2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: take on a couple of villains to sort out whether

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: bad stuff is also illegal stuff. George Santos want a

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: seat in Congress by lying to voters, but is that

5
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,360
Speaker 1: Jews in England, he go to jail for that. Here

7
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: in America, did he commit a hate crime? Listen to

00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 3: You know.

29
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 8: I woke up late. My sleep is all screwed up.

30
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 8: I am an.

00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 5: see in my eyes look at that. I'm like barely awake.

33
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 5: But I'm doing good, kid, I'm doing all right, doing

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 5: all right.

35
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: It's keeping busy.

36
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 7: I know that sometimes fans get upset when when I

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 7: lead with your hair, But since you let with today,

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 7: I'm just gonna say, you know, I keep that lettuce

39
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 7: a little bit tight. Like you must have gotten a

40
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 7: haircut before you went to the United Kingdom. I actually

41
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 7: I took I took the ultimate risk. I took the

42
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 7: ultimate risk.

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: I went to Cardiff, Wales, saw a barbershop and walked

44
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 5: in cold, got my hair cut. It's a little a

45
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 5: little closer to the hair than I typically get, but

46
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 5: it turned out good. I roll the dice and took

47
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 5: the gamble.

48
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 8: Has Clark chimed in on the haircut.

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,760
Speaker 5: She actually likes it. She likes me here a little

50
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 5: bit longer. But she actually she had to, didn't Mitch.

51
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 5: She's like it, Actually, it looks good.

52
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 8: It looks it looks good man, it looks fucking clean.

Speaker 8: We will recap UFC Fight Night.

73
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 7: Beverraa versus Cruise, but I want to begin with Rory

74
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 7: McDonald and what you've got going on in the PFL.

75
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 7: As many of our listeners now know, Rory lost over

76
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 7: the weekend. He ultimately retired from mixed martial arts. And

77
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 7: you know, people get very sensitive with certain adjectives, whether

78
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 7: it's the word great or the word legend. Certainly a

79
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 7: Canadian mixed martial arts legend, to be sure, and for

80
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 7: my money, a legendary mixed martial arts career. I mean certainly,

81
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 7: my time covering the sport, you know, runs sort of

82
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 7: the gamut of his career. What are your thoughts on

83
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 7: Rory McDonald ultimately over the weekend and hanging them.

84
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Up for good.

85
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: He truly was one of these new generation of fighters,

86
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 5: you know. I guess we're probably in the generation now

87
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: with these you know, early twenty you know, young twenty

88
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: year olds coming up. But he was certainly a part

89
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: of that second generation of martial artists who came up

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: training in the sport at an early age, started training

91
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 5: at fourteen years old. I had met him out in Colowna,

92
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 5: British Columbia when he was eighteen eighteen years old, was

93
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 5: already an excellent mixed martial arts back then at an

94
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 5: early age.

95
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 8: And for me, I think he is a legend, you know,

96
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 8: not only for Canada but for the sport in general.

97
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 5: You look at what he's achieved, his record, you know,

98
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 5: going toe to toe in one of the best title

99
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: fights of all time against Robbie Lawler and did it

100
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 5: against a Robbie Lawler that was an absolute killer, who

101
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,560
Speaker 5: was beating Robbie Lawler back then.

102
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 8: When he was again in that resurgence, when he had reached.

103
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 5: What I thought was his prime and just in an

104
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 5: insane fight back then and was was doing great against

105
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: him prior to to stoppage, and you know, then went

106
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 5: on to be a Bellator world champion and you know

107
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 5: again made it to the semifinals here, you know here

108
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 5: in the PFL, got taken out by by a young

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 5: twenty five year old out of Stanford MMA and wasn't

110
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 5: able to get it done, but achieved so many great

111
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 5: things at thirty three years old retiring, I think it

112
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 5: is a phenomenal career and excited for Rory what he

113
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 5: has going on, you know, in the next chapter of

114
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 5: his life.

115
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 7: And as Tim Kennedy sort of suggested on social media,

116
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 7: he's excited to see Rory now contribute societally after his

117
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 7: fighting career is now over. You know, some have suggested

118
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 7: maybe relative to expectations, he underachieved a little bit. You know,

119
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 7: he wasn't this long reigning undisputed UFC champion. Obviously he

120
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,279
Speaker 7: never realized the UFC belt. But that fight at UFC

121
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 7: one eighty nine with him and Robbie Lawler, right, you

122
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 7: got to think that that at least gets him into

123
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 7: that fight wing of the UFC Hall of Fame at

124
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 7: some point in time. He was able, to your point,

125
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 7: to add another world time and maybe a little bit

126
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 7: underwhelming in terms of the PFL expectations relative to when

127
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 7: he got there. But just a guy who is so

128
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 7: memorable right in an era, right, I mean, I have

129
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 7: a fighter car library behind me of probably seven thousand fighters.

130
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 7: Maybe it's not that many, right, there's a lot of

131
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 7: forgettable fighters in there. You know, Rory McDonald was not forgettable,

132
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 7: and you obviously met him when he was a very

133
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 7: young kid, and so we wanted to give some shine

134
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 7: to Rory off the top of the program, today. All Right,

135
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 7: as I've said on this podcast, if I was getting

136
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 7: married this weekend to my second wife, right, not gonna happen, Honey,

137
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,480
Speaker 7: don't worry about it. And you said, all right, your

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 7: groom's men, your wedding party can only be UFC fighters,

139
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 7: and you have to pick the five or six guys

140
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 7: you're closest to. Domin Cruz and Marlin Cheeto Vera would

141
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 7: probably both get a call from me. That being said,

142
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 7: all of my energy today, all of my positivity today

143
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 7: is I'm fainting it. Okay, this is one of the

144
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 7: harder episodes that I've had to do. And candidly, after

145
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 7: watching Cheeto Vera's amazing win over Domina Cruz over the weekend,

146
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 7: my appetite to go to Salt Lake City, Utah isn't

147
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 7: really there right now. Like I'm trying to be real

148
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 7: with the audience, like for the first time Saturday night,

149
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 7: like I didn't want anything to do with this sport

150
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 7: for the first time since two thousand and seven. And

151
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 7: you know, a lot of that obviously speaks to just

152
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 7: how close I am with Domina Cruz, probably my best

153
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 7: friend on the roster, certainly my best friend on the Roster,

154
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 7: the guy I've spent the most time with, and you know,

155
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 7: I just I don't know.

156
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 4: Man.

157
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, he fought well, no doubt about it.

158
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 7: And Cheetoh, we're gonna spend a quarter of an hour

159
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 7: talking about Cheeto's greatness. I think he should fight for

160
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 7: the title, but I don't know, man, Like I don't know.

161
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 7: I'm glad we're doing the show on Monday and not Sunday,

162
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 7: because I was in no mood to do this podcast yesterday.

163
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 5: This is exactly why I don't have any friends John

164
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 5: and Vick moth Clark. I try to avoid it altogether. No,

165
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 5: it's tough, and it must be really difficult for you

166
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 5: as well.

167
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 8: Man.

168
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 5: You know, I know, you know, back when we had

169
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: Cheeto on the podcast, I know you were really about

170
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 5: helping him and his family, with his daughter and all

171
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 5: that stuff. You were opening that effort to raise money

172
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: for him and his family, and of course you've been

173
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: working with Dominic for for such a long time. I

174
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: imagine it's very difficult. And that's one of the things.

175
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 5: It's always kind of been very difficult for me for

176
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: that reason to pick fights. Because we are around fighters

177
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: all the time, you become friendly with them, you get

178
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 5: to know them, you know, for you, you get to

179
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 5: know them and their families, and you learn so much

180
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 5: about them and you see their growth and all that stuff,

181
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 5: and that relationship builds over time. Yeah, it's always a

182
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 5: difficult thing when when that kind of situation arises.

183
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 7: Obviously, in the time that you and I work together,

184
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 7: you won more than you lost. But again I've told

185
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 7: this audience, you know, sitting down to write ken flow

186
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 7: a text like after the BJ Penn fight, it's like,

187
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 7: what do you even say? You know, it probably took

188
00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 7: me forty five minutes or an hour to craft that

189
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 7: text message and trying to sort of find a point

190
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 7: of comparison as I try to sort of self soothe

191
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 7: a little bit, you know, when the Patriots maybe lost

192
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 7: to Super Bowl or something like that. You know, those

193
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 7: are some of the worst days of my life waking

194
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:03,719
Speaker 7: up the day after as a sports fan. But I

195
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 7: don't know the particulars. You know, this is just totally different,

196
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 7: you know, and I don't even know. You know, I'll

197
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 7: probably talk to Dom later today, and you know, I

198
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 7: don't know how his nose is, but he has been

199
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 7: responsive over over text, and you know, I think he

200
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,079
Speaker 7: wishes that maybe he had yinned when he should have

201
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 7: yanged in that particular moment, and his ego obviously is bruised.

202
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 7: But you know, he's so mentally forged and so mentally

203
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 7: tough that if anyone is sort of well equipped and

204
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 7: hardened to be able to deal with something like this,

205
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 7: it's probably him, but obviously not the way he drew

206
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 7: it up. Let us get to Marlon cheeto Vera, because

207
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 7: as far as I'm concerned, Ken Flow, he deserves a

208
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 7: championship opportunity after this fourth consecutive win. Certainly, I think

209
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 7: his style for five rounds works well because he has

210
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 7: now lost rounds one and two to Frank Edgar and

211
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 7: Domina Cruz, you know, in recent fights. But he is

212
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 7: the most decorated finisher in this division's history, and you know,

213
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 7: I think he's going to be favor against most guys

214
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 7: at one hundred and thirty five pounds because of that.

215
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 7: Back your thoughts on Cheetoh and the balance of these

216
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,360
Speaker 7: three plus rounds against Domina Cruz.

217
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 5: You know, the word assassin is thrown around a lot,

218
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,439
Speaker 5: and for me, cheato Vera is a perfect example of

219
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 5: an assassin.

220
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 8: To be an assassin.

221
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 5: You have to be patient, you have to be able

222
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 5: to watch your opponent, you have to be able to

223
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 5: read patterns, and reading the patterns of a Domina Cruz

224
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 5: is no easy task. People get lost in his movement

225
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 5: and get you know, hypnotized by his footwork, and Domina

226
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: Cruz's style is set up so perfectly against people who

227
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: punch well. Now in this fight, you know, I talked

228
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 5: about Domina Cruz maybe losing a step. If I'm being honest,

229
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 5: I don't think I saw Domina Cruz that had lost

230
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: a step. He looked fast. Af Okay, he looked extremely fast.

231
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 5: He was moving really well in and out. The problem

232
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,319
Speaker 5: with Dominic in this fight, I think it was these

233
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 5: were technical issues. He was attacking in straight lines, and

234
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 5: I think maybe because he felt he was significantly faster

235
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 5: than Cheeto Vera, that he could afford to do that.

236
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 5: His fates are so good, and he was throwing Cheeto off.

237
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 5: But as we know, Cheeto was very patient. He was

238
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 5: adjusting to that style and he started catching Dominic Cruz

239
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 5: going forward. He was attacking in this linear fashion, and

240
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 5: if you're attacking that linear fashion, you throw straight punches,

241
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 5: and that's where Cheeto was kind of catching Dominic. Dominic

242
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,599
Speaker 5: was running into either a jab or a cross and

243
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 5: he was getting dropped. The other thing is, not only

244
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 5: were the entrances an issue in my opinion for Dominic,

245
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 5: but his exits were an issue. Now again, as he exits,

246
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 5: he does a great job of avoiding punches, but where

247
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 5: he's in line for around house style kicks, whether it's

248
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 5: attacking the legs like Henry so Hudo was, or whether

249
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 5: it's attacking the body or head like Cheeto Vera was,

250
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 5: in this instance, he is vulnerable to that. And ultimately

251
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 5: Cheeto was finding that those exits were a little bit

252
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 5: too close for comfort, and he was throwing that kick

253
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:08,679
Speaker 5: and eventually caught him. He was coming closer and closer

254
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 5: with them. Didn't throw a whole lot of them. But

255
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 5: for Cheeto Vera, it's not about quantity, it's about quality.

256
00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,599
Speaker 5: And once he figures you out, he's not looking to

257
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 5: win rounds. He's looking to kill you. He's trying to

258
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: take you out. He is a finisher through and through,

259
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 5: and he will be there right in front of you

260
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 5: until he's able to get it done. Dominic, you know,

261
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 5: I think a three round fight would have suited Dominic.

262
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 5: A five round fight is going to be tougher for

263
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 5: him because Cheeto is going to be continued to press forward.

264
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 5: He's not going to get tired, he's not going to

265
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: lose his will to win, He's not going to really

266
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,319
Speaker 5: get frustrated. So again, this was a fascinating fight, a

267
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 5: very technical fight between two of the best in the game.

268
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 5: I thought Dominic was looking phenomenal, he was winning the

269
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 5: fight up until that point. But Cheeto is He's a killer,

270
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 5: and he had perfect timing on that finish.

271
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 8: And even in round one.

272
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 7: I turned to my wife and I said, I kind

273
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 7: of feel like the knockout here as an eventuality. You know,

274
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,719
Speaker 7: Dominic may book some rounds here, but I just I

275
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 7: didn't like some of those early knockdowns. I want to

276
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 7: share some tweets from the UFC bantamweight champion al Jamaine

277
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 7: Sterling after the fight. He wrote, father time is truly undefeated.

278
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 7: I said before this fight that it may be the

279
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 7: passing of the guard. Chido can still take a shot,

280
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 7: Cruise not so much. It's the circle of life in

281
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 7: this game. Cheeto caught him at the right time and

282
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 7: both their careers great win and obviously you can imagine

283
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 7: some of the responses that came Aljo's way after that.

284
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 7: And then he responded to one of them, bro, he

285
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 7: dropped him with a jab durabilit he was not there.

