Speaker 1: Revere, Revere Dalks.

Speaker 1: That's the spirit we bring to this show. I'm Luke Thomas.

00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: I'm Brian Campbell to this this Morning Combat.

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: It is Monday, May eleventh, twenty twenty, and it is

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:30,200
Speaker 1: time donks as I have this intro up for Morning Combat. Hi. Everyone,

8
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: my name is Luke Thomas. I am one half of

9
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 1: this half hosting duo. Geez. I'm having a rough morning here,

10
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: but actually I'm not. I'm actually feeling great. I got

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 1: some great sleep last night. But the good news is

12
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:42,279
Speaker 1: I am not the only person hosting today's program. One

13
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 1: half of the other assignment is on the other side

14
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: of the screen. You know this Showleman very well from

15
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: CBS Sports, among many other places where he is cashing

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: him checks like Takashi six ' nine in the new

17

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:57,760

00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, Luke. I am fired loves what I got.

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: Don't start a ryot fights. We're back this weekend. I

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: was injected, I am ready, I am fired up. I

22
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: am pale and washy can't change that during the quarantine,

23
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: but can change my optimistical thoughts about the future. Luke.

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: This show was designed, as you like to often say,

25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 2: to react to fights, to set up fights, to do

26
00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 2: things around live events.

27
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: It feels really good to be back where we belong.

28
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can fill your quarantine whole with some dick

29
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: pics and stuff, but we like doing the real thing, Luke.

30
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,240

51
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 2: you know, you've been circling the rim for a while.

52
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,399
Speaker 2: Let's get down to business here and make this. Let's

53
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: consume it. Let's let's consummate anyway. Enough awkwardness. I'm not

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 2: here for awkwardness. I'm here to excitedly react to fights.

55
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 2: And just for the record, Showtime did make me sign

56
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: an NDA that I would not comment about any testing

57
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: that they provided me for COVID heading into the show.

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: But I'm ready. Let's go very good.

59
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: All right. With that in mind, it's time now for

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,959
Speaker 1: topic number one. As I expertly slide to the right

61
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: to make a room for graphics on the side of

62
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: the screen, here' see him pop up. There they go first, off, BC,

63
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: you go first on this one. As you know. UFC

64
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: two forty nine in the books, Justin Geichee becomes the

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: UFC Interim Lightweight Champion, allthough he threw his belt on

66
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: the ground. Immediately, Let's ask a very basic question, and

67
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 1: there's many many to get to here about the situation,

68
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: but first things first, based on what we've seen in

69
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 1: his career, based on what we've seen in this transformation,

70
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 1: starting with the Michael and Michael, the James Vick fight, Wow,

71
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm off today, and then culminating with the Tony Ferguson

72
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: victory on Saturday BC, is Justin Gaetchie the guy to beat?

73
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 4: Could be?

74
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: Even Nerica made off? Wow.

75
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 2: That is a loaded question, Luke. He just might be.

76
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: And the reason is because this is just personally, I'm

77
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: gonna take the l I'm gonna come out and say,

78
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Justin Gaichee is a lot better of a fighter than

79
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: I thought he was. I wasn't sleeping on his three

80
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: fight evolution to come back with those first run knockouts,

81
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: the patients and the poise, the added wrinkles from Trevor Whitman.

82
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: I saw that, right. I never thought that could be

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: translated on the level where he could walk into hell

84
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: with Tony Ferguson, a guy who is ready to risk

85
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: it all.

86
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: At any time and be the you know, be the.

87
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 2: More poised fighter, be the stronger fighter, be the smarter fighter,

88
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 2: be everything across the board. Yes, he is a viable

89
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 2: target for Abib Normaga medof. He is better than I

90
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: thought he was. I'll take the L, He'll take the W,

91
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 2: and I loved even more Luke, our interim title debate

92
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 2: aside from last week, people seem to get a kick

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: out of that. People also seem to misrepresent or misinterpret

94
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: what I was actually saying. I absolutely love though Justin

95
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: Gaetchee basically doing well Magic Johnson did in nineteen ninety

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 2: when Sam Perkins celebrating in the locker room after they

97
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: go to the finals, he goes, no, we don't celebrate

98
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:53,160
Speaker 2: Western Conference championships on this team, right we I act

99
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: like you've been here. Wait for the real thing. I

100
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: love that Justin Gaechee did that. I cannot wait for

101
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: this fight. This guy was supposed to be left out

102
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: of this title mix. He found his entry, Luke. He

103
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 2: kicked the damn Dorin. There's so much I want to

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 2: say about Tony Ferguson because I love and respect him,

105
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 2: but this is Justin's moment and he got me. Congratulations.

106
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, this was such an important win. I mean, I

107
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: want you to think about something here very clearly right.

108
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: And by the way, I too thought Tony Ferguson was

109
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna win. I thought it made sense if you want

110
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: to throw some shekels on top of Justin as a

111
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: betting possible choice. But you're right, we both outright picked

112
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: Tony Ferguson. We were both wrong. We both should say

113
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: it out loud. Nevertheless, though, I think we both took

114
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 1: Justin Gatchie seriously, and he showed pretty clearly why he

115
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 1: deserves to be taken seriously. But I want to make

116
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: an other point about this BC, which is there's a

117
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: lot of really good fighters out there that we respect,

118
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: that we like, that have nice, solid wins, impressive victories

119
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: come from behind moments without a real signature victory, And

120
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 1: to this point, Justin Gaechee had some really nice wins.

121
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: The Serrooni win was pretty good, the Barboza win was fantastic,

122
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,279
Speaker 1: getting after Vic after Vic called him the Homer Simpson

123
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: of MMA. That to feel pretty good. And of course

124
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: Michael Johnson was exciting, and the other fights where he

125
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 1: lost were all exciting. But to me, he didn't have

126
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 1: that signature win. He did not beat an a class

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 1: opponent in a real way that made you say, I

128
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 1: have to completely reevaluate this guy. I tweeted it on

129
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: Saturday night. I will reiterate it here. This is not

130
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: the Justin Gaichee that lost to Eddie Alvarez. This is

131
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: not the Justin Gaichee that lost to Dustin Quarrie. Eight. Now,

132
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm not saying those guys couldn't get another win if

133
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: there was a rematch, but they would be fighting a

134
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: very very different animal. Justin Gaichee did not have to

135
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: fight in such a way BC. But we're really able

136
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: to tell exactly how he's going to match up with

137
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: Nrmaka Madoff. Right, he didn't do really any wrestling. A

138
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: couple of sprawls and some down blocking maybe you know

139
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 1: a handful of times if that and that was it.

140
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: That doesn't really tell us if he's the guy to

141
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,160
Speaker 1: beat Nimerka Madov. But here's what he does tell us.

142
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,479
Speaker 1: It tells us he is in the upper echelon of

143
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 1: that division. He is one of, in my mind, either

144
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: the two or three best lightweights on Earth, maybe the

145
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 1: very best. And what intrigues me about it is not

146
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 1: only did he ascend to a level of that division

147
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: that I think a lot of folks were maybe a

148
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: little bit skeptical he could when he came to the UFC.

149
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: But now you are excited about the possibilities. You are

150
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: wondering what's there. And what's so intriguing is that, in

151
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: many ways, BC he's the opposite of Nimica Madoff. Nimica

152
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,559
Speaker 1: Madov wants to strike as a function of either killing

153
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 1: time in around, catching his breath, changing things up a

154
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,480
Speaker 1: little bit, and then the wrestling is really how he wins.

155
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: That is, that is the way in which he has

156
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: plied his trade. Justin Gaischee now seven UFC fights, zero

157
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: submissions attempted, zero takedowns attempted. That is unheard of, especially

158
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: for this division. He is the opposite in many ways

159
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: of Nimika Madoff. We know he's an a class talent.

160
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: I am sad about what's happened to Tony Ferguson. I

161
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: think many of us are. I respect what he did,

162
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: but the better man won that night, and I am

163
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: very intrigued by the possibility.

164
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: Yes, I don't want to get off Justin Gatchie at

165
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: the topic at this moment, because I do want to

166
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: double down and reinterpret.

167
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 3: When James Vick was calling him Homer Simpson.

168
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: He was.

169
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: He was Arturo Gatti, which by the way, is not

170
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 3: a bad.

171
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: Thing to be called. That means you're in it for

172
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: the entertainment. You're in it to please the fans, and

173
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 2: regularly go out there and just show how ballsy you

174
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: are and how badass Gaichie is, you know, in that

175
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: discussion of the greatest history within that category. But that

176
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 2: doesn't get it done at the end of the day,

177
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: to become an elite. The fact that he was able

178
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 2: to make this evolution the way he has and raise

179
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: his ceilings so dramatically, like I have so much respect

180
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: for Tony Ferguson that Justin Gaigie and the way he

181
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: performed on Saturday Night. I mean, I'm going from this

182
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: level to here in my opinion and expectations of what

183
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: Justin Geigee is credible and capable of, because I did

184
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 2: not ever believe I could see him put on a

185
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 2: performance where he never sacrifices the savage nature and the

186
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 2: danger he brings to a fight with being able to

187
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: keep it up up at a high technical level. Luke

188
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 2: his ability to balance those two together, his ability to

189
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: swing for the fences at almost every turn, yet not

190
00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: guess out, not get too wild, and outside of that

191
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 2: uppercut that he was nearly stocked with to en round two,

192
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 2: never really put himself in a spot where he had

193
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: become reckless.

194
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,119
Speaker 3: The ability to tow that line.

195
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 2: I never thought it possible that Justin Gatgee could get there.

196
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 2: Now you asked me to start this show. Does this

197
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: make him a viable contender for Habib? I think we

198
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 2: just have to go. I gotta see it now because

199
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 2: I don't know how good this guy can be. This

200
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: was brilliant, the ability to take smash mouth style fighting

201
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: and put it together with a smart game plan. Very

202
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: few in history Luke have been able to do that.

203
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:42,960
Speaker 1: I love that term, and I would say this, you

204
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: know who He reminds me of a little bit. The

205
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: comparison will not make sense over its totality. It's not

206
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: a totalizing comparison, but I will say this, Sometimes somebody

207
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,440
Speaker 1: comes along in a division and beats all the guys

208
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: that they're not supposed to beat. Now again, I don't

209
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 1: know if he's going to beat numberga Madoff. We have

210
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: to see it, but I like his chances. I think

211
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: he matches up certainly at a bare minimum in an

212
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: interesting way, if not outright well, and I make this

213
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: comparison to for bco Verdom. You know, ver Doom is

214
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: not considered to be the greatest heavyweight of all time,

215
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: but he went in there and submitted Fador. He's not

216
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: considered to be the greatest heavyweight of all time, but

217
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: he submitted the greatest submission heavyweight of all time in Nogera. Again,

218
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: not considered to be the best, but he goes in

219
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: there and takes the title from Kane Velasquez in Mexico.

220
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 1: Here's this guy that just comes along and you have

221
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: all these greats in your mind, you have this ranking

222
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 1: in your mind, and one guy just wipes it all out.

223
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: And now again there's many differences, many many differences, BCEE. I

224
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: think we'd agree between the careers and the division that

225
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: he operates in Forbesia Fordoman heavyweight, between just engage and lightweight.

226
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: I'm just here to say, you have these rankings in

227
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: your mind, Tony versus a Beab's for everything, and I'm

228
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 1: sad we're not gonna get to see it. I want

229
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: to say it one more time, but that's just not

230
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: the way the cookie crumbles in this sport. Some guys

231
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 1: just take the sport by the scruff of the neck

232
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: and they demand you give it to him. And on

233
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: Saturday night, Justin Gaigie was one of those guys.

234
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 2: And I want to like take a I want to

235
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 2: just remove from the table some of the opinions I

236
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 2: saw in the aftermath that oh, maybe Tony shouldn't have

237
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: cut weight to fifty five a couple weeks ago, or

238
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: oh maybe he shouldn't have taken this fight, Maybe he

239
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: shouldn't have you know, he was preparing for a wrestler

240
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 2: in Habib and then he had a change. While certain

241
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 2: kernels of that may be true, here's where in Jay

242
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: in my air really want me to move on. I

243
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: am not ready to say anything but that that was

244
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 2: a ten out of ten performance from Gaichee because Luke,

245
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: I believe Ferguson came through with a ten performance of

246
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 2: his own, meaning you were going to have to kill

247
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: him in that cage to beat him, and thankfully Herbdeim

248
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 2: stopped it at really the perfect moment because Tony is

249
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 2: not going to go down. He took a cyborg level

250
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: of shots. He took the equivalent of like twenty to

251
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 2: twenty five finishing shots and not only kept coming, that's

252
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 2: one thing, but patiently was sort of in the fight

253
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: despite getting knocked around like crazy. So that only adds

254
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: to the performance of Justin Gaichie. Like I mentioned, to

255
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 2: never get caught into a super brawl, to never get

256
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 2: caught in a reckless position, and to just stay the course.

257
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: He had to beat a twelve fight win streak Tony Ferguson,

258
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: who you can take nothing away from. Yes, I had

259
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 2: said for a while, maybe this is too big of

260
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: a gamble. I finally understood where he was coming from.

261
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 2: He can't wait on Habib, he can't follow him around.

