9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Morning Combat. Hello everyone, my name is Luke Thomas. Let's

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: bang the gentleman on the other side of the screen.

11
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: He is vaccinated, not housebroken, but a wonderful man just

12
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: the same. It's Brian Campbell. Hi, Brian, how are you? Hy?

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Hi? Luke, thank you, thank you for that rousing introduction

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: right there. Yes, I have taken one half of the

15
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 3: recommended amount of Pfizer inside my my blood system at

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 3: this moment, Luke, So, I slept a lot. It was

17
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 3: a little little crank, a little cranky and uh nauseous,

18
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: but we got through it. Luke so, uh COVID don't

19
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 3: be knocking on my door anymore. All right?

20
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: You see the massive question, how come when we go

21
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: on the road and we drink and we eat poorly,

22
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: we come back feeling exhausted. And then when we go

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: on the road and we don't drink at all and

24
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: we get more sleep, we also come back raggedy. It

25
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: makes no difference how we come back. I don't understand that.

26
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I hear you. It makes no difference. Luke, Just

27
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: keep coming, all right.

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:38,639
Speaker 1: Just keep on coming.

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 3: So we're trying to do here, I mean, you know

30
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: that is our mission statement, right.

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 1: Brian Woody what's Woody's last name? The guy who's bit

32
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: You stole this from from Around the Horn.

33
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 3: Yes, it's a Woody page from Boody page is from

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: Brian wood Page Campbell.

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: Yes, uh, Brian. We got a lot to get to today.

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: We did do a post fight show last week for

37
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 1: the first fight for belat Or on showtime belt Or

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: two fifty five. You can go check that out. But

39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 1: we are going to get to some of that still

40
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: today a little bit. But of course, we got a

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: lot of UFC news to get to. We got some

42
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: boxing retirements. We have to get to your questions, have

43
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 1: you seen this shit? We have a lot to get to. BC.

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: You could argue.

45
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: That that belat Or post show Friday was a rousing success.

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 3: In fact, The word on the street is people loving

47
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 3: the more serious tone they got out of Late Night

48
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 3: BC right there. So I don't know, Luke, you know, maybe.

49
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,839
Speaker 1: Maybe I've been right about what you should be doing

50
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: this whole time. Yes, it's funny, Maybe.

51
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 3: I should drop drop the whole bit where you know,

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 3: you try to bring fun and sunshine to people's days

53
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 3: and just hit them with you know, aggressively boring MMA takes.

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 3: So let's see what we got.

55
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: You know, that's right, Well, if we are capable of

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 1: nothing if not aggressively boring MMA takes. But hopefully the

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,760

70
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: I never understand the pricing structures or anything. Four nine

71
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: What can it just be five? Just make it five.

72
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,520

73
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: Luke, you know, I guess. I guess I must be

74
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: market research around this kind of thing. In any case,

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: five bucks four nine doesn't matter. Still a deal.

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, Luke, you didn't you didn't recommend

77
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 3: the people go check out our latest creation from the

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 3: only night that we did drink, I didn't.

79
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: I did not drink. Yes, there was room service diaries.

80
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 3: Well, could I see you at dinner? You did raise

81
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: the glasses something at dinner?

82
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Loop, That's right, Yes, I had I think maybe three

83
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: old fashions, But that was it. I mean, I didn't

84
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: get you.

85
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 3: You lying old bitch. Okay, I was there?

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, But that night but that night we recorded this, Oh,

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I guess I had some. Yeah, That's why I was

88
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: so tired. But any case, I didn't get drunk one time,

89
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: and I still took all my Nqualla Milton, what always?

90
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: What are we for getting here? BC? Anything else?

91
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 3: To keep still view that that that inside look at

92
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 3: the future of our of our unemployment. That really it's

93
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 3: where it was going. But a nice little rousing success

94
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 3: just the same. Luckily, Luke, you edited out all of

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 3: your bad jokes and left me hanging with the with

96
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 3: the Chindler's list thing. That's great. Thanks, thank you, thank

97
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 3: you very much. Yeah.

98
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 1: For folks who don't understand how BC works, this is

99
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 1: a bit he does called lying. So we wanted to

100
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: take it out and we didn't, And then we showed

101
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: it to him and he actually demanded that we leave

102
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: it in. And we showed it to other members of

103
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 1: the crew man and they also thought it was a

104
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: good idea to leave in. So when BC comes on

105
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: the show and says things like this, I want you

106
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: all to know and follow me here he's lying.

107
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you did edit it out a few

108
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: dark areas, all all pointing towards you.

109
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: Yes, I did edit out a few dark areas for me,

110
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: But you know, I'm also the one who filmed it

111
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: and hauled the camera equipment. So to the victor goes

112
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: the spoils. If you would like to edit it next time,

113
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 1: you certainly may.

114
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,840
Speaker 3: When that trap you said ends in deployment for me, Luke,

115
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: I hope hopefully you get blessed with a Canadian thank you,

116
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 3: thank you.

117
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, let's get to it topic number one

118
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 1: here on the show. It was the only thing we

119
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: did not get to last week by virtue of the

120
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: timing and everything. So let's get to it now. The

121
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: Ultimate Fighter is back. And it's not just that The

122
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 1: Ultimate Fighter is back, because you kind of knew that,

123
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: but now we have coaches. We have Brian Ortega and

124
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: we have Alexander Volkanovsky. So for topic number one, we

125
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: know who the coaches are for the next season of

126
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: The Ultimate Fighter. There you can see, Oh, you know what,

127
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: I jumped the ship. That's why it took so long

128
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: because I watched it. We're still going to start here, BC,

129
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: because fuck it, it's too late to back up now,

130
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 1: all right, you.

131
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 3: Can't blame this on Jay. This is no I.

132
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: Can't you know what it was. I had the old

133
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: rundown in front of me, not the updated one. So

134
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: that's on me. I'll take the l There you go

135
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: dead wrong. Sorry, Corey, I fucked that up. Here we go.

136
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 1: We're already committed o BC. So let's get to it.

137
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: In fact, we did not get to it last week.

138
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: Your reaction to Volkanovski and or Tega A being the

139
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: next coaches for The Ultimate Fighter, and then b what

140
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: this does to the Fight, which is pushing back anywhere

141
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: between five to six maybe more months.

142
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 3: I feel like this was the wrong move for UFC,

143
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: and I'm not here to necessarily, you know, criticize, because

144
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 3: I don't hold Tough Dear to my heart an as

145
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 3: many as much these days as anybody else, you know

146
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 3: what I mean. We all have our favorite memories in

147
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 3: the past, but no one's like itching for this series

148
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 3: to come back, per se. So to me, this fields

149
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: like a safe, mild choice. In fact, I don't necessarily

150
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 3: understand the choice of coaches in this case. Unless your

151
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 3: sole focus was to try to establish Brian Orteguez the

152
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: next big star, I think it would be a no brainer, Luke.

153
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: If we're going down the road, and I know there's

154
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 3: still negotiations to stuff that needs to happen, but if

155
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: we are on our way to Francis and Ghanu John

156
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 3: Jones and you want that thing to frick and bang,

157
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 3: the best possible promotional vehicle in this space would be

158
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 3: the return of tough through the ESPN machine with those

159
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 3: two heavyweights as coaches. That's just me talking, Luke. You know,

160
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 3: I'm not hired as a promoter or marketer of any

161
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: form really beyond my own shitty humor and maybe this sweatshirt,

162
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 3: which could be on sale in the future. We're not

163
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 3: really sure about that yet. So beyond that, Luke, I

164
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 3: just don't I don't get this move, you know, I mean,

165
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: it doesn't suck. I'd watch it, you know, I'd give

166
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 3: it a try, but this ain't sexy.

167
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Luke.

168
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: You wanting ghanu to Jones to go to two million

169
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: pay per view buys? Do you care about that anymore?

170
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: You have see it? Does?

171
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 3: I mean you have to pay John more if it does,

172
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: because that's the right vehicle for this.

173
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 1: Luke. I don't know what the right answer is, other

174
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: than I wish the Ultimate Fighter wasn't really here. I mean,

175
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: the problem is complicated because in this pandemic regional Mma

176
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: is not doing what it's supposed to be doing. It's

177
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: not producing the amount of talent that it otherwise could.

178
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: It's it's got back together a little bit, and maybe

179
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 1: that will improve substantially here in the summer and then

180
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 1: the fall or in the winter for twenty twenty one,

181
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: I certainly hope, but as it stands in terms of

182
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: what it has been, it has not been a lot.

183
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: And so you pull back in this machine, the Ultimate Fighter,

184
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,959
Speaker 1: where you can pluck fighters maybe in even two different

185
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 1: weight classes, depending how you want to structure it, and

186
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: you can pull them off the regional scene. You can

187
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: have them on the show, you can fight, you can

188
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: give contracts whatever you want to or not. It sort

189
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: of serves a function that they didn't necessarily need when

190
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: they just had the Contender series and a normally functioning

191
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: regional MMA apparatus. But that's just not the situation that

192
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: they have. So I understand why they brought it back,

193
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: but it's just so inconvenient. Look, it doesn't really impact

194
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: me in like any other way because I'm not going

195
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: to watch the show. I'd watched the fights probably, but

196
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: I would not really watch the show if it's on

197
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: ESPN Plus. But it's not hurting anybody. It's not like

198
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: there no one's forcing me to watch it. It's fine.

199
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: You want to watch it, watch it if you don't, don't.

200
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: The part where it gets kind of interesting is where

201
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 1: you take the coaches and then you delay them, And

202
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 1: to your point, it's like, dude, there are so many

203
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: other ways for this thing to go sometimes, which I

204
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 1: know it's probably not easy. They wanted a welterweight series

205
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: of coaches for whatever reason that didn't work not only knows,

206
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: and they ended up with this one because of the

207
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: COVID delay. So I appreciate how nimble the UFC can

208
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: be with these things. I understand why they're bringing tough back,

209
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 1: but it just feels like there are ways in which

210
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: they could execute on some of their business strategies in

211
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: conjunction with their goals BC without having it be this difficult.

212
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,439
Speaker 1: To your point, Francis and Jones, is such an easier

213
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 1: call here.

214
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 3: Well, this is gonna delay a division's title picture. Unfortunately

215
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: that doesn't need to. I mean, I want to find

216
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: out if Max Holloway really is still the best feather

217
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 3: way in the world. I saw him beat Volkanowski in

218
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 3: their second fight, but it didn't go as way. He's

219
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,959
Speaker 3: only looked insanely great since then. Look, I got to

220
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 3: see this English speaking z of beat proof to everyone

221
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 3: that he is the future champion in this division. That

222
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,719
Speaker 3: I once read written on tattoo on the back of

223
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,719
Speaker 3: Kevin Lee's head as a foreshadowing prophetic message. Luke, I'm

224
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 3: telling you those are my two guys for the future.

225
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 3: But you get what I'm saying here. I don't want

226
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 3: to see this picture tied up. And can you give

227
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,199
Speaker 3: me any other reason beyond the I don't know if

228
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 3: this negotiation period with John will actually happen. Excuse for that,

229
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 3: for the reason for heavyweights not to be here in.

230
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: The spot that they they don't they don't want to. Yeah,

231
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 1: they don't want to change their business in a way

232
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: to accommodate them. That's That's sort of where we just

233
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 1: keep coming back to. It's where it's the you know, listen,

234
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: the certain ways in which the industry is organized make

235
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 1: a lot of consumer demand possible. But because one of

236
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: the downsides, honestly, of having that much consumer demand met

237
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,960
Speaker 1: is that when they don't meet sometimes they can take

238
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: weird positions on why they're not meeting it. But because

239
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 1: everything else is so great, there's just no overall pushback.

240
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: It's not a decline in the product, it's just a

241
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: certain decline in potential opportunities. While the rest of the

242
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: product thrives. So you know, we're sitting here and bitching

243
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: about it. I mean, I guess we're still gonna get

244
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: the fight. Maybe there'll be some good fights on the show.

245
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: It's just Jesus, we almost had this fight at UFC

246
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: two sixty. They got COVID that sucked. In fact, Volkanofsky

247
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: said it was really bad. And now we're not gonna

248
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: get in to what December. It's like, oh God, Like

249
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: what an impediment to the normal functioning and operation of

250
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: a business.

251
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: This feels like a haphazard decision in an area where

252
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: UFC rarely ever misses, you know, if at all. So

253
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: is this more centered upon Ortega's star future and potential?

254
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: Do they look at him when they look at the

255
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 3: group of you know, we're always like, who's going to

256
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 3: be the next Connor? It's been this, you know, casual

257
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: pay per view you know debate thing. Anytime a big

258
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: star hits a mountain top and then slides a little bit,

259
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: you're like, who's the next pay per view star? Remember,

260
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 3: for a while we thought, oh, you know, really could

261
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,280
Speaker 3: be Cody Garbrandt. Then he suffered some losses, and now

262
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 3: we're like, well it really could be out of Sonia.

263
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 3: But you know, he did just have a minor hiccup

264
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 3: there at light heavyweight. So do you think they look

265
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 3: at Ortega as a potential legitimate pay per view headliner

266
00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: And that's why this decision was made because they don't

267
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: do anything haphazardly, Luke.

268
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to think there might be something at

269
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: play with also Volkanovsky, where he's a very good champion.

270
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: I suspect he'll beat Ortega again. Who knows. I'm just saying, dude.

271
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: Dude, you don't know that. Okay, don't don't.

272
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: See k I don't know that. That's why I say

273
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: I suspect. I didn't say he will. It's a big difference,

274
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: that's my hunch anyway, And they're probably dealing with They're

275
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: at least dealing with the scenario BC where they have

276
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: to recognize there is a possible future where this guy

277
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: from Australia is going to be in this role as

278
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: champion for a considerable amount of time, and so to

279
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:52,959
Speaker 1: what extent do you want to back him? Sometimes in

280
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: the Ultimate Fighter, they use it to capture a huge

281
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,960
Speaker 1: audience in a way where they don't need to build

282
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: someone up, but they if they put him in that role,

283
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: it'll garner a lot of attention, like a Kimbo slice.

284
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:05,199
Speaker 1: He didn't need to be in the Ultimate Fighter, but

285
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: they put him there, and in a situations where like

286
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 1: somebody needs a boost that the Ultimate Fighter has to

287
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: raise their stock, whatever possible that is. I tend to

288
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: think Volkanovsky might fall into that, not or Tega, although

289
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: this rivalry in selling this probably would be good down

290
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 1: the line for him and for his future. I think

291
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: they're probably trying to do a little bit of that.

292
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: They've never really had that Mexican American fan base on Lockdown.

293
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: Maybe they see or Tega as that guy who went

294
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 3: away came back. He only improved. He's got star power

295
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: they haven't tapped into yet. You know, he's got the

296
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: model looks. He's was real weird in that interview with

297
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 3: me a couple weeks ago on me maybe he's the

298
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: dude now, Luke. Okay, we'll find out when that fight.

299
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: So you don't think they're thinking about Volkanovsky like they're like, uh,

300
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: he might be championed, Like with the Kamaru. It's like

301
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: you look at Kamoru w and you're like, well, you

302
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,679
Speaker 1: never know, fighter for fight. You get knocked out any moment.

303
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 1: But you also would be foolish as a promoter to

304
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: not look at this and say he might be here

305
00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: doing this for a while.

306
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 3: Nah. Now, Luke, they saw Max beat him the second time.

307
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 3: The UFC loves Max. And on top of that, Luke,

308
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,960
Speaker 3: it's uh, you got a lot of balls refusing to

309
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: do any form of predictions. But a city cockboxing guy

310
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: jumps in here. You're like, yeah, I mean he's probably

311
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 3: gonna beat or taka. I mean that's a year. You

312
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: got a lot of balls trying to slip that past

313
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 3: not a prediction or my own Reddit page to uh,

314
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: to decode you to the to the public.

315
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: I don't know why this is hard for you. This

316
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: is not a prediction. So it's like an inclination, is

317
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: not me making a declaration. You understand that, right.

318
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 3: You know, I choose to understand what I understand.

319
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: Luke.

320
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 3: Okay, you call it ignorance, all right, I call it decipherance.

321
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: Okay, decipherance, Yes, that is what it is, a great

322
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: name of a band. Decipherance. All right. Let's go now

323
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: back in time where we're supposed to do topic number

324
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: one in the first position, which I amazingly got that wrong.