286
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,319
Speaker 7: I see what you're trying to say. But let's be real,

287
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 7: cruise of old each those early shots. So and then,

288
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,839
Speaker 7: you know, a lot of people have suggested that maybe

289
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,199
Speaker 7: Domina Cruz's style is better for boxing and point fighting

290
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 7: that it is for mixed martial arts. At this point

291
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 7: in time, you know, I can certainly sit here in

292
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 7: admiration of Dominic Cruz at thirty seven years old, given

293
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 7: his style way, He's still able to compete and bank round,

294
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 7: so to speak, against a guy as elite as Cheeto Vera.

295
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 7: But what are your thoughts on on Cruz's durability, which

296
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 7: has always been a strength, seemingly not being there despite

297
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 7: some obvious power from Cheetoh early on. Well, well, Dominic's

298
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 7: heart can never be questioned. He is a fighter through

299
00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 7: and through. You know, although he is the ultimate technician,

300
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 7: he is a fighter now in regards to his chin,

301
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 7: I don't know that there may be some truth to that.

302
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 7: It's hard to pinpoint where a fighter is faltering all

303
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 7: the time. I tend to try to look at the

304
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 7: technical over anything else, because if we're being honest, a

305
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 7: lot of those things is just me or whoever speculating.

306
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 8: He doesn't have the same chin and he doesn't have that.

307
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:48,080
Speaker 8: You know, we don't know for sure.

308
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 5: We don't have enough information on Dominic's body and brain

309
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 5: or whether he could take a shot or not. Okay,

310
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 5: what I will say is that there are times where

311
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 5: Dominic's base, his stance is not set up to take

312
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 5: a shot properly. Why he leans back, He gets his

313
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 5: head over his hips, which is not a great balance

314
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 5: you know, to have when you're trying to avoid strikes.

315
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 5: So his body is initially set up to take a strike.

316
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 5: In that manner, you will get knocked down. And to me,

317
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 5: Dominic was recovering.

318
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 8: It wasn't.

319
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 5: There was maybe one time where he looked like he

320
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 5: wasn't with it for a second or two, but that

321
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 5: was one of those where he ran right into the shot.

322
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 5: He was you know, it was him with that crashing,

323
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 5: that car crashing effect. That was kind of a head

324
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,040
Speaker 5: on collision with I believe Cheetos it was a jabber across,

325
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 5: but I don't know how much validity there is to that.

326
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 5: I think more it's a it's a manner. It's a

327
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 5: matter of people figuring out the style of Dominant Cruise.

328
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 8: Now.

329
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 5: I kind of want to say that because again, although

330
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 5: his style isn't necessarily one that you know, was great

331
00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 5: sometimes the way he leans back in taking shots, it

332
00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: also was a style that many people could not figure

333
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 5: out for a very long time. And why I have

334
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 5: admiration for Dominic's style and approach is because it is

335
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 5: so uniquely Dominic Cruise. He goes out there and breaks

336
00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 5: all the rules that are out there, and I think

337
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 5: that is the sign of a phenomenal martial artist, is

338
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 5: when you can break the rules and when you can

339
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:31,360
Speaker 5: inject some or all of who you are into that style.

340
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 5: It was so intelligent, it was so you know, beautiful,

341
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,440
Speaker 5: and how he'd fainted, And again he's not the most

342
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 5: like technically refined fighter as far as how you traditionally

343
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 5: throw a punch or kick, That's not what Dominic was about.

344
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 8: It was his movement and his feints and how he confused.

345
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 5: Guys and how he outthought you and baited you and

346
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 5: lured you into shots, which made Dominic so unique and

347
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 5: so damn good as a mixed martial artist now again,

348
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 5: being on top for that long ultimately and eventually people

349
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 5: are going to start to figure you out.

350
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 8: And you know, and that happens for anybody.

351
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 5: So I think that as far as you know, talking

352
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 5: about father time, that was more for me the issue

353
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 5: than opposed to, you know, him not having the chin

354
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 5: that he used to have, right, having a style where eventually,

355
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 5: you know, you've been on top for so long, people

356
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 5: will eventually figure out. No matter how good you are,

357
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 5: no matter who you are, people are going to figure

358
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 5: you out.

359
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,280
Speaker 7: I could listen to you all day, and as far

360
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: as the speculative nature of talking about someone's chin, the

361
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 7: only thing that isn't speculative that I could add is

362
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 7: that Dominic spars a ton and needs a ton of

363
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 7: rounds to get ready for these competitions, and some of

364
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 7: our athletes aren't necessarily, you know, of that mindset and

365
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 7: of that mentality, you know, So I certainly I think,

366
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 7: you know, it does stand to reason that you know,

367
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 7: his button has been softened over the years. But big picture,

368
00:17:58,040 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 7: and you hit on a lot of what maybe I

369
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 7: was going to say in terms of him as an athlete,

370
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 7: cruise like he has maximized his utility, you know, like

371
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 7: he's not the most naturally gifted athlete, and to see

372
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 7: him sort of, you know, come through everything injury wise

373
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 7: that he has come through and now put together back

374
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 7: to back to back training camps and be healthy for

375
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 7: all of them. You know, he's in great shape, and

376
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:22,760
Speaker 7: I really hope that he, you know, fights on. I

377
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 7: think the trouble is is that his mentality oftentimes dovetails

378
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 7: with yours that if there isn't a path to the title,

379
00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 7: why stick around? And as I sit here on Monday,

380
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 7: August fifteenth, twenty twenty two, for the first time in

381
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 7: a long time, you can argue that the path to

382
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 7: a title for Cruisey is now probably three years. I mean,

383
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 7: maybe maybe there would be a short notice opportunity whereby

384
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 7: he steps in for song you dong against Corey Sandhagen

385
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 7: and beats him and all of a sudden you push

386
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 7: the reset button and you're right there. But you know,

387
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 7: if Dom doesn't see a path to the title, I'm

388
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 7: not sure he's going to stick around for a couple

389
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 7: hundred thousand dollars to show well.

390
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 5: Again, he's a guy who's been at the cream of

391
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,240
Speaker 5: the cream, the cream of the crop for a very

392
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 5: very long time. And Dominic, you know, only wants to

393
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 5: fight the elite. He wants to fight the best. That's

394
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 5: what he's there for. And I think he's certainly matured

395
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 5: as a fighter. You know, hearing some of his thoughts

396
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 5: post fight, you know you could see that. I wonder, John,

397
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,800
Speaker 5: do you think he would ever consider one hundred and

398
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 5: forty five pound run?

399
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 8: Is that even feasible you think?

400
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 9: Or?

401
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I mean he he would always say to

402
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 7: me that he wanted to compete at fifty five. Now

403
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 7: Max Holloway has said to me that he wants to

404
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 7: fight at eighty five before his UFC career is over.

405
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 7: But no, I absolutely think a super fight at one

406
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 7: hundred and forty five pounds makes a lot of sense,

407
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 7: even moving up and seeing what you can do there.

408
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 8: No, it's a great point.

409
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 7: And you know, I can't speak to this weight cut

410
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 7: and how difficult it was, but I can certainly speak

411
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 7: to the previous one. For the Pedro Munos fight, it

412
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,920
Speaker 7: was an unmitigated disaster. There was a little bit of

413
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 7: a misstep, but that was a terrible cut. This one

414
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 7: seemingly went better. He made championship weight he weighed a

415
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 7: lot earlier, but remark career. Obviously, he's going into the

416
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 7: UFC Hall of Fame. I just don't like seeing any

417
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 7: of my broadcast partners or friends being put on the

418
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 7: wrong end of a highlight like that. But I guess

419
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,760
Speaker 7: unless it's Cheato Vera right, because it is amazing as

420
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 7: much of an assassin and a savage as Cheeto is

421
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 7: one of the most kind hearted, likable, amicable dudes on

422
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 7: the roster. I think DC put it well when he

423
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 7: says he's the chillest dude in the UFC. You know,

424
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 7: he's got a lot of John Jones in him. I

425
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 7: think in terms of when he walks out, just ice

426
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 7: water in his veins, like just enjoys fight night. What

427
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 7: are your thoughts on Cheeto now as we spin it

428
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 7: forward for him? You know how I feel about who's

429
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:38,720
Speaker 7: left in front of him? What do you think they

430
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 7: do with Marlon Cheeto Vera right now?

431
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 5: Gosh, he has to be in the conversation. I'm not

432
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 5: saying anything, you know, shocking. He's got to be in

433
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 5: the conversation for having a title shot. You know, I

434
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 5: think that you know, maybe he fights the winner of

435
00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 5: al Jo and the next one al Joy and Sorry.

436
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 8: So he's he definitely is deserved.

437
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:05,880
Speaker 5: You look at his win streak and the way he's

438
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,960
Speaker 5: going about it and the kind of confidence that he's

439
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 5: coming out with. Again, he came out to that fight

440
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,120
Speaker 5: against the Domina Cruzoey again, who I thought looked phenomenal,

441
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 5: and he seemed like it was just a matter of

442
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 5: fact that he was going to go after and win.

443
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,200
Speaker 5: You could just see it in his vibe and his

444
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,959
Speaker 5: approach during the fight. Nothing ever faced him even when

445
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 5: things weren't going well. And so he's fighting with a

446
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 5: with a confidence and his conditioning is phenomenal. He's in

447
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 5: his prime right now and he's had the right fights

448
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 5: to build himself up.

449
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,400
Speaker 8: At this point.

450
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: I don't think he's going to get to a title

451
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 5: fight and be shocked or surprised, frustrated. Nothing's gonna throw

452
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 5: this kid off at this point. So I think he's

453
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 5: doing all the right things in the off season. I mean, yeah,

454
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: give him that next time. I know that, I know

455
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 5: this divisions insane and there's so much competition there, but

456
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 5: why not. I mean, he could fight the winner of

457
00:21:57,359 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 5: Di La Shaw and al Joe next one out, no

458
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:01,920
Speaker 5: question about it. I know he likes to stay busy.

459
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 5: It seems like he's making good money now as well. Yeah,

460
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 5: so I'm curious to see what happens here.

461
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

462
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: No, it's very nice to see him sort of realize

463
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 7: some riches on that side too, as you sort of

464
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 7: look at the division and who might be best equipped

465
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 7: to beat Cheeto Bear. I mean, certainly Joseado gave him

466
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 7: some problems. It's not as though this is like a

467
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 7: nine fight winning streak for Cheeto. It is, for there

468
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 7: have been guys who have gotten him, you know. But man,

469
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 7: I just love the style for five rounds. Obviously, we

470
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 7: all admire the finishing ability, the cardiovascular base as good

471
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 7: as anyone's in this event. Dude, he's not even fucking

472
00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 7: sweating during these fights. Now, granted he's not throwing a

473
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,439
Speaker 7: ton of offense out there, right. I would imagine there

474
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 7: are some statistical things that we could bring up that

475
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 7: wouldn't be so favorable for cheetoh, because honestly, the stats

476
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,879
Speaker 7: don't even fucking matter, you know. But if you're picking

477
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 7: one guy in that top ten to try to beat Cheeto,

478
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 7: you know, is it a guy like Morob Dwalash Willie

479
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 7: that's just going to try to take him down all night.

480
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,680
Speaker 7: I mean, I can tell you that a lot of

481
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 7: Domina cruz Is training, you know, was rooted in not

482
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 7: just getting those takedowns late in rounds, but trying to

483
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 7: create some grappling transitions, some scrambles and maybe open up

484
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 7: a choke. I mean, Domina Cruz was not blind to

485
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 7: the fact that cheto Verra is a very hard guy

486
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 7: to damage and hit to the head, you know, But

487
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 7: I think Cheetah's gonna be favored to beat a lot

488
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 7: of these guys at thirty five.

489
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 5: Listen, it's all about fundamentals, and Cheeto is fighting with

490
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 5: a very simple style, but it's extremely effective, you know,

491
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: both offensively and defensively. So you know, you have san Haagen,

492
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 5: which I think would be an interesting style just based

493
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 5: on his movement and how he moves. I think if

494
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 5: you look at you know, of course, you mentioned Jose Aldo,

495
00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 5: who did very well against him. You know, al Jo

496
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 5: I think matches up pretty well against him, just because

497
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 5: of his tremendous grappling. But again, he's got a shot

498
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 5: against anyone in that division, whether they're wearing a belt

499
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 5: or not. I think he deserves it, and I don't

500
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 5: know depending on what happens Al Joe and Dilla Shaw.

501
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 5: You know, perhaps if san Haagen gets by us song

502
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 5: you Dong, maybe maybe Sanhagen and Chino go at it,

503
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 5: you know Sanagan number four right now, that would be

504
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 5: a tremendous fight.

505
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 8: That's a that's main event worthy.

506
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, they're the The opportunities are are pretty endless

507
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 7: right now. At one hundred and thirty five pounds. I

508
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 7: do think a title fight between al Jamaine Sterling and

509
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 7: Marlon cheeto Vera would be very interesting stylistically.

510
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 8: All right, That is enough on that.

511
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 7: We congratulate Marlon cheeto Vera on the big win, and

512
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 7: we will talk to Cruzy here on the show, probably

513
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 7: in the next month to see to see how he's

514
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,879
Speaker 7: hold enough. Hopefully they were able to fix that pretty

515
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 7: face of his. Did you happen to see the co

516
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,719
Speaker 7: main event between Nate land where and David Onama. I mean,

517
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 7: lest we soon not forget what Matt Schnell and sum

518
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 7: Mudharjie did recently as we talk about the twenty twenty

519
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 7: two fights of the year, but this main event was

520
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 7: absolute bananas. And you know, we know our guy Brian

521
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 7: Petrie loves Nate the Train and I think his fan

522
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 7: base got pretty swollen over the weekend.

523
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,959
Speaker 8: Kid, that fight was ridiculous.

