3

Speaker 2: after pleading guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for rigging

00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: cases in his court. Angus McGuinty committed the ultimate judicial sin.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: Why did you do it?

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: I did it because I was foolish.

Speaker 7: November twenty ninth. The year is still twenty twenty one.

Speaker 7: It's episode three, twenty six of the anakmploring podcast Ken Flow.

20
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 7: Did you enjoy the week off miss me at all?

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 3: I did? I did?

22
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 8: I ate way too much? You know it was a

23
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 8: bad boy but other than that, Yes, I did miss you.

24
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've been. I've been cutting weight the last forty

25
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 7: eight hours. I think I was like in my own

26
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 7: little eating competition on Thursday to see if I could

27
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 7: do like six seven thousand calories. We cleared seven seven

28
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 7: thousand calories. There's no doubt. But man, this MMA news

29
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 7: cycle just continues to give. We'll talk a little bit

30
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 7: today about the main event offering between Benil dar USh

31
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 7: and Islam Makasha. That should provide further clarity. Of course,

32
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 7: the top the lightweight division. That one's in February, so

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 7: we'll get some thoughts from Ken Flow an early handicap

34
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 7: on that time, permitting some thoughts on tryad combat. Am

35
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 7: I pronouncing that right?

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Ken Flow? Yes?

37
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 5: Tread or appreciating.

38
00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 7: Like triage, Triad combat, Platinum Perry reportedly making a quarter

39
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 7: mill to show and victorious in a triangle over the weekend.

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 7: But we were obviously not here during Thanksgiving week, so

41
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 7: I would like to get your thoughts, at least off

42
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 7: the top and headlines on the main event between Kaitlyn

43
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 7: Vieda and Mesha Tate. Unanimous decision for Fieta forty eight

44
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 7: forty seven times two dissenting judge forty nine to forty six,

45
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 7: four to one, all three judges in favor of Kaitlyn Viada.

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 7: I would agree with me should tate that as an observer,

47
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 7: a somewhat distracted observer, minds you. I thought it was

48
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 7: a relatively close fight, but I thought Kaitlyn Viea was

49
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 7: certainly the winner. Of your thoughts on the main event

50
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 7: a couple weeks ago.

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think I saw it the same way. I

52
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 8: think that I saw some major improvements as far as

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 8: some of the striking mechanics of me Shad Tate. I

54
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 8: thought she was a much better striker out there and

55
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,359
Speaker 8: made some excellent progress there.

56
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 3: But I thought Kaitlyn Vieira was more effective.

57
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 8: I thought Misha wasn't moving her feet as well, and

58
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 8: she was taking some shots and wearing the shots of Vieira,

59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 8: and I think that really was the difference. At the

60
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 8: end of the day, Kaitlyn Vieira showed improvements herself. I

61
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 8: thought her fundamentals were a little bit more solid. She

62
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 8: did a good job of stopping those takedowns. I thought

63
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 8: if Misha was able to get on top, I thought

64
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 8: it would have favored Misha for sure, she wasn't successful

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 8: in that realm and it was a close fight, but certainly,

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 8: had Kaitlyn Viea winning that fight.

67
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 5: You had a great week.

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 7: By the way, if betters had put one hundred dollars

69
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 7: on all of your selections, your only miss was on

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 7: Misha plus five hundred and twenty seven dollars, you're making

71
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 7: the listener's money over the last week ago. But as

72
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 7: far as Kaitlyn Vieda is concerned, and you know, sometimes

73
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 7: in lieu of an analytical mind like yours, I focus

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 7: on things like you know, commitment right, and work ethic

75
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 7: and focus right, and sometimes you need the right opponent

76
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 7: and the right fight to bring you back to that place.

77
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 7: And anyone who remembers when Kaitlyn Vieda was signed by

78
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 7: the UFC knows that the promotion thought highly of her

79
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 7: and thought that she could results like this. And I

80
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 7: think when you get a main event against a returning,

81
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 7: motivated Mescha Tate title eliminator of sorts, insofar as one

82
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 7: of you is eliminated, and Mesha Tate was eliminated, I

83
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 7: thought it brought the best out of Kaitlyn Vita. She

84
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,240
Speaker 7: was focused, she made weight and man, she hits fucking hard.

85
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 3: Huh, she hits hard.

86
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 8: You know, she's definitely well built for that division and

87
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 8: again showed improvements. And I think you look at her

88
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 8: fight against Arana Aldonna, you know, the improvements that she's

89
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 8: made since then, and you know, coming back from you know,

90
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 8: those couple of losses, she showed that she is tough,

91
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 8: she is determined, and she went against Mesha Tate. Like

92
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 8: you said, she went to against a Misha Tate that

93
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 8: was highly motivated, that showed improvements. It wasn't enough, but

94
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 8: I think Misha's on the right track. This is a

95
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 8: Mesha Tate late in her career that is improving as

96
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 8: a martial artist and as a fighter, and I expect.

97
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 3: More of those changes moving forward from her as well.

98
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 7: And of course, in less than two weeks, Juliannapenya in

99
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,720
Speaker 7: this division will challenge Amanda Nenz for one of her

100
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 7: two titles, the UFC Women's Bandhamweight Championship. And for those

101
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 7: suggesting that the waters are pretty shallow thereafter, you know,

102
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,119
Speaker 7: Kaitlyn Vieda is a new challenger. A lot of people

103
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 7: thought that maybe she would have gotten to the top

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 7: of the heap sooner but after this win over Misha

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 7: remains to be seeing. How many cuts to thirty five

106
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 7: New Nest still has left remains to be seen if

107
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 7: she even gets past Juliana Penya, but Kaitlyn Vieda is

108
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 7: in the mix after a big win over Misha. Take

109
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 7: unless you have anything else on the main event, I'll

110
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 7: move along to Sean Brady, who certainly passed the biggest

111
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 7: test of his UFC career to date.

112
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 8: Yeah, and really impressive given the fact that he doesn't

113
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 8: have a dozen fights to the UFC and he's facing

114
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 8: a guy er relatively early in his career in Michael Kisa,

115
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 8: who has been there and really done that, both at

116
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 8: fifty five and one hundred and seventy pounds and also

117
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 8: being a tall, lanky grappler. This was going to be

118
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 8: an interesting test for Sean Brady, and boy did he pass.

119
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 8: You know the test. I thought that he showed superior

120
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 8: grappling skills to that of Michael Kisa. Entries into takedowns

121
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 8: were phenomenal, that showed excellent timing there was taking down

122
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:10,000
Speaker 8: Michael Kissa, showing superior positioning there landing some good strikes

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 8: on the ground where I thought a little was left

124
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 8: to be desired was on the striking aspect of Sean

125
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 8: Brady's game.

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 3: I expect a little bit more striking wise.

127
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 8: I thought Michael Kiessa was winning a lot of those

128
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 8: exchanges and hurting Brady there. But an undefeated Sean Brady

129
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 8: here at five and oh is extremely impressive. Again, only

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 8: five fights into his career, on his fifth fight, he's

131
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 8: fighting a true veteran to Michael Kiessa and getting it

132
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 8: done and doing it impressively. This kid is someone to

133
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 8: watch at one hundred and seventy pounds, no question about it.

134
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, perfect UFC start five and oh, I think fourteen

135
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 7: or fifteen to oh overall, but getting in a lot

136
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 7: of valuable developmental time, not just in the gym in

137
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 7: the Northeast, but obviously in the octagon against a guy

138
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,479
Speaker 7: as credentialed as Michael Kiess and Kissa took to social

139
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 7: media said largely the goal remains unchanged, focused on becoming

140
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 7: the undisputed UFC welch await champ. But he's obviously got

141
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:06,680
Speaker 7: a hill to climb and and it's a more steep

142
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 7: gray now. With back to back losses to Vicente Luke

143
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 7: and now Sean Brady seem like maybe Brady was dealing

144
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 7: with a bloody nose early on, and I know, I

145
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 7: think in reading some of his quotes after the fact,

146
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 7: he might have a procedure to try to sort of

147
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 7: nip that in the bud. But he says sometimes even

148
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 7: when he just gets touched with an open palm and training,

149
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 7: things start to leak. So uh, hopefully that won't be

150
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,640
Speaker 7: something that rears with ugly head throughout Sean Brady's career.

151
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 7: He did call for potentially the winner of Balal Muhammad

152
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 7: and Stephen WonderBoy Thompson. But regardless, big thanks for Sean

153
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 7: Brady's getting a big fight, just had a big fight.

154
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 7: He's getting a big fight next.

155
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 8: And how about that for confidence, you know again saying

156
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 8: yes to a fight like Michael Kisa in his and

157
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 8: only his fifth fight in UFC now calling out, you know,

158
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 8: the winner of Balal Mohammad uh and Sean Uh and

159
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 8: WonderBoy sorry Stephen wonder Boy Thompson.

160
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 3: Uh.

161
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 8: It shows that he feels he is ready to make

162
00:07:56,600 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 8: a run for the title already, so look looking forward

163
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 8: to seeing how that develops.

164
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 7: By the way, betting odds released over the weekend for

165
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 7: Muhammad and Stephen wonder Boy Thompson. Did that cross your

166
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 7: wake at all? Ken Flow Tomson?

167
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 3: Minus?

168
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 5: Should I tell you?

169
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: Should?

170
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 5: I make you guess?

171
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 7: So my twin brother called me after getting a text

172
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 7: from our executive producer Cody Merrow. He said, before you

173
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 7: look at your phone, what do you think the opening

174
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 7: line is on Stephen Wonner Boy Thompson and at our

175
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 7: guy bal Muhammad, who hows to show on this channel

176
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 7: every Thursday night.

177
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:27,679
Speaker 5: It's called remember the fucking Show without.

178
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 3: The f wort?

179
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 7: So I thought Ballall would be the underdog. I thought

180
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 7: wonder Boy would be like minus one ninety. That was

181
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 7: my guess.

182
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: What do you think? I think that's about right?

183
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 8: I'd say, yeah, maybe one eighty ish for wonder Boy.

184
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 7: So he's minus two forty so a little bit more pronounced.

185
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 7: And when I pulled the masses, a lot of people

186
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 7: sort of liked wonder Boy at that number. The comeback

187
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 7: on Balall is minus or is plus one ninety? I

188
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 7: should say? But I think these are pretty simple fights

189
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 7: to handy cap what it is won Er Boy Thompson?

190
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 3: Right? I mean?

191
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:04,079
Speaker 7: Is is Muhamma going to be able to do a

192
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 7: lot of what Gilbert Burns was able to do and

193
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 7: make this his fight because again, standing and trading with

194
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 7: this guy more often than not as the recipe for disaster.

