62
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: on your behalf about our great, great international customers, whether

63
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: we're talking anywhere from Canada to India and in between.

64
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: We're working on a solution to get you the merch

65
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 1: that you deserve.

66
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,639
Speaker 2: And by the way, I had people right me being

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: like can we get the MK gear just without your

68
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,520
Speaker 2: names on it. I had several of those, and I

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: was like, I mean, I understand the sentiment, but I

70
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: don't know there's there's there's I'll tell you this one,

71
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: tell you this much. If you start buying this gear

72
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: the next round, there'll be plenty of room for innovation changes,

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: so to speak. So just by what we have, will

74
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: you please?

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: For cry I don't I don't see our competition dressed

76
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: up in their own merch all right, you know what

77
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: I mean? So f them as a staff, record label

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: and as a crew, and if you want to be

79
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: down with them, then f you too. All right, GINO

80
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: XL you know what I'm talking about here, Okay, all.

81
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: Of you can die. All right, let's get the show

82
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: started if we can. Five major topics. Let's start with

83
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,839
Speaker 2: the first one, which comes to us as a consequence

84
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: of Saturday's UFC fight card. Now, on paper, was not

85
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: the best fight card in general. I would say it

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 2: over delivered relative to its expectations, although even then some

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: of the fights were a bit of a dud. But

88
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 2: in the main event women's flyweight contest, Jessica Ey Cynthia

89
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: Calvi Jo and As the result, Cynthia emerges with a

90
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 2: clear decision win in her first jump up to one

91
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five pounds. The fight went the full distance.

92
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 2: She looked pretty strong, She looked pretty good. To me.

93
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 2: It was clearly her fight by the time the fifth

94
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 2: round had expired. BC. Now that she has gone from

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 2: one point fifteen to one hundred and twenty five pounds,

96
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 2: she beat a previous title contender in this weight class.

97
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 2: Let's just ask the question, is Cynthia a clear flyweight

98
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: title contender in your mind?

99
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 3: One hundred percent, Luke. And here's the hard truth.

100
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 1: Right this division it's shallow, even go as far as

101
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: saying it blows right. It's Valentina, Chefchenko and everyone else

102
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: until someone really defines himself as a legitimate threat. And

103
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,920
Speaker 1: by the way, Saturday night was a very big night.

104
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: More on that to come in the women's flyweight division.

105
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: Even if she hadn't looked this good, you would say

106
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: she's an instant contender because she's a name, she has

107
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: a great record. But you gotta give her credit for

108
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: what she did. Say what you will about Jessica I.

109
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 1: There's a lot of one step forward, two steps back

110
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: in her career, but she's a big flyweight. She's as

111
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: tough enout as you can come. And to see cal

112
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: Vio have the success on the feet, go five rounds

113
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: for the first time, and most importantly, Luke mix in

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: the wrestling in such opportune times. The timing of the

115
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: takedowns was perfect. Her ability to really just smother Jessica

116
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: iye and come close to a couple potential fight ending submissions.

117
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a dominant performance from start to finish,

118
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: pretty much after that somewhat close first round in which

119
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: they traded jabs in right hands.

120
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: We need we need this division to create.

121
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: Whether somebody who is marketable, somebody who is a threat,

122
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: or somebody that can be both. We need players in

123
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: this division not not trying to do a full backhanded

124
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: disrespect to the Jetsica Eyes, the Caitlin Chukegans of the world,

125
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: but Luke, they're not title threats, even though they can

126
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: be highly ranked title contenders.

127
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 3: I don't know if Cynthia Calvio can be a.

128
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: Threat for someone as great as Chevchenko, but I'm willing

129
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,799
Speaker 1: to find out. Because Calvio's got a motor, she's tough,

130
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 1: she seems to be pretty smart in there and how

131
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: she broke down this fight. So it's a big win

132
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 1: for flyweight. And that's not even getting into Maria Maria right.

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: It reminds me of a West Side story. Indeed, Agapova

134
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 1: may have stolen this entire night, Luke, and I know

135
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 1: you believe that.

136
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: Yes, like one of the members of the Jets and

137
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 2: the Sharks BC fell in love with a girl named Maria.

138
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: But getting back to this particular case with Cynthia, you know,

139
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: here's the funny thing. It's like when she won, to me,

140
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, she did everything that she was

141
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 2: probably supposed to. I mean, she didn't get the finish suppose,

142
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: but she looked great, as you mentioned, twenty five minutes

143
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 2: full motor for the whole thing, obviously up a weight class.

144
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 2: The cut itself was not a particular challenge. I had

145
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: spoken to her earlier in the week. She had told

146
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: me how much better she felt with a new team.

147
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: She was getting all of that worked out now over

148
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: at AKA, previously a team Alpha Male. So I think

149
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: if you are Cynthia, you look at this and you

150
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: say to yourself, wow, there's a lot of things that

151
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: went right here. I just also think we got to

152
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: hold our horses. I like the new fresh blood in

153
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: that division. I like what she brings to me. It's

154
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 2: a much more interesting fight potentially if she can get

155
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 2: past chew Kegang, which she may have to face her next,

156
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: then chew kegan for Chevchenko. At the same time, did

157
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 2: I really see anything that would tell me she's a

158
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 2: real clear threat to Chevchenko? No, not really read. I mean,

159
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: here's the thing. It's like when when Cynthia came into

160
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: the UFC, Dude, she was hitting gator rolls off anacondas,

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: and then when the anacona didn't work, she would use

162
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: it like to take the back or to flip people over.

163
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 2: I mean, she was doing all kinds of really aggressive,

164
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: interesting things in the grappling apartment. She's certainly much more

165
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: well rounded now, probably because she has to be, But

166
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 2: I don't know that her game is more dynamic even

167
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 2: if it is more well rounded, which sounds contradictory, but

168
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: when you think about it actually makes sense. So I

169
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 2: respect what she's done in growing her overall skill set

170
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: and the way she beat Iye, which you know fairly

171
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 2: thoroughly to me, tells you she can jump to the

172
00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: front of that division and create for a new and

173
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: interesting challenge right away.

174
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: You want to have real talk.

175
00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: This is what Luke Thomas is saying. You want to

176
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 3: have real talk.

177
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: The real talk is that there is a ceiling for

178
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: how good she can get, and that ceiling, as far

179
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: as our eyes can tell us, cannot touch Valentina Chefchenko.

180
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're saying, and I don't.

181
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 2: Disagree, Luke, but I'm not saying it's so much the ceiling,

182
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 2: because the ceiling would say that we kind of know

183
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: either what the limit looks like or she's hit it.

184
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm a little bit pumping the brakes on that. I'm

185
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: just saying what we saw with I was great. I'm

186
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 2: not here to undercut it at all. I'm just saying,

187
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,960
Speaker 2: given how good that is, and it seemed to be,

188
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: you know, a pretty full throated effort. What did you

189
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,599
Speaker 2: see that that told you that was gonna be a

190
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: tough challenge for chef Chenko. That's not necessarily anything.

191
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I think that's so then there's a natural transition there

192
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:12,559
Speaker 1: to Maria Agapova, because what I saw there, Luken, look,

193
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 1: it's one fight, it's r UFC debut, right like, shout

194
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: out to h to a great victory. But what I

195
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: did see there was the potential at some of those

196
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,000
Speaker 1: next level things that you're going to need to eventually

197
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 1: compete or have a chance of competing with somebody as

198
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: jeff Chenko. So to see Agtpova twenty three years old,

199
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 1: right from Kazakhstan just come in there with so much

200
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: damn swagger, Luke, just dripping swagger. You made a great

201
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: point on Twitter that there was a reminder of a

202
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: young Yoanna John Chaychek from the fluidity of striking and

203
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: the aggression.

204
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,440
Speaker 3: But I just saw not only a future star.

205
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think I've seen someone that strong

206
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: in the force in a long time. And it scared

207
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: me then and it scares me even more now. She

208
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: had that thing that I saw in Connor McGregor's first

209
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 1: two fight, that I saw in early Ronda Rousey's strikeforce,

210
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: that thing where you're like, oh my god, there's something

211
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: here that's going to grow very large and.

212
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fun to see, Luke.

213
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: Because this division has no identity beyond Valentina, I don't

214
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: know if Marie is the real goods. Obviously that's only

215
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,440
Speaker 1: going to be the proof inside the cage. But talk

216
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: about somebody who gets me excited, and not for the

217
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: reasons that you think I'm getting excited, Luke, there is

218
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:27,319
Speaker 1: a fighter with a style and a flash.

219
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 3: And an aura that we need to get on board with.

220
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about it. She looked tremendous. And you

221
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 2: mentioned the Connor McGregor sort of overlap starting super strong

222
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: bell rings. She's already in range, already knows what to do.

223
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,600
Speaker 2: Areolating her game fly And I've always talked about this.

224
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 2: In modern MMA, it's hard to take someone down and

225
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,680
Speaker 2: beat them up and then pass, and then take the

226
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 2: back and choke them out. And you can say, well

227
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 2: we see that every weekend, right, It's just difficult to do.

228
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 2: You have to get the takedown. You have to hold

229
00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 2: them down, you have to methodically pass, you have to

230
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: wait for them to make an error, force them into one.

231
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 2: It gets done. It's just a really labor intensive way

232
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 2: to find a submission. You also find people though, on

233
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 2: the other side BC that will light you up. Wait

234
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 2: for the tiniest mistake and then snatch submissions, leap into position,

235
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 2: grab a hold of them. You saw that with Maria

236
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 2: Agopova here jumping on the back, immediately firing into the choke,

237
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: snatching Hannah Seipher's off of her base. Again. She seemed

238
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: a little raw in other parts of her game, but

239
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 2: as you mentioned twenty three years old, Hungary, we could

240
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 2: have a Kyrghyzstan versus Kazakhstan BATTLEBC. That's what I'm talking

241
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 2: about here, these people. I'm telling you women's MMA, and

242
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: it deserves to be mentioned here. How many times have

243
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 2: you seen a top contender in the UFC that has

244
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 2: some kind of Invicta FC background. Dude, it is constant.

245
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 2: We don't say it enough, but I don't know where

246
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 2: the women's MMA game would be were it not for

247
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: what Invicta FC is doing, from recruiting talent to grooming

248
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 2: them to showcasing them all the levels in between. We

249
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: really owe a major debt of attitude to them. Of course,

250
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 2: Maria Agopova's talented in her own right. I'm simply saying

251
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 2: every time you see someone of these like fresh contenders,

252
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: whether it's Strawwaight or band Someway or flyweight, they all

253
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 2: seem to have some background for crying out loud and

254
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 2: in Victor FC. So I'm very grateful because they seem

255
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: to have found her, got her ready for the stage,

256
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: and she was shot out of a cannon on Saturday.

257
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: And that just you know, quickly, this is a testament

258
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 3: to hard work.

259
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,720
Speaker 1: While a lot of what I liked out of Maria

260
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: seemed to be like natural sort of you know, movement

261
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: in size and all that. You know, to hear her

262
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,440
Speaker 1: story of going to the Dana Why Contender series, losing

263
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,920
Speaker 1: admitting she she just wasn't ready and lost, going back

264
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: to Invicta, getting fights in other organizations, and then coming

265
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: back ready right, moving her life to att in South

266
00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Florida and really committing. It's a it's a you know,

267
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 1: a little inspiring story there. We'll see where the future

268
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: brings us. As you know, Luke, you're pretty much one

269
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: great win away from getting into the top five at

270
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: any point at women's flyweight.