524
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 5: And again for me, of course the match Schnell fight,

525
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,600
Speaker 5: you know, is going to be up there, right but

526
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 5: as of right now, dude, I have that as my

527
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 5: fight of Year.

528
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 8: Just ridiculous.

529
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,919
Speaker 5: The start that Onama had was amazing. His fast twitch,

530
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 5: you know, striking is something to behold. He is so

531
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 5: fast out there and would just look very technically sound

532
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 5: of how he was moving and setting up punches. But

533
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 5: a fight is a fight, and you never know what's

534
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 5: gonna happen with that other guy who was taking damage

535
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 5: and how they're able to come back. I mean, Nate

536
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 5: is a savage. He is an absolute savage. The way

537
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 5: that he was able to come back. He was out

538
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 5: and actually his head hit the canvas and he woke

539
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 5: back up, and boy did he wake back up. He

540
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 5: came back to, you know, really start to dominate Onama

541
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 5: even at the end of round one, and things kind

542
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,199
Speaker 5: of never swung back the way of Nama. Nama had

543
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,879
Speaker 5: his moments, but you see, you could see he was

544
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 5: mentally and physically defeated at that point, and I don't know,

545
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 5: I was just I was just amazed by the performance

546
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 5: from land where and how he how he came back,

547
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 5: how he let Onama off the canvas several times, and

548
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 5: kind of like he didn't have to do that.

549
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,200
Speaker 8: He could have finished him on the canvas. He was

550
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 8: there to entertain. Yeah, but it was just wild to me.

551
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 8: I can imagine that Dana White was very excited watching

552
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 8: that fight. That was insane.

553
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 7: And I'm sitting here thinking, Man, this isn't good for

554
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 7: David Onama's career longevity.

555
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 9: No.

556
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm not thinking that the whole fight obviously

557
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 7: when I'm watching, But you know, I think you're in

558
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 7: this game long enough, in whatever capacity, and you become

559
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 7: conditioned to some of that. I mean, David Oama, you

560
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 7: understood as you're watching, recognize that he was a part

561
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 7: of something special. And you know, James Krauss did say

562
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 7: to him, I believe after round two do you still

563
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,879
Speaker 7: want to fight? And you know, I think the commentators

564
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 7: sort of said at the beginning round three, it's like, well,

565
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:08,840
Speaker 7: if you're not going to fucking bail me out, I

566
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 7: guess We're gonna go take a little bit more damage,

567
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 7: but just absolutely insane that land where was able to

568
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,480
Speaker 7: rally like that, and then Onama rallies back, and I

569
00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 7: think just the back and forth nature of it obviously

570
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 7: is going to have it hold up as one of

571
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 7: the better fights of twenty twenty two. And Nate the

572
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 7: train Man, you know, I just can't relate to the

573
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 7: toughness you know of a guy like that. I just

574
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 7: can't can't relate an Onama too. I mean, just unbelievable.

575
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 7: All Right, a couple other performances that I do want

576
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 7: to highlight before we try to wake up ray long Ago.

577
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 7: We actually are going to try to do a wake

578
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 7: up call. It is seven thirty three am Pacific time,

579
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 7: so ray is about four minutes late at this point

580
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 7: in time, but he's out there for the Contender series

581
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,720
Speaker 7: and we know it's early. But obviously Morob Dwalashwilli is

582
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 7: fighting on pay per view coming up Saturday night, so

583
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 7: kind of feel like we need to talk to to

584
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:58,640
Speaker 7: Raymond Longo, So we will do the wake up call thing.

585
00:27:58,880 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 8: Here in a little bit.

586
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 7: Gerald mershard with a huge win as underdog, as he

587
00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,440
Speaker 7: is so accustomed to doing over Bruno Silva. He gets

588
00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 7: his submission there with the guillotine show no bonus for

589
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 7: GM three. Angela Hill over Lupy Godina is another big

590
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 7: winner by underdog here, and I just feel so good

591
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 7: for Angela Hill. I don't know how much of our

592
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,080
Speaker 7: listeners saw the entire fight, but you know, it was

593
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 7: a close fight. I thought Ange deserved to win. I

594
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 7: just thought her jab in round three was the difference.

595
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,359
Speaker 7: But the California State Athletic Commission discloses earnings, and it

596
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 7: just gives me great pleasure to report to you that

597
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 7: Angela Hill made one hundred and ninety thousand dollars on

598
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,320
Speaker 7: Saturday night, ninety five thousand dollars to show and a

599
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: win bonus of ninety five thousand dollars. And some people

600
00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 7: might suggest, you know, wow, Angela Hill make it a

601
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 7: whole lot of money, right, And it's like, yeah, she's

602
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 7: probably on her fifth or sixth UFC contract if I'm

603
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 7: not mistaken. She's competed like twenty times in the UFC.

604
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:50,720
Speaker 7: She's been on the wrong end of a lot of

605
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 7: split decisions in my mind, and I don't know, I'm

606
00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 7: just so happy for her. This fight got moved up right,

607
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,080
Speaker 7: tough matchup you would think stylistically against Lupy Godinas. And

608
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 7: you know, Angela Hill has really made a career of this,

609
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 7: and I'm just very happy to see her sort of

610
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 7: realize some of the games, you know what I'm saying.

611
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 8: No, absolutely, and she's evolved so much.

612
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,520
Speaker 5: You could see that she's she's one of those fighters

613
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 5: that are always training, always looking to add things under

614
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 5: her game.

615
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 7: And yeah, that was that was good Win Man and

616
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 7: her husband, Adam Blair Pride deserves a lot of credit,

617
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 7: you know, who has sort of become her head coach

618
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 7: over the last several performances. So all right, congratulations to

619
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 7: Angela Hill. All right, texted Ray, no reply. I'm gonna

620
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 7: hold off on. I mean, you really want going to

621
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 7: do a wake up call on the air right now?

622
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 7: I don't think I can do it at seven thirty

623
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 7: five am Pacific time. So let us spin it forward, Cody.

624
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 7: Let us get to the pronunciation of the week, and

625
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,080

632
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 3: What is that?

633
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 9: Just a classic buzzer kid?

634
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 8: All right to the old Bob.

635
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 9: I told him to take a couple off the top.

636
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 8: Lo's a good kid.

637
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 9: Win a series against Yanks this past weekend.

638
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:20,000
Speaker 7: Huh, that's good stuff, kid. So you went to City

639
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 7: Field to watch the uh the New York Metropolitans play, Huh?

640
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 9: I did watch the old Amazings. Huh watch all Amazings.

641
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 8: Pretty pretty funny.

642
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 9: New York's got two teams, neither one of them are

643
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 9: actually in New York City, so I always just like

644
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 9: to give them ship for that.

645
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 8: Hey, but it's a good time.

646
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 9: I went out to see the the Edwin Diaz trumpets

647
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 9: but didn't get it was a six to nothing game.

648
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 9: But it is someone in the UFC going to walk

649
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 9: out to that, because that would be fire like if

650
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 9: someone this weekend doesn't walk out to the Edwin Diaz trumpets, like,

651
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 9: I'm gonna be disappointed.

652
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:48,920
Speaker 8: If you don't know what Cody's talking about, google it.

653
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,920
Speaker 7: But yes, the whole closure routine right now for for

654
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 7: the Mets is uh straight fire kid. Yeah.

655
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 8: I think at some point you got to think that,

656
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 8: uh that somebody will uh be Morob.

657
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 9: That'd be a great walk out from a rob.

658
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 8: Yeah, just really anything.

659
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 9: I mean, Morob could walk out the radio radio static

660
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 9: and I'd still be pumped up.

661
00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 8: Do you see instagram footage from a rob you know?

662
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 8: Did you see?

663
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 3: Yeah?

664
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 9: Today was up at four in the morning before the

665
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 9: sun was up, and he had his vi He woke

666
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 9: up his videographer to get him hitting pads outside.

667
00:31:20,520 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 8: This is a complete nockcase at the UFCP.

668
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 7: I going in and out of the hot and cold

669
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 7: plunge as if it's like some deep pool and doing

670
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 7: like swan dives into the into the hot tub, just to.

671
00:31:32,600 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 8: Make sure there's no branches sticking out of those things.

672
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 9: Will you Okay, imagine sitting there like, let me get

673
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 9: a nice relax and cold plunge, and there's Morob June

674
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 9: gainers into the six ftet pool.

675
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 7: So we do have Morob's file today correct, in addition

676
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 7: to the actual two pronunciations of the week. So if

677
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 7: you'd be so kind, I would love it if we

678
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 7: could hear Morob say his name uh here at this

679
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:57,880
Speaker 7: point in time on the program.

680
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 8: All right, thanks may Rob Dwali Shilly.

681
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 7: So everybody says Morob sounds like he says may Rob.

682
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 7: I already voiced the fight with him and Jose Aldo

683
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 7: as Morob. But kemp fl it sounds like may Rob,

684
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 7: doesn't it.

685
00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 8: May Rob may Rob? And is it Dwalish Willy? Yeah,

686
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 8: it's Dwalish Willy.

687
00:32:23,120 --> 00:32:30,280
Speaker 7: But exactly yeah, yeah, Cody, doesn't it sound like may

688
00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:31,479
Speaker 7: Rob and not Morob?

689
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 8: I think so lazy ship with blal You know, may

690
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 8: Rob you of.

691
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 9: Your cardio, of your soul, so many different things.

692
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 3: I like that.

693
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 7: All right, you know that's just for the masses, neither

694
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 7: here nor there. I probably won't bring it up to

695
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 7: my bosses for fear will be revoicing. But may Rob

696
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 7: Dwallash Willy fighting Jose Ado here Saturday at UFC two

697
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 7: seventy eight. But now let us actually get to the

698
00:32:58,840 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 7: pronunciation of the week, all right. First one is a

699
00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,960
Speaker 7: flyweight out of Mexico City. He takes part in the

700
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 7: first fight of the night. And the reason why I

701
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 7: pull up this file is because I voiced it differently

702
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 7: than it was voiced in his UFC debut. So you

703
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 7: guys are going to be my tiebreaker today, Cody Merrow,

704
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 7: first name, Victor? Who am I talking about?

705
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 9: So I believe it's Victor alta Morano.

706
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 8: Okay, so Cody said, Victor alta Morano. Let's let's hear

707
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 8: the file.

708
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 3: Victor Altamirano, Picctor Altamirano, Al Pictor Magnifico Altamirano.

709
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 9: I'd say that every time I introduced myself. Yeah, my

710
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,920
Speaker 9: name's al Magnifico's I know.

711
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 7: I love hearing some of these close sighters say their names.

712
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 7: Ken Flow, what do you think?

713
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:52,680
Speaker 8: It's a close But I wouldn't give it to him,

714
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 8: kind of a stickler.

715
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 7: So here's the issue, right, And if you don't find

716
00:33:57,600 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 7: this interesting, feel for feel free to fast forward at

717
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 7: sixty seconds.

718
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 8: But he says alta Medano. He doesn't say alta Morano.

719
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,920
Speaker 7: It's every time, you know, so I go voice it

720
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,000
Speaker 7: and then I just double check watching a little film

721
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 7: of his UFC debut, and it's alta Morano.

722
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 8: But it's you know.

723
00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 7: So we're in this tough spot where do we do

724
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 7: the americanization can flow? Or do we do it the

725
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 7: way the athlete says every time out to medanas? You know,

726
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 7: but are a Rogan and DC going to be on

727
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 7: board with the Alta Medano all weekend long.

728
00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 8: You know, it's a tough thing.

729
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 5: Having having worked at a translation agency, what we would

730
00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 5: do is you make it consistent. Either say it the

731
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 5: way they say it all the time or americanize it

732
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:40,520
Speaker 5: all the time.

733
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:44,359
Speaker 8: Right, And so I think I think the right thing

734
00:34:44,520 --> 00:34:46,759
Speaker 8: is just saying it like like the athlete says. I

735
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,319
Speaker 8: think so too.

736
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 7: And back at ESPN Radio way back in the day,

737
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 7: there was this americanization of a lot of different names,

738
00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 7: Japanese names.

739
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 8: You know, I've talked about this before.

740
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 7: When Dice came out Suzaka signed with the Red Sox,

741
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 7: they issued press release saying, you know, don't call him Daisuki.

742
00:35:02,840 --> 00:35:05,759
Speaker 7: You know, it's Diceke. You know, let's make sure we

743
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 7: get it correct. Uh, Cody, So Alta Morano is going

744
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:10,120
Speaker 7: to be a no.

745
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 8: But you do have another chance here today.

746
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 9: I want to throwback hun Dice.

747
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,840
Speaker 7: K Dice ca All right, next fighter back in the

748
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 7: UFC for a second stint, Ken Floy, I'd like you

749
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:24,520
Speaker 7: to listen to this one carefully. This fighter was cut

750
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 7: in January of twenty twenty after four straight losses since

751
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 7: though She's won five of six regionally. To get back

752
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:33,960
Speaker 7: to the big show, she fights Wu Yin on this

753
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,799
Speaker 7: Weekend Cody, Who am I talking about?

754
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 8: Brother Man?

755
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,880
Speaker 9: So I think this one is Lucy Poojalova.

756
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, clearly I'm wrong of that.

757
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 7: I mean, you know you don't have Yeah, you're not

758
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 7: listening to the file first, you could cheat. Let's hear

759
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,120
Speaker 7: uh Lutzia.

760
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:55,879
Speaker 9: You know I wouldn't do that job.

761
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 3: Lutz lutzier.

762
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 7: She has.

763
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:03,880
Speaker 8: She has a way more masculine voice than I had imagined.

764
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, that morning, yeah, right, like I got to

765
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 7: do my voiceovers right when I wake up.

766
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 8: It does work, you know.

767
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 7: But later in the day when the voice was open

768
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 7: up a little bit. But yeah, that was not uh Lutzia.

769
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 7: But let me hear her say it once more. I

770
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:31,839
Speaker 7: want Kennedy to hear this real quick as far as Yeah.