325
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: But let's try it again one more time. All right.

326
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: So reports are out that Dustin Poirier BC has in

327
00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 1: fact signed the paperwork to fight one Connor McGregor a

328
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 1: third time. On top of that, while we don't have

329
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 1: any evidence that or I think any reports that McGregor

330
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: has signed the deal, what we do have is him

331
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 1: saying that our reports rather that he has agreed in principle.

332
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: ESPN reporting that he has agreed in principle to now

333
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 1: take this challenge on July tenth is when they're targeting.

334
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: All right, let's sort of circle back to this contest

335
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 1: now if we can hearing this news, do you have

336
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: any different reaction? What are you thinking about as we

337
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: inch closer to that pretty monumental trilogy?

338
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: You know, it's sort of inspired. I saw, you know,

339
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: brett O Komodo ESPN, a guy who we like, just

340
00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 3: put out one of those columns that asked a very

341
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 3: interesting question, you know, and it spurred my thinking of

342
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 3: what's really at stake for both guys. It's something I

343
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 3: didn't necessarily focus on because the whole build toy this

344
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 3: fight happening was more of a debate of whether you know,

345
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: Poria should already be the champion, should McGregor be back

346
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: in the spot, why are we doing this one as

347
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: a non title all that, but in terms of what

348
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,440
Speaker 3: it acts actually means, I mean, the angle Brett took

349
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,320
Speaker 3: was that, you know, in some ways, this is McGregor's

350
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: last chance to save himself and I you know, on

351
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: the on the super elite path that he had been

352
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 3: on for a long time, And look, I kind of

353
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 3: want to sit in that for a second, to be honest.

354
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 3: I wrote that same column in twenty sixteen after Connor

355
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 3: was upset by Nate Diaz sort of saying, look, he's

356
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: got one way to fix this problem completely, and that's

357
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: run it back same way, class, same guy and beat

358
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,640
Speaker 3: him and sort of doubled down on his future at

359
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 3: that point. You know, was he going to break loose

360
00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 3: and be this truly global superstar, which he obviously became,

361
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 3: And you know he kind of did exactly that, but

362
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 3: there were different stakes for Connor then. Now we've seen

363
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 3: him lose a few times. Now, you know he's sort

364
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 3: of getting this opportunity right now that you know, no

365
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: one's calling for this trilogy, right like, we don't We're

366
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: not gonna hate on this fight. We love this fight

367
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 3: in theory, like in reality, right, it's sort of like,

368
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: you know, look, she's not Latina, but you know you

369
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 3: still like pizza, bro right, you know you still like

370
00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 3: to eat at the end of the day.

371
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Right.

372
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: I mean, we love this fight, Luke, make no mistake

373
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: about it. This fight fucking bangs, Okay, but no one

374
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 3: asked for it. Nobody really needs it. So, Luke, do

375
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 3: you really feel that Connor's almost in that same thing

376
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 3: that Brett's trying to outline that if he loses here,

377
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 3: it is it's what celebrity cash in the rest of

378
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 3: the way. I mean, is this the last chance at

379
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 3: truce elite superiority, the guy he was in twenty sixteen

380
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 3: that never came back. Is this the last chance to

381
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 3: produce him?

382
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,440
Speaker 1: Luke? I mean, I haven't read the column, so I'm

383
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,359
Speaker 1: only reacting to your rescue.

384
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 3: I didn't really read it either, Okay, I love you, Brett.

385
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: I just skimmed it, Okay, I'm just taking themes, all.

386
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Right, Luke, No, no, no, But I was thinking about this

387
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: because years ago I wrote a column for Shirt Dog.

388
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: I think it was called like the Kimbo Slice bubble

389
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,199
Speaker 1: or something like that. And I had argued it was

390
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: either before the pet or Wolls was to be the

391
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 1: Shamrock fight where it was like right after the Petrozelli fight.

392
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: Whichever way it was that, you know, the interesting part

393
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: about promoting Kimbo was that it was done on this

394
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 1: illusion and this is before I'd come around to him,

395
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: that it was done on this illusion that this guy

396
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: is a lot better than he is. Well, what happens

397
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: when he loses? Folks will know the jig is up.

398
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: And the reality was that was never really Kimbo's appeal. Yeah,

399
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: there was a little bit how good is he? Okay,

400
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: and then once you realized he wasn't that good, it

401
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: never became about hey, how good is Kimbo Slice. It

402
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,399
Speaker 1: just became about let's cheer for Kimbo Slice. We like

403
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: Kimbo Slice. Kimbo Slice is a likable person for all

404
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,159
Speaker 1: these different demos. And so yes, they wanted it was

405
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: I want to be clear about something, Winning more than

406
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 1: losing was pretty important, and winning in big moments still

407
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: carried significant value. It's not that if Connor McGregor lost

408
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: there wouldn't be significant drop off at interest or blowback

409
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: or some kind of larger reconding BC. But here's what

410
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,160
Speaker 1: you got to remember about some of these folks, Dude,

411
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,919
Speaker 1: Connor McGregor is now a celebrity to people and an

412
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,199
Speaker 1: adored figure, whether you like it or not, for reasons

413
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 1: that just go far beyond fighting. At this point, it

414
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,440
Speaker 1: would potentially, yes, I think take him off the super

415
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: elite track. I think I do think it's gonna be

416
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 1: said for that. But Connor is gonna remain a popular figure.

417
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: I won't say as long as he wants to, but

418
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 1: much longer than his losses will drag him down.

419
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,159
Speaker 3: So you're saying it may not necessarily be as dark

420
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: as post bite Mike Tyson's run, where it was just

421
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 3: like fiasco Carnival. Come see the old name, dance around

422
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: and maybe bite somebody. But what you're also saying is,

423
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,479
Speaker 3: you know, you can't be a virgin over again, Like

424
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,440
Speaker 3: that guy's not coming back anyway and win or lose

425
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 3: from now on. He's kind of the same guy. We've

426
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,439
Speaker 3: seen him lose already a few times. He's kind of

427
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: who he is.

428
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess there's some sadness in that, Luke.

429
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 3: I don't need to romanticize the McGregor era, but I

430
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 3: like to believe that he can keep it alive with

431
00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 3: a win on Saturday and get back into a title

432
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: picture that he doesn't necessarily deserve to be in. So

433
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 3: I mean, there is huge stakes in this regard. Maybe

434
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: I just don't want to believe that it's really over Luke.

435
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 3: Maybe that's maybe that's what this is all about.

436
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: It it may not be, it may not be. We don't

437
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: have a definitive answer to this, but I do feel like,

438
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to just the way to understand

439
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: is you have to just have an appreciation for the seriousness.

440
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: But some of the limits of a loss in MMA,

441
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: especially for an A list talent, The loss does make

442
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: matchmaking for him harder BC, because if he's at the

443
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: top of the division, you can just go any number

444
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 1: of ways, and because he's popular, he'll have a lot

445
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: of flexibility relative to somebody else. But it does narrow

446
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: some of those choices a little bit. I mean, it

447
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 1: would reduce potentially some of the upside of what he

448
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 1: could do on pay per view. I mean, there are

449
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: some consequences to it, but the idea that like and

450
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 1: again I'm not saying Brett argue this, But I'm just

451
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: saying the idea that if anyone believes a loss to

452
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,480
Speaker 1: Poitier here would just you know, pull the plug out

453
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,560
Speaker 1: of not the plug, but the stopper at the end

454
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,439
Speaker 1: of the bathtub and all the water drains. It doesn't

455
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 1: work like that.

456
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, bru don't throw the baby out with the damn

457
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 3: betht water. Ah, yeah, Brett, if that's what you said

458
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: in that calm, I didn't read it. But no, Luke,

459
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 3: do you think you know, I don't know. There's there's

460
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 3: a lot, Maybe there's a lot more interesting.

461
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:12,959
Speaker 1: Let me let me spin it back to you, bec

462
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: because you said something i'll call my interest. You said

463
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,240
Speaker 1: it was sad. You said it was sad about McGregor

464
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: that like, it could very well be that that amazing

465
00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 1: thing he did was just a moment in time and

466
00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: it's over. Why is that sad? Isn't that just the

467
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: way life works?

468
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,959
Speaker 3: It is And it's also the the the you know,

469
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 3: the the vicious cycle, the food uh, the food chain

470
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 3: of MMA, no doubt about that. I don't say sad

471
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: from the standpoint Luke of being a McGregor super fan

472
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: or wanting and believing like a child was crossing their

473
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 3: fingers that he's gonna come back and win a championship.

474
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,719
Speaker 3: Like that doesn't really matter to me. It's more for

475
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:51,440
Speaker 3: having been part of something that that was a special, historic,

476
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 3: insane era in this sports history, and having been there

477
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 3: at a very close level, you know, front row media, backstage,

478
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 3: gold micro phones, that type of thing. Having really been

479
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 3: you know, writing opinion pieces this whole way, and feeling

480
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 3: like I've sort of lived this fun era.

481
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 4: The idea that it could be potentially over from the.

482
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 3: Energy and the fun that it brought because of one guy,

483
00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 3: and having enjoyed, you know, looking at an artist right,

484
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 3: having enjoyed the canvas that McGregor has largely painted with

485
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: fun and interest, the idea that we could end the idea,

486
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 3: not that that could be gone. In some selfish ways,

487
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 3: said no more for the whole idea, Luke, of what's

488
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 3: the tail end going to look like? I mean, very

489
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:34,919
Speaker 3: few combat athletes die with dignity, so to speak, in

490
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 3: terms of the end of their career. You know, more

491
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 3: often than not, we'll see a great one like Chuck

492
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: Ladell need to be dragged out or we'll see you know,

493
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 3: I mean, look one thing Anderson Silva has been able

494
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 3: to avoid Luke is is looking too sad, right. I mean,

495
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 3: he's had some injuries, he's had a lot of losses

496
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: in a row, but he's never looked truly sad because

497
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 3: he's always been able to raise his game to a

498
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 3: certain level of competence that you're sort of like, Okay,

499
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: all right, is the end is the McGregor end, whether

500
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 3: that's next year or whether that's five, six, seven years

501
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: from now, is that gonna look really sad to you?

502
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 3: What do you do? You do you think he's one

503
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 3: of those guys that they're gonna have to drag out

504
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 3: after multiple knockouts.

505
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:16,439
Speaker 1: I mean really depends how long he goes. I mean

506
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: even with Tyron Woodley, you're like, oh, he lost to

507
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: someone who had never contended for a title with Vicenti Luk,

508
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: but like, Luk is still really good. What I don't

509
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: want to see is I want to see McGregor lose

510
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 1: to a guy he like obviously would have dusted in

511
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 1: his prime, you know what I mean, Like you lose

512
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: to Poarier, Okay, Partier's he's real good. Like that's fine,

513
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,479
Speaker 1: you know, it's no big deal. Is he gonna let

514
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 1: it again, and he might go there. He might go

515
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: out the I want to be clear before people get

516
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: honest about it. He might go out there and viciously

517
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 1: ko Parier in the third fight. I'm just pointing if

518
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: to what extent is he going to manage decline? I

519
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: don't know.

520
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like, if they stick him with Mickey gall is

521
00:23:57,680 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 3: a get well fight and he gets knocked out, we're

522
00:23:59,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: in bad terror.

523
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: Sorry, yes, yes, if he gets that far, if maybe

524
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: you do just open up the little But what's it

525
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: called the drain stopper?

526
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 3: Jesus Christ, Mike Perry is dancing on his grave and

527
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 3: Ocean is just rocking out as the secondary, the second chief,

528
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: second support in the corner. Uh, that's gonna be a

529
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 3: sad moment from McGregor house, Luke. But uh, yeah, so

530
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,520
Speaker 3: we identified what's at stake for Connor, are we not

531
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: hitting at all? What's at stake for Poorier beyond the

532
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 3: big subhead that we did hit. When this fight was

533
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 3: talked about about the idea of him essentially turning down

534
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 3: a chance at the title in order to cash in

535
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,479
Speaker 3: on the fame, history and money at stake in this one,

536
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:39,000
Speaker 3: Luke what's really truly in Dustin's mind right now, in

537
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 3: your eyes.

538
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: I think he just realizes that the you can't, you can't.

539
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: You know, it's good that they're ringing doorbells here in

540
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,199
Speaker 1: my house and letting the dog's bark. And I want

541
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: to tell you that I really, really, really like it

542
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,719
Speaker 1: when my family does that. I just tend to think,

543
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: if you're or Dustin Poirier, how do you look at

544
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: a situation and go, yeah, we'll turn down this Connor

545
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 1: McGregor fight again. I don't think it's an either or.

546
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: I don't think they thought of it like, oh, there's

547
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: nothing to this situation with the belt. I don't need

548
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: the belt. I think they wanted the belt. I think

549
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 1: they wanted the belt in that first fight. I think

550
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,439
Speaker 1: they wanted the belt in the second fight. They just

551
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 1: couldn't get to a position where that was on the line,

552
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:24,879
Speaker 1: and so they had to make a choice. Okay, you

553
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: can go and fight for the belt against whoever was

554
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 1: Chandler or whatever, or you can fight McGregor again in

555
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: a trilogy. I think he just felt like when stories

556
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: are written about guys, they're gonna write about the guy

557
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,199
Speaker 1: who beat Connor McGregor twice in a trilogy, even if

558
00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: there was no title, versus beating Michael Chandler or Charles

559
00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Lavera to get the title. That's debatable, but I think

560
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 1: that was probably what was going through his mind.

561
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:48,399
Speaker 3: Well, let me ask you this will decide if this

562
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: was the right choice. If paw we ain't never fought

563
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 3: again after today, let's say just retired. What history remember

564
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 3: as his biggest win, the interim title win over matt Or,

565
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 3: the knockout of Connor McGregor and their second Connor Connor.

566
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 3: Then that means, Luke, that that in a lot of ways,

567
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,920
Speaker 3: this is almost like the biggest fight of of Dustin's

568
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: career twice in a row. Like, so he made the

569
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:13,680
Speaker 3: right choice then, you know, in a lot of ways.

570
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I can listen. Can you understand it? Yeah,

571
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 1: you can understand it. I can understand why someone would

572
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: go a different direction too. But it's hardly like mystifying

573
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 1: that Poirier would find a third fight with McGregor advantageous

574
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: to his career.

575
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 3: You know, would he would he face the winner of

576
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 3: Chandler olivera Poorier, no question?

577
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 1: I mean, if it's not them, who would it be

578
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 1: all right, you know what I mean, Like, is it

579
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: Dustin or sorry, is it Nate? Nate's fighting at one

580
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: seventy So, I mean that's funny. You know, would Poarier

581
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: take that Diaz fight that Alpha Connor win, That'd be

582
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: kind of funny if you did. You know, I wonder

583
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: about that, but I doubt it. I doubt it. Okay,

584
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: let's let's let's uh go back a little bit. BC.

585
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 1: Let's go to topic number three. Here, we talked a

586
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: lot about the first Bellator show on Showtime. This's Bellator

587
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 1: two fifty five. The winner of the main event, Patricio Pittpoll. So.

588
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: Now Belatore has a very interesting situation that they're currently in.

589
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: They have the best fighter in their history taking on

590
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: this upstart, undefeated phenom who has had his entire career

591
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: in that organization. BC. If they want, here's what I

592
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: think a central challenge Belatore has. Bellatore has to convince

593
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: the average UFC fan that they are also worth watching them.

594
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: As I said, average UFC fan, because UFC puts out

595
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: forty plus events a year, not counting contender series. They've

596
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: got all their stuff online. You can go peruse it

597
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: on Fight Pass or ESPN Plus or whatever.

598
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:53,719
Speaker 3: Like.

599
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: If you're a UFC fan, a lot of your MMA

600
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 1: needs are met this As a fan this experience, it

601
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: wasn't even possible to BC a UFC one hundred in

602
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 1: July of two thousand and nine. You couldn't even do

603
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: this kind of a thing that you can do now.

604
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,199
Speaker 1: So Beltor has a real task about how do we

605
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 1: position our offerings in a way to get those kinds

606
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: of fans to pay attention. How do you sell aj

607
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: McKee versus Pitbull.

