Speaker 2: Flow rocking that Instagram live over the weekend, you know

38
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 2: he is keeping it high and tight of late. This

39
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: has got to be a Clark Florian initiative. Keeping the

40
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 2: hair this short. It has to be. It has to be.

41
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's hot it's getting hot, dude.

42
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 8: I was on the East Coast and it was hot

43
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 8: as hell out there, and the lettuce was long, and

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 8: I said, you know what, I gotta cut this damn thing.

45
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,079
Speaker 8: I'm doing a lot of training lately. It's hot enough

46
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 8: having pajama tops with the kimono, so I had to

47
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 8: cut it up top.

48
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: Man, there's a jiu jitsu angle. Of course, yes there's

49
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: a fucking jiu jitsu angle. But that's okay.

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 8: Now.

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 2: I've always sort of had this obsession. I've been shaved

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: my head since I was like fifteen years old. I'm

53
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 2: always telling people, you know, Zach Candido, our producer, It's like, dude,

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: keep that hair short. Looks good, looks great today. So

55
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: a lot to get to today. Obviously, UFC two forty

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: gave us a lot to talk about, so we will

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: get into that here shortly. Ray Longo coming up in

58
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 2: about twelve minutes, and a couple picks on this UFC

59
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: fight night, Covington versus Lawler. Don't forget this fight card Saturday,

60
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 2: August third, from Newark, New Jersey, three pm Eastern time

61
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: for the main car so combat and coffee this weekend.

62
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 2: But let us begin with Max blessed Holloway still the

63
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 2: standard upon which all featherweights will be judged here moving forward.

64
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: He beats Frank Edgar by unanimous decision fifty to forty

65
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 2: five times two I believe forty eight to forty seven

66
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: from the dissenting judge. A lot of layers to this fight,

67
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: a lot of angles to it. Not the greatest championship

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 2: fight in the world, but it certainly had its moments. Kenny,

69
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: I went back and watched it this morning, and I

70
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 2: think as the fight was going on, maybe at times

71
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: it felt closer. Watching it back this morning, I can

72
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: see why two judges had it fifty to forty five.

73
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: I think Frank Edgar had his moments in the fight,

74
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: but I did think it was a clean sweep upon

75
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: second watch for Max Holloway, who did not have a

76
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 2: scratch on him and emerges with his third successful defense

77
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 2: of this undisputed title. I agree with you.

78
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 8: I think there was maybe a round that was close ish,

79
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 8: but I have no problem with the fifty forty five scorecard.

80
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 8: You know, anytime we're breaking something down and we're coming

81
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 8: up with the prediction, you know, especially in this kind

82
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 8: of format like we do here, at.

83
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: The Antaic and Florian podcast.

84
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 8: You know, you have to go on what you've seen

85
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 8: so far, and we had never seen Max Holloway go

86
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 8: against a high level wrestler anyway, and I think frank

87
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 8: Edgar would certainly qualify, you know, being a Division one

88
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 8: wrestler wrestling at the ability that he's shown in the

89
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,040
Speaker 8: UFC in prior years and you know, getting a lot

90
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 8: of big wins over the course of his career.

91
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure, you know, could Max Holloway stop the takedown? Yes?

92
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 8: Have we seen him go against another high level wrestler. No,

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 8: So a lot of times you got to go on

94
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 8: what you've seen in the past, and that's why I

95
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 8: went the way of Frankie Edgar and all that experience

96
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 8: I thought was gonna be a problem. But Max Holloway

97
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 8: is just as tuned in and it didn't matter what

98
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 8: range Frankie wanted to fight him at.

99
00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 2: Max Holloway was just superior.

100
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 8: And then it seemed like he got bigger and bigger

101
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 8: as the fight went round, like round by round, Max

102
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 8: Holloway just seemed to just grow in size.

103
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: Max.

104
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 8: Max Holloway just always had an answer, was able to

105
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 8: keep Frankie Edgar on the outside repeatedly, and when Frankie

106
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 8: did get in and it was pretty deep on a single,

107
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 8: a double or a body lock, Max Holloway had an

108
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 8: answer yet again, So this is a guy that I

109
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 8: really see holding onto the belt for a very long time.

110
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 8: And I know Volkanovski said he saw some vulnerabilities in

111
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 8: his game, but man, I don't know if there's anybody

112
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 8: out there at one forty five, you know, as far

113
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 8: as the Volkanovskis and the other guys that are the

114
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 8: top five that are gonna beat Max Holloway right now.

115
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: So size matters, right. We always talk about it when

116
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 2: John Jones fights, and for me, it's always a starting

117
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: off point whenever we talk about John Jones in the

118
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: light heavyweight division. I feel like Hkarlo Asle made his

119
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 2: primary criticism Kenny of Franki Edgar was that he just

120
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: wasn't aggressive enough with the takedowns right in terms of

121
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: the specific entries that they were looking for, single takedowns

122
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: off of a certain side, And I think, obviously you

123
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 2: want a cornerman to levy that criticism and tell you

124
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 2: what to do, but it's easier said than done. And

125
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 2: Max's takedown defense obviously was on point. You know, the

126
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 2: few times when he had to sprawl to stay upright,

127
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 2: he was able to do so. He used the fence

128
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 2: to his advantage. The one time Frankie did take him down,

129
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,840
Speaker 2: he wasn't able to do anything with it. But I

130
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: do believe that in the UFC in twenty nineteen, it's

131
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 2: going to be really hard for somebody to match the

132
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,359
Speaker 2: frame and the length of Max Holloway. We were excited

133
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: about Brian Ortega because he could match some of that size.

134
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: I guess I beat Mago met Sharipov can match some

135
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: of that size. But I think the big frustration for

136
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Frankie Edgars that he fought a pretty good fight and

137
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: he still lost all five rounds. And I think you

138
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 2: have to talk about the size at some point in

139
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,719
Speaker 2: time as a huge factor and just something that Frankie

140
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,039
Speaker 2: probably wouldn't be be able to overcome. Up these guys

141
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 2: fought ten times. Well, you brought up John Jones, and

142
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: everyone talks about his size.

143
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 8: There's a lot of big guys out there, John, There's

144
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 8: a lot of guys with great size, but can they

145
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 8: use it?

146
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: That is the question.

147
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 8: Max Holloway has the size and he's able to use

148
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 8: the skills necessary to get the win.

149
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 2: So it's not just range that's the factor.

150
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 8: It's Max Holloway and his ability to utilize that range,

151
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 8: to utilize that jab, to know how to you know,

152
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 8: slip back and land a counter shot when he needs to.

153
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 8: And yeah, it just seemed that as soon as he

154
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 8: got his range and was dominating that aspect of the fight,

155
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 8: Frankie Edgar just couldn't get anything going. So now, when

156
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 8: you're trying to shoot, when you're trying to land shots,

157
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 8: it throws everything off. And I'm sure that you know

158
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 8: as a quarterman it could be very frustrating. But the

159
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 8: feel of a fighter once you're out there and you

160
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 8: feel like you can't just get a handle on the guy,

161
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 8: and you feel like the guy's just longer than you think,

162
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 8: and every time you try to get in relatively close,

163
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 8: he's throwing a jab that e he's countering, and he's

164
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 8: slipping his head off. It throws the whole game off.

165
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 8: And I think that's what Frankie, you know, was experiencing.

166
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 8: And I think he said it best after the fight.

167
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 8: I think he said, listen, Max is just better. I

168
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 8: think he realized that after going him, we're coming from

169
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 8: especially one at the level pushment of a Frankie Edgar,

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 8: that when he says that the other guy was just

171
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 8: playing better man, that says a lot.

172
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm glad you acknowledge that in terms of

173
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: Max Holloway, because he really he's just such a special fighter,

174
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: you know. I mean the head movement defensively right, just

175
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 2: perfectly evading Frankie Edgar's shots, and there is only one

176
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 2: inch discrepancy in reach. I mean, it certainly felt like

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: a lot more than that. But you heard Holloway say,

178
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 2: if you watched our post show on ESPN plus, strategically

179
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: lowering his level for much of this training camp, and

180
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 2: that was obviously effective for him. All right, So we

181
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 2: could sit here and if we had to do write

182
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: an entire a block on Max Holloway and how great

183
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 2: he is, we could certainly do that. But in the

184
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 2: nature of time, I do want to spin it forward

185
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 2: when it comes to this Alexander Volkanowski fight. I think

186
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:52,719
Speaker 2: it's ambitious to think it would happen October fifth in Melbourne, Australia.