771
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,480
Speaker 7: So the first name is three syllables, right. So she's

772
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 7: been out of the UFC for like almost three years.

773
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 7: So I found my file six fights ago and I

774
00:36:39,719 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 7: actually had the phonetics written on the file, which means

775
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 7: it's one of the more tricky ones.

776
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 8: But it's Lucia Lucia. It's three syllables with the first name,

777
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 8: so Lui, and of.

778
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,799

903
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 6: want to say I got more respect for him now

904
00:42:39,360 --> 00:42:43,239

905
00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:45,959
Speaker 6: got to say, almost pitching the shutout. But the first

906
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 6: two rounds were beautiful. Third round maybe I still gave

907
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 6: him the third round?

908
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,080
Speaker 3: Oh, just unfortunate.

909
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know, just very unfortunate that and he

910
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 6: just circled the wrong way into that man.

911
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 3: Just crazy. But he I thought he looked absolutely fantastic

912
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:08,520
Speaker 3: the first couple of rounds. And what just a tough motherfucker.

913
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: This guy.

914
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:11,160
Speaker 6: He's still trying to get up, you know what I mean.

915
00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 6: You could see he's just a stubborn game. Come yeah,

916
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 6: he's just a game guy. I for thirty seven years old,

917
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 6: and you know, hats off Pachino.

918

Speaker 6: matter what you do to him, He's just steady Eddy.

922
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,800
Speaker 6: And he eventually caught him. But I thought it was

923
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,560
Speaker 6: a great fight for I thought it was a great

924
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:32,320
Speaker 6: fight for Cruise.

925
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:34,960

Speaker 7: Dominic at this stage of his career and perhaps call

927
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,680
Speaker 7: it a silver lining, but for people to see just

928
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 7: how tough he is and just how much hert he

929
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 7: does have. Because I remember talking to him, you know,

930
00:43:46,080 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 7: when he was in his twenties about his second pro

931
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,400

Speaker 8: the nail.

936
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 6: Yeah no, man, let me tell you just what I

937
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:03,040
Speaker 6: think stubborn is though. Where you could see in real

938
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,600
Speaker 6: life that guy's not going anywhere. I mean you could

939
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 6: just when he was trying to get up after that

940
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 6: and go, man, this guy's still not out like he's out,

941
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,239
Speaker 6: but he's he's like a terminator. He's just gonna keep

942
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 6: coming for you. So man, it was I didn't like

943
00:44:19,440 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 6: really seeing it, but man, was he doing good. I

944
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:23,640
Speaker 6: was enjoying the fight, and I did say in a

945
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:26,080
Speaker 6: three round fight, that's where I was comfortable with this.

946
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,239
Speaker 6: Now maybe, yeah, Cheato, you're right, you know WHATLD have

947
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:31,080
Speaker 6: changed the busines thing. I know you told him, you

948
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:33,480
Speaker 6: told me it was a five round fight, that extra

949
00:44:33,640 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 6: ten minutes, But.

950
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 3: It was good.

951
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,959
Speaker 6: That's the cheat on man. He just gets better and better.

952
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 6: So it looks like he's in a good spot in

953
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 6: his life and his career everything.

954
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,759
Speaker 7: So yeah, I mean, certainly TJ. Dillashaw is going to

955
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:48,919
Speaker 7: be next for your guy Al Jamain Sterling. And again

956
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 7: we're not looking too far ahead of Morob or anything else,

957
00:44:51,280 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 7: but we were kind of fantasizing a little bit about

958
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:55,880
Speaker 7: a matchup between Al Joe and and Cheetoh at some

959
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:58,560
Speaker 7: point down the line, you know, for all the Bandam

960
00:44:58,560 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 7: White Marbles.

961
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 3: If you will, you know, I think we got we

962
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:02,200
Speaker 3: got that.

963
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 6: That division definitely is very very exciting. Even the Santague

964
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:09,640
Speaker 6: and Son You Dong fight. If I'm pronouncing his name right.

965
00:45:09,600 --> 00:45:12,919
Speaker 3: That's gonna be? Is this all those fights next week

966
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 3: with Aldo and Rob?

967
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,840
Speaker 8: I know, I know no, at this point, uh, we

968
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:21,839
Speaker 8: just don't know he was going back.

969
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:27,200
Speaker 3: We ruled well, John, Yeah, we just ruin them.

970
00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, it was easier making the fix from uh blall

971
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 7: to blaal Right, this is like a totally different sound

972
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:36,840
Speaker 7: from Morob to may Rob, you know, but uh it

973
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:37,640
Speaker 7: is what it is.

974
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 3: All right.

975
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 7: Speaking of may Rob Dwalash Willie, he fights Jose Aldo

976
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,439
Speaker 7: and it's pretty incredible. Obviously if you do a little

977
00:45:47,440 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 7: bit of a UFC career retrospective on your guy Morob,

978
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,160
Speaker 7: because he started zero to two in the UFC, now

979
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,080
Speaker 7: you can pull out your asterisk and anything you want.

980
00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,680
Speaker 7: You know, easily could still be undefeated in the UFC.

981
00:45:58,880 --> 00:46:01,040
Speaker 7: But look at him now, oh man, you know, look

982
00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 7: at this winning streak in this division against this level

983
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,040
Speaker 7: of competition, and now you got a legend in your

984
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,319
Speaker 7: wake here in like five days.

985
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 3: Yeah.

986
00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:13,399
Speaker 6: Look, I think that that saying win or learn really

987
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 6: applies to him because when he lost, every time he lost,

988
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,359
Speaker 6: even before the UFC, he would get back And I've

989
00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 6: never seen a guy make those corrections like like he did.

990
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 3: He was dedicated like that.

991
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 6: I think one fight Kenny, a couple of fights before

992
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,600
Speaker 6: his first UFC fight, he lost a fight he was winning,

993
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 6: he got stuck in the mount the third round and

994
00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:34,800
Speaker 6: he just couldn't get out, you know, but that's the

995
00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:36,719
Speaker 6: last time that happened, you know what I mean. So

996
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 6: he always is Oh you know that. You could see

997
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,319
Speaker 6: the Science fight. He was just like a Manhattery never

998
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 6: held position. He was just reckless. He was flying over him.

999
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,320
Speaker 3: So he changed that.

1000
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:50,839
Speaker 6: He was always making improvements. That's what I love about him.

1001
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 6: And you know, he's the guy that's going to go

1002
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 6: in there and fight no matter what we to lose.

1003
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 6: I don't think it's he's not looking at it. He

1004
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,640
Speaker 6: just loves to fight. So he'll come out and make

1005
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:02,880
Speaker 6: the correc and just keep moving forward. And I just

1006
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 6: never really worry about him because he's got the right mindset.

1007
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,600
Speaker 6: He's not going to get down in the dumps. He's

1008
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 6: just gonna you know, it's from where this guy comes from.

1009
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:14,200
Speaker 6: He's just grateful to be here. And I think that's

1010
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:16,600
Speaker 6: what you see in his fighting. He loves it, literally

1011
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:17,040
Speaker 6: loves it.

1012
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 8: Yeah, he does. So have you cornered opposite Jose Aldo before?

1013
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 5: No?

1014
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 8: No, Well that's got to be pretty exciting, I would think.

1015
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,640
Speaker 6: No, Oh, that's a disagree super exciting. One of my

1016
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 6: favorite guys. Literally, you know, way back when I MC

1017
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 6: Kenny Fordham. I mean how many years ago. I know,

1018
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 6: we always go through this, Kenny, but I mean he's

1019
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 6: eleven eleven, and this guy's still on point, you know.

1020
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 6: And here's a guy that I think changed up his

1021
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 6: game enough to where he's still relevant and he does

1022
00:47:50,520 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 6: it great, you know.

1023
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: But uh, I don't think he's the guy he was

1024
00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 3: back then, but he's still he's still a handful. It's

1025
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:01,359
Speaker 3: a dad is this is not an easy fight? Yeah?

1026
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:03,600
Speaker 7: No, I mean not all that long ago. Aldo was

1027
00:48:03,960 --> 00:48:07,320
Speaker 7: on a losing street, you know, before winning three consecutive fights.

1028
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:09,400
Speaker 7: So yeah, it's gonna be very interesting, all right.

1029
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 8: Man.

1030
00:48:09,800 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 7: Well, I had a couple other things that I just

1031
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,560
Speaker 7: sort of wanted to get to on dom because Sterling

1032
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,120
Speaker 7: had so much to say about him.

1033
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 3: You know.

1034
00:48:17,920 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 7: Al Joe was suggesting that Dominic is just more skilled

1035
00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:23,320
Speaker 7: than Cheeto, but at this stage of their careers, you know,

1036
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:25,880
Speaker 7: he's not going to beat Cheeto over five rounds. He

1037
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 7: also chalked a lot of this result up to Cruse's

1038
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:31,680
Speaker 7: durability or lack thereof. I didn't know if he had

1039
00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 7: any thoughts on that stuff.

1040
00:48:33,719 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: What do you mean I mean there?

1041
00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:38,239
Speaker 7: Well, Al Jo basically said that, you know, Cruse can't

1042
00:48:38,280 --> 00:48:41,440
Speaker 7: take a shot anymore, and Kenny sort of argued that

1043
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:44,759
Speaker 7: that's very speculative in nature. It was really about maybe

1044
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 7: some technical issues for Dominic and running into the best

1045
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:50,520
Speaker 7: finisher the division's ever seen.

1046
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 6: Uh Man that that's a tricky one that I'd love

1047
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 6: to see that. I'd love to hit Dom's take on

1048
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 6: because I think you know what happens with a guy

1049
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:04,160
Speaker 6: like them. His movement is so radical all over the

1050
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:07,320
Speaker 6: place that sometimes you get hitting your off balance. I believe,

1051
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 6: like you just you know what I mean, You're not

1052
00:49:09,280 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 6: You're not sitting in the pocket. You know, you're not

1053
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 6: really seeing that he's moving.

1054
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:13,839
Speaker 3: He's moving. He's down.

1055
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,600
Speaker 6: But I will say this, he's right back up. Anytime

1056
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 6: he got knocked down in that fight. Yeah, it's it's

1057
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:24,400
Speaker 6: a it's a it's one beat out of a you know,

1058
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:27,880
Speaker 6: it's he's right back. He won those rounds. There's no

1059
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 6: damage out. He might went down, but there can't be

1060
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 6: damage if the guy comes back up and he's landing

1061
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 6: five punch combos on you. He was never out of

1062
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:42,399
Speaker 6: that fight. The last knockdown is different, obviously, but uh,

1063
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:45,480
Speaker 6: that's a that's an interesting take.

1064
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 3: He's been down in his fights. I'd really I'd love

1065
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:48,920
Speaker 3: to hear what he says about that.

1066
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 7: No, you're right, because that's that's the answer that would matter.

1067
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 7: But you're right, Like he's so urgent because he wants

1068
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:59,560
Speaker 7: it so badly. You know, it's just I don't know, man,

1069
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 7: I don't but what a.

1070
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:01,720
Speaker 3: Big speed difference.

1071
00:50:01,800 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think she's going at such a

1072
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:08,759
Speaker 6: radical pace that again, sometimes he's just not set up

1073
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 6: for the punches coming in and almost like what he

1074
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:14,360
Speaker 6: how he got caught? You know, he zig ziggs his

1075
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 6: heads out, he and that he does all the time.

1076
00:50:17,560 --> 00:50:19,959
Speaker 6: The fact that China was able to catch him hats

1077
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:22,400
Speaker 6: off to him because you kind of know he he

1078
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 6: I just didn't like that, you know, he was with

1079
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,840
Speaker 6: a South poor just circling into that you know, Paris side.

1080
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:33,200
Speaker 8: You have to yeah, have a hand.

1081
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,160
Speaker 3: Up or something until you're completely out of range.

1082
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 8: Right, But China was doing a good job switching his stanzas,

1083
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:39,720
Speaker 8: so it's tough.

1084
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:43,800
Speaker 6: Gonna be yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it was it

1085
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 6: like yeah, I don't know, I mean it was cheeto

1086
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 6: confident in five rounds.

1087
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 3: In another eight minutes, he was going to get him.

1088
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,600
Speaker 3: That's a crazy strategy too, because.

1089
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 8: It almost burned Frankie Edgar.

1090
00:50:57,280 --> 00:51:01,359
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, Dom gets you know, out of that fourth round,

1091
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:04,240
Speaker 6: then he one hundred percent needs a knockout.

1092
00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 3: And I think Dom's got the experience to navigate around that.

1093
00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 6: But well, right, uh, yeah, that's I'd love to talk

1094
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 6: to him because I think it's more it's it's probably

1095
00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 6: he's getting up there, but I think it's more partially

1096
00:51:18,239 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 6: because he moves so much that he's not really ever

1097
00:51:20,719 --> 00:51:22,879
Speaker 6: have his feet sent on the floor the right way.

1098
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 6: And I think that's why they kind of flash knocked downs.

1099
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 6: They're not right for the lift one, the first two.

1100
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:32,439
Speaker 6: I mean I thought they were. Yeah, he got sat down,

1101
00:51:32,520 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 6: but man, he was never round. He was right back

1102
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 6: in there.

1103
00:51:35,320 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 8: And I know why. I know why Ray is right.

1104
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,880
Speaker 5: John, You know why he's right because we shared a

1105
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:46,160
Speaker 5: very similar take. You're right, Yeah, we said the similar

1106
00:51:46,239 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 5: things that I agree. I agree, I think, yeah, and

1107
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 5: it could be it could be that he doesn't have

1108
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:52,759
Speaker 5: the same chin. But it's hard to just say that

1109
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 5: because there's so many factors that go to it.

1110
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 3: You know.

1111
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 8: It's yeah, it wouldn't be fair to just make that

1112
00:51:58,160 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 8: assumption at this point, I think.

