1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: The only thing I was gonna say was that you

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: missed in terms of analysis whatever it is worth, was

3
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: that the overall card was fine. Right between the main

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: card and the prelium card, it was fine. It wasn't spectacular.

5
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Your main event was not especially competitive, although I had

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 1: a good finish. Your co Maine was not all that competitive,

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: and it did go long. There were some gems on

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: the prelium card and some interesting moments, you know, interspersed throughout,

9
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 1: but it was not like some you know, Ruckus affair.

10
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,800
Speaker 1: And it didn't suck either. It was just sort of fine,

11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: which I think is about what you could say for

12
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 1: it heading into it. It's based on how it looked

13
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: on paper. We'll get to some of the pieces there.

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: We're not gonna go to every fight. We'll look at

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: the main card, and then a couple of the news

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 1: and notes from the prelim card. Just for today, we'll

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: go for about thirty minutes or so. I apologize for

18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: the opening. Jesus Christ. I am tired and old and washed,

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: and I can't believe anyone is watching. But if you

20
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,840
Speaker 1: still are, I will try to make it worth your while.

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: All right, now, let's begin. So UFC two to fifty

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,320
Speaker 1: five in the books. Again, if you don't want spoilers,

23
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: now's the time to go. Took the place at the

24
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: UFC Apex facility. Devison Figuredo defeating Alex Perez. He does

25
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: it via guillotine choke at one fifty seven of the

26
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: very first round. What can we say about it? As

27
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: I mentioned, not especially competitive. I thought Perez had a

28
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,520
Speaker 1: decent I mean, it was hard to really get a

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: clear sense of the game plan given that he didn't

30
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of time to let us see it.

31
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: You heard that in the interview with the post fight

32
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: interview with Joe Rogan and Devison Figuredo that that switching

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: that stand so we didn't offer the lead leg to

34
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: Perez to kick, was a big part of it. And

35
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: the way the whole fight ended was you had Perez

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: trying to go for what's called a tree top takedown,

37
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: where you take the leg and then you underhook it

38
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: and you can put it actually on your shoulder.

39
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: You can do a lot of things with it.

40
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: You kind of want to hold it high because it's,

41
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, something of a crotch ripper where it can

42
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 1: off balance them. You saw him hopping up and down,

43
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: and he was trying to take him out, and you

44
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: saw Perez try to kick out the post leg while

45
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: holding another one up in the air, and he couldn't

46
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,359
Speaker 1: quite do it. Then Figuredo goes for this essentially this

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: way to sort of sit into heel hook. I'm not

48
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: sure what position of Ashigarami he went to inside or outside.

49
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 1: I'd have to go back and look. I didn't quite tell,

50
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: but he gives up on the It was actually, you know,

51
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 1: it might have been inside ashy. I have to double check.

52
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: It looked similar to what Jack Harmanson used on Kelvin Gastlin,

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: and that was inside Ashy. Whatever the case, we can

54
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,119
Speaker 1: go back and look later. But it didn't matter because

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 1: he basically gave it up. He didn't really have it.

56
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: And so you saw Perez come around the front rather

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: than try to spin around the back as he does.

58
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: There's a scramble, and in the scramble you see Figuredo

59
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: go into turtle, which means he has sort of crouched

60
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: here facing the mat and someone could take his back.

61
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 1: I mean, there were an openings underneath here to do it.

62
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 1: But he was not like in guard, you know, facing

63
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: the ceiling. He was facing the mat kind of turtled,

64
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: and you saw Perez try to come to the side

65
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: there to get a hold of it. As he does,

66
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,519
Speaker 1: you see Figuredo like do the option pass where he's

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: coming around the side like this and then scoops the

68
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: the choke, the guillotine choke from there. At that point

69
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Perez has to go to this side to block it.

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: If the head is here, the body has to go

71
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: to the other side. But at that point Figuredo's a

72
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: already there and be expecting it because that's his setup.

73
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: He essentially rolled into it backwards like that and essentially

74
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: locked up the guillotine there. And they were noting that

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: the guillotine was kind of high, and it was. The

76
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 1: guillotine was kind of high. You could see, you know,

77
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: a clear patch of hair on the back of Perez,

78
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: his head sticking out in ways that you don't commonly

79
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: do in mm A. A lot of times we will

80
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,440
Speaker 1: see as we will fold the head, you know, into

81
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: the chest almost and the back of the bicep will sit.

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I got a water bottle here, but the back of

83
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: the bicep will I can't really show it will sit

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: like this, and so it'll cover everything right this is

85
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: someone's sort of head and neck, it'll just sit on

86
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: top as they as they begin to squeeze, and he

87
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: didn't really see that this time. The head was looked

88
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,799
Speaker 1: like it might have popped out for a second, especially

89
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: as Perez was kind of sitting up and you know,

90
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: you're thinking maybe he was gonna get out of it.

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,159
Speaker 1: He'd obviously FIGUREDO probably has a tremendous squeeze and a

92
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 1: very good guillotine. I was just gonna say Jeff Glover

93
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: was one of these guys you don't know who he was.

94
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 1: Jeff Glover is sort of famous in jiu jitsu for

95
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. One, he was a very good competitor,

96
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: but two he sort of comically was one of these

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: guys who would do the donkey guard, which is where

98
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: you basically like stick your ass at someone. But in

99
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: all actuality was actually a very very good competitor for

100
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: a time. He competed in metamoros I think, and uh

101
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: and you know who won some major titles in jiu jitsu.

102
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: He had one of these guillotines where he even talked

103
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: about it, where he would actually almost prefer it to

104
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: be sitting on the crown of the.

105
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: Head rather than the back of it.

106
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: I candidly don't know those details all that well to

107
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 1: tell you why it works better than others. It's a

108
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: little bit above my pay grade. But all I mean

109
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: to say is I've seen really high level guillotine guys

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: who have a have a have a kind of finishing

111
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: scenario where it's, you know, it looks like, oh, they're

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:31,920
Speaker 1: about to get out, but they're not. It just sort

113
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 1: of looks that way. And he got He gets it

114
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: at one fifty seven of the very first round. So

115
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: it's a nice win. I don't know what lesson to

116
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: infer from it, to be quite honest with you, like,

117
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: did anyone expect the fight? I mean you could say

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: you could say you would expect it to go differently.

119
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 1: Maybe you would have thought of going to the second

120
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: or third. Maybe you would have thought Perez would have

121
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: done one or two things differently. It's not like I

122
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: had a clear sense of exactly how the fight would go.

123
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: You knew Garedo had good jiu jitsu. You knew he

124
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: was a big power puncher. You knew he was physical

125
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 1: and strong for the weight classes. I think you saw

126
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 1: a lot of that, you know, in every kind of

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,039
Speaker 1: way in which they tangled up. You know, Perez was game,

128
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: trying to again mention taking the takedown to him, pushing

129
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: against the fence, tried to treetop him right, he was

130
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 1: getting after it, but the technical difference was hard for

131
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: Perez to handle. And then when you get to the

132
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: physical differences between them, I mean, that's just way too much.

