6
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: and you're looking at the best damn combat sports show

7
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: they ever put together, the one that won't die and

8
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: the one that really has nothing to talk about today.

9
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: So let's just roll off the balls. Hey, it's morning combat.

10
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: We're in the dead zone of combat sports this summer.

11
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm your boy BC. That the alpha like individual from

12
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: the Connecticut suburbs. And then there's also a deeply sore

13
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,039
Speaker 1: throated phenom when it comes to the intersection between fight

14
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 1: and political breakdowns. His name is Luke Thomas. And Luke,

15
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: what have you been allowing deep in your throat to

16
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: create this illness? Is really what the people want to know.

17
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 3: I mean, I like how the implications that I've been

18
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 3: sucking Dix this whole time.

19
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: I never said that. I never said that.

20
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 3: Okay, No, I've got some kind of I think I

Speaker 3: up negative. But who the hell knows. I'll keep testing.

Speaker 3: saying something.

90
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 4: Like the way you guys opened the show. It was

91
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 4: almost as if we had no major MMA going on

92
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:05,559
Speaker 4: this weekend.

93
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,960

95
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: little bit of something for that hit me. Who has

96
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: which organization has the best main event this weekend?

97
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 4: It's PFO.

98
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, that Gene. Maybe I'm telling you that that Gene

99
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,280
Speaker 3: Logan Storly fight Logan STORLYBC, and we'll talk about it.

100
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 3: He might make it bad. Like people this week are like,

101
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 3: are you gonna wrestle him? He's like, I'm not gonna

102
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 3: do fuck else except wrestle the guy, you know what

103
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,160
Speaker 3: I mean. Like, he's very open about it. But that

104
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 3: Gene is one of these guys who is one of

105
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 3: the things PFL is doing well is helping to get

106
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 3: him introduced to the MMA fan base. And I'm excited

107
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:49,719
Speaker 3: for that one tonight.

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 1: All right, I was wrong. Let me just update what

109
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: we're talking about a morning Combat Dot shop. The posters

110
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: are only autographed this month. That's your only option right there,

111
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 1: and as you already know, get these while supplies last. Yeah,

112
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: decent fights, I'll say decent this weekend between the two

113
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: championship fights on the tournament finals. If you will, no

114
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 1: Championship on the PFL. I'm also kind of intrigued about

115
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: this replacement UFC main event. You know, the more the

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: more I forced myself to do research because I've always

117
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: got you and Tom Cruise in my ear, I will

118
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: say that this is a this is a pretty good

119
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 1: main event fight. Even if this card blows giant chunks

120
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: of testes.

121
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: Luke, It's a card for hardcores and that's it. It's

122
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: not for anybody else, all.

123
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: Right, all right, right? There anything else we want to

124
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: sell or explain or you know, Deny, We're gonna do

125
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: dead wrongs and fan subs to close the show later today.

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 1: What else you got, lt we got?

127
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 3: We got a freestyle Friday topic for topic five. I'll

128
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 3: save my little nugget for them. Also, I took a

129
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: dump this morning. It was not a breacher. I want

130
00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: to be very clear about that. It was a standard dumb.

131
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: Okay, did you throw the paper in assorted bin?

132
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 3: No? Because I live in a modern country with up

133
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 3: to date infrastructure.

134
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 1: What would you name that bin if you had one

135
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 1: next year toilet?

136
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 3: I'm thinking Laden, I'd call it Brian Campbell.

137
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 4: All right, all right?

138
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: Bit, By the way, my family hates when I do

139
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: that joke all the time. They're like, oh yeah, get

140
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: the clippers, they're in the bin. I'm like, well, what's

141
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:26,679
Speaker 1: that been called?

142
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: You know?

143
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: And they're like, stop it, stop it all right. They

144
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: don't believe in Building seven like I do. But you

145
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: know that's okay. I've seen controlled demolitions in my time,

146
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: but what a time.

147
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: To control demolition in the commode today. Trust that. Trust that.

148
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,920

151
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: have a good journey today. They don't make shows like this.

152
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, my wasting time just blathering and

153
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: bloating and and telling you how good this show is. Historically,

154
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: they don't make shows like this. Okay, we're independent. We

155
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: do what we want when we want.

156
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 4: Bitch, what are you doing right now?

157
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just fre ball and I'm trying

158
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: to see if you'll play off of it. But you know,

159
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 1: I know you're you're ill. Okay, you're you're ill.

160
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, you make me sick. That's that's the reality here.

161
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: You make me completely miserable. Hey, topic number one time,

162
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 1: let's do it. Hey, this Saturday night UFC Warehouse, the

163
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: new Apex entrance, I've been told from John Morgan's tweets,

164
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: is open and we're gonna see a fight card there

165
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: as that construction continues, and a new main event that

166
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 1: was constructed last minute, of course, in the flyweight division

167
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: as Tatsua Tsuro Tyro excuse me of Japan, fresh off

168
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: that loss in that five round split decision war to

169
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 1: one Brandon roybal Well, welcome a new opponent very late

170
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: notice young Song Park, both promising young talents in this

171
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: one twenty five division. Luke, When we look at this,

172
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: how do we understand this fight? What significance is at

173
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: stake for the winner? And would you say that as

174
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: a replacement fight as we teased earlier? Might not be

175
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: sexy to the to the casuals. But I personally believe

176
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: this fight doesn't suck. What are you looking for this weekend?

177
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 6: No?

178
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: You know what, This fight absolutely does not suck. I

179
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 3: would be very very very surprised if it sucked. Tyrus

180
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,719
Speaker 3: sixteen and one Park ten and oh so, but for

181
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 3: that Reyval split decision loss that you indicated b C.

182
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: You have a pair of undefeated flyways here. Number one.

183
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 3: I mean we have you have to count the loss.

184
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying that's pretty interesting to me. Is

185
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 3: the first thing I'm gonna say. Second thing I'm gonna

186
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: say is Park coming in, you know, on last minute

187
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: notice against Tyra Essentially, you know, what can you really expect? Well,

188
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: he's got I think four or five finishes via rear

189
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: naked choke. He's very good from the back. He's got

190
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 3: good striking. That left hook he hit who was that

191
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:04,960
Speaker 3: against Shannon Ross and then obviously finishing him off with

192
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 3: liver shots that was pretty pretty impressive as well. You know,

193
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: he can do a lot, he can strike, he is

194
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 3: physical for the weight class. He's a road to UFC

195
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 3: winner by the way. Out of that, you know, the

196
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 3: Asian kind of theater that the UFC is trying to

197
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: set up over there, Like, dude, this is actually I

198
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: mean the problem is BC, neither of these guys are

199
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: known to anybody but hardcore. It's problem number one. Problem

200
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: number two is it's put together last minute because you know,

201
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: the USC's got a plug and play kind of model.

202
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: And then three, you know, in the case of Park,

203
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 3: he obviously has looked very good, but we don't exactly

204
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 3: know what his upside is, and not that we know

205
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: Tyra's either, but at least Tyra's been tested against somebody

206
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 3: the likes of Roival, so there's a lot that's kind

207
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 3: of unknown about it. However, based on how good both

208
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 3: of them are, how scrappy both of them are, and

209
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 3: how well rounded, especially in the case of Park, although

210
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Tyro a little bit more submission based than he is

211
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 3: standing acclimated, but nevertheless, you know they've got threats essentially everywhere.

212
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,840
Speaker 3: This fight should be a banger, dude. This fight should

213
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: be really, really fun.

214
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: And I always love when New Life is shot into

215
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: the higher end of some of these divisions that could

216
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: use it, especially when they're younger, hungrier names how we

217
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: got here, of course, I did leave out as a

218
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: mere al Bosi pulled out. Was it with an injury

219
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 1: or an illness? It was last minute for sure.

220
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what the specified reason was, but he

221
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 3: has had a series of health complications.

222
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: It said undisclosed reasons.

223
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, my sense is it probably could be related to that,

224
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: but I don't know that.

225
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: And of course Youngsung Park was scheduled a week from

226
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,760
Speaker 1: now to fight former title contender Steve Erseg So he's

227
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: not coming in here untrained. But he did talk this week,

228
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: did Park about having to cut a lot of weight.

229
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 1: Not afraid of that situation. But you mentioned that, Hey,

230
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: maybe the hardcores don't know who these I'm sorry, the

231
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: casuals don't know who these guys are in this hardcore

232
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: main event. It seems that some of the media also

233
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: doesn't know who they are. Here's an interesting moment from

234
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: Media Day this week.

235
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 7: I just talked about your sharing this card with a

236
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 7: fellow countryman and Tatsuro you know, Kaya Sakara made his

237
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 7: debut in the organization last year. How is the growth

238
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 7: of MMA and Japan and how do you feel being

239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 7: one of the faces of the sport there?

240
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 4: Actually he's not, He's still Park, I think.

241
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,239
Speaker 7: You know, yeah, yeah, No, he's sharing.

242
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 3: He's Park. That's why I was I'm.

243
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 8: Jumping jumping back to you know, the quick opponent change,

244
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 8: you know, I.

245
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Mean, is this worse than when Bryce Mitchell last week

246
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: was speaking Arabic to the man who was a Russian reporter. Uh,

247
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, but he had the right guys. In

248
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: this case, he just had the wrong country. Park from

249
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: South Korea, not from Japan.

250
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: But Park is like one of those like names like

251
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 3: Silva in Brazil. It's like you see someone with the

252
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: last name Park, there's like a ninety nine percent chance

253
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 3: their Korea.

254
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: Just like if you see a combat sports athlete of

255
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Armenian descent, they're fighting out of Glendale, California, and there's

256
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 1: nothing you can.

257
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,479
Speaker 3: Do about it. Hey shouts to Vic Darcinian.

258
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,199
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Yeah, indeed, indeed, all right, Luke,

259
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: let's talk about Tatsuro Tyra, who I guess gets a

260
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,720
Speaker 1: side privileges in this fight. Twenty five years old from Japan,

261
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 1: had a sixteen and oh starter to his career before

262
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: that fight against Royval last October, back to back stoppages

263
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,079
Speaker 1: against Carlos Sonandez, a common opponent between the two and

264
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: Alex Perez, a former title challenger. But in that fight

265
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: against Royval as gnarly as Tatsuro Tyro was from a

266
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 1: standpoint of willingness to take punishment and just keep coming back. Look,

267
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: we did have a rudimental problem with a lack of

268
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: head movement or really any striking defense of any kind,

269
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: will that be addressed and changed heading into this matchup?

270
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: In your eyes?

271
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: So, somebody of this age, as we've discussed many times,

272
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 3: often has the ability to make make up ground in

273
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 3: their deficiencies very very quickly. But of course that presupposes

274
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: that they're working on it and that they tried and

275
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 3: that this matters to them. And I have no idea

276
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 3: if he's done that since then. I mean, I don't

277
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 3: know how if your Tyra's team you look at the

278
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 3: footage from the Royval fight and think like, that's not

279
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 3: the first and most important thing to fix, because BC

280
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 3: you would agree like, can he scramble? Yes? Does he

281
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: have good takedowns? Yes? Does he have good submissions yes?

282
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: Is he tough? Is he durable? Is he in good shape?

283
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 4: Like?

284
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 3: There's a lot of key ingredients that are already in place,

285
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 3: hence some of his success and then the excitement that

286
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 3: we have around him. But oh my god, he got

287
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 3: shown up in that fight big time to be deficient

288
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: as it related to striking defense, and it really cost him. Dude.

289
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 3: Not for nothing. Park has good combinations, makes adjustments on

290
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: the fly. He's got a phenomenal left hook. I gotta

291
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 3: tell you like, you know, I have no way of knowing.

292
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 3: I have no way of knowing what he's gonna look

293
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 3: like tomorrow. But what I can say is, if he

294
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 3: didn't clean that up, Park's gonna take his head off.

295
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 3: Park can do it. Park has that kind of an ability.

296
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: But what I think is more likely to happen. B See,

297
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 3: this is just my official like sense of how I

298
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: think things will go. Park, I think will hurt him

299
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 3: on the feet, and then it's gonna end. It's going

300
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: to engender essentially a grappling contest, and that is where

301
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 3: I think Tyra might be scrappier between the two. There

302
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 3: he might have, you know, he might have just a

303
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: little bit more hustle in some of these positions, and

304
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: that can make up the difference. So it's not striker

305
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: versus grappler exactly, because you know, Park can grapple very

306
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: very well as well. It just means that I think

307
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 3: Park is probably gonna want to keep it on the feet,

308
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 3: and I think Tyra's gonna want to make it a

309
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: ground or you know, some kind of uh, you know,

310
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 3: wrestling exchange.

311
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. What's interesting though that Tyra lost that decision to

312
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: Royvall without showing any form of head movement or defense.

313
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 1: And then Royvall took that lack of head movement and

314
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 1: defense into that big fight against the breakout star last

315
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: time out in this division. So interesting transition right there.

316
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: But speaking of the common opponent between them, and that

317
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: is Carlos Hernandez, Tatsuro Tyra fought him three fights ago

318
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: in December of twenty twenty three, scoring a second round TKO.

319
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: But Youngsung Park came back from a nearly two year layoff,

320
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,239
Speaker 1: initially fueled by a knee injury to also face Hernandez

321
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: this May. He finished him by rare naked choke relatively

322
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: easy in the first round, just two and a half

323
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: minutes in, for whatever that is worth. But Park ten

324
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: and ohero overall three and oh in the UFC since

325
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 1: his twenty twenty three debut, and then, as you mentioned earlier,

326
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 1: the back to back finishes on the Road to UFC

327
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: Season one. So look, why is Road to UFC fights

328
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: considered official fights? I don't know if their official UFC fights,

329
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: but Dana White Contender Series is not. And then you

330
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: have which is an exhibition.

331
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,159
Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand the difference. It might be

332
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 3: related to commission rules and the places where it takes place.

333
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: I'm genuinely I'm not sure.

334
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't Okay, Okay, hopefully you're gonna feel a little

335
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: bit better.

336
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: A lot of fine, I feel, I mean fine, all right?

337
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: Our draftings odds at the moment, I don't have them

338
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: on my website, Long Island. Look, do you have the

339
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: draftings odds for this main event? As we get closer

340
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: to this tomorrow night?

341
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: Yeah?

342
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 5: So Tyra's coming in at minus three sixty Park plus

343
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 5: two eighty five.

344
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 1: Interesting, it is strong for me. I mean, it's late notice,

345
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 1: but Park already had a fight scheduled and somewhat big

346
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: one against Erseg, so it's not like he has been

347
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: doing nothing here. But let's talk.

348
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 3: About a very different fighter than Tyra. Tyra much more

349
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: grappling based, like significantly.

350
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 1: So, and much more wild, much more unpredictable in that regard.

351
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 1: So speaking of Tyra, uh, let's hear him talk about

352
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: the biggest lessons he did pull from that split decision

353
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,520
Speaker 1: low over five rounds to Brandon roy Val last year.

354
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 8: When you say working on your strength, you're talking about

355
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 8: strength and conditioning, And is that something that you normally

356
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 8: do a lot of or is that something that you're

357
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 8: starting to do more as you've progressed in your career.

358
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:15,960
Speaker 4: Mazenka. Yeah.

359
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,359
Speaker 6: The last fight against Revolve five minute, five round the

360
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 6: fight that definitely made me realize you need to get

361
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 6: better on conditioning and of course more on striking side

362
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 6: as well. So I think I'm back now definitely as

363
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 6: a better fighter.

364
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 4: That's great to hear.

365
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 8: I was going to ask you if there was something

366
00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 8: that you took away from that fight that you could

367
00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 8: use as a positive. But is that the main thing

368
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 8: that you realize that you thought that your conditioning maybe

369
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 8: was an issue or what else did you take away

370
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 8: from that loss?

371
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: Conditioning?

372
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 6: Yes, conditioning and striking for sure, but not just that.

373
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,480
Speaker 6: I learned a lot from that fight and gaining experience

374
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 6: as well. Now I'm fighting Hunston Pak, who's younger opponent,

375
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 6: so it's my turn to show the experience and what

376
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 6: UFC fighters are.

377
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: I can understand what he's talking about having more experience,

378
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 1: looking to bounce back from that loss and show it. Uh.

379
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 1: Tyro would go on to say he's got some big

380
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: plans here if he can get a win, and that

381
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 1: would be his countryman, Let's listen one more time.

382
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,439
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, it's just the h It's just a clip.

383
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Excuse me, my fault. There there is a Tatsura Tyra

384
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 1: interested in fighting kayas Sakura at Saitama Super Arena. That

385
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: would be a big one for the resurgence of Japanese mma.

386
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 1: But under the UFC banner. On the flip side, here

387
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: we have a Sun Young Park who is slowly learning English,

388
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: but when he does speak in English, he absolutely brings it.

389
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: In fact, he brings it to a level. We may

390
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: have to call in our friends from Cuervo for a

391
00:19:53,280 --> 00:20:02,520
Speaker 1: little shots fired, And of course this is shots fire

392
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: brought to you by Quervo. Now's a good time to

393
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 1: enjoy the tequila that invented tequila. Here, Shung Hyung Park,

394
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 1: I will smash title, touch throw.

395
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 8: Do you have any other English phrases that you've practiced

396
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 8: besides I was smashed the tour?

397
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 4: Do you have any of their phrases that you've worked

398
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 4: I was smashed.

399
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 1: By I'll break him.

400
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 4: Your last fight was submission, So should we expect a

401
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: knockout from you?

402
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: Now?

403
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 6: I think I submission knockout because the finish, Yes, knockout

404
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 6: which round.

405
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 8: M hm two or three, good.

406
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 4: Luck on Saturday. Thank you.

407
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: That could have been a lot worse, Luke, because when

408
00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: they taught me uh Portuguese swears. When I was a

409
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: bagger at stopping shop in the late nineties, I could

410
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: speak fluid sentences, but it was all like your mother

411
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: takes her shirt off in my bed on Sunday nights.

412
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Like it was all ridiculous stuff right there. What do

413
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: you make of that type of Hey, I'm coming in

414
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: here late, notice, but I'm coming in here to take

415
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: this guy out and get a big win and advance forward.

416
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 3: Youthful confidence that these guys it actually works out to

417
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 3: our benefit, right because they just don't know what they

418
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 3: don't know. All these guys think, oh, yeah, yeah, you know,

419
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 3: I'm in my mid twenties. How old is park? I

420
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 3: think twenty five, twenty six something like that. I believe

421
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 3: is he really twenty nine?

422
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:27,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

423
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 3: Yes, twenty nine? Yeah, you're right either way, still, you know,

424
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: full of the youthful kind of exuberance that comes with

425
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: having early stage success in them and may obviously being

426
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 3: very very good, and with the poet trying to make

427
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 3: me see is I think that he absolutely believes, no problem.