1113
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 3: Right right, I'd love like again, he's so analytical.

1114
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 6: I'd love to hear his take because he's got crazy

1115
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 6: takes on a lot of stuff with the ring rust

1116
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:09,040
Speaker 6: and all of that. So I'd love to hear his

1117
00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:13,000
Speaker 6: take on that because that would be really I'm just really,

1118
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:13,880
Speaker 6: really curious.

1119
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 7: But that's definitely a debatable topic for sure. Well, and

1120
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:21,400
Speaker 7: Cheeto is revered for his chin. You know, he's never

1121
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 7: been finished in mixed martial arts. Cheeto hasn't been But

1122
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 7: I don't know how good his chin is. I do

1123
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,200
Speaker 7: know that his high guard is quite good. And even

1124
00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 7: on this night, you know, I know, Dom, it looked

1125
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:32,239
Speaker 7: like he was sort of piecing him up with a

1126
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,040
Speaker 7: lot of these combinations.

1127
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,560
Speaker 8: Cheeta was blocking a lot of those shots.

1128
00:52:34,680 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 6: Yeah he was blocking, but you could see the speed

1129
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 6: difference was there. Yeah, and Tom was in there to

1130
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:42,040
Speaker 6: make a point against a tough guy. I thought, he

1131
00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 6: that's a great way. I loved a lot of things

1132
00:52:45,239 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 6: I saw in that fight.

1133
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:46,440
Speaker 3: Guy.

1134
00:52:46,560 --> 00:52:50,279
Speaker 6: Like again, it's crazy because even though we lost way

1135
00:52:50,360 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 6: more respect than I ever had for him, I loved

1136
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,320
Speaker 6: it based on way more respect. Just I think the

1137
00:52:55,400 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 6: guy I just saw so many great attributes in there.

1138
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 6: It was it was I thought it was phenomenon. And

1139
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 6: I'm basically two that he's thirty seven years old and

1140
00:53:05,760 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 6: as a as a bantam weight.

1141
00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:10,480
Speaker 3: That's not easy to do. It really isn't easy to do.

1142
00:53:11,320 --> 00:53:14,239
Speaker 7: So no, I mean, I mean, yeah, you don't need

1143
00:53:14,280 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 7: to hear it from me, but the dude's a total inspiration.

1144
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,520
Speaker 7: I mean there were times where analysts and play by

1145
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 7: play guys weren't allowed to wear like sneakers with suits

1146
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 7: on television, right, And I remember Don would have to

1147
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,080
Speaker 7: literally tape up his feet to put on a dress

1148
00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 7: shoe in Agony when he had anti fasciitis. That says

1149
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 7: nothing of all the ACL injuries. And you know, the

1150
00:53:34,719 --> 00:53:38,000
Speaker 7: metal bar in his arm from the spinning backfist and training,

1151
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:39,880
Speaker 7: I mean, on and on it fucking goes, you know,

1152
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 7: Like I just think if this guy competed like in

1153
00:53:42,760 --> 00:53:46,920
Speaker 7: the NFL, right, like Thomas Davis, the revered Carolina Panthers

1154
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 7: linebacker coming back from three ACL procedures, like Dom would

1155
00:53:50,480 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 7: be on some crazy pedestal for coming back and competing

1156
00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 7: at this highest level and or whatever, you.

1157
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:58,239
Speaker 8: Know, part of it. One and thirty five pounds as

1158
00:53:58,239 --> 00:53:59,400
Speaker 8: a man as sport, you know, but.

1159
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,879
Speaker 6: You're you know, you're one hundred percent right leaving that out.

1160
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,800
Speaker 6: But that's why I say stubborn. He's not going anywhere.

1161
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:09,399
Speaker 6: You could see he's crawling his way back after those surgeries.

1162
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 3: And uh, yeah, I don't know.

1163
00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:15,360
Speaker 6: Just again, I think I'm based on what I'm saying

1164
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 6: about him, really based on the fact that he thought

1165
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:20,600
Speaker 6: a super tough guy.

1166
00:54:21,080 --> 00:54:23,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, that is just on another guy that's on the

1167
00:54:23,880 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 3: roll at this stage of the game. Three round fight.

1168
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 7: He wins that fight, you know, and this show has

1169
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 7: actually been therapeutic for me today. But sort of putting

1170
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:37,200
Speaker 7: a bow on that fight. I didn't love this matchup

1171
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 7: Kenny for Dom in terms of the ones that maybe

1172
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 7: were being bandied about. You know, I thought Domina Cruz

1173
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:44,640
Speaker 7: versus Jose Aldo made all the sense in the world.

1174
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,279
Speaker 7: Ray actually came on these airwaves at one point in

1175
00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,959
Speaker 7: time and said it was his understanding that Don versus

1176
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 7: Morob was like all but done and Dom you know,

1177
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:54,960
Speaker 7: I just I don't know. I think there were other

1178
00:54:55,040 --> 00:54:57,240
Speaker 7: matchups that might have been I just felt like Cheeto

1179
00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,200
Speaker 7: over five rounds was as hard a match up as

1180
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 7: there could be for dom and he treated it like

1181
00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:03,440
Speaker 7: it was a world title fight, you know.

1182
00:55:03,560 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, but you know, Dominic's not in to get another win.

1183
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:07,120
Speaker 8: He wants to fight the best guys.

1184
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 5: So you know that's what Dom's you know, all about.

1185
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 5: So there's no easy fights once you get in the

1186
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:16,120
Speaker 5: top ten again, one hundred and thirty five pound division

1187
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 5: one of the best in the world right now. Uh,

1188
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: there are no easy fights once you get into the

1189
00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 5: top fifteen. Probably, So yeah, by ray, I agree, I

1190
00:55:27,880 --> 00:55:29,839
Speaker 5: agree with him. All right, two minutes and then we'll

1191
00:55:29,880 --> 00:55:30,239
Speaker 5: let you go.

1192
00:55:31,080 --> 00:55:33,200
Speaker 7: Did you see the co main event between Nate land

1193
00:55:33,239 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 7: where and David o'ama And it's so I'm a lot crazy.

1194
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:40,080
Speaker 3: That was the w W meets MMA.

1195
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:44,200
Speaker 6: I mean, I know what you guys might be too young,

1196
00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 6: but remember the funds Henry Winkley, he did a movie.

1197
00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, did you ever see the movie? Did I think

1198
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 3: he portrays like a gorgeous George character where he's a wrestler.

1199
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:59,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you gotta go back. He's horrible, but he's just

1200
00:55:59,560 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 6: you know, he's walking around at the stage, I mean

1201
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,520
Speaker 6: the ring, you know, with his hands up. This guy

1202
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,320
Speaker 6: when he got up at off of cross side in

1203
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 6: the third round and go the guy needs the guy

1204
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 6: needs a psychiatrist.

1205
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 8: We've never seen that. I've never seen anything like that

1206
00:56:14,800 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 8: on that level. To do that again and again and

1207
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,319
Speaker 8: again just to entertain the fans like unbelievable.

1208
00:56:21,680 --> 00:56:24,359
Speaker 6: I say, one judge gave the other guy that round

1209
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,440
Speaker 6: just because he was annoyed about how tracy the guy

1210
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:32,840
Speaker 6: was acting. Yeah, I mean he would, but come on,

1211
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:37,560
Speaker 6: that guy was out of his I started. I couldn't

1212
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 6: stop laughing during the fight. I go, this is this

1213
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 6: is crazy. If you wrote that in the movie, people

1214
00:56:43,280 --> 00:56:46,759
Speaker 6: would go, yeah, like that's gonna happen the guys. Yeah,

1215
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 6: guy's elbow in his head and cross side and he

1216
00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 6: just gets up and starts, doesn't even look at him.

1217
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 3: What about.

1218
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:55,600
Speaker 8: A southern rocky?

1219
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 3: Is that? Well that's how I What about what he's

Speaker 3: looking for? His wife? And DC just left it.

1221
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:06,880

1222
00:57:07,280 --> 00:57:08,800

00:57:10,200 --> 00:57:10,879

00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 3: All right.

1242
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:09,600
Speaker 6: I think I feel comfort. I feel confident in that statement.

1243
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,280
Speaker 6: So I will see you in a couple of days.

1244
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 8: All right, safe travels.

1245
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 7: Appreciate your uh, your contributions as always, all right, guys,

1246
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:19,120
Speaker 7: think of these man, Ray all right there it is

1247
00:58:19,200 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 7: the Ray Longo minute every week here on the Anik

1248
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:26,160
Speaker 7: Employing Podcast. And by the way, when you send Longo

1249
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,280
Speaker 7: a bigger check, he cashes it sooner. Right, So this

1250
00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 7: check we sent him this time around, Kenny was at

1251
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 7: least twice his Christmas bonus probably taking a little bit

1252
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 7: of shot there at his Christmas bonus check.

1253
00:58:39,680 --> 00:58:41,560
Speaker 8: But man, he cast this one a lot quicker. He

1254
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:44,040
Speaker 8: Christmas bonus check bucking sits there till March. So he

1255
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 8: wants another roly Kid. He wants another one? Hey, that's right,

1283
01:00:17,120 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 7: to get into for UFC two seventy eight, Ousman versus

1284
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:24,600
Speaker 7: Edwards two Salt Lake City, Utah, and yours on pay

1285
01:00:24,600 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 7: per view. We have five pay per view predictions and

1286
01:00:27,120 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 7: we will begin with the main card opener at light

1287
01:00:29,560 --> 01:00:34,880
Speaker 7: heavyweight Tyson Pedro minus seven forty versus Harry Huntsucker who

1288
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 7: is plus five point forty and Brian has some experience

1289
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:41,040
Speaker 7: with Huntsucker that we will get to here shortly. Huntsucker,

1290
01:00:41,080 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 7: if you don't know, came off of Dana White's Contender series,

1291
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 7: did not get a contract after a loss to Jared Vandera,

1292
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 7: but eventually made his way to the UFC after one

1293
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:51,760
Speaker 7: more win on the regional circuit, then two first round

1294
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 7: knockout losses at heavyweight. Now moving down to two hundred

1295
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,480
Speaker 7: and five pounds for the first time, and he draws

1296
01:00:57,680 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 7: Tyson Pedro Brian Petree.

1297
01:00:59,200 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 3: What do you have?

1298
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean listen, this is I don't want

1299
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,280
Speaker 4: to get ahead of myself because then if I do,

1300
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 4: then I'm gonna have a bunch of Cody Merrill's faces

1301
01:01:08,480 --> 01:01:10,080
Speaker 4: on my ass, because you know I had ahead of

1302
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:14,280
Speaker 4: myself with Onama. But Tyson Pedro he missed three four years.

1303
01:01:15,040 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 4: He's huge, he's good looking, he's got a good podcast.

1304
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:19,920
Speaker 4: They're trying to build this guy. You know, they gave

1305
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:21,960
Speaker 4: Hi Mike going away, but which he looked great, finished

1306
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 4: in the first round. Now I'm gonna give him old

1307
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 4: Harry here. Harry doesn't have a UFC win. He has

1308
01:01:26,560 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 4: one win outside the UFC with a guy over five

1309
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:31,000
Speaker 4: hundred record. He's just he's tough, and I don't want

1310
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 4: to bash the guy. He's a tough guy. He's willing

1311
01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,560
Speaker 4: to show up, take fights on short notice. He's coming

1312
01:01:35,560 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 4: down to two o five and if he's thinking, hey,

1313
01:01:37,480 --> 01:01:39,240
Speaker 4: I'm coming to two o five so I don't have

1314
01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 4: to fight these monsters.

1315
01:01:40,400 --> 01:01:41,160
Speaker 8: Sorry for your luck.

1316
01:01:41,240 --> 01:01:45,200
Speaker 4: Tyson Page is a fucking monster pounder. But I just

1317
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 4: think Tyson has this everywhere. The numbers absurd, but I

1318
01:01:49,640 --> 01:01:51,880
Speaker 4: would I would cap this at eight nine hundred, maybe

1319
01:01:51,880 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 4: even a thousand. I know that's crazy because Tyson only

1320
01:01:54,480 --> 01:01:56,840
Speaker 4: has one win, but I just think he matches up well.

1321
01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:59,360
Speaker 4: I just don't see Harry being able to take it

1322
01:01:59,480 --> 01:02:02,400
Speaker 4: anywhere win. I think Tyson's longer, better on the feet,

1323
01:02:02,440 --> 01:02:04,000
Speaker 4: better on the ground. If you look at his record,

1324
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 4: he had some spun outs before his injury where he

1325
01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 4: gassed down and did it looks so great. Think he

1326
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 4: corrected it. I think he grew up a little bit

1327
01:02:10,800 --> 01:02:13,400
Speaker 4: with his time off, and I just see him winning everywhere.

1328
01:02:13,400 --> 01:02:15,200
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to dive into props. We're gonna go

1329
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:17,680
Speaker 4: first round, finish, submission. Possibly. He's got a lot of

1330
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,120
Speaker 4: sumissions on his record, maybe even a knockout. But I'm

1331
01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:22,920
Speaker 4: big on Tyson here. I think this is this is

1332
01:02:22,960 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 4: a really good showcase. I think that's why it's on

1333
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 4: pay per view too, you know, be like, hey, look

1334
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 4: at this guy. This guy's a stunt all right.

1335
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 7: So Petree Bullish on Pedro likes him early and often

1336
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:35,040
Speaker 7: You're right. He is the much longer fighter, and he

1337
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 7: missed a bunch of time.

1338
01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 8: Ken he did.

1339
01:02:36,720 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 7: Tyson Pedro almost three and a half years due to injury,

1340
01:02:39,320 --> 01:02:41,960
Speaker 7: came back with a pretty big win in April against

1341
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:45,720
Speaker 7: Bill and Wava. I do think it stands to reason

1342
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:48,439
Speaker 7: the Pedro has taken advantage of that forced time away.

