158
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, but there's the thing. I'm already up. I'm up

159
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 2: before all my competitors. I find out the exact Secondarial

160
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: wakes up, I get up one minute before.

161
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: Look, is that because you're still high off Delta E's

162
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: and you couldn't sleep from the night before.

163
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: Because I gotta take a huge dump probably, but you know,

164
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 2: you know why, Look because I'm back on this AG

165
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: one grind. So I'm in the restroom.

166
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: Every you know, it's a scam, right like it there's

167
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: nothing to it.

168
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: Not a scam full of vitamins. Bro It may not

169
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 2: it may not cure cancer, help your hangovers, but but.

170
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't do anything.

171
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: It can't make you a lord or a layered but

172
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 2: it makes me feel good. It keeps me healthy. And

173
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 2: until my my uh see, I hell was on auto

174
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: renewal for like a year and forgot about it, and

175
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: then my wife got on me. She's like, you know

176
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: that cupboard always there over there that you don't go in.

177
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: She's like, there's more ag one in that Hubbard than

178
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: in any third world country at the moment, you know

179
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: what I mean.

180
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: So, yeah, it's a scam. It doesn't do anything.

181
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 2: I think you're wrong. I think you'd be surprised.

182
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 1: Actually well, I mean I think the studies that have

183
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: looked into it actually are pretty.

184
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: You're always big on studies, but where is your personal

185
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: artifacts of your own experience. None. You just listen to

186
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: the scientists all the time. You and Fauji, well, you

187
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: and Latin Fouchi all the time.

188
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I listen. That's right. I listened to the scientists.

189
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: That's right. Tends tends to work out better when you

190
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: do that. Not all, but typically I live on vibes. Look,

191
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: you know this, okay, Team Team Team vibes is in

192
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: the house. Speaking of team vibes, let's go to Bong,

193
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: Island's greatest our friend in yours. He is the one

194
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: half of the main card minute. He doesn't have a

195
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: hat on today.

196
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 3: I really haven't had. I have a hat on in

197
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 3: studio usually. That's why it's.

198
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: Gonna be cold as fucking there. How are you doing

199
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: Long Island, Luke?

200
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 3: I'm good.

201
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 4: I'm hyped for the GFL Draft tonight. I don't know

202
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: if anyone else is. I'm saying to BC, I think

203
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 4: I'm more hyped for the draft than I am for

204
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 4: the actual fights.

205
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: But uh, you wanna watch along for it at eight pm?

206
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: If any Now, why are you high for the GFL draft?

207
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: What is the reasoning for your hyped this?

208
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 4: I'm just more interested to see how these picks go.

209
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 4: Are they going to pick young prospects we've never really

210
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 4: heard of? Are they gonna pick I think there's nine

211
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 4: if you count Tony Ferguson as an interim champion, now

212
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 4: ten former UFC champions in the pool. I think there's

213
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 4: nine Bellator former Belator champions in the pool.

214
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 2: So there's like they just signed Dave Manet and Nico

215
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 2: Montano too in the latch though.

216
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 3: All right, so Nico Montano'll make it eleven.

217
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: But I'm kidding either way.

218
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: There's enough intrigue there even if these guys are old

219
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 4: and washed.

220
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 3: Not all of them are washed. We'll get to that later.

221
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,520
Speaker 1: But it's a combination of people who are either old

222
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: and washed or are young and unproven.

223
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, the young and unproven is interesting, and then

224
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 4: you get some of the old and washed guys for

225
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: some name value.

226
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 3: I'll tune into these cars.

227
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: Man, Now, do you have any interest in the PFL

263
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 2: I've got three cats and two dogs. I desperately want

264
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 2: to get two to three more cats. But my wife

265
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: looks at that as a personal issue with me, and

266
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 2: you know, really stands firm in that. You know, She's like,

267
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 2: if you're gonna travel the globe for your job, I'm

268
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: not watching all your cats.

269
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: You know that's a fair point. All right, So you're

270
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: ready to get this started.

271
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's hit this. But also let's hit this hard. Luke,

272
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 2: all right, hard men, all right, all right.

273
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 1: So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna talk about

274
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 1: PFL today. We're gonna talk about GFL. We're gonna do

275
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,320
Speaker 1: a mini little draft. I'm gonna pick twenty people. BC's

276
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: gonna pick twenty people, we've already picked them. We're not

277
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: gonna do it live on air. But then we're gonna

278
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: go over our teams. We'll talk about some of the

279
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 1: boxing headlines that have been around, will react to the

280
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: OA in a ways. When so let's get this tough

281
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: process started. BC Topic number one you mentioned it. You

282
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: interviewed both guys from the PFL main event. As I've said,

283
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: one of the very best fights at lightweight you could

284
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: make outside of the UFC, And honestly, I would put it.

285
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say on par with any lightweight fight

286
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: you could make a UFC because they have the best division,

287
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: but I would say it's on par with any you know,

288
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 1: top five guy, top seven versus top five guy that

289
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 1: the UFC could make. So let's talk about it. Uspin

290
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: Nimberger made off your defending still the Bellotore title, which

291
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 1: we see, which I know is weird, but let me

292
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: just get it out. He is defending his belt War

293
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,359
Speaker 1: title against Paul Hughes in the main event of tomorrow's

294
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: PFL Dubai BC. You talk to both, so explain to

295
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,079
Speaker 1: the viewers what does a win mean to each competitor

296
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: beyond just obviously preserving the title. And then where would

297
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: you rank the winner of this among all active lightweights?

298
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 2: Wow, I mean, look, there's a lot of things to say.

299
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 3: One.

300
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: I heard Peter Murray i PFL say this week that

301
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:36,960
Speaker 2: this will be the final time this Belatore title will

302
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: be defended. I do not know if that means the

303
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: winner of this becomes the PFL lightweight champion or will

304
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 2: there be a subsequent tournament or some form. We'll figure

305
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: that out. Still a little unclear exactly where PFL is

306
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 2: going right here, but this fight is massive. I mean,

307
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,200
Speaker 2: I think you could argue the winner could potentially be

308
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: the pomp for palm best in PFL because these are

309
00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 2: two of the higher class guys they have. And I

310
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: know a lot of people have been saying a lot

311
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: of the same things critically against the PFL, but I

312
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: think we're all kind of right. These are the type

313
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 2: of fights they should be focusing on and pushing rather

314
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: than tournaments with C and you know, C minus level

315
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: guys in multiple rematches. What you're looking at here is

316
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: an opportunity for the winner to really stamp themselves, not

317
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: within necessarily just the PFL and what's left of Belator here,

318
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: but worldwide. As you said, if it's Normalga Mettoffen, he

319
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: does it spectacularly with that unbeaten record, family history, and

320
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: his own public comments about eventually when Islam is ready

321
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 2: to move out of the UFC lightweight division his intentions

322
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 2: of following him, then certainly it's probably a bigger deal

323
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 2: for him from the standpoint of where exactly does he

324
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: rank globally in this division? But just the same on

325
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 2: the flip side, Paul Hughes came in as an underdog

326
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 2: against AJ McKee, and even though after three rounds that

327
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 2: was a split decision back in Riod last fall, you know,

328
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 2: rewatching that fight again this morning, Luke, I really feel

329
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: like Paul Hughes landed the better shots and really should

330
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 2: have won that unanimously. If he goes in there and

331
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: doubles up now, because the matchup we always wanted in Bellator,

332
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: I always wanted was Usman versus McKee. When the rosters merged,

333
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: I still thought it was the best matchup you can

334
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: make in all of PFL. Yeah, Paul Hughes came in

335
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: here and showed us that he's ready for the big time.

336
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 2: Could you imagine if he goes in there and beats

337
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 2: Usmann or Maga metof what that would say about him

338
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 2: globally and all that I talked to them both. You

339
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 2: could check out the interviews on the BCX, But ultimately

340
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: the confidence with both is huge. I think PFL was

341
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 2: lucky that this fight kind of became a larger story

342
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 2: because you got Habib in the corner, You've got an

343
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 2: Irish fighter on the other side. He was unable to

344
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: get Connor, although Paul you said after that win against AJ,

345
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 2: I want Connor McGregor in my corner. You do wonder

346
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 2: if this would be even bigger if BKFC didn't have

347
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:51,239
Speaker 2: an event this weekend, and if maybe the Middle East,

348
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: you know, brought down their threshold on substance abuse control

349
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 2: levels and allowed Connor to be part of it. But

350
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: either way, but be playing up the Iris versus Augustan

351
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 2: MMA thing. We're coming off of Umar's loss just a

352
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: week ago, surprisingly, so there's a lot going on here,

353
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: a lot to prove. But what did Usman tell me?

354
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 2: This is not a tough test at all, This will

355
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: be easy. And what did Paul Hughes tell me? I

356
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: won't walk out of this cage unless I do after

357
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: Usman is laying there unconscious. So you have two absolutely confident,

358
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: absolutely jacked up fighters literally looking to make their name

359
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: and what will probably be the biggest and toughest fight

360
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: in their career. Now Usman quibbles with that, He says no,

361
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: Hugh says nothing. Shablie last time. Now, that was a

362
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 2: tough test, But Luke, I think he's going to be

363
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 2: surprised in the end. I'm not saying I'm outright picking

364
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: an upset here, but Paul Hughes is here. He's got defense, confidence, power, wrestling,

365
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 2: a very good top game. This is a real fight.

366
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: But I do want to spin it back to you

367
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 2: about the odds. You have Usman and Maaga Metov at

368
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 2: nineteen and zero as basically a seven to one favorite

369
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 2: against nearly the five to one underdog Hughes. That is

370
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 2: something I don't fully get at this point because I

371
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: speak of Usman's greatness as much as anyone else, but

372
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: you got to recognize that he's got a real hungry,

373
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: live body across.

374
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: From seven to one that is way way more. I

375
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: don't have any issue with this. Uspin Numberga made off

376
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: being the favorite, even perhaps by some distance. He is

377
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 1: the more accomplished between the two. I think he's proven

378
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: a little bit more to this point between the two.

379
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: But I find that very very that's surprising to me.

380
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,000
Speaker 1: I'll actually you know what Long Island, Luke, you're a DJN.

381
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 1: Are you surprised by those odds? And have you taken

382
00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 1: any Paul Hughes action as a consequence.

383
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 3: Uh, I'm not surprised at the odd. Sorry, I got

384
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 3: my cat calling all over me.

385
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: I haven't taken any action on it yet, but I

386
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 4: will say, Paul Hughes with the spread on DraftKings plus

387
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: nine and a half, so you just need him to

388
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:51,200
Speaker 4: win one round on all the judges' scorecards minus won

389
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: twenty five for that.

390
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 3: I like that a lot.

391
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: That's sh I take that. We'll also win one round

392
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: out of five on all three judges scorecards.

393
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 4: But it has to go to dis I mean, he

394
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 4: has to not get finished too. Also the under. I'm

395
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 4: not a big under guy, but the under four and

396
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 4: a half at plus one eighty. Both of these guys

397
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 4: mostly finished their fights. I think that's worth throwing a

398
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 4: sprinkle on. Other than that, not much value on usman.

399
00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 4: Sure if you want to sprinkle on Paul Hughes, but

400
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 4: you're probably throwing your money away at that point.

401
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, I appreciate.

402
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: It, Elodie. Yeah, I'm sorry. I just wanted to jump in,

403
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: you know, having just rewatched the McKee fight, I can't

404
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: believe Paul Hughes is this good. How shocked, were you

405
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 2: that he proved in that fight that he's not just

406
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,439
Speaker 2: at that level, but maybe even above it.

407
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 1: I was one of those ones where I was like, Okay,

408
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: if McKee wins, that's not necessarily all that surprising. McKee

409
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: again had proven a lot up to that point, relatively speaking.

410
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 1: But I thought, you know, Hughes, I think is going

411
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: to surprise some people. I thought, even in maybe perhaps

412
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: in a defeat, he's going to really show that he's

413
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: of that caliber. And then he just outright one and

414
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 1: I thought looked really good down the stretch, and I

415
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: thought made good adjustments and had well roundedness. Like, dude,

416
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,400
Speaker 1: he's I mean, this is someone asked me yesterday, how

417
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 1: do you know if a prospect is good? And there's

418
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: a lot of different ways you can tell, but one

419
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,919
Speaker 1: of them is obviously just by looking at the record,

420
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: to what extent do they have any five round experience

421
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: on the regional scene, and then in those five round fights,

422
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: can you tell if they had to make any adjustments

423
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: to really get ahead. Paul Hughes had that before he

424
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: ever got to PFL. He had been in five round

425
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: fights in Cage Warriors and had to kind of think

426
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: through them to really get ahead in the end. And

427
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 1: this really really developed him into such a better fighter.

428
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 1: Obviously by having the skills to leverage to begin with,

429
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: but you know, being pressed to apply them in high

430
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: stress situations, to me is the mark of a great fighter,

431
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 1: and he's done that again. This is another level itself,

432
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: but up to this point he has shown that. Nevertheless,

433
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: I would like to play some audio if we can

434
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: Usbin nimber Goomdov was basically asked about Paul Hughes. He's

435
00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: been insanely dismissive of him, even calling him something like

436
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: an amateur. Played the clip Long Island.

437
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 5: Luke for me, this guy likes some amateur guy. No

438
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 5: of I'm a world champion amateur and I meant someone

439
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: like him meanwell, but in professional arena, I never admit

440
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 5: someone his level. Maybe my first in fight was someone

441
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 5: like him. But I'm ready for him. But I prepare.

442
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 5: I can't prepare to this guy, but he cannot prepare

443
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: to me.

444
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,119
Speaker 1: B See, I gotta tell you, I just don't share

445
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: that analysis at all. Whatsoever.

446
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: I understand being cocky, I understand or I understand being confident.

447
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 2: Let me say that, and you know, the more that

448
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 2: we see the extended lineage here of the you know,

449
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 2: abdomen app tree of these great these four in particular

450
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: great fighters. The more you see their personality come out

451
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: as each of them grows in English, you tend to

452
00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 2: see that they're hilarious, that they're confident. But he's been

453
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: literally outright dismissive of his foe in ways that I

454
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 2: think have been surprising from the a little you know

455
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: of what we've known about usman or Maga Medov's character,

456
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 2: at least again, like I said publicly in English, Luke,

457
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: what do you make of that? Is it just to

458
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 2: hype himself up to to constantly push Irish Mma back?

459
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,880
Speaker 2: Because even though Connor's not gonna be there, and even

460
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 2: though it isn't conn you know, Habi versus Connor part two,

461
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 2: that's still kind of lingering in the mist right. Do

462
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: you think it's just sort of like, well, f this

463
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:28,119
Speaker 2: Irish guy, the McGregor war still on, he ain't nothing,

464
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: let's let let's let the world know. Or are they

465
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 2: really overlooking what he brings? Because I can understand if

466
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 2: you watch the tape and you go, okay, Paul Hughes

467
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 2: is not spectacular, but Luke. He is solid, fundamental patient defense.

468
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 2: Like he's got the intangibles, he's got the foundation and

469
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 2: basically every category and if you talk to him, he's

470
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: got the real confidence, the real will inside of there.

471
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 2: I gotta say, I'm shocked that Usman at every turn

472
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 2: has been like, ahh ah, this guy's nothing. I laugh

473
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 2: at him.

474
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, we have another video of them. They

475
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: were doing media this week and they had to do

476
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: basically out side by side kind of like you know,

477
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: face off semi face off thing, and they were jibber

478
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 1: jabbering at each other and again, dude, Ousman very dismissive

479
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 1: of this guy. Roll the tape.

480
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 4: We can do it here few days.

481
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 5: If you want to, can do it here, they will want.

482
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: Bro, we're fighting four days.

483
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 3: You focus on that day.

484
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 5: I'm focused all day. Every day you're looking.

485
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 3: You're looking past me.

486
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: Who are you exactly?

487
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 3: We'll see what.

488
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 6: You chalk.

489
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 2: That's your mistake.

490
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,440
Speaker 1: Hell, I'm telling you listen. If Ouspan goes in there

491
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,440
Speaker 1: and just runs over him, you'll be like, Okay, well

492
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 1: that's what the new Maerker medofs typically do. But if

493
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: Paul Hughes actual ends up doing things that he says

494
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna do that. That tape right there is going

495
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 1: to blow up in Usman's face to the most dramatic

496
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: degree and would actually be the worst week in Nurmiga

497
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: made off fighting history coming off of last saturdays competitive

498
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: but losing effort between Umar Nurmga madev obviously in Rob

499
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: Dawallash Wheelly. I gotta tell you, dare I say BC

500
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 1: that this fight has actually been promoted in a way

501
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: that has actually got me interested. The stakes, the youth,

502
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: the talent. I love it.

503
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 2: The loose Connor versus Abib thing lingering, Habib being smart

504
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: enough in all their promotional PFL work to talk trash

505
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 2: and be like, yeah, Irish versus August, not MMA, not

506
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 2: even a debate that has really fueled the headlines. But

507
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 2: I think these two fighters organically on their own, just

508
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 2: by like being themselves right there, have made this fight

509
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 2: pretty damn big. I mean, I really hope PFL gets it.

510
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 2: This is the first of their new series in Dubai.

511
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,320
Speaker 2: Right they used to call it last year the belat

512
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: Or Championship Series. It was sometimes on the Max app.

513
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 2: This fight will be on the Max App. They've now

514
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:04,640
Speaker 2: changed the branding twice in the last couple of months,

515
00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: from PFL Road to Dubai to now whatever you're gonna

516
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,640
Speaker 2: call It doesn't matter. The whole point is I hope

517
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 2: the promotion realizes the true strengths that they do have.

518
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,000
Speaker 2: The strengths are not in the smart cage and the

519
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 2: regular season tournament format that's been altered. The strengths are Dakota, Ditcheva,

520
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 2: Paul Hughes, Ousman PATCHI mix all of these guys that

521
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 2: once again we want to see a singular PFL title

522
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: in each division to find out who's the best in

523
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 2: house in there. And maybe this is the right template here.

524
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 2: I know they're still gonna roll out the convoluted Grand

525
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:42,959
Speaker 2: Prix setup, which really doesn't guarantee the winner anything right

526
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:46,240
Speaker 2: outside of a purse, But this is the best of

527
00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: what PFL can bring. In my opinion, this fight deserves

528
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 2: the small pockets of hype it's been getting, especially on

529
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: the ground in Dubai. But Luke, tell me if I'm

530
00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:59,679
Speaker 2: crazy here, I'm not comparing Paul Hughes to Morob and

531
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 2: saying he's on that level. I got Morob number four,

532
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: pau for part of the world and He's riding a

533
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,919
Speaker 2: twelve fight win streak and just beat five former champion

534
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: and great fighters in a row. But after seeing Umar

535
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 2: look surprisingly human in a fight that he was a

536
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 2: three to one favorite, do you think that cosmically, we're

537
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 2: all starting to go maybe these guys are human. Maybe

538
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: Paul Hughes is even liver of a dog in this fight,

539
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 2: because we just saw last week of what could happen

540
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 2: that even though these Great four fighters under Abdulman app

541
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 2: before last week had a ninety one to one combined record,

542
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: and I know Hubib's already retired and gone, but like

543
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: it showed you what's possible. Do you think Paul Hughes

544
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 2: has anything whether it be Intangible's mindset, game plan that

545
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: can be kind of COMPARTA can look at the Morob

546
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: fight and go, Okay, I see what I have to

547
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 2: do to try to make this as close as possible.

548
00:24:57,560 --> 00:24:59,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he looks into anything like that.

