131
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: a young j Check once said, of course that brett

132
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: O Komodo is the best looking at the major journalist.

133
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 2: I don't know where you fit in that list. I

134
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 2: don't care Luke thinks I want to bang all my

135
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: friends in MMA unless you can make one fifteen Jed,

136
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: this is not the direction I'm looking to go. I

137
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: am here to tell you though off the top, we

138
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: got a great show. Let's hit it right here. Segment

139
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: number one our weekend review and topic number one. Yeah

140
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: it's UFC Vegas. They were back in the Apex over

141
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: the weekend in Las Vegas, a welterweight five round man

142
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,719
Speaker 2: evd Vicente Luk scoring a unanimous decision over the always

143
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 2: tough thirty eight year old former lightweight champion Hafiel Do Sancho.

144
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: So what did Luke overcome here? Jed? How about a

145
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: one year layoff, a two fight losing skid, and of

146
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: course that very scary about with the career threatening brain bleed,

147
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 2: which Luk did say after the fight he thanked God

148
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: for essentially a miraculous recovery. Well, did we see a

149
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: new Luca or not? He wasn't the silent assassin and

150
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: the violent nature. He was very grappling heavy. So let's

151
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 2: start out right here, Jed Michu. The new Vicente Luke

152
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: a necessary evolution with this grinding style, or did you

153
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: see a guy a bit gun shy after some legitimately

154
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: scary turns leading up to this return?

155
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 3: Maybe both? I mean Lucaka came out basically and said

156
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: it afterwards, like that first round he was he was concerned,

157
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: which why wouldn't you be Your brain was bleeding like that.

158
00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: I am not a medical doctor. Feels like when the

159
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: words Blaine, brain hemorrhage get brought in, something not all

160
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: that kosher is going down. So I think he certainly

161
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: was a little skittish. I'm not sure that this is

162
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 3: like a stylistic evolution of his though, Like really kind

163
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: of just felt like the fight played out that way,

164
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: Like he he came in and wasn't really looking to grapple,

165
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 3: but then Rdia was so intent on it, and every

166
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: time Rda would initiate, Luk was being able to turn

167
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,239
Speaker 3: him and have success, and it kind of just felt

168
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:30,559
Speaker 3: to me at least like, okay here, I'm just gonna

169
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 3: go with the flow here. This is a way forward,

170
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 3: not his typical most exciting you know, vacine. Luca is

171
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 3: an action fighter par excellence or whatever, but to get

172
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: back in the win column coming off a year and

173
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 3: a serious medical scare. I'm reserving judgment on any grand

174
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 3: grand statements about where Luka is in his career, but

175
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: solid performance. I hope he doesn't become Luke the Grappler,

176
00:08:55,360 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 3: because he's super fun but very very very solid way.

177
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 3: If nothing, Yeah, this was.

178
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 2: A decent fight. It didn't have the fireworks spectaculars that

179
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: we thought. And while you reserved the right to not

180
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: necessarily need to give a definitive hot take, that's also

181
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 2: what you're paid for, Jed, so believe I'm gonna tee

182
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: up for a second with one. But I did want

183
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,440
Speaker 2: to say Luke did score a career high eight takedowns,

184
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 2: and I think it was very clear stylistically that he

185
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: took advantage of the size advantage our da going back

186
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 2: to welterway, trying to reinvent himself and came in in

187
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: such sick killer shape. I mean, who is there anybody

188
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 2: in this game that we should respect more than our da.

189
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: I mean, he is the ultimate gangster, will fight anybody

190
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 2: any time. But I liked what Luk actually did leaning

191
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: on the strengths in this particular matchup. It's just look

192
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: at thirty one. This was a big hill to climb

193
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: to come back into a five rounmin event, all that time, off,

194
00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 2: all the questions, two losses at the highest level, So

195
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,080
Speaker 2: I do have to put you on the spot to

196
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: make a definitive statement. Did Luka show you enough to

197
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 2: believe in what he said afterwards that he believes he's

198
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 2: ready to put together a run, that he learned from

199
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: those two losses, and that maybe I don't want to

200
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: see heavy Luk. This fight was good, but it wasn't great.

201
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 2: But maybe do you think a merged style moving forward

202
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: for a guy who's always dangerous on the ground but

203
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: loves to walk into traffic could lead him back to

204
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: the top of the walsweight rankings.

205
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 3: No, he is not getting back to the top of

206
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: the welterweight rankings, and that's okay. I get it. He

207
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 3: wants to be that guy, like every fighter has those aspirations.

208
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 3: This is not gonna happen for him, and that's that's

209
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: not I don't mean that as like to offend him

210
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: or whatever, but we know what he is. Like he's

211
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 3: thirty one. Maybe he can make some late career super change.

212
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 3: But two years ago or whatever, bal Mohammad rinsed him.

213
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 3: I g the fight was not competitive, and balal Mohammed

214
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: is very very good. Obviously, I'm not sure Balo Mohammad

215
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: is the best wrestler in this division, and if he is,

216
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,680
Speaker 3: it's not by a lot. Like the top of this

217
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 3: division doesn't match up well for him. And then even

218
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 3: against the guys that you would think that maybe he

219
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: could make a Jeff Neil. I don't want to say

220
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 3: killed him because we know what happened with the brain

221
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: bleed again, but I just see no path forward for him.

222
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 3: This division is getting younger and better. He has a

223
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: lot of miles on him, and he already failed to

224
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: climb the mountain basically, so unless something really dramatic happens, this.

225
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 2: Is where he is.

226
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 3: He's a top ten, top fifteen guy, usually incredibly exciting,

227
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 3: gonna win more than he loses, but he's probably never

228
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 3: going to fight for a title, much less win one

229
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 3: I'm a little surprised.

230
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: That the definitive statement out of you jed the guy's

231
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: thirty one, So he's got four years before Luke Thomas

232
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: drops that stat on him. How you can't win a

233
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 2: title at Weltz wait a below or above thirty five.

234
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's mentioned that forty nine times,

235
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: but ad nausea will be a good hashtag to put

236
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 2: next to that. But when you look at this top

237
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: ten at welterweight, we certainly have future risers, hammers that

238
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: are coming from the standpoint of rockmanoff and obviously Muhammad's

239
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 2: on the doorstep of finally having his big moment. But

240
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 2: you've got the older guard that could be going that way,

241
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: meaning of Gilbert Burns wonder boy. You know, questions about

242
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 2: Sean Brady who's at number nine. There some solid guys

243
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 2: in and around that. Ariser and Ian Gary could have

244
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: a big moment this weekend. You don't think this stylistically,

245
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 2: adding this commitment to wrestling could be a thing that

246
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: I do, because look what if you asked me before

247
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: this in the past, what was keeping Vicente Luke from

248
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: the top, I would have told you that it was

249
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 2: he's too much in love with walking into traffic. He's

250
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 2: too much in love with making wars when at the

251
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 2: highest level that is not consistently how big fights are won.

252
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: I actually liked this evolution to his game and thought,

253
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 2: going twenty five hard minutes against a proven tough out

254
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: like this, it showed me something. Jed, you're not feeling

255
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: that moving forward at well?

256
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 3: Through it, I'm not And for two reasons. The first

257
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 3: one is, look Luke and his stat I'm not here

258
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 3: to say it's a bad stat. I think it's probably

259
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 3: a good stat. I'm less concerned in general with fighter

260
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 3: age than I am with with years, and Luca has

261
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 3: been fighting since he was like sixteen or whatever. This

262
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,880
Speaker 3: is his fourteenth or fifteenth year of professional fighting. And

263
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 3: as you said in that come forward, let's just get

264
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: into wars style that is not conducive to a long career.

265
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 3: So being thirty one, like, yes, he is young relative,

266
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:15,319
Speaker 3: and frankly, coming into this weekend, I was surprised how

267
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 3: young he was. I thought he was much older. He's

268
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: got a lot of miles, He's got a lot of

269
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 3: city miles on him, and I don't that makes me

270
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 3: very questionable. And the second thing, here's a hot take

271
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 3: for you. Javio Dosandos's run at welterweight is entirely fraudulent,

272
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 3: or at least like eighty five percent fraudulent. He was

273
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: a lightweight champion. There is a very strong argument that

274
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 3: at no point in the history of the world has

275
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: he been the best lightweight in the world, considering he

276
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:47,440
Speaker 3: won the belt after Habib dominated him. But he was

277
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: a lightweight champion, got a one title defense, I think,

278
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 3: and this very very good top five ish lightweight. His

279
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 3: move up to welterweight sort of just like felt like

280
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 3: he had to because of where he was. Here is

281
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 3: welterweight win BC because I looked it up beforehand to

282
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 3: make sure it wasn't crazy. When I think this, It's

283
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 3: Trek Saffadine, which at the time like was a fine win,

284
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 3: but does anyone care about that at all? Neil Magni,

285
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 3: which is still a quality win, but Neil Magne's not

286
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,959
Speaker 3: a top five, top ten dude. And Robbie Lawler, which

287
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: I guess at the time was better than it is now.

288
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,080
Speaker 3: But Robbie Lawler is we know where Robbie is. And

289
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: then he lost to Covington. He lost to Eusman. He's

290
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 3: a very good fighter who took advantage of an opportunity

291
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: up a weight class. But we saw, like you said,

292
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 3: Luka just was way bigger than him, and so beating

293
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 3: a very very good fighter in Ardi Ardi is a

294
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 3: tremendous fighter. But did he beat him because his wrestling's

295
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: better or did he beat him because he had ten

296
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 3: to fifteen pounds and good enough wrestling that he could

297
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 3: just use that?

298
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

299
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: I need to see a lot more to think that

300
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,880
Speaker 3: Vicini Luka is going to have a Charles Olavera Lake

301
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: late career renaissance to suddenly be this and that is

302
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 3: that would be the comp form, right, it's Chuckie Olives.

303
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 3: It's hey, you were the super fun fighter who lost

304
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 3: you know a lot as well, but were dynamic and

305
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 3: interesting and then you put it all together and now

306
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 3: you are making a historic run. That's what he has

307
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: to hope for. I need to see more than beating

308
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: a puffed up lightweight.

309
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 2: It's actually a fair breakdown. There is a fool's gold

310
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: element there in that size difference. I do want to

311
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 2: see how Luke responds if he is back in a firefight,

312
00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 2: which you would expect inevitably he will be taking top

313
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: ten matchups. But happy for this comeback when hope the

314
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 2: health can stay there. Believe in miracles. I do, but

315
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 2: that is a scary situation. He's back, good Win. We'll

316
00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: see where he goes moving forward. Jed, I do see

317
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 2: the UFC Tool one poster over your shoulder. Atlanta. I

318
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:49,920
Speaker 2: happened to be there that night, but.

319
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 3: So it was it not?

320
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 2: Were you also at?

321
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: That was the great first night as the first event

322
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 3: I ever covered.

323
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 2: Oh wow, look at that? Look at that? Were you

324
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: also at the greatest night in my mma lifetom, which

325
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 2: also happened in Atlanta. I'm talking about UFC two three six,

326
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 2: I'm talking about Gastolon Matasania Fourier Holloway two.

327
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: Did you feel that insane night most insane night of

328
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 3: fights have ever ever been a part of.

329
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: Okay, So sometimes I liked it. Sometimes people make me

330
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: feel like, you know, I'm the only one that's trying

331
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 2: to tell people that Izzy gastolone was what was one

332
00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 2: of the three greatest fights of the history of the support.

333
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 3: One hundred percent with you, Okay, And I don't I

334
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 3: don't know if it's just because I was there but

335
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: like I have there are It's unquestionably top five for me.

336
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 3: Like that fight was. I remember feeling like I emotionally

337
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 3: couldn't couldn't watch the main event after it, like I'm

338
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: not ready to do this.

339
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,480
Speaker 2: I'm there with you, Thank you very much. Let's keep

340
00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 2: going on this usc Vegas card. That call mean event

341
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 2: we had, we had some stuff happen. Cobb Swanson was

342
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 2: back taking on Hakeem Duo too. They went three rounds,

343
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 2: two rounds to one on all three judges scorecards in

344
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,440
Speaker 2: the end in favor of Club Swanson. Why is this

345
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 2: an issue? Even Cub admitted afterwards he didn't think he

346
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: won the fight, although he also heades it by saying

347
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,640
Speaker 2: he is his toughest critic. We love seeing Cub Swanson

348
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 2: there with the wife and kids, and it seemed like

349
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,639
Speaker 2: this could be this resurgent win for him at age

350
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,399
Speaker 2: thirty eight, except the internet kind of blew up afterwards.

351
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 2: So look, we have this debate on the show a

352
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 2: lot jed when it comes to decisions A lot of

353
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 2: times in boxing to be fair, where we have to

354
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:28,359
Speaker 2: try to pull through the crap and say, hey, guys,

355
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,920
Speaker 2: I know you want to yell robbery, but it was

356
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 2: actually closer than you think. Was this a robbery? Was

357
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: this just a bad scorecard? Or do you know combat

358
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 2: sports squitter just need things to rail against. How do

359
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,240
Speaker 2: you weigh in on what happened here with Swanson?

360
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,960
Speaker 3: Deuoto not a robbery for two reasons, but there's an

361
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: argument for it being a robbery for one. So the

362
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: two reasons it's not a robbery, The first is it's

363
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 3: comptter to fight like I think holistically, a scorecard of

364
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 3: twenty nine to twenty eight for Cub Swanson is not awful.

365
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: I scored it twenty nine eight, do Wado. But if

366
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 3: you scored it twenty nine to twenty eight for Swanson,

367
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:07,320
Speaker 3: think that's fine, right? I think that that is an

368
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: acceptable scorecard. The way those scorecards happened was pretty bad.

369
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 3: I pretty much disagree fundamentally with the judges' scorecards that

370
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 3: they offered here. But ultimately it's not a robbery because

371
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 3: does anyone really care? Like love Cubs Swanson an all

372
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 3: time great, one of the most you know, all time

373
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 3: action guy, like a dude who's not gonna get the

374
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 3: flowers he deserves in his career, but a guy who

375
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,640
Speaker 3: people will remember fondly when he exits the game. He's

376
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 3: not making a title run. This win and this loss

377
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 3: isn't like massively substantive in any real way. And the

378
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 3: same thing with Dowado, like shown some promise, but he's

379
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 3: probably not getting there at this point. So if this

380
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,160
Speaker 3: were a main event and a title fight, I would

381
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: have a lot more scrutiny for what went on here. Instead,

382
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 3: it's just a competitive fight and these scorecards are reasonable. Again,

383
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 3: I can't believe I'm about to say this. This is

384
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: gonna be the hottest take I've ever said in my life.

385
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: Brian Campbell, I think Saladomatto is probably the one who

386
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 3: got the scorecard right. If you're gonna go for Cub Swanson,

387
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: his scorecard is the appropriate one of giving Dowa do

388
00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: the first round and then giving Cubby the back to

389
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,359
Speaker 3: Cub clearly wins the third round. I've seen most people

390
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 3: seem to think that the first round is a swing round.

391
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 3: I thought that round was very very clearly in favor

392
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 3: of Dawadu, and the second round is the one that

393
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: I'm I'm open to it. I thought Dawadu did more,

394
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 3: but it was a competitive enough round and that flurry

395
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 3: at the end where it looked like Swanson at least

396
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 3: optically was winning. I'm okay with you giving him, but

397
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 3: this isn't a robbery because it's fine. It's like, who's

398
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 3: really upset about this other than friends and relations of

399
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: a team Dawadu.

400
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 2: I mean that's a fair point. I hopefully it doesn't

401
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 2: lead Duado, you know, into eventually getting cut where this

402
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: could have been a difference maker, because look, I scored

403
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 2: it two to one for Duado. I gave Cub the

404
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 2: third round like you did. But I do agree that

405
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: first round there is a case there for Cob. It's

406
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 2: not ridiculous. Two of the three judges gave Cub rounds

407
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 2: one in three. See, I think I think the second

408
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 2: round there's a much better case for Cobb. I think

409
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: the first round to me at the end of round two,

410
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 2: so you'd have to lean heavily into that last punch basically, yeah, but.

411
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: Like I get the optics from that, Like in the

412
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 3: first round, by almost any scoring metric, it seems that

413
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:27,880
Speaker 3: Dowd you should have won it, like, particularly because Cub

414
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 3: Cub gets busted up at the end of that round.

415
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 3: Like the visuals alone or one man is bleeding and

416
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 3: one man isn't. They landed similar amount of strikes. But

417
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: I don't I really don't get scoring the first round

418
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: for cub. If you scored the second round for him,

419
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 3: that's fine. I have no issues with it. Scoring the

420
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: first round feels bad to me.

421
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. The closest fight I thought they got

422
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 2: it wrong. Not a robbery. You're right on. Look, does

423
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: the value of it truly matter? Hopefully not in terms

424
00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: of anyone's job employment. But I kind of like seeing

425
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,359
Speaker 2: that emotional afterwards though, talk about Look, I love it

426
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 2: anytime fighters are real about the real life pressures, like

427
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: go into this game about living up to your your reputation,

428
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,960
Speaker 2: which club talked about about. In this case, you know,

429
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 2: he had his wife in beautiful young children right there

430
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: in the at zuck position, cage side, and he basically said, look,

431
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 2: you know, sooner or later they're gonna have to see this,

432
00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 2: so let's just do this. And luckily in this case,

433
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 2: daddy didn't get you know, beat up. You know, you

434
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 2: can question those parenting skills, although it seems it doesn't.

435
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: It seem like in boxing it's more normal tradition to

436
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: bring kids put him in the front row and just

437
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: be like, this is what dad does. I mean, we

438
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 2: don't see that as much in MMA, but I did

439
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 2: like to see, even though I didn't agree with him

440
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: get the win. I like to see Club. I liked

441
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 2: to seeing Club get the win and then be so emotional.

442
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 2: Like you said, he's one of those underrated warriors. He

443
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 2: does have a fight that is in the Hall of Fame.

444
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 2: Don't call him a hall of famer though, and on

445
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 2: my show, but yeah, it was what it was.

446
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 3: I don't know, uh, I it does feel, at least

447
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 3: in my you're the boxing guy, BC, I'm the boxing guy.

448
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,960
Speaker 3: It does feel in my exposure to boxing that they

449
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 3: don't seem to have any issues bringing children to events,

450
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:09,720
Speaker 3: which I don't. We could, we could delve into the

451
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 3: moral complications there. I'm not sure I have.

452
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a cultural thing, well certain cultures. We're

453
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: boxing is literally sport number two besides beyond soccer. It's

454
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 2: it's just sort of like part of life.

455
00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, And I don't I don't disagree, Like, it

456
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,679
Speaker 3: doesn't seem ridiculous that you couldn't bring your child to

457
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 3: an MMA fight like one. They're probably not paying attention

458
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 3: right like anywhere at they're probably not going to be

459
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 3: super focused on it. And two like this this is

460
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,359
Speaker 3: the job, Like you just explained to your kid what

461
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 3: you're doing and can all sort of settle in. Uh,

462
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 3: maybe that's it though maybe maybe cub bringing his family

463
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 3: sort of swayed. I don't was Ron McCarthy was one

464
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 3: of the judges. Maybe his his family's presence there got

465
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 3: him got him over with the judges. And and that's

466
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,160
Speaker 3: a great hack. That's not bad on him.

467
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 2: It's worked many times in crowded arena. Was when the

468
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: more popular fighter can sometimes sway the judge just by

469
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: the crowd reaction. The other big bang on this largelyish.

470
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 2: I didn't love this car top to bottom a lot more.

471
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 2: And have you seen this shit in terms of the

472
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: big high lightel but the other big story Khalil Rowntree Junior,

473
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: how about this a light? Have youweight? Four straight wins?

474
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 2: Three by ko? You had Chris Stalkis making a cut

475
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,159
Speaker 2: down to two hundred and five pounds looking to snap

476
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: a three fight losing skid. Instead he got snapped. It

477
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:32,439
Speaker 2: was a vicious finish on a straight left cross. So

478
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,439
Speaker 2: here's the real question. Here's the hot question, Jed, is

479
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 2: it about time we take Khalil Rowntree Junior serious to light?

480
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 2: Have youweight?

481
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good question. And I don't know you

482
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 3: should take him serious if you're fighting him, because he

483
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 3: is pretty good at fist fighting right like. He he

484
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: hits real hard, he does it. He's not a Wilton like.

