Here in America, 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: did he commit a hate crime?

Thy twenty two is the year episode three 27 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 6: seventy five of the Anakin Florian podcast featuring Kenny Florian. 28 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 6: Man a lot of people in the comments are talking 29 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 6: about your looks at whatever advanced age you are, born 30 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 6: nineteen seventy six. Do you ever read the comments, Kenny H. 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 2: Every once in a while, Every once in a while, 32 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what I feel old. 33 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 7: I did a little running, like I haven't run in 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 7: a long time, was doing some like drills and stuff, sprinting. 35 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 7: Sore as hell like that. I didn't run a lot 36 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 7: and I'm sore. That's how you know you're old. So yeah, 37 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 7: I'm feeling it today. 38 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 6: Well that makes me feel good because I know that 39 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 6: in terms of optimizing muscle mass, the amount I run 40 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 6: actually is not good. But I do know that running 41 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 6: is a full body workout, and as I think Santino 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 6: DeFranco and others have said, it's hard from like step 43 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 6: three to whatever degree. It could be one percent hard, 44 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 6: but as soon as you start going, it's a pain 45 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 6: looking ass. You know, I do it most days. I 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 6: can tell you it's not fun any day I do it. 47 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,960 Speaker 6: But it's going to be back with you, folks. We 48 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 6: have a lot to get to. I feel like we're 49 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 6: already up against the clock. That's why that pre show meeting, 50 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 6: I mean, did have to be that long fellas, I mean, 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 6: we do it talking from a Curson in the UH 52 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 6: in the first six minutes of the show, which algorithmically 53 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 6: I know is really bad. I don't know what to 54 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 6: tell people, right, I don't know what to tell people. 55 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 6: Focus on content here, not ratings. All right, So let's 56 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 6: get into UFC Fight Night, Thompson versus Holland, and then 57 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 6: of course picks from UFC two to eighty two Bohovich 58 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 6: versus on Goliah Ray Longo minute. Of course, hopefully Cody 59 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 6: connected with Ray and he'll be on the screws coming 60 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 6: up here at eleven thirty am Eastern on a Tuesday. 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,839 Speaker 6: But quite a main event between Steve and wonder Boy 62 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 6: Thompson and Kevin Trailblazer Holland. It ends twenty minutes in 63 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 6: Kevin Holland all banged up, and unlike what I said 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 6: on the broadcast about his corner, it seemed as though 65 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 6: it was his decision at that point in time, just 66 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 6: can't fight on And I don't blame him candidly at 67 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 6: that point in time. Tremendous toughness, otherworldly. So impressed with 68 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 6: what Stephen wonder Boy Thompson is able to do. I guess, 69 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 6: particularly at this age right to still have that speed 70 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,639 Speaker 6: and whip on this variance of kicks. Your thoughts on 71 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,400 Speaker 6: the main event, my men, Yeah. 72 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,079 Speaker 2: Listen, there's a lot to unpack. 73 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 7: I think that for anybody who's facing someone like a 74 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,640 Speaker 7: Steven wonder Boy Thompson, it's difficult enough if you have 75 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 7: four arms and four legs. Being down with one hand 76 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 7: and having to deal with all the different weapons that 77 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 7: WonderBoy comes into nyoctagon with is a big problem. This 78 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 7: is a kid who has been doing striking and doing 79 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 7: karate since he was a little kid, since he can 80 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 7: basically walk, so he's so good at moving around and 81 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 7: finding angles. And I think this was one of those 82 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 7: performance performances from Steven wonder Boy Thompson where it shows 83 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 7: his ability to adapt. And he's this, you know, good 84 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 7: looking kid who's known as this karate guy. 85 00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: But man is he tough as well. He took some damage. 86 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 7: He went against a Kevin Holland in round one that 87 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,279 Speaker 7: was landing some really heavy strikes and he had to 88 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 7: make adjustments out there, did the right things out there, 89 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 7: and unfortunately for Kevin Holland, he ended up breaking his hand. 90 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 7: It seemed like and Wonder Boy just ended up taking over. 91 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 7: Was was doling out a lot of damage down to 92 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 7: the body, to the legs upstairs, that left hand and 93 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 7: that finished with that jab as he was fighting an angle. 94 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: It's just a thing of beauty. 95 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 7: Looked like, you know, a many Pakiow in his prime 96 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,720 Speaker 7: with that little combination. But yeah, Wonder Boy's amazing man 97 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 7: thirty nine years old and doing that against a younger fighter, 98 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 7: very dangerous fighter, very tall and large fighter in the 99 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 7: waltweight division. 100 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: Wonder Boy's amazing. 101 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 6: So I don't know when Wonder Boy's going to retire. 102 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 6: It might even be six years from now. Kenny had 103 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 6: forty five years of age. Honestly, if he's only fighting 104 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 6: once or one point seventy five times a year, it 105 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 6: stands to reason that he could fight for a while. 106 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 6: But I do think eventually when he retires, he has 107 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 6: said it's going to be his father raised decision. Obviously, 108 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 6: his dad's been coaching him since he was fifteen, and 109 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 6: I think when that time comes, it might be pretty quick. Right, 110 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,160 Speaker 6: all of a sudden ray, we'll see something in one 111 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 6: fight that he doesn't like and that'll be that. But 112 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 6: we are very far from that and we're going to 113 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 6: spin this thing forward in a second. But I do 114 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 6: want to talk about this fight, and particularly when it 115 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 6: comes to Kevin Holland, because certainly a lot of talking 116 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 6: heads are going to talk about his fight IQ and 117 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 6: everything else. I would first like to talk to you 118 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 6: about the pre fight cordiality, if that's even a word, right, 119 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 6: just some and I had a conversation with Dean Thomas 120 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 6: about this yesterday. I filled in on the UFC's podcast 121 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 6: just about Stephen wonder Boy Thompson is the nicest motherfucker 122 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 6: out there right and likes to befriend you and become 123 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 6: your friend. These guys, Kenny, not only were they as 124 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 6: close as I've ever seen two guys during a fight week, 125 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 6: but certainly for headlining athletes. Supposedly their rooms were next 126 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 6: to each other. They were seeking each other out. And 127 00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 6: I have to share this with the audience and the 128 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 6: nature of journalistic integrity, if nothing else, you know, I 129 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,720 Speaker 6: see a lot of things, And I saw a wonder 130 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 6: boy get off the elevator at one point in time, 131 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 6: and Kevin Holland has a camera crew with him the 132 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 6: whole time. The dude's like seeking out his opponent because 133 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:27,400 Speaker 6: he likes him, and I don't blame him. I enjoy 134 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 6: hanging out with Kevin Holland too, you know, wouldn't mind 135 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 6: smoking a joy with the guy. 136 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 5: But it's crazy, man. 137 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 6: It's juxtaposed against guys like you and DC that just 138 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,599 Speaker 6: don't quite understand that rationale before. 139 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 7: Yeah, listen, I don't want to go in there and 140 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 7: befriend my opponent. I don't want to get into that 141 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 7: mindset I experience that you know with the ultimate fighter 142 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 7: of thinking this guy's my friend or whatever. Listen, at 143 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 7: the end of the day, you have to be prepared 144 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,039 Speaker 7: to destroy that guy. 145 00:06:58,880 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Across from you. 146 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 7: Any ounce of weakness or friendship could be the end 147 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 7: of you. In my opinion, that's the way I kind 148 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 7: of would approach it. But it also could be a 149 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 7: weapon as well. I am going to be nice to you. 150 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 7: I am going to let your guard down, and in 151 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 7: doing so, I make you vulnerable to me going out 152 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 7: there and destroying you. So I don't know, I would notice. 153 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 7: We used to talk about this all the time with 154 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 7: Donald Cowboys SERRONI. He would always try to go out there, 155 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 7: give a little hug a pound before he would perform better, 156 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 7: as he would make you more comfortable. In my opinion, 157 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 7: he would try to make you friendly, everything's cool, and 158 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 7: then he would perform better. He just seemed to be 159 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 7: doing better against people like that. Perhaps Wonder Boy has 160 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 7: that same approach. I don't know, but yeah, for me, 161 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 7: I want to be as far away from my opponent 162 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 7: as possible. I tried to keep it that way. 163 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 6: Anyway, Let's make one of the greatest strikers in UFC 164 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 6: history super comfortable as if it's a scarring session. Let's 165 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 6: do that, right, so you could say what are we 166 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 6: doing here? You know, and some fans are coming to 167 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 6: me saying, what is this an exhibition? 168 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 8: Right? 169 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:11,119 Speaker 6: Kevin Holland doesn't necessarily he's not emotionally attached to winning 170 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 6: and losing. Certainly not as much as he was in 171 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 6: December of twenty twenty when he was ripping off a 172 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 6: five and oh year and he beat Jacka at a 173 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 6: soza and it looked like he could maybe win a belt. Right, 174 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 6: he doesn't seem to have those championship aspirations right now, 175 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 6: and I think that dovetails more with his approach in 176 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 6: the fight. Obviously, late his injuries necessitated maybe that he 177 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 6: wrestle a little bit. But I don't know, man, I 178 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 6: don't really know what to make of Kevin Holland at 179 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 6: this stage of things. Kenny, he's super active, he can 180 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 6: bounce between weight classes, he can make weight, he's promotionally reliable, 181 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 6: he's durable as hell. I have a lot of respect 182 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 6: for him. But mentally, he just seems very different than 183 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 6: a lot of these other athletes in so far as 184 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 6: he doesn't seem, you know, driven by the belt anymore. 185 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 7: I wonder if he's even driven by the win in 186 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 7: a lot of ways, just because of some of the 187 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 7: decision making he was making in that fight against Steven 188 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 7: wonder Boy Thompson. Here you are, you're a Brazilian jitsu 189 00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 7: black belt. You have finally one of the finest strikers 190 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 7: to ever enter the octagon on his back, not once, twice, 191 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 7: three times, and you decide to step out of there 192 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 7: and let him back up. 193 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: It's like, I don't understand that at all. I don't know. 194 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 7: Maybe he's trying to prove something to himself that is 195 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 7: greater than the win. 196 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 2: If that's the case, hey, power to you, man. 197 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 7: But at the same time, we can't complain about our 198 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 7: record or our approach or how the UFC is treating 199 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 7: us in some ways. If we take an approach of 200 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 7: saying I am just here to entertain or I'm going 201 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 7: to fight a certain way, there's going to be repercussions. 202 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 7: There's repercussions for every decision we make. But I don't 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 7: know in my opinion, if I'm taking this fight and 204 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,679 Speaker 7: I'm able to fight someone like a Stephen Wonder Boy 205 00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 7: Thompson and obviously a phenomenal striker, and I get him 206 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 7: on the ground, I am not letting that dude up. 207 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 7: I am trying to beat him at the best of 208 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 7: my ability however I can whenever I can. I'm trying 209 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 7: to submit that dude or pound him out, and Holland 210 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 7: is letting him up. I just didn't understand that approach. 211 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 7: I would like to, but I don't know. It was 212 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:22,600 Speaker 7: a little strange to. 213 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:23,440 Speaker 2: Me, all right. 214 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 6: Entertaining fight for the masses. Steven Warner Boy Thompson came 215 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,960 Speaker 6: in number six in the world. Kevin Holland was unranked. Hey, 216 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 6: what's that expression, like, you can't have your cake and 217 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 6: eat it too? What does that even mean? What does 218 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 6: it mean? Do you know what it means? 219 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 7: I guess that you can't have it all. You can't 220 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 7: decide to you know. I guess it's like you know, 221 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 7: I can't decide to go all right, I'm gonna be 222 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 7: I'm gonna be an exciting fighter out there, But then 223 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 7: I'm going to complain that fans, you know, aren't giving 224 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 7: me the shine or the UFC is not giving me 225 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 7: the ability to go out and do this. 226 00:10:57,559 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: I don't know. 227 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 6: I don't know. 228 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,440 Speaker 7: And again, just to talk about WonderBoy, in what I saw, 229 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 7: I did see a WonderBoy that was a step slower. 230 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 7: I've been seeing it a little bit, but in this fight, yes, 231 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 7: he's just so damn good and so technical and so 232 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 7: experienced that he could do that to someone like Kevin Holland. 233 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,560 Speaker 7: But in what I was watching, I still saw a 234 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 7: WonderBoy that's a step slower than what we used to see. 235 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 2: So that's a little concerning for me. 236 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 7: I still think he beats you know, ninety percent of 237 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 7: the strikers out there. He's just that good. Yeah, but 238 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,960 Speaker 7: I did see a WonderBoy that's a little bit slower. 239 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 7: And when you rely on your speed, similar to Anderson Silva, 240 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 7: Roy Jones Junior when he was boxing, if you rely 241 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 7: on your speed so much. If that has been a 242 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 7: weapon for you for a long time, and now that 243 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 7: has slowed down significantly, you're going to take a lot 244 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 7: more damage. I would argue that Stephen WonderBoy from three five, 245 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 7: seven years ago wouldn't take that same amount of damage 246 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 7: against Kevin Holland from today. 247 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 6: He took a lot of damage in this fight, and 248 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,319 Speaker 6: it'll take him a while to recover right into terms 249 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,480 Speaker 6: of the hand and everything else. But good on, Stephen 250 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 6: wonder Boy Thompson. All right, so thank you Cody for 251 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,079 Speaker 6: this courtesy of Wikipedia. This is what I was looking 252 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 6: for to sort of get into our next conversation. No, 253 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 6: you're good. So the proverb you cannot simultaneously retain possession 254 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 6: of a cake and eat it too. Once the cake 255 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 6: is eaten, it is gone. It can be used to 256 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 6: say that one cannot have two incompatible things, or that 257 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 6: one should not try to have more than is reasonable. 258 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 6: The proverb's meaning is similar to the phrases you can't 259 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,680 Speaker 6: have it both ways. Yes, okay, thank you. You can't 260 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,200 Speaker 6: eat your cake and simultaneously still have the cake. I 261 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 6: love it, all right. So here's the point, Stephen Warner 262 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 6: Boy Thompson wants to contend in the UFC's welterweight division. 