271
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: All right, Jay wants us to move on. But before

272
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,839
Speaker 2: we do, very quickly, be see Marvin Vettori score to

273
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: win in the co main event. A bit of a

274
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: back and forth kind of scrambling fested middleweight before Vittori

275
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: kind of put his stamp on things. Although I would

276
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: say it wasn't all that back and forth. Roberson's athletic

277
00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 2: had a couple of decent escapes or moments where he

278
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 2: got free, but really the guy who was defining the

279
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,559
Speaker 2: tenor of the ground exchanges in general was Marvin Vittori.

280
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: The question is is he the dark horse at one

281
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five pounds. I have to tell you BC,

282
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: I think that he is. He's been offer, you know,

283
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 2: and inconsistent in terms of a frequency of competition, and

284
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 2: he had that loss to Attasignia. But you go back

285
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 2: and you watch that that was competitive like he's He

286
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: actually did pretty well. He wasn't as technically smooth obviously

287
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 2: as out of Signia, but he's a big, strong kid.

288
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 2: His game is getting better. He trains over at MMA,

289
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 2: kings kicks him excuse me with Hafel Cordero. He's he's

290
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: a good fighter, you know, and can he be great?

291
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 2: I don't know. Some time will tell, But what I

292
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 2: saw here was the things that he naturally does pretty well,

293
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 2: they got better. He stuck to a game plan. He

294
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 2: must have had all the nerves in the world. Little

295
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 2: flat footed on the on his feet, so I think

296
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 2: he has to kind of move a way from the

297
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:06,240
Speaker 2: aggression slash meat headedness into a more cerebral posture quite

298
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: literally and then strategically. But does he have the goods

299
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 2: to give people in the top five problems? I actually

300
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 2: think that he does. I would like to see where

301
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 2: he can go from here.

302
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, great tattoo game. On top of that, you mentioned

303
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: something interesting there about you know, can he sort of

304
00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: calm himself down a bit to level out and round

305
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: out his game? And I thought by the way that

306
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: this performance offered him some of those opportunities, right, He

307
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 1: didn't just walk through there and knock him out.

308
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: He had to show his ground game, He had to

309
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: show his patience.

310
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 1: But he's one of those rare fighters, Luke who seems

311
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: to thrive on the idea of drama and emotions, you know.

312
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 1: And we saw him attack Robertson in the hotel ahead

313
00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: of the falling out of their first schedule about and

314
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: then to see him this whole week be fired the

315
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: hell up at all times. You know, you kind of

316
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: wondered if he was going to go out there and

317
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 1: maybe be a bit too jacked up, and he wasn't.

318
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 3: This is a ferocious guy. Could he be the dark horse?

319
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: It's very possible, but I want to see him now

320
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: against an elite he was taught about.

321
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: You know, I think I'm ready for a top ten.

322
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: I'd almost want to put him in there with a

323
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: top five because he has that performance against Audis Sonya.

324
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 3: And yes it was a loss.

325
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be a truther and say, you know,

326
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I did score that for him. It was a close

327
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 1: but very competitive fight. I think he's shown you in

328
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:21,040
Speaker 1: small doses because he's been able to stay consistent out

329
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: of you know, things outside of his power, that he

330
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: does have the potential to be a top five fighter.

331
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: I kind of want to find out right now, Luke,

332
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: if that's true, because you know, Atisanya showed you flashes

333
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: right now, he's a special different fighter. I'm not comparing

334
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: the two, but once Adisnia showed you those legit top

335
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: five flashes, he got pushed to the forefront and got

336
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: a chance to find out. And you do have to wonder,

337
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: if you're a Victorian, I'm sure this is something that

338
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: fuels him. How would the future be different right now

339
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 1: had he gotten that decision over out of Sonya. I'm

340
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 1: not saying he would have followed that same path and

341
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: gotten the same chances and knocked out the same people.

342
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 1: But you do wonder how different things would be. I

343
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: want to find out right now if this guy is

344
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: the Goods.

345
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, everyone has their time, and that was out of

346
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: Signs time. But maybe Vittori's is coming up. I'm not

347
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 2: to say. I'm not here to say that's not true.

348
00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 2: It seems very very plausible. Okay, we go now to

349
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: topic number two. BC. We know about Fight Island. It exists.

350
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: It's Abu Dhabi. It's not much more complicated than that.

351
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 2: It's Yas Island on Abu Dhabi. It's not some beachfront

352
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 2: affair in the middle of you know, next to Guam

353
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: or something. It's not Jeffrey Epstein's private island. It's not

354
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 2: it's not any of those things. It's just Ya's Island.

355
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 2: They've been there twice. This will be a third, fourth, fifth,

356
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 2: and sixth time, I suppose. All right, so there's a

357
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 2: lot to unpack here. Let's start with the crown jewel

358
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: of the slate of four cards are going to have

359
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,680
Speaker 2: in the span of three weeks BC three title fights

360
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 2: at UFC two fifty one from folks who may I

361
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 2: know Walter Wait title up for Grabs champion Kamar Rusman

362
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: taking on Gilbert Burns Featherway title Up for Grabs champion

363
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 2: Volkanovski Versus Holloway. This is the immediate rematch from their

364
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 2: first bout and last, but not least certainly Peter Yan

365
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 2: Josaldo for the vacant bansamweight title. What do you make

366
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 2: of Fight Island? What do you make of two point

367
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: fifty one? What do you make of the UFC's push

368
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: in July? Unpack all this for me, bucause.

369
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:11,920
Speaker 3: That's a loaded question.

370
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 1: A lot of angles here, Look first and foremost, Look,

371
00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I gotta say it. High five to Dana

372
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 1: on bringing it. This is the international fight week week

373
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: right July eleventh, when we expect loaded fight cards, multiple

374
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,400
Speaker 1: title bouts, and we're in the middle of a quarantine

375
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 1: and like he always complains, he's barely keeping the train

376
00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: on the track. Yet we're getting a freaking fantastic pay

377
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: per view July eleventh, all things considered, three title fights,

378
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: and by the way, the other two fights on that

379
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: main card are hot fire when you consider Noma unis

380
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: andraje two and also Paige vans Aant taking a really

381
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: hard fight against Amanda hebis So, I love the crap

382
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: out of that. I love that in a quarantine, Data

383
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: is not mailing it in. Look, I said from the

384
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 1: very beginning, and I wasn't sure about it. I said

385
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 1: when we were rightfully criticizing Data for being so bold

386
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: and almost wreckles in Taichi Palace and all that we've

387
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: been through, that that there was potential that he comes

388
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,239
Speaker 1: out of this as a Robin hood in the end.

389
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: And Luke, I'm sorry he is right now. I know

390
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: there's a fighter pay argument. We're gonna get into that

391
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: again soon. But he's keeping you know, me employed and busy,

392
00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: you the same, and he's not only outpacing his competitors

393
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: and boxing and in the team sports, he's putting out

394
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: really great stuff.

395
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:25,879
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna say shout up to that.

396
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: If f last Saturday's card, the Eye Calvio one was

397
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 1: the worst that we'll see this year, I'm sorry.

398
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 3: It ain't that bad, Okay. But with that said, Luke,

399
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 3: an absolute bait and switch on Fight Island.

400
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: This is an absolute let me, you know, hype up

401
00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: something that really wasn't there. Not only is Ya's Island,

402
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: the same island as like Manhattan, being an island in

403
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 1: New York. They've already been there a few times on

404
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: that same property, like this is this is crap.

405
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 3: And for Dana in interviews, you know.

406
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 1: Saturday at the postfight press conference in Vegas, to sort

407
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: of laugh at the media and be like, oh, well

408
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,800
Speaker 1: there's new media covering us now, and you know, they

409
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: assumed we would have you know that we assume that

410
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,440
Speaker 1: because of you, Dana. We assumed we were gonna have

411
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: sharks with fricking laser beams and guys with machine guns

412
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: on the beach and Bruce Lee lingering in the ethos

413
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 1: because of you. Go to UFC dot com slash merch

414
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: or whatever their site is, there's a lot of Fight

415
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: Island merch out there and it's pretty badass and it's

416
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 1: all palm trees and islands because of you, Dana. So Luke,

417
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: I don't know if this was a they had a

418
00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: different island in mind. They tried their best, it didn't

419
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: work out. Then they just followed the money to Abu Dhabi.

420
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, look it's it's a freaking quarantine, right,

421
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 1: do what you can to survive. But it's actually Dana's

422
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: cryptic nature that kept this illusion going in the end,

423
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 1: like who cares. I wasn't gonna fly to Fight Island.

424
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,359
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna fly to Abu Dhabi. I'm grateful that

425
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 1: this card is a badass as a fan, I'm grateful

426
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: as a journalist all that, But you can't blame any

427
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: of us for going womp womb.

428
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: I mean, this is you know, come on, you know

429
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:00,920
Speaker 3: the this is it's pretty lame.

430
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: It's pretty lame.

431
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 3: Look, it's pretty lame.

432
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 2: It's super it's super lame. It's super lame. I mean

433
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 2: there's a lot to I remember years ago when they

434
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: had like a press conference and it was it was

435
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: a it was a it was a conference call, but

436
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 2: it was you know, UFC teasa's huge announcement. We're like, wow,

437
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 2: what is this going to be? And the announcement was

438
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: we've re signed with Spike or like okay, that's it,

439
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: Like you're just still gonna be on what you've been on,

440
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 2: Like that's the thing. And of course, if you think

441
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 2: about it from a UFC's perspective, that was a big

442
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 2: deal at the time. They probably got more money from

443
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 2: Spike at the time, or the deal had probably grown

444
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 2: in some kind of way it was worth I think

445
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: one hundred million or more. It was a big deal,

446
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 2: but to the average fan, it just didn't feel that way.

447
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 2: The thing about Fight Island was I said this before BC.

448
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 2: You know me, I only cared about getting that Nevada

449
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: Commission protocol in place because it not only allows UFC

450
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 2: to come back, it allows anybody who can follow that

451
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,640
Speaker 2: protocol to come back. And of course we saw top rank,

452
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 2: which we'll talk about here in a few minutes, and

453
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: so that to me was a bigger deal because I've

454
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 2: seen boatdog fight. It's fine for five seconds when they're

455
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,199
Speaker 2: fighting on a beach, and then you're like, okay, but

456
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: who's fighting? And do I care? That's really what you

457
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 2: always come back to. In the end, it didn't matter

458
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: to me, But you're right, it is a bait and switch.

459
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 2: You can still go, as you mentioned, to the UFC store.

460
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:20,199
Speaker 2: You can find Fight Island merchandise. You can go to

461
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 2: UFC store dot com, Slash collection slash Fight Dash Island.

462
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 2: They have shirts on there that say Fight Island location unknown.

463
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 2: What it's not Doctor Evil's Layer in the middle of

464
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: the Bermuda Triangle, It's fucking Ya's Island. You've been there

465
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 2: a few times? What are you talking about? So they

466
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 2: clearly and quite literally, BC quite literally oversold what Fight

467
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,160
Speaker 2: Island was all about. But to your point, what are

468
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 2: they bringing to the fans, which is really what I

469
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,160
Speaker 2: care about? What kind of fights are they bringing there?

470
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 2: If you wanted to, if you really wanted to be

471
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: a hard ass, you could go through You should say, well,

472
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,160
Speaker 2: that should be Masbodoal taking on Kamara Rusban not got

473
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 2: Gilbert Burns say why is Aldo in this title fight?

474
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: You could say, well, Max and Volkanovski they're the two

475
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 2: best featherweights. But should there be somebody else in the mix?

476
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:08,399
Speaker 2: You can be a real hard mess about it. But

477
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 2: the totality of all three together on those cards. Plus,

478
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,640
Speaker 2: by the way, think about this, Speaking of Yas Island,

479
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: Frankie Edgar's gonna make his bansamweight debut on this card

480
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 2: against Pedro Mugnoz. The last time he was here he

481
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 2: won the title from BJ Penn. Talk about a telling

482
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 2: of the story of Frankie Edgar's career between then and now.