608
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:26,639
Speaker 3: There's one way, unabashedly as the matchup that will determine

609
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: the best one hundred and forty five pound fighter in

610
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 3: the world. And even if you demonstrably disagree with that,

611
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 3: or even if you're Scott Coker and you don't necessarily

612
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: believe that. I mean, look, it's not like the UFC

613
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 3: is having a down run at featherweight at the moment

614
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 3: we just talked about that. In fact, it's overloaded.

615
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 4: It's one of the best divisions in the sport.

616
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 3: But I think you have that opportunity to make that

617
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: kind of argument if just even from a marketing standpoint,

618
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 3: it's not insanely far off at worst, I mean, look,

619
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,600
Speaker 3: Pitbull is legitimately one of the five best pump up

620
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 3: pound fighters in the world right now. And McKee with

621
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 3: the potential he's shown from the quick, you know, sensational

622
00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: victories to the fact that you know he's second generation,

623
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: all this great stuff we say about him, he's already

624
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,680
Speaker 3: setting so many records. If he beats Pitbull here, I mean,

625
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 3: you know, that's a leap right there, That is a

626
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 3: monster leap. So the fact that these two will probably

627
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 3: meet again for the lightweight championship, if you listen to

628
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: their interviews closely, I think you really sell just how

629
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: talented these guys are and how much this is a

630
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 3: pound for pound type level fight, and the royalty around

631
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 3: this fight, the one million dollars, the fact that the

632
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 3: titles at stake, all that's just dressing on it, and

633
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 3: you hope that not only do we get a classic,

634
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 3: but we see these guys fight each other many times.

635
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we've heard aj say he'd follow

636
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 3: Pipple up to heavyweight if it meant you know, doing that.

637
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: He just wants to beat this guy. So I think

638
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 3: there's a nice window here, Luke, based upon some of

639
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 3: the things you said, where if you are a UFC

640
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 3: fan and you never really give Bellator a full swing,

641
00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: and maybe you watch two fifty five and you were like,

642
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 3: I saw some I really loved. I saw some things

643
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,160
Speaker 3: I didn't love, but at the very least they saw

644
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: a star in Pitbull, a very like a breakout, absolute

645
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,760
Speaker 3: legit sensation. I would play up that whole thing about

646
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: him being potentially, you know, closing in on being the

647
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: best in the world as a major play in hook care,

648
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:23,080
Speaker 3: not even a ploy, a major you know, you know, yeah, yeah.

649
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: That's is this a bit like a Steepe versus DC

650
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: kind of fight. Here's what I mean by that. If

651
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: Pitbull wins, you could do this beforehand, but certainly afterwards.

652
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 1: If pit Bull wins, you can say he's the best

653
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: one forty five or on Earth. Okay, you can, you can.

654
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: You can again, people can reasonably people can disagree, but

655
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 1: you can at least make the claim and that if

656
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: McKee beats that guy, oh well, that was the best

657
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: guy at one forty five in the world, and so

658
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: McKee by beating him becomes that is that the argument

659
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 1: for McKee, Because as good as McKee is and as

660
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: huge as a win over pit Bull might be there's

661
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 1: still that body of work that he doesn't have, although

662
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: Pitbull would be a nice you know, scalp on the

663
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: restid well.

664
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you could really get behind the idea that

665
00:31:04,120 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: McKee has a chance to become everything for Belatoor that

666
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 3: Aaron Pico hasn't yet still could maybe still going to

667
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 3: be a really good fighter, I believe, but Aaron Peko

668
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: never became that we have the phenom, We have the

669
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 3: next big thing in the sport right here. Aj McKay

670
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 3: McKee in some ways almost like stumbled into that Luke,

671
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:23,640
Speaker 3: you know, like he's just put it together at the

672
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 3: right time, peaking at this tournament that I think part

673
00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:29,280
Speaker 3: of that marketing of the whole idea of you know,

674
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 3: there's a pompfer pound fight and could the winner be

675
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 3: the best featherweight in the world. I mean, how about

676
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: sprinkling a little bit more hyperbole on there and saying

677
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 3: if McKee beats Pipele and he's the champion and he's

678
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 3: unbeaten and he's got all of our records for consecutive

679
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 3: wins and he just beat the face of our franchise,

680
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:48,240
Speaker 3: like look again, believe it or not, this guy's guy

681
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: like Tiger Woods type feeling in this sport.

682
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 4: This guy's a phenom, he's a natural.

683
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 3: Look at him. I mean that's the way to really

684
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,479
Speaker 3: frame this and caption this, Luke. And as much as

685
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 3: even that felt like a stretch to say, I don't

686
00:32:00,440 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 3: necessarily believe he's, you know, Tiger Woods of this sport,

687
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: but good god, if he beats frigging pit bull, Luke,

688
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy's moving, He's he's coming, Okay, like MK, Luke.

689
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 1: He's he is like he is like MK, only he's undefeated.

690
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 3: No, but he's really coming.

691
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: And you and I are more like journeymen who have

692
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: taken incredible l's over the course of our careers that

693
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 1: are having a late career resurgence. We're more like Yan

694
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 1: Blohovitch than we would like to admit, you know what

695
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:25,480
Speaker 1: I mean?

696
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 3: Or you could say that, look, Luke, or really is

697
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 3: our broadcasting prime you know, forty two to fifty five

698
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: age wise? I think we are. We're on a good pacer.

699
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: Now We're about to take over the world, Luke. I

700
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 3: don't know if you've been watching our numbers closely, are

701
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:44,360
Speaker 3: you know? Mashed critical appeal? How amazing our fans are yeah,

702
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 3: we ain't no Yon Blohowitz, Okay, even though I respect

703
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 3: that guy, all.

704
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think your I think your argument is correct,

705
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 1: and there's other ways to frame where's the we are?

706
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 3: This is the beat of of MMA talking.

707
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 1: Ye, I'm not so sure we want to be that

708
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: just yet. Let's wait and see how how a fair

709
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: and appropriate that analogy is. But BC, in all seriousness,

710
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 1: this is the point I think you're trying to make,

711
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,239
Speaker 1: which is, look, man, yes, I prefer if promoters tell

712
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 1: the truth, but they don't really have an obligation to,

713
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 1: and it's not really what they do. What is the

714
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 1: promotional downside to saying that the best the winner here

715
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 1: is the best one forty five? Like, what is the

716
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 1: cost to doing that? It'll okay, you know, promoters stock

717
00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: will you know? Oh, people will find them untrustworthy? Yes,

718
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: so what they tend to do that no matter what,

719
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 1: and it stirs debate. You can go a little bit

720
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 1: overboard by being like, oh, we're being watched by seventy

721
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: five trillion people just in China, like one championship has done.

722
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: But I do think that trying to force arguments into

723
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 1: the framing of a fight is actually a pretty important

724
00:33:52,360 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: thing to do.

725
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're damn right, and you can go too far,

726
00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,040
Speaker 3: you can waste too many bullets. But even a Bob

727
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: Aram who is no stranger of toppering boxing Luke to

728
00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 3: lay it on thick. I at least respect that he picks.

729
00:34:04,440 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 3: He picks his bullets, he chooses them wisely. Yeah, he'll

730
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 3: tell you, man, Loma Chanko, I haven't seen a spirit

731
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 3: like that since Ali. And at first you're like, oh,

732
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 3: come on, what are we doing here? Well, let me

733
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,320
Speaker 3: Chako turned out pretty good, but Cruftford turned out pretty

734
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: hold the Seo turned out pretty good, or you know,

735
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 3: and I hold this table femal excuse me, So you

736
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: get what I'm saying. Yeah, good run, Yeah, yeah, no,

737
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:27,680
Speaker 3: you get what I'm saying there. But uh, I don't

738
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,759
Speaker 3: think you're pissing people off for offending them. I think

739
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,359
Speaker 3: you're bringing eyeballs in. And again I think you know,

740
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 3: Pipple was the right main event or to open the

741
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:38,399
Speaker 3: bellator on Showtime Era, and he delivered. And this fight

742
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 3: is going to be the best advertisement you could think

743
00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 3: of Luke for the you know, the future health of

744
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 3: this of this promotion. Obviously, Rumbo Romero is its own

745
00:34:46,680 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: special kind of wild card firecracker that we all need

746
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 3: to see. But Piple McKee is, yeah, that's as good

747
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 3: as it gets. Luke, that's yeah. Come on.

748
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: Also, I think folks are forgetting Like I think like

749
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: PFL has grown a little bit in popularity in terms

750
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: of a certain kind of fighter, like an Anthony Pettis.

751
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 1: You know, late stage, you still got a little bit

752
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: of fighting left on. Yeah, let's see if you can

753
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: make it work by just taking a short amount of

754
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,879
Speaker 1: fights to a million dollar check. The winner here gets

755
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,919
Speaker 1: that as well. It's sort of like an easy way

756
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:18,200
Speaker 1: to borrow from some of the pfl's fighter appeal while

757
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,719
Speaker 1: still having a matchmaking kind of model a little bit,

758
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 1: because you obviously can you can set the tournament. So

759
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: there you go.

760
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 3: I just had a vision. I just had a vision.

761
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,279
Speaker 3: You did, Yeah, related to this topic. But remember how

762
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 3: awkward it was at the UFC card a couple weeks

763
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 3: ago in Vegas when they scanned the celebrity section of

764
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 3: the crowd and it was like Paul Anka's old ass

765
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 3: in the corner, and like all these young people that

766
00:35:40,120 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: you and I are too old to connect with.

767
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:45,240
Speaker 1: Remember that, Yeah, and we're like what Yeah, but like honestly,

768
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:47,399
Speaker 1: Chet Hanks, you.

769
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,480
Speaker 3: Know, sense A Segal wasn't available.

770
00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, yeah, Chet Hanks is not cooler

771
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: than us. I don't care what anybody says.

772
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 3: I hope when when you and I one day take

773
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,800
Speaker 3: this show on the road and do like a live

774
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,200
Speaker 3: show for something big, Luke. Remember, imagine if it's it's like,

775
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 3: you know, Connor versus a BB two fight week and

776
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 3: MK's got you cover with a live show from Las Vegas,

777
00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:10,000
Speaker 3: you know, and we had our own celebrity section of

778
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 3: celebrities that have outed themselves to us as huge MK fans.

779
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:18,120
Speaker 3: That that bullpen, that's that's gonna start. That's filling up

780
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,400
Speaker 3: Luke with with some pretty awesome people. I know, we

781
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 3: got to make a CEE for George Corpscrinder and his

782
00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:25,720
Speaker 3: kids in the back of it. But can we welcome

783
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 3: Portugal de Man to the MK to super Fan Club.

784
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 3: You know, they could be rocking out with us there and.

785
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,920
Speaker 1: You're very happy about Portugal the Man reaching out to you.

786
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, come on, come on, come on. There's moments

787
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 3: like that, Luke. Okay, we listen my life for moments all.

788
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:42,640
Speaker 1: Right, real quickly, real quickly before we leave the Belltore topic.

789
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: Beltore announced UFC sorry, Belltore two fifty nine, which will

790
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: be May twenty first, is going to be the rematch

791
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 1: between Cyborg at one hundred and forty five pounds the

792
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,920
Speaker 1: first time it was one hundred and forty but between

793
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: Cyborg the champion currently at featherweight in Beltore and then

794
00:36:56,120 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: Leslie Smith. Any thoughts on this one.

795
00:37:00,280 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 3: Not overly positive thoughts, Luke. I am of the understanding,

796
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,879
Speaker 3: like I've been throughout most of Chris Cyborg's career, that

797
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 3: you got to wait out the good matchups because there

798
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 3: just isn't the depth, especially you know, the weight division

799
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520
Speaker 3: she has populated where you're gonna consistently get fights that

800
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 3: you're really interested. And I was really interested in the

801
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,960
Speaker 3: Julia buddfight. You know, it was her entering the promotion

802
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 3: and trying to win the title. And but this one

803
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 3: doesn't move me as much, Luke, let's be let's just

804
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: say say what it is.

805
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the first one was not competitive. It lasted just

806
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,839
Speaker 1: a minute, not even a minute and a half. And

807
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,239
Speaker 1: I understand why they're doing it. You signed Leslie Smith,

808
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,799
Speaker 1: You're gonna have it at the first of all the

809
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: appropriate weight class. At this point, you know who you

810
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,960
Speaker 1: got in the stable to make it work. I think

811
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,799
Speaker 1: Smith won her belator debut, so I understand why they

812
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: made it, But it's like, what, what would make me

813
00:37:48,400 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: believe that what happened the first time more or less

814
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 1: won't happen the second. I guess we don't know.

815
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: But here's the unfortunate yet entertaining part of this, Luke. Like.

816
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:00,760
Speaker 3: The unfortunate part is I don't want to see Cyborg

817
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 3: like visibly declined before my eyes. But the entertaining part

818
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 3: of it is, you know, except for the times when

819
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:11,040
Speaker 3: we find her somebody absolutely legitimate who can challenge her,

820
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:14,279
Speaker 3: until that point where she's you know, completely over the

821
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,799
Speaker 3: over the hill, one of these nights, she's gonna show

822
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 3: up a little bit old and being a war and

823
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 3: you know, it'll be really fun when it gets there,

824
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 3: even if it'll be you know, sad in the in

825
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,840
Speaker 3: the life cycle and the food chain of seeing that happen.

826
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: But I don't think it'll be this one, Luke, But

827
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:33,560
Speaker 3: that is coming, and uh, you know that she's gonna

828
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 3: punch her way out of those matchups, Luke, It's gonna

829
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: be fun. Theater. You know, I just don't think this

830
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:38,759
Speaker 3: is the one, you know.

831
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 1: Nita do I dude? This is her from the Arlene

832
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:44,040
Speaker 1: Blenco fight, I think, or maybe yeah, I think it's

833
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: Arlene Blenco fight. No, this is Julia, but that's budd

834
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 1: Julia bu because it says Gibson on the rear end.

835
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 1: That's her coach and her husband. I think, you know, dude,

836
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,839
Speaker 1: she didn't look too bad. She hadn't looked too bad

837
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: to me. Her only loss since her pro debut, so

838
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: her only loss in fifteen years. BCEE is Amanda Nunez. Like,

839
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: if there's decline, I don't know where where do you

840
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,279
Speaker 1: see it? I don't see it.

841
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 3: Well, I don't see anyone, you know, even with a

842
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,959
Speaker 3: little bit more decline, being able to expose that decline yet.

843
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,439
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying, Luke, is that night it does come,

844
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: and it kind of comes unexpectedly. Typically it does like

845
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 3: like like young college age, Luke, you know, very unexpectedly, right,

846
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 3: you know on an ounce.

847
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:31,920
Speaker 1: Actually has been widely expected? No, yeah, and and eagerly anticipated.

848
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:37,040
Speaker 3: Luke, would you care about cat zin Gano versus uh Chris?

849
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 1: I honestly think Smith might be a better fight at

850
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: this point.

851
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 3: I agree with you, But would you care more because

852
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 3: it's Cat?

853
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,520
Speaker 1: Come on, yeah, it's a fresh matchup. It's a fresh matchup.

854
00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:54,720
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, But I think unless Cat can really get

855
00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: back to what she used to be, which was a

856
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: physical wrestling powerhouse, right, she was so dominant.

857
00:40:00,520 --> 00:40:03,839
Speaker 3: Those knees against Misha bro the knees against Misha, those

858
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:04,919
Speaker 3: were some violent asks.

859
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 1: If you've never seen it, go watch the Misha Tate

860
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:10,040
Speaker 1: and Cat Zangano fight. You want to talk about a

861
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:14,920
Speaker 1: dog fight between two absolute beasts that was that was

862
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 1: like that? And then beating who did she beat when

863
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 1: she beat a man as the first Yes?

864
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 3: Noon as right?

865
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, she's a fucking she was a monster. I

866
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:28,239
Speaker 1: don't know where she's at today, so just keep that

867
00:40:28,280 --> 00:40:30,040
Speaker 1: in mind, all right, this one, I'm excited to get

868
00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:32,879
Speaker 1: to BC number five of This Guy topic number four

869
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: as we move along here, Jamelle Herring had a really

870
00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 1: I'll have BC explained the details, but he had a

871
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: moment coming out of his last fight where folks thought

872
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: he was a beat, a bit mentally weak, a bit

873
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,719
Speaker 1: of a quitter, a bit of a guy who just

874
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:47,879
Speaker 1: kind of gave in we didn't need to. He still

875
00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 1: won the contest, but there was a lot of questions

876
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: about his character. Well, he goes out here on Saturday

877
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: and he fights Carl Frampton and not only wins, BC

878
00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: retires Carl Frampton drops him multiple time, to the point

879
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: where Frampton's corner had to chuck in the towel in

880
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 1: just the sixth round. In fact, when they interviewed Frampton, BC,

881
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,479
Speaker 1: Frampton was like, you should be talking to the champ.