1343
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 7: Your thoughts on him here in the pay per view

1344
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 7: opener against Harry Huntsucker.

1345
01:02:52,840 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean for Huntsucker. Fun fact, he's never had

1346
01:02:55,920 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 5: a fight go pass round one. Never, Yeah, twelve fights

1347
01:03:01,000 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 5: or something like that. Something crazy.

1348
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1349
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 5: I mean, maybe I'm wrong on that, but at least

1350
01:03:04,440 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 5: his last several fights have not gone past round one.

1351
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:12,600
Speaker 5: It's insane. So again the bet here is that this

1352
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 5: fight doesn't go past five minutes. But yeah, I mean,

1353
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 5: Tyson I think has him really everywhere, and you know,

1354
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 5: I think it's going to be exciting while it lasts.

1355
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 5: But Tyson Pedrick gets to finish.

1356
01:03:25,040 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 8: All right.

1357
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 7: Next up, we have another wide spread, this one at

1358
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 7: heavyweight Alexander Romanov minus three forty five Marching Tibora plus

1359
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:34,840
Speaker 7: two to eighty five. Romanov is sixteen and oh coming

1360
01:03:34,840 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 7: off and went over Chase Sherman five and zero on

1361
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 7: the UFC, but of course Brian in Tabora, he draws

1362
01:03:40,320 --> 01:03:42,760
Speaker 7: what most would argue is his toughest test to date,

1363
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,960
Speaker 7: not just in the UFC but career wise. Tbora, on

1364
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 7: the other side, fell ill prior to a fight with

1365
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,400
Speaker 7: Arsenio Rosenstrike that was to go down to UFC two

1366
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,320
Speaker 7: to seventy three back in April. Tibora has won five

1367
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 7: of six, but he is coming off a loss against

1368
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 7: Drago Alexander Volcano. Your thoughts on this one at heavyweight

1369
01:03:58,520 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 7: Romanov minus three four five against Tibora.

1370
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 4: So the line's little adawhact to me, Tybora I think

1371
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,480
Speaker 4: is underrated. I know he's thirty six, he's struggling in

1372
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 4: the UFC, but he went on a nice little run

1373
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 4: there for a while, and once he finds his game.

1374
01:04:11,360 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 4: You know, at first he thought he's he was like, oh,

1375
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,400
Speaker 4: I'm gonna I got great case, I'm gonna stand up,

1376
01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 4: but then his chin kind of felt him. Now he's

1377
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:18,840
Speaker 4: taking guys aground, getting on top. He's looked pretty good

1378
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,360
Speaker 4: and he gets a lot of finishes. That's what Romanov

1379
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 4: wants to do. When we saw Romanovs struggle against Juanna Spasino.

1380
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,560
Speaker 4: Another guy who likes to grapple gets you on top,

1381
01:04:27,640 --> 01:04:29,920
Speaker 4: and then the whole nutshot thing happened. You know, I

1382
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:31,560
Speaker 4: would have loved to see how that played out, because

1383
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:34,120
Speaker 4: Romanov looked like he slowed down. But Tibora is not

1384
01:04:34,240 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 4: Chase Sherman here on the ground. Tibora is a big,

1385
01:04:36,120 --> 01:04:38,080
Speaker 4: big boy. I know he's thirty six, but thirty six

1386
01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 4: at heavyweight, it's like twenty six anywhere else. Thirty six

1387
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 4: a heavyweight's not that big of a deal. And you're right,

1388
01:04:43,680 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 4: this is the biggest test for Romanov. And I gotta

1389
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,240
Speaker 4: take a dog shot because the lines are really wide.

1390
01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 4: And what better way to take a dog shot than

1391
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:52,840
Speaker 4: Tybor at heavyweight. I mean, I think Romanov's great. I

1392
01:04:52,880 --> 01:04:55,240
Speaker 4: think he's good, but I do see some limit. You know,

1393
01:04:55,320 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 4: he's a little bit limit right now. I want to

1394
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:59,080
Speaker 4: see him open up more. And I think tyb or

1395
01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 4: if he gets on top and we see, you know,

1396
01:05:01,720 --> 01:05:04,520
Speaker 4: if if Romanov can't Donkey Kong slam his way out

1397
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 4: of it, ty War is gonna have a good night.

1398
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:09,920
Speaker 4: And again, the wine line is wide, very chalky car

1399
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 4: give me the heavyweight underdog here might regret it, but

1400
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 4: I'm gonna take him all right.

1401
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 7: Tabora plus two eighty five right now on DraftKings Sports Book.

1402
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 7: Can flow still undisclosed in terms of the illness that

1403
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:21,720
Speaker 7: Tabora was dealing with, but it seemed like it was

1404
01:05:21,800 --> 01:05:25,920
Speaker 7: something pretty significant. We'll see how he responds here in

1405
01:05:26,040 --> 01:05:28,960
Speaker 7: what is a significant challenge against Alexander Romanov, who he have.

1406
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 5: I like the fact that Typera has evolved. I do

1407
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,280
Speaker 5: think he's been doing some good things. I think his

1408
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:37,160
Speaker 5: win streak was something that surprised me. I've never been

1409
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 5: high on Type WORR, but I can't ignore the fact

1410
01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 5: that he has made some significant improvements in his overall game.

1411
01:05:42,960 --> 01:05:46,480
Speaker 5: I just think that in this one Romanov does a

1412
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 5: lot of things better than that. Then I guess for Tybora,

1413
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 5: all of his strengths, I think Romanov does a lot

1414
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:53,800
Speaker 5: of those things better.

1415
01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 8: If I could say that again.

1416
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 5: So for Romanov, I think he's a better wrestler. I

1417
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 5: don't think Type B is gonna get the chants to

1418
01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 5: take him down. A lot of it is because I

1419
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 5: think Romanov is the better technical wrestler. I also think

1420
01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,880
Speaker 5: he's the better athlete as well, So give me Romanov

1421
01:06:09,440 --> 01:06:09,760
Speaker 5: all right?

1422
01:06:09,800 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 7: Next up featured bout at one hundred and thirty five

1423
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 7: pounds may Rob dwalish Willy minus one twenty five Joseiado

1424
01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:18,680
Speaker 7: plus one oh five. I mean, what else really needs

1425
01:06:18,720 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 7: to be said here? Certainly we talked about dwalash Willy

1426
01:06:21,800 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 7: and his zero and two start in the UFC, lost

1427
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 7: a split to Frankie Signs then submitted by Ricky Simone

1428
01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 7: at the five minute mark of that third and final round.

1429
01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,200
Speaker 7: Won't rehash all of that since those seven consecutive wins.

1430
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 7: Now he has favored Kenny to beat the King of

1431
01:06:36,440 --> 01:06:40,040
Speaker 7: Rio Jose Aldo, who fought Kenny Florian in his second

1432
01:06:40,200 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 7: UFC appearance. Now he makes his twentieth UFC walk against

1433
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 7: may Rob ken Flow. Very close fight on paper. I mean,

1434
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:49,480
Speaker 7: I know you're picking Jose Aldo, but why don't you

1435
01:06:49,520 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 7: give us the breakdown?

1436
01:06:50,280 --> 01:06:55,600
Speaker 5: And you may be right about that, listen, I think

1437
01:06:55,680 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 5: that it may have gone the other way if it

1438
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 5: was if it was a five. And I think that

1439
01:07:02,520 --> 01:07:05,240
Speaker 5: if you look at the fights that Jose Aldo has lost,

1440
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 5: it's been against high pressure fighters, Guys that get in

1441
01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,520
Speaker 5: his face, limit his space, take away his creativity and

1442
01:07:12,800 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 5: stay on him. I think that Aldo can be broken mentally,

1443
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 5: and I think we've seen him guess and tire out.

1444
01:07:22,200 --> 01:07:25,560
Speaker 5: The problem is it tends to be against other strikers,

1445
01:07:25,720 --> 01:07:28,960
Speaker 5: not against other grapplers. Jose Aldo knows how to be

1446
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 5: efficient and pace himself against guys who are trying to

1447
01:07:33,160 --> 01:07:37,240
Speaker 5: take him down. H Dwalash Willie is a phenomenal fighter.

1448
01:07:38,040 --> 01:07:41,160
Speaker 5: He's a guy that is never going to quit. He's

1449
01:07:41,240 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 5: willing to die in that cage. I just think that

1450
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 5: Aldo is going to be a little bit too much

1451
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:51,040
Speaker 5: of a technician for him. He's got so much experience,

1452
01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 5: he really does. And you know, you look at the

1453
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 5: Jose Aldo that has fought the Chad Mendez when Mendez

1454
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,280
Speaker 5: was in his prime, and the other guys that have

1455
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 5: tried to take him tried to take him down. Although

1456
01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 5: seems to thrive against guys like that, and he is

1457
01:08:04,240 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 5: going to have an advantage on the feet. I think,

1458
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:10,320
Speaker 5: you know, Ray Longo would would obviously concede.

1459
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:12,800
Speaker 8: That, but I don't know.

1460
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:15,880
Speaker 5: I think may Rob's gonna have a tougher time taking

1461
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,240
Speaker 5: Jose Aldo down than he thinks he is. Again go

1462
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 5: into five rounds, that fourth and fifth round. Hey, I

1463
01:08:23,439 --> 01:08:27,839
Speaker 5: might change my pick, but I think Jose Aldo against

1464
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 5: a guy like may Rob for fifteen minutes.

1465
01:08:31,479 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 8: I like Aldo in that one.

1466
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,800
Speaker 7: All right, Ken flows on Jose Aldo, who can be

1467
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:39,480
Speaker 7: had as a slight underdog right now on DraftKings Sportsbook.

1468
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,719
Speaker 7: Brian Longo's not going to really give you anything technical.

1469
01:08:42,760 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 7: He'll give you a lot of stuff here on the

1470
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 7: Anticmploring podcast, but when it comes to his guys and

1471
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,640
Speaker 7: giving you any sort of technical breakdown in advance of

1472
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 7: a fight, You're just not going to get it.

1473
01:08:50,920 --> 01:08:52,519
Speaker 8: So how do you see this one plan out? And

1474
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 8: ultimately on which side of your fall? Brother?

1475
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 4: I mean, Kenny killed it. Kenny took everything I was

1476
01:08:57,320 --> 01:09:00,519
Speaker 4: gonna say. I mean, Jose does struggle with pressures. That's

1477
01:09:00,520 --> 01:09:02,759
Speaker 4: how Max beat him, even though Max is not a grappler.

1478
01:09:02,840 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 4: It was just Jose didn't get to set his pace.

1479
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 4: But Jose's fought really good grapplers like Frank, He had

1480
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:10,799
Speaker 4: Frank Jagger's number and so forth. But I think Morob's different.

1481
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:11,240
Speaker 3: I do.

1482
01:09:11,479 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 4: I think this guy's built different. I think if when

1483
01:09:14,080 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 4: you look at the Frankie fight, Frank Frankie would die

1484
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,240
Speaker 4: for a double leg or single what not get it

1485
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:19,719
Speaker 4: and then not go back to it for a while.

1486
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 4: I think Morob's going right back to it. I don't

1487
01:09:21,800 --> 01:09:23,760
Speaker 4: think he's stopping. I think he's nicknamed the machine for

1488
01:09:23,840 --> 01:09:26,200
Speaker 4: a reason, and I agree one hundred percent. I would

1489
01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 4: love this at five rounds. At five rounds, I think

1490
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:31,040
Speaker 4: it favors Marob for sure. But three round fight, he's

1491
01:09:31,080 --> 01:09:32,679
Speaker 4: got to get on. He's got to go after Jose,

1492
01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 4: and Jose looks really dangerous with his hands lately. His

1493
01:09:34,920 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 4: body working did against Cheeto. I just rewatched that fight

1494
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:39,960
Speaker 4: is incredible, and me he's boxing is top notch. To know,

1495
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,000
Speaker 4: we kind of lost his leg kicks even though they

1496
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 4: came back in the Moon Noose fight. His boxing's phenomenal,

1497
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,639
Speaker 4: and I think Morob's gonna have to be very careful

1498
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,360
Speaker 4: in that first round because we saw what happened in

1499
01:09:48,360 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 4: the Mari's fight. He tends to get kind of wilden

1500
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 4: and get caught. He did most of his camp in Vegas,

1501
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:55,040
Speaker 4: I believe, is what I hear. I wonder how much

1502
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 4: you know was Ray you know, skyping in or whatever

1503
01:09:57,600 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 4: the case may be. Obviously Ray's gonna be in his corner,

1504
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:02,799
Speaker 4: and it is dictating that stuff, But I do like Maravii.

1505
01:10:02,800 --> 01:10:04,559
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go opposite Kenny. I wish I was getting

1506
01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 4: in a plus number. I saw it open as a

1507
01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:09,000
Speaker 4: pick them. I understand my Morobi's the favorite guy right now,

1508
01:10:09,040 --> 01:10:11,680
Speaker 4: but I think this kid's a star. I love his personality,

1509
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,280
Speaker 4: I love his fighting style. I think he needs to

1510
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 4: be put on a pedestal. Beating a guy like jose

1511
01:10:15,800 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 4: Ado is going to get you that. And I think

1512
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:20,560
Speaker 4: he was talking about going to one twenty five, so

1513
01:10:20,600 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 4: it does he have to fight al Jo or Aljo's

1514
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 4: going up for forty five because they got to work

1515
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 4: some stuff out. Because I think after this win, Morob's

1516
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 4: right there. I think it's a decision win for Morob.

1517
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,120
Speaker 4: It's gonna be close. And really it's a good live

1518
01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 4: betting spot too, because we can really see how Morob

1519
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,880
Speaker 4: is handling or Auto's handling Morob's pressure, and you can

1520
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:41,920
Speaker 4: flip flop there, switch your pick a little bit. But

1521
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 4: right now, I like Morom.