483
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:29,919
Speaker 2: So there's a lot of things that you could really

484
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 2: really sink your teeth into, from storylines to great fights,

485
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,479
Speaker 2: and everything in between. And then the week after that,

486
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 2: by the way, the flyweight title is gonna be up

487
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 2: for grabs. There's a ton to like there. So from

488
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: a commercial standpoint, they really got out in front of

489
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 2: their skis here. From a quality standpoint in terms of

490
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 2: what they're giving the fans, there's a lot to like

491
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 2: and you have to acknowledge it, and I do.

492
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: And I'm not against them taking advantage, you know, merch

493
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 1: wise and patent wise and all that. But like Danny,

494
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: you can't, like then celebrate the fact that we all

495
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: got right.

496
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 3: You know, it doesn't work that way.

497
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: But just to close, Luke, since you're a COVID nineteen

498
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: trumpetereer of all things safety. We are doing fight Island

499
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: supposedly because international people can't fly to the US. But

500
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: isn't like Alexander Volkov fighting next week in Vegas, and

501
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: didn't you know, why are we sending US based fighters

502
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: out to fight Island? I don't know if does that

503
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,160
Speaker 1: really work that way?

504
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 2: I don't know. So for example, Overeim when he fought

505
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,000
Speaker 2: in Jacksonville, he flew from Holland. He was in a

506
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 2: Denver before. But I talked to him that Monday after

507
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: he had flown back to Holland. So remember, some fighters

508
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 2: can come back and forth. I think the problem is,

509
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 2: and a big one is a lot of the Brazilian

510
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 2: fighters can't get here, a lot of you know, from

511
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:44,880
Speaker 2: different places or that place, but they might be able

512
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 2: to get as a meeting in the middle to Abu Dhabi. Now,

513
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 2: of course Gilbert Burns and Kamar who could fight here,

514
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: but they're trying to stack things over there. So that's

515
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 2: my understanding. It's not a total restriction on who could

516
00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 2: be here, but it's enough that it's a problem in

517
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: the end. So yeah, that's where we're at on that one. Okay,

518
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,160
Speaker 2: let's move on here to the third of our topics here.

519
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 2: Fight er pay is something that is just not a

520
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 2: story that is going away. Even last night BC, after

521
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: we had already planned out the show, Jorge Masmital took

522
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 2: back to Twitter and I feel like we've discussed this

523
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: sort of ad nauseum at this point, but it really

524
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: is something we can't get away from because BC, it's

525
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: an issue in all of combat's sports. Nay, it's an

526
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 2: issue in sports more generally. Think about it this way.

527
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: In the UFC side of things, we have everything. We've

528
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: discussed John Jones, Henris a Hudo and again just even

529
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:40,719
Speaker 2: last night, Jorge Masmital. On the boxing side, it's not

530
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 2: so much people complaining about their pay as such. It's

531
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 2: more that the model as it stands is insufficient to

532
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: get the big draws back, at least for right now.

533
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 2: And then even in the wider world of sports, BC,

534
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 2: look what's happening in American baseball. These athletes there with

535
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: their union a complaining about some of the offers that

536
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: the owners are making in terms of what the pay

537
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 2: should be for the number of games. And the question

538
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 2: is why is there this common thread of let's call it,

539
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 2: in our case in the combat sports world, fighter pay,

540
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 2: but in the wider world, the sports world more generally,

541
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 2: the sort of athlete pay. BC. I have a theory

542
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 2: on this. I want to see what you think about it.

543
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, here is don't just sing it, look

544
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: bring it.

545
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 2: Here is my thought about this. If you look at

546
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 2: any industry, entertainment, sports, whatever, the pandemic has accelerated either

547
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 2: trends or really revealed big problems that have existed in

548
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: everyone's business. So you take for example, AMC movie theaters

549
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 2: right there, was this trend already of people using just

550
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 2: Fandango Now and Apple iTunes and TV to just get

551
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 2: movies when they came home. There's been a real decline

552
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: in the use of American theaters. They make most of

553
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,879
Speaker 2: their money, by the way, from concessions. Well, now this

554
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:02,119
Speaker 2: has turned into an existential crisis because it has exacerbated

555
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 2: the pandemic, has exacerbated and exposed the trends. I think

556
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 2: the same kind of thing is happening across pay in

557
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 2: all of sports. In the UFC, these guys have been

558
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 2: wanting to get paid for a really long time. They

559
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,680
Speaker 2: finally have information about it. They've been speaking out here

560
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: or there in general, but now with the court information

561
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: and the UFC's relatively weakened position, so to speak, they're

562
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 2: speaking out on the combat sports side for boxing, right,

563
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: They're not really complaining about the model per se, except

564
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,120
Speaker 2: they want money from the gates. You're not gonna get

565
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: any of these fighters that make money off the gate

566
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 2: until there is a gate or until some kind of rich,

567
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: probably evil person like a Saudi Prints or something just

568
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 2: coughs up a bunch of extra money. And then on

569
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 2: the athlete side, to the major league Baseball and their players.

570
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: They're supposed to have a renewed CBA negotiations next season.

571
00:26:52,960 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 2: This is a foretelling of all the problems that are

572
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 2: going to happen if they can't even get this right.

573
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: I don't know how we get out of this mess, BC,

574
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 2: but that is my thought. The pandemic has accelerated trends

575
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,920
Speaker 2: and it has exposed problems, fractures, fault lines in all

576
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 2: of the different sports. And that's why you're seeing pay

577
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 2: concerns everywhere.

578
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 1: It's exposed the fault lines in your own marriage and

579
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: your you know, relationship with your kids, and in your business.

580
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: It's put a you know, honestly a magnifying glass on everything,

581
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 1: because never in life do we press pause for this

582
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: long and sort of take stock of what is in

583
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,359
Speaker 1: front of us. But I mean, look, I get it.

584
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: I get Jorge Mosvel, right, I mean, you know, he's

585
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:35,399
Speaker 1: a rider, but still he's just a simple man. All

586
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: he wants is money, f the fame. He's a simple man.

587
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: The money's not there right now. And I thought it

588
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 1: was interesting, Luke, from some reporting from Irajwani of ESPN

589
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 1: that UFC did go back to the well ahead of

590
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:49,560
Speaker 1: the announcement of this two fifty one card and was like, okay,

591
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: or hey, you can get what we paid you for

592
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: the Das or for the Naydaz fight, will double the

593
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 1: original offer. And he still was like, no, f off,

594
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 1: This is about principle. So this is getting very interesting, Luke.

595
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,359
Speaker 1: But you teased on something when he made the Saudi

596
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,400
Speaker 1: prince joke. When these fights get big, fights are about

597
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: to get made, right like Anthony Joshua last year rematching

598
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,640
Speaker 1: Andy Ruez, and we're like, man, I want that crap

599
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: back in Madison Square, Gardener, put it in Cowboys Stadium

600
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 1: in front of one hundred thousand, or put it in

601
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: Wembley Stadium where it belongs. Right, And then he goes

602
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: to Saudi because they offered Anthony Joshua eighty million dollars. Right,

603
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,520
Speaker 1: it actually happened, And then we're like, oh, really, why

604
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:32,120
Speaker 1: is it going there? Luke? We've never needed these folks.

605
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying those people, but what I'm saying

606
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: these folks, I mean you, well, yeah, foreigners with a lot.

607
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: Of money who may or may not be sketchy, and

608
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: just like there's a lot of headlines coming out of Europe,

609
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 1: right now with you know, the head of Tyson Fury's

610
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 1: management team, Daniel Kinahan or whatever his name is, putting,

611
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, being at the forefront of trying to make

612
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 1: this Anthony Joshua Tyson Fury series while he's you know,

613
00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 1: got some blood money going around. I got a couple

614
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 1: things to say about this overall picture. We have never

615
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 1: needed these people more. And if you're worried about blood

616
00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: money in combat sports, that's in the veins of all

617
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 1: combat sports forever. Unfortunately it is. How do you think

618
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:16,120
Speaker 1: people can afford to launch these streaming networks and do things.

619
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:18,959
Speaker 1: It's a sketchy industry. It just is what it is.

620
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: And I never thought I'd be saying this, But part

621
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: of the reason I'm not mad at UFC going to

622
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: Abu Dhabi and tricking us with this Fight Island thing

623
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,120
Speaker 1: is maybe that's the only way we can get three

624
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: title fights on a card without a live gate. These

625
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: exorbitant site fees, and we used to get mad when

626
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: Bob Aaron would take many pack out of Macau and

627
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: these pay per views would beyond at weird times, But

628
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 1: he was getting stupid site fee money to be able

629
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: to pay for everything. We kind of need that right now, Luke.

630
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 1: So if that Nigerian prince is emailing you, I would

631
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: actually respond back and be like, hey, man, can you

632
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: you know any chance you can help us out getting

633
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 1: these fights to happen, because without a live gate, that

634
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,440
Speaker 1: is the only way it's gonna work.

635
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: And I may be in a spot where I'm just like, I.

636
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: Don't care where the money comes from.

637
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the point where it gets kind of complicated,

638
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 2: which is all right. It's one thing to take somebody's

639
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 2: money that's made a bunch of cash in the oil business, right.

640
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: I mean, as to your point, we've all watched and

641
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 2: partaken in some kind of way in combat sports that

642
00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:16,720
Speaker 2: has shown a degree of moral relativism. But you go

643
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 2: back to Abu Dhabi. You know, Dania White keep talking

644
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 2: about the infratructure being built. Now, we don't know this

645
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 2: to be the case for what is happening on Flight Island.

646
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 2: I want to be very clear about this. However, what

647
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 2: we do know is the case on Abu Dhabi more generally,

648
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 2: and then specifically in other parts of that world, for

649
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 2: example with the upcoming twenty twenty two World Cup. Again,

650
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: this is not specific to Abu Dhabi in this case,

651
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 2: but I'm just pointing out they are known for bringing

652
00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 2: in immigrants from Southeast Asia and putting them in absolutely

653
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 2: horrific human rights conditions. Many of them are dying on

654
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,680
Speaker 2: the job to build infrastructure for things that need to

655
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 2: be built, whether it's sports or otherwise. Again, I do

656
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:55,239
Speaker 2: not know if that's the case here, but it'd be

657
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: If it wasn't, that would have to be like a

658
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: pivot away from what they normally do. So it's like,

659
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,719
Speaker 2: where where do you draw the line. It's one thing

660
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 2: to take somebody's money who's rich, and okay, well whatever,

661
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 2: But now we're beginning to get into these territory where like,

662
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 2: how many compromises do we want to make to get

663
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 2: the exact same thing you talk about taking Saudi money

664
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 2: Saudi money. Also, remember what the Saudis are doing. You know,

665
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 2: they're being involved in the essentially the destruction of Yemen

666
00:31:19,280 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 2: and its blockade, which has led to easily easily the

667
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,640
Speaker 2: worst humanitarian crisis right now on Earth, millions uh sort

668
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 2: of with food and security and in hundreds of thousands

669
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:32,680
Speaker 2: starving to death. That's not that's not an exaggeration, that's real.

670
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 2: So It's like, how important is fights to you? I mean,

671
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: in the end, they're gonna do what they're gonna do

672
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: if it's legal, and if it's above board and acknowledge it, okay,

673
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 2: well it's just gonna go forward. I just think, as

674
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 2: fight fans, you should know how the sausage is made

675
00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: and you should acknowledge it outright. I'm okay with taking

676
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,240
Speaker 2: Saudi money because I don't care about the Yemen and blockade.

677
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 2: We'll then say it out loud if that's how you feel.

678
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,959
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying there's an easy answer. Last thing,

679
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,200
Speaker 2: last thing, I'm not saying there's an easy answer. I'm

680
00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 2: just saying you've got to be honest with where you're at.