485
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 3: He's not going to go anywhere. I don't know if

486
00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 3: we should take him seriously as a title contender. That

487
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 3: might be a bridge too far for me. And it's

488
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 3: it's not a it's not a condemnation of him, but

489
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 3: what am I to gain from watching him knock out

490
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 3: Chris daucas The most expected outcome of this fight the

491
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,239
Speaker 3: I putt a bet on clear rountry by Ko at

492
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 3: minus one forty, so it was a negative number to

493
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 3: get that. That's the outcome we expected. It frankly looked

494
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 3: pretty similar to what we expected. And I just don't

495
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 3: know what how much credence to give knocking out Chris Daukas,

496
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 3: who has been knocked out three times in her own

497
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,400
Speaker 3: was cutting down a weight to a harder weight class,

498
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 3: So this I don't know how to respond to this fight. Basically,

499
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 3: this is what I thought. I'm still pretty in on

500
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: watching Kleil Rountree fight anytime he does it, because somebody's

501
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 3: getting knuckle dusted, like one way or the other things

502
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 3: are going to get going. But I don't This fight

503
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 3: tells me nothing about how Khalil Rowntree will do against

504
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 3: Anthony Smith or Jan Belohovich or whatever. Like, I gotta

505
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 3: see those fights to take him seriously as like a

506
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 3: title threat, but as a top ten, top twelve. Dude,

507
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 3: you should have been taking him seriously a long time ago.

508
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: If you hadn't already, well, you got to.

509
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,440
Speaker 2: Take us power seriously always, And obviously that was a

510
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: beautiful finish. But I did like overall the poise. I

511
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 2: think he's coming together in terms of confidence and figuring

512
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: out how to be the best of himself. But I

513
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 2: do agree with you, although it sounds like you're walking

514
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: onto anyone's campsite and just pissing on their fire with

515
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,919
Speaker 2: all these hot takes, you might be right here, Chris Daucas.

516
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm not sure with what is that four straight knockout defeats.

517
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 2: He's in a tough spot in terms of future job

518
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 2: employment with the UFC after this, but a nice win

519
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: for Rountree. One thing he did say afterwards was like, look,

520
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 2: give me a top ten guy. More importantly, give me

521
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 2: a man event. I want to test myself with five rounds.

522
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: Let's find out where I'm at. You just said it.

523
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 2: Let's find out. Let's see him against the Anthony Smith.

524
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 2: That level of guys in the middle of this top

525
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,639
Speaker 2: ten to see. But a big win for Khalil In

526
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: terms of a big highlight, there was nice to see

527
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 2: a topic number two and as I mentioned again, have

528
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: you seen this shit? Love more on this UFC card.

529
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: Bellachour two ninety eight went down in the MMA hotbed

530
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 2: of South Dakota. Another home clubs opportunity here for former

531
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 2: interim walterweight titleist Logan Story, who probably tore up South

532
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: Dakota on Friday nights. You know what I'm saying, Like,

533
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 2: we'll go to the local car show at the McDonald's.

534
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,760
Speaker 2: That guy's probably just just slaying left and right. But

535
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 2: here's the deal. One side that lost Super Walmart Now yeah,

536
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 2: indeed indeed right one sided rematch title loss to Yarslav Amasov,

537
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 2: losing fifty to forty five on all three scorecards. But

538
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 2: he got the comeback win he needed here facing the

539
00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: rising Brennan Ward, who we know his story recovering from

540
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 2: the years out of the sport, the deep drug addiction,

541
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,919
Speaker 2: and had got that big win on CBS against Sabahu Masi.

542
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: This was an interesting fight in terms of Wards wrestling

543
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 2: takedown defense in the first round, but once Story was

544
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: able to secure him there as you're watching the highlights

545
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 2: in round two, the ground and pound was delivered and

546
00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 2: referee Jason Herzog, as you see right there, jumping in

547
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 2: to stop it, Twitter did blow up. Brendan Ward was apoplectic,

548
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: as Moros said, great use of that term right there.

549
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 2: But all in all, here, Jed, did Story show you

550
00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:15,159
Speaker 2: some real evolution here? Robbie Lawler in his corner. We

551
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 2: know that the talent at kill Cliff that you can

552
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 2: get in South Florida. Did Story show you enough evolution

553
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:23,960
Speaker 2: to lead you to believe he's still in this welterweight

554
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: title picture?

555
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 3: Yes and no. So I don't want to be a

556
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 3: guy who's negative, because all I've been doing is a

557
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 3: negative BC.

558
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:34,800
Speaker 2: But that's who you are. I feel your anger, Anakin,

559
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 2: you know I'm.

560
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 3: Not a very positive guy. Look, this didn't this didn't

561
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 3: make me think he's beaten yarlslav Amasov. If that's the

562
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 3: crux of the question here, No, I saw nothing there.

563
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 2: What is good?

564
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 3: The positive here showed to killer instinct which has been

565
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 3: a bit lacking. Like you look at his last like

566
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 3: five fights or something, they've almost all been decisions, some

567
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 3: questionable that he even won those. So when he got

568
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 3: top position and could take advantage of it, we saw

569
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: some real aggression out of him, which is a great thing.

570
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 3: Like that's you need that if you are going to

571
00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:12,119
Speaker 3: be an elite, elite level fighter. Here's the thing, BC,

572
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if you know this, because I thought

573
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,920
Speaker 3: I was crazy. I was covering this event, and I

574
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 3: don't know if you watched this fight live, if you

575
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,680
Speaker 3: came to it after, if you notice this.

576
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:23,399
Speaker 2: I watched every fight this weekend this morning. So that's

577
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: all you need to know.

578
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 3: Okay, Hey, that's waited to hear homework. Proud of you

579
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: for that. So while this fight is going on in

580
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: the second round, when he gets taken down, I thought

581
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 3: that it looked like he brendan Ward posts his arm

582
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 3: out and he immediately like winced in pain, and it

583
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 3: was like, oh, he probably just jacked up his elbow

584
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: and then when story's on top, Brendan Ward just starts

585
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: screaming at it him the whole time.

586
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 2: It's like, stand up you.

587
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 3: I don't know what words I'm allowed or not allowed

588
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 3: to say on this project. Stand up you, obscenity. I

589
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: have one freakin' awe arm just shouting at him before

590
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: where he gets finished. So I left that being like, oh,

591
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 3: he hurt himself in the takedown. Actually you go on

592
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 3: brynan Ward's Instagram, a message from his wife basically reveals

593
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: that he ruined his elbow a couple of weeks before

594
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: the fight and just did it anyway. So I don't

595
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 3: know how much credit to give Logan Storlely for beating

596
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: a one armed man. How much credit did we give

597
00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: al Jamaine Sterling for beating the one armed TJ. Dillashaw

598
00:29:24,320 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 3: or was the dude's name in the Fugitive though I

599
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: guess he actually lost the fight to the one armed man. Still,

600
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: I don't know what you give credit to for beating

601
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 3: a one armed man like that. I will say again,

602
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: showed great killer instinct and you can only fight the

603
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 3: dudes who are in there with you. But beating Brennan

604
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 3: Ward does not make me think any more about your

605
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 3: chances against Yaroslav Amasov, who is one of the very

606
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: best walterweights in the world.

607
00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 2: I mean that's kind of fair. Ward can be a

608
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 2: very feaster or famine, all or nothing type guy. He's

609
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 2: gonna go in there and get hit and throw bombs.

610
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: But I'll say this about Ward, even with one arm,

611
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 2: it was a poised, almost patient attack. He had good

612
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: moments with a power jab. Like I mentioned, the takedown

613
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 2: defense wasn't bad. In the first round, he did succumb

614
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 2: there to that ground and pound and got finished. Although

615
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: he certainly argued it, I don't know it was an

616
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 2: emotional kind of big win for Storrely. You saw that celebration.

617
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: I did see a turn of the corner that I

618
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,840
Speaker 2: needed to see from story. You mentioned it in terms

619
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 2: of the missionesositive, but I just saw I don't know,

620
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 2: I saw a guy who looked a little bit more

621
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: comfortable on the feet than I'm used to. Even with

622
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: him outstriking Nieman Gracie in that five round fight, I

623
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,440
Speaker 2: mean that was a sloppy striking battle. I haven't seen

624
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 2: a lot of what I loved in story when he

625
00:30:32,240 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: does step up to the highest level. Though I really

626
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 2: respect him, I don't know I saw a bit of

627
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 2: that evolution enough to be Almoslav No. I mean, the

628
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 2: first fight was close, and it was one of the

629
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 2: better fights in Belto history to be fair, in terms

630
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 2: of the back and forth on the ground and the

631
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: reversals that wasn't there in the rematch. Amoslav came back

632
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 2: after the long layoff and showed us exactly where he's at. Yeah,

633
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: I get what you're saying. There's some elements are you.

634
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: Were you okay with the stoppage because Jason Herzog went

635
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: on Twitter and was, you know, fighting back at all

636
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 2: the angry beds who lost their wager because of this.

637
00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: The stoppage was kosher in your eyes?

638
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 3: Right, who's upset with that stoppage?

639
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: Twitter?

640
00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 3: Okay? What was getting laid into? Like that's insane to

641
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 3: be upset with that stoppage? Like I know he complained,

642
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 3: but he's a fighter. They awe his do that and

643
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 3: like that. That's insane to be upset with that one.

644
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: That was very clearly a fine stoppage.

645
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:26,959
Speaker 2: Indeed, that was the main event there. There was some

646
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,240
Speaker 2: other decent moments around the card. Valentine Moldowski had a

647
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: nice bounce back whin there beating Big Steve Maori after

648
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 2: the first fight ended in a foul. But I want

649
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 2: to hit some other big Belatoor key headlines from the

650
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 2: last week here. They announced that big one there, Belatore

651
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 2: three hundred. It's gonna go down October seventh, four title

652
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 2: fights up top the marquee. But before we get into that,

653
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: did you see that poster that that originally showed Cyborg

654
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 2: versus Zingana on it and it had a phrase what

655
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 2: was the phrasing? I gotta look it up. What was

656
00:31:58,440 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: the phrasing that was in questionnaire?

657
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 4: Uh?

658
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: Final if look it up because I.

659
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: Don't remember, at the end of the line or something

660
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:06,560
Speaker 2: like that.

661
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 3: Finally it's over.

662
00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 2: It began to fuel the potential rumor mill notion that Belatour,

663
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 2: which knows you know, all cards on deck. We know

664
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: that Paramount, the parent parent company of this show, is

665
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: looking to sell. Will PFL buy it? We're not really sure.

666
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 2: John Ashnash did go harden the paint on the idea

667
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,840
Speaker 2: that it ends here. Thank you to Long Island, luke Tha.

668
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 2: The prusha it ends here was on the poster. A

669
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: lot of people said, well, as Beltore three hundred the

670
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,600
Speaker 2: last Bellatore cardon history. Scott Koker at the press conference

671
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 2: shot down John Nash and basically said, now we're already

672
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: planning three oh one and three oh two, so as

673
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 2: it stands right now for Bellatore three hundred, here, let

674
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: me call up these matchups to give you a perfect

675
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:51,800
Speaker 2: look at this main event. Of course, Ryan Bader defending

676
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: the heavyweight title in the rematch with Lenton Vissel. You've

677
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: got Cyborg versus in Gano for the women's featherweight title.

678
00:32:57,320 --> 00:33:01,920
Speaker 2: Usman Normaga Medoff welcomes former champion Brent Premiss, and then

679
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 2: you've got Liz Carmous defending her title against the former

680
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 2: champion and friend, Alima Leay McFarlane. How would you grade

681
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,280
Speaker 2: this given the historical nature of this Belatore three hundred card.

682
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 3: Well, one, can we just talk about how funny that

683
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: poster is, because the poster is legitimately hilarious that it

684
00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 3: ends here, because I can, like you can squint your

685
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,120
Speaker 3: eyes and see what Bellatore's saying there, like, oh yeah,

686
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 3: they're talking about the Cyborg Zinganu like long brewing rivalry

687
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,479
Speaker 3: that has hasn't come to fruition. But then you look

688
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 3: at and you're like, except for that's the comin event.

689
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:41,040
Speaker 3: When does anybody ever ever put the catch law or

690
00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 3: a thing about the comin event? That's that's just not

691
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 3: how it goes. So it's it's an incredible poster. I

692
00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,960
Speaker 3: don't think Bellatore's done it three hundred just because we're

693
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,320
Speaker 3: not close enough to a to a selling deal at

694
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 3: this juncture that they're gonna at least continue forward and

695
00:33:56,480 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 3: finish out the lightweight tournament or what the Grand Prix.

696
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 3: So I think it's all sort of the same. But

697
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 3: it's been incredible, Like four days for Bellatore in that regard,

698
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 3: this is going to be interesting. Four title fights BC,

699
00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: that is a lot of title fights. I remember a

700
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,279
Speaker 3: few years ago when we were starting to see a

701
00:34:18,320 --> 00:34:20,520
Speaker 3: couple of three title fights. I think Bellator did it

702
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 3: on one of their events, A couple of UFC events

703
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 3: have done it, And the question is like, is this

704
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: going to be like those old school days where suddenly

705
00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:31,280
Speaker 3: you run late because all three go to decision. Adding

706
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 3: a fourth in really really muddles it and creates an

707
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,040
Speaker 3: opportunity for this to be one very long night of fights.

708
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 3: But look, it's your three hundred events. Go big, do

709
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 3: something special, do something splashy. Four title fights, it's something

710
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 3: for a lot of people. So I will very much

711
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 3: be interested in this, Like I will absolutely be watching

712
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 3: this one, and this will probably be the best event

713
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:55,560
Speaker 3: that weekend, so that'll be good.

714
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you did tease the potential if the entertainment

715
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: value doesn't line up, that we could get twenty consecutive

716
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:02,799
Speaker 2: title rounds. That's what you're trying to say.

717
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 3: It would be hilarious and very belatore for that to happen.

718
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 3: And if you just look at these fights too, man

719
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 3: like Ryan Bader letting the Cell feels extremely likely to

720
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 3: go twenty five minutes. Cyborg's in Ghanu Like, Cyborg's been

721
00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 3: pretty decision heavy lately, so that could I would suspect

722
00:35:25,320 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 3: that gets finished. But Busman Brent Premise, honestly, I have

723
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,360
Speaker 3: no idea what to expect as far as a finish.

724
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 3: Premis looked very good in his most recent fight, and

725
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:39,200
Speaker 3: Carlush McFarland very likely is going twenty five so we

726
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 3: could be in for what's that two hundred minutes of

727
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 3: fighting something like that.

728
00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 2: We'll see how that plays out. A lot of the

729
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 2: big names It had just recently appeared on that Belatur

730
00:35:49,040 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: rise In two supercard and then AJ mcckee pull out

731
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 2: with injury. We know Patricio Pippole is expected to be

732
00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:57,359
Speaker 2: out long with injury, so we'll see how that plays out.

733
00:35:57,360 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 2: But I like the effort at least putting four title

734
00:35:59,520 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 2: fights there to close on Belatour. How about this headline?

735
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:06,440
Speaker 2: Light heavyweight champion for Nemcoff has said publicly he's likely

736
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: going to vacate his title and move up to heavyweight. Now,

737
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 2: when I ask you, how do you like his chances?

738
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 2: I certainly have to hedge that with the notion that

739
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 2: Ryan Vader is currently the heavyweight champion and Vadem Memcoff

740
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: stopped Ryan Vader pretty decisively to win that title. But

741
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: in general, in Bellator nemclof, who's arguably the best light

742
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 2: heavyweight in the world at this moment, this is an

743
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:33,319
Speaker 2: interesting choice to do this. Now, do you like his

744
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: chances to have that same success one division higher?

745
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 3: I mean in Bellatore for sure. Well, in heavyweight is

746
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 3: just a much worse division than light heavyweight, which is

747
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 3: also a bad division. But if you move up in

748
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 3: you're a person of means and talent, You're probably gonna

749
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 3: have a good amount of success. There may be an

750
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,040
Speaker 3: upper bound to it, but that's frankly more likely in

751
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 3: the UFC, where like the top heavyweights are just extremely

752
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 3: good and very large. If you don't have both, you

753
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: can't compete in that realm. But like, is Steve Mawory,

754
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 3: Are you picking Steve Mawory to beat the tam He

755
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:12,640
Speaker 3: just Steve Mowry just got tackled, tackled, laid on by

756
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:16,319
Speaker 3: Valentine Moldowski for fifteen minutes. And that's sort of an

757
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,760
Speaker 3: interesting wrinkle to this. I don't is nim Kov still

758
00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 3: attached to Fade or Team. I don't know if he

759
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 3: like I know he works with att so I'm not

760
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 3: really sure if he's still in the Fade or team

761
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,560
Speaker 3: or what a how Valentine Moldowski would sort of fit

762
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 3: into this, But I would pick Nimkov to beat Brian

763
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:38,080
Speaker 3: Bader and Linton Vessel and probably all Like if you

764
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 3: look at the Bellator rankings, Daniel James is tapped in heavyweight,

765
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 3: like I mean, can.

766
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:46,160
Speaker 2: Make a his quickness in striking would be a would

767
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 2: be a more big, big time problem up there, But

768
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,560
Speaker 2: I don't know. We'll see if Rian Vader holds on

769
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 2: too that title against Vsel. It has been a great round.

770
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 2: I mean, are you do you subscribe to that notion

771
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 2: that Nimkov could be the best to a fiver on

772
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: the planet Right now?

773
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 3: I think that it's very possible. I have pretty doggedly

774
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 3: stuck with Ybrahashka, and I personally think that outside of accomplishment,

775
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,280
Speaker 3: Magna Manenklaye is the best two of fiver in the world.

776
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 3: But to me, it's a three horse race between those

777
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:17,439
Speaker 3: two and Fadem Nimkov. If you pick any of those three,

778
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 3: I don't have an issue with it. And now I

779
00:38:19,239 --> 00:38:23,399
Speaker 3: guess Alex Pereira's putting himself in the mix as well.

780
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: But yeah, those those three dudes, if you think any

781
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 3: of them are the top guy, I cannot argue against you.

782
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, you might be right. By the way she fade

783
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 2: or told Ariel on your network that he wants to box.

784
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 2: Come on, I don't know, come on.

785
00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,759
Speaker 3: Oh BC, you're under selling it. He didn't just say

786
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,120
Speaker 3: he wants to box. He said he wants to box.

787
00:38:43,160 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 3: Mike Tyson get it. You got to give him the whole,

788
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,520
Speaker 3: the whole enchiladity here he wants to box Mike Tyson,

789
00:38:50,600 --> 00:38:53,439
Speaker 3: and I don't know how likely that is. I don't

790
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 3: know that Mike Tyson is trying to box, But like,

791
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't it just be very combat sportsy in twenty twenty

792
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 3: three to see that fight get made.

793
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:05,680
Speaker 2: I mean, isn't Jeff Monson boxing old like tek Taroff

794
00:39:05,760 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 2: coming up? I mean, it's not really happening.

795
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 3: I have no idea if that's true.

796
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,759
Speaker 2: That's true, and they're fighting in some form in their

797
00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,160
Speaker 2: fifties in Russia, but yeah, I don't know.

798
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 3: Of course it's in Russia. Just that's an insane thing.

799
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm done. I've said this before. We had a

800
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 2: nice seaton and that the whole celebrity crossover boxing bubble

801
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,320
Speaker 2: is not dead. In fact, Jake Paul and Nate Diaz

802
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,760
Speaker 2: surprised me on being that interesting at least of a fight.

803
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,760
Speaker 2: Bill Datis might box logan Paul.

804
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,400
Speaker 3: Don't say it. It's not happening.

805
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,879
Speaker 2: Okay, it's probably not gonna happen. My point is there's

806
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:41,920
Speaker 2: still some air left in the balloon on that. But

807
00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: in general, this whole idea of old guy fights influencer fights.

808
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 2: It was great pandemic wise, it was great when boxing

809
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,560
Speaker 2: couldn't get in first gear. But with where we're at

810
00:39:53,640 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 2: this year, I'm done. I'm done with this. I'm done

811
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 2: with this. You can pull me in. I got pulled

812
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 2: into Jake versus Nate. It wasn't bad, got pulled in.