428
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: He's going to get the win, and Tyre is a

429
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: tough opponent, he'll have to work for it. But in

430
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 3: the end, yeah, sure, no problem. And whether or not

431
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: he's right or not, it doesn't matter. But I think

432
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 3: that he's going to get pressed. And again, I just

433
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 3: believe this is going to be I would be very

434
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: surprised if this is not an action oriented fight from

435
00:21:58,480 --> 00:21:59,399
Speaker 3: both guys.

436
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,199
Speaker 1: Indeed, indeed, and thank you so much to Quervo for

437
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: this shots fired segment. We will be back with UFC

438
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: three nineteen pregame preview in just a couple of weeks

439
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 1: ahead of that loaded card in Chicago, DDP versus Jamaiev.

440
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:15,560
Speaker 1: Who will be the third man? You gotta tune in

441
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 1: to find out as we get a little bit more

442
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: of that devil's reserve there from our friends at Quervo,

443
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,160
Speaker 1: let's go over to our betting expert Long Island, Luke Nocito. Luke,

444
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: we just laid it out. You've got a hungry, young,

445
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: unbeaten fighter in park here. But Tyra's experience at the

446
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: elite level does matter. How do you look at these

447
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: odds in light of the quick turnaround?

448
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 5: And where are you leaning this Saturday, I did so

449
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 5: I when this fight was announced. The odds weren't out

450
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 5: yet when I gave out my bet breakdown, so I

451
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 5: don't have like an official play on this, but I

452
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 5: was just looking at a few props that I'm liking.

453
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 4: Here the over three and a half.

454
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 5: I think this does go long because Park is good

455
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 5: on the ground. Luke mentioned he's got a couple of

456
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 5: rear naked chokes under his name. Also, he has one

457
00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 5: hundred percent takedown defense, so if he can just stuff

458
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 5: Tyra's pakdown and this stays standing, I feel like it's.

459
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: A granted though he's not fought someone who's as good

460
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 3: as tyraight for.

461
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: Sure it goes So I like the over three and

462
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 5: a half at plus money because I could see this

463
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 5: one going the distance for sure if they just cancel

464
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 5: each other's grappling out.

465
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: The other prop I liked is how about Park with

466
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 4: a plus thirteen and a half point spread, so he

467
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 4: has to win one round on one judge's scorecard and

468
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 4: that's plus one oh five. So as long as this

469
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 4: goes the distance or he just wins outright, I like

470
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 4: that as well. So those are the two you push.

471
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 1: Me back, however, on your prediction of it going the distance.

472
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 1: Park fought to a decision in his pro debut. His

473
00:23:35,080 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: next nine fights all stoppages, including all of the road

474
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: to and actual UFC performances. This time though five rounds.

475
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: He's gonna have to balance that cardial that's gonna.

476
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 4: Be a big part.

477
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,359
Speaker 5: Also, both these guys never been finished before, and like

478
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 5: Luke said, Tyra big step up in competition, So I

479
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 5: like it to go off for sure.

480
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,240
Speaker 1: There we go, Luke, as you look to this, I

481
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: don't want to make you speak at length here. You

482
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,240
Speaker 1: can even just give me a word. Who wins this one?

483
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Tyra. I just feel like he's

484
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 3: seen more from him, which is not fair, but it's

485
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 3: where we're at. But I will tell you, like this one,

486
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 3: if you saw Tyra get you know, put out with

487
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 3: a left hook, would not be surprising or rocked and

488
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 3: then submitted would not be surprising. Like Park can absolutely

489
00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 3: do that. It's just Tyra's a little bit more proven

490
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: at this point. So I'm gonna side with him. But

491
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 3: I'm expecting a banger, I really am.

492
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm leaning too the underdog here. I like the

493
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,840
Speaker 1: spirit that Park is bringing there.

494
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 3: But he's of mind is his nickname BC?

495
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 1: Yes, peace of Mind. Either way, this does feel like

496
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 1: a bit of a roll of the dice, like he

497
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: could go either direction. Two very young, hungry guys looking

498
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,199
Speaker 1: to attack. So gonna enjoy this main event in the

499
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 1: Flyway division now, even though the rest of this card

500
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 1: I have called it largely nubs, and I think it's

501
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: from a lack of star value or name value. One

502
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,439
Speaker 1: of the worst Apex Warehouse cards we've seen in a while.

503
00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: Both of you guys did point out earlier this week

504
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: that my casual ass needs to take a step back

505
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: because we do have bangers on this card. We do

506
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: have hungry action deliverers, and that's true in this lightweight

507
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 1: co main event as Matteas Rebetchki takes on Chris Duncan.

508
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: They're kind of former teammates. They seem to not really

509
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: like each other right here, at the very least, we've

510
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: got to expect that these two are going to bang.

511
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,000
Speaker 1: Let's hear Chris Duncan talking about the new dislike in

512
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: what he didn't like the behavior of Rebetski in signing

513
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: up for this fight. Let's check it.

514
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 8: Out, guys, have some history in the gym, right.

515
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 9: Yeah, So to be honest, I took this fight on

516
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 9: a bit of a weird reason. And so I had

517
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 9: my debut two thousand and whatever it be against Omar Morales,

518
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 9: but my opponent had pulled out before that, so I

519
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 9: was meant to fight Mikyl Ficklak. He was a post

520
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 9: guy as well, and we had done my training camp

521
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 9: and Mitisham Becky was already in that court in the gym.

522
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 9: He went away hat his fight, he won, and then

523
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 9: when he heard my opponent at pool doubt, he said,

524
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 9: I'll fight you. We'd already been in the gym together,

525
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 9: so I was a little bit like we're supposed to

526
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 9: be teammates. So you know, I told him on Twitter,

527
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 9: I just said, get in line. Everybody's wanting a piece,

528
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,800
Speaker 9: so just get in line. So you know, when this

529
00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 9: fight came about later down the line, the Sean Shelby

530
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 9: sent his name over. I'm a guy who likes to give,

531
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 9: and his wish was to fight me. So I gave

532
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 9: him that wish. So you know, I think it's a

533
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 9: bad move on him, but you know, I was happy

534
00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 9: to do it. And he's a very respectful opponent. He

535
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 9: was super respectful to me in the gym, and We're

536
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 9: just going to go out there and clash and I'm

537
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 9: going to show him I'm the better fighter. And it's

538
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 9: just unfortunately training the same gym, and I'm just I

539
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 9: was also very fortunate that American Top Team were so

540
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 9: professional in regards to you know, keeping us separate from

541
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 9: our trainings and stuff like that, so you know, it

542
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 9: is where it is. And like I say, I'm going

543
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 9: to make his wish come true.

544
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: That's interesting. He does say, Look, we got along great

545
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 1: in the gym, but I don't necessarily like how this

546
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 1: fight came together. But he was the one that reached

547
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: for it. And it is interesting. Now, duncan you can hear

548
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 1: that accent Scottish? He's uh thirteen and two overall as

549
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 1: a pro. He did get knocked out by Slava Clause

550
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: in his Dana White Contenders Series debut, came back a

551
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 1: year later to get a win four and one in

552
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 1: the UFC since then three by stoppage. Luke, what do

553
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: you make of this little kind of beef between them?

554
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,280
Speaker 3: I think that it's the best We've got to talk

555
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 3: about this fight from any kind of angle. Other than

556
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: here's a guy versus here's a guy. You know.

557
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: I mean, it's the damn comin event. But yeah, we

558
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: got two guys.

559
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,119
Speaker 3: Looks again, whether it deserves to be comin event is

560
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 3: another thing. It should be a fine fight. I think

561
00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:44,639
Speaker 3: I don't know how to pronounce his How do you

562
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: pronounce the Polish guys last name? Say it again?

563
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 4: Round Betski, like almost like the word r O U

564
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 4: n D in the front.

565
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:54,360
Speaker 3: Round bets round Betsky.

566
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 4: I've been listening to all the fighters pronounced their own

567
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: names on those media files, and that's how he says.

568
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 4: It's That's where I'm going.

569
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 3: All right, I'm gonna say, mateosh, Mateush to me is

570
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 3: the better fighter in terms of what he's proven between them,

571
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: but he also just has a style BC where he

572
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: has to labor a lot and he takes a ton

573
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 3: of damage.

574
00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: Oh my god, does he? Yes?

575
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, So you know, for that reason, I'm like, eh,

576
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 3: you never know here, But it just feels like there's

577
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:22,479
Speaker 3: not enough overlap in the training room for us to

578
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 3: be like, oh well this that the nature of the

579
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 3: relationship in the training room will clearly have some kind

580
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: of an effect on the fight. It's not really what

581
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 3: that is. It's just kind of an interesting sort of

582
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 3: footnote in a story about a fight that just has

583
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 3: to happen.

584
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: Ron Betsky more experience here of the thirty two year

585
00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: old veteran twenty and two overall. He's also four and

586
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 1: one in the UFC like his opponent Duncan, but we've

587
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,160
Speaker 1: seen his last two fights were pretty wild. He got

588
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: knocked out in the third round for his only UFC

589
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: loss against Diego Fajeda in May of last year, but

590
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: came back in October in that absolute war, winning a

591
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 1: three round split decision over the Mongolian or or a dude.

592
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,920
Speaker 1: That was two zombies going at it. Are we expecting

593
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: a return to that style of fight here?

594
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: I just think, I mean, Oral Bai is to me

595
00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: definitely better than Matasia's opponent on Saturday, So.

596
00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, whatever you got, whatever you can say.

597
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, well you know, coming you break. But anyway, I

598
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 3: think that he if he gets pushed there, he has

599
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: no way of going any other place. I just don't

600
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: know if that's what's going to happen on Saturday, all right.

601
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 1: Ron Betsky a little bit more than a two to

602
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: one favorite long Island. Look, do you normally have insight

603
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 1: on these guys? I normally ask you for the you know,

604
00:29:39,600 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: curtain jerkers here, but this feels like in all action

605
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: but still quasi curtain jerker. Colemane, where are you leaning here?

606
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 5: So this one's tough because, like, if you dissect their stats,

607
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,960
Speaker 5: they're literally identical and everything. They're both four and one

608
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 5: in the UFC, they both won for their last five,

609
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 5: they're both thirty two years old. They both land roughly

610
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: the same strikes for a minute and both roughly get

611
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 5: hit the same strikes per minute. But look at the

612
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:06,600
Speaker 5: competition against oral By and against Diego for Hara, those

613
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 5: are two killers. Also those were I don't know if

614
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 5: those one fight of the night, but they definitely should

615
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 5: have both of those banger of fights. I just like

616
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 5: feel like round Betsky is the better fighter. I'm running

617
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 5: with him here.

618
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: So really, all right, well we continue on down the card.

619
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: We continue on with the lightweights. Here Esteban Rivovich. We

620
00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: know he also gives us big time action fights, including

621
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: that one at the Sphere against Daniel Zelhuber. This time

622
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 1: he's taking on Elvis Brenner. Luke, what do we got

623
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 1: here two guys or two guys that are gonna bang.

624
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll take either either either equation.

625
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:42,719
Speaker 3: I guess I bet you will. I mean Ribovich Ribovis

626
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: is uh, he's got insane stats. We see his strikes

627
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 3: landed per minute are over eight, which is absurd beyond words. However,

628
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,320
Speaker 3: he nearly absorbs six strikes per minute, so he has

629
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: a positive differential. But that's just an enormous exchange with

630
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 3: the problem for Brenner is Brenner also absorbs almost six

631
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: at five point three. However, whereas Ribovik's lands at over

632
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 3: eight per minute, Brenner lands at less than four, So

633
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 3: he's got a negative differential and that number is insanely high.

634
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 3: I just feel like that's probably gonna show up. But

635
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 3: like you know, I'm not super high on either guy.

636
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: If I can be honest with you.

637
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: I understand it. El Gringo is what they call Ribevich.

638
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: Fourteen and two overall form Argentina, and he did come

639
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: back off of that victory against Daniel zel Huber by

640
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: split decision to drop a split decision of his own

641
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 1: against nosra Hakpaross in his last bout, So not a

642
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 1: ton here at stake, But I guess these all action

643
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: guys are going to bang. What about some people that

644
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 1: are saying, if you're going to do back to back

645
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 1: lightweight fights involving bangers on here, why did we not

646
00:31:51,640 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: put Ribovich against rom Betsky rather than put ron Betsky

647
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 1: in there against the teammate. That's what some aers saying. Luke.

648
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know why they ended up the way

649
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: that they ended up. I don't know how the UFC

650
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,280
Speaker 3: ended up together. Taste.

651
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: We've got a we got a hole in the damn hair.

652
00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: Let's stick some bubblegum. That's what we're doing.

653
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of that. There are some good

654
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 3: fights on this card if you want to talk about them, though, let's.

655
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: Talk about it. What are you looking at? Because you care,

656
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:17,760
Speaker 1: you care about MMA.

657
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 3: It's gotta be the Danny Silva and Kevin Vaejos or

658
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: a Jehost fight out of the Argentinian kid. He looks

659
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 3: to be the real deal Holy Field. Now it's so

660
00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: early you cannot say that with any degree of confidence,

661
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: but having him back is important. I think this is

662
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:33,840
Speaker 3: a fight he can win and he can look good

663
00:32:33,880 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 3: in doing that. To me is interesting Renya Knackamora also

664
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 3: a prospect of I would call value against Nathan Fletcher

665
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 3: is one not to miss. Uh, you could make an

666
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: argument for Pierre Hadriguez and Kaitlin Suza. You know, it

667
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 3: doesn't do much for me. Also, Neil Magne versus Elizi's

668
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: Los Guido Santos is like five to ten years too late, but.

669
00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: Magni's lost five of eighties thirty seven.

670
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 3: These are However, adelfov Era I'm always going to be

671
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: interested in because he was such a specimen in jiu jitsu,

672
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: but I realized that in mme it's not the same thing.

673
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: Not the same for the thirty five year old Brazilian

674
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: who has lost three of his last six, and I

675
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: mean ever since he got subbed by Fluffy Hernandez, it

676
00:33:14,120 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: feels like the magic's been gone.

677
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would agree again Watchingha, we didn't put in

678
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 3: the rundown. Bouchetsha loses to Martin Boudai. Now I'm not

679
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 3: one of those guys. It's like Martin Budai the next

680
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 3: big name and you know, heavyweight MMA. But he did

681
00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 3: go seven to one. BC beats Bouchisha and then the

682
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 3: UFC declined to re sign him. I'm just gonna ask

683
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 3: this genuinely, like, why would they do that? Is it

684
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,880
Speaker 3: because he has what I mean.

685
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,760
Speaker 1: Kelly, that hangs and flops? Is it like you should

686
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: call it?

687
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: He should call it Joey? Uh? What like a kangaroo?

688
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 3: Like having a Joey in there? I got it, I

689
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,080
Speaker 3: got it.

690
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm sure Nocie this dad loved that shoe. Yeah.

691
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 3: What I'm asking is from the UFC's point of view,

692
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,280
Speaker 3: why would they do that? What was reasoning behind why

693
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 3: they would do that?

694
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: You have no one at heavyweight. We're rolling out the

695
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:10,400
Speaker 1: same Spevac versus ty Burrow. You know, we're about to

696
00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: do six fights between the two of them, or at

697
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: least it feels like, oh, who are you take the

698
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 1: tour of Tafa? Please? No, we got a guy who's

699
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: seven and one. I mean, he's not overly exciting, Luke,

700
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: But what else do you have to do?

701
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:22,359
Speaker 10: All?

702
00:34:22,400 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 3: I can I hazard a guess please? I think they

703
00:34:26,040 --> 00:34:29,239
Speaker 3: just found him boring. Like, if I had to ask you,

704
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 3: besides the Boucheesha fight, what's your favorite Martin Bouday win,

705
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,640
Speaker 3: You'd be like, I don't fucking know. Long Isand look

706
00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: what's your favorite Martin boudaie win not counting bah.

707
00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 4: Well, see you gave me that caveat. I was gonna say, Bosha, Nah,

708
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 4: I don't Yeah, I don't know.

709
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,880
Speaker 3: See what I mean. I think they were just like,

710
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 3: you're just not memorable and we don't care. I think

711
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:48,240
Speaker 3: that's the reality.

712
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 5: Is there an argument though that, Like remember when they

713
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 5: reignited the flyweight division and they were like cutting all

714
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 5: these more boring guys and then signing all these like

715
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 5: LFA exciting guys, Like, is there that argument they're just

716
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,520
Speaker 5: gonna let's get rid of these boring guys and Rejude If.

717
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 3: They're cutting guys like Martine Budai and then they're gonna

718
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 3: announce we see I'm making something up right. Yeah. But

719
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 3: let's say they announced they're gonna sign and a totally

720
00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: Mallekin next week. Yes, okay, I'm fine, no problem. But

721
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 3: it's like they're just gonna cut the guy and there's

722
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 3: nothing coming in on the back end. That's the point

723
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 3: where I'm like, I don't get it, you know.

724
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you prefer things in the back end.

725
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: I would say that the idea of what about some

726
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: aging light heavyweights moving up to heavyweight to become action fighters.

727
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,400
Speaker 1: Maybe they're opening up some room for that.

728
00:35:29,440 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: I'm not Yeah, so let have weights to move up. Yeah,

729
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 3: there could be that as well. Again, it let's just

730
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,760
Speaker 3: see what they do to replenish, because I can understand

731
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 3: why they might get rid of him based on replenishing scenarios.

732
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 3: We just haven't seen them yet.

733
00:35:41,280 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 1: I mean, off the top of your head. And I

734
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: don't even know if this is something he's thinking about.

735
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: But what if you found out tomorrow that Yan Blokovitch

736
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: and Yuri Prahatska were moving up? Do you look at

737
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: those as contenders for the crown pretty quickly?

738
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,480
Speaker 3: Yan Belhovitch and Yury Prohotski for Yeuri? I do? Yeah.

739
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: You don't think Yan can find new life.

740
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:01,280
Speaker 3: There beating Tom Aspital?

741
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: No? Or or could he beat the guys on the

742
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 1: way to getting to Tom he.

743
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 3: Could beat maybe he could probably beat some of them. Sure?

744
00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:12,359
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, interesting interesting stuff right there? What else long island, Luke?

745
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,439
Speaker 1: Because I know you care? I know the main card

746
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 1: minute is going to be rocking regardless of your boyfriend

747
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,800
Speaker 1: girlfriend's situation on Saturday?

748

00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 3: you you've never met her. She lives in Canada kind

753
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 3: of thing.

754
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, she goes to a different school.

755
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:37,839
Speaker 5: We've been over this, but uh no, dude, I feel

756
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 5: like you guys went over every good fight on this card.

757
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,560

Speaker 1: This car No, it's nubs. I mean we went over.

759

Speaker 4: All the good fights, over all the good fights.

760
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: This card, this card, to me, has one of this

761
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,360
Speaker 3: kind like this kind of potential BC where if you

762
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,600
Speaker 3: sat down and watched it, you would be like, hey,

763
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: these fights turned out to be not so bad. It's

764
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,280
Speaker 3: definitely got that on it. But it doesn't have any

765
00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 3: fucking narrative or sizzle. It's just once again, it's UFC

802
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: of MMA we've got only it's this evening a nine

803
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 1: pm main card Star time from the famous Boardwalk Hall

804
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: in Atlantic City, home to Arturo Gotti's home to wrestle

805
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: many A four and five by the way, this time

806
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 1: will to be home to the.