133
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: Of a bridge to cross.

134
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: So I don't know exactly how I thought it was

135
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: going to go, but then when it ended, you're not

136
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: surprised at all. So it's kind of hard to know

137
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 1: what to make of it, except to say I think

138
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: he's clearly your best flyweight Devison Figaredo. I mean that

139
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: was pretty clear before this, but this is a friendly

140
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 1: reminder that.

141
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 2: That is true.

142
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if it will pull Henry Sehudo out

143
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 1: of retirement and in to face him. I would love

144
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: to see it. I think Figaredo is a legitimate challenge

145
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 1: for Suhudo. I think that'd be a really fun fight.

146
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 1: And it does appear that Figuredo has finally figured out

147
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: the weight cutting scenarios and challenges that were something of

148
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: an issue for him before. He looked I mean, he

149
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: looked like he didn't have an ounce of weight left

150
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: to give.

151
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 2: Like you know, when you can see the.

152
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: Entire detail of a pectoral muscle that's almost like kind

153
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: of flat where you can see people think there's two

154
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: parts of the package.

155
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: Actually a third lower part.

156
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: You can see it on him, I mean in his

157
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: back has like zero fat on it. When you're that low,

158
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:40,119
Speaker 1: you know, your margin of error in terms of getting

159
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: that cut right is very very small. But he did it.

160
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: He did it, He made it work. He made it

161
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: work really well. So the challenge, I thought, though. The

162
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: one thing I guess I thought Perez might do was

163
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: he looked at hit his numbers, and I know him

164
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: one in combat. We thought he would make a stronger

165
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: account of himself. But I guess what it's all over,

166
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: You're like, well, you know, what other way was it

167
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: going to go? But the one thing I think I

168
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: did say on Friday was that I thought Perez had

169
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: have a really high work rate. And if you could

170
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 1: make figuredo work, and you could find a way to

171
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 1: stay out of trouble and drag this late, then that

172
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: might be one of the sort of things you do

173
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: better than him. You have a very heavy, labor intensive

174
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: style and for a guy who has a very difficult cut,

175
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 1: that might be something where you could really exploit. But

176
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 1: we never even got close to doing that, so that's

177
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: out the window. It's going to be hard to make

178
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,720
Speaker 1: him work because he is tricky to lock up with,

179
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,199
Speaker 1: as you can see when you're coming in behind guillotines

180
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: backwards like that from the position. I mean, this is

181
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 1: a common way to snatch it, but rolling from turtle

182
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 1: and then into it and over it, that is not

183
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: not unheard of, but certainly certainly sneaky, certainly sneaky. And

184
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: then you know his ability to finish from there is

185
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: going to be really really high as well. So I'm

186
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 1: not really sure what to say beyond that he is

187
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: he is special. Let me see, let me see what

188
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,880
Speaker 1: the numbers from fight Metric are, if they're at all

189
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: finished at this point. And again, I'm just terribly embarrassed

190
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: by the way that started. You know, I'm just washed.

191
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 1: I'm washed and sad.

192
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? All right?

193
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: So here's what the preliminary numbers are from fight Metric.

194
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, there's not much of them. Five significant strikes

195
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: for Figaredo, six for Perez. Let's see takedown attempts too

196
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 1: attempted for Perez, but Figuredo gets credited with a pass

197
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: and that's it. I mean, there's nothing, there's there's nothing

198
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 1: really in the numbers to be all that interesting. Figuredo

199
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: forty percent targeting to the head, sixty to the body,

200
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 1: and that was it. One hundred percent took place at distance. Yeah,

201
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 1: there's really not a I mean, there's not a lot

202
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: to say. There's not a lot to say about this one.

203
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how soon he'll get back out there.

204
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: This was not an especially arduous contest. I'm sure his

205
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: training is he probably this is not a guy who

206
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: can take a fight on short notice.

207
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: I realize he's the champion, But what I mean to say.

208
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 1: Is if the UFC was like, hey, we need to

209
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: move your fight, you know, can you accommodate it three

210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 1: weeks earlier, I don't think he's got that leeway. He

211
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 1: probably needs that three weeks to do roadwork and get

212
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: his weight down in the way that he has been.

213
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: So that's where we are with that. It was a

214
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: nice clinical win, man, It's a nice clinical win. The

215
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 1: guy has control from the back, he has incredible entries.

216
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: He'll take risks with it in ways that you haven't

217
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:41,720
Speaker 1: seen before, right, sort of swooping in that way to

218
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,600
Speaker 1: find Ashley Garami the way that he did again didn't

219
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: even get close to finishing from there, but that you

220
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: can threaten in that way is pretty interesting as well.

221
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: Let me look at the rankings at Flyway now. He

222
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: said he wanted Brandon Moreno, who also had a nice win,

223
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: which we'll get to a little bit later, that he

224
00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 1: should be next, and he should be next, and Brandon Moreno,

225
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: I think give him a tougher fight. But here's who

226
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: else is on that list. Benavidez is still sitting at one,

227
00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: because the rankings people have no idea what they're doing.

228
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Moreno's also at one, ascar Askarov is sitting at three,

229
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: Perez is sitting at four, Pantoja at five, Rouville who

230
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: lost to Night at six, Kai kar Franz seven, and

231
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 1: then on and on from there. And then, of course,

232
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: if you look at who Figuredo has beaten already, he

233
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: has a win, two wins over Benavidez, then Elliott, Pantoja,

234
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: he has the loss of four Mega all the way

235
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: back in twenty nineteen, and then it wins over Maraga Morales,

236
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 1: Jared Brooks and Marco Marco Beltron, So there are some

237
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: other interesting fights available to him, you know, if Moreno's

238
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: the most interesting one after that, it's not entirely clear

239
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: which direction they would go Askarov. I guess, but I'm

240
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 1: not sure what his situation is. And then from there

241
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: you'd have to go to Rouval, but he lost, so

242
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: they're really the only answer even could be at this

243
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: point is Brandon Moreno, and I suspect that fight will

244
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: be a little bit more competitive, but even then, it's

245
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: like Moreno, you know, it's you have to find you

246
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,240
Speaker 1: have to thread this needle between like physically making him

247
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: make different decisions, but then also staying out of his

248
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: big power and not locking up with him. So I

249
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 1: mean staying off the fence, clinch breaking, circling, angling the

250
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: whole nine yards so that he can't get his hands

251
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 1: on you.

252
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 2: It's a very hard needle to thread, man. You know.

253
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: It's one thing to be like, oh, I don't want

254
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: to strike with this guy and just take him down,

255
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: but that's not really an option for most people against Figuredo, right,

256
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: because he's not just good from guard. He'll stand, he'll

257
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 1: arm drag you and then take the back or you know,

258
00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,319
Speaker 1: he's got probably all different kinds of stuff he can

259
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: do from underneath to reverse position, to take you away

260
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 1: from it.