262
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 2: He had to make his own history. He took that

263
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 2: swing against Gaichee. He was really willing to risk it all.

264
00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 2: He came up empty, but that only adds to what

265
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,080
Speaker 2: Geechee did on Saturday night. Full respect.

266
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Here, last thing on this, I certainly echo everything you're saying, BC,

267
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: And the other thing I would add here is, look,

268
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: did it help that he had to go from again

269
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:43,199
Speaker 1: Nimberga Madov too, arguably Nimiga Madov's opposite. It couldn't have helped.

270
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: Did he have to cut wait three weeks out. It

271
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: probably didn't help, but I just don't think. Yeah, I

272
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: don't have to say is that yeah? Is that the

273
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 1: reason he lost? Or is the reason that he lost?

274
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: Is that Justin Geichee has utterly undergone a reformation of

275
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: extraordinary proportions and does not get credit for how smart

276
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 1: and talented of a fighter he is. Even today, BC

277
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: people are like, oh, Trevor Whitman is a genius, and

278
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: he is. I would never say anything otherwise. He has

279
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: guided this young man's career to great heights. He deserves

280
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. Don't take credit from Justin Gaegee either.

281
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: He is smarter than he gets credit for. He makes

282
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 1: great decisions and fights. He adhere to the game plan,

283
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: He was disciplined, and he won and it was no accident.

284
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 1: All right? With that being said, BC, well go to

285
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: you again on this one if we can. There's lots

286
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: to discuss on two forty nine or on a limited clock,

287
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: So let's go to the co main event if we can.

288
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: Henry Shudo, Wow, man, what a performance by him. If

289
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 1: you told me he was gonna win, BC, I would

290
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: not have been surprised. Who could be right? He was

291
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 1: favored to win he goes up there and he stops

292
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: Dominic Cruz in the second round with strikes, but then

293
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: he retired. Let me ask you the question in this way.

294
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: Let's say he is done BC. Let's say this is

295
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: not employed to get money, which it could be if

296
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: he's really done, he never fights again. What is Henry

297
00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: Sahudo's legacy.

298
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: I almost don't want to entertain that question, Luke, because

299
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: he's coming back.

300
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: He's not done. We got to wake up.

301
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 2: John Jones's tweet illuminated it for some people. But the

302
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: more you dig into the comments of Suhudo afterwards, where

303
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: he said, Dana knows the price quote unquote to get

304
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: me back in there, I'll shelf that, though I'll entertain

305
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,800
Speaker 2: your question. Brilliant performance, the ability to set up those

306
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: leg kicks and take away the one avenue for victory

307
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 2: that dom Cruz may have had, and then systematically take

308
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: him apart. He's legitimately in the discussion right now for

309
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: pound for pound best in the sport.

310
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 3: I don't think he's better than Habib.

311
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 2: I've still got John Jones right there, but he is

312
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: banging on that door. And to see what he's done

313
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: with his opportunities I'll echo it again. I did not

314
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: believe he deserved the opportunity to fight for a title

315
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: in a second weight class at that point. I didn't

316
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: think he beat Demetrius Johnson in their rematch. But with

317
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 2: all that said, every time they've given him the ball,

318
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,640
Speaker 2: he has come up in above your expectations, knocking out

319
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: Marlon Moriis, who was a killer all that we've seen,

320
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: absolutely hit a slam dunk. It's hard to say, is

321
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 2: he now what he says, the greatest combat athlete of

322
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 2: all time? No?

323
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 3: Is he in the discussion of.

324
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: That upper room that you know, people like me allowed

325
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: Demitrius Johnson and Daniel Cormier to get into in the

326
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 2: last few years, that Silva gsp fade.

327
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 3: Or you know John Jones room. You know where I'm

328
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 3: going here.

329
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: No, I don't think he's there, but I'm insanely impressed

330
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 2: his four fight win streak. Right now, now he's on

331
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 2: a six fight win streak. But that specific four pack

332
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 2: of fights that's Mighty Mouse, de La Shaw, Ma Reich

333
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 2: and now Dominant Cruz. I would put up there with anyone,

334
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 2: with the exception of the five fight run that John

335
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 2: Jones had beginning with the showgun fight. I'll put that

336
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 2: up there with or above any other four fight stretch

337
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: in UFC history. That's the respect I have for who

338
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 2: he is. I don't think he's a goat, though I do.

339
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: You think you have to separate the hall of very

340
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: good and great, But I do think he's exceptional at

341
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 2: thirty three. I think he's taking a very large financeechell

342
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 2: stand here because he sees himself as the Conna McGregor

343
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 2: of the small weight classes. He sees himself as the

344
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: potential first legitimate Mexican American star for the UFC. So

345
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 2: I think what he's trying to do is this, Luke,

346
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 2: it's not just about pay me. I think he's so

347
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 2: smart that he's saying to himself, if I stay at

348
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: bantamweight and I go through the gauntlet of Peter jhan Al,

349
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: Jamain Sterling, Corey Sanhagen, Mauritis second time, on and on

350
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 2: and on, I may win them all.

351
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 3: But you know that's a lot of high risk, somewhat

352
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: low reward. Do you know what?

353
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 2: Retiring right now is the best thing for him? In

354
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: his mind, he's giving away the belts, he doesn't have

355
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 2: to defend it, and then he can come back for

356
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 2: the type of one offs, whether that be a featherweight

357
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,120
Speaker 2: title shot down the road, or whether that just be

358
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: super fight or fight another old name to put it

359
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 2: on your resume. It's brilliant control of your career. Do

360
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 2: you know who the real MVP is? You're not gonna

361
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 2: want to hear this. The real MVP at UFC two

362
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 2: forty nine. It ain't the the COVID testers, it ain't

363
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: Dana White getting the showback on the It's Ali a Delasis.

364
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: What a fricking weekend for that guy.

365
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 2: The way he's got in these fighters, I thought the

366
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,960
Speaker 2: way so who don't handle this retirement was absolutely brilliant.

367
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 1: I'm sure I wouldn't be opposed to saying that. He

368
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: certainly has a lot of people want to say Ali's

369
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 1: success is accidental. I don't think it is accidental. Again,

370
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: there may be some other criticisms to make of him,

371
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: but that he has been a very successful manager in

372
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: MMA is not one you could you could make. You

373
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,120
Speaker 1: have to acknowledge what he has done, so I would.

374
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 1: I would absolutely do that. But getting back to Henry

375
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: Shudo here for just a moment, if I may to me,

376
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: when I think about again, if this is just some

377
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: ploy to get more money in the way you whish

378
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 1: you have described it very well, could be, We'll have

379
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: to see. Let's take the press the premise of the

380
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,400
Speaker 1: question for what it is. So let's say he's done.

381
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: What is his legacy? First of all, it deserves to

382
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: be said, this is one of the better retirements in

383
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: MMA that I've ever seen. It happened in a strange way.

384
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: It's happening in a strange time, but to go out

385
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: on top, as you mentioned, in a four to five

386
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: win streak where four of those wins excuse me, there

387
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: are four wins, but then three of them Dillashaw on

388
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 1: peds mona Marish uppweight class dominant, Cruz up a weight class.

389
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: He got those three via stoppage. That's the best four

390
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,679
Speaker 1: fight win streak I've seen at any weight class one

391
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: forty five and down. And as you mentioned, it's in

392
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 1: competition with some other ones in the higher weight classes

393
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: as well. So to me, you have this combination between

394
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: a guy really coming into his own, a great moment

395
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 1: to retire, where you're not going out of the cage

396
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: on your hands and knees, you're not taking fights you're

397
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,880
Speaker 1: not supposed to take You're not in all this kind

398
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 1: of physical and financial peril, and it feels too soon,

399
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: which tells you. In many ways it could arguably be

400
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: construed as being right on time. But the thing that

401
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: sits out for me is when I think about this,

402
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: you're right there. He was going to get an aldo,

403
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: he was going to get a cruise, and then after

404
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: that he was going to have to face the buzz

405
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: saws of the Yawns and the sterlings and the Sandhagens.

406
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:55,640
Speaker 1: And there's just not a lot of money in that.

407
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: We talked about it before. You want to be mad

408
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: at Henry Sejudo for following the very incentives the UFC

409
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: sets out for champions when they're looking for big fights.

410
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: On how they make money. They make money based on celebrity.

411
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,159
Speaker 1: They don't make money based on challenge. Per Se. You

412
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: just have to acknowledge he's doing what the UFC is

413
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 1: setting him out to do. I'll just say this, he

414
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: was really coming to in his own as a fighter.

415
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 1: I agree he deserves to be ranked at the top

416
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: of the pound for pound or not at the top,

417
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: but certainly in that space, I really wonder what he's

418
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 1: capable of a world class athlete like this, And remember

419
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: he didn't beat Dillashaw wrestling, Marie. There was a little

420
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: bit of the sort of you know, understanding these positions

421
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,520
Speaker 1: to help him, and there was good down blocking in

422
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 1: this one as well. I think he had one minor

423
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: takedown on Cruise, but he won it based on these

424
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: other skills he had developed. I know he had done

425
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: some boxing prior to wrestling, but you know, a fuller

426
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: array of kickboxing at this point. With the lekicks as

427
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: you saw, he could be something special if he keeps going.

428
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he already is, but I mean

429
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 1: really really special. I really wonder now more. I don't

430
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: think he could beat Volkanovsky, but I got to tell you,

431
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 1: my interest in seeing the fight went up a little bit.

432
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,359
Speaker 1: He's a world class athlete. I am saddened. I am

433
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,199
Speaker 1: very honestly, I'll say this, I'm very sad about what

434
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: happened to Tony. But Tony was able to do something

435
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 1: really special, and so was Henry. But Henry feels like

436
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,359
Speaker 1: he's cutting it short before we could see the full

437
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: breadth and depth of it. Tony's thirty six, thirty seven.

438
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: It just kind of kills me a little bit.

439
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 2: You know, I want to ask you this, if you

440
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 2: believe what I just said about Suhudo's stretch strategy right now,

441
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,399
Speaker 2: in terms of matchmaking, what are the potential super fights

442
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: that could interest you at lightweight and I'm sorry, at

443
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: below what lightweight?

444
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 3: In the first half of the small weight classes.

445
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 2: If Suhudo is going to essentially try to become a

446
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 2: contract killer and only take the biggest fish available for

447
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,199
Speaker 2: big money, are there those type of fights that interest you?

448
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: Honestly, they're at one forty five at this point, because

449
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: one thirty five if you're talking about just great fights

450
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: with great talents, it's such an interesting, talent rich, youth

451
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: driven division. But these guys just having had a chance

452
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: to assert themselves. And the one bad thing for bans

453
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 1: Someway We've discussed a million times now, it's always better

454
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: when one fighter takes the title from another, when one

455
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: champion has to just gift it back. It makes that

456
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: transference of celebrity kind of heart And I'll say this

457
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: bec you know what's kind of sad also about Suhudo

458
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 1: is that I remember when he first finished the Olympics

459
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 1: and there were rumors of him getting into starting MMA,

460
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 1: and he was not doing well at first. He had

461
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: some weight cut issues, of course, as we saw, and

462
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 1: he had wins, but they were real lackluster and he

463
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 1: wasn't training with the right people and blah blah blah.

464
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Number one, he ironed all that out, but the fact

465
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,119
Speaker 1: that he got labeled and did it to himself is

466
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: the king of cringe. When to me, he could have

467
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: been the guy who picked up the torch from Kane

468
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: Velasquez to really draw in those Latino American fans, to

469
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: really bring them out. If you had not seen UFC

470
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: one twenty one and you look in the audience and

471
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: you just see who's there, and it was a different complexion.

472
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 1: He could have been that guy. He still could be

473
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 1: that guy if he finds a way. Instead, he became

474
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: in terms of this inside the MMA bubble, this sort

475
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: of like the side show stuff, which really detracts from

476
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 1: what a fantastic talent he actually was.

477
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, very comparable to me creating the have you seen

478
00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 2: this shit segment when other people are going, oh, that

479
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 2: guy can actually pull off a real interview too. He's

480
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 2: probably the demise of my career list. But thanks for

481
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: being part of it.

482
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here to do, buddy, That's what I'm

483
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: here to do. All right. We go to now the

484
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: other fight on the main card that was breathtaking in

485
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: its own way, although if you were holding your breath,

486
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: you didn't have to hold it for very long. BC

487
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: Francis Andnghan, who scores an eighteen second KO in the

488
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 1: very first round over Jarzeno rosenstrike rosenstroke. However you want

489
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: to say it, what the hell is he supposed to

490
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: do now that the division is on ice. The good

491
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: news BC is that Cormier saying I'll fight him if

492
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: it's if they strip Steepe. But I don't think they

493
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 1: want to strip a first responder in the middle of

494
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 1: a pandemic who is saying I'm willing to fight. I

495
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: just need to be in a place where, Hello, the

496
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 1: gym is open. BC. I know you don't want to

497
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: revisit it, but I think it's time to revisit it. Look,

498
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: the biggest reason to have granted an interim title shot

499
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: between and Gondu and Roses Struger. Hear me out now,

500
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 1: I didn't mind at all what Justin Gagee said and

501
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,159
Speaker 1: did when he threw the belt Off. It's not because

502
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: I think that the guy should be considered right alongside

503
00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 1: Numbergam made Off. It's not that. What I really cared

504
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,200
Speaker 1: about is just getting these guys more money, and justin

505
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 1: Gaegee when he fights Numbergam, Madeoff is going to get

506
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: more money Big Francis is not. To me, that's terribly

507
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,439
Speaker 1: unfair and a missed opportunity. But at this point, dude,

508
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: he had an eighteen second fight. Now, I know he

509
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 1: had a long camp. Are we really gonna wait until

510
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,640
Speaker 1: the fall to get this guy back out here? They

511
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: have some very hard decisions to make now, and to

512
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 1: be honest, I don't know what the answer is. Because

513
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,679
Speaker 1: if you'd strip steep A, that is terrible press. But

514
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 1: you could do it, and you could have a fight

515
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:52,679
Speaker 1: with Cormier. That's an option, but it has really bad PR.