882
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,720
Speaker 1: You shouldn't even be talking to me right now, because

883
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 1: I came in ready, I was ready to go. I

884
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,240
Speaker 1: had a great camp, and he just beat the bricks

885
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 1: off of me. It's as simple as that. Let's talk

886
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:23,000
Speaker 1: about Carl in a second. But first things first, how

887
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: big of a redemptive moment was this? Given the questioning

888
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:28,440
Speaker 1: for Jamel Herring Monster.

889
00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,719
Speaker 3: I mean, like, forget the questioning just first of all,

890
00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 3: somebody of Jamel Herring's ilk to win a title when

891
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,640
Speaker 3: we didn't really know if he was that guy, and

892
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 3: then have that moment you talked about last fight, and

893
00:41:37,960 --> 00:41:41,239
Speaker 3: then to knockout Carl Frampton under any circumstances. This is

894
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,840
Speaker 3: sort of the you know, the mountaintop moment of his career.

895
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 3: But you add in what happened. Look, that's the true

896
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 3: measure of a real man. He got we scot you know,

897
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,480
Speaker 3: we were all over him last fight against O Kendo

898
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 3: in the midst of the quarantine. It looked Luke like

899
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,919
Speaker 3: he was trying to quit or playing with the disqualification

900
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 3: rules and just not fighting hard and being very affected

901
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: by by some of the fouls that happened. And and

902
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,239
Speaker 3: you know, one, obviously we're not in there, we're not

903
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,880
Speaker 3: going through that. But two we knew coming in with

904
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 3: with this guy's history of how tough he was, and

905
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 3: you know, mentally and and and that.

906
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 4: But did I believe he could summon this performance.

907
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,279
Speaker 3: No, I didn't believe. I could understand why the betting

908
00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 3: odds were so close, even though Frampton had said ahead

909
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 3: of time that he would retire if he lost. But

910
00:42:27,200 --> 00:42:29,800
Speaker 3: it seemed more like him just putting extra pressure on

911
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: himself to get another big win, get a title back,

912
00:42:32,560 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 3: and try to get back into some big fights. You

913
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: gotta give herring, I mean so much credit here, Luke,

914
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 3: because you know, skill for skill, he's not better than

915
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 3: Carl Frampton. I thought this would be a long night

916
00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:45,760
Speaker 3: at the office and he just bit down and believed

917
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,560
Speaker 3: in his power and those knockdowns were brutal that left uppercut. Look,

918
00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: I mean, there's he put it on Carl Frampton, and

919
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 3: you know, obviously we can talk about Frampton the second,

920
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 3: but this is this is a man's win right here.

921
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:03,160
Speaker 3: This was going out there and it right and shout

922
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,000
Speaker 3: out to Jamel Herring. This this is gonna go down

923
00:43:05,040 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 3: as one of the best wins of this calendar year. Luke,

924
00:43:07,640 --> 00:43:09,080
Speaker 3: He's not gonna win fight of the year. It's not

925
00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 3: the fight of the year under any circumstance. But this

926
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 3: was a hell of a victory for somebody who needed

927
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:16,360
Speaker 3: this type of moment. It's too easy to get a

928
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 3: belt these days, Luke, under over beating you know, a

929
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 3: guy for the vacant belt or what interim title, and they,

930
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 3: you know, raise you up as the full Nobody has

931
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 3: to beat anybody anymore to become a champion, is really

932
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. He's knocked out Carl Frampton like that.

933
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 3: You know that that's the moment right there, and well done,

934
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 3: Jamel Herring.

935
00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't have much to add to that,

936
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 1: except you know, you could tell what he he he

937
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 1: this fight was not merely about winning. It was about

938
00:43:42,480 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: reflecting the kind of character with which he competes, which

939
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 1: was not really all that evident in the last fight,

940
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:49,279
Speaker 1: or at least, you know, maybe the last fight was

941
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: not the best demonstration of it. He knew for himself,

942
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 1: forget even just anybody else watching, for himself, he had

943
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:58,040
Speaker 1: to come out here and show real fighting spirit. And

944
00:43:58,080 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: by the way, credits Carl Frampton, who who I think

945
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 1: was a little bit frustrated at the end of Herring's

946
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: reach and this decided, you know what, let's bang, Let's bang,

947
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 1: Taito Ivasa and Greg Hardy, let's bang, and tried to

948
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 1: really open up. But that only that only I think

949
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:15,360
Speaker 1: you would agree BC. When he did that, that actually

950
00:44:15,440 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: just facilitated his demise because it allowed for a guy

951
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: like Herring to fight fire with fire at that point,

952
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 1: and he was just doing better that night. So it

953
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:25,440
Speaker 1: didn't work out for him. But I give credit to

954
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 1: Carl Frampton for the way he thought. I give unbelievable

955
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 1: semper five credit to Jim Minel Herring for coming out

956
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 1: here and putting stamp on things. Let's talk about Frampton

957
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,200
Speaker 1: for a second. He wanted to be the first Irish

958
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,320
Speaker 1: fighter to get three world titles. He only got two,

959
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 1: which is still pretty great obviously, and he now calls

960
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:43,839
Speaker 1: it a career. He said he wanted to go back

961
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:45,799
Speaker 1: to his family, which, believe me, dude, I understand now

962
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 1: more than I ever have in my life. What can

963
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: we say about the career of Carl Frampton?

964
00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:53,799
Speaker 3: Just such a fricking classy individual. I love me, I

965
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:56,879
Speaker 3: love me some Carl Frampton and you know he has

966
00:44:56,920 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 3: the accomplishments to go down as a legend and he's

967
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: had a great career. I really actually double down respect

968
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: on him being a man of his word and saying,

969
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:06,759
Speaker 3: you know, I said I'd retire if I lost this.

970
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 3: He just knocked me out. I'm walking away. And the

971
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:10,919
Speaker 3: reason why I believe it is because for some reason,

972
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 3: luke guys in the UK when they when they walk

973
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,880
Speaker 3: away for good, they tend to stick with that. And

974
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 3: he tends to know that this was the time that

975
00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:20,160
Speaker 3: you know, this was the end of the days for

976
00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 3: him to give the very best. And if you can't

977
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 3: give your very best, y be out there. So what

978
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:25,839
Speaker 3: has this guy giving us a very classy career? You're

979
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,239
Speaker 3: seeing the highlights there his two fight series with Leo

980
00:45:28,320 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 3: Santa Cruz in which they split them both Fight of

981
00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: the Year contenders. This is you know, this was high theater.

982
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 3: This was two of the best all action fights which

983
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,399
Speaker 3: retained high level pound four pound skill. I mean, these

984
00:45:40,400 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 3: were instant classics when they broke out in twenty eighteen

985
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 3: and nineteen. I believe he also had that big showdown

986
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: with Scott Quigg which had been building for years in

987
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 3: the UK and in Ireland as this you know, big

988
00:45:52,160 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 3: crossover moment. Well he went out there and he won

989
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,279
Speaker 3: the fight. Not the best fight ever, but he went

990
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 3: out there and he won that. So he's had some

991
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 3: big wins in his run, Luke, He's bounced back from defeats.

992
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 3: Be in the h Josh Warrington fight. We really should

993
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:05,320
Speaker 3: have believed what we saw in terms of a once

994
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:08,359
Speaker 3: great fighter slowing down. But he's got nothing to hang

995
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 3: you know, his head negatively on, Luke. He was the

996
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:13,280
Speaker 3: Belfast boy still is. You know him and Van Morrison,

997
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 3: those are the true stars of that city, Luke. If

998
00:46:15,320 --> 00:46:19,120
Speaker 3: you the no that really know and forget uh Northern

999
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:21,799
Speaker 3: Irish to Irish declaration there, this guy's one of the

1000
00:46:21,800 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 3: best from that that great Island Luke that we've seen

1001
00:46:25,080 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 3: so well done on a great career. I don't think

1002
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:28,799
Speaker 3: we'll see it to get him again. I would have

1003
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 3: loved to have seen the trilogy with Leo, but I

1004
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 3: guess we're gonna have to enjoy the the first two

1005
00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 3: on rewatch Luke one day, you and I with a

1006
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 3: crack of cold one. Maybe put on the cameras rewatch

1007
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: those bad boys again.

1008
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,320
Speaker 1: Well said, uh to, you're from your lips to God's ears. Okay,

1009
00:46:44,320 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: let's go to the next MMA topic. So one has

1010
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,960
Speaker 1: an interesting moment. Now they've aired some stuff before on TNT,

1011
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 1: whether it was recorded or some other kind of event,

1012
00:46:54,520 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have their North American live television debut.

1013
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: It appears on Wednesday. It'll be one on TNT. It's

1014
00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:05,560
Speaker 1: going to have the return BC of Demetrius Johnson. It's

1015
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,680
Speaker 1: going to have the return of Eddie Alvarez. Demetrius will

1016
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 1: be fighting for the Flyway title against the current champion,

1017
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 1: and I think Alvarez fights Yuri Lapicus, I believe it's

1018
00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: his name. There's some other fights on the car. We

1019
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: talked earlier about some of the challenges that Bell tore

1020
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,440
Speaker 1: faces in this new era as they want to capture

1021
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: the fans attention, BC, what are you really expecting from one?

1022
00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: You know, they have an interesting consumer pitch, which is

1023
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: that our rules are different, we have a different way

1024
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: of scoring, we have all different kinds of permutations we

1025
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 1: can play with because we're not controlled by the government.

1026
00:47:41,200 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: But the same time, is that enough to get the

1027
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,640
Speaker 1: average MMA fans attention even with two former UFC figures

1028
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:48,680
Speaker 1: that some fans might know.

1029
00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:52,359
Speaker 3: Well, I feel like the timing on this is tough Luke,

1030
00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 3: because this is supposed to be one big moment. I

1031
00:47:54,160 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 3: give him a lot of credit after initially having that

1032
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,919
Speaker 3: deal with TNT and Bleacher Report and the full company there,

1033
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: that they're finally doing what they wanted to do, which is,

1034
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,239
Speaker 3: you know, be in primetime on US soil on the

1035
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 3: major network there, TNT, and I know they want to

1036
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:09,280
Speaker 3: make where's this card.

1037
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,160
Speaker 1: Airing from Luke Singapore?

1038
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 3: Singapore? Okay, so this isn't their US debut, which which

1039
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,120
Speaker 3: for them, you know, hopefully will still be a big

1040
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,439
Speaker 3: show and a big opportunity to splash. I just think

1041
00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 3: they had a little bit of momentum when they first

1042
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 3: signed these names and then you know, covid hit and

1043
00:48:24,040 --> 00:48:26,120
Speaker 3: I think this is kind of coming under the radar

1044
00:48:26,200 --> 00:48:28,600
Speaker 3: right now. Even though there's good name power on it,

1045
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 3: I don't see a ton of people talking about it.

1046
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 3: They do have a chance, though, to win some hearts.

1047
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know what the buzz will be like to

1048
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:37,520
Speaker 3: see this, but they've got the right network to sort

1049
00:48:37,520 --> 00:48:39,720
Speaker 3: of make a launch. Are in the States, and again

1050
00:48:39,719 --> 00:48:41,399
Speaker 3: they've got matchups that we kind of need to see.

1051
00:48:41,400 --> 00:48:43,360
Speaker 3: This is a tough fight for Demitrius Johnson straight up.

1052
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,359
Speaker 3: I mean, this will be a very good fight as

1053
00:48:45,360 --> 00:48:47,759
Speaker 3: he's going fresh off the tournament win to face the

1054
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 3: real champion at that weight class. And I obviously want

1055
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 3: to see Eddie Alvason under anyone, under any circumstance. But

1056
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 3: I don't feel like the buzz could be there for

1057
00:48:57,080 --> 00:48:59,799
Speaker 3: them here, Luke what it could be. But maybe they

1058
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 3: maybe if this show kills And you know, as much

1059
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 3: as we've joked at times about some of the marketing

1060
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 3: ploys and aggressiveness of the one PR staff and filling

1061
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 3: our inboxes and text messages and answering.

1062
00:49:11,360 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: Machines, oh no, they don't do that with me.

1063
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 3: And WhatsApp and knocking on my front door, and you know,

1064
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,919
Speaker 3: putting the hands on my children now, you know, really

1065
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 3: really just harassment to the professional degree. Outside of that, Luke,

1066
00:49:27,239 --> 00:49:28,880
Speaker 3: I mean, their product is fun. You see a lot

1067
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 3: of have you seen this shit come out of there?

1068
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,279
Speaker 3: So you know, maybe this will maybe it will be

1069
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,479
Speaker 3: the results of this card that will bang the drum

1070
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,520
Speaker 3: a little bit for them. But you know, look, MMA

1071
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:38,840
Speaker 3: is hot right now, It's not a bad time to

1072
00:49:38,840 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 3: do this, Luke. I just feel like timing wise in

1073
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:44,840
Speaker 3: terms of getting average fans to care, I don't know.

1074
00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 3: I don't know how many average MMA fans even know

1075
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:48,799
Speaker 3: that this is gonna be on, is what I'm saying.

1076
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know either. I'll be curious to see

1077
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: what the ratings will be they put together. Again, I

1078
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 1: think for a company that is based in Southeast Asia

1079
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:03,000
Speaker 1: and largely appear to the various Asian communities, right, that's

1080
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:05,400
Speaker 1: where most of their market is coming to North America

1081
00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 1: makes sense because it's a big market. It's an advanced

1082
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,879
Speaker 1: market for MMA tastes. Right. People know what MMA is here,

1083
00:50:10,880 --> 00:50:12,520
Speaker 1: they like it a lot, at least in a relative

1084
00:50:12,560 --> 00:50:17,360
Speaker 1: to other places. But again, it's like, what are you

1085
00:50:17,520 --> 00:50:22,319
Speaker 1: gonna show us that either is gonna grab attention or

1086
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: make folks care or whatever. It's like, Oh, it's more

1087
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:27,480
Speaker 1: MMA with a slightly different rule set. Given the way

1088
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,919
Speaker 1: that they're presenting to the product, I don't I don't

1089
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,640
Speaker 1: know how commanding a pitch that is, to be quite

1090
00:50:32,680 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: honest with you. In fact, I don't think it's very

1091
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:39,440
Speaker 1: commanding at all. It's a fine card. I don't hate it.

1092
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:41,720
Speaker 1: It's you know, I'll put the DVR on, no problem.

1093
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:45,600
Speaker 1: But I'm just a you know, ten pm on a

1094
00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 1: Wednesday night started the card for you know, for this

1095
00:50:50,200 --> 00:50:54,279
Speaker 1: is like, that's not really a very effective way to

1096
00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:56,360
Speaker 1: enter a market. I don't think. Although TNT is a

1097
00:50:56,400 --> 00:50:57,640
Speaker 1: very highly rated channel, Oge.

1098
00:50:57,520 --> 00:50:59,719
Speaker 3: I mean you well think, look, look, let's not completely

1099
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 3: I mean look, if this was a Saturday night up

1100
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:06,080
Speaker 3: against anything from college basketball to boxing and other mixed

1101
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:08,120
Speaker 3: martial arts, I may have more of an issue. I

1102
00:51:08,200 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 3: think the Wednesday night seems kind of smart, right that

1103
00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 3: that's when you could get people to stumble into TNT

1104
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:17,000
Speaker 3: looking for like, I don't know, reruns of great nineties

1105
00:51:17,080 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 3: movies like The Firm or The Fugitive. You know, they

1106
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:22,920
Speaker 3: know drama.

1107
00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:23,279
Speaker 1: Luke.

1108
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 3: Maybe that maybe they'll stumble into it. Hey, look who's

1109
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:27,839
Speaker 3: stumbled into this? Luke? Hey, check it out, guy.

1110
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,600
Speaker 1: Is this that stray you picked up in the alley?

1111
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 3: Hey buddy, Now he's not feeling the show today. It's

1112
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:37,920
Speaker 3: not he's not. Hey, alright, sorry, sorry, Luke, sorry to interrupt.