549
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: I think that he just is probably examining the fight

550
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,639
Speaker 1: for what it is in front of him and what

551
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 1: he's got in front of him. I doubt he's looking

552
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: at the I mean, he might have taken a little

553
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: bit of comfort from the fact that anim goade of

554
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,080
Speaker 1: lost and it shows it can be done, or something

555
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:13,639
Speaker 1: like that. And of course you know when I'm not

556
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 1: talking abou Abbobookar or Siet or something like that. But

557
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 1: you know, the more tight knit part of the family,

558
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 1: there might be some uplifting of spirits, but you still

559
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: just have to go out there and do it against

560
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 1: a guy who's very good. But I'll say this man,

561
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,440
Speaker 1: I mean Usman is very very talented. Again, I don't

562
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,639
Speaker 1: think it's in any way crazy. He's the favorite and

563
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: deservedly so, but rather he can be at times risk adverse.

564
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 1: I think at times he I think if you can

565
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 1: stuff takedowns on him. It's not to say that's an

566
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: easy victory at that point. In fact, no one's been

567
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 1: able to do it. But I think that definitely stifles him.

568
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: He likes to mix it. He's a little bit more

569
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Islam Makachev than he is Habib, despite whatever his last

570
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: name might say. And so I think if you can

571
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 1: disrupt a little bit, but I would say even a

572
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: little bit more risk averse. So if you can disrupt

573
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: what's going on in the wrestling, that's a big if.

574
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: But if you can do that it really begins to

575
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,720
Speaker 1: change the game a little bit. I think Paul Hughes

576
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,640
Speaker 1: is up against it. This is certainly the toughest fight

577
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: of his career, but the last fight was the toughest

578
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: fight of his career, and he shined brighter than even

579
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: I thought he couldn't. I thought he was going to

580
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:12,280
Speaker 1: come out of there looking great. I'll say this, Usman's

581
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: probably your deserved favorite, but he's got his hands full

582
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 1: tomorrow with this kid, and don't be surprised. Do not

583
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,479
Speaker 1: be surprised if Paul Hughes either a wins or at

584
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: a bare minimum pushes Usman in a way that really

585
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: nobody else has up to this point, including He's right.

586
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: Usman's last Opponentsxer Shablie was very very good. But I

587
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: think Paul Hughes has a fire, a belief. I think

588
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: he's good at taking the back. He's got good ground

589
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: and pound. I think he's got pretty decent takedown defense

590
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a little bit of an issue for him.

591
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 1: And I think he's got better pure boxing, although not

592
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 1: quite as good kickboxing as Usman. This is a competitive

593
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: ass fight, at least it should be, and I really

594
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: really excited about what's going to happen tomorrow.

595
00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: Look, I was the most shocking part of the AJ

596
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: McKee fight for me from Paul Hughes was his ability

597
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 2: to crowd and pressure a very skilled fighter and have

598
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: the defense to swivel and the creativity of his shots,

599
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 2: meaning he doesn't do anything flashy, but there's a variety

600
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,760
Speaker 2: of upper cuts hooks. Look, he was routinely hurting McKee,

601
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 2: not just the jumping knee attempts, but the upper cuts.

602
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 2: There was a lot going on there. If you put

603
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 2: that same pressure on usman, what happens.

604
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: I think people put pressure on usban and have some success.

605
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,919
Speaker 1: The problem is the challenge that Paul Hughes has is

606
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: doing it in some kind of sustained way. You can

607
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 1: pressure and win individual exchanges against him. You can pressure

608
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: him and frustrate him, or at a bare minimum, make

609
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: him very very cautious or risk averse. It's just hard

610
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: to do that for twenty five minutes. Again, this is

611
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,439
Speaker 1: why I think it's been being the favorite is not

612
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: some scandal by in stretch of the imagination. Paul Hughes

613
00:27:55,440 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: has to do something that's very, very difficult to do

614
00:27:58,440 --> 00:27:59,720
Speaker 1: because you have to do it over the course of

615
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: time unless you've got like a gigantic punch, but even

616
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 1: that one is going to be hard to land. It's

617
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: just that Paul Hughes, I think is scrappier than people realize.

618
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,639
Speaker 1: I think both in a general sense and then in

619
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: terms of scrambling ability. He's very good there. He's got

620
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: infinite self belief and is Usbin looking past Paul Hughes.

621
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 1: That to me is the most interesting part BCE. I

622
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: normally don't buy into. Like you know, I'm not suggesting

623
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: that Uspin didn't properly prepare. I suspect that he put

624
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: in a very very rigorous camp. If for no other reason,

625
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: then the people around him made him. But I you know,

626
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't think that was the issue. I think he

627
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: had to. But like you know, if you don't take

628
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:42,239
Speaker 1: your opponent seriously and or you to bare minhiam think

629
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: he's only capable of that, and then they all of

630
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: a sudden show up with this, that can be a

631
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,160
Speaker 1: very deflating and derailing event. I just I'm telling you.

632
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this is good matchmaking. This is what

633
00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: PFL needs to do. People, if you want to kill

634
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: PFL for all of their bad decisions, and again putting

635
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 1: this Dubai doesn't make the most amount of sense other

636
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: than that's just who their customer is, the government there.

637
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: But in terms of making compelling fights, this is one

638
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: of the best lightweight fights in MMA. Seriously, I'm a

639
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 1: non UFC title edition like this is awesome, awesome, awesome

640
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: stuff and I really cannot wait.

641
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: Now. Look, we didn't get all the answers from the

642
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: second mic HEC MMA fighting town hall with Don Davis

643
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 2: about pfl's future. We did see a better handling of

644
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 2: the pr message, but still some holes. There's still some

645
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: convoluted elements. There's still too much going on. Do you

646
00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 2: think the promotion is smart enough to realize that the

647
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 2: winner of this should be instantly branded the PFL Lightweight

648
00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 2: Champion and should be ultimately prioritized in how they match

649
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,479
Speaker 2: moving forward in trying to tell the world that we

650
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:54,600
Speaker 2: might have the best lightweight in the world. And again,

651
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 2: even if you don't, if you're close enough and you're

652
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,520
Speaker 2: in the conversation, that's the win. That's why I would

653
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: never get mad if Scott Kocher and the bellatore days

654
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 2: would be like, well, I think in this particular division,

655
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 2: where we're having this Grand Prix, we've got more depth

656
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 2: and top ten talent than the UFC or I think

657
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 2: our champion would fit in well in any other organization's

658
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 2: title picture because these are the type of fighters Patchie

659
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 2: Mix included in my opinion that they really need to

660
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 2: push to the forefront and say we have some of

661
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 2: the best young fighters in the planet right now. If

662
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: they don't, then guess what usman's going to be in

663
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 2: the UFC on day one of his eligibility.

664
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, I think that's totally right. And again, if

665
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: Paul Hughes wins, did you if you have a guy

666
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 1: on your roster that can upset a championship undefeated and

667
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:41,120
Speaker 1: neber got madeoff who's subed thirty years old, you better

668
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: scream that from the rooftops. That And remember how Paul

669
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 1: Hughes ended up signing with PFL. He finished his contract.

670
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: I believer was at the end of whatever he was

671
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,120
Speaker 1: at with Cage Warriors, and he could have easily gone

672
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: to UFC. He could have easily gone to almost any

673
00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 1: suitor he'd wanted, and he chose PFL for what they

674
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 1: were offering him. So if you have a guy who

675
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:05,320
Speaker 1: had a critical juncture in his career, chooses your promotion

676
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 1: over the monopoly behemoth and then upsets the Apple cart

677
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: along the way, beating top belator talent and aj mckeean again.

678
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 1: In this assumed scenario, ouspin freaking Nurmagamadoff. Dude, you know

679
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: they use the tournament to build out what and what

680
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: Dakota Ditscheva has become. If you can get a guy

681
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 1: to develop in your roster with all those things I mentioned,

682
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: and you didn't even have to use the tournament to

683
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 1: get there, scream that as loud as you possibly can,

684
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: because that is special by any measurement, no question about it. Again,

685
00:31:40,560 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: this is a presumed scenario which we may not even

686
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: get to. But in the event that one materializes, BCE,

687
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: they would be fools not to tell the world because

688
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: that would be a legitimate PFL. I mean, it's it's

689
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: Paul Hughes's accomplishment, but in terms of the responsibility in

690
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: this juncture and the recruitment policy that they would have,

691
00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,880
Speaker 1: that would be a agr win for them too as

692
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 1: a promotion. I think telling everyone about that is critical. Now.

693
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 2: I would love to tell them, Luke, you got to

694
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: prioritize when you're on the up. When you're on the

695
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: come up, trying to compete, you have to prioritize fighters

696
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: over brand, over structure, over foundation. I don't want to

697
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 2: hear any more about your tournaments. I want to hear

698
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 2: about your best fighters that can compete anywhere else on

699
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: the globe.

700
00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough, BC, Very quickly with this comin event,

701
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: you got Vadeem Nemkov going back to heavyweight taking on

702
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: Timothy Johnson. This was initially reported as going to be

703
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: the third fight between Vadem Nemkov and Corey Anderson. Vadem

704
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: was like, I didn't even fucking agree to this fight,

705
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: and so that one fell apart and they subbed in

706
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 1: Timothy Johnson. It's gonna be at heavyweight, okay, BC. Is

707
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: the real purpose of this fight to set up Vadeem

708
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 1: Nemkov as who Francis and Ghanu will compete with when

709
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 1: he gets to MMA later at the end of the year.

710
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: Yes, that's the only way that this whole scenario makes sense.

711
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 2: Nemkov showing almost no interest, you know, depending on I

712
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: mean he said, he said on opposite sides. But when

713
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,800
Speaker 2: you hear from Tim Anderson, they say that it was

714
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 2: ultimately Nemcov. We said no, I quote want an easier fight,

715
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: So in theory he's going to get that, even though

716
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 2: obviously it would have been a light heavyweight Anderson moving

717
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,719
Speaker 2: up to heavyweight, so we would have to see how

718
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 2: he would swim in that regard. Johnson is a veteran,

719
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 2: battle tested but we know his limitations. But Luke, if

720
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: this is the case, it is the right move. They

721
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 2: pretty much figure out if you listen to Don Davis's words,

722
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 2: that they're gonna get Francis like last year one time

723
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: in the MMA cage. He still has a lot of

724
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 2: boxing interest, so they have to prioritize that opportunity and

725
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,080
Speaker 2: decision and prop somebody up who can do some things

726
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 2: with Nemkov the fad or connection former bellets or light

727
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: heavyweight champion. If he goes in there on a pretty

728
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: decently big stage for them here and wins and wins

729
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,720
Speaker 2: spectacularly or at least looks like an absolute solid heavyweight

730
00:33:57,880 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 2: as he looks to rebrand himself in this division, it

731
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: would make it would be the right move to go Okay,

732
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 2: smaller than Nhanu, but skilled proven. Look what he just

733
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: did to Johnson. Yeah, let's do this thing. I applaud this. Look,

734
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 2: this is the way to go. But if not, the

735
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 2: hell are we doing here? PFL? Right, what are we

736
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 2: doing here? Let's call me?

737
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: They're doing a heavyweight tournament this season. I wonder if

738
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:26,640
Speaker 1: there is you know, how that's gonna play out. I mean,

739
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,920
Speaker 1: that's probably just backup right, like whoever wins that they

740
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 1: end up being exciting. If it's not nim call of,

741
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:35,800
Speaker 1: it could be that person or whatever. But but either

742
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 1: one of those like Francis and Gando versus a deem Nemkof,

743
00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: I actually don't hate that fight, but it just doesn't

744
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,880
Speaker 1: have any promotional sizzle. And I don't even know what

745
00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: to say about who would be the tournament champion. I

746
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 1: don't know, you know, would you.

747
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,040
Speaker 2: Rather see like Maheta against Ghana at the.

748
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: End of the day, isn't he's on the GFL roster.

749
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: I'm actually if you don't have him drafted in your team,

750
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,640
Speaker 1: I'd actually be surprised since you want to bang him

751
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: big Bang Zang style, No Diddy, No.

752
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:06,879
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't want to Bud, But yeah, thank you.

753
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 1: All right, b C. Let's do this. The topic number two.

754
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:13,879
Speaker 1: The GFL Draft is today. Yes, the Global Flat Fight League.

755
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:15,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how long they're gonna be around. They

756
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,200
Speaker 1: might have a draft and then that's it. They might

757
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:21,240
Speaker 1: even have any event whatsoever. But they're here, ladies and gentlemen,

758
00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:23,960
Speaker 1: and they're ready to rock. Now, let's put this graphic

759
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: on the screen. Is just a favor to them? No? No, no, yeah, yes,

760
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,279
Speaker 1: there it is. Today is the GFL Draft. It's at

00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: It's on Triller, it's on IG, It's on I think

766
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: their YouTube channel. It's gonna be on everywhere that they

767
00:35:49,880 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: have the ability to broadcast, So just go find it.

Speaker 1: gonna pick one hundred and twenty spots for six teams BC.

770
00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: So that means, of course that you're gonna have about

771
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:08,399
Speaker 1: twenty per team for Dubai, London, La, Miami, New York,

772
00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: and then sell Paulo Brazil so BC. The goal of

773
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:16,640
Speaker 1: this exercise was to draft our own teams. Would you

774
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: like to go first and tell us? Now, I'll tell

775
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:21,360
Speaker 1: you what I did. I went weight class by weight class,

776
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,120
Speaker 1: picking one, and then I went over and then I

777
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:25,160
Speaker 1: picked a couple of extra ones, kind of all the

778
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: way down. So I have I think between the men's

779
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,640
Speaker 1: divisions and the women's divisions. Some of them on my

780
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,919
Speaker 1: roster have three, but most have two.

781
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, Luke, I went in the heavyweight division. Junior

782
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 2: DeSanto's got a little bit left Robelis Despone. Hey, let's

783
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 2: build no shod you really, it's the right move. You

784
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: got somebody that's young, that's fun to watch. Yeah, he's

785
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,399
Speaker 2: got holes. He got dropped by the UFC, but let's

786
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 2: rebuild him the right way against absolute scrubs.

787
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:56,640
Speaker 1: What is he going to do against anyone taking him down?

788
00:36:57,480 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 2: Well, Luke, what's going to be the true quality of

789
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 2: the opposition he's gonna face in this League's answer that? Okay? Uh,

790
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,440
Speaker 2: Let's go at light heavyweight with a floater in Tiago

791
00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 2: Santos Maheta who can go between divisions? And you all

792
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: were Mero Luke because you need, you certainly need attractions.

793
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: I at middleweight, I'm going gay guard or middleweight, light heavyweight,

794
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 2: Window going Giguard Musas, Luke rock Hold, and I'm gonna

795
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 2: go Douglas Lima Luke. That's what I'm gonna do.

796
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:25,720
Speaker 1: Right, You're picking like the worst names imaginable.

797
00:37:26,200 --> 00:37:27,880
Speaker 2: I got Nieman Gracie at welter.

798
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: Wait, Okay, I'm fine with that.

799
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 2: At lightweight, I got a mixture of all and new

800
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:37,840
Speaker 2: with Benson Henderson, Demiris Magoolov, Kevin Lee, Dylan Danis Tofkosayev.

801
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 1: Dude, you picked Dylan fucking Dennis.

802
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 2: You need, you need attractions here. You gotta have a

803
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 2: you gotta have a mixed Luke. Okay. You gotta have

804
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 2: a team that people want to tune into but also

805
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:52,240
Speaker 2: that might win. Okay, Let's go Ray Borg, Jimmy Rivera,

806
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 2: Darien Caldwell in the lower weight classes. And then I

807
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:58,440
Speaker 2: got four from the women's side. Give me Arlene Blenco

808
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: Luke because anger, Yeah, don't bring it at forty. Give

809
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 2: me Aspin lad Maria a Gopava because I really like

810
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 2: to see her stay employed and have a house over

811
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 2: head Luke, that's true, and you gotta go page vans D.

812
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 2: You gotta take the biggest brands available to you. So

813
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 2: I got a mix of old new bad.

814
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: You just have old. You don't have almost any new.

815
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: You have just old.

816
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: Okay, Luke, what do you go ahead? Bring me some

817
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:24,959
Speaker 2: guys I never heard of, and we'll see who wants

818
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: to watch Who's first?

819
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Uh, well, it's not. I mean, I'm not trying to

820
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: sell ratings. I'm trying to win the event, are we not?

821
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: Like what's the goal here?

822
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 2: The goal is to actually have a first event if

823
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,799
Speaker 2: you're this promotion, Luke. Okay, so they gotta they got

824
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:41,360
Speaker 2: a draft tonight at eight eastern. Let's see.

825
00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: But uh, all right, First of all, let me tell

826
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: you what my strategy was. My strategy was I did

827
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: not want to discount old names in every case, but

828
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: I wanted to go youthful. My goal was, I think

829
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna get much further, Like just look at PFL,

830
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 1: like who's gonna be better some old UFC wash out

831
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: or like you know when Houshman Fio had his run

832
00:39:02,239 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: or whatever the case, Like it's always these names, Like

833
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 1: I watched the bellatur tournament when it was under the

834
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 1: Buorn revenue era, and then to the extent you watch

835
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:13,319
Speaker 1: PFL tournaments. Yes, sometimes these old faded names from another

836
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,279
Speaker 1: organization can do well. That can happen. I think they

837
00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 1: signed Shoeface. By the way, if someone wanted to have

838
00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: Shoeface on their roster, I wouldn't really have a problem

839
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,440
Speaker 1: with that at all. But in general, youth is just

840
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna be better, even if they're unheralded or to an

841
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 1: extent relative to the aging fighters, if they're untested in

842
00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: the same way. But so here's the way I went. Now,

843
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 1: let me be clear, I did not like a lot

844
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: of my choices at heavyweight. In fact, I hated them,

845
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:37,680
Speaker 1: But this is the best I could do, and I

846
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,439
Speaker 1: think these two are probably ones that I think could

847
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 1: get some wins. So my two choices at heavyweight BC

848
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: Felipe Linz, who I grant his flawed, but I think

849
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more on the youthful side. And

850
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 1: how about this Canada's Lumberjack Tanner Bosser. Now he hasn't

851
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: fought since being released from UFC, but I actually thought

852
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 1: he was a pretty good fighter. I thought he was,

853
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:01,400
Speaker 1: you know, hit a good attitude, he was tough. He

854
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: was again, I think he's only thirty three years old.

855
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: So give me Felipe Lens and Tanner Bosser on my

856
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: heavyweight roster. For light heavyweight, I also picked you Wel Romero.

857
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 1: I think that he is obviously aging, but in a

858
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:20,000
Speaker 1: way that is unusual for anybody that's, you know, close

859
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:23,520
Speaker 1: to fifty. He's just not that guy. The other name

860
00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: I picked at light heavyweight BC, your countryman Julius and Glicas.

861
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: Forget how you pronounced he got cut from my draft rush.

862
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,440
Speaker 1: Now why did you cut him?

863
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,960
Speaker 2: I mean he's not that good, Luke, he's aggressive, He's just.

864
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: See the rest of the roster. Yeah, I think he's

865
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: actually got some ability. I do agree he's limited, the

866
00:40:46,040 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: upside is limited, but I think he's got some for

867
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,560
Speaker 1: middleweight BC. All right, this is where I went really young.

868
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:54,000
Speaker 1: With the exception, I went David Branch. I picked him

869
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,840
Speaker 1: because I think he's got some decent, well runded ability.

870
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,279
Speaker 1: I don't know how to pronounce this guy's name, tor

871
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: nike A Donk. I picked out who I believe has

872
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,680
Speaker 1: an Italian name, but I don't think he's of Italian nationality.