681
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if your boy uncle Rams Jenksddan, you know

682
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 1: that guy ver Doom's friend, if he was suddenly the bankroller,

683
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 1: would you feel a little bit more? I mean, yeah,

684
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:12,320
Speaker 1: it does. It is all sketchy, but hey, did you

685
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 1: enjoy the two thousand and eight Olympics in Beijing? Did

686
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 1: you enjoy that over elaborate opening ceremony with the drums?

687
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: You want to go and read the stories of how

688
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 1: they practiced for that and how that whole thing was

689
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:24,840
Speaker 1: put together and that stadium was made. You're right, Luke,

690
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 1: all right, blood money's everywhere. Okay, Jay's trying to get

691
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: me off of this. Okay, Jay, why don't you get

692
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 1: off for once? All right?

693
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 2: No, it's a fair point. It's a fair point. You're right.

694
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 2: We talk about, you know, all these people are bad actors,

695
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 2: then we do all this business in China, and then

696
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 2: we come to find out, you know, they're horrific. Human

697
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,960
Speaker 2: rights abuse is there, whether they're weigger Muslims or whether

698
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 2: they're not. So you're right where all of us are guilty,

699
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,040
Speaker 2: me included you, and certainly the viewers as well. All right,

700
00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:49,959
Speaker 2: that takes us to the fourth point, BC. I want

701
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,720
Speaker 2: to pitch this one to you. Top Rank is back.

702
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 2: As I mentioned, the one thing I was looking for

703
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: was to get a major commission to establish some COVID

704
00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: protocol that everybody could follow. Well, UFC might have been

705
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: the first in Nevada, but Top Rank was right behind. However,

706
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 2: they had two cards. On Tuesday and Thursday we saw

707
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: Shaker Stevenson back. He demolished somebody that they found for him.

708
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,920
Speaker 2: I forget the guy's name, and they put another card

709
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: on Thursday. Yeah, they put another card in on Thursday BC.

710
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 2: I thought they looked great visually on TV. They left

711
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: a lot to be desired. Give me the grade for

712
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: the two first top rank events back on ESPN.

713
00:33:27,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the grade's not good. The grade's not good.

714
00:33:29,640 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 1: I don't even know if I want to share it.

715
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,480
Speaker 1: It involves a middle fid. They got three fight cards

716
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 1: this week, by the way, all on ESPN three this week.

717
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 3: I got a larger issue.

718
00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: Looks just like UFC, somebody has to be first, right,

719
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 1: so you're always going to criticize, you know, how they

720
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: chose to do it. But we know it's not like

721
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 1: it's lost on me being an original boxing guy that

722
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: you know, they don't have the UFC's budget, they don't

723
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: have the UFC's control over the whole sport. You're not

724
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 1: going to see on week one of COVID boxing fights,

725
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 1: them doing a joint pay per view with you know, PBC.

726
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: I get all of that. There were some things I

727
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 1: didn't love though about this week. That was really hard

728
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 1: as a true boxing guy, right, you know your beggars

729
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: can't be cheered, No beggars will be choosers here. Maybe

730
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 1: I've been spoiled by how hard the UFC has worked

731
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:18,799
Speaker 1: again a different financial and matchmaking system, but that was

732
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: not really that watchable those last two cards. Yeah, it

733
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,919
Speaker 1: was fun watching the Magdaleno main event and him getting

734
00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:26,440
Speaker 1: punching the balls thirty eight times, But.

735
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 3: Outside of that, it's like, great presentation.

736
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 1: Do I need twenty minutes of patting ourselves on the

737
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 1: back about COVID testing in the bubble and not even

738
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: mentioning that we wouldn't be here if the UFC.

739
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 3: Did, you know, launch this and take that chance.

740
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 2: No.

741
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 1: I didn't love the announcers wearing suits in their living

742
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,800
Speaker 1: rooms separately calling the broadcast whatever. Who cares. Presentation was great,

743
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 1: great that they're getting back out hopefully just like UFC

744
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 1: starting things out and everyone following. Maybe the other boxing promoters,

745
00:34:53,360 --> 00:34:55,200
Speaker 1: if they can afford it, will start to do the

746
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: same thing. But Luke, there's already an enornament amount of

747
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 1: shitty boxing on like national television, because that's just how

748
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:05,760
Speaker 1: the sport works, right, you know, there's so many separate

749
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 1: individual business owners and they get a TV contract and

750
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: they kind of for the most.

751
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 3: Part, keep it in their league.

752
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: But it does nothing to like bang the drums that

753
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: boxing is back and put it on ESPN of all

754
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,280
Speaker 1: places for people to come on and see just awful

755
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 1: matchmaking and see you know, that first card was like

756
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: four hours and there was like four fights, and three

757
00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: of them you know, we're done in the first round

758
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,160
Speaker 1: and you're just stretching it out with propaganda in between.

759
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: It's just not a great representation of what the sport

760
00:35:33,440 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: can do. So I'm not saying don't come back until

761
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,919
Speaker 1: you're ready to get it right. Okay, maybe I'm saying that, Luke,

762
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: it just wasn't great. It you know, I'm a boxing guy.

763
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,000
Speaker 1: Wasn't entertained. I don't really you know, not pumped up

764
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: to tune in this week.

765
00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 3: I love my sport.

766
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 1: I want to see everybody come back, but I really,

767
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,319
Speaker 1: you know, we would have the same exact criticism. And

768
00:35:51,360 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 1: you know this, Luke, right, just like people criticized the

769
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: card last week, the UFC fight night, we would have

770
00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,799
Speaker 1: the same exact criticism if UFC came out and just

771
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 1: gave us horrifically awfully matt fights that were you know,

772
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:04,120
Speaker 1: not fun that you knew who was gonna win, and

773
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 1: just tried to parade like, hey, we're back, baby, enjoy it.

774
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:09,560
Speaker 2: You know, here's the part about it that folks misunderstand

775
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:11,000
Speaker 2: when they when it comes to the criticism of like

776
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:15,880
Speaker 2: UFC Saturday Show. On paper. Look, you, modern MMA is

777
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:19,719
Speaker 2: advanced enough, and the UFC has enough control where they

778
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:22,440
Speaker 2: can pretty much put on any kind of fight card,

779
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 2: and the chances are you'll get some decent fights, maybe

780
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 2: even some good ones along the way. It's gonna be

781
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: hard for a UFC card to just outright suck. It

782
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 2: is possible they do happen, but it's fairly infrequent at

783
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 2: this point, and that Saturday's card is a testament to that.

784
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 2: But here's the reality that both UFC and Top Break

785
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 2: have to face two varying degrees. I understand which is

786
00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 2: the proof's going to be in the putting you and

787
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 2: I can tell you a card is good or a

788
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 2: card is bad. If folks don't know who the fighters are,

789
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: or the fights don't have some kind of connection to

790
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:54,839
Speaker 2: to UH, or the fighters themselves wi't have some kind

791
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 2: of like rivalry or connection, or folks don't have a

792
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 2: way to get invested, the ratings are gonna speak to that.

793
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: The ratings for Saturday's fights, I guarantee you they're not

794
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 2: going to be very good. And as you heard Dana

795
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 2: White talk about the Top Rank cards, the ratings for

796
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 2: them were even worse. Granted they were on a Tuesday

797
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 2: and the Thursday as opposed to Saturday, but the point

798
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,560
Speaker 2: still stands. We can say what we want about them,

799
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 2: but fight fans know, they know what they're in for,

800
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,160
Speaker 2: they know what they're not in for. They're going to

801
00:37:17,200 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 2: be very selective. To that end, the UFC's problems are

802
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 2: a little bit easier to fix one because they have

803
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,480
Speaker 2: more of the best available fighters that are kind of

804
00:37:25,560 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 2: under their control. I don't know how Top Rank gets

805
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 2: out of this BC, or really any promoter other than

806
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 2: as we indicated, somebody comes in and just absolutely unloads

807
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:39,080
Speaker 2: a lot of cash. But how do you get the

808
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 2: in between fighters? Okay, it's one thing to get your

809
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 2: Wilders and your Furies back, and that's huge if you

810
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 2: can actually do it at some point in twenty twenty

811
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:49,959
Speaker 2: at least, we shouldn't underplay that. That is a big deal

812
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 2: if you can get it. But how do you get

813
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,160
Speaker 2: your Bud Crawford's back. How do you get the guys

814
00:37:54,200 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 2: who are very, very talented and get Gate receipts but

815
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 2: aren't necessarily the world world's biggest draws. How do you

816
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 2: will see how Showtime, for example, plays out making fights

817
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,799
Speaker 2: with Dravante Davis and other folks like that. Right, these

818
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 2: kind of people who are on the come up, who

819
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:12,759
Speaker 2: have a following that people care about. But are they

820
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 2: the kind that are going to get Saudi Princess to

821
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 2: just chuck a bunch of money? It remains to be seen. Right,

822
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: So there's that middle space there, and I don't know

823
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 2: how boxing's model is going to account for it. The

824
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,360
Speaker 2: reality is, and we've talked about a BC on the

825
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:28,560
Speaker 2: UFC side, the fact that it's not just that a

826
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 2: lot of fighters in UFC need the money, although we

827
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 2: should not discount that. Haven't you noticed, BC, that there's

828
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 2: something inside the MMA fighter's mind that's a little bit different.

829
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 2: I've had conversations with folks about this in the combat

830
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 2: sports space. A lot of them say it probably comes

831
00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:46,799
Speaker 2: from being the wrestling background being so ubiquitous inside MMA,

832
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 2: which is that MMA fighters they don't like to succumb

833
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 2: to the challenge of outside intervening forces. Oh your plane

834
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 2: was delayed, find a way, Oh there's a pandemic I'm

835
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 2: going to compete no matter what. Oh you're it fell

836
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 2: out last minute. I'll take the change no matter what.

837
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 2: They just have a certain accommodation for difficulty that a

838
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,040
Speaker 2: lot of other athletes, even inside combat sports don't, and

839
00:39:09,880 --> 00:39:13,399
Speaker 2: it really I think helps Dana White keeps the train

840
00:39:13,480 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 2: on the tracks. Is that a fair assessment, do you think? Or?

841
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:16,759
Speaker 2: Am I off a little bit? No?

842
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 3: No, that's fair.

843
00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,440
Speaker 1: They also, you know, get paid less on the overall,

844
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:24,279
Speaker 1: there's one specific promoter that's way above everybody else. So

845
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 1: there's a major league and minor league in some way,

846
00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,799
Speaker 1: although obviously Beltor does very high level cards and there

847
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,279
Speaker 1: are you know, between one and PF. I mean, look,

848
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:35,320
Speaker 1: there's more competitors than there's ever been. But in some ways,

849
00:39:35,320 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: it's still like if I get cut from the UFC,

850
00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,319
Speaker 1: that may be the end in some ways for me.

851
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,319
Speaker 1: So it's different. I'm just a little bit like, what

852
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 1: can we do? We can do better matchmaking than we

853
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 1: saw even in house promotion. Now, look, I don't know

854
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 1: the financial numbers, so I'm kind of speaking out of

855
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 1: turning away. But you know, you said in the boxing

856
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,960
Speaker 1: financial what's the solution? Unfortunately, the solution may be something

857
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: that you can't do, which is taking fights that would

858
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 1: normally be on TV and putting them on pay per view.

859
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 1: They might a side versus a side, but you know,

860
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: it may be close enough. But the problem is when

861
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,279
Speaker 1: you get somebody like a top rank who has an

862
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: ESPN deal somewhat similar to the UFCS where you have

863
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: to meet a certain amount of dates, right then you're

864
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of challenged to put together a certain amount of

865
00:40:15,560 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 1: sub average cards and it's not great. And no, without

866
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: a crazy site foreign site fee, we're not gonna get

867
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: great fights right now unless it goes straight to pay

868
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,879
Speaker 1: per view and they believe that they can get the money.