807
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: PA to whatever communicable disease I have inside me?

808
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,680
Speaker 1: There you go. Why'd you get that in AC?

809
00:39:16,760 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 3: No, but I would imagine that AC would have it

810
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 3: on you know, extensive supply.

811
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they also have loneliness there. But what we're

812
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 1: gonna get is PFL eight And what this will feature

813
00:39:27,320 --> 00:39:29,520
Speaker 1: is I wanted to say, but it's not true. This

814
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: is like the world Championship. Is it fair to say, Luke,

815
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:37,280
Speaker 1: as this card will feature the welterweight and featherweight tournament

816
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:41,360
Speaker 1: division championships. I guess that what it really is is,

817
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 1: is this the championships of PFL USA. Is that how

818
00:39:44,440 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: we're supposed to, you know, read this, and that the

819
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 1: winner will advance on to this world tournament of champions

820
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: I don't see there's the here the good news I

821
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: don't even know, dude, I don't even get it.

822
00:39:57,760 --> 00:39:59,880
Speaker 3: I really the good news about the PFL product is

823
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,879
Speaker 3: it makes no sense to anybody, even those who pay

824
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:03,840
Speaker 3: close attention to it.

825
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:04,439
Speaker 1: Yeah.

826
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:07,800
Speaker 3: So my understanding is this would not encompass necessarily. And

827
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 3: I realized that PFL has divided in some ways along

828
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 3: geographic lines PFL Europe, PFL Mina, you know, and the like.

829
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't think this explicitly follows that. I would say

830
00:40:19,480 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 3: that the winner of this gets set up for a

831
00:40:21,480 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 3: future like company wide title championship. This will just be

832
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:28,800
Speaker 3: a tournament champion, like you could win the Strikeforce EVERYWEK

833
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:31,960
Speaker 3: Grand Prix that actually is a separate title from winning

834
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 3: the Strikeforce Heavyweight Championship. So it's kind of like that.

835
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: I just want to say it one more time, like PFL,

836
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: please drop all of these extra tournaments upon tournaments upon

837
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: tournaments and stop putting your best fighters in South Africa

838
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,279
Speaker 1: or other parts of the world and put them in

839
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:51,919
Speaker 1: there against one another for these championships. Please Anyway, these

840
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:54,360
Speaker 1: matchups are not bad though. That will close out the

841
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:57,759
Speaker 1: tournaments in two different divisions, including this main event that

842
00:40:57,800 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: we all like a lot. It will be for the

843
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:03,840
Speaker 1: well Wait Tournament Championship and that five hundred thousand dollars

844
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: cash prize or maybe via check or you know, let's

845
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,319
Speaker 1: hope that check clears. I think it will because Don

846
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:12,920
Speaker 1: Davis has been out getting big time investments from India

847
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,719
Speaker 1: from Abu Dhabi. But what we have is a good

848
00:41:15,920 --> 00:41:19,399
Speaker 1: PFL story as ten and Oh Thad Gene, a guy

849
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:22,720
Speaker 1: that we were really not talking about much entering this season.

850
00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: He went through the ass kicking machine Jason Jackson by

851
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: upset and now he's got another Bellator alum in the

852
00:41:29,080 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: case of logan Storyly Luke, when you look at this matchup,

853
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: twenty seven years of age for Thad Gene and that

854
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 1: hot run to the finals, is he on the verge

855
00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 1: in your opinion of becoming one of pfl's key breakout stars.

856
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 1: If he can get past logan story later tonight.

857
00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 3: I genuinely think he could be. Like you guys know,

858
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:51,359
Speaker 3: we got up here and talking about the PFL. Most

859
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: of the time, it's like, hey, they're gonna go out

860
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 3: of business, and it's never about some of the cool

861
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 3: things that they're doing. But let's give them an opportunity here.

862
00:41:57,719 --> 00:41:59,440
Speaker 3: This is one of the better things that they've got

863
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: going on. Now. I'm not going to sit here and say,

864
00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 3: you know, he's going to be the men's equivalent of

865
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 3: what they've developed in Dakota Ditcheva. I don't think that's

866
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 3: quite right. But he's important for a lot of reasons.

867
00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:15,040
Speaker 3: He's young, He's still in his midish twenties, right, He's

868
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 3: got an interesting personality. He speaks well on the microphone,

869
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,799
Speaker 3: like he can sell himself a little bit. And more

870
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:23,759
Speaker 3: to the point, as you indicated, a red freaking hot

871
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: run to the tournament backed by somebody. If you may recall,

872
00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:32,279
Speaker 3: they used to air on Fubo, the PFL Championship excuse me,

873
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,440
Speaker 3: the PFL Challenger Series, remember those BC They would air

874
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,720
Speaker 3: on Fubo, and I think Tyron Woodley called those fights

875
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,080
Speaker 3: and some other ones. Again, they have so many franchises

876
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 3: you lose sight of it. But the point I'm trying

877
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,880
Speaker 3: to make is they got the guy at a stage

878
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:47,720
Speaker 3: when he was very developmental and a very young pro,

879
00:42:48,400 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 3: and are now at the point where he could end

880
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 3: up beating a four time All American, a very experienced,

881
00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:56,400
Speaker 3: you know, twenty plus fighter, twenty plus pro fights, experience

882
00:42:56,440 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 3: fighter in Logan Storley, who of course comes from Kilcliff

883
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 3: backed by robbe lawlerblaeah blah blah. Like he's proof of concept.

884
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 3: Their concept is mixed and sometimes hard to understand it PFL,

885
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: but this one is pretty clear to see. He came

886
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 3: from developmental programming. He's winning his way through the tournament.

887
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:15,280
Speaker 3: He's winning in an exciting way. He's got great things

888
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 3: that you can look at and have excitement about his future.

889
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: He has to get past Logan story, but BC like

890
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:24,720
Speaker 3: that gene one of the things that has gone really

891
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 3: right for PFL and absolutely worth your time to watch tonight.

892
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, just twenty seven years old ten and zero had

893
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: that split decision win over Jason Jackson in the semi

894
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:37,920
Speaker 1: final round to get here, and now he's a little

895
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 1: bit more than a two to one favorite against the

896
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 1: former Belator title challenger and story who's riding a three

897
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 1: fight win streak, all by decision, of course, Luke. For

898
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: anybody that hasn't been following the Thad Gene story, how

899
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 1: do you sort of summarize the abilities that he brings

900
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:53,600
Speaker 1: to the table.

901
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,160
Speaker 3: He's much more striker than he is grappler, but he

902
00:43:57,480 --> 00:43:59,520
Speaker 3: against you know the way, how did he get to this?

903
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 3: He had a neck and neck or you know, a

904
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 3: tooth and nail fight. I suppose a tooth and nail

905
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:08,760
Speaker 3: fight against Jason Jackson, and ultimately he had Jason Jackson

906
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 3: out gunned on the feet, so he tried to take

907
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 3: him down and then you know, manhandle him there, and

908
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:19,800
Speaker 3: that Gene just simply would not let himself get handled

909
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 3: that way. Obviously it was close. It was a split decision,

910
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 3: but then before that he'd beat bra Khamov in like

911
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:29,799
Speaker 3: devastating fashion. Dude, He's he's awesome. He's awesome, he's doing

912
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:34,280
Speaker 3: awesome things. He's surprising people, he's likable, he seems smart,

913
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,880
Speaker 3: he's young. It's like, man like, if you're gonna get

914
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 3: excited about it, I mean, what's what are the criticisms

915
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,439
Speaker 3: we see of the PFL guys relative to UFC guys,

916
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, they're UFC washouts or you know, you

917
00:44:46,960 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 3: know somebody who's like a bit of a has been

918
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:51,000
Speaker 3: and this guy is the opposite of that. He's on

919
00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,920
Speaker 3: the come up. How far he can go, I don't know.

920
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 3: Logan story could easily you know, pop the balloon or

921
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 3: that he's trying to inflate here tonight. But but in general,

922
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,600
Speaker 3: there just appear to be so many reasons for optimism

923
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,200
Speaker 3: about it. And I think that's what I would like

924
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 3: to communicate to me.

925
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: And I'll give them credit, you know, from sort of

926
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:14,120
Speaker 1: casually following the PFL socials and the changes that they've

927
00:45:14,160 --> 00:45:16,440
Speaker 1: been looking to make lately, they've really done a good job,

928
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 1: in my opinion, presenting his story and showing you that

929
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: this is a homegrown guy on the rise that you

930
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:24,799
Speaker 1: need to pay attention to. We've got some footage here

931
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:27,360
Speaker 1: of that Gene talking about his journey to get here

932
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,560
Speaker 1: on a recent podcast sit down. Let's listen in did

933
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: you play other sports growing up? Yeah?

934
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:32,839
Speaker 3: What else?

935
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:33,399
Speaker 1: Did you play?

936
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,279
Speaker 10: Basketball? I played baseball for a season and then I

937
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 10: played football. The entire time, So what like an I guess,

938
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 10: was it just McGregor that initially said I'm gonna I'm

939
00:45:42,440 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 10: gonna fight, or like what was it that?

940
00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 1: No, it was an injury.

941
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 10: It was a football injury where I tore my lcl

942
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 10: and I couldn't do you and I was running back

943
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:50,960
Speaker 10: so I couldn't do like the breaks on the outside

944
00:45:50,960 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 10: because it shifted my own out and I was like, ah, God,

945
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:55,600
Speaker 10: what do I do now? I was like cut to

946
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:58,480
Speaker 10: I was like praying hard, God, what do I do?

947
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 10: And then randomly one of my brother's best friends told

948
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:03,920
Speaker 10: me about jiu jitsu. I went to jiu jitsu, and

949
00:46:03,920 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 10: then I started really diving into what this whole sport

950
00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 10: was about.

951
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's mooy tie.

952
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 10: And then I seen the next step of it was MMA,

953
00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 10: and then I seen Connor McGregor, and I was like, oh, shoot,

954
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:15,360
Speaker 10: I really like this guy's metality.

955
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: It's like my own.

956
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 10: He's going out there and he's doing what he's saying

957
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 10: he's gonna do, and he's not taking anyone's crap for it.

958
00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,200
Speaker 10: And I'm like, oh, I love that. I want to

959
00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 10: be like that guy. If anything, I want to be

960
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 10: better than that guy. And he's he's he's smart. He

961
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,960
Speaker 10: wears the right hats when he's supposed to, he wears

962
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:31,080
Speaker 10: the promotional hat when he has to wear a promotional hat.

963
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 10: He wears a fighter's hat when he's wear the fighter's hat,

964
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 10: and he wears that business hat real well, So I

965
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,840
Speaker 10: mean why not, Like, I mean, you don't want to

966
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,400
Speaker 10: look at his love life and things like?

967
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,839
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean yeah, we were just playing around there.

968
00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:45,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know there's ways you can take

969
00:46:45,040 --> 00:46:46,320
Speaker 1: inspiration for that. I wouldn't.

970
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't call his alleged crimes part of his love life.

971
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,799
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, but uh, Jeene six foot two,

972
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:55,680
Speaker 1: you heard that backstory coming from Football Fighting out of

Speaker 1: Fort Lauderdale, we got a little bit more about Jean's story.

Speaker 1: M m A title.

981
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 10: Loud and and that's what I and that's what I

982
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,440
Speaker 10: want to I want people to see history to make

983
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 10: and I'm going to to make sure that people see

984
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:36,600
Speaker 10: that faith, hard work, discipline, pressure, someone who is strong willed,

985
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:39,719
Speaker 10: who talks the way he talks, but confident because of

986
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 10: the faith he has is the way we all should,

987
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 10: I want to say all, but should just be confident

988
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 10: in what you do. And I'm going to put that

989
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:50,399
Speaker 10: on display, that it's not just something only I have,

990
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 10: but that we all have.

991
00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:53,399
Speaker 4: We just have to bring it out.

992
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 1: He's got a refreshing attitude. Those were appearances and the

993
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 1: spinning Backfist pod on Stool along Island. Look you do

994
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: a podcast with former MK producer director the Great Gaffney

995
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:09,840
Speaker 1: Jim Pere Pierre over there on the main card minute

996
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,839
Speaker 1: and that man vacation. What'd you just say?

997
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:14,080
Speaker 3: The Haitian sensation.

998
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, he vacked Haitians. Hodcore from Andre Berno to name

999
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 1: another Haitian? Is he on the thad? Gene Rise or

1000
00:48:23,920 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 1: Geen Rise as aggressively as I assume?

1001
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:28,920
Speaker 5: So I think it's Gene, even though you would think

1002
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 5: it's Jean because he's Haitian, but he's like born and

1003
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,840
Speaker 5: raised in America, his parents are Haitian. I don't know

1004
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 5: either way we're going. Gene Gaff's been on the Thad Gene.

1005
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:38,840
Speaker 5: I almost said trained, but then I went to Osbourne.

1006
00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 5: GA's been on the Thad Gene train since like day one. Dude,

1007
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,640
Speaker 5: for over a year. He's been telling me about this guy.

1008
00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 5: He watches every fight. Gaff almost got him for an

1009
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:50,000
Speaker 5: interview early on one of his favorite fighters.

1010
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 3: For sure.

1011
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:51,719
Speaker 4: You know he's gonna be riding with him.

1012
00:48:51,600 --> 00:48:55,040
Speaker 1: Today, Geffney Jim Pierre, excuse me for butchering that he

1013
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: likes trains, but he just doesn't like to pay for sex.

1014
00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 1: We can, we can understand and appreciate that. Luke. On

1015
00:49:00,960 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: the flip side, we've got a great veteran here, maybe

1016
00:49:03,160 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 1: not great, a very good at times veteran in the

1017
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:08,400
Speaker 1: thirty two year old logan story who probably tore it

1018
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,440
Speaker 1: up in his South Dakota hometown back in the day

1019
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 1: on a Friday night. I mean, that's a recurring joke

1020
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: that I'm sure is accurate. But Luke, even though fought

1021
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: well in that first fight with the Arslava Masov, that

1022
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 1: really put him on the map, you know, every time

1023
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: it was like step up time. Maybe we didn't see

1024
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: him fully make that step up. Got a split decision

1025
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 1: win over Michael venom Page back in twenty twenty two

1026
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: to briefly become the interim Belator welterweight champion at a

1027
00:49:37,440 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 1: time that I really thought MVP deserved to get his

1028
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,120
Speaker 1: hand raised. Lost a much wider unanimous decision to Amasov

1029
00:49:44,160 --> 00:49:47,400
Speaker 1: in their five round rematch for the title. Since that loss,

1030
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 1: though is four and one overall, was knocked out by

1031
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:54,719
Speaker 1: Shamil Musaiev under the PFL banner back in twenty twenty four.

1032
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:58,240
Speaker 1: The big theme entering into this, as you teased earlier,

1033
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: is that people are a little bit sick of Story's

1034
00:50:00,920 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: wrestling based only style. Asked about it this week, he says,

1035
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,279
Speaker 1: I'm not going to change a damn thing. Is this

1036
00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: style and the experience, and this legit experience. He's fought

1037
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 1: some good guys in both Walter and both Belator and PFL.

1038
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,920
Speaker 1: Is that enough to be a legitimate challenge to stopping

1039
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:21,040
Speaker 1: the rise of that gene as the next PFL breakout star.

1040
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 3: It might be. I mean, this really is not so

1041
00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,280
Speaker 3: much a test of Logan Storly that we can tell

1042
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 3: at this moment, but more a test of fat gene.

1043
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 3: Logan Storly is a good fighter, four time all American,

1044
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:34,560
Speaker 3: as you indicated, former interim belt or champion, has beaten

1045
00:50:34,600 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 3: good guys, trained with good guys, come from a good camp,

1046
00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:39,680
Speaker 3: and you know, at this point in his career is

1047
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:41,480
Speaker 3: kind of punted on the idea that he wants to

1048
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 3: be like decidedly well rounded. He just wants to stick

1049
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:45,760
Speaker 3: to his strengths and get some money and win some tournaments.

1050
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 3: And frankly, I think it's probably the right attitude at

1051
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 3: this point, right Yeah, I would think so. But but

1052
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,439
Speaker 3: what I'm gonna say is, you know, he you've seen

1053
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,440
Speaker 3: his ceiling, You've seen it. It's a good one, it's

1054
00:50:57,480 --> 00:50:59,640
Speaker 3: a real one, but it's you know, it's a lot

1055
00:50:59,640 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: of pissditional control. It will tell us a lot about

1056
00:51:03,200 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 3: Thad Gene if he's able to beat both Jason Jackson,

1057
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:08,280
Speaker 3: who was trying to stall him out in the wrestling,

1058
00:51:08,680 --> 00:51:10,759
Speaker 3: and then Logan Storley, who was going to probably be

1059
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 3: avowedly trying to not stall him out per se, but

1060
00:51:13,960 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 3: you know, control him, can win control positions to win rounds.

1061
00:51:18,640 --> 00:51:20,919
Speaker 3: You know what can Thad Gene do? Can he rise

1062
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:23,040
Speaker 3: to the occasion on the feet There's really no question

1063
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 3: he would. I think he would light up Logan storrely,

1064
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 3: no problem. But it's the other component, right, and of

1065
00:51:27,200 --> 00:51:29,080
Speaker 3: course how the two blend is a component as well,

1066
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 3: So it's just a to me. This is why I'm

1067
00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 3: kind of like we introduced to BC is like the

1068
00:51:32,880 --> 00:51:34,960
Speaker 3: Thad Gene kind of show, which is I'm not declaring

1069
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,640
Speaker 3: to you that he'll win. He could get ridden for

1070
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 3: you know, the whole fight, and you're like, oh right,

1071
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 3: when's it loses a unanimous decision about he could, But

1072
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 3: he's got momentum. He seems like a breath of fresh

1073
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:48,760
Speaker 3: air in terms of like names on the PFL roster.

1074
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 3: They basically produced him even from a much more developmental stage,

1075
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,000
Speaker 3: Like it's an exciting little show for him, and I

1076
00:51:57,040 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 3: hope that he can rise to the occasion.

1077
00:51:59,239 --> 00:52:01,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's also here one more time from Gene talking

1078
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: about the specifics all of this matchup against Story and

1079
00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,400
Speaker 1: why he thinks as a two to one favorite, he

1080
00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:08,799
Speaker 1: will get the job done.

1081
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:10,879
Speaker 10: Dark Horse to start out, but you know, now I'm

1082
00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 10: in the finals and we'll see what that horse turns into. Yeah,

1083
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,480
Speaker 10: exactly that, And I'm ready to take it away from uh,

1084
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:21,800
Speaker 10: take it all the way, take it takes the title.