263 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 6: He also, I think has an appetite for matchups that 264 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 6: afford him the opportunity to showcase his striking, especially at 265 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 6: this stage of his career. He's number six in the world, 266 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 6: right forget guys that he has already fought in the 267 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 6: top echelon right ranked above him right now, Gilbert Burns 268 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 6: and Blah Muhammad. Obviously not going to fight those guys. 269 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,079 Speaker 6: I'm not going to fight Kobe Covington, nor Kamara Usman, 270 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 6: nor Leon Edwards right now. And by the way, were 271 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 6: he to fight Leon Edwards, Leon Edwards would probably try 272 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 6: to wrestle him and take him down. To be sure, 273 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 6: kamzat Chimaiev is in there as well, that fight is 274 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 6: not going to be made. So when I look at 275 00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 6: the top fifteen Ken Flow, there is Jorge Mosfeidal obviously 276 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 6: there at number eleven. That name sort of resonates mean 277 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 6: he's not going to fight Sean. 278 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: Brady, right. 279 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 6: Michelle Putaid at number fourteen in the world is the 280 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 6: guy that I would like to see Stephen Wanner Boy 281 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 6: Thompson fight. Perhaps they do it over five rounds. I 282 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 6: do think it stands to reason that Paeda would grapple 283 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 6: in that setting, right, But I don't think wonder Boy 284 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,640 Speaker 6: Thompson can simultaneously contend and fight a striker at weltroy 285 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 6: And I think everybody in the top fifteen essentially at 286 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 6: this point is going to try to wrestle him. And 287 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,480 Speaker 6: I don't want gentlemen's agreements with a guy like Michelle Paeda. 288 00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 6: So what are your thoughts on Stephen wonder Boy Thompson, 289 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 6: who still has championship aspirations in his own mind? 290 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that he wants the good fights. 291 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 7: Championship fight is going to bring in more money, It's 292 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 7: going to bring in more of what he seeks out. 293 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 7: Is that really what he wants? I don't necessarily believe that. 294 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 7: I think he wants good fights to finish out the 295 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 7: rest of his career. That's why he's calling out a striker. 296 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 7: And I think that one of the guys on that 297 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:27,400 Speaker 7: list would be Michel Pereira. I think that Perera is 298 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 7: okay at grappling, but I think that he is a 299 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 7: guy that would probably try to stand up and trade 300 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 7: with someone like Stephen wonder Boy Thompson. But as you mentioned, 301 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 7: one of those fights are advantageous to him. He's fought 302 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 7: Jeff Neil, He's already fought Jorge Masvidal, right. 303 00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 2: And I don't know it. So a lot of those. 304 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 7: Big fights that he's been seeking out I don't think 305 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 7: are available for him right now. 306 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:56,880 Speaker 2: So and Pereira, who. 307 00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 7: Is number fourteen, is that a good fight for him? 308 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 7: Maybe it can be a UFC Fight Night main event 309 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 7: stuff like that, but I don't know. I think Wonder 310 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 7: Boy needs to decide what he actually wants and what 311 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 7: he can actually accomplish at this stage of the game. 312 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 7: I don't think he's going to get a title shot 313 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 7: at this stage of the game, even though he's a 314 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 7: big name and. 315 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: A fun guy to watch. 316 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 7: There's just so much competition at one hundred and seventy 317 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 7: pounds right now, where he just kind of needs to say, 318 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 7: you know what, just give me fun fights and that's cool. 319 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: That's fine. 320 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 7: You want to do that, that's cool. Wonder Boy is 321 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 7: an absolute legend. He deserves that, I think. But at 322 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 7: the same time, you have to be very careful of 323 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 7: not hanging around too long because it's then when it's 324 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 7: going to be that lens in which people perceive you, 325 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 7: right We don't need to talk about the BJ Pens 326 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 7: and all those people that have stuck around too long, 327 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 7: and now they're no longer in the goat conversation because 328 00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 7: they're viewing them through those last few fights. 329 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: You know what I mean? That specialness, that uniqueness is gone. 330 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 6: So interesting? Right about BJ who in his prime, you 331 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 6: know you fought him on the night that he was 332 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 6: at the height of motivation. Why why did we have 333 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 6: Why did Team Florian have to fight the BJ Penn who, 334 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 6: in terms of his strength and conditioning, was more motivated 335 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 6: than ever before. Like, did we have to have the 336 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:15,120 Speaker 6: most motivation? 337 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 2: You know? 338 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 6: He knew because Ken Flow was a badass. He knew 339 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 6: he needed to be his best. Those are facts, folks, 340 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 6: you know, those are not rose colored glasses. I want 341 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 6: to wear shades today. Conna looking kind of tired, all right. 342 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 6: I didn't intend to spend that much time on the 343 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 6: main event, but uh, because we were in Orlando. To 344 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 6: quote the great Orlando Magic public address announcer what's his name, 345 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 6: I don't know, but stand in sheer for halfayl dos 346 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 6: fucking on jos Man, right, I mean, is this just 347 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 6: like jiu jitsu training camp Jiu jitsu win like finish, 348 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 6: moving on up top five all time wins for r DA. 349 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 6: I can't wait for his Hall of Fame night. You know, 350 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 6: you never know how the UFC Hall of Fame is 351 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 6: going to shake out, you know, as I forecast maybe 352 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 6: them building a Hall of Fame class around half Fayel 353 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 6: Dos Andjos in the next to seven years. I don't know, 354 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,200 Speaker 6: but this year's a Hall of Famer and he adds 355 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 6: to his legacy with the winning the comin event here 356 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 6: against Brian Barbarina. 357 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 7: Your thoughts, I would argue there's a lot of people 358 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 7: in that welterweight division that would have struggled against Brian 359 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 7: Barbarina based on his toughness, his ability to just stand around, 360 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 7: you know, stay in there and hang in there and 361 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 7: take punishment. RDA is a different level of fighter. That's 362 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 7: when you can see a different classifighter. When you see 363 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 7: someone who is highly technical, highly experienced, knows how to 364 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,640 Speaker 7: put it all together and figure out. 365 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 2: A way to get you the hell out of there. 366 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 7: Not try to fight you, but I'm trying to go 367 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 7: out there and get you the hell out of there. 368 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 7: That's what RJA was able to do with his set 369 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,000 Speaker 7: of skills against a guy in Barbarina who is tough 370 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 7: as hell. So Rdier again established himself as an elite competitor. 371 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 7: Still looked fantastic, was fun fun to watch as well. 372 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 7: He was aggressive and was just all over Barbarina. 373 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 2: Never really allowed Barbara Ran into that fight. 374 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 6: I just have so much respect for Halfael dos Angos 375 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 6: right comes to California. I believe he attains US citizensship 376 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 6: in twenty nineteen, but now has been living back in 377 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 6: Brazil for several years because it's better for his family, 378 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 6: it's better for training. He's aligned with Andre Peternairas and 379 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 6: Nova un Yao and they just have it dialed in, man, 380 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,400 Speaker 6: they really do. And I'm very happy for dos Ajos. 381 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,200 Speaker 6: I'm not sure he's going to get the Connor McGregor 382 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 6: fight that he asked for now. When that fight was 383 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 6: supposed to happen in and around twenty fifteen, if I'm 384 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 6: not mistaken, my appetite for that fight was off the charts. 385 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 6: I can't say that I have the appetite for it 386 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 6: right now, necessarily. I mean, I think it'd be great. 387 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,800 Speaker 6: Rda deserves to call his shot. I just think that 388 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 6: Connor McGregor probably is going to go in a different direction. 389 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 6: But what are your thoughts on URDA now spinning it 390 00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 6: forward at welterweight and you know, do you think there's 391 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 6: any any juice to him and Connor somehow, some way 392 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 6: signing on the dotted line to get that one back. 393 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 7: I love the call out marketing wise, promotional wise, I 394 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 7: don't know if that's going to be the direction that 395 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 7: Connor McGregor and the UFC go. I also think it's 396 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 7: a very dangerous fight for Connor McGregor. I think that 397 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 7: RDA can beat you in a lot of different ways. 398 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 7: I do think Connor McGregor has the edge on the feet, 399 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:22,680 Speaker 7: but I would see RDA have the ability to take 400 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 7: him down repeatedly as well, control him on the ground, 401 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 7: tire him out and ultimately get some kind. 402 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 2: Of a finish. So I think it's a dangerous fight 403 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 2: for Connor. 404 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 7: Could Connor win too, Yeah, absolutely, But I don't think 405 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 7: if you're looking at what your best matchups are to 406 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 7: make promotionally, and if I'm Connor McGregor, I don't think that's. 407 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 2: The direction that I would go. 408 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,359 Speaker 7: I think it seems like he's leaning more towards the 409 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 7: dustin Poitier fourth. 410 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:54,199 Speaker 2: Fight, So I don't know. But for RDA, I don't know. 411 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 7: And give him another big fight, put him on another 412 00:19:56,760 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 7: you know, put him on a main event somewhere against 413 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 7: a that's another great fighter. I would love to see it. 414 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 7: I don't know what would would he fight wonder Boy? 415 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,199 Speaker 7: And does that make sense? Have they fought before? 416 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 6: I mean you're talking about wonder Boy and uh and 417 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 6: conn Oh. Yeah, I guess that would make some sense. 418 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 6: But no, no, I don't think that's what Steve Warner 419 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:18,520 Speaker 6: Boy Thompson's looking for. 420 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 2: You know, I don't think it is either. 421 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 6: Dumb City, right, Matt Return, Matt Return. Yeah, But Connor 422 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 6: McGregor and Stephen wonder Boy Thompson's stylistically, I think is 423 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 6: a cool fight, But I don't want Connor to fight, 424 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 6: you know, the nicest dude on the roster at all. Right, 425 00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 6: And it was interesting because Dean Thomas was talking about 426 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 6: Tyron Woodley in the lead up to the Stephen Waterer 427 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:44,480 Speaker 6: Boy Thompson fight that he sort of created this narrative 428 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 6: that wonder Boy was fake, even though they knew that 429 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 6: he was as real as it gets, just to try 430 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 6: to develop some animosity because we're not trying to be 431 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 6: friends here necessarily, right, But hey, I love Stephen Warner 432 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 6: Boy Thompson. You know, I'm just sort of echoing my 433 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 6: opinion as a UFC fan as far as all that 434 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 6: is concerned. How about Sergey Pavlovich. All right, so tem 435 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,280 Speaker 6: Floyan's got a heavyweight and you got to beat this guy. 436 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,680 Speaker 6: So if you don't know the story, now it's another 437 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 6: knockout for Sergey Pavlovich, this one over Ty to Ivasa 438 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 6: fifty four seconds in. And I hope people are making 439 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,000 Speaker 6: money on this guy right in terms of betting him early, 440 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 6: right in these knockout round one propositions. UFC debut at 441 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,680 Speaker 6: twenty six against Alastair Ovary, then he missed a couple 442 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 6: of years due to myriad issues, and now he's got 443 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 6: five straight wins and you know, seems to be the 444 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 6: boogeyman at least right now with the heavyweight division. What 445 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 6: are your thoughts on Pavlovich? 446 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 2: Too fast, too powerful for Tye. 447 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 7: I was thinking that maybe ty could land a shot 448 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 7: as Pavlovitch, you know, hurts him and come back, but 449 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 7: there was just too much firepower. That dude is an 450 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 7: absolute Savage, a proper heavyweight who hits hard, that's extremely fast, 451 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 7: and he's going to be interesting dude. 452 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 2: Man, that's a tough guy to beat. 453 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 7: I wouldn't stand up with that guy for two long 454 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 7: put him on his back, see what he has there, 455 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 7: because he's going to catch a lot of people. 456 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: Man's a dangerous dude. 457 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 6: So it's interesting. I try to look for a heavyweight 458 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 6: who maybe could exercise some patience, a see itle Gone type. 459 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 6: Curtis Blades would be an interesting challenge and give him 460 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 6: the most decorated wrestler at least takedown wise in UFC 461 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 6: heavyweight history. Tom Aspinall's on the men. Derek Lewis needs 462 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 6: a fight. Been there, done that though, right. I mean, 463 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 6: Sergey Pavlovitch is getting awfully close to a championship opportunity, 464 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 6: and I do think he has some personality. If he 465 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,880 Speaker 6: could lean into the English a little bit, I really 466 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 6: think it would serve him. 467 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 4: Well. 468 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 6: I don't know if they'll give him Curtis Blades necessarily 469 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 6: right now, but yeah, very impressed by the heavyweight, needless 470 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 6: to say. And you don't have to go bonus begging guys, 471 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 6: but he did get the bonus. I do believe, generally speaking, 472 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 6: unless you can craftily ask for the bonus in the 473 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 6: post fight interview in a subtle, thoughtful, original way, don't 474 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 6: go bonus begging. I think it works against you. You 475 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 6: have to let the performance do the talking, because I 476 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 6: don't know, Hey, Kenny, if you were handing out the 477 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,919 Speaker 6: bonuses right as soon as somebody go, hey man, you 478 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 6: know the first thing on them? My, hey man, you 479 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 6: know I'll need that fifty k He's no, keep it 480 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 6: about the martial arts, right, yeah, all right, we got 481 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,880 Speaker 6: to get to Roman Dealeds. Longo's coming up any minute, 482 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,280 Speaker 6: but we have to get to Roman Dealeds. So I'm 483 00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,679 Speaker 6: writing my copy my scripts before the fight and all 484 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 6: right coming up next, you know, and all eyes on 485 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 6: Roman Deleds. Whatever the hell I was saying, And what 486 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,639 Speaker 6: I wrote was that in terms of the pre fight 487 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,920 Speaker 6: fighter meeting with a fighter, I've never been more intimidated 488 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 6: than I was this Thursday. And thankfully my questions weren't 489 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,679 Speaker 6: too off putting. And then what does this guy go 490 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,919 Speaker 6: out and do something that I had never seen before? 491 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 6: So it tuk us throughout Roman Dealidze's TKO against Jack Hermanson. 492 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 6: Her Manson was number eight in the world. Now Deleeds 493 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 6: likely is going to take his number. 494 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 7: I'm particularly impressed by the fact. And here you have 495 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 7: a guy who's pretty muscled out, has the ability to 496 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 7: knock you out as well, and can move so fluidly 497 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 7: and be so relaxed on the ground. 498 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 2: John not only. 499 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 7: That, but he's extremely creative on the ground as well, 500 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 7: and he's hitting high level stuff. It shows to me 501 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 7: that he's special on the ground. He's not just another dude. 502 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 7: You have to respect him tremendously, whether on the feed 503 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 7: or on the ground. And to do that against a 504 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 7: guy and her Manson, I mean, you just don't see 505 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 7: a whole lot of people do that. 506 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: He was not afraid to go to the ground. That 507 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 2: was the other thing. 508 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 7: It was like, Okay, you want to take me down, 509 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 7: that's cool, I'll work off my back.

