Speaker 2: That's all.

9
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 5: Well, if you don't have energy this week, I don't

10
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 5: know what to tell you. UFC three hundred is nearly

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 5: upon US Monday, April eighth, twenty twenty four. It is

12
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 5: episode four hundred and eighty of the Anak and Florian

13
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 5: podcast Ken Flow. I remember back in two thousand and

14
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 5: nine you were getting ready for UFC one oh one.

15
00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 5: Do you remember ever bemoaning the fact that you didn't

16
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 5: compete in UFC one hundred Anderson Silva headline UFC one

17
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 5: oh one alongside you and BJ Penn. Do you remember

18
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 5: back then if there was any discourse about competing at

19
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 5: one oh one versus one hundred.

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 4: Not really. I was at UFC one hundred, you know,

21
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: to promote one oh one. BJ Penn wasn't there, by

22
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: the way, that's right. And then I had to go

23
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 4: to Philly and BJ Penn wasn't there, by the way,

24
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,240
Speaker 4: No anyways, no, listen, I remember it being an amazing

25
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 4: card and having fought on a card with brock lesnar

26
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 4: before you know that people are gonna watch, right, So

27
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,199
Speaker 4: I remember it being an amazing night. Of course GSP

28
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 4: taking on Chiago Alvez and an amazing fight. Did I

29
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 4: get that right too? Is it Thiago Alves?

30
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

31
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, okay, and yeah, I just there was just an

32
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 4: energy and excitement there for UFC hundred which was tremendous,

33
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 4: and I think it kind of bled over to UFC

34
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 4: one oh one because we hit amazing numbers. I think

35
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: because of it, because it was such a good cart.

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,399
Speaker 4: I think it kind of pulled part certainly. And uh yeah,

37
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: did I answer your question, But.

38
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 5: Yeah you did. And I have a little bit in

39
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 5: terms of some numbers to back you up on the

40
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 5: pay per views in just a second. It's a little

41
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 5: bit different Back then. UFC one hundred just monumental, obviously,

42
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 5: big name after big name at a time when mixed

43
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 5: martial arts was in a different place, and then UFC

44
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 5: one oh one had two of the biggest names in

45
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 5: the sport. In Anderson Silvan BJPM. But I do remember

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 5: even as the vice president and not president of Team

47
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 5: Floran back then. I was just a VP back then,

48
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 5: but I remember thinking competitively, competitively, this is not good.

49
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 5: We already had heard that bjpen was pulling out all

50
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 5: the stops to try to get ready for kemploys in

51
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,519
Speaker 5: the best shape of his life. And then promostly he's

52
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 5: not showing up when you are there at UFC one hundred.

53
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: But UFC one hundred did one point three million pay

54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 5: per view buys, if tapology is to be the belief,

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 5: and then UFC one oh one did eight hundred and

56
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 5: fifty thousand pay per view bots shortly thereafter. Does that

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 5: sound accurate to you, Ken Flow?

58
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: I think it was. It was almost one million, I believe.

59
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 4: I think it was over nine hundred thousand. Was the thing?

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: All I know that is that was the biggest envelope,

61
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 4: our biggest check I got in an envelope from the UFC. Ever,

62
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 4: after that fight against bj Penn's I was very thankful

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 4: after that.

64
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 5: So if we get to one thousand episodes, will you

65
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 5: tell our audience what that check was?

66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: Yeah?

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 5: Wow, I can't believe we got them to say yes

68
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: so easily, because if we go five days a weekend, Flow,

69
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 5: we're gonna come up on episode one thousand pretty quickly.

70
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 5: But UFC three hundred beckins in about five days. I

71
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 5: am so overwhelmingly excited. I was doing the voiceovers over

72
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 5: the weekend for a lot of the in house stuff,

73
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 5: and for the first time I can remember, and I've

74
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 5: been calling UFC fights since January twenty of twenty twelve,

75
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 5: I did not need the pronunciation guide for a single voiceover,

76
00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 5: and that includes all the names of maybe the fighters

77
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 5: these athletes have beaten that could show up in some

78
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: of those combo features that you hear us voice. There's

79
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 5: never been a situation like this before where there are

80
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 5: so many big names that I literally did not have

81
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 5: to go into the pronunciation guide a single time. So

82
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 5: that is very exciting. And we will have a full

83
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 5: preview with predictions coming up later this week, a lot

84
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 5: of UFC three hundred stuff with Longo coming up here

85
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 5: in about twenty three minutes or so. But later this week,

86
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 5: we've got a timer and everything, because Ken Flow and

87
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: Brian Petrie are going to give you predictions for all

88
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 5: thirteen fights at UFC three hundred as well as spending

89
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 5: their money in place your bets. But we've got a

90
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 5: UFC fight night to recap. So to that end, Headlines

91
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 5: is brought to you by Quervo. Now's a good time

92
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 5: to enjoy the tequila that invented tequila. And speaking of Quervo,

93
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 5: by the way, Ken Flow, you're heading to Las Vegas

94
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 5: for UFC three hundred, or at least that's the word

95
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: on the street.

96
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: I am, I am, indeed, I can't wait, dude. I'm

97
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: excited to see you. Of course, we'll be doing a

98
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 4: little thing with the fans promoting Quervo and UFC three hundred,

99
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 4: of course, and it's going to be an amazing at

100
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 4: Batman all right.

