Hey, 30 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm growing up over here at DCTV, guys. In today's 31 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: episode is to you by Total Wireless, the official wireless 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: provider of UFC. There in your corner with unlimited five 33 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: G data that will not slow you down. So when 34 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: we talk about fights, right, we always look for the 35 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: biggest fight, the baddest fight, the number one contender fight, 36 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,079 Speaker 1: the title fight. The ones that gets the most excited 37 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: are the ones that matter the most. Last weekend, Armand 38 00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: Seruki on dispatched Dan Hook. There is no better way 39 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 1: to explain what Armand did on last weekend in Doha. 40 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: He beat him from pillar to post essentially and really 41 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: did re establish himself as the number one contender. So 42 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: Armand Serukian has long been one of, if not the 43 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: best lightweights in the world. Even when Islam was going 44 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: to fight him in Los Angeles, many felt like that 45 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: was going to be easily the hardest fight that Islam 46 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: could have had. Obviously, the fight didn't happen because Armand 47 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: ended up pulling out the night before with a back injury. 48 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: It felt like the UFC, at least to all the 49 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: people close to Armin, were gonna really put him on 50 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 1: a back burner and almost punish him right for not 51 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: fighting and almost changing an entire fight card the night 52 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: before it happened. Then Armon goes and weighs in as 53 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: a backup fighter when Iliot Thepouria fought Charles Olavera for 54 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: the belt, right, that was one you thought that might 55 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: get him a little good grace. They know he can 56 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: make way, because there's a lot of people that thought 57 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: Armon didn't wrestle or didn't fight because he couldn't make 58 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: the weight in Los Angeles. But then when he goes 59 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 1: and he needs the backup fighter, he makes the weight easily, 60 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: steps on the scale well, you start to think maybe 61 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: he will get credit for that and he'll get a 62 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: chance to fight for the belt. That didn't happen. You 63 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,240 Speaker 1: figured he could have waited and possibly gotten the title shot, 64 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: but he right away schedules a fight against Dan Hooker, 65 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: who was riding hot at the time. One thing that 66 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: people like to do when somebody gets beaten the way 67 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: that Hooker got beat last weekend is they speak about 68 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: him and the things that he might have struggled with 69 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: in the past. But what they forget is the state 70 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: that the person was in at the time of the event. 71 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: He had just beat Mataz Gamrock look phenomenal in that fight, 72 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: defended every takedown. Gamrod tried to take him down, beat 73 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: him up, and one a decision was very close. Remember 74 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: Arman went tooth and nail with Mantez Gamrot. Now I'm 75 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 1: not trying to tell you that mma math works, that's 76 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 1: not the case. I'm telling you that Dan Hooker had 77 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: showed an ability to defend takedowns. He just didn't know 78 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,359 Speaker 1: that he would have to show an ability above that 79 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 1: ability to defend takedowns against Arman serukiin so armand Waising 80 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 1: as the backup fighter. Armand shows up to dough how 81 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 1: to fight Dan Hooker, a guy who's riding hot in 82 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: a place where he really didn't have much to gain 83 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: because he was already the number one contender. He was 84 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: already the number one contender. We established that way back 85 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,720 Speaker 1: in January when he was supposed to fight Islam Makatchev. 86 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: Remember an Islam Makachav fight, who back in the day 87 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: was much closer than many fights we have seen Islam 88 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: involved in. Even now up at one seventy we have 89 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: not seen him struggle or have as tough a time 90 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: with those guys as he had with armand Seruki Young. 91 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: All that is is background information before you start trying 92 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,239 Speaker 1: to poke a hole in the case that I'm trying 93 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: to make Now. Saturday, you go in as a minus 94 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: eight hundred favorite against Dan Hooker. That in itself tells 95 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: you what the world thinks of Arman, especially in this matchup. 96 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 1: He goes out there, not only does he win because 97 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: he's supposed to win, he dominates Dan Hooker. It never 98 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,479 Speaker 1: felt like this fight was close. It never felt like 99 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 1: this fight was competitive. It felt like you had a 100 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 1: guy that was a number one contender fighting a guy 101 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: who was very very good who was fighting very very well, 102 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: but did not truly belong fighting with that guy. We 103 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,359 Speaker 1: always say, sometimes when you're younger and you're wrestling or 104 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: you're in sport, sometimes you win to a place that 105 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 1: you're really not suited for. It looked like on Saturday, 106 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 1: Dan Nookred won so much above what he was supposed 107 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 1: to win that he found himself in the place that 108 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,720 Speaker 1: he didn't really belong. The guy was just better. Arm 109 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: And beat him up. Arm And beat him up, finished him. 110 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: What does he earn only a tight which he already had, 111 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 1: which you already had. Now, the the problem with the 112 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: whole scenario is when Iliot Topouria won the belt, Patty 113 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: Pimblet was in the arena with Justin Gaegee and so 114 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: many others. Patty goes into the octagon. Now everybody gets 115 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 1: this visual of Patty and Ilia when in reality, I 116 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: don't know that Patty, and he's great, has a resume 117 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: that has earned him that title fight over Armanserukian. Because 118 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,880 Speaker 1: now armand has beaten Bianilla Daru's, Charles Olavera and Dan Hooker. 