How 514 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 2: about it? 515 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 7: Put you belly down into the canvas and they try 516 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 7: to separate your knee from you know, the lower part 517 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 7: of your leg. 518 00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 2: But I'm going to pin you to the floor and 519 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 2: I'm going to ground and pound you. 520 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 7: It was just it was nasty, high level stuff that 521 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 7: was extremely impressive. 522 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 8: Uh. 523 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 7: And I can't wait to see him again. Man, I've 524 00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:20,200 Speaker 7: been sleeping on him. I haven't had my eyes on him. 525 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 7: I will watch his next fight. Love watching him fight. 526 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 6: Oh man, guys, incredible. It's really going to be interesting too, 527 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 6: because I don't believe that Mick Maynard I believe handles 528 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 6: the middleweights. If I'm not mistaken, I do not believe 529 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 6: he's going to get a lot of phone calls, people 530 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,960 Speaker 6: burning up his line asking to fight Roman Deliedes and reciprocally, 531 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,320 Speaker 6: when he's doling out that name, I don't think you're 532 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,440 Speaker 6: going to get a lot of bites. By the way, 533 00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 6: Clay Guida was fishing on fight day and I mentioned 534 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 6: it on the broadcast, and so as the broadcast continued 535 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 6: after his win, he texted me a picture of the 536 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 6: fish he caught, you know, back of hotel on fight day, 537 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,440 Speaker 6: A little little monster, well fucking z monster. No, it 538 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 6: wasn't a seam, but it was a nice big fish. 539 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,640 Speaker 2: Dude. 540 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:09,040 Speaker 6: This Roman Delidze though no head coach, and the reason 541 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 6: he was able to take this fight is because he 542 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 6: stayed in Vegas to help Sergey Spivak prepare for Derek 543 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,720 Speaker 6: Luis in a fight that did not materialize. But sometimes 544 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 6: for guys visa issues and other things, he always goes 545 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,600 Speaker 6: back to Georgia after his wins, and he had gone 546 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 6: home or he had not gone home because of this 547 00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,200 Speaker 6: circumstance with Spivak's fight, and he's got Spivak and Chris 548 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 6: Curtis in his corner and got to be motivational for 549 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 6: Chris Curtis, who fights this weekend. So when I try 550 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,359 Speaker 6: to spin it forward for guys, I don't always know 551 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 6: who's matched up right. But when you look at some 552 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 6: of the guys at middleweight, you know, Sean Strickland and 553 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,199 Speaker 6: Cannon here obviously have a main event, Kelvin Gastolm and 554 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 6: Nosordini Mavov have a main event. I mean, you could 555 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 6: do worse than Andre moon Is in Roman dealidze and 556 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 6: a main event, But I don't know, you want to 557 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 6: pluck one of those guys off. But I mean, my gosh, 558 00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 6: just so many you like that? 559 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 7: You like that, dude, I like that because both those 560 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,919 Speaker 7: guys submission dues good grapplers. You know, Dalite probably has 561 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 7: an edge on power on the feed and stuff like that. 562 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 7: But those grappling exchanges I'm here for. 563 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,360 Speaker 2: Let's do it. 564 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 6: Do the matchmakers listen to the Anak and Florian podcast. 565 00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 6: I'm gonna say better, they better like to say, we're 566 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 6: the podcast of the you know the MMA people, right, 567 00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,200 Speaker 6: I got a lot of fighters who listen to the podcast. 568 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,880 Speaker 2: We love you all. 569 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 6: Andre moon Is Roman deletes A hopefully coming to an 570 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,719 Speaker 6: octagon near you in twenty twenty three.

Guy's all that shit 677 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:25,320 Speaker 6: right right? 678 00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,640 Speaker 4: All right? What do we got? Oh? 679 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,040 Speaker 6: We got a lot of stuff. How about your boy, 680 00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 6: Stephen Warner, boy Thompson with Ray Thompson in his corner. 681 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:34,880 Speaker 6: Look at these guys still getting it done. 682 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,040 Speaker 4: Huh, unbelievable. I'll tell you, give one the boy a 683 00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 4: fight like that, he's good for another ten years. I 684 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,080 Speaker 4: really believe that's all he does. That what you saw 685 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 4: last night, I think he does every day in the gym, 686 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 4: whether it's with an eight year old or a twenty 687 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,800 Speaker 4: eight year old. Like, hey, that's that's what he does. 688 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,560 Speaker 4: I got one kid in the gym just a month off. 689 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,239 Speaker 4: We'll take anybody. I'll begin it. But he looked. They 690 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,040 Speaker 4: just play, and they do it every day, and it 691 00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:05,720 Speaker 4: becomes if you can't take him out of that rhythm, 692 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 4: you're losing the fight. 693 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 6: It's so interesting, and you were so bullish in terms 694 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 6: of his chances as a slight underdog in this fight, 695 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 6: and I absolutely give you credit. I mean, we can 696 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 6: certainly talk as much as we want about Kevin Hollins approach, 697 00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 6: but Wonder Boy, in a lot of respects still has 698 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,480 Speaker 6: got it, even if he, as ken Flow suggested, maybe 699 00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,120 Speaker 6: as a step slower. But I had said Ray earlier 700 00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:28,480 Speaker 6: on the podcast, and I know you weren't here, that 701 00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 6: I think he can fight till forty five, forty six 702 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,960 Speaker 6: years old, potentially if he's fighting one or two times 703 00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,120 Speaker 6: a year strategically, depending on the fight. He did take 704 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,560 Speaker 6: a lot of damage though in this fight. 705 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,240 Speaker 4: Well, you got head budded probably once or twice. He 706 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 4: got hit with the right hand. Besides that, Yeah, that's fair. 707 00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 6: No, well, I guess I'm just thinking about the orbital 708 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 6: right in the broken hand. But you know you're right. 709 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 4: Yeah. Wait, oh did one the boy break his hand? 710 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:57,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, he broke his left hand, if I'm not mistaken. 711 00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:02,480 Speaker 4: Oh, I didn't know that he landed enough times. 712 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,960 Speaker 6: But he said that when his father tells him to 713 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,960 Speaker 6: step away right then and there, he's done. And whenever 714 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:11,560 Speaker 6: that happens, who knows. But to your point, I really 715 00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 6: think I think he's got some staying power. I just 716 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,720 Speaker 6: think he got to keep him away from the singlets. 717 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,800 Speaker 4: Out of doubt. That's it period. 718 00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 6: So anything else on the main event, you have anything 719 00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,680 Speaker 6: on Kevin Holland. I mean, certainly some people are wondering 720 00:34:24,719 --> 00:34:28,839 Speaker 6: why he why these guys were so congenial. I guess 721 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 6: is neither here nor there. But why when the fight 722 00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:35,359 Speaker 6: was going on, didn't Kevin Holland want to grapple and 723 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:36,960 Speaker 6: win the fight when the fight was there? 724 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 4: I think, you know, didn't they have some unwritten agreement? 725 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,040 Speaker 4: And I think, look, they're both nice guys. I think 726 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 4: they had it at that's a coach's nightmare, that's what 727 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:49,560 Speaker 4: you're asking me. 728 00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,919 Speaker 6: You know when broadcaster's nightmare too? What was that broadcaster's 729 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 6: nightmare too? If there's a gentleman's agreement for the sport? Right, no, right, 730 00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,480 Speaker 6: didn't they? 731 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 4: But somebody else do that? Will back? It was like 732 00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:09,279 Speaker 4: a stand up war. Look, I Q wise it's it's 733 00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 4: not a good thing, but entertainment value. I think it 734 00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 4: hit pretty well, right. I think Chandler kind of does 735 00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:20,400 Speaker 4: the same thing. Right, they make it. They're not an agreement, 736 00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,040 Speaker 4: but they're out there brawl and yet two wrestlers and 737 00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:26,520 Speaker 4: engagee that. You know, maybe they did it a little bit, 738 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,359 Speaker 4: but they were content on just knocktting the shit out 739 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:33,239 Speaker 4: of each other. I don't know what's the question to 740 00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:34,960 Speaker 4: be asking me if it was, if it's a smart 741 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 4: thing to do. 742 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,160 Speaker 6: No, I think we hit on all sides of that. 743 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:39,600 Speaker 6: I have a lot of different things I want to 744 00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:43,960 Speaker 6: get to, So I think that's that's pretty good, all right. 745 00:35:44,040 --> 00:35:47,359 Speaker 6: So I want to get to Roman Dalids. Hey when 746 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,840 Speaker 6: Chris Wyman comes back, and I really hope that he 747 00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 6: can go out on his terms and be back for 748 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,719 Speaker 6: a fighter two, if not three, right, but one guy, 749 00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 6: I think you guys should avoid at least right now, 750 00:35:56,400 --> 00:36:00,880 Speaker 6: Roman Dealeds. I'm just saying that tongue in cheek. I 751 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,960 Speaker 6: don't know if you froze or you're just stonewalling me, 752 00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:05,520 Speaker 6: but uh, I think you should have wiled you. 753 00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:11,759 Speaker 4: Get John, You might have locked up a little bit. 754 00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,680 Speaker 4: Just repeat that, please, So. 755 00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 6: Did you happen to see what Roman Delides did against 756 00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 6: Jack Hermanson with that whole calf slicer business? All right, 757 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 6: we're having some technical difficulties, kemflow. 758 00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:32,440 Speaker 2: Can you hear me?

Dillashaw's retirement with Ray. I don't know if 763 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 6: you saw that can flow. 764 00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:50,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did reckon hear us. Yeah, so I thought 765 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 2: that was interesting. 766 00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 7: Kind of it makes sense obviously, given the circumstances around 767 00:36:56,680 --> 00:36:59,120 Speaker 7: what happened and the fact that he would be gone 768 00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,600 Speaker 7: for a very long long time. 769 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 2: It kind of took me by surprise. 770 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 7: I was not on social media at all yesterday and 771 00:37:06,600 --> 00:37:10,080 Speaker 7: someone hit me up about it, and yeah, it's uh, 772 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:15,160 Speaker 7: pretty crazy how quickly it can kind of all end. 773 00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 7: But I'm sure has more on that. 774 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I'm sorry, man, you cut out completely. 775 00:37:21,480 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, don't put that on me.

No, 779 00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:34,799 Speaker 6: I'm just messing with you. So, I mean, I was 780 00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 6: trying to say that I hope Chris Widman comes back 781 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,080 Speaker 6: and can go out on his terms and fight thrice 782 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,640 Speaker 6: in the UFC, if not more times, right, But I 783 00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 6: was sort of saying tongue in cheek as a joke. 784 00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:49,799 Speaker 6: One guy you should avoid is Roman Deledese. I don't 785 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 6: know if you saw what he was able to do 786 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 6: over the weekend against Jack Hermanson with this calf slicer 787 00:37:54,280 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 6: business and the TKO. But uh, no, I think this 788 00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:59,720 Speaker 6: guy's a real threat at one hundred and eighty five pounds. 789 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:00,360 Speaker 5: Uh. 790 00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,319 Speaker 6: In a division where a lot of guys have had 791 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 6: a couple of opportunities against at Asania, we now have 792 00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 6: a new champ and guys like Andre Muniz and dal 793 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 6: and Uh. I don't know. 794 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,120 Speaker 5: I think eighty five is fucking right. 795 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 2: What do you got? 796 00:38:14,560 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 4: Kenny?