869
00:40:25,920 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, like boxing is unlike any other sport,

870
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,600
Speaker 1: meaning where you know, if it's Game one of the

871
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 1: World Series, they don't pause at the seventh thing stretch

872
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,439
Speaker 1: to bring on some rookie leaguers you know, or single

873
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,680
Speaker 1: a guys. And in boxing we do that all the time,

874
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 1: right We advertise that this great fight is gonna happen,

875
00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: but first you much watch these three minor league fights. Normally,

876
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,920
Speaker 1: that doesn't stick out as much when the sporting world

877
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 1: is going on as a whole, because you can tune

878
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,879
Speaker 1: back into boxing when you know the main event's gonna

879
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 1: happen if you're not into the whole broadcast.

880
00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 3: But now when you're propping these up as the only game.

881
00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,439
Speaker 1: In town, it is even a worse time to put

882
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,879
Speaker 1: this fourth. Oh, this is the best boxing has to offer.

883
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 3: Give me a break. That's what makes it hard.

884
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 2: All right, We go on now to our fifth and

885
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 2: final topic. You know, people can complain about Saturday's card,

886
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:10,680
Speaker 2: at least on paper. Again, we know it over delivered

887
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 2: relative to expectations. But I gotta tell you I got

888
00:41:13,239 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: high expectations for this upcoming Saturday card BC. There are

889
00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 2: a ton of good fights on there. Shout outs to

890
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 2: Josh m versus Shane Burgos by the way, which should

891
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 2: just be an absolute firecracker. But you can go up

892
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 2: and down that card. I mean, there are a ton

893
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 2: of good fights. The main event to me is really interesting.

894
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,080
Speaker 2: Curtis Blade is going to take on Alexander Volkov BC,

895
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,200
Speaker 2: and I gotta tell you I was thinking about this.

896
00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 2: We'll pitch it to you here again one more time.

897
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,960
Speaker 2: What would you say are the stakes? Because here's the context.

898
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 2: I think Blades is ranked third in the heavyweight division,

899
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 2: the two ahead would be Cormier and Francis, and then

900
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 2: you've got Volkov, I think, sitting just outside of the

901
00:41:54,719 --> 00:41:58,439
Speaker 2: top five around seven. So you think to yourself, Okay,

902
00:41:58,440 --> 00:42:00,879
Speaker 2: if Volkov wins, he'll probably jump to the top five

903
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 2: some fresh blood blah blah blah blah blah. But what

904
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 2: if Blades wins? Where does he go? So break this

905
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: down for me, what does the winner really get here?

906
00:42:10,040 --> 00:42:12,600
Speaker 1: I mean, you get some you know, for future placement

907
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 1: higher up the heavyweight rankings. But it's a couple of

908
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 1: problems here. One, there's you know, look a bit of

909
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,000
Speaker 1: a log gym. We're gonna get DC steep three steep

910
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: Ay August fifteenth, which, by the way, I'm fired the

911
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: hell up that we're getting this during a quarantine.

912
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 3: Two Hell yeah.

913
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 1: And by the way, David tease Luke, I know you're

914
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: gonna be angry at this, but he teased, maybe we'll

915
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:32,520
Speaker 1: get a full arena by then. I don't know if

916
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 1: the COVID numbers will back that up. But you got that,

917
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,560
Speaker 1: you got Francis and Ghanu waiting in the on deck circle.

918
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: We got the unknown element of John Jones moving up.

919
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: So the winner is not gonna necessarily get anything outside

920
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,080
Speaker 1: of if you're VOCALFF, you better be careful you don't

921
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:49,799
Speaker 1: get us stay busy against in Ghanu by winning this fight.

922
00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 1: Although obviously he's a competitor, he would want that. It's

923
00:42:52,560 --> 00:42:54,839
Speaker 1: just a good main event between you know, top five

924
00:42:54,920 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 1: ish guys. Luke, I'm not gonna oversell it.

925
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. I actually like Curtis Blade's chances to win.

926
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: It's a shame that he lost the rematch with Francis

927
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,319
Speaker 2: over in China, however long ago, because honestly, I think

928
00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 2: he'd be a really tough fight for Stepey. People might

929
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:10,920
Speaker 2: laugh at that and tell me I'm crazy. I'm not

930
00:43:10,920 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: saying he'd win, but again, would he be a tough fight.

931
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 2: I think that he would against Cormier. It's a little

932
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:18,280
Speaker 2: bit harder to say. But Cormier has got one more Againsteepa,

933
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 2: and then he's out anyway, so it's not even really

934
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:23,319
Speaker 2: a relevant concern. The problem is if Blades wins, he

935
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 2: just literally keeps exactly the same spot. But what is

936
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 2: he supposed to do just not take fights. He's got

937
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 2: bills to pay, he's got a legacy to build, he's

938
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,960
Speaker 2: got a name that he is trying to grow here

939
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 2: against as many oppositions contemporaries as he can, and if

940
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:40,960
Speaker 2: he wants to headline cards like these are all things

941
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: that he wants to do. He's just in a really,

942
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 2: really tough position to get a third fight with Francis,

943
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: especially before Francis if when he gets a title. So

944
00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: it's a rough spot for him. But I like the fight,

945
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 2: I like the matchup, I like the test for both guys.

946
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 2: I tend to favor Blades to win, but Volkov has

947
00:43:57,880 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 2: dramatically improved since his days over in Bellatour. This is

948
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:04,720
Speaker 2: a great fight, and I mentioned BC down the card.

949
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 2: This is so much better than last weekend's card on paper.

950
00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:10,840
Speaker 2: Listen to this, as I mentioned Josh Emmett taken on

951
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,719
Speaker 2: Shane Bergos. This is your co main event. Oh my god,

952
00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,399
Speaker 2: it's so good. Raquel Pennington, Marion Renault, Lyman Good versus

953
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,640
Speaker 2: Balal Mohammed, Jim Miller against Roosevelt Roberts, who's back in action.

954
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,959
Speaker 2: How about this on the prelim card, BC Clay gwed

955
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 2: to Bobby green Tsha Torres, Brienna Van Buren, Mark Andre

956
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: berryl versus Oscar Paijote. Okay, I can skip that one.

957
00:44:30,239 --> 00:44:34,840
Speaker 2: Courtney Casey taking on Jillian robertson, Frank Camacho against Matt Ravola,

958
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 2: Roxane Motaferry against Lauren Murphy, and then Austin Hubbard against

959
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:42,800
Speaker 2: a late replacement Max Roskoff. I mean, this is a great,

960
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 2: great card on Saturday. We'll it deliver. I guess in

961
00:44:45,560 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 2: the end we'll see. But you know, compare that to

962
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 2: the Top rank cards. I'm not even sure I can

963
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 2: name three fights that are happening on Top Rank this week.

964
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the thing I like about, Like, you know,

965
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: you mentioned that Mata Furry fight that's buried on the

966
00:44:56,880 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 1: early prelims. Yet that's kind of like a top five

967
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: content in that flyweight division. And as much as you

968
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 1: loved or didn't like on paper what Calvio I could

969
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 1: have given you, I mean that's basically to you know,

970
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:10,920
Speaker 1: to create a number one or two contender in that

971
00:45:10,960 --> 00:45:13,560
Speaker 1: division as well. So at least the fights have meeting

972
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: and we're getting them. A lot of people I want

973
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 1: to see on this card. Would you think the winner

974
00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: of this fight would either get.

975
00:45:18,840 --> 00:45:21,120
Speaker 3: A overream or Derek Lewis? Which one would you prefer?

976
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:26,359
Speaker 2: Oooh, okay, if it's Volkov. If it's Volkov, i'd want

977
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 2: to see. Do you want to see the Lewis rematch?

978
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure I do want to see the Lewis

979
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: rematch because he got a one in that Hail Mary.

980
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: I guess maybe I would. If it's Blades, I wouldn't

981
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: need to see the overream fight again, the the Derek

982
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 2: Lewis fight at that point. I guess Derek Lewis sort

983
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,280
Speaker 2: of bussed at this point. I'm not sure where exactly

984
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 2: Overeem goes from here, but of course you know, obviously

985
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 2: he's a top contender as well. Well, what about you.

986
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:49,319
Speaker 3: Give me any of them.

987
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 1: We're in a really good spot at the heavyweight you know,

988
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:53,520
Speaker 1: not just the higher end stuff that I mentioned, but

989
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 1: I mean there are times when you got too many

990
00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 1: Check Congo's and Roy Nelson's in your heavyweight division, and

991
00:45:59,080 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 1: we've been there before.

992
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 3: Now was a good time. So I kind of like

993
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:02,560
Speaker 3: where these fights are going.

994
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 2: All right, Well that in mind, those are our top

995
00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: five topics, but plenty of show to go. Now, let's

996
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 2: get to the portion of the show where you ask

997
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,919
Speaker 2: us questions. We always put an Instagram post up at

998
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 2: Morning Combat on Instagram the day before people fill it up.

999
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:21,040
Speaker 2: So without further ado, let's go now to DMS from Donks.

1000
00:46:28,200 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 2: Thanks Jay, good job on that.

1001
00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:34,239
Speaker 1: Jay was busy texting us that are chatting with us

1002
00:46:34,280 --> 00:46:36,000
Speaker 1: live on the show to let us know that Liman

1003
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 1: Good was also one of his sensays along with your

1004
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 1: ayah hall. I wonder if he hit a spinning back

1005
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,080
Speaker 1: kick on Liman Good though.

1006
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 2: So you are a Tiger Shulman guy, Jay? Is that?

1007
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 2: It sounds like it? All right? Here we go. Let's

1008
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:56,640
Speaker 2: get to these first questions that Jay messed up all right?

1009
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 2: First BC from No Limit Cunning Am, do you think

1010
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,640
Speaker 2: Gilbert Burns's sudden rise to a title shot were encourage

1011
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 2: fighters in the future to stay active often and or

1012
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:10,399
Speaker 2: take lots of fights on short notice? What do you think? BC?

1013
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:12,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I don't think this is a new theory.

1014
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: Right, how do you become I'm not calling Gilbert Burns

1015
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: a company man, but how do you become a man

1016
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 1: who the company likes to reward? Right? You be willing

1017
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 1: to take on any challenge possible. You'd be willing to

1018
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: take on fights on short notice, and you'd be willing

1019
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: just to keep taking on, taking on, and that's what

1020
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,239
Speaker 1: this guy has done. And obviously there's something too the

1021
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:34,440
Speaker 1: idea of staying busy and improving yourself in that regard.

1022
00:47:34,480 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 1: We've seeing, you know, Angela Hill turn around her entire

1023
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:41,520
Speaker 1: career with that. So there, yeah, you know this is opportunity.

1024
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Leon Edward's got got the cold, cold,

1025
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:46,040
Speaker 1: hard shank hare.

1026
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 3: You know, maybe some of it travel related the or not, but.

1027
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: Gilbert Burns was hot, he was available, and that's kind

1028
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,399
Speaker 1: of what you need to be. Luke in the phonal ring.

1029
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:59,960
Speaker 2: I'll say this, Listen, this is the one of what's

1030
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,960
Speaker 2: one of the most important traits you can have as

1031
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:06,600
Speaker 2: a fighter to get the UFC's favor. It's your willingness

1032
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 2: to say yes, yes too flying overseas, yes to this

1033
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 2: particular matchup, Yes to being ready, yes to whatever they say.