873
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,320
Speaker 1: He's got I think just one loss on his record.

874
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:11,920
Speaker 1: I looked up some of his stuff he was doing.

875
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: He looks to me like promising upstart. I think like

876
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:16,239
Speaker 1: an eight to one record. I think that that's the

877
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 1: kind of guy I want to pick going forward, all right.

878
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: At welterweight. I also picked Nieman Gracie. I think it's

879
00:41:22,600 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 1: a good name to pick. I think he still got

880
00:41:24,000 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot of fight left in him. I did go

881
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: with Hennon Olaveda, who doesn't have I think a pretty

882
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: respectable record, I should say. And then one of the

883
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 1: names that took a flyer on, Mega med Kabardiev, one

884
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 1: of these donks. I think he's either ten and oh

885
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,319
Speaker 1: or ten and one, undefeated, like twenty seven to twenty

886
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 1: eight years old, no, twenty nine years old. I believe

887
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,600
Speaker 1: he looked at me like he could be something interesting

888
00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: at lightweight BC. I agree with you, Damir Ismagoulov to me,

889
00:41:48,719 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 1: still has a ton of ability. That's a great name

890
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: to pick up. I also picked up a name I

891
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 1: did not know much about taking a flyer and not

892
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 1: looked at a lot of tape on him, Mega med

893
00:41:57,120 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 1: a Kayev.

894
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 2: Undefeated guy with the name Magomed somewhere in his name right.

895
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, also undefeated. I mean, what do you want me

896
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:05,799
Speaker 1: to say? Right?

897
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 3: Like?

898
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 1: He's good? How about this one? This pick I like

899
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,680
Speaker 1: at a featherweight. I don't know how to pronounce his

900
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: last name correctly. Canadian guy I think, just thirty years old,

901
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: just won a title fight on the regional scene in

902
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,399
Speaker 1: a five round contest, but finished him in the fourth

903
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:23,760
Speaker 1: or fifth round. Jamie Sarai. Jamie Sarai a Canadian prospect.

904
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,319
Speaker 1: He looks pretty good. He has he has put together

905
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 1: a nice wind streak and has good regional experience, not

906
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,400
Speaker 1: too old. I like what I see at him at bantamwaite.

907
00:42:34,520 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 1: I also picked Darien Caldwell because he is limited, but

908
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 1: in that one narrow range of skills, he's obviously very

909
00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 1: very good. I took a flyer on a Peruvian kid

910
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,439
Speaker 1: twenty six years old, Omar Arteaga, out of as I mentioned,

911
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 1: out of Peru. He's got one loss and his competition

912
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:51,719
Speaker 1: schedule is not that great, but he looks like a powerhouse.

913
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: And then Sayidyo kub I'm gonna pronounce his last name wrong. Kakarmanov.

914
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,400
Speaker 1: He was in UFC. He went two and one he

915
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:01,719
Speaker 1: had one law and then they cut him. But I

916
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,880
Speaker 1: actually think he's still got some decent ability. Okay, women's bantamweight,

917
00:43:07,160 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: Aspin lad and Arlene Blenco. I agree with you. I

918
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 1: think those two names could do some, could do some.

919
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 2: Damn is around two at one four five, she's a.

920
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 1: Little older for me. Older for me. I don't know

921
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:19,759
Speaker 1: how I feel about that.

922
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 2: You could have gone with Hannah Goldie at one twenty

923
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,360
Speaker 2: five or one fifteen, But he.

924
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 1: Thought about that. I thought about that. There's a couple

925
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:29,959
Speaker 1: of those names where I was like, I wasn't sure.

926
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:34,399
Speaker 1: Women's flyweight. I went with the undefeated Camilla Renoso and

927
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: then women's adam weight. This one I struggled with. And

928
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 1: this person I'm about to say, I thought for a

929
00:43:39,600 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: time was like the future of the sport and it

930
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:42,879
Speaker 1: didn't quite work out. But I still think pretty highly

931
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 1: of her former in Victor Champ. I believe Lavigna Soza

932
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,800
Speaker 1: fourteen and four out of Brazil.

933
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:51,560
Speaker 2: She too me, you'd go Jessica Aguilar.

934
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:54,360
Speaker 1: So I came very close to picking her, but I

935
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: don't know exactly where she's at. I almost picked Jessica

936
00:43:57,280 --> 00:43:59,000
Speaker 1: Penny as well. For folks, who mean to realize Jessica

937
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:01,759
Speaker 1: Penny to me was always a natural Adam weight. Adam

938
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: Waite is definitely like, what's the next weight class UFC

939
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 1: is gonna add, It's gonna be Adam Waite. Like there's

940
00:44:06,840 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 1: just no question about it. I mean unless they make

941
00:44:08,480 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 1: a sixty five men's division, but you know, a new

942
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:13,839
Speaker 1: division so to speak, that still it already exists, Adam Wait,

943
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:16,920
Speaker 1: so that that's my roster Like Long Island, Luke, whose

944
00:44:17,040 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: roster between BC and I is better?

945
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,719
Speaker 4: I mean, Who's am I gonna watch? I'm watching BC's

946
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:26,239
Speaker 4: before I'm watching yours? Luke, I didn't know half those names.

947
00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:27,399
Speaker 4: I mean, who the fuck are these?

948
00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: Who's getting their hand raised? That's all the question I asked.

949
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:30,440
Speaker 2: Who cares?

950
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 3: It's the GFL.

951
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 2: I mean like, let's just nailed it, Luke. He nailed

952
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: it seriously.

953
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: Well, dude, anybody can go through and be like, I'm

954
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,359
Speaker 1: just gonna pick all the old UFC names. You gotta

955
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: pick some fucking winners on there.

956
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 4: I ask him, with something in the tank left, here's

957
00:44:44,680 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 4: something that's true, I'll go first. Prospects tattoo on t

958
00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:50,440
Speaker 4: Ti Kai Kamaka just turned thirty years old.

959
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,319
Speaker 1: These I thought about picking him up too. I thought

960
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: about picking him up to.

961
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 3: Uh, this one might be controversial. Matthaeus Nicolau.

962
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 4: He has lost three in a row, but they're all

963
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 4: to top ten UFC flyweights.

964
00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 3: Like true, he's gonna be fighting scrubs here.

965
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: He probably gets some win, but also up a weight class.

966
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 3: True. And then I went name value.

967
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,160
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna rattle off these names here, Tony Ferguson,

968
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,240
Speaker 4: Gaegar Musasi, Luke Rockold, Anthony Pettis, Jeremy Stevens, Kevin Lee, Aspin,

969
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 4: lad Paige van Z and Alima Lay, McFarlane and Corey McKenna.

970
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,920
Speaker 1: They had Alilay. This must be a misprint, correct me

971
00:45:21,920 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong. They had her in the adam weight section. Dude.

972
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 4: So their website has changed a lot the last few days.

973
00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,760
Speaker 4: And like three days ago, they had four women's divisions.

974
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,520
Speaker 4: They had featherweight, bandam weight, flyweight, strowweight, sorry no fly weight,

975
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 4: shrow eight, anim weight.

976
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:38,359
Speaker 3: Now they nixed fly weight, they nixed ban I don't

977
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 3: know what the hell.

978
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 2: I've got a feeling that they don't have it all

979
00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,319
Speaker 2: ironed out right now. I just got a feeling by that.

980
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 2: I mean, look, did you what lt did you watch

981
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 2: Darren Owen with Mike Hall in the latest MMA Fighting

982
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,759
Speaker 2: town Hall series. I'm interested to hear if.

983
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 1: You thought, no, I did not see that.

984
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:57,840
Speaker 2: I mean he came across fair fairly, you know what

985
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Like, it didn't impress me to believe that

986
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,279
Speaker 2: the league has long term life. So I want to

987
00:46:03,320 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 2: ask you, like, who do you literally believe will be

988
00:46:06,040 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: the top three or four picks. Do you think all

989
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 2: of these franchises will look at the lay of the

990
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:14,840
Speaker 2: land and go, okay, let's get the most popular fighter

991
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: names with the biggest.

992
00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: I think some of them are definitely gonna do that,

993
00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,160
Speaker 1: but I think the smart ones are gonna pick again.

994
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: I do think the Nieman Graci's, Joel Romeroz. There's some

995
00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 1: guys out there who are, you know, not the most youthful,

996
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 1: especially in Neel's case, that I definitely still think can

997
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: get some get the job done. I mentioned they added Shoeface.

998
00:46:31,640 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: I think that's pretty critical as well. But you know,

999
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 1: if you're drafting like Tony ferguson your I don't know

1000
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:37,640
Speaker 1: what to tell you, Like, there's a lot of guys

1001
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:39,839
Speaker 1: who don't have names on these rosters who are going

1002
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 1: to do well, they're going to do better than them,

1003
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: and you'd be a fool not to pick them up.

1004
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 1: Like the Jamie Surajah. I mean, maybe he does well,

1005
00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't, but like he looks to me like

1006
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:51,399
Speaker 1: he's got much more of the ingredients for success than

1007
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:53,399
Speaker 1: so many of these other ones that are on the roster.

1008
00:46:53,480 --> 00:46:55,840
Speaker 1: But he's unheralded, and people don't know. It's gonna be

1009
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 1: a function of like what kind of scouting these guys

1010
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 1: did and how seriously they take the job. But like

1011
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: you know, if they're just like, hey, let's just pick

1012
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 1: up Luke rock Hole, let's just pick up you know

1013
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:07,279
Speaker 1: whoever who's got a name and then just say that's

1014
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: going to be enough, well, then you know you're going

1015
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 1: to get the results.

1016
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: I want to tell you quickly what I didn't love

1017
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 2: about Owen's visit on there was that he admitted that

1018
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 2: they had no idea Ofvdalai Silva was ASO washed or

1019
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: be part of the lawsuit claiming such heavy CTE. That

1020
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,480
Speaker 2: he said, well, once we found out we shifted him

1021
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 2: to team manager. It's like, okay, red flag there. You

1022
00:47:27,080 --> 00:47:29,399
Speaker 2: obviously have the other red flag of the other organizations

1023
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 2: like Doctagon MMA saying you've got people on your draft

1024
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: list that are under contract to us. But when Mike

1025
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,440
Speaker 2: Kek really pushed him on why the team format, you know,

1026
00:47:38,600 --> 00:47:41,880
Speaker 2: IFL did it a long time ago, PFL tried something different,

1027
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:45,480
Speaker 2: but they even changed. I didn't love his response of

1028
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: how many other MMA organizations have come and gone trying

1029
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 2: to mimic the UFC same structure. I don't think that

1030
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,440
Speaker 2: point is well taken. I mean think I think the

1031
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:58,280
Speaker 2: counter question to that is how many people have tried

1032
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 2: something completely whack could do like this and equally had

1033
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:05,640
Speaker 2: zero success. I'm wondering, Luke, when we talk about either PFLGFL,

1034
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 2: or any competitor to the UFC who is desperate to

1035
00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:12,799
Speaker 2: have their niche to give you a reason to tune

1036
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 2: into them because they're different. Unfortunately, all these kickoff leagues

1037
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: want to make the structure different in ways that are

1038
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,880
Speaker 2: just kind of like, hey, good idea, but it doesn't

1039
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 2: really improve on why we're here, which is to see

1040
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,400
Speaker 2: the best of who you have face the best. Do

1041
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 2: you think they should try to alter the rule set

1042
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 2: or the you know what I mean? Maybe because you

1043
00:48:33,120 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 2: have so many older fighters, a smaller cage, with shorter

1044
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:38,200
Speaker 2: minute rounds. I mean, is there anything you think they

1045
00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 2: can do not to the season or team structure to

1046
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 2: stand out, but maybe in terms of the rule set

1047
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:47,040
Speaker 2: that can make this a little bit of like a

1048
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 2: quasi ECWXFL where you're like, Okay, the UFC level, but

1049
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 2: this is really fun. I got to tune in the

1050
00:48:54,520 --> 00:48:55,000
Speaker 2: next time.

1051
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna take a little while for people

1052
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:02,360
Speaker 1: to really accept the fact that the UFC is going

1053
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 1: like this while the rest of the industry is going

1054
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:09,200
Speaker 1: like this, And people think that if because the UFC

1055
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,160
Speaker 1: is doing well, it must mean that MMA is doing well,

1056
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,359
Speaker 1: and I would actually tell you it's the opposite. Again,

1057
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:16,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep making this point. Do people think that

1058
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 1: Oscar de la Hoya makes money as a promoter because

1059
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:22,439
Speaker 1: he's super awesome at it? He is not super awesome

1060
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:23,759
Speaker 1: out of it. I don't think he's terrible at it,

1061
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: but he's not super awesome at it. He makes money

1062
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,040
Speaker 1: at it because the nature of the regulatory framework allows

1063
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 1: other more than just one suitor in that industry to

1064
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 1: do what he is doing to put on relevant boxing.

1065
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: He does put on relevant boxing but he's not because

1066
00:49:38,600 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 1: he's some fucking promotional super genius. Far from it. The

1067
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:43,920
Speaker 1: guy can barely put his pants on to make Instagram videos.

1068
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,520
Speaker 1: At this point, this is not some kind of marker

1069
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,440
Speaker 1: of genius. It's the regulatory framework. And at some point

1070
00:49:49,480 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a little while. One will have to

1071
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:53,240
Speaker 1: go to business, PFL will have to go to business,

1072
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 1: and GFL probably is not lasting very long for people

1073
00:49:56,360 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: to realize these companies are trying all all of these

1074
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: crazy things because what really is eluding them is what

1075
00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: they actually need, which is the ability to put on

1076
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:09,759
Speaker 1: relevant MM with relevant MMA fighters that the public understands

1077
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: as the most relevant. They are prevented from doing that,

1078
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: so they try all these other, you know, games of like, oh,

1079
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 1: we're going to just filter it through this process and

1080
00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 1: it's going to look this way which is different, and

1081
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna have teams and blah blah blah. This is

1082
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,319
Speaker 1: all a distraction that cannot work. And it's not to

1083
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: say that these people aren't hard working. I'm not saying

1084
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: that they're bad people or they don't even I'm not

1085
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,919
Speaker 1: even suggesting BC that they don't even that they don't

1086
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:34,960
Speaker 1: believe what they're doing. They might actually believe in what

1087
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:37,959
Speaker 1: they're doing, which is which is to an extent understandable,

1088
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 1: But there is this un there's this hard core unwillingness

1089
00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:46,839
Speaker 1: in the industry to for people to wrap their head

1090
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 1: around the idea. There isn't room at this level for

1091
00:50:51,239 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 1: anyone else to do what they're doing because the UFC

1092
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,520
Speaker 1: has taken it all. It doesn't exist. You have to

1093
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,640
Speaker 1: do something at a different level of the game where

1094
00:51:00,680 --> 00:51:04,319
Speaker 1: they don't have a significant presence in order to have

1095
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 1: some kind of lasting ability. So let's just wait and

1096
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: see for the industry is going to have to keep

1097
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: doing this for it to dawn on people that like,

1098
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,279
Speaker 1: I mean again, I'm gonna say it one more time.

1099
00:51:14,320 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 1: Do people really believe that there are five people in

1100
00:51:17,040 --> 00:51:20,160
Speaker 1: Las Vegas, in the entirety of the world who can

1101
00:51:20,239 --> 00:51:23,480
Speaker 1: effectively promote mma to make money. I mean, you just

1102
00:51:23,560 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: have to be the most clueless person alive to think

1103
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:28,640
Speaker 1: something like this. It is not that they are geniuses,

1104
00:51:28,680 --> 00:51:30,680
Speaker 1: although they are good at it. It is that the

1105
00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: nature of the regulatory framework makes it virtually impossible to

1106
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:39,360
Speaker 1: do anything else. And I beg people to look at boxing,

1107
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: who is full of people who are not necessarily Bob

1108
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: Byron is pretty smart, Alheiman's pretty smart, some smart and

1109
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:47,399
Speaker 1: Eddie Hern you know, I have respect for what he does.

1110
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,479
Speaker 1: But there's a lot of other promoters that make money

1111
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:53,439
Speaker 1: over there who are not necessarily all that great. What

1112
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 1: might the difference be. Hmm, let's think about that.

1113
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,759
Speaker 2: Well, Look, I appreciate your answer, but I was wondering

1114
00:51:58,800 --> 00:52:00,399
Speaker 2: if you can answer my question, do you think there's

1115
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: anything they should do with the actual rule set that

1116
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:05,400
Speaker 2: could dramatically make them an attraction.

1117
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 1: I answered the question like, you can rearrange this shit

1118
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 1: in any way you want. What difference is it gonna

1119
00:52:10,880 --> 00:52:13,359
Speaker 1: make if you're not putting on relevant MMA. One has

1120
00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: done something interesting in the sense that they've just kind

1121
00:52:16,239 --> 00:52:19,560
Speaker 1: of changed the rules in a very I would argue

1122
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,480
Speaker 1: forward looking way with the way in which they judge,

1123
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,239
Speaker 1: you know, niece, the head of a grounded opponent, Like

1124
00:52:24,280 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 1: they actually make their action look better. And they have

1125
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:30,759
Speaker 1: signed some relevant MA Obviously they had DJ you know

1126
00:52:31,080 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: for a time, and some other ones, not just him,

1127
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 1: but some other ones as well, So like there's a

1128
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: little something to that, but I don't know how much

1129
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 1: they can build out from that. You look at their

1130
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 1: card today, one one seventy. It's got some cool stuff

1131
00:52:40,280 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: on there, please don't miss nam me. But how much

1132
00:52:42,920 --> 00:52:45,400
Speaker 1: MMA is on there? Like two fights? Like two MMA fights?

1133
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: You know, I just think no one cares about the

1134
00:52:47,440 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 2: team structure at all, So should you interest.

1135
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,360
Speaker 1: One exception to that? One exception to that? The big lesson? No,

1136
00:52:55,480 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 1: I mean this quite sincerely. The big lesson from the

1137
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,960
Speaker 1: IFL was the fans didn't care about the team structure.

1138
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: It turned out in the end, the fighters on the

1139
00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: team actually really liked it, They really actually responded to it.

1140
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: So you might hear after this whole thing is over

1141
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 1: whatever GFL fighters been like, you know what, I really

1142
00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 1: liked competing on the sal Apollo team or you know whatever.

1143
00:53:17,960 --> 00:53:19,680
Speaker 1: It's just the fans never got on that.

1144
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:21,600
Speaker 2: I will say I did work last year with Team

1145
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:25,360
Speaker 2: Combat's league, the boxing you know, team one round concept,

1146
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 2: and there was especially in the playoffs, like you're saying,

1147
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 2: a lot of camaraderie, a lot of people really investing

1148
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,799
Speaker 2: themselves in that. From the fighter standpoint, I'm just wondering, Luke,

1149
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 2: if this is the time to do something a little

1150
00:53:35,600 --> 00:53:39,560
Speaker 2: bit crazier, like have less weight divisions. But have big

1151
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 2: gaps in the weight divisions, so you can easier. So

1152
00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:46,600
Speaker 2: it could be more easy to make kind of fun

1153
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,200
Speaker 2: crossover matchups using names, you know what I mean, maybe,

1154
00:53:49,239 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 2: like I said, play with the minutes per round structure,

1155
00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 2: or play with the size of the cage or something

1156
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,319
Speaker 2: that you're like, Okay, it's not super elite MMA, but

1157
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:01,400
Speaker 2: it's seventy five percent a senior league and it's got

1158
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 2: you know, these cool unique rules. That's the lane that

1159
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 2: I would hope somebody would go in rather than the

1160
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,959
Speaker 2: we're just another MMA league who has a few names

1161
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 2: you recognize.