That's what I get paid for. 805 00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:40,320 Speaker 4: You got you got superb energy and a gift with words. 806 00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:45,840 Speaker 4: I love it. No, Leslie, I thought started out his 807 00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,360 Speaker 4: career in the UFC a little slow, But man, is 808 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 4: he finding his groove. He looks like he's now. He's 809 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:54,440 Speaker 4: racked up a couple in a row. I think probably 810 00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,080 Speaker 4: a couple. I didn't even think he was gonna win, 811 00:38:56,239 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 4: and uh, man, I don't know he's he's ah, he 812 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,000 Speaker 4: looks like now he's a force to be reckoned with 813 00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:04,880 Speaker 4: for sure, And I can't slice. It was like some 814 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,879 Speaker 4: old school catch wrestling. Kenny. Yeah, that was pretty cool. 815 00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,760 Speaker 4: I've seen him, you know, they get got into different 816 00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 4: positions in that. But the way he looked it up 817 00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:16,799 Speaker 4: and stayed with it was pretty bad. Man. 818 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,080 Speaker 6: I do feel a little bit misunderstood by Ray Kenny. 819 00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 4: Right. 820 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 6: Cantankris means disagreeable to deal with contentious peevish, A cantankris argumentative. Man. 821 00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,640 Speaker 6: I'm just asking questions here and spoke to the conversation. 822 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,359 Speaker 4: It's a different tone today, though. 823 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:42,480 Speaker 5: Oh man, oh man, this guy hard man. I'm about 824 00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 5: to come up to Garden City, New York. 825 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,320 Speaker 6: Man, you know, settle this all right, So here's the question. 826 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 6: So Sergey Pavlovich outstanding heavyweight, Yeah, overwhelming power. I love 827 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 6: calling the guys fights, but if you're if you're preparing 828 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,240 Speaker 6: a heavyweight for a guy like this, obviously it depends 829 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,359 Speaker 6: on what heavy weight you have. But I don't I mean, 830 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:07,640 Speaker 6: I don't know. It's it's hard not to just fantasize 831 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,200 Speaker 6: about a fight between Sergey Pavlovich and Francis and Ghana 832 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:11,960 Speaker 6: because he's gonna go right at him. I mean, there's 833 00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,239 Speaker 6: a zero percent chance if Sergey Pavlovich fights Francis and 834 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,200 Speaker 6: Ghana that you get Francis and Gano versus Derek Lewis. Right, 835 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 6: So if you're training to fight against a guy to 836 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,120 Speaker 6: fight Sergey Pavlovich, how do you approach you know, fighting 837 00:40:25,160 --> 00:40:26,319 Speaker 6: a tractor trailer like that? 838 00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 4: But you you said that first off, what you said 839 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,080 Speaker 4: is key depending on what heavy weight you have. 840 00:40:33,440 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 6: Yeah, at that, all right, say you have Tom aspinall right, 841 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 6: try to take his ass down by any means necessary. 842 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:43,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, And well you got to look at the fight 843 00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:47,239 Speaker 4: and see what you know. Look, if you've got good footwork, 844 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 4: you know, he's a very linear fighter, so we don't 845 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 4: really know if he gets a slick sponsor in there, 846 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,080 Speaker 4: how he's going to look if a guy can make 847 00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 4: a miss and you know, spin him around and you know, 848 00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 4: like again use his angles. But uh, yeah, to meet 849 00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,919 Speaker 4: him straight in the middle. I mean, like, like you said, 850 00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,560 Speaker 4: who wouldn't want to see him in a ghano? 851 00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:05,400 Speaker 9: Right? 852 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:08,200 Speaker 4: Because somebody's going down and they're going down quick or 853 00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 4: you know, I don't think anybody anticipated what happened with 854 00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,680 Speaker 4: Derek Lewis and Gano that first fight, right, Yeah, you know, 855 00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:17,680 Speaker 4: maybe that's what that power does to you. You know, 856 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,799 Speaker 4: maybe it's stifles in too, but it doesn't look that way. 857 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 4: It looks like he's he's coming right at you. So 858 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,440 Speaker 4: I'd love to see that fight. That would be a 859 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:26,920 Speaker 4: great fight, see. 860 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:30,560 Speaker 6: If I was handicapping Pavlovitch. Moving forward, though, I would 861 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 6: like to have more octagon time with which to work, right, 862 00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,360 Speaker 6: just to see how maybe he responds to the stool 863 00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:39,000 Speaker 6: or some recent adversity which we don't necessarily have. 864 00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:42,760 Speaker 5: TJ. 865 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,240 Speaker 6: Dillashaw announced his retirement. Cody would like me to get 866 00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:48,759 Speaker 6: with you on that. I don't know why. You know, 867 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:52,360 Speaker 6: it's really interesting, right I saw him right after the fight, 868 00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,000 Speaker 6: and he really seemed firm in his desire to not 869 00:41:57,120 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 6: go out like that. But I think it's point you 870 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 6: just sort of give into your body, and obviously he 871 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,640 Speaker 6: abused his in more ways than one, and unfortunately for him, 872 00:42:06,640 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 6: that's a big part of his legacy. I mean, certainly 873 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,759 Speaker 6: skill for skill, hart for heart. I have a lot 874 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,719 Speaker 6: of respect for the legacy first ray and then can flow. 875 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:16,120 Speaker 6: Any thoughts on Dila Shaw before we move on? 876 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I listen. I think honestly, I think it's 877 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:21,359 Speaker 4: a smart move. I think he's been through a lot 878 00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:24,920 Speaker 4: of turmoil in the last couple of years and he's 879 00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 4: probably better off just finding another path in life, you know, 880 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:31,960 Speaker 4: do I think he's successful with one of those ventures, 881 00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:34,399 Speaker 4: So that's what I would stick with. But yeah, he's 882 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 4: put his body through a lot. He was a champion. 883 00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:40,920 Speaker 4: I don't think he's got anything to prove, you know, 884 00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 4: he's got to overcome the stigma of how he became 885 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,960 Speaker 4: a champion, which I think affects his legacy, you know, hugely. 886 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:51,920 Speaker 4: But I think, I don't know. I think it's a 887 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 4: smart move. I think that's a very smart move. 888 00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:59,680 Speaker 7: Can flow, and that's kind of luck what we talked 889 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:03,680 Speaker 7: about with with fighters that hang out, hang around for 890 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:05,879 Speaker 7: too long and they don't get the results they want. 891 00:43:06,520 --> 00:43:10,759 Speaker 7: I think, you know, for TJ, people are always going 892 00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:16,040 Speaker 7: to remember him more for the EPO incident and that stuff, 893 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:19,719 Speaker 7: his last performances, his last couple of performances than what 894 00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 7: he did prior to that, you know, for better or worse, 895 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,799 Speaker 7: and you know, it's kind of it's unfortunate because he 896 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 7: really was a highly skilled fighter, a very sport fighter 897 00:43:31,120 --> 00:43:34,320 Speaker 7: who had a great pedigree. But it all can crumble 898 00:43:34,400 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 7: down so quickly, whether it's by some of the unfortunate 899 00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 7: decisions you make outside of the cage, or you know, 900 00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:45,360 Speaker 7: an injury and he will kind of be remembered from both. 901 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:49,000 Speaker 7: It can all crumble down so quickly. So it really 902 00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,600 Speaker 7: is important that you know, for a fighter, you're making 903 00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:54,760 Speaker 7: the right decisions inside and outside of the cage, taking 904 00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,040 Speaker 7: care of your body the best that you can, making 905 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:59,879 Speaker 7: the right decisions and taking fights, not taking fights get 906 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:03,000 Speaker 7: surgeris when you need to, and not letting things accrue 907 00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,200 Speaker 7: and build up over time, and now you have this 908 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,879 Speaker 7: shortened career. I think it was the right choice for him, 909 00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 7: just given the circumstances of what's been going on. He's 910 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:14,080 Speaker 7: already been a champion in the sport, and I think 911 00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,680 Speaker 7: there's a lot to learn from watching TJ. Dillashoff fights 912 00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:19,440 Speaker 7: if you're a fighter out there. But there's also a 913 00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,040 Speaker 7: lot to learn of what not to do as well. 914 00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:23,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, really, well, put let me he's jump in the 915 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,239 Speaker 4: I agree it's the situation and the circumstances is why 916 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,719 Speaker 4: I'm saying I think it's a small move because, like 917 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:35,520 Speaker 4: well Kenny said, moving forward, he's lost a couple and 918 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 4: he's always going to be stigmatized for the epos, the 919 00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,399 Speaker 4: p d s and but whatever he did b PO. 920 00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 4: But and that's it. I think you're better off getting 921 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:51,680 Speaker 4: out and hoping people we'll forget, just move on with 922 00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:52,920 Speaker 4: another venture. 923 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 6: Yeah. No, I mean life hits hard. Oftentimes I find 924 00:44:57,040 --> 00:45:01,239 Speaker 6: myself saying to my wife, you know, one mistake here 925 00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:05,000 Speaker 6: or there just changes everything. You know, things are so fragile, 926 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,600 Speaker 6: you know, look at the circumstances in James Kraus's life 927 00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:09,920 Speaker 6: right now, right as a father of two, just to 928 00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,480 Speaker 6: sort of put that out there. But in terms of 929 00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:17,279 Speaker 6: really quickly, Kenny of TJ. Dillashaw's perceived greatness and his 930 00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 6: work ethic right at the very least, the metal he 931 00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 6: showed in beating Corey Sandhagen and coming back obviously and 932 00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 6: getting through all of those tests, right, does it not 933 00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 6: at least give him some peace of mind in retirement 934 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 6: because candidly, like this whole circumstance, you can't quantify how 935 00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,960 Speaker 6: many years it'll take off a TJ. Dillashaw's life in 936 00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:39,040 Speaker 6: terms of the emotional and mental tax that his decisions 937 00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:41,760 Speaker 6: have have had on himself. 938 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:42,080 Speaker 4: Right. 939 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:44,960 Speaker 6: But I'm just saying like, at least for him, if 940 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,760 Speaker 6: you're looking to lean into something, right, he did prove 941 00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,719 Speaker 6: and coming back against the San Haagen, whom we all 942 00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,160 Speaker 6: love and admire as a fighter. Right, I mean, at 943 00:45:53,200 --> 00:45:54,080 Speaker 6: least he has that. 944 00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,560 Speaker 2: John, I think that's fair. 945 00:45:55,760 --> 00:45:59,040 Speaker 7: You know, it's also how you're able to come back 946 00:45:59,400 --> 00:46:03,040 Speaker 7: from dealing with adversity, and he showed that he can 947 00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:03,640 Speaker 7: come back. 948 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:04,800 Speaker 2: He can compete clean. 949 00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:08,880 Speaker 7: He has the mindset and the skills to beat a 950 00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,200 Speaker 7: lot of people in that sport, even up to this 951 00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,840 Speaker 7: point with all the wrestling he's done, all the combat 952 00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:16,400 Speaker 7: sports that he's done over the years. To see him 953 00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 7: still compete that well on coming back after all that 954 00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,360 Speaker 7: negativity and all that adversity, I think is something he 955 00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,279 Speaker 7: can lean on and at least be proud of it. 956 00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:27,319 Speaker 2: In that regard, I. 957 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,640 Speaker 6: Kind of liked this early morning long ago. You know, 958 00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:31,000 Speaker 6: he's like, how long we going? 959 00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:32,600 Speaker 5: How long we going? 960 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 4: Now? 961 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 6: Well, Francis Marshall, Kirk Pellegrino is going back to Francis 962 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 6: fire Marshall made his UFC debut. He's twenty three years old. 963 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,600 Speaker 6: He started taking privates with Kurt Pellegrino at fourteen. Had 964 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:53,239 Speaker 6: a cup of coffee in the Ring of combat promotion. Ray, 965 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,279 Speaker 6: how do you know this? Francis Marshall cat at all? 966 00:46:55,360 --> 00:47:02,000 Speaker 6: And I don't know if Yeah, Cody just lacking patients, 967 00:47:02,040 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 6: just squeezed Ray right out of the shot. I don't 968 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,920 Speaker 6: blame it, Cody. We're not going to deal with it. 969 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 6: We dealt with the tardiness off the top. And here 970 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 6: come the minute, man, right, here come all the all 971 00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:12,840 Speaker 6: this show's about.

But man, she's a really good fighter, 978 00:47:28,880 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 6: and her husband Adam deserves a lot of credit in 979 00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,840 Speaker 6: terms of the skill development.