1522
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 7: I think Sterling's probably going to retire after two or

1523
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:48,600
Speaker 7: three more fights, and I think, okay, I already one

1524
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:50,599
Speaker 7: hundred and thirty five pounds, he can retire.

1525
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 4: Real co I'm sorry, real quick, did you guys cover

1526
01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 4: Roy McDonald? I want to get Kenny start unto Roy McDonald.

1527
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:56,880
Speaker 4: You guys cover? Okay, okay?

1528
01:10:56,920 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 3: Good?

1529
01:10:57,680 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 8: Yeah? I love Roy.

1530
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,479
Speaker 4: I mean he's he's a so I.

1531
01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 8: Saw him go out, so that's no of course, the

1532
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 8: red fucking king bro Yeah all right.

1533
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:09,800
Speaker 7: Co Maine event in the middleweight division, Paolo Costa minus

1534
01:11:09,840 --> 01:11:12,600
Speaker 7: three hundred, Luke Rocold plus two fifty. I don't know

1535
01:11:12,680 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 7: how you handicap Luke Rockold right now as a better

1536
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 7: or as an odds maker. He hasn't fought since that

1537
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 7: knockout lost toy Ambohovich back in twenty nineteen. Was gonna

1538
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 7: face Shot Strickland. Obviously that fight did not happen. Last

1539
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 7: win for Luke Rockold came in a main event in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,

1540
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:31,720
Speaker 7: in twenty seventeen. I was like in my thirties, you know.

1541
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 7: Kamar Usman fought on that main card. Gilbert Burns was

1542
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:38,400
Speaker 7: the first fight of the night against Jason Sago. It's

1543
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:41,439
Speaker 7: been a while. Now he draws Costa Bry who is

1544
01:11:41,479 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 7: a three to one favorite to beat him.

1545
01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

1546
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:46,720
Speaker 7: Costa also winless spanning his last two What are your

1547
01:11:46,760 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 7: thoughts on this? One in the comin event.

1548
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:49,920
Speaker 8: Man, I love this fight.

1549
01:11:50,000 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 4: It almost doesn't make sense, but it like perfectly makes sense,

1550
01:11:53,520 --> 01:11:53,680
Speaker 4: you know.

1551
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:54,040
Speaker 9: What I mean?

1552
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 4: Like cost hasn't once is y'all? It seems like ten

1553
01:11:57,400 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 4: years ago, and then he's had that weird weight thing

1554
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:01,840
Speaker 4: with Vi Tori and then you mentioned rock Hold. Feel

1555
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 4: like he hasn't won it's been five years. Both these

1556
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 4: guys are allergic to shirts. Every every I see rock

1557
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,599
Speaker 4: Hold any shirtless. But if I had that body, I'd

1558
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,120
Speaker 4: be doing these picks shirtless. So I mean, go ahead, Luke.

1559
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,240
Speaker 4: The one thing I get it with, I like looking

1560
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:16,479
Speaker 4: into guy's mentals. I like watching interviews and seeing where

1561
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:18,760
Speaker 4: they're at. Luke Brockold for guys coming off a lot

1562
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,360
Speaker 4: of knockouts and getting pegged, Chinny getting pegged the chin guy.

1563
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:23,240
Speaker 4: He sat down with DC and it was a really

1564
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 4: good interview and it was open and honest. And I

1565
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,160
Speaker 4: never really thought, I don't think he has the best chin,

1566
01:12:27,240 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 4: But I thought a lot of his problems were defensively.

1567
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,840
Speaker 4: You know, the Yom Bolhobas knockout, it was a defensive problem.

1568
01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,360
Speaker 4: The Michael bisbeeing, obviously, KA was a defensive problem. If

1569
01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,240
Speaker 4: he can fix that he's working with Perro. I think

1570
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,400
Speaker 4: it's gonna be uh, you know. I think he's a

1571
01:12:38,439 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 4: dangerous fighter. I think he's also really good on top.

1572
01:12:40,720 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 8: Like his top game.

1573
01:12:42,080 --> 01:12:43,560
Speaker 4: I don't think his wrestlings are that great, but his

1574
01:12:43,680 --> 01:12:45,240
Speaker 4: talking's brutal. I mean, you saw what he did to

1575
01:12:45,320 --> 01:12:47,439
Speaker 4: Chris Wyman. You've seen what he does you know to

1576
01:12:47,520 --> 01:12:49,200
Speaker 4: other people as well. When he gets on top, that

1577
01:12:49,960 --> 01:12:52,040
Speaker 4: is his game, that's where he should be. But easier

1578
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 4: setting down with paul A Costa, who is hard to get,

1579
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,840
Speaker 4: you know, held down and get taken now. But man,

1580
01:12:57,080 --> 01:12:58,800
Speaker 4: I just love to know where these guys' mentals are.

1581
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 4: I was literally gonna take a shut in rock hold,

1582
01:13:01,280 --> 01:13:03,559
Speaker 4: but I just can't. He hasn't wont to fight five years,

1583
01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,720
Speaker 4: and he's fighting a power puncher in Costa. He's been

1584
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,240
Speaker 4: a little more active in I think I think Luke

1585
01:13:09,280 --> 01:13:11,000
Speaker 4: could have a really good game plan if he stays

1586
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 4: away kicks. He's got great kicks, body kicks, head kicks.

1587
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 4: He's fast, and obviously maybe get on top is what

1588
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 4: I would do. But Costa closing the distance from that power,

1589
01:13:20,280 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 4: I just I can't go against him, even the line's huge.

1590
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,400
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go Costa. I'm gonna be a little chalk

1591
01:13:24,439 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 4: boy hearing.

1592
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 3: In go Costa.

1593
01:13:25,920 --> 01:13:26,519
Speaker 8: No, that's all right.

1594
01:13:26,640 --> 01:13:30,000
Speaker 7: Costa can flow seemingly has remade himself physically, and I

1595
01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 7: do think you can argue that he has underachieved thus

1596
01:13:32,800 --> 01:13:35,439
Speaker 7: far in the UFC, As crazy as that sounds for

1597
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 7: a guy who has already realized a title shot. Obviously

1598
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 7: that night it didn't go well. Then he loses to

1599
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:44,800
Speaker 7: Marvin Vttori. Hasn't won since August of twenty nineteen. That

1600
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,960
Speaker 7: was DC Step A two. So it's all in front

1601
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 7: of Polo Costa here. I can understand why he has

1602
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 7: gone all in, at least as far as the training

1603
01:13:52,920 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 7: is concerned. Polo Costa, Luke rock Hold can't flow comine

1604
01:13:56,439 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 7: event a UFC two seventy eight who he have.

1605
01:13:59,000 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 8: I would argue that.

1606
01:13:59,720 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 5: Both guys haven't really fulfilled their potential. I know Luke

1607
01:14:02,240 --> 01:14:05,640
Speaker 5: Rockold has been a world champion, but I think that

1608
01:14:06,520 --> 01:14:09,920
Speaker 5: whether it's cockiness or some bad training methods or habits

1609
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:14,080
Speaker 5: you know, have affected him. I thought he was one

1610
01:14:14,080 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 5: of those guys that maybe was going to have the

1611
01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:19,679
Speaker 5: belt for a very long time. Now, when you've had

1612
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,720
Speaker 5: the habit of leaving that lead hand down as low

1613
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 5: as he has for all these years. Is one camp

1614
01:14:26,240 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 5: going to change that. I don't think so. And I

1615
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,880
Speaker 5: think for Paulo Costa, say what you want, but the

1616
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 5: guy is game. He is going to fight hard. H

1617
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 5: He is very fast, and we were talking about you

1618
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,479
Speaker 5: know what had what maybe plague dominant cruise in this

1619
01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:45,439
Speaker 5: last fight?

1620
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 4: Is it?

1621
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 5: Is it a chin that is not what it used

1622
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:51,880
Speaker 5: to be? For that, you know, I think it would

1623
01:14:51,880 --> 01:14:53,960
Speaker 5: be expectative to say that, you know, his chin is,

1624
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:55,639
Speaker 5: you know, worse.

1625
01:14:55,840 --> 01:14:56,479
Speaker 3: I don't think so.

1626
01:14:57,120 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 5: But for Luke Rockhold, when I see how he used

1627
01:15:00,960 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 5: to take punches to how he takes punches now, I

1628
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 5: would kind of be willing to say that his chin

1629
01:15:07,479 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 5: isn't what it used to be. It just is he

1630
01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:12,320
Speaker 5: used to take shots great. He always had that issue

1631
01:15:12,360 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 5: with the with the lead hand being low and he

1632
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 5: get caught here and there. But at something change after

1633
01:15:17,880 --> 01:15:22,000
Speaker 5: that Bisping fight, and you know, he has it won

1634
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:25,439
Speaker 5: in a long time and it's hard to pick him

1635
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:28,440
Speaker 5: in this fight. So I'm gonna go with the Brazilian

1636
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 5: Luke rock Hold here Paulo Costa. They are very similar now,

1637
01:15:31,880 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 5: but I think I think Paulo Costa gets it done here.

1638
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:35,639
Speaker 8: He is quite a big favorite.

1639
01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 5: But you know, it'd be nice to see Luke Rockold

1640
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:42,639
Speaker 5: get back on track, but I just don't see.

1641
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 7: It happening at this stage of the game, all right,

1642
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 7: And that brings us to the main event. Kamar Usman

1643
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,839
Speaker 7: minus three p forty Leon Edwards plus two eighty second

1644
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:55,519
Speaker 7: meeting between these two. The first fight December nineteenth, twenty fifteen.

1645
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 7: That was Leon Edwards's fourth fight in the UFC. He

1646
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:02,479
Speaker 7: is unbeaten in ten fight since for Usman. Back then,

1647
01:16:02,560 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 7: Brian it was only his second fight in the UFC

1648
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 7: and was still at a pretty high level. Since, of course,

1649
01:16:07,680 --> 01:16:09,680
Speaker 7: he has only gone on to become a future Hall

1650
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 7: of Famer and one of the greatest of all time.

1651
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:14,240
Speaker 7: Your thoughts on the price and ultimately who wins the

1652
01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,240
Speaker 7: odd disputed UFC welchwaight title in Salt Lake City?

1653
01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:18,960
Speaker 8: So I think the price is good.

1654
01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:22,200
Speaker 4: I mean, Kamaro's getting thrown around the goat conversation. You know,

1655
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:24,320
Speaker 4: number one pound for pound currently for me right now,

1656
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 4: And you know I've gotten a lot of arguments with

1657
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:28,679
Speaker 4: people on you know, not argument. It's just a little

1658
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 4: back and forth where they're like, Kamar can be number one, dude,

1659
01:16:31,760 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 4: he almost be barely beat Kolby. Guys, he finished Coolby

1660
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:38,120
Speaker 4: in the first fight. Do we just forget that it

1661
01:16:38,240 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 4: was a close fight but he knocked him out in

1662
01:16:39,800 --> 01:16:40,280
Speaker 4: the fifth round.

1663
01:16:40,360 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 3: Let's just not ignore that. The hate for Usman will.

1664
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 4: Never I'll never understand that. I think the guy is

1665
01:16:45,720 --> 01:16:48,599
Speaker 4: first class individual. I think he's got swagger. I think

1666
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 4: he's an exciting fighter, and I think he's well spoken,

1667
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,000
Speaker 4: great story. So this hate for him is kind of

1668
01:16:54,040 --> 01:16:57,280
Speaker 4: weird and and you know, and biases aside. But I think,

1669
01:16:57,479 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 4: you know, I can't compare him to the god. I

1670
01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 4: don't do those or say his GSP is a special fighter.

1671
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 4: But in this fight, you know, seven years into making

1672
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 4: Leon has made improves. But you look at his record,

1673
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 4: I'm not overly impressed. He's definitely shown some really good

1674
01:17:09,479 --> 01:17:11,600
Speaker 4: skills like being able to stop the takedown now and

1675
01:17:11,680 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 4: be able to get up. You know, the Gunner Nelson

1676
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:14,840
Speaker 4: fight was a was a big deal, even though he

1677
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:17,040
Speaker 4: lost that third round. But the one thing that kind

1678
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 4: of keep coming back to is he gets hit a

1679
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,120
Speaker 4: little bit. He gets he gets he gets roughed, up.

1680
01:17:20,120 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 4: He gets stepped in potholes a few times when he

1681
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:23,880
Speaker 4: gets tagged. You know, the Nate ds fifth round was

1682
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:25,960
Speaker 4: was a little shaky for him, you know, like even

1683
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 4: though he has lost every minute of that round, people

1684
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 4: think Nate won the fight because of the optics at

1685
01:17:30,240 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 4: the end of the fifth round. I think Leon is

1686
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 4: the better striker on the feet. I think has more weapons,

1687
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:38,559
Speaker 4: But I think Tomorrow is better at MMA. He has

1688
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 4: the better wrestling. I think even Leon can test his

1689
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:44,600
Speaker 4: wrestling all he wants into it. But you say that

1690
01:17:44,800 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 4: it's better, but it's not gonna be as good as Kamorrow's.

1691
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:48,840
Speaker 4: I think Kamara's boxing is really good. He does tend

1692
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:50,240
Speaker 4: to get a little wild in the pocket. He kind

1693
01:17:50,280 --> 01:17:51,640
Speaker 4: of sticks his head down and throws a little bit,

1694
01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 4: But you're working at Trevor Whitman, You're gonna clean that up.

1695
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,160
Speaker 4: His power is big. Say what you want about masolaal

1696
01:17:56,200 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 4: but he slept Masova, which no one's ever done, and

1697
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:01,040
Speaker 4: that was I mean, that was one of the greatest

1698
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 4: knockouts ever. I like Kamara here, like the number. I'm

1699
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:05,920
Speaker 4: gonna play Him'm gonna play him by finish. I think

1700
01:18:05,960 --> 01:18:08,479
Speaker 4: he's gonna take him probably in the second or third round.