1162
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 1: You know, that's all that's left. What you know.

1163
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,280
Speaker 2: What about an open weight tournament with all these names?

1164
00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 1: Okay, but then you got to find the jurisdiction to

1165
00:54:22,040 --> 00:54:23,719
Speaker 1: put that in because they're not going to allow it

1166
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: obviously in the United States. That's another problem too.

1167
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 2: Florida, Yeah you do it. Taichi Palace.

1168
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:32,120
Speaker 1: Finally, Tachi freaking Palace. Yes, the touch do I'll tell

1169
00:54:32,160 --> 00:54:35,520
Speaker 1: you what. The Tachi Palace open Weight MMA turning winner

1170
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:36,240
Speaker 1: gets a mill.

1171
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, or just winner gets to have like gratuitous sex

1172
00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,760
Speaker 2: with Yeary and the two guys from his village, right.

1173
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:45,160
Speaker 1: Just like just a year, Buffett, please.

1174
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 2: I don't know, Luke. I'm gonna watch tonight, by the way,

1175
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:52,000
Speaker 2: or probably watch it after the fact, but uh, I

1176
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 2: mean Goldie Robin Black Job. This is an interesting is

1177
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 2: an interesting cocktail that they're putting together here.

1178
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: Actually Tech did shop this week and I was like,

1179
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 1: how much are they allotting for broadcast time? And he

1180
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:10,600
Speaker 1: told me that they're shooting for two hours. And I'm like, bro,

1181
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,080
Speaker 1: you're drafting one hundred and twenty people. I don't know

1182
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,000
Speaker 1: you're gonna get that done in two hours, you know

1183
00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:15,399
Speaker 1: what I mean?

1184
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:17,359
Speaker 2: Like, I don't know if draft the first round at

1185
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: length and then they're like, here's the rest of our roster.

1186
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:21,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe maybe it could be that. I guess it

1187
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: could be that. But anyway, it's eight pm, eight pm

1188
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 1: in the East, so five pm in the west. Be

1189
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: on the lookout for that. BC. Speaking of you know

1190
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:33,120
Speaker 1: PFL and the tournament system that you know, and then

1191
00:55:33,120 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: they used to have the playoffs and all that kind

1192
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 1: of stuff. Speaking of the playoffs, BC, the playoffs are

1193
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,520
Speaker 1: back this week, but not the PFL playoffs. No, how

1194

1196
00:55:48,239 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: the mathing correctly yesterday? First time I was since I

1197
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 1: was ten years old, BC, first time since I was

1198
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 1: ten years old? You bet we are here we go

Speaker 2: go after, but Luke, the available lines and odds certainly

1209
00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:30,360

1239

Speaker 2: I can't wait to see how it goes down this week.

Speaker 1: And by the way, as a reminder, go get that

1242
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:14,959
Speaker 1: the lines and odds, that want to be very clear,

1243
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:19,760
Speaker 1: are subject to change. Okay, there we go. BC, let's

1244
00:58:19,760 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: talk about topic number three if we can so. Bkfc's

1245
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: Knucklemania is making a stop in Philadelphia this weekend. Now,

1246
00:58:26,440 --> 00:58:29,480
Speaker 1: to be clear, you've seen Boots Ennis compete there, You've

1247
00:58:29,480 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 1: seen the UFC has been there twice. BKFC is saying

1248
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:34,000
Speaker 1: that they're going to break their gate record, which will

1249
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,480
Speaker 1: be interesting and I think attendance record as well. So

1250
00:58:36,560 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how that goes. But for now, BC, you've

1251
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 1: got Eddie Alvarez and Jeremy Stevens in the main event.

1252
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: Now you've got two guys who are kind of aging

1253
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: here but still finding something of a career. Renaissance. So

1254
00:58:49,080 --> 00:58:53,960
Speaker 1: can you help explain to what extent does competing in BKFC,

1255
00:58:54,040 --> 00:58:57,960
Speaker 1: but more specifically in terms of winning here, does it

1256
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 1: really add much to the under Ground Kings legacy, Does

1257
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,760
Speaker 1: it really add a lot to what Jeremy Stevens has

1258
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 1: already done or not? How do you assess what's available

1259
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 1: here for both guys? I think this is either their

1260
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:11,560
Speaker 1: third or fourth fight each in BKFC.

1261
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:13,680
Speaker 2: Well, I think this is the event is more about

1262
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 2: the BKFC itself and what you mentioned going to a

1263
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: big city. This is Dave Feldman's home city of Philadelphia,

1264
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,200
Speaker 2: so that means a lot to him. This is Knucklemania,

1265
00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 2: which is their sort of tent pole event, and while

1266
00:59:25,680 --> 00:59:27,479
Speaker 2: it's not a title, let's stake in the main event

1267
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,080
Speaker 2: and certainly not something that's going to add much to

1268
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,840
Speaker 2: their individual resumes. You got to stop and applaud what

1269
00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,120
Speaker 2: BKFC is doing putting butts in the seats and bringing

1270
00:59:36,160 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 2: the local underground hero, hometown hero in Eddie Alvarez. Now,

1271
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 2: maybe the rough part for UFC, I'm sorry for BKFC

1272
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:45,520
Speaker 2: in this space is that both of these guys in

1273
00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:49,440
Speaker 2: this main event have such history with the co promoter

1274
00:59:49,560 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor, who I'm sure either one would love to

1275
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:55,600
Speaker 2: get an outstanding win. Maybe throw some trash talk at Connor.

1276
00:59:55,800 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 2: I mean they might even have a run and do

1277
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,680
Speaker 2: a face off with Connor afterwards. But instill until he's

1278
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 2: out of that UFC contract. You won't see him fighting.

1279
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 2: But Luke, I think there's something here when you're talking

1280
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:08,480
Speaker 2: about Eddie Alvarez versus Jeremy Stevens in this format. We

1281
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 2: did see Eddie Alvarez in BKFC against Chad Mendes. I

1282
01:00:11,960 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 2: like the heart, I like how he adapted to the rules,

1283
01:00:14,360 --> 01:00:16,800
Speaker 2: and we know Jeremy Stevens can bang, and you know,

1284
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 2: for at least a time was considered the hardest hitting

1285
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 2: one forty five in the world, probably until Joe Pifer

1286
01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 2: showed up at the press conference and absolutely eviscerated him

1287
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:29,880
Speaker 2: in honor of Eddie Alvarez. But I will say this, Luke,

1288
01:00:29,920 --> 01:00:33,040
Speaker 2: I watched the press conference. It was wild. They opened

1289
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 2: up questions to the fans in media, you got a

1290
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 2: lot of people back in Eddie fire and trash talk

1291
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:42,440
Speaker 2: at Stevens. If this is bkfc's you know, one of

1292
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,959
Speaker 2: their big close up moments as they continue to build

1293
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:47,959
Speaker 2: momentum signing Connor and the good and bad that comes

1294
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:51,240
Speaker 2: with that, the increased money that they're bringing in. From

1295
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:54,080
Speaker 2: an investor standpoint, this is a big deal for them.

1296
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:55,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta you know, you gotta pick if

1297
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:59,120
Speaker 2: it's for you. But Eddie Alvaz versus Jeremy Stevens not

1298
01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 2: a bad matchup in this format. Neither is some of

1299
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,240
Speaker 2: the other fights on the card, So I don't think

1300
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 2: it's much for either of them, obviously, if there's a

1301
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 2: money fight out there in near their weight classes and

1302
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 2: in this banner, under this banner, it's Mike Perry. Mike

1303
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 2: Perry in so many ways, is still the face of

1304
01:01:16,200 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: BKFC at the moment. So does the winner of this

1305
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:22,440
Speaker 2: one ultimately get in with him for a big one? Possibly? Maybe,

1306
01:01:22,680 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 2: but don't forget. You got that BKFC tournament coming up

1307
01:01:25,840 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 2: for like twenty five million. That's supposed to be huge.

1308
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,920
Speaker 2: And I don't think Dave felbn's gonna be able to

1309
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:35,360
Speaker 2: keep Connor McGregor out of getting inside on this luke before, during,

1310
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:38,680
Speaker 2: or after the fight, because Connor had such a ridiculous

1311
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 2: massive presence the other day at the press conference, that

1312
01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:45,160
Speaker 2: it adds to it, it distracts from it, it does

1313
01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 2: a lot of things. But I think in totality, I

1314
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,919
Speaker 2: like what bkfc's doing here. I never overly love their

1315
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:54,520
Speaker 2: actual fight product, but I love their presentation. I love

1316
01:01:54,520 --> 01:01:56,680
Speaker 2: how they kind of lean into parts of the cringe

1317
01:01:56,720 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 2: and make it fun. And this matchup, for whatever you

1318
01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,560
Speaker 2: think about it, it's gonna deliver entertainment on Saturday, and

1319
01:02:02,600 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 2: I think the whole card's gonna come over very.

1320
01:02:04,120 --> 01:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Well to me. I find it sick that Connor just

1321
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: had the adjudication he had for his civil trial in Ireland.

1322
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 1: The number one's like, hey, Connor, welcome back.

1323
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,920
Speaker 2: Like there's no I mean, not only is that the

1324
01:02:16,920 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: fight game, but is BKFC before they have kind of

1325
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:22,480
Speaker 2: built this momentum what do they always call them the

1326
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 2: bottom of the combat food?

1327
01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, You're right. I'm just saying it's gross

1328
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:31,880
Speaker 1: as shit. But okay, he was there yesterday BC rate

1329
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 1: his sobriety. Let's let's take a look at the clip. Oh,

1330
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:38,160
Speaker 1: my ladies and gentlemen. In twenty twenty four, he put

1331
01:02:38,240 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: his name and his money on Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.

1332
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 1: Please welcome to the stage, the notorious Connor McGregor.

1333
01:02:56,280 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 6: Oh salry Imlaya, don't give a fuck. I'm the big

1334
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 6: boss around here, Philadelphia.

01:03:06,600 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: What's up.

01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:09,479
Speaker 2: I'm here to summon the.

1337

Speaker 6: Gods of fighting to action. May they turn our combatants

Speaker 6: Is as big a fight as it gets with world

1352
01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 6: title fight implications. Like I said, head combatants, turn your

Speaker 6: congrats on the success. I honored to be here. Eddie,

1364
01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 6: good luck for that. This is a big one. I

1365
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,160
Speaker 6: was around the length and bread of Philadelphia bars last

1366
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,920
Speaker 6: night enjoying myself at a few Phillies. I had a

1367
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,360
Speaker 6: few Philly she steakes. I gave a big shout out

1368
01:04:53,360 --> 01:04:55,280
Speaker 6: to the Eagles, the big game this weekend.

1369
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 2: So co boards, let's go.

1370
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:01,520
Speaker 6: This is Philadelphia, says Philly type.

1371
01:05:01,320 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: Of we can't baby, I'm not kicking it off style.

1372
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,760
Speaker 1: I will say this. I will say this. Philly was

1373
01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,840
Speaker 1: the right choice for this event. Philly to me is

1374
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I'm being done. No, No, I'm being dead serious.

1375
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 2: No, you're right. It's just that was so freaking on

1376
01:05:15,760 --> 01:05:17,000
Speaker 2: hinge that I can't do anything.

1377
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,919
Speaker 1: But just like my man was like he was like, yeah, well,

1378
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:23,480
Speaker 1: I was enjoying some of the Philly bars last night.

1379
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, what that sounds so out of character? You

1380
01:05:25,240 --> 01:05:25,680
Speaker 1: know what I mean?

1381
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 2: Your fish come your knuckles into knives.

1382
01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: What's the what's the hot area of Philly?

1383
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 4: Is it?

1384
01:05:32,360 --> 01:05:35,720
Speaker 1: They call it Fish Market? What's the what's the dope

1385
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 1: area of Philly? Who knows? What's the name of it.

1386
01:05:40,920 --> 01:05:41,680
Speaker 2: I don't think there is.

1387
01:05:43,240 --> 01:05:45,439
Speaker 3: Central City. I want to say it's gold or something.

1388
01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 4: City is like it's like times squarish, right, I've honestly

1389
01:05:49,560 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 4: never been to Philly.

1390
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 3: Gaff would know. Gaff went to school in Philly?

1391
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 1: Is he there?

1392
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:55,040
Speaker 3: No, he's not here.

1393
01:05:55,120 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: I'm just it's like, okay, frank Ben Franklin would know too, Yeah,

1394
01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:00,800
Speaker 2: not here though.

1395
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: You see what do you what do you make of that?

1396
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: I gotta say like that they picked the right city.

1397
01:06:06,240 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 1: They've got uh Eddie who deserved to be celebrated in Philly.

1398
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,480
Speaker 2: Yes, No, they did this. They did this right. This

1399
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 2: is why this event is selling like hotcakes. It's why

1400
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:19,160
Speaker 2: they've They've gotten some hype and momentum behind this. And

1401
01:06:19,160 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 2: I got to say this about Connor, that was one

1402
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 2: of the most unhinged ants I've ever seen. It's almost

1403
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 2: absurd and ridiculous that he's coming off of that civil

1404
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,919
Speaker 2: rape trial that he's still in this position and able

1405
01:06:30,960 --> 01:06:33,320
Speaker 2: to come out yet, Luke, I know you have no

1406
01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 2: tolerance for him at the moment. I get it. But

1407
01:06:36,040 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 2: that was as uncomfortable, unhinged and absurd as it was

1408
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:47,800
Speaker 2: exactly what this fight promotion needs, Like unhinged Connor, you know,

1409
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,600
Speaker 2: not sober three hundred and sixty five days in a row.

1410
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:53,440
Speaker 2: That version of Connor yah y O'Connor? Right, I got

1411
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:57,960
Speaker 2: two words for you, as Andrew fish Scales right, this

1412
01:06:58,080 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 2: version of Connor like his heart is going to burst

1413
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 2: out of his chest any day now. But it actually

1414
01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:08,800
Speaker 2: fits this absurd, ridiculous circus that BKFC makes. I mean,

1415
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,439
Speaker 2: what will eventually be one of the smartest decisions ever

1416
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 2: for Dave Feldman will be the moment Conor McGregor is

1417
01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 2: eligible to fight for this organization because he's already bringing

1418
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:21,920
Speaker 2: a lot of attention to it. And you know, obviously

1419
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,160
Speaker 2: it helps when you've got Eddie Alvarez, former UFC VET

1420
01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,480
Speaker 2: Jeremy Stevens, two hard hitters here and Long Island look

1421
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 2: updated us. They both had a couple fights. Jeremy Stevens

1422
01:07:29,920 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 2: two to zero in the BKFC Eddie's one and one

1423
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:36,240
Speaker 2: at the moment. But dude, I'm telling you this, that

1424
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:40,800
Speaker 2: was embarrassing to watch. It's also a huge boon to

1425
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 2: have him there. I mean, look, can you agree with

1426
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 2: that at the very least?

1427
01:07:44,080 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 1: Like yeah, no, no, no, I mean I given the okay,

1428
01:07:48,600 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: given the way the business works, it makes sense to

1429
01:07:52,200 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 1: have him there. I certainly understand that. I just think

1430
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: it makes like when people don't like it when combat

1431
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: sports is labeled a certain way, I'm like, you don't

1432
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 1: get to push back on that at all, Like you

1433
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,840
Speaker 1: have to accept all of that criticism because it's all true.

1434
01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:09,280
Speaker 1: That's my only point. But I do think from a

1435
01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 1: business standpoint, will it You're you're asking having him there,

1436
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: either in this role promotionally putting his money in and

1437
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:21,719
Speaker 1: then potentially eventually fighting. Will that in the end boost

1438
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:24,759
Speaker 1: bkfc's fortunes. I don't see how it doesn't.

1439
01:08:26,040 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 2: Now, Now, how how hard was it for you to

1440
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:32,639
Speaker 2: watch that the first time? Because like, dude, to act

1441
01:08:32,680 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 2: like this guy's fit to really do anything, including fight

1442
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 2: in the UFC or be a executive or co owner

1443
01:08:39,400 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 2: of I mean, it's it's a it's a it's a joke, Luke,

1444
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:44,519
Speaker 2: I mean, it looks like this guy doesn't sleep. I mean,

1445
01:08:44,560 --> 01:08:46,920
Speaker 2: what do you make of where Connor's actually at right now?

1446
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 1: I think he's been done with fighting for a really

1447
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 1: long time, which doesn't say he won't do it again.

1448
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,640
Speaker 1: We've kind of been over this, but this is what

1449
01:08:59,680 --> 01:09:04,600
Speaker 1: I think he wants to do now, and this is

1450
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:08,200
Speaker 1: where like all of his time is spent. So like again,

1451
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,559
Speaker 1: he probably will fight again, but like this seems to

1452
01:09:10,560 --> 01:09:12,879
Speaker 1: be like what he has a passion I mean seriously,

1453
01:09:13,160 --> 01:09:14,719
Speaker 1: like what does he have a passion for? It seems

1454
01:09:14,720 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: like he's got a passion for this. Now you see,

1455
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:18,439
Speaker 1: we have one more clip that you wanted me to include.

1456
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:20,160
Speaker 1: We included. It's not really well before.

1457
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 2: You get there. But did you even see him when

1458
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 2: they were like facing off the matchups on stage? Connor

1459
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 2: like is like moving and his mouth are He's just

1460
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 2: like but like, even though that's a deranged man on

1461
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:34,559
Speaker 2: drugs reacting, You're right, he is built to hype these

1462
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:37,439
Speaker 2: matchups up and say ridiculous things into the microphone. It's

1463
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:38,680
Speaker 2: it's bizarre.

1464
01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 1: It certainly is bizarre, and it's you know, but I

1465
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: think for the short term, probably the medium term, maybe

1466
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,000
Speaker 1: even the long term. We shall see. It's hard to

1467
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 1: say about that, but this is a genuine alternative, by

1468
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:51,960
Speaker 1: the way, to answer the question that you post to

1469
01:09:51,960 --> 01:09:53,599
Speaker 1: you about, like what does it do for their legacies?

1470
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,519
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it does for Eddie obviously

1471
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 1: would be great if he got to win for himself

1472
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 1: and whatnot. Well, yeah, you mentioned how Mike Perry has

1473
01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: kind of turned his career around in BKFC. For Jeremy

1474
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 1: Stevens to get a win over a former UFC and

1475
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 1: Bellator lightweight champ would be a big deal. And it

1476
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,040
Speaker 1: also brings up you got Ben Rothwell, very very quietly

1477
01:10:12,080 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: in that comin event, also in a title fight BC.

1478
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: If Mike Perry can do things for himself, Ben Rothwell,

1479
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:20,439
Speaker 1: I'm not saying can do exactly the same, but it

1480
01:10:20,479 --> 01:10:22,400
Speaker 1: shouldn't be lost on the fact that if he goes

1481
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,679
Speaker 1: in there and gets a BKFC title, the heavyweight title,

1482
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:28,479
Speaker 1: which obviously is gonna be his division. Honestly, it's the

1483
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: guys who maybe left something a little bit on the table.

1484
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: They didn't quite get over the hump getting to BKFC

1485
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,280
Speaker 1: beating some big names we saw work for Mike Perry.

1486
01:10:38,560 --> 01:10:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that the Ben Roethlis opponent's got a

1487
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:42,240
Speaker 1: big name, but getting that title, I don't know. I

1488
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:43,599
Speaker 1: feel like that can do something for him.