101
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 5: So Brandon Moreno, former UFC flyweight champion, is going to

102
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 5: be doing an appearance for Quervo, Ken Flow and I

103
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 5: are going to be there. It is going to be

104
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 5: Friday night, April twelfth, Tom's Watch Bar, New York, New York,

105
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 5: six thirty pm Eastern. Meet the Assassin Baby, Brandon Moreno,

106
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 5: Meet Kenny Florian Cuervo along with DraftKings Friday, April twelfth,

107
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 5: on the eve of UFC three hundred in Las Vegas.

108
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 5: We want to see our Anakin flor in podcast listeners

109
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 5: and viewers show out Tom's watch Bar, New York, New York.

110
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 5: We'll see you on the eve of UFC three hundred. Actually,

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: maybe Evan Longoria might actually show up a little star

112
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 5: power to the festivities. All right, UFC Fight night, Alan

113
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 5: versus Curtis two. Now, this middleweight main event not a

114
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 5: Fight of the Year contender for me, per se. It

115
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 5: actually didn't even end up getting the bonus for Fight

116
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 5: of the night. That being said, a tremendous watch for

117
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 5: twenty five minutes back and forth affair that in my

118
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 5: mind actually could have gone either way. But it's Brendan

119
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 5: Allen over Chris Curtis by split decision forty nine, forty six,

120
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 5: forty eight, forty seven, and then on Judge had at

121
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 5: forty seven forty eight for the action man, Chris Curtis,

122
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 5: kemflow your thoughts on the main event this past weekend.

123
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I thought it was a pretty solid fight.

124
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: I think we saw some new tools from both men

125
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 4: as well. I think both men fought extremely well and

126
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 4: that's why it was such a close fight. I thought

127
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,600
Speaker 4: Alan showed some nice tools, especially in regards to that

128
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 4: elbow in TY. You knew I was gonna mention that

129
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 4: that elbow in tit was just nasty. Was hurting Curtis

130
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: on the inside, which I think caused him to be

131
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: a little hesitant, especially early on, and being in that

132
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 4: range that Chris Curtis typically is most dangerous from. So

133
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: I thought that was a brilliant tactic. Early on, however,

134
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 4: Brendan Allen was starting to eat shots on the feet.

135
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 4: I also thought he fought smart as he got into

136
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: some of those exchanges and was getting hurt or at

137
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 4: least eating some of those shots when he was level

138
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,679
Speaker 4: changing hitting a double leg, which you know Chris Curtis

139
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 4: is typically very good at stopping. But Allen's ability to

140
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 4: level change at the right time and drive through to

141
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 4: keep those feet moving as he penetrated with that double

142
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: leg was just a thing of beauty. Also, him cutting

143
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 4: the angle when he needed to is what was allowing

144
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 4: him to put Curtis on his back. And speaking of back,

145
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 4: his ability to take the back was very impressive as well.

146
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: I was very nervous personally because right now I think

147
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: I'm in second place for most most rear naked chokes

148
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 4: and you have seen him. He's knocking all the door

149
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 4: with six and I got seven. You know, Damian Maya

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: sitting there at the top, the legend that he is,

151
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 4: and so I was getting a little nervous. He had

152
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 4: the back there wasn't able to finish. Chris Curtis did

153
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 4: his homework in that regard was escaping extremely well. So

154
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: it was a great back and forth throughout the fight.

155
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: The way I scored it is I had Brendan Allen

156
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 4: round one. I had Chris Curtis round two, and then

157
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: I think I had three and four. Oh no, sorry,

158
00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 4: I had two and three for Chris Curtis, and then

159
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 4: I had and then I had four and five for

160
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 4: Brendan Allen. I think that's how it was.

161
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,320
Speaker 5: Something like And you don't think the President and the

162
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 5: team Florian is sitting there just thinking anything but a

163
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 5: rear naked show here. We want to keep these records

164
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 5: as long as possible, all right. So Sean Strickland had

165
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 5: this to say about his right hand man, training partner

166
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 5: and teammate Chris Curtis. He was so out of shape

167
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 5: and underprepared for this fight and still won. You don't

168
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: say no to the UFC. Lol, every fighter knows that.

169
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 5: They say jump, you say how high? LMAO should have

170
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 5: finished high school? Laugh my ass off. UFC film curt

171
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 5: I did one round of sporing with him and let

172
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 5: him win. The camera crew was confused because they know me.

173
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 5: I said, if I spore him remotely hard, he will

174
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 5: lose all confidence going into this fight because he's so

175
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 5: out of shape. No excuses, but take zero pride in

176
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: this victory. So Sean Strickland has a head to head

177
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 5: win over Brendan Allen by TKO. Now, Chris Curtis has

178
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 5: long pine for a UFC main event, face on the poster.

179
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,560
Speaker 5: Got it done. But seemingly if you take Strickland at

180
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 5: his word, Kenny, while he trains every day, wasn't necessarily

181
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 5: in five on shape. Your thoughts on that, Yeah, listen.

182
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 4: I think it's a different thing when you are mentally

183
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 4: preparing for a fight as opposed to just training every day. Mentally,

184
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 4: it's just a very different thing. And I also think

185
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 4: that the way that you structure your training, the intensity

186
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 4: of it, how you manage it is also very different

187
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 4: as well. And I think sometimes there's a bit more

188
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,440
Speaker 4: anxiety when you have a short notice fight as a fighter,

189
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: as you're preparing as it, as you head into fight night,

190
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 4: that fight week, there's a little bit of doubt sometimes

191
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: that creeps in. Did I do everything? Did was I

192
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 4: able to prepare? And you know, drop my eyes and

193
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: cross my t's and all those things, So that definitely

194
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: could have played plagued Curtis. However, I thought the output

195
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 4: was very impressive from Curtis. Nonetheless, I think he pushed

196
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 4: when he needed to push. Perhaps he could have pushed

197
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 4: a little bit earlier and some of those rounds prior.