Now I'm an audio guy, right, 1051 00:50:58,800 --> 00:51:01,880 Speaker 5: So when the popping started, I was like, John's about 1052 00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:05,480 Speaker 5: the fuck that's it. You handled it well because it 1053 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:08,560 Speaker 5: was very distracting, But that was that was just gold 1054 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,760 Speaker 5: right there, because I mean, it's Ray So it's funny. 1055 00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,960 Speaker 6: But I'm the bad guy, right. This is my personal 1056 00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:16,880 Speaker 6: life as well. I'm always the bad guy somehow, someway, 1057 00:51:16,920 --> 00:51:20,279 Speaker 6: I'm the fucking bad guy, right, Yep. I don't even 1058 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 6: know what he said. All right, So before we get 1059 00:51:23,600 --> 00:51:25,760 Speaker 6: moving on here, Brian, I know you had an active 1060 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:29,320 Speaker 6: board for the UFC Fight Night in Orlando. Any tickets 1061 00:51:29,360 --> 00:51:31,360 Speaker 6: that you're particularly proud of or anything you want to 1062 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,560 Speaker 6: talk about from last week before we get to the 1063 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:34,080 Speaker 6: pay per view. 1064 00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, so I give out a parlay. I missed the 1065 00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,800 Speaker 5: parlay by one fight. But then I have a lock partlay. 1066 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:40,399 Speaker 5: I give up three locks on my on my car 1067 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,520 Speaker 5: to give a dog to send him home, which actually 1068 00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,880 Speaker 5: stole from you, John. I apologize, and then and then 1069 00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:47,799 Speaker 5: a mortal lock I cast that, and then I hit 1070 00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:50,360 Speaker 5: RDA by sub. I just had a really good feeling 1071 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:51,840 Speaker 5: that's what he was going to do. Is you go 1072 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:55,200 Speaker 5: to take Barberina down, who hasn't been subs to twenty ten. 1073 00:51:55,239 --> 00:51:57,200 Speaker 5: But he hasn't funny me like Rdier right, and and 1074 00:51:57,320 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 5: RDA is not gonna do the fucking you know, Homer 1075 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,120 Speaker 5: Simpson until you break your hand. He's gonna take him 1076 00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:03,799 Speaker 5: down on some of them. And it was a masterclass 1077 00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,399 Speaker 5: by Hafidosanos, and uh yeah it was. It was that. 1078 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,640 Speaker 5: So I kept it really short, short card for me 1079 00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,560 Speaker 5: going to Vegas, and we spent a lot of money 1080 00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:15,120 Speaker 5: in Vegas this weekend, so I just kept it, kept 1081 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:16,600 Speaker 5: it a little short. But I did hit some plays, 1082 00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 5: so that's good. 1083 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:20,359 Speaker 6: So, Kenny, when I suggest that it's like a jiu 1084 00:52:20,520 --> 00:52:25,160 Speaker 6: jitsu training camp for Hafayel Dosanjos, do you think that 1085 00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:27,839 Speaker 6: like the big focus for him and Andre Peternais there 1086 00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:31,200 Speaker 6: real quickly is in that matchup right, like that we're 1087 00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,640 Speaker 6: gonna this is the strategy. We're just gonna simultaneous whatever 1088 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,840 Speaker 6: it takes right to get the fight there. And thereby 1089 00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:41,600 Speaker 6: like they do not significantly per se, but a lot 1090 00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:44,200 Speaker 6: less striking than maybe they would. They talked about like 1091 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:47,520 Speaker 6: he's doing these abbreviated four to five week training camps 1092 00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:49,400 Speaker 6: right now, and I just got to think, I mean, 1093 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:52,000 Speaker 6: he's got the striking repetition. He fucking probably striking in 1094 00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,320 Speaker 6: his sleep. Like I don't know, I just feel like 1095 00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,040 Speaker 6: man jiu jitsu all day, fucking grind, take him down, 1096 00:52:58,200 --> 00:52:59,160 Speaker 6: fucking choke him out. 1097 00:52:59,320 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 2: Now, that was clear. That was the clear path, John. 1098 00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:05,760 Speaker 7: I think that if you're talking about approach and playing 1099 00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,880 Speaker 7: it safe and playing to your strengths and exposing the 1100 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 7: weaknesses and vulnerabilities of your opponents as you should be 1101 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:15,720 Speaker 7: approaching it, that was the smart That was a smart approach. 1102 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,320 Speaker 7: I think this is voting well for him, especially given 1103 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,040 Speaker 7: his age and his experience level at this point, and 1104 00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,560 Speaker 7: clearly it worked out. 1105 00:53:22,680 --> 00:53:25,840 Speaker 6: I love it. I like one of minus five forty favorite, 1106 00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:27,600 Speaker 6: and I have a lot of respect for Barbarina, of course, 1107 00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:29,520 Speaker 6: but I like one of minus five forty favorite, and 1108 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:31,800 Speaker 6: good on you. What was the price on the submission ticket? 1109 00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:34,640 Speaker 5: It was like plus three twenty is what I got it, Undrea. 1110 00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:35,080 Speaker 4: That's wow. 1111 00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,600 Speaker 5: It's crazy because Barbarina hadn't been you know, he hadn't 1112 00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:40,840 Speaker 5: been tested in RDA. As good as he is, you 1113 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,840 Speaker 5: don't really see him. And I think his last submission 1114 00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,880 Speaker 5: was maybe magny at least at one seventy. 1115 00:53:45,239 --> 00:53:48,799 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, Andre Peternais is a gangster, all right. So 1116 00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,879 Speaker 6: Santiago Ponzinibio at UFC two eighty two was to face 1117 00:53:51,960 --> 00:53:54,600 Speaker 6: Robbi Lawler. Instead it will be the Great White Alex 1118 00:53:54,680 --> 00:53:56,880 Speaker 6: Morono who steps in and they'll fight at a catchweight 1119 00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:58,839 Speaker 6: of one hundred and eighty pounds. So we're not going 1120 00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:00,480 Speaker 6: to pick that fight here today as part of the 1121 00:54:00,480 --> 00:54:04,000 Speaker 6: main event challenge. I will say I feel for Ponzanibo. 1122 00:54:04,080 --> 00:54:06,560 Speaker 6: He's been looking for that big name opponent in a 1123 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,879 Speaker 6: big name fight, and it goes away here. During fight 1124 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:11,480 Speaker 6: week I did text him and he said it's part 1125 00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 6: of the game. It seems to be handling it. Well, 1126 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,840 Speaker 6: all right, we're gonna begin with a prelim that is 1127 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 6: actually the one that is getting Brian Petrie to Las 1128 00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 6: Vegas to see his guy, Chris Curtis, Chris Action Man Curtis. 1129 00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,800 Speaker 6: Why I want to talk to you about the nickname? 1130 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,120 Speaker 6: Why do we not a put it on the front 1131 00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:32,680 Speaker 6: and be out of the It should be the action man. 1132 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:37,600 Speaker 6: Chris Curtis would be Chris Action Man Curtis.

Dom Steele had his own nickname, 1140 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,160 Speaker 5: and then Chris went Action Man. I think the it 1141 00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:01,960 Speaker 5: was great, but when I first met him, when I 1142 00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,960 Speaker 5: first started training him, it was the King of Combat. 1143 00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:06,279 Speaker 5: That was his nickname then and he still kind of 1144 00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:08,799 Speaker 5: goes by that time to time we got to iron 1145 00:55:08,880 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 5: off the nicknames.

I 1169 00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:17,759 Speaker 5: feel like I got pictures and red string going all 1170 00:56:17,760 --> 00:56:20,319 Speaker 5: over the place. I've been studying Buckley since this fight 1171 00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:23,560 Speaker 5: got announced. You know, I'm all in Christie. Actually, mccurtis 1172 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:24,840 Speaker 5: a good friend of mine. If you don't know, we 1173 00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:26,800 Speaker 5: trained together. He save my Live, blah blah blah. A 1174 00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,880 Speaker 5: great guy. I'm gonna see him for the first time 1175 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,560 Speaker 5: in a long time since he actually did my He 1176 00:56:30,560 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 5: was like the first guest in my podcast. Anyway. He's 1177 00:56:33,160 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 5: seven to one. When I'm in the building. I've seen 1178 00:56:35,040 --> 00:56:38,680 Speaker 5: him fight eight live, eight times live. The only loss 1179 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:43,160 Speaker 5: was to one immeasurable La Muhamma and Valparaiso, Indiana a 1180 00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,640 Speaker 5: long time ago. Yeah, yeah, that's right. So basically what 1181 00:56:46,680 --> 00:56:49,080 Speaker 5: I'm saying is Hockey Buckley's fucked because I'm in the building. 1182 00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,360 Speaker 5: He's easy gonna be fucked. But no, I love the 1183 00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,600 Speaker 5: matchup for Chris because Chris is a little undersized for 1184 00:56:53,640 --> 00:56:55,759 Speaker 5: eighty five. He's not the biggest guy. He's bricked up. 1185 00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,680 Speaker 5: So jaquem Buckley the same Hikeder listened at five ten. 1186 00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 5: I don't think they're five ten, but this is a 1187 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,319 Speaker 5: good matchup for me. He's coming off the loss of 1188 00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,680 Speaker 5: Jack Hermanson and it was a frustrating loss. He lost 1189 00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:08,480 Speaker 5: a little bit of emotion, you know, his emotions got 1190 00:57:08,480 --> 00:57:10,520 Speaker 5: the best of them. Her Manson had a really good 1191 00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,200 Speaker 5: game plan and it kind of just kind of fell 1192 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,799 Speaker 5: apart on him there. And then right after the Rivera fight, though, 1193 00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 5: Buckley called out Chris after spending weeks training with him 1194 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,480 Speaker 5: in Vegas, and Chris was like, what, like, so, I 1195 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,680 Speaker 5: know Chris has a little bit of a chip. I 1196 00:57:22,800 --> 00:57:25,840 Speaker 5: know there's been some talks that no one's shooting for takedowns, 1197 00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:28,040 Speaker 5: which in thirty eight pro fights, I don't think Chris 1198 00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:29,680 Speaker 5: is shot for one takedown. I mean, you can fact 1199 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,200 Speaker 5: check me, but I'm pretty sure it's not. But it's simple. 1200 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:36,080 Speaker 5: I think Chris is cleaner walking Buckley's big actions. Everything's 1201 00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,640 Speaker 5: big with him, and Chris's vision defense and boxing's very 1202 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,640 Speaker 5: very clean. I like him to kick a little more. 1203 00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:42,880 Speaker 5: I don't want to get too emotional because he got 1204 00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:44,560 Speaker 5: really emotional with Ray Cooper fight and it's the only 1205 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,400 Speaker 5: time he's ever been knocked out Hockey. Buckley does have 1206 00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,480 Speaker 5: big knockout power, but when you see him fight a 1207 00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,960 Speaker 5: really clean striker in his last fight against him and off, 1208 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,760 Speaker 5: he tends to be able to get red because of 1209 00:57:53,760 --> 00:57:56,320 Speaker 5: the big action. It's a big power. Everything's coming big. 1210 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,440 Speaker 5: Nothing's super tight and clean, and I think Chris, and 1211 00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:01,720 Speaker 5: with buck not being a good CounterPunch, I think Chris 1212 00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:03,840 Speaker 5: is gonna be able to march forward and really put 1213 00:58:03,920 --> 00:58:06,200 Speaker 5: on the show here. He starts slow, so I'm looking 1214 00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:10,320 Speaker 5: for a third round finish here, and I'm a single 1215 00:58:10,440 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 5: unit guy. I don't do over three units. Mostly. The 1216 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,400 Speaker 5: biggest loss I ever had was six units against Izzy 1217 00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:19,760 Speaker 5: in Yambohovich. This is a ten unit play for your boy. 1218 00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:22,720 Speaker 5: I'm putting ten units on Chris Curtis. I'm all in. 1219 00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,000 Speaker 5: He's dog money. I'm so confident. That's the first thing 1220 00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:27,760 Speaker 5: I'm doing when I get the check into my hotels, 1221 00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:31,439 Speaker 5: go in the sportsbook place, not bet drinks all me boys, 1222 00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:32,600 Speaker 5: Chris Curtis all the way. 1223 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:37,360 Speaker 6: Four figure bet on Chris Curtis. For his guy Brian 1224 00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:39,760 Speaker 6: Petrie or excuse me, for his guy, Chris Curtis. I 1225 00:58:39,800 --> 00:58:42,560 Speaker 6: like both of these guys. Kenny Action Man twenty nine 1226 00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,160 Speaker 6: to nine overall is a pro. Your thoughts on him. 1227 00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 6: Here's the dog against Joaquin Buckley. 1228 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:48,880 Speaker 2: I think that's going to be an interesting fight. 1229 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 7: I think for me, the difference is going to be footwork, 1230 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,400 Speaker 7: and I think that's where Chris kind of struggles a 1231 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,640 Speaker 7: little bit. He's a little flat footed, he's not light 1232 00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:00,520 Speaker 7: on his feet, tends to kind of move in straight 1233 00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:03,240 Speaker 7: lines a little bit. And what I've seen from Joquing 1234 00:59:03,320 --> 00:59:05,120 Speaker 7: Buckley is much better footwork. 