1489
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 2: Dude, imagine if Connor like fights, gets a couple of

1490
01:10:46,760 --> 01:10:49,479
Speaker 2: UFC fights and finishes that deal. Although I'm sure TKO

1491
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 2: is going to try to extend this as much as

1492
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,639
Speaker 2: they can into the next TV deal. Also, Connor pulled

1493
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:56,479
Speaker 2: out last year when he could have already fought. But like, look,

1494
01:10:56,720 --> 01:11:02,000
Speaker 2: how frickin' big would it be if Connor bf seed,

1495
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:06,320
Speaker 2: Eddie Alvarez bkfced Mike Perry, you know lord Nate over.

1496
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 2: I mean, would these be like blockbuster pay per views

1497
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:09,920
Speaker 2: in your mind?

1498
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:14,799
Speaker 1: If they got Nate Daz that would that would make money? Yeah,

1499
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 1: that would make a lot of money.

1500
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,760
Speaker 2: So they're sitting on a lottery ticket. They just need

1501
01:11:18,800 --> 01:11:21,479
Speaker 2: Connor to a stay alive, b stay out of prison,

1502
01:11:21,560 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 2: and see finish out that UFC deal without getting the

1503
01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 2: floor mopped with him. Although I don't even know if

1504
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,439
Speaker 2: that matters because BKFC, if you could, you could argue

1505
01:11:29,479 --> 01:11:34,080
Speaker 2: Luke is so separate, it's it's it's boxing and MMA adjacent.

1506
01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,880
Speaker 2: But I don't really think wins and losses matter in this.

1507
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 2: I think it's just an attraction.

1508
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,280
Speaker 1: I think wins and losses can matter, I don't think

1509
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 1: it matters all that much relative to what we are accustomed,

1510
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 1: if that makes sense. Okay. By the way you put

1511
01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:52,360
Speaker 1: the betting lines, our friend Bong Island Luke says, I

1512
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:53,760
Speaker 1: don't know if these are come from DK or not,

1513
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 1: but we've got Alvarez plus one twenty five Stevens at

1514
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: minus one fifty five Stevens, your favorite walking into this one.

1515
01:11:59,520 --> 01:12:02,799
Speaker 1: So for Eddie get this as the underdog in Philly.

1516
01:12:02,840 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 1: He just opened up a new gym, by the way,

1517
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: I think called the Underground King's Gym. And look, from

1518
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 1: what I saw, it looked really nice. He had a

1519
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 1: cyber truck that had this whole logo on the side

1520
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 1: of it and everything like. Good for him, you know

1521
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,640
Speaker 1: what I mean? Good for him that he got this opportunity.

1522
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:19,879
Speaker 1: And again, I love I don't love BKFC per se. However,

1523
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:25,120
Speaker 1: getting guys who are celebrated figures in the fight game,

1524
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,960
Speaker 1: a listers or you know, a sides, at a bare minimum,

1525
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: getting them the opportunity to fight in their hometown doesn't

1526
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 1: happen nearly often enough in MMA because the promotions have

1527
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:39,320
Speaker 1: so much control, they have to go with where they're

1528
01:12:39,640 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 1: Why is Paul Hughes versus usbin n and fucking Dobai

1529
01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 1: because that's who their customer is, the government there. But

1530
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: that should be, you know, if not Doagistan, certainly in

1531
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,479
Speaker 1: Dublin or something like that, you know what I mean.

1532
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: Taking Eddie Alvarez, the underground King of Philly to Philly

1533
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:01,719
Speaker 1: and then putting all of this behind it. It works

1534
01:13:01,760 --> 01:13:05,559
Speaker 1: because this is a time honor tradition of fight sports. Yeah,

1535
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:07,600
Speaker 1: like that's what you're supposed to do, you know.

1536
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 2: All right, can we show this this other Connor video?

1537
01:13:10,920 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: So this one?

1538
01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I do, I do want to talk about this.

1539
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 2: So you guys might have seen on inauguration Day when

1540
01:13:16,800 --> 01:13:19,639
Speaker 2: Donald Trump took over the presidency that we had a

1541
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 2: wild cast of characters in the Combat Sports World show up.

1542
01:13:23,640 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 2: And to see the Paul brothers inside that that that

1543
01:13:26,960 --> 01:13:30,960
Speaker 2: van with Connor McGregor, and to see them act kind

1544
01:13:30,960 --> 01:13:33,719
Speaker 2: of cordial to each other and jokingly but also half

1545
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 2: serious was bizarre. But then to see that the Paul's

1546
01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 2: mother recorded a lot of that and it was put

1547
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 2: out by Logan Paul on his YouTube channel. We actually

1548
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:46,240
Speaker 2: got to see some inside stuff that we probably shouldn't have,

1549
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 2: including arguing about this fight. This this boxing match in

1550
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 2: India that was proposed of Connor against one of the

1551
01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:55,760
Speaker 2: Paul brothers that we've now seen ufeen. Dana White be like, no,

1552
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 2: we want nothing to do with this. Let's watch closely here,

1553
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:02,360
Speaker 2: not only the back and forth, but what substances Connor

1554
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:04,599
Speaker 2: may be on at eight in the morning. A little

1555
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:07,559
Speaker 2: it's a sweet heead it's all sweet. Yeah, yeah, well

1556
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 2: you can't come up shooting, dude.

1557
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:11,120
Speaker 3: Let's how we were going to get a shake down?

1558
01:14:11,320 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 3: You get what?

1559
01:14:12,320 --> 01:14:14,800
Speaker 2: What? What did you think the best course of action

1560
01:14:15,000 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 2: was for that day? It is dang and giving all

1561
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 2: this megas difference, I didn't hear the last five second

1562
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:24,880
Speaker 2: was in the air for us. Bring it home for me.

1563
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:25,680
Speaker 3: It's eight a m.

1564
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,880
Speaker 2: How you can tell he put his.

1565
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 6: It's just the real deal, yeah, in front of you

1566
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:35,920
Speaker 6: now that we're okay it.

1567
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:39,559
Speaker 2: He wouldn't do when one drives doing that. He was sick.

1568
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:40,479
Speaker 7: He was sick.

1569
01:14:42,080 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: He was sick.

1570
01:14:47,320 --> 01:14:49,639
Speaker 6: Here's the I'm gonna have to get out to yos

1571
01:14:49,680 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 6: and canceling.

1572
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, he was having an interest to me. You understand

1573
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 2: that side jobs a little si job.

1574
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:56,640
Speaker 1: You can't even do your main job.

1575
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:02,280
Speaker 2: You can do a side job. That's about boy, it's crazy.

1576
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:12,080
Speaker 2: A bus with you. A couple of zingers in there

1577
01:15:12,080 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 2: from Logan Mogan.

1578
01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:16,000
Speaker 1: Zingers were good there outside the w hotel by the

1579
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: way on fifteenth and well fifteenth street there, but by

1580
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:21,719
Speaker 1: the not far from the White House.

1581
01:15:21,720 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 2: But do you take away anything from those the back

1582
01:15:24,400 --> 01:15:28,240
Speaker 2: and forth there about Connor accusing Logan of being, you know,

1583
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 2: a bitch to Dana and the WWE and sort of

1584
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,320
Speaker 2: like stepping back and saying we can't do this fight,

1585
01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:34,720
Speaker 2: and then Connor saying because remember the rumor was that

1586
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,800
Speaker 2: Connor and whichever Paul brother took it would get two

1587
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,160
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million each. You did hear Connor going

1588
01:15:39,280 --> 01:15:41,720
Speaker 2: what happened? You couldn't accept one to eighty five? What

1589
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:45,000
Speaker 2: do you think really happened there in that negotiation falling apart?

1590
01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:47,160
Speaker 2: Was it just as simple as UFC being like, nope,

1591
01:15:47,200 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 2: we're out.

1592
01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 1: Well maybe one five was a wait?

1593
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,720
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it wasn't sure what he I thought he

1594
01:15:52,760 --> 01:15:53,559
Speaker 2: was talking about money?

1595
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:55,720
Speaker 1: No, maybe waiter money. It's hard to say. I mean

1596
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: Connor actually spoke about it. I don't know. I saw

1597
01:15:58,040 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 1: Emma Junkie reported that UFC just doesn't want it. Doesn't

1598
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:04,480
Speaker 1: want it. I mean, there might be some still ongoing negotiations,

1599
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:06,479
Speaker 1: but he was basically saying he goes that he thought

1600
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,519
Speaker 1: it made sense that he wanted it, and then UFC

1601
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,080
Speaker 1: was like, Eh, we're not really interested, so ask you this.

1602
01:16:12,160 --> 01:16:15,559
Speaker 2: We thought may Mac wouldn't happen for the same reason,

1603
01:16:15,840 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 2: but ultimately Endeavor Slash Dana gave in and said no,

1604
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 2: we'll just be a part of it in cash. You know.

1605
01:16:21,080 --> 01:16:22,840
Speaker 2: I think they got like a fifty million dollar check

1606
01:16:22,960 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 2: out of co promoting that at a time after buying

1607
01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,680
Speaker 2: the UFC for four billion, where that made sense to

1608
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:31,160
Speaker 2: do that. No legal troubles with Connor. Let's just say

1609
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 2: Connor and one of the Paul brothers pushed through and said,

1610
01:16:33,760 --> 01:16:35,800
Speaker 2: we don't care. We have the opportunity to make so

1611
01:16:35,880 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 2: much money. You can take us to court for years.

1612
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:43,640
Speaker 2: We don't care. Could TKO group physically block that or

1613
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:44,519
Speaker 2: could or would that?

1614
01:16:44,800 --> 01:16:48,559
Speaker 1: I don't know what regulatory scheme. I mean, if you

1615
01:16:48,560 --> 01:16:50,280
Speaker 1: put the it would depend where you put the fight,

1616
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:52,920
Speaker 1: and then how responsive the legal system there would be.

1617
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 2: To would be in India. That would be the only

1618
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:56,280
Speaker 2: reason why this family would pay that money.

1619
01:16:56,320 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: I would imagine that they would find the best Indian

1620
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 1: lawyers that they possibly could. I would imagine they probably

1621
01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 1: got some pretty good ones down there and they would

1622
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,400
Speaker 1: do whatever they could he or they would just get

1623
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:07,000
Speaker 1: an injunction to stop it. I don't know what the

1624
01:17:07,040 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: Indian legal system is like. I'm just said, I don't

1625
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:11,040
Speaker 1: think you can just push it through.

1626
01:17:11,080 --> 01:17:11,320
Speaker 3: I don't.

1627
01:17:11,320 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 1: I don't, I don't.

1628
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1629
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 2: I'm wondering if there's a certain level of money that's

1630
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:17,160
Speaker 2: available where you just go f it. I don't care

1631
01:17:17,240 --> 01:17:18,400
Speaker 2: what you're gonna do to me, you know.

1632
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean it sounds like with the UC might

1633
01:17:20,040 --> 01:17:21,720
Speaker 1: have been worried about. Was just that that these guys

1634
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,920
Speaker 1: are gonna get such a sum of money that Connors

1635
01:17:23,960 --> 01:17:25,720
Speaker 1: might be like, you know what, fucking I'm out. I

1636
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: think they want one more and at least one more

1637
01:17:28,400 --> 01:17:31,599
Speaker 1: from him before that they you know, cut him loose

1638
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 1: to go do that kind of stuff. Yeah, I don't know.

1639
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1640
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 2: Final question on Connor, are we being unfair to him?

1641
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 2: Every single time we see him on camera, no matter

1642
01:17:40,400 --> 01:17:42,720
Speaker 2: what time of day, and I hear a lot of

1643
01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:45,040
Speaker 2: stories behind the scenes of people that are somewhat close

1644
01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 2: to him. It literally looks like, you know, he's been

1645
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 2: up all night and and he's you know, he's Vince

1646
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 2: Neil about to drive razzlehome and you know how that

1647
01:17:55,960 --> 01:17:58,080
Speaker 2: ended after they ran to the liquor store that time.

1648
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,320
Speaker 2: What I'm trying to say here, Luke, is are we

1649
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:05,280
Speaker 2: being unfair or is this guy a massive threat to

1650
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,840
Speaker 2: his own health in his behaviors right now?

1651
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:11,720
Speaker 1: I think Connor McGregor's documented history and run in with

1652
01:18:11,840 --> 01:18:14,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement and or you know, any other number of

1653
01:18:15,040 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: problems that you might have seen reported on, and the

1654
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:23,519
Speaker 1: army of people who are willing to defend virtually anything

1655
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:27,800
Speaker 1: that he does or presumed to have done. We're not

1656
01:18:27,880 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 1: too hard on him, but you're asking like, do I

1657
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 1: know what his state was on that bus? I do

1658
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 1: not know. Do I know what his state was on

1659
01:18:33,560 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 1: that stage?

1660
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 3: I do not know.

1661
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: I do not know.

1662
01:18:36,520 --> 01:18:38,840
Speaker 2: Passionate man, Luca is this obviously.

1663
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,559
Speaker 1: Part of it is like he's got some verve and

1664
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 1: he's got some you know, willingness to kind of lean

1665
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 1: into that sort of thing. But I think that. I mean,

1666
01:18:47,320 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: the guy was literally telling you he was out drinking

1667
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:52,160
Speaker 1: in Philly last night. I mean, I would encourage all

1668
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 1: of youewers to make up their own opinion. We don't

1669
01:18:54,080 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 1: know what really happened, but if it were to happen,

1670
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 1: that he would have got and I'm not wishing it

1671
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 1: on him or anybody else, but some kind of issue

1672
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: that came health or otherwise from substance abuse, would it

1673
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: be surprising. It probably would not be very surprising.

1674
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:11,479
Speaker 2: Right, dude, When he fights again in the UFC, it's

1675
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 2: going to be a train wreck. It's going to be

1676
01:19:13,240 --> 01:19:14,800
Speaker 2: an absolute train wreck.

1677
01:19:16,479 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's gonna look like. I genuinely

1678
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: have no clue.

1679
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,200
Speaker 2: How was he going to pause his lifestyle and put

1680
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:23,439
Speaker 2: through a real training camp.

1681
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:25,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that he will. I don't know that

1682
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,479
Speaker 1: he will, by the way, quickly, quickly, quickly, Because I

1683
01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:31,599
Speaker 1: don't want to make this entire thing about Connor Long Island. Luke,

1684
01:19:31,720 --> 01:19:33,840
Speaker 1: show us the face off, by the way Connor is

1685
01:19:33,840 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: in this one, but show us the face off between

1686
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:36,599
Speaker 1: Jeremy and Eddie.

1687
01:19:38,560 --> 01:20:00,600
Speaker 2: Riddle bitch and breaks all. I promise you every day,

1688
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:06,840
Speaker 2: you'll never beat an You're all done too slow to skiff.

1689
01:20:13,640 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 1: That was the That was the old one, that was

1690
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:17,479
Speaker 1: not last night's. But nevertheless, you can see that there

1691
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:19,160
Speaker 1: is a bit of a spirited back and forth.

1692
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 2: Between Yeah, I mean, I think Jeremy's got better one

1693
01:20:20,800 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 2: punch power. Eddie's a little older. I mean they've both

1694
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 2: been through the storms for sure, But I wonder if

1695
01:20:27,040 --> 01:20:30,040
Speaker 2: this style of fighting does suit Jeremy better. I mean,

1696
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:32,439
Speaker 2: he's a betting favorite, so the odds makers believe that.

1697
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 2: But dude, this will be a fun scrap I like

1698
01:20:35,160 --> 01:20:38,200
Speaker 2: Ben Rothwell and that comin event in the heavyweight championship

1699
01:20:38,200 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 2: fight with Mick Tarrell and also Luke Taylor starling against

1700
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 2: uh Beck wrote Routy Beck rawlings and the winner gets

1701
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 2: another title shot. So there's some things to tune in for.

1702
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:49,960
Speaker 2: I doubt you'll tune in at all.

1703
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: Let's go to topic number four. If we can be seen.

1704
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:55,160
Speaker 1: It was announced this week on the boxing side of

1705
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 1: things the Ring magazine, and we don't know where, we

1706
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 1: don't know exactly when. We know it's scheduled or at

1707
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: least targeted I should say for May May of this year.

1708
01:21:05,040 --> 01:21:06,680
Speaker 1: But here's what they're gonna have. And again, this is

1709
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:10,080
Speaker 1: not RIAD Season, this is Ring Magazine. So the difference

1710
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:13,639
Speaker 1: RIAD season is a function of the sovereign wealth fund

1711
01:21:13,720 --> 01:21:19,400
Speaker 1: that comes from Saudi Arabia. Ring Magazine is just Turkey's

1712
01:21:19,439 --> 01:21:24,880
Speaker 1: basically private thing. Okay, they're gonna stage a card headlined Byer.

1713
01:21:24,960 --> 01:21:27,960
Speaker 1: It's actually a triple header. Here we go Ryan Garcia

1714
01:21:28,160 --> 01:21:33,720
Speaker 1: versus Roly Romero, Devin Haney versus Jose Ramirez, and then

1715
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 1: at heavyweight Martin Bucoli taken on fa A Jagma BC.

1716
01:21:38,400 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: First question for you, one, rate the card. Second of all,

1717
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about this. Obviously, I realized that we've got

1718
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 1: a Hany and Garcia showdown that we're trying to set up.

1719
01:21:48,479 --> 01:21:50,840
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a second. Tell me

1720
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,280
Speaker 1: about these fights, skip the heavyweight one for just a second.

1721
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: How much of a threat is Roly for Ryan? And

1722
01:21:57,120 --> 01:21:59,439
Speaker 1: what do you make of what Ramirez, who at one

1723
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:01,640
Speaker 1: time was a very good fighter, what does he have

1724
01:22:01,800 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 1: left to give anything to Devin Haney.

1725
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:07,000
Speaker 2: I love this card and I get that people are like, oh,

1726
01:22:07,040 --> 01:22:09,439
Speaker 2: they already bait and switched because we thought it was

1727
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 2: going to be Ryan against Pitpule Cruz, who's coming back

1728
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:14,559
Speaker 2: next weekend on the PBC pay per view card against

1729
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:18,200
Speaker 2: on hell Fierro, and to Cruz's credit, he told Turkey, look,

1730
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 2: I don't want the build to my next fight next

1731
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:24,240
Speaker 2: week to be all about Ryan Garciso. He was unwilling

1732
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:26,200
Speaker 2: to sign for a fight when he currently has one,

1733
01:22:26,240 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 2: so I respect that. I don't think Roly has as

1734
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 2: much of a downgrade as people think, even though it

1735
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:34,679
Speaker 2: certainly lowers the competitive angle. Look, this card, I'm gonna

1736
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:36,840
Speaker 2: give it a A minus Luke, and I know people

1737
01:22:36,880 --> 01:22:39,000
Speaker 2: may be crazy about that, but this will be the

1738
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 2: second Ring Magazine series card, because the first one will

1739
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 2: be that Connor Ben Chris Ubank junior fight that's coming

1740
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,840
Speaker 2: up in April and London. This will be according to

1741
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 2: Turkey in Times Square, they're going to try to see

1742
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 2: if they can pull off in outdoor fight, which to me,

1743
01:22:54,439 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 2: if this event is all about the spectacle of Ring Magazine,

1744
01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:00,759
Speaker 2: of Turkey bringing fights back to the States, which pushes

1745
01:23:00,840 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 2: back against the idea that the saudy overlording of boxing

1746
01:23:04,200 --> 01:23:08,120
Speaker 2: is gonna kill the American market, and it's about hyping

1747
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 2: toward a can't missmatchup, which is a pay per view

1748
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 2: rematch of Haine Garcia. I love it because there's intrigue,

1749
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:19,160
Speaker 2: there's ridiculousness, there's craziness attached to this, and I think

1750
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:21,160
Speaker 2: there's enough of a threat for both fighters.