187
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 2: That is not very far from right now. So I

188
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: just don't see that happening. I think Madison Square Garden

189
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 2: in November, even the year end pay per viewing December

190
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 2: is more likely. But Alexander Volkanovsky is the unquestioned number

191
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,679
Speaker 2: one featherweight contender, and I do think Holloway has the

192
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: appetite for the fight, and he's excited to beat this

193
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: guy who's on this extended winning streak. I think it's

194
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: a very competitive fight. Canny. I think Volkanovsky the former

195
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 2: Rugby League standout. I think if he gets Max Holloway

196
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: up against the fence, he's strong enough to pick him

197
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 2: up and put him on his ass, you know so.

198
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of layers to this fight.

199
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: He's got a ton of power on the feet. I

200
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 2: expect Holloway to be about a two to one favorite,

201
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,199
Speaker 2: but I think Volkanovsky absolutely is a live underdog. And

202
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: I think, with respect to probably my favorite fighter on

203
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: the roster, Frankie Edgar, I think a Holloway Volkanovsky fight

204
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: in twenty nineteen is more competitive than the championship fight

205
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 2: we saw Saturday night. Listen. It's the fight that needs

206
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: to happen.

207
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 8: You look at everything that both those guys have accomplished

208
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 8: that that's the fight to make. It's clear a lot

209
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 8: of people argued that Volkanovsky should have got the first

210
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 8: shot over Frankie Edgar, and they certainly have a case.

211
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 8: I think Volkanovsky hits a little harder than frank I

212
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 8: think that, you know, he's gonna perhaps be a little

213
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 8: bit stronger inside the clinch, But as far as technique

214
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 8: is finishing the takedowns and things like that, you know,

215
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 8: I think Frankie's going to be superior there. I think

216
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 8: he might have a little bit more experience when it

217
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 8: comes to mixing some of the strikes together.

218
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 2: But I think this was a.

219
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 8: Great blueprint for Max Holloway to see how he would

220
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 8: do against a guy like a Volkanovski.

221
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 2: And I think when you're.

222
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 8: Starting to amass this kind of experience, it just makes

223
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 8: it that much more difficult for guys in the one

224
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 8: hundred and forty five pound division to beat a Max Holloway.

225
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 8: You're gonna have to throw something that's very unique and

226
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 8: very different style wise than a Max Holloway at this point,

227
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 8: because now he's just he's getting so much experience and

228
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 8: he's only getting better. You talked about him lowering his

229
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 8: level change that was evident to start with the fight.

230
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 8: He needed to do that against the shorter Frankie Edgar

231
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 8: and a guy who was gonna attack with takedowns.

232
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: And it shows that Max Holloway truly he is a

233
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 2: martial artist.

234
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,959
Speaker 8: This is the guy who continues to get better and

235
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 8: that's bad news for everyone in that featherweight division.

236
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: He was born December fourth, nineteen ninety one. He is

237
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: twenty seven years old. He is not yet twenty eight.

238
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: And he pushed out a great post sort of acknowledging

239
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: Frankie Edgar at how much he has meant to his

240
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 2: career as a motivator and otherwise. And he also expressed

241
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: his disdain for the goat conversations that we tend to

242
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 2: have as promoters in broadcasters and media types. I will

243
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 2: say my comments off the top of pay per view

244
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: was that it's the greatest singular run in UFC featherweight history.

245
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 2: I still think Jose Aldo can lay claim to being

246
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: the greatest featherweight of all time. If you look at

247
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor's wins over Josealdo, Chad Mendez, and Max Holloway,

248
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,199
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor is certainly going to be a part of

249
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: that conversation. But when you look at the totality, Kenny

250
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: of this Max Holloway run at one hundred and forty

251
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 2: five pounds, fourteen consecutive wins, thirteen and then a a

252
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty nine pound win, I guess that's

253
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 2: considered a non featherweight win. But nobody can touch this

254
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: singular streak of Max Holloways. And I think Volkanovsky's very

255
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,560
Speaker 2: aggressive and he will try his best. But you're right,

256
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,319
Speaker 2: it's been pretty special that we've all gotten to witnesses

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: and he is potentially just getting started. So as far

258
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: as FRANKI Edgar is concerned, I don't think he's going

259
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 2: to drop down to the bandam weight division. I think

260
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 2: the Sahudo fight was really the only one that he

261
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: had an appetite for because Sahudo took out his teammate

262
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: Marlon but Ice. But Frankie also said Kenny, he's not

263
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 2: going anywhere, and this is the guy who made his

264
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 2: UFC debut. I think in two thousand and seven. He's

265
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,240
Speaker 2: been at this a long time. But I don't think

266
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 2: he needs to go anywhere. I don't know how you

267
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 2: feel about it. I think Frank Edgar is still very

268
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 2: competitive in the featherweight top ten. I think this is

269
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: the division in which he should stay. There are super

270
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: fights out there. I think potentially your thoughts on Frankie

271
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 2: Edgar moving forward as active UFC fight I.

272
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 8: Couldn't agree more. I think Frank Edgar still has a

273
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 8: lot more in the gas tank to give. I think

274
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 8: going five rounds against a guy like a Max Holloway

275
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 8: says a lot. That was something that Brian Ortega and

276
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 8: many others weren't able to do at one hundred and

277
00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 8: forty five pounds. I think, you know it says a

278
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 8: lot about his durability at this point in his career.

279
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 8: I think Frank Ginger is still very much a driven individual.

280
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 8: He loves training, he loves fighting, and I think is

281
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 8: a guy that could should consistently be one of the

282
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 8: bigger names than one hundred and forty five pound division

283
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 8: as far as a guy that the UFC can rely

284
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 8: on to be a main event somewhere at the very least,

285
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 8: you know, in one of these fight nights.

286
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: So Frank Edgar is a legend. He will go down

287
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 2: as one of the best to ever do it.

288
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 8: And I do think that he still has a lot

289
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 8: more left in his in his gas take, and I

290
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 8: would love to see some awesome fights in the future,

291
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 8: and I think he's going to give that. I think

292
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 8: they're all going to be at one hundred and forty

293
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 8: five pounds.

294
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: I mean, the co main event coming up this weekend

295
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 2: is Jim Miller and Clay Weeder, right, still getting a

296
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 2: high profile slot at this stage of their respective careers,

297
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 2: not contender types, right, And I agree, man, I think

298
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,559
Speaker 2: Frank Edgar headlining UFC fight nights and do yourself a favor,

299
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 2: you know, go look at the featherweight rankings. The division

300
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 2: is as healthy as it gets and there are a

301
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 2: lot of big fights ahead for FRANKI Edgar as a

302
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 2: tough moment man seeing his son Santino walk into the octagon,

303
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: Kenfilow as a father, that's about as close to crying

304
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: on the air as I've come. But man, dude, Holloway,

305
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 2: not a fucking scratch on his face, you know, I mean,

306
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 2: not a scratch.

307
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 8: That's what's so impressive, right, is to go five rounds

308
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 8: and to not have any damage at all. This was

309
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 8: such a welcome change because and the other thing to

310
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 8: be Frank to be candid, was the damage that he

311
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 8: took in that fight against Dustin Poorier. John, I don't

312
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 8: like seeing any fighter take that kind of damage. And

313
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 8: when you have such a fighter of such high quality

314
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 8: and Max Holloway take that kind of a damage, not

315
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 8: only was it impressive on the side of Dustin Poier

316
00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 8: but what he did, but also it got me worried

317
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 8: about his defense.

318
00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 2: And here he is.

319
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 8: He came in a completely different fighter. I mean, his

320
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 8: defense looked very good. He was in the proper range

321
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 8: at all times. And this is a guy again in

322
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 8: Frank Edgwell with a ton of experience, who was knocked

323
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 8: out a few great fighters in his day, and Max

324
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 8: Holloway looked like he wasn't even a fight.