195
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 7: I thought that was interesting that came out, and Sean

196
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,559
Speaker 7: Brady certainly fact is prominently in that welterweight equation. Tyla

197
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 7: Santos with a submission win over Joanne Wood, who is

198
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 7: now zero to one under the Wood banner after dropping

199
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 7: the Calder would and then Adrian Janz I know you're

200
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 7: a fan over Davy Grant, split decision twenty nine to

201
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 7: twenty eight times two for Yanez and the other judge

202
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 7: had at thirty twenty seven for Davy Grant. This is

203
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,079
Speaker 7: obviously something you're looking to avoid when it comes to

204
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 7: the scorecards. Michael Bisping had a two to one for

205
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 7: Davy Grant. He was on the call and that is

206
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 7: not British bias. I think he is giving an objective

207
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 7: scorecard there. I thought Yanas won the fight. It was

208
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 7: a competitive fight. I like both guys. Your thoughts on

209
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,359
Speaker 7: Adrian Yanez back earlier this month.

210
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 8: Listen, I didn't think it was going to be easy

211
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 8: to finish someone like Davy Grant, and he's a guy

212
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,439
Speaker 8: that just will survive and find a way to come back,

213
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 8: and he's gonna fight to the very end. However, I

214
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 8: would disagree with our buddy Michael Bisping. I thought Yannis

215
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 8: did win the fight. I think that when you have

216
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 8: that kind of shoulder roll style, it looks like you're

217
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 8: taking shots. A lot of those shots were really skimming

218
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,199
Speaker 8: off the top of the head or you know, sliding

219
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 8: off that deflecting shoulder of Adrian Yanez. So I don't

220
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 8: think a lot of those shots were landing. To be honest,

221
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 8: Davey Grant showed a lot of heart in that fight,

222
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 8: but Yannas, I thought, was just really dominant with this striking.

223
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 3: I thought it was even closer.

224
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 8: I thought it was the thirty twenty seven for Yannis,

225
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 8: to be honest, and I thought there was one of

226
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 8: those rounds that were close. But you know, I thought

227
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 8: it really it was Yannaz who was piecing up Davy

228
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 8: Grant for the most part and you know, just leading

229
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 8: the dance pretty much start to finish. So and another

230
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 8: impressive performance for Yana is getting more experience, getting better,

231
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:03,960
Speaker 8: and he did it against a very tough Davy Grant.

232
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,040
Speaker 7: It really is hard to judge this sport to watch

233
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 7: the striking closely, and I know for those of us

234
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 7: who commentate the sport, it's even harder. I remember you

235
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 7: saying to me, God, probably ten years ago now, but

236
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 7: how hard it is when both guys land simultaneously to

237
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 7: not dip into one narrative. Right, But you're right. I

238
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:24,439
Speaker 7: did think that Yanaz was rolling pretty well with a

239
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 7: lot of those shots. And I think sometimes beauty's in

240
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 7: the eye of the beholder, and Grant throws a lot

241
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 7: of himself into those shots, and you really have to

242
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 7: watch closely as an observer, and I think sometimes as

243
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,599
Speaker 7: a fan, when there's a lot going on, drinking or

244
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 7: whatever else, it's hard to really watch strikes, and certainly

245
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 7: as a commentator when you're talking to your producers. But

246
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 7: as a fan like ken Fal, I know you're watching

247
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 7: this stuff pretty closely. And you saw what you saw

248
00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,839
Speaker 7: Rana Yaya. I mean, just go bet on Rana Yaya, right,

249
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 7: the ageless Rana Yaya gets it done over Kyung Ho

250
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 7: Kong twenty nine to twenty eight times three.

251
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, just again, another did Ronnie Yaya performance and he

252
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 8: found himself in some trouble there against the Korean fighter

253
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 8: who showed some serious toughness. But yah, yah, just too

254
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 8: good man, You know exactly what he's gonna do. He

255
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 8: still gets finds a way to get you to the ground,

256
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 8: whether he's on his back or not. Knows how to

257
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 8: turn the tables and take advantage, take that back and

258
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 8: surprise he wasn't able to get the finish from you

259
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,559
Speaker 8: know that back mount, but just dominant nonetheless superior positioning.

260
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 3: Brazilian jiu jitsu at its best right there.

261
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 7: All right, So, after an off week for the Combat

262
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 7: Sports Leader, the UFC will be back at at three

263
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 7: consecutive shows here in December, the fourth, the eleventh, and

264
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 7: the eighteenth. First up will be Rob font and Jose Aldo.

265
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 7: James Crafts coming up shortly to make some predictions. Gota

266
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,439
Speaker 7: love two guys on the main card who can flow fought.

267
00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 7: You know you gotta love that, Clay Guida and Jose Aldo.

268
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,719
Speaker 7: More on that coming up later, But a couple other

269
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 7: items I want to get to before we bring on

270
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 7: Ray Longo. He's gotten progressively less polite with his text

271
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 7: message replies when I write, hey, man like his twelve

272
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 7: thirty pm Eastern good and he'll be like yes, you know,

273
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 7: not like yes, happy Thanksgiving, looking forward.

274
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 5: To it, just yes.

275
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 7: So we'll have to catch up with with what I

276
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 7: believe will be a curmudgeonly y longo on a Monday morning,

277
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 7: I mean, the Monday after Thanksgiving week is hard for

278
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 7: a lot of people. But I want to get your

279
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 7: thoughts on a few other items before we move on. So,

280
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 7: is Lam Kashev by virtue of the way he beat

281
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 7: Dan Hooker, and because he's won like nine consecutive fights,

282
00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 7: a lot of people felt like maybe he was going

283
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 7: to be a backup for the title fight between Charles

284
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 7: Oliver and Dustin Poier, which is coming up on December eleventh,

285
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 7: or a lot of people thought maybe he'd be next

286
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 7: for the title. But it looks as though that distinction

287
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 7: belongs to Justin Gaetchee, who will await the winner of.

288
00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 5: Oliver and Porier.

289
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 7: And that means that is la Ma Kashev will put

290
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 7: his nine fight winning streak on the line against the

291
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 7: also streaking Banil Daryush. And I guess my thesis statement

292
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 7: is at lightweight, it's never enough, right. Just ask Tony

293
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 7: Ferguson how many wins you need? Fifty five to get

294
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 7: a championship opportunity. So Makashev's got a hugely hard fight

295
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 7: now in front of him in February, and if he

296
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 7: gets by this one ten in a row is going

297
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 7: to earn him a title fight. Your thoughts on Mikashevan Daryush.

298
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,439
Speaker 8: I think this is an awesome fight. I think that

299
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 8: this is gonna be a real test for both men.

300
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 8: Dar Yush is I guess you could argue the highest

301
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 8: level grappler that Mahashev has faced at this point in

302
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 8: his career. So I'm really curious to see how that

303
00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:33,720
Speaker 8: ground battle goes down. Does Dar Yush have the ground

304
00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 8: skills to nullify and perhaps, you know, go on the

305
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 8: attack against someone like Mahaschef. I think both men are

306
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 8: dangerous on the feet as well. I think mahas Chef

307
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 8: has some serious power. He's had some good fundamentals on

308
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 8: his feet. Dar Yusch has that I don't give a

309
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 8: fuck type to stand up where he'll take you know,

310
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 8: two or three to give one big bomb. He has

311
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 8: shown his toughness, his chin, his durability in previous fight.

312
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 8: I think he's got a ton of momentum and confidence

313
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 8: behind him right now, he realizes how big this fight

314
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 8: is for him, and I think all the pressure is

315
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 8: on Maha Chef. So I think Daryush is in a

316
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 8: great position here, awesome fight, and I think well placed

317
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 8: there in a main event in February.

318
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 3: Is that right? Yes?

319
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 7: I believe February twenty six, then well set up by you,

320
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 7: And that's why I wanted to get some of your

321
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 7: thoughts on it. I believe they're both managed by Ali Abdelaziz,

322
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 7: but again, a fight of that magnitude probably pretty easy

323
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 7: to get both sides to agree. I don't know if

324
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 7: there's you know, title shot language, but that has to

325
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 7: be something verbally that was presented to both sides. If

326
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 7: you're been Neil Daryush, right, I mean, I think he's

327
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 7: won six in a row. If you beat Islam, dude,

328
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 7: you're fighting for the belts as well, and what a

329
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 7: story that would be, right when you think about him

330
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 7: getting into the UFC and essentially devotes five years of

331
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 7: his life to jiu jitsu masters that craft in so

332
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 7: many words, right, and then moves on to MMA and

333
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 7: you know, had some ups and downs. So now bona

334
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 7: FIDE lightweight contenter getting Islamikashev. It's absolutely incredib well, I

335
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 7: fucking love that fight, and I'll be sitting on my

336
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 7: couch watching it like most of the rest of you,

337
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 7: all right to that end. UFC two to sixty nine

338
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 7: is less than two weeks away, and we're gonna spend

339
00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 7: most of next week's show on it, so I won't

340
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 7: go too deep today. Charles Olavera obviously broke through against

341
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 7: Michael Chandler. He is the undisputed USC lightweight champion. Dustin

342
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 7: Poorier this will be his third championship training camp of

343
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 7: twenty twenty one. Now, granted, the first two were for

344
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 7: non title fights, right, but Domina Cruz oftentimes has talked

345
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 7: about twenty sixteen, and he had three twenty five minute

346
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 7: fights TJ. Dillashaw in January, Uriah Faber in July, Cody

347
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 7: Garbrand in December. Three championship training camps inside of twelve

348
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 7: months proved to be too much. Just didn't have it

349
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 7: against Garbrand at the end of the year. And if

350
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 7: I am voicing concerns for Dustin Pourier, that is chief

351
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 7: among them. It's been a very busy year for Poorier,

352
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 7: so busy that some chail Son in I believe in others. No,

353
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 7: it wasn't Chale, but some question I think it was

354
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 7: Brett Okamoh. Actually whether or not this belt of Charles

355
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 7: Oliver's would even be on the line again in twenty

356
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 7: twenty one because Poorier needed some time off. But this

357
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 7: belt was earned in May and it'll be defended in December.

358
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 7: And I think for Dustin it's asking a lot of

359
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:17,000
Speaker 7: himself to perform at his peak for a third straight

360
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 7: time this year.

361
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 3: I think it is a lot.

362
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 8: However, I think that narrative is going to be different

363
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 8: for each and every fighter. Right It's like Dominic Cruz

364
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 8: has had some issues staying healthy throughout.

365
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 3: His career or a little bit later in his career.

366
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 8: And you know, you look at a guy like a

367
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 8: GSP and how often he defended the belt in certain

368
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 8: years and he was preparing for three sometimes for title fights.