1113
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: That, Yo, Reggie fuck his ass up? Yeah, uh okay,

1114

Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they're there.

1118
00:51:52,760 --> 00:51:54,440

00:52:12,080 --> 00:52:14,319
Speaker 1: among that demo it's number one.

1124
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 3: I want to red. Reggie Jackson is a huge fan

1125
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:18,000
Speaker 3: of Jatre loved.

Speaker 1: not least there haven't been.

1128
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 3: Called Reggie homeless? Is that where you're going with that joke?

1129
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:27,439
Speaker 1: Luke, Listen, I picked my cat up off the street.

1130
00:52:27,480 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 1: Who cares?

1131
00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 3: Okay, all right? I love homeless cats.

1132
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh b c Why do you court trouble unnecessarily.

1133
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,360
Speaker 3: H I'm naughty by nature, not because I hate you.

1134
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,399
Speaker 1: I understand, I understand. All right, let's go to last

00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 1: You featherweight matchup two guys who are scrappy. James came

1144
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:09,320
Speaker 1: in with a big bang, had a couple of u

1145
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 1: setback since then, I believe.

1146
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 3: But rossa yo, James, it's it's your boy, hardy. Call

1147

Speaker 3: out there and beg.

1148
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:20,879
Speaker 1: And then then you and I can bang. We can bang,

1149
00:53:21,239 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: we can bang, we can bang. Hani Barcelos versus timour

1155
00:53:43,280 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 1: Wana? Dude? I'm telling you, there's a lot of good

1156
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,200
Speaker 1: fighters coming out of Spain. Wana Spino was one of them.

1157
00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:50,120
Speaker 1: Uh how about this last fight on his contract for

1158
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,480
Speaker 1: Demi and Maya when he faces blah Mohammad UFC two

1159
00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 1: sixty three.

1160
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, that's interesting.

1161
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 3: I don't hate it.

1162
00:53:57,080 --> 00:53:58,960
Speaker 1: That's an interesting one. This is really gonna test some

1163
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 1: of blah Mohammed's position, I think discipline. And I hope

1164
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 1: Meyer retires because he said when he retires he's going

1165
00:54:08,360 --> 00:54:10,640
Speaker 1: to put out a full MMA instructional on all his

1166
00:54:10,719 --> 00:54:13,480
Speaker 1: ideas about how to incorporate jiu jitsu in the MMA,

1167
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 1: which he won't share until he retires. So I'm actually

1168
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:17,560
Speaker 1: hoping that he does that soon.

1169
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: Here we go be seeing is just the equivalent of

1170
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 3: a magician doing a TV special after to show all

1171
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,640
Speaker 3: his secrets and then getting black balled from the industry.

1172
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: Yes something, maybe not the black ball part, but yeah,

1173
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:29,919
Speaker 1: everything else.

1174
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:32,640
Speaker 3: I was supposed to share the jesuites with the gringos.

1175
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 1: Right, I think that's the I think that's when you're

1176
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,880
Speaker 1: eating and you become eggshen that we're not supposed to

1177

1178
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:40,759

Speaker 1: that is just all.

1190
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 3: Where can I freebase that fight? Please? Yes?

1191
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:22,560
Speaker 1: That's gonna be fucking awesome, is what. That's going to be.

1192
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: Another big one. Gilbert Burns. We should talk about this

1193
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: one for a second. Gilbert Burns taking on Stephen Thompson.

1194
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 1: That's a tough fight for Gilbert.

1195
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,799
Speaker 3: That's a great fight. That's great matchmaking. I mean it's

1196
00:55:33,840 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 3: sort of like, okay, wonder boy, you're talking a big

1197
00:55:36,160 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 3: game lately. Let's beat this killer who's coming off a

1198
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 3: loss in a title fight. You know, like this is

1199
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 3: gonna be style wise, You're gonna have to favor Burns

1200
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,760
Speaker 3: in that, Luke. I mean, can Wonder Boy pull that out?

1201
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:51,440
Speaker 3: Can he out? Can he do Wonder Boy things?

1202
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:53,399
Speaker 1: I think he can. I mean, let's see, lets see,

1203
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:54,839
Speaker 1: let's see if it's in the small cage, We'll see

1204
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 1: if it's in the big cage. I'll just say this, dude,

1205
00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 1: If Stephen Thompson wins, I don't know how he doesn't

1206
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,839
Speaker 1: get a title shot at this point. And then more

1207
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:05,680
Speaker 1: to the point, could you imagine after the second fight

1208
00:56:05,760 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: with Woodley that you know, was it three four years later,

1209
00:56:09,239 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: maybe even five or something four years later, that we'd

1210
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 1: be back here with Steven Thompson number one contender or

1211
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 1: potential number one. I mean that's crazy.

1212
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not easy to do, especially with a style. Yeah,

1213
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 3: I mean he's built on counter striking, which I mean

1214
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 3: timing could offset some of the loss of speed. But

1215
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 3: for him to keep it up in this division at

1216
00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 3: this age without being a slugger, that's impressively.

1217
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:32,439
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you the guys who can keep their

1218
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 1: bodies reasonably fresh, which is extremely hard to do. I remember,

1219
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't think Wonder Boy got put out put out

1220
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: until that Pettis fight. He got tko't against Matt Brown,

1221
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:44,839
Speaker 1: but I don't think he got put out. Put out.

1222
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 1: He just stopped defending himself basically, so they had to

1223
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: intervene on his behalf. But in general, and he got

1224
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,360
Speaker 1: rocked against Woodley, but he hasn't taken a ton of abuse,

1225
00:56:53,960 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 1: and here he is like to get to get a

1226
00:56:56,680 --> 00:57:01,880
Speaker 1: rematch is one thing. To get another title shot years

1227
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 1: apart from the last title shot you got in the UFC.

1228
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 1: That is very rare and very hard to do. It

1229
00:57:08,160 --> 00:57:11,319
Speaker 1: is an exceedingly small group that has ever done that.

1230
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: And he might be on the cusp of that. That's

1231
00:57:13,640 --> 00:57:15,759
Speaker 1: a big one. Got a couple more of these, BC,

1232
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:20,640
Speaker 1: Let's see here. This is another big one. You may

1233
00:57:20,720 --> 00:57:22,200
Speaker 1: laugh at this, but this is the guy I talked

1234
00:57:22,200 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 1: about when I called you co host on The Rogan Show.

1235
00:57:24,720 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 1: Michelle Preseris returns to take on unbeaten Shavcot Rockmanov. This dude,

1236
00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:34,920
Speaker 1: Rockmanov is a motherfucker and Michelle Prezerish is, you know,

1237
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 1: very tough, hard nosed kind of wrestling tree stunt guy.

1238
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:39,920
Speaker 1: Should be interesting.

1239
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds great, Luke.

1240
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:47,080
Speaker 1: You don't know either of those fighters, do you? Lastly,

1241
00:57:47,880 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 1: Jessica Penney is going to welcome newcomer Lupita Go Dinez

1242
00:57:52,600 --> 00:57:53,919
Speaker 1: at UFC Vegas twenty four.

1243
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:56,880
Speaker 3: I've heard better.

1244
00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: Okay with that, let's get to your questions. It's time

1245
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 1: when you get when you get to ask us what

1246
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:11,480
Speaker 1: you think. It's time for dms from dogs. As you

1247
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:15,000
Speaker 1: guys know, every Sunday, we put out an Instagram post

1248
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 1: where we solicit your questions. You filled them up, the

1249
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 1: producers picked them and then they send them to us.

1250
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 1: You can follow us, of course on Instagram at Morning

1251
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:28,040
Speaker 1: Combat OKBC. This is from High on Tubs where would

1252
00:58:28,040 --> 00:58:32,360
Speaker 1: Patricio and aj rink with Max, Brian and Volcanovski rank

1253
00:58:32,440 --> 00:58:33,280
Speaker 1: the top five there?

1254
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,320
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm glad that man sent it because I get

1255
00:58:35,360 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 3: a lot of these type of dms.

1256
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 4: I just received a DM who sent that in. That

1257
00:58:40,080 --> 00:58:42,760
Speaker 4: was me, That was you, all right.

1258
00:58:42,960 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 3: I get a lot of these dms lately, where you

1259
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:48,520
Speaker 3: know people we love. This guy's from Sneaky at Sneaky

1260
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 3: Underscore MTS. He's like, you know, are we gonna pretend

1261
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 3: like we wouldn't be in favor of pitple beating Volkanovsky

1262
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: in the mythical matchup? I mean I hear a lot

1263
00:58:56,280 --> 00:59:01,400
Speaker 3: of people say in that Luke of Late's really break

1264
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:04,480
Speaker 3: this down. I mean this saint you and me trying to,

1265
00:59:04,840 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 3: you know, to circle the rim and tickle the underbelly

1266
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:10,680
Speaker 3: of our viacom CBS brethren. I love the shit out

1267
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 3: of pit Bull.

1268
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 4: Could you could you believe in him to beat Volkanovsky?

1269
00:59:15,560 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 3: Straight up?

1270
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: Luke, No, I put I think Volkanovsky's your best. I

1271
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:28,680
Speaker 1: think pit Bull's probably in this. Oh, it's a toss

1272
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:30,720
Speaker 1: up between Patricio and Max for me next. I don't

1273
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 1: know which way I go with that one.

1274
00:59:32,280 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 3: M I think Max is the best featherweight in the world.

1275
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: Right now, you go Max one, pit Bull two, Vulcan three.

1276
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:43,720
Speaker 3: You know, I gotta put volc above Pitple. I think

1277
00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 3: until I see I don't know. I think Piple's a

1278
00:59:45,280 --> 00:59:47,120
Speaker 3: better fight. No, I think Piple's better, Luke.

1279
00:59:48,280 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: Pipple's power carries up a weight class and he can

1280
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,320
Speaker 1: go to one thirty five. That's a special dude.

1281
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 3: And he's a savage who would not hang out with

1282
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:56,000
Speaker 3: us at all, like you're talking to him.

1283
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: But like I said, dude, he would hang out with

1284
00:59:57,720 --> 01:00:00,560
Speaker 1: us for five minutes because he's polite and then he

1285
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 1: would realize we're two cucks who'd have no business talking

1286
01:00:03,400 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 1: to him, and he'd leave. That's what he would do.

1287
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: I definitely, I'll say this, I would definitely rank AJ

1288
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 1: at the back of that pack, in part because he's

1289
01:00:14,080 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 1: had nothing but impressive wins. But you know, Brian Ortega

1290
01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,080
Speaker 1: on the ground, you're not gonna get the one percenter

1291
01:00:20,120 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 1: on him. It's not gonna go that way. Certainly, Max's

1292
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 1: takedown defense is tremendous, and behind his JAB, he's gonna

1293
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: beat most people. He's very experienced in ways that AJ

1294
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 1: is not. So to me, it's like Volkanovski to me

1295
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 1: is number one. I would I gotta have Patricia on

1296
01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:37,720
Speaker 1: Max one or two A, two B, and then I

1297
01:00:37,760 --> 01:00:40,320
Speaker 1: go Ortega three and then AJ four.

1298
01:00:40,680 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 3: I look at it as who would I in my heart,

1299
01:00:42,840 --> 01:00:45,360
Speaker 3: who would I favor him against? I could favor him

1300
01:00:45,360 --> 01:00:47,480
Speaker 3: against Volkanovsky. I could believe that he could beat him.

1301
01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 3: I don't think he'd beat Ortega. I don't think he'd

1302
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 3: beat still super Prime Max.

1303
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 1: Wow, you think Volkanovsky sucks? Huh No.

1304
01:00:55,440 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 3: I just think he's really good at what he's really

1305
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,840
Speaker 3: good at, and he's you know, he's a he's a

1306
01:01:01,120 --> 01:01:05,000
Speaker 3: you know, he's a smart ass clinical technician, right. I

1307
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 3: really respect that. But I believe if you can match

1308
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 3: his his technical output like Max did in the rematch,

1309
01:01:12,200 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 3: and you have either size or speed or power as

1310
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 3: your advantage, you can look better than him over five

1311
01:01:18,960 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 3: rounds and get a deserved decision.

1312
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:23,640
Speaker 1: So what is technical output?

1313
01:01:24,040 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 3: It's a new term I just created. It's evolving very

1314
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 3: smart offense and defense.

1315
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: Luke.

1316
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,280
Speaker 3: It's uh, you know, I have my own uh compy

1317
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 3: box for that. So, Luke, what I'm saying is, uh,

1318
01:01:34,160 --> 01:01:36,240
Speaker 3: I think Orteko is a bad matchup for him Max,

1319
01:01:37,200 --> 01:01:39,520
Speaker 3: maybe maybe even zabat Okay, because I know a lot

1320
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 3: of people out there still sore at me for believing

1321
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,200
Speaker 3: that Zabeat is going to be the best at this

1322
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 3: weight class in a year. But uh, you know, try

1323
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:48,760
Speaker 3: me all right?

1324
01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: From j Rocked from j rock t or Rocked eleven

1325
01:01:55,040 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 1: or one to one or what the fuck you say

1326
01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 1: this name on the wheel of death. When Luke had

1327
01:01:59,040 --> 01:02:01,280
Speaker 1: to propose changes to Belatoor, why not add a one

1328
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:04,120
Speaker 1: sixty five pound division. It'd be the first major organization

1329
01:02:04,200 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: to do so, and has a lot of big names

1330
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:09,240
Speaker 1: that they could grab on free agency. That is an

1331
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,600
Speaker 1: interesting idea, BC, but my only concern would be if

1332
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 1: you did it in UFC, you have a lot of

1333
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 1: people at one fifty five and one seventy. Belatore doesn't

1334
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:23,720
Speaker 1: have as many people, Like people want Belatore to be UFC.

1335
01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 1: It's it can't be. The way the industry is organized

1336
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:29,280
Speaker 1: doesn't work that way. You can have elites in beltoor

1337
01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,280
Speaker 1: and you do, but I don't know if you have

1338
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 1: enough to split them in the way that UFC does.

1339
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think you have the depth right now

1340
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 3: to pull something like that off. I think that's a

1341
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 3: smart move. Would you be down for Belatore almost going

1342
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,920
Speaker 3: in the opposite direction and having as little weight classes

1343
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:45,520
Speaker 3: as possible?

1344
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:50,720
Speaker 1: Luke like, what would they get rid of? Like?

1345
01:02:50,800 --> 01:02:53,560
Speaker 3: You know, this is obviously much more of a conversation

1346
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,240
Speaker 3: in boxing, where the seventeen weight divisions now are just

1347
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,680
Speaker 3: you know, on you know, just ridiculous. People are like,

1348
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 3: can't we go back to the original, right you know

1349
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:04,200
Speaker 3: that boxing had for the first sixty years or whatever.

1350
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 3: Is there a number you think in MMA that is

1351
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 3: sort of that sweet spot? How are we past that

1352
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:10,440
Speaker 3: sweet spot?

1353
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 1: I tend to think ten ten pound increment. So if

1354
01:03:13,400 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna start on the men's side at one twenty five,

1355
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: so let's see twenty five, thirty five, forty five, fifty five,

1356
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: sixty five, seventy five, eighty five, two oh five, and

1357
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 1: then heavyweight. Yeah, nine or ten is probably going to

1358
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:28,040
Speaker 1: be about right for men, all right.

1359
01:03:28,960 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, they don't have the depth in this in this

1360
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:34,520
Speaker 3: case to do it. So I was saying, do less

1361
01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 3: divisions to make the titles feel more important and have

1362
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 3: more depth at each division because of that, but that

1363
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 3: could also be a turnoff to fighters too.

1364
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:45,479
Speaker 1: But also Beltre doesn't even have a flyweight division. True,

1365
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:46,600
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Have you ever noticed that

1366
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 1: Coker has never been like, you know what Belto really needs,

1367
01:03:49,440 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 1: We got to get one twenty five ers. People want

1368
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: to make this argument, like how could you get rid

1369
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: of the flyweights? I know how, because consumers don't care

1370
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: about them. If you care about them, that's fine. Consumers

1371
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,840
Speaker 1: don't for the most part, they don't, So you know,

1372
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 1: to me, it's never been a coincidence that like, oh,

1373
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:06,400
Speaker 1: just Coca doesn't want him. Cocid doesn't want them for

1374
01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 1: a good reason, and he's had all the opportunity in

1375
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:11,320
Speaker 1: the world to snatch up some if he wanted, and

1376
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 1: he didn't, and I think that speaks volumes.