325
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 2: He was fresh as a daisy.

326
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 8: And as far as getting that turnaround in October, John,

327
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 8: if he wanted to, I say he could. If they

328
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 8: don't do it, it'll be probably because of the UFC

329
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 8: side of things, maybe they want another main event or

330
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 8: another fight in there.

331
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 2: But I think he could do it potentially. You know,

332
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 2: that's interesting. I hadn't thought about that angle. The value

333
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: of Holloway and Volkanovsky as a headlining act on its

334
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 2: own right, because that stadium show in Melbourne is going

335
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 2: to sell out minutes, right, regardless of whether or not

336
00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: Volkanovsky's in that co main event slot. Certainly that would

337
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: bolster that as a championship doubleheader. But I think you're right,

338
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: that is only ten weeks from right now. In talking

339
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: to Max on the post show on ESPN Plus, I

340
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: didn't get the inkling that he wanted to turn around

341
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: for October fifth. Then he has certainly earned the right

342
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 2: to make that decision. I felt like it was interesting

343
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 2: that after the fight on April thirteenth, he said he

344
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: knew all along that he was going to be defending

345
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 2: the featherweight title in July, right, And that wasn't all

346
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 2: that long ago, right, And I know Tyron Woodley expressed

347
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 2: concern to Max privately when he accepted the July fight,

348
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 2: was like, dude, you just want five rounds with Dustin.

349
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 2: You're sure you don't want to hear about our time, right?

350
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 2: So all right, Well, Max Holloway man just an absolute

351
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: stud and Frankie Edgar as Studd in defeat. We congratulate

352
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,200

Speaker 2: And the Great Ray Longo joins us now Live. Ray

359
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 2: You were not in Ulukas Sasaki's corner over the weekend, right,

360
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,040
Speaker 2: you were not in Far East Asia?

361
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 7: Yeah?

362
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 9: No, yeah, I had sent to al Jo. I'll tell

363
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 9: you because I think my long trip days might be

364
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 9: coming to an end.

365
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 2: Oh how about that? But that's breaking news.

366
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 9: That's breaking news.

367
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

368
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 9: I got a couple of left I guess, but I'll

369
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 9: tell you. The last trip to Japan just jacked my

370
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 9: hip hook so bad that I was like, Buddy, I'm

371
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 9: sending you with al Joe.

372
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, it might be time to shred that passport. So

373
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 2: uh uh Ulukas Sasaki Rising, he goes down by North

374
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 2: South choke. Were you watching that fight live in the

375
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 2: middle of the night or what?

376
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 9: No? I didn't watch it live.

377
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 7: I threw him.

378
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 9: I actually only saw the uh the replay. I think

379
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 9: he got knead in the head and then he got

380
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,959
Speaker 9: putting that North South. I mean I think the knees uh.

381
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 9: You know, when Rising you can need it ahead on

382
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 9: the floor. Was it was pretty brutal?

383
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: Oh man, I'll have to read about that and maybe

384
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 2: try to watch it after the fact.

385
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 9: So h yeah, So it wasn't just that he just

386
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 9: he got need he went, Uh, I forget what happened,

387
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 9: but he took a couple of knees to the head

388
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 9: instead of like now you got you know, Kenny, the

389
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 9: old days when you would just swing back to guard.

390
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, now you now you now it's yeah, you

391
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:03,959
Speaker 9: gotta go old school with this stuff. Now he's got

392
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,120
Speaker 9: your head right there. Yeah, it was pretty bad.

393
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 2: So were you able to watch you f C two

394
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 2: forty and if so, your thoughts on on Max Holloway

395
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 2: and your guy Frankie Edgar.

396
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 9: Yeah it was, uh, look I watched it, you know, man,

397
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 9: it was hard, you know, heartbreaking at the end. Man,

398
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 9: when Frankie brought his kid in there, he's such you

399
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 9: you can see he's emotionally just he's such a good dude.

400
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: Man. Even in the.

401
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 9: The post press fight, Uh, you could see just everything

402
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 9: is heartfelt and uh, you know, we really wanted to win,

403
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 9: and anybody could say that, but for some reason, when

404
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 9: he's saying it's just it's different. He's just a good guy.

405
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 9: I think he's loved by everybody. And uh, you know,

406
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 9: look he made it, you know, somewhat competitive, but just

407
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,399
Speaker 9: not enough, you know, Halloway's uh, you know, a step ahead,

408
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 9: and that that was it, but uh, you know it's

409
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 9: uh it was a nice effort. And then you know,

410
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 9: for I still believe and I think the only thing

411
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 9: that I'm sad about that when I was watching it

412
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 9: was like, you know, he's thirty seven. Uh, Max's twenty seven.

413
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 9: Max is phenomenal. I love the guy. I mean, and

414
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 9: I think Frankie you know, even said that what a

415
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 9: what a true representative of the sport and everything else.

416
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,960
Speaker 9: But uh, I just I really would have liked to

417
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 9: see a thirty one year old or a thirty two

418
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 9: year old Egner in there with him instead of a

419
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 9: thirty seven year old that that that's the only thing,

420
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 9: you know, but with all the stuff that goes on

421
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 9: in the waiting and post bonements before you know, you know,

422
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 9: you look, you're thirty four, You turn around, you're thirty seven.

423
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 9: So I would have liked to have seen the younger

424
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 9: guy look like he might have slowed down a little

425
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 9: bit but uh, you know still, you just it's just

426
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 9: more he's more a metaphor for life. Like like, again,

427
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 9: it's not gonna stop him. He's always trying. There was

428
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 9: you know, he was just I don't know, it's just

429
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 9: that there was a lot in there. Yeah, and I

430
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:59,280
Speaker 9: and I do believe Kenny. He's gonna beat ninety percent

431
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,680
Speaker 9: of the other people. I know, he's just gonna have

432
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 9: he's gonna have trouble with the upper echelon.

433
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 8: When you see a guy in Franki Edgar, and you've

434
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 8: been around him, You've been around his trainers, and you

435
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 8: know this is a guy that when he says he

436
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,400
Speaker 8: trains for a fight, he's done everything possible to win

437
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 8: that fight. There's a guy that doesn't cut corners and

438
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 8: he and him coming up Frankie coming up short, I

439
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 8: think is what makes it so difficult to see him lose.

440
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:24,640
Speaker 9: No, Yeah, like and again I think what you said

441
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 9: is right, Like, yeah, there's just no bullshit in that guy.

442
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 9: I think you know you're not hearing anything bullshitty. It's

443
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 9: all sincere. It's from his coming right from his soul.

444
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 9: And even when he said, look, I just feel like

445
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 9: I let my team down they put a lot into

446
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 9: it too, Like people could say that, but I felt

447
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 9: he really meant that. And I know those guys, so

448
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 9: I know that's true anyway, But that was just it

449
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 9: was that was tough, you know what I mean. I

450
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 9: think a lot of people were pulling for Frankie, and uh, yeah,

451
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 9: he's just a good dude. And you know, like again,

452
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 9: I do believe, uh you know, he could be ninety

453
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 9: send of the people out there, I really do. I

454
00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,840
Speaker 9: don't think nothing's gonna happen, But like, what else does

455
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 9: he want to accomplish? He was a champion, you know

456
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 9: what I mean. So he's he was a champion at

457
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 9: fifty five. He's fought the best of the best. He's

458
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 9: fought everybody. You know, it can only you know, come

459
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 9: down to like to thrill the love of competition. And

460
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 9: you know, it's a nice paycheck. And he's got a family.

461
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 9: I'm sure he wants to take care of. But I mean,

462
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 9: he's another guy. He's just got that's a Hall of

463
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 9: fameer for sure, and he's got absolutely nothing to prove.

464
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 9: But I do believe he loves competing. And yeah, Kenny,

465
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 9: I think what you said is right, you know, He's

466
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 9: doing everything and that's kind of in a way, that's

467
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 9: a good thing, and it's a sad thing because I

468
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 9: just don't think it was enough no matter what he

469
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 9: did to be the Max Holloway, who was just a

470
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 9: phenomenal fighter, and his length and the way he can,

471
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 9: you know, maintain his distance and range, his phenomenal takedown

472
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 9: defense was great.