813
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 2: But I don't need fad Or Tyson. I don't need

814
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:03,240
Speaker 2: this stuff.

815
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 3: Moving forward, we should okay BC, but what if we

816
00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,240
Speaker 3: what if we do fad Or versus Anderson in boxing?

817
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: Is that? Is that? Really?

818
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:14,239
Speaker 2: I mean? I was on the record for a long

819
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: time saying Belator should have backed up a truck to

820
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 2: and to have him fight fad Or for Fador's final

821
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 2: fight on CBS and make it a massive thing. But

822
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,600
Speaker 2: uh yeah, yeah, all right, let's keep it going.

823
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 3: Watch every day that Look, there are exceptions to this

824
00:40:31,480 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 3: rule or j Paul Fate or Jake Paul.

825
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,359
Speaker 2: Uh moving on, Speaking by the way, I one time

826
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 2: said what about Jake Paul boxing and Ganu on PFL

827
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 2: and people wanted to like throw me out of the show.

828
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 3: I I also made that joke. It would be really funny.

829
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 2: Let's go to topic number three, speaking of real boxing,

830
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 2: it was a sneaky good boxing weekend over the weekend,

831
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 2: and I did force you, for your participation on the show,

832
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,800
Speaker 2: to sit in there and watch it, Jed. So let's

833
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 2: talk about it. Anthony josh was supposed to be rematching

834
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 2: Dillian White in an interesting fight that would have potentially

835
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 2: set up a Deontay Wilder matchup. Well, then Dillion White

836
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 2: took every drug that Durell Big Baby Miller wasn't using.

837
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,760
Speaker 2: But how about this, how about filling in the Nordic

838
00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 2: Nightmare Robert Hellenius on one week notice. He had just

839
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,839
Speaker 2: want to fight against a no hoper in Finland, And Jed,

840
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:24,000
Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw that video of that highlight,

841
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: but Hellennius beat up a guy in the back wall

842
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 2: in that arena was just all stone. It was like

843
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,160
Speaker 2: they fought in like a well or something. It was weird. Anyway,

844
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:37,200
Speaker 2: we're back in the UK, Joshua takes on Helenius and

845
00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,359
Speaker 2: if you only watched the highlight of the seventh round

846
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 2: seventh round finish, it was a spectacular one punch knockout

847
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,120
Speaker 2: from Joshua, who set it up beautifully with a jab

848
00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 2: and landed a looping right hand that knocked Helenius cold.

849
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:53,399
Speaker 2: If you remember, Hellenius fought Deontay Wilder and while there's

850
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,479
Speaker 2: comeback over the past year and got KOed in round one,

851
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: But there is a deeper story about this performance from

852
00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 2: a and a second fight under trainer Derek James. There

853
00:42:03,440 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 2: was a lot of criticism even from the announced team

854
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: on his own leading up to the ko, about AJ's output,

855
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 2: about his attitude, about his confidence level. Really the sustained

856
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,720
Speaker 2: sort of narratives that have come out of not only

857
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 2: AJ's upset lost Andrew Ruiz back in the day that

858
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 2: he did redeem against a fatter version of Andy in

859
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 2: their rematch, but the two losses to Alexander Usik, the

860
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 2: meltdown in the ring afterwards. Look, it has not been

861
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:31,720
Speaker 2: a great run publicly for AJ. Even with the bounce

862
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: back win against Jermaine Franklin. There was a lot to

863
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: pick a part in that jed. You check this fight out.

864
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 2: Can this Anthony Joshua who called out Deontay Wilder afterwards

865
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:43,680
Speaker 2: and wants to fight him in January and Saudi Arabia

866
00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 2: for trillions of dollars? Is this guy back? Is this

867
00:42:48,880 --> 00:42:53,520
Speaker 2: guy who he once was? Is AJ still in play

868
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: to potentially take back over this entire division.

869
00:42:58,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 3: Well, look, you're the boxing you're gonna have to take

870
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 3: Tell me if he is who who he was, because

871
00:43:03,560 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 3: this sort of just feels like who he is, right Like,

872
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,399
Speaker 3: I'm willing to hear the arguments that's he's with new

873
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 3: team and was working some things out, and lord knows

874
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 3: the commentary team was trying to make that case while

875
00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 3: they were watching him tepidly pauw at Bobby Hell for

876
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:26,799
Speaker 3: six rounds or whatever. But this didn't look that. This

877
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 3: didn't look like a guy who's going to captivate the

878
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 3: masses other than walking off the bus. Looks great getting

879
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 3: off the bus. Just outstanding physique, looks like my ideal

880
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 3: image of a professional boxer when you see him standing there, like, oh,

881
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:43,160
Speaker 3: that man should be very very good at this.

882
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 2: He's a video game heavyweight. Look at him. I mean,

883
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:46,560
Speaker 2: he's an Adonis. It's ridiculous.

884
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, just carved from stone like unbelievable, like the length

885
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 3: in all the right places, and then he was just

886
00:43:55,160 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: pawing at it. Again, not a big boxing guy. So

887
00:43:58,480 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 3: my large exposure to to Bob Olaneus here is him

888
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 3: getting just sent to the shadow realm by Deontay Wilder

889
00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 3: with a little boop right hand, like not even a

890
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,400
Speaker 3: full one, just a palm in the face and getting killed.

891
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:16,680
Speaker 3: And so watching AJ sit here and sort of struggle

892
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 3: with him because he was getting touched up, like he

893
00:44:18,800 --> 00:44:21,920
Speaker 3: was never in danger of losing that fight, but he

894
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 3: he got tagged a bunch like his face was Buddy,

895
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 3: it was harder than people wanted it. And maybe, like

896
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:29,800
Speaker 3: the comment two team said, he was just trying to

897
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,160
Speaker 3: get rounds and you know, work through with his new

898
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,279
Speaker 3: team on some stuff. And the finish was spectacular. But

899
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 3: I come out of that fight thinking, really want to

900
00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:42,279
Speaker 3: see a j Wilder, Like that's that's been the fight

901
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,600
Speaker 3: wanted to see for a very long time obviously, and

902
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 3: Deontay Wilder is just gonna kill this Jimoke, like he

903
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 3: is just gonna blow his doors off. Uh, And it's

904
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 3: this just sort of feels like who ag is? He's

905
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 3: he is the prince that was promised, but the promise

906
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,360
Speaker 3: was a lie, Like he just it's not it's not

907
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:02,959
Speaker 3: there for whatever reason, he doesn't doesn't have it all

908
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 3: in that way, and so he's you know, he's going

909
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:08,520
Speaker 3: to be a draw. People are going to be interested.

910
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:11,239
Speaker 3: I'll continue to watch his fights. I always watch him fight.

911
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:14,680
Speaker 3: I watch all the big names you know, Deontay, etc.

912
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 3: But I don't have any expectations that he's getting, you know,

913
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,320
Speaker 3: to win a belt or the unified title in in

914
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: your regard.

915
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 2: All right for a non boxing guy, I think you

916
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 2: just nailed it. Let's break this down. I mean, AJ

917
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: still star as you said effect coming out to a

918
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,400
Speaker 2: full stadium with that violin player. I mean, Aja entrances

919
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: are always epic on a pride level. I loved it.

920
00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 2: The chapmanship was great, always is, and if you only

921
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,440
Speaker 2: watch that highlight, yeah, you can get fired the hell

922
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 2: up and be like, man, he's back, and let's see

923
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 2: him in there against Wilder, and I think they will

924
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:46,840
Speaker 2: and it will be a huge fight. But to everything

925
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 2: you just said, to what Luke Thomas has believed since

926
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 2: the beginning, I think is true, AJ as it stands now,

927
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 2: is setting up to get knocked the hell out. The

928
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: ghost disappeared that night in the Madison Square Garden in

929
00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:03,080
Speaker 2: twenty nineteen against Andrew Ruiz. Some people never yeah, and

930
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 2: some people never get back that invincibility jed when it's gone,

931
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 2: and it got knocked out of him that night. He

932
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,560
Speaker 2: won the rematch against the fattest Ruiz ever, but was

933
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 2: tepid and very careful as a boxer. And since then,

934
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 2: you know, I think who nailed it, Pauly Malanaji. I

935
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 2: happened to catch his take ball flipping through Instagram yesterday

936
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 2: and he nailed it, nailed it completely. He basically said,

937
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:29,359
Speaker 2: if the issues were physical, I would think Joshua can

938
00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 2: turn this around. But the issues here are clearly mental

939
00:46:32,719 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 2: and I agree with that. Let me break it down

940
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:38,320
Speaker 2: how I break how I see that Joshua is still

941
00:46:38,480 --> 00:46:41,280
Speaker 2: in an identity crisis about who he is as a boxer.

942
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 2: I think the USIK fights showed him wrongly trying to

943
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: outbox the slickest boxer that the heavyweight division has seen,

944
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 2: not named Tyson Fury, in the longest time, and it

945
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,240
Speaker 2: didn't go well for him. Although he was competitives, particularly

946
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 2: in that second one. He's trying too hard to be

947
00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:02,320
Speaker 2: a boxer. This was as to Helenius, who, like you said, Hennel,

948
00:47:02,520 --> 00:47:06,480
Speaker 2: look Hilenius's feaster famine. He was once a huge, bright prospect,

949
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 2: big punch, huge for the way class as he saw there,

950
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,880
Speaker 2: never quite saw I mean, he got knocked out by

951
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 2: Gerald Washington, which was a huge sign. Had the two

952
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 2: comeback knockout wins against Kovnatchki to put him back on

953
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 2: the map, and of course you saw what happened against Wilder.

954
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 2: It wasn't as if Helenius did bad or was easy

955
00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,120
Speaker 2: to be. Plentius was difficult, that's what he does. But

956
00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 2: AJ wasn't confident. He didn't build behind that JAB. I

957
00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 2: didn't love the interactions between him and Derek James in

958
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,880
Speaker 2: the corner. It just doesn't look like AJ is buying

959
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: into what they're trying to do there. It doesn't look

960
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,880
Speaker 2: like AJ is having fun. It doesn't look anymore like

961
00:47:38,920 --> 00:47:43,280
Speaker 2: AJ truly believes in himself. If AJ truly believed in himself,

962
00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:45,759
Speaker 2: I believe in that rematch with Lusk, he would have

963
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:48,240
Speaker 2: done what he should have, which is going guns blazing,

964
00:47:48,520 --> 00:47:52,160
Speaker 2: knowing you can't outslick that former cruiserweight, und speeded champion,

965
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,879
Speaker 2: the Olympic gold medalist, who is just so dynamic. AJ

966
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 2: is still in this crisis where, yeah, once Helenius starts

967
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:01,120
Speaker 2: to slow in this fight, about round five, you finally

968
00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: saw a busier AJ. But before that I wouldn't call

969
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: it sleepwalking. He was active, he was on the front foot,

970
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: he just wasn't throwing punches. It just sort of like

971
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:12,880
Speaker 2: the there's a disconnect there. And I've never liked the

972
00:48:12,920 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 2: pairing with Derek James, not for stylistic reasons, not for

973
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,000
Speaker 2: coaching reasons. Derek James won, you know, arguably the best

974
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 2: trainer on the planet, even with the one sided loss

975
00:48:20,400 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 2: in Spence Crawford. But I just don't think AJ is

976
00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:24,800
Speaker 2: buying into anything. I don't know if you saw the

977
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 2: DX cross chop after the knockout, when you mix that

978
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 2: with the really bizarre post fight interview afterwards, not as

979
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,360
Speaker 2: bizarre as the one after the USIK rematch where he

980
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,439
Speaker 2: commandeered the microphone and like a Forest Griffin versus Tito

981
00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:39,200
Speaker 2: Ortez rematch type way, this was more of just him

982
00:48:39,280 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 2: not wanting to really answer questions and sort of trying

983
00:48:42,280 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 2: to shout down the haters and the crowd. I just

984
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 2: think AJ right now doesn't know who he is when

985
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 2: he's still young enough and still physically able if he

986
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 2: commits to being what he does best. Yeah, AJ can box,

987
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 2: He's won big fights by boxing against the B level,

988
00:48:58,080 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: more limited guys. But if he's gonna be the a guys,

989
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,359
Speaker 2: the Furies, the usiks who are incredible, slick boxers. He's

990
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 2: gotta be the bully. He's got to be the six

991
00:49:06,360 --> 00:49:09,319
Speaker 2: foot six, jacked guy who's gonna lean on you, gonna

992
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 2: use the fact that he can finish you with both hands,

993
00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 2: that he's a great combination punch, has a tremendous uppercut

994
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,239
Speaker 2: that at times reminds you of Lennox Lewis, but the

995
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:19,560
Speaker 2: rest of the game doesn't round out and have that

996
00:49:19,640 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: same Lennox Lewis reminder because AJ is incomplete. He's always

997
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,520
Speaker 2: been a little bit too muscle bound, but he's made

998
00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 2: it work, especially when fighting guys who have a gap

999
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 2: in their skill set. If they're not technical enough, he

1000
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 2: can out technical you. But if he comes into a

1001
00:49:34,400 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 2: Deantay Wilder matchup with this sort of indifference in his eyes, yeah,

1002
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,840
Speaker 2: he's gonna get absolutely splattered. I mean, Jed, it's tough

1003
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,200
Speaker 2: for me in my literally in my basement to be

1004
00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: like AJ Man, you're jack, You're a finisher. We know that.

1005
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:49,680
Speaker 2: Just go in there and bite down and try to

1006
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: finish guys, because look, it's the heavyweight division. One punch

1007
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,959
Speaker 2: can change anything, and AJ has always had to be fair.

1008
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 2: I don't want to say a bad chin, but a

1009
00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,920
Speaker 2: flashy chin, you can hurt him, right, Dillian White did

1010
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: Arlos tacking, you can hurt him. But still in a

1011
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 2: heavyweight fight, sometimes it's still about let's go in there

1012
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 2: and trade lumber and let's see who's the you know,

1013
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:11,440
Speaker 2: who's got the bigger punch in the better chin. In

1014
00:50:11,480 --> 00:50:13,880
Speaker 2: this case, I love to see AJ. I would love

1015
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,280
Speaker 2: to see him use that athleticism mix with the power

1016
00:50:16,600 --> 00:50:19,560
Speaker 2: and go after people. Him trying to feel out be

1017
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 2: the counter puncher. It's just not gonna work. Man. It

1018
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 2: ultimately worked against Lenius, it's not gonna work against Usik

1019
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 2: or Fury and with Wilder's power, Man, I do fear

1020
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,839
Speaker 2: for AJ unless he goes into that fight with the

1021
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 2: mindset that I got to get Deontay before Deontay gets me.

1022
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:36,480
Speaker 2: I mean, is that fair? Jed?

1023
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 3: Yeah? So, Like, I don't know what to tell him

1024
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:44,359
Speaker 3: as far as much of this, but at a very

1025
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 3: basic level, I think most of what you said I

1026
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:50,359
Speaker 3: would fundamentally agree with. He's not having fun like did

1027
00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,240
Speaker 3: when in the last like x years, has it looked

1028
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,120
Speaker 3: like he has had fun. He had fun when that

1029
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 3: fight was over and he delivered a ko. But the

1030
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 3: rest of it looks like a man who is absolutely

1031
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:03,600
Speaker 3: petrified that something bad is going to happen, that he

1032
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:05,920
Speaker 3: is going to drop the ball, that he is not

1033
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 3: going to meet expectations, whatever it is, and just like

1034
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Like you're fighting a dude on

1035
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 3: short notice who is not going to beat you and

1036
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:17,200
Speaker 3: knowing thinks, just go have fun in there, like, enjoy yourself,

1037
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:19,840
Speaker 3: and the result is probably going to come in a

1038
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,680
Speaker 3: much more significant and meaningful way. Like maybe you do

1039
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 3: get knocked out, but isn't it better to get knocked

1040
00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 3: out having fun than to get knocked out because you

1041
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 3: are just throwing nothing but a jab and.

1042
00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:36,680
Speaker 2: When you're actively trying to win the fight the best

1043
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,480
Speaker 2: way possible, when you are actively going after the win

1044
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,359
Speaker 2: and you get caught, Hey man, you got caught. I'm

1045
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,880
Speaker 2: getting a little sick of seeing AJ being too tentative

1046
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:47,319
Speaker 2: or trying to be the bob or just thinking too

1047
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:48,879
Speaker 2: much in general, he's thinking too much.

1048
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, just go out, let it all hang out, Just

1049
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,719
Speaker 3: have some fun. You don't have to run recklessly in there.

1050
00:51:53,760 --> 00:51:57,840
Speaker 3: But like you could whatever you're doing to treat every

1051
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 3: opponent you're fighting as if you are fighting me, and

1052
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,240
Speaker 3: you would give them no respect, and just see what happens.

1053
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,600
Speaker 3: I bet it will work out a lot better.

1054
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:07,920
Speaker 2: I'd like to see he'll have more fun that nastiness

1055
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 2: that he's showing now in these post fight interviews like

1056
00:52:10,239 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 2: that sort of. I'd like to see that in the ring.

1057
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 2: I really would. But hey, big knockout, he's gonna.

1058
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,759
Speaker 3: Get a huge disconnect. It's a huge disconnect between the

1059
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 3: product produced in the ring and the stuff said afterwards.

1060
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:25,200
Speaker 2: I do. I would like to see him fight both

1061
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 2: Fury and Wilder before it's all over. Considering the amount

1062
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: of money that's being talked about in Saudi, let's get

1063
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 2: this Wilder fight happening in January. Look, if he wins it, man,

1064
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 2: he'd be the he'd be the big gun to fight

1065
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:40,239
Speaker 2: the winner of this inevitable Fury Usic fight that inevitably,

1066
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:45,160
Speaker 2: inevitably looks inevitably looks like Fury doesn't want. So there

1067
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,080
Speaker 2: you go. I mean, Fury get it.

1068
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 3: Once he's gone and knocks him out, then it's not

1069
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 3: even gonna happen.

1070
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean, here's well, yeah, okay, Well, I mean, here's

1071
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,319
Speaker 2: the deal. If if Wilder knocks out AJ, I, I

1072
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,480
Speaker 2: bet your Fury would still want to fight aj afterwards

1073
00:52:57,480 --> 00:52:59,759
Speaker 2: because Fury knows the money in an aj fight and

1074
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,960
Speaker 2: all that. But uh man, that was in some ways

1075
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:05,719
Speaker 2: that fight was tough to watch on Saturday. Speaking of

1076
00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,799
Speaker 2: Saturday and boxing, though they promised a potential fight of

1077
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 2: the year Top rank did one hundred and thirty pound

1078
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 2: title fight. Emmanuel Navarette defending against Oscar Valdez and Jed

1079
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 2: I think they damn near came close in the end.

1080
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 2: It goes down as a unanimous decision for the three

1081
00:53:22,600 --> 00:53:26,280
Speaker 2: division champion Navarete, who defended his one thirty WBO title.

1082
00:53:26,840 --> 00:53:29,279
Speaker 2: Two of the three score cards I thought were wider

1083
00:53:29,400 --> 00:53:33,359
Speaker 2: than they needed to be, but these two guys absolutely

1084
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,920
Speaker 2: went to war. It was Navarete six inch reach advantage

1085
00:53:36,920 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 2: and awkwardness early. But I got to give Valdez, who

1086
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:44,719
Speaker 2: always shows tremendous heart, props for the adjustments he made

1087
00:53:44,719 --> 00:53:46,799
Speaker 2: in the middle of the fight, particularly in round six,

1088
00:53:46,840 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 2: getting off with those short left hooks, using his athleticism

1089
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:52,160
Speaker 2: on the inside to pivot. It turned into a bomb

1090
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 2: burner down the stretch when Navaretti hurt his right hand.

1091
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,120
Speaker 2: Valdez's right eye was closing. You had Marco, Antonio Barrera

1092
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:02,319
Speaker 2: and Eric Morales at ringside. I mean the waivos were

1093
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 2: just bouncing around the arena. Jed, you were forced to

1094
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,319
Speaker 2: sit down and watch this near classic in Arizona. Uh,

1095
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 2: didn't live up to everything I told you it could be.