369
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 8: I don't know if I could be completely inaccurate on that,

370
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 8: but you know, he did it often and stayed quite busy,

371
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 8: and he was training all the time.

372
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 3: The dude was a workhorse.

373
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 8: I've never seen someone be able to take on that

374
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 8: kind of training volume. However, I did see that wear

375
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 8: on GSP over time, so it is something to watch

376
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 8: for and I'm curious to see how Dustin Poier is

377
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 8: able to handle that workload over the course of these

378
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,240
Speaker 8: last twelve months. These are big fights. Takes a lot

379
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 8: out of you physically, mentally, spiritually. But Dustin Poier the Diamond.

380
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 8: They call him the Diamond for a reason. This guy

381
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 8: is as durable as they come. It seems like he

382
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 8: still gets better, more confident with each and every fight

383
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 8: he's fighting.

384
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 3: OLIVERA.

385
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 8: I think at the right time in his career, you know,

386
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,160
Speaker 8: aside from being busy this year, I think as far

387
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 8: as the skills that he's a mass, the experience that

388
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 8: he's a mass at this point, big fight experience.

389
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: He has more of that than than OLIVERA.

390
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 8: Okay, so I think this is a fascinating matchup, but

391
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 8: that could very well play a factor.

392
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 3: And I don't know what are the odds right now.

393
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 7: John Dustin's favored, albeit slightly. Well, it depends where you look,

394
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 7: but I think in the minus one sixty range. And

395
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 7: again you bring up a lot of important differences between

396
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 7: a fighter built like Dustin Poorier and a fighter built

397
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 7: like Domina Cruz. And again It's not as though those

398
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 7: poor Ye McGregor fights went very long juxtaposed against Domina

399
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 7: Cruz's previous two fights against dill Shan Favor that both

400
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 7: won twenty five minutes, and the Dillashaw fight in particular

401
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 7: was very physically taxing. So we'll see how it plays out.

402
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 7: Pourier is the favorite right now. Charles Olivera has been

403
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 7: off since May, and it all goes down to Team

404
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 7: Mobile Arena in December eleventh. Full picks from Ken Flow

405
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 7: and Jimmy Krouse coming up next Monday here on the

406
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 7: Anak and Floran podcast. Sorry, Ray Longo coming up in

407
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,400
Speaker 7: about sixty seconds, but I gotta tell you Ken Flow.

408
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 7: Every time I get ready to go wheels up for

409
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 7: a UFC Live event, I get a little anxious about

410
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,120
Speaker 7: being on all these public wi fis, credit card info,

411
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 7: my personal data. Now my bitcoin has to be protected

412
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 7: as well, and thinking about this stuff being stolen gives

413
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 7: me almost as much anxiety as showing up on fight.

414
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 7: We behind on my preparation, but thankfully now I sleep

415
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 7: like a baby because we got hooked up with nord VPN.

416
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,760

417
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 7: that I'm protected from hackers and scammers no matter where

418
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,400
Speaker 7: I go in the world. Not only am I protective,

419
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,440

00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 9: to people.

471
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 7: But of course, right like you and I love each other.

472
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 7: But I think the people listen to the podcast, they

473
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 7: might think at times that we don't know.

474
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 9: I don't think they would ever think that.

475
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 7: Uh well, sometimes people take issue with as soon as

476
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 7: as you get off the air, I take a shot,

477
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 7: and you're not here to defend yourself. And you can

478
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 7: be sure, I'm gonna do it again today.

479
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:40,480
Speaker 9: But see that's what I mean. I want you to

480
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 9: do it right. So we're trying to deliver content, John, exactly.

481
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 5: Content.

482
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 7: So how is your Thanksgiving in terms of content?

483
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 3: Uh? It was good.

484
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 9: It was really good to my sister in laws and

485
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 9: I visited a friend, Joe Spinelli bought a beautiful house

486
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 9: over in Low Hollow. Uh so we had a great

487
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 9: time over there, and yeah, it was good.

488
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 5: How about you guys, Yeah, no, all good. Ken Fler.

489
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 5: Were you in Charlotte for thanks.

490
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 8: I was, I was, you know, my wife's family was

491
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 8: here for Thanksgiving. I had a bunch of kids and

492
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 8: dogs here at the house. It was a house.

493
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 3: It was a madhouse. And I ate like a complete pig.

494
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,439
Speaker 3: But here we are.

495
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,119
Speaker 9: I'll tell you that hair is in place. Though, Buddy,

496
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 9: I can't get my hair to stay down. I don't

497
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 9: know what's happening.

498
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,040
Speaker 7: You guys would probably talk off the air about some

499
00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 7: hair products, and Kenny, I'll help.

500
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 3: You out right, thank you.

501
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 8: Hey, if you have any hair product people out there,

502
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 8: you want to sign out. Long ago, it worked every

503
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 8: time anything I mentioned the Senate to Ray, they send it.

504
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 9: Hey, John, how had it? Yeah? John? How did you?

505
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 9: How did you avoid you when I was in Florida?

506
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 9: That's what I want to know.

507
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 7: Well, you were way south of me, and the timing

508
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 7: was a little bit tricky memory search, you know. But

509
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 7: you're about forty five minutes south of me. And yeah,

510
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,320
Speaker 7: but I got your mess the day after when you

511
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 7: said lunch or dinner on me because I don't pass

512
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 7: up free meals.

513
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: You know, pretty south? Where the hell?

514
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 9: Right?

515
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 7: Where were you?

516
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 3: Cuba?

517
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:12,560
Speaker 9: Forty right? Exactly exactly, he's.

518
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 7: Away in the He's at the very end of Florida.

519
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 3: I don't get it. How much more south could he be?

520
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 9: Yeah? He told me he was close to Laudadale. That's

521
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 9: where I was.

522
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I was about I'm in I'm in West Poker ratone.

523
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,880
Speaker 7: If you want, I can give out the address too,

524
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 7: but I am. I have forty five minutes north of Miami,

525
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 7: maybe thirty minutes north of Fort Lauderdale, but no, I

526
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 7: think I don't know. I went across the state for vacation.

527
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 7: But anyway, we I I what we really need to

528
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 7: do is is the three of us, at some point

529
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 7: get together in a non podcast environment. I mean, we've

530
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 7: never sat down and broken bread, the three of us,

531
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 7: you know, not one time.

532
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 9: I'm living for that. But anyway, listen, before I even

533
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 9: get going, I want to shout out to uh, doctor

534
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:57,120
Speaker 9: Tony Ricci and his friends over at the Fights Fight

535
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 9: Science Live at Nova Southeast, and what a great so.

536
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 9: Yeah they have been Yeah, doctor Jose Antonio, doctor Talvin Silva,

537
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 9: doctor Corey Peacock. They're doing a great job. And I'm

538
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 9: one of those guys like you know, I don't want

539
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 9: too much analysis. It's like paralysis by analysis. So but

540
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 9: they really Tony's really really entrenched in the fight game.

541
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,120
Speaker 9: I worked with him for years and he really knows

542
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 9: how to transfer and explain everything over you guys have

543
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 9: to get a chance, John, you would love that facility.

544
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 9: They could test everything possible over there. It's phenomenal.

545
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 7: I am overdue to connect with Tony, especially now that

546
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 7: he's in South Florida. All right, a couple items with

547
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 7: Raymond Longo today. I don't know if you had anything

548
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 7: for us on the Kaitlyn Vieta Misha Tate main event

549
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 7: that happened a couple of weeks ago. I think Misha

550
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 7: was very accurate in terms of her own self assessment.

551
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 7: You know that she doesn't have to panic wrestle anymore, right,

552
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 7: I mean, she certainly has developed her skills, and I

553
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 7: do think she can make a run. But this was

554
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,800
Speaker 7: Kaitlyn night. I don't know if you had anything for

555
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:02,360
Speaker 7: us on that.

556
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 9: Uh did? I thought, you know, like again, you know,

557
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 9: there's people that take time off and they come back

558
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 9: and they're a little older and they don't look that good.

559
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,840
Speaker 9: I thought Misha looked good. She just ran into like

560
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 9: a bigger, stronger person who's you know, on the way up.

561
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 9: But I thought Misha had a great account of herself.

562
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 9: I really did, and I agree with her assessment. Didn't

563
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 9: look like she was gonna panic shoot, or she was

564
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 9: in a rush to get anywhere. But uh, you know,

565
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 9: I I think the moment that killed me the most

566
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 9: was after the fight when Caitlin Vieira was just crying,

567
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 9: because I really believe she probably idolized her growing up.

568
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 9: And that's a that's a really bad thing when you

569
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 9: beat the crap out of your idol you know what

570
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 9: I mean. You don't want to do it, but you

571
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 9: know it's part of the game. That that that that

572
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 9: last piece when she was crying telling me Sha tATu,

573
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 9: I'm sorry. Uh that that got to me man and

574
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,120
Speaker 9: I and I get it. I get it. I think

575
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 9: we see it a lot in sports where you know,

576
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 9: the guys up and coming guys who they idolize, even

577
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 9: in box whatever it is, and then they have to

578
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 9: go in and you know, the person they idolize is

579
00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 9: kind of on the way out and they have to,

580
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 9: you know, do what they have to do. That's what

581
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 9: I saw. But I thought, me, shit, did a great job.

582
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 9: I think she's I don't know, I like what I saw.

583
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 9: You know, is it enough to get it to the championship?

584
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 9: You know, look, she could always submit anybody, so she's

585
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 9: got that going and if she could stay healthy. I mean, look,

586
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 9: things change when you have a kid, and you know,

587
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 9: she did get pretty lumped up. And you know, I

588
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 9: sometimes you know, your priorities are different. I talk to

589
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 9: these guys as they getting older, their help their health

590
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 9: becomes their first priority.

591
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, and these.

592
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 9: Are guys that are tough. Motherfucker is coming up, man,

593
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 9: and they just say, you know what, man, enough is enough.

594
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,120
Speaker 9: It's been fifteen years, sixteen years, whatever it's been. They

595
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 9: got to just move on with their life. But I

596
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 9: thought she had a great account of herself and hats

597
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 9: off to Caitlin VR. I thought she was just classy

598
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 9: as you could be in a victory.

599
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 7: And I do think, generally speaking, and I've said it repeatedly,

600
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,920
Speaker 7: if you are a combat sports athlete and you can

601
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 7: wait to have children until either late in your career

602
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 7: or it's over, cannot recommend that enough. I know, Kenny,

603
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 7: obviously you did not have kids while you were fighting,

604
00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 7: and you and I, Kenny, both waited until we were

605
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 7: a little bit older to have kids. But like I

606
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 7: sit here right now on a Monday, I'm going to

607
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 7: Vegas to call Rob font and Jose Aldo and if

608
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 7: I had zero kids, the whole fucking show would be

609
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 7: prepared already.