473
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: It was it just was.

474
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 5: It was good.

475
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 9: I enjoyed the fight. It was like bittersweet, but it

476
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 9: was good.

477
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 2: Edgar's last shot at an undisputed UFC title was when

478
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 2: he was thirty one years old, believe it or not,

479
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: in twenty thirteen. He did fight Jose Outa at UFC

480
00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: two hundred and twenty sixteen for an interim belt. But

481
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: to your point, Ray, in terms of Mark Henry and

482
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 2: everybody on down, this is just gonna be a tough

483
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: one that's gonna have a lasting effect because it had

484
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: been six years since they had fought for an undisputed belt.

485
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: Frankie Edgar is the first fighter he ever trained. He's family,

486
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 2: and I think you just really saw, to your point,

487
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 2: off the top, how badly they wanted this one for

488
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: legacy and everything else.

489
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,959
Speaker 9: Yeah, Yeah, without a d and I think I texted

490
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 9: you when I was doing good when his kid came

491
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:44,160
Speaker 9: into the octagon, I just yeah, I just started crying.

492
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,960
Speaker 9: That was just I don't know, it's just you know,

493
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 9: for anybody, but more more so for him. But you know,

494
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 9: the stuff with you know, your family is always always rough,

495
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 9: you know, especially when they start last year, if something

496
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 9: bad happens to you and they you know, like off

497
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 9: screen and you see your wife or somebody your mother

498
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 9: or thought, it's it's naughty man. But but you know,

499
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 9: he's a good dude. And like again, I think he

500
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 9: I think he told you exactly the way he feels.

501
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,440
Speaker 9: He's not gonna look it the term he'll be back.

502
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 9: Like again, that question to me is you have absolutely

503
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 9: nothing to prove you like fight, I'm sure, like I

504
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 9: do believe, you know, he's just a bad fight for

505
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 9: anybody who's not willing to really get pressed. I mean

506
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 9: he never stopped trying. Oh he was, and he was

507
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 9: later in combos. You know, he was catching at the

508
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 9: you know, at the end of the at the end

509
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 9: of his combos, the right hand over the top looked good.

510
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 9: He was late kicking just you know, not enough.

511
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: It's it's it.

512
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 9: It was a it was a good fight. And yeah

513
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,960
Speaker 9: no he's uh, his legacy to me is already in cement.

514
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, before we let you go. We teased

515
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 2: it last week. Chris Widman indeed getting the main event

516
00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 2: slot at t D Garden in Boston, Massachusetts against Dominic Reyis.

517
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 2: And they've gone back and forth a little bit on

518
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 2: social media. But I expect it to be pretty civil

519
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: between those two. But I will say Ray, and I'm

520
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 2: not saying this to be funny. You know, me as

521
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 2: a Boston guy, uh who leads Green and everything else,

522
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 2: I feel like it's my civic duty to try to

523
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 2: get all of New England like against you guys in

524
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: this fight.

525
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 9: I really do well hold on, wait, Kenny, I think

526
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 9: this way he's Kenny. Can you can we reel him

527
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 9: back in Keny?

528
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:28,119
Speaker 2: Can?

529
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 9: I do you even know who Coley Strinsky is?

530
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 2: You know? We god damn right number eight?

531
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 9: You know you never see the special Uni. I love

Speaker 2: Of course, Tony c come on, just hey, and I

00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,120
Speaker 2: love the team so long.

536
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 9: I'm gonna say something on the air. I lovest so you,

537
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 9: I say, you can't turn bots against me, okay, and

538
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 9: my faithful acumens from like nineteen fifty steed at nineteen

539
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 9: eighty will blow anybody away.

540
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 2: An he just killed you with kindness? How do you

541
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: encounter that? How do you tell that that was actually

542
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 2: a great reply? Right up in here at Jesus, I'll

543
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: tell you.

544
00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 9: I'm gonna say a quick funny stuff, quick funny story

545
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 9: I had a years ago. This is thirty years A

546
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 9: guy I knew, a guy who was a scout for

547
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 9: the Cardinals when Bob Gibson was pitching. So we'll go

548
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 9: maybe even way back, because he was way opener than

549
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 9: me if you're around anymore. But you know, he would

550
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,600
Speaker 9: say they would always bring in the prospects and have

551
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 9: him talked to the team psychologist. And one guy that

552
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 9: didn't make it for whatever team of what he was

553
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 9: scouting for, but went on to become somebody really pretty

554
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,360
Speaker 9: big was Jim Rice. He said he turned him down

555
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 9: because of a Yeah, like again, it could be bullshit,

556
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 9: but obviously Jim Rice was a great baseball player. But

557
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 9: Ted Williams buddy, Yet did you ever just listen to

558
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 9: that guy talk on how he broke everything down and

559
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 9: look at his books on how to hit baseballs.

560
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 2: It's absolutely I was just sports.

561
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 9: You will last turn Boston against me.

562
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,840
Speaker 2: I was a longtime sports radio guy in Boston. You

563
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: can be sure I at one point did some extensive

564
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 2: homework on Ted Williams and Ken Flow. Likes you dropping that,

565
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 2: Jim Rice right, because that was probably his prime as

566
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: a Red Sox fan in the nineteen eighties, Number fourteen,

567
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 2: Jimmy Rice, all right, Well, I won't try to turn

568
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 2: all of the New England against you. I can't promise though,

569
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 2: that I haven't already reached out to Dominic Rays. You know,

570
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, like it's it's it's very interesting because

571
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,040
Speaker 2: mix martial arts is such a global sport that it's like, oh,

572
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,239
Speaker 2: you take the Long Islander and you know he can

573
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: drive to the fight in Boston and you know, but

574
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just the New York Boston rivalry

575
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: is such that I'm having having a little bit of

576
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:41,919
Speaker 2: a hard time with this and I'm not.

577
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:45,480
Speaker 9: Hey, you know, I heard true to greatful. I don't

578
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 9: even know if it's true that Dominic Rays was out

579
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 9: on Long Island this weekend. Evidently he went to Uh,

580
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 9: I think he went to Stubley Brook. He played football.

581
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:54,679
Speaker 2: Oh that's right, yes he did.

582
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 9: Yeah, is that that was crazy? As somebody called me

583
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 9: and said, I think he was in Franklin Square or something,

584
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 9: and so oh wow interesting. Well yeah, you know he's

585
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 9: already doing his recon work.

586
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well we'll we'll, we'll see how it goes. I'm

587
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 2: very curious to see uh that fight obviously, I mean,

588
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: definitely a challenge on your hands. And uh also excited

589
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 2: to see you know who will have the crowd. It'll

590
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: probably be Widman, much to my dismay, but we'll see.

591
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 9: Oh, Boston, I love you, Boston.

592
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 2: There you go. I'llgo trying to get it on the side,

593
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: all right, man, Uh, we'll have a great week. Unless

594
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 2: you got anything else, we will Uh We'll let you go,

595
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,199
Speaker 2: uh hit pads and push sleds.

596
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 9: That's it, man, I love it. I will talk to

597
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 9: you guys next week. And you guys always make my

598
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 9: Monday morning.

599
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: God taking these guys there is Raymond Peter Longo, staple

600
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 2: of the Anak and Flooring podcast dating to episode one.

601
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 2: Oh you know, I'm gonna stay on this just for

602
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 2: a minute, Kenny, because you know, I'm very impassioned about this,

603
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 2: and I get promotionally why Wiman is headlining in Boston,

604
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 2: and I have a good personal relationship with the guy,

605
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: consider him a friend. But I really hope Donald Rays

606
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 2: uses this as a rallying cry and tries to get

607
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,200
Speaker 2: people to recognize that you don't walk out as a

608
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: New Yorker and TV Garden and have the crowd eating

609
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 2: out of your hands.

610
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 8: You know, I feel you, man, Chris is a good

611
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 8: dude man, But great, God, great, listen, this is my town.

612
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 8: You know what New York is in there. It's pissing

613
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 8: you off, basically. But Ray had a nice counter. He

614
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 8: had a nice counter, and uh, I don't know. We'll

615
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 8: see how we treat him in the over the next

616
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 8: few weeks.