119 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: Patty hasn't lost. Patty beat Michael Chandler. So the resume 120 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: doesn't match. But again, the visual of them in the 121 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 1: octagon feels like that was a number one contender. Armond 122 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: wasn't there, so I wenting Saturday. He earned what he 123 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 1: already had back in January. But now the champion, the 124 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 1: great Iliot, the Pooria is saying, I want to fight 125 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 1: Paddy Pimblet. He said after Arman one, he goes, I'm 126 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: still wanting to fight Paddy Pimblet. He doesn't seem to 127 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: want to fight Armed Serukian, and I don't know that 128 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: he's given as much reason as to why he doesn't 129 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:38,559 Speaker 1: want to fight Arman Serukian. The reality is that's the fight. 130 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: It is armand it is Armin versus Ilia. There really 131 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: shouldn't be there. We really shouldn't be discussing anything past 132 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 1: Armin versus Ilia. If we are, okay, Patty Pimblet, that's fine, right, 133 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 1: it's big hype if it's gonna be the first paramount card. 134 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: I get people tune in because Patty does garner a 135 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 1: lot of attention, But in terms of a matchup, in 136 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 1: terms of a fight, it's illiot to pour you versus 137 00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: arm and Serukian. And it's not even questionable. I know, 138 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: for a fact that they wanted to do Patty versus 139 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: Justin a win over Justin after what he's done already. Now, 140 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: I would have bought Patty pim to fighting for the 141 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 1: belt right now, because I still believe that Patty needs 142 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 1: to continue to grow in the octagon a little bit, 143 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: because he's right at the ship and now he's fought 144 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: so well that we go man the lady beat channeled. 145 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: We've never seen that before. But Illly is a different piece. 146 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: He's a savage. So it's arm and Serukian. I believe 147 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,080 Speaker 1: that Armin versus Italy is the fight man from the 148 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,560 Speaker 1: interactions they have, the way that you can tell that 149 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 1: those guys don't like each other. Ilias said he slapped 150 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 1: him the other day, Armand said he touched his face, 151 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: and now he's said he slapped him. It's easy to 152 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: build a fight between these two because when you build 153 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 1: a fight between these two, you feel like he's going 154 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: to be very competitive. You feel like there is a 155 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: chance Arma Tzerukian can win. But you also know that 156 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: there's not a person in the world that Iliot the 157 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:30,839 Speaker 1: poor you can't beat. With these great champions, there is 158 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 1: nothing better than going into a fight knowing that they 159 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: are going to have their hands full and they're going 160 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 1: to be challenged. It feels like that's a fight that 161 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 1: would challenge the great Iliot to pour you. I mean, 162 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: Arman lost in twenty twenty two versus Gamrod, but he's 163 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: a different person. He's won five in a row. He 164 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: has earned an opportunity to fight for the belt. I 165 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: think Ilias should grant that. I think Ilias should go. Okay, 166 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: that's the guy because he just fought Charles Olavera, and 167 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,960 Speaker 1: Charles Olavera had lost to Armin very recently. That's just 168 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 1: the truth. So if you're willing to fight Charles, you 169 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: should fight Armin. I think it's a great fight, you guys. 170 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I don't know why though. Why is this fight not 171 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: already happening outside of us seeing Patty in there as 172 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: the the number one contender. Why and for the people 173 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: that might want to go and tell me the comments 174 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: people that might want to go, Well, he's afraid of Armon. 175 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: He's already he still wants to fight ilia or sorry, 176 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:46,240 Speaker 1: Ilias still wants to fight Islam. Ili even said I'll 177 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 1: go to one seventy fight Paddy there so that I'm 178 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: in the same weight class as Islam. It sounds like 179 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: they're not wanting Iliot to go up again. But he's 180 00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: willing to go up and fight Islam, so it's art 181 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: to say. And he's afraid of Arman Serukian. But I 182 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: still don't understand the answers. I don't know why we're 183 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:14,199 Speaker 1: getting this hesitancy from to Pouria to fight armand Serukia. 184 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: It needs to happen. You guys, let me know in 185 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,480 Speaker 1: the comments what you think. Who's the number one contender? 186 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 1: Is it Armand or is it Patty Pimlet. It's balled 187 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,719 Speaker 1: down to those two. It seems like it's a two 188 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: man race. Who do you think should be in the 189 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: octagon with the champion Italy to Poria the next time 190 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,439 Speaker 1: he goes in there?