198
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 4: But you know, I think his body ultimately failed him

199
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 4: there with that with that leg. You know, whether it's

200
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: a torn hamstring or not, I don't know. But that also,

201
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 4: you know, plays a part in it because maybe you're

202
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 4: pushing a little bit harder than you should have. Maybe

203
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 4: your body's not one hundred percent prepared because of that

204
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 4: short notice. So it was tricky man. All in all,

205
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 4: I thought, I thought it was a really good performance

206
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: from Curtis.

207
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: I did too, I really did. And maybe these guys

208
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 5: would meet again in a trilogy situation. They are one

209
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 5: one now. I largely agree with your scorecard, and I

210
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 5: think a lot of fans have a lot of opinions

211
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: about scoring and judging after this weekend. I would just

212
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 5: say this, as far as the main event is concerned,

213
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 5: I feel like Kenny damaging moments for Chris Curtis were

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 5: certainly there, especially in round three. I just felt like

215
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 5: there were too many big moments for Chris Curtis for

216
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 5: me to not give him that round. But in round five,

217
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 5: I don't know that Brendan Allen did a lot in

218
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 5: the grappling situations, but that combination laid in round five

219
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 5: from Brendan Allen, not that he was on the verge

220
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 5: of finishing Chris Curtis per se, but certainly if there

221
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 5: had been another forty five seconds or a minute, I

222
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 5: think they would have been pretty productive for Brendan Allen.

223
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: So big picture, I want to give Brendan Allen for

224
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,559
Speaker 5: a lot of credit for being ready for the twenty

225
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 5: nine minutes right that he sort of talked about and

226
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 5: they reference off the front of the broadcast. He knew

227
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 5: what type of fight he was in for Kenny, that

228
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 5: Chris Curtis was going to be there for twenty five

229
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 5: minutes and the four minutes between rounds obviously, and I

230
00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 5: think because he was expectant that he might have to

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 5: go twenty five. You know, he was able to dig

232
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 5: deep and Henry Hoof did a nice job in that corner.

233
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 5: I thought as well, and you know, Brendan Allen say

234
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 5: which you will. The winning streak is now seven successive fights.

235
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 4: I think the corner did a fantastic job for Brendan Allen,

236
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 4: encouraging him, Hey, you don't have to stand up and

237
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: prove how tough you are, take him down when you

238
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: need to. I think that was a very important reminder

239
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 4: at a crucial time in that fight. And to get

240
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 4: back to your point about that combination in round five,

241
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: I truly think that's what won him to fight because

242
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 4: it was very close to that point and when he

243
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 4: saw Chris Curtis hurt and you saw him stumble to me,

244
00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 4: that was the nail and the coffin that that was

245
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: the deciding moment for me in round five, which I

246
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: think it came down to. So yeah, I think Brendan

247
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 4: Allen has continued to show not only an evolving skill set,

248
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 4: that's one thing, but to show a certain level of

249
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: maturity of knowing how to manage rounds, of knowing how

250
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 4: to come back win rounds when you need to. This

251
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 4: is what you need if you want to make an

252
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 4: actual challenge for the belt. These are the kind of

253
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 4: fights you need underneath your belt to prove it to

254
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,599
Speaker 4: yourself and to others that hey, I could do this,

255
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 4: I can find a way.

256
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem to me that the middleweight champion Drinkist

257
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 5: dupleus C is going to be like a three to

258
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 5: one favorite or a prohibitively heavy a favored guy against

259
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 5: a lot of these other middleweights right whether it's Israelta,

260
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 5: Sonya or Strickland, it feels like a lot of these

261
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 5: numbers are going to be pretty close.

262
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 6: Now.

263
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 5: Brennan Allen has won seven straight fight, six in a row.

264
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 5: He certainly likes the matchup for himself against Dreakis duplus C.

265
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 5: Marvin was not able to make the walk on this night. Now,

266
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 5: it's not out of the realm of possibility that they

267
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 5: put together that main event once again between Brandon Allen

268
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 5: and Marvin Vattori. But Ken Flow, Brennan Allen has won

269
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 5: a lot of fights. I'm not necessarily sure he needs

270
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 5: to fight Marv Invatory at this point in time. Even

271
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 5: if the tory has the higher ranking. What are your

272
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: thoughts on Brandon Allen, where he stacks up, where he

273
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 5: stands in this eighty five pound division, and how he

274
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 5: might do against the incumbent out of South Africa Treek

275
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 5: is Duplicity.

276
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, Listen, I think that he definitely has shown improvement

277
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 4: in a lot of different areas, and I love the

278
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: fact that he went out and asked for that shot

279
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 4: against Drick Is Duplessy. I think that if I'm the UFC,

280
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 4: I might give him one more fight just to prove

281
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 4: that point. And I think that each time he gets

282
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: a fight, we see a better version of Brendan Allen.

283
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 4: So I also think it'd be a nice matchup to

284
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 4: show that you know how to stop the takedowns, because

285
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 4: on defeat, I think Drickis probably hits a little bit

286
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: harder than Brennan Allen. However, I think Brennan Allen is

287
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 4: the more technical fighter. That's probably gonna be the case

288
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 4: that goes almost every person that fights Drinks Duplessy. But

289
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 4: the problem is Drinkes puts a pace and a pressure

290
00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 4: on you, and he is also devastating or menacing, I

291
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 4: should say, with his takedown game, he'll put you on

292
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: your back. He'll make things rough and tough for you.