617
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: I promise I will take the high road if I

618
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 2: am interviewing Chris Widman inside the octagon of TD Garden

619
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 2: after the fight, But if that entire crowd is showering

620
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: us with booze at that point in time, I will

621
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 2: not mind. All right, you brutally honest, you have see

622
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 2: two forty Holloway versus Edgar. Let us get back to it.

623
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 2: I guess we exhausted the main event enough, Chris Cyborg.

624
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 2: I thought she looked great on the feet against Felicia Spencer.

625
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 2: One thing that a lot of fans were talking about

626
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 2: is how maybe the narrative becomes Felicia Spencer on the broadcast, Kenny.

627
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: But I do think that she's a big part of

628
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: the narrative in this fight. She absorbed more significant strikes

629
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 2: from Chris Cyborg than anyone has in Cyborg's Hall of

630
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,960
Speaker 2: Fame career. I think Spencer is a big game player, right.

631
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 2: She's a full time Algebra one teacher, so I think

632
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: once she's able to not be teaching full time. And

633
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 2: by the way, she teaches at a virtual school, so

634
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: the summer's her busiest time, so she's not I mean,

635
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: she's having a full training camp, but imagine she's a

636
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: full time fighter, which she can do. I just think

637
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 2: she has a lot of intangible qualities not nervous at

638
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,320
Speaker 2: all fighting Chris Cyborg, that are gonna really help her

639
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 2: going forward. Featherweight rankings don't even exist right now for

640
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: the women, so I don't know exactly what the future holds.

641
00:29:51,040 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 2: But your thoughts on the co main event and Chris

642
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 2: Cyborg's rather dominant performance.

643
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 8: In my mind, listen, I thought it was a very

644
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 8: impressive demonstration of heart by both women. First of all,

645
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 8: Felicia Spencer took a lot of big shots from Cyborg.

646
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 8: She never let that intimidate her or throw her off

647
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 8: her game. And I think the intimidation factor from Cyborg

648
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 8: comes in the form of her power of her punches.

649
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 8: And I think a lot of fighters kind of fold

650
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 8: after that. Felicia Spencer was not one of them. Cyborg

651
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 8: really had to, you know, continue landing shot after shot,

652
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 8: and I think she was a little bit surprised after

653
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 8: that first round.

654
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 2: That she was still sticking around there after all the

655
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: damage that she put on her.

656
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 8: But I think this was another dominant performance from Cyborg,

657
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 8: one of the greatest female fighters that we have ever seen,

658
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 8: and she was, you know, just dominant. She was able

659
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 8: to stop a lot of those takedown attempts and come

660
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 8: right back and and stay in this fight, consistently putting

661
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 8: out damage on Felicia Spencer, who continued to press forward herself.

662
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,560
Speaker 2: And I thought this was a great fight because of that.

663
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 2: Cyborg is still just thirty four years old, so even

664
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 2: though maybe she has lost a step, even though I

665
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 2: can wonder aloud how competitive a rematch with Amanda Nenz

666
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: would be. I still think that Cyborg is, you know,

667
00:31:16,480 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: number two in the world for sure, and certainly prove

668
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:22,720
Speaker 2: that against the very game Felicia Spencer. I think it's

669
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 2: interesting to see where Cyborg goes from here, you know,

670
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 2: because I think other than the Nonz fight in the UFC,

671
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 2: I'm not sure what exactly there is for her, and

672
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 2: if she does, as Dana White seems to suggest, maybe

673
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 2: want to just prize fight and make the most amount

674
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 2: of money right now and have some fights that maybe

675
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 2: aren't Amanda Nenez. I think there are gonna be a

676
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 2: lot of opportunities for her outside of this division. But

677
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 2: one thing about the broadcast, I will say, the notion

678
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 2: that there would be any promotional narrative that's discussed beforehand

679
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 2: is absolutely ridiculous. Right Chris Cyborg was a huge favorite.

680
00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 2: She got opened up with a cut early. Felicia Spencer

681
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 2: was making her second UFC star against this world beater,

682
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 2: and sometimes the broadcast sort of deviates in that direction

683
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 2: because you're so impressed with the fighter who is losing.

684
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 2: But if you go back and listen to the broadcast,

685
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 2: I thought Cyborg had a ten eight and round three, right,

686
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 2: I thought she was sharp as hell on the feet.

687
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: I didn't think Spencer won any rounds, but seeing someone

688
00:32:16,920 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 2: perpetually move forward in the direction of Cyborg's haymakers and

689
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: be able to eat them seemingly without issue was very impressive,

690
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 2: and as such, I think at times we chose to

691
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 2: focus on that. How dare you stir?

692
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 8: The Twitter knows all, They know everything about how the

693
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:36,000
Speaker 8: broadcast works and how the UFC works together with you to.

694
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:41,240
Speaker 2: Create this very specific narrative, right, It's crazy and to

695
00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 2: think too that in Cyborg's last fight and thank you,

696
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: I mean the criticisms that I take most seriously, and

697
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 2: I do love the social media feedback. But when Ken

698
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 2: flows like dude, I think you guys were way off

699
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: in that fight, I'm like the fuck But no, I mean,

700
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 2: it was the last fight on her contract. We didn't

701
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 2: play up that angle necessarily, but hopefully we gave her

702
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: enough credit. If not, please go watch the post show

703
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 2: on ESPN Plus, because we were keeping praise her way

704
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 2: and she deserved all of it. All Right, We'll see

705
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,920
Speaker 2: what's next for Chris Cyborg and the other thing too.

706
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: I know Felicia Spencer didn't get a bonus, but hopefully

707
00:33:12,560 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: this result in this performance maybe allows her to get

708
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 2: a raise or a new contract and allows her to

709
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 2: put the mathematics aside because she did stay with us

710
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:23,239
Speaker 2: on Thursday, Kenny. Some people want to keep teaching, right,

711
00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: or keep doing what they're doing. Steve Bay doesn't need

712
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 2: to fight fires necessarily, he wants to keep doing that,

713
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: and Felicia Spencer doesn't. She doesn't want to teach, she

714
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: wants to train full time. Yeah, one hundred percent. And

715
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: I will say this also in regards to the bonuses.

716
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 8: You know, there's disclosed bonuses and then there's undisclosed bonuses,

717
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 8: right that fighters can make. So hopefully the UFC did

718
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 8: give some extra coin to a well deserved Felicia Spencer.

719
00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,520
Speaker 2: You know, she really showed a lot of heart. Now

720
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 2: I look forward to seeing her in future fights. Yeah,

721
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: I think so too. And the one thing I just

722
00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 2: can't emphasize enough just how calm, cool and collected she

723
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: was during this fight week right to say that Yana

724
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: Kunitskaya was intimidated by Chrisauber when she fought her, right,

725
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 2: she took her down, took her back. I believe at

726
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,080
Speaker 2: one point in time. But man, Felicia Spencer was just

727
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: so ready to go throughout fight week, and she was

728
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,120
Speaker 2: ready to go on fight night, and we congratulate her

729
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 2: in defeat. She certainly was walking out of there with

730
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: her head held high and with her stock going in

731
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:23,080
Speaker 2: the right direction. Jeff Neil Nico Price ken Flow. Not

732
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:25,800
Speaker 2: sure if you saw this fight or not, but Nico

733
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 2: Price is a wild man and as such, I think

734
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: a very difficult fight for guys in the top fifteen

735
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 2: because he's willing to get knocked out and sometimes even

736
00:34:33,840 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 2: when you have a great cornerman like Safe Saou telling

737
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,520
Speaker 2: you not to brawl, sometimes it's easier said than done.

738
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,919
Speaker 2: Crazy moments in this fight, collision of heads. Jeff Neil

739
00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 2: did black out at one point in this fight, but

740
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:46,959
Speaker 2: ultimately ultimately was able to survive, get his first UFC

741
00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: bonus and get his fourth consecutive win and as many

742
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: tries in the UFC. This was my.