516
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Or you could have him fight Derek Lewis again, which

517
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: is risky and could blow up everything he's going for

518
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: because I would think you would agree he's earned a

519
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 1: title shot. I don't know how much appetitie there is

520
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,439
Speaker 1: on either guy's end for that, though, which could make

521
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 1: that hard to make. To me, if you had given

522
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 1: this guy a belt I think it would have made

523
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: him more patient to sit around, and if he had

524
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 1: to defend it, he could have potentially gotten more money

525
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,439
Speaker 1: along the way. To me, I missed opportunity.

526
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have a hard time even defending my own argument. Now,

527
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 2: I stand by my own argument that just littering interim

528
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,400
Speaker 2: belts devalues the overall title, and I do stand by that, like, yeah,

529
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 2: I want these guys to get paid. I don't want

530
00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,639
Speaker 2: to come at the expense of that. I think UFC

531
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: can be much more creative in how they figure out

532
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: the payment structure. But we do have a problem right

533
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 2: now because if they just run him against Derek Lewis

534
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: and put an interim title that state. I mean, again,

535
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 2: it's kind of cheesy, like Derek Lewis doesn't necessarily even

536
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: deserve an interim title opportunity.

537
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 3: The only one who might is Cormier. And if you're Cornier.

538
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 2: He said it best on the broadcast on Saturday. He said,

539
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 2: I want to see Francis and Gang who fight for

540
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: a title more than anybody. I just don't want it

541
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: to see it against me. Now, of course he laughed

542
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 2: and then rightfully said, you know, of course I'd fight

543
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 2: him right. I don't think he'd fight him for an

544
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 2: interim title. So really the best thing that needs to

545
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:08,199
Speaker 2: happen is Stepe get into a camp right now, Like

546
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 2: the Ohio State Commission just basically says, okay, Steepey's gym

547
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 2: can open up, and we basically start the process of

548
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: steep a DC three. Which can we like realize how

549
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:21,360
Speaker 2: historic that fight actually is. I feel like we keep

550
00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: talking about it as an afterthought. Step Pey himself is

551
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 2: talking about it as an afterthought. The winner of that's

552
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 2: the greatest heavyweight and UFC history and really right up

553
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 2: there with Fade or so can we give that fight

554
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 2: the potential respect it deserves. I know it's hard when

555
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 2: when Frank the Tank is just knocking fools out this

556
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 2: forefight knockout streak, which is the Blades rematch in like

557
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 2: twenty seconds JDS Kane Velaskaz and now this all four

558
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: and seventy one seconds or less. It was so freaking

559
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: scary in like a in like a real organic way.

560
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: Like remember like the first time you watch pro wrestling

561
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,879
Speaker 2: as a kid and you watch like a evil he

562
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: and you're like it's coming through the screen. You're like,

563
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 2: oh my god, like, if I watch this more, he

564
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,880
Speaker 2: might kick my ass. It's the only time I've seen

565
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: that kind of feeling in regular fights. Is the original

566
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 2: build of Mike Tyson as heavyweight champion, where you're like,

567
00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 2: this guy is so crazy he could kill anybody. That's

568
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,040
Speaker 2: seven punch combination. That and Ghanu just basically went into

569
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: and just figured, you know what, one of these is

570
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 2: gonna knock him out. I mean, that's certainly not like

571
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,640
Speaker 2: traditional orthodox mma, but the fact that he's rebuilt himself

572
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 2: mentally and sort of gets the business now and gets

573
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: his role and understands what he has to do to

574
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: be his very best. He is such a unique attraction

575
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,800
Speaker 2: and how is anybody going to stand up against that? Yeah,

576
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,160
Speaker 2: I watched Stepe go five rounds and take a big

577
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 2: shot early and then expose him. I do not think

578
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 2: the rematch will look like that, and I can't wait

579
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 2: to see and Ganu get that shot. But I don't

580
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 2: want to ruin what we have now. So here's my

581
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 2: pitch and Ghanu, I know you only needed twenty seconds

582
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 2: to give Rosenstrich his first l Stay in the gym

583
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 2: and sit tight, don't take any fight.

584
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,879
Speaker 3: But the real thing because that's what's supposed to happen.

585
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: He reminds me in many ways. And I did a

586
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: live show on my YouTube channel after the fight, and

587
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,239
Speaker 1: folks were asking me about comparisons, and I didn't think

588
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 1: of it until one of my viewers brought it up.

589
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,119
Speaker 1: So I'll give them credit. I forget their name, but

590
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,640
Speaker 1: they're asking, is he liked Deontay Wilder? And in some senses, yes, right,

591
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the same Obviously, he's speaking in a

592
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: second language, so I'm telling you that's very difficult to do.

593
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: I give him lots of credit for how well he

594
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: has already done in the second language and how much

595
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,920
Speaker 1: better he gets day over day, first of all. But

596
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: second of all, like Deontae is sort of known as

597
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,879
Speaker 1: having all these other weaknesses, but the bomb. And to

598
00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: be clear, in Gon who has a lot of weaknesses

599
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: by versus of the fact he's just not been doing

600
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: this very long, and he also has the bomb. But

601
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: his bomb, I mean, with the smaller gloves, it just

602
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 1: seems to have an impact. More quickly, you had mentioned

603
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,159
Speaker 1: the four WHI wins there. I think Mike Bond ofm

604
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: MMA Junkie Head said, if you add them all up.

605
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: It's just two minutes and forty five seconds. Like, dude,

606
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:06,479
Speaker 1: that is shocking. That is a shocking amount of power

607
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: translated into fighting efficiency. I talked to people in his camp.

608
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 1: They told me that was the wrong combination. He was

609
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: supposed to finish it with a kick and instead just

610
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: decided to throw a left hook on the go, and

611
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: it still had that kind of an impact. He just

612
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 1: improvised in the moment and it still laid this guy

613
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: out completely, who, by the way, had nearly eighty kickboxing fights.

614
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: It is to me it's like he's got the power

615
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 1: of Wilder. He doesn't have that American bomb bast But

616
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: I think that they were just not There's an opportunity

617
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 1: if they can find a way, they can find a

618
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: way ABC to get this guy busy. He is more

619
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 1: marketable than I think a lot of folks, if not

620
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: necessarily realize that we've just produced to this point. There's

621
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: more to this story here, and everyone loves a hard

622
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: scrabble story. They're kind of that he has coming from Cameroon,

623
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 1: real hardcore dirt poverty, and to translate what he's translated

624
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: into his coaches tell me, dude, you've not seen it.

625
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 1: His ground game has gotten so much better, his cardio

626
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 1: is better. He can go five rounds. They're telling me

627
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: he's requesting five rounds in the gym instead of three,

628
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 1: just to make sure that he's on point. Doesn't really

629
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: matter if you knock a guy out eighteen seconds. All

630
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: my point is on this one is there's no easy answer.

631
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 1: I don't just say if they have to keep them

632
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,520
Speaker 1: on ice until the winner of DC versus steep A,

633
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: that is a very suboptimal outcome given what he's ready

634
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,400
Speaker 1: for and how and how I think he's a thirty

635
00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 1: four at this point. It's not not a great time

636
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: for him.

637
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 2: But an interim title about against an opponent who doesn't

638
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: deserve an interim title opportunity, and it's already a fake title.

639
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 2: That's suboptimal. But I think that loss he had, the

640
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 2: two losses back to back step A and Lewis, we're

641
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 2: the absolute greatest thing that could happen to him.

642
00:29:43,240 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: He is so mentally where he needs to be.

643
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: Some people said, how could he not call out Steepe afterwards?

644
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 2: You know, I thought he just handled it perfectly because

645
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:51,800
Speaker 2: he handled it who he is.

646
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 3: He's basically like, I.

647
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 2: Can't control UFC's title system and their opportunities. I'm just

648
00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: basically gonna keep knocking fools out. So I love that

649
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: you know you mentioned his heart Scrabbles story. Don't forget

650
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,239
Speaker 2: he was homeless too in Paris, living out of his

651
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 2: car when he first moved there and tried to chase

652
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 2: this MMA dream. All he needs is a snaggletooth, and

653
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 2: he's basically jewel. We love this type of story, all right, hey,

654
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 2: And also, and now, while we're here in the nineties,

655
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: it's twenty twenty. I love that our producer Jay, who's

656
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 2: in my ear telling me to get to the next topic.

657
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 2: I love that he could have all this great technology

658
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,360
Speaker 2: sent to my house and yours, Luke, and we can

659
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: make this show, by the way, during this quarantine, the

660
00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 2: best produced show there is in the game, and it

661
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 2: is Okay, it's way better than our competitors. Jay cannot

662
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: produce the nineties counter though.

663
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 1: No he's not. He's very, very very bad at that.

664
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: Jay's bad in most things unless you want to talk

665
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 1: about unintentionally bad cover band imitations, and then he's all

666
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,720
Speaker 1: over it. He's got that unlock. Okay, with that, it

667
00:30:51,760 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: takes us to the next topic. BC, Let's get to

668
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: it now. UFC two forty nine. We knew on paper

669
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,719
Speaker 1: it was a great card going in. Certainly we can

670
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: both say UFC two forty nine as an event delivered.

671
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 1: But it wasn't all good news. There was some bad

672
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 1: news as well. Jacquaray and two of his cornermen tested

673
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: positive with the coronavirus. They had to be well the

674
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 1: fight with your Rye Hall and Jackaray got removed from

675
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: the card, and there was a lot of bad news

676
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: that came out on Friday, and a lot of questions

677
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: that remain. By the way, a ton of press both

678
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: on the positive side for the UFC about the event,

679
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: Chris Mannix over at Sports Illustrated giving it glowing remarks,

680
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 1: and then also I saw Bloomberg writing about it negatively.

681
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: I saw the New York Times writing about it negatively.

682
00:31:31,840 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 1: I saw the Washington Post writing about it negatively. So

683
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: it's a bit of a mixed bag. Let me go

684
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: to you first on this one, BC. Over All the weekend,

685
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: from the jacquarat news to the afterglow of the fight,

686
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: what kind of response do you have to everything? What

687
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: grade would you give the UFC's general effort here.

688
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 2: Effort wise and success rate. I give it right about

689
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:57,240
Speaker 2: a C plus B minus because I do give Dana

690
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: White and UFC a ton of credit for pulling this

691
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:03,400
Speaker 2: card off and constantly fighting yes, not gonna dig it

692
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,640
Speaker 2: all back up. There were times it was completely reckless,

693
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: but joining with the State Commission doing it the right way,

694
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 2: paying a lot of money, which I know Dana Bragg's

695
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: about that a lot to get people off his back.

696
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,240
Speaker 2: But it's true they set up seemingly the right structure

697
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: and protocols to make this happened. In the end, it

698
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 2: wasn't perfect that system is set up. It's kind of

699
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:24,560
Speaker 2: hard to be perfect. That this is the unknown, it's unprecedented,

700
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: I hope, and I think I've seen, based on Aeriel

701
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: Hawani's subsequent reporting on Twitter, that the UFC learned from

702
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: this jockra situation, which hopefully ends up being just a

703
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 2: great scare. And what I mean by that is Jockarrey

704
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: disclosed to them ahead of time that he had been

705
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,040
Speaker 2: in contact with a family member who had COVID and

706
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: to see him allowed to kind of just you know,

707
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: roam that hotel and you saw it, of course on

708
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: Fabricio over Doom's Instagram live feed. I know he's wearing

709
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: a mask and glove, but he's within one foot of everybody.

710
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 2: Given everybody the fist pump and all that, that seemed

711
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 2: reckless when UFC hadn't yet received the results of his test.

712
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 2: So then they find out him and his team I

713
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 2: have the COVID they with asymptomatic. They put them in

714
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:06,400
Speaker 2: their own sequestering and suddenly that pressure release comes out

715
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 2: and says, we did all the right protocol. Well you

716
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: really didn't. And I'm not here necessarily to damn them

717
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 2: for that. I'm just saying I hope that they learn

718
00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: from that moment they tighten things up even more because

719
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 2: somebody had to be first. There's no perfect game plan

720
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 2: to do this. I am here to tell you I'm

721
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 2: happy what UFC did. They pulled this card off. I

722
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 2: was insanely entertained, just from a straight up entertainment standpoint.