1085
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 10: Come August first, against Logan Story. As we know, he's

1086
00:52:25,440 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 10: a one dimensional fighter. He's nothing like Jason Jackson. Jason

1087
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,600
Speaker 10: Jackson is a mixed, well rounded fighter. And so I

1088
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 10: don't want to say that I'm discounting Logan storly he's

1089
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 10: grappling his wrestling or anything like that. But that's all

1090
00:52:36,560 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 10: I gotta worry about. I don't feel like he wants

1091
00:52:38,719 --> 00:52:41,640
Speaker 10: to fight, if that makes sense. Like he's coming and

1092
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 10: I guess that's just the way he is. He's not

1093
00:52:43,320 --> 00:52:46,359
Speaker 10: he's not a talkative person. He's just he's coming out.

1094
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:47,200
Speaker 3: This is business.

1095
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 10: I come to do business, but this is how I

1096
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 10: conduct business. And uh, And when I look at someone

1097
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 10: like that, it's more like, hmmm, are you really here?

1098
00:52:56,400 --> 00:52:56,840
Speaker 1: You ready?

1099
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:57,640
Speaker 3: Are you actually ready?

1100
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,239
Speaker 10: Do you know what you're getting yourself into? Do you

1101
00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:01,920
Speaker 10: know you actually going against I'm seriously, I don't know

1102
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:03,160
Speaker 10: if I'm gonna actually fight him.

1103
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 3: That's how it feels. I'm ready to fight you.

1104
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:07,880
Speaker 10: Whoever goes into decades again, it doesn't matter who it is.

1105
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 10: But if it is Logan Story, and if he actually

1106
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,440
Speaker 10: does want to fight, then yeah, I'm gonna, Like I said,

1107
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:15,480
Speaker 10: I'm gonna take it away. From him not in the

1108
00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,719
Speaker 10: third nine of fourth nine O fifth, No, the first

1109
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 10: two rounds, he's gone.

1110
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 1: If this does look like a striking match for the

1111
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 1: first two rounds, he's gonna have a great opportunity to

1112
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 1: do that. Logan Storly, striking is it's serviceable? Basic? Yeah,

1113
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,799
Speaker 1: there's there's no other way to say that along Island. Look,

1114
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 1: you tend to do even live streams of PFL cards,

1115
00:53:36,520 --> 00:53:39,000
Speaker 1: So I do want to get your take here. Gene

1116
00:53:39,080 --> 00:53:41,640
Speaker 1: started out as the big underdog in this tournament. He's

1117
00:53:41,680 --> 00:53:44,640
Speaker 1: become the favorite in the final. Are you backing him?

1118
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 1: But that's probably dependent upon him keeping his back off

1119
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 1: the mat.

1120
00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm I'm gonna back him because I think like,

1121
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,440
Speaker 5: if you beat someone like Jason Jackson, you could probably

1122
00:53:53,480 --> 00:53:57,000
Speaker 5: beat someone like Logan Storly. So five rounds does make

1123
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:59,000
Speaker 5: me a little nervous in my head. I thought this

1124
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 5: was a three rounder because l is weird like that,

1125
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 5: and just as three rounders for everything. So I was

1126
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 5: like liking thad by Decision. Now that it's five rounds,

1127
00:54:06,640 --> 00:54:08,839
Speaker 5: I'm feeling a little more weary on that, but even

1128
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 5: still sad By Decision plus two fifty I like that

1129
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:12,280
Speaker 5: all right.

1130
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:15,600
Speaker 1: By reference, Logan Storley did go to the five round

1131
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,319
Speaker 1: limit in three consecutive fights during the UH Was that

1132
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,799
Speaker 1: a tournament or was that a big regular matchmaking when

1133
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: he beat Neman Gracie by decision, won the split decision

1134
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 1: against Michael Page, and then lost that subsequent five round

1135
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:32,000
Speaker 1: decision in the rematch with Amasov Lukes Thomas, I know

1136
00:54:32,080 --> 00:54:35,239
Speaker 1: you respect story, but I know you believe in this

1137
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:37,760
Speaker 1: high riser who gets their hand raised tonight.

1138
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 3: If I hadn't seen him beat Jason Jackson, I probably

1139
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:42,680
Speaker 3: would be like he might have squeaked by. But I

1140
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 3: watched it and I was like, very very impressed by it.

1141
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:48,040
Speaker 3: Give me Thad gene here man. We all know this well,

1142
00:54:48,080 --> 00:54:50,400
Speaker 3: no no pun intended. We all know the story with

1143
00:54:50,560 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 3: Logan story. You know it is. It is smothering wrestling.

1144
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,920
Speaker 3: That's the game. But I feel like it might be

1145
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 3: coming to an end, or at least the how do

1146
00:54:59,680 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 3: I say that, the ability for him to lord that

1147
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:04,799
Speaker 3: over interesting opponents I think has faded. He kind of

1148
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:07,280
Speaker 3: now I'm gonna say limped, But he didn't like cruise

1149
00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 3: to the finals in the way that that that More interestingly,

1150
00:55:11,560 --> 00:55:14,880
Speaker 3: I thought that that Jean did that. You know what,

1151
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 3: I've pronounced his last name properly, Jean. He he's just

1152
00:55:18,360 --> 00:55:19,920
Speaker 3: more interesting to me, So let's see if he can

1153
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 3: get it done. I give my I think the young

1154
00:55:21,920 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 3: kid will get it done here.

1155
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 1: Well, I got to say this, Yeah, I agree with

1156
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 1: that breakdown. I'm also going to back fad Gene here

1157
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: because I do see those limitations of storly play out,

1158
00:55:31,239 --> 00:55:33,080
Speaker 1: and even when he gets you down, man, it's not

1159
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 1: like he's necessarily on the verge of finishing you at

1160
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:40,400
Speaker 1: any time. He's just a solid, experienced, strong tough out.

1161
00:55:40,760 --> 00:55:42,600
Speaker 1: But I think Fad Gene has what it takes and

1162
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 1: if he doesn't, look it'll be a it'll be a

1163
00:55:44,800 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 1: humbling disappointment in that regard, So we'll tune in. I'm

1164
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,239
Speaker 1: expecting fireworks though in this co main event, which will

1165
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 1: also Crowny Tournament champion, this time at featherweight. And Heyzeu'seda

1166
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,239
Speaker 1: the Pinato excuse me, The twenty nine year old from

1167
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: Peru is on fire. He'll be a slight betting favorite

1168
00:56:03,080 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 1: when he brings his five fight win streak, all by

1169
00:56:06,400 --> 00:56:13,239
Speaker 1: stoppage against mavlid Haba Habulayav the thirty four year old

1170
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:17,759
Speaker 1: from Russia who is twenty three zero to one, but

1171
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 1: did have that draw against Andre Harrison in twenty nineteen,

1172
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: followed up with a TKO loss to Daniel Pineda that

1173
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:29,040
Speaker 1: was overturned when Paneda tested positive for a band substance

1174
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 1: that became a no contest. Since then, though, you look

1175
00:56:32,320 --> 00:56:37,239
Speaker 1: at the run overall that habulayav is on includes victories

1176
00:56:37,280 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: by decision over Lance Palmer, Brendan Locke named Chris Wade

1177
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,080
Speaker 1: three of the biggest veterans of this weight class or

1178
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 1: in and around this weight class. And then you can

1179
00:56:45,719 --> 00:56:48,959
Speaker 1: further to his return after a two year break for

1180
00:56:49,080 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: a what didn't he pop too, Luke? Is that why

1181
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 1: he took off two years?

1182
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 3: I don't remember.

1183
00:56:57,160 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, failed drug test, so he was pulled from the

1184
00:56:59,200 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three season. But when he returned, he got

1185
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,279
Speaker 1: that split decision win over Jeremy Kennedy and an all

1186
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:07,560
Speaker 1: Action fight and followed it up with a split with

1187
00:57:07,680 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: a unanimous decision over Kim ty Kwan. When you look

1188
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:15,279
Speaker 1: at this matchup, Luke, the red hot Pinato against the

1189
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 1: solid hammer that this Russian is what are you looking.

1190
00:57:18,280 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 3: At, dude? Pinato is such a fun story. He had

1191
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 3: a very you know, unremarkable and short run in UFC,

1192
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 3: and even his first fight after that I think he

1193
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 3: didn't win, but since then has been on an absolute

1194
00:57:34,640 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 3: tear b See he is of the four fighters in

1195
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 3: this one, so in the main and Comaine that Logan

1196
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:46,439
Speaker 3: Maveld and now Jesus. Jesus is by far the most

1197
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 3: interesting I should say, no that's not quite right, but

1198
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: the most dynamic. I mean, you might say Hybelia, but

1199
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:55,200
Speaker 3: he kind of eked across the finish line against Jeremy Kennedy,

1200
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,680
Speaker 3: a good fighter, but still like he I thought there

1201
00:57:57,680 --> 00:58:01,240
Speaker 3: would be some separation between them. No, absolutely not. Meanwhile,

1202
00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 3: Pinato has just in contestably improved BC. I've just been

1203
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 3: blown away by what he's done. Let me pull this

1204
00:58:09,800 --> 00:58:12,240
Speaker 3: up just like sort of set the tone here if

1205
00:58:12,280 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 3: I can for just a second. Haz's Panato coming to us,

1206
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 3: by the way, just twenty nine years of age, and

1207
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:22,120
Speaker 3: yet he's already got you know, well into mid thirties fights.

1208
00:58:22,360 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 3: But BC as indicated, you know, he lost to John

1209
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:26,640
Speaker 3: mcdesi in twenty nineteen in a very who hum kind

1210
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 3: of way, tried to regain some things lost his first

1211
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 3: bout against Gabriel Braga in PFL, but hasn't lost since

1212
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 3: he stopped Brendan Locknane, famously the guy who Dana White

1213
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,120
Speaker 3: didn't want to give a contract to, went on to

1214
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:42,440
Speaker 3: win PFL, stops Bubba Jenkins, then stops Gabriel Braga. I

1215
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,680
Speaker 3: was at that event that was in DC the.

1216
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:48,400
Speaker 1: Tournament, Yeah, that's right.

1217
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 3: Then he goes against Adam Borich, who's a good fighter

1218
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 3: out of kill. Cliff stops him inside a round. Then

1219
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: they give him to they do the trilogy with Braga,

1220
00:58:56,400 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 3: and then he stops him inside of two fucking minutes. Brother,

1221
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,000
Speaker 3: I am telling you, I am telling you, Jose excuse me.

1222
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 3: Heyesus Pinato is a genuine kind of comeback story where

1223
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:12,760
Speaker 3: at the moment he had the most visibility, which was

1224
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,880
Speaker 3: his UFC time, he wasn't ready, clearly was not ready.

1225
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,920
Speaker 3: Now he's ready for his close up. And I honestly

1226
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 3: think I rarely picks somebody from South America, particularly Spanish

1227
00:59:23,160 --> 00:59:26,560
Speaker 3: speaking South America, over you know, someone from you know

1228
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 3: who's got some kind of Russian last name, but I'm

1229
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 3: gonna do it in this particular case. B See, I

1230
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 3: think Panato is the guy to win this whole thing,

1231
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 3: and I think Habalive is going to have a hard

1232
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:36,920
Speaker 3: time keeping up with him.

1233
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, Panato is on fire. You mentioned those two fights

1234
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 1: in the UFC in twenty eighteen and nineteen. You mentioned

1235
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:46,880
Speaker 1: the five straight stoppage wins, all against high level competition

1236
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: that the PFL has to offer. And let's not forget

1237
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,840
Speaker 1: after winning that twenty twenty three PFL tournament, he missed

1238
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: all of twenty twenty four with a back injury, pulled

1239
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: out of two consecutive fights. So to come back from

1240
00:59:58,720 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: that continue that streak. Stopping Bortch is no joke, and

1241
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:05,880
Speaker 1: he did so particularly violently in the first round, and then,

1242
01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:09,160
Speaker 1: as you said, getting the another stoppage over Braka in

1243
01:00:09,200 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 1: their trilogy to set this up, this is going to

1244
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: be a good matchup. Hobalaya is bringing some really good

1245
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 1: momentum of his own. Very very slight favorite is Panada.

1246
01:00:19,160 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: I'm certainly back or Pnato. I'm certainly backing him here,

1247
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,640
Speaker 1: Long Island, Luke, where are you leaning in this matchup?

1248
01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 4: I gotta go Pinato as well.

1249
01:00:27,600 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 5: I mean, he's won the tournament before, he hasn't lost

1250
01:00:29,960 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 5: since winning the tournament and he's won his last two

1251
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 5: fights by first round knockout.

1252
01:00:34,040 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 4: I don't know if he gets the knockout.

1253
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:38,320
Speaker 5: Here Luke mentioned that Hobbalaya of Jeremy Kennedy fight, Like

1254
01:00:38,360 --> 01:00:39,919
Speaker 5: I thought Jeremy Kennedy.

1255
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 4: Won that fight for sure.

1256
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1257
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,320
Speaker 5: Now it's like, all right, he's arguably one in one

1258
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 5: in this tournament run. Do we really trust him in

1259
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,520
Speaker 5: the final? I gotta go Pinato, probably by ko.

1260
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:52,280
Speaker 1: Honestly, Uh, after this, there's a bunch of other fights,

1261
01:00:52,320 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 1: but I don't think they have any significance, am I right?

1262
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Luke Thomas right?

1263
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 3: Oh yeah no? The ones after that? Mean again, you

1264
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 3: can make an argument that PFL has the best Maine

1265
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 3: in Comaine. But after that, it's like, oh no, there

1266
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:06,120
Speaker 3: is one There is one fight that you should pay

1267
01:01:06,120 --> 01:01:10,480
Speaker 3: attention to BC, if I may, it is hold on,

1268
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 3: I'm trying to pull it up here. It is Jordan

1269
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:17,480
Speaker 3: Newman taking on Islam Abdul Basset. I don't care about

1270
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,440
Speaker 3: Abdul Basset all that much, but Jordan Newman, not human

1271
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 3: is his nickname seven to zero, a Division two or

1272
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:24,919
Speaker 3: three wrestler. I'm not sure which one, but he looks

1273
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 3: like a really interesting, fun prospect undefeated, keep an eye

1274
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:28,640
Speaker 3: on him.

1275
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: Indeed, good stuff right there. Let's go to the topic

1276
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 1: number three as the discussion continues. After a TKO inspired

1277
01:01:36,600 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 1: bill was created by bipartisan Congressmen looking to get it

1278
01:01:42,240 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 1: voted upon this fall to amend the Ali Act and ultimately,

1279
01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: at least from this side of the opinion stance, really

1280
01:01:49,920 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: open up the door for ZUFA Boxing and fellow UBOs

1281
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 1: as it would, to come into boxing and essentially have

1282
01:01:57,600 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: a UFC style rule in terms of the regulation, in

1283
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:04,720
Speaker 1: terms of so many different things. Well, what is our update.

1284
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:08,600
Speaker 1: One of the original architects of that two thousand Muhammad

1285
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 1: Ali Boxing Reform Act, Pat English, a well respected attorney

1286
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: in boxing, recently spoke out against the TKO proposed amendment

1287
01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 1: that's been introduced to Congress. Do you think, Luke, that

1288
01:02:22,480 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 1: the boxing community is going to be moved by any

1289
01:02:25,880 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 1: of this messaging? First, let's check out this statement by English,

1290
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: and then we'll react to it. This is from a

1291
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 1: tweet from Eric mcgracken, who, like John Nash, has also

1292
01:02:34,880 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 1: been and Zach Arnold been on top of this story

1293
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 1: as an individual. English said, who was heavily involved in

1294
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:42,919
Speaker 1: the drafting of the Professional Boxer Health and Safety Act

1295
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,200
Speaker 1: and the Muhammad Ali Act, and who has an extensive

1296
01:02:45,200 --> 01:02:48,280
Speaker 1: boxing resume, I feel that I am uniquely qualified to

1297
01:02:48,360 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 1: comment on the proposed amendment to the Acts. When John

1298
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: McCain and his staff drafted the Acts, there was no

1299
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 1: agenda but one. That agenda was to make boxing better, safer,

1300
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 1: and more fair to boxers. There was no intent at

1301
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:06,400
Speaker 1: all to favor any single promotional entity. That is not

1302
01:03:06,560 --> 01:03:10,320
Speaker 1: the case here. The clear intent is to favor a

1303
01:03:10,440 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 1: single promotional entity. The bill was substantially drafted by lobbyists

1304
01:03:15,240 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 1: for that entity to wit ZUFA and its various subdivisions.

1305
01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:23,560
Speaker 1: End quote. And just to remind everybody, this was not

1306
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 1: presented to the Fighter Committee that the Association of Boxing

1307
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: Commissions as so they sort of somewhat sneakily went around

1308
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: that in full support of it. Mike Mizzouli the head.

1309
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: So we got a bunch of issues here, Luke. I

1310
01:03:36,960 --> 01:03:39,120
Speaker 1: did listen to a lot of the content this week

1311
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:43,640
Speaker 1: that was great stuff, including Boxing Esquire podcast host there

1312
01:03:44,120 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 1: Man I always forget my man's name in real time, Kert.

1313
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 3: M Hoff, thank you, yeah.

1314
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,520
Speaker 1: And one thing em Hoff said about that two thousand

1315
01:03:50,760 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 1: update to this act, which put Muhammad Ali's name on it,

1316
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 1: was that it was almost exclusively created aimed at Don King,

1317
01:03:57,920 --> 01:04:01,240
Speaker 1: who at that time was really doing some shady stuff

1318
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:03,880
Speaker 1: behind the scenes in an effort to try to become

1319
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: not just the lead promoter in the sport, but almost

1320
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 1: take over in his own soft monopolizing way. That's the

1321
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: reason why that thing got shot down. So to see it,

1322
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: all these years later get opened back up for one promotion,

1323
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:19,600
Speaker 1: it's definitely gonna ring alarm bells. What do you take

1324
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,280
Speaker 1: away from what pat English said right there?

1325
01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,360
Speaker 3: So let me just say one other thing. We are

1326
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:28,160
Speaker 3: BC read you an excerpt of what he wrote, but

1327
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,280
Speaker 3: if you read the fuller statement, he actually goes item

1328
01:04:31,600 --> 01:04:35,880
Speaker 3: and I mean like item by item, to be like,

1329
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 3: this is what this new act, the Revival Act, is

1330
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 3: stripping out, and this is what it was the original

1331
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 3: one was intended to do. So like all the things

1332
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,480
Speaker 3: that are missing and all the things that are clearly

1333
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:48,840
Speaker 3: you know not on the I mean it's above board

1334
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 3: in the sense that they're trying to use the legislative process,

1335
01:04:51,440 --> 01:04:53,000
Speaker 3: But you know what are they trying to use the

1336
01:04:53,040 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: legislative process for? So he goes. He itemizes in the

1337
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 3: most specific ways the things that you know the act

1338
01:05:00,280 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 3: would essentially cause you know what's missing from it. The

1339
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,800
Speaker 3: initial question that you asked me see is the more

1340
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 3: interesting one, which is how is the boxing world receiving it?