743
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 8: Concern for Jeff Neil when we were breaking down this

744
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 8: fight on the podcast, because Nico Price has this amazing

745
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 8: ability to get you to brawl with him. Neil was

746
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,040
Speaker 8: the more technical fighter, he was the more skillful guy,

747
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 8: and I think he took the harder path to victory

748
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 8: here and it almost didn't work out for him, so

749
00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 8: I think, but in a lot of ways, this is

750
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,600
Speaker 8: kind of a fight that you need as a fighter

751
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:18,800
Speaker 8: to go. All right, Listen, I learned a huge lesson

752
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 8: from this. And if you learn a huge lesson from

753
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 8: it and you still come out as the victor, that's

754
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,560
Speaker 8: a great thing. And I think for Jeff Neil, he's

755
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 8: gonna look back on that, he's gonna be thankful that

756
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:31,759
Speaker 8: he could still win those kind of fights. But he

757
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 8: doesn't have to fight those kind of fights. He ended

758
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 8: up getting it done against a very tough and large

759
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:43,400
Speaker 8: Nego Price. It was a great demonstration of heart and power.

760
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 8: But I think Jeff Neil needs to establish himself as

761
00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 8: the more skillful guy from the get go and not

762
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 8: get caught into those kind of fights in the future.

763
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'm sure his head coach would echo all

764
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 2: of those sentiments, and the non martial artist me would

765
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 2: only counter and just say, you know, the longer you

766
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 2: go with someone like Nico Price, I just feel like

767
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 2: he And it's not that Nico's this crazy unorthodox fighter,

768
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 2: you know, he's a pretty technical guy. He's well coached,

769
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 2: he's coachable. But nonetheless your points are well taken and

770
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 2: congratulations to Jeff Neil. All right, just want to get

771
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 2: a quick thought on uh on not only the fight

772
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,279
Speaker 2: between Armands Sarakian and Olivia Obama Mercia, but your boy

773
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: George Saint Pierre as well. So Sarukion twenty two years

774
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: old born in Georgia wins by unanimous decision. This is

775
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,480
Speaker 2: a tough one for Oam Kenny. He's lost three consecutive

776
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 2: fights after that four or five fight winning streak. George

777
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 2: Sant Pierre was training with him as much as four

778
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 2: times a week for this fight. He added four pounds

779
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 2: of muscle mass to an already big lightweight frame. But

780
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,359
Speaker 2: he also felt like Sarukian, despite all of the UFC

781
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,080
Speaker 2: experience for Oam, was the best guy that he had

782
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 2: ever faced. And I think this twenty two year old

783
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: is going to be a real problem moving forward. Your

784
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: thoughts on the fight on GSP being such a huge

785
00:36:55,640 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 2: part of this training camp and it not producing the

786
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: desired result. What can you tell me about Sarukiana and

787
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 2: Obam Mercy. Yeah, you know, I think this was a

788
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,840
Speaker 2: fight that I didn't like from the outset.

789
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,200
Speaker 8: I think I talked about this on the last podcast

790
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 8: and we broke things down on the Instagram live, you know,

791
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:19,239
Speaker 8: and it's this was a tough one because this was

792
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 8: not a great matchup for uh oh Am.

793
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,360
Speaker 2: I think that, yeah, And and this is what the

794
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 2: second or third fight.

795
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 8: In a row that I didn't really style wise, I

796
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 8: didn't agree with the matchup. And I think that you

797
00:37:33,000 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 8: need to take the right fights on your career.

798
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,799
Speaker 2: And listen, I've I've certainly made those mistakes of taking

799
00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 2: the wrong fights at the wrong time, but you learn

800
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 2: from this.

801
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 8: But to do it too three times a row, I

802
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 8: don't know about this one. And listen, you know, fighting

803
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 8: with our training story with a high level guy like

804
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,279
Speaker 8: a George Saint Pierre is certainly gonna help.

805
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: It's not gonna hurt you.

806
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,359
Speaker 8: However, you have to look at the style and say,

807
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,200
Speaker 8: is this the kind of guy that's going to help

808
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 8: me for this particular fight. What is he going to help?

809
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,320
Speaker 8: What is he going to show me or give me

810
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 8: that I can use for this particular fight. You know,

811
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 8: I could train with John Jones every single day, and

812
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 8: you know, at five foot nine, you know, I don't

813
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,320
Speaker 8: know how much he's gonna help me for my upcoming

814
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:16,759
Speaker 8: fights at lightweight. So you have to put it into

815
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 8: context and I think it will help, but you know,

816
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,680
Speaker 8: you have to get ready for that specific fighter.

817
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,479
Speaker 2: So listen again.

818
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 8: I don't want to take away from Sarukiyan's performance. This

819
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 8: was a guy that was really persistent with this takedown.

820
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 8: He was a little wild at times. O Am did

821
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,960
Speaker 8: have his chances to capitalize, really wasn't able to do

822
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 8: it at the right time. That knee was absolutely brutal,

823
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 8: looked like he heard him with it, wasn't able to

824
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 8: take him out. This is a guy who this is

825
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 8: a young kid who's very tough and is only going

826
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:51,040
Speaker 8: to get better. And he gained a lot of experience

827
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 8: in this fight going fifteen hard minutes. Yeah, after going

828
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 8: fifteen hard minutes with Islam maikashevn You hate to sit

829
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 8: here and annoint somebody at twenty two years old, but man,

830
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 8: this ar me kid. I'm excited to see where you

831
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 8: can go. I think he's managed by our buddy Danny Rube,

832
00:39:03,719 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 8: I believe as well. So maybe a future champion there

833
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 8: for d Rube. But congratulations to armand Sarugian and for oam. Yeah,

834
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 8: back to back to back now losses against Alexander Hernandez,

835
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:16,879
Speaker 8: Gilbert Urinho, Burns and armand Sarrujian.

836
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: All right, great show. UFC two to forty is in

837
00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:22,919
Speaker 2: the books. Congratulations to the bonus winners, Hakeem Dowado, Jeff Neil.

838
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,839
Speaker 2: Of course the flyweights turned in the fight to Night

839
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 2: Davis and Figuretto a Leachandre Pantoja. Shout out to our

840
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 2: buddy Derek Thompson on the UFC crew. He thought that

841
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: would be the fight of the night it was. Congrats

842
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,480
Speaker 2: to Eric Coke successful in the welterweight debut. And Jillian

Speaker 2: is a discretionary bonus in the mail for her. All right,

846
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 2: Moving forward now UFC fight Night Covington versus Lawler, we

847
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 2: get to the pronunciation of the week TJ five and

848
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:52,919
Speaker 2: seven on the year hit on Hakeem Dowado last week.

849
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 2: Next up this Nigerian represents four to Cemma, the team

850
00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 2: we just spoke about light heavyweight six and one after

851
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 2: lose his UFC debut in Philly earlier this year, to

852
00:40:02,719 --> 00:40:07,720
Speaker 2: Paul Craig, TJ. DeSantis, of whom am I speaking Kennedy

853
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 2: and Juku A in juku, you're trying to drop an end,

854
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,560
Speaker 2: Joe Kuwani on me. Let's hear how the fighter says it.

855
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 2: Kennedy Kennedy Z all right. You got to ignore the

856
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 2: second time he says it right because he's slowing it down.

857
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:29,279
Speaker 2: But it's Kennedy in zecha ku. Final answer. That's what

858
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,359
Speaker 2: we go with on broadcast. The first time he says

859
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 2: it in zecha ku. TJ, you were close. You just

860
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,080
Speaker 2: left out a syllable there, I believe.

861
00:40:35,280 --> 00:40:39,720
Speaker 10: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna say that my lower mandibles injured.

862
00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 2: So, by the way, did you like hearing your voice

863
00:40:44,040 --> 00:40:46,640
Speaker 2: all over that UFC broadcast with those Felicia Spencer calls?

864
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 9: Yeah?

865
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: I like that. I was good. Where's my check? Feel like?

866
00:40:49,960 --> 00:40:52,120
Speaker 2: I know it's checks in the mail. I feel like

867
00:40:52,160 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: you kind of undersold her chances a little bit on

868
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:55,319
Speaker 2: the podcast last week.

869
00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 10: You know, I'll happily say I got it wrong. She

870
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:03,040
Speaker 10: didn't win, she didn't have any business you know, taking

871
00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 10: the score card by any means.