1096
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:15,959
Speaker 3: This is awesome of the minithing you know. Very happy

1097
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,160
Speaker 3: and grateful to be brought on this week. Mostly, I'm

1098
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 3: really happy that you told me to watch this fight

1099
00:54:21,880 --> 00:54:24,399
Speaker 3: because I watched the big fights, like I will watch

1100
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,880
Speaker 3: every big boxing match and I may throw on Showtime

1101
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,200
Speaker 3: Boxing or something if I'm got nothing else to do

1102
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:32,439
Speaker 3: and it's on. But not an avid follower of all

1103
00:54:32,480 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 3: of the various champions in the various organizations. So this

1104
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 3: is my first experience with both of these men. I

1105
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,120
Speaker 3: gotta tell you, I'm a big navarate guy. Now big

1106
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 3: navaraate guy from this because he's a crazy person. Uh,

1107
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:48,759
Speaker 3: I am not a genius at striking. I'm pretty sure

1108
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:53,319
Speaker 3: he does everything wrong. I'm pretty sure that nobody would

1109
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,359
Speaker 3: ever teach you to do half the stuff I saw

1110
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 3: him doing there, and it was it was electric, like

1111
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 3: I couldn't take my eyes off watching this dude at

1112
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:04,919
Speaker 3: various points, like trip over his own feet because he's

1113
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 3: his footwork is bad, and he just sort of like

1114
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 3: fires punches as oh there's windows. So even though my

1115
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,560
Speaker 3: feet are crossed and I'm falling this way, I'm still

1116
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 3: gonna throw this left hand and just it was incredible

1117
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:21,560
Speaker 3: to watch him like do that leaping, lunging like left

1118
00:55:21,600 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 3: shovel punch from out of nowhere that consistently found a home.

1119
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,319
Speaker 3: He's awesome. I'm so in on this dude now. So

1120
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 3: this fight ruled. It was incredibly fun about that was

1121
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:36,279
Speaker 3: super tough. Like you said, the left hook coming down

1122
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 3: the stretch, he started to really just swing that as

1123
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,640
Speaker 3: hard as he possibly could, and it landed a bunch

1124
00:55:42,880 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 3: in like a meaningful way. I think I had it

1125
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 3: eight to four, seven to five on watch. So the

1126
00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 3: scorecards seemed fine.

1127
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 2: I think, well the scorecards were like ten to two,

1128
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:54,840
Speaker 2: nine to oh.

1129
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:56,960
Speaker 3: Was there ten to two. I wasn't paying that much

1130
00:55:56,960 --> 00:56:00,399
Speaker 3: attention to that. I know that they're the concur one

1131
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,879
Speaker 3: was eight to four whatever, and yeah, seven five eight

1132
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 3: four or something like that. The fight was just super

1133
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 3: fun and now I have a new dude. Who I'm

1134
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:10,360
Speaker 3: gonna watch every time he fights, because the guys he

1135
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,960
Speaker 3: literally tripped over himself throwing punches just incredible.

1136
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 2: I mean he could throw uppercuts from with both hands

1137
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,240
Speaker 2: from about five feet out with that six inch reach advantage,

1138
00:56:19,239 --> 00:56:21,799
Speaker 2: which is incredible. But here he would throw him. He

1139
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,319
Speaker 2: could throw him from two inches in like just a

1140
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:25,520
Speaker 2: random thing.

1141
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:28,160
Speaker 3: Like oh, like, he's awesome. He is the best.

1142
00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 2: The cowboy they call him El valco is that I

1143
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 2: don't do, don't I don't do any languages, as I

1144
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:38,240
Speaker 2: dropped a lot of Genipaul cowboy over the week. Yeah,

1145
00:56:38,280 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 2: so he's the cowboy. So here's the deal. He was

1146
00:56:39,960 --> 00:56:41,920
Speaker 2: the underdog coming in. This is the biggest win of

1147
00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:44,919
Speaker 2: his career by far. He had had those two big

1148
00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:46,799
Speaker 2: ones over Isi Dog Bay on the title level at

1149
00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:49,000
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty two pounds. He's now at one thirty.

1150
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: And to be fair, there was some questions about which direct,

1151
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:55,560
Speaker 2: not which direction Navarette is going, but in some ways,

1152
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: how good or great could he be. He had that

1153
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:00,640
Speaker 2: fight with Liam Wilson where he got dropped dearly, didn't

1154
00:57:00,640 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 2: look great. He ended up rallying and stopping Wilson and

1155
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,640
Speaker 2: a lot of people were saying, hey, man, maybe we

1156
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,959
Speaker 2: need to see that again. But they made this fight.

1157
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,120
Speaker 2: Both guys promised the potential, as I said, of a

1158
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:11,480
Speaker 2: fight of the year. I think they came pretty done

1159
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 2: close of living up to it. But this was an

1160
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 2: upset win. And this is an interesting story. We don't

1161
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: talk about Navarete a lot. We talk about him as

1162
00:57:19,360 --> 00:57:21,720
Speaker 2: being an action hero. We talk about him as he

1163
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,680
Speaker 2: fights all the time. The guy fights fights like every

1164
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 2: three and a half months. I mean, he's always fighting,

1165
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,720
Speaker 2: but it's usually against the next guy in line. There's

1166
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,200
Speaker 2: not a ton of killer names across three divisions on

1167
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,840
Speaker 2: his resume where you're like, oh, yeah, great win, great win.

1168
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering now, beating a guy like Oscar Valdes,

1169
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:38,760
Speaker 2: who is you know. I mean, it's not that far

1170
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:41,600
Speaker 2: removed from knocking out Miguel Burchell and moving up in

1171
00:57:41,640 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 2: way to win a second title for the knockout of

1172
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 2: the Year. This is a great win. I'm not ready

1173
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 2: to put Naverette on a Pumper Pollo list or anything,

1174
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,919
Speaker 2: but we should start really putting respect on his name,

1175
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 2: not just for the warrior spirit and you know, the

1176
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 2: cowboy hatting the cool tats, and all that, but dude,

1177
00:57:56,280 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 2: he's a tough out. It's incredible to believe this guy

1178
00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 2: ever made one twenty two. Now he is long, he's awkward,

1179
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: he's a man in there. And to have Brerera and

1180
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 2: Morales at ringside, to have Joe tess On on the

1181
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: broadcaster ESPN losing his mind and probably his other fluids

1182
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,200
Speaker 2: throughout the whole fight, it deserved it a huge win.

1183
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,520
Speaker 2: Full respect to Navarette and by the way, Chackursse Stevenson,

1184
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,280
Speaker 2: who has fully moved up to one thirty five and

1185
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 2: did widely outclass Oscar Valdez said, hey, I'll fight Navarette.

1186
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 2: I having a catchwaight, if you guys want me to.

1187
00:58:28,840 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 2: But that's more because apparently Lomachenko turned down Shakur's request

1188
00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:34,840
Speaker 2: to fight. I don't know if you know Shaker well

1189
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: here Jed, but he's uh, if anybody's if there's any

1190
00:58:39,160 --> 00:58:41,000
Speaker 2: fighter on the planet who you could say, he looks

1191
00:58:41,040 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: like Floyd. There's some Floyd elements to him. Devin Haney

1192
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,720
Speaker 2: had times chaque Stevenson. Yes, I mean this guy's coming,

1193
00:58:46,760 --> 00:58:47,720
Speaker 2: He's coming, Okay.

1194
00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 3: Dude, he would probably again again. I'm sure that real

1195
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 3: boxing heads will be like you're an idiot. My actual

1196
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 3: biggest takeaway, aside from the navarettes do and I want

1197
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 3: to watch this insane dude fight. I think it would

1198
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:08,440
Speaker 3: be incredibly funny to watch him box Vasilli Limo Trinco,

1199
00:59:08,720 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 3: to see the difference in footwork that those two men.

1200
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 3: I think, like I think, I think I could actually

1201
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:19,680
Speaker 3: watch Vasilli Limochenko completely encircle this man, like actually just

1202
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 3: walk around him in a circle, and it would be great.

1203
00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 3: I would watch that fight. I would pay one hundred

1204
00:59:24,800 --> 00:59:25,880
Speaker 3: dollars to watch that fight.

1205
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,600
Speaker 2: Indeed. Indeed, we also had a show Top Championship Boxing

1206
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,959
Speaker 2: triple header over the weekend from just over the River

1207
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:34,640
Speaker 2: from DC and oxen Hill, Maryland. Luke Thomas and Steven

1208
00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 2: Bredman Edwards on the undercard call. That was nice, big

1209
00:59:37,640 --> 00:59:40,600
Speaker 2: wins for Manuel Rodriguez gaining another world title one hundred

1210
00:59:40,600 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: and eighteen pounds, also Gary Antoine Russell taking out Ken Cruz.

1211
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,800
Speaker 2: But here was the big talk. The opener on this

1212
00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:51,320
Speaker 2: telecast turned out to be a monster upset Via stop it.

1213
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 2: So here's the deal. Trayvon Marshall came in with a

1214
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 2: seven to zero record, a big time sort of tag

1215
00:59:56,400 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 2: on him as a hot prospect. He's going in there

1216
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 2: against Gabriel my S, a two time Venezuelan Olympian who

1217
01:00:02,760 --> 01:00:05,360
Speaker 2: only had seven or six pro fights coming in. He

1218
01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 2: was five zero to one coming in.

1219
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 3: Yes, sell me on Marshall because I don't I had

1220
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 3: no idea who this was until I watched this fight, Like,

1221
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 3: why is he so hyped?

1222
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 2: He's a good prospect. I've called some of his fights

1223
01:00:18,360 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 2: on the on the early prelims there for showtime. He's quick,

1224
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 2: confident and aggressive, got a good right hand, all that stuff.

1225
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,320
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. He was coming in against my Estuary,

1226
01:00:27,320 --> 01:00:30,760
Speaker 2: who's thirty six but was a two time Venezuelan Olympian,

1227
01:00:30,760 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 2: and he only had six profights coming in at five

1228
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:35,880
Speaker 2: oho to one. But yet they set the line here

1229
01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 2: at minus nine to fifty for Marshall, the betting favorite.

1230
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 2: Now I hadn't seen this line coming in. I would

1231
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,680
Speaker 2: have favored Marshall win, of course here, but I wouldn't

1232
01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: have favored him by a lot. And what ended up happening.

1233
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,480
Speaker 2: My Estuary turns in a second round thunderous stoppage to

1234
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 2: score a big upset, and I get what you're saying,

1235
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 2: sort of after the fact, that's it looks like, man,

1236
01:00:56,440 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 2: what did we ever love about Trayvon Marshall? Well, we

1237
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 2: loved him at a certain level taking out the guys

1238
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:03,600
Speaker 2: he was expected to. But I wanted to ask you,

1239
01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 2: because Jed, I did peep your in your LinkedIn page

1240
01:01:07,200 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 2: ahead of uh. Later on we're gonna have a nice

1241
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 2: fun segment getting to know Jed, which you have described

1242
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 2: as a awkward Tinder date between the two of us.

1243
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,280
Speaker 2: It says on there that you're a former professional gambler.

1244
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:21,840
Speaker 2: Hold that thought right there. Boxing odds makers the lines,

1245
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,200
Speaker 2: as we talk about a lot in the show. For

1246
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,720
Speaker 2: Friday's Okay bet boxing matches are usually a lot wider. Now,

1247
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 2: I understand setting lines is more about inducing betting activity

1248
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,120
Speaker 2: than necessarily outright telling you this person's gonna win by

1249
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 2: this much. But can I ask you, professional gambler X,

1250
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 2: why are we so wide in boxing? Who could have

1251
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 2: commissioned this fight? I wanted to let people know here.

1252
01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 2: Gabriel Mastra not a household name coming in, but he

1253
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 2: knocked out Diego Chavez, former world title challenger in his

1254
01:01:51,080 --> 01:01:53,919
Speaker 2: second profight. He scored wins over a fate of Devin

1255
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,160
Speaker 2: Alexander and a good fighter in Michael Fox. He fought

1256
01:01:57,160 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 2: to a draw with unbeaten Terra SCHELLI stuck. So this

1257
01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:02,800
Speaker 2: I had done some things here as a two time Olympian.

1258
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 2: How in the hell was this minus nine point fifty?

1259
01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 2: And what is going on with boxing line making? In

1260
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 2: your opinion?

1261
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 3: So I can't speak to this fight in particular. I

1262
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 3: will also just say that I'm going to default to

1263
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 3: Vegas because I don't know if you've been there, but

1264
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,800
Speaker 3: it's it's not a town of poverty. Yeah, it would

1265
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:26,640
Speaker 3: appear that they're they're doing okay in Vegas, So I'm

1266
01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,880
Speaker 3: gonna assume that they know what they're doing, at least

1267
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 3: in the broad spectrum of things. But when you said that,

1268
01:02:32,960 --> 01:02:36,720
Speaker 3: you know, boxing lines are or not, just like every

1269
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 3: line is not to really show maybe a hey, who's

1270
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,320
Speaker 3: gonna win or not, it's going to incentivize betting. Could

1271
01:02:43,320 --> 01:02:46,720
Speaker 3: also just be to disincentivized betting too. Hey, we really

1272
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,120
Speaker 3: don't want to take any action on Trayvon Marshall because

1273
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 3: we think he is going to win, and so there's

1274
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:56,919
Speaker 3: just not like if if the lines are low, then

1275
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 3: everyone will just get on this and then we're gonna

1276
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 3: be in a position where we're just paying out a

1277
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 3: bunch of winners, so we're gonna disincentivize that, and occasionally

1278
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 3: they're gonna get handed. The cookie jar happens five or

1279
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: six times a year in boxing, where some plus a

1280
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 3: thousand underdog comes through with a big KO. I have

1281
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 3: no idea why they would have set this line at

1282
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 3: minus nine point fifty. Haven't watched either of these dudes

1283
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 3: fight before this one, But immediately as soon as this

1284
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 3: fight started, I said to myself self, that looks like

1285
01:03:24,360 --> 01:03:27,360
Speaker 3: a grown man fighting a child, because it was thirty

1286
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:29,520
Speaker 3: six year old dude fighting a twenty two year old.

1287
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 3: I personally have made this assessment for MMA and other things.

1288
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,960
Speaker 3: I would never trust a twenty two year old child

1289
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 3: with a heavy responsibility for anything, because I was twenty

1290
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 3: two once BC. I assume at some point in time

1291
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:49,120
Speaker 3: you were twenty two, would you call yourself reliable? Would

1292
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 3: you call yourself a good, smart person who maximized the

1293
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,400
Speaker 3: things that you were doing. I was an idiot.

1294
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:59,240
Speaker 2: I want to call myself reliable till about age thirty three.

1295
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,680
Speaker 2: My wife would probably say I'm not there yet, But

1296
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 2: at twenty two I was an abject train wreck.

1297
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:07,280
Speaker 3: Yeah right, I didn't have any Like, I know, it's

1298
01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 3: sure he can be further along in that aspect of

1299
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,440
Speaker 3: life in sport, but like he's still a kid. He

1300
01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 3: might wake up one day and his acutane like f's

1301
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:18,920
Speaker 3: up his hormones and he's like, oh, well, I don't

1302
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 3: I'm not feeling it today. Whatever, he just can't do

1303
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 3: shit anymore. So I have no idea why you'd ever

1304
01:04:24,600 --> 01:04:26,720
Speaker 3: install a twenty two year old kid as a minus

1305
01:04:26,720 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 3: one thousand betting favorite. That seems like bad, bad principles.

1306
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,760
Speaker 3: And I hope that some people who were more in

1307
01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 3: tune de boxing took advantage because if I wasn't like,

1308
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 3: it wasn't a runaway, but he wasn't winning the fight

1309
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:42,840
Speaker 3: in my estimation before he got knocked out.

1310
01:04:43,560 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Well, he's facing a guy with extreme experience there two

1311
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 2: time Olympia had beaten in six pro fights, had faced

1312
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:52,200
Speaker 2: some legit guys. So I don't understand that line. I

1313
01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:53,680
Speaker 2: believe that was Fan Duel who had that line. I

1314
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:57,040
Speaker 2: saw Luke Thomas sweet that out. But Trevon Marshall had

1315
01:04:57,040 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 2: looked good, but again he'd been fighting the kind of

1316
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:00,920
Speaker 2: competition a guy who one to O two and oh

1317
01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:03,520
Speaker 2: three and oh four, Oh should be fighting. This was

1318
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,240
Speaker 2: a step up and he got stepped down. He did

1319
01:05:06,320 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 2: put on Instagram that he's gonna bounce back. He you know,

1320
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 2: he's gonna learn from this. All good on that regard,

1321
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 2: but a big win for my estray and an interesting

1322
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 2: turn of events there to close their jet, jed, what

1323
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 2: kind of professional gambler were you?

1324
01:05:18,280 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 3: Oh? I was. I was doing sports betting, primarily on MMA.

1325
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:26,560
Speaker 3: Also again you were checking my LinkedIn so like it's

1326
01:05:26,560 --> 01:05:28,000
Speaker 3: one of those things where you put it on the

1327
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,200
Speaker 3: resume and like the total validity of it.

1328
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,919
Speaker 2: Is, like I have placed a few beds at times?

1329
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 2: Does that make me I did, in.

1330
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:39,360
Speaker 3: Fact have my primary income come from gambling for a

1331
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:40,440
Speaker 3: period of my life.

1332
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,640
Speaker 2: Hold that thought into em later on today, let's keep

1333
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 2: the train moving topic number four, speaking of Anthony Joshua

1334
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 2: versus Helenius there in the UK sold out stadium. Everybody

1335
01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:56,760
Speaker 2: was there, including Connor McGregor, who looked like typical Connor

1336
01:05:56,840 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 2: McGregor of late, a little bloated, probably more that's just

1337
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:05,080
Speaker 2: me editorializing. Uh. He was ringside, he made a lot

1338
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 2: of noise. He sat down with uh Talk Sports Gareth

1339
01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:13,560
Speaker 2: A Davis the Warlock himself to lay out a three

1340
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 2: fight comeback plan over the next year or so. In

1341
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 2: the UFC. He also very sloppily post fight called out

1342
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,080
Speaker 2: ks I to a bare knuckle fight. So basically, Jed,

1343
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: this was typical Connor of late, which means I'm not

1344
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 2: sure this guy is ever gonna fight again or should.

1345
01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 2: But let's go piece by piece before I get your

1346
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,600
Speaker 2: reaction on what we did see, because you know, Connor's

1347
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 2: not in the usatopool fellas yet he thinks he's gonna

1348
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,240
Speaker 2: fight soon. Let's listen to Connor's three fight plan here

1349
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,200
Speaker 2: with the Warlock Camber. I know who you fight me,

1350
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 2: Shan Rack. You all gonna do it.

1351
01:06:54,040 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 3: Yet?

1352
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 2: A chance and grabbing. That's what are we gonna see

1353
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,919
Speaker 2: you in another boxing match as well? The second rich

1354
01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 2: fight history.

1355
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:04,880
Speaker 4: When you full Floyd Mayweather, Yeah, am my chaos.

1356
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 2: O y but he couldn't box ye he couldn't box yeats.

1357
01:07:07,160 --> 01:07:14,080
Speaker 2: If you will up guys Chandler next December, I make

1358
01:07:14,160 --> 01:07:17,640
Speaker 2: Gays b NF and then we'll do Nate as brilliant chance.

1359
01:07:17,680 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 4: Thank you.

1360
01:07:20,520 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 2: All right, let's start there, Jed, And if anyone say,

1361
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: oh BC hates Connor. I love Connor. That's why I'm

1362
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 2: being so harsh because it's obvious this guy's a trade.

1363
01:07:28,800 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 2: This guy is me at twenty two. But right now,

1364
01:07:31,640 --> 01:07:35,919
Speaker 2: so Jed, is he ever gonna fight in the UFC again?

1365
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 2: Is he really fighting? Notice the verbiage there he said

1366
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,240
Speaker 2: Chandler because I have to that tends that tends to believe.

1367
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 2: That tends me to.

1368
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:47,640
Speaker 3: Believe Chandler I've ever heard in my life.

1369
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 2: So are they gonna give him the brock Lesner exception

1370
01:07:50,720 --> 01:07:51,960
Speaker 2: or what what's happening here?