723
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 2: Not only did it great to feel great to have

724
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:34,600
Speaker 2: this card back, the card was freaking awesome. And it's

725
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 2: my job, so I love getting an opportunity to do

726
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:37,600
Speaker 2: my job.

727
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 3: But with all that said, they are one.

728
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 2: Bad COVID disaster in Black Eye away from it all

729
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 2: falling apart. So hopefully the Jockaray situation is just a

730
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: big scare in the end, Luke, the other half of

731
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 2: it is why my grade for them comes down pretty

732
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 2: substantially at the end of the day, Luke, I don't

733
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 2: read fighter contracts. I don't know what's normal them putting

734
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 2: some kind of clause in a contract that says a

735
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 2: fighter can't say something that's a lie about the COVID

736
00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:08,440
Speaker 2: testing or they get fined. That to me, that's between

737
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,319
Speaker 2: Fighter and UFC. I almost don't care about it. That's

738
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 2: their business. But to have members of the media sign

739
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 2: things that don't just say we're not liable if you

740
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: get sick. I understand that we're in unprecedented situations. Right

741
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: you use the restroom at the Vice Star Veterans Memorial

742
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 2: Arena and you catch a bad thing. I understand you

743
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 2: can't sue UFC. But if there's any element in that

744
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,759
Speaker 2: contract which the media members were forced to sign and

745
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 2: they did that says they could be fined for certain

746
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:40,680
Speaker 2: public comments against UFC's handling of this, this is the

747
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:44,200
Speaker 2: beginning of communism. This is unacceptable, and I heard Dana

748
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 2: White's reaction to it. At the press conference in his

749
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 2: interview with Kevin Ali of Yahoo, and you know, he

750
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 2: sort of just tried to downplay so this is normal.

751
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 2: We've seen subsequently reporting from people like John Nash on

752
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: Twitter who have sort of countered that this is going

753
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,440
Speaker 2: too far when you're doing things that but even on

754
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 2: the surface, give the impression that you're muzzling people like

755
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,799
Speaker 2: us whose jobs are to report on things. That's where

756
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is fishy, and I don't like the

757
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 2: direction of it.

758
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you. If I go to cover a

759
00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: UFC event and they grant a credential and somehow through

760
00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: the course of it, with them taking their safety precautions

761
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: and everything else involved, and I somehow still get COVID nineteen,

762
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,399
Speaker 1: that's a risk I took. I don't really have any

763
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:28,560
Speaker 1: issue with saying I'm not going to sue you or

764
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be, because I trust them to

765
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,319
Speaker 1: not be dangerously negligent. I trust them to do at

766
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: least some kind of a good job. And if it

767
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: just happens when I'm out there, I either got in

768
00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 1: a car or got in a bus, or got in

769
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,919
Speaker 1: a train or got on a plane, knowing the risk

770
00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:45,160
Speaker 1: that I was potentially undertaking. I don't have an issue

771
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: with that. I have a major issue with the other

772
00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:50,080
Speaker 1: non disparagement clause. And I know Dana White afterward he

773
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: was reacting to a guy who was, let's be honest,

774
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: technically sort of our boss. I guess he's our boss, Yes,

775
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: Steven Espinosa, Obscure of Showtime. And he was saying that

776
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: the disparagement clause only says if you say untrue. That

777
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: is absolutely not an accurate depiction of what non disparagement

778
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 1: clauses entail. It means anything that could be insulting. In fact,

779
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 1: a lot of non disparasment clauses I spoke to many

780
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: lawyers over the weekend about this. In contract law, a

781
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,320
Speaker 1: lot of non diisparashment clauses will be they'll specify exactly

782
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: what disparagement entails. This one does a little bit of that,

783
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 1: but it leaves things so open ended. It could be

784
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 1: just about anything. And they say, Dana Whites saying, well,

785
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: only if you report things that aren't facts. Okay, if

786
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: I said that they weren't doing COVID testing, that would

787
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 1: clearly be not factual, right, But what if I said

788
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: their COVID testing isn't good. Well, now we're getting to

789
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 1: a point where we're having to interpret what that means.

790
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: Is that true? Is that false? That's a very difficult

791
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: question to actually kind of answer. And to me, it's

792
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: just an even if they're not even going to enforce it,

793
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: it's just a chilling message to send to media. And

794
00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:52,319
Speaker 1: I want to forgive the media here a little bit,

795
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: because I know how the game works. Their employers are

796
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:57,719
Speaker 1: going to say, listen, it's mma, we don't really care

797
00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: about journalistic standards. Just go sign the thing and then

798
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: tape the scrum and do what you gotta do. I

799
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 1: get it to do. They're between a rock and a

800
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:07,359
Speaker 1: hard place, and I understand that, and I totally get that.

801
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: But at the same time, the UFC, if they want

802
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: to say media, come cover us COVID, you're on your own. Okay,

803
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,600
Speaker 1: I get it. But if we are now being dictated

804
00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 1: to or at least having designed documents around the type

805
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: of coverage we provide, that's pr I mean, that's not

806
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:25,960
Speaker 1: any kind of real, honest media. It's not what we're

807
00:37:25,960 --> 00:37:28,320
Speaker 1: here for. It's not what we're aiming to do. Okay.

808
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: With that said, grading the overall weekend, I'm going to

809
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: give them a b BC. I'm gonna give them a bee.

810
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because I thought the event

811
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: in terms of its production, the tweets on the screen

812
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 1: got a little much, but I thought the card was great.

813
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 1: I thought the production was phenomenal. I thought everyone there,

814
00:37:46,360 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: from the commentary crew to the everything in between, I

815
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 1: thought they did a great job with it. It was

816
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 1: a home run event in terms of just the fights themselves,

817
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,440
Speaker 1: what they produced, and how that part of it was handled.

818
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 1: In terms of the COVID situation was I don't want

819
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,160
Speaker 1: to go crazy on them. I'll just say this, I

820
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 1: think we could all agree on something. If you're the

821
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: first to do something BC, you're gonna learn by doing so.

822
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:13,440
Speaker 1: We should allow a degree a degree of leniency with

823
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,879
Speaker 1: the UFC to say, we know, no matter how good

824
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 1: they try, how hard they try the first time, we know,

825
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: that's not what the policy is going to look like.

826
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 1: Six months down the road, they're going to figure out

827
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:27,240
Speaker 1: what works, what doesn't, what's necessary, and what's not. There.

828
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 1: The disparagement clauses kind of tell you they were trying

829
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 1: to do a little bit of CYA. But again, we've

830
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 1: already covered that. To me, here's the problem. When they

831
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: say the system worked, they're not wrong, which is the

832
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:44,120
Speaker 1: whole idea they had was screen everybody up front, contain it,

833
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 1: take them to the fights, and then let them be.

834
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: We can control everything in that environment. If that's what

835
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:52,360
Speaker 1: you're designed to do as an idea, that's not bad.

836
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,600
Speaker 1: The problem is they haven't really filled in the blanks,

837
00:38:55,600 --> 00:38:58,920
Speaker 1: which is okay, let's say somebody tests positive on Thursday.

838
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: Let's say somebody tests positive on Friday. I know they

839
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: sent out a new note to fighters being like, hey,

840
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 1: have you had any symptoms before you show up? Fighters

841
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: are going to have it incentive to lie about that,

842
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: like they do everything, because if they don't lie about it,

843
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: they don't get to fight. If they don't get to fight,

844
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:13,799
Speaker 1: they don't get paid. We know how many times they

845
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:18,360
Speaker 1: don't disclose having the flu, having twisted ankles, broken bones,

846
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:20,640
Speaker 1: even just so they can get to go and fight.

847
00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:22,360
Speaker 1: So to me, that's not much of an effective screen.

848
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is what that system that they've built

849
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,360
Speaker 1: in needs is for them to ask themselves the question,

850
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 1: what happens if something breaks down at every individual stage? Afterwards? Now,

851
00:39:33,520 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: how do we handle it because their entire system is

852
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:38,960
Speaker 1: built with front loading security and then just maintenance all

853
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: the way through. I don't think that's enough. I don't

854
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: think that's going to carry them through. They need to

855
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:46,040
Speaker 1: have other pieces where if someone hits the fire alarm

856
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,760
Speaker 1: halfway through a Friday, they've got other mechanisms in place

857
00:39:49,800 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 1: to contain that individual fire while keeping everybody else safe.

858
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: So they're going to learn by doing, but there's definitely

859
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: room for improvement.

860
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and to close on this, it was unique to

861
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 2: have the empty arena with the commentary being heard by

862
00:40:04,239 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 2: the judges by the fighters. It's going to change for

863
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 2: as long as this lasts. Kind of how things are done.

864
00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,200
Speaker 2: Fighters openly said, I heard DC giving advice on how

865
00:40:13,239 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 2: I could win this fighting criticism, and they took it.

866
00:40:15,719 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 2: We've really never seen anything like that at the pro

867
00:40:18,080 --> 00:40:21,240
Speaker 2: elite level. I'm not worried what it does to judges.

868
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: It's just interesting. I think it adds another layer of entertainment.

869
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,279
Speaker 2: I don't know how they fixed that unless they put

870
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 2: them in some kind of booth above the arena, but

871
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 2: this is part of They took a chance to put

872
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 2: this card out. It was a huge success. Don't just

873
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:35,879
Speaker 2: don't mute your peeps, all right, all right, just don't mute,

874
00:40:35,920 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 2: Just don't.

875
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,840
Speaker 1: Make and continue to learn about your COVID policy or

876
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: your protocol and continue to improve it. Okay, Last, but

877
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,399
Speaker 1: not least, BC that we already said it. Two forty

878
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 1: nine had a ton of great fights, a ton of

879
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: important ones. We've talked about Big Francis, We've talked about

880
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:52,879
Speaker 1: Henry Shudo, We've talked about Justin Gaetchee. Who have we

881
00:40:53,000 --> 00:40:57,480
Speaker 1: not talked about? BC? Who is another standout performer in

882
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: your mind that deserves to be shouted out on today's broadcast? Sir,

883
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 1: give them a hand.

884
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:07,240
Speaker 2: I want to say half points. Half point to Donald Serni.

885
00:41:07,400 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 2: I predicted he get knocked out. This would be his

886
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 2: fourth consecutive loss. He loses a spirited, competitive rematch with

887
00:41:12,920 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 2: Anthony Pettis. It was really great match making the preliminary card,

888
00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 2: main event. Donald Serni dialed back in with the pressure

889
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:21,239
Speaker 2: off and really turned back the clock. That looked like

890
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:23,600
Speaker 2: Donald Serni against Eddie Alvarez a few years back, with

891
00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 2: a game plan, with toughness. Those two just came out

892
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 2: there on like two and a half weeks of a

893
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 2: camp and just banged. It was fun to see. I

894
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 2: was happy for Donald Seroni because you had a fear

895
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: he was entering Chuck Lidell territory during the twilight of

896
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,640
Speaker 2: his career. The other thing is, you know, it should

897
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:40,920
Speaker 2: have been the fight of the night gaits ge In

898
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:43,880
Speaker 2: Ferguson ended up getting the nod. That was a savage fight.

899
00:41:44,160 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: It was a lot at stake. It wasn't the fight

900
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,000
Speaker 2: of the night. Shout out to Vicente, Luke and Nico Price.

901
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: It got buried in the undercard. There were no fans

902
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,840
Speaker 2: in the arena to watch it. But Luke, that rematch

903
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 2: between them, they put on an absolute war. I knew

904
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:02,040
Speaker 2: who Nico Price was, I'd seen him fight before. I

905
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:05,200
Speaker 2: wasn't really woke to the character that I was dealing with.

906
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,880
Speaker 2: This guy's an absolute psychopath in every possible way that

907
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: I love Luke. You got to follow him now every

908
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 2: fight the rest of his career, if you weren't already.

909
00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 2: These guys were insanely entertaining and in some ways they

910
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: kind of set the tone for the fun that would

911
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:20,520
Speaker 2: come the rest of the evening.

912
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,440
Speaker 1: I mean to think that this fight was on the undercard.

913
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 1: If this fight had taken place ten years ago, or

914
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: even let's say fifteen two thousand and six or so

915
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,480
Speaker 1: to fourteen years ago, they would call that one of

916
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 1: the all time classics. We just take it as prelim card,

917
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 1: not filler exactly, but you know, minor attraction. That's how

918
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,719
Speaker 1: good EMMA fighting has gotten. An agree Nico Price an

919
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: incredible talent. Vicente Luke had a rough fight against wonder Boy,

920
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: came back and rebounded against a ready Nico Price who

921
00:42:51,719 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 1: had already beaten before. I take my hat off to

922
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: both gentlemen, but the gentleman I want to shout out

923
00:42:56,360 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 1: on this card if I MAYBC. Calvin Cater wow man.

924
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:02,359
Speaker 1: I talked to him about two weeks ago to see

925
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,839
Speaker 1: how he was doing. Like all these fighters, they were

926
00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 1: trying to do their best with a stay at home

927
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:09,279
Speaker 1: shelter in place, whatever kind of orders that were there.

928
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:11,000
Speaker 1: They were trying to figure out the best way to train.