1235 00:59:05,160 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 2: He circles well, he. 1236 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:08,800 Speaker 7: Knows how to get in and get out, and he 1237 00:59:08,840 --> 00:59:12,440 Speaker 7: knows how to maximize what he has as far as skills. 1238 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:14,440 Speaker 7: I think it's going to be a very close fight. 1239 00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:18,120 Speaker 7: I don't see Buckley knocking out Curtis, but I do 1240 00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:20,800 Speaker 7: agree with Brian that in some ways, you know, Curtis 1241 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 7: could finish Buckley, however, but I just don't see it happening. 1242 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:29,000 Speaker 7: I think Chris needs to get into range first, and 1243 00:59:29,040 --> 00:59:32,840 Speaker 7: I just don't see that happening repeatedly where he's able 1244 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:36,800 Speaker 7: to trap Buckley and land the big shots. I think 1245 00:59:36,800 --> 00:59:39,080 Speaker 7: Buckley is going to be a little bit faster as well. 1246 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 7: Uh So I like Buckley here. I think it's going 1247 00:59:41,960 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 7: to be closed. I think it goes to decision. Give 1248 00:59:44,360 --> 00:59:46,000 Speaker 7: me wauquing Buckley here all. 1249 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,240 Speaker 6: You have to double your bet two k. 1250 00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,439 Speaker 5: Now the comments are Kenny Kenny and I agree too much. 1251 00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 6: Not now see Kenny has that like lab Mic now. 1252 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:59,960 Speaker 5: On a ship's fancy. 1253 01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 6: Oh Jesus man, I had to step in my game. 1254 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:03,560 Speaker 5: It was bad for a little while, all right. 1255 01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 6: Next fight for US is going to be a heavyweight prelim, 1256 01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,840 Speaker 6: the feature prelim at that, at least as the card 1257 01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 6: stands right now. Biggie boyd Jarzenio Rosenstrike minus one seventy 1258 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,640 Speaker 6: Chris Dacas plus one forty five we'll see if I 1259 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:18,120 Speaker 6: Doacas can pick up the Daccas brothers after Kyle lost 1260 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,880 Speaker 6: over the weekend. Speaking of Chris the heavyweight, he's been 1261 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,880 Speaker 6: humbled and too straight by contenders Derek Lewis and Curtis Blades. 1262 01:00:23,920 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 6: That came after he started four and oh in the 1263 01:00:25,760 --> 01:00:30,720 Speaker 6: UFC with as many knockouts. On the other side, his 1264 01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:32,840 Speaker 6: opponent has started four and oh in the UFC with 1265 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,640 Speaker 6: as many knockouts as well. But tough times for both guys. 1266 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:37,280 Speaker 6: They both neede a win. Bry which way you go 1267 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:40,040 Speaker 6: in here? Rosen Strike the favorite, Dacas the underdog. 1268 01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:42,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree with that. They both need to win. 1269 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:44,880 Speaker 5: The heavily division is pretty wide open in the In 1270 01:00:44,920 --> 01:00:48,080 Speaker 5: the it's a thin division, so they keep fun fighters around, right, 1271 01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:51,000 Speaker 5: Chase Sherman's on the roster because he's a fun fighter. 1272 01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:51,440 Speaker 2: Now. 1273 01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,400 Speaker 5: Rosa Strike has laid some eggs out there, right. He 1274 01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:56,760 Speaker 5: has all the tools in the power, but sometimes he 1275 01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:58,800 Speaker 5: goes out there and it's a little flat. I think 1276 01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,960 Speaker 5: he's coming out and going for because he's had Daucas's 1277 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,400 Speaker 5: chin's been cracked the last two times out. I don't 1278 01:01:03,440 --> 01:01:05,680 Speaker 5: know how you don't go out and be aggressive with 1279 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:08,320 Speaker 5: a kickboxing record against a guy who's probably good to 1280 01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,600 Speaker 5: try to grapple you. Dawcas has an advantage on the ground. 1281 01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:13,240 Speaker 5: But how good is his wrestling? You know, I know 1282 01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 5: he's a black belt. What he needs to do is 1283 01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:17,000 Speaker 5: he goes in the closet, grab the black belt in 1284 01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 5: the back of the closet, dust it off because he's 1285 01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:22,200 Speaker 5: gonna need it for this one. Because rosas Truck's power, 1286 01:01:22,520 --> 01:01:24,400 Speaker 5: you don't have to hit you cleanly to hurt you. 1287 01:01:24,880 --> 01:01:27,640 Speaker 5: And with the confidence level of Daucas right now, I'm 1288 01:01:27,680 --> 01:01:29,560 Speaker 5: a little worried about it getting slept, but he's been 1289 01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:32,520 Speaker 5: slept by two really good guys, so maybe he's not 1290 01:01:32,680 --> 01:01:34,680 Speaker 5: two down on himself. I don't know how mental tough 1291 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,280 Speaker 5: he is. This is the way I was gonna take 1292 01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:38,480 Speaker 5: a dog shop because I really don't like Rosastruck all 1293 01:01:38,480 --> 01:01:43,440 Speaker 5: that much. But you know, it's heavyweights, little gloves, little punches. 1294 01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,480 Speaker 5: I don't know how good daucas is wrestling is. I'm 1295 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:48,800 Speaker 5: gonna go Roasastruck by Kale, but I don't love it. 1296 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:53,200 Speaker 6: Kenny Chargino Rosenstrike, as I mentioned, started four to zero 1297 01:01:53,200 --> 01:01:55,680 Speaker 6: in the UFC. Since he's lost four of six. Stop 1298 01:01:55,680 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 6: by Alexander Volkov in round one. That was his last fight, 1299 01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,640 Speaker 6: you and fourth what was his fourth UFC main event. 1300 01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:03,440 Speaker 6: But yeah, I think rosen Strike he kind of got 1301 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 6: to go balls to the wall and you know, try 1302 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,480 Speaker 6: to knock Doccas's head off. What do you think about 1303 01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:08,320 Speaker 6: the heavyweight skid? 1304 01:02:08,720 --> 01:02:11,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, he's got to do something. And you know Doccas 1305 01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,560 Speaker 7: is probably in a tough place too, But we got 1306 01:02:13,560 --> 01:02:15,520 Speaker 7: to talk about roses Strike. He's in a tough place 1307 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:19,640 Speaker 7: as well. You know, lost his last two fights. Hasn't 1308 01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:24,040 Speaker 7: gone well for him. I think that, you know, he 1309 01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:26,920 Speaker 7: has shown toughness in the past, you know, especially against 1310 01:02:26,920 --> 01:02:29,560 Speaker 7: Curtis Blades, who is a tough matchup for anyone in 1311 01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:32,960 Speaker 7: the headweight division. And I couldn't agree more with Brian 1312 01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 7: Doccas has to go out there and take him down. 1313 01:02:36,360 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 7: Is he a great wrestler. I don't think so. But 1314 01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 7: is he good enough to take rosen Strike down? I 1315 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,720 Speaker 7: think so so. I think that he's got to play 1316 01:02:43,720 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 7: it smart here, has to pick and choose when and 1317 01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,720 Speaker 7: where he strikes with rosen Strike. I like him in 1318 01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 7: the underdog spot here, take him down and look for 1319 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:55,040 Speaker 7: a win on the ground. 1320 01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:59,560 Speaker 6: Chris love it all right, next up, huge fight at featherweight. 1321 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:02,320 Speaker 6: I think I actually got chills a little bit. This 1322 01:03:02,360 --> 01:03:06,320 Speaker 6: one's on pay per view. Fourteenth ranked Ilia Topuria minus 1323 01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:09,680 Speaker 6: one forty five, number nine Bryce Mitchell the plus one 1324 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,680 Speaker 6: twenty five underdog on Draftking Sportsbook. 1325 01:03:11,760 --> 01:03:12,160 Speaker 4: Right now. 1326 01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 6: Topouria really has a way about him and a wisdom 1327 01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,360 Speaker 6: that belies his age. He's twenty five years old, He's 1328 01:03:18,400 --> 01:03:20,439 Speaker 6: twelve and oh four and know in the UFC, Bryce 1329 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 6: Mitchell's fifteen and one twenty seven and one combined. For 1330 01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:27,320 Speaker 6: these guys, Kenny neither man has tasted defeat in the UFC. 1331 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,560 Speaker 6: Something has got to give Mitchell Topuria flow willly with 1332 01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:33,440 Speaker 6: you which way you go in here with the featherweights. 1333 01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,760 Speaker 7: Extremely interesting fight. I love this fight. I'm so glad 1334 01:03:37,960 --> 01:03:41,400 Speaker 7: it's come to fruition. Bryce has been looking for a 1335 01:03:41,400 --> 01:03:44,080 Speaker 7: big fight, and I think this is just that. Ilia 1336 01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:47,960 Speaker 7: Topouria is a guy that has shown his toughness in 1337 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,240 Speaker 7: the past. You know, he has shown that he can 1338 01:03:51,240 --> 01:03:53,640 Speaker 7: come back from adversity. He knows how to deal with that. 1339 01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:56,920 Speaker 7: There are times where I see him a little tentative 1340 01:03:56,920 --> 01:04:00,280 Speaker 7: and he waits, and sometimes he needs to get hit 1341 01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 7: or rocked to get back into the fight. You don't 1342 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,400 Speaker 7: want to do that again. Someone like Bryce Mitchell. Mitchell 1343 01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,960 Speaker 7: is a finisher through and through. He's a guy that 1344 01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:12,280 Speaker 7: once he has you hurt, he will take advantage of that. 1345 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:17,760 Speaker 7: And I think that Bryce has tools on the ground 1346 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,080 Speaker 7: as well where he can give to Pouria a lot 1347 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:24,000 Speaker 7: of trouble. However, I think that to Pouria, if he 1348 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,920 Speaker 7: goes out there and fight smart, I think to Pouria 1349 01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:27,880 Speaker 7: wins this fight. 1350 01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 2: I think he's a little cleaner with his striking. 1351 01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,440 Speaker 7: I think his wrestling is good enough to stop some 1352 01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:36,640 Speaker 7: of those double legs or at least a just over 1353 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,960 Speaker 7: time to Bryce Mitchell's takedowns. I think Bryce is a 1354 01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:45,919 Speaker 7: good takedown artist because of his speed, he has very 1355 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 7: good timing. He knows how to get in on your legs. 1356 01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,160 Speaker 7: But I don't know this. This is the trickiest fight 1357 01:04:53,240 --> 01:04:55,959 Speaker 7: for me on the card. I think of who to pick, 1358 01:04:56,520 --> 01:05:00,880 Speaker 7: but I like Iliot Tapouria here to win this fight. 1359 01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:03,640 Speaker 7: I love Bryce Mitchell, I love what he's doing out there, 1360 01:05:05,400 --> 01:05:07,160 Speaker 7: and I would love to see him win this fight. 1361 01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 7: But I think this is a tough one for him 1362 01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,320 Speaker 7: here against Toporia. 1363 01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,440 Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean this, I'm gonna keep rolling since John's 1364 01:05:14,480 --> 01:05:16,080 Speaker 5: off the scream here, but we'll just keep going. 1365 01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:16,680 Speaker 6: Uh. 1366 01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:19,240 Speaker 5: This fight's incredible. I mean, I mean every time, you 1367 01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:20,840 Speaker 5: know what, every time I think of Bryce Mitchell, I 1368 01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:22,880 Speaker 5: think of when he gets on the microphone. Every time 1369 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:24,720 Speaker 5: I get on his microphone, I'm mnta say, Arkansas. I 1370 01:05:24,760 --> 01:05:27,280 Speaker 5: think it's just the best thing ever. I couldn't be 1371 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:30,960 Speaker 5: further from different from each other. There's a UFC produced 1372 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:34,160 Speaker 5: video where Bryce Mitchell's feeding his cows and water and 1373 01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:35,920 Speaker 5: his cows and Torporio is getting his haircut for the 1374 01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:38,360 Speaker 5: fourth time that week and getting his beard trimmed up. 1375 01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:41,120 Speaker 5: You know, it's a pretty boys in Spain. I love 1376 01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,240 Speaker 5: this fight and I think both fighters are really good. 1377 01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,360 Speaker 5: Lover hate him. Bryce Mitchell is a good fighter. He's 1378 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,360 Speaker 5: almost a throwback fighter, you know what I mean, Like, 1379 01:05:47,720 --> 01:05:50,400 Speaker 5: you know what he's gonna do, and it's hard to 1380 01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:52,800 Speaker 5: stop it. Like Edson Barboza went in there knowing, I 1381 01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 5: gotta stop this guy's stak down. I'm a demolism on 1382 01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,480 Speaker 5: the feet, got dropped on the feet and then just 1383 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,200 Speaker 5: couldn't hand him on the ground. To Worrio though, is 1384 01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:02,360 Speaker 5: that if you ask him my Twitter to Poria. Is 1385 01:06:02,760 --> 01:06:05,200 Speaker 5: he's already the champion. They love this guy. They're looking 1386 01:06:05,240 --> 01:06:07,920 Speaker 5: at this load number, they're loading up. I'm not surprised 1387 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,400 Speaker 5: if he gets higher here as a fight week goes on, 1388 01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,040 Speaker 5: because he has all the towns, or he's twenty five 1389 01:06:12,080 --> 01:06:15,520 Speaker 5: years old. He's been impressive. Greca Roman background kind has 1390 01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,200 Speaker 5: trained all over, was in Georgia, now in Spain. But 1391 01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 5: I question is he drinking his own compliment juice just 1392 01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,120 Speaker 5: a little bit too much? Right? And that could be 1393 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:26,160 Speaker 5: a good thing because then you can get this air 1394 01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,840 Speaker 5: of invincibility. You're a young guy. You can go, hey, 1395 01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,080 Speaker 5: I'm untouchable, or maybe he thinks he's untouchable. And then 1396 01:06:32,080 --> 01:06:34,240 Speaker 5: he's going against a guy named Bryce Mitchell who's going 1397 01:06:34,320 --> 01:06:37,200 Speaker 5: to come in there and ruin all that. To Poria 1398 01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,440 Speaker 5: is better on the feet. I think he's more powerful. 