872
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: But heart of a Lion there, Yeah, did you see her?

873
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 8: Sorry, Gija, I was gonna ask, did you see her

874
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,440
Speaker 8: going five hard rounds on the sorry, five hard, three

875
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 8: hard rounds on the feet with Cyborg?

876
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 2: I did not. I did not.

877
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 10: I thought that she could slow it down maybe and survive,

878
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 10: but I didn't see her seeing the final bell and

879
00:41:23,239 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 10: pleasantly surprised. And I was like Joe Rogan after you know,

880
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 10: the second part of the second round, going I want

881
00:41:30,080 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 10: three more, let's go.

882
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, And I'm not trying to throw you under

883
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 2: the bus saying you undersold her chances, because you're right.

884
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:39,320
Speaker 2: She did get dominated. But again, I think my biggest

885
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: takeaway from the fight, at least on her side, was

886
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:46,880
Speaker 2: that she is so utterly unintimidated by the bright lights

887
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 2: and fighting someone like Chris Cyborg that I'm very excited

888
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,200
Speaker 2: to see her next fight. And I think when you're

889
00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 2: a fighter like that in that spot, that's what you're

890
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 2: hoping to do is make people want to see you

891
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 2: fight again, and you can certainly count me among those.

892
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 2: All right, let us get now to the picks for

893

924
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:43,719

Speaker 2: a listener brought this up with me. Okay, and I

930
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:58,720
Speaker 2: think you might be onto something. So here's the deal. Okay,

931
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,319
Speaker 2: So when you pick him event and a comain event,

932
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,760
Speaker 2: you give us the winner, the round, and the method

933
00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 2: of victory.

934
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 9: Right.

935
00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 2: But this listener pointed out to me that there's too

936
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,560
Speaker 2: much incentive to pickfighters to win by decision, because if

937
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,200
Speaker 2: you get decision right as the method of victory, you

938
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: also get a point for the round. You see what

939
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:20,359
Speaker 2: I'm saying. So Max Holloway gets a point for the win,

940
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:22,839
Speaker 2: a point for the decision, and a point for the round,

941
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:24,400
Speaker 2: because if I don't give him a point for the

942
00:44:24,520 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 2: round and somebody else goes round two by tkoh, you're

943
00:44:27,640 --> 00:44:30,879
Speaker 2: getting an opportunity to cast three times, right, got you? Yeah?

944
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,399
Speaker 2: Well it's tricky because then if you get the method

945
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 2: of victory right for a decision, you're automatically getting the

946
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 2: round points. So right, that's what happened last week with

947
00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 2: with Edwards. Right when I got the Edwards pick Im

948
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:46,200
Speaker 2: Zachary okay, right, So that's the way we got it.

949
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,840
Speaker 2: You know, if someone has a better idea, you can

950
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 2: certainly hit me up. John underscore Annik on Twitter. Let's

951
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: get to it though, comain event, New Jersey Jim Miller

952
00:44:54,719 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 2: minus won seventy five versus Clay Gweeda plus one forty five.

953
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:02,280
Speaker 2: Ian Miller standing his UFC record here, making his thirty

954
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 2: third UFC appearance, number twenty eight on the other side

955
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:07,360
Speaker 2: for Clay Guida, who was submitted by Kenny Floory in

956
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 2: ten years ago at UFC one oh seven. Do you

957
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 2: like what I did there? Gwida did beat bj Penno

958
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:14,759
Speaker 2: and his last fight that was UFC two thirty seven

959
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 2: back in May, saw his fight with Diego Sanchez inducted

960
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 2: into the Hall of Fame earlier this month. He should

961
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:23,240
Speaker 2: have a lot of motivation here Ian as underdog against

962
00:45:23,360 --> 00:45:26,000
Speaker 2: Jim Miller. How do you see the comaine going down

963
00:45:26,040 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 2: in Newark?

964
00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:30,480
Speaker 9: Well, it's.

965
00:45:32,040 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 11: It's an interesting corein event. I think this is going

966
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 11: to be a Jim Miller send off, and I think

967
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 11: it's the right fight for him. Look, Claiy Guida did

968
00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 11: not he impresses us against Joe Lazon and then he

969
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:45,160
Speaker 11: you know that, he loses to olivera expected and then

970
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 11: he comes in against BJ is a huge favorite, and

971
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 11: yes he turned it on at the end, but at

972
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 11: one point BJ was handling the striking. Okay, that fight

973
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 11: should have been finished away earlier. I think Jim's went

974
00:45:57,040 --> 00:46:00,000
Speaker 11: over in his last fight was way more impressive, showed

975
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 11: he still has something left in the tank. I think

976
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:02,920
Speaker 11: his striking is gonna be better.

977
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:03,680
Speaker 9: I think he's better.

978
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,359
Speaker 11: Everywhere than Clay. MI miss the cardio, but Jim's never

979
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,720
Speaker 11: really shown us that's an issue. I think Jim Miller's

980
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,080
Speaker 11: gonna get this done. I don't see Clay He's gonna

981
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:14,359
Speaker 11: bounce around, do his striking. This will hit the floor

982
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:15,000
Speaker 11: at some point.

983
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 9: I think Jim's gonna win this.

984
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 11: I'll even say rare naked choke, and I think he'll

985
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 11: lay the gloves now call the career and get a

986
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:22,840
Speaker 11: win at home. I'm going with Jim Miller.

987
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 2: Jim Miller rear naked choke. What round?

988
00:46:27,680 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, I have to give that right. I'm gonna

989
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:30,399
Speaker 11: I'm gonna go round two.

990
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,040
Speaker 2: Sorry, round two naked choke for Jim Miller ken flow.

991
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 2: He continues to battle lime disease, still able to stay

992
00:46:38,160 --> 00:46:39,840
Speaker 2: active through it, but it has not been easy for

993
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:42,160
Speaker 2: Jim Miller over the last few years. That said, this

994
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 2: is going to be his fifth fight in sixteen months,

995
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 2: coming off a quick win over Jason Gonzalez that was

996
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,959
Speaker 2: April twenty seventh. Close fight in my mind on paper, Kenny,

997
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:52,919
Speaker 2: what do you think about Guida and Jim Miller.

998
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:54,840
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think this is an interesting one, and I

999
00:46:54,920 --> 00:46:57,360
Speaker 8: think it's a match that is well made here between

1000
00:46:57,400 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 8: two guys who've been around the game for a very

1001
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 8: long time. You know, if someone's gonna win the wrestling

1002
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 8: battle here, I think it's probably going to be Miller.

1003
00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,280
Speaker 8: I think Miller's is certainly the better striker in the clinch,

1004
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 8: But Clay Guita has a way of just throwing everything

1005
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 8: off with his unorthodox style and rhythm, and it can

1006
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 8: it can really post problems for Jim Miller if he's

1007
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 8: expecting your traditional striking approach. But I agree with Ian here,

1008
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 8: I think Jim Miller will get it done. I'm not

1009
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 8: sure if he gets the finish here. I'm gonna go

1010
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:34,520
Speaker 8: with a Jim Miller decision. Uh on Saturday, Jim Miller

1011
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:35,080
Speaker 8: by decision.

1012
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 2: See ken Fler already thinking, now, hey man, you give

1013
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:40,439
Speaker 2: me the round point for the goddamn decision. I'm sure

1014
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:43,040
Speaker 2: there's an algorithm that would suggest And we do have

1015
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 2: somebody on Twitter, and I apologize that I don't know

1016
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,360
Speaker 2: his name that is tracking all of these results in

1017
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,840
Speaker 2: the main Event challenge, and I do believe, proably, I

1018
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:54,200
Speaker 2: do believe there's an algorithm out there that would exist

1019
00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:58,239
Speaker 2: that would suggest that long term, maybe picking when we're

1020
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 2: forcing you guys to pick by decision is actually the

1021
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 2: way to go, in which case we would have to

1022
00:48:02,480 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: tweak the scoring system for twenty twenty. If the podcast

1023
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 2: still exists, of course, it'll still exist? Are you kidding me?