293
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 4: He will test that gas tank, he will test that resolve.

294
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 4: And I think that we were able to see the

295
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: resolve of Brendan Allen tested here. We were able to

296
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 4: see his conditioning tested here. But in regards to defending takedowns,

297
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 4: that's something you know, I would probably have a question

298
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: mark about now having a fight against someone like a Vittori,

299
00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: I think would prepare him that much more for someone

300
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 4: like a Drinks Duplessy. So and maybe it doesn't end

301
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 4: up being coming becoming Driggis. Maybe it's someone like like Adasagna. However, Yeah,

302
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,840
Speaker 4: just rounding out your skill set and and proving it

303
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,000
Speaker 4: to yourself at a high level that you have the

304
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: takedown defense necessary. A Marvin Buttory fight might make a

305
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 4: lot of sense for the UFC and maybe even for

306
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 4: Brennan Allen, even though he probably doesn't want that. At

307
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 4: this point.

308
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 5: I think that's the fight they're going to remake, Brennan

309
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 5: Allen versus Marvin Vttori. And there are a lot of

310
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 5: big names working against Brendan Allen in this eighty five

311
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 5: pound division right now. The last style bender, of course,

312
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 5: Sean Strickland has a huge following, and oh, by the way,

313
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 5: in June in Saudi Arabia, Robert Whitaker and Kamza Chimayev

314
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 5: are going to engage in a main event that absolutely

315
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 5: is a midway championship title eliminator. So sometimes not unlike

316
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 5: the Lao Muhammad or marob Dwalash Willie, there are circumstances

317
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: that surround these long winning streaks that get in the

318
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 5: way of championship opportunities. So I think we are all

319
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 5: of the belief that it's going to be at least

320
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: one more for Brennan Allen at six in a row,

321
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 5: at eighty five seven in a row overall, and I

322
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 5: think the victory fight is probably one that's going to

323
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 5: come around again. But congratulations to Brendan Allen, and I

324
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 5: think he hit on a lot of truths when it

325
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 5: comes to Chris Curtis, a man that I think the

326
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 5: entire sports just has a lot of respect for and

327
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 5: valiant in defeat in a fight that I think Kenny

328
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 5: and I are in alignment, really came down to the

329
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:15,080
Speaker 5: final fifteen or twenty seconds, all right. Co headliner Ken Flow,

330
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 5: Damon Jackson and Alexander the great eight Hernandez. Congratulations to

331
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 5: Ford his MMA's DJ. This is a huge win for him.

332
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,479
Speaker 5: How about all these guys in these hair transplants? Unbelievable.

333
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 5: I mean, can we go a week on the Anticonflorment

334
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,240
Speaker 5: podcast without talking about a mixed martial arts head getting

335
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 5: new lettuce?

336
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 3: Right?

337
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, great, it's crazy, But I might want to talk

338
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 4: to those guys just to see, you know, like what

339
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 4: the experience was like, you know, like got it, if

340
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,960
Speaker 4: they were satisfied with the results, just like out of curiosity,

341
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 4: you know, for a friend.

342
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 5: Not nearly as painful as stem Cell.

343
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly right.

344
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: So Alexander Hernandez misses Wade and then ends up on

345
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 5: the wrong side of a split decision here against Damon Jackson.

346
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 5: Don't need to spend too much time on this. Huge respect,

347
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 5: I think for me for the overall career and body

348
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 5: of work and resolve of Damon Jackson to get a

349
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 5: comin events slot and to take advantage here. And obviously

350
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 5: he was the guy that handled the fight before the

351
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 5: fight on the scale as well.

352
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 4: Dude, he is tough man, He is so tough and

353
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: you know, you could tell he fought with you know,

354
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 4: a little bit of fu in him, which was kind

355
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: of nice. He really wasn't happy with Hernandez and rightfully so.

356
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,120
Speaker 4: A missing weight and all that stuff, and Damon Jackson

357
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 4: showed a lot of toughness like he has shown many

358
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 4: times before. But I think there was a he cleaned

359
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: up his technique a lot. He's by no means a

360
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 4: perfect fighter. There's an unorthodox style to him and all

361
00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 4: that stuff, but I think he showed improvement in this

362
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: fight and did it in a really important spot. You know,

363
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,400
Speaker 4: this is a fight that he can continue to build

364
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,800
Speaker 4: momentum on and for Hernandez Man, I don't know where

365
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 4: he goes from here.

366
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 5: It may not be in the UFC, right No, I

367
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 5: think that might be, uh, not all that far off.

368
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 5: You know, He's had a lot of chances, and I

369
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 5: just think he's always been trying to sort of channel

370
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 5: that form that saw him upset Benil darg yushen his

371
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 5: UFC debut at one hundred and fifty five pounds and

372
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 5: looked like he was going to be a real factor,

373
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 5: and then, you know, on the front end of the

374
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,240
Speaker 5: Seroni fight, said some things and ended up eating his

375
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: words there. I really like Alexander Hernandez. He's a thoughtful

376
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 5: human being. But this is an appreciable setback to your

377
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 5: point to be sure, all right? At annat Florian Pod.

378
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 5: If Ken Flow was Ignacio ba Amundees, would he have

379
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 5: thrown a follow up shot on an essentially concussed Chris Dosiagos.