1371
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,439
Speaker 3: One thousand. I've been saying this forever. I don't I'm

1372
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 3: still not confident he is actually fighting Michael Chandler. I've

1373
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 3: been pretty adamant that he is not going to fight

1374
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:04,640
Speaker 3: Michael Chandler. But I'm pretty sure that when he does

1375
01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 3: come back, it will be with the Brockleisner exception because

1376
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 3: they can do it and it will be worth it

1377
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 3: to them monetarily, and there will be some blowback. But

1378
01:08:13,240 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if you remember, this crazy thing happened

1379
01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year, Dana White hit his

1380
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,439
Speaker 3: wife and we moved past that in like three weeks.

1381
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 3: So I'm pretty sure that the UFC can can take

1382
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:26,000
Speaker 3: the big bag of money that Connor Fighting presents and

1383
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:30,040
Speaker 3: move past a bad headline or two of oh the exemption,

1384
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 3: bah blah blah.

1385
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 2: Right, Like the general public is going to be so

1386
01:08:33,400 --> 01:08:36,479
Speaker 2: freaking excited for McGregor Chandler like we were when Brock

1387
01:08:36,560 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 2: came back. That like, even though Mark Haunt deserves a

1388
01:08:40,320 --> 01:08:43,519
Speaker 2: lot of our respect financial money a lot, Mark Hunt

1389
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 2: deserves a lot. Right now, Brock took the exception, popped

1390
01:08:48,439 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 2: for them an insane amount of peds and looked like

1391
01:08:51,360 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 2: he was a superhero. And we're all like, you know what,

1392
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 2: they'll probably just let Connor do the same thing. And

1393
01:08:56,439 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 2: you know what, because the membership has its privilege, nobody's

1394
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:00,720
Speaker 2: gonna care. You're right, nobody's gonna hear.

1395
01:09:00,960 --> 01:09:03,080
Speaker 3: Why wouldn't they, Like I've seen some people be like, oh,

1396
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:06,280
Speaker 3: the fighters would be pissed, Like, sure they would. Why

1397
01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:09,679
Speaker 3: does the UFC care? Do they care at all? No,

1398
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:11,519
Speaker 3: Like the fighters should have been mad when they got

1399
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 3: cut out of four Billy and they didn't do shit.

1400
01:09:14,120 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 3: Then they're not gonna do shit because Connor gets to

1401
01:09:16,080 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 3: fight again, so whatever, Like the UC is just gonna

1402
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 3: do it on whatever timeline Connor wants because it's worth

1403
01:09:20,920 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 3: a lot of money, and one bad headline isn't gonna

1404
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,160
Speaker 3: kill him. So I'm really not sure he's fighting Chandler.

1405
01:09:26,840 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 3: I do think the thing he outlined there is the actual,

1406
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 3: like correct path forward of comeback fight Chandler, assuming he wins,

1407
01:09:34,600 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 3: if he can win, big assumption there, fighting Gaichie for

1408
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 3: the BMF belt or whatever, totally reasonable, and then after

1409
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 3: that the Nate trilogy has sort of just been waiting forever.

1410
01:09:45,680 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 3: So I think that makes a ton of sense on

1411
01:09:47,920 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 3: a timeline, dude.

1412
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 2: If we get it. If we actually get to the

1413
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 2: Nate trilogy, the odds of Connor losing both the Chandler

1414
01:09:56,520 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 2: and gai Chie fights would be huge. She would kill him,

1415
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 2: especially by knockout and both if it had. You know, yeah,

1416
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 2: could he beat Channeler, of course, could he be Agent?

1417
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 2: It's possible. Of course, it's possible. But what has what

1418
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 2: over the past year has given you any level of

1419
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 2: confidence that it's still likely. No, That's why I'm saying

1420
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 2: I love the guy, but you know, I'm kind of done, dude.

1421
01:10:14,560 --> 01:10:17,000
Speaker 2: If we get to the nay Diaz fight, though, remember

1422
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,280
Speaker 2: both of these first two fights were twenty sixteen. Dude,

1423
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:23,519
Speaker 2: this is gonna look a lot like Robbie versus Nick

1424
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,880
Speaker 2: Diaz Part two. It will And that was some of

1425
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 2: the saddest grossest shit I know. A lot of like

1426
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,479
Speaker 2: hardcorees were like, no, man, that fight was great. They

1427
01:10:30,479 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 2: went to war. No, that was some of the saddest

1428
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,639
Speaker 2: grossest emimation I've seen in a while. Since it's not

1429
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:39,599
Speaker 2: necessarily the heart attack match between Rip Kimbo and Dada,

1430
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:43,240
Speaker 2: But dude, that's it's it's gonna be gross. Like you

1431
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 2: they here's what I'm saying that probably should just do

1432
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 2: Connor Nate. Now, why would you line up Connor to

1433
01:10:48,360 --> 01:10:50,640
Speaker 2: lose to these guys. Your answer would be because we

1434
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 2: made them ultimate fighter coaches and they're supposed to fight

1435
01:10:53,040 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 2: at the end. But uh, there's I don't know. So

1436
01:10:56,880 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 2: here's the other part about Connor.

1437
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,919
Speaker 3: I would agree they should do Connor Nate, but Nate's

1438
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:02,880
Speaker 3: indisposed at the moment.

1439
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:05,880
Speaker 2: So do you believe by the way Nate's manager saying

1440
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:08,599
Speaker 2: he made like upwards of twenty million in that fight, Yes,

1441
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 2: I believe that's not a lot of fricking money. Wow,

1442
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 2: So something I've editorialized. You know, remember when Connor got

1443
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,280
Speaker 2: caught in the bathroom with that woman at the at

1444
01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:18,719
Speaker 2: the NBA Finals halftime, you know, and then Connor's caught

1445
01:11:18,840 --> 01:11:21,120
Speaker 2: a lot of a lot of videos with women and

1446
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 2: people like finally, people are like BC and my dms,

1447
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 2: they're like, yo, obviously he's got an open marriage. Man,

1448
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 2: Stop worrying about this guy's personal way he married. Are

1449
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:31,680
Speaker 2: they married, because I don't know if you were. I'm

1450
01:11:31,680 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 2: actually not sure if they're married. Indeed, Devil and I

1451
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:35,880
Speaker 2: don't know if they're married. I don't know. But they

1452
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 2: really portrayed him during Connor's documentary as the ultimate family man.

1453
01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,200
Speaker 2: Let's go to the videotape. Here's how Connor arrived to

1454
01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:49,040
Speaker 2: the fight documentary on Saturday. Yeah, it looks pretty open

1455
01:11:49,080 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 2: to me, Jed. Probably not my business to say that

1456
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 2: out loud, but yeah, that's where we're at. And then

1457
01:11:55,080 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 2: you mentioned it, and a lot of people mentioned it,

1458
01:11:56,960 --> 01:12:01,320
Speaker 2: including Luke Thomas angrily on Twitter. After the fight, Anthony

1459
01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: Joshua had gone through the ropes to go celebrate outside,

1460
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:08,040
Speaker 2: Connor brought out one of his forged Irish stouts.

1461
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,720
Speaker 3: I saw this live and it was the funniest thing

1462
01:12:10,720 --> 01:12:11,160
Speaker 3: in the world.

1463
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,000
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, AJ's nose is still gushing blood from that fight.

1464
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 2: That's that's something right there. What do you think happened

1465
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 2: to the rest of that beer? You think Connor chugged it?

1466
01:12:20,920 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 3: Probably he didn't throw it at anybody. I don't think so.

1467
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:29,280
Speaker 3: He probably just in all later. The AJ thing is incredible.

1468
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:33,479
Speaker 3: I did not see the bus entry. I missed that. Look,

1469
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:35,760
Speaker 3: I'm not here to judge his personal life and that

1470
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 3: if if yeah, not mine. If he and his again

1471
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 3: I don't think they're married. If they are, and if

1472
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:42,680
Speaker 3: he and his wife are, okay, if not, he and

1473
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 3: his fiance whatever makes them happy, I'm fine. Hands on,

1474
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:50,839
Speaker 3: I'm happy. It can't be that bad, right, I agree?

1475
01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 3: Who is that? Sheryl Crow nailed it? But yeah, the

1476
01:12:56,840 --> 01:13:02,360
Speaker 3: forcing uh the awful beer after dude, that's the thing. Like,

1477
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 3: that's remarkable.

1478
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 2: Connor is so far past carriature right now, and it

1479
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:11,200
Speaker 2: kills me because, dude, where he was on top of

1480
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:14,639
Speaker 2: the mountain after the Eddie fight will just never be rivaled.

1481
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,680
Speaker 2: And if you want to say, who cares about the

1482
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 2: second half of his career, look at the money he

1483
01:13:18,720 --> 01:13:20,760
Speaker 2: made against Floyd. Look at you know, he got into

1484
01:13:20,800 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 2: the biggest fight in the history against a bibe. Look

1485
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 2: at all this stuff. Yeah, but the second half of

1486
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 2: his career has been not only a train wreck, it's

1487
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:33,559
Speaker 2: just missed opportunity after missed opportunity for the biggest, greatest

1488
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:36,240
Speaker 2: lightning rod in the history of the sport, a guy

1489
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 2: who has fueled so much fandom and financial success for

1490
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 2: the company. And to see him in the final years

1491
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,200
Speaker 2: here while he still may or may not potentially have it,

1492
01:13:45,760 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 2: not using it or I mean, it's it's rough. It's

1493
01:13:48,920 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 2: been rough, but I gotta get over that and move on.

1494
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 2: Speaking of really worthless super fights that may or may

1495
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:59,280
Speaker 2: not ever happen, like Chandler versus Connor for the tough

1496
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,000
Speaker 2: coaching champ Chip. There's this another one topic five that

1497
01:14:03,080 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 2: we hate talking about, and that's Zuck versus Musk, the

1498
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:11,439
Speaker 2: billionaire battles. It's like Trump versus McMahon part two there

1499
01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 2: from rustle Mania all those years back. So here's the

1500
01:14:14,360 --> 01:14:19,959
Speaker 2: latest update yesterday on threads whatever meta induced social platform

1501
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:23,880
Speaker 2: that is at Zuck has revealed that yet it's time

1502
01:14:23,880 --> 01:14:26,160
Speaker 2: to move on from this fight. Let's go to the

1503
01:14:26,280 --> 01:14:29,360
Speaker 2: screen grab here from Luke Thomas's Twitter Zuck is saying,

1504
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:31,400
Speaker 2: I think we all can agree that Elon isn't serious.

1505
01:14:31,439 --> 01:14:33,400
Speaker 2: It's time to move on. I offered a real date,

1506
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,080
Speaker 2: Dana offered to make this legit for charity. Elon won't confirm.

1507
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 2: Then he says he needs surgery. Now he has to

1508
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:42,880
Speaker 2: do a practice round in my backyard instead. And they

1509
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,920
Speaker 2: did share those leaked text messages somebody did. If they're

1510
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:48,519
Speaker 2: real or not, I don't know online and then he says,

1511
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:50,880
Speaker 2: if Elon ever gets serious about a real date, he

1512
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,240
Speaker 2: knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on.

1513
01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 2: I'm going to ball. I don't care where you're going, Zuck,

1514
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:58,320
Speaker 2: leave me alone. The other updates before I get your

1515
01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:02,360
Speaker 2: reaction here, Jed was previous Elon Musk had tweeted out

1516
01:15:02,479 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 2: can we throw to that one? That uh, he doesn't

1517
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:08,040
Speaker 2: want the UFC to be involved at all. In fact,

1518
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 2: he says this this fight would be managed by him

1519
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 2: and Zuck's foundations. The livestream would be on their platforms,

1520
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:18,280
Speaker 2: and he's referencing a comment Dana White made on the

1521
01:15:18,320 --> 01:15:22,840
Speaker 2: Mike Tyson Hot Boxing podcast where Dana White said, I

1522
01:15:22,960 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 2: had just had a meeting with the Minister of Culture

1523
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 2: in Italy about doing this fight at the Roman colisseum Well,

1524
01:15:34,040 --> 01:15:37,280
Speaker 2: Zuck says it's over. I don't know if I should

1525
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 2: ask you like your reaction, because obviously your reaction is like,

1526
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:44,559
Speaker 2: I'm glad f this, but in your in the People

1527
01:15:44,680 --> 01:15:48,280
Speaker 2: versus Dana White in twenty twenty three, his shameless like

1528
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,040
Speaker 2: lust for this fight is it the worst part of

1529
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:56,200
Speaker 2: Dana's public But you know, we've had wife slap, power slap.

1530
01:15:56,760 --> 01:15:58,800
Speaker 2: We've had a lot of bad Dana moments this year,

1531
01:15:59,600 --> 01:16:06,080
Speaker 2: the Zuck versus Musk charade. I mean, can we fill

1532
01:16:06,080 --> 01:16:08,040
Speaker 2: out good undercards and get out of the apex here

1533
01:16:08,080 --> 01:16:10,120
Speaker 2: and stop worrying about this BS, please.

1534
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it from data on this one. It's

1535
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:15,200
Speaker 3: better than when he hit his wife, so you know,

1536
01:16:15,479 --> 01:16:18,920
Speaker 3: at least we're not doing that anymore. It's great now,

1537
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,760
Speaker 3: this is I get this one, which is why I

1538
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:26,080
Speaker 3: maybe at some level can understand power slap, at least

1539
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:28,120
Speaker 3: the idea behind it. But it's a very silly and

1540
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 3: stupid idea that's not going to work, So you should

1541
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 3: abandoned it and at least not shove it down my throat.

1542
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,719
Speaker 3: But I've also largely like I'm not nearly as anti

1543
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 3: power slap, as many other people in this space are.

1544
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,360
Speaker 3: I just kind of don't care and I don't have

1545
01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 3: to engage with it in that way. I totally get

1546
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:44,840
Speaker 3: this one because in the thing where he says he

1547
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:48,080
Speaker 3: talked to the Minister of Italy or Italian Commerce or

1548
01:16:48,080 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 3: whatever it was, he very explicitly is like, hey, this

1549
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 3: would be the biggest fight in the history of the planet.

1550
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:56,839
Speaker 3: I think that this would do a billion dollars in revenue,

1551
01:16:57,120 --> 01:17:00,360
Speaker 3: And well, maybe that's high. The other part of it

1552
01:17:00,400 --> 01:17:02,760
Speaker 3: are all right, if these two dudes ever were to fight,

1553
01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,120
Speaker 3: it would be a cultural event on of the likes

1554
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 3: we haven't seen in at modern times.

1555
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 2: You're saying it would be bigger than Joe Frasier versus

1556
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 2: Muhammad al Leap Part one in Medison Square Garden.

1557
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:19,920
Speaker 3: Is that what you're saying? Yes, yes, quality, it's not

1558
01:17:19,960 --> 01:17:23,800
Speaker 3: from quality obviously, but more people would watch that fight

1559
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:28,840
Speaker 3: than anything other than the World Cup, maybe, like legitimately,

1560
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,120
Speaker 3: because the World Cup does like a billion viewers or

1561
01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 3: whatever globally. Outside of that, Like, I don't think anything's

1562
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,400
Speaker 3: gonna touch what these two actually fighting would do. So

1563
01:17:38,479 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 3: I get Dana's play for the money, Like, hey, you

1564
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:46,840
Speaker 3: gotta WM's got that, got that loan note, carry on them,

1565
01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:49,280
Speaker 3: try to pay off like that that can cover it all.

1566
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:52,639
Speaker 3: So I get it. So it's fine with it. It's

1567
01:17:52,720 --> 01:17:55,599
Speaker 3: is it shameless and stupid, of course, But this whole

1568
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 3: thing has been very dumb. U I I think it's

1569
01:17:59,560 --> 01:18:04,640
Speaker 3: been very I can you just think of how deranged

1570
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 3: a person you have to be to make Mark Zuckerberg

1571
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:11,920
Speaker 3: come off as like a totally chill, reasonable guy, Like

1572
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 3: think about the caricature zuck was like six months ago even,

1573
01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 3: and now like, oh yeah, he's the rational one. He's like,

1574
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 3: he's the guy I rather have a beer with than

1575
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 3: this insane dude who's making the worst jokes possible and

1576
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,479
Speaker 3: clearly ducking the fight like he clearly doesn't want anything

1577
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 3: to do suck. So it's it's insane.

1578
01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:36,840
Speaker 2: I know when they announced it, I did play Devil's

1579
01:18:36,840 --> 01:18:39,320
Speaker 2: Advocate with Luke, and I agree with you. If it happened,

1580
01:18:39,320 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 2: it would be just a bizarre crossover half to see it,

1581
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,160
Speaker 2: the whole world would stop. I guess Dana's shame level

1582
01:18:45,400 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 2: of lusting after this was only compared in terms of

1583
01:18:48,560 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 2: his like I will get habim to get out of

1584
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 2: retirement watch and then you know, eighteen dinners later, Abem's like, no,

1585
01:18:54,560 --> 01:18:56,840
Speaker 2: I promised my late father leave me alone. I want

1586
01:18:56,840 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 2: to go get fat, right, So it's like, yeah, I

1587
01:18:59,400 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe I'm too deep in the in the

1588
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 2: anti Dana Weeds this year because he's made me. Maybe

1589
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:05,000
Speaker 2: that's what happened.

1590
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, no, this is this is not even close

1591
01:19:07,880 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 3: to the worst things Dana's done in a while. This

1592
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:14,160
Speaker 3: is this is fine, Like I totally understand and can

1593
01:19:14,200 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 3: even appreciate this one.

1594
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 2: So there's this thing in pro wrestling fandom sometimes jed,

1595
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 2: where you know there could be short lived factions in

1596
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 2: pro wrestling, like you know, duos or whatever, or slogans

1597
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,640
Speaker 2: that get popular and they make a T shirt about it,

1598
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 2: where you could say, as a fan, Hey, that's the

1599
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 2: lamest shit I've ever seen, but I better buy that

1600
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:34,520
Speaker 2: T shirt now because in five years it'll be hilarious

1601
01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 2: to roll that out right, like zoofa boxing T shirt

1602
01:19:37,160 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 2: for example, Is there any part of you that's, like,

1603
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:41,240
Speaker 2: you know, I might secretly pick up one of those

1604
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 2: Zuck versus Musk at the UFC shop just so ten

1605
01:19:44,920 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 2: years from now at like, you know, growing out with

1606
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:49,000
Speaker 2: my boys. I can pop everybody.

1607
01:19:49,080 --> 01:19:52,960
Speaker 3: No, no, I will do everything in my power not

1608
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,719
Speaker 3: to give either of those gentlemen any of my dollars

1609
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:57,759
Speaker 3: or contribute in any way to their.

1610
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 2: They're reading your emails right now, just so you know.

1611
01:20:00,479 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 3: Oh and that's fine. Look they I'm sure they have

1612
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,000
Speaker 3: a lot of dirt on me, and that's okay. I

1613
01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,599
Speaker 3: will if this thing ever did happen, which it won't.

1614
01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,160
Speaker 3: I don't. It's it's not real. It is extremely false.

1615
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:13,479
Speaker 3: If by a miracle it happened, I would campaign heavily

1616
01:20:13,560 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 3: to attend as a media member and to cover it live,

1617
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 3: because why not. Why not be part of the circus.

1618
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 3: The circus is fun sometimes, even if it's really really stupid,

1619
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:24,960
Speaker 3: which is what this would be.

1620
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,160
Speaker 2: It's hard for me to get all up at e

1621
01:20:27,240 --> 01:20:29,120
Speaker 2: and be mad because I like a lot of circus

1622
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,040
Speaker 2: in my combat. But this is this is extreme. But hey,

1623
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 2: yeah my combat fifty two year old, the elon who

1624
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's Twitter really called X. I don't know

1625
01:20:39,400 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 2: what's happening in the world anymore. Let's move on. But

1626
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,960
Speaker 2: Zuck is pretty fit, and speaking of being fit.

1627
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,000
Speaker 3: Dude, Musk is afraid of him and he's calling him

1628
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 3: a chicken. It's incredible. He's like, this is incredible, incredible.

1629
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:54,759
Speaker 2: Before we get to know Jed a little bit better

1630
01:20:54,800 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 2: here talking about Zuck's fit Bod, how about we talk

1671
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:15,280

01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:22,559
Speaker 3: absolutely did that?

1675

Speaker 2: All right? Without further ado, we know Jed is not

1676
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:29,320
Speaker 2: quite washed. But what else do we know about Jed?