929
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:13,760
Speaker 1: He was supposed to fight at UFC two forty eight,

930
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: and then that got delay to two forty nine, and

931
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: two forty nine got delayed till May ninth. He had

932
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,960
Speaker 1: what ended up as a fifteen or sixteen week camp

933
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:23,879
Speaker 1: for this and he still did not have burnout. Took

934
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: a little bit of time to get going, but not

935
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 1: as much as usual, and came out there and Jeremy Stevens,

936
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 1: who I know had missed way, but Jeremy Stevens looked

937
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 1: locked on and dialed in from the word going this

938
00:43:33,080 --> 00:43:35,880
Speaker 1: one and was landing good shots. But Calvin Cater is

939
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:39,360
Speaker 1: so talented, he is so smart. He has some of

940
00:43:39,400 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: the best boxing in all of the UFC, irrespective of division.

941
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,080
Speaker 1: And I absolutely mean the words that I'm saying right now.

942
00:43:46,320 --> 00:43:48,840
Speaker 1: And then to trick him up with that Carlos Condit

943
00:43:48,920 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: versus Thiago Alves where it looks like we're in punching range,

944
00:43:52,040 --> 00:43:55,360
Speaker 1: exchanging hooks, and then I go to the elbow. That

945
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:59,680
Speaker 1: was magnificent BC. Jeremy Stevens, I give him credit, dude,

946
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,239
Speaker 1: Guys got wins and he's got losses. Fight He's fought

947
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:04,080
Speaker 1: the best of his generation, and I want to make

948
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: sure we say that. But Calvin Cater is absolutely a

949
00:44:07,360 --> 00:44:11,279
Speaker 1: contender at one hundred and forty five pounds. Lookout, yeah,

950
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:11,640
Speaker 1: your boy.

951
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: Joe Rogan called Cater at the dark horse of the

952
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 2: division coming in, and I think that woke a lot

953
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:16,560
Speaker 2: of people.

954
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:16,799
Speaker 4: Up.

955
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,359
Speaker 2: Shout out to Jeremy Stevens is Tan By the way, Luke,

956
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,160
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go as far as saying that's the second

957
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: best ten in UFC history, behind that time Stefan Bonner

958
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:27,359
Speaker 2: reyted up to faced Anderson Silva and got the six

959
00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,240
Speaker 2: pack ab shout out to that. Well done.

960
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 1: All right, fair enough. That takes us now, BC to

961
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 1: where you donks out there get to ask us questions.

962
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: It's time now for dms from donks as we wait

963
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 1: for the two second delay.

964
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,280
Speaker 2: Here, Yeah, Jay Giannis, we got the jam.

965
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,040
Speaker 1: Sleep Jay is a sleep at the fucking wheel. There

966
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:47,319
Speaker 1: we go.

967
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 2: Jay's back watching videos of that boy band No Escape.

968
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:54,880
Speaker 1: Oh well, they didn't run the animation, did you, Jay,

969
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: She didn't run the animation, did you? That was awesome? Well,

970
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: this show is great, PC, I appreciate it. All right,

971
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 1: let's get to the first question, because Jay apparently cat

972
00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:04,080
Speaker 1: got your tongue. Boy, Jay's got a lot to say

973
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 1: when things are going right things are going wrong. Have

974
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 1: you noticed that he gets quiet as a church mouse

975
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,279
Speaker 1: in the year? All right, BC, first question for you.

976
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: This comes to us from Ginger Beard Tommy. All right,

977
00:45:16,040 --> 00:45:20,360
Speaker 1: here we go. Let's see taking recency bias into account.

978
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: Which is the biggest MMA fight that got away A

979
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: Lesler versus Fador, B, Saint Pierre versus Silva, or C.

980
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,720
Speaker 1: Kabi versus Tony. That's a tough question.

981
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick b Luke because commercial always seems to

982
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 2: matter more than critical in terms of when we look

983
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 2: back and look Saint Pierre Versus Silva commercially would have

984
00:45:44,120 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 2: been absolutely massive had it come at the end of

985
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: their respective runs as the absolute elites of their own divisions.

986
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 2: I think also there were some elements that, you know,

987
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:55,720
Speaker 2: you could have titled that as like, who's the greatest

988
00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: fighter of all time? We're gonna find out in that

989
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 2: fight Now wouldn't have been true based on that matchup,

990
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 2: But although the other two are more important fights that

991
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,040
Speaker 2: we needed to see for certain hierarchies, this would have

992
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 2: been the most fun and would have drawn the most

993
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: pay per view bys of the three of them.

994
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree. I think that's generally correct. Kabe

995
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 1: versus Tony is you know, HiT's weird. We see. Like

996
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:19,560
Speaker 1: I said, I'm sad about it, but I don't think

997
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 1: it's fully set in what we lost, you know, because

998
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: let me just say this. The problem for Tony is

999
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:29,880
Speaker 1: that he, like Lesner, Fador just kind of never materialized

1000
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 1: and they kind of just went on with their lives

1001
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 1: in different ways. Obviously he went to strike force for Fador,

1002
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:40,279
Speaker 1: but with this one, Tony lost at this moment that

1003
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:45,360
Speaker 1: Justin is ascending and the uniqueness of his ascension is

1004
00:46:45,440 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: kind of not shadowing and drowning out the loss of

1005
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 1: Kabeb Tony. But I mean maybe it is a little

1006
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,560
Speaker 1: bit for me because I'm so focused on how well

1007
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,040
Speaker 1: he's doing. I haven't had time to process that loss.

1008
00:46:56,040 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: But I would generally agree with you, by Bee, you

1009
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:58,200
Speaker 1: want to say something.

1010
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 2: I was just gonna say to add onto the heartbreaking nature,

1011
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: like I really believe, like, look, I don't know if

1012
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 2: just engage you can be Habib right, like I said,

1013
00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: the ceilings now, I can't put a limit to it.

1014
00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 2: I genuinely in my heart believe that outside of like

1015
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: a perfect punch from McGregor when he's at his very prime,

1016
00:47:15,080 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 2: I believe Tony Ferguson was the only lightweight capable of,

1017
00:47:18,760 --> 00:47:21,080
Speaker 2: you know, outside of a fluke, giving Habib a loss

1018
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:23,959
Speaker 2: during this lightweight run. So it is like we gotta

1019
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 2: take time to mourn this right five times they tried

1020
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 2: to do it. Maybe we get it in some form

1021
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,279
Speaker 2: of aftermarket version, but it will never be the same.

1022
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,880
Speaker 2: Tony Ferguson's twelve flight win streak was absolutely insane. I

1023
00:47:34,920 --> 00:47:37,480
Speaker 2: know it's not all killer on that, but to be

1024
00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:39,440
Speaker 2: able to keep that together, to be able to survive

1025
00:47:39,480 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 2: the injury that he had and come back in six

1026
00:47:41,239 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 2: months and do no physical therapy and just be crazy.

1027
00:47:43,840 --> 00:47:46,160
Speaker 2: I mean, the guys remember that time at that at

1028
00:47:46,160 --> 00:47:48,360
Speaker 2: that public way in he ran off the stage and

1029
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,799
Speaker 2: gave you like this like a crystal like some kind

1030
00:47:50,800 --> 00:47:53,920
Speaker 2: of like uh.

1031
00:47:52,719 --> 00:47:55,560
Speaker 1: It was it was a it was a grip trainer.

1032
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: Oh I thought it was some kind of like kabul

1033
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: like spiritual like black magic thing.

1034
00:48:02,120 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 1: No, it was just training grip. That's it.

1035
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,279
Speaker 2: Okay, Sorry, well yeah, it.

1036
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 1: Just looked cool, all right. From Pulse Reloaded. Question for

1037
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:16,160
Speaker 1: Luke and Bryan is is prime Anthony Rumble Johnson versus

1038
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 1: current Francis in a street fight? Who wins? And would

1039
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 1: someone die? That's a morbid question. Jesus.

1040
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 2: See first, I don't think anyone would die, but that's

1041
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:30,399
Speaker 2: I mean, that's an absolutely insafe fight.

1042
00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 3: By the way, rumble wants that smoke.

1043
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 2: You know, I talked to him at the last UFC

1044
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:38,480
Speaker 2: Vegas card when they did that. Ali Abdelazi's media day

1045
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,640
Speaker 2: Rumbles is still getting ready to come back at either

1046
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 2: two of five and Heavy and that's a name, excuse me,

1047
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 2: on his short list. They're along with John Jones, along

1048
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 2: with you know, any of the super elites, so we

1049
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,319
Speaker 2: may see that. Yeah, I have no idea what would

1050
00:48:51,320 --> 00:48:54,040
Speaker 2: happen on there. I even thought what was great about

1051
00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,360
Speaker 2: the Anganu Rosenstrug fight on paper is I didn't know

1052
00:48:56,400 --> 00:48:57,640
Speaker 2: what that was gonna look like.

1053
00:48:57,640 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 3: Like, Yeah, if you asked me, who was gonna win?

1054
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 2: And gan Wu had better experience and maybe was a

1055
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 2: more well rounded finisher in terms of his abilities. But uh,

1056
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:08,680
Speaker 2: that's it. That's oh man. I mean that's like, can

1057
00:49:08,719 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 2: we take the best porn start like the seventies and

1058
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: of the nineties and put them together in like a

1059
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,840
Speaker 2: mythical bedroom in their primes? Right Luke or that?

1060
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,759
Speaker 1: So that's like, so I won't say what they're famous for,

1061
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,839
Speaker 1: but if you've watched as much pornography as me, you'll

1062
00:49:19,880 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: get this. That's like Sylvia Saint versus Asa Akira, right.

1063
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: Like Kobe Bryant and Kobe Tye at of Colorado Too

1064
00:49:30,239 --> 00:49:30,880
Speaker 2: soon soon.

1065
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, here's what I'd say if they ever fought in

1066
00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 1: the street fight. Number one, better not be in an

1067
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: actual street like, please fight on grass, right so someone's

1068
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 1: head doesn't bounce off the pavement. Number one. Number two,

1069
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: I give the speed edge to Rumble. But even then,

1070
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:48,560
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody that hits like Francis Dude. I

1071
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 1: just well, like, he's another what do you you you

1072
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 1: cover boxing? What do you make of him as the

1073
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,240
Speaker 1: Deontay Wilder of this heavyweight division?

1074
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1075
00:49:56,680 --> 00:49:57,879
Speaker 3: No, the comparison is great.

1076
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 2: We're one punch in any kind of punch, even kind

1077
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 2: of gradually, you know, grazing, somebody can finish them. I

1078
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:06,880
Speaker 2: want to just say this about that seven punch wacky

1079
00:50:06,920 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 2: combination that he ran at Rosenstreak with and basically made

1080
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,759
Speaker 2: him go like this, that's so frickin un orthodox, Luke,

1081
00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,480
Speaker 2: and I swear if you do that against any elite fighter,

1082
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 2: you may cause them to freeze in headlights and get

1083
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 2: him out of there.

1084
00:50:19,080 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 3: Like, can you game plan for that?

1085
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,359
Speaker 2: A guy that big just rushing at you with helicopters?

1086
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:25,879
Speaker 1: I mean, I think you either have to get out

1087
00:50:25,920 --> 00:50:27,919
Speaker 1: of the way or you got to be like DC,

1088
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,000
Speaker 1: where you get underneath it and try to pick him

1089
00:50:30,080 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 1: up and drop him. Because I think if you like,

1090
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:33,719
Speaker 1: here's what Roses Struck tried to do. If you go

1091
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 1: back and you watch the tape, he was leg kicking

1092
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: him and actually connecting with punches as he was backing

1093
00:50:40,640 --> 00:50:43,320
Speaker 1: up like he did. I give credit to old Jay Rzenho.

1094
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,880
Speaker 1: Dude he was. He might be a crazy bastard, but

1095
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:48,960
Speaker 1: he's a brave one, right. I mean, the dude had wavos.

1096
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:51,760
Speaker 1: He was trying to meet fire with fire, and maybe

1097
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: that works in kickboxing to a better degree. But with

1098
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,239
Speaker 1: those little gloves and big Francis just barreling down on you,

1099
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,600
Speaker 1: it works for about eighteen seconds, is the the answer?

1100
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:03,319
Speaker 1: That's how.

1101
00:51:05,400 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 3: No, you're right, and let me settle the spirit of

1102
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:07,760
Speaker 3: this question.

1103
00:51:08,160 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 2: I think Anthony Rumble Johnson hits harder with one perfect shot,

1104
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 2: but I think Francis and Gan who can knock you

1105
00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 2: cold with more types of shots.

1106
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 1: I think that's okay, all right. Next we have Alexander

1107
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:29,640
Speaker 1: z Shy shesh, she sheesh. What is Yeah? I'm not

1108
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,640
Speaker 1: sure what is your preferred m m a crowd, a

1109
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: drunk but energetic B Japanese c none BC.

1110
00:51:39,120 --> 00:51:41,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with drunk but energetic.

1111
00:51:41,960 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 3: I'm done with.