1399 01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,720 Speaker 5: I think he's faster. I think he's explosive. He does 1400 01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:44,840 Speaker 5: have a good Greka Roman background. With that being said, 1401 01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:46,640 Speaker 5: he should clean up in round one and we should 1402 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 5: go have drinks by, you know, by the main event 1403 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,280 Speaker 5: right now. Wrong, that's a wrong because this is MMA 1404 01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,120 Speaker 5: and then tangibles matter, and I think Bryce Mitchell is 1405 01:06:55,160 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 5: going to go in there with his Camo shorts, and 1406 01:06:57,320 --> 01:06:58,880 Speaker 5: I think he's going to push a pace that to 1407 01:06:58,960 --> 01:07:00,400 Speaker 5: PORI doesn't like. I think it's it's going to be 1408 01:07:00,440 --> 01:07:04,160 Speaker 5: a very scary first round for Bryce Mitchell. And then 1409 01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 5: when ta Poria meets meets that second round if he 1410 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 5: survived a lot of the onslaught that Bryce brings, the 1411 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,320 Speaker 5: pressure of the wrestling, the grappling, and this overall Cardio 1412 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,880 Speaker 5: because Bryce is Cardio is elite. We'll see what kind 1413 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:17,920 Speaker 5: of fighter he is because everyone's already crowning him as 1414 01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:19,760 Speaker 5: the next CHAMPI at one forty five. With that being said, 1415 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:21,520 Speaker 5: I'm going Bryce Mitchell. I'm locked in on him. I've 1416 01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,400 Speaker 5: been bouncing back forth all week. I think to Pooria 1417 01:07:24,520 --> 01:07:27,400 Speaker 5: is highly skilled, but I'm gonna go old school Bryce 1418 01:07:27,440 --> 01:07:29,880 Speaker 5: Mitchell for a decision win. I don't think there's gonna 1419 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:31,680 Speaker 5: be a finish here. I think it's gonna be a 1420 01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:32,160 Speaker 5: decision win. 1421 01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:35,160 Speaker 4: All right. 1422 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:36,960 Speaker 6: Sorry, I'm on my phone for the rest of the show. 1423 01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,760 Speaker 6: My WiFi just went at my house, so bear with 1424 01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:41,720 Speaker 6: me whatever it takes to get the rest of the 1425 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:45,040 Speaker 6: show and the can Fellas. At middleweight, Dracus du plus 1426 01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:49,600 Speaker 6: b minus one sixty five Darren Till plus one forty 1427 01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,200 Speaker 6: Till back for the first time in more than a year. 1428 01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 6: He was submitted by Derek Runson September twenty twenty one. 1429 01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,800 Speaker 6: His opponent here of the South African pretty violent VP. 1430 01:07:58,960 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 6: Who do you have here? 1431 01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:00,400 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1432 01:08:00,440 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 5: So I'm a Darren Till guy. I'm a big supporter 1433 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,680 Speaker 5: and we have fallen on hard times. People have jumped 1434 01:08:04,680 --> 01:08:07,720 Speaker 5: off the bandwagon. After the Derek Brunson fight, Darren Till 1435 01:08:07,720 --> 01:08:09,640 Speaker 5: looked a lot of shape, he looked injured, he fought. 1436 01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:12,400 Speaker 5: It seemed like he fought for a paycheck, which isn't good. 1437 01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,280 Speaker 5: And that's the ego of them, that's the confidence that 1438 01:08:14,360 --> 01:08:16,559 Speaker 5: I love. But he's been spending a lot of time 1439 01:08:16,560 --> 01:08:18,280 Speaker 5: in swite and I know he finished his camping Tiger 1440 01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,519 Speaker 5: more time muy Ti And those are gyms that you 1441 01:08:20,560 --> 01:08:22,240 Speaker 5: don't go to half ass. You got to work at 1442 01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:24,719 Speaker 5: those gyms. You gotta be in shape. So I'm banking 1443 01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 5: on that he's in shape for this because I am 1444 01:08:26,560 --> 01:08:30,439 Speaker 5: a Till Ride or Die Justice Duplessi, which I fucking 1445 01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:33,599 Speaker 5: nail boys. This guy's a killer. He has split fights 1446 01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:36,400 Speaker 5: for Roberto Solditch, who if you ask the hipsters in 1447 01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 5: MMA this guy's the best one eighty five in the world. 1448 01:08:38,560 --> 01:08:40,160 Speaker 5: I think he's very good. I don't think he's better 1449 01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:41,880 Speaker 5: than Izzy. But if you ask the hipsters out there, 1450 01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:44,519 Speaker 5: all we love Robert, you know solditch either way, he's 1451 01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 5: got split winds, you know, split fights over him and 1452 01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,400 Speaker 5: du Plus he's a very good fighter. He's a killer. 1453 01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,519 Speaker 5: He mixes everything up well. He could have three finishes 1454 01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,919 Speaker 5: in the UFC if Tavars wasn't so tough. Knocked Tavars 1455 01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,360 Speaker 5: around a lot. This guy has powered problem is he 1456 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,200 Speaker 5: rushes in a lot. I see him, let's see a 1457 01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 5: lot head up a little bit, and I just feel 1458 01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,400 Speaker 5: like Darren Hill's piston of a left hand can catch him. Now, 1459 01:09:06,479 --> 01:09:08,200 Speaker 5: Till's not the best finishing in the world. He's hurt 1460 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,200 Speaker 5: a lot of people and hasn't been able to put 1461 01:09:10,280 --> 01:09:12,040 Speaker 5: him away. But this is the guy who went five 1462 01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:15,719 Speaker 5: competitive rounds where Robert Whitaker in kind of a striking 1463 01:09:15,800 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 5: chess match where they both dropped each other. That's the 1464 01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,160 Speaker 5: darreuntil I need here, the guy that's not willing to 1465 01:09:21,200 --> 01:09:23,720 Speaker 5: get taken down, accept the ground position. This is what 1466 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,880 Speaker 5: I need Darun Hill here, And I'm a Darren Hiel guy, 1467 01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,320 Speaker 5: So I'm going to go for my wallet's sake. I 1468 01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,920 Speaker 5: hope he's motivated, and I hope he's uninjured because I'm 1469 01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:31,920 Speaker 5: going till by decision. 1470 01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:36,719 Speaker 6: Yeah, and I canceled. What do you have with the middleweight? 1471 01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,639 Speaker 7: Yeah, Ran, I think that's a great breakdown. I think 1472 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:42,559 Speaker 7: the other thing for me is what has Darren Dial 1473 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,759 Speaker 7: done since his last fight? Has he identified his weakness 1474 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:50,320 Speaker 7: of the grappling skill and improved that tremendously. He's been 1475 01:09:50,360 --> 01:09:53,360 Speaker 7: training with Hams at CHIMAIV, He's going over Sweden, He's 1476 01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:56,160 Speaker 7: been training in Thailand. I know there's a bunch of 1477 01:09:56,439 --> 01:09:59,160 Speaker 7: Russian wrestlers, Dagistani wrestlers that are over there. 1478 01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:00,280 Speaker 2: I hope he's working with. 1479 01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:03,240 Speaker 7: Those guys because for me, that is how he wins 1480 01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:04,960 Speaker 7: this fight, if he's able to keep it on the 1481 01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,640 Speaker 7: feet and control the pacing against duplus C, who not 1482 01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 7: the most technical fighter, but man, he will throw everything 1483 01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:16,920 Speaker 7: at you all the time, non stop. So just puts 1484 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,840 Speaker 7: his foot on the gas and he can beat up 1485 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,200 Speaker 7: a lot of guys just based on that alone. 1486 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,840 Speaker 2: So I think Darren's the more technical fighter, but it. 1487 01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 7: All comes down to his ability to stop the takedown 1488 01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,880 Speaker 7: and counter duplus c as he rushes forward, Brian, I 1489 01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,760 Speaker 7: agree with you. I think he rushes forward. That's where 1490 01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:37,679 Speaker 7: he's got to take advantage of that and control the pace. 1491 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:40,080 Speaker 7: So I like Darren Till. I haven't lost faith in 1492 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,200 Speaker 7: him yet. I agree with you here this time we 1493 01:10:43,320 --> 01:10:44,559 Speaker 7: agree Darren Till co. 1494 01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:50,760 Speaker 6: All right, Tomain event a lightweight Patty the Batty Timbletton 1495 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:54,920 Speaker 6: minus two thirty Jared Gordon plus one ninety five Jared Gordon. 1496 01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:57,680 Speaker 6: Since I said the line to you, fellas can now 1497 01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,880 Speaker 6: be had plus two, fifteen and h depending on where 1498 01:11:00,920 --> 01:11:04,280 Speaker 6: you shop. Twelfth UFC appearance overall for Flash he's won 1499 01:11:04,400 --> 01:11:07,120 Speaker 6: three or four. Patty Piblet three and zero. In the UFC, 1500 01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,720 Speaker 6: he's won five straight overall, Brian Petro, your thoughts on 1501 01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 6: the co main events. 1502 01:11:11,040 --> 01:11:13,960 Speaker 5: Yeah, so a lot of people MMA purists are getting 1503 01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:16,519 Speaker 5: a littleupset that Patty got the co main event. Shut up, 1504 01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:20,120 Speaker 5: this guy's electric, right, this is what they want. Like 1505 01:11:20,280 --> 01:11:22,720 Speaker 5: is he going to be a world champion? I don't know, 1506 01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,960 Speaker 5: but he is a fun guy to watch inside and 1507 01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 5: outside the cage. Comine and vump bump. I love now. 1508 01:11:29,600 --> 01:11:31,760 Speaker 5: I gotta tread lightly because I know Jared Gordon is 1509 01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:34,479 Speaker 5: close friends with Blao, who's a very close member that 1510 01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:37,240 Speaker 5: he's a part of this channel, and I love blat right, 1511 01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,320 Speaker 5: and Jared Gordon seems like a great guy everything he's 1512 01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:42,320 Speaker 5: been with, so so I'm gonna treade lightly. But I 1513 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,360 Speaker 5: just I got a call it like I sees it, 1514 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 5: and I think Patty Kao is four out of five 1515 01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:49,679 Speaker 5: Jared Gordon loss has come from KO. I think Jared's 1516 01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:51,960 Speaker 5: gonna want to take Patty down and use that smothering 1517 01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:54,719 Speaker 5: ground game, because that's how Patty has lost in the past. 1518 01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,960 Speaker 5: Off his back hasn't been great, but it's Kenny pointing 1519 01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:58,720 Speaker 5: out the last time he broke down at Patty fight. 1520 01:11:58,960 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 5: He's in San Diego work with Justin Flores. He's fixing 1521 01:12:01,400 --> 01:12:04,000 Speaker 5: those things. And Patty, even though his striking is a 1522 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:06,360 Speaker 5: little harky jerky for me, his chins in the air, 1523 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:09,679 Speaker 5: his ticks are good and he's explosive. He does have power. 1524 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,360 Speaker 5: Regardless of how bad it looks or not how great 1525 01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 5: it looks, there's power there. So sorry, Blao, I'm gonna 1526 01:12:15,880 --> 01:12:18,960 Speaker 5: go Patty by Ko probably early, and to fight. I'm 1527 01:12:18,960 --> 01:12:20,440 Speaker 5: looking to play myself. 1528 01:12:22,840 --> 01:12:26,200 Speaker 6: And that's another reason why Brian Peter's going to Vegas 1529 01:12:26,200 --> 01:12:29,479 Speaker 6: see Patty Pimblet's fight live. Darren so as well. Can't flow. 1530 01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,200 Speaker 7: This is a very interesting fight. I do think there's 1531 01:12:33,200 --> 01:12:35,800 Speaker 7: a lot of value in Jared Gordon. Jared Gordon and 1532 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:40,240 Speaker 7: his ability to potentially stop those takedowns and smother Patty. 1533 01:12:41,840 --> 01:12:43,320 Speaker 2: Patty can knock him out. 1534 01:12:43,479 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 7: I think that his speed is going to be significant 1535 01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:49,800 Speaker 7: over Jared Gordon, and Jared's not the fastest guy, and 1536 01:12:49,840 --> 01:12:52,040 Speaker 7: sometimes it takes Jared a little bit to get into it. 1537 01:12:52,080 --> 01:12:54,400 Speaker 2: Sometimes it takes Patty a little bit to get into it. 1538 01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,880 Speaker 7: In round one, We've seen Patty have some you know, 1539 01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 7: struggle a little bit early, but then once he gets 1540 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,679 Speaker 7: his birth the man, he's tough to stop. I think, 1541 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 7: if I'm Patty Pimblin, I'm looking at that Grant Dawson fight, 1542 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,800 Speaker 7: I'm looking at that fight to see and find a 1543 01:13:09,840 --> 01:13:11,559 Speaker 7: way to beat Jared Gordon. I think if he can 1544 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,639 Speaker 7: get around to the back of Jared Gordon, that's where 1545 01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:18,080 Speaker 7: he can win this fight. So look for some scrambles, 1546 01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,680 Speaker 7: look for the takedown, scramble to his back, hop up 1547 01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:25,400 Speaker 7: on there, and look for that rear naked choke. So yeah, 1548 01:13:25,439 --> 01:13:27,720 Speaker 7: but if Jared's able to stop the takedowns and get 1549 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,640 Speaker 7: on top, I think Jared wins his fight. So I 1550 01:13:29,920 --> 01:13:32,639 Speaker 7: do think there's value on Jared. I think Patty's speed 1551 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 7: and his ground game will most likely be the difference. 