1024
00:48:08,560 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 2: Started in twenty fifteen all right main event former UFC

1025
00:48:12,320 --> 00:48:16,080
Speaker 2: Interim welterweight champion Colby Covington minus two thirty against the

1026
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,720
Speaker 2: former undisputed champ, Robbie Lawler, who is plus one ninety.

1027
00:48:20,080 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 2: We will need the round and the method of victory.

1028
00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 2: We did conduct a quick pull at Annik Florian Pod

1029
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:28,320
Speaker 2: this morning. At last check, about fifteen hundred and ten votes.

1030
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 2: Sixty three percent of the masses like Robbi Lawler as

1031
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 2: betting underdog can Flow Covington back for the first time

1032
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:37,040
Speaker 2: since winning the interim belt at UFC two twenty five

1033
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,440
Speaker 2: last June. That was his only fight in twenty eighteen.

1034
00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:42,960
Speaker 2: So I think a lot of people forget just how

1035
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: damn good this guy is because he just hasn't fought

1036
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 2: all that often. I believe Covington deserves the distinction as

1037
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,960
Speaker 2: the betting favorite. The question is flow does he get

1038
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,120
Speaker 2: it done against Robby Lawler?

1039
00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, and he's got a style that really could pose

1040
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 8: a lot of problems for Robbie Lawler. Colby when he

1041
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 8: decides to go out there and wrestle and grind you down,

1042
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 8: is gonna be difficult for anyone.

1043
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:03,000
Speaker 2: In the world.

1044
00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 8: He's big, he's strong, he's fast, he has a tremendous

1045
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,960
Speaker 8: chin as well. If he does get in trouble, and

1046
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 8: I think he needs to do that early on. He

1047
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 8: needs to fight a very similar fight to how he

1048
00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,200
Speaker 8: fought Haffield Dosanzos, and I think if he's able to

1049
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 8: do that, it could go very well for him and

1050
00:49:20,920 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 8: he can pull off the decision win. Robbie Lawler, though,

1051
00:49:24,520 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 8: I think that if we see the Robbie Lawler that

1052
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:29,640
Speaker 8: came out against Ben Askrin, I think Colby Covington could

1053
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 8: be in some serious trouble. A Lawler can certainly crack.

1054
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 8: He'll have the speed advantage with his hands. This is

1055
00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 8: a guy that also really knows how to wrestle, and

1056
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 8: he's not as small as Haffield dos Angels.

1057
00:49:41,000 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 2: This guy is a lot.

1058
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 8: Bigger for the welthweight division, and I think he's been

1059
00:49:44,719 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 8: in a lot of great fights. We forget his battles

1060
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:52,000
Speaker 8: against guys like Johnny Hendrix and Rory McDonald. You know

1061
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 8: Carlos Kan The guy is an absolute legend, a for

1062
00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 8: sure Hall of Famer in my opinion, and a guy

1063
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:03,040
Speaker 8: who I think, you know, if Colby gets a little

1064
00:50:03,120 --> 00:50:05,880
Speaker 8: cocky or doesn't have his hands up, or isn't circling

1065
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:07,800
Speaker 8: to the right side. I think could really get in

1066
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 8: trouble early. I think Robbie Lawler gets it done. I'm

1067
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 8: gonna go with TKO in round three.

1068
00:50:16,040 --> 00:50:19,440
Speaker 2: Round three, TKO for Robbie Lawler. The pick to click

1069
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 2: for Ken Flow, who brings up a lot of sailing

1070
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 2: points there, Ian Parker, Robbi Lawler was at a sneeze. Yes,

1071
00:50:26,880 --> 00:50:29,279
Speaker 2: I apologize, bless you. Robbie Lawler was in the shape

1072
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:31,960
Speaker 2: of his life. Kenny absolutely was in the shape of

1073
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: his life going into that Ben Askron fight that was

1074
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:36,680
Speaker 2: UFC two thirty five back in March. I'm not trying

1075
00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: to take anything away from Ben Askron. I'm just not

1076
00:50:38,600 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: sure there's much of anything to read into that result

1077
00:50:41,160 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 2: on the Lawler side at all. I expect a prime

1078
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,440
Speaker 2: Robbie Lawler here. Ian, what do you think about Robbie

1079
00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,760
Speaker 2: Lawler and his chances to spring the upset and prevent

1080
00:50:49,840 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 2: Colby Covington from getting that shot at the undisputed title.

1081
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 11: I am surprised that this Robbi's as big as a

1082
00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,480
Speaker 11: dog as he is, even though Colby inter non from

1083
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 11: whatever it is. I want to throw in a couple

1084
00:51:02,239 --> 00:51:05,120
Speaker 11: of facts here, Kobe comings in his last four wins,

1085
00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 11: Brian Barbarina decision, Dong Hum Kim decision, Daming my own decision,

1086
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 11: Javel dos Ando's decision. All right, here's my issue with

1087
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,759
Speaker 11: and listen, Kobe's done what he's had to do, and

1088
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,719
Speaker 11: he's done a great job marketing himself, regardless whether it's

1089
00:51:21,239 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 11: you know, the good guy, the bad guy, the face,

1090
00:51:23,840 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 11: the heel, however you want to call it. I think

1091
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 11: the level of competition may pose a little bit of

1092
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 11: a problem here. His biggest opponent has been RDA, and

1093
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:35,880
Speaker 11: Robbie has thought way higher than RDA. Even though he

1094
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:38,359
Speaker 11: didn't lose to him and lost by decision, I think

1095
00:51:38,440 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 11: this is a bad matchup for Kobe. I think Kobe

1096
00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 11: against has fought guys that he is bigger than or

1097
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:47,279
Speaker 11: stronger than the wrestling. Robbie's takedown defense is phenomenal. He's

1098
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 11: a good wrestler in his own right. To Kenny's point,

1099
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 11: he's definitely gonna be the better striker here. And I

1100
00:51:51,480 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 11: think John, to your point, there wasn't a lot to

1101
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 11: read with the loss against bet Askrin.

1102
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 9: But the one thing I do want to mention that

1103
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:57,719
Speaker 9: fight is.

1104
00:51:57,760 --> 00:52:00,120
Speaker 11: That he stopped the takedown and he picked I had

1105
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 11: power bottom on his fucking head, and no one has

1106
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 11: done that to Ben Askron. You know, if you talk

1107
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 11: to people that have wrestled with Askron, they say it's

1108
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,440
Speaker 11: like messing with a silver back gorilla.

1109
00:52:09,719 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 9: And Robbie picked him up like it was his child,

1110
00:52:12,120 --> 00:52:14,320
Speaker 9: you know. So I don't know if Kobe.

1111
00:52:14,160 --> 00:52:16,920
Speaker 11: Is going to present or shoot in in a different

1112
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 11: way that Ben possibly could. I think Robbie keeps this

1113
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Speaker 11: fight standing, and I do think he could finish his

1114
00:52:22,080 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 11: fight because Kenny chose round three. I gotta go either

1115
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 11: lower or higher. I'm gonna go prace his right style,

1116
00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 11: and I'm gonna go round two and say that Robbi

1117
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:32,320
Speaker 11: Lawler gets to finish.

1118
00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 2: In round two. All right, A couple underdog plays there

1119
00:52:34,800 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 2: on Robbie Lawler. And we did throw that poll out

1120
00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 2: on Twitter, and I think some fans suggested that it

1121
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:41,800
Speaker 2: was more of a of a popular vote or a

1122
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:44,320
Speaker 2: vote that was sort of rooted in popularity. But a

1123
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:46,919
Speaker 2: lot of people who I know are voting in that poll,

1124
00:52:47,040 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: or sharp handicapping types who certainly sees the value in

1125
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:52,520
Speaker 2: Robbie Lawler this weekend. Ian Parker, great stuff, my man.

1126
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 2: We will talk to you in less than seven days.

00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,200

1128
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:57,719
Speaker 9: Thanks guys.

1129
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:00,480
Speaker 2: All right there he is Ian Parker, the picks on

1130
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,160
Speaker 2: the main event challenge. We got to get out of here.

1133
00:53:07,080 --> 00:53:10,239
Speaker 2: find a window that will accommodate all schedules. If we

1134
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:12,799
Speaker 2: are back, we will certainly preview UFC Fight Night from