1341
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:17,480
Speaker 3: And I definitely can detect that there is not necessarily

1342
01:05:18,600 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 3: strong sympathy for TKO. There is a lot of consternation

1343
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,760
Speaker 3: about Dana White specifically getting involved in boxing. I see

1344
01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 3: a lot of people being like, you know, keep Dana

1345
01:05:29,240 --> 01:05:32,080
Speaker 3: out or something like that. You know, he's become obviously

1346
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 3: a target in that way, and you know a general

1347
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:39,760
Speaker 3: distrust of the UFC exploitation machine, Like I definitely have

1348
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 3: seen that. However, I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

1349
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:50,480
Speaker 3: I mean, understand something. TKO is not asking boxing's approval

1350
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:54,160
Speaker 3: to do what they want to do, right, They're not

1351
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:58,560
Speaker 3: going to various gyms, they're not talking to trainers, they're

1352
01:05:58,600 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 3: not doing any of that stuff being like, you know,

1353
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,120
Speaker 3: is this something we could get you on board with.

1354
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,640
Speaker 3: They're just doing it. And the people whose permission they

1355
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 3: are asking is essentially Congress and Congress and know, we'll

1356
01:06:10,040 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 3: see how the vote inevitably goes. But I think it

1357
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 3: will probably go their way. Like they're not you know,

1358
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 3: people being like, oh, if enough people in boxing make noise,

1359
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,280
Speaker 3: it will have an effect only if it affects the

1360
01:06:21,400 --> 01:06:24,920
Speaker 3: voting down the line. But like, they're not interested in

1361
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:29,000
Speaker 3: getting boxing's approval, And if anybody who's watched them work

1362
01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 3: in MMA, whether it's you know, going to rebock gear

1363
01:06:32,760 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 3: or any other decision that they've made, they don't. They

1364
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 3: don't ask the opinions. They just do what the fuck

1365
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,360
Speaker 3: they want to do, and then everything else follows thereafter. So,

1366
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:44,919
Speaker 3: you know, is there enough coordinated resistance to affect how

1367
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 3: the voting goes. It's too early to say. I suspect

1368
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 3: probably not. The only thing I would, you know, ask

1369
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:53,479
Speaker 3: people to take a look at is, as somebody who

1370
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,880
Speaker 3: has lived in a very very very brief time, you know,

1371
01:06:56,920 --> 01:06:58,720
Speaker 3: spend a little bit of time on Capitol Hill watching

1372
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,400
Speaker 3: how laws get made, you would have to have some

1373
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 3: kind of coordinated resistance to really give yourself a chance

1374
01:07:06,800 --> 01:07:09,920
Speaker 3: at stopping this, right, you'd have to have some kind

1375
01:07:09,960 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 3: of activist group or some kind of an amare minimum

1376
01:07:12,600 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 3: ad hoc group come together, and they would have to

1377
01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 3: do a lobbying strategy. They would have to do a

1378
01:07:19,560 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 3: media strategy, they would have to have a Capitol Hill

1379
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,840
Speaker 3: strategy about which senators or congressman you're going to talk to,

1380
01:07:24,960 --> 01:07:29,480
Speaker 3: and you know, and there's none of that. It doesn't exist.

1381
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,560
Speaker 3: Like only one group is doing that. It's the group

1382
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 3: that's trying to change the law. So see, maybe you disagree.

1383
01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 3: I feel like I am definitely seeing verbal commitments to

1384
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:47,080
Speaker 3: or i should say, verbal concerns about what TKO is doing,

1385
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:50,840
Speaker 3: but in terms of pulling any of the levers that

1386
01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 3: are meaningful in getting them to stop, nobody's doing anything.

1387
01:07:57,440 --> 01:08:01,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been a little underwhelmed by, not just in

1388
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: relation to this, but let's not forget it was March

1389
01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:07,600
Speaker 1: fifth that the partnership between Turkey and Data was announced,

1390
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:10,040
Speaker 1: in which they straight up said like, we are going

1391
01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:13,520
Speaker 1: to crush the competition. So even separate from the ALIAC change,

1392
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 1: there's been nothing on a counterfront of saying like yourt

1393
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,400
Speaker 1: you're seting, your intentions are to block everyone else and

1394
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 1: make yourself the entire sport. So yeah, I've seen, you know, instead,

1395
01:08:26,439 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 1: I've seen these same people that are going to be

1396
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:32,280
Speaker 1: rivals of Turkey and Data or Turko, as some people

1397
01:08:32,280 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: are now calling it, which is brilliant. They're still lining

1398
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: up to get their Turkey money, which hasn't been great.

1399
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:40,839
Speaker 1: I am seeing, you know, the people you would expect

1400
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:43,559
Speaker 1: to have a soul in boxing stand up and speak

1401
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 1: out against this. I've really been shocked at the lack

1402
01:08:45,880 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 1: of mainstream media doing that, you know what I mean,

1403
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,400
Speaker 1: boxing scenes doing that. We're doing that. You know, We're

1404
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: getting a lot of people out there, all those great

1405
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:55,920
Speaker 1: names I mentioned who are known for telling the truth

1406
01:08:55,960 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 1: on these stories. But I've really been shocked this appointed

1407
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: in seeing the mainstream media or even the mainstream combat

1408
01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:09,000
Speaker 1: media really looking at this as well. It does say

1409
01:09:09,040 --> 01:09:11,160
Speaker 1: it's going to help the sport in these certain ways,

1410
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: and really not coming truthful with what this is. A

1411
01:09:15,080 --> 01:09:18,519
Speaker 1: straight up attempt at monopolization, a straight up attempt to

1412
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:21,479
Speaker 1: say you can all still play by the old rules.

1413
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,559
Speaker 1: But as long as we as a UBO have our

1414
01:09:24,600 --> 01:09:28,120
Speaker 1: own you know, performance facility, our own minimum drug testing,

1415
01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 1: our own this and that, and UFC has all of that,

1416
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: then we're just going to operate without any of those

1417
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 1: rules that protect the fighters, that provide the you know,

1418
01:09:37,080 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: the the transparency of the financials. I really encourage everyone

1419
01:09:41,320 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: to listen to Kurt Emoff's interview on John S Nash's

1420
01:09:44,439 --> 01:09:47,160
Speaker 1: podcast where Kurt is a former boxer or a current

1421
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,840
Speaker 1: sorry still lawyer boxing manager, where he breaks down all

1422
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:54,360
Speaker 1: the specific areas as a manager in which he has

1423
01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: actually utilized the ALIAC to protect his fighters in key

1424
01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 1: situations for everyone who's knee jerk responses to say, well, yeah,

1425
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: the ali Act doesn't actually enforce this or that, or

1426
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:06,720
Speaker 1: it really hasn't done this or that. I mean it

1427
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,600
Speaker 1: goes back to that that that thing you said on

1428
01:10:09,720 --> 01:10:12,920
Speaker 1: MK once Luke about that I forgot what you called it,

1429
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 1: but with the fence and you'remis and I thought that

1430
01:10:16,920 --> 01:10:19,360
Speaker 1: was brilliant and the idea that it's obviously there for

1431
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:23,640
Speaker 1: a reason to present to prevent strong arm takeover, and

1432
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:26,559
Speaker 1: everyone's just sort of like, yeah, well it's inevitable, so

1433
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: let's let him do it. I don't think it is inevitable.

1434
01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's automatic. Uh is the are the

1435
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 1: scales tilted in favor of Turko because of the connection

1436
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 1: to to uh Donald Trump? Ari Emmanuel's ability to really

1437
01:10:40,800 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: play all sides and everything he does from politics to

1438
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: business and always really have the upper hand or the

1439
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,519
Speaker 1: ace in his you know, on the sleeve. That certainly

1440
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:52,799
Speaker 1: helps them. But let's not forget the UFC just settled

1441
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: a lawsuit for not taking care of their fighters. There's

1442
01:10:56,240 --> 01:10:59,439
Speaker 1: a secondary lawsuit that could go to trial on that

1443
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:03,400
Speaker 1: same time. I can't see how people in good faith

1444
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 1: can approve the UFC model in boxing when they're still

1445
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:09,480
Speaker 1: cleaning up crap from not taking care of their athletes previously,

1446
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 1: and that this is just going to remove those protections

1447
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,639
Speaker 1: for the current boxers again, I just don't see it. Yeah,

1448
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 1: you can overpay a ton of boxers up front to

1449
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: bring them over to the Turko side, and you know

1450
01:11:21,479 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 1: where you're either with us or against us. If you're

1451
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,840
Speaker 1: fighting for Turko, you're fighting for ZUFA or ring belts,

1452
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: and you're not fighting against everyone else. I'm okay, it's

1453
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,920
Speaker 1: a free open market with Turkey, Dana, any of these

1454
01:11:32,920 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: people coming into boxing. But these rules are slanted toward

1455
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:39,679
Speaker 1: them having the ability to wake up and be born

1456
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:42,360
Speaker 1: on third base and have full control of the sport

1457
01:11:42,479 --> 01:11:45,559
Speaker 1: if they can get there with their financial control. How

1458
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 1: is this fair of the fighters? How is this fair

1459
01:11:47,600 --> 01:11:50,400
Speaker 1: to open business for everyone else? Luke I did have

1460
01:11:50,439 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 1: an interesting guest on my Inside the Box podcast yesterday

1461
01:11:54,200 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 1: on my YouTube channel with Raith Barbarollome, we welcome down

1462
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,440
Speaker 1: a longtime listener, Logan Dobson, who who is a lot

1463
01:12:00,439 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 1: in DC and a boxing fan. And I thought it

1464
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 1: was refreshing that he gave the other side to it.

1465
01:12:05,760 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 1: How realistic this is of getting passed that the fact

1466
01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 1: that a lot of boxing fans, if you don't like this,

1467
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 1: well you're just going to go back to that four

1468
01:12:13,160 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 1: belt system that's corrupt and sucks anyway. And I hear that,

1469
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: but this ain't it. This ain't the fix we need.

1470
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: I hope more of boxing, including the fighters themselves, stand

1471
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 1: up and say that. But if they can get big

1472
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,120
Speaker 1: turkey money in the short you know, in the short time,

1473
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 1: they're not going to do that looke. You know that.

1474
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:30,800
Speaker 1: You know that?

1475
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean listen, you know that. We have a

1476
01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,000
Speaker 3: video and if I don't know, if you want to

1477
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Speaker 3: play it, me see from Oscar de la Hooya, and

1478
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:37,240
Speaker 3: he says a bunch of stuff in it that it's

1479
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 3: quite truthful, but there's one thing he says that is

1480
01:12:39,240 --> 01:12:43,040
Speaker 3: not I think the right thing. There's a couple of them,

1481
01:12:43,040 --> 01:12:45,080
Speaker 3: but there's one that he says, you know, I don't

1482
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 3: want to touch the ALI Act at all, And I'm like, yeah,

1483
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 3: I do. Actually, I'm totally okay with changing it or

1484
01:12:52,360 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 3: updating it. What I'm not okay with is gutting it.

1485
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:01,599
Speaker 3: What I'm not okay with is circumventing the most important parts.

1486
01:13:01,720 --> 01:13:05,280
Speaker 3: What I'm totally okay with is making it better. But

1487
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:09,400
Speaker 3: you're right if the answer is, hey, it's TKO or

1488
01:13:09,400 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 3: the status quo, Yeah, no, one likes the status quo.

1489
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,200
Speaker 3: That's that's the pitch that they're trying to make. It's

1490
01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 3: TKO or it's nothing.

1491
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: No, it's not.

1492
01:13:16,600 --> 01:13:18,880
Speaker 3: No, it's not It's absolutely not that way at all.

1493
01:13:18,920 --> 01:13:21,280
Speaker 3: They're just telling you that it is so they can

1494
01:13:21,320 --> 01:13:22,439
Speaker 3: sell you a bunch of bullshit.

1495
01:13:23,040 --> 01:13:26,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, not to mention, isn't it isn't the UFC system

1496
01:13:26,160 --> 01:13:28,599
Speaker 1: illegal in this country? Look? I mean, shouldn't it be?

1497
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,120
Speaker 3: Isn't it in boxing?

1498
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,960
Speaker 1: No? That what UFC has done in MMA in terms,

1499
01:13:35,080 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 1: I know there's no ALI Act in MMA, but isn't

1500
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:39,920
Speaker 1: it like we're talking about taking the UFC plan and

1501
01:13:39,920 --> 01:13:43,040
Speaker 1: bringing it to boxing. Isn't the UFC plan illegal? And

1502
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 1: how it monopolizes and.

1503
01:13:44,920 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 3: And oh well, I mean, that's definitely. I mean, so

1504
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 3: you know, a jury hasn't or a judge hasn't ruled

1505
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 3: to that effect yet, if that's what you mean. But

1506
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,120
Speaker 3: Judge Bullwear has, the judge who was in charge of

1507
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 3: the Class Act lawsuit, has absolutely been clear that they

1508
01:14:03,720 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 3: used their market power that they had acquired from their

1509
01:14:07,080 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 3: monopoly to you know, engage in I don't call it

1510
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 3: wage theft, but wage suppression among a number of other

1511
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 3: harms all related to the market. Like there's it's I mean,

1512
01:14:18,000 --> 01:14:20,920
Speaker 3: anybody who has looked at this with any kind of

1513
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 3: advanced sense of economics or understanding of the law, they

1514
01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 3: all come to pretty unanimous conclusions, which is that this

1515
01:14:29,560 --> 01:14:32,160
Speaker 3: is a monopoly and they use their monopoly power to

1516
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 3: get ahead, and they're going to try and do it

1517
01:14:34,360 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 3: in another industry. Like I mean, I've said this before, BC.

1518
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 3: I cannot believe we're at the place where it's not

1519
01:14:40,479 --> 01:14:42,519
Speaker 3: at all. I'm not guaranteeing this. It's really hard to

1520
01:14:42,560 --> 01:14:46,440
Speaker 3: guarantee something like this, but it's at least worth considering

1521
01:14:47,760 --> 01:14:50,599
Speaker 3: that in ten years you could have one promoter that

1522
01:14:50,680 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 3: does boxing, mma, jiu jitsu, slap. I suppose you know,

1523
01:14:56,040 --> 01:14:59,639
Speaker 3: and you know whatever else, like all of it comes

1524
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,679
Speaker 3: from one entity. Dude. That's like dystopian is shit.

1525
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, and that's what people want because well,

1526
01:15:06,320 --> 01:15:08,920
Speaker 1: I've really enjoyed the UFC over the years. The best fight,

1527
01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: the best. Yeah, how happy are the fighters? I mean

1528
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Let's go to Oscar dale Hoya, who, of

1529
01:15:13,439 --> 01:15:17,000
Speaker 1: course most Thursdays put out puts out his largely comedic

1530
01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:20,759
Speaker 1: Clapback Thursday video in which he takes shots at He does.

1531
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,160
Speaker 3: Not show his dong in this one.

1532
01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, no dong in this game. And we're not certainly

1533
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:28,960
Speaker 1: advocating for everything Oscar says in this video or in general.

1534
01:15:29,200 --> 01:15:31,960
Speaker 1: Oscar's a wild man. He's all over the place, but

1535
01:15:32,080 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: he's standing up for the sport. Right here. Let's watch

1536
01:15:34,720 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: your favorite time of the week again.

1537
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:39,439
Speaker 2: Time for the only segment in boxing that gives you

1538
01:15:39,479 --> 01:15:41,240
Speaker 2: the facts and makes you laugh.

1539
01:15:41,400 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 4: It's Clapback Thursdays.

1540
01:15:44,920 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 2: So it was reported last week that the TTO Group

1541
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 2: is attempting to amend the Muhammad ali Act, and the

1542
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,120
Speaker 2: writing is on the wall.

1543
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:52,080
Speaker 3: Fighters beware.

1544
01:15:52,360 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 2: The ALIAC was put into place back in two thousand

1545
01:15:55,320 --> 01:15:59,760
Speaker 2: to protect fighters by assuring them financial transparency. Contract fair

1546
01:15:59,840 --> 01:16:03,599
Speaker 2: enough protecting them from other conflicts of interest, et.

1547
01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:04,360
Speaker 1: Cetera, et cetera.

1548
01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:08,760
Speaker 2: AKA, it protects fighters from being taken advantage of them.

1549
01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 2: The fifth and now, of course, as TKO prepares to

1550
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,680
Speaker 2: enter the boxing space, the first thing they want to

1551
01:16:16,760 --> 01:16:20,559
Speaker 2: do is change this act and leave fighters vulnerable. TK

1552
01:16:20,880 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 2: needs this to change so they can implement the exact

1553
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,920
Speaker 2: same unethical business tactics in boxing strictly business that they

1554
01:16:29,080 --> 01:16:31,759
Speaker 2: used to create a monopoly with the UFC.

1555
01:16:32,160 --> 01:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Was this legal?

1556
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 2: Think about this? The UFC was sued by their own

1557
01:16:36,720 --> 01:16:41,240
Speaker 2: fighters for this unethical shit. They recently settled on a

1558
01:16:41,320 --> 01:16:45,840
Speaker 2: three hundred and seventy five million dollars antitrust lossuit absolutely

1559
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 2: fucking not, overclaims they used illegal practices to suppress fighters' wages.

1560
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: You guys are getting paid and.

1561
01:16:53,320 --> 01:16:57,599
Speaker 2: Rival promoters, their own fighters sued them over this, and

1562
01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 2: after all that, they're coming to another and trying to

1563
01:17:01,360 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 2: do the exact same fucking thing. Look always flaunting his

1564
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 2: relationship with President Donald Trump and is very clearly banking

1565
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:16,719
Speaker 2: on this getting pushed through using that connection. So to

1566
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:20,600
Speaker 2: make things easy to understand, this new league, TKO is

1567
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,320
Speaker 2: planning on paying fighters whatever they want, which will likely

1568
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:28,639
Speaker 2: be pennies on the dollar based on the existing UFC model,

1569
01:17:28,800 --> 01:17:32,280
Speaker 2: the same model that leaves their fighters in broken bodies

1570
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 2: and empty bank accounts. The latest heartbreaking example is former

1571
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:41,560
Speaker 2: UFC fighter Ben Askrim, who needed a double lung transplant

1572
01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,080
Speaker 2: and couldn't afford it, so he publicly had to ask

1573
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 2: for help.

1574
01:17:45,680 --> 01:17:48,000
Speaker 8: None of these people, like Dana or anyone stepping in.

1575
01:17:48,080 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 2: This is exactly my point. They don't give a fuck

1576
01:17:50,600 --> 01:17:51,400
Speaker 2: about boxing.

1577
01:17:52,080 --> 01:17:53,720
Speaker 1: Foolish found the name of this game.

1578
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 4: I'm not sure pism.

1579
01:17:56,160 --> 01:17:59,280
Speaker 2: Or fighters are putting their lives on the line. They

1580
01:17:59,320 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 2: care about their bottom line and their stock price.

1581
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:06,759
Speaker 4: Agreed for lack of a better word is good.