01:23:47,400 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 2: what Luke has done with a bron lately. Filling in

1684
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:54,680

1687
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:05,639
Speaker 3: I don't know, but uh, let's do it, okay.

1688
01:24:06,040 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 2: Topic number question one, Jed you'r aforementioned LinkedIn page says

1689
01:24:11,600 --> 01:24:14,280
Speaker 2: you have get this, Jed? Are you extra parently you

1690
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:18,920
Speaker 2: did get this a doctorate in law from Georgia State University.

1691
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 3: Holy shit, dude, I'm a college tramp out. Oh my god.

1692
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 2: So here's my question, Jed, congratulations. First of all, didn't

1693
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,719
Speaker 2: see this coming. Why the hell are you covering cage

1694
01:24:28,760 --> 01:24:30,200
Speaker 2: fighting for a living? Dude?

1695
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 3: Uh, it's funny you say that. I sometimes have that

1696
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:38,320
Speaker 3: exact thought when things get real dumb and you're doing

1697
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,840
Speaker 3: like you're deep into covering a Bellator card, when it's

1698
01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 3: been a thousand decisions, and you're like, I could be

1699
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 3: an attorney right now. Why did I make this choice

1700
01:24:47,479 --> 01:24:50,000
Speaker 3: of my life? The answer is because being an attorney

1701
01:24:50,120 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 3: largely sucks. If anyone out there is watching this and

1702
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:54,879
Speaker 3: is an attorney, I bet they agree with me because

1703
01:24:55,160 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 3: most of the attorneys I either went to law school with,

1704
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,479
Speaker 3: or I know outside of it, or like, just a

1705
01:25:00,479 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 3: lot of the job is really trash. My personal experience

1706
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:08,160
Speaker 3: of it was the only fulfilling work paid like shit

1707
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:11,920
Speaker 3: because you're doing you know, public defense or whatever, which

1708
01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:15,360
Speaker 3: is extremely stressful and pays like shit, but at least

1709
01:25:15,400 --> 01:25:18,719
Speaker 3: you're doing something that feels meaningful. Or all the things

1710
01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:23,120
Speaker 3: that pay really well are morally questionable to say the

1711
01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 3: least so I bounced pretty quickly into my law career.

1712
01:25:26,800 --> 01:25:28,599
Speaker 3: I was like, this just isn't for me. Let's find

1713
01:25:28,640 --> 01:25:29,040
Speaker 3: something else.

1714
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:31,920
Speaker 2: You did the work. Have you got a you're a doctor,

1715
01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:34,639
Speaker 2: your doctor, Jed Meshew number two, that's true.

1716
01:25:35,160 --> 01:25:37,879
Speaker 3: Technically that is true. Yes, I do have a doctorate.

1717
01:25:37,960 --> 01:25:40,920
Speaker 3: I can go around. Most attorneys do not do so.

1718
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:44,320
Speaker 2: But the same conversation I had with Luke Thomas when

1719
01:25:44,360 --> 01:25:46,759
Speaker 2: he revealed to me that he was formerly a Washington,

1720
01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 2: d C. Speech writer for some of the most famous

1721
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:53,240
Speaker 2: politicians over the last twenty years, I'm like, why are

1722
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:58,800
Speaker 2: you covering bellator from South Dakota? Then? Congratulations, Jed. I

1723
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 2: mean you've you've turned this into a very viable career

1724
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:03,520
Speaker 2: or a full time writer a heck of a podcaster.

1725
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 2: But if I should step outside of the law, can

1726
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:08,559
Speaker 2: you defend me?

1727
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:12,040
Speaker 3: Not now, I can't. I let my bar by bar

1728
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:15,599
Speaker 3: passage lapse because it wasn't gonna use it. I mean

1729
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 3: I could get it back if you like really needed

1730
01:26:17,520 --> 01:26:21,759
Speaker 3: me to, I guess, but you want me making your case.

1731
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 2: Let's see if I end up getting fired for something

1732
01:26:26,560 --> 01:26:28,640
Speaker 2: I said, were you on the defense or were you

1733
01:26:29,040 --> 01:26:30,200
Speaker 2: for the good guys? Where were you?

1734
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 3: I largely did plain network.

1735
01:26:34,240 --> 01:26:36,880
Speaker 2: Interesting stuff there. Question number two on getting to know

1736
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 2: Jed which fight is most responsible for igniting your MMA fandom?

1737
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 3: Ooh, it's a really good question. So I've been in

1738
01:26:49,120 --> 01:26:52,480
Speaker 3: MFM for a very long time. I first got introduced

1739
01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,679
Speaker 3: to it pre like two thousand and two, two thousand

1740
01:26:55,680 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 3: and three, when I was in high school, just making

1741
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,080
Speaker 3: that transition up from middle school high school. But I

1742
01:27:01,120 --> 01:27:03,719
Speaker 3: wasn't like deeply ingrained in the sport. I just kind

1743
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 3: of would see some fights every now and again. I

1744
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 3: think the it's very very stupid. Uh. The first season,

1745
01:27:10,360 --> 01:27:12,720
Speaker 3: the Tough like did a lot to sort of make

1746
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 3: that more accessible. I think the first fight that I

1747
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,479
Speaker 3: really watched and was like, this is very very dumb,

1748
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:23,960
Speaker 3: but I'm now I'm now all in was It's either

1749
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:29,960
Speaker 3: Fade or versus Zuluzeno because that was just hilarious and

1750
01:27:30,000 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 3: I watched that clip like a billion times. I think

1751
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 3: the first pay per view that was ever like a

1752
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:38,880
Speaker 3: really big one was Matt Hughes Frank Trig two.

1753
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:42,640
Speaker 2: I watch the Running Slam or was that the first one?

1754
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:44,880
Speaker 3: I mean they were both the same, but yeah, yeah,

1755
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:47,400
Speaker 3: the Running Slam finished like that was I think that

1756
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:49,160
Speaker 3: was the first pay per view I ever watched with

1757
01:27:49,200 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 3: like some friends and was like, oh, this is very

1758
01:27:51,920 --> 01:27:54,679
Speaker 3: very cool. And then I started to do the forum

1759
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:57,759
Speaker 3: thing a little bit, you know, being an Internet kid.

1760
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,840
Speaker 3: And then when Fade or Beatsuluzino was like this rules,

1761
01:28:02,160 --> 01:28:04,280
Speaker 3: this is this is it for me. I'm here now.

1762
01:28:05,360 --> 01:28:08,639
Speaker 2: I didn't expect Fade or zuluzin you, but everybody does

1763
01:28:08,680 --> 01:28:12,759
Speaker 2: have a entry point. I watched early ufcs on black

1764
01:28:12,760 --> 01:28:15,080
Speaker 2: Box pay per view, the first four or five, like

1765
01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:17,360
Speaker 2: a lot of people, and I was in and out

1766
01:28:17,360 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 2: on fandom. I mean I watched like, remember when UFC

1767
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 2: would be on Best Damn Sports Show a lot, they

1768
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:25,800
Speaker 2: like Shamrock be on there, and I was watching in

1769
01:28:25,840 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 2: and out then. But it was really the the Chuck

1770
01:28:29,560 --> 01:28:32,520
Speaker 2: Liddell getting knocked out by Rampage was the fight that

1771
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 2: that brought back on like a deep level because I

1772
01:28:35,080 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 2: was working at ESPN and that was the first time

1773
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,679
Speaker 2: they took it seriously that they were like, there's something

1774
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:42,520
Speaker 2: in this sport, you know what I'm saying.

1775
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 3: That that was the first fight that I probably spent

1776
01:28:46,680 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 3: like the most time thinking about as them doing them

1777
01:28:50,360 --> 01:28:52,360
Speaker 3: doing that rematch and like it was so built up,

1778
01:28:52,400 --> 01:28:54,280
Speaker 3: and I was like, I really don't know who to pick.

1779
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 3: Chuck has looked so good, but like Rampage already has

1780
01:28:57,240 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 3: the win blah blah blah. And then it was over

1781
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:01,200
Speaker 3: very quickly, and I was like, oh, I'm an idiot.

1782
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Chuck was on the cover of ESPN the magazine

1783
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:05,639
Speaker 2: at that point, which was like a really big deal

1784
01:29:05,680 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 2: for cage fighting. There you go. Indeed, not quite Roger A.

1785
01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:13,240
Speaker 2: Werta on Sports Illustrated. But question number three, Jed Michu,

1786
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:15,879
Speaker 2: what is your alcohol drink of choice?

1787
01:29:16,640 --> 01:29:19,439
Speaker 3: Oh, this is easy. I am from the South. I

1788
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:22,800
Speaker 3: was born and raised in the South. I've functionally lived

1789
01:29:22,800 --> 01:29:25,679
Speaker 3: in the South my entire life, except for a brief

1790
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:28,080
Speaker 3: period where I lived in Vegas doing the gambling thing.

1791
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 3: Give me bourbon and we can start there. And then

1792
01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 3: my mixer is going to either be ginger ail or

1793
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,559
Speaker 3: sweet tea. You can do it neat, but I if

1794
01:29:38,600 --> 01:29:40,800
Speaker 3: I'm having several, I will need a mixer. I'm not

1795
01:29:40,840 --> 01:29:41,360
Speaker 3: that manly.

1796
01:29:41,560 --> 01:29:43,120
Speaker 2: That's very south of you. I like that.

1797
01:29:43,280 --> 01:29:47,160
Speaker 3: I like extremely southern there. It is all right, bourban

1798
01:29:47,200 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 3: and sweet tea is the drink of the gods, as

1799
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:50,080
Speaker 3: far as I'm concerned.

1800
01:29:50,160 --> 01:29:51,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think I've ever had that. I'm not

1801
01:29:51,800 --> 01:29:53,639
Speaker 2: a bourbon guy, you know, I mean, I got to play.

1802
01:29:53,640 --> 01:29:56,360
Speaker 3: It'll change your life. BC. Next time you come to

1803
01:29:56,400 --> 01:29:59,080
Speaker 3: the A, I'll introduce you. You'll never go back. I'm

1804
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:01,960
Speaker 3: also a wild term is my casual bourbon of choice

1805
01:30:01,960 --> 01:30:02,679
Speaker 3: for those wondering.

1806
01:30:02,960 --> 01:30:05,240
Speaker 2: All right, there you go. But you can buy all

1807
01:30:05,280 --> 01:30:07,760
Speaker 2: you single ladies can buy or single men, depending on

1808
01:30:07,800 --> 01:30:09,960
Speaker 2: your lean, Jed can buy you a drink when they

1809
01:30:09,960 --> 01:30:12,400
Speaker 2: see you out. Thank you. Question number four, getting to

1810
01:30:12,439 --> 01:30:17,080
Speaker 2: know Jed better as a former, pre established professional gambler

1811
01:30:17,120 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 2: living in Las Vegas, what was your most degenerate rock

1812
01:30:20,840 --> 01:30:21,559
Speaker 2: bottom moment?

1813
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 3: My most rock bottom moment was earlier this year. I

1814
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 3: don't know if you were aware of this. PC. Valentineashipchenko

1815
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:36,400
Speaker 3: been a pretty big supporter of her and against Tyler Santos.

1816
01:30:36,479 --> 01:30:40,280
Speaker 3: I very boldly put my entire gambling bankroll on her,

1817
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,080
Speaker 3: and that was a sweat. It was a big, big sweat.

1818
01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:45,360
Speaker 3: And then I was like, you know what, Alexa Grasso,

1819
01:30:45,920 --> 01:30:48,880
Speaker 3: she can't win this fight. There's just nothing I've seen

1820
01:30:48,920 --> 01:30:51,200
Speaker 3: her do has led me to believe that she could

1821
01:30:51,200 --> 01:30:53,599
Speaker 3: win this fight. We ran it back and.

1822
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 2: Oh boy, you lost it all. Dude, you lost it all.

1823
01:30:56,600 --> 01:31:01,439
Speaker 3: Lost the entire gambling bankroll, which was it? Fun? Is

1824
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:05,240
Speaker 3: that more than a month than there's certainly more than

1825
01:31:05,280 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 3: a month rent. You know, I'm not destitute because I'm not.

1826
01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm smart enough not to gamble with money. I don't

1827
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:17,800
Speaker 3: have to lose. But uh, there's a clip running around

1828
01:31:17,880 --> 01:31:20,880
Speaker 3: in the internet somewheres of me. It was I was.

1829
01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 3: I was on the m Fighting watch party for that

1830
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,160
Speaker 3: fight with the esteem Mike Heck and Connor Burks, and

1831
01:31:26,240 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 3: we watched it live so you can see a live

1832
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 3: reaction too. I got to look at that, to a

1833
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:37,000
Speaker 3: man losing a substantial someone money, the opposite of watching

1834
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:41,000
Speaker 3: Robbie Fox celebrate, Uh, Connor beating Donald Seroni from ringside

1835
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 3: with his laptop cam.

1836
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:43,920
Speaker 2: It was the opposite of that, right.

1837
01:31:44,439 --> 01:31:48,519
Speaker 3: It It was probably wasn't like the worst moment of

1838
01:31:48,560 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 3: my life, because there are more important things that have

1839
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:54,040
Speaker 3: happened out there. But like, it wasn't a good one.

1840
01:31:54,160 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 2: It's pretty bad.

1841
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:55,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

1842
01:31:56,439 --> 01:32:00,160
Speaker 3: We we we got we had to recover. But I

1843
01:32:00,160 --> 01:32:02,920
Speaker 3: I'm trying to approach it with a rosy outlook. I

1844
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:05,160
Speaker 3: might just run it back again because now my gambling

1845
01:32:05,160 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 3: bankroll is much much smaller since I had to start over.

1846
01:32:08,600 --> 01:32:12,360
Speaker 3: But that is absolutely crost DJed moment. For sure.

1847
01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:15,960
Speaker 2: I am a very limited gambler, just dabbled over the

1848
01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:18,040
Speaker 2: years here and there. But there was a point in

1849
01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,080
Speaker 2: my gross years in my early twenties where I was like,

1850
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,320
Speaker 2: you know what, if I don't come up with some

1851
01:32:23,400 --> 01:32:25,040
Speaker 2: type of cash, I'm gonna have to move back home

1852
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 2: and that would be shameful. So I'm going to drive

1853
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:31,240
Speaker 2: an hour to Foxwoods and put my entire what I've

1854
01:32:31,240 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 2: got left down on like an all or nothing roulette

1855
01:32:34,040 --> 01:32:36,880
Speaker 2: fifty to fifty type bed and oh yeah, and you

1856
01:32:36,920 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 2: know what happened. I drove there and I walked in

1857
01:32:39,360 --> 01:32:41,960
Speaker 2: and I didn't have the balls to do it, and

1858
01:32:42,080 --> 01:32:43,720
Speaker 2: I was like, Okay, this is good. This is the end.

1859
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 2: This is the end for me. Okay, this is it.

1860
01:32:45,280 --> 01:32:46,920
Speaker 2: This is it. So I turned around and drove right

1861
01:32:46,960 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 2: back home.

1862
01:32:47,920 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 3: It's very reasonable of you, but the story's much better

1863
01:32:51,160 --> 01:32:53,160
Speaker 3: it to do it. And then it comes up green.

1864
01:32:53,600 --> 01:32:55,760
Speaker 2: Question number five. This is more of a you know

1865
01:32:55,880 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 2: question named at your boy BC. But I'm curious, Jed,

1866
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,559
Speaker 2: in your opinion, who's the greatest straweight and you have

1867
01:33:02,600 --> 01:33:07,400
Speaker 2: the history. And I don't mean who's your favorite, I

1868
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:08,920
Speaker 2: G follow your dirt hole.

1869
01:33:10,600 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 3: I don't follow any fighters on i G. It's just

1870
01:33:13,720 --> 01:33:15,320
Speaker 3: it's too hard. There's a lot of them.

1871
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:16,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

1872
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:18,840
Speaker 3: I think it's the AUNI and J. I think that

1873
01:33:18,920 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 3: I feel comfortable calling you Annie and j Jake the

1874
01:33:20,960 --> 01:33:21,799
Speaker 3: best strawweight.

1875
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 2: And even though Rose beat her twice and Whaley twice,

1876
01:33:27,640 --> 01:33:28,400
Speaker 2: are you serious?

1877
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:33,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, you could make a very compelling argument for Rouzen

1878
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,000
Speaker 3: not here to say Rose is even wrong. But for me,

1879
01:33:36,840 --> 01:33:40,880
Speaker 3: when you are one half the losing half of the

1880
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:45,800
Speaker 3: worst fight in modern history, you that that's a big

1881
01:33:45,800 --> 01:33:52,800
Speaker 3: point against you. Roses rematch with Carlo was awful in

1882
01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:56,719
Speaker 3: a way that really makes me, like reevaluate her whole career.

1883
01:33:57,720 --> 01:34:00,920
Speaker 3: And maybe that's unfair, but like you and I have

1884
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 3: had this argument about other fighters and other things. I

1885
01:34:03,160 --> 01:34:07,439
Speaker 3: put a ton of stock in title defenses and being

1886
01:34:07,520 --> 01:34:10,400
Speaker 3: at the top of the mountain, and Joanna has done

1887
01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,240
Speaker 3: that more than anyone. I think Wayley has a chance

1888
01:34:13,400 --> 01:34:15,760
Speaker 3: to sort of take the reins, but I also think

1889
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:19,160
Speaker 3: Tatiana Suarez is she coming, and I don't know how

1890
01:34:19,200 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 3: that works out for way.

1891
01:34:20,360 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 2: I got ross, got some balls moving up to fight

1892
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 2: for Oh.

1893
01:34:24,720 --> 01:34:28,439
Speaker 3: It's a very questionable move. I think she's gonna do

1894
01:34:28,479 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 3: well against her.

1895
01:34:28,960 --> 01:34:31,160
Speaker 2: She needs, she said, she needs things that scare her

1896
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:33,680
Speaker 2: at this point in her career. Aspars apparently didn't scare her.

1897
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:34,080
Speaker 2: I don't.

1898
01:34:34,320 --> 01:34:37,800
Speaker 3: I don't understand that. Are like, look, if if that's

1899
01:34:37,880 --> 01:34:39,800
Speaker 3: the case, then okay, maybe that's what brings me.

1900
01:34:39,840 --> 01:34:41,559
Speaker 2: She thinks it brings out the best in her when

1901
01:34:41,600 --> 01:34:44,679
Speaker 2: she's not expected necessarily to dominate as opposed to the opposite.

1902
01:34:44,720 --> 01:34:47,040
Speaker 2: And I do understand that we're all human, yes, Jed,

1903
01:34:47,080 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 2: we're all human. Okay, don't talk about yeah you want.

1904
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:53,000
Speaker 3: At some point, she should have been scared that she

1905
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:56,640
Speaker 3: wasn't doing anything. It was gonna lose her belt to Carla.

1906
01:34:57,960 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 2: Joanna is the most decorated and absolutely savage. Arguably my

1907
01:35:01,439 --> 01:35:04,240
Speaker 2: favorite fighter effort. Let's keep it going. Number six, Jed,

1908
01:35:05,400 --> 01:35:08,559
Speaker 2: what was the most white trash part of your Georgia upbringing.

1909
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 2: Let's be fair, Let's put all the cards on the

1910
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 2: table here, because you know I grew up beating at

1911
01:35:12,479 --> 01:35:14,280
Speaker 2: seven to eleven a lot. You know people know this

1912
01:35:14,360 --> 01:35:15,880
Speaker 2: about my raccoon past.

1913
01:35:16,880 --> 01:35:18,960
Speaker 3: So this is an easy one. I this has never

1914
01:35:19,040 --> 01:35:20,960
Speaker 3: come out in any of the stuff I've done over

1915
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 3: the last like seven years, but you're gonna love this piece.

1916
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:27,960
Speaker 3: This is gonna be your favorite piece of information ever.

1917
01:35:28,760 --> 01:35:28,880
Speaker 4: Uh.

1918
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 3: For my entire youth, until I was seventeen years old,

1919
01:35:35,200 --> 01:35:40,320
Speaker 3: I had a rat tail. And I want to be

1920
01:35:39,920 --> 01:35:41,880
Speaker 3: I want to be I had one fourth grade.