1034
00:48:13,480 --> 00:48:15,160
Speaker 2: The door knocks, and the door will knock often and

1035
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 2: early if you let it, particularly in this moment where

1036
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:21,840
Speaker 2: you're seeing lots of fighters recycled over time. Roosevelt Roberts

1037
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 2: Ian Heinisch. Now there's a challenge to that because we

1038
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:28,240
Speaker 2: saw over the weekend we mentioned Maria Agapova or Agopova

1039
00:48:28,640 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 2: running through Hannah Ciphers. She had two submission losses back

1040
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 2: to back in a span of weeks, one to Mackenzie

1041
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: dern here At one to Agopova. So it doesn't mean

1042
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: that every fighter who just takes fights all the time

1043
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 2: is doing themselves a favor. But if I've heard one

1044
00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 2: consistent complaint from fighters over time, not in the pandemic,

1045
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:50,880
Speaker 2: pre pandemic Sereni notwithstanding, is that they wanted more opportunities.

1046
00:48:50,880 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 2: They wanted to compete more. They didn't want to fight

1047
00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 2: twice a year, Three or maybe four times a year

1048
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:57,080
Speaker 2: was really what they were looking for more if they

1049
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 2: could squeeze it in, because when they're on the regional scene,

1050
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:01,320
Speaker 2: that's that's what they're doing. You go look at people's

1051
00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,359
Speaker 2: records when they're coming up on the fighter circuit from

1052
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 2: LFA to CFFC. They're competing five six times a year,

1053
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: very routinely. It's not uncommon at all. So they want

1054
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 2: to keep up, maybe not that level of consistency, but

1055
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 2: something not to where they're competing one or two times

1056
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: a year. So yes, Gilbert Burns absolutely took advantage of

1057
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:20,319
Speaker 2: the pandemic where that was supposed to be a leon

1058
00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:23,640
Speaker 2: Ewards's opportunity. He came in there and beat Tyren Woodley

1059
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 2: and then said yes when another guy and jage Maswadal

1060
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 2: said no. So it won't benefit everyone all the time,

1061
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,280
Speaker 2: but it will do a lot of favors for yourself,

1062
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

1063
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think Kupac said it best about this, you know,

1064
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 1: in and out, just like a robber ree, I'll probably

1065
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:38,520
Speaker 1: be a freak and let you get on top of me.

1066
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,240
Speaker 3: UFC will do the same if you're willing.

1067
00:49:41,080 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: All right, This coast was from just mais One just

1068
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:49,080
Speaker 2: mays how can fighters still pull off the towel trick

1069
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:51,680
Speaker 2: at weigh ins? And the commission remained clueless. So for

1070
00:49:51,680 --> 00:49:54,200
Speaker 2: folks who may I know BC, he's of course referencing

1071
00:49:54,280 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 2: Jessica I, who apparently whose coach had texted Cynthia saying he, hey,

1072
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,839
Speaker 2: Jessica's gonna be three pounds over and then you get

1073
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:05,080
Speaker 2: over there and she's only a quarter pound in the hoop.

1074
00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: Your hands are supposed to be up, it's supposed to

1075
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: be in Monosariba time, and instead what happened was she

1076
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 2: may have been the rumor BC. The theory is that

1077
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: she was grabbing onto the hoop to hold it so

1078
00:50:17,239 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 2: she could not be as heavy.

1079
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 3: What do you think I mean in this case, it

1080
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:22,399
Speaker 3: didn't matter as much.

1081
00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 1: She still missed weade and couldn't and couldn't you know,

1082
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 1: fix that and had to pay. But I don't know

1083
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 1: if I actually saw as much evidence in this case

1084
00:50:30,840 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 1: as you know the awful Danielle Cormier buffalo situation ahead

1085
00:50:34,719 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 1: of the Rumble rematch. It is an old, dirty trick.

1086
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: I'd like to avoid that altogether. Whatever, whatever I mean, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1087
00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 2: I mean here's the thing. If she had one, I

1088
00:50:46,600 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 2: would have cared. Listen, she took the final two and

1089
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: a half week's notice. I'm gonna be honest, BC, in

1090
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 2: the middle of a pandemic, I'm gonna be a little

1091
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,880
Speaker 2: bit more lenient on fighters missing weight. Now I'm less

1092
00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:02,799
Speaker 2: lenient on Roberson Robertson because he had two chances for

1093
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,919
Speaker 2: the exact same fight and he still was off even

1094
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 2: with the one pound allowance, by almost four other pounds.

1095
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 2: So that, to me, I'm not gonna forgive. But he

1096
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 2: lost instead of Jessica I. It's like they lost so

1097
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 2: they don't get half their person. Then they have to

1098
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:18,719
Speaker 2: get the fine on top of it, which I think

1099
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:22,479
Speaker 2: in certain states goes to the fighter. So justice was served,

1100
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 2: if you ask me.

1101
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: Luke je, I feel bad. I love Jessicay, but she

1102
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: just can't seem to get it right.

1103
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: You know. We well remember she got a title shot

1104
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 2: off three consecutive split decision and wins, which I don't

1105
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 2: think I've ever seen before. But she got it. So

1106
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: you know, listen, she took the fine two and a

1107
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,440
Speaker 2: half weeks. Notice, bro, I'm not gonna beat her up

1108
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,560
Speaker 2: too bad. I'm just not all right from the drunken Swan.

1109
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: What's more weird? BC eating bone in wings with silverware

1110
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 2: or eating boneless wings with your bare hands?

1111
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: Oh well, first of all, I always shout out to

1112
00:51:56,680 --> 00:51:58,120
Speaker 1: the drunken Swan, one of our best.

1113
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 3: Have you seen this shit provider?

1114
00:52:00,160 --> 00:52:02,959
Speaker 1: But it's I mean, if you eat silverware with bone

1115
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,359
Speaker 1: and like, what is wrong with you?

1116
00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:05,240
Speaker 3: That's the point.

1117
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,480
Speaker 1: The bone is the handle. Look, it's not pretty right

1118
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:11,399
Speaker 1: like combat sports. You can't lipstick up that pig. It's

1119
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,720
Speaker 1: cage fighting brother eating wings with your hands and holding

1120
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:18,200
Speaker 1: the damn bone. It's as carnivoric as you can get.

1121
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:22,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad that it's still a practice in polite society.

1122
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty.

1123
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,960
Speaker 1: But how dare you right? How dare you attempt to

1124
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: put a fork and knife? I'm fine with boneless with

1125
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: bare hands. Look, I'm fine. Look these are hand foods, Okay,

1126
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 1: I'm not ready to outlaw that.

1127
00:52:32,320 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 2: I know.

1128
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,040
Speaker 1: Like even when we go out to eat the wife

1129
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 1: sometimes it's like, hey, kids, since we're out. I know

1130
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,680
Speaker 1: normally you'd eat that with your hands, but since we're out,

1131
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:39,680
Speaker 1: can you use the fork?

1132
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 3: I don't know whatever.

1133
00:52:41,440 --> 00:52:43,879
Speaker 2: I think if you eat, I think if you eat there,

1134
00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:47,520
Speaker 2: you couldn't look more out of touch eating a bone

1135
00:52:47,520 --> 00:52:50,719
Speaker 2: in wing with silverware if you tried, You're not exactly

1136
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 2: gonna look like you know you belong at finishing school

1137
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 2: if you eat boneless wings with your hands. But can

1138
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: you imagine who would eat a bone in wing with silverware?

1139
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 3: Whould eat pizza with silverware?

1140
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,200
Speaker 1: You've seen people do this. There must be communists who

1141
00:53:06,200 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: would eat pizza with sence.

1142
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,759
Speaker 2: It's not communists, it's out of touch rich folks. That's

1143
00:53:09,760 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: who it would be, by the.

1144
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:12,320
Speaker 3: Way you want to talk about it, and not a

1145
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:13,520
Speaker 3: touch rich folk. You're gonna love this.

1146
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 1: I have it on authority from two people that Vince McMahon,

1147
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 1: the great WWE crazy Man.

1148
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 3: Eats his steak well done and dips it and mustard.

1149
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 2: Do these people not understand the reason why you have

1150
00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 2: to put mustard or barbecue or ketchup or whatever it

1151
00:53:30,719 --> 00:53:32,640
Speaker 2: is a one that you put on your well done

1152
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 2: steak is because when you cook it well done, you

1153
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:37,240
Speaker 2: cook out all the flavor and that's why you're putting

1154
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 2: it back on top, because there is none. Do they

1155
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,880
Speaker 2: not understand this, BC? I don't understand why that's so

1156
00:53:41,920 --> 00:53:42,400
Speaker 2: hard about this.

1157
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 3: I also do want to say there are times for things.

1158
00:53:45,520 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 1: So the whole idea of boneless wings, or wait, I'm sorry,

1159
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 1: the whole idea of wings in general. It's, like I said,

1160
00:53:50,080 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: it's a messy concept. Don't do it on a date,

1161
00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,000
Speaker 1: don't do it at like a corporate launching. You know,

1162
00:53:55,320 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 1: there's times you want to avoid that altogether.

1163
00:53:57,120 --> 00:54:00,239
Speaker 2: Luke, I was gonna say this, BC, the only eat

1164
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:04,719
Speaker 2: real acceptable way to have utensils and eat with your

1165
00:54:04,719 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 2: hands at the same time. Crab crab eating. You get

1166
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: the you get the newspaper on the on the table,

1167
00:54:12,239 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: you get a little bit of fork, like maybe crack

1168
00:54:13,840 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: open a little bit of the crab. Maybe the pincers

1169
00:54:16,239 --> 00:54:17,920
Speaker 2: to pull out the meat, but you still got to

1170
00:54:17,920 --> 00:54:19,560
Speaker 2: eat with your hands. You gotta dip it in the butter.

1171
00:54:19,640 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 2: It's a whole mess. That to me is when you

1172
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: can you can cross into both realms and it's okay.

1173
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:28,240
Speaker 3: I don't mess with crabs, lobsters.

1174
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 2: You know, not a shellfish, no shell you know, crustacean

1175
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 2: kind of guy.

1176
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:35,879
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, reallyrus keep all the crustaceans away

1177
00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:36,160
Speaker 1: from me.

1178
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,799
Speaker 3: You know, I'll eat a whitefish, right, you know, But

1179
00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:39,320
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1180
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 2: It's interesting you you don't eat lobster or crab.

1181
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,959
Speaker 1: No, well, I mean, I mean I'll eat a crab cake.

1182
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:45,319
Speaker 1: I guess.

1183
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not against crab.

1184
00:54:46,960 --> 00:54:50,280
Speaker 1: But I went to a wedding in Maine last summer

1185
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:52,120
Speaker 1: and you know, it was on the ocean, and we ate,

1186
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:54,120
Speaker 1: you know, the top shelf lobster. It just it's not

1187
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:56,399
Speaker 1: I don't like. I mean, it's like, here's the deal.

1188
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:58,439
Speaker 1: For me to like it, I gotta eat. I gotta

1189
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,120
Speaker 1: eat a stick of butter with it. It's like, well,

1190
00:55:00,160 --> 00:55:01,920
Speaker 1: I can't stick a butter right now, you know, I

1191
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: mean I could, I could get you know, I could

1192
00:55:04,960 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: stick my head down a steers ass, But I'd rather

1193
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: take the butcher's word. No.

1194
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:14,920
Speaker 2: Actually, well you tortured this one to death. Wow, it's

Speaker 1: I mean, let's not act like it. You know, Come on, Luca,

00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,000
Speaker 2: need to be hitting her with your night stick? O. Wait,

1210
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:00,799
Speaker 2: it's not a night stick.

Speaker 2: Saint and that is just you know, I don't know

1216

1250
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,840

1256
00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,200
Speaker 3: You know, I haven't seen all my balls, Luke, So

1257
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 3: this is you know, But.