1377
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 3: It's fair, it's fair.

1378
01:04:15,240 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 1: Luke from Ilia seven four five. How would current Francis,

1379
01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:24,400
Speaker 1: current Francis and prime fad Or go. Gotta tell you,

1380
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 1: I think Fador takes an l there. Yeah, I'll tell

1381
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: you why fad Or what his big advantage was when

1382
01:04:31,000 --> 01:04:32,520
Speaker 1: he was in his prim So let's see two thousand

1383
01:04:32,520 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: and four ish, he had incredible speed and explosivity. There

1384
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: is no doubt in my mind he would land on

1385
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,720
Speaker 1: Francis first, and there's no doubt in my mind they

1386
01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 1: would land. He would land on Francis more. But he

1387
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: also had wide punches, and he also took risks. And

1388
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Francis has the dem mock on Locke, I mean, whenever

1389
01:04:52,840 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: he wants it, bink and there you go. It's you know,

1390
01:04:56,520 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 1: on call death touch is pretty great power to have.

1391
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: You're asking me. Francis durable lasted twenty five minutes with

1392
01:05:03,800 --> 01:05:05,480
Speaker 1: Steepe the first time, even though he guys ask kicked,

1393
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:07,479
Speaker 1: but they couldn't put him away. I think he would.

1394
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:09,720
Speaker 1: I think Fador would land on him bec but I

1395
01:05:09,720 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 1: think eventually that would wear off and Francis is gonna

1396
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 1: He's going to land sooner or later, and that's going

1397
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:15,760
Speaker 1: to be all. She wrote.

1398
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, you're making very very sober comments here. That

1399
01:05:19,720 --> 01:05:21,840
Speaker 3: would mean that Francis would have to be the betting favorite.

1400
01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 3: And I think overall you're right in some of what

1401
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,040
Speaker 3: Fador was was antiquated to a different error. I just

1402
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:30,720
Speaker 3: what I retain in the romanticized idea of wanting to

1403
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 3: pick Fador is the fact that he has those intangible

1404
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 3: things on lockdown that he would need to be successful

1405
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 3: chin and wrestling in this matchup. So with that, I mean, look,

1406
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 3: you know, seriously, from what as we know of Benghanu

1407
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 3: right now, Stepe is the only guy who can who

1408
01:05:48,240 --> 01:05:51,520
Speaker 3: could take punishment and have success and keep coming. I

1409
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:53,520
Speaker 3: mean even Curtis Blades in that first fight, his face

1410
01:05:53,560 --> 01:05:55,480
Speaker 3: fell apart when he tried it, you know, with the

1411
01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,880
Speaker 3: success on the ground, like, no one's been able to

1412
01:05:57,920 --> 01:06:02,200
Speaker 3: survive that except for Steepe. We look him as like superhero, superhuman,

1413
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 3: and then in the rematch he's still got said to hell.

1414
01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,280
Speaker 3: I mean that's the way, you know, So I think

1415
01:06:07,280 --> 01:06:11,880
Speaker 3: Fador because you know, I've watched him get scorpioned and

1416
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:14,280
Speaker 3: then get right up and win the fight. Luke, I've

1417
01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 3: realized that this man is not of normal you know,

1418
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:23,000
Speaker 3: body response to pain, that his cyborg level of absurdity

1419
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 3: could maybe keep a minute longer in my head, but

1420
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,480
Speaker 3: even my head would get set to hell by Frank

1421
01:06:28,520 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 3: and Ganho right now, Luke, this is a uh, this

1422
01:06:31,240 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 3: is just a nasty creation of like like the look

1423
01:06:36,080 --> 01:06:38,120
Speaker 3: like I'm you know, I'm sure Francis has given a

1424
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 3: lot of good to the world in as many years,

1425
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 3: and his stories very inspirational, but this was a tool

1426
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:46,120
Speaker 3: that God created that is very, very violent and it

1427
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:46,880
Speaker 3: does bad things.

1428
01:06:46,960 --> 01:06:52,720
Speaker 1: Luke from Rare Dubai Collector. What would it take for

1429
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:56,720
Speaker 1: you two to completely switch facial hair styles? Luke shaves

1430
01:06:56,720 --> 01:06:59,440
Speaker 1: his beard completely, although BC has facial hair of a

1431
01:06:59,600 --> 01:07:02,480
Speaker 1: thirteen year old, but he's got some and Brian grows

1432
01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 1: his hair like Luke's look.

1433
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't think we're actually that far off.

1434
01:07:07,680 --> 01:07:09,120
Speaker 1: I mean you have, We're not that far apart.

1435
01:07:09,200 --> 01:07:12,240
Speaker 3: No beard, but we both like him high and tight

1436
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,240
Speaker 3: and also both get similar hairstyles.

1437
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 1: Luke, Yeah, we're more alike than we like to admit. Unfortunately,

1438
01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 1: you just.

1439
01:07:20,400 --> 01:07:22,600
Speaker 4: Refuse to die them locks, Luke.

1440
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: And you know what you are many and you contain multitudes,

1441
01:07:26,840 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 1: Brian Campbell, Did you know that?

1442
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 3: No?

1443
01:07:29,960 --> 01:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Uh, what would it take for you to have a

1444
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:32,640
Speaker 1: big ass beard like me? Not much?

1445
01:07:32,720 --> 01:07:36,360
Speaker 3: Right, No, I can't grow it. That's why I don't

1446
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 3: flirt with it. It gets Yeah, I look. I mean

1447
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 3: I was one of those people who didn't have to shave,

1448
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 3: like actually shaved with shaving cream until I was like

1449
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 3: nineteen or twenty, because they just there's just not a

1450
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 3: lot going on, Luke. Okay, you know what I used

1451
01:07:49,360 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 3: to do. So I had a date my senior year

1452
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 3: in high school, Luke, and I was working at McDonald's

1453
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 3: at the time, and they had no facial hair below

1454
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,040
Speaker 3: the lip top lip rule. But you know, I was

1455
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 3: really going somewhere with my goatee and I had this

1456
01:08:01,520 --> 01:08:04,479
Speaker 3: big date coming up, so I considered calling in sick,

1457
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:07,080
Speaker 3: but ultimately I just took two band aids and covered it, Luke,

1458
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:09,320
Speaker 3: and worked a shift at the register. Do you know

1459
01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:12,120
Speaker 3: how like low class that decision was in hindsight?

1460
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, hey, hey jack Off working behind the register,

1461
01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:22,760
Speaker 1: can you chin bleed until my falleo fish.

1462
01:08:21,240 --> 01:08:23,640
Speaker 3: It's you know, looking back, it's not mutch of a

1463
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 3: heroic story, Luke, Okay. Do you know we also had

1464
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:27,800
Speaker 3: at McDonald that didn't mean to turn this into room

1465
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 3: service diaries, but we had managers that were so angry

1466
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:32,200
Speaker 3: about the shaving rule. And you know a lot of

1467
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 3: guys would come in with the five o'clock shadow that

1468
01:08:34,479 --> 01:08:36,800
Speaker 3: they'd yell at you to go to the med kit.

1469
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:39,920
Speaker 3: And we had a community razor and it was a

1470
01:08:40,120 --> 01:08:43,719
Speaker 3: used shaving razor without any shaving cream, and they expected

1471
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 3: you to just go in the back and shave off

1472
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,680
Speaker 3: your beard with it, and many many employees did.

1473
01:08:47,760 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 4: Luke, that's uh, that's some Uh yeah, that's.

1474
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,719
Speaker 1: A They didn't do that at Chick fil A. We didn't.

1475
01:08:54,880 --> 01:08:58,320
Speaker 3: We didn't have that all right, because they they would

1476
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 3: say they wanted to send you home, but the reality

1477
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 3: was we needed the bodies. Luke okay. So that's why

1478
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 3: the community razor became a necessity.

1479
01:09:06,200 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 4: When did when I mean good thing, we didn't have

1480
01:09:09,120 --> 01:09:10,040
Speaker 4: the community condom.

1481
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:14,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, Luke, I'm you know.

1482
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 1: Sometimes sometimes share things, sometimes you got to share things.

1483
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:22,080
Speaker 1: Sharing is caring, all right, last, but not Lea's from

1505
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:16,519
Speaker 1: done really important work, some political work. They went to

01:10:16,760 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 1: some of the places in the West Bank or Gaza,

1507
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure which one of the two, but where

1508
01:10:22,240 --> 01:10:24,559
Speaker 1: israelis and policitians are separated by a wall, and then

1509
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:27,160

1514
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:39,400
Speaker 1: of a pop art craze. We had a lot of imitators.

Speaker 1: narrate excuse me an overlapping documentary, Oh. The documentary explores

1548
01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 1: where the line is between what is real and what

1549
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:20,080
Speaker 1: might be fake blurs as modern art and celebrity are

1550
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 1: put under the microscope.

1551
01:12:21,840 --> 01:12:23,760
Speaker 3: That sounds a lot like what should have been the

1552
01:12:23,800 --> 01:12:26,640
Speaker 3: tagline for our second doc, Luke, because we blurred that

1553
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 3: same line.

1616
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,920
Speaker 3: Uh what's his first name? Last name's Nallo Mandel. All Right,

1617
01:15:41,960 --> 01:15:43,600
Speaker 3: I got a lot to say. First of all, he

1618
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:46,320
Speaker 3: sent Ricky sejas to.

1619
01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,720
Speaker 1: To If you've not seen this, it's on YouTube. You

1620
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 1: can go and look. BC. I don't think he missed

1621
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:55,240
Speaker 1: a punch, and every punch he landed had authority behind it.

1622
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:59,000
Speaker 3: It was sharp, accurate and powerful, and I mean he

1623
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 3: beat the piss out of this guy.

1624
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,320
Speaker 4: But the scariest part is watch the walk off.

1625
01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 3: Look. I say this with as much uh you know,

1626
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 3: nice at ease as I can.

1627
01:16:08,320 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 4: That's sociopath level behavior.

1628
01:16:10,280 --> 01:16:12,559
Speaker 3: I mean he just walked off like all right, uh

1629
01:16:12,680 --> 01:16:14,320
Speaker 3: you know what, time's wapping around you know what I

1630
01:16:14,360 --> 01:16:18,200
Speaker 3: mean that this guy is a stone cold killer and

1631
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:19,360
Speaker 3: he's a creeper too.

1632
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 4: Look, I love me some rat garbage, right yeah.

1633
01:16:22,240 --> 01:16:26,760
Speaker 1: Rat garbage is like legitimately an incredibly interesting person. He

1634
01:16:26,880 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 1: has an unusual name, an unusual look. But when it's time,

1635
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 1: look at this liter, at this fool this guy was

1636
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,200
Speaker 1: you think this guy was back in your groceries or something.

1637
01:16:35,240 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's you know, in the park having coffee

1638
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:41,759
Speaker 1: or something like you'd find him at a yoga studio before.

1639
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:43,760
Speaker 1: You'd find him at an MMA gym and he will

1640
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: fuck you up. He is.

1641
01:16:45,560 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 3: His neighbors are like, we never saw it coming. The

1642
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:50,320
Speaker 3: mass murders. He was such a nice guy. He did

1643
01:16:50,400 --> 01:16:53,439
Speaker 3: yoga in the backyard every day. Yes, no, I'm a stay. Yes.

1644
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:55,640
Speaker 1: And he just stretches. It looks like he stretches in

1645
01:16:55,680 --> 01:16:58,360
Speaker 1: the morning, just bayly twisting a rabbit's head completely off

1646
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:01,720
Speaker 1: its body, you know, like dude, like that's how you

1647
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 1: open a pickle jar.

1648
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:05,160
Speaker 3: He just goes, all right, if I secure an interview,

1649
01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,040
Speaker 3: will you appear in this interview, Luke, I think we

1650
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,800
Speaker 3: need hundred Okay, in.

1651
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,479
Speaker 1: All seriousness, he's Faraza hobby trained, so he's out of

1652
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 1: I think he's out of Trystar. He he might be

1653
01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 1: the real deal. Belator's prelim cards are more like boxing

1654
01:17:19,400 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: prelim cards, where you know they're just filling it up

1655
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: sometimes or guys will have one fight deals or they'll

1656
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:27,840
Speaker 1: actually be fighting for another promoter that's regional, and then

1657
01:17:27,840 --> 01:17:29,719
Speaker 1: they'll just have them on the card to like sell tickets.

1658
01:17:29,720 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: That's less so for this last one because they're in

1659
01:17:31,439 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: the bubble. But historically speaking that's been the case. But

1660
01:17:35,160 --> 01:17:36,879
Speaker 1: This looks to me like a guy on the prelims

1661
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:38,920
Speaker 1: that they were giving. He's fought a belt o before

1662
01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: that they're given a real tryout to because he looks good.

1663
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: He's a good Paul.

1664
01:17:44,360 --> 01:17:47,840
Speaker 3: I mean that was an ass kicking. You mentioned regional Mma, Luke.

1665
01:17:47,880 --> 01:17:50,479
Speaker 3: You know anything can happen there. So let's do a

1666
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,480
Speaker 3: nice little roundup. How about we start with c FFL

Speaker 3: choke is this? Luke?

1676
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:17,480
Speaker 1: High elbow guillotine?

1677
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 3: Good God?

1678
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:21,760
Speaker 1: Then he lets it. Yeah, now it's yeah, it's still

1679
01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,639
Speaker 1: high up. Well now it's just a regular guillotine. Before

1680
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:26,000
Speaker 1: it was high elbow. Dude.

1681
01:18:26,040 --> 01:18:28,479
Speaker 3: He but cheatah he John Jones on the cheetad him

1682
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,639
Speaker 3: right there. He just left the dead body hanging. Luke.

1683
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that was. He tried to turn out of it,

1684
01:18:33,439 --> 01:18:35,719
Speaker 1: and then he stops to turn, and then he comes

1685
01:18:35,880 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: back around bellied out, and then it just becomes a

1686
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: regular guillotine. Yeah, it's high elbow. Your reason why so

1687
01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:43,799
Speaker 1: that the person can't fight it? You actually put the elbow.

1688
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:46,800
Speaker 3: I mean that's kind of a late stopish that look

1689
01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:48,559
Speaker 3: that he could have killed the guy, right.

1690
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:50,880
Speaker 1: I mean if he held it for a few more

1691
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:54,920
Speaker 1: minutes or something. No. Yeah, yeah, that's not great.

1692
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,040
Speaker 3: That's not great. It's not great. Well, sometimes they get

1693
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 3: revenge on the refs, Luke. Check out the dude after

1694
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:05,200
Speaker 3: the TapouT loss on the regional scene. Uh, sorry, not

1695
01:19:05,240 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 3: a tap out after the stoppage. This guy's not done fighting, Luke.

1696
01:19:09,680 --> 01:19:13,360
Speaker 1: Oh god, oh god, that's like kind of in there

1697
01:19:13,400 --> 01:19:13,880
Speaker 1: a little bit.

1698
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 4: He's taping, Luke.

1699
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a little revenge against the authority.

1700
01:19:18,360 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 1: Right. Oh man, Yeah, you know what, actually did it

1701
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:23,280
Speaker 1: pretty well too.

1702
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was a championship. Sorry, that's not regional mma, Luke,

1703
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:29,280
Speaker 3: that's one championship. A lot of weird shit will happen

1704
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 3: in that ring there.

1705
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 1: Wow, he gets a stretch on the leg, but he

1706
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: doesn't like he's doing like a knee bar, but like

1707
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:35,519
Speaker 1: with a heel hook grip. It's weird.

1708
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:39,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, indeed, all right, let's go over to a fame mma. Luke,

1709
01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:41,759
Speaker 3: did you see this cringey way in? What is going

1710
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 3: on here?

1711
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: Aren't these like you're kind of you know.

1712
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:51,040
Speaker 4: Okay, but watching you, I don't understand her, Luke, She's scared.

1713
01:19:51,160 --> 01:19:55,719
Speaker 1: Like her tattoos. No, I like her tattoos.

1714
01:19:55,720 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 3: They're nice, okay, but watch the behavior. It's very.

1715
01:20:01,240 --> 01:20:02,360
Speaker 1: They have the same face.