1582
01:18:07,160 --> 01:18:11,120
Speaker 2: Scumbags will always be scumbags, and every move they make

1583
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,080
Speaker 2: is so fucking predictable.

1584
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:14,040
Speaker 3: Predictable.

1585
01:18:14,320 --> 01:18:17,519
Speaker 2: The aliact is there for a good reason. I've been

1586
01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:20,240
Speaker 2: a promoter what for twenty four years now, and I've

1587
01:18:20,400 --> 01:18:24,240
Speaker 2: never wanted one change in the ALIAC because I'm about

1588
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 2: fairness and helping fighters. The fact that this is the

1589
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 2: first move they want to make in boxing tells you

1590
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 2: everything you need to know. TKO will lie and tell

1591
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:36,799
Speaker 2: you it's better for everyone.

1592
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,160
Speaker 3: It's not a lie if you believe it this way and.

1593
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 2: Distract you by saying they were changing boxing and trying

1594
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,400
Speaker 2: to unify it. They're doing the opposite. They're just fucking

1595
01:18:48,640 --> 01:18:52,519
Speaker 2: pigs with fucking lipstick. I'm telling you now, this is

1596
01:18:52,560 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 2: a warning to all fighters.

1597
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 3: Stop what you're doing and listen.

1598
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 2: There is zero reason to want to change the Muhammad

1599
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 2: aliak whatsoever, and this is a huge red flag to

1600
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 2: the entire boxing community. TKO remains tk NO. I remember, folks,

1601
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:13,400
Speaker 2: you never hated if you only speak the facts.

1602
01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,560
Speaker 1: Now, Luke, you do have to throw out the disclaimer

1603
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: that not everything he said there was one hundred percent accurate,

1604
01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:23,559
Speaker 1: including him having this great reputation of being fair. There's

1605
01:19:23,560 --> 01:19:24,679
Speaker 1: been a lot of fighters who.

1606
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 3: Have also the the bet Ascar thing seems like a

1607
01:19:26,920 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 3: little right exploit.

1608
01:19:28,320 --> 01:19:31,679
Speaker 1: I mean, really, what I'm talking about that's not fully accurate.

1609
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,320
Speaker 1: But considering he dal la Hoya has a deal with

1610
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:37,919
Speaker 1: his own which is, you know, has a huge ornaments

1611
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:42,120
Speaker 1: ownership stake with Saudi and Turkey, and he populates Turkey's

1612
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,400
Speaker 1: cards with his fighters. To see him take this stance

1613
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 1: is refreshing. Again. It's Oscar who also after Connor McGregor

1614
01:19:49,200 --> 01:19:52,360
Speaker 1: turned down a shot to box Canelo sent that letter

1615
01:19:52,479 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 1: to all boxing writers telling them to boycott Mayweather McGregor

1616
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:00,320
Speaker 1: because it was, you know, anti boxing. He's he's got

1617
01:20:00,320 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: his own sins. But this specific stance seems right on.

1618
01:20:03,920 --> 01:20:06,320
Speaker 1: It seems like a wake up call to those in boxing.

1619
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: Who knows how that will affect it? Luke, what do

1620
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:10,840
Speaker 1: you make of to close on this? What do you

1621
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:14,920
Speaker 1: make of the idea that if this passes, if as

1622
01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,960
Speaker 1: we assume up front, these boxers are gonna get paid

1623
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 1: a lot more than UFC fighters, right, Like maybe you know,

1624
01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,760
Speaker 1: in the long term, I expect UFC, especially or sorry,

1625
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:28,000
Speaker 1: I expect zoof of boxing, especially the younger fighters that

1626
01:20:28,040 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 1: they bring in, will go through their system of low

1627
01:20:30,360 --> 01:20:33,880
Speaker 1: payment and build up. But do you think once all

1628
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:37,160
Speaker 1: of these salaries get published, these purses, that there could

1629
01:20:37,240 --> 01:20:41,280
Speaker 1: be any pushback from the UFC fighter base to like no,

1630
01:20:41,640 --> 01:20:43,400
Speaker 1: so there's no hot water for them potentially in.

1631
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,479
Speaker 3: There I saw Bob Air, I'm saying that, like, oh,

1632
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 3: the UFC fighters are going to get really mad. The

1633
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 3: UFC fighters are not going to do a fucking thing.

1634
01:20:51,000 --> 01:20:55,440
Speaker 3: They will quietly shut their mouths and click their heels

1635
01:20:55,680 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 3: and do nothing like there will be and The reason

1636
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 3: why I know that is because at every opportunity and

1637
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 3: covering fighter pay in the last fifteen plus years, that

1638
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:10,160
Speaker 3: is exactly what they have done. They'll quietly complain off

1639
01:21:10,160 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 3: the record a million times to people like me or

1640
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,439
Speaker 3: any other media member. Yes, that's what they will do,

1641
01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,479
Speaker 3: but what will they do in public? In public, they

1642
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:21,120
Speaker 3: will just do exactly what they are told, because that's

1643
01:21:21,200 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 3: all they ever end up doing anyway.

1644
01:21:23,800 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: Yes, dude, But seriously, like the arrogance of TKO in

1645
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:30,040
Speaker 1: general on a lot of things they've been doing, but

1646
01:21:30,080 --> 01:21:35,120
Speaker 1: specifically this, they're really testing their own UFC fighter base

1647
01:21:35,160 --> 01:21:38,639
Speaker 1: in my opinion, Like they're blatantly doing this and saying,

1648
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 1: what are you going to do about it? What are

1649
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:41,639
Speaker 1: they going to do about it? Dude?

1650
01:21:41,680 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 3: We'll say, let's talk about that. Why if you're TKO,

1651
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 3: why wouldn't you like what evidence? I mean, just just

1652
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 3: think about what TKO is. Oh, you're getting arrogant here

1653
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:53,400
Speaker 3: and there, and they're and they're risking it. I'd make

1654
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 3: if I was a TKO, if I was if I

1655
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:57,599
Speaker 3: was an executive with them, I'd make the exact same

1656
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 3: bet they're making. I'm not messing. I would like their

1657
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 3: life in that way. But I'm saying forced to you know,

1658
01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:06,679
Speaker 3: you know it is TKO making a rational bet about

1659
01:22:06,680 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 3: what kind of resistance they'll get from their fighters. Yes,

1660
01:22:09,880 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 3: they know they won't do shit. They know it, they

1661
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:15,760
Speaker 3: absolutely know it, and they're right they won't. They won't

1662
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:16,320
Speaker 3: do a fucking thing.

1663
01:22:16,439 --> 01:22:21,600
Speaker 1: Unbelievable times. We're in unbelievable I still believe in good.

1664
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:26,120
Speaker 1: So until this thing signed and push through, I gotta

1665
01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 1: believe there's resistance out there.

1666
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:29,840
Speaker 3: I have. I have terrible news for you. It's going

1667
01:22:29,880 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 3: to pass and it's gonna be the letter of the

1668
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:37,040
Speaker 3: law for probably a long time until uh, some future

1669
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: administration maybe considers it for breakup. That's it.

1670
01:22:40,240 --> 01:22:43,760
Speaker 1: The more that you believe it's a closed case, that

1671
01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 1: it's already happened, the more you're fueling them. Look, I

1672
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: don't believe, all.

1673
01:22:49,080 --> 01:22:52,240
Speaker 3: Right, I don't think. I don't think. My it's not

1674
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:57,400
Speaker 3: even pessimism. It's just again, dude, there's no coordinated resistance.

1675
01:22:57,479 --> 01:23:00,320
Speaker 3: I know how laws get passed. If you don't have

1676
01:23:00,479 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 3: coordinated resistance, you're gonna get run over. It's just how

1677
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 3: it goes. You gotta play fucking defense. And not even

1678
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:11,000
Speaker 3: that you got to play offense. Who's doing that? Nobody

1679
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:12,439
Speaker 3: it's over, you know.

1680
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: It ain't over till it's over. You know, some people

1681
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:17,759
Speaker 1: on this show said we would never win.

1682
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 3: Those awards, look right, and we did and then we

1683
01:23:20,160 --> 01:23:23,120
Speaker 3: got nominated even when we shouldn't have. But yeah, the story.

1684
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:25,400
Speaker 1: It's probably maybe we only got them because of our

1685
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:28,600
Speaker 1: aggressive fan base. But shout out to those people just

1686
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 1: the same. Let's go to topic number four. Connor McGregor

1687
01:23:31,120 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: back in the news because he was back in court

1688
01:23:33,680 --> 01:23:37,839
Speaker 1: losing his appeal of being held liable for sexual assault

1689
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 1: in the civil Nikita hand case. McGregor wasn't even in

1690
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: attendance for this appeal after three judges unanimously ruled against him.

1691
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:49,960
Speaker 1: What happened to this case and the promise of the

1692
01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:54,400
Speaker 1: fresh evidence that was not emitted not presented to court

1693
01:23:54,439 --> 01:23:57,200
Speaker 1: after that couple turned their back, Luke? And what does

1694
01:23:57,320 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: where does that leave this case going forward? As McGregor

1695
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:03,559
Speaker 1: takes another very public l and will now have to

1696
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:07,160
Speaker 1: pay the legal fees upwards of two million for Nikita hand.

1697
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's more than that we found out today

1698
01:24:09,680 --> 01:24:12,680
Speaker 3: than Nike to hand. As you indicated, first of all,

1699
01:24:12,680 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 3: I want to be clear, but I've seen this weird

1700
01:24:14,479 --> 01:24:16,840
Speaker 3: narrative that like Connor didn't get a chance to do

1701
01:24:16,880 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 3: this or didn't get a chance to do that, and

1702
01:24:18,880 --> 01:24:23,000
Speaker 3: it's like he got every opportunity that the Irish legal

1703
01:24:23,040 --> 01:24:27,040
Speaker 3: system would provide someone in his circumstance, and he keeps

1704
01:24:27,080 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 3: getting his ass handed to him. That's not the same

1705
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,439
Speaker 3: thing as like, oh, I didn't get an opportunity versus

1706
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 3: you got a precursor opportunity that you manifestly could not

1707
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 3: qualify for, and then everything downstream after that didn't come

1708
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 3: your way. I mean, it's just so weird to me.

1709
01:24:42,840 --> 01:24:45,559
Speaker 3: It's like they keep giving him opportunities to do things

1710
01:24:46,160 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 3: and he keeps not having the ability to do it.

1711
01:24:49,200 --> 01:24:52,720
Speaker 3: This appeal is chief among them, which is, as you indicated,

1712
01:24:52,880 --> 01:24:55,799
Speaker 3: there was two basic grounds that they were arguing yesterday,

1713
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,960
Speaker 3: or at least trying to argue. One was initially going

1714
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:01,200
Speaker 3: to be Hey, So so I understand what happened, Right,

1715
01:25:01,479 --> 01:25:04,200
Speaker 3: Nikita hand goes and checks in on the night of

1716
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:06,760
Speaker 3: December eighth, or them the December ninth, whatever the day was,

1717
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 3: and she's covered according to the intake nurse at the

1718
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,000
Speaker 3: rape crisis center in the hospital facility that Nikita Hand

1719
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 3: is like absolutely covered in bruises head to toe, some

1720
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,040
Speaker 3: of the worst bruisings she said she'd ever seen in

1721
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 3: her life. And this is somebody who works in you know,

1722
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,320
Speaker 3: trauma centers, right, and so there has to be a

1723
01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 3: theory of how that got there. And Nikita Hand and

1724
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:28,200
Speaker 3: her team they alleged that Connor Brigregor sexually assaulted her

1725
01:25:28,240 --> 01:25:30,400
Speaker 3: in a hotel and that during the course of this

1726
01:25:30,720 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 3: that she was you know, physically assaulted beyond the sexual

1727
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,240
Speaker 3: assault itself, and that accounts for the bruising during the

1728
01:25:37,240 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 3: initial trial itself or the hearing I or whatever you want

1729
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 3: to call it'm' s where the proper designation is. And

1730
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 3: again it's a civil matter, not a criminal one. But

1731
01:25:44,640 --> 01:25:46,720
Speaker 3: Connor's team tried to argue that, you know, she went

1732
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:48,760
Speaker 3: on a vender and who knows how she got it, which,

1733
01:25:48,760 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 3: of course we see, yes, people who go on vendors

1734
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:54,519
Speaker 3: have like disheveled and fucked up appearances, but not the

1735
01:25:54,600 --> 01:25:58,440
Speaker 3: kind of like medically serious and very highly specific bruising

1736
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:01,519
Speaker 3: that she had. And so they basically the basic reality

1737
01:26:01,560 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 3: is that Connor's team had no theory for how she

1738
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:05,920
Speaker 3: got that. That, among other reasons, I think is why

1739
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 3: they ultimately decided with Nikey to hand. So for the appeal,

1740
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 3: it was two different grounds. One was he was initially

1741
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 3: going to have this couple who claimed to have seen

1742
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 3: or heard Nikita Han's boyfriend at the time physically assault her.

1743
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:21,679
Speaker 3: They at the very last minute with drew their evidence

1744
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:26,400
Speaker 3: to the point where now the court has referred the

1745
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:32,000
Speaker 3: matter to investigators to see if you know the laws

1746
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:36,360
Speaker 3: followed there yeah, a perjury or more potentially. And then

1747
01:26:36,360 --> 01:26:38,320
Speaker 3: on top of it, he tried to argue on procedural

1748
01:26:38,360 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 3: grounds that you know, essentially the judge in the first

1749
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:43,439
Speaker 3: case did not make it clear to the jury about

1750
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 3: whether it was assault or sexual assault in terms of

1751
01:26:45,600 --> 01:26:48,920
Speaker 3: what they were adjudicating, which all three members of this

1752
01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 3: appellate court were like, this is a ludicrous charge and

1753
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 3: they threw it out, didn't take it seriously at all.

1754
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 3: So again he was supposed to introduce fresh evidence and

1755
01:26:56,240 --> 01:26:59,840
Speaker 3: had the opportunity to do so in this appeal and

1756
01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,840
Speaker 3: could not do it. So where does it stand. As

1757
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 3: you indicated, not only does the Kedahn win this one,

1758
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 3: so now she's two and zero against him, but more

1759
01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:08,759
Speaker 3: to the point, he has to pay her legal fees,

1760
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:12,479
Speaker 3: which were two million euro But the latest update is

1761
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 3: that as of this morning, she's now suing McGregor again,

1762
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:21,280
Speaker 3: and she's suing the two people who had claimed to

1763
01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 3: have heard her been assaulted by her then boyfriend, which

1764
01:27:24,680 --> 01:27:27,439
Speaker 3: again has gone up in smoke. She's now suing all

1765
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 3: three of them for damages. And I guess part of

1766
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:32,680
Speaker 3: it might be that again I've been seen exactly what

1767
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 3: she's claiming, but I believe what she is claiming is

1768
01:27:35,960 --> 01:27:39,160
Speaker 3: partly that they're the legal process that they tried to use.

1769
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:42,440
Speaker 3: They used it in you know, in either an illegal

1770
01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,800
Speaker 3: or unethical way. I mean again, I'm not exactly sure

1771
01:27:44,800 --> 01:27:46,639
Speaker 3: how that goes, but you know that that whole thing,

1772
01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:51,280
Speaker 3: and you know she I mean, there's every reason to

1773
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:53,760
Speaker 3: believe that she will win. Like every time Connor has

1774
01:27:53,800 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 3: a chance to introduce evidence according to the core system,

1775
01:27:57,160 --> 01:28:01,000
Speaker 3: he can't or he does and it's unpersuasive, so he

1776
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 3: could appeal to the Supreme Court of Ireland or their

1777
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:07,080
Speaker 3: version of it. From what I read, most legal experts

1778
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 3: believe that it really won't happen, which means the case

1779
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:14,200
Speaker 3: is now over. But for this now Nikita hand introducing

1780
01:28:14,880 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 3: this new lawsuit to go after them for I think,

1781
01:28:17,200 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 3: you know, maliciously abusing the court system and the legal

1782
01:28:20,280 --> 01:28:23,280
Speaker 3: process to cause further trauma in a way that they

1783
01:28:23,360 --> 01:28:25,839
Speaker 3: knew to be unethical and without any you know, actual

1784
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,240
Speaker 3: evidence at any point of bad faiths, you know, attempt

1785
01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 3: to hijack the legal system.

1786
01:28:30,680 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe he can just become Irish president and

1787
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:33,919
Speaker 1: then pardon himself.

1788
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 3: Luke, I've seen yeah. I mean, this is my question

1789
01:28:36,040 --> 01:28:39,080
Speaker 3: to everybody. It's like, dude, I mean, you know, at

1790
01:28:39,080 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 3: what point are we ready to cut him loose? You

1791
01:28:41,439 --> 01:28:43,800
Speaker 3: know what I mean? And I know what the answer is, Well,

1792
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:46,000
Speaker 3: they need headliners and fans still like him, And I'm like,

1793
01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 3: first of all, why, like why he's not relevant as

1794
01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:51,920
Speaker 3: a fighter and as a person he appears to be

1795
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:56,559
Speaker 3: really close to irredeemable and more to the point, like

1796
01:28:56,640 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 3: my question is like, if you're not ready to cut

1797
01:28:58,520 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 3: him loose, how much further we talk going to be

1798
01:29:00,400 --> 01:29:04,120
Speaker 3: seen further? How much further is it? I don't know,

1799
01:29:04,280 --> 01:29:04,640
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1800
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 1: Let's let's listen to Niky hand statement to the media

1801
01:29:08,120 --> 01:29:10,439
Speaker 1: outside to put a ball on this to begin by

1802

Speaker 5: Three pomat like me over and over again.

1808
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:29,160
Speaker 1: It's force to relive it.

1809
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:32,640
Speaker 3: What happens has had a huge impact on me to

1810
01:29:32,880 --> 01:29:35,040
Speaker 3: ever survive, right, dear, I know how hard it is,

1811
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 3: but please don't be silent.

1812
01:29:37,240 --> 01:29:38,599
Speaker 4: You deserve to be heard.

1813
01:29:38,720 --> 01:29:39,960
Speaker 1: You also deserve justice.

1814
01:29:40,520 --> 01:29:42,639
Speaker 3: Today I can finally move on. I'm trying to feel

1815
01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:43,000
Speaker 3: thank you.

1816
01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 1: McGregor.

1817
01:29:45,680 --> 01:29:48,240
Speaker 4: It has it seems to be comprehensively vindicator challenge.

1818
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of hard to hear there, but she would

1819
01:29:51,080 --> 01:29:54,320
Speaker 1: say that that this uh, you know, re litigating this,

1820
01:29:54,520 --> 01:29:57,200
Speaker 1: going back into the appeal brought back the trauma you know,

1821
01:29:57,240 --> 01:29:59,720
Speaker 1: all over again for her and she's speaking out for

1822
01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:05,280
Speaker 1: other their victims. Man, yeah, oh, how the mighty have fallen?