1258
00:57:53,480 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: I'm guessing the premise. I'm guessing the premise is not

1259
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 2: difficult to figure out. Beviously, it's probably something on the

1260
00:57:58,120 --> 00:57:58,440
Speaker 2: order of.

1261
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: Oh, look, too much of anything is not a good thing.

1262
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: So what I love about how have you seen this shit?

1263
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 1: Is we have a variety, Luke.

1264
00:58:04,520 --> 00:58:06,320
Speaker 3: We don't stay stuck in the dick.

1265
00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: Trade, because when you do, Luke, right, if it was

1266
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,080
Speaker 1: all hit to the groins, it not only becomes tiresome,

1267
00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 1: it gets gross after a while. Right, Like you know

1268
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:16,600
Speaker 1: what the majority of people send me out. They're not

1269
00:58:16,640 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 1: sending me phallic anymore. They're sending me like protest fights,

1270
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:22,880
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, I'm not gonna celebrate on h y

1271
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:26,400
Speaker 1: T s ts. You know, like a white guy and

1272
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: a black guy fighting on the streets in a protest like,

1273
00:58:28,640 --> 00:58:30,400
Speaker 1: that's not my you know, that's not fun and games

1274
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 1: to me. So you can go too far in any direction, Luke.

1275
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:36,320
Speaker 2: Were tired of the black guy's winning or something? Is

1276
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 2: that a racial comment?

1277
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:39,560
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, first of all, how dare you, Luke?

1278

01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:04,680
Speaker 2: worst way possible to do hammer curls.

1471
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 3: If you curl me that way, Luke, you're your powerlifter.

1472
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,200
Speaker 2: No, No, you would be. You'd be a little too heavy.

1473
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,440
Speaker 2: This gentleman to our left here is a small fry.

1474

Speaker 2: I would have to wear No, if we did this,

1479
01:07:22,240 --> 01:07:23,920

01:08:01,400 --> 01:08:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm in shape, I got abs. Look at me, and

1491
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:05,280
Speaker 1: then the dog is just having none of it.

1492
01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:08,560
Speaker 2: I'm scared to make the comment that I want to

1493
01:08:08,600 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 2: make for fear of cancelation, but I want you to

1494
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:11,920

Speaker 3: the next one yet.

1497
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:16,240
Speaker 1: I got a little intro here.

1498
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 3: It is graduation Sison, Luke.

1499
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Luke, in your yearbook, did you have a senior quote?

1500
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,559
Speaker 2: I don't think so, but I can't remember. But I

1501
01:08:26,600 --> 01:08:28,120
Speaker 2: know what you're talking about. So why do you bring

1502
01:08:28,160 --> 01:08:28,439
Speaker 2: it up?

1503
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:31,559
Speaker 1: Well? I wasn't allowed to class in ninety six Noggic

1504
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:34,439
Speaker 1: High School because you remember that nineteen ninety five Greenwich

1505
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:36,880
Speaker 1: High debacle when all those white kids did like the

1506
01:08:38,040 --> 01:08:39,960
Speaker 1: two or three letters as their senior quote and you

1507
01:08:39,960 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: put it all together and it was something hugely racist.

1508
01:08:42,320 --> 01:08:44,439
Speaker 1: My high school was like, no, can't, you can't do that.

1509
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 1: So what I missed out on doing ultimately was probably

1510
01:08:47,400 --> 01:08:50,280
Speaker 1: some shitty Beatles lyric or like, you know, some flood

1511
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,160
Speaker 1: Zeppelin thing or something lame. Right, It would have been

1512
01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 1: lame in hindsight, but some people really put some time

1513
01:08:56,160 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 1: and energy, Luke. Would your would yours have been something,

1514
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, some Winston Churchill quote about you know, overcoming

1515
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: and war. What is it good for?

1516
01:09:03,800 --> 01:09:07,000
Speaker 2: Yeah? Something something stupid that I barely understood, but thoughts

1517
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 2: sounded smart. Yes, probably all.

1518
01:09:08,560 --> 01:09:10,240
Speaker 1: Right, let's let's let's let's go around the horn and

Speaker 3: I'd love to hear it coming from my basement.

1529
01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:38,920
Speaker 2: That's photoshopped.

1530
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fake. I may put the lotion in the basket. Indeed,

1531

Speaker 3: it's fake. Let's go let's move on here. What do

Speaker 2: don't like coffee. All right, Max is Max?

01:10:55,439 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 3: I did.

1555
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: I did follow up. He is a real person. He's

1556
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 1: he's uh and he does any Instagram. Uh bio it

1557
01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:05,320
Speaker 1: says I happen to drink coffee. Now, I'm not kidding.

1558
01:11:05,360 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 3: I'm a hundred percent. Shout out to Max right there.

1559
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 1: That is fun. All right, we're gonna close. I think

1560
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:14,360
Speaker 1: this is the winner. Shout out to Dustin Kats. Yeah,

1561
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 1: I'm I mean, you know we've all thought about this, right, Luke.

1562
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,719
Speaker 2: Two in the Pink and one in the Stink. Life

1563
01:11:22,760 --> 01:11:25,679
Speaker 2: is an adventure explore.

1564
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: Yep.

1565
01:11:27,400 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 3: I think that's called the Turkey.

1566
01:11:28,560 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 2: Luke, Dustin. Dustin is not a smart man. Dustin has

1567
01:11:32,960 --> 01:11:35,240
Speaker 2: probably had a couple of DUIs in his life.

1568
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:38,519
Speaker 3: I would, I would, yeah, you know, I mean you don't.

1569
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:40,519
Speaker 1: You can't look at somebody and say he choked the bitch,

1570
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,160
Speaker 1: but you know you might want to in this case

1571
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:45,599
Speaker 1: shout out to Dustin there, Luke, you know, all right,

1572
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: they're great. Hey, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose in

1573
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:49,559
Speaker 1: the show, Luke, have you seen all that shit?

1574
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 2: I have seen all of that ship you see? Okay,

1575
01:11:52,080 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 2: my good friend. By the way, I looked up grom

1576
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,400
Speaker 2: To Fight Club. It looks like it's Polish. It looks

1577
01:11:57,439 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 2: like it's Polish. Uh okay. With that in mind, we're

1578
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 2: now doing odds and ENDSBC Odds and Ends. What do

1579
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 2: you got for.

1580
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:05,479
Speaker 3: Once you go first?

1581
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:08,080
Speaker 2: Y put the studio back together? All right, I will

1582
01:12:08,080 --> 01:12:10,160
Speaker 2: go first. You had mentioned it earlier. Dana White was

1583
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:13,799
Speaker 2: said that he had not given an announcement for an example,

1584
01:12:13,920 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 2: for the August and then it was reported these September fights,

1585
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 2: so that would be stepe A and DC three and

1586
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 2: then Justin and Kebebe. He had not given a venue

1587
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 2: for it. Now he said, of course, if we have

1588
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:28,240
Speaker 2: to We could just give it obviously for the APEX,

1589
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 2: but he was going to have a wait and see

1590
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:32,200
Speaker 2: approach on whether or not we could have fans now

1591
01:12:32,240 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 2: depending on where he wants to put it. That is

1592
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,520
Speaker 2: not as crazy as it might sound. There are countries

1593
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 2: that did not have a tremendous outbreak that appear to

1594
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:43,240
Speaker 2: be now on the other side of things. So, for example,

1595
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:47,000
Speaker 2: New Zealand hasn't had a positive COVID case in over

1596
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:50,120
Speaker 2: three weeks. They appear to be for now anyway, on

1597
01:12:50,200 --> 01:12:52,080
Speaker 2: the other side of it, if you wanted to go there,

1598
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:54,360
Speaker 2: you could do that. But if you wanted to have

1599
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 2: it for a pay per view, chances are they're going

1600
01:12:56,439 --> 01:12:58,920
Speaker 2: to have it in North American territory. Again, chances are,

1601
01:12:59,320 --> 01:13:02,920
Speaker 2: and if that's the case, I listen, nobody knows exactly

1602
01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:05,639
Speaker 2: where we're gonna be next month or August, or the fall,

1603
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 2: or the winner or for you know, we just know

1604
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 2: one really actually knows. We just have our best guesses.

1605
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 2: But from South Carolina all the way to Texas and

1606
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 2: all the way to California, most of those states I

1607
01:13:16,840 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 2: just mentioned, including Florida, Texas, California, have had peak number

1608
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 2: of positive COVID cases. Is it a related to the reopening,

1609
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 2: is it related to anything else? Again, these are all

1610
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: very debatable. Are they going to get worse than they

1611
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 2: are right now? I don't know. I'm just gonna say,

1612
01:13:33,200 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 2: if you want to have fans, you got to go

1613
01:13:35,560 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 2: to a place that's already beat it, not a place

1614
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 2: that did not do a great job of addressing it,

1615
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 2: which is this place. So that's my thought. BC. What

1616
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:45,640
Speaker 2: about you.

1617
01:13:45,720 --> 01:13:48,800
Speaker 1: We heard this, you know front page News last week

1618
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:52,679
Speaker 1: and boxing, you know Eddie Hearn coming out. We've created

1619
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: a two fight deal, Tyson Fury versus Anthony Joshua.

1620
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,040
Speaker 4: Oh, you know, a deal has been agreed. We've agreed

1621
01:13:59,040 --> 01:14:02,519
Speaker 4: on the financials. It's bullshit, Luke and and it was

1622
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:08,759
Speaker 4: irresponsibly spoken and produced and sorry reported on and headlines

1623
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 4: were made and here's the deal they may have gotten

1624
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:15,599
Speaker 4: together and Tysian Fury and Instagram video praised this controversial fella.

1625
01:14:15,760 --> 01:14:19,479
Speaker 4: Daniel Kinahan of MTK Global his manager, for you know,

1626
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,040
Speaker 4: being on the center of these negotiations.

1627
01:14:22,080 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 1: But this is basically like saying, hey, you know what

1628
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: would be a great NBA Finals, right?

1629
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:30,480
Speaker 3: How about the Lakers against the Sixers.

1630
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 1: But only if they both make it there, and if

1631
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: they do, we gotta we got a deal for a

1632
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:39,080
Speaker 1: seven fight, seven game series, and it's gonna be fantastic.

1633
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:44,519
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Both have two mandatory opponents they need to face. First,

1634
01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,000
Speaker 1: Fury's got to fight Wilder again of all people, and

1635
01:14:48,120 --> 01:14:52,400
Speaker 1: Dillian White, and you know, Joshua's got Kubra Pulev and

1636
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:56,400
Speaker 1: Alexander Usik. So not only are we looking at time,

1637
01:14:57,120 --> 01:14:59,400
Speaker 1: we are looking at the potential of having to pay off,

1638
01:14:59,439 --> 01:15:02,120
Speaker 1: which gets expensive for people to step aside, and you

1639
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:04,160
Speaker 1: gotta win. You know, probably at least one, if not

1640
01:15:04,280 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: both of those to come out and say Summer twenty

1641
01:15:07,160 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: one two fight series fifty to fifty split like save me,

1642
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,000
Speaker 1: spare me that.

1643
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:14,240
Speaker 2: Okay, And so then why did they do it?

1644
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 1: A couple of different things attention. You know, I'm sure

1645
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 1: it's boxing, so I'm sure there's some underlying pressure, sinister

1646
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,879
Speaker 1: element to it. I'm certainly not against obviously this fight happening.