1751
01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:21,280
Speaker 8: Now.

1752
01:23:21,320 --> 01:23:23,720
Speaker 2: I get that Hany and Garcia are both coming off

1753
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:25,760
Speaker 2: your long layoffs, and some people say, hey, why don't

1754
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,679
Speaker 2: they just fight each other. I'm not usually a huge

1755
01:23:28,680 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 2: supporter of marination and building to something, but I do

1756
01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 2: recognize that both had very tumultuous years. Haini recovering from

1757
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,240
Speaker 2: the jaw injury and the really bad pr that he had.

1758
01:23:37,400 --> 01:23:40,520
Speaker 2: He even sued Ray Guy, and obviously Ryan got suspended

1759
01:23:40,560 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 2: for that drug thing and had craziness up and down throughout.

1760
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:47,200
Speaker 2: If you look at these matchups, Roly versus Ryan is

1761
01:23:47,240 --> 01:23:49,759
Speaker 2: going to be batshit crazy on the building and inside

1762
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,559
Speaker 2: the ring, the threat of Roly's power. Should Ryan win,

1763
01:23:52,600 --> 01:23:55,240
Speaker 2: should Ryan knock him out? Yes, but you can't tell

1764
01:23:55,280 --> 01:23:57,160
Speaker 2: me whether you love or hate Rolly, and most of

1765
01:23:57,160 --> 01:23:59,519
Speaker 2: you hate him that this won't be exciting to watch.

1766
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:02,280
Speaker 2: But I think the more intrigue is in that comin event.

1767
01:24:02,520 --> 01:24:04,800
Speaker 2: Hani needs to get his mojo back in a big way,

1768
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:07,519
Speaker 2: and even though Jose Ramirez is in the second half

1769
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 2: of his career, the former Unified one to forty champion,

1770
01:24:10,240 --> 01:24:12,879
Speaker 2: and even though he's never been a big one punch puncher,

1771
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:17,439
Speaker 2: he has a high motor, you know, combinations work ethic

1772
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:19,800
Speaker 2: gets inside on you that this is a tough fight

1773
01:24:19,840 --> 01:24:21,720
Speaker 2: for Devin Haney. Devin Haney's gonna have to dig in

1774
01:24:22,040 --> 01:24:25,000
Speaker 2: and remind us exactly who he used to be. This

1775
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:26,960
Speaker 2: is the right matchup in my mindset to do that

1776
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 2: where he's gonna get a little bit of a push,

1777
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,960
Speaker 2: but he should win. That heavyweight bout is gonna be

1778
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 2: fun just the same. So look, I have heard the

1779
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 2: groans or people that wanted Pitbull or people that want

1780
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: Haini Garcia two right now. But Turkey's trying to build

1781
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 2: to something, and let's not forget his actual plans, whether

1782
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:47,679
Speaker 2: they come off or not, not just to have Garcia

1783
01:24:47,760 --> 01:24:51,040
Speaker 2: versus Hani two in the fall, but to have Boots

1784
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 2: versus Tao and the Comaine after each have title unifications

1785
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:58,160
Speaker 2: and their respective divisions over the next couple of months.

1786
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 2: If everybody wins, we could be lining up for an

1787
01:25:01,240 --> 01:25:04,479
Speaker 2: insane double head of this fall, with the idea that

1788
01:25:04,520 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 2: the winner of Haiti Garcia two and the winner. If

1789
01:25:06,720 --> 01:25:09,720
Speaker 2: we get to there, of Tao Femo versus Boots, the

1790
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:12,400
Speaker 2: winners and losers would fight each other in early twenty

1791
01:25:12,439 --> 01:25:15,600
Speaker 2: six I'm not saying every part about this Turkey experience

1792
01:25:15,680 --> 01:25:17,760
Speaker 2: is perfect. I'm not saying this isn't set up to

1793
01:25:17,760 --> 01:25:20,880
Speaker 2: blow up in their faces if somebody pulls a big upset.

1794
01:25:21,160 --> 01:25:24,400
Speaker 2: But you have a plan, you have a roadmap. Look,

1795
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 2: I'm getting pretty fired up for this. Not gonna lie

1796
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,439
Speaker 2: to you, and I know that. You know you might say, well,

1797
01:25:28,479 --> 01:25:30,599
Speaker 2: why don't they just put an arena? If it's all

1798
01:25:30,640 --> 01:25:35,439
Speaker 2: about spectacle and building anticipation, you put that shit in

1799
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 2: Times Square where the last time we had anything was

1800
01:25:38,040 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 2: a Canelo versus Floyd Press stop back in twenty thirteen.

1801
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 2: That was pretty damn cool outdoors, right in the damn

1802
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 2: middle of Times Square. This is gonna be big. This

1803
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 2: is gonna be something really big. I'm here for it.

1804
01:25:50,400 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 1: What do you really expect from Ryan Garcia? You know,

1805
01:25:53,360 --> 01:25:56,160
Speaker 1: I he hasn't been arrested recently. I don't know if

1806
01:25:56,160 --> 01:26:00,280
Speaker 1: he's been burning any crosses, but obviously it's been a

1807
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 1: very weird time for him, saying outrageously racist things outrageously

1808
01:26:06,080 --> 01:26:08,400
Speaker 1: islamophobic things, having what appeared to be at some point

1809
01:26:08,439 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 1: again appeared to be some kind of mental breakdown. Things

1810
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,640
Speaker 1: have quieted down more recently. I don't know what to

1811
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:17,240
Speaker 1: make of that. I think you saw him at that

1812
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:21,320
Speaker 1: presser to get ready for the December Rising thing he

1813
01:26:21,360 --> 01:26:23,479
Speaker 1: was supposed to have. They got canceled. What do you

1814
01:26:23,520 --> 01:26:26,360
Speaker 1: make of Here's my question. Hainey has been gone for

1815
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 1: a while, but there's really not a question in my

1816
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:30,000
Speaker 1: mind about his readiness. Maybe about the damage he took

1817
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: in the Garcia fight, but not his readiness. I don't

1818
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,360
Speaker 1: know what to make of Garcia. I really don't have

1819
01:26:34,439 --> 01:26:35,680
Speaker 1: no idea what to make well.

1820
01:26:35,720 --> 01:26:38,599
Speaker 2: I don't have the exact details, of course, of whether

1821
01:26:38,640 --> 01:26:42,640
Speaker 2: he ever attended therapy. Is he on medications mentally? I

1822
01:26:42,640 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 2: don't know any of that. But I will say it's

1823
01:26:44,520 --> 01:26:47,000
Speaker 2: a new Ryan Garcia doesn't make up for the past.

1824
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:49,160
Speaker 2: But there was a guy. Look if you watched that

1825
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:51,960
Speaker 2: press conference with On Poe that I hosted, that dude

1826
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,479
Speaker 2: had in English written on paper all these insults to Ryan,

1827
01:26:55,560 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 2: called them a million names, crumbled up the paper, threw

1828
01:26:57,880 --> 01:26:59,800
Speaker 2: it at him, stood in his face, and then an

1829
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:02,720
Speaker 2: said fuck you, and Ryan didn't do a damn thing.

1830
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 2: He just sat there and left. That showed me it

1831
01:27:05,040 --> 01:27:07,880
Speaker 2: is a new Ryan. And Ryan has said to Marcos

1832
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:11,000
Speaker 2: Vegas in the past week that he doesn't expect to

1833
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:13,680
Speaker 2: do a lot of trash talk with Devin until officially

1834
01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,519
Speaker 2: that lawsuit is put to bed. His lawyers had advised him.

1835
01:27:16,520 --> 01:27:19,400
Speaker 2: So I do think you will see a more calm,

1836
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:22,280
Speaker 2: cool and collective Ryan. Will all that go out the

1837
01:27:22,280 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 2: window come fight week or when we finally get to

1838
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 2: Haini Garcia two and he become unhinged. I don't know.

1839
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 2: It depends on the control that his family has at

1840
01:27:30,800 --> 01:27:33,920
Speaker 2: the moment and trying to keep him in a safer place.

1841
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:36,760
Speaker 2: I feel like he's in a safer place. I also

1842
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 2: feel like he does fight better when he's a little

1843
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 2: off and unhinged. So he's a wild card, but I

1844
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 2: don't think he's as much of a danger to himself

1845
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:46,960
Speaker 2: in the moment. And as we look at these fights,

1846
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 2: Long Island, Lucas releasing some of the early odds to

1847
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:52,880
Speaker 2: us Ryan Garcia minus seven hundred to the plus four

1848
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:56,440
Speaker 2: to eighty Rowlely you have Hani a minus one thousand

1849
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,240
Speaker 2: favorite over the plus six thirty Romiras, which I think

1850
01:27:59,439 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 2: doesn't full tell you the story of that fight either.

1851
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:04,559
Speaker 2: And then Bocoli a minus four sixty favorite to the

1852
01:28:04,560 --> 01:28:07,800
Speaker 2: plus three thirty eight Jagba Luke Ra guy should win this.

1853
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,640
Speaker 2: And I know you don't appreciate the dry comedy of

1854
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 2: Rowley anywhere near the level that I do. But do

1855
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:16,040
Speaker 2: you think that fight is a fun be competitive and

1856
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:19,799
Speaker 2: see a possible threat for Garcia coming off a year layoff?

1857
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:23,120
Speaker 1: Rolly can crack. I think he got shown up a

1858
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,759
Speaker 1: little bit, you know, in twenty twenty four, and obviously

1859
01:28:25,760 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 1: he didn't deserve to win against the fighting who's the

1860
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:33,320
Speaker 1: old Venezuelan donky, but he beat Boso Moroso, yeah, Baroso Yeah,

1861
01:28:33,360 --> 01:28:36,360
Speaker 1: So I mean he's I think he's very very limited Garcia.

1862
01:28:36,400 --> 01:28:38,559
Speaker 1: As you indicated, these are not DK odds at minus

1863
01:28:38,560 --> 01:28:41,679
Speaker 1: seven hundred, that's probably fair. But Roly can crack. Even

1864
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:44,200
Speaker 1: Tank Davis was saying he was a little bit, you know,

1865
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:47,200
Speaker 1: nervous about the whole thing. So again, it really just

1866
01:28:47,240 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: comes down to what exactly has Ryan Garcia been up to,

1867
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: How is he how ready is he has he trained properly?

1868
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:56,800
Speaker 1: We really just have no clue. Now you see you

1869
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:59,360
Speaker 1: kind of you kind of do you have They've not

1870
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 1: released where this is supposed to be. Do you have

1871
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:02,640
Speaker 1: an inside track on where it's supposed to be?

1872
01:29:03,320 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, Times Square is what Turkey said he's going to

1873
01:29:05,960 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 2: try to pull off.

1874
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:09,839
Speaker 1: For many it's not official. They haven't it's not official.

1875
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 2: We don't know the date. We also don't.

1876
01:29:11,880 --> 01:29:13,880
Speaker 1: Know just May. He did say May.

1877
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,840
Speaker 2: Who's promoting it or what network? But given the given

1878
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 2: that both Haney and Ryan Garcia have been recent you know,

1879
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:23,240
Speaker 2: Dezone fighters, and Ryan's still in a contract with Golden

1880
01:29:23,240 --> 01:29:25,120
Speaker 2: but you'd have to believe it would be on his own.

1881
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:26,800
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. I don't know if they're

1882
01:29:26,800 --> 01:29:28,240
Speaker 2: gonna I don't think they're gonna go head to head

1883
01:29:28,280 --> 01:29:30,799
Speaker 2: with you know, I saw that PBC as a hold

1884
01:29:31,040 --> 01:29:34,400
Speaker 2: May third on the T Mobile arena, presumably for a

1885
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:36,800
Speaker 2: Canelo fight. I don't think they would go head to head,

1886
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:38,240
Speaker 2: but you never know. We'll see what happens to you.

1887
01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, you absolutely never know. Very quickly. Any thoughts on

1888
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: the Bocoli in a Jagma fight, You know what Bacoli

1889
01:29:46,040 --> 01:29:48,640
Speaker 1: looks like a modern day I mean, this is not

1890
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 1: quite right. I'm overstating it, but his style is reminiscent.

1891
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:54,160
Speaker 1: I should say it's better. His style is reminiscent of

1892
01:29:54,160 --> 01:29:58,040
Speaker 1: George Foreman, a jagua, big old, athletic heavyweight, limited but

1893
01:29:58,200 --> 01:29:59,600
Speaker 1: athletic and powerful.

1894
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's going to be a shootout. I

1895
01:30:02,360 --> 01:30:04,280
Speaker 2: think it's gonna end a knockout. Obviously you have to

1896
01:30:04,320 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 2: favor Bocoli, but look at how ballooned the odds we

1897
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,479
Speaker 2: shared with you were for the main and comine event.

1898
01:30:09,720 --> 01:30:13,000
Speaker 2: This fight a lot closer one because they're heavyweights. But

1899
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:17,400
Speaker 2: also Luke the performance Bocoli showed against Big Baby Anderson,

1900
01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:22,160
Speaker 2: which was relentless, brutal. Those the best performance we've ever

1901
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:24,280
Speaker 2: seen of him at this level. So he's got to

1902
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:26,120
Speaker 2: come out and prove that he can do this again.

1903
01:30:26,320 --> 01:30:29,000
Speaker 2: And I really like these three fights. You know, I

1904
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 2: don't think there's any you know, outside again outside of

1905
01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:34,360
Speaker 2: the concern that one of them loses and it foils

1906
01:30:34,400 --> 01:30:37,120
Speaker 2: the plans kind of like what we're doing here.

1907
01:30:38,080 --> 01:30:42,640
Speaker 1: B See how disastrous would it be if hany A

1908
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,080
Speaker 1: lost or be one but looked bad against Ramirez.

1909
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:49,080
Speaker 2: I mean, you could still save it if he wins

1910
01:30:49,160 --> 01:30:51,640
Speaker 2: but looks bad. You can bring up the layoff. It

1911
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 2: depends on the execution of it. I think obviously the

1912
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:57,880
Speaker 2: biggest factor here because Luke, you could eat if one

1913
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,560
Speaker 2: of these guys loses a close decision. I hate to

1914
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:03,160
Speaker 2: say it, but you could still go forward with Haney

1915
01:31:03,200 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 2: Garcia too. Anyway, because even though Hanny is a champion

1916
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:08,800
Speaker 2: at one forty, he never technically lost the title to

1917
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,600
Speaker 2: Ryan due to the no contest and the drug suspension.

1918
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:14,559
Speaker 2: It's not like we're tuning into that for that right

1919
01:31:14,600 --> 01:31:16,439
Speaker 2: If you're tuning into that to see them settle the

1920
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:19,120
Speaker 2: score against each other. I think the biggest issue would

1921
01:31:19,120 --> 01:31:21,680
Speaker 2: be if either guy got stopped, then you'd have to

1922
01:31:21,720 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 2: really wreck your plans.

1923
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:25,960
Speaker 1: God can you imagine that if like Rolly stopped him

1924
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,280
Speaker 1: or Ramira, and like, oh my god, that would really

1925
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:33,840
Speaker 1: mess up everything. That would really mess up everything. Okay,

1926
01:31:33,880 --> 01:31:35,280
Speaker 1: well that could be fun. So we'll have to wait

1927
01:31:35,360 --> 01:31:38,760
Speaker 1: to see how it's going to be broadcast, the exact date,

1928
01:31:38,840 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 1: the exact venue. They may move things around, we shall see,

1929
01:31:43,120 --> 01:31:45,080
Speaker 1: but may keep your eyes targeted.

1930
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:48,080
Speaker 2: By the way. Aaron Bronstead, a friend of the show,

1931
01:31:48,120 --> 01:31:51,000
Speaker 2: just tweeted that Rashad Evans is also draft eligible in

1932
01:31:51,040 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 2: this GFL loop.

1933
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,400
Speaker 1: I don't I love Rashot, I don't want to see

1934
01:31:56,479 --> 01:31:58,000
Speaker 1: him get hurt. Can I just say that out loud?

1935
01:31:58,320 --> 01:31:59,479
Speaker 1: Is that I don't think that's bad.

1936
01:31:59,720 --> 01:32:01,240
Speaker 2: No, I love for Shot, I don't want to see

1937
01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to see him box rampage either.

1938
01:32:03,320 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 1: By the way, I have a quick couple of reactions.

1939
01:32:04,920 --> 01:32:08,439
Speaker 1: I want to play if I may, this is really

1940
01:32:08,640 --> 01:32:11,360
Speaker 1: reacting to the idea of having to fight Garcia. Play

1941
01:32:11,360 --> 01:32:12,719
Speaker 1: that if you can't long downand Luke.

1942
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:17,599
Speaker 8: And he is a tremendous fighter, He's a tremendous viber.

1943
01:32:17,640 --> 01:32:22,320
Speaker 8: The wanting people he cannot be happened to be myself,

1944
01:32:22,760 --> 01:32:24,559
Speaker 8: Jawanta Davis and depression.

1945
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,600
Speaker 2: Okay, well that was shocking because I gotta ask I

1946
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:33,559
Speaker 2: gotta tell you this. I've interviewed Roly twice since Hanni

1947
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:38,680
Speaker 2: Garcia happened, and both times he surprisingly was like, I

1948
01:32:38,720 --> 01:32:41,080
Speaker 2: really fear for Ryan Garcia. People in his life should

1949
01:32:41,080 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 2: take over and realize that this young fighter needs, you know,

1950
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:47,759
Speaker 2: the right people around him. Like he was very oddly

1951
01:32:48,479 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 2: careful and concerned and now he's just like, yeah, it's

1952
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:52,719
Speaker 2: gonna be wild.

1953
01:32:52,840 --> 01:32:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, one more clip, if I may, there's a clip.

1954
01:32:55,040 --> 01:32:57,080
Speaker 1: It's an old one because you'll notice as a Showtime

1955
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:00,000
Speaker 1: microphone flag, Showtime Rest in Peace, best job I ever had.

1956
01:33:01,800 --> 01:33:04,680
Speaker 1: Where they ask him about roly Is again it's a

1957
01:33:04,760 --> 01:33:08,439
Speaker 1: completely different context, but he does speak on it. Roll

1958
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: the clip.

1959
01:33:09,600 --> 01:33:11,920
Speaker 8: Bring on Roley's you know he's part of BBC.

1960
01:33:12,040 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 2: He already ran at once with EVC. I didn't get

1961
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:17,000
Speaker 2: my get back. I'm beetly and we're gonna have that.

1962
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:19,640
Speaker 9: I just pray to God, pray to God, trying to

1963
01:33:19,640 --> 01:33:22,320
Speaker 9: see where he was guiding me, and he just led

1964
01:33:22,360 --> 01:33:25,160
Speaker 9: me to Dallas, led me to Derek, and I pursued it,

1965
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:27,599
Speaker 9: and uh, I'm here now and I feel good.

1966
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: I feel, you know, like it's like.

1967
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 2: His family, like a demon.

1968
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,120
Speaker 9: So I'm hungry man. That's why I'm here every day training.

1969
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:35,800
Speaker 9: I didn't even know who's happening. But I came to

1970
01:33:35,880 --> 01:33:36,719
Speaker 9: Fame with Derek.

1971
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:38,840
Speaker 2: And Uh, like I said, he's a muss and happy

1972
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,799
Speaker 2: to be part of the team. I'm improving, getting better.

1973
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:46,360
Speaker 1: BC. Is he still with Derek James?