610
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:28,880
Speaker 5: You know what I mean.

611
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 7: So never mind if I'm an athlete trying to get

612
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,239
Speaker 7: in sleep and three A days and everything else. And

613
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 7: you know, I know Misha is finding a good balancing act.

614
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 7: And again she's the one pushing out the babies, which

615
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 7: no male fighter can lay claim to. I'm just saying,

616
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 7: it's really hard to balance all of those things, no

617
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 7: matter your career, but especially as a fighter.

618
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 8: Can It's only hard if you want to be a

619
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 8: good parent. You don't want to be a good parent,

620
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 8: It's fine, it's not a problem.

621
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 9: I'm gonna go with another step. Obviously I've been there.

622
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:00,720
Speaker 9: But Kenny's Kenny's right, man, And I tell you that's

623
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,960
Speaker 9: the uh, He's one hundred percent right. I was. I'll

624
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,160
Speaker 9: go another route. I was lucky enough to have a

625
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 9: great life that really did everything. So when I was traveling,

626
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 9: and I was traveling a lot, I always felt great.

627
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 9: I always tried to make it up. And I look again,

628
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 9: I don't even know if I did a good job.

629
00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 9: I think I I tried it one hundred percent, was

630
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 9: aware of it, cognizant, and I tried, but Kenny's right.

631
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 9: So if you really want to be a good parent, man,

632
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 9: you got to be present. That's that's just the bottom line.

633
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 9: And uh, you know, I think there's other ways around it,

634
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 9: but I think that's where Matt's at in his life now.

635
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: Man.

636
00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,280
Speaker 9: He just wants to spend time with his kids. Man,

637
00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 9: that's part of the whole thing. And you know with this,

638
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 9: there's there's things that exist outside of fighting, right and

639
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 9: call in the fights and everything else. But you get

640
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 9: one shot at doing that family thing right, and uh,

641
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 9: you better think about it because it's it's definitely not easy.

642
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 7: And I think for some of us fathers and mothers,

643
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 7: it's self inflicted guilt.

644
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 5: Right.

645
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 7: Like my wife has never given me shit for not

646
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 7: changing a diaper, no pun intended, but I put guilt

647
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 7: on myself when I'm not meeting her halfway. Like my

648
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 7: best friend who coined the phrase yo later, Brian Montgomery

649
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 7: love him right, never changed the diaper in his life.

650
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 7: Like he's an average father. He's a pretty good father.

651
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 7: You know, if he listens to this, he's going to

652
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 7: kill me, right. But like he coaches the hockey teams,

653
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 7: he's a doting dad. But omnipresent wouldn't be the first

654
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 7: adjective that I would use. And when he goes off

655
00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 7: to Maine for a weekend, he does so free of guilt.

656
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 7: He's not putting any guilt on himself. And I know

657
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,000
Speaker 7: for me and Kenny, and I'm sort of putting this

658
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 7: on him a little bit. But I know for us,

659
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 7: when we're away, you know, we come back, we feel

660
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: this great need to contribute and perhaps overcompensate for the

661
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 7: time we've missed.

662
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 9: You know, exactly. And just just the point, John, I

663
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,520
Speaker 9: never changed the diaper either, not one.

664
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 5: In your life.

665
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 9: I maybe one isn't that I don't know.

666
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 7: So it's a little bit of a generational thing though,

667
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 7: I think Kenny right, because, yeah, no, that's true absolutely.

668
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,280
Speaker 9: I mean the first time my wife left me with

669
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 9: the kids, I cooled my one friend who had kids,

670
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 9: christ you say, d you want to go to hang out?

671
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 9: He came over. I made him change the diapers. I swear,

672
00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 9: I'm not even joking around. I was so happy to

673
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 9: come over. I said, you know how to change a diaper?

674
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 9: Because the same.

675
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 7: Thing, man, Yeah, no, I mean, when they're tiny, little

676
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 7: alien babies, that is the worst thing. But It is funny, right,

677
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 7: because I do think if you talk to a lot

678
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 7: of men born in the fifties and sixties, they didn't

679
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 7: change a lot of diapers. If you talk to men

680
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,600
Speaker 7: born in the seventies, eighties, and nineties who have become parents,

681
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:31,720
Speaker 7: I think a lot of those guys changed diapers. I

682
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 7: think it has changed a lot. I think the traditional

683
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 7: gender roles have have gone by the boards. No, you're

684
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 7: smirking at me.

685
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 9: Long ago things are things are changing in the world.

686
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 5: Chivalry is dead or no? Ray you guys?

687
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 9: Are you guys are given in? Can you hold to

688
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 9: your ground? Don't change a diaper?

689
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 3: I right this?

690
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 4: No what else ever happened?

691
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 9: You were never in the delivery room either. They have

692
00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 9: to torture you with that now, right, you know what

693
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 9: I mean? You never you never want to look at

694
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 9: that thing when the baby's coming out. You'll never be

695
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 9: the same, John Gotener, You got to keep that picture

696
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 9: of that really popping.

697
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 3: It's funny.

698
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,719
Speaker 5: I can un see it.

699
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, minded man trying to stay hard out here changing.

700
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 9: I have what about the delivery room when you get

701
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 9: that girl that's cursing out her husband, mother.

702
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 5: God, I your baby probably Oh.

703
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:34,280
Speaker 9: Yeah, I was like, I remember looking at my wife. Again,

704
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 9: listen you try that, and there I'm killing in the room.

705
00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,800
Speaker 9: I'm telling you this guy was getting slaughtered. John. You

706
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 9: know I'm on no sleep.

707
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 7: So it's yeah, well, this is not what I had

708
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 7: uh earmarks for the ray long a minute today, But

709
00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 7: a couple of things I did want to talk about

710
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:57,640
Speaker 7: Justin Montalvo oh this week Yeah right, I did my homework.

711
00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:58,640
Speaker 5: I did my research.

712
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 7: You've dropped his name twenty three times in the history

713
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 7: of the podcast, so I think we would give him

714
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 7: a shout out.

715
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:07,000
Speaker 5: He's fighting this weekend, is that right?

716
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: That's right?

717
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:13,080
Speaker 7: Bellatar, Bellatar, did you see Latour Elatur? Okay, so he's

718
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,040
Speaker 7: got a fight this weekend. What can you tell us

719
00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 7: about that?

720
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 9: Uh? Man, He's always ready to fight. He's always in

721
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 9: the gym. He's three and oh, got to I think

722
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 9: he's three and oh with three knockouts, three finishes, great hands,

723
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 9: great takedown defense. He's looking good, really really good.

724
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 7: Like you started talking about him on these airwaves when

725
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 7: he was an amateur. So I did want to give

726
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 7: Justin a little shout out there.

727
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 9: And he's been in the gym since he's fifteen, right,

728
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 9: he's one of those guys, so everybody's pulling for him.

729
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 9: He's a great kid, great great dad. Dad'll do anything

730
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 9: for him. Ernie Montaldo shout out to him, because I'll

731
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,200
Speaker 9: tell you, without him, that kid's we don't know where

732
00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 9: he is. But everything's going good now. So I'm stoked.

733
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:59,600
Speaker 9: I'm leaving Wednesday night, and I'm really happy for this

734
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 9: one fights Connecticut.

735
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 7: Okay, all right, all right, last order of business and

736
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 7: then time permitting, we'll get a prediction from you on

737
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,680
Speaker 7: Rob Fot and Jose Aldo coming up this weekend. So,

738
00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 7: Ally Quinta has seemingly retired from mixed martial arts, or

739
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 7: at least has hinted as much publicly. I apologize for

740
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 7: not crediting the interview. Did you get a chance to

741
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 7: digest any of Ali Quinta's comments about his fighting future?

742
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, no, I've talked now. Man. I think he's had enough. Man.

743
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 9: I think he was scheduled for ACL surgery December second,

744
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:42,240
Speaker 9: but he's going to go to Columbia to try to stemselves,

745
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 9: you know before. But he's just banged up, man, and

746
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 9: it's I think it just finally caught up to him,

747
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 9: even mentally. You know, because you could be banged up,

748
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,359
Speaker 9: but mentally, still being nice, said this is the first

749
00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 9: time he's he's pretty banged up. Mentally, I love the guy.

750
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 9: The guy will always be a warrior. But I I

751
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 9: don't think that's that fight was indicative of anything we've

752
00:35:04,719 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 9: seen a vlly at Quinta in the last fifteen years, Right.

753
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 8: Is that something that you saw coming a little bit

754
00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 8: maybe leading up to that fight or in that camp

755
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:19,360
Speaker 8: where you said, hey, Al's not putting forth maybe the

756
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 8: same kind of effort or his energy is off. Was

757
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 8: that something that you maybe you saw a little bit.

758
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,640
Speaker 9: Yeah, well he couldn't you know. And I but we

759
00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 9: came to the agreement, like, listen, let's try to get

760
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 9: to the fight healthy. You know how to fight, you

761
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 9: know what I mean, do what you have to do.

762
00:35:34,280 --> 00:35:36,239
Speaker 9: But there were days where you'd have to take two

763
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 9: or three days off, which in a fight camp is

764
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 9: an eternity. But then he would feel good and I

765
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,360
Speaker 9: would feel happy about that, and you know, it is

766
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,040
Speaker 9: what it is. I honestly, I mean, he's been pretty

767
00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 9: open with it. But I don't really want to take

768
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,360
Speaker 9: one iodo away from Bobby Green. Think the guy's a

769
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 9: fucking great fighter and a great person. I really like

770
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:58,000
Speaker 9: Bobby a lot, so I mean, I think I don't

771
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 9: want this talk to the ministry, did he? Because of

772
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 9: course Bobby Green wasn't good. I would have you know,

773
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 9: would have been you know, Bobby Green was part of

774
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,960
Speaker 9: the problem. He's very good, right, and he was very

775
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 9: accurate and fast.

776
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 7: And you're right, this fight was the outlier in ally

777
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 7: A Quintin's career, without a doubt. And if you're talking

778
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:21,080
Speaker 7: about his legacy, right, I would just point to three things. Okay,

779
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,080
Speaker 7: The Ultimate Fighter Live came off The Ultimate Fighter Live

780
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,400
Speaker 7: in twenty twelve. Obviously, that was the one season that

781
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 7: I work, so I feel a special bond to those athletes.

782
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 7: I Quinta could not even walk to the octagon barely

783
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 7: when he fought Michael Kiessa in that final fight. It

784
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,040
Speaker 7: was at the end of thirteen weeks. I give him

785
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 7: a lot of credit for even fighting that night. Jorge

786
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:43,840
Speaker 7: mosfeedal Win in Virginia when he said to the crowd,

787
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 7: are you guys booing me?