1112
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:46,520
Speaker 2: Give me the just bleed guy. Give me all those

1113
00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:49,399
Speaker 2: people who think they're dressed up really nice, but really

1114
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 2: they have an affliction T shirt under their tight dress

1115
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 2: shirt and and the and the stylist jeans with the

1116
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: B dazzled ass patch. Give me those people who feel

1117
00:51:57,200 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 2: like they're classy, because I mean, look, I've been in

1118
00:51:59,840 --> 00:52:03,320
Speaker 2: a lot of arenas for pro wrestling, MMA and boxing

1119
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 2: at the highest level. UFC's in arena experience is unlike anything.

1120
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,840
Speaker 2: And certainly that's because they know how to play the

1121
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:11,439
Speaker 2: right song at the right time and have the video

1122
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: screens placed properly. But it's also because that crowd comes

1123
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:18,640
Speaker 2: ready to thirst for violence from the opening second. It's

1124
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,840
Speaker 2: not a late arriving celebrity crowd like my brethren in boxing.

1125
00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: It is a we are here to see people you know,

1126
00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: potentially die in that cage in front of me, and

1127
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 2: I couldn't be happier crowd. And that's that's the reality

1128
00:52:28,920 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 2: of it. That's the truth. Look, that's the damn truth.

1129
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: All right for you I will go with b I

1130
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,560
Speaker 1: will go with Japanese. I didn't know.

1131
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 3: It's so trendy. That's true. They sit on their hands, Luke.

1132
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: That's so trendy. Okay, yeah, thank god you sit on

1133
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:42,080
Speaker 2: your hand.

1134
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 1: During this show. They don't act like primates who throw

1135
00:52:46,320 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: their feces at one another when they get angry. Yes,

1136
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 1: God forbid that they act remotely civilized. I don't love

1137
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: everything about the Japanese crowds, but you're asking me for

1138
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 1: a choice. I'm going to go in those three with

1139
00:52:56,719 --> 00:52:59,839
Speaker 1: japan Here's why. When we were watching two forty nine BC,

1140
00:53:00,760 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: I was so happy to not hear Woo's Oh my god,

1141
00:53:04,520 --> 00:53:09,360
Speaker 1: it is just finish you have you had your you.

1142
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,920
Speaker 1: It is a big deal. It makes it so unpleasant,

1143
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: it makes it absolutely awful. The booing I don't like,

1144
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,840
Speaker 1: but I've just learned to live with and that doesn't

1145
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 1: bother me as much. But I will say this BC,

1146
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,880
Speaker 1: and this is where the part that I really missed

1147
00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:25,080
Speaker 1: the fans. No one makes the good part of m

1148
00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:27,440
Speaker 1: M A as a live experience as well as the

1149
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:31,160
Speaker 1: fans do. When the fans are cheering for McGregor and

1150
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,160
Speaker 1: there and there, and they're in song together and in

1151
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:36,919
Speaker 1: unison that can't be topped. You go back to UFC

1152
00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:40,759
Speaker 1: Dublin where Connor beat Diego, what's his face? I forget now,

1153
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 1: Brandon and and to see that crowd they imagine there

1154
00:53:46,040 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 1: was no crowd for UFC Dublin. Would UFC Dublin have

1155
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 1: been as good as it was, No, it would not

1156
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:56,000
Speaker 1: have been. They were an integral piece of that puzzle,

1157
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: and I can acknowledge that. And yes, there's beer flying.

1158
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 1: I don't mind that. We've all seen world videos where

1159
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 1: they're showing some big park in the middle of Amsterdam

1160
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,799
Speaker 1: and then the Dutch score and everyone's chucking their beer

1161
00:54:05,840 --> 00:54:07,880
Speaker 1: in the air. Dude, that's great. I'm all in favor

1162
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: of that. I just can't stand the Wos so much

1163
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,600
Speaker 1: that I'd rather take a twenty four hour flight to

1164
00:54:13,640 --> 00:54:16,920
Speaker 1: Tokyo if that's what it required, just so I wouldn't

1165
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 1: have to hear it. I hate them that much, Luke.

1166
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,439
Speaker 2: You just hate pro wrestling, which I get. Look, I'm

1167
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:23,600
Speaker 2: slowering to a certain degree. I don't cover it as

1168
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,279
Speaker 2: much anymore. I love the real thing a lot more,

1169
00:54:26,360 --> 00:54:30,440
Speaker 2: believe me. But it's just people celebrating that they're there partying,

1170
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 2: having a good time. And I also think the average

1171
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: white lagger drinking just bleed stereotypical MMA crowd is a

1172
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:39,879
Speaker 2: smarter crowd than we give them credit. They pick up

1173
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:43,719
Speaker 2: on the beginnings of momentum switches, and that's actually the

1174
00:54:43,760 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 2: best part, when you can feel at thundering in the

1175
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,840
Speaker 2: arena that somebody's beginning what looks like it could be

1176
00:54:48,880 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 2: a comeback. I stand by those people, and that's nothing

1177
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 2: against the Japanese folks, but I stand by those people.

1178
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:58,239
Speaker 1: Okay, dude, again, I think MMA crowds have gotten so

1179
00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 1: much better in terms of the toetality of the experience. Notice,

1180
00:55:02,800 --> 00:55:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm saying one thing, the booze I can live with.

1181
00:55:05,560 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 1: That's not a reason to chuck the baby out with

1182
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,279
Speaker 1: the bathwater. It's the wooz. Dude. It's like, dude, we

1183
00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 1: have to do this at every event in every city

1184
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: for no discernible reason other than you don't feel like

1185
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: public space is a thing that you have an obligation

1186
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: to maintain in an orderly and civilized way. I just

1187
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 1: like being a good neighbor BC. I mow my lawn

1188
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: on time, and I pay my taxes. You know what,

1189
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, that's all.

1190
00:55:28,080 --> 00:55:32,560
Speaker 2: No, your neighbor actually asked you if they could landscape

1191
00:55:32,600 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 2: your yard for you because you've become such a pariah

1192
00:55:34,960 --> 00:55:37,200
Speaker 2: in the neighborhood, and you basically told them off. So

1193
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,839
Speaker 2: don't act like you know you're this friendly guy. You're

1194
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,080
Speaker 2: also telling stories about going out in DC with PTSD

1195
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 2: guys and just knocking fools out and dragging them by

1196
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:45,680
Speaker 2: their wife.

1197
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:45,919
Speaker 1: Beater.

1198
00:55:45,960 --> 00:55:47,440
Speaker 2: Don't give me that, Luke. I know who you are

1199
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:48,000
Speaker 2: on the inside.

1200
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, that's true. I'm also a deranged hypocrite.

1201
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,920
Speaker 1: All right. With that in mind, we go to Denny

1202
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 1: Bond fan double O seven. What Martial Arts Action Stars

1203
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: would have done well in m ABC? What do you think?

1204
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 2: Okay, look, I'm the biggest Steven sigolfan there possibly is

1205
00:56:06,120 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: in terms of his the cheese, the amazing cheesiness and

1206
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 2: brutality of his prime movies, and that prime run.

1207
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 3: Was very small.

1208
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 2: He went direct to DVD really quick. Despite having that

1209
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,840
Speaker 2: that that's somewhat memorable comeback when he paired himself with

1210
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: top rappers of the moment. But to see the quickness

1211
00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,319
Speaker 2: of his I kdo And you know we've seen him

1212
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:27,759
Speaker 2: in a lot of instructional videos with Anderson Silva and

1213
00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:30,080
Speaker 2: certain guys, and you know, I just want to see

1214
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,680
Speaker 2: if that could actually translate to the octagon. I want

1215
00:56:32,680 --> 00:56:35,840
Speaker 2: to see if that ability to just have insanely fast

1216
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:38,759
Speaker 2: hands and redirect somebody who's charging at you can be

1217
00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,560
Speaker 2: packaged with well rounded traditional mixed martial arts skills and

1218
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 2: see if a guy wearing a kimono with a long braid,

1219
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 2: who probably touched all the females in the room illegally

1220
00:56:48,719 --> 00:56:51,479
Speaker 2: before he walked in, could actually pull that off. That's

1221
00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 2: my choice.

1222
00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,080
Speaker 1: I am old enough to remember when it was discussed

1223
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:59,280
Speaker 1: heavily on what was previously MMA dot tv now Mixed

1224
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:03,399
Speaker 1: Martial Arts, and then Joe Rogan made the call out

1225
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:07,240
Speaker 1: during a broadcast of a UFC pay per view Wesley Snipes.

1226
00:57:07,239 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: For those who don't know, there was a time when

1227
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,719
Speaker 1: it was rumored, and I think they even tried to

1228
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: do and at least there was some kind of momentum

1229
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:18,040
Speaker 1: towards making a Joe Rogan versus Wesley Snipes fight, Yes

1230
00:57:18,200 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: during a UFC event, and Joe was all in my

1231
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 1: memory serves I could be wrong about this. Joe was

1232
00:57:24,400 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 1: all in favor of it. We're talking about, like, you

1233
00:57:26,760 --> 00:57:30,360
Speaker 1: know what Hollywood celebrity. Now, I don't know what action star. Okay,

1234
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 1: so Joe is not an action star because he's not

1235
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: had that kind of career. But he's been in Hollywood,

1236
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,720
Speaker 1: he's been on major television shows. The answer is Joe

1237
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,640
Speaker 1: Rogan or Wesley Snipes. I would love to see that

1238
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: fight or I mean maybe not now they're kind of

1239
00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 1: older and long in the tooth. But ten fifteen years

1240
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:45,920
Speaker 1: ago when they were talking about it, fifteen years ago, BC,

1241
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad at it

1242
00:57:48,360 --> 00:57:48,600
Speaker 1: at all.

1243
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:53,240
Speaker 2: Had no Wesley Snipes had some tax issues and had

1244
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:55,480
Speaker 2: a jail term coming, so I think he was fairly desperate.

1245
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:56,959
Speaker 3: But yeah, that would have been great.

1246
00:57:57,240 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 2: You know. I mean, anyone can say Van dam all

1247
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:02,040
Speaker 2: these other guys whatever. What about Michael Jay White? Remember

1248
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:04,080
Speaker 2: that those videos of him showing Kimball how to land

1249
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,680
Speaker 2: sneaky punches? That could be interesting.

1250
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: Yes, this is the gentleman who you will not recall

1251
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:13,200
Speaker 1: from books that are watching. This is the one that no,

1252
00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:16,440
Speaker 1: this is this is the one that Mike Perry openly

1253
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: called the N word on Twitter. Uh. He has been

1254
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 1: in a bunch of movies, including a movie that I

1255
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 1: did not think they pulled off all that well, but

1256
00:58:25,520 --> 00:58:28,520
Speaker 1: I appreciate what they tried, which was Spawn. You ever

1257
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 1: seen the movie Spawn, which comes from the image comic

1258
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: books the Spawn series, Who's like a sort of Faustian deal,

1259
00:58:35,080 --> 00:58:36,840
Speaker 1: kind of upside down Batman.

1260
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 2: No, I have not seen it. Luke, Am I coming

1261
00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 2: in there and I think I'm having internet troubles? Can

1262
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 2: you hear me? Can you see me?

1263
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:47,120
Speaker 1: I know we're live, I see you, I see you,

1264
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,800
Speaker 1: just find But is your zoom screen like super blurry

1265
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:52,760
Speaker 1: like it was when we tried to watch bast Cast

1266
00:58:52,760 --> 00:58:53,880
Speaker 1: Marquez or whatever fight.

1267
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:57,480
Speaker 2: That was, Yes, super blurry, not a little bit blurry,

1268
00:58:57,560 --> 00:58:58,960
Speaker 2: super blurry right now? All right?

1269
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:04,560
Speaker 1: I think Jay is doing the show that he is

1270
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,760
Speaker 1: powering everything out of his home, and I'm telling you

1271
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,040
Speaker 1: right now he's missing cues and the stream sucks because

1272
00:59:11,080 --> 00:59:13,360
Speaker 1: he is on cam Soda right now. I guarantee it.

1273
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: I guarantee it, BC. That's where he's at.

1274
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 2: Normally I like.

1275
00:59:16,720 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 1: To see last but not least.

1276
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:19,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, Normally I like to see Jay's face in that

1277
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:20,880
Speaker 2: tiny zoom window.

1278
00:59:24,680 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: Let me say this last question. I would recommend fixing

1279
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:33,680
Speaker 1: this dude's name Underscore Jack or Jack Underscore with three

1280
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,640
Speaker 1: k's the three ks BC never a good life choice.

1281
00:59:37,760 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 1: Either go with the two or the four or something

1282
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,640
Speaker 1: like that. Right, never the three.

1283
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:44,880
Speaker 2: But okay, he says, I mean it's on brand. It's

1284
00:59:44,920 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 2: on brand for the stereotypical MMA fan, but I'm not

1285
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 2: into it.

1286
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: Caught a glimpse of Luke Thomas's forearm tattoo, so I

1287
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,040
Speaker 1: want to know if you boys have any cool crazy

1288
00:59:56,040 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 1: tattoo stories. I imagine Marine Time ones would be good.

1289
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: BC you got any tats.