1921
01:35:41,680 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 2: Dude that I cut that off.

1922
01:35:42,880 --> 01:35:45,559
Speaker 3: All right, come on, I want to be extremely clear.

1923
01:35:45,600 --> 01:35:48,720
Speaker 3: When I say I had a rat tail, We're not

1924
01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:51,960
Speaker 3: talking about like a rat tail. Like we're talking about

1925
01:35:52,400 --> 01:35:56,280
Speaker 3: a rat tail. Oh, I had a rat tail. I'm

1926
01:35:56,320 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 3: from Savannah, Georgia. I swear to God, if you ask

1927
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,759
Speaker 3: anyone relatively close to my age range from that city,

1928
01:36:03,120 --> 01:36:05,080
Speaker 3: if you know who Jed Mushu is, they may say no,

1929
01:36:05,280 --> 01:36:07,360
Speaker 3: like right, like it's it's a it's a town. It's

1930
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:09,600
Speaker 3: not like small, but it's not big. But if you

1931
01:36:09,640 --> 01:36:12,960
Speaker 3: ask basically anyone relatively my age rage you remember the

1932
01:36:13,040 --> 01:36:14,719
Speaker 3: kid with the rat tail? They would be like, sure,

1933
01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:19,760
Speaker 3: do kid played soccer with the ratail? Yep, it's the

1934
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,559
Speaker 3: easiest answer in my life. I've I've hidden that fact

1935
01:36:22,720 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 3: for the last second. Did you have a nickname? Did

1936
01:36:25,040 --> 01:36:27,280
Speaker 3: they call you like a lot of people called me

1937
01:36:27,400 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 3: rat Tail.

1938
01:36:27,960 --> 01:36:30,320
Speaker 2: That's a fantastic nickname, because when I think Ratail, I

1939
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:32,640
Speaker 2: think like tough guy rat Tail, like Lucas Matisa and

1940
01:36:32,720 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 2: Box saying, you know, like no, no, you've got a

1941
01:36:35,439 --> 01:36:36,080
Speaker 2: dirt hole round.

1942
01:36:36,160 --> 01:36:39,000
Speaker 3: No, this was this was This was yay long, maybe

1943
01:36:39,040 --> 01:36:40,200
Speaker 3: slightly bigger and braided.

1944
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 2: First of all, I need a picture for the next

1945
01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:45,280
Speaker 2: time you appear. And second of all, I'm gonna guess

1946
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:47,000
Speaker 2: you were celibate during those years.

1947
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:53,200
Speaker 3: Uh, Look, it didn't. I maintained strongly that it turned

1948
01:36:53,200 --> 01:36:55,800
Speaker 3: me into who I am today, because when I was

1949
01:36:55,880 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 3: really small, I would just fight everybody who like picked

1950
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:00,760
Speaker 3: on me, and nobody picked on me. And then you

1951
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,719
Speaker 3: stop being five or whatever, and people grow at different rates,

1952
01:37:04,720 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 3: and then you start trying to punch people who make

1953
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:10,000
Speaker 3: fun of you, and you start getting your ass eat

1954
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:13,040
Speaker 3: so you can't you can't pick fights anymore because it's

1955
01:37:13,040 --> 01:37:15,920
Speaker 3: no longer whoever throws the first punch wins. So then

1956
01:37:15,920 --> 01:37:19,160
Speaker 3: I just turned into me. Look, it probably wasn't the

1957
01:37:19,160 --> 01:37:21,919
Speaker 3: best choice it's ever been made. It just sort of happened.

1958
01:37:23,280 --> 01:37:25,960
Speaker 3: It just it happened, and then there it was, and

1959
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:30,639
Speaker 3: then it finally left and you are correct. PC. Upon

1960
01:37:30,720 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 3: its exit, I had much more success, like.

1961
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 2: A hand coach. I'm now ready to play yes. So

1962
01:37:37,080 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 2: I from ages eighteen to twenty, I had an on

1963
01:37:40,280 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 2: it so I can only grow face. I still can't

1964
01:37:41,840 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 2: grow facial hair as people can see. But from eighteen

1965
01:37:44,240 --> 01:37:46,080
Speaker 2: to twenty, the only place I can grow facial air

1966
01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:47,479
Speaker 2: was on my chin. So I had a go tea

1967
01:37:47,520 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 2: that curled under like the grossest goatee. But I was

1968
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:53,840
Speaker 2: just so happy that I could finally grow something. I

1969
01:37:53,880 --> 01:37:56,479
Speaker 2: didn't have to shave until I was like sorry. I

1970
01:37:56,520 --> 01:37:59,800
Speaker 2: didn't have to shave with shaving cream, by the way,

1971
01:38:00,200 --> 01:38:02,880
Speaker 2: until I was like twenty one. So the fact that

1972
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:04,960
Speaker 2: I could actually grow something in one spot, I just

1973
01:38:05,040 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 2: let it go and it like it curled under like disgusting,

1974
01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:11,560
Speaker 2: by the way, real quick nugget. I worked at McDonald's

1975
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 2: beginning of nineteen ninety five, and they had a no

1976
01:38:14,880 --> 01:38:17,360
Speaker 2: facial hair rule below the lip. I've told the story

1977
01:38:17,400 --> 01:38:20,000
Speaker 2: before how I had a date my senior year high

1978
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:21,680
Speaker 2: school that was coming up, so and I had a

1979
01:38:21,680 --> 01:38:23,840
Speaker 2: good goate going, so I put a band aid over

1980
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 2: it to make it look like I was injured so

1981
01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:28,160
Speaker 2: I could work to casture, But they had this thing

1982
01:38:28,240 --> 01:38:30,400
Speaker 2: in the back and the first aid kit called the

1983
01:38:30,479 --> 01:38:33,200
Speaker 2: community razor, And if you showed up for work with

1984
01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:35,879
Speaker 2: a five o'clock shadow and hadn't shaved it, the manager

1985
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:38,320
Speaker 2: would say, go use the community razor, which had no

1986
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,040
Speaker 2: shaving cream and had been used before by many peoples

1987
01:38:41,360 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 2: and were piece You were expected to dip it in

1988
01:38:43,680 --> 01:38:46,400
Speaker 2: hot water and just shave off. I mean, this is

1989
01:38:46,479 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 2: you know. Would you be surprised that when I worked

1990
01:38:48,960 --> 01:38:52,040
Speaker 2: at McDonald's they still sold pizza? And I've seen pizza

1991
01:38:52,120 --> 01:38:54,080
Speaker 2: dropped on the floor and picked right back up and

1992
01:38:54,120 --> 01:38:55,639
Speaker 2: served many times.

1993
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:59,040
Speaker 3: I didn't know that McDonald's ever sold pizzas they did,

1994
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:00,880
Speaker 3: but it was wonky because it took a half hour

1995
01:39:00,960 --> 01:39:02,800
Speaker 3: to end to McDonald's.

1996
01:39:02,920 --> 01:39:05,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, well then it's McDonald's on top of that. Uh

1997
01:39:05,479 --> 01:39:08,320
Speaker 2: finally number seven, Jed, I just found out, and you

1998
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 2: and I talked about this pre show. I had no idea,

1999
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:12,679
Speaker 2: and I apologize that you didn't come onto my radar

2000
01:39:12,800 --> 01:39:15,600
Speaker 2: until relatively recently. Jed, I don't know if that's a

2001
01:39:15,600 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 2: me problem or you problem. I didn't know you worked

2002
01:39:18,200 --> 01:39:20,639
Speaker 2: with Luke Thomas at MMA Fighting. In fact, you guys

2003
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 2: did some videos together through the years. So here's my question,

2004
01:39:24,560 --> 01:39:29,559
Speaker 2: which unintentionally funny Luke Thomas character quirk is your favorite

2005
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:31,520
Speaker 2: to laugh at.

2006
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:34,200
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a character quirk, but I'm

2007
01:39:34,200 --> 01:39:37,639
Speaker 3: not sure people recognize that Luke is just a gigantic person,

2008
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 3: and it it just thrown me off every time I

2009
01:39:40,920 --> 01:39:44,479
Speaker 3: have been around like my foil level giganticism or what

2010
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:48,519
Speaker 3: I mean, not like maybe not that big, but like

2011
01:39:48,760 --> 01:39:52,479
Speaker 3: just just a very large individual. And so like you're like,

2012
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:56,320
Speaker 3: you're young, you know whatever. I was a twenty seven

2013
01:39:56,400 --> 01:39:58,960
Speaker 3: year old kid or whatever going to meet the MMA

2014
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 3: Fighting team and like like Luke Thomas, who I've watched

2015
01:40:01,520 --> 01:40:03,840
Speaker 3: for years and all this stuff, and like everybody else

2016
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,519
Speaker 3: like Arielhiwani's like a little taller than average or whatever.

2017
01:40:07,760 --> 01:40:09,760
Speaker 3: But then you just get You're like, Luke looks like

2018
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:13,400
Speaker 3: three people stacked on top of each other, and it's

2019
01:40:13,520 --> 01:40:17,120
Speaker 3: just very off setting, given because the rest of the

2020
01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:19,120
Speaker 3: time you see his face in one of these boxes

2021
01:40:19,160 --> 01:40:22,120
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh, and so that feels to me

2022
01:40:22,520 --> 01:40:28,320
Speaker 3: that his general hatred for the South also was wonderful

2023
01:40:28,400 --> 01:40:32,240
Speaker 3: for us on our first first meeting, as I'm extremely Southern,

2024
01:40:32,400 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 3: so you can figure out by this point, and he's like, yeah,

2025
01:40:35,160 --> 01:40:37,720
Speaker 3: I know Georgia. I'm from Georgia. I hated Georgia, went

2026
01:40:37,760 --> 01:40:40,840
Speaker 3: to high school. It was shit. He made fun of

2027
01:40:40,880 --> 01:40:45,240
Speaker 3: me for using the word yonder once, and just his

2028
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:48,960
Speaker 3: general general dislike of the South is also quite amusing

2029
01:40:49,000 --> 01:40:49,439
Speaker 3: at times.

2030
01:40:49,560 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 2: I mean, he just likes the north too, to be fair,

2031
01:40:51,439 --> 01:40:54,280
Speaker 2: he really only likes Washington, DC. He dis owned his

2032
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:57,599
Speaker 2: home nation of India. I mean he's really just yeah, yeah,

2033
01:40:58,280 --> 01:40:58,679
Speaker 2: all right.

2034
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:01,679
Speaker 3: I've never been India, so I can't say whether that's

2035
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:04,280
Speaker 3: a good or a bad choice for him. DC is lovely,

2036
01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:06,040
Speaker 3: his credit it is.

2037
01:41:06,320 --> 01:41:08,920
Speaker 2: I actually I finally was able to visit it at

2038
01:41:08,960 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 2: length on vacation with my family last year. And yeah,

2039
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,320
Speaker 2: and then we've covered a Gervonti Davis fight there earlier

2040
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:15,800
Speaker 2: this year. It's it's one. It's wonderful. I love it.

2041
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:20,479
Speaker 2: My my favorite Slash Hate Luke character quirk is I

2042
01:41:20,520 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 2: don't know if you know this about him, but on

2043
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:27,200
Speaker 2: the road, he orders sometimes three full meals at once,

2044
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:31,960
Speaker 2: waits an hour for it to get cold because quote,

2045
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,639
Speaker 2: that's the way I like it, and then we'll pick

2046
01:41:34,760 --> 01:41:36,960
Speaker 2: at like one of the meals and then throw all

2047
01:41:37,000 --> 01:41:41,120
Speaker 2: three away all the time. He does this all the time.

2048
01:41:41,200 --> 01:41:43,400
Speaker 3: Kind of meals like is he eating cold fries?

2049
01:41:43,680 --> 01:41:45,880
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, like he'll get He'll get.

2050
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:48,800
Speaker 3: Like an actual psychopath movie, like that's Serial Killers.

2051
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:50,960
Speaker 2: Now, people know I love Luke, but I'm not afraid

2052
01:41:51,000 --> 01:41:53,840
Speaker 2: to call out his missteps publicly. And but uh yeah,

2053
01:41:53,880 --> 01:41:54,760
Speaker 2: that's a that's a big one.

2054
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:58,280
Speaker 3: Like cold pizza we can, okay, cold pizzas all right,

2055
01:41:58,800 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 3: Cold French fries you were, you know, unacceptable. It's not

2056
01:42:03,439 --> 01:42:05,080
Speaker 3: socially acceptable behavior.

2057
01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:06,519
Speaker 2: That doesn't reheat. It's worse than fish.

2058
01:42:06,560 --> 01:42:10,760
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, you know, yeah, it's wow. That's

2059
01:42:10,760 --> 01:42:13,840
Speaker 3: where I'm I'm sad to know that now, less of Luke.

2060
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:15,240
Speaker 3: So I had a good.

2061
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:18,320
Speaker 2: Time in Quebec. By the way, I drove through the

2062
01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:20,840
Speaker 2: towns where my great grandparents were from. People forget jed

2063
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 2: that I'm fifty percent French Canadian. People forget that often

2064
01:42:23,360 --> 01:42:25,960
Speaker 2: because they think I joke about my nationality. But I

2065
01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:29,320
Speaker 2: was shocked at how much I felt like at home

2066
01:42:29,360 --> 01:42:29,839
Speaker 2: in Quebec.

2067
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 3: Like I felt like I was shocked that your French Canadian, even.

2068
01:42:33,160 --> 01:42:35,880
Speaker 2: With the language barrier. I felt like people liked me.

2069
01:42:35,960 --> 01:42:38,840
Speaker 2: They welcomed me. I felt like I belonged until I

2070
01:42:39,320 --> 01:42:41,559
Speaker 2: had like this mild case of food poisoning and all

2071
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,320
Speaker 2: the sugar and sauces basically turned me into a black

2072
01:42:44,360 --> 01:42:46,280
Speaker 2: liver piece of crap. The first four days I was like,

2073
01:42:46,479 --> 01:42:49,800
Speaker 2: this is where I belong. Do you think I should

2074
01:42:49,920 --> 01:42:53,120
Speaker 2: challenge Ariel to like a Quebec off and almost the

2075
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 2: reverse racism DDP is he type thing, whereas he's like,

2076
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:58,559
Speaker 2: do the twenty eight and me thing, who's the real

2077
01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 2: mister Quebec? I'm willing to do. I'm not going to

2078
01:43:01,400 --> 01:43:03,599
Speaker 2: do the Schmo challenge to a basketball game thing, although

2079
01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:05,920
Speaker 2: I think I could house Ariel there, But do you

2080
01:43:05,960 --> 01:43:08,240
Speaker 2: think I could? I could be the real mister Quebec.

2081
01:43:08,800 --> 01:43:11,800
Speaker 3: Look, I'm sure, I'm sure that Quebec is not. It's

2082
01:43:11,800 --> 01:43:14,559
Speaker 3: not a monolith, right. You've You've got Montreal and the

2083
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:17,639
Speaker 3: city folk and and the sort of you know, higher

2084
01:43:17,760 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 3: end people who can you know, talk to talk to

2085
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:24,360
Speaker 3: other people and engage with them socially. And you know,

2086
01:43:24,439 --> 01:43:28,360
Speaker 3: I've watched Letter Kenny. I know about the the Canadian

2087
01:43:28,439 --> 01:43:32,400
Speaker 3: roughnecks and just dudes out there being being real low

2088
01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 3: low bottom like you. So it's just different kinds of Quebec.

2089
01:43:36,120 --> 01:43:38,280
Speaker 3: I don't know. I don't know enough to know who

2090
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 3: would win in a Quebec off. But until you're rocking

2091
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:44,599
Speaker 3: like an expo hat, you're probably at least the underdog.

2092
01:43:44,720 --> 01:43:46,439
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna do that.

2093
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:48,200
Speaker 2: Remember when Ariel forgot he was a Knicks fan when

2094
01:43:48,200 --> 01:43:50,200
Speaker 2: the Raptors won the championship and he was like parading

2095
01:43:50,240 --> 01:43:52,120
Speaker 2: around on there. You know, I remember Ariel.

2096
01:43:52,160 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 3: I remember that, though.

2097
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:55,839
Speaker 2: But shout out to Ariel just the same. Let's close

2098
01:43:55,880 --> 01:43:58,360
Speaker 2: with this, uh, Jed. It's your debut here, so you

2099
01:43:58,400 --> 01:43:59,680
Speaker 2: got to you got to sit in and do the

2101
01:44:02,439 --> 01:44:06,200
Speaker 2: last night, from visiting the beautiful Lauritian mountains. I think

2102
01:44:06,240 --> 01:44:08,599
Speaker 2: you pronounced that there outside of Montreal and q Beec,

2103
01:44:08,920 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 2: I scoured the globe, Jed, to find the highs and lows,

2104
01:44:12,439 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 2: the good, the bad, the ugly, and the in between.

2105
01:44:14,840 --> 01:44:18,720
Speaker 2: In combat sports, some people call this bc SVCs. I

2106
01:44:18,800 --> 01:44:20,800
Speaker 2: call this. Have you seen this shit?

2107
01:44:22,400 --> 01:44:23,720
Speaker 3: So this is the most exciting ping?

2108
01:44:25,240 --> 01:44:29,439
Speaker 2: Oh god, how how Jed? Let's see if you saw

2109
01:44:29,439 --> 01:44:32,000
Speaker 2: any of this shit? Number one, here's where we start

2110
01:44:32,439 --> 01:44:35,839
Speaker 2: BKFC in Albuquerque. No, I'm not gonna show you videos

2111
01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:38,280
Speaker 2: of some famous TikToker that my kids got all excited

2112
01:44:38,280 --> 01:44:40,000
Speaker 2: about getting into a fight. What's that guy's name, by.

2113
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 3: The way, Uh, Bryce Hall. It was trash, absolutely trash.

2114
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:45,639
Speaker 3: I'm here to watch it.

2115
01:44:46,479 --> 01:44:50,280
Speaker 2: I'm here to celebrate this man, John Dodson, who captured

2116
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:55,360
Speaker 2: the inaugural BKFC Featherweight Championship with the first round TKO

2117
01:44:55,640 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 2: of j R. Ridge Jed. From the very beginning, Dodson

2118
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:01,880
Speaker 2: looks like he belonged in this decrepit sport.

2119
01:45:02,360 --> 01:45:05,200
Speaker 3: Dude, he found it. Like, I'm so happy for John

2120
01:45:05,240 --> 01:45:08,120
Speaker 3: Dotson because he was so much fun in MMA, Like

2121
01:45:08,640 --> 01:45:11,800
Speaker 3: he came the closest to beating DJ. Uh sort of

2122
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:13,280
Speaker 3: at the peak of DJ's powers.

2123
01:45:13,600 --> 01:45:15,519
Speaker 2: Oh no, come on, that was a that was a

2124
01:45:16,240 --> 01:45:18,280
Speaker 2: didn't mccaulli fight him to like a split decision?

2125
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 3: Oh? I guess that's true, but that they went to

2126
01:45:22,560 --> 01:45:24,840
Speaker 3: they should have gone to a draw. But yeah, I

2127
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 3: mean Dotson dropped DJ several times, Like he's he's just

2128
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:31,120
Speaker 3: always been an electric, really fun fighter, and this seems

2129
01:45:31,160 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 3: to match up super well for his skill set. That

2130
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 3: fight was kind of garbage. He should have won like

2131
01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:39,080
Speaker 3: way earlier than he did. The referee stopped it because

2132
01:45:39,120 --> 01:45:42,559
Speaker 3: he pushed the dude down, but he didn't really push

2133
01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:44,759
Speaker 3: him down. It sort of just happened after he punched

2134
01:45:44,840 --> 01:45:47,519
Speaker 3: him in the eye and then Homeie got like five

2135
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:49,960
Speaker 3: minutes to recover from being punched in the eye, which

2136
01:45:50,040 --> 01:45:51,880
Speaker 3: is legal. It was a super weird thing.

2137
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 2: And then it.

2138
01:45:52,320 --> 01:45:55,559
Speaker 3: Didn't matter because John Dotson rules, so super happy for

2139
01:45:55,640 --> 01:45:59,000
Speaker 3: him him versus John Lenneker and bare knuckle uh would

2140
01:45:59,200 --> 01:46:02,960
Speaker 3: would be minor, like just be the best thing that's

2141
01:46:02,960 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 3: ever happened in combat sports. But until then, I'm happy

2142
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,000
Speaker 3: to just keep watching him do this because it rules.