380
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 5: This is what me and my twin brother talk about,

381
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 5: you know, on the weekend. He was over at my

382
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 5: house yesterday and he, I mean congratulations to not show Lahowla,

383
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,960
Speaker 5: the Mike Valley trained Ignasio ba a Moundes tremendous knockout

384
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,679
Speaker 5: with the head kick and all the sportsmanship there at

385
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,920
Speaker 5: the end, to not follow up, I don't know. I

386
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 5: think Ken Flow might have followed up, but that's not

387
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 5: the lead story. Kenny. People, I think are really gonna

388
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 5: find out soon enough just how good ignacioba a Monde's

389
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 5: is ludaviit Klein's a hard guy to beat. Didn't beat him?

390
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 6: Man?

391
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 5: Did he come back in a big way here? And

392
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 5: uh and take it to Christosiagos early and often?

393
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: Man, you know, I thought this was a tough matchup

394
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 4: for him in a lot of ways, just based on

395
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:22,919
Speaker 4: Iago's wrestling, his takedown game. I thought he was going

396
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 4: to try to put bio mounds on his back, and

397
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,400
Speaker 4: maybe it was going to have some success there. But dude,

398
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 4: at that range, at those long range weapons, he is

399
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 4: just something special too. And at a huge credit to

400
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 4: Mike Valley, it's Mike Valley right that he has about

401
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 4: so just they've done a great job of retaining the creativity,

402
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: the aggression, and to sharpening that tool repeatedly and and

403
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: getting him to understand when he can do those things

404
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 4: as opposed to just doing it randomly. We saw a

405
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 4: lot of guys throw a lot of spinning shit, but

406
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 4: they don't know how to set it up. They're just

407
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 4: throwing it because they think it's the right said, ah,

408
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 4: let me just do it now. They're not reading their opponents.

409
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 4: Bob Mundez has an intelligence and a timing and a

410
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 4: creativity that really makes them a special striker and a

411
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: fun one to watch.

412
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 5: Man.

413
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: Just nasty, just nasty, nasty, nasty, and I see a

414
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 4: lot of big things in his future. Man, he has

415
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 4: someone to watch. And I think, dude, when you're fighting

416
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,560
Speaker 4: a guy in the Iagos who has been putting it

417
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 4: together for a long time now, and you know it

418
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 4: was interesting because I think one of these guys was

419
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,120
Speaker 4: going to take that rocket ship up the division after

420
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 4: a win here, and it was bab Mundees man, and

421
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: he just looked phenomenal.

422
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 5: A lot of people consider Rafael Fhazeve to be one

423
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 5: of the best strikers in this lightweight division. Ignaciobaam Mundees

424
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 5: is one of the best strikers in this division. And

425
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:48,920
Speaker 5: he pointed to just his wealth of kickboxing experience as

426
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,640
Speaker 5: to why he didn't follow up on Yagos because Yagos

427
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 5: was not out coal And certainly, you know there's a

428
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: gangster component to these walk off KOs, right when you

429
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 5: can hit a guy just bone on bone to the

430
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 5: face and then walk off into eternity and celebrate, it's

431
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 5: an amazing thing, right, But you know, we know kencelers

432
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 5: want to make sure that those guys are out called. No, Kenny,

433
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: what did you think of the sort of the restraint

434
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 5: that bab Monde showed and just the overall experience I

435
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 5: think starting to really pay dividends with some highlight reel

436
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 5: knockouts in the UFC.

437
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, listen, I think that that was experience talking right.

438
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 4: He understood fully well that his opponent was out. He

439
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 4: didn't need the follow up. However, if you get an

440
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 4: opponent that's talking a little bit too much, yeah, you

441
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 4: sometimes just send a message to him and the rest

442
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: of the division of like you might want to keep

443
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: your mouth shut, just just saying like, because maybe that

444
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 4: happens if you're out, maybe I follow up. The referee

445
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,399
Speaker 4: wasn't there, and I'm just doing my job. However, he

446
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,159
Speaker 4: didn't need to. He understood the dude was hurt. He

447
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: was a true gentleman. Walked away and that's like the

448
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,640
Speaker 4: sign of someone who has done that way too many times. Right,

449
00:21:58,760 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, thankster dude.

450
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,479
Speaker 5: No, the real storyline is Ba Mundees moving forward. Right,

451
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 5: But I find myself asking my brother, like, hey, if

452
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 5: you're fighting Ludovic Klein, right, who might show up in

453
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:10,920
Speaker 5: your bracket again?

454
00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 3: Right?

455
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 5: Christos Yagos with respect a little bit longer in the tooth.

456
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 5: He's had some shining moments, right, but go back a fight.

457
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 5: If Bob Mondez knocks out Ludevi Klimb, maybe land an

458
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 5: extra shot, right, try to shorten that guy's career because

459
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 5: he might show up in your bracket again.

460
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: Right.

461
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:25,960
Speaker 5: That's the non gentlemanly thought process to it. But thankfully

462
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:32,440
Speaker 5: these are mixed martial arts athletes and not pricks like me. Yeah,

463
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 5: but ignaciobam Mondez, Kenny, you were sort of talking about

464
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:39,520
Speaker 5: his striking last week and all the rounds with BALaw Mohammed,

465
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 5: iron sharpens, iron training four times a day instead of two.

466
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 5: Now you're a young man, right, a young man who

467
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 5: recently got married and I think lost to child and

468
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 5: now he is either feet you know his wife. He's

469
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: now married, his wife is expecting another baby, so I

470
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 5: think there's been some force maturity. But you know, this kid,

471
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 5: it's just incredible to think about everything he's been through,

472
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 5: you know, leaving Chile to pursue this dream and crying

473
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: himself to sleep. And you could not have a better

474
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 5: mentor or fighter alongside you, I'm telling you than our guy.

