299
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,120
Speaker 13: I don't think either one gets to finish. So if

1300
00:58:57,120 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 13: you want to talk about capping and being responsible betting,

1301
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 13: to me that that's the way to go. I'm gonna

1302
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 13: go with a little bit of the underdog here. I'm

1303
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 13: gonna go with double A. I just think that handspeed

1304
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 13: Yusuf is just a scary guy. I just think that

1305
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 13: he also does he doesn't throw as much. I think Alan,

1306
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,040
Speaker 13: with the output in the cardio, will be the better fighter.

1307
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,600
Speaker 7: All Right, big swing, says our main event challenge, as

1308
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 7: those guys disagree on what is a critically important featherweight

1309
00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:22,440
Speaker 7: co Maine event for both parties. All Right, main event

1310
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 7: Marvin the Italian Dream victory minus three thirty five, Kevin

1311
00:59:25,840 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 7: Trailblazer Holland plus two fifty five. So if you don't know,

1312
00:59:29,400 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 7: Darren Till broke his collarbone in steps the promotional workhorse,

1313
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,200
Speaker 7: Holland just spot Derek Brunson in a main event sixteen

1314
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:38,000
Speaker 7: days ago, that effort halting his winning streak at five.

1315
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 7: Kenny spoke, of course, of not caring about winning the belt.

1316
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,400
Speaker 7: Didn't sit well with some, but here he is with

1317
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:46,600
Speaker 7: another huge opportunity against one of the best middleweights in

1318
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 7: the world in Marvin Vittori. Ken Flow. Who wins the

1319
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,000
Speaker 7: main event on ABC and how do they get it done?

1320
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:56,840
Speaker 1: If I'm not mistaken, I believe Marvin Vittori was the

1321
00:59:56,960 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: exact name I used to that if Kevin Holland did

1322
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 1: that against someone like, let's say a Marvin Vittori, Vittori's

1323
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: gonna go out there and try to kill him like

1324
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: he's not going to put it, put up with talking

1325
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: and exchange back and forth.

1326
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 6: I think that's only going to make him more dangerous.

1327
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: He's going to start to turn into the incredible hulk

1328
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:20,560
Speaker 1: and just smash and I think that's what's gonna happen here.

1329
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,959
Speaker 1: I don't think Kevin Holland is prepared for the kind

1330
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: of ferocity that Marvin Vittori brings inside the octagon. You know,

1331
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Vittori might not be the most technical fighter in the world,

1332
01:00:32,280 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: but he's got enough to hurt anybody in that division.

1333
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 1: He's huge. He is going to be significantly larger and

1334
01:00:40,440 --> 01:00:44,080
Speaker 1: stronger than Kevin Holland. I don't think he's going to

1335
01:00:44,160 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: be phased by the talk. I think he's going to

1336
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 1: take him down and just try to tko him right.

1337
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: And I think he can get it down on the field.

1338
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 1: He can get it done on the feet as well.

1339
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,200
Speaker 1: Kevin Holland, if he's lazy with his footwork like he

1340
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: was against Derek Brunson and trying to look for just

1341
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,400
Speaker 1: kind of one shot and he's not putting together combinations,

1342
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 1: it's just not going to be enough to take out

1343
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: someone like the Tory. I think Victory gets it done

1344
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,360
Speaker 1: relatively easily and quickly. I like viry uh, let's go

1345
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:13,000
Speaker 1: round two TKO.

1346
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:15,920
Speaker 7: Round two t KO potentially via the ground and pound

1347
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 7: is the way Ken Flow sees it for Marvin Vittori.

1348
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 7: Don't have the propositions out right now. Ian, I think

1349
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 7: some people might look at Kevin Holland by submission, maybe

1350
01:01:24,200 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 7: catching something off of his back potentially if he gets

1351
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 7: put there. What are your thoughts on this main event

1352
01:01:29,120 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 7: and ultimately which side are you on?

1353
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:34,480
Speaker 3: I'm curious what Kenny had for breakfast.

1354
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 13: I've heard a lot about violence and blood and ferocity today, Kenny.

1355
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: This whole card is insane, though, I mean just the

1356
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,080
Speaker 1: way that these guys match up. I think there's gonna

1357
01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,000
Speaker 1: be a lot of blood in the octagon. Man, I'm serious.

1358
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 7: It's because he now signed about agreement to compete for

1359
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 7: the BFL. He can tell the fighter is back.

1360
01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:55,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one read Kenny's actual contract.

1361
01:01:55,800 --> 01:01:57,640
Speaker 13: It's I'm gonna call the first fight, but fight the

1362
01:01:57,680 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 13: second one, exactly.

1363
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,959
Speaker 3: I Ken, Kenny's gonna win the tournament. Kenny, You're gonna

1364
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,920
Speaker 3: win it. I got my money on you. You're gonna

1365
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 3: call your own fight while you're winning.

1366
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:10,840
Speaker 1: That'd be fan So I'm so old, it's not even funny.

1367
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 3: I think you should do it. You look good, bro.