1290
01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: I do not have any tats because there are very

1291
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:11,280
Speaker 2: few things in life that I just fear, loathe and detest,

1292
01:00:11,560 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 2: and spiders would be one of them, Black licorice would

1293
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:19,360
Speaker 2: be another, and needles would would also be on that list. Luke,

1294
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't know if you're gonna hear me now. My

1295
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: internet's crazy, but I once had of aasectomy and there

1296
01:00:23,840 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 2: were three needles in so I'll never be getting a tattoo.

1297
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:31,320
Speaker 2: Thank you three needles.

1298
01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's referencing this one. This is the one that

1299
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: I have. It's the Yeah, I hear you, this is

1300
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:38,440
Speaker 1: the talking about right here.

1301
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 3: If you know you know what that surgery entails three needles, bro.

1302
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:47,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, you can no longer appropate, which you know not

1303
01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 1: too I think is the end of the world.

1304
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 2: Three.

1305
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:51,040
Speaker 1: I get it.

1306
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

1307
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't have any crazy tattoo stories, but I do

1308
01:00:57,080 --> 01:00:59,200
Speaker 1: have some bad ones that I'm looking to get covered up.

1309
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,520
Speaker 1: I I have a good one, which is BC. Do

1310
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:03,720
Speaker 1: you know what meat tags are?

1311
01:01:06,480 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 3: No, that sounds sounds a little spicy. No, what our

1312
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:10,000
Speaker 3: meat tags?

1313
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:10,200
Speaker 2: Luke?

1314
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: Meat tags are essentially okay, all right, all right, right? Yeah?

1315
01:01:18,840 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: It is a meat tag is essentially the information that

1316
01:01:21,280 --> 01:01:24,040
Speaker 1: goes on your dog tag, except you get it tattooed

1317
01:01:24,080 --> 01:01:26,320
Speaker 1: on your ribs, and you do it if your combat

1318
01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: arms in the Marine Corps, which I was. So I've

1319
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:34,240
Speaker 1: got meat tags tattooed on my ribs. I've got I've

1320
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 1: got a tattoo on my chest. I've got Asian characters,

1321
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 1: very small ones somewhere that I'm looking to cover up

1322
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 1: because BC, there was no way I was going to

1323
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:47,080
Speaker 1: get out of my twenties without making some cataclysmically stupid decisions.

1324
01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 1: That's one of them. But I've got another tattoo on

1325
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 1: my back and I'm looking to get I'm looking to

1326
01:01:54,280 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 1: fill this arm up completely, so we'll see how that goes.

1327
01:02:00,640 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 2: I'm so lucky, Luke, that I have this aversion to needles,

1328
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: because you know, I would have some really bad ones

1329
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,080
Speaker 2: I would really have. I probably have girls' names, Larry

1330
01:02:09,080 --> 01:02:11,920
Speaker 2: Bird's jersey on there. I probably have some really song

1331
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 2: like real bad song lyrics from nineties bands and no

1332
01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 2: one's heard of, Like it would probably would have been

1333
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 2: really bad. You know, I still question if you can

1334
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,600
Speaker 2: fire me, and this is the end of me on

1335
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 2: this show.

1336
01:02:25,560 --> 01:02:26,120
Speaker 1: For some reason.

1337
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: Three of them?

1338
01:02:28,880 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, With that in mind, BC, it is time

1339
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:36,200
Speaker 1: for you to take over the show with your favorite

1340
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: segment where we look at Deck's go ahead, good sir.

1343
01:02:46,680 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: from combat sports in the beyond.

01:03:09,960 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 3: And then check this out, Luke.

1357
01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: And then he does the whole Johnson spinning Yeah, oh Jesus,

1358
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,520
Speaker 1: because you were knocking out the guy who think it's

1359
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: a little us.

1360
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 2: Wow. Wow, Wow.

1361
01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,080
Speaker 1: All right, dude, this is I can't let me see

1362
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: you see, let me say something. I can barely see

1363
01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:37,720
Speaker 1: what is happening because Jay is powering everything through a

1364
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 1: potato in his house.

1365
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 2: Jay, how about that nineties count? You're so unbelievable. Oh

1366
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 2: what the f so yeah, shout out to that spinning

1367
01:03:50,960 --> 01:03:54,200
Speaker 2: head kick in ridiculous celebration. The guy look like uh,

1368
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 2: the guy look like Simone Biles right there. All right, Luke,

1369
01:03:58,960 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 2: all right, no, okay, all right. I don't know if

1370
01:04:01,280 --> 01:04:04,440
Speaker 2: we're live anymore, but we're gonna go on to number two. Uh.

1371
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,200
Speaker 2: This is an oldie buck goodie, this amateur boxing ko

1372
01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,400
Speaker 2: in which he turns this guy into mister Freeze. It's

1373
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:12,200
Speaker 2: recirculated the past week. Luke. It's one of the greatest

1374
01:04:12,200 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 2: things that ever happened. I mean, I think he knocked

1375
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 2: the guy out two separate times.

1376
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: Oh man, he stiffening him up, turn him into a mannequin,

1377
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:21,760
Speaker 1: and then just pushed him over.

1378
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:25,200
Speaker 3: I mean that's freaking brutal.

Speaker 1: way to make hot dogs.

1555
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:36,880

01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 2: I'm like, I think we got a fun fight here. Now. Look, Predisclore,

1686
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:02,800
Speaker 2: you know I eat hot dogs. I like hashtag old

1687
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: guy fights. I like the slop, Okay, I asked Oscar

1688
01:18:06,160 --> 01:18:08,680
Speaker 2: that question. He's like, Oh, come on, bro, I'll knock

1689
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:09,599
Speaker 2: him out in two rounds.

1690
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:09,800
Speaker 1: You know.

1691
01:18:10,280 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 2: That was the end of the conversation. Suddenly, four days later,

1692
01:18:13,360 --> 01:18:16,639
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor's like, I accept your offer, and this kind

1693
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 2: of became a thing for a couple of days. Luke. Now, look,

1694
01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:22,160
Speaker 2: I know everybody watching this is cringing their face off

1695
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 2: at this idea, and I hope I get a cut

1696
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 2: of it, by the way, when it happens. But Luke,

1697
01:18:26,720 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 2: tell me if I'm wrong, if those two forty seven

1698
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 2: year old Oscar and Connor boxed for ten rounds, you

1699
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:35,519
Speaker 2: don't know what it would look like, tell me that

1700
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:39,400
Speaker 2: you don't know what it would look like. True.

1701
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:41,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of things though that I don't know

1702
01:18:42,000 --> 01:18:43,720
Speaker 1: what it would look like that I don't have an

1703
01:18:43,760 --> 01:18:47,919
Speaker 1: interest in finding out what. I've never seen an actual

1704
01:18:48,080 --> 01:18:52,800
Speaker 1: shit sandwich. Fairly convinced I don't need to order one

1705
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: at the local, you know, bodega.

1706
01:18:56,880 --> 01:18:58,439
Speaker 2: See we go on habib up on the screen.

1707
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,200
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, I don't know what that's all about. I

1708
01:19:00,240 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 1: will say last week was a good week for you,

1709
01:19:02,560 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: so you had you started an international war between Mexico

1710
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: and Ireland. Number one, Yes, and then number two. You

1711
01:19:10,200 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 1: were the only reporter, and this is true. Well, subsequently

1712
01:19:14,160 --> 01:19:16,080
Speaker 1: other ones asked after you. But you were the first

1713
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:19,519
Speaker 1: reporter anyway to ask Dana to what extent were endeavors,

1714
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 1: financial woes part of the reason why they are pursuing

1715
01:19:22,960 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: an aggressive schedule to return now? He said it had

1716
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 1: no relationship. I'm skeptical of that, but he said, and

1717
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: you asked them, So I give you credit. BC. You

1718
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,320
Speaker 1: had a strong week last week.

1719
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:34,120
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Thank you, Luke. At least somebody understands. No,

1720
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 2: I didn't ask him. Hey, are you and Lorenzo still

1721
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 2: touching tips? No, I'm an actual journalist. In fact, you

1722
01:19:39,040 --> 01:19:41,280
Speaker 2: know what, maybe have you seen the shit is over?

1723
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 2: Maybe you've seen all the shit already? Okay, I mean,

1724
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:46,280
Speaker 2: how many more holgi farts videos can I find? Maybe

1725
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:49,080
Speaker 2: it's time to take a turn for the professional in

1726
01:19:49,160 --> 01:19:51,400
Speaker 2: the pot. No more karate kid caps, all right, no

1727
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 2: more weird vest Okay, It's time to get real here, Luke. Okay, Yes,

1728
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,080
Speaker 2: I interviewed Dana White on CBS Sports HQ Live for

1729
01:19:59,160 --> 01:20:00,000
Speaker 2: twelve straight minutes.

1730
01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,640
Speaker 3: I asked him the hard balls Luke, all right, so

1731
01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 3: get off.

1732
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,400
Speaker 1: You certainly did, now BC. We'd be remiss if I

1733
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 1: didn't give you my odds and ends, which is very quickly.

1734
01:20:11,160 --> 01:20:14,280
Speaker 1: There is a UFC event coming up this Wednesday, and

1735
01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: we've got a lot of programming on this channel. We're

1736
01:20:16,520 --> 01:20:17,920
Speaker 1: still trying to figure it all out, but it's going

1737
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 1: to be built around that, so stay tuned. Of course,

1738
01:20:20,200 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: like the video, subscribe the whole bit, Anthony Smith is

1739
01:20:24,800 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: going to be taking on in the very same arena

1740
01:20:26,600 --> 01:20:28,200
Speaker 1: where they've been for Saturday. They're going to be here

1741
01:20:28,240 --> 01:20:30,960
Speaker 1: for Wednesday as well as the following Saturday. But for

1742
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:34,720
Speaker 1: Wednesday show BC for the UFC, Anthony Smith is going

1743
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,840
Speaker 1: to take on Glover to share. I find this to

1744
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,240
Speaker 1: be a very interesting one because it reminds me a

1745
01:20:40,280 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a heavyweight dynamic, which is to say,

1746
01:20:43,439 --> 01:20:48,759
Speaker 1: heavyweight has a problem with younger talent pushing through because

1747
01:20:48,800 --> 01:20:51,040
Speaker 1: for some reason, the older guys in that division they

1748
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:53,880
Speaker 1: age out a little bit more slowly. Like at bansamweight

1749
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 1: crews look to be considerably slower than a thirty three

1750
01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 1: year old Henry Shuto, and you look at the rest

1751
01:21:00,160 --> 01:21:03,040
Speaker 1: division with San Haagen and Stirling and Yon, where everyone

1752
01:21:03,120 --> 01:21:05,160
Speaker 1: is about thirty or less, and you can just tell

1753
01:21:05,240 --> 01:21:08,800
Speaker 1: there's this youth movement coming through. Smith is certainly not

1754
01:21:08,960 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: like super young, but he's much younger than to Shara,

1755
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:14,960
Speaker 1: who's past forty. Yet to Shara is a very very

1756
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,120
Speaker 1: good fighter. And every time they keep giving this dude

1757
01:21:17,240 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: more recently anyway, younger people to like kind of like

1758
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,479
Speaker 1: push out those old guys to usher in the new ones.

1759
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:25,920
Speaker 1: That old dog shows you you could teach the other

1760
01:21:25,960 --> 01:21:28,040
Speaker 1: one's new tricks. It's not really gonna matter a whole lot,

1761
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: very very important fight for that light heavyweight division, because

1762
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 1: you got Dominic Rays, he wants a piece of John Jones.

1763
01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: By the way, John Jones putting up some deadlifting videos

1764
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: over the weekend, looking very very strong. And then you've

1765
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: got Jan Blhovich who wants to fist him to me

1766
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:44,519
Speaker 1: Anthony Smith. If he gets a win over to Shera,

1767
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:46,880
Speaker 1: that'll be the second win or the first win since

1768
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: beating Alexander Gustavsimp. So he loses to Jones, come back

1769
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 1: to beat Gustuson and to Shera, he might be in

1770
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,640
Speaker 1: line for another title shot to me big doings over

1771
01:21:56,760 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 1: l heavyweight? How do you handicap that one?

1772
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:00,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? And I like how you quickly looked over that

1773
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:04,720
Speaker 2: no contest in that house invasion. Bad joke there, I

1774
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,439
Speaker 2: got it. Look I like this fight a lot. And

1775
01:22:06,520 --> 01:22:09,639
Speaker 2: I've been critical of Anthony Smith in the past. He's

1776
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 2: a tough dude, okay, And and I do again thank

1777
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:14,839
Speaker 2: him for not taking that DQ title when he's rebuilding

1778
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 2: himself nicely.

1779
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:16,800
Speaker 3: The gusts and win was great.

1780
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:21,000
Speaker 2: This gives him that opportunity, especially with the continued back

1781
01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:23,120
Speaker 2: and forth with him and John, which kind of creates

1782
01:22:23,439 --> 01:22:26,519
Speaker 2: another angle and storyline there. And John took another cheap

1783
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:29,240
Speaker 2: shot at him again Saturday night on Twitter.

1784
01:22:30,520 --> 01:22:32,920
Speaker 3: If he can get by a repackaged.