1647
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:33,800
Speaker 1: It's the biggest heavyweight fight you can make. It's one

1648
01:15:33,840 --> 01:15:36,120
Speaker 1: of the biggest in the whole sport. It's the biggest

1649
01:15:36,160 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 1: in British history. It's the potential of all four titles

1650
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,040
Speaker 1: on the line and have an undispeted champion, but like,

1651
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:45,280
Speaker 1: we are so far away from it even happen. It's

1652
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,759
Speaker 1: not like what we did in the Fury Wilder rematch

1653
01:15:48,800 --> 01:15:50,600
Speaker 1: where we were like, okay, wild there's got to be

1654
01:15:51,200 --> 01:15:53,719
Speaker 1: Ortiz first. But if that happens, we're good. We're gonna

1655
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 1: get this everything signed. There's a lot that has to happen.

1656
01:15:57,040 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 1: So it just seems very irresponsible for Herning Company come

1657
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:02,719
Speaker 1: out and flaunt and promote that when.

1658
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 3: You would do this fight because you have the potential

1659
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:07,200
Speaker 3: of all four belts at stake.

1660
01:16:07,439 --> 01:16:10,240
Speaker 1: There's no I mean, we saw Anthony Joshua get knocked out,

1661
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 1: there's you know, we've seen Tyson Fury just disappear like it.

1662
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:16,639
Speaker 1: To come out and announce that as something that's rock

1663
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: solid is just ridiculous.

1664
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 2: Well leave it to boxing to do something ridiculous. Hey,

1665
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 2: b C, have you paid attention to any of this

1666
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,360
Speaker 2: stuff related to the NBA? And then college athletes, here's

1667
01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,479
Speaker 2: what I mean. So some of these like student athletes

1668
01:16:30,520 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 2: at these major universities for football are reporting to voluntary practice.

1669
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you can ask whether it's voluntary or not,

1670
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:39,120
Speaker 2: but they are, and I think I forget what school was.

1671
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 2: It was a major D one program that had six

1672
01:16:41,000 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 2: tests positive for COVID overnight, so they had to kind

1673
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 2: of like halt it for just a moment. And then

1674
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:48,519
Speaker 2: on the other side it wasn't so much a COVID concern.

1675
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:51,200
Speaker 2: But you have like Kyrie Irving Arts Showtime Zone Stephen

1676
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:56,120
Speaker 2: Jackson saying, you know, there shouldn't be a season. How

1677
01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 2: much sports are there going to be in the fall

1678
01:16:58,760 --> 01:17:01,640
Speaker 2: for different reasons, all all kinds of different things. On

1679
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:03,320
Speaker 2: the COVID side, are they just going to roll through

1680
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 2: it because they're making those student athletes sign those waivers

1681
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,840
Speaker 2: not dissimilar from what the UFC made people signed in Jacksonville,

1682
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 2: Like if you get it, it's on you kind of

1683
01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,920
Speaker 2: a thing. It's not the situation for the NBA. But

1684
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 2: like now they're saying, do we really want to do this?

1685
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,599
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I'm and in baseball we talked

1686
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 2: about earlier. They can't seem to work out a deal.

1687
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:20,719
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I don't know how many sports

1688
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:21,719
Speaker 2: are going to be there in the fall.

1689
01:17:22,720 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: I don't mean to be a doom is Coming Luke

1690
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,280
Speaker 1: Thomas type guy, but the whole idea of a you know,

1691
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 1: second wave of COVID this fall, you know, late fall

1692
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:34,280
Speaker 1: during flu season, and the idea of everything that we've

1693
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,920
Speaker 1: done successfully to reopen could get slam shut and closed again. Yes,

1694
01:17:38,000 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 1: I want to win my bet of full arenas by

1695
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: February of twenty twenty one, and I certainly think it's possible.

1696
01:17:43,439 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, And it's interesting here. It's something that

1697
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 1: you and I said when we originally talked about fighter paid.

1698
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,439
Speaker 1: The whole idea of like what's right is for these

1699
01:17:51,439 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: guys to get paid well. But there's potential that for

1700
01:17:54,439 --> 01:17:58,599
Speaker 1: that to happen. You could see a lockout. You could

1701
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: see you know, fighters holding out, you could see poor

1702
01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 1: matchmaking in order to make this happen, things that we

1703
01:18:04,400 --> 01:18:06,639
Speaker 1: don't want to see. It kind of sucks that because

1704
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 1: of UFC structure, it's actually the best way for fans

1705
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: to see this stuff. Where we're seeing baseball, you know,

1706
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: it's so unionized and so set up to let the

1707
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 1: players have a voice that you.

1708
01:18:18,200 --> 01:18:21,240
Speaker 3: Know, things can get in the way, seasons can get canceled.

1709
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: So I don't know.

1710
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 3: I don't know, Luke, I don't know what's going to

1711
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 3: happen this fall.

1712
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:28,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I kind of assumed from the beginning, to

1713
01:18:28,760 --> 01:18:31,479
Speaker 1: be honest, that fights would continue to go on because

1714
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,679
Speaker 1: fight people that fight are you know, sort of naturally

1715
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,280
Speaker 1: reckless to begin with. And it seems like, you know,

1716
01:18:37,320 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 1: when you don't have the giant players associations, you don't

1717
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,240
Speaker 1: have this hold up. But it's interesting because you know,

1718
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:46,519
Speaker 1: tying into the to the whole thing about unions and stuff.

1719
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:47,599
Speaker 3: We saw Dana White on.

1720
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: That first Take interview where he was really challenged what

1721
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:51,120
Speaker 1: was the name of the x NFL.

1722
01:18:50,840 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 2: Player who is oh uh, Dominique Foxworth, who did a

1723
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 2: great job in being honest and saying, look, I don't

1724
01:18:56,640 --> 01:18:57,479
Speaker 2: have all the details.

1725
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:00,599
Speaker 1: Maybe this is the debate I can't win. But you know,

1726
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:03,680
Speaker 1: why are you kind of dismissive? And here's the thing

1727
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 1: about Dana, like, say what you will about the fighters'

1728
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:09,800
Speaker 1: rights and the whole idea of a potential fighters association,

1729
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 1: he doesn't he rarely ever addressed is the actual topic

1730
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:17,160
Speaker 1: you bring up, the disparity over fighter payer, the you know,

1731
01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 1: the anger of the fighters, and it's always sort of like, well,

1732
01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:20,800
Speaker 1: these guys got an eight fight deal, what do you

1733
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 1: want me to do? It's always deflect, deflect, deflect. It

1734
01:19:23,479 --> 01:19:25,719
Speaker 1: was good to see him in this one spot challenge.

1735
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: But Luke, you heard his answer about you know, fighter Union,

1736
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:30,280
Speaker 1: Well that's on them and good luck to them, and

1737
01:19:30,320 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: you know, there's a certain element to that. But also

1738
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: we are lucky in a sort of interesting way that

1739
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 1: we don't have that.

1740
01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 3: So these fights can go on.

1741
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 1: UFC may still be the only game in town come

1742
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 1: August or September. Luke, you just don't know.

1743
01:19:46,200 --> 01:19:48,479
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you. I'm when they made that deal

1744
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:50,439
Speaker 2: for the NBA to go over to Disney World, I

1745
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 2: was like, all right, well there's gonna be basketball. To

1746
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 2: be short lived, but they'll be basketball. I don't know,

1747
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:57,559
Speaker 2: and I don't know what the hell college sports are

1748
01:19:57,600 --> 01:19:59,320
Speaker 2: going to do. I'm guessing some of them will happen.

1749
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:01,200
Speaker 2: Maybe all of them wi happen. Again, I'm not making

1750
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 2: a declaration. It's just I don't know. The good news

1751
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 2: about UFC and combat sports and boxing is it's it's

1752
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 2: strangely simpler, and so because it's simpler, it's just it's

1753
01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 2: just much more ready made for our current era when

1754
01:20:15,240 --> 01:20:20,479
Speaker 2: you have teams and student athletes and unions and everything else.

1755
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:25,639
Speaker 2: Jesus it's gonna be a show, Come come to Fall. Yeah.

1756
01:20:25,680 --> 01:20:27,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's going something to pay attention to, though,

1757
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:29,080
Speaker 2: because it might the UFC might be the only game

1758
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: in town for a while. By the way, all right,

1759
01:20:33,280 --> 01:20:36,200
Speaker 2: with that in mind, let's remind everyone you can go

1784
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:43,120
Speaker 1: conditioned now to watch really interesting documentaries on Sunday nights.

1785
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:45,800
Speaker 1: From Jordan to Lance. The Undertaker thing had been going on.

1786
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: It's been pretty good. You see this Maguire Sosa crap.

1787
01:21:48,960 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Why does Sammy Sosa look like he's a wax figure.

1788
01:21:51,560 --> 01:21:52,200
Speaker 3: In a museum?

1789
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,719
Speaker 2: Bro I was saying this before. It's like he didn't

1790
01:21:54,760 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 2: just bleach his skin, which, by the way, to Jeremy

1791
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:59,360
Speaker 2: Shaff he did not deny. He acknowledged a yad and

1792
01:21:59,360 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 2: then he asked him why and his answer was, well,

1793
01:22:02,360 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 2: this was a previous interview, not the one from last night.

1794
01:22:04,600 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 2: He had said, Eh, it makes me happy. Okay, fair enough.

1795
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 2: I mean that's his right, no doubt about it. But

1796
01:22:09,439 --> 01:22:13,200
Speaker 2: it didn't just like change his skin tone. It changed

1797
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:18,000
Speaker 2: his skin. He didn't. He didn't look right, and the

1798
01:22:18,040 --> 01:22:20,560
Speaker 2: documentary kind of sucked because they didn't get to the

1799
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 2: most interesting part about steroids till later. And then they

1800
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:26,720
Speaker 2: tried to bury bonds at the end and it it

1801
01:22:26,840 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 2: just didn't work for me. It's like, dude, I remember

1802
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:30,519
Speaker 2: I was a freshman. I was in boot camp when

1803
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,639
Speaker 2: all that was happening BC. I went to boot camp

1804
01:22:32,720 --> 01:22:36,519
Speaker 2: on June ninth, and I graduated August twenty eighth, okay

1805
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 2: of nineteen ninety eight that summer, and I remember when

1806
01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:41,840
Speaker 2: I got home, they were nearing what was it, the

1807
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:44,880
Speaker 2: fifty sixty seventy mark in home runs for that year,

1808
01:22:44,880 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 2: if you recall, and that was one of the most

1809
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,840
Speaker 2: exciting things to watch in sports. I'll just say it

1810
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,760
Speaker 2: out loud. Listen. Every sports athletes have to make their

1811
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:56,479
Speaker 2: own choice. Every sport is different. For me, I didn't

1812
01:22:56,479 --> 01:22:59,920
Speaker 2: have any problem with steroids in baseball. Bob Costas was

1813
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 2: crying in this documentary, Bob, grab a tissue, buddy. It

1814
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:06,320
Speaker 2: ain't that serious. I loved it, loved it.

1815
01:23:08,960 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 1: Nobody likes to see their their beloved baseball records broken, Okay,

1816
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean that's why.

1817
01:23:14,200 --> 01:23:18,400
Speaker 2: I mean, these baseball fans the religiosity that they impose

1818
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:21,679
Speaker 2: on baseball like it's some kind of fucking sanctified game.

1819
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:26,080
Speaker 2: This is the game of Ty Cobb, motherfucker. Please let

1820
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:29,720
Speaker 2: them do steroids and all the tobacco they want. What

1821
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:31,640
Speaker 2: do I care? The ballflies further over the head and

1822
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 2: makes it exciting? Wow? How am I going to sleep

1823
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:33,800
Speaker 2: this night?

1824
01:23:34,520 --> 01:23:37,000
Speaker 1: You know what's the difference between steroids and baseball and

1825
01:23:37,080 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 1: Mickey Mantle staying out all night and then eating like

1826
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,520
Speaker 1: a handful of amphetamines on the way into the clubhouse.

1827
01:23:42,120 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 2: In the morning. Nothing? Nothing, absolutely nothing.

1828
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:49,040