1716
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:08,120
Speaker 3: I don't understand it.

1717
01:20:08,840 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 1: They have the same face.

1718
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:11,880
Speaker 3: I kind of like it though.

1719
01:20:12,120 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: Do they all get surgery at the same place?

1720
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,600
Speaker 4: Actually, I think I like it a lot.

1721
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:24,240
Speaker 1: I think I think they get surgery at the same spot. Bro.

1722
01:20:25,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's some Uh, that's some serious ink there too, Luke.

1723
01:20:28,160 --> 01:20:30,479
Speaker 3: But all right, I'm done with this. It's it's not

1724
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,480
Speaker 3: scaring me. I've come the full gamut of her faces.

1725
01:20:36,880 --> 01:20:37,719
Speaker 1: It's not normal.

1726
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:40,280
Speaker 3: Let's let's check in with older broads. Let's find out

1727
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:41,640
Speaker 3: what a boela is up to you. Oh, she went

1728
01:20:41,720 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 3: to the mall today, Luke in DC to uh try

1729
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:45,200
Speaker 3: to get you a birthday gift.

1730
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 1: Oh that's what my dude. This is what my you know, dude,

1731
01:20:51,320 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: old people and kids are the same. Yes, this is

1732
01:20:53,960 --> 01:20:56,840
Speaker 1: what my kid does. She just walks without looking and

1733
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 1: then falls down, you know. Oh, like, dude, her walking

1734
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:03,120
Speaker 1: is like the perfect example of inertia because once she's

1735
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:04,639
Speaker 1: in motion, Bro, she just goes.

1736
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 3: Check out this dude in the red shirt behind the ball,

1737
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:07,320
Speaker 3: just kind of watching.

1738
01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's like, oh you all right, you're dead lady,

1739
01:21:10,360 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: Oh you're dead? All right?

1740
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:14,080
Speaker 3: Well, Luke. Later in the day it got worse for

1741
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:16,160
Speaker 3: a Boila. She was trying to catch the bus after

1742
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 3: she dried off, and uh, this didn't This didn't end right, dude.

1743
01:21:21,760 --> 01:21:26,400
Speaker 1: No one, no one loves elder abuse more than you.

1744
01:21:27,880 --> 01:21:31,720
Speaker 1: I've never seen someone I can't keep his pants on

1745
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,040
Speaker 1: when old people are getting wrecked.

1746
01:21:35,479 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 3: Well, Luke, lets let's go out to the motorbike scene.

1747
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:39,880
Speaker 3: Check out this dickhead on the back of the scooter.

1748
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Luke. Oh, no, he's not going to drive off, is he?

1749
01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 1: Oh Jesus, Well you know what, now he can listen

1750
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:52,519
Speaker 1: to satellite radio.

1751
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:54,400
Speaker 3: Oh they're on their way to church too. That's a

1752
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 3: bad look, Luke. That's not good all right? Oh, Luke.

1753
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of this Russian combat league called

1754
01:22:00,479 --> 01:22:04,519
Speaker 3: Thermo Pilat Team Combat in Russia? Have you ever seen

1755
01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 3: this shit?

1756
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 1: Luke, I've seen combat, Mma, Yes, I like how this

1757
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,040
Speaker 1: either either. They just said, you know what, COVID can

1758
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: just take us all or this is from a few

1759
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 1: years ago.

1760
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,360
Speaker 4: Well, here's the premise, Luke. It's four on four team

1761
01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:21,320
Speaker 4: combat they call it TTC, and you fight elimination style

1762
01:22:21,439 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 4: until you defeat the other team. And it's inspired by

1763
01:22:25,280 --> 01:22:28,639
Speaker 4: the Battle of Thermo Pilat, which took place in four

1764
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,640
Speaker 4: eighty b C. For all you historians, which the the

1765
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:37,480
Speaker 4: film The Three Hundred Spartans is based on Luke Thermopoli

1766
01:22:37,960 --> 01:22:38,839
Speaker 4: Thermo Pilat.

1767
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,080
Speaker 3: I prefer that pronunciation. But would you watch this? I

1768
01:22:42,120 --> 01:22:44,280
Speaker 3: know we've seen Team MMA before out of Europe. They're

1769
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:45,320
Speaker 3: crazy out there, they're crazy.

1770
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I watch is not really

1771
01:22:48,160 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: a high bar. So yes, but that doesn't tell you that, Like,

1772
01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 1: I think it's good.

1773
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 3: That's a small ring bro. That's a narrow piece of

1774
01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 3: a shoebox.

1775
01:22:58,160 --> 01:22:59,719
Speaker 1: It's a it's a shoebox for shack.

1776
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is all right. Hey, it's Scorpion King. Tryouts

1783
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 3: Uh playing. When you play beach football, you gotta die

1784
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 3: for it, right, you gotta try to impress the ladies.

1785

Speaker 3: Well, let's keep on going on this this trend, Luke.

1791
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 3: I think they refer to this as natural selection in

1792
01:23:55,560 --> 01:24:00,520
Speaker 3: the white community.

1793
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:04,880

1802
01:24:37,800 --> 01:24:41,639
Speaker 1: inch of that punch? That dude bounced off the ropes,

1803
01:24:42,240 --> 01:24:46,080
Speaker 1: ricocheted forward and slammed everything he had into that.

1804
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:50,600
Speaker 4: It took his how it took his soul away.

1805
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:51,760
Speaker 1: And he got his head off the center line, and

1806
01:24:51,800 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: he got his off the center line. Well done.

1807
01:24:53,960 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 3: All right, we gotta get something positive. Let's let's check

1808
01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 3: out the slam dunks of the week. Luke, check out

1809
01:24:58,200 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 3: this Raptors fan on ice sk I need you to

1810
01:25:00,880 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 3: judge this. I know you know, one to fifty score.

1811
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 3: Here we go.

1812
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 1: I do love Canadians.

1813
01:25:10,560 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 3: Oh, high degree of difficulty here, Luke.

1814
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: Okay, this is very cool.

1815
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 3: So far.

1816
01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 4: Ah kind of threw it in though.

1817
01:25:22,320 --> 01:25:25,519
Speaker 1: Right, yeah, yeah, he almost stuck it. I mean, here's

1818
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: the thing. I'll give him a ten out of ten

1819
01:25:27,200 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 1: for the spirit of the challenge, but I got to

1820
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 1: give it an eight out of ten because as hard

1821
01:25:33,040 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: as it is, you do have to stick it if

1822
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: you sign up for the challenge.

1823
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:39,040
Speaker 3: It's very reminiscent of Dwight Howard when he put on

1824
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,160
Speaker 3: the Superman cape and he caught that lob and he

1825
01:25:41,240 --> 01:25:43,360
Speaker 3: basically just threw it in because he jumped from like,

1826
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,720

Speaker 3: a lot in the show.

1878
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,320

Speaker 1: person's posture or their chest or the gross nipples.

1888
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:49,240

Speaker 3: Did you see this?

1904
01:29:26,160 --> 01:29:28,160
Speaker 1: See? Have you ever been to a firing range?

1905
01:29:28,479 --> 01:29:29,000

Speaker 3: You and to boy, you got the right music for it,

1911
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:46,559
Speaker 3: all right? And then then they went to the restaurant meets.

1912
01:29:46,560 --> 01:29:47,280
Speaker 3: You got the next time you.

1913
01:29:47,680 --> 01:29:48,439
Speaker 1: Ever fired a gun?

1914
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:52,360
Speaker 3: Uh? No, I've never fired. I don't like firearms, Luke. Okay,

1915
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:53,160
Speaker 3: I'm not a real gun guy.

1916
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: Does that mean I don't like firearms?

1917
01:29:55,520 --> 01:29:58,400
Speaker 3: Uh? I don't feel I have a need for them

1918
01:29:58,439 --> 01:29:58,880
Speaker 3: in my life.

1919
01:29:58,920 --> 01:30:01,640
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but I don't have. I don't own any firearms.

1920
01:30:01,640 --> 01:30:07,240
Speaker 1: But I mean, are you scared of firearms? Yeah?

1921
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd say, I'd say I I don't want to

1922
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:11,160
Speaker 3: own a firearm.

1923
01:30:11,240 --> 01:30:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, you know there's no needles in them, right?

1924
01:30:16,560 --> 01:30:19,080
Speaker 4: Are you lobbying four or against gun control?

1925
01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:20,000
Speaker 3: Secretly? In this world?

1926
01:30:20,080 --> 01:30:22,800
Speaker 1: I am four? I am four gun control, but I

1927
01:30:22,840 --> 01:30:26,200
Speaker 1: am also not one of these folks who like, oh,

1928
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:29,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make views about guns and know nothing about them.

1929
01:30:29,240 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: I've had a life with guns, and because I've had

1930
01:30:31,800 --> 01:30:33,479
Speaker 1: a life with guns, I really think that they should

1931
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:36,559
Speaker 1: be more highly regulated. That being said, I also enjoy

1932
01:30:36,600 --> 01:30:38,719
Speaker 1: firing them at the shooting range in a safe environment.

1933
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:42,640
Speaker 1: And I'm taking your ass to go shoot.

1934
01:30:43,160 --> 01:30:46,520
Speaker 3: If the documentary, if Jake less than Jake the documentarian

1935
01:30:46,600 --> 01:30:49,799
Speaker 3: is there, and we maybe we can draft the chef Chenkos.

1936
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:52,280
Speaker 3: I know would be stealing a bit of you know, copywriting,

1937
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:56,360
Speaker 3: plagiarizing Brett's work. But if this is this man's life work,

1938
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:57,720
Speaker 3: I mean, did you see the picture of them in

1939
01:30:57,760 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 3: the restaurant, Luke just all dolled up? I mean, you

1940
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 3: know Brett's doing well.

1941
01:31:02,400 --> 01:31:05,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, instead of food truck diaries, we can do shooting

1942
01:31:05,120 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 1: gallery diaries.

1943
01:31:07,000 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 3: All right, All right, Well I got one more clip

1944
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,960
Speaker 3: for you, not necessarily related to Brett, but you know,

1945
01:31:12,320 --> 01:31:21,280
Speaker 3: depending what you think about it, Luke, there's like.

1946
01:31:21,360 --> 01:31:23,960
Speaker 1: Here's my impression of Luke watching Red Tube.

1947
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:27,280
Speaker 3: Yes, Brett was like, hold on, sisters, I'm kind of

1948
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:30,679
Speaker 3: going the back for a second. Yeah, right, that's awful,

1949
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:34,479
Speaker 3: That's just awful, great, great, from a great journalist. Okay, Luke,

1950
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 3: that's just a.

1951
01:31:35,439 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Great there's a lot of ranch on your shitty pizza there.

1952
01:31:38,360 --> 01:31:41,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it is. Uh so, Luke. Yeah, you can't.

1953
01:31:41,200 --> 01:31:43,160
Speaker 3: You can't make me own a gun. I don't need

1954
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:43,800
Speaker 3: a four I don't.

1955
01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:45,559
Speaker 1: I don't own a gun. And you can own guns

1956
01:31:45,560 --> 01:31:47,040
Speaker 1: here much more easily than you used to be able

1957
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: to due to some changes in the law.

1958
01:31:49,080 --> 01:31:51,600
Speaker 3: But look, if I didn't believe in my ability to

1959
01:31:51,640 --> 01:31:54,599
Speaker 3: sync that in against you, you know, then maybe I'd

1960
01:31:54,600 --> 01:31:58,840
Speaker 3: consider packing heat, packing some heat. But uh yeah, b.

1961
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:00,639
Speaker 1: See what kind of things would you say you've done

1962
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:01,839
Speaker 1: in your life that are manly?

1963
01:32:04,320 --> 01:32:06,800
Speaker 3: Uh? As just a couple of years ago, I got

1964
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 3: two cars in the garage for the first time.

1965
01:32:08,479 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 1: Luke.

1966
01:32:08,720 --> 01:32:10,680
Speaker 4: That was like one of those moments in life where you.

1967
01:32:10,640 --> 01:32:12,839
Speaker 3: Were like, I made it. I made it, Luke. Okay,

1968
01:32:13,040 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 3: I did a winter without scraping that ship? Is that manly?

1969
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,559
Speaker 3: Or is that is that? Uh? That's regular ship. That's

1970
01:32:18,560 --> 01:32:19,200
Speaker 3: pretty regular.

1971
01:32:19,400 --> 01:32:22,040
Speaker 1: That's that's regular ship. But that's the upper end of

1972
01:32:22,120 --> 01:32:22,679
Speaker 1: regular ship.

1973
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,439
Speaker 3: I chop wood in the spring, Luke, I go out

1974
01:32:25,439 --> 01:32:27,639
Speaker 3: and have an axe. I have an axe. I've got

1975
01:32:27,640 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 3: a uh, what's the other thing that's like an axe,

1976
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,160
Speaker 3: but it you know, what's the word. You know what

1977
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:32,800
Speaker 3: I'm talking about?

1978
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:35,000
Speaker 1: Handle blade? I don't know.

1979
01:32:35,320 --> 01:32:37,920
Speaker 3: Mall. I got an ax. I got a mall. I

1980
01:32:37,960 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 3: got that spike that you put in to break that

1981
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:40,559
Speaker 3: ship up.

1982
01:32:40,560 --> 01:32:43,040
Speaker 1: That's okay, man, okay, okay, okay, okay. But do you

1983
01:32:43,080 --> 01:32:44,639
Speaker 1: have a chainsaw? I do?

1984
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:46,080
Speaker 3: I have a very good chainsaw too.

1985
01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:48,639
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that's something, dude, that's that's pretty good.

1986
01:32:49,000 --> 01:32:52,080
Speaker 3: I bought the industrial strength weed whacker last year and

1987
01:32:53,520 --> 01:32:56,440
Speaker 3: nearly got divorced because of it. I I I accidentally

1988
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:58,479
Speaker 3: killed a lot of things my wife loved in the yard,

1989
01:32:58,560 --> 01:33:03,720
Speaker 3: including uh, plants, flowers. Is Luke, you ever use like

1990
01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:06,320
Speaker 3: the like the kind that like a lawn service business

1991
01:33:06,360 --> 01:33:09,000
Speaker 3: would get, like the not the regular you know at home,

1992
01:33:09,000 --> 01:33:11,439
Speaker 3: we'd whacker. I bought the big one, Luke. Okay, that

1993
01:33:11,479 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 3: thing's out of freaking control. I lose control of it.

1994
01:33:14,840 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 3: It's just like holding a weapon in your arms, Luke.

1995
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,680
Speaker 3: It just starts taking things out.

1996
01:33:18,960 --> 01:33:21,320
Speaker 1: They're asking, are you a rider mower guy or a

1997
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:22,240
Speaker 1: push mower guy.

1998
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:24,880
Speaker 3: I inherited a rider a year and a half ago,

1999
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 3: so yeah, I'm a I'm a rider, die BC.

2000
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:29,559
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you when I was your boys are

2001
01:33:29,560 --> 01:33:31,400
Speaker 1: gonna be thirteen. When I was thirteen, dude, I was

2002
01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:34,400
Speaker 1: definitely mowing the yard.

2003
01:33:34,520 --> 01:33:36,400
Speaker 3: My dad wouldn't let me near the mower because he

2004
01:33:36,439 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 3: assumed I would break it.

2005
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:42,639
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's the worst assumption to give

2006
01:33:42,640 --> 01:33:45,600
Speaker 1: in the facts. But at the same time, when I

2007
01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 1: was thirteen, your boy was, Yeah, I was. I was

2008
01:33:48,040 --> 01:33:50,719
Speaker 1: cropping tobacco at thirteen, much less mowing yards.

2009
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 3: You were cropping tobacco.

2010
01:33:53,160 --> 01:33:54,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what the kids did in the South in

2011
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:55,760
Speaker 1: the summer to make some cash.

2012
01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 3: H Wow, I didn't know that, Luke.

2013
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,280
Speaker 4: You surprise me every day. Hey, Luke, how excited about.

2014
01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,240
Speaker 1: You say weird shit? And when it comes time for

2015
01:34:05,360 --> 01:34:08,840
Speaker 1: us to tally up manly shit, I've done. I got

2016
01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:10,240
Speaker 1: a substantial lead on you.

2017
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:13,160
Speaker 3: Man, I've I've sired two children, Luke.