261
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 2: He's he's a nightmare.

262
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: He's a handful, and then when he gets into a

263
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: dominant position, he's a clinical finisher, physically so strong. You

264
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: know that that went about how I guess it should

265
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: have gone, Not so much necessarily how all me and

266
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: Brian thought it would, but but about how it should

267
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: have gone. I suspect in the end, all right, not

268
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: sure what else to say about that. We'll probably have

269
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: more to say about it on Monday. To me, the

270
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: more interesting thing to talk about, even though the fight

271
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: itself was not very good, is the COVID event. Let

272
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: me pull up the results to make sure I get

273
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 1: them here accurately. Valentina Chevchenko remains champion, defeating Jennifer Maya

274
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 1: forty nine forty six across the board, which is how

275
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: I scored it.

276
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 2: I think I gave Maya the second round.

277
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: And here's what I mean. This fight was, like the

278
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 1: commentary tonight was not great. If we could be honest,

279
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: I think that each individual commentator and Annik who is

280
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: played by play or Rogan or DC.

281
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 2: They're all good.

282
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: I don't know that that's the right pairing because what

283
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: you end up getting is you end up getting it,

284
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,800
Speaker 1: and this may be what you want, but it ends

285
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 1: up sounding to me more like a fight companion podcast

286
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 1: that it does the actual calling of the fights. It's

287
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 1: a little too chummy for me. I like it better when, Frankly,

288
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:10,800
Speaker 1: I like it a little bit better when Cruz and

289
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 1: Rogan are sort of at odds or Cruise in DC

290
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 1: or sort of at odds, like there's a little bit

291
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: of balance between them, you know, because the commentary gets

292
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 1: distracted and I just don't feel like they focus in

293
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: on the things that they're supposed to because they're having

294
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 1: a good time. Like I understand that who's against having

295
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: a good time. I'm just saying. There was a lot

296
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: made of how well Maya had done, and in the end,

297
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 1: she didn't do all that well. She far exceeded expectation, right.

298
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: She submits Joanne Calderwood to basically take her position that

299
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: she was in for this opportunity anyway, and then she

300
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: was like, you know, they were talking about how crazy

301
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: Schecheko is in terms of about talented, and you know,

302
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: look at these odds at this fight and all the

303
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: other fights, you know, minus fourteen hundred, minus one thousand,

304
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: blah blah blah, whatever with the numbers were, and so

305
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 1: you thought, oh, Maya's going to go in there and

306
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: get creamed. And what you ended up seeing was one

307
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: Maya took the second round, but she didn't win any

308
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: of the other rounds. But you got a Chefchenko that

309
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: was very careful in many ways early, quite hesitant, who

310
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: was looking for the takedown, looking for top control. And

311
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: so I think people are like, wow, Maya did a

312
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: lot better than we thought she would, which that part

313
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: is true. Relative to how everyone said she would do,

314
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: she did much better. But like relative to any kind

315
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 1: of objective standard of how competitive was this about, not especially,

316
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: And part of the reason why it was not competitive

317
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: is really, or I should say, well, not competitive, it

318
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: was competitive. Here's what I mean to say. Sorry, I'm

319
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: getting a little bit lost, but what I mean to

320
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: say is it was competitive in the sense that each

321
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: moment was not necessarily filled with overwhelming dominance. And part

322
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: of the reason why that was true is neither fighter

323
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: was really taking a lot of risks. Now, as the

324
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 1: war on and I have to look at the numbers.

325
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: Schevchenko found a home for that check right hook, the

326
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: left straight and sort of the left overhand. Really found

327
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: the mark a lot, especially late. But on the ground,

328
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: this is what really kind of bugged me, And let

329
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: me explain what I mean. On the ground, if you're

330
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: in if you're chest to chest on somebody, there's very

331
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: limited things you can do. You can do some stuff,

332
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: but not necessarily a whole lot.

333
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 2: Okay.

334
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: For example, if you are in someone's full guard and

335
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 1: you want to pass, there are passes you can do

336
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: from the knees. It is, it is quite doable. But

337
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: in general, if you want to pass and you're in

338
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: someone's full guard, you got to get on your feet.

339
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what I'm telling you here is not controversial.

340
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: There's a lot of people who know a lot more

341
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: than me who I don't think would really disagree with that. Again,

342
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: there are passes on your knees, to be very clear,

343
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: you can do it, but if you're really interest in passing,

344
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: especially when you're in like the fourth or fifth round

345
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: of a fight, you gotta get on your feet a

346
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 1: little bit. And they didn't even attempt it. They would

347
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 1: get top control and then just hold it. And I

348
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: understand that. I understand that. Right, it's major stakes. You

349
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: gotta fight smart. But that doesn't mean I have to

350
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 1: say that the fight was especially interesting. I don't have

351
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: to say that the fight was especially fun. It wasn't

352
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: a disaster, but it wasn't very fun and neither took

353
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: a ton of risk. And Chevchenki even talked about like

354
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: I was even glad to fight win five rounds because

355
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 1: I needed the time after such a long layoff. Get

356
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: I get it, I get the game. I understand it.

357
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: I'm not like, I'm not arguing to you Schevchenko should

358
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: have done more. I'm just reviewing the fact and saying

359
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: she didn't do much on the ground. Neither did Maya.

360
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: She had that one sort of arm bar attempt or

361
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: triangle attempt offer her back. Maya had a Maya was

362
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 1: really good actually about underhooking here better. There was this

363
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: time when she was underneath and she had an underhook

364
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: and she just stood inside control, Folks, inside control. If

365
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 1: you can control this space, any other person has to

366
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: control the outer space. It doesn't mean that the person

367
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,960
Speaker 1: who's controlling the outside space and not the inside space

368
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: has nothing but inside control is significantly more important than

369
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 1: outside control significantly, and so she was much better along

370
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 1: the fence line and underneath getting that underhook to stand.

371
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,640
Speaker 1: But I just mean to say there was long stretches

372
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 1: of the fight. In the second round, Mile would be

373
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: on top, or in the other case, Chefchenko would be

374
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: on top and it would just coast, And the coast

375
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: is a strong word. They were content to hold it

376
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: there and then see what they could get. You know,

377
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: you go back and look at the Chukegian fight, you know,

378
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 1: or whichever one it was.

379
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: You know, she was moving to crucifix.

380
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: Chevchenko was right, She's really kind of getting after it.

381
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:50,959
Speaker 1: It was none of that here. And again I get it,

382
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: major stakes coming back from injury, blah blah blah. You

383
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: gotta fight the way you gotta fight to get the

384
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 1: W right. You got to at some point if it

385
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 1: it's so dominant and they're still not doing much, I

386
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:04,639
Speaker 1: think then you can have a conversation about it. Like

387
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: there was a point I think in Saint Pierre's career

388
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: where people are like, oh, what you really object to is,

389
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: you know, you just don't understand the ground game, and

390
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: it's boring and it's like, well, are you think it's boring?