1823
01:30:05,880 --> 01:30:08,280
Speaker 1: And you know, and people have made those same comments

1824
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:10,680
Speaker 1: like when Hogan died Olk Hogan died recently and a

1825
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 1: lot of people came out and was like, good riddance

1826
01:30:13,160 --> 01:30:15,400
Speaker 1: pos And everyone's like, is this the right reaction? And

1827
01:30:15,800 --> 01:30:18,280
Speaker 1: we all sort of have mixed feelings. We tend to

1828
01:30:18,360 --> 01:30:21,960
Speaker 1: forgive certain people or they evolve over time, like Mike

1829
01:30:22,040 --> 01:30:24,839
Speaker 1: Tyson and we I don't know, like it is interesting

1830
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 1: how from one to the other we have certain reactions.

1831
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,120
Speaker 1: But Connor has been on such a negative run for

1832
01:30:31,360 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 1: so long that it's like, damn, I mean, outside of

1833
01:30:34,840 --> 01:30:38,000
Speaker 1: like being a pretty good, out of control, drugged up

1834
01:30:38,040 --> 01:30:41,640
Speaker 1: promoter with BKFC, what has he added lately, Luke, what

1835
01:30:41,760 --> 01:30:44,600
Speaker 1: is he doing positively? It's it's pretty rough, it is

1836
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 1: it is, you know, if not vert on the verge

1837
01:30:47,160 --> 01:30:49,639
Speaker 1: of or already long past the type of go home

1838
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,559
Speaker 1: heat where it's like I just don't want to see

1839
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:52,320
Speaker 1: him around anymore.

1840
01:30:52,479 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 3: But I just think it just makes mm A look

1841
01:30:56,000 --> 01:30:58,439
Speaker 3: bad when they can't say goodbye to guys like this.

1842
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:00,800
Speaker 1: You know, well, he's not going way. He's back in

1843
01:31:00,880 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 1: the pool, he's training again, meeting the drug test pool,

1844
01:31:03,880 --> 01:31:05,639
Speaker 1: and you know, if it's up to him, he's gonna

1845
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:07,200
Speaker 1: be fighting on the White House lawn, Luke.

1846
01:31:07,200 --> 01:31:09,439
Speaker 3: And if it's up he's probably right. I just think

1847
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 3: that the community, it's like, I don't really know, I

1848
01:31:12,280 --> 01:31:14,960
Speaker 3: genuinely mean this, I don't know what you're holding onto anymore.

1849
01:31:15,800 --> 01:31:20,160
Speaker 3: He's both not good and also bad. Like what what

1850
01:31:20,600 --> 01:31:22,599
Speaker 3: you know? What's the appeal?

1851
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? That is interesting? That was Topic number four. Will

1852
01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 1: close this week with a fun Luke and Thomas inspired

1853
01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:32,560
Speaker 1: topic that I had a lot of difficulty with. I

1854
01:31:32,640 --> 01:31:34,960
Speaker 1: think that speaks a lot of who I am lately, Luke.

1855
01:31:35,040 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 1: But here it is. It's not fit Friday, not rip

1856
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:42,080
Speaker 1: it Friday. It's free style Friday. Right because you know,

1857
01:31:42,280 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: we ain't got shit to do right now. So Luke,

1858
01:31:44,520 --> 01:31:47,960
Speaker 1: why don't you start tell us one thing going on

1859
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:51,560
Speaker 1: in your life right now that's important to you and

1860
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,400
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with combat sports.

1861
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:59,040
Speaker 3: So let's put up the graphic or not the thing

1862
01:31:59,120 --> 01:32:01,160
Speaker 3: I sent you along Island. Here it is. Los Angeles

1863
01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:03,800
Speaker 3: no longer ranks as worse US city for traffic, and

1864
01:32:03,840 --> 01:32:08,320
Speaker 3: if you look below, Washington, d C. Has overtaken Los

1865
01:32:08,360 --> 01:32:11,400
Speaker 3: Angeles as the US city with the worst traffic in

1866
01:32:11,560 --> 01:32:14,240
Speaker 3: annual rankings from Consumer Affairs. Now. I don't know what

1867
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:16,760
Speaker 3: the Department of Highway Transportation and Safety would say, it's

1868
01:32:16,760 --> 01:32:20,920
Speaker 3: something like that, but dude, driving in the city is

1869
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:23,680
Speaker 3: terrible now. It's like it's always been bad, but it's

1870
01:32:23,800 --> 01:32:26,120
Speaker 3: really really, really, really bad, to the point where It's

1871
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:30,000
Speaker 3: like genuinely fucking up my mental health because to get

1872
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 3: across town for a doctor's appointment or you know, to

1873
01:32:32,840 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 3: go to the grocery store or anything. You know. Again,

1874
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:37,760
Speaker 3: I could go to the I can go to the

1875
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:39,599
Speaker 3: dentist by day. I just take the Metro. But if

1876
01:32:39,600 --> 01:32:41,120
Speaker 3: I got to take groceries, I need you know what

1877
01:32:41,120 --> 01:32:43,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I just can't. I can't walk it. I need.

1878
01:32:43,920 --> 01:32:45,960
Speaker 3: I need to get a car, so I can, you know,

1879
01:32:46,080 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 3: load it up. I gotta feed a family, so BC,

1880
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 3: I made a choice. I made a choice this weekend.

1881
01:32:54,840 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 3: Assuming I don't die of complications related to you know,

1882
01:32:58,680 --> 01:33:01,280
Speaker 3: this communicable disease that I have. Uh, I'm gonna go

1883
01:33:01,360 --> 01:33:04,280
Speaker 3: get an e bike. I'm gonna make that. Yeah, I'm

1884
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:06,080
Speaker 3: gonna make that leap, and I'm gonna use my e

1885
01:33:06,240 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 3: bike to get around town for my mental freaking sanity.

1886
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 1: Are you gonna wear like boys shorts while you e

1887
01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:14,200
Speaker 1: bike around?

1888
01:33:14,280 --> 01:33:18,000
Speaker 3: Luke, I'm gonna wear dad shorts, cargo shorts, beef jerky,

1889
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:21,280
Speaker 3: you know, sandals. I don't have sandals, but you know,

1890
01:33:21,360 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna give a fuck. But dude, I can't

1891
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:23,559
Speaker 3: take it anymore.

1892
01:33:24,680 --> 01:33:28,680
Speaker 1: In La La Is just like, it's just unbelievable. I mean,

1893
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:30,920
Speaker 1: so South Florida, that's some really bad traffic too.

1894
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:34,160
Speaker 3: Now Florida has surprisingly bad traffic, but dude, like, even

1895
01:33:34,200 --> 01:33:36,880
Speaker 3: from getting from here to my kids school, my house

1896
01:33:36,960 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 3: in my kids school is a mile away, and if

1897
01:33:39,920 --> 01:33:43,720
Speaker 3: you don't play it right, there are three different bottlenecks

1898
01:33:43,760 --> 01:33:47,000
Speaker 3: you'll run into and it drives me nuts. In the morning,

1899
01:33:47,080 --> 01:33:48,480
Speaker 3: I can't do it anymore.

1900
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:52,240
Speaker 1: Drives me nuts, right, yeah, yeah, yeah.

1901
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:55,040
Speaker 3: So anyway, I'm gonna I'm gonna get an e bike

1902
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:57,080
Speaker 3: this weekend, and I'm pretty excited about it.

1903
01:33:57,479 --> 01:33:59,599
Speaker 1: All right, all right, Luke. I had a big problem

1904
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 1: with this because it made me really look in the

1905
01:34:01,560 --> 01:34:04,560
Speaker 1: mirror and say that outside of combat sports and my

1906
01:34:05,160 --> 01:34:09,920
Speaker 1: ambitious lust for boxing broadcasting, I've really painted myself into

1907
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:12,760
Speaker 1: a corner no pun intended, due to my painting side

1908
01:34:12,800 --> 01:34:15,800
Speaker 1: hobby of really being all about the job in the

1909
01:34:15,920 --> 01:34:18,439
Speaker 1: fight game and nothing else. Lately, it's actually a topic

1910
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:22,120
Speaker 1: of conversation between my wife and I, leading me to like, man,

1911
01:34:22,160 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: I need more hobbies in life. I need to live

1912
01:34:24,400 --> 01:34:27,640
Speaker 1: my life more, not just the professional life I do

1913
01:34:27,800 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: in podcasting or in calling fights and writing and all

1914
01:34:31,520 --> 01:34:34,000
Speaker 1: of that, So I actually had some trouble with this.

1915
01:34:34,200 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: But one thing I've been thrown around for a while

1916
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:38,960
Speaker 1: is the idea of really going all in on my

1917
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: music passions and creating a music podcast, potentially even with

1918
01:34:42,200 --> 01:34:44,360
Speaker 1: Aaron Brons that are as my co host. So I'm

1919
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:48,200
Speaker 1: certainly exploring that possibility and potential right now. And I

1920
01:34:48,280 --> 01:34:50,479
Speaker 1: got to say, this summer has been with my kids

1921
01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:52,280
Speaker 1: on the verge, my twin sons on the verge of

1922
01:34:52,320 --> 01:34:55,599
Speaker 1: their senior year in high school, coming up the college

1923
01:34:55,760 --> 01:34:59,280
Speaker 1: tour scene, this summer has been I'm having way more

1924
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: fun than they, Luke, because you already know I was

1925
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:08,040
Speaker 1: a community college and commuter for your school dropout, I

1926
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,840
Speaker 1: never got to actually live that experience. I'm pulling over

1927
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:13,920
Speaker 1: all these tour guides and being like, what's the party?

1928
01:35:13,960 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: Seemed like I need details. I need information, all right.

1929
01:35:16,560 --> 01:35:18,800
Speaker 1: I need to know if my kids are gonna thrive

1930
01:35:18,840 --> 01:35:19,479
Speaker 1: here in all the world.

1931
01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:22,440
Speaker 3: We know they're sending out amber alerts after you leave campuses.

1932
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:24,840
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is I mean, like, dude, like I

1933
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:26,960
Speaker 1: used to go party at Yukon in the nineties, back

1934
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: when that was the kind of school that like, you

1935
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:31,320
Speaker 1: only went to because you had to. I had no

1936
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:33,800
Speaker 1: ideal until I went on the tour that because all

1937
01:35:33,840 --> 01:35:36,599
Speaker 1: those basketball championships, that place has become like a world

1938
01:35:36,680 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: class university where it's like incredibly hard to get into

1939
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:42,880
Speaker 1: and there's like new buildings everywhere. I was like, dude,

1940
01:35:42,920 --> 01:35:44,880
Speaker 1: I'd go here in a heartbeat. In fact, if my

1941
01:35:44,960 --> 01:35:46,800
Speaker 1: family was willing to allow me, I'd get a dorm

1942
01:35:46,880 --> 01:35:48,920
Speaker 1: room and finish off my degree here, Luke and live

1943
01:35:48,960 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 1: it up. You know what I'm saying. And probably I

1944
01:35:50,960 --> 01:35:56,760
Speaker 1: just didn't handcuffs. You're right, probably, Okay, Yeah, I mean

1945
01:35:56,800 --> 01:35:58,679
Speaker 1: it turned awkward. Are we going to stay in this ditch?

1946
01:35:58,760 --> 01:36:00,639
Speaker 1: Or we're going to pull ourselves out? That's the question

1947
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:02,760
Speaker 1: Long Island. Look, why don't we bring you in here

1972
01:37:08,240 --> 01:37:09,639
Speaker 1: podcast is on fire. Am I wrong?

1973
01:37:10,120 --> 01:37:12,679
Speaker 3: It's doing much better than I expected. I can certainly

1974
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:13,000
Speaker 3: say that.

1975
01:37:13,600 --> 01:37:16,080
Speaker 1: All right, All right, okay, I'm you know what I'm

1976
01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,439
Speaker 1: thinking of doing because my kids have inspired me with

1977
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:21,840
Speaker 1: their incredible success in cross country and track. And you know,

1978
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:25,000
Speaker 1: Loki porn I did run cross country in high school.

1979
01:37:25,000 --> 01:37:27,560
Speaker 1: It's not forget this. I'm thinking about getting back in

1980
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:29,559
Speaker 1: aggressively the distance running all.

1981
01:37:29,560 --> 01:37:31,960

Speaker 1: Porn, No, I only do things all or nothing in

1983
01:37:36,280 --> 01:37:39,479

1984
01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:40,640
Speaker 1: lack of a balance, and.

1985
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,000

Speaker 3: you know what I mean?

1998
01:38:15,040 --> 01:38:18,879

01:38:18,960 --> 01:38:22,680
Speaker 1: and Turko takes over all of combat. I'm gonna need

Speaker 1: each other. It's gonna be.

2004
01:38:28,880 --> 01:38:29,400
Speaker 4: Wild, you know.

Speaker 1: Luke your birthdays around the corner there, we'll be back there.

2008
01:38:43,760 --> 01:38:47,080
Speaker 3: Is also partly why I'm doing the e bike because

2009
01:38:47,120 --> 01:38:48,719
Speaker 3: my wife was like, you know what am I supposed

2010
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:50,040
Speaker 3: to get you for your birthday? And she would never

2011
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 3: buy me like an e bike because you know, they're

2012
01:38:51,920 --> 01:38:53,960
Speaker 3: a little on the expensive side. So I told her,

2013
01:38:54,080 --> 01:38:55,560
Speaker 3: just you know, whatever you were gonna buy, save it,

2014
01:38:55,720 --> 01:38:57,439
Speaker 3: throw it towards that and I'll pay for the rest.

2015
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 3: But it's all related to my birthday. Actually, excellent.

2016
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:04,160
Speaker 1: I just bought for my birthday. I bought myself new

2017
01:39:04,200 --> 01:39:07,720
Speaker 1: headphones for my record player and a new damping weight

2018
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:10,880
Speaker 1: for my record player to keep those skips and scratches down.

2019
01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,080
Speaker 3: Luke way that shit, I don't have a record player.

2020
01:39:13,160 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 3: I need one.

2021
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:17,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you're I'm going all or nothing.

2022
01:39:17,560 --> 01:39:19,000
Speaker 1: If you're gonna go all in, then go all in.

2023
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 1: But I feel like you would buy a record player,

2024
01:39:20,680 --> 01:39:22,599
Speaker 1: put it on yourself, and then never use it ever.

2025
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:26,719
Speaker 3: Gleg like that takeout food yes, yes, yes.

2026
01:39:26,720 --> 01:39:29,120
Speaker 1: Yes, there we go all right time. Those are our

2027
01:39:29,200 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 1: five topics for this week. Thank you for playing. Now

2028
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:35,360
Speaker 1: we will close with two fan inspired segments, and remember,

2029
01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:37,519
Speaker 1: if you want to reach this show, it's below. It's

2030
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:40,760
Speaker 1: Morning Coombat at gmail dot com. Mikey's on the other

2031
01:39:40,880 --> 01:39:43,800
Speaker 1: end of that porthole. Tell him portal, tell him that

2032
01:39:43,920 --> 01:39:46,680
Speaker 1: you said hi. Do not show him pictures of your

2033
01:39:46,880 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: nether regions. Here we kick off with uh getting on

2034
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:54,000
Speaker 1: the stand so to speak. We speak into a microphone.

2035
01:39:54,040 --> 01:39:57,879
Speaker 1: Often sometimes we say the wrong thing, whether it was offensive,

2036
01:39:57,960 --> 01:40:01,240
Speaker 1: incorrect or just playing stu upid. That gives you the

2037
01:40:01,360 --> 01:40:04,160
Speaker 1: chance to tell us we was dead.

2038
01:40:04,000 --> 01:40:06,800
Speaker 3: Wrong, dead wrong.

2039
01:40:11,600 --> 01:40:13,599
Speaker 1: All right, Here we go dead wrong. First one from

2040
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:21,799
Speaker 1: Antoni Antoni says Oi Oi donks Gomez. Here is Antoni Gomez, longtime,

2041
01:40:21,880 --> 01:40:25,160
Speaker 1: first time writing in from the Highlands of Scotland. Hey.

2042
01:40:26,439 --> 01:40:28,760
Speaker 1: At one hour and forty seven minutes of Monday show.

2043
01:40:28,840 --> 01:40:31,559
Speaker 1: Luke showed his ignorance when it comes to Europe when

2044
01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:35,320
Speaker 1: describing the toilet situation. He first said we don't use

2045
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:38,519
Speaker 1: urinal cakes there, and then he said we put our

2046
01:40:38,600 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: toilet paper in a trash can. As a Spanish Hungarian

2047
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 1: British person who has lived in a few places in Europe,

2048
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:46,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you that's dead wrong. We have plenty

2049
01:40:46,920 --> 01:40:48,759
Speaker 1: of urninal cakes here and the only place in Europe

2050
01:40:48,760 --> 01:40:51,400
Speaker 1: I've seen toilet paper in a trash can was Greece.

2051
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 1: But I've seen it in plenty of places outside Europe,

2052
01:40:53,880 --> 01:40:56,679
Speaker 1: including North Africa and Southeastern Asian.

2053
01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 3: It literally happened in Portugal. There was multiple signs and

2054
01:41:00,080 --> 01:41:03,320
Speaker 3: multiple locations. This person is absolutely I would go and

2055
01:41:03,520 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 3: bet on my fucking daughter, my house and my mom's existence. Sir,

2056
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:10,960
Speaker 3: you're so fucking wrong. It's painful to me. Okay.

2057
01:41:11,080 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 1: His name is Gomez, and he says you can do it.

2058
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 1: Gomez says, Google tells me it's pretty common in South

2059
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 1: America too. I expected more from such a credential, from

2060
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:23,240
Speaker 1: such a credential toilet wrecker as yourself. That's also see

2061
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 1: the cake Lady do a urinal cake video just for

2062
01:41:26,439 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 1: Luke Real soon muchos abrazos de vuestro collega upolod.

2063
01:41:33,000 --> 01:41:37,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, big hugs. He's wrong. You're just flatly wrong, sir.

2064
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:38,840
Speaker 3: I mean I had to do it in Turkey, I

2065
01:41:38,920 --> 01:41:40,160
Speaker 3: had to do it in Greece.

2066
01:41:40,000 --> 01:41:42,240
Speaker 1: And yeah, but Turkey's more Asia than Europe.

2067
01:41:42,320 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 3: Right, it's in both Turkeys, it is in both Asia

2068
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:49,439
Speaker 3: and Europe. It actually splits between them. Uh uh, it's

2069
01:41:49,479 --> 01:41:51,400
Speaker 3: not every part of Portugal was like that, That's not

2070
01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:54,360
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. But there absolutely were parts where it

2071
01:41:54,479 --> 01:41:56,760
Speaker 3: was clearly mandated you had to do that. And also

2072
01:41:57,280 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 3: the urinal cake thing. Guys, do you I mean I

2073
01:41:59,400 --> 01:42:03,320
Speaker 3: I do you think we are blind? Like? Do you

2074
01:42:03,400 --> 01:42:05,320
Speaker 3: think we just don't notice these things?