1974
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:48,800
Speaker 2: I believe he is. Yes, Derek James was at the

1975
01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 2: press conference for the ONPO fight, so I think we're

1976
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,559
Speaker 2: still there. Okay, the one who doesn't have a trainer

1977
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 2: still is Eryl Spence, and that was part of the

1978
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 2: reason why that fight with Fundora didn't come together because

1979
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:02,519
Speaker 2: Spence wasn't ready in this for this spring season coming up.

1980
01:34:02,560 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: So bro Spence will show up around Dallas like at

1981
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:08,400
Speaker 1: a gym, just lifting weights, like not even you know,

1982
01:34:08,560 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 1: just the whatever, and people will people will take pictures

1983
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:13,840
Speaker 1: of it and be like, yo, Arrol's at the gym.

1984
01:34:13,880 --> 01:34:15,599
Speaker 1: He's got no one training with him. I think he's

1985
01:34:15,640 --> 01:34:17,880
Speaker 1: hit rock bottom. I'm like, I think he's lifting weights.

1986
01:34:18,160 --> 01:34:19,280
Speaker 1: I think he's lifting weights.

1987
01:34:19,439 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 2: What do you make of PBC? By the way, uh,

1988
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:23,559
Speaker 2: looks like they're going to be part of this. Keith

1989
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:26,400
Speaker 2: Thurman comeback in Australia and it looks like they're building

1990
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:30,479
Speaker 2: toward the idea. Per reporting from Dan Rayfield of Thurman

1991
01:34:30,600 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 2: versus Zoo all over again and not on pay per

1992
01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:34,320
Speaker 2: view in the States over the sun.

1993
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,400
Speaker 1: Dude, if they can find a way to get Thurman

1994
01:34:36,479 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 1: in front of Zoo, dude, Zoo is I mean hanging

1995
01:34:39,280 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 1: by a thread right now?

1996
01:34:41,280 --> 01:34:43,040
Speaker 2: He was supposed to be got his dad training him.

1997
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 2: It's not beneficial. But there's videos of them continually working

1998
01:34:46,200 --> 01:34:48,599
Speaker 2: out together. That's that's the direction. I think he needs

1999
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:48,840
Speaker 2: to go.

2000
01:34:49,120 --> 01:34:52,559
Speaker 1: I think Tim Zoo's got some ability, but last year

2001
01:34:52,800 --> 01:34:56,280
Speaker 1: was a disaster for him, which made it a disaster

2002
01:34:56,400 --> 01:35:00,120
Speaker 1: for PBC. If they can get him get right with

2003
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:00,759
Speaker 1: Keith Thurman.

2004
01:35:01,240 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 3: That I like that.

2005
01:35:03,160 --> 01:35:05,639
Speaker 1: I actually, I'm guessing you feel the same.

2006
01:35:05,880 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 2: I do, you know, I like it better now than

2007
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 2: I did even you know a year ago when it

2008
01:35:09,760 --> 01:35:12,040
Speaker 2: was sort of a weird but interesting matchup that was

2009
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:14,040
Speaker 2: supposed to headline their first pay per view until Thurman

2010
01:35:14,120 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 2: got hurt. Obviously, Thurman's been out of the ring for

2011
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,880
Speaker 2: three years but still has a very gaudy record, just

2012
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,320
Speaker 2: one defeat. He's gonna go in there against Brock Jarvis,

2013
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:23,840
Speaker 2: who was knocked out in one round by Liam Paro.

2014
01:35:24,479 --> 01:35:26,280
Speaker 2: So it's a certain you know, it's a certain level

2015
01:35:26,320 --> 01:35:29,120
Speaker 2: test for him. But see what happens here, Luke PBC

2016
01:35:29,120 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 2: getting creative again, all right?

2017
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:32,519
Speaker 1: And then last but not least, we see, let's go

2018
01:35:32,560 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 1: to topic number five if we can. I don't know

2019
01:35:34,880 --> 01:35:38,480
Speaker 1: if we have any reaction from this or any highlights,

2020
01:35:38,479 --> 01:35:41,519
Speaker 1: but noya in a way one this morning, BC, you

2021
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:43,880
Speaker 1: got up early to watch I caught the highlights. Well,

2022
01:35:43,920 --> 01:35:45,920
Speaker 1: I watched the fight highlights. First that I watched the

2023
01:35:45,920 --> 01:35:49,960
Speaker 1: fight afterwards. It was a fourth round Ko basically over

2024
01:35:50,000 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: this guy whose name I don't have right in front

2025
01:35:51,360 --> 01:35:57,320
Speaker 1: of you, but June Kim BC your reaction to NOI

2026
01:35:57,400 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 1: in a way, now, this was not the opponent he

2027
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 1: was supposed to face. This was a last minute replacement.

2028
01:36:03,040 --> 01:36:06,840
Speaker 1: You know, we have to have very measured sense here

2029
01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:08,800
Speaker 1: of what happened and what it means. But to the

2030
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: extent that there is anything to take from it, what

2031
01:36:11,240 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 1: would it be?

2032
01:36:12,080 --> 01:36:14,800
Speaker 2: Well, Sam Goodman of Australia was the mandatory challenger who

2033
01:36:14,840 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 2: twice had to pull out with kuts, the second time

2034
01:36:16,800 --> 01:36:20,200
Speaker 2: obviously in ten days notice. So it was Gehu and Kim,

2035
01:36:20,200 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 2: who is best known for his secondary nickname of Packy Weather,

2036
01:36:24,360 --> 01:36:26,519
Speaker 2: which is hilarious. But I'll give Kim a lot of credit.

2037
01:36:26,920 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 2: He had two losses coming in, not a huge resume

2038
01:36:29,439 --> 01:36:32,639
Speaker 2: against huge names, although he had you know, beaten five

2039
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:35,960
Speaker 2: of in a way's countrymen of Japan fighting out of

2040
01:36:35,960 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 2: South Korea. Kim really made in a way for the

2041
01:36:39,920 --> 01:36:42,320
Speaker 2: first couple of rounds. Have to really kind of patiently

2042
01:36:42,400 --> 01:36:44,800
Speaker 2: work the first round that just feeling each other out.

2043
01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 2: Kim opened up in the south past stance, which was

2044
01:36:47,040 --> 01:36:49,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of a surprise and carried that throughout.

2045
01:36:49,479 --> 01:36:51,280
Speaker 2: But what you saw from in a way was what

2046
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:54,760
Speaker 2: he does creep ever so closely, constantly push you through

2047
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,680
Speaker 2: to the corner, and then really deceive you with the

2048
01:36:57,720 --> 01:37:00,320
Speaker 2: fact that he'll bring out that change up. You know,

2049
01:37:01,200 --> 01:37:03,599
Speaker 2: looped the jab out there, but then come right back

2050
01:37:03,600 --> 01:37:05,840
Speaker 2: with that laser right hand. I like what in Awa

2051
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 2: did in round three when Kim had some of his

2052
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:10,800
Speaker 2: only success of the fight. It lured Kim into being

2053
01:37:11,160 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 2: confident enough to start trading with Inua and that's where

2054
01:37:14,520 --> 01:37:17,200
Speaker 2: the opening started. And then round four, as Kim tried

2055
01:37:17,240 --> 01:37:19,040
Speaker 2: to step on the gas of it all in a

2056
01:37:19,040 --> 01:37:21,639
Speaker 2: way did was meet his pressure with even more back

2057
01:37:21,680 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 2: him up and Luke, it's kind of gone viral this morning.

2058
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 2: The final highlight when in a way hurt him with

2059
01:37:27,280 --> 01:37:29,240
Speaker 2: a looping left hook and then Kim with his back

2060
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 2: to the ropes, was like bring it. What did in

2061
01:37:31,439 --> 01:37:35,080
Speaker 2: a way do two punch combination a brutal right cross

2062
01:37:35,120 --> 01:37:37,720
Speaker 2: which dropped him and even though Kim was struggling to

2063
01:37:37,720 --> 01:37:40,000
Speaker 2: get to his feet, referee Mark Nelson waved it off.

2064
01:37:40,040 --> 01:37:43,000
Speaker 2: So you know, it's obviously with a late replacement. It's

2065
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,040
Speaker 2: not gonna have a huge effect on in Away's resume.

2066
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 2: But I think the biggest news we saw coming out

2067
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 2: of there was Bob Aaron in his early nineties, made

2068
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:52,760
Speaker 2: the flight to Japan, was in the ring after, and

2069
01:37:52,800 --> 01:37:54,640
Speaker 2: both him and New in a way talked about the

2070
01:37:54,720 --> 01:37:57,120
Speaker 2: idea that he is going to come back to Las Vegas.

2071
01:37:57,120 --> 01:37:59,519
Speaker 2: He fought there twice, once in twenty twenty once in

2072
01:37:59,520 --> 01:38:02,200
Speaker 2: twenty two. He won back to back fights, scored knockouts

2073
01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:05,080
Speaker 2: in both. We don't know the opponent yet, but he's

2074
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:06,920
Speaker 2: gonna come back on us soil. I mean, what are

2075
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:09,880
Speaker 2: you gonna say about him, Luke, He's unbelievable watching him

2076
01:38:09,920 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 2: for three plus rounds, decode a guy that kind of

2077
01:38:14,160 --> 01:38:16,120
Speaker 2: made him have to work a little bit, right. I mean,

2078
01:38:16,120 --> 01:38:17,840
Speaker 2: I think in a way has learned from that Luis

2079
01:38:17,840 --> 01:38:19,840
Speaker 2: Snari fight where he was dropped in the opening round

2080
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:22,760
Speaker 2: not to over extend himself too much until he's kind

2081
01:38:22,760 --> 01:38:25,080
Speaker 2: of figured the other guy out. But at thirty one,

2082
01:38:25,160 --> 01:38:27,720
Speaker 2: in a way, still in the mix as potentially the

2083
01:38:27,720 --> 01:38:30,320
Speaker 2: powerful pound best depending on your opinion. In a Way

2084
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,880
Speaker 2: said in interviews this week that he believes Usik deserves

2085
01:38:32,880 --> 01:38:35,439
Speaker 2: the number one slot, but I know we all want

2086
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 2: to see him Luke against Bam Rodriguez against you know,

2087
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:43,920
Speaker 2: Akmadalia potentially right the former unified champion in this division

2088
01:38:43,960 --> 01:38:47,240
Speaker 2: at one twenty two, but just a remarkable fighter in

2089
01:38:47,280 --> 01:38:50,240
Speaker 2: the midst of a remarkable career, four division champion and

2090
01:38:50,520 --> 01:38:53,559
Speaker 2: undisputed in two way classes. Not a killer in front

2091
01:38:53,560 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 2: of him, but he handled his business perfectly.

2092
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:57,720
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I have two fights I want to

2093
01:38:57,720 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 1: see from him, either the Nakatani fight or the Akhmedaliev fight,

2094
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 1: and him fighting in the United States in twenty twenty five.

2095
01:39:06,200 --> 01:39:08,559
Speaker 1: There's not many guys BC I would travel to to

2096
01:39:08,720 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 1: watch fight, like on my own volition. Yes, but if

2097
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 1: he fights either Akhmadaliev or Nakatani in the United States

2098
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five, we might have to go to that. Wow,

2099
01:39:21,320 --> 01:39:23,360
Speaker 1: don't you feel that way? He's again, I don't think

2100
01:39:23,360 --> 01:39:24,760
Speaker 1: he deserves number one pound for pound for all the

2101
01:39:24,800 --> 01:39:26,519
Speaker 1: reasons you kind of hinted that, and everyone can kind

2102
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 1: of see the score at this point, but he is

2103
01:39:29,479 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: like one of those guys who's of that level. Yeah,

2104
01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:35,519
Speaker 1: and he doesn't fight in the US very often. Who

2105
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:38,000
Speaker 1: knows if it's the actual last time he even competes

2106
01:39:38,040 --> 01:39:42,440
Speaker 1: in the United States, if he's taken on somebody who's relevant.

2107
01:39:43,200 --> 01:39:45,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't get many of these. We don't

2108
01:39:45,240 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: get many of these.

2109
01:39:46,120 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 2: So there's a rumor out there that he could be

2110
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 2: cashing in one of his mandatories in the States against

2111
01:39:51,240 --> 01:39:54,320
Speaker 2: Alan David Picasso, which is not a horrible fight. I

2112
01:39:54,439 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 2: like it, but I get what you're saying. We want

2113
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:57,200
Speaker 2: we want the big ones.

2114
01:39:57,240 --> 01:39:57,400
Speaker 5: Now.

2115
01:39:57,640 --> 01:40:00,679
Speaker 2: He's when you're an undisputed champion, which is you're gonna

2116
01:40:00,680 --> 01:40:03,120
Speaker 2: have to take care of your mandatories of each sanctioning body.

2117
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 2: So we've seen that of laid of sort of these

2118
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:07,560
Speaker 2: mandatory ones. But I agree with you. I'd like to

2119
01:40:07,560 --> 01:40:10,479
Speaker 2: see him against unbeaten bantamway champion and POWF pound rank

2120
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 2: Junto Nakatani. I want to see him obviously against Bam Rodriguez.

2121
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:16,920
Speaker 2: He's shown us a willingness to take on big fights,

2122
01:40:16,920 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 2: like when he debuted in this division two years ago

2123
01:40:19,360 --> 01:40:23,240
Speaker 2: and took out unbeaten Stephen Fulton Junior. So remarkable, a

2124
01:40:23,320 --> 01:40:28,160
Speaker 2: remarkable fighter and superstar and athlete. Luke one of those

2125
01:40:28,160 --> 01:40:29,639
Speaker 2: guys where every once in a while, Ago Man I'm

2126
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:32,080
Speaker 2: honored to be you know, the role I have in

2127
01:40:32,120 --> 01:40:34,360
Speaker 2: this erow with him on top, because this really is

2128
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 2: a special especially from that side of the world. You know,

2129
01:40:36,760 --> 01:40:39,599
Speaker 2: we've seen great fighters from Japan, certainly in the smaller

2130
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,760
Speaker 2: weight classes, but not one of this global stature who

2131
01:40:42,840 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 2: just continues to do remarkable things there.

2132
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:47,479
Speaker 1: It is, all right, that's our top five here on

2133
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:49,519
Speaker 1: the show today. B C. I don't know if we

2134
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: have any fan subs, but I do have some dead wrongs.

2135
01:40:53,280 --> 01:40:54,360
Speaker 1: If you're curious about that.

2136
01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:55,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're gonna read them.

2137
01:40:58,120 --> 01:40:58,439
Speaker 1: Wrong.

2138
01:41:03,240 --> 01:41:07,080
Speaker 2: Oh, surprise, surprise, Luke. I didn't see that coming.

2139
01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:09,320
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how much I like it, but I

2140
01:41:09,360 --> 01:41:10,880
Speaker 1: do like the fact that they put something up there.

2141
01:41:10,920 --> 01:41:12,599
Speaker 3: That is it's a work in the it's a work

2142
01:41:12,600 --> 01:41:14,719
Speaker 3: in progress. We just needed something for you guys.

2143
01:41:14,840 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 1: Fair enough, fair enough, you know what. I applaud the

2144
01:41:18,520 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 1: effort built, build back better. That's what we're doing, build

2145
01:41:21,400 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 1: back at right. See, if you want to do the

2146
01:41:23,040 --> 01:41:24,240
Speaker 1: dead wrongs, by all means.

2147
01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh here we go. We give you the opportunity

2148
01:41:26,479 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 2: to take us to count, put us on the stand.

2149
01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: This is where you tell us what we said was wrong.

2150
01:41:32,040 --> 01:41:34,000
Speaker 2: You obviously can support the or reach out to the

2151
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,040
Speaker 2: show at Morning Coombat at gmail dot com. You see

2152
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:39,000
Speaker 2: that address below. We want your fan subs on Friday.

2153
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 2: We want your dead wrongs on Friday. We don't want

2154
01:41:41,560 --> 01:41:44,320
Speaker 2: pictures of your shaft to mikey Okay, that's just it's just,

2155
01:41:44,360 --> 01:41:46,559
Speaker 2: you know, leave that man alone. Let's hear from Kevin,

2156
01:41:46,600 --> 01:41:49,160
Speaker 2: he says. On last Monday's episode, at around the one

2157
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:53,639
Speaker 2: hour thirty mark, Brian said Lioto versus BJ Penn happened

2158
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:55,600
Speaker 2: at heavyweight, and look correct at him, saying it was

2159
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:59,519
Speaker 2: light heavyweight. Lioto weighed in at two twenty five and

2160
01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 2: one ninety one, so you can either consider it a

2161
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 2: heavyweight fight or an open weight fight.

2162
01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, more open.

2163
01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 2: Definitely wasn't a light heavyweight. I only point this out

2164
01:42:09,520 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 2: because Luke felt it necessary to correct BC, even though

2165
01:42:12,960 --> 01:42:15,320
Speaker 2: in fact he was dead wrong.

2166
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:19,720
Speaker 1: Fair enough, I'll accept that, l That's a good correction, Uh, Luke? Also,

2167
01:42:19,720 --> 01:42:21,679
Speaker 1: have you ever seen that fight? BJ had a big

2168
01:42:21,720 --> 01:42:24,120
Speaker 1: ass belly, so like that one ninety was not a

2169
01:42:24,200 --> 01:42:26,080
Speaker 1: functional one ninety. But what are you gonna do?

2170
01:42:26,479 --> 01:42:28,840
Speaker 2: Luke? Who would you say? You know is on fire

2171
01:42:28,920 --> 01:42:31,880
Speaker 2: this year and providing us with dead wrongs? Is our ambudsman, is.

2172
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:34,720
Speaker 1: Ours back up on that ass and give his motherfucker's

2173
01:42:34,720 --> 01:42:35,639
Speaker 1: a blast on the past.

2174
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:38,720
Speaker 2: Come on, hey, mahalo aloha all that, Daz says, Hey

2175
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:42,720
Speaker 2: donks on Monday's January thirteenth episode at one hour and

2176
01:42:42,760 --> 01:42:45,880
Speaker 2: twelve minutes LT and discussing Islam going for the record

2177
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 2: of four title defenses. At one five to five, he says,

2178
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:51,960
Speaker 2: I believe Penn has two defenses against Gray Maynard.

2179
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:54,920
Speaker 1: Luke, No, Frankie has two defenses against Grey Maynard.

2180
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:57,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you said Penn, and I should Well, I just

2181
01:42:57,160 --> 01:42:57,439
Speaker 2: made it.

2182
01:42:57,479 --> 01:42:59,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I messed up the wording. I don't actually

2183
01:42:59,560 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 1: think he fucking fought Gray Maynard twice.

2184
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:04,920
Speaker 2: All right, Luke, we know you're getting washed because not

2185
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:06,880
Speaker 2: only did you mean to say Frankie as Penn and

2186
01:43:06,920 --> 01:43:10,160
Speaker 2: Maynard have never fought, but also Frankie only beat Gray

2187
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 2: once as the champion. The other title fight was a

2188
01:43:13,479 --> 01:43:15,800
Speaker 2: draw in which he retained the title but did not

2189
01:43:15,960 --> 01:43:18,599
Speaker 2: defend it. Well, a draw is a defense, so actually

2190
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:19,519
Speaker 2: Daz might be dead.

2191
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:21,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hold it wrong on that one, But yeah

2192
01:43:21,880 --> 01:43:23,800
Speaker 1: I said that. That's obviously totally wrong. But I'm not.

2193
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:27,400
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not like confusing who fought Gray Maynard.