1701
01:18:08,479 --> 01:18:10,640
Speaker 4: I think Leon's tough, but I just think Kamar is

1702
01:18:10,640 --> 01:18:12,120
Speaker 4: too much right now, he's in the pocket and now I.

1703
01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:14,639
Speaker 5: Like Kamar kenhel what do you have on the main event,

1704
01:18:15,479 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 5: Because I'm in England right now, I'm going not gonna

1705
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:22,680
Speaker 5: make a pick. So sorry, yeah, listen, I got a

1706
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 5: few more days here, guys, I'm gonna have to hide out,

1707
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,840
Speaker 5: but I am. I am gonna go with Kamara Usman

1708
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 5: as well, right, I mean, uh, just a phenomenal fighter,

1709
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 5: and the big thing for him is he's improved his

1710
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:39,000
Speaker 5: boxing to a point where he's setting up his takedowns well.

1711
01:18:39,400 --> 01:18:42,120
Speaker 8: And you know, is he a perfect striker? No, he isn't.

1712
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 5: But if you want to go out there and take

1713
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,840
Speaker 5: Uzman out, which I think is the only way to

1714
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:48,519
Speaker 5: beat him, You're not gonna beat him by decision to

1715
01:18:48,680 --> 01:18:52,679
Speaker 5: out wrestle him round after round after round. In that division,

1716
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,240
Speaker 5: I just don't see it happening, you know. And Leon Edwards,

1717
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,439
Speaker 5: while he has made significant improvements in his game and

1718
01:18:59,520 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 5: he is a phenomenal fighter and a dangerous striker, he's

1719
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 5: got to be aggressive in this fight. And in being

1720
01:19:06,080 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 5: aggressive in this fight, that means backing Uzman up. But

1721
01:19:09,200 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 5: Usman's not gonna back up. It's gonna allow him to

1722
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:13,799
Speaker 5: level change, get to a clinch or hit a takedown.

1723
01:19:13,840 --> 01:19:15,880
Speaker 5: He's gonna get on top of you, and he's gonna

1724
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:21,640
Speaker 5: make your life absolutely miserable. And I just don't see anybody,

1725
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:24,400
Speaker 5: you know, forget Leon Edwards. I don't see anybody at

1726
01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:26,200
Speaker 5: this stage of the game who really is going to

1727
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 5: be good enough on their back to submit him, or

1728
01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,040
Speaker 5: good enough on their back to elevate, make those frames

1729
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:35,280
Speaker 5: and get back to their feet repeatedly without being exhausted

1730
01:19:35,360 --> 01:19:36,160
Speaker 5: later in this fight.

1731
01:19:36,360 --> 01:19:39,559
Speaker 8: So Kamara Uzman wins. Another one.

1732
01:19:40,680 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 5: Consistency for this guy has just been phenomenal. I don't

1733
01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,559
Speaker 5: see anyone in that division as of right now getting

1734
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 5: the win. Obviously, anything can happen. Uzman just too consistent,

1735
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:54,360
Speaker 5: too strong everywhere. He gets it done.

1736
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 7: Yet again, and as much respect as I have for

1737
01:19:57,160 --> 01:20:00,280
Speaker 7: Leon Edwards, I would argue that minus three four for

1738
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 7: Kamara Usman could easily be minus five forty, and I

1739
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:06,759
Speaker 7: think some people wouldn't bat an eye. Perhaps Leon Edwards

1740
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 7: would get bet if he was plus four twenty or

1741
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,880
Speaker 7: whatever would be the comeback price. But I mean Kamara usman,

1742
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,000
Speaker 7: he's trying to tie Anderson Silver's record here for the

1743
01:20:15,040 --> 01:20:18,160
Speaker 7: longest win streak in UFC history at sixteen And to me,

1744
01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 7: you're getting guy who's fifteen to oh in the UFC

1745
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:22,240
Speaker 7: at minus three forty. I can think a lot of

1746
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 7: guys we've seen in this minus two to eighty range

1747
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 7: or so minus three hundred that don't deserve it. I

1748
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,439
Speaker 7: think Kamara does. All right, Brian Petrie, I know it's

1749
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 7: been a long day for your brother. Appreciation time anything

1750
01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 7: before we let you go?

1751
01:20:32,280 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, real quick, you hit one hundred percent, people get

1752
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,639
Speaker 4: afraid to bet minus three forty, But when you look

1753
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:38,559
Speaker 4: at who the guy is, it's a it's a pretty

1754
01:20:38,600 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 4: good number. Secondly, Kenny's on fucking fire. I don't know

1755
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:43,800
Speaker 4: if it's the England tee over there what he's doing.

1756
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,680
Speaker 4: I want to ask Kenny a question. Let's just go

1757
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:48,240
Speaker 4: down this rabbit hole. Is Kamorrow your number one pound

1758
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:48,880
Speaker 4: for pound right now?

1759
01:20:51,479 --> 01:20:51,759
Speaker 9: Currently?

1760
01:20:51,920 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 8: Yea of all time? No f as as far as

1761
01:20:57,720 --> 01:20:58,960
Speaker 8: a number one pound for pound?

1762
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:02,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, Yeah, it's it's amazing what what he has

1763
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:04,920
Speaker 5: done and the kind of fighter that he's turned into.

1764
01:21:06,560 --> 01:21:08,920
Speaker 5: Hard to find someone more dominant in the division right now.

1765
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:10,840
Speaker 5: And that's a division of course that has been one

1766
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 5: of the best for many and many years now.

1767
01:21:13,200 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 8: So yeah, I haven't met I haven't met Number one.

1768
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,720
Speaker 4: Okay, good, I just want to pick I gave up

1769
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:19,719
Speaker 4: my pound for pound kamaras number one. I was getting

1770
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:21,519

Speaker 3: Uh.

1802
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 9: Just a couple of things I wanted to point out

1803
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 9: from that card. Uh, Yasmin Lucindo, she did lose, but

1804
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:47,479
Speaker 9: twenty years old has eighteen pro fights.

1805
01:22:48,320 --> 01:22:48,800
Speaker 8: What the hell?

1806
01:22:50,280 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 9: What is there like a high school class of a

1807
01:22:52,760 --> 01:22:55,840
Speaker 9: pro amateur pro MMA fighting in Brazil? I mean, geez,

1808
01:22:56,720 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 9: I thought that was really crazy. I've actually hired Devin Clkes.

1809
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:01,879
Speaker 9: Clark's day had to call me every morning to motivate

1810
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 9: me it's great. It's it's a bargain at this point.

1811
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:06,360
Speaker 9: I mean, he gets me up there ready to go,

1812
01:23:06,479 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 9: I'm let in the pencil.

1813
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:10,680
Speaker 8: I mean, at least get that guy on cameo. Right,

1814
01:23:11,439 --> 01:23:12,719
Speaker 8: oh right, yeah, that's.

1815
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 9: A good someone suggest that.

1816
01:23:14,439 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 8: Huh, Kenny and I are on cameo.

1817
01:23:15,960 --> 01:23:18,320
Speaker 7: By the way, we don't promote it because well, there

1818
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:20,680
Speaker 7: are a number of different reasons, right, but I did

1819
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,760
Speaker 7: do one this weekend. And I'm not saying this for

1820
01:23:23,840 --> 01:23:25,960
Speaker 7: any promotional purpose, but I think it's interesting that I

1821
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,680
Speaker 7: sort of got to begin their MMA fantasy draft, you know,

1822
01:23:29,760 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 7: which was a very fun one for me to do,

1823
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:34,760
Speaker 7: as opposed to, Hey, happy birthday Colos, you know, to

1824
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 7: actually be like all right, you know, slaptics, you are

1825
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:38,320
Speaker 7: on the clock, you have the first pick.

1826
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 3: You know.

1827
01:23:38,640 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 8: It was pretty cool.

1828
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 3: But I digress.

1829
01:23:41,360 --> 01:23:45,080
Speaker 9: No, fantasy season's coming up to NFL Fantasy. Maybe maybe

1830
01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 9: we'll work with DraftKings, maybe do some like Antyga Florian

1831
01:23:48,400 --> 01:23:50,280
Speaker 9: Pools or something like that, you know, maybe a lot,

1832
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:53,320
Speaker 9: maybe do a week to week lineup thing. There's some

1833
01:23:53,400 --> 01:23:55,519
Speaker 9: collaboration there. I'm sure we can figure out any like

1834
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 9: the NFL sees it. Well, we have to because the

1835
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 9: Patriots aren't gonna win more than seven games, so it's

1836
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:03,920
Speaker 9: like you got to top them to watch, you know. No,

1837
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:07,000
Speaker 9: I'm pessimist as they come as a Patsman right now,

1838
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 9: although John was right the Monday after a pat Super

1839
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 9: Bowl loss. It's just terrible, which privileged fan in me

1840
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 9: is like, you know, Brian's like, yeah, I've had one

1841
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:18,479
Speaker 9: in my entire lifetime, and I'm like, yeah, well, sorry,

1842
01:24:18,479 --> 01:24:22,160
Speaker 9: I've had eight nine something like that. Uh GM three.

1843
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 9: Want to get a special shout out to him for

1844
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,080
Speaker 9: the performance in just a legendary career, you know, still

1845
01:24:27,160 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 9: going ninth submission at ninety nine seconds into round three,

1846
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 9: He's just one finished shy of Anderson Silver's record at

1847
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,519
Speaker 9: one eighty five, and he just.

1848
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love that you're shouting him out and all

1849
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,040
Speaker 7: the matchmaking, and he's been in so many tough fights.

1850
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,240
Speaker 9: He doesn't say no either. I mean, the guy's tough

1851
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:45,160
Speaker 9: as nails, toughest they come. Blal obviously in the corner.

1852
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:47,599
Speaker 9: I think he's undefeated as a cornerman in the last

1853
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:52,040
Speaker 9: couple of years. Turns to gold that guy, I know, right,

1854
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,519
Speaker 9: some might say anything that I touch his turns to

1855
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,200
Speaker 9: gold blow hasn't lost, hasn't lost in the corner Algiel

1856
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 9: hasn't lost.

1857
01:24:57,720 --> 01:24:59,920
Speaker 7: I mean, it's the opposite of the MMA live curse

1858
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 7: that is actually memorialized up here. I could actually maybe

1859
01:25:04,120 --> 01:25:06,160
Speaker 7: reach it from here. But there was a time and

1860
01:25:06,240 --> 01:25:09,519
Speaker 7: it didn't involve Ken Flow, but Rashad Evans, Miguel Torres,

1861
01:25:09,560 --> 01:25:13,320
Speaker 7: Stefan Bonner or analysts successively like lost all their fights,

1862
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:16,439
Speaker 7: and people suggested that anybody who hopped on our set

1863
01:25:16,640 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 7: was destined to lose their next one.

1864
01:25:19,240 --> 01:25:20,840
Speaker 9: Well, there is a curse like that going on in

1865
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 9: MMA media, but we won't talk about who that is.

1866
01:25:24,960 --> 01:25:26,679
Speaker 9: The only people that are ahead of him in subs

1867
01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:29,640
Speaker 9: are just legends, hoys Gracie, Jim Miller, Demi Maya, and

1868
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:33,000
Speaker 9: Charles on Neveda. So not not terrible. We walk into

1869
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 9: a room with those guys, right.

1870
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 8: You know, yeah, you know what's up.

1871
01:25:36,760 --> 01:25:39,439
Speaker 9: Nina Nunaz retired. I wanted to give her a shout out.

1872
01:25:39,680 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 9: She actually fought in the UFC's third bantamweight bout, so

1873
01:25:43,640 --> 01:25:47,160
Speaker 9: her career is kind of synonymous with that division, and

1874
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,599
Speaker 9: obviously she just wants to, you know, focus on other things.

1875
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 9: So more power to them. And they look really happy Amanda.

1876
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,880
Speaker 9: Amanda was actually in the corner for arian E Libski,

1877
01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:57,439
Speaker 9: which is exciting. So I just wanted to make sure

1878
01:25:57,439 --> 01:25:59,679
Speaker 9: that Nina got her flowers there. It was a great moment.

1879
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,479
Speaker 7: No, I agree, and I think that's very important. I

1880
01:26:02,560 --> 01:26:04,719
Speaker 7: love Nina and I love Amanda, and I love the family,

1881
01:26:04,800 --> 01:26:07,640
Speaker 7: and Nina wants more babies, and I wanted to go

1882
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 7: out with a win, and she was able to accomplish that.

1883
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:10,479
Speaker 8: Very cool.

1884
01:26:11,040 --> 01:26:13,920
Speaker 9: I love that last point I saw on the internet.

1885
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:15,720
Speaker 9: I was trying to confirm this, but I couldn't find

1886
01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:18,880
Speaker 9: data on it. Mike Perry and Nate Land were fun

1887
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:22,840
Speaker 9: and amateur fight in twenty ten apparently, which like, can

1888
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:24,880
Speaker 9: you imagine the rematch of that? Like, I know it

1889
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,800
Speaker 9: can't happen because Mike Perry's not in the UFC, but like, man,

1890
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:29,560
Speaker 9: sign me up, Like I'll show up for that.

1891
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 7: I don't care where it is, just looking into my

1892
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:33,880
Speaker 7: fighter car library here to see if I have that

1893
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:34,679
Speaker 7: on Land where.

1894
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,680
Speaker 8: But you know what, we got to get out of here.

1895
01:26:36,760 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 8: Ken Flow's got things to do.

1896
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:40,240
Speaker 9: And yeah, well so the last two points I got here.

1897
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,400
Speaker 9: Ken Flow actually had to decline the Connor McGregor role

1898
01:26:43,439 --> 01:26:45,400
Speaker 9: in Roadhouse. I'm not sure why. I guess they just

1899
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 9: won't get to pay him enough, but Connor's going to

1900
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,360
Speaker 9: be in roadhouse at Jake Jillen Hall starts filming this

1901