2075
01:42:05,800 --> 01:42:05,920
Speaker 1: Oh?

2076
01:42:06,400 --> 01:42:08,479
Speaker 3: Have you been to a place in Europe that had

2077
01:42:08,520 --> 01:42:14,360
Speaker 3: a urinal cake? Yes, but they are clearly, clearly much

2078
01:42:14,479 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 3: less common. It's just not nearly as common. You've got

2079
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:20,800
Speaker 3: way more flies, and y'all put piss on top of

2080
01:42:20,880 --> 01:42:23,320
Speaker 3: piss on top of piss. We have more of the

2081
01:42:23,400 --> 01:42:25,720
Speaker 3: decency to have a urinal cake, which probably fucks up

2082
01:42:25,720 --> 01:42:28,320
Speaker 3: the water supply system. I don't know. But either way,

2083
01:42:28,680 --> 01:42:31,840
Speaker 3: when you're there BC, it's better to have a urinal cake,

2084
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:33,280
Speaker 3: is it not? It's just it is.

2085
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:35,320
Speaker 1: But why are we debating this? Like who cans?

2086
01:42:35,920 --> 01:42:37,880
Speaker 3: Is the Europeans being like, Oh, it's not that way,

2087
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,680
Speaker 3: Shut the fuck up. Yes it is. I've been to

2088
01:42:40,760 --> 01:42:45,160
Speaker 3: Europe fifty times. I'm telling you it's common. It's common.

2089
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:47,080
Speaker 3: It's common. Not everywhere.

2090
01:42:48,240 --> 01:42:50,439
Speaker 1: You better travel the globemar to get on Luke's level.

2091
01:42:50,800 --> 01:42:52,479
Speaker 3: You also right about South America. You will see it

2092
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:52,800

2104

01:43:37,439 --> 01:43:40,639
Speaker 1: pulling the shop here. You're talking about uh, you're talking

2109
01:43:40,640 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 1: to me.

2110
01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:43,400
Speaker 4: I remember this in real time. You meant to say,

2111
01:43:43,479 --> 01:43:45,719
Speaker 4: Amir Ali Akbari bari.

2112
01:43:45,880 --> 01:43:47,880
Speaker 3: That's he did in his last one fight.

2113
01:43:48,080 --> 01:43:51,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, all right, this wasn't like Pantosia knocked out mahachav. Right,

2114
01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:52,600
Speaker 1: there's one watching like.

2115
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:53,720
Speaker 3: I don't think it's quite like that.

2116
01:43:54,160 --> 01:43:57,160
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, mister C was just to say, oh, look,

2117
01:43:57,200 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: go for two to start the show.

2118
01:43:58,560 --> 01:44:00,960
Speaker 3: According to the no no, no, no, one for two,

2119
01:44:01,280 --> 01:44:01,880
Speaker 3: one for two.

2120
01:44:02,800 --> 01:44:04,800
Speaker 1: We got two more of these dead wrongs here, Sam,

2121
01:44:05,400 --> 01:44:08,280
Speaker 1: he says, Hi, guys or maybe she who knows. On

2122
01:44:08,400 --> 01:44:11,560
Speaker 1: Monday's July twenty ninth show, Luke made two big mistakes

2123
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:14,000
Speaker 1: with regards to names. At the beginning of the show,

2124
01:44:14,320 --> 01:44:18,680
Speaker 1: he called Daniel Dubois Diego Dubois, and towards the end

2125
01:44:19,080 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: he referenced you Bank versus Ben as Bank and you Ben.

2126
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,679
Speaker 1: If these were Spanish names and BC had gotten them wrong,

2127
01:44:28,880 --> 01:44:31,920
Speaker 1: Luke's Espanol arm would have sounded and he would have

2128
01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:33,519
Speaker 1: gone Third World on him.

2129
01:44:33,760 --> 01:44:39,639
Speaker 3: Okay, I got some ct issues apparently, yes, Bob.

2130
01:44:39,680 --> 01:44:42,360
Speaker 1: But Luke, what Sam would say? I think you should

2131
01:44:42,360 --> 01:44:46,120
Speaker 1: put some respect on the gringo names. You washed, watermelon, vaping,

2132

Speaker 1: yellow mustard eating, front yard lifting, stand up wiping, Joe BRONI, wow.

Speaker 3: the trash can.

2136
01:44:56,840 --> 01:45:00,680
Speaker 1: But it's these people coming for you, well deserved, by

2137
01:45:00,720 --> 01:45:00,960
Speaker 1: the way.

2138
01:45:01,200 --> 01:45:04,120
Speaker 3: Calling Daniel Dubois diego Dublas is like a very Daniel

2139
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:05,040
Speaker 3: Dubois thing to do.

2140
01:45:05,280 --> 01:45:07,800
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I don't. I guess I didn't hear these

2141
01:45:07,840 --> 01:45:09,960
Speaker 1: in real time. Here's the thing lately, everyone in my

2142
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,759
Speaker 1: life's telling me I don't listen or remember anything.

2143
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 3: I get the same accusation. So we're probably in the

2144
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:17,040
Speaker 3: same boat.

2145
01:45:17,280 --> 01:45:19,400
Speaker 1: I think there's too much concern in my head. I

2146
01:45:19,439 --> 01:45:22,720
Speaker 1: gotta pay for college. Tr Ko is trying to take over.

2147
01:45:22,880 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 1: I don't have any hobbies, you know what I'm saying.

2148
01:45:25,160 --> 01:45:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, midlife crisis, buddy.

2149
01:45:27,760 --> 01:45:30,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I've been there. I am there. Let's go

2150
01:45:30,560 --> 01:45:33,519
Speaker 1: to Patrick, he says. On Monday July fourteenth, BC's room

2151
01:45:33,560 --> 01:45:39,320
Speaker 1: Temperature IQ was on full display Derek Lewis's accusation that

2152
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:44,040
Speaker 1: Tieshero was talking shit in Brazilian. However, Brazilian speak put

2153
01:45:44,120 --> 01:45:47,120
Speaker 1: you get yeah, always thanks for the great content and

2154
01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 1: go fuck yourselves. It's Patrick.

2155
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:49,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

2156
01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,400
Speaker 1: Yes, I do understand that they speak Portuguese.

2157
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:52,880
Speaker 3: Yes.

2158
01:45:53,080 --> 01:45:55,719
Speaker 1: By the way, in my town growing up, Naugata, Connecticut,

2159
01:45:55,760 --> 01:45:58,879
Speaker 1: which had is a very not as big as Danbury, Connecticut,

2160
01:45:58,880 --> 01:46:02,680
Speaker 1: but a very large Portuguese influence, they hated Brazilians, the

2161
01:46:02,760 --> 01:46:04,400
Speaker 1: Portuguese in my town growing up.

2162
01:46:05,960 --> 01:46:08,040
Speaker 3: There are a lot of Brazilians in Portugal, which you

2163
01:46:08,040 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 3: could well imagine everyone seemed to get along. But I

2164
01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 3: don't know, brother, the Portuguese that you grew up with,

2165
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,680
Speaker 3: I gotta tell you, they seemed to make I don't

2166
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:18,760
Speaker 3: know if they left Portugal or they got kicked out,

2167
01:46:18,880 --> 01:46:21,680
Speaker 3: because they don't remind me of anything that I saw there.

2168
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:28,599
Speaker 3: The Portuguese were friendly, smart, calm, sophisticated friendly. I mean

2169
01:46:29,280 --> 01:46:31,479
Speaker 3: everything you're telling me they were is the opposite of that.

2170
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:34,680
Speaker 1: All right, That's what that was my experience. But I

2171
01:46:34,720 --> 01:46:36,920
Speaker 1: also grew up in a durable factory town, so I

2172
01:46:36,960 --> 01:46:40,280
Speaker 1: think they were also affected by that just the same.

2173
01:46:40,360 --> 01:46:42,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like I always say it, but it's true.

2174
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,840
Speaker 1: Do you know how many highly connected people like town

2175
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 1: officials in my town were that shit crazy when I

2176
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:53,040
Speaker 1: was growing up. Just you know, talk about something in

2177
01:46:53,120 --> 01:46:56,960
Speaker 1: the water, Luke. They literally pumped chemicals into the Naugatuck

2178
01:46:57,080 --> 01:46:59,120
Speaker 1: river that goes through the center of my hometown for

2179
01:46:59,280 --> 01:47:01,720
Speaker 1: like three days aids in a row. You're damn right,

2180
01:47:01,840 --> 01:47:04,080
Speaker 1: we grew up looking at the world a little differently.

2181
01:47:04,160 --> 01:47:04,880
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

2182
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:06,479
Speaker 3: You have aids.

2183
01:47:08,439 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: All right, Let's go over to our final segment. That's

2184
01:47:10,880 --> 01:47:13,760
Speaker 1: where you send in your artwork or pictures of Saoul's

2185
01:47:13,800 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 1: wife wearing MK clothes. Hey, this one's called fans emissions.

Speaker 1: Speaking of the one and only saoul A of Louisville.

2188
01:47:26,880 --> 01:47:29,519
Speaker 1: He's hair and he says, on a random Tuesday, my

2189
01:47:29,640 --> 01:47:32,639
Speaker 1: wife asked, would you rather take me to the movies

2190
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:36,160
Speaker 1: or a show? You know I love live music, Bee,

2191
01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:38,679
Speaker 1: So the wife and I went to see Sugar Ray

2192
01:47:39,080 --> 01:47:42,639
Speaker 1: and Bare Naked Ladies at an amphitheater. It was awesome.

2193
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,280
Speaker 1: You could just feel the effort they put into the show.

2194
01:47:45,680 --> 01:47:48,640
Speaker 1: Brought me back to a much simpler time, all the

2195
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 1: while rocking the best merch around MK. All Frickin' day. Wow, dude, Sooul.

2196
01:47:57,880 --> 01:47:59,240
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, I love the fact that

2197
01:47:59,320 --> 01:48:01,240
Speaker 1: he takes us with them wherever he goes in life

2198
01:48:01,280 --> 01:48:04,280
Speaker 1: and keeps showing us here on fan subs. But this

2199
01:48:04,680 --> 01:48:07,160
Speaker 1: mf Or Luke lives for this brand.

2200
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,519
Speaker 3: Bro As somebody who lived through the nineties, it is

2201
01:48:11,800 --> 01:48:14,479
Speaker 3: mind blowing to me to watch the people of the

2202
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:19,320
Speaker 3: earth today treat the nineties as like a hollowed moment

2203
01:48:19,439 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 3: to be remembered when let me assure you, everyone during

2204
01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 3: the nineties was ready to get the fuck out of

2205
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 3: the nineties as soon as they could.

2206
01:48:27,720 --> 01:48:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it wasn't as lame as the eighties in

2207
01:48:29,880 --> 01:48:31,400
Speaker 1: some regarded I mean the eighties was.

2208
01:48:31,600 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 3: The eighties were treated with more reverence. I'm sorry. They

2209
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:34,960
Speaker 3: were well.

2210
01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:38,639
Speaker 1: Because we had more money, everybody was happy, Reaganomics, all

2211
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:43,040
Speaker 1: of that. But the nineties were more scattered, and I mean,

2212
01:48:43,200 --> 01:48:48,240
Speaker 1: like the whole idea of like melancholy and the infinite sadness,

2213
01:48:48,360 --> 01:48:50,960
Speaker 1: like that's what we endured day to day. Luke, it

2214
01:48:51,040 --> 01:48:56,920
Speaker 1: was a rough time in that regard, but the music rocked, Brot.

2215
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,320
Speaker 3: We didn't know how good we had it. But yes,

2216
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:02,519
Speaker 3: the music's wife knows how good they have it. Now.

2217
01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:04,439
Speaker 1: Shout out to that concert scene. I mean, are you

2218
01:49:04,560 --> 01:49:08,120
Speaker 1: ready to maybe consider we get some soul mercher No,

2219
01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:13,720
Speaker 1: that's too far. Fuck no, all right, so we'll up

2220
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 1: standing up for you. Thank you, brother, if you can

2221
01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:17,800
Speaker 1: come clean my gutters too and fix them, that'd be

2222
01:49:17,840 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 1: great because there there, when it rains, it's just like leaking.

2223
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:21,720
Speaker 3: Through it something else.

2224
01:49:22,520 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, that's unacceptable right there. Our next fan sub

2225
01:49:26,479 --> 01:49:29,320
Speaker 1: comes from Christian. He says, hey, MK, I am lucky

2226
01:49:29,400 --> 01:49:31,479
Speaker 1: that I live only a couple of minutes from the

2227
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:36,479
Speaker 1: franz Halls franz Halls Museum in Harlem. He was one

2228
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:40,679
Speaker 1: of the most groundbreaking painters from the Dutch Golden Age.

2229
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 1: What puzzles me though, is why and how did he

2230
01:49:44,120 --> 01:49:49,519
Speaker 1: manage to paint BC? Did BC find the flux capacitor Looke?

2231
01:49:49,600 --> 01:49:50,400
Speaker 1: That don't look like me?

2232
01:49:52,920 --> 01:49:56,080
Speaker 3: Um, it mostly doesn't. I could sort of see what

2233
01:49:56,160 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 3: they're getting at, but you definitely don't look like Dutch

2234
01:49:59,520 --> 01:50:01,519
Speaker 3: aristotleocracy I can I can say that.

2235
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:04,240

01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 1: I mean that was it art? Was it art? Luke?

2238
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:10,439
Speaker 1: You'll have to ask the females that were trapped, you

2239
01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,360
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. Yeah, it's really weird, all right.

Speaker 3: But that is.

2315
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:30,959
Speaker 1: But since Reggie Jackson my cat is known as mister October,

2316
01:53:31,439 --> 01:53:36,080
Speaker 1: this is a mister October with Reggie wearing number forty

2317
01:53:36,120 --> 01:53:39,960
Speaker 1: four in Reggie Jackson's Yankees uniform. Dude, that is amazing

2318
01:53:40,080 --> 01:53:41,360
Speaker 1: and I want that on a T shirt.

2319
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:44,600
Speaker 3: You can wear that while you hawk to Bredakamoto.

2320
01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:48,439
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, I'd go back to Yankee Stadium and

2321
01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:51,679

2322
01:53:51,720 --> 01:53:54,240
Speaker 1: outside the back door that time right before I walked

2323
01:53:54,280 --> 01:53:56,920
Speaker 1: in eight consecutive glizzies. By the way, I try I

2324
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:58,880
Speaker 1: do that with a Reggie Jackson shirt on. You gotta

2325
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:02,160

2326
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:06,559
Speaker 1: I saw Luke's new sponsorship the other day in DT Vancouver.

2327
01:54:07,040 --> 01:54:07,519
Speaker 4: Is this real?

01:54:09,080 --> 01:54:09,679

01:54:27,520 --> 01:54:31,000
Speaker 3: is it vape bow isers or isn't it vape boor isers?

2335
01:54:31,080 --> 01:54:34,240

2336
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:37,520
Speaker 1: disposable vapes. Dude, we got it. You got to become

2337
01:54:37,560 --> 01:54:38,480
Speaker 1: the pitchman for them.

2338
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:40,280
Speaker 3: I might have to assue them just to get some

2339
01:54:40,400 --> 01:54:42,600
Speaker 3: money for using my likeness.

2340
01:54:42,600 --> 01:54:44,840
Speaker 1: Or just get product from them. I mean, you know,

2341
01:54:44,960 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: that's not bad.

2342
01:54:45,600 --> 01:54:47,480
Speaker 4: I I don't know if the logo is real, but

2343
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:49,520

Speaker 1: thank you very very much, Luke. This wasn't quite quite

2372
01:56:23,320 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 1: the flu game, but similar to that time when you

2373
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:31,320
Speaker 1: spent the night at Bacis Hospital in Norwich, Connecticut almost

2374
01:56:31,520 --> 01:56:34,320
Speaker 1: dying with Matt Snyder and I there in attendance, and

2375
01:56:34,480 --> 01:56:36,880
Speaker 1: then showed up the next day to do that Bellatore

2376
01:56:37,400 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: interview roulette that we had that was Jordan flu game.

2377
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:43,760
Speaker 1: Like today, you just had a couple dongs in your throat.

2378
01:56:43,760 --> 01:56:45,440
Speaker 1: You had to clear it out. Maybe gargle a little

2379
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 1: bit back.

2380
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:49,760
Speaker 3: It was the Charlo doubleheader pay per view, was it?

2381
01:56:51,160 --> 01:56:52,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was that interview show we did the

2382
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:53,280
Speaker 1: next day.

2383
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:55,360
Speaker 3: No, I remember thinking like, oh my god, I have

2384
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:57,280
Speaker 3: to go to the hospital the night before my big

2385
01:56:57,400 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 3: break in boxing. I remember thinking like, you're a fuckingdi at, Luke.

2386
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:00,600
Speaker 3: You know.

2387
01:57:01,240 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 1: Oh, all right, well, I take that back. Okay. We

2388
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 1: we had some fun times in that Belotore bubble, did

2389
01:57:06,200 --> 01:57:06,360
Speaker 1: we not?

2390
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:11,240
Speaker 3: We did? We did. Connecticut sucks and Mohegan sun is.

2391
01:57:11,640 --> 01:57:13,520
Speaker 1: It's all right, it's all right, but that side of

2392
01:57:13,560 --> 01:57:15,400
Speaker 1: the state blows. Nobody goes there for any reason.

2393
01:57:15,480 --> 01:57:15,680
Speaker 4: Luke.

2394
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:17,720
Speaker 3: I'm not sure which side of the state is great, but.

2395
01:57:18,600 --> 01:57:20,520
Speaker 1: You've never been to my side of the state. There's

2396
01:57:20,560 --> 01:57:23,920
Speaker 1: the Connecticut River splits the state. On the west side

2397
01:57:24,040 --> 01:57:26,320
Speaker 1: is where it's happening. On the right side is h

2398
01:57:27,240 --> 01:57:29,560
Speaker 1: It's only people only go there for the casino. It's

2399
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:31,400
Speaker 1: called the quiet corner of the state. No one goes

2400
01:57:31,440 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 1: there at all ever.

2401
01:57:32,920 --> 01:57:35,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, also me, I also won't go there, you know

2402
01:57:35,360 --> 01:57:35,760
Speaker 3: what I'm saying.

2403
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's where you went that time. Remember we

2404
01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:40,520
Speaker 1: went to that weird Belator interview show in the basement

2405
01:57:40,560 --> 01:57:41,600
Speaker 1: of like that Motel six.

2406
01:57:41,680 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 3: That was weird. It was cool because the whole floor

2407
01:57:43,440 --> 01:57:44,680
Speaker 3: smelled like pool chlorine.

2408
01:57:45,360 --> 01:57:47,680
Speaker 1: That was the show where I was drinking water and

2409
01:57:47,840 --> 01:57:51,440
Speaker 1: spit it all over myself over some ridiculous joke. All right,

2410
01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 1: thank you folks for watching today. We will be back