788
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 3: Fuck you?

789
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:45,879
Speaker 9: Right?

790
00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 7: I mean, probably the greatest story, one of the top

791
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 7: three post fight interviews that I've ever been involved with.

792
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,759
Speaker 7: And then of course fighting Habibnrmago Mattot for twenty five

793
00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 7: minutes on twenty four hours notice, right, and putting a

794
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 7: pretty good showing of him sell forward that night. So

795
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 7: I'll always think of those three things with Ali Quinday's

796
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:07,520
Speaker 7: he's a lost man. He's a character, there's no doubt.

797
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, And I think those three things definitely define him

798
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 9: for various reasons. But how long ago was that that ultimate.

799
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,280
Speaker 5: Fight to show twenty twelve?

800
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, so twenty twelve and he couldn't walk, so really

801
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 9: things didn't get a lot better even after that, and

802
00:37:22,440 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 9: he had great career, but he had to struggle through

803
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:28,479
Speaker 9: a lot of shit. He's a tough motherfucker. And I'd

804
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 9: watched that guy rehab every day, like doing the same shit. Yeah,

805
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 9: I think if I if I was his dillager with

806
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 9: my rehab, I'd be walking perfect, you know what I mean,

807
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 9: Like it's he just put the time in just on

808
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 9: reheb alone, just yeah, you know, watched him with the

809
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 9: bands every day and was always going once or twice

810
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 9: a week to Staten Island to fight science lived. No,

811
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,640
Speaker 9: that's not whatever, whatever a place in Staton A. Holy Trump.

812
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,160
Speaker 9: I'm drawing a blanket great.

813
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 7: Guyn't think hopefully he doesn't listen to the show, but

814
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 7: he probably does.

815
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 9: I gotta start, I gotta I gotta get on that

816
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 9: alpha brain as quick as you need.

817
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,200
Speaker 5: You need to start smoking weed. You don't understand, that's

818
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 5: what happened.

819
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 9: I think I started smoking weed. Can't remember a thing?

820
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 9: Are you kidding? That made it worse.

821
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,600
Speaker 7: I have to stop, hey, before I let you go.

822
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 7: I'm really excited to get back to work this weekend.

823
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 7: And it's Rob Font and Jose Aldo, and you know

824
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 7: this is a special fight. Obviously, we got a Massachusetts

825
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 7: kid on one side trying to potentially secure his first

826
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,720
Speaker 7: UFC title shot, and then the King of Rio de Janeiro,

827
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:42,120
Speaker 7: Jose Aldo, who is probably the most respected fighter by

828
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 7: his fellow fighters on the roster. Right now, Font is

829
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 7: a slight favorite minus one fifty. Ray, What do you

830
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,720
Speaker 7: have for us on the main event in the division

831
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 7: in which you train and coach the champion.

832
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 9: And that's a five round the five rounds if needed? Yeah,

833
00:38:58,160 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 9: I think that's gonna that's the benefit to Font is

834
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 9: that far? I think in the three round fight, Jose

835
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,799
Speaker 9: Aldo has been looking phenomenal, you know what I mean?

836
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:10,879
Speaker 9: But he's got another two rounds to finish. Uh, I'm

837
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 9: gonna go with fun. He's got great boxing. I think

838
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 9: Jose Aldo also has great boxing. He's gonna be a

839
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 9: great fight. I just hope that ft. It's almost like

840
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,960
Speaker 9: the Misha Tate Caitlyn Vieira. I'm sure he idolized Jose Aldo.

841
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:27,560
Speaker 9: Now he's got to face this guy. He's still good. Uh,

842
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:29,759
Speaker 9: he's gonna have to put all that stuff past him

843
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:31,640
Speaker 9: and just go in what he does best, which is,

844
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 9: you know, put on a boxing clinic against the guy

845
00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 9: that Kubak. So that's gonna be a great fight. I

846
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 9: think the five rounds fave is Font. I'm gonna I'm

847
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:40,919
Speaker 9: gonna go with Font in this fight.

848
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 7: Look at long Ago ready to go on a Monday,

849
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,400
Speaker 7: And you're absolutely right. There is a comparison to be

850
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 7: drawn between the VI eight to Tate.

851
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:47,879
Speaker 1: Yeah.

852
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 5: I don't know if.

853
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:54,080
Speaker 7: If Font put Alto on that pedestal per se, but yeah,

854
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:55,959
Speaker 7: I mean this is the fight. This is the guy,

855
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:58,439
Speaker 7: the famous guy. You gotta get it past. You're gonna

856
00:39:58,440 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 7: become a world champion. Why did not Quin the podcast?

Speaker 7: Jew on the planet, So I'm going to the holiday season.

Speaker 9: We're old gods people under the sun. Buddy, don't break

901
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 9: it down to the Jewish Catholic. You're making a mistake.

00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,160
Speaker 7: Oh, I'm just I didn't grow up with like Christmas

903
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,320

00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:50,799
Speaker 7: Cody Merrow.

933
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:51,680
Speaker 5: It's good to see a kid.

934
00:43:51,719 --> 00:43:56,439
Speaker 6: What's up Bone, how you doing good? Good to the moon, baby,

935
00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:57,600
Speaker 6: Let's go by the day.

936
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:01,879
Speaker 5: Let's go look at that hat, old bitcoin hat?

937
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:02,680
Speaker 3: Is that what that is?

938
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:05,040
Speaker 6: I've had this hat before, I had this point that's

939
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 6: had when bitcoin is like one thousand dollars scoin instead

940
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 6: of his hat.

941
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, moving on the pronunciation.

942
00:44:11,800 --> 00:44:14,440
Speaker 7: He had, all right, So so this fighter right once

943
00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,399
Speaker 7: walked out to Baby Shark. He was to fight Matt

944
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:19,960
Speaker 7: Brown this weekend, but Matt Brown got COVID nineteen and

945
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 7: is not competing. So as of now, this man doesn't

946
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 7: have an opponent, but he does have a surname that

947
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 7: is mispronounced by a lot of people. So Cody Merrill,

948
00:44:29,480 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 7: of whom are we speaking That is Brian Barberina, Brian Barberina.

949
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 10: All right, let's see Brian Barberina. Brian Barberina, Brian Barberna. Yeah,

950
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 10: Brian Barbarna.

951
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 7: Not all athletes are as good as sport as Brian

952
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 7: Barberina Ken flow. Sometimes when we have the athletes and

953
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,880
Speaker 7: that's a win Cody, excellent job, when we have the

954
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:02,440
Speaker 7: athlete slowed down out in their names, sometimes it can

955
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 7: make the process more confusing. I've talked at length about

956
00:45:05,680 --> 00:45:08,320
Speaker 7: this with mm A junkies John Morgan. But in this instance,

957
00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 7: when he slows it down, you clearly hear it is

958
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 7: Barbarina and not Barbarina as he has been called for

959
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,800
Speaker 7: much of his his UFC career.

960
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,040
Speaker 3: So right there, and I like that they're not going

961
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 3: to do the breakdown.

962
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:24,480
Speaker 8: He'd be like, if I'm I am Kenny Florian.

963
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,280
Speaker 3: You know I'm Kenny Florian, it's totally different.

964
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, your name can really and and like d C right,

965
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 7: we call him Cormier, but if you listen to his file, uh,

966
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:37,920
Speaker 7: it's like Cormier. Yikes. All right, we got a big

967
00:45:37,960 --> 00:45:40,879
Speaker 7: show coming up this weekend. Fans are excited, obviously after

968
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 7: the UFC was dark last Saturday. It is UFC Fight Night,

969
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:46,480
Speaker 7: font versus Aldo. Let's get to the main event challenge.

970
00:45:46,840 --> 00:45:58,120
Speaker 1: It's the main event challenge. Everything will do win the

971

Speaker 1: main event Challenge with John Hennick and Kenny Florian podcast.

972
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,320
Speaker 7: Oh there he is a event challenge back by popular

973
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 7: demand at the James Krause on social media, uf S

975
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 7: How are you.

976
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 4: I'm good man, just getting off the mats. Just got

977
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 4: beat up for twenty five minutes straight, and you know

978
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 4: that's how it goes sometimes.

979
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 7: So gro practice is in the can and now we're

980
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,320
Speaker 7: going to get this any Florian podcast in the can.

981
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:30,919
Speaker 7: Quick update on how you guys did again, Ever since

982
00:46:31,000 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 7: Kraus joined the show, you've both been in the black

983
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 7: every single week. So Kenny did win the week, albeit slightly.

984
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,880
Speaker 7: James Krause, you were above five hundred as well, plus

985
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 7: two hundred and sixty dollars you missed on Kisa and Mishchatippa.

986
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 7: You did say you would pass on betting Michael Kisa,

987
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,319
Speaker 7: so shouldn't really dock you there. But a good week

988
00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 7: for both of you, nonetheless, and we will begin our

989
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,360
Speaker 7: selections for this weekend. Middleweight Brendan Allen minus three sixty

990
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 7: five the favorite here as he looks to move to

991
00:46:57,480 --> 00:47:00,439
Speaker 7: six and one in the UFC against Chris Curtis Curtis

992
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 7: James plus two eighty making the quick turn after that

993
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:06,240
Speaker 7: big knockout of Phil Hawes earlier this month.

994
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 5: How do you see this one playing out?

995
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:07,919
Speaker 9: Brother?

996
00:47:09,080 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 4: I gotta tell you, guys, I'm a I'm a big

997
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:16,320
Speaker 4: I'm a big Brendan Allen fan, and uh, I feel

998
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 4: like his last fight against Toriano Poona was his coming

999
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: out party, you know, Like I thought, I thought that

1000
00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:24,759
Speaker 4: fight was gonna give him some big problems. I really did.

1001
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:26,799
Speaker 4: And I'm a fan of both of those guys. And

1002
00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:28,360
Speaker 4: I'll be honest with you, I thought that fight was

1003
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 4: gonna give Brendan some problems, and uh, man, I was wrong.

1004
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,839
Speaker 4: He looked incredible. Uh you know, I know a couple

1005
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 4: of people were like questioning his his uh chin after

1006
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 4: the Strickland fight, and man, he took some big shots

1007
00:47:41,400 --> 00:47:44,200
Speaker 4: from Puna. Really answered all the questions that we had

1008
00:47:44,239 --> 00:47:48,839
Speaker 4: about him in my opinion, right, And uh, I I

1009
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 4: have to lean Brendan Allen on this, Like I think

1010
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 4: he's gonna finish here. I can see a submission. It

1011
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,080
Speaker 4: depends on what he decides to do. If he strikes,

1012
00:47:57,080 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 4: I could definitely see it going the distance. But uh,

1013
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 4: if decide to grapple, I think he'll finish Curtis on

1014
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 4: the ground. But you know, obviously Curtis has got some power.