391
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: It's like, well, sort of, but maybe if you were

392
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:24,560
Speaker 1: watching Saint Pierre in his prime and you watch the

393
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 1: Dan Hardy fight, it was not clear to me why

394
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,760
Speaker 1: he wasn't doing more ground and pound. There was just

395
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: long stretches where it was like, Dan's not going to

396
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 1: be able to get up from this. And so because

397
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 1: he's not going to be able to get up from this,

398
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 1: and he did not appear to be a real threat

399
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 1: from guard, why aren't you doing more to pound on him?

400
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 1: Because you can go back and look and be like, oh, well,

401
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: Saint Pierre was trying to pass in certain ways, and

402
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: you know there's a couple of submissions that got close

403
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: and Dan really thought out of him and he did.

404
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:55,160
Speaker 1: Dan showed unbelievable not really flexibility, but you know, total

405
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: grit in not surrendering all of it. True, But just

406
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: think about this logic. You are this senior in your career,

407
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 1: this is a style you've been using at that point

408
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 1: for quite a while. You have an opponent underneath who

409
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: you know, you know you don't want to take them lightly,

410
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: but did not appear to be any kind of real

411
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 1: significant guard threat. And was not really capable of getting

412
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 1: back to his feet, and you're not opening up with

413
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 1: the ground pot at that point, I think you can

414
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 1: make a conversation about it and at least have an argument

415
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: and say he's probably more he could have done. I'm

416
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: not quite ready to put Chefchenko in that territory yet,

417
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 1: especially since she was coming back from injury. But I'm

418
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 1: not going to say it was like yay fight, you know,

419
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 1: it wasn't. It wasn't that. The one thing I will

420
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: say that I thought was really impressive again, I thought

421
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: Maya did a really good job of underhooking, you know,

422
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:40,959
Speaker 1: and that was true against the fence line. That was

423
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 1: she had a one reversal of a takedown. I think

424
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: as a consequence of it, she was able to stand

425
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: underneath from it at least one time. You know, that's

426
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 1: a really important skill to have, and she was. She

427
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 1: was actually, I think better of the two at least

428
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: in this fight. Chefchenko though, you know, those body locked takedowns.

429
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: I didn't have the commentary uh turned up very high,

430
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: but I heard people are I saw people complaining on

431
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,199
Speaker 1: Twitter that like they were surprised she was doing it,

432
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: or maybe they were suggesting it was new. I did

433
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: not hear that part. Suffice to say, though, that it's

434
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: something she has shown an affinity towards in a clear, consistent,

435
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: you know, desire to and and in fact that she

436
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: has implemented it. Those body lock takedowns. She'll spin one

437
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,800
Speaker 1: way and then she'll spin the other, and it's usually

438
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,680
Speaker 1: once she turns to the second direction that she's able

439
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: to get them off their feet.

440
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 2: And she and by the way, she knows she'll leave.

441
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: Her feet when she does it, so when she comes down,

442
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: she crashes on top of them, which is a truly

443
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 1: horrific and awful feeling. So I guess we're gonna get

444
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,360
Speaker 1: For terms of what's next for her, I guess we're

445
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,919
Speaker 1: gonna get Chevchenko Onrodge, which does not seem like the

446
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 1: worst fight ever. Actually seems like it's a great fight,

447
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: to be quite candid with you, that should be a

448
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 1: ton of fun, big differential on the feet, but maybe

449
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: not as much as there once was, And certainly with Androge.

450
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: You know, there's not a lot of room for air

451
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: when you're playing around with that, So keep that in mind.

452
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:21,880
Speaker 1: Now let's pull back up. Here are the results, Okay,

453
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:27,440
Speaker 1: So nice win by Chevchenko got the job done, retains

454
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: her title. I think she has six title fights now

455
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: in UFC five, so her next one will be six,

456
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:34,879
Speaker 1: which will put her in a three way tie with

457
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: her Rousey and I think Yo Wanna and I think

458
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: the man in Newness has the record with eight. So

459
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: she's you know, creeping up on that, which is really

460
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: interesting again dominant in the sense that by the time

461
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: you were really tallying everything up, it was more than

462
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 1: clear who won. Chevchenko I think a little bit hesitant,

463
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: maybe more so than she needed to be. The other

464
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: factor here was that it was in that small cage.

465
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: I wonder to what extent that played a role, you know,

466
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 1: because she usually likes to she likes to Chefchaeco will

467
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 1: bear down on you, but she doesn't mind angling off

468
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: or backing up. But in that small cage you have

469
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:09,959
Speaker 1: a really tight window in which you can do that.

470
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: So I wonder if she was a little bit hesitant

471
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 1: in that regard. I don't know the answer to that,

472
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: but it's something worth thinking about. But you know, the

473
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 1: people who were the champions retained their titles in what

474
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: I can call fairly non controversial ways, right Well, actually,

475
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:30,480
Speaker 1: I should say, not at all controversial, but largely expected,

476
00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: not totally, not totally, but largely expected. We moved down

477
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,480
Speaker 1: the car Tim Means defeating Mike Perry one thirty seven.

478
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: Eight's the issue with the twenty nine to twenty eight

479
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 1: versus the thirty twenty seven is how you scored the first.

480
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: Mike Perry had the back of Tim Means for some time.

481
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: It was a pretty close issh on chokes. I mean,

482
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: he was making him work for it in terms of

483
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: the defense of it, but ultimately obviously did not get it,

484
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: and then you know, got lit up on the feet

485
00:23:58,720 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: a little bit.

486
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 2: In the intervening space. Second to third round's easiest call ever.

487
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 2: It was all Tim Means.

488
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,120
Speaker 1: Mike Perry man, I just don't know what to say

489
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: about the guy. This matchup, to me was really interesting

490
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: because people overstate excuse me, I should say, people don't

491
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 1: give Perry enough credit for his technical abilities, and Tim

492
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: Means probably gets looked over a little bit in terms

493
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: of what he can offer physically, Like there's probably more

494
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: to the story there, right, But what this fight was

495
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 1: really about is Mike Perry has a lot of the

496
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: physical advantages and gifts that Tim Means does not, and

497
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 1: Tim Means has a lot of technical mastery that Mike

498
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 1: Perry does not.

499
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 2: That's why I've made.