475
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 5: And certainly Ignaciobaman is moving on up at one hundred

476
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,160
Speaker 5: and fifty five pounds.

477
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 4: Can he be champion?

478
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 5: We'll see a lot of grapplers and wrestlers in this

479
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 5: division figure to challenge him and try to take him down.

480
00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 5: One thing that Paul feld Or reference on the broadcast

481
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 5: as well, though, Kenny, he's just the size. This dude's

482
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 5: much bigger than somebody like you. I mean, I know

483
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 5: you've got a great base and everything, right, but like

484
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 5: the way this guy fills out looks like one hundred

485
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 5: and seventy five pound fighter.

486
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 4: I don't know how he makes it. I don't know

487
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 4: how he makes it. And you talk about the length,

488
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 4: you know of course that that is evident, but even

489
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:46,959
Speaker 4: the size, he's not just like this crazy lanky guy.

490
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 4: He's got some muscle to him, and we could see

491
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 4: that what he hits people, they fall down, all right.

492
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 5: Featured bout in the featherweight division, Jose machine Gun Modescall

493
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 5: moves to three and zero in the UFC. He escapes

494
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 5: by split decision against Morgan at Charier. Huge swing fight

495
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,040
Speaker 5: obviously for you and Petrie ken Flow as far as

496
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 5: place your bets is concerned, competitive fight, the fight of

497
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 5: the night. But I think you thought it should have

498
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 5: gone the other way.

499
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, and I tweeted about this or made a

500
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 4: post on X about it. I hate X the name. Yeah, anyways, listen,

501
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 4: I think it was a great fight, but not a

502
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 4: great decision. I thought that the wrong guy won. And

503
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 4: it's hard to say that because Chepe he fights his

504
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,960
Speaker 4: ass off. He really does all time out man and

505
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 4: he fought the right strategy. He was trying to get

506
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 4: to that clinch. He was trying to do a lot

507
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 4: of great work with his dirty boxing and his knees

508
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,520
Speaker 4: in that over under position up against the cage. So

509
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 4: he was able to take away a lot of Charier's

510
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 4: strengths in that fight. However, did he win that fight?

511
00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 3: No?

512
00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 4: And I think it was a twenty nine to twenty eight,

513
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,719
Speaker 4: So it's not like it was this blowout robbery, right,

514
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 4: It wasn't that. But please go back and watch round one.

515
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 4: And if you think that Chipa won round one, I

516
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 4: don't know what to tell you that that that just wasn't.

517
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:08,560
Speaker 4: If we're looking at again the first criteria, effectiveness of grappling,

518
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 4: effectiveness of striking. That was executed and performed much better

519
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 4: in my opinion by Charlier. He was landing the cleaner shots,

520
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: he was landing the harder shots, especially early on in

521
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: that round, and there was nothing effective as far as

522
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 4: Shippy's grappling really that got it done. There was one

523
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: point where actually Charier kind of slipped off of like

524
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 4: an exchange. He kind of slipped and kind of was

525
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 4: on one knee up against the cage. There for a

526
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 4: little bit, and and even then it wasn't like Chepe

527
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 4: took huge advantage of that. There was no position really gained,

528
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 4: And the most effective grappling exchange, in my opinion, was

529
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: Charier almost submitting him with the guillotine and then almost

530
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 4: getting on top. So I don't know, man, You know

531
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 4: the inconsistency in some of these judges and what we're

532
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: looking at. And I do understand sometimes you get the

533
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 4: wrong angle of the cave and you can't quite see

534
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 4: what's going on and where they're getting hit. That that

535
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 4: is a problem, to be sure, But I don't know. Again,

536
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 4: we have the luxury of watching it on our couch

537
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 4: and watching it on television. But Chario won that fight.

538
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: It was it was at least two rounds to one

539
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 4: in Charier's favor. I just thought he'd got a lot

540
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: more done when it came to effectiveness of grappling, effectiveness

541
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 4: of striking.

542
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 5: And man Jose machine gun. Modesca was hurting for certain

543
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 5: after that fight, limp in and just busted up, but

544
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 5: he was certainly competitive. I did think it was a

545
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,360
Speaker 5: close fight. I didn't necessarily score it for the sake

546
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,440
Speaker 5: of the show, but a six hundred and forty eight

547
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,600
Speaker 5: dollars swing for Ken Flow and Petrie because they both

548
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 5: bet on different sides of that fight. Are I plenty

601
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:11,760
Speaker 3: Right?

602
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 5: UFC three hundreds five days away?

603
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: Very good, very good. Big one for the cannibal fun fight.

604
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 3: I thought, uh, I thought he was going to get

605
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: him out in the first round, but Trevor Peak is

606
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 3: tough MANU. And then it became I think it became

607
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: a fun scrap. But I think Charlie led to dance

608
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,640
Speaker 3: and he did a great job.

609
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 4: Can we say this was peak Trevor Peak at this

610
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 4: point it took a classic Peak fight. He was in

611
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,240
Speaker 4: his face, it looked like he was gonna get taken out,

612
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 4: and then he kind of comes back from the dead

613
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 4: over and over. You know, I had been big on

614
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 4: Charlie Campbell for the for the show, yeah, and you know,

615
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 4: but then it was I was sweating just watch it,

616
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,720
Speaker 4: just because peak Campbell always seemed to be in control

617
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,040
Speaker 4: for the most part. But you know, and he was

618
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,680
Speaker 4: certainly the way more technical fighter, but hanging in there,

619
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 4: swinging ball every second of the fighting, and it was

620
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,760
Speaker 4: almost like Campbell was like, yeah, that's fine, bring it.