1015
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 4: But I think Brandon's overall game, he's I think he's

1016
00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 4: better on the ground, he's better striking. I think he's

1017
00:48:13,560 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 4: got a more complete game, more ways to win the fight.

1018
00:48:16,080 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 4: And the only way I see Curtis winning is if

1019
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 4: he knocks him out. Allen showed his durability in the

1020
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 4: last fight. I just don't see it happening. His volume's

1021
00:48:24,640 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 4: a little too low for me. I really like Brendan

1022
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 4: Allen in this fight a lot.

1023
00:48:28,280 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 5: I think you set it up well.

1024
00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 7: I have a lot of similar thoughts when it comes

1025
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 7: to Brendan Allen and that match up with Poona. Obviously,

1026
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:35,399
Speaker 7: because a lot of us here on this show, thank

1027
00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 7: Khylia Poonahle Soriano. Brendan Allen, Kenny. I don't know if

1028
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 7: he's number seventeen in the world, but he's certainly on

1029
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 7: the cusp of the top fifteen. He's not ranked right now.

1030
00:48:44,600 --> 00:48:46,840
Speaker 7: How do you see him handling this Chris Curtis challenge

1031
00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 7: this weekend?

1032
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 8: Yeah, listen, I think Chris Curtis showed that he can't

1033
00:48:50,320 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 8: be dangerous. Obviously hits very hard. But I agree with

1034
00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 8: a lot of what James said. I think it was

1035
00:48:55,280 --> 00:48:58,840
Speaker 8: pretty spot on with everything. I think that Chris doesn't

1036
00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 8: throw enough, he doesn't put together consistent combinations to be

1037
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 8: that much of a threat from what we've seen. Anyway,

1038
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,160
Speaker 8: Brennan Allen, you look at his last fight, the way

1039
00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 8: he put it all together. This is a guy who's

1040
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 8: now really feeling himself. He understands his weapons, he knows

1041
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,959
Speaker 8: what to use, when to use it. It's all coming

1042
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:19,320
Speaker 8: together at the right time, and I think that potential

1043
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 8: that we saw early on is now kind of being

1044
00:49:22,800 --> 00:49:23,520
Speaker 8: realized here.

1045
00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 3: Brendan Allen should win that.

1046
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 7: Fight, and he's even learned in some wins against Kyle Daccas,

1047
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,520
Speaker 7: maybe got tested more than he thought he would that night.

1048
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 7: So a lot of people here bullish on Brendan Allen.

1049
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,760
Speaker 7: Will see how it goes for him against Chris Curtis

1050
00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:39,120
Speaker 7: all right, also on the main card. About that got

1051
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 7: a two month delay, initially scheduled for October second, fourteen

1052
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 7: versus thirteen In the light heavyweight division, Jimmy Cruton minus

1053
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,680
Speaker 7: one to eighty and Jamal Hill plus one fifty five.

1054
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:51,040
Speaker 7: So James Crude is back for the first time since

1055
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,239
Speaker 7: that foot drop incident against Anthony Smith at UFC two

1056
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 7: to sixty one in April, still just twenty five years

1057
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:58,320
Speaker 7: old and obviously has shown a lot of promise.

1058
00:49:58,360 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 5: He's favored here against Jamal Hill.

1059
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, yeah, I listen. I like Jimmy Crude a lot.

1060
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 4: There's a couple of things that scare me in this matchup.

1061
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 4: I feel like as the fight progresses, I like Crew

1062
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 4: more and more. But Dude, Jamal Hill is an animal

1063
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:16,480
Speaker 4: for for around a round and a half, and I'm

1064
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 4: not saying he's bad after that, but like, his best

1065
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,760
Speaker 4: work is done inside the first five minutes in my opinion,

1066
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 4: And uh, if Krewt smart fights a smart fight, I

1067
00:50:26,120 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 4: think he's gonna I think he's gonna take this fight

1068
00:50:28,719 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 4: to the ground. And Uh, if I'm Jimmy krup or

1069
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,960
Speaker 4: if I'm Jimmy Cruch's coach, I say, hey, listen, let's

1070
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,640
Speaker 4: go out. Let's get ahold of his body. Put him

1071
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,680
Speaker 4: on the fence in a round one, really settle him

1072
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 4: into the fight. And uh, take that open matt explosive

1073
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: striking away a little bit. Just take the danger factor

1074
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:44,919
Speaker 4: down right, because as the fight plays out, the danger

1075
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,759
Speaker 4: factor will get less and less on the Jamal Hill

1076
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:50,160
Speaker 4: side to where Crewe is by far the superior grappler,

1077
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 4: superior wrestler. But at range, Hill can knock anybody out,

1078
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 4: you know, so uh, I have to lean Jimmy Crue.

1079
00:50:58,400 --> 00:50:59,839
Speaker 4: I think he's got more ways to win this fight.

1080
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 4: Sometimes his volume is a little low for my liking,

1081
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 4: and sometimes he uh. I don't want to say he

1082
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 4: doesn't fight smart, but sometimes it takes him a minute

1083
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,479
Speaker 4: to kick in, like he has to get hit first.

1084
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:13,319
Speaker 4: Sometimes I don't like that. In this fight, I don't

1085
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:15,759
Speaker 4: like that ball. I am gonna take Jimmy Crude in

1086
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 4: this In this fight, I think he is gonna get

1087
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,360
Speaker 4: it done. I think he's gonna fight smart. And I

1088
00:51:20,640 --> 00:51:22,280
Speaker 4: don't know if I see this from going the distance

1089
00:51:22,360 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 4: or not. I can see I can see a knockout

1090
00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 4: by Hill in round one or submission by Crewe and

1091
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,760
Speaker 4: in the later rounds. But I am going to take Jimmy.

1092
00:51:29,560 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 5: Crut in this fight, all right.

1093
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,680
Speaker 7: James Krause likes Jimmy Crue. Jamal Hill can flow, thirty

1094
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:36,800
Speaker 7: years old, has also shown a lot of promise in

1095
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,920
Speaker 7: his own right and showed a lot of toughness in

1096
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,040
Speaker 7: not tapping out against Paul Craig. Some valuable experience game

1097
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 7: that night as well. Your thoughts on Hill and Crude

1098
00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 7: you here big fight at two oh.

1099
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 8: Five, listen to another great breakdown by James. I think

1100
00:51:47,920 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 8: that you know, for Jamal, he's going to be very

1101
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:53,480
Speaker 8: dangerous on the feet, and he's going to be very

1102
00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:56,800
Speaker 8: dangerous early on. You know, his length, his ability to

1103
00:51:56,840 --> 00:52:01,040
Speaker 8: put together good combination sharp strikes, accurate strikes might be

1104
00:52:01,120 --> 00:52:05,520
Speaker 8: a problem for Jimmy, who sometimes makes it a tough

1105
00:52:05,600 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 8: man battle out there at times. Anyway, early earlier in

1106
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 8: his career we saw that. So he's got to be

1107
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:14,399
Speaker 8: careful just getting into trading battles with someone like Hill,

1108
00:52:14,520 --> 00:52:17,799
Speaker 8: otherwise it could be over quickly. Jimmy is a sharp

1109
00:52:17,880 --> 00:52:21,640
Speaker 8: striker himself, but he has to make sure that he's

1110
00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:27,080
Speaker 8: staying self, staying staying defensively sound himself throughout those exchanges.

1111
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 8: But like James said, the easiest path to victory here

1112
00:52:31,280 --> 00:52:34,359
Speaker 8: is via the takedown. Get Jamal to the ground where

1113
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 8: he can you know, land some ground and pound from

1114
00:52:37,239 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 8: superior positioning and possibly lock up a submission. You know,

1115
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 8: that's where we saw Hill Falter in his last fight.

1116
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 8: Even though he was on top. Craig, of course phenomenal

1117
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 8: from his guard, was attacking NonStop. But I think that Jimmy,

1118
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,359
Speaker 8: if he does get on top, get him to the mat,

1119
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:59,800
Speaker 8: he'll have a you know, a much better advantage throughout

1120
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 8: the fight if he's able to do that consistently round

1121
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 8: after round.

1122
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 7: So I like Jimmy krut here as well. All right,

1123
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:08,320
Speaker 7: big fight, excited to call it. Next one also fairly

1124
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 7: lodge at lightweight, forty one year old Leonardo Santos competing

1125
00:53:12,080 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 7: for the second time in a calendar year, for the

1126
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 7: first time since twenty fifteen.

1127
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,120
Speaker 5: James, you know this guy well.

1128
00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,320
Speaker 7: Obviously he was knocked out by your guy, Grant Dawson

1129
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,839
Speaker 7: in March, and remarkably that was his first UFC loss. Here,

1130
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 7: he's a minus one ninety five favorite against the still

1131
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 7: not yet forty Clay Guida. What do you think, James,

1132
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 7: who wins Guida or Santos.

1133
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,120
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest with you, this one scares me

1134
00:53:34,200 --> 00:53:38,319
Speaker 4: a little bit. I mean, all the indicators would would

1135
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 4: point to Santos winning this fight, right, Like his takedown

1136
00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 4: defense is extremely underrated and still really good. You know,

1137
00:53:47,719 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 4: his takedown defense. If Dawston can't get you down, you

1138
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,040
Speaker 4: know what I mean, Like Grant got him down at it.

1139
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:53,920
Speaker 4: It took him, I think, you know, twelve and a

1140
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,600
Speaker 4: half minutes or whatever to get him down. Man, Dawson

1141
00:53:56,640 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 4: can wrestle, and I know it's a little different, but

1142
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 4: I could see Gwea just like outworking him out, voluming,

1143
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 4: voluming him. And uh, I do think Santos is gonna

1144
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:13,239
Speaker 4: win this fight, but but he's he's getting older, his

1145
00:54:13,440 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 4: volume is starting to drop a little bit, his cardio

1146
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:18,240
Speaker 4: isn't once what it was. I don't see Gueda getting

1147
00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 4: him down, but I could just see, like you know

1148
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 4: how you have that little uh. And I don't mean

1149
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:26,480
Speaker 4: any disrespect to to Clay's just the analogy that came

1150
00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:28,120
Speaker 4: up to me that you know, the little tuaa that's

1151
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 4: like this in and out like I could see Clay.