1552 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:38,080 Speaker 7: I'm not sure if he gets a finish, but he 1553 01:13:38,080 --> 01:13:41,599 Speaker 7: shouldn't let Jared hang out for too long because Jared 1554 01:13:41,640 --> 01:13:43,720 Speaker 7: tends to get stronger as the fight goes on. 1555 01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:46,120 Speaker 2: So but I'll take Patty here as well. 1556 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:50,719 Speaker 6: Very excited to see it all play out and finally 1557 01:13:50,760 --> 01:13:53,240 Speaker 6: main event for the undisputed the UFC light Heavyweight title. 1558 01:13:53,880 --> 01:13:57,120 Speaker 6: Maga mat unk Eliath looking at capstone his winning streak 1559 01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,800 Speaker 6: with a UFC light heavyweight title. He's won nine in 1560 01:13:59,840 --> 01:14:03,519 Speaker 6: a modest two forty five former Champi Yombohovich plus two 1561 01:14:03,600 --> 01:14:06,680 Speaker 6: h five. As you guys, Nobohovich did get that win 1562 01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,720 Speaker 6: over Alexander Rockets, serving to position him for this fight. 1563 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 6: That was to be the comin event. Now it is 1564 01:14:12,040 --> 01:14:15,920 Speaker 6: for the undisputed UFC light Heavyweight Championship. We will see 1565 01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:18,559 Speaker 6: if Wuhovich can become a two time champion. Here, Brian Petrie, 1566 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,200 Speaker 6: we will start with you. You going with the favorite 1567 01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:22,880 Speaker 6: or the dog in the UFC Light Heavyweight title fight 1568 01:14:22,920 --> 01:14:23,400 Speaker 6: this weekend. 1569 01:14:23,520 --> 01:14:26,519 Speaker 5: So being in the buildings for Vegas, my first ever 1570 01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:29,680 Speaker 5: Vegas fight, I am sad that I'm not getting near 1571 01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:31,880 Speaker 5: Glover too, because that's my fight of the year and 1572 01:14:32,040 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 5: I want to see a legend like Glover because he's 1573 01:14:34,600 --> 01:14:37,640 Speaker 5: not having any more left. But however, I think this 1574 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,400 Speaker 5: is a great new main event. I think, you know, 1575 01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:41,760 Speaker 5: we've all been praising an Kaliath for a while. He's 1576 01:14:41,760 --> 01:14:43,960 Speaker 5: the next one. He's the next guy, and he is 1577 01:14:43,960 --> 01:14:46,320 Speaker 5: getting a former champion of Whovich. He's a grinder. I 1578 01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:49,439 Speaker 5: mean this guy. If you're a struggling a UFC fighter 1579 01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,320 Speaker 5: right now, you got to look at Yomblehovich's career early 1580 01:14:52,400 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 5: on and be like, this is a motivation for me. 1581 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,000 Speaker 5: This is all you gotta do is work your ass 1582 01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,880 Speaker 5: off and get there. This guy was two and four 1583 01:14:57,880 --> 01:15:00,200 Speaker 5: at one point over six fights. No want to he's 1584 01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:02,680 Speaker 5: gonna be champion, and he became champion. And he's looked good. 1585 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:05,120 Speaker 5: He looked good against Alex Jenner Wreckage. He looked like 1586 01:15:05,200 --> 01:15:08,880 Speaker 5: his boxing, which is israel Asania described it as herky, jerky, 1587 01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:12,360 Speaker 5: little off timing. It works for him. But you know, 1588 01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:15,599 Speaker 5: I have under underestimated y On for a long time, 1589 01:15:16,200 --> 01:15:18,080 Speaker 5: and I guess I might be doing it here because 1590 01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 5: this is about as close as a lock as it 1591 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 5: gets to me with An Caliath I Thinkank Caliath is 1592 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,679 Speaker 5: head and shuttles above everyone besides maybe YERI in this division. 1593 01:15:25,680 --> 01:15:27,479 Speaker 5: I think his wrestling is on point. I think his 1594 01:15:27,560 --> 01:15:29,880 Speaker 5: striking is on point. My only critique of him is 1595 01:15:30,080 --> 01:15:31,640 Speaker 5: he's had a couple of dead Man events. He had 1596 01:15:31,640 --> 01:15:33,759 Speaker 5: three main events where that you know, especially the Thiago 1597 01:15:33,800 --> 01:15:36,479 Speaker 5: Santos fight, were like, do more, you can do more, 1598 01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:38,760 Speaker 5: and I know Sia Santo's got bricks for hands, and 1599 01:15:38,760 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 5: you got to be a play a little safe. But 1600 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:42,960 Speaker 5: then he comes back and finishes Anthony Smith. Listen, I 1601 01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,519 Speaker 5: like Ank calif here. I mean, I'm seeing the board well, folks, 1602 01:15:46,560 --> 01:15:49,799 Speaker 5: I'm seeing the board well, boys. And I think caliath 1603 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:52,360 Speaker 5: Is is close to a lock as I got here. 1604 01:15:53,120 --> 01:15:55,680 Speaker 5: I think he could finish him late. Yan is extremely 1605 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:59,479 Speaker 5: tough and durable. I don't not going to touch the props. 1606 01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,920 Speaker 5: This is a part for me. I'm gonna go and calive. 1607 01:16:04,920 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 6: All right, pretty convictedly at that camp flow. What do 1608 01:16:06,960 --> 01:16:08,120 Speaker 6: you have for us on the title fight. 1609 01:16:09,560 --> 01:16:14,160 Speaker 7: So Uncle Iav has had some duds, mainly because he's 1610 01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:16,920 Speaker 7: not the guy who exposes himself. He doesn't go out 1611 01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:20,120 Speaker 7: there and you know, throw caution to the win and 1612 01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:24,200 Speaker 7: just start throwing wildly. He's very calculated with every single 1613 01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,160 Speaker 7: thing he does, and I think that's extremely important in 1614 01:16:27,200 --> 01:16:31,320 Speaker 7: this fight, because Yan would take advantage of someone like that. 1615 01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,320 Speaker 7: Yan will take advantage of mistakes. That that's where I 1616 01:16:34,360 --> 01:16:37,960 Speaker 7: think Yon really shines, and I don't think he has 1617 01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:40,320 Speaker 7: that here against Unclelive. And I don't think he's got 1618 01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:44,160 Speaker 7: the restling advantage here either with Unclelith. Uncle Ive can 1619 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:46,840 Speaker 7: win this fight by striking, and I think he can 1620 01:16:46,880 --> 01:16:49,559 Speaker 7: win this fight by outpointing you, taking you down, controlling 1621 01:16:49,560 --> 01:16:52,680 Speaker 7: the action, controlling the ground game, taking away a lot 1622 01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:56,200 Speaker 7: of the submissions of Yang Bohovich. So for Auncliath, I 1623 01:16:56,240 --> 01:16:59,559 Speaker 7: think that, you know, I see him winning this fight. 1624 01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,640 Speaker 2: I think there there's some value in Bohovich. 1625 01:17:01,880 --> 01:17:05,519 Speaker 7: I just don't see Uncle Ive making major mistakes or 1626 01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:09,240 Speaker 7: even maybe little mistakes that Jan Bohovich is able to expose. 1627 01:17:09,320 --> 01:17:11,840 Speaker 7: So I like Uncle Ive here. He's going to be 1628 01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:13,840 Speaker 7: a guy that is going to be very difficult to beat. 1629 01:17:13,880 --> 01:17:15,720 Speaker 7: I've been watching him for a very long time. This 1630 01:17:15,840 --> 01:17:18,080 Speaker 7: is a very intelligent and skilled fighter. 1631 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:20,920 Speaker 6: I will see wear it closes, Brian, appreciate your patience 1632 01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 6: today and have a great week, and at least for 1633 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:24,719 Speaker 6: a handshake if nothing else. 1634 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:26,920 Speaker 5: Brother, absolutely, I'll see you boys. 1635 01:17:27,080 --> 01:17:29,320 Speaker 6: All right there, he is great, great with us for 1636 01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 6: the main eventch challenge.

Unofficial pick was on the Pats two weeks ago, 1662 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:37,680 Speaker 9: and that hit. The official pick that I put out 1663 01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:40,160 Speaker 9: was on the lines of Thanksgiving. That hit, of course 1664 01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:42,680 Speaker 9: it did. So we're we're running on a nice hot 1665 01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,519 Speaker 9: streak here. We're, you know, making some moves.

He makes his UFC 1681 01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:23,439 Speaker 9: debut this weekend. He's the protege of Drake's dupless which 1682 01:19:23,439 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 9: I think is pretty interesting. I mean he's not that old, right, 1683 01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:28,599 Speaker 9: We're at that stage now where like there was photos 1684 01:19:28,640 --> 01:19:31,960 Speaker 9: of him at dupless C's fights when he was like twelve. 1685 01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,240 Speaker 9: So we're in that stage a fighter where it's just 1686 01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:36,400 Speaker 9: like if you're making the UFC, you know, like an 1687 01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:39,639 Speaker 9: Aaron Blanchfield, Like you started doing this at ten years old. 1688 01:19:39,680 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 9: You know, it wasn't Kenny picking this up for fun 1689 01:19:42,000 --> 01:19:43,960 Speaker 9: at seventeen, you know, trying to get some money down 1690 01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,519 Speaker 9: at the local Dover forum. 1691 01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:50,720 Speaker 6: I'm twenty one years old.

They're both six and l 1696 01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:09,160 Speaker 6: But Steven Obi Wan Shanoby the pillow. 1697 01:20:08,920 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 2: Right, Oh that's good. 1698 01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,400 Speaker 6: He used to just be Obi Wan Shanoby and then 1699 01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:18,160 Speaker 6: he added the pillow to it, so now he's Obi 1700 01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:19,320 Speaker 6: Wan Shanoby the pillow. 1701 01:20:21,439 --> 01:20:23,080 Speaker 9: Well, and you know what the best thing about that 1702 01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,439 Speaker 9: is is you're on Disney, so you can say that. 1703 01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,240 Speaker 9: If you're on any other promotion, like, you can't you 1704 01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 9: get copyright. 1705 01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:28,360 Speaker 5: Flag for that. 1706 01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:29,040 Speaker 9: You can't say that. 1707 01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:30,439 Speaker 4: Well there you go. 1708 01:20:31,360 --> 01:20:34,880 Speaker 9: Uh one last point of the MMA news before we 1709 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,000 Speaker 9: get to the football pick that everyone's waiting for, wishing 1710 01:20:37,360 --> 01:20:41,720 Speaker 9: Dustin Poie speedy recovery from a nasty staff infection. He's 1711 01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:43,599 Speaker 9: in the hospital right now, you know, dealing with this. 1712 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:46,960 Speaker 9: I'm showing it on the screen, wishing a speedy recovery 1713 01:20:46,960 --> 01:20:50,000 Speaker 9: to him. And then, of course, you know, because Dustin 1714 01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:54,400 Speaker 9: and Connor have their great friendship, you know, Dustin Derk 1715 01:20:54,439 --> 01:20:56,680 Speaker 9: Connor offered some nice words, so I want to just 1716 01:20:56,720 --> 01:21:00,519 Speaker 9: bring that up here. He'llip soon scruffy nickers, And that, 1717 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:03,120 Speaker 9: of course led to a little back and forth between 1718 01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:06,880 Speaker 9: Connor and Pourier. I couldn't find any live lines on that, 1719 01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,160 Speaker 9: but what's your guys appetite for that? To seeing another 1720 01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:10,280 Speaker 9: Connor Poier fight. 1721 01:21:13,680 --> 01:21:16,479 Speaker 6: Well, I guess i'll lead. I would like to see 1722 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,879 Speaker 6: a fresh fight for Connor. We've seen that three times, 1723 01:21:19,160 --> 01:21:22,200 Speaker 6: certainly one of them was back in twenty fourteen. But 1724 01:21:22,240 --> 01:21:24,240 Speaker 6: I would like to see a fresh matchup for both guys. 1725 01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:26,120 Speaker 6: I don't know how Kemflow feels about it. I mean, 1726 01:21:26,400 --> 01:21:28,360 Speaker 6: I'll still show up and call a fourth meeting, but 1727 01:21:28,400 --> 01:21:33,680 Speaker 6: I'd like to see some fresh. 1728 01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:33,280 Speaker 7: I don't think that's a fight that we need to 1729 01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,760 Speaker 7: see for the next one. It is something that I 1730 01:21:36,760 --> 01:21:40,000 Speaker 7: think is interesting for a fight later on down the line, 1731 01:21:40,040 --> 01:21:43,439 Speaker 7: but not for Connor's first fight back off the injury. 1732 01:21:43,439 --> 01:21:46,599 Speaker 9: Now, well, I can help would agree with you there. 1733 01:21:46,600 --> 01:21:48,000 Speaker 9: I would love to see a new fight. The last 1734 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,479 Speaker 9: one closed Connor was a plus one oh five pot 1735 01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,280 Speaker 9: minus one forty. Got to think if that fight happens again, 1736 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:56,040 Speaker 9: Poitier is deeper minus two hundred minus two fifty, you know, 1737 01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:57,160 Speaker 9: especially given the injury. 1738 01:21:57,439 --> 01:22:00,679 Speaker 6: Not that high. No, no way, it'll get right. 1739 01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:01,200 Speaker 5: That's okay. 1740 01:22:01,240 --> 01:22:07,120 Speaker 9: You're contractionally obligated from discussing this anyway. So so last point, 1741 01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,479 Speaker 9: of course, is the NFL cover the NFL pick of 1742 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:13,040 Speaker 9: the week. Everybody's money making. Kenny has actually paid for 1743 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,720 Speaker 9: True's entire college fund with my picks by fading me, 1744 01:22:15,840 --> 01:22:18,720 Speaker 9: so you know, good on you there. The pick for 1745 01:22:18,800 --> 01:22:21,280 Speaker 9: me this week is going to be the Bengals minus 1746 01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,960 Speaker 9: six against the Browns. I didn't think that the Browns 1747 01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:25,840 Speaker 9: were playing well at all. The Bengals look like they're 1748 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,519 Speaker 9: hitting all cylinders. Joey Cool looks like the best QB 1749 01:22:28,600 --> 01:22:31,599 Speaker 9: in the NFL. He smoked the Chiefs on Sunday when 1750 01:22:31,640 --> 01:22:33,479 Speaker 9: what was a closer game on paper than it was 1751 01:22:33,600 --> 01:22:35,880 Speaker 9: actually in person. So I think the Bengals are going 1752 01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:37,080 Speaker 9: to pull it out on Sunday. 1753 01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 6: That's the Pickugh, I like it. I think Cincinnati is 1754 01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:41,800 Speaker 6: a team to ride going forward. All right, thank you 1755 01:22:41,800 --> 01:22:45,519 Speaker 6: guys for indulging us.