621
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean it was you know what it

622
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 3: is like with fights like that, Kenny, It's it's does

623
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 3: your guy get frustrated because he's hitting him with some

624
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: big stuff shots and he's not going anywhere, But you

625
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 3: just got to be content to just keep bombing on

626
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 3: him and keep moving forward. But you could see when

627
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 3: Pete came back and he's he's very unorthodox obviously, right,

628
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: so they almost get you like, did that guy just

629
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:30,000
Speaker 3: hit me? Did I just I just feel my legs

630
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: wobble a little bit. I just killed this guy, you know?

631
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 4: So you know, what was that?

632
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 3: What was that Chuck Norris movie when I had to

633
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 3: throw the guy in the pit at the end they

634
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 3: couldn't kill him. Do you remember that movie? I don't

635
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 3: they couldn't kill the guy, so they just at the end,

636
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 3: they just threw him in a big pit. That's where

637
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: he stayed. That's that's Trevor Peak. You can't get rid

638
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 3: of this guy. You gotta tell him, you gotta throw

639
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 3: him in a pit.

640
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,920
Speaker 4: When ray Longo's watching a fight like that, he's watching

641
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 4: one of his guys. Are you more comfortable watching it

642
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 4: from the couch or from the corner? Where would you

643
00:30:58,760 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: rather be?

644
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:02,520
Speaker 3: I mean, as far as nerves, I'm always better in

645
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 3: the corner than on watching TV. You know, when I

646
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 3: learned that, John is when I acquinted that you did

647
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 3: the Live Tough season with them and we used to

648
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 3: go to the bar and watch it. Was that all.

649
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 3: I think that was brutal. Now it's definitely better to

650
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: be there than it is not be there.

651
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 5: Do you are you sober on these fight nights? You

652
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 5: have a little whiskey or a little vodka or anything.

653
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:29,560
Speaker 5: Are you watching these fights sober?

654
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 3: For the most part? Sober?

655
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 5: Yeah? Yeah, so Charlie after the fact, and I always

656
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 5: think he largely maximizes his mic time, but he said,

657
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 5: you know, this wasn't the cleanest performance, and certainly at

658
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:46,520
Speaker 5: the end of round two. It looked a little bit

659
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 5: dire there, but what an amazing response by your fighter

660
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 5: in round three. But he still believes he could be

661
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 5: the best guy in the world. So where do you

662
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 5: think Charlie Campbell is at right now relative to his

663
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 5: fighting prime and how good he can actually be.

664
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,520
Speaker 3: Look Charlie's you could see he's technically, he's you know,

665
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 3: he's a big, strong kid, and he he tries different stuff.

666
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 3: He's got great leg kicks. His knees looked on point.

667
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 3: You don't really see a lot of like the clinch

668
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 3: knees anymore. I think he does that great.

669
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 2: Uh.

670
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,000
Speaker 3: Is he he got to show off his wrestling a

671
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,920
Speaker 3: little bit, which wasn't his strong suit. Uh. I think

672
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: this was a good fight because I think Charlie did

673
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 3: think he was going to get him out in the

674
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 3: first round and he didn't. And that's that's where that's

675
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,240
Speaker 3: where Charlie's going to grow from this fight. All way,

676
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,719
Speaker 3: guys are tough, even if they're not technical, they might

677
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 3: be here for the duration. So I think he makes

678
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 3: that adjustment. I think that's the biggest thing for me,

679
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 3: is that because I really thought he was going to

680
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,680
Speaker 3: get him out early too. I knew the guy was tough,

681
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,200
Speaker 3: but sometimes tough when you get a guy and he's

682
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: bombing on you just isn't good. Like I guarantee you.

683
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 3: Trevor Peak is beat up this morning. So uh, I

684
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: think I think that's the takeaway for me is that,

685
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 3: you know, as the guys get tougher and technical, he's

686
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 3: gonna he's gonna have to dig down and change change

687
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 3: things up a little litle bit.

688
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,360
Speaker 5: But you're right, no overstating the value of those fifteen

689
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 5: minutes for Charlie Campbell to get stung a little bit

690
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 5: there and to prevail. And I certainly thought he won

691
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:11,480
Speaker 5: the fight cleanly. He was thirty twenty seven across the

692
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 5: board ray by unanimous decision. I thought maybe twenty nine

693
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: to twenty eight. There were some wayward cards on the night.

694
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,480
Speaker 5: I mean, Alexander Hernandez lost the co main event but

695
00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 5: won all three rounds on one judge's scorecard. But going

696
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 5: into that third round for Charlie, what's your mentality sitting

697
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:27,000
Speaker 5: on the couch.

698
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 3: No, I knew I thought Charlie was up. I mean,

699
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 3: like again, the only way for him to lose was

700
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 3: to get just absolutely frustrated. And some sort of like

701
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 3: freak thing happening to me. But trevit Peaks that guy,

702
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like he is that guy.

703
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 3: You think you're in control, then he's just charging at

704
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 3: you a trip, he's on top of you.

705
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 5: You know.