1152
00:54:31,520 --> 00:54:33,800
Speaker 4: You know, he's one fights doing that before. And I

1153
00:54:34,160 --> 00:54:36,280
Speaker 4: love Clay by the way, Like it's not any disrespect

1154
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,560
Speaker 4: to him, of course I could see. I could see

1155
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:42,280
Speaker 4: him in and out, Uh, you know, take down, back up, takedown,

1156
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 4: back up, just out working Santos. I could see that happening.

1157
00:54:46,880 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 4: I like Santos's power, I like his takedown the fence,

1158
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:55,800
Speaker 4: I like his submission danger. Uh. I don't like his volume.

1159
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 4: I don't like the the age, even though I'm sure

1160
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 4: they're probably similar. Clay he does not fight like he's

1161
00:55:01,239 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 4: as his age. Uh. And and and I'm gonna I'm

1162
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:09,879
Speaker 4: gonna lean Santos, but I don't, I'm not. I don't.

1163
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:11,480
Speaker 4: I don't feel great about it, you know what I mean? Like,

1164
00:55:11,520 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 4: I'm not like I could see, you know, just picking

1165
00:55:13,800 --> 00:55:16,279
Speaker 4: at him and scoring points and you know, doing what

1166
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:16,879
Speaker 4: Clay does?

1167
00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:17,320
Speaker 2: You know?

1168
00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 4: But I I am gonna take Santos here.

1169
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:23,080
Speaker 7: The question is, will I be dropping your chihuahua analogy

1170
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 7: on live Television's.

1171
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 8: Got to be ready, Bloody Elbow dot Com is gonna

1172
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 8: be like James Krause calls Clay and are you ready

1173
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:32,320
Speaker 8: for that?

1174
00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 3: Are you ready for that title?

1175
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 9: James?

1176
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 4: No, Clay knows better. I'll text him and tell him mother,

1177
00:55:38,440 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 4: I love. He's been so many people like that, you

1178
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:42,719
Speaker 4: know what I mean? Like I didn't mean it in

1179
00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 4: a obviously, but dude, how many how many people? Has

1180
00:55:45,640 --> 00:55:46,399
Speaker 4: he done that too? Though?

1181
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 7: I think it's a perfect analogy, and that's why I'm

1182
00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:50,840
Speaker 7: probably gonna have no choice but to use it on

1183
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 7: the air, I think. All right, and we have so

1184
00:55:54,200 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 7: much love for Clay on this broadcast, despite the fact

1185
00:55:57,160 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 7: that he is immortalized getting choked nearly on cop right

1186
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:03,080
Speaker 7: behind him. All right, little history on this fight because

1187
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 7: it's interesting for me and Ken Flow. We called Santos's

1188
00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:09,800
Speaker 7: UFC debut together in Fort Deleasa in twenty thirteen. You

1189
00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:11,680
Speaker 7: got the history with Claig Guita. You fought him in

1190
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:13,680
Speaker 7: two thousand and nine. It was UFC one oh seven.

1191
00:56:13,960 --> 00:56:17,279
Speaker 7: Absolutely destroyed him, as of course, is immortalized on the

1192
00:56:17,320 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 7: wall behind you. But Guida's fought twenty one times in

1193
00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 7: the UFC since you fought him. Thirty second UFC appearance

1194
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,439
Speaker 7: for Claiy Guita, who turns forty four days after the fight.

1195
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 7: Hattie handicap his chances here against Leonardo Santos.

1196
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 8: Ken Flow, Yeah, this is a tough one to break down, James,

1197
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 8: I agree. You know, Leonardo Santos was like one of

1198
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 8: the guys that I really looked up to in the

1199
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 8: jiu jitsu world for a long time. Was one of

1200
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 8: the guys who brought a lot of popularity to the

1201
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 8: Butterfly Guard back in the day. Just one of the

1202
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 8: Nobu Unyal black belt legends for sure, and now has

1203
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 8: had success here in the UFC as well and made

1204
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 8: great strides with his striking, you know, since we called

1205
00:56:55,800 --> 00:57:00,200
Speaker 8: his debut, and Clay is an absolute savage and a

1206
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:03,200
Speaker 8: guy who if you're not able to get his rhythm,

1207
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:05,120
Speaker 8: he's gonna give you a problem.

1208
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:05,359
Speaker 3: Man.

1209
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 8: He moves weird, he's unorthodox, He'll hit you from weird angles.

1210
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,160
Speaker 8: You know, He'll keep you guessing with his takedowns and

1211
00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:15,839
Speaker 8: things like that. And his work rate is his durability

1212
00:57:15,960 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 8: is second to none. So this is a very difficult fight.

1213
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,240
Speaker 8: Leonardo Santos. We see him fade sometimes. You know, he

1214
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,560
Speaker 8: can go from landing the sickest combinations and having the

1215
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,760
Speaker 8: best round to looking lost in the next round and

1216
00:57:30,960 --> 00:57:33,560
Speaker 8: kind of out of it and not focused. So he's

1217
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 8: gonna have to be extremely focused because what we do

1218
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,080
Speaker 8: know is that Clay Gweda is gonna be in his

1219
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:42,560
Speaker 8: face for every second of every round. And you know what,

1220
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:45,480
Speaker 8: I kind of like the underdog here. I think Leonardo

1221
00:57:45,600 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 8: Santos probably has more ways to win. However, I think

1222
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,959
Speaker 8: Claig Gweda is the more consistent guy, and I'm gonna

1223
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 8: go with Clay here for the upset.

1224
00:57:54,720 --> 00:57:56,720
Speaker 7: Just like a little fucking chihuaa right barking in your

1225
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 7: face all night, you just can't get away exactly.

1226
00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:01,520
Speaker 3: And I thought he.

1227
00:58:01,640 --> 00:58:04,720
Speaker 8: Wanted that last fight against Mark Matts and I took close,

1228
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:07,280
Speaker 8: but from being honest, I thought he beat Matts and

1229
00:58:07,400 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 8: so you know he's he's had some tough decisions go

1230
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 8: the other way.

1231
00:58:10,960 --> 00:58:13,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, all right, comine event. What a matchup it is

1232
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,280
Speaker 7: at lightweight. Raphael Phazibe minus one twenty. Brad Reddell is

1233
00:58:17,360 --> 00:58:20,400
Speaker 7: the even money underdog. We'll take the round and the

1234
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 7: method of victory fellas if you do have it. So

1235
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 7: Fhaziva has won four in a row since he got

1236
00:58:24,560 --> 00:58:28,240
Speaker 7: knocked out in his UFC debut by Maga bed Mustafaiev.

1237
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 7: Last win certainly tested against Bobby Green. That was UFC

1238
00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,439
Speaker 7: two sixty five in August, and he is a slight

1239
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,880
Speaker 7: favorite here against the man Brad Riddell James Krausudi Hip.

1240
00:58:38,880 --> 00:58:43,560
Speaker 4: This is another tough one. I will say this. The

1241
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 4: player that I like here is the over I love

1242
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 4: the over here. Both these guys are extremely durable. Uh.

1243
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 4: What I see happening is I think Fazev is gonna

1244
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 4: win a very close decision.

1245
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 6: Uh.

1246
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 4: For me to play, the play is gonna be is

1247
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 4: the over though, and I don't see Physique finishing Riddell.

1248
00:59:04,200 --> 00:59:07,560
Speaker 4: I could potentially see Redell finishing Physique by knockout, but

1249
00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 4: Redell has just shown, Oh my good, like, how durable

1250
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:12,640
Speaker 4: is this guy? Like, I mean, he's this extremely durable.

1251
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 4: I do think Bazzib is the cleaner, better kickboxer though,

1252
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:20,240
Speaker 4: and uh, I don't think he's gonna get knocked out here.

1253
00:59:21,240 --> 00:59:22,960
Speaker 4: But but for me, the play is the over on

1254
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 4: this one.

1255
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 6: Uh.

1256
00:59:23,920 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 4: And then maybe sprinkle Phayzie by decision.

1257
00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 6: Uh.

1258
00:59:27,560 --> 00:59:30,040
Speaker 4: And and if you guys are feeling froggy, Reddell by

1259
00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 4: knockout a little play there too, you know. Uh yeah,

1260
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,400
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna go with Physie by decision. I think

1261
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 4: it's a close fight. But for me, the play is

1262
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:41,040
Speaker 4: the over or or even the fight goes the distance

1263
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 4: if if the odds should be.

1264
00:59:42,160 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 5: Better on that right.

1265
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 7: And again, a lot of those propositions round props are

1266
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 7: out now, they will all be out later in.

1267
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 5: The week of that I can assure you.

1268
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:50,920
Speaker 4: And that would be one of my biggest plays of

1269
00:59:50,960 --> 00:59:52,880
Speaker 4: the week. I don't know the odds yet, so the

1270
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,240
Speaker 4: props usually come out a couple of days before the fights.

1271
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 4: But at face value, the over in that fight, I

1272
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:00,000
Speaker 4: gotta think that it's gonna be low because they're both

1273
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,920
Speaker 4: heavy hitters, right like, so I gotta think it's going

1274
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 4: to be fairly low. Good odds for us, But I

1275
01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 4: really like the over in that in that fight. Not

1276
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:09,120
Speaker 4: only do I like the over, I like it to

1277
01:00:09,160 --> 01:00:09,800
Speaker 4: go the distance.

1278
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 7: All right, no total yet as of this taping, but uh,

1279
01:00:14,320 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 7: that will be updated on our social channels later in

1280
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 7: the week. Kenny Brad Riddell has had to deal with

1281
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,120
Speaker 7: a lot, as has been the case for a lot

1282
01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,560
Speaker 7: of our athletes based in Australia and New Zealand. He's

1283
01:00:24,680 --> 01:00:29,560
Speaker 7: been displaced from his child extensively. Right, Dan Hooker has

1284
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 7: gotten a lot of that shine, but Riddell and others

1285
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,720
Speaker 7: have had to deal with hell.

1286
01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:33,160
Speaker 3: You know.

1287
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 7: He's had fights go away at the last minute, right

1288
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,240
Speaker 7: the Greater Gillespie fight, but yet still is performing. He's

1289
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 7: four and on the UFC and rank now after dominating

1290
01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 7: Drew Dover. That was UFC two sixty three back in June,

1291
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:47,680
Speaker 7: your thoughts on Riddell here in a huge spot against

1292
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,120
Speaker 7: Rafael Phazi, Yeah, and lost.

1293
01:00:49,920 --> 01:00:52,600
Speaker 8: To teammate, you know, as did all those guys over

1294
01:00:52,600 --> 01:00:55,520
Speaker 8: at City Kickboxing. So yeah, he isn't a tough spot,

1295
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 8: and I think that's something to consider. Something else to consider, however,

1296
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 8: is the fact that Brad Redell was the Multai coach

1297
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 8: for Rafael Physiva. Apparently at one point they trained a

1298
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 8: lot in Thailand. I wonder if there's a big brother

1299
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:15,040
Speaker 8: type equation there where, you know, if you're fighting a

1300
01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 8: coach or a guy who has been a mentor, where

1301
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 8: you can be kind of playing second fiddle out there.