500
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: It for an interesting and interesting fight. And you know,

501
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: Mike Perry just didn't really have any He had the

502
00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: takedown of the first round, which was nice. He kind

503
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 1: of he man that he's strong as shit, Mike Perry,

504
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: my god, and then he took the back nicely. I think,

505
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's many ways or he showed some real

506
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 1: ability there. But then once Means got out of it

507
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: and they were back on the feet, and then he

508
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: could stuff. And then you know, when he was stuffing,

509
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: he was very good about circling off and you know,

510
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: getting ways off the cage, and he was just sort of,

511
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,360
Speaker 1: you know, even when they get pressed, he was much

512
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,159
Speaker 1: better about defending that space. And so now you're just

513
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: on the feet with the guy. And if he wanted

514
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 1: to accommodate Mike, he did a couple of times in

515
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: sort of standing in front of him in trading, but

516
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: when he didn't want to, and he just wanted to

517
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 1: pop and move. I mean, he was lighting Mike up

518
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: all day. And the problem that is you're looking at Mike

519
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: and you're like, what was the second gear that Mike had.

520
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 1: He didn't have one, you know. And it's not because

521
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: I think Mike is some dumb guy. I know he

522
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: does a lot of like, you know, indefensible shit in public,

523
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: and you know, I think that makes people think a

524
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: certain thing about him. I actually don't think the two

525
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:49,520
Speaker 1: are necessarily related.

526
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't.

527
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a mark of his intelligence.

528
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: I think it's more just a mark of his upbringing,

529
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: because he's quite physically capable of doing this, and you

530
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: see these flashes of like, you know, thinking through the

531
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: problems and you're like, wow, there's something here, and then

532
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: it just relentlessly disappoints you in terms of what you

533
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 1: think is there and what he ends up showing you.

534
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: Not all the time, he's had some great wins, but

535
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: in this time it was definitely true. Now, I don't

536
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 1: know that he was going to beat Tim means no

537
00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 1: matter what. But Mike appears to have an issue with

538
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,919
Speaker 1: structure in his life. And maybe he's got some with

539
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,679
Speaker 1: his new significant other who is carrying his child. That

540
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: would be nice, but I don't know how much that

541
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: really means anything for his professional ambitions, and in his

542
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 1: professional world, things appear to me to be getting less

543
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 1: and less structured from what we can tell you, I

544
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: do not feel like he is progressing at the rate

545
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: that he should be, given the amount of time he's

546
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 1: been spending in the UFC. And it's very frustrating because

547
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: when you have the ability to take punishment like he does,

548
00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: when you have his God given power and the strength

549
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 1: that he does, and he clearly is not optimally reasoning

550
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: through fights in a way that better instruction and better

551
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: struck sure by the camp and a coach and a

552
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: weight cut and blah blah blah.

553
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 2: Could give him.

554
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: It's just it's frustrating to watch people leave that kind

555
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: of stuff on the table. I mean, Tim Means, whatever

556
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: he succeeds at, whatever he fails at, you feel like,

557
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, he gave it the old college try, you know,

558
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: and he's actually developed into be To me, I mean,

559
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,600
Speaker 1: there's you know, I've never heard I've never brought up

560
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: Tim Means's name in the company of fighters outside of

561
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: anyone who fought him or something, you know, totally like

562
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: you know, neutral observers, and I've heard only good things

563
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,399
Speaker 1: from him. I Mean, this dude has the respect of

564
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 1: fighters you know, like to quite quite clearly, no one.

565
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: You can't look at Tim Means and be like, well,

566
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: you know, he's not this, He's not that. Yeah, I mean, yeah,

567
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:58,719
Speaker 1: he's not Joel Romero or something. But that dude is

568
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: so technically saund everywhere has fought you know, the best

569
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: fighters that he could given the opportunity and the wins

570
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: or the lost streaks he was on at the time,

571
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,840
Speaker 1: and you know, he's put his time in the game,

572
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:16,040
Speaker 1: and you know, Tim Means is hugely respected, you know.

573
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: I mean, whatever Tim does in the end, you feel

574
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: like he tried. You know, I just don't feel like

575
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 1: you're getting that out of Mic. And I don't know

576
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: his life. This is just a guess, you know. And

577
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:31,479
Speaker 1: if I don't know what the reasons are, it's kind

578
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: of it's impossible for I mean, I'd be way too

579
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: much speculating to say from Afar on Friday Show. I

580
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: thought that maybe he was profiting from his relationship in

581
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 1: a way with his significant other that was, you know,

582
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: putting his mind elsewhere and not necessarily in a bad way,

583
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: like maybe even in a healthy way, but it wasn't

584
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: keeping him focused on his ambitions and and maybe the

585
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: drive for some of those ambitions had gone. You know,

586
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 1: even now, I'm not sure how true that is. But

587
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: the problem is the first the first thing that I

588
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 1: would have to get fixed is you've got to get

589
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:06,719
Speaker 1: some structure. He needs structure or not or you know,

590
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 1: this is or this is just what it will be.

591
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: But like, unless he adopts best practices and not all

592
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: of them, you take, you know, the general universe of

593
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 1: best practices, you take the majority of them, and you know,

594
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 1: tinker with him and make your own. But we're not

595
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 1: even talking about that. If if he doesn't do that,

596
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 1: then this is all it's gonna be. You know, it's

597
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,800
Speaker 1: just gonna be. You can beat guys who probably don't

598
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: belong in UFC. You might, you know, catch some other

599
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: ones along the way, but it's not gonna be what

600
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: it could not even close. And it's a little frustrating.

601
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: It's a little frustrating as somebody to watch. But you know,

602
00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 1: I'm not his dad, I'm not his friend. Doesn't matter

603
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: what I say, doesn't matter what any of us think.

604
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 1: He's gonna do what he wants to do. It's just

605
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: frustrating to watch. And so he was getting jabbed up

606
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 1: man over and over, and Tim Means was pulk countering

607
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: and popping and then angling off. And there was a

608
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:04,320
Speaker 1: couple of times when he got pushed up against the

609
00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:06,920
Speaker 1: fence or he was just playing his feet in trade,

610
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: and you could see his head was getting rocked worse

611
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: than he was rocking the head of Mike Perry. But

612
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: by the time the fight was over, Mike's face was

613
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: a mess. He was bleeding in a bunch of different places.

614
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: His eye was all swollen shit, you know, because Tim

615
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,400
Speaker 1: maybe not doesn't hit his hard, but he hit him

616
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 1: way more. What are the numbers on this actually, should

617
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,200
Speaker 1: look this up. What are the numbers on what Tim

618
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,160
Speaker 1: did with fight metric?

619
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: Let's see old dirty bird.

620
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, dude, listen to this number. Mike Perry

621
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 1: landed sixty four significant strikes in a sub forty percent clip. Okay,

622
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: fucking Tim Means landed one hundred and twenty eight literally

623
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: double literally double sixty six percent in terms of significant

624
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: strike percentage.

625
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just crazy.

626
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: Mike Perry got one out of five takedowns, you know,

627
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: and they credited him with two sub attempts, which is nice.

628
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: You know, he did look good in that first round. Yeah, man, And.

629
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: There's some people are like, oh, let him be you know,

630
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,360
Speaker 1: you know, people were overstating how good he could be.