2018
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:16,080
Speaker 1: Okay, that's true. That's true.

2019
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:19,920
Speaker 3: You have three needles without without you know, with a

2020
01:34:20,120 --> 01:34:22,040
Speaker 3: Vietnam veteran and seventy so only.

2021
01:34:22,840 --> 01:34:24,559
Speaker 1: Did the vaccine hurt? Didn't hurt it all?

2022
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 3: No, that didn't hurt at all. I give that shoulder right. Yeah.

2023
01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 3: I think it's because I am a former COVID sufferer Luke.

2024
01:34:33,040 --> 01:34:35,040
Speaker 3: Remember I had like the COVID eighteen and a half

2025
01:34:35,080 --> 01:34:38,519
Speaker 3: at that early I like the early version of it.

2026
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:42,320
Speaker 3: It triggered me forty eight hours of basically sleep after

2027
01:34:42,360 --> 01:34:43,120
Speaker 3: getting that needle.

2028
01:34:43,200 --> 01:34:45,439
Speaker 1: So, you know, all right, just to wrap up on this,

2029
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:47,800
Speaker 1: because I want to be clear about this. Would you

2030
01:34:47,840 --> 01:34:50,800
Speaker 1: be interested maybe when you come to DC, would you

2031
01:34:50,840 --> 01:34:54,320
Speaker 1: be interested in going like legitimately interested in going to

2032
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 1: a safe, well run, very professional shooting range with me?

2033
01:34:59,320 --> 01:35:02,519
Speaker 3: I would be now, what access to firearms do I have?

2034
01:35:02,680 --> 01:35:02,760
Speaker 1: Like?

2035
01:35:02,800 --> 01:35:03,479
Speaker 3: Do they have great?

2036
01:35:03,680 --> 01:35:06,240
Speaker 1: So with the shooting range, they usually have regulations. Obviously,

2037
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:07,920
Speaker 1: whatever state you're in, you have to comply with the

2038
01:35:07,920 --> 01:35:09,920
Speaker 1: state regulations and that kind of thing. And I think

2039
01:35:10,920 --> 01:35:13,360
Speaker 1: I've never brought my own guns in because I don't

2040
01:35:13,360 --> 01:35:16,120
Speaker 1: own any, so I don't know to what extent you

2041
01:35:16,160 --> 01:35:18,639
Speaker 1: have to demonstrate ownership of firearms that you bring in.

2042
01:35:18,680 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: But you can bring in certain firearms or you can

2043
01:35:21,479 --> 01:35:23,760
Speaker 1: rent what the range has. And what I've found is

2044
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:25,639
Speaker 1: that you know, listen, you want to go, just fire

2045
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 1: a glock seventeen, which is a very basic handgun. You

2046
01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:33,719
Speaker 1: can do that not much recoil, pretty accurate, easy steady trigger,

2047
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,000
Speaker 1: squeeze to the rear. But if you want to get

2048
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:41,080
Speaker 1: like you know, exotic like some Mossbergs or you know

2049
01:35:42,280 --> 01:35:45,760
Speaker 1: something fun, some German Special Forces weapons, you can get

2050
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:48,439
Speaker 1: those too. They're fun to fire because they're silly, like

2051
01:35:48,479 --> 01:35:50,280
Speaker 1: you would never use them, and that you can't even

2052
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:50,920
Speaker 1: buy some of them.

2053
01:35:50,920 --> 01:35:54,919
Speaker 3: Here they have the Desert Eagle hand pistol.

2054
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 1: That the Desert Eagle is not for you. That's not

2055
01:35:57,720 --> 01:35:58,960
Speaker 1: a beginner's.

2056
01:35:59,400 --> 01:36:02,240
Speaker 3: Arnold hand that with ease and commando bro Okay.

2057
01:36:02,600 --> 01:36:04,960
Speaker 1: Yes he did that may or may not have been real.

2058
01:36:05,120 --> 01:36:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't know, but Desert Eagle. We can work up

2059
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 1: to Desert Eagle. I would not start you at Desert Egle.

2060
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 1: I would start you twenty two. What about a nine millimeter.

2061
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:18,719
Speaker 3: Call of Duty and Fortnite with my kids? There's that gun.

2062
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,040
Speaker 3: It's a one shooter from like the eighteen hundreds, and

2063
01:36:21,040 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 3: you got to pipe clean it between shots, you know

2064
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 3: that one.

2065
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 1: It's like a it's a well roud, you know which

2066
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:28,080
Speaker 1: one we're gonna fire. It's politically charged, but it's a

2067
01:36:28,200 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 1: very good weapon. Certainly been sporting well. I wouldn't hunt

2068
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 1: with it, but just to fun a weapon to shoot

2069
01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:37,439
Speaker 1: again in a safe environment. Again, it's politically charged, but

2070
01:36:37,479 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 1: the AR fifteen is actually a very I understand why

2071
01:36:40,240 --> 01:36:43,879
Speaker 1: it's a popular consumer choice even among law abiding citizens.

2072
01:36:43,880 --> 01:36:46,680
Speaker 1: It's easy to handle, it's not too hard to clean, right,

2073
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:49,160
Speaker 1: I have a few questions. Yeah, it's got a very

2074
01:36:49,200 --> 01:36:52,559
Speaker 1: minimal recoil. It's pretty accurate it You know, this.

2075
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:55,120
Speaker 3: Is this one of the are you taking me to

2076
01:36:55,200 --> 01:36:59,519
Speaker 3: an indoor place where there's like a bust of somebody

2077
01:36:59,560 --> 01:37:01,479
Speaker 3: and I'm shuret and like targets on it? And then

2078
01:37:01,479 --> 01:37:03,080
Speaker 3: it comes back to me and I got the thing.

2079
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:05,360
Speaker 3: Are we outside like the Chevchenkos? Which one?

2080
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:08,040
Speaker 1: You know the outside ones are for like, very very

2081
01:37:08,120 --> 01:37:10,240
Speaker 1: like the picture you showed me. They were on top

2082
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,400
Speaker 1: of the humvey firing the fifty cow with the butterfly trigar.

2083
01:37:13,439 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 1: That's cool, but I mean I've done that a million times.

2084
01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:17,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, when you have to carry all

2085
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 1: of the replaceable barrels for the fifty cow, which way,

2086
01:37:22,160 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 1: you know they're just pure steel. Your romantic romantic ideas

2087
01:37:26,720 --> 01:37:29,040
Speaker 1: about the weapons go away pretty quickly because they're fucking

2088
01:37:29,080 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: heavy and you have to hump that shit everywhere. It sucks.

2089
01:37:31,800 --> 01:37:33,439
Speaker 1: So and I was always the guy with the mortars

2090
01:37:33,479 --> 01:37:35,040
Speaker 1: who had to carry like the base plate and shit

2091
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:38,040
Speaker 1: like that. So so I'm not into that. We would

2092
01:37:38,040 --> 01:37:41,120
Speaker 1: go indoor. We'd go indoor. Indoor ranges they're smaller. What

2093
01:37:41,160 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 1: they do is when you.

2094
01:37:42,640 --> 01:37:45,080
Speaker 3: Can you eat while you shoot, because I gotta imagine

2095
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:48,920
Speaker 3: having like eating beef while you shoot things is probably

2096
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:50,160
Speaker 3: a man sandwich, Luke.

2097
01:37:50,600 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 1: I have not been to a range that allows that.

2098
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 1: Usually food consumption would not be a thing you want

2099
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:56,559
Speaker 1: to do. But what you do is you rent like

2100
01:37:56,560 --> 01:37:59,840
Speaker 1: a booth, and you pick whatever weapon you want, and

2101
01:38:01,439 --> 01:38:03,200
Speaker 1: you going to get your target and tar. It can

2102
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:06,120
Speaker 1: be like concentric circles. I have been to some places

2103
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:08,240
Speaker 1: that were like you know, had been Lauden, You could

2104
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:10,760
Speaker 1: take Ben Laudden off the wall, you know whatever. Uh,

2105
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 1: and then whatever silhouette and you want you attache.

2106
01:38:14,520 --> 01:38:16,360
Speaker 3: Can you play pie punch co host there? Do they

2107
01:38:16,360 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 3: have that option?

2108
01:38:17,800 --> 01:38:20,360
Speaker 1: Yeah? You run it, you run it back and then

2109
01:38:20,439 --> 01:38:22,040
Speaker 1: you can fire whatever how much you have to buy

2110
01:38:22,040 --> 01:38:23,640
Speaker 1: the amount of rounds that you want to shoot, you

2111
01:38:23,680 --> 01:38:26,080
Speaker 1: know as well, which can get expensive, but uh, and

2112
01:38:26,080 --> 01:38:27,800
Speaker 1: then you just bring it forward. You can see how

2113
01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:29,760
Speaker 1: you shot and stuff like that. Very basic, very fun.

2114
01:38:29,880 --> 01:38:32,559
Speaker 1: There's your range safety officer there the whole time. It's cool,

2115
01:38:33,439 --> 01:38:34,040
Speaker 1: all right.

2116
01:38:34,439 --> 01:38:36,600
Speaker 3: I'd be willing to try under the auspices of the

2117
01:38:37,040 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 3: documentary b C and d C, which, look, you know

2118
01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:45,639
Speaker 3: it's very it's rare, right that that that sequels can

2119
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:48,120
Speaker 3: out do you know the first one in terms of

2120
01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:51,160
Speaker 3: you know, commercial success. But how about critical right, it's

2121
01:38:51,200 --> 01:38:55,240
Speaker 3: you know we're talking about Godfather too at Empire strikes back? Right, Well,

2122
01:38:55,280 --> 01:38:58,479
Speaker 3: we've already done that with the MK DONK two point zero.

2123
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:01,880
Speaker 3: I would have to believe BC and DC would be

2124
01:39:01,920 --> 01:39:05,519
Speaker 3: an advanced sellout, Luke, you'd be the The amount of

2125
01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:09,000
Speaker 3: anticipation for this would be through the roof, Luke. It

2126
01:39:09,080 --> 01:39:11,479
Speaker 3: might even get you excited about this project.

2127
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:14,880
Speaker 1: It might if you come to d C and you

2128
01:39:14,960 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 1: come to the firing range, I'll be all in, I'll

2129
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:20,719
Speaker 1: be all and we're gonna lift in my front yard

2130
01:39:21,439 --> 01:39:24,000

2132
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:28,840
Speaker 1: with a tattoo in Richmond? How about that?

2133
01:39:28,960 --> 01:39:32,519
Speaker 3: Do you want to have a two man insurrection anywhere? No?

2134
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:34,920
Speaker 1: Those don't turn out too well for people. I've noticed

2135
01:39:34,960 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 1: they go badly, they go real badly. I'll skip that. Okay.

2136
01:39:39,720 --> 01:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Have you seen anything for odds and ends? Some don't

2137
01:39:41,080 --> 01:39:45,920
Speaker 1: think we had anything tremendous rods No, No, how about

2138
01:39:45,920 --> 01:39:50,920
Speaker 1: Alessio d Courico versus Roman d' lezi the Georgian Guy

2139
01:39:51,320 --> 01:39:52,120
Speaker 1: event on June fifth.

2140
01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in on that. I'm a big Dick Rigo fan.

2141
01:39:54,360 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, he got mad at the media. Last

2142
01:39:57,920 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 1: time he did.

2143
01:39:59,360 --> 01:40:01,120
Speaker 3: He got very up. It was a good win though

2144
01:40:01,120 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 3: for him.

2145
01:40:02,520 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: Okay, see, we have to wrap things up here. Yeah,

2146
01:40:05,360 --> 01:40:06,880
Speaker 1: we don't want to say about last week. Anything you

2147
01:40:06,920 --> 01:40:08,439
Speaker 1: want to anybody, you want to thank, anything you want

2148
01:40:08,439 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 1: to say.

2149
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:10,960
Speaker 3: You know, I think I said what needed to be

2150
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,320
Speaker 3: said during our streams, but I did want to thank

2151
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:15,880
Speaker 3: you know, all of our great fans for consuming that

2152
01:40:16,040 --> 01:40:17,720
Speaker 3: much content. It was a big week for what we

2153
01:40:17,800 --> 01:40:20,240
Speaker 3: do here on MK and Showtime and the launch of

2154
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:22,200
Speaker 3: Belator of course, and uh, you.

2155
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 4: Know, I had a lot of fun Luke blowing that

2156
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 4: shit out.

2157
01:40:24,240 --> 01:40:28,439
Speaker 3: And obviously we also recorded a preview show from from

2158
01:40:28,439 --> 01:40:30,759
Speaker 3: the nice restaurant there that people can check on YouTube

2159
01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:33,719
Speaker 3: right now under the show Showtime Sports channel. The Road

2160
01:40:33,800 --> 01:40:36,600
Speaker 3: to Belatoor Light Heavyweight Grand Prix, which is sort of

2161
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:39,240
Speaker 3: an extension of the work that we did ahead of

2162
01:40:39,240 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 3: the launch of these cards. But I had so much

2163
01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 3: fun last week. The proximity, Luke, the passion, the chemistry,

2164
01:40:46,439 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 3: you know, doing these zooms. It's just you know, it's

2165
01:40:49,520 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 3: it's it feels like a long distance relationship right now, Luke.

2166
01:40:52,280 --> 01:40:54,559
Speaker 3: It feels like a like a like a chore, like

2167
01:40:54,600 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 3: a hassle.

2168
01:40:55,400 --> 01:40:55,599
Speaker 1: Luke.

2169
01:40:55,680 --> 01:40:59,840
Speaker 3: Okay, So you know, if I'm extra cringey or nonperform

2170
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:02,760
Speaker 3: in the next few shows, you know, I know I

2171
01:41:02,760 --> 01:41:04,880
Speaker 3: have a vacation coming up, so that will give me

2172
01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:08,040
Speaker 3: a chance to recharge. But Luke, you may have to

2173
01:41:08,080 --> 01:41:10,760
Speaker 3: move north because if you this show has potential to

2174
01:41:10,840 --> 01:41:12,200
Speaker 3: take over the world.

2175
01:41:12,680 --> 01:41:14,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to move north, but I have to

2176
01:41:14,200 --> 01:41:17,160
Speaker 1: tell you, after doing all those shows last week, it's

2177
01:41:17,200 --> 01:41:19,800
Speaker 1: like the first time you get back in studio, you're like, oh, well,

2178
01:41:19,920 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 1: of course that'll be great because you haven't been in

2179
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,160
Speaker 1: the studio. And the second time you get back, we

2180
01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: get back for like the McGregor warning, You're like, okay,

2181
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,080
Speaker 1: but maybe it's just the McGregor thing. Now we got

2182
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:30,719
Speaker 1: back for you know, the debut of Bell Torn showtime,

2183
01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:33,280
Speaker 1: and it's like, Dude, every time we get back in

2184
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:37,720
Speaker 1: that studio, it's just a complete this is this is MK,

2185
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:41,040
Speaker 1: but that that's MK. The thing in the studio is MK.

2186
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: This is the best week. I mean, we're lucky to

2187
01:41:43,120 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: have this, to be clear, But is at.

2188
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 3: The equivalent, Luke, of when you're a kid and your

2189
01:41:47,880 --> 01:41:49,719
Speaker 3: mom and dad take you on vacation of the lake

2190
01:41:49,760 --> 01:41:52,840
Speaker 3: House and you overhear them going, you know what, we

2191
01:41:53,000 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 3: long for this place all year? We work hard. We

2192
01:41:55,680 --> 01:41:58,599
Speaker 3: just can't wait to get to this place. Why always

2193
01:41:58,720 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 3: move here? Right? Why don't we just live on the

2194
01:42:01,400 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 3: water every single day? I'll quit my job, whatever it takes.

2195
01:42:04,920 --> 01:42:06,800
Speaker 3: You want me to sell hot dogs on the street

2196
01:42:06,840 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 3: to make ends meet. What if we woke up to

2197
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:13,559
Speaker 3: this paradise every single day and felt this way? Right?

2198
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:16,080
Speaker 3: You ever? What you One day, Luke, you're gonna have

2199
01:42:16,080 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 3: to look into my eyes and come to terms with

2200
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:20,920
Speaker 3: that decision. You know, are you gonna? Are you gonna

2201
01:42:20,960 --> 01:42:23,000
Speaker 3: risk it all and move to the Lakehouse with me?

2202
01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:27,120