1302
01:01:20,320 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 3: So I wonder if that's gonna be a factor.

1303
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:28,000
Speaker 8: I think that both men are phenomenal strikers, and because

1304
01:01:28,040 --> 01:01:30,439
Speaker 8: it's so close here, not that I gain any extra

1305
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:32,120
Speaker 8: points necessarily, I don't think.

1306
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 3: But I kind of like the underdog here. I like Riddell.

1307
01:01:36,320 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 8: I think physique is a big time problem, but so

1308
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 8: is Riddell. He's as durable as they come. I don't

1309
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 8: think grappling is going to be you know, thrown into

1310
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:46,919
Speaker 8: the equation here. These guys are standing on their feet

1311
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,720
Speaker 8: and going to see who the better striker is. I

1312
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,360
Speaker 8: could see it going either way, but I'm just gonna

1313
01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 8: lean with the underdog here just because of the odds.

1314
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 7: Redell by decision, Ken Flow, yes, sir, all right, all right,

1315
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 7: main event. I don't pre screen these, so I have

1316
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 7: no idea on which side these fellas fall. Rob Font

1317
01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:08,640
Speaker 7: midas one fifty Jose Aldo plus one point thirty. So

1318
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 7: Aldo gets the blue corner here based upon ranking, but

1319
01:02:11,520 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 7: of course in most equations he is the A side

1320
01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 7: not favorite here though, James rob Font gets that distinction

1321
01:02:17,320 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 7: having won his last four and all of them quality wins.

1322
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 7: Right Sergio Pettis, Ricky Simone, Marlon but Ice, and then

1323
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 7: Cody Garbrant in a five round main event in May

1324
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:28,800
Speaker 7: twenty second that served to set up this one. Font

1325
01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:32,200
Speaker 7: the favorite, Aldo the dog. James Krouse. On which side

1326
01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 7: do you fall?

1327
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:33,000
Speaker 3: Brother?

1328
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:37,520
Speaker 4: Another tough one. If this was three rounds, I would

1329
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,439
Speaker 4: go I would go Al though, but because it's five,

1330
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go Font, That's what.

1331
01:02:43,360 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, interesting, I'm gonna go find This is a tough one.

1332
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:47,600
Speaker 9: Man.

1333
01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 4: I don't feel like Dodd, I don't feel like dwads

1334
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 4: are right on this one. I really don't. Uh man, although,

1335
01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,920
Speaker 4: god man, he's just like, look at who's There's not

1336
01:02:56,960 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 4: a lot of guys that have beat him, you know

1337
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:00,920
Speaker 4: what I mean. Like he's beat by some of the

1338
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,480
Speaker 4: elite of the of the division, you know, and it's

1339
01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:06,800
Speaker 4: just it's really tough to bet against a guy like him.

1340
01:03:07,600 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 4: But Font, to me, I've been on the Rob Font

1341
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 4: bandwagon for years before anybody knew who he was. Him

1342
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:15,960
Speaker 4: and I fought on the same card together. He fought

1343
01:03:16,120 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 4: uh Douglas the Silva or Silva de Andrage. Yeah, the

1344
01:03:20,360 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 4: same night I thought Tom Glickio and I've been I've

1345
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 4: I've been watching him since before that. I've heard passed

1346
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,600
Speaker 4: one before. I've been on the Rob Font bandwagon. I

1347
01:03:27,760 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not getting off right now. I do

1348
01:03:29,840 --> 01:03:31,440
Speaker 4: think this fight is a little bit closer on the

1349
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 4: odds than what's uh then what's shown. Uh, I'm gonna

1350
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:38,480
Speaker 4: go Font.

1351
01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:49,280
Speaker 5: Bye decision, Font by decision. Yeah, I mean I thought

1352
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:50,280
Speaker 5: it would be a pick and fight.

1353
01:03:50,400 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 7: Rob fonn is minus one fifty, so a little bit

1354
01:03:53,520 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 7: more pronounced than I forecasted.

1355
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,919
Speaker 5: Rob Font is thirty four, Jose Auto thirty five.

1356
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 7: By the way, Kenny fought Jose Auto when he was

1357
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:04,080
Speaker 7: twenty five years of age, still very dangerous, and Kenny

1358
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 7: in some ways he's better, right like in some ways

1359
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:08,520
Speaker 7: Aldo is better than he was.

1360
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 4: Why are you bringing up both stuff? John?

1361
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:14,200
Speaker 7: I know, and I just have to say for Rob

1362
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 7: Font right right, born in Leminster, Massachusetts, fights out of

1363
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:22,760
Speaker 7: fucking Wooburn, mass New England. Cattel huge spot in the

1364
01:04:22,800 --> 01:04:25,440
Speaker 7: main event here against Jose Aldo, as beloved as anybody

1365
01:04:25,480 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 7: on the roster, Ken Flow, Aldo Font men on the

1366
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 7: marquee who wins the main event and how.

1367
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 3: This is a tough one.

1368
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:33,880
Speaker 8: Rob Font first of all, doing a great job of

1369
01:04:33,920 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 8: putting New England, putting Massachusetts on the map. You look

1370
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 8: at his last four fights, I mean, look at the

1371
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 8: guy that he's beaten, Sergio Pettis, who's now you know,

1372
01:04:41,520 --> 01:04:45,040
Speaker 8: the world champ over in Bellator, Ricky Simone, Marlon Morays,

1373
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 8: Cody Garbrandt, all savages, you know. And you look at

1374
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 8: the improvements he's made technically, you know, mentally, you know,

1375
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 8: conditioning wise, he's firing in all cylinders and he's going

1376
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 8: to be extremely difficult beat. However, he is fighting a

1377
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:05,920
Speaker 8: guy in Jose Aldo, who is showing that he is

1378
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,520
Speaker 8: still getting better and he still has a ton of

1379
01:05:08,600 --> 01:05:10,680
Speaker 8: tricks up his sleeves. Now, if you look at the

1380
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 8: guys that have beaten him, you know, Pyotr Jaan Malon Maris,

1381
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 8: I thought, although won that fight Volkanowski. You know these

1382
01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 8: are all you know, championship level or champions in the

1383
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 8: respective divisions who are doing this. So you know, Rob

1384
01:05:27,480 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 8: Font is certainly on that or on the path to

1385
01:05:31,400 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 8: becoming that.

1386
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 3: Is he there yet? I don't know.

1387
01:05:35,600 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 8: I think we'll find out if he's able to beat

1388
01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:40,600
Speaker 8: someone like Josie Aldo, then watch the hell out.

1389
01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:42,960
Speaker 3: I don't know.

1390
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,920
Speaker 8: I think Aldo still has enough up his sleeve to

1391
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 8: win a decision here. And we also can't forget Josi

1392
01:05:50,400 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 8: Aldo is a high level Brazilian jutsu black belt. He

1393
01:05:53,320 --> 01:05:55,720
Speaker 8: may put Font on his back and try to take

1394
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 8: the fight to the ground and look for superior positioning

1395
01:05:57,880 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 8: and look for a submission. We saw him take that

1396
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:03,800
Speaker 8: path against Cheeto Vera, so he may do the same

1397
01:06:03,880 --> 01:06:07,200
Speaker 8: and mix things up and keep Font guessing. I don't

1398
01:06:07,200 --> 01:06:09,680
Speaker 8: think that would be a terrible strategy here. I think

1399
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:13,200
Speaker 8: we kind of forget about Jose and his grappling skills.

1400
01:06:13,960 --> 01:06:16,040
Speaker 8: He's so good on the feet that we forget that

1401
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 8: he comes from, you know, one of the best Brazilians.

1402
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:20,240
Speaker 3: Camps in the world in Nobunal.

1403
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 8: So I like Aldo here. Can he get the submission? Yes,

1404
01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 8: but I think that's gonna come down to a decision.

1405
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 8: Jose Aldo does enough to get the win, but he

1406
01:06:31,720 --> 01:06:34,200
Speaker 8: has to watch out, just like you know James was saying,

1407
01:06:34,240 --> 01:06:36,200
Speaker 8: and Ray was saying, you got to watch out in

1408
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:38,440
Speaker 8: that fourth and fifth round. That's where Rob fought may

1409
01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 8: be saving it a little bit and start to turn

1410
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 8: it on where we've seen Jose Aldo start to lose it.

1411
01:06:44,480 --> 01:06:47,280
Speaker 3: So Jose has to recognize that at this point.

1412
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 8: I would think he's got to be prepared for that

1413
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:52,640
Speaker 8: strategy and to be ready for that onslaught late in

1414
01:06:52,720 --> 01:06:55,000
Speaker 8: the fight. I think he will be and be able

1415
01:06:55,040 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 8: to survive. I like Jose here in this fight to

1416
01:06:58,200 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 8: win by decision.

1417
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:01,680
Speaker 7: I can't tell you how enjoyable it is for me

1418
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 7: to hear you two fellas go back and forth. Hopefully

1419
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 7: the listeners feel the same way at the James Krause

Speaker 5: I always get nobody's on the city.

1429
01:07:22,680 --> 01:07:25,440
Speaker 7: Oh my god, no, I remember Brian Stan and I

1430
01:07:25,560 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 7: crossed the border at one point because he had to

1431
01:07:28,040 --> 01:07:30,200
Speaker 7: get his legs waxed and pay off a bet. We

1432
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 7: couldn't find somebody in Missouri to wax a man's legs.

1433
01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:34,000
Speaker 7: We had to go to Kansas.

1434

1447
01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:05,520

1448
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 7: are you kidding me? And if you'd be a champ

1449
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:13,240
Speaker 7: that the chihuahua analogy, it's not like a uh, I

1450
01:08:13,400 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 7: think it's a shot at all. Like I am gonna

1451
01:08:15,720 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 7: make that comparison on the air a lot of times

1452
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,599
Speaker 7: during those data fights to make those comparisons. And by

1453
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 7: the way, Rob Font had COVID nineteen and had he not,

1454
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 7: he might have gotten that opportunity to fight Pyodriana on

1455
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,280
Speaker 7: Fight Island instead of Corey Sandhagen. Now could be a

1456
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,280
Speaker 7: case of be careful what you wish for, or Rob

1457
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 7: Font could be an interim UFC Bantamway champion already. Either way,

1458

1479
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:52,840
Speaker 1: a crime? And Kanye West made it clear he hates

1480

Speaker 1: Jews in England. He go to jail for that here

1481