631
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I just don't believe that. But you may

632
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,360
Speaker 1: end up being right that this is all he ever

633
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: ends up being, because without structure or some way to

634
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: round the corner beyond what this is currently is, this

635
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: is all it's ever gonna be. And so really it's

636
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: up to him to decide what he would want.

637
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 2: Uh.

638
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 1: Caitlyn chukeg and defeating Cynthia cal I'm gonna say cal

639
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: Vio just because whenever I pronounce it in an alternate

640
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 1: but equally correct way, people lose their fucking mind. Anyway,

641
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: Caitlyn defeats Cynthia thirty twenty seven across the board. This

642
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,280
Speaker 1: one did surprise me. This one surprised me. Here's what

643
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 1: I don't get about Cynthia. She did better in the

644
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 1: first round than I thought she was getting credit for

645
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 1: with the commentary team. Of course, at the end of

646
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,080
Speaker 1: the world, I did think Kaitlyn was doing the better work,

647
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: but I thought early Cynthia was landing more than was

648
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 1: being recognized.

649
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: As the fight war on.

650
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: Although the worst moments in the third round, but as

651
00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: the fight war on, it was pretty clear that she

652
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 1: was just a step behind, or maybe a couple of

653
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: steps behind. This is what I don't get. It's like,

654
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 1: I understand rounding out your striking game for the purpose's

655
00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 1: well roundedness, and so you're not reliant on certain things,

656
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: and so you can you know, if you really want

657
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 1: to ascend the ladder, unless you're number got made of,

658
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: you really need to work on the overall threats that

659
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 1: your game can pose. Fine, but at this point, I

660
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 1: think it's worth reevaluating how to structure that because to me,

661
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: she has always looked much more dynamic and threatening and

662
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: interesting and like calculating and even just when she's playing

663
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 1: off instinct, much better as a grappler than a striker,

664
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: much better. And you could still work on striking to

665
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: facilitate that, because the big issue here was her ability

666
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,480
Speaker 1: to close the distance to get the takedown. To me,

667
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: it's like there should be a refocus there. I it's

668
00:33:15,800 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: like your striking has definitely gotten way better than it

669
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: once was, no doubt about it. Since your day's at

670
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 1: the cheesecake factory, you're a much better striker. Okay to

671
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: what end. I mean, look at her resume, right, what

672
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: are her best wins from? So she came in and

673
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:35,760
Speaker 1: UFC two oh nine, she beat Amanda Cooper and Pearl Gonzale,

674
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: she submitted him both. Then she'd beat Joe Anne Calderwood

675
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,680
Speaker 1: in her third UFC fight. Now she lost to Carlos Barza. Okay, fine,

676
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:46,479
Speaker 1: she beats Paulionnabtellio, Courtney Casey, that was a bit Dicey

677
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: had the draw with Rodriguez. She'd beat Jessica Iye, although

678
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: that was sort of a painful affair, and then she

679
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: beats Chukegian.

680
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:55,880
Speaker 2: Now it's so she's one one in one in.

681
00:33:55,840 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: Her last three, and of course she had missedweight for

682
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 1: the one to fifteen fights of the last two or

683
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: one twenty five. It's not like she's looked bad and

684
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 1: this fight she was a little bit overmatched, but she

685
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: didn't look bad. But it's like, and I'm not saying

686
00:34:12,160 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 1: that Kaitlyn Chukegan is on par with Amanda Cooper as

687
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: a level of competition, But what I'm saying is there's

688
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: a thing that you do that is so clearly good,

689
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,880
Speaker 1: and the thing that you do with striking is good

690
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: enough for the most part. Sometimes I feel like I've

691
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: been around the game long enough to know not what's

692
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,759
Speaker 1: best for her. But I can tell you that I've

693
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: seen this a number of times of fighters being like, yeah,

694
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:41,479
Speaker 1: you know what, I was chasing this goal of either

695
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: being a striker or being a wrestler or being well rounded,

696
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:46,399
Speaker 1: and I should have just done what I do best,

697
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,360
Speaker 1: whatever that other piece that they neglected.

698
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 2: May have been.

699
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 1: You know, Demi and Maya is a clear example of that.

700
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting to her that she goes pull guard.

701
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that, you know, but Demi and Maya

702
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:56,920
Speaker 1: was like, I'm gonna go out there and strike with

703
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: these guys and be well rounded. I'm not gonna rely

704
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: on my jiu jitsu. And then he was like, you

705
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: know what, man, fuck all that I'm not, you know,

706
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 1: a ridiculously insanely good grappler. I'm just going to go

707
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 1: and do that, and I'm not gonna worry about this

708
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: other bullshit. And he had a total career resurgence as

709
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 1: a consequence of it. You know, I just feel like

710
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,960
Speaker 1: there's something to be said for what are you really

711
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: good at?

712
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: What do you do? Where do you really shine in?

713
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: This game.

714
00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: And what got you here, And honestly, what got her

715
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: here was that I think some kind of reconstituting of

716
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 1: the effort around those skills is at least worth thinking about.

717
00:35:31,360 --> 00:35:33,040
Speaker 1: In the end, these are decisions for her and her

718
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:35,080
Speaker 1: coach to make. Who knows if she has some kind

719
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:37,360
Speaker 1: of injury that's preventing it. You know, there's always some

720
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,480
Speaker 1: kind of story that you're never really aware of when

721
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: you do this kind of a job and you're just,

722
00:35:41,080 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: you know, yapping into a microphone and then of course

723
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: you get all the information and you're like, oh, right,

724
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:47,200
Speaker 1: well I should have got that part. Okay, I fucked

725
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 1: it up, But but I do feel that way. As

726
00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: for Chike get a nice win, I'm not sure what

727
00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 1: it does for her except it shows her to be

728
00:35:56,960 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: much better than I thought she was. Candidly, you know,

729
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:03,240
Speaker 1: she's still at the top of the ranking. She's behind

730
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 1: on Doroge. Yeah, that's it, you know. So maybe she'll

731
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 1: fight Lauren Murphy. Maybe Lauren Murphy will get the winner

732
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,279
Speaker 1: of Androge and Chefchenko. It's that part's not clear. But

733
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 1: she has certainly retained status, and she's done it in

734
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,640
Speaker 1: a pretty interesting way. So shouts to her for a

735
00:36:20,719 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: job well done. And then lastly on the main card,

736
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: Paul Craig defeating Shogun who Shogun who A tapped to

737
00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: strikes and I, oh, that's not a question. That is

738
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,640
Speaker 1: not a statement I thought I would say or write

739
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:33,399
Speaker 1: as I did on Twitter, and I had some people

740
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: right back and being like, oh, that was a good

741
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: thing he did because he saved himself some punishment. And

742
00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,879
Speaker 1: I'm like, folks, it's a little late. It's a little

743
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 1: late in the game to be like, oh, Shogun has

744
00:36:44,160 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: saved himself some brain damage. I mean, folks, he's been

745
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: doing this for almost I mean, how what was his

746
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: fifty seventeen eighteen years he's been doing this. I mean

747
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 1: he made his pro debut in two thousand and two,

748
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: so he's probably trading that.