2143
01:46:09,200 --> 01:46:11,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, he has embraced it, and he's got quick hands

2144
01:46:11,400 --> 01:46:13,679
Speaker 2: and he gets after it. Man, it's really it's fun

2145
01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:16,040
Speaker 2: to see him, just like Mike Perry who just resigned,

2146
01:46:16,080 --> 01:46:18,040
Speaker 2: by the way, with BKFC, they set out a press

2147
01:46:18,040 --> 01:46:21,200
Speaker 2: release probably to life changing money once again. It's good

2148
01:46:21,240 --> 01:46:23,240
Speaker 2: to see people because there's a lot of people that

2149
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,880
Speaker 2: use b AKFC as the last stop on the combat highway,

2150
01:46:25,880 --> 01:46:27,920
Speaker 2: and that's when it gets really sad. These are people

2151
01:46:27,960 --> 01:46:30,680
Speaker 2: who are thriving. They're thriving here. I'm down with that.

2152
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 2: You know the same thing with Lorenzo. What's the guy's

2153
01:46:33,200 --> 01:46:34,560
Speaker 2: There's been a few of the Lorenzo hunt is that

2154
01:46:34,560 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 2: I'm talking about. There's been a few of these guys

2155
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:37,719
Speaker 2: who have bound Hector Lombards. That's some big ones.

2156
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,519
Speaker 3: What we needed and what I'm The saddest thing that's

2157
01:46:41,520 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 3: happened in MMA this month is that Derek Lewis re

2158
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 3: signed with the UFC, Because Derek Lewis and BKFC was

2159
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 3: all I ever wanted in my life. And I know

2160
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,599
Speaker 3: you would have loved that too, BC, Like, who didn't

2161
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 3: want to see that? And now we'll never get it

2162
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 3: And that's a shame.

2163
01:46:55,840 --> 01:46:59,599
Speaker 2: Speaking of Dots and talk about this celebratory, celebratory backflip

2164
01:46:59,640 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 2: and Dan after getting the win. It was good to

2165
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,360
Speaker 2: see him so happy. Look at that athleticism right there.

2166
01:47:04,360 --> 01:47:07,680
Speaker 3: He's like a human emoji the magician. Yeah, man is

2167
01:47:08,080 --> 01:47:11,599
Speaker 3: him and andre Alowski's like deep in abiding friendship back

2168
01:47:11,600 --> 01:47:14,360
Speaker 3: in the day. Was awesome because they're just the most

2169
01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:18,240
Speaker 3: different human beings possible, both physically and emotionally. He's great, Like,

2170
01:47:18,280 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 3: I love John Dotson. I'm very happy for everything that

2171
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:22,000
Speaker 3: went down this past weekend.

2172
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:24,760
Speaker 2: I'm sure you remember when Mike Goldberg famously said, so

2173
01:47:24,920 --> 01:47:27,800
Speaker 2: you want to be an Ultimate Fighter, Jed, So you

2174
01:47:27,880 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 2: want to be a BKFC fighter. Here's how it usually

2175
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:36,599
Speaker 2: looks for people. Oh no, not oh yo, straight up.

2176
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:40,680
Speaker 2: If you told me BC, like out of context, if

2177
01:47:40,720 --> 01:47:43,439
Speaker 2: you just told me that that is the villain, like

2178
01:47:43,560 --> 01:47:46,240
Speaker 2: not the big bad villain, but like the mid tier

2179
01:47:46,360 --> 01:47:50,559
Speaker 2: villain for some like new horror franchise, I would buy it.

2180
01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:52,479
Speaker 2: Like if you blocked out the people behind in the

2181
01:47:52,479 --> 01:47:54,720
Speaker 2: box and he was like, Yeah, that's just that's the

2182
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:57,839
Speaker 2: person who's doing a cannibalism in the woods or whatever

2183
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:02,360
Speaker 2: on this group of side hikers. Yeah, remember the Landlord

2184
01:48:02,400 --> 01:48:04,320
Speaker 2: and Kingpin who did that gross thing. That's kind of

2185
01:48:04,360 --> 01:48:06,719
Speaker 2: giving me those vibes. But if anybody would have dated

2186
01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:07,920
Speaker 2: you with that rat tail.

2187
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:16,280
Speaker 3: Awkward pause, awkward pod no awkward hard no hard pass.

2188
01:48:16,439 --> 01:48:19,000
Speaker 2: Now let's keep it going. UFC Vegas from the APEX

2189
01:48:19,040 --> 01:48:22,519
Speaker 2: bantam weight Demon Black Sheear made his UFC debut and

2190
01:48:22,640 --> 01:48:26,439
Speaker 2: became the third person in company history to lock up

2191
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:29,680
Speaker 2: a twister. Sub here on Jose Johnson, your thoughts.

2192
01:48:30,760 --> 01:48:33,400
Speaker 3: Twisters are always weird because I feel like they shouldn't happen.

2193
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:36,559
Speaker 3: This one was cool and like it. It felt natural,

2194
01:48:38,120 --> 01:48:41,479
Speaker 3: good for demand, black chear right, and dude, dude was

2195
01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:44,280
Speaker 3: fighting it the whole way and trying really hard. Uh,

2196
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:46,960
Speaker 3: that just looks like it sucks so hard. PC. I've

2197
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 3: ever been put in a twister? Nah, I don't ever

2198
01:48:49,560 --> 01:48:50,599
Speaker 3: want to be put in a twister.

2199
01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,559
Speaker 2: I mean, I've consensually been in a few days. But

2200
01:48:53,680 --> 01:48:56,040
Speaker 2: you know that's another story right there. Hey, you know

2201
01:48:56,040 --> 01:49:00,000
Speaker 2: who's making noise on the UFC undercards lately? Debuting female

2202
01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:03,080
Speaker 2: from Brazil. We've seen some big wins. How about Luana

2203
01:49:03,200 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 2: Santos getting in here against Juliana Killer Miller and needing

2204
01:49:07,680 --> 01:49:11,280
Speaker 2: just a couple of minutes to absolutely I mean, I

2205
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:13,599
Speaker 2: don't know if we have highlights of the actual punch

2206
01:49:13,720 --> 01:49:15,599
Speaker 2: is thrown or just the celebration. I don't know if

2207
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:17,760
Speaker 2: you saw this. I'm a big Killer Miller fan. She's

2208
01:49:17,800 --> 01:49:20,559
Speaker 2: got spunk, she's got charisma, but these are two straight

2209
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 2: devastating defeats. This one didn't last long.

2210
01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:28,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, she is really good at getting knocked out like

2211
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:31,640
Speaker 3: the odd because she's like long and rangy, and she

2212
01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,160
Speaker 3: doesn't like cover up and do the show like she's

2213
01:49:34,200 --> 01:49:36,639
Speaker 3: just gonna fire them back. And the whole time she's

2214
01:49:36,680 --> 01:49:42,280
Speaker 3: out there throwing punches fecklessly, absolutely uselessly, just trying to

2215
01:49:42,280 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 3: return fire and getting lit up. So it makes this

2216
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:50,160
Speaker 3: really gorgeous finishing combo from Santo's And I feel really

2217
01:49:50,200 --> 01:49:53,200
Speaker 3: bad for Julian. She won Tough BC, she did an

2218
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:57,000
Speaker 3: Ultimate Fighter winner, and they are having her get bass

2219
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:00,240
Speaker 3: on the curtain, jerker of the worst card of the year,

2220
01:50:00,400 --> 01:50:02,680
Speaker 3: like man went in Tough A what it used to be.

2221
01:50:02,960 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 2: No, she's got She's lost three of her last four overall,

2222
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,599
Speaker 2: including that loss to a comebacking Veronica Hardy last time.

2223
01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:10,559
Speaker 2: And we didn't have the I sent the wrong video in,

2224
01:50:10,640 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 2: but she got pieced up. To end it right there,

2225
01:50:13,640 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 2: somebody else got pieced up. JP bays it was bandam Waite,

2226
01:50:17,160 --> 01:50:21,639
Speaker 2: Marcus the maniac McGee face first there one one punch

2227
01:50:21,760 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 2: thriller here in round one.

2228
01:50:23,720 --> 01:50:27,720
Speaker 3: Yes, I love love the walk off and the gentlemanly

2229
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,080
Speaker 3: walk off of this dude fell down and I don't

2230
01:50:30,120 --> 01:50:32,640
Speaker 3: even like I could. I could, I could hammer him out.

2231
01:50:32,680 --> 01:50:35,640
Speaker 3: I don't know if we're gonna have Khalil Roalntrees finished

2232
01:50:35,800 --> 01:50:36,719
Speaker 3: coming up here later.

2233
01:50:36,920 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 2: We won't.

2234
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:42,400
Speaker 3: We will Khalil Rowntree did not take this very step

2235
01:50:42,479 --> 01:50:45,439
Speaker 3: back that the MGE did here, so good for him.

2236
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:47,960
Speaker 3: JP Bay has been getting gone a lot. Yeah, it

2237
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:49,720
Speaker 3: is the extra brain damage.

2238
01:50:49,880 --> 01:50:53,120
Speaker 2: JP Bays improves to ozh to four in the UFC.

2239
01:50:53,479 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 2: He's not gonna be the first real African champion, although

2240
01:50:56,880 --> 01:50:59,960
Speaker 2: he's from South Africa. But is this lost more hurtful

2241
01:51:00,560 --> 01:51:05,280
Speaker 2: than Roman Delidze and Cheyenne Bays uhlstmus.

2242
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 3: I mean it's pretty bad. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

2243
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:12,200
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean she fled the country to

2244
01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 2: get out of their merriage. I don't know. I'm not

2245
01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:17,120
Speaker 2: speaking of other people's businesses, Okay, but it's a tough break.

2246
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:20,000
Speaker 3: For pretty bad. Yeah, he's having a rough go of thing.

2247
01:51:20,120 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 2: He is.

2248
01:51:20,560 --> 01:51:22,400
Speaker 3: Hey, baby on the way though for Cheyenne, you know,

2249
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:28,000
Speaker 3: silver lining in every I guess BC way to be positive.

2250
01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:31,560
Speaker 2: Let's go to Omaha. Hey, Terrence Crawford came for the

2251
01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:35,360
Speaker 2: victory parade. The city showed out. But the biggest highlight

2252
01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:37,960
Speaker 2: for me as as Terrence drove around with friend of

2253
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:41,519
Speaker 2: his program Sha Kurs Stevenson, was Terrence showing up in

2254
01:51:41,600 --> 01:51:45,200
Speaker 2: the Fisherman's outfit with the giant dude he is leaning

2255
01:51:45,240 --> 01:51:48,559
Speaker 2: into this big fish thing so hilariously. I don't know

2256
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:51,479
Speaker 2: if you saw him on like national news shows, He's

2257
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 2: making the rounds all over. Dude, this was awesome to see.

2258
01:51:56,040 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 3: I mean, what an outfit. I have not seen this shit.

2259
01:51:59,840 --> 01:52:03,240
Speaker 3: Just what a vibe. Terrence Crawford live in his best

2260
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:06,559
Speaker 3: life right now is it's just so much fun to watch,

2261
01:52:06,680 --> 01:52:10,040
Speaker 3: Like there's not a dude who deserves it more and

2262
01:52:10,080 --> 01:52:12,680
Speaker 3: he now gets to just do this like and hell,

2263
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 3: if I had that physique, I would I would always

2264
01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:18,040
Speaker 3: wear an open vest. I would never be wearing clothes,

2265
01:52:18,560 --> 01:52:20,519
Speaker 3: just just the open vest. Let it all font you know,

2266
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:21,320
Speaker 3: let everybody know.

2267
01:52:22,560 --> 01:52:24,240
Speaker 2: Dude, I love that fish net thing. I mean that

2268
01:52:24,360 --> 01:52:26,760
Speaker 2: is just you know, as I said, that probably the

2269
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 2: probably the greatest boxing victory involving fish nets sens oscar,

2270
01:52:31,400 --> 01:52:33,759
Speaker 2: but I don't know if you can call that a win. Indeed,

2271
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:36,400
Speaker 2: let's keep it going here father that that was a

2272
01:52:36,520 --> 01:52:41,600

2305
01:54:09,280 --> 01:54:12,200
Speaker 2: Center in Minneapolis. There was a Zach Bryant concert. Guess

01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:35,120
Speaker 3: not not bought life represent Coors Coors. And then because

2309
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:37,280
Speaker 3: you think after this is going to go home and get.

2310
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:44,200

01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:48,720
Speaker 2: Listener does, like he can even what he did to Mark,

2313
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 2: like he can't do wrong. In my eyes, he's he is.

2314
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:53,040
Speaker 2: He's my favorite. He's my favorite person.

2315
01:54:53,480 --> 01:54:56,600
Speaker 3: Not I don't have that sort of connection to him,

2316
01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 3: but he makes me laugh because if the Brock last

2317
01:55:00,160 --> 01:55:02,880
Speaker 3: got off the couch tomorrow, he's still beating the hell

2318
01:55:02,920 --> 01:55:05,760
Speaker 3: out of like half of the top fifteen heavyweights and

2319
01:55:05,760 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 3: the probably man.

2320
01:55:07,520 --> 01:55:09,600
Speaker 2: Dude, do you think he would win the award for

2321
01:55:10,040 --> 01:55:12,360
Speaker 2: most juiced UFC fight ever?

2322
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 3: Like?

2323
01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:15,040
Speaker 2: Does he did? He have the most juice in him

2324
01:55:15,200 --> 01:55:17,960
Speaker 2: of any fighter ever for a fight at UFC two.

2325
01:55:19,000 --> 01:55:21,920
Speaker 3: No, because he is also just an athletic freak. So

2326
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,840
Speaker 3: his juicing was I feel largely supplemental, like he just,

2327
01:55:25,920 --> 01:55:28,000
Speaker 3: you know, wanted to get a little bit of extra. Dude,

2328
01:55:28,040 --> 01:55:32,000
Speaker 3: go back, what was Mark Kerr and Mark Coleman. We

2329
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:34,920
Speaker 3: were going through their vans at the peak of the

2330
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:40,760

2331
01:55:40,840 --> 01:55:44,120

2332
01:55:44,240 --> 01:55:48,160
Speaker 3: hots because if you could go back in time so much.

Speaker 2: Yeah, you should have been there, dude.

2349
01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:42,080
Speaker 3: I didn't know this was happening. Where's the finish. I'm

2350
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:42,840
Speaker 3: waiting on the fat.

2355
01:56:52,960 --> 01:56:54,720
Speaker 2: And there's the victory dancing down with that answer.

2356
01:56:55,480 --> 01:56:58,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I couldn't do it. That looks like something

2357
01:56:58,160 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 3: for the children. I'm past. That would blow out a

2358
01:57:01,520 --> 01:57:02,640
Speaker 3: knee trying to do that.

2359
01:57:02,680 --> 01:57:05,200
Speaker 2: At this point, I'd blowed everything if I was this guy.

2360
01:57:05,240 --> 01:57:06,840
Speaker 2: Let's go to the dirt bike trail. This is why

2361
01:57:06,880 --> 01:57:09,280
Speaker 2: I don't roller skate. This is why I don't ski.

2362
01:57:10,120 --> 01:57:17,600

01:57:25,080 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 3: all of the all of the dirt biking ones are

2366
01:57:27,800 --> 01:57:31,920

01:57:32,040 --> 01:57:33,120

Speaker 2: Took his soul right there.

2376
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:09,240
Speaker 3: Damn Yeah, that's one of the most esthetically pleasing knockouts

2377
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:12,560
Speaker 3: I've actually ever seen in combat sports. That is incredible.

2378
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:14,600
Speaker 3: Who is that? Do we know who did that?

2379
01:58:14,840 --> 01:58:16,680
Speaker 2: We don't know. They threw a pillow in the cage.

2380
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:19,400
Speaker 2: I'm being told by Gaff. Yeah he needs it, that

2381
01:58:21,680 --> 01:58:23,520
Speaker 2: no doubt. Jed. I don't know if you know this,

2382
01:58:23,640 --> 01:58:26,840
Speaker 2: but we got a power Slap mobile video game. Let's

2383
01:58:26,920 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 2: check the video tape on this. You can iOS this

2384
01:58:30,120 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 2: bullshit anytime you want. Oh wow, that's great.

2385
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:38,600
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna play it because why would I what possible?

2386
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:40,600
Speaker 3: Game mechanics can be fun here?

2387
01:58:40,880 --> 01:58:45,080
Speaker 2: Like, I don't carnage may be senseless violence without defense,

2388
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:46,000
Speaker 2: but I don't know if.

2389
01:58:45,920 --> 01:58:48,400
Speaker 3: You know the thing, I at least would get watching,

2390
01:58:48,480 --> 01:58:51,280
Speaker 3: Like if you just are into senseless carnage. Okay, watch

2391
01:58:51,640 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 3: watch Power Slap like more power to you. Why would

2392
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,680
Speaker 3: I want to play a mobile game where I'm just

2393
01:58:56,720 --> 01:58:59,200
Speaker 3: gonna tap this button, this one button, because it's not

2394
01:58:59,240 --> 01:59:03,200
Speaker 3: like there's a combination of buttons. Did I don't get it? Yeah?

2395
01:59:03,320 --> 01:59:06,360
Speaker 2: Indeed. Well, Dana, who often tells us how big Power

2396
01:59:06,360 --> 01:59:08,560
Speaker 2: Slap is in India, would like you to know that

2397
01:59:08,640 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 2: this is the biggest video game in the world. Let's listen.

2398
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:15,720
Speaker 4: In we launched our video game mobile app, video game.

2399
01:59:15,880 --> 01:59:18,560
Speaker 4: We're number one in all of sports. We're number four

2400
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:23,200
Speaker 4: in all of video games. So when you look at

2401
01:59:23,320 --> 01:59:26,000
Speaker 4: the power that that game is going to have too

2402
01:59:26,200 --> 01:59:29,440
Speaker 4: on the athletes and recruiting and getting new people to

2403
01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:32,440
Speaker 4: come in the video games too. We're number one in

2404
01:59:32,480 --> 01:59:35,480
Speaker 4: all of sports. We launched it today. We're number four

2405
01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:38,800
Speaker 4: in all of video games. We're beating like FIFA and

2406
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:41,320
Speaker 4: Call of Duty in games like that.

2407
01:59:42,720 --> 01:59:46,960
Speaker 2: So they say, don't believe everything Dana says, bloody elbows.

2408
01:59:47,560 --> 01:59:51,360
Speaker 2: Anton Lebuyna did the research shortly after Dana said this,

2409
01:59:51,480 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 2: and it turns out quick fact check Slap did not

2410
01:59:54,360 --> 01:59:56,600
Speaker 2: beat Call of Duty, which was top five on all

2411
01:59:56,640 --> 01:59:59,800
Speaker 2: free games. It's not even in the top two h

2412
02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:03,720
Speaker 2: and in sports. It didn't beat FIFA, which was number nine,

2413
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:06,520
Speaker 2: and it's not number one. SLAP at the time of

2414
02:00:06,560 --> 02:00:10,720
Speaker 2: this on August tenth was currently number one hundred and eleven,

2415
02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:15,040
Speaker 2: shortly after Dana made those comments. So you know, Jed Powerslap,

2416
02:00:15,240 --> 02:00:20,000
Speaker 2: social media is bigger than every sport combined. But you

2417
02:00:20,080 --> 02:00:24,000
Speaker 2: can't believe everything Dana tells you. And finally to close,

2418
02:00:25,440 --> 02:00:27,840
Speaker 2: maybe I'm wrong and I love this guy, but Jed

2419
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:30,760
Speaker 2: is Mike Perry taking this two percent black thing too far?

2420
02:00:36,120 --> 02:00:38,880
Speaker 2: Guy looks like see Thomas Howell and soul Man right now.

2421
02:00:38,920 --> 02:00:42,400
Speaker 2: But luckily, what we're celebrating here is the greatest romance

2422
02:00:42,400 --> 02:00:44,720
Speaker 2: of all time, him and Joel Romero coming out of

2423
02:00:44,760 --> 02:00:46,800
Speaker 2: the Dead Sea. So we'll mess it.