1785
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,280
Speaker 2: Glover t chera who looks a little bit reborn in

1786
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 2: his age, this is really like, Yeah, this guy deserves

1787
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,840
Speaker 2: to be right in that dom Res blohovits conversation, I

1788
01:22:39,920 --> 01:22:45,160
Speaker 2: can't believe that light heavyweight is sort of repopulating itself,

1789
01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:48,559
Speaker 2: like John joneses cleaned out this division twice. I'm kind

1790
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,519
Speaker 2: of blown away that it's starting to get fun again.

1791
01:22:50,560 --> 01:22:52,519
Speaker 2: Where at the end of the day, do I think

1792
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 2: John Jones should go to heavyweight and fulfill the potential,

1793
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 2: the ceiling potential of his greatness. Yes, but if he

1794
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,040
Speaker 2: doesn't want to, there are fun fights to make. And

1795
01:23:02,600 --> 01:23:05,479
Speaker 2: you know, my boy, Maheta, he's going to be able

1796
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:07,759
Speaker 2: to walk again one of these days too, So there's

1797
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 2: some names there, Luke.

1798
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:12,040
Speaker 1: I saw him at UFC DC when was that BC,

1799
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:16,000
Speaker 1: like October November something like that. I think that's right,

1800
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 1: And he looked to be He looked to be not

1801
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:24,440
Speaker 1: running around, but he could. He was mobile. Thiago Santos,

1802
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:26,599
Speaker 1: So I would imagine by now he's in an even

1803
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:28,519
Speaker 1: better state. Hard to say exactly what he's gonna be,

1804
01:23:28,560 --> 01:23:31,720
Speaker 1: fight ready, but very very interesting moment there for that

1805
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 1: let heaway division. And you're right, it's like, dude, John Jones.

1806
01:23:35,080 --> 01:23:37,920
Speaker 1: If the last couple of fights have shown anything, he

1807
01:23:38,080 --> 01:23:41,719
Speaker 1: is still the top dog, deservedly so. But he's human

1808
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,800
Speaker 1: and he's beatable. I thought Dominic Rayes did it and

1809
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 1: Anthony Smith did not have the very best showing against him,

1810
01:23:49,040 --> 01:23:51,759
Speaker 1: But I'm not utterly convinced he has no shot against

1811
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 1: him either. I would like to see it if if

1812
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:57,040
Speaker 1: he can get past old man Glover to share who

1813
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:59,080
Speaker 1: by the way, I asked Lever One time BC, I

1814
01:23:59,120 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: was like, who are you at the right You're at

1815
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,479
Speaker 1: a party. What is Glover to share doing? Are you

1816
01:24:03,560 --> 01:24:06,920
Speaker 1: the guy that's pulling people uncomfortably onto the dance floor.

1817
01:24:07,479 --> 01:24:09,800
Speaker 1: Are you the guy that's like, you know, outside the

1818
01:24:09,880 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: whole time? Or whatever? He says. I'm the guy with

1819
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 1: the best stories. I'm the guy out back with a

1820
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 1: bottle of Jamison and a cigar, and I tell the

1821
01:24:17,280 --> 01:24:20,800
Speaker 1: best stories. I want that one. Thomas like, yeah, I

1822
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:23,280
Speaker 1: want there's a lot Thomas in there, dude, I want

1823
01:24:23,320 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 1: that for morning combat when he retires or so he's

1824
01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 1: close to it. I want to go to to share

1825
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:29,680
Speaker 1: his house, which, by the way, I don't think you

1826
01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: love far from you, by the way, No, I want

1827
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: to trap forty five minutes. Yeah, I have a couple

1828
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,720
Speaker 1: of Cuban cigars that I got from Columbia. Don't tell

01:24:36,800 --> 01:24:40,240
Speaker 1: the U the US government, and I'll have a bottle

01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:42,880
Speaker 1: of Jamison, and I want Glover to tell us stories.

1831
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:43,639
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be cool?

1832
01:24:44,439 --> 01:24:47,080
Speaker 2: Minden Hall lives right near there too. Maybe we get

1833
01:24:47,120 --> 01:24:49,160
Speaker 2: an MK ultra party going on. I'm down with that.

1834
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, we just get drunk and smoke some cigars to

1835
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,639
Speaker 1: talk to Glover about his crazy ass stories. That'd be awesome.

1836
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:57,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll go on Young j Check's Instagram account. I'm

1837
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 2: down for this party. Okay, Luke, did you want to Oh,

1838
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 2: Marvin Vettore's back as well at middleweight, and uh, you know,

1839
01:25:05,520 --> 01:25:07,559
Speaker 2: he's kind of a potential dark horse, so I'm interested

1840
01:25:07,600 --> 01:25:10,040
Speaker 2: to see he's in the main card. Opener. I forgot

1841
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:12,799
Speaker 2: he was fighting, thank you. I think he may be ansy.

1842
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: He may be. He might have he didn't before we go.

1843
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:18,519
Speaker 1: Let's get to it here very quickly. Did you watch

1844
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 1: the last dance the Jordan documentary? I think was parts

1845
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:27,080
Speaker 1: what was it? Six seven eight? I can't keep tracks.

1846
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,800
Speaker 2: It's so damn good. I don't have profound sort of

1847
01:25:31,280 --> 01:25:34,320
Speaker 2: statements that we've had in previous weeks. I'm just starting

1848
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:36,400
Speaker 2: to get that itchy feeling like I don't want it

1849
01:25:36,479 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 2: to end, Like I want to see this specific attention

1850
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:44,000
Speaker 2: to detail of documenting something I love, which is, you know,

1851
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:45,519
Speaker 2: nineties hoops in Jordan's run.

1852
01:25:45,760 --> 01:25:46,880
Speaker 3: I just want to keep it going.

1853
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,040
Speaker 2: I want to keep it going with this specific director

1854
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:51,880
Speaker 2: and with athletes like Jordan who are literally willing to

1855
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,160
Speaker 2: be that raw and real. I mean the man was

1856
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:59,479
Speaker 2: crying and needed a break while describing why he is

1857
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 2: the way he is, why he's such a hard ass,

1858
01:26:01,479 --> 01:26:04,000
Speaker 2: why that's the only way he can do it is

1859
01:26:04,080 --> 01:26:06,360
Speaker 2: to try to be the very best he can every

1860
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:10,639
Speaker 2: single second. And there's certainly something inspiring about that. Luke.

1861
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,080
Speaker 2: We all can't be wired that way where all of

1862
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 2: our personalities are different, but you gotta really pour one

1863
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 2: out for MJ. I mean, even you know, we've heard

1864
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 2: the story before of him going to baseball and all that,

1865
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 2: but even to see those involved in there be like.

1866
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,800
Speaker 3: The dude was working around the fricking clock on that.

1867
01:26:26,160 --> 01:26:29,320
Speaker 3: I mean, Luke, do you look in the mir sometimes?

1868
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,519
Speaker 1: You know what's interesting to me about this BC is

1869
01:26:31,680 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: if you are at all an NBA fan, or you've

1870
01:26:34,400 --> 01:26:37,800
Speaker 1: been one for let's say some time, whatever that might

1871
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,000
Speaker 1: mean to you. Like everybody knew that Jordan was a

1872
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 1: couple of things, or a few things. One a degenerate gambler,

1873
01:26:45,280 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 1: like sports fan like hardcore NBA fans knew. They knew

1874
01:26:48,680 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: he was a vicious trash talk or two opponents on

1875
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:55,640
Speaker 1: the court, and they knew that he was a terrorizer

1876
01:26:55,720 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: of his teammates. Dude, he broke Kwame Brown during his

1877
01:26:59,240 --> 01:27:02,360
Speaker 1: second stint a third stint in the NBA, essentially as

1878
01:27:02,360 --> 01:27:05,080
Speaker 1: a Washington Wizard, and that was that was not the

1879
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 1: first time he had really gone after someone. It was

1880
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,880
Speaker 1: just emblematic of what he had been Like. This isn't

1881
01:27:11,200 --> 01:27:13,600
Speaker 1: this was an open secret essentially to everyone who was

1882
01:27:13,600 --> 01:27:16,560
Speaker 1: paying attention. I just wonder how the rest of the

1883
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:20,559
Speaker 1: sporting public who's watching this documentary and did not know that, now,

1884
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,080
Speaker 1: how do they perceive Mike. I'm gonna guess they're gonna

1885
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:26,040
Speaker 1: be forgiving of him, partly because time has passed and

1886
01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,639
Speaker 1: because like, what are you gonna do? You're gonna argue

1887
01:27:28,680 --> 01:27:32,000
Speaker 1: with his methods? They worked, right, I mean, they won

1888
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,759
Speaker 1: every time they were basically supposed to. But it's funny.

1889
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:37,720
Speaker 1: It's like, it's interesting for me to watch this, but

1890
01:27:37,880 --> 01:27:40,880
Speaker 1: it's not. It's not exactly new information.

1891
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:44,439
Speaker 2: No, not by any means, but it is going, you know,

1892
01:27:44,600 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 2: underneath it and going a little bit deeper. I was

1893
01:27:46,560 --> 01:27:49,320
Speaker 2: so happy that they blew up that bj Armstrong segment

1894
01:27:49,360 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 2: because I you know, I remember that so vividly when

1895
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 2: he talked trash and You're like, oh, he's gonna get it.

1896
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 3: He's gonna get it next time, Luke.

1897
01:27:56,200 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about this phenomenon that's happening

1898
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:01,400
Speaker 2: from this film where at the end of it, I

1899
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 2: feel like I'm just sitting there with the TV off,

1900
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:06,960
Speaker 2: just like looking at my life from a distance, going,

1901
01:28:07,840 --> 01:28:09,560
Speaker 2: you know, like, you know, I'm pretty good at what

1902
01:28:09,640 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 2: I do. I give it all.

1903
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 3: I feel like I give it all.

1904
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:15,040
Speaker 2: But then I'm like, wait, you know, can I be

1905
01:28:15,600 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 2: MJ Colby level maniacal? Can I go even deeper on this?

1906
01:28:19,200 --> 01:28:20,880
Speaker 2: Do you have those same moments? Do you look in

1907
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 2: the mirror and say, you know, I've pisched people off

1908
01:28:23,560 --> 01:28:27,639
Speaker 2: to win before, but maybe Luke Thomas isn't really given

1909
01:28:27,720 --> 01:28:30,560
Speaker 2: at all. MJ kind of fires you up to realize that,

1910
01:28:30,960 --> 01:28:33,880
Speaker 2: you know, he's gonna turn every single practice we're talking

1911
01:28:33,920 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 2: about practice here into like life or death. Is that

1912
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:39,760
Speaker 2: how Luke Thomas approaches his day?

1913
01:28:40,320 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Quite the opposite? I mean, you guys, you know the

1914
01:28:43,360 --> 01:28:45,160
Speaker 1: reality of my life, dude, I don't have a lot

1915
01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:48,400
Speaker 1: of free time. I have friends, but I don't see

1916
01:28:48,439 --> 01:28:51,360
Speaker 1: them very much, like, not even taking into account the pandemic,

1917
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: nothing like that. My life has very much become this.

1918
01:28:54,240 --> 01:28:57,680
Speaker 1: And I taught myself everything I know about cameras, which

1919
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 1: is not to say very much, but I taught myself.

1920
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:01,000
Speaker 1: I taught myself how to make my own thumbnails, how

1921
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,080
Speaker 1: to edit on final cut, how to do live streams,

1922
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:05,640
Speaker 1: and I screw those up even to this day. But like,

1923
01:29:05,760 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 1: no one held my hand, and it's I've had some

1924
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:11,880
Speaker 1: modest success with it. So mostly after one of these things,

1925
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, I actually put in a lot of

1926
01:29:13,960 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 1: effort and I'm still a fucking loser. That's really what

1927
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: I end up saying to myself in the mirror. I

1928
01:29:19,160 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: don't ever have I don't ever worry about my work

1929
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 1: ethic or did I put in the effort. I just wonder,

1930
01:29:25,080 --> 01:29:27,320
Speaker 1: like when the ship is going to come in, because motherfucker,

1931
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 1: I've been on the docks for a while.

1932
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,920
Speaker 2: The ship has come in. Okay too too, it's called

1933
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,720
Speaker 2: morning combat. To close on that with, they did the

1934
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:38,400
Speaker 2: great story of Jordan challenging Steve Kerr and they had

1935
01:29:38,400 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 2: a fistfight. I'd like to see you become Jordan esque

1936
01:29:42,479 --> 01:29:45,840
Speaker 2: to our our extended team here. Maybe maybe it'll take

1937
01:29:45,920 --> 01:29:49,760
Speaker 2: you physically fighting Jay to get him to at the

1938
01:29:49,880 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 2: level that you need him to be.

1939
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:55,040
Speaker 1: Each week, well, dude, listen, if Jay can beat up

1940
01:29:55,040 --> 01:29:58,680
Speaker 1: your Rya Hollan sparring, which he has openly claimed, I

1941
01:29:58,760 --> 01:30:00,920
Speaker 1: don't know what shot I really have. I don't know

1942
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:03,559
Speaker 1: what chaan I have BC. If if you know, if

1943
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 1: he's beaten UFC middleweights cleanly, it's too tall in order

1944
01:30:07,760 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 1: for me.

1945
01:30:09,040 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 2: All right, he says, He says, spinning back kick. He