749
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:02,440
Speaker 2: So he's basically been doing this for twenty fucking years.

750
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:03,880
Speaker 2: You know.

751
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: The amount of brain damage that guy has taken is

752
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 1: astronomically high. And I have terrible fears for the future

753
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: for him, you know. I know it's very Debbie Downer ish,

754
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 1: but and people are like, well, he got good wins, right.

755
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,279
Speaker 1: People always want to look at it like, oh, you're

756
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,160
Speaker 1: done when you can't win anymore. Well, that's one way

757
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: to be like you're done. Another one is to say,

758
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,439
Speaker 1: how much damage have you accumulated such that you should

759
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: keep on accumulating it? And to me, he passed, and

760
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm almost I you know, I guess he

761
00:37:36,440 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 1: passes the medical screens, but tells you how the value

762
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: of those, because you know, I mean, just listen to

763
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: these losses and think about them. He got his arm

764
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: dislocated against Mark Coleman. He got submitted against Forest Griffin.

765
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: Forget all the gym wars, you know, and you came

766
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: out of shoot the box, which is like the gym

767
00:37:54,880 --> 00:37:59,319
Speaker 1: war team. He got decisioned by Lioto, but whatever you

768
00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,799
Speaker 1: know doesn't count. John Jones beat the ever living fuck

769
00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: out of him. He had a fight against Dan Henderson

770
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,880
Speaker 1: that took multiple years off his life. Gustuson beat him

771
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:12,680
Speaker 1: Chills Sun and submitted him. Dan Henderson viciously kaoted him

772
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 1: ovin Saint Prue pro prou whatever t kotem Anthony Smith

773
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: kaotom He got rocked in a bunch of other fights

774
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: along the way, and then of course he just got

775
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:25,240
Speaker 1: finished off in this one. So yeah, like was tapping tonight.

776
00:38:25,320 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: The right call to avoid further damage, of course, but

777
00:38:28,960 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 1: you know, we're talking years of fights that probably should

778
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: not have happened with just absolutely baked in damage a

779
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: little late in the game to be like he's he

780
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: saved himself to It's like, okay, I mean, I can't

781
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:48,479
Speaker 1: say that's wrong. It's just like, uh, I'm not sure

782
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:50,760
Speaker 1: how much that's gonna matter when it's all said and done,

783
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: because that dude took a fucking walloping over the course

784
00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:58,600
Speaker 1: of twenty years of doing this shit, you know. So

785
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 1: nice one for Paul Craig. Gotta say, I love it

786
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 1: when a guy is two hundred and five pounds and

787
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: can get out there and use the guard for sweeps

788
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 1: or you know, well, reversal is actually when it does

789
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: not come from guard. If it comes a changed position

790
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 1: from top to bottom with the guard, that's a sweep.

791
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,640
Speaker 1: But you know he's threatening underneath. He's doing deep half

792
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:23,919
Speaker 1: and shit, you know, and Sugarn tried that as well.

793
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how far that will take Paul Craig

794
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:29,920
Speaker 1: using that particular kind of skill, but it's nice to

795
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,279
Speaker 1: see somebody trying that, and I'm very appreciative of it.

796
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 2: He does a good job.

797
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 1: A couple of notes here from the prelim card if

798
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: I may not gonna get into this a whole lot,

799
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: Brandon Royville dislocates his shoulder in this fantastic first round fight.

800
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:45,360
Speaker 2: It stopped at four to.

801
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: Fifty nine of the first Brandon Moreno, he was winning anyway,

802
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,320
Speaker 1: but it was very fun and scrappy and competitive for sure.

803
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 1: And then sadly, I think he was in a leg

804
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: locked position or initially and then had moved to I

805
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 1: have to go back and look, I can't remember exactly

806
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,839
Speaker 1: the genesis of it, but ultimately had this point where

807
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: his shoulder was dislocated. Anyone who's ever had shoulder problems

808
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:10,280
Speaker 1: where your shoulder was chronically falling out of the joint,

809
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:12,400
Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's exactly his problem, but

810
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: it appears to be that that may be a concern

811
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:19,320
Speaker 1: if your shoulder is routinely falling out. Yes, the particular

812
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: reasons surrounding that, you know, need to be examined by

813
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:27,440
Speaker 1: a medical professional. And that's not me, obviously, that is

814
00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: not what I do. But I've had, you know, as

815
00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: a guy who's had shoulder surgery before, and my shit

816
00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: was falling out in my sleep. You know, I've had

817
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: a lot of conversations with the orthopedic orthopedic surgeons about

818
00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 1: the nature of fixing this everybody every time I tell someone,

819
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:44,919
Speaker 1: you have to get surgery to fix that shit, because

820
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,200
Speaker 1: what they basically do is I've always made this example watch,

821
00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 1: so this is the one I had repaired.

822
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 2: This is my normal one.

823
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:51,320
Speaker 1: Right, So if I made one like this and I

824
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 1: wanted to open it, I wanted to externally rotate, Let's

825
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,239
Speaker 1: see how far I can get. I mean, you can

826
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:01,239
Speaker 1: get pretty far. Okay, it's my normal shit. If I

827
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 1: want to externally rotate on my repaired side, how far

828
00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 1: can I get?

829
00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:05,879
Speaker 2: That's it?

830
00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 1: So that versus that it's hard to see if in

831
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 1: the angle you're at. But it's like it's like I

832
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,600
Speaker 1: can go to ten o'clock. This is twelve. I can

833
00:41:15,640 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: go to ten, and on this side, I can go

834
00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,359
Speaker 1: all almost all the way to three. Right, So it's

835
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 1: a big difference there in terms of it. And what

836
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,520
Speaker 1: they literally do is in my case, and I have

837
00:41:24,600 --> 00:41:28,479
Speaker 1: what's called slap surgery, they tighten it so that they're

838
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:32,400
Speaker 1: intentionally reducing range of motion, which if you're a professional athlete,

839
00:41:32,520 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 1: has some concerns that you would want to you know,

840
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: you know, that's the thing you want to make sure

841
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:40,280
Speaker 1: you can do before you just sort.

842
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:40,879
Speaker 2: Of up and get it.

843
00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I've just had enough conversations to at

844
00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:51,799
Speaker 1: least feel like, you know, physical rehab is obviously going

845
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 1: to be part of any surgery. But if your shoulder

846
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 1: is chronically falling out of the joint, yes, it is

847
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 1: true that you can get that done. You can probably

848
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:06,720
Speaker 1: address many of those issues without surgical intervention. But anytime

849
00:42:06,719 --> 00:42:08,479
Speaker 1: I bring up surgery, people always like, well, what about

850
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: non surgery choices. Yeah, they're not as fucking good. They're

851
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:16,279
Speaker 1: not not for that problem. They're not as fucking good.