2194
01:43:27,600 --> 01:43:29,920
Speaker 2: If you fight for your own title and you don't lose,

2195
01:43:29,960 --> 01:43:32,679
Speaker 2: it's a title defense. Daz would go on to say,

2196
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,760
Speaker 2: shortly after confusing Penn and Edgar. You then went on

2197
01:43:35,800 --> 01:43:38,719
Speaker 2: to say Penn has three different names for his title.

2198
01:43:38,760 --> 01:43:43,720
Speaker 2: Defense is just further confirming your washedness in early dementia. Wow,

2199
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:50,799
Speaker 2: Dad's getting hot. He's saying that Penn has three different

2200
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:53,280
Speaker 2: names for he's So he's saying that you said BJ

2201
01:43:53,439 --> 01:43:55,880
Speaker 2: Penn defended his title against three different people.

2202
01:43:59,080 --> 01:44:01,439
Speaker 1: Okay, so who did defendainst.

2203
01:44:01,200 --> 01:44:04,479
Speaker 2: Dazays excited for the return of pregame preview and other content.

2204
01:44:04,560 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 2: Happy New Year, So, Daz, thank you for the dead wrong.

2205
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,920
Speaker 2: We'll find out if you in fact were dead wrong.

2206
01:44:09,200 --> 01:44:10,720
Speaker 2: And I did like that. He tried to dunk on

2207
01:44:10,800 --> 01:44:12,160
Speaker 2: Luke pretty hard there in the paint.

2208
01:44:12,240 --> 01:44:14,600
Speaker 1: He just once again, once again, you're supposed to be

2209
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:16,760
Speaker 1: my friend, but all you do is go after me,

2210
01:44:16,840 --> 01:44:17,680
Speaker 1: which I'd never ought.

2211
01:44:17,840 --> 01:44:20,000
Speaker 2: You have to ask yourself, should I befriend you more

2212
01:44:20,160 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 2: or the people who's more important to the future of

2213
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:22,360
Speaker 2: the show?

2214
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:22,880
Speaker 3: Luke me?

2215
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:23,400
Speaker 2: Uh?

2216
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: BJ Penn had I'm right he thought she defended against

2217
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:28,719
Speaker 1: Sean Shirky defended against Kenny Floor and he defended against

2218
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,280
Speaker 1: Diego Sanchez. What about that is wrong?

2219
01:44:30,479 --> 01:44:33,840
Speaker 2: Hey, take that that, Mahalo Daz. All right, put that

2220
01:44:33,880 --> 01:44:36,120
Speaker 2: in your pipe and smoke it at the Lava factory.

2221
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:38,920
Speaker 2: All right, good news, Luke Daz is back for our

2222
01:44:38,960 --> 01:44:41,400
Speaker 2: third dead Wrong. Hi donks, Oh no, sorry, this is

2223
01:44:41,400 --> 01:44:43,800
Speaker 2: from Marcelo, but I think Daz also called us out.

2224
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:48,920
Speaker 2: Marcelo says, chairs from Brazil cheers, not chairs cheers from Brazil.

2225
01:44:49,320 --> 01:44:51,920
Speaker 2: On the UFC three to eleven recap episode, Luke said

2226
01:44:51,920 --> 01:44:55,479
Speaker 2: he couldn't imagine RDR winning against Fluffy Hernandez if they

2227
01:44:55,479 --> 01:44:58,840
Speaker 2: ever fought Long Island. Luke then said, probably under the

2228
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:02,120
Speaker 2: influence of drugs, that the dutch Man had already beaten

2229
01:45:02,200 --> 01:45:06,440
Speaker 2: Fluffy in twenty twenty. Hey, Long Island, Luke on the marijuana,

2230
01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:06,680
Speaker 2: I was.

2231
01:45:06,720 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 1: Wondering about that. I had no memory of it.

2232
01:45:08,960 --> 01:45:12,080
Speaker 3: I was like, well, this was simply just confusion on

2233
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:12,479
Speaker 3: my end.

2234
01:45:12,479 --> 01:45:14,439
Speaker 4: I thought we were talking about Kevin Holland, because we

2235
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:16,600
Speaker 4: were talking about the Kevin Holland RDR matchup, and you

2236
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 4: were like, who could.

2237
01:45:17,560 --> 01:45:19,360
Speaker 3: Kevin Holland even beat in the top fifteen?

2238
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,400
Speaker 4: And you said like could he beat Fluffy And I said, no,

2239
01:45:22,400 --> 01:45:23,720
Speaker 4: they are, he already beat him.

2240
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:25,439
Speaker 2: I just blindly took Long Island Luke.

2241
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, me too, me too. I was I

2242
01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:28,880
Speaker 1: was thinking, oh, I must have just fucked this.

2243
01:45:29,200 --> 01:45:31,679
Speaker 4: That was I just thought you were talking about Kevin Holland,

2244
01:45:31,680 --> 01:45:33,679
Speaker 4: you were talking about RDR. But just like you said

2245
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 4: in the last Dad wrong, I knew what I was

2246
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:36,120
Speaker 4: talking about.

2247
01:45:36,160 --> 01:45:38,280
Speaker 3: I just confused fake news.

2248
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:40,680
Speaker 2: Arsnello says Long Island Luke should cut back on the

2249
01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:43,879
Speaker 2: marijuana doses is in his hookah. Before the show's Fluffy

2250
01:45:43,960 --> 01:45:46,479
Speaker 2: never shared the cage with rdr's only losses were to

2251
01:45:46,520 --> 01:45:49,479
Speaker 2: Marcus Prez and Kevin Holland, and in twenty twenty, de

2252
01:45:49,600 --> 01:45:52,360
Speaker 2: Ritter was still with one championship while Fluffy was in

2253
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:53,320
Speaker 2: his second year.

2254
01:45:53,240 --> 01:45:54,000
Speaker 3: With the UFC.

2255
01:45:54,400 --> 01:45:57,280
Speaker 2: All right, This next dead wrong was from Joseph and Andrew.

2256
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 2: I'm not sure which one wrote it, but it says,

2257
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:01,400
Speaker 2: at one fifty nine kind of Monday show, Luke, Look

2258
01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,000
Speaker 2: you're you're getting Look you are in the crosshairs. Brother

2259
01:46:04,320 --> 01:46:07,080
Speaker 2: Luke correctly identified a marine and have you seen the

2260
01:46:07,120 --> 01:46:10,760
Speaker 2: ship video? As a lance corporal. However, he would get

2261
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:13,799
Speaker 2: lost in the sauce when he said that a lance

2262
01:46:13,840 --> 01:46:15,599
Speaker 2: corporal is an O three.

2263
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:17,040
Speaker 1: No, it's an E three.

2264
01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:20,000
Speaker 2: This is dead wrong. As a lance corporal is actually

2265
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:22,320
Speaker 2: an E three D. It would be a captain, Luke,

2266
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:24,799
Speaker 2: I don't blame you, I blame your drill instructor.

2267
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:29,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's the officer. E enlisted. So I was

2268
01:46:29,080 --> 01:46:30,960
Speaker 1: in E five when I got out a sergeant.

2269
01:46:31,360 --> 01:46:32,280
Speaker 2: Did you take a dead wrong?

2270
01:46:32,320 --> 01:46:32,439
Speaker 9: There?

2271
01:46:32,479 --> 01:46:33,360
Speaker 2: I think you took a dead wrong.

2272
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean if I said that, that's wrong. But

2273
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:39,680
Speaker 1: obviously you know E enlisted O officer. So and if

2274
01:46:39,680 --> 01:46:42,040
Speaker 1: you have if you have rank on your collar and

2275
01:46:42,120 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: it's shiny, you're an officer. And if you have rank

2276
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:46,960
Speaker 1: on your arm and it's what a patch, what they

2277
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:48,719
Speaker 1: call a chevron, you are enlisted.

2278
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:51,960
Speaker 2: And despite your rank, you are still eligible to run

2279
01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:52,880
Speaker 2: a train on usboard.

2280
01:46:53,600 --> 01:46:56,760
Speaker 1: Dirholder, I declined. I remember being like, no, I'm not

2281
01:46:56,760 --> 01:46:58,479
Speaker 1: getting in trouble with you fucking idiots. No.

2282
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,439
Speaker 2: I knew a guy who played like low level D

2283
01:47:01,560 --> 01:47:03,760
Speaker 2: one college football in the eighties, and the stories that

2284
01:47:03,800 --> 01:47:07,439
Speaker 2: he told me about the old line running trains. I

2285
01:47:07,479 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 2: was just like appalled by it.

2286
01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of guys out there that are

2287
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:11,559
Speaker 1: real bad people.

2288
01:47:12,400 --> 01:47:14,840
Speaker 2: Wow. Our final dead wrong is from a man either

2289
01:47:14,920 --> 01:47:18,200
Speaker 2: named Kai or k Why either way? Luke? I think

2290
01:47:18,240 --> 01:47:20,360
Speaker 2: he think he gets up in that ash. Right, you

2291
01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying?

2292
01:47:21,160 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 1: Well, middle name astro Glibe.

2293
01:47:24,479 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 2: All right, Kai says, Hey, this is a dead wrong

2294
01:47:27,439 --> 01:47:30,760
Speaker 2: from Kai. In thunder Bay, Ontario on Monday Show at

2295
01:47:30,800 --> 01:47:33,240
Speaker 2: one hour and nine minutes. Luke claims that no one

2296
01:47:33,439 --> 01:47:38,080
Speaker 2: is more mad all the time than Morob Luke, this

2297
01:47:38,280 --> 01:47:40,800
Speaker 2: is dead wrong. Have you ever heard of this guy

2298
01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:50,040
Speaker 2: named Luke? Thomas Luke? How do you defend yourself here?

2299
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,320
Speaker 1: Is it an unfair charge? I think you know in

2300
01:47:55,360 --> 01:47:57,120
Speaker 1: my heart of hearts it is. But from the outside

2301
01:47:57,120 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 1: looking in I can understand it.

2302
01:47:58,360 --> 01:48:00,639
Speaker 2: Wow. I came out unscathed in that dead wrong. Thank

2303
01:48:00,640 --> 01:48:02,720
Speaker 2: you for your submissions. We do, by the way, have

2304
01:48:02,800 --> 01:48:06,480
Speaker 2: one final segment. Fan submissions.

2305
01:48:06,520 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 1: Oh, we do have them.

2307
01:48:14,439 --> 01:48:16,920
Speaker 2: of males wrote in this week. This is from Peter,

2308
01:48:17,040 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 2: He says, hello, fellas, I love the content. I sent

2309
01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:22,920
Speaker 2: this photo last month, but apparently there wasn't enough fan

2310
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:26,879
Speaker 2: subs that week, so it got lost in the sauce. Anyways,

2311
01:48:26,920 --> 01:48:28,960
Speaker 2: here's me and my lady at the happiest place on

2312
01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 2: Earth for her birthday. We had an amazing time and

2313
01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 2: she even agreed to take a picture while I was

2314
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:35,880
Speaker 2: wearing this ugly sweater. I placed some MK on the

2315
01:48:35,960 --> 01:48:39,160
Speaker 2: drive to show ways of the donks. Thank you for everything.

2316
01:48:39,200 --> 01:48:41,600
Speaker 2: Keep up the great work, and Luke, I'm rooting for

2317
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:44,639
Speaker 2: your boys since the Eagles took out my packers.

2318
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:49,719
Speaker 1: Oh man, well, I appreciate that. And it's the happiest

2319
01:48:49,720 --> 01:48:52,040
Speaker 1: place on Earth. BC also happens to be the most

2320
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 1: expensive place on Earth, but also the happiest place on Earth.

2321
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:57,400
Speaker 2: That man looks like he may have rushed the steps

2322
01:48:57,400 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 2: on jan six, but I'm happy to hear that he

2323
01:48:59,080 --> 01:48:59,840
Speaker 2: got bared in Luke.

2324
01:49:00,040 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 1: Okay, you see, I'm not an expert on these things,

2325
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:04,080
Speaker 1: but are those macho man Randy Savage glasses?

2326
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:06,880
Speaker 2: They look like it. But I appreciate him wearing the

2327
01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:09,639
Speaker 2: MK with the ugly sweater on top and his beautiful

2328
01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:12,760
Speaker 2: wife or lady with him. Well done, people, Thank you

2329
01:49:12,880 --> 01:49:15,439

Speaker 2: Thomas Sigel and his family, Christina Thomas and Charlotte. Also,

2345
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:01,839

Speaker 2: can I send you my MK Christmas boxer briefs that

2349
01:50:11,160 --> 01:50:14,440
Speaker 1: So, Luke, it's not a Leandro, it's a Lejandro.

2350
01:50:14,600 --> 01:50:16,519
Speaker 2: Well, it depends where you live, it depends what country

2351
01:50:16,520 --> 01:50:18,160
Speaker 2: you're from, or it depends if you've talked to Luke

2352
01:50:18,200 --> 01:50:20,479
Speaker 2: Thomas's wife ahead of time. Luke, I gotta ask you

2353
01:50:20,520 --> 01:50:22,559
Speaker 2: this first of all, how do you feel about this

2354
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:26,080
Speaker 2: bundle of joy and the Sigull family, Siegle family. I

2355
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,920
Speaker 2: think it's Seagull naming their child Luke Thomas.

2356
01:50:30,200 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, I mean it's a great name, is it not.

2357
01:50:32,160 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, trust a man with two first names.

2358
01:50:35,400 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 1: That is true, that is true. That can hurt you,

2359
01:50:37,360 --> 01:50:41,439
Speaker 1: That can definitely hurt you. But look, the baby looks handsome,

2360
01:50:41,600 --> 01:50:45,280
Speaker 1: he looks healthy. He's chilling in the well, not the incubator,

2361
01:50:45,320 --> 01:50:48,599
Speaker 1: but whatever this thing is called. And I wish them

2362
01:50:48,640 --> 01:50:52,160
Speaker 1: nothing but a joy after joy after joy in rear,

2363
01:50:52,960 --> 01:50:54,120
Speaker 1: wonderfully named child.

2364
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:57,000
Speaker 2: What do you make of his request that he would

2365
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,840
Speaker 2: mail to us the underwear, the MK underwear that his

2366
01:51:00,880 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 2: brother in law bought for him. Yeah, and we would

2367
01:51:03,600 --> 01:51:04,920
Speaker 2: sign it and send it back.

2368
01:51:04,880 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 1: Luke, would you I'm not I'm not doing that, yeah?

2369
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 2: Or would we risk the fact that, like it was already.

2370
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,880
Speaker 1: Worn and yeah, there's gonna be shit stains in it?

2371
01:51:13,040 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 2: And would you sign his shit stain?

2372
01:51:15,760 --> 01:51:17,680
Speaker 1: I would not sign your ship stain. Be see, I'm

2373
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:20,400
Speaker 1: not gonna shign your shit stain or anybody else's skid marks.

2374
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:21,000
Speaker 1: You understand that.

2375
01:51:21,120 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 2: Okay, let's keep it going. Here. We got another male.

2376
01:51:23,400 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 2: His name is LAZYBD, A real one. Here, he says,

2377
01:51:26,080 --> 01:51:29,120
Speaker 2: kicking off twenty twenty five with a minimal effort meme

2378
01:51:29,200 --> 01:51:31,720
Speaker 2: because I was robbed of twenty twenty four Donk of

2379
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 2: the Year hashtag stopped the steal. I recently saw Reggie

2380
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:40,559
Speaker 2: Jackson bars are back, and I was pleasantly surprised by

2381
01:51:40,600 --> 01:51:44,560
Speaker 2: the oh he means the candy bar. Oh shit, pleasantly

2382
01:51:44,600 --> 01:51:48,160
Speaker 2: surprised by the newly designed packaging quote. Now with more

01:51:53,600 --> 01:51:56,720
Speaker 2: yours truly the laziest bed. So Lazy Bed took the

2386
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:01,200

Speaker 1: That's sick. That's awesome.

2391
01:52:14,400 --> 01:52:16,439
Speaker 2: Reggie would not appreciate that because he doesn't have love

2392
01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 2: for anybody but himself and me, Luke in the rest

2393
01:52:18,840 --> 01:52:19,400

2452
01:55:11,640 --> 01:55:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the exact same thing I said ahead

2453
01:55:13,680 --> 01:55:16,520
Speaker 1: of the Lions game. I respected the Lions. I thought

2454
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:19,400
Speaker 1: top to bottom they were a better team. I respect Philly.

2455
01:55:19,440 --> 01:55:22,040
Speaker 1: I think top to bottom they're a better team. All

2456
01:55:22,040 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 1: I can say is Jaden Daniels makes miracles happens. He

2457
01:55:25,160 --> 01:55:29,960
Speaker 1: is the lifeblood of this team, and they're playing the

2458
01:55:29,960 --> 01:55:32,840
Speaker 1: best football that they've played all season. It's the most

2459
01:55:33,280 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 1: I said this too, Dude. Obviously, I don't want them

2460
01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:37,160
Speaker 1: to get blown out on Sunday. That would be terrible.

2461
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,280
Speaker 1: But dude, even if they lose or whatever, this is

2462
01:55:40,400 --> 01:55:43,760
Speaker 1: already the best season that we've experienced in this city

2463
01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,080
Speaker 1: since I was ten years old. I'm already over the moon.

2464
01:55:47,120 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 1: I'm already thrilled, I'm already happy. This is so much

2465
01:55:51,840 --> 01:55:55,240
Speaker 1: better than I ever thought possible. So do I want

2466
01:55:55,280 --> 01:55:56,680
Speaker 1: him to go to the super Bowl, of course, But

2467
01:55:56,720 --> 01:55:59,600
Speaker 1: I can't even fathom that. I can't I can't even

2468
01:55:59,600 --> 01:56:02,640
Speaker 1: wrap my head around it because it's been three decades

2469
01:56:02,720 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 1: plus of just misery. Basically, don't forget.

2470
01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:07,600
Speaker 2: That one fun year when Schottenheimer was the coach and

2471
01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:10,280
Speaker 2: they underachieved, but they had Dion Jeff George and.

2472
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:12,680
Speaker 1: They they didn't they start like they started like oh

2473
01:56:12,760 --> 01:56:16,080
Speaker 1: and five or like oh and six and then but

2474
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:18,600
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be like a listen And also

2475
01:56:18,720 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 1: RG three season was a good season. Two, Like, there's

2476
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:22,320
Speaker 1: been some good seasons, but.

2477
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:24,480
Speaker 2: Jason Campbell carrying bad team.

2478
01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:26,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I remember. I remember when Jason Campbell got cut.

2479
01:56:26,920 --> 01:56:29,120
Speaker 1: He went to a local radio station and did an interview,

2480
01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:30,760
Speaker 1: Who's like, yeah, I'm a starter in this league. And

2481
01:56:30,760 --> 01:56:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm like, Jason, I love you. I don't think you

2482
01:56:33,560 --> 01:56:37,200
Speaker 1: are bud but and you know, but I mean having

2483
01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 1: to live through Rex Grossman and John Beck and Albert

2484
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:49,000
Speaker 1: Haynesworth and all of these fucking just messes over one season,

2485

Speaker 2: This one for Sean Taylor.

2488
01:56:58,080 --> 01:57:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, which would we know? Not Dan Snyder's fault, but

2489
01:57:00,320 --> 01:57:03,839
Speaker 1: like there's another thing. Sean Taylor gets killed, they couldn't

2490
01:57:03,880 --> 01:57:07,240
Speaker 1: recover at the safety position for twenty fucking years. Yeah,

Speaker 1: been misery. Misery here.

2493
01:57:11,800 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 2: Now, let me ask you this. If Jayden Daniels gets

2494
01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 2: Joe th Eisman on the first play of the game

2495

2497
01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:26,520