1368
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:15,760
Speaker 13: No one's guessing Kenny's age if they don't know who

1369
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 13: Kenny Florian is. But I'm sorry, there's no way they're

1370
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 13: guessing your age.

1371
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:19,840
Speaker 6: But anyway, that's true, that's true.

1372
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 8: All right.

1373
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 13: Here's my only concern from Marvin Ventoria Victoria in this

1374
01:02:24,360 --> 01:02:26,880
Speaker 13: fight is Kevin Holland's range and his speed on the feet.

1375
01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:28,760
Speaker 13: You know, Victory gets hit a lot in the fight

1376
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 13: against Jack Cromanson. He got hit a lot, and he

1377
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 13: wasn't able to put Jack out, and there was a

1378
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 13: few times where he caught him. You know, we haven't

1379
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,040
Speaker 13: seen Holland get put out, even in that in that

1380
01:02:38,160 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 13: last fight where Brunson was dominating him. So whichever way

1381
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,800
Speaker 13: this goes, I think this goes the full distance. You know,

1382
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,840
Speaker 13: I've seen Holland finish people. Vic Tory hasn't really done

1383
01:02:47,880 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 13: that in a little bit. Should he dominate this fight

1384
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 13: on the ground?

1385
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1386
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 13: Can Holland pull it off a submission vit Tory was

1387
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,280
Speaker 13: able to get out of that with Jack with with Jack,

1388
01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 13: you know, and Jack. I think he's actually a better

1389
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 13: submission artist than Kevin Holland. I just don't know what

1390
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 13: Kevin Holland were really getting here. Did he really learn

1391
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:04,960
Speaker 13: anything from that last fight? Is he still gonna be

1392
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,480
Speaker 13: you know, I get the gimmick of the talking. It's cool,

1393
01:03:07,520 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 13: but when you talk it don't do anything. It's not cute,

1394
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,000
Speaker 13: you know it Really it made him look foolish. It

1395
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 13: made him and especially in that type of spotlight and

1396
01:03:14,360 --> 01:03:16,720
Speaker 13: with a stylistic fight with Brunson, who doesn't come out

1397
01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:18,600
Speaker 13: with a ton of volume, that should have been his

1398
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,919
Speaker 13: fight to showcase. And good for Derek Brunson for taking

1399
01:03:20,920 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 13: advantage of being smart and grinding it out. I think

1400
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:26,440
Speaker 13: Victory should put put him on his back. I don't

1401
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:28,120
Speaker 13: think he should stay on the feet, you know. I

1402
01:03:28,120 --> 01:03:30,200
Speaker 13: think the Kenny's point put him against the cage, get

1403
01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 13: him like, just grind it out. And that's how I

1404
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:35,040
Speaker 13: think Victory does. That left hand looks good. We said

1405
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,120
Speaker 13: that in the jackfight that left hand would come in handy. Here,

1406
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 13: the way Holland throws with his hands down, he should

1407
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 13: get tagged a bunch of times. So I'm gonna say

1408
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 13: Martin Vittori by decision, you know. But again, if Kevin

1409
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 13: Holland fights like he can and be at range and

1410
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,680
Speaker 13: keep his distance, he could give the twike it steal

1411
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:52,920
Speaker 13: a few rounds. You know, It's just a matter of again,

1412
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 13: is Holland gonna take this seriously? What adjustment says he

1413
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 13: made over what you know, two weeks? But Vittory is

1414
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,479
Speaker 13: a scary guy. He was gary before being pissed off.

1415
01:04:01,560 --> 01:04:05,240
Speaker 13: He's even scarcter when off. Yeah, and for that reason,

1416
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 13: you know, I will also go Martin Victory, but I'll

1417
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 13: go by decision.

1418
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,479
Speaker 7: A few fighter meetings ago, we sat down with Kevin

1419
01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 7: Holland and he spoke of taking a few months off

1420
01:04:12,600 --> 01:04:14,880
Speaker 7: to build his body up to middleweight, to try to

1421
01:04:14,920 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 7: put on like eight or ten pounds of muscle and

1422
01:04:16,960 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 7: really move up to eighty five with finality. Obviously, his

1423
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 7: number keeps being called and that hasn't materialized. But I'm

1424
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,520
Speaker 7: going to be curious to sit down with him now

1425
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 7: that he's had a little bit of time to assess

1426
01:04:29,160 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 7: what happened with Derek Brunson. But big opportunity for Kevin Holland.

1427
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 7: And of course, if any fighter is deserving of an

1428
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,360
Speaker 7: ABC showcase like this, it's Marvin Vttori, who is just

1429
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 7: so skilled and wants it so badly you can't help

1430
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 7: but root for the guy a little bit, all right,

1431
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:45,400
Speaker 7: at Ian Parker Mma, if you want more from the duck,

1432
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,960

1435
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 13: I just want to congratulate Kenny. I haven't been able

1436
01:04:56,400 --> 01:04:58,479
Speaker 13: to do that on the show yet. Welcome, welcome back.

Speaker 7: It's unbelievable.

1440

Speaker 3: He's gonna come out on a lucha mask, take it

1441
01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:07,640
Speaker 3: off and into the cage.