852
00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 1: I don't you know. I'm sure some orthopedic surgeon is

853
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna write me and tell me that I'm wrong, But

854
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: you know, I've had fucking years of conversations about this

855
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:30,080
Speaker 1: with people who do that for a living, and it

856
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:34,680
Speaker 1: is strongly my position that, again, that may not be

857
00:42:34,719 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: his issue. Maybe this is a one or two time

858
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:38,640
Speaker 1: thing in his whole life. I don't know, But if

859
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:42,319
Speaker 1: your shit is just coming out pretty frequently, you have

860
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: to get that the integrity of the shoulder of the

861
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: ball and socket is compromised, and simple physical rehabilitation is

862
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 1: typically going to be insufficient to repair that. Joaking Buckley

863
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:58,840
Speaker 1: got a nice win over Jordan Wright. I don't know

864
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:01,040
Speaker 1: why Jordan Writ's corner send him out from the first

865
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 1: round to the second. But you know, in MMA, no

866
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: one gives a fucking buy this stuff anymore.

867
00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:05,479
Speaker 2: Dude.

868
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: A fighter could come back to the corner and speak

869
00:43:08,080 --> 00:43:11,040
Speaker 1: fucking gibberish like my daughter does, and they'd be like,

870
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,960
Speaker 1: you know what, send him on back out because you

871
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:16,200
Speaker 1: just never know what's gonna happen in MA. And then

872
00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: he goes and gets fucked up in the second round.

873
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,399
Speaker 1: He got fucked up at the end of the first two.

874
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,440
Speaker 1: He was winning the round basically up until he wasn't

875
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:26,080
Speaker 1: and he got really hurt by Woking Buckley, and then

876
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:28,200
Speaker 1: they come out in the second round. He just finished

877
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 1: him off. Basically, the guy didn't even know what he

878
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 1: was doing. He was not responding to his corner. You know,

879
00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,359
Speaker 1: he's slurring his speech, and they sent him back out.

880
00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,160
Speaker 1: It's like, I've raised hell about issues like this a

881
00:43:37,200 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: million times and no one seems to give a shit.

882
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: So I don't even know why. I don't know I

883
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 1: don't know what I'm supposed to say anymore. It's like

884
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 1: no nobody cares. Nobody cares. But Joaki Busley did get

885
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:52,480
Speaker 1: a nice win. It's amazing to think that this guy

886
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:56,280
Speaker 1: got finished by Kevin Holland with strikes just in August,

887
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: that when he had that KO win over A Kassan

888
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: and I and then this subsequent hyping that has happened.

889
00:44:02,719 --> 00:44:04,640
Speaker 1: UFC really went all in on it. It has been

890
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,440
Speaker 1: tremendously beneficial for him, and he got a nice win

891
00:44:07,520 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: to to follow up with it. And now that it

892
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:11,600
Speaker 1: looks like the UFC might try and set up a

893
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,320
Speaker 1: fight with him and James Krause, who are local rivals

894
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,440
Speaker 1: in the Saint Louis area for whatever reason, would love

895
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: to see it.

896
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:18,880
Speaker 2: ANTHONYA.

897
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 1: Chevchik, who got a nice win over Ari and Olypski

898
00:44:22,520 --> 00:44:26,799
Speaker 1: dominating in the ground game basically. And then Nicholas Dalby

899
00:44:26,800 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: defeated Daniel Rodriguez. I did not score that closely, but

900
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: I was surprised that Dlby won it, but I'd have

901
00:44:33,360 --> 00:44:36,160
Speaker 1: to go back and re rejudge it and see if

902
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 1: I got a different one on the second try. And

903
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: then last, but not least, Alan Joe Ban kind of

904
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:43,600
Speaker 1: that's win over Jared Gooden. Kyle Dakkas kind of went

905
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: over Dustin Stoltzfus and the fight that kicked off the

906
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: whole car was tremendous. This dude out of Hong Kong,

907
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 1: Sasha Platnikov fighting Leuis Cosy and beats him at two

908
00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: twenty seven of the third round. Cosey's one of these

909
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 1: like hard nosed wrestlers coming into this contest. I think

910
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: he had all like first round finishes or something. I'm

911
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:04,920
Speaker 1: something pretty close to that. You see this kind of

912
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: thing on the regional scene all the time all the time,

913
00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:11,480
Speaker 1: these hard nosed, real athletic wrestler types, you know, heavy

914
00:45:11,520 --> 00:45:13,759
Speaker 1: ground and pound. They're fucking balls to the wall right

915
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: up front. Like that dude's Spike, who believes in like

916
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: a million He's not exactly a wrestler type, but you

917
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: know he's really athletic and the you know, it leaves

918
00:45:21,600 --> 00:45:23,400
Speaker 1: on all the conspiracy theories, but you know he comes

919
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 1: out fucking, you know, like a bat out of hell.

920
00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: That again, on the regional scene, that is basically an

921
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: unbeatable style. Not totally, but you're gonna win a shitload

922
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,439
Speaker 1: of fights that way, and even in the low level

923
00:45:35,520 --> 00:45:38,960
Speaker 1: UFC ranks, you'll win, probably more often than not. But

924
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: against anybody skilled, you may even put it on him

925
00:45:42,080 --> 00:45:44,440
Speaker 1: for a time, but it's gonna be hard to advance.

926
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:48,040
Speaker 1: You're you're gonna be very limited if you fight that way.

927
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 1: And I think this was a bit of a wake

928
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 1: up call he showed grit Cosey. Did you know he

929
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: tried to rebound and figure out a way, but it

930
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 1: was he just didn't have a second or third year

931
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:58,360
Speaker 1: to go to and Polatnikov did, and you saw the

932
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 1: results as a consequence. All Right, we see I have

933
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 1: any questions on Twitter. If not, we'll go back to it.

934
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure everyone's gonna be like, Yo, you're fucking.

935
00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:09,359
Speaker 2: Mike is off.

936
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:22,400
Speaker 1: Not too many of them, Jesus Christ, thank God.

937
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:23,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

938
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,120
Speaker 1: So what we'll do is normally I would take questions

939
00:46:26,160 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: from what do you call it the super chat, We're

940
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: not doing that because we don't need the donations in

941
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,080
Speaker 1: that way. What we need is your subs, not your donations.

942
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,080
Speaker 1: So we'll have to figure out some other way for

943
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,640
Speaker 1: the next one of these. I want to do these

944
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: every pay per view, and I want to make them

945
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:42,200
Speaker 1: longer and longer, and if we can get BC on them,

946
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: I want to do that too. But BC will be

947
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,799
Speaker 1: here on Monday and we will do it from that

953
00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,200