706
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 3: It's that type he's got to create. You got to

707
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:52,239
Speaker 3: fall into that chaos for him to be successful, if

708
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: you could keep a clean head. I think trevit Peak's

709
00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 3: going to have to make some adjustments. I mean, he's

710
00:33:58,000 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 3: got the toughness. All he has to do is get

711
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 3: somewhat technical and he's going to be tough. But you

712
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 3: know that toughness isn't going to list that much longer

713
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:10,120
Speaker 3: because he is getting hit a lot. So yeah, we'll see,

714
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: but I wish him the best. Seems like a nice kid.

715
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 5: All Right, We got a ton of UFC three hundred

716
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 5: stuff for you. We'll get to al Jamin Sterling and

717
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 5: all of that stuff. But I quickly would like to

718
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 5: ask you about the main event between Brendan Allen and

719
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 5: Chris Curtis, because it only evaporated about forty eight hours ago.

720
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 5: Jamal Hill and Blau Muhammad suggestive on X that this

721
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 5: was maybe the fight of the year and perhaps if

722
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 5: there were twenty thousand people there and it had that elevation,

723
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,359
Speaker 5: it could hold up. I thought it was a fantastic

724
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,920
Speaker 5: main event, not necessarily a fight of the year for me,

725
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 5: even though it was back and forth. What are your

726
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 5: thoughts on Brendan Allen getting his seventh consecutive win over

727
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 5: the weekend?

728
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: Raymond H Yeah, no, listen, good fight I had nowhere.

729
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't getting that feeling fight at a night at all,

730
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 3: but it was definitely a great scrap and two guys

731
00:34:55,280 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 3: went at it. I think either guy could have won,

732
00:34:57,600 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 3: you know. Like again, I think this scoring was kind

733
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: of a little bit all over the place. But I

734
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 3: think for Brendan Allen calling for a title shot, he

735
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 3: needed to do more than what he did in that fight.

736
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:14,040
Speaker 3: And he's been looking really good. But Chris Curtis is

737
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 3: a dog man. He's always in your face, great boxing,

738
00:35:18,760 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 3: you know. I think the optics at the end, even

739
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:23,120
Speaker 3: though it was at the very end with the hamstring,

740
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,360
Speaker 3: didn't look good, so that probably I don't know what

741
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,320
Speaker 3: was What was the scores on that fight again, I'll.

742
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 5: Read you the scores. I can't believe you just dropped

743
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 5: an optics by now, you're using that fucking word optics now.

744
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 3: Joe loves that word.

745
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, well you know who just used it on the

746
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 5: Anakin Florm podcast. Fucking you all right, split decision for

747
00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,920
Speaker 5: Brendan Allen forty nine, forty six, forty eight forty seven,

748
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,480
Speaker 5: and then the third judge had it forty eight forty

749
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 5: seven Curtis Kenny and I felt like Chris Curtis won

750
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 5: rounds two and three, and we also are in a lot.

751
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 5: I meant in our belief that round five was sort

752
00:36:02,239 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 5: of there for the taking until a tremendously violent combination

753
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:07,839
Speaker 5: from Brendon Allen in the waiting seconds of the fight

754
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 5: that very well could have won him the round in the.

755
00:36:09,239 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 3: Fight I'm going with that definitely wasn't forty nine to

756
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,040
Speaker 3: forty six though. Yeah, the four fights with that fight

757
00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 3: was close solo way through. I think I think I

758
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 3: would have wanted to have seen a more dominant performance

759
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 3: out of Allen, uh for a title shot. But you know,

760
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: like again, Curtis, he could have won that fight. I mean,

761
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: I wasn't really watching the fights to judge anything. I

762
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: was just literally trying to enjoy myself.

763
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 4: Ray, big week man, what's the big week. What's the

764
00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 4: optics on al Jamaine Sterling?

765
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 3: Go? The optics look good. It's been sending me sparring.

766
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,400
Speaker 3: You know, I was just out there a couple of

767
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 3: weeks ago. I like this fight. You know, Aljoe's an

768
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 3: intelligent guy. He's got you know, I love his kick

769
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 3: heavy program. You know, his fighting style, great wrestling. Have

770
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 3: we seen hat to wrestle at all? You know we're

771
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 3: gonna find out, you know, so I think I love

772
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,920
Speaker 3: to fight. What's the odds on that fight? John?

773
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 4: As of h let's see as of right now, John,

774
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,959
Speaker 4: do you have that readily available ahead somewhere? Let's see.

775
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,000
Speaker 4: I think I have it. Aljabet Shirling minus one fifty five.

776
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: He's the favorite cater plus one point thirty.

788
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,239
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, it's down.

789
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: But what the fuck?

790
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 5: What the actual fuck? I was told when I did

791
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 5: a home studio like this that no matter how much

792
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 5: money you put into it, your tools can fail you.

793
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 5: And that's what's happening right now. So I got Kim

794
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 5: Flow's old school shirt once around. I should probably go on.

795
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 6: The wy but check this out right, Yo, man, here

796
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:19,560
Speaker 6: we go. Look at that, Oh, Kenny, that's a half

797
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 6: man like that.

798
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 3: Coming out.

799
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 5: On that wide shot. You remember this one from Sugar

800
00:38:29,760 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 5: Shot Evans.

801
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, look at that. Sylvist.

802
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 3: Well you're good.

803
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,759
Speaker 5: We've been around a long time. It is crazy. I

804
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: was doing another podcast cheating on this one, and we

805
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,439
Speaker 5: talked about sort of being the oldest man in the room,

806
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,400
Speaker 5: and oftentimes I find myself being the oldest man in

807
00:38:48,480 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 5: the room. And the way mixed Martial Arts is or

808
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 5: was when I started covering m m A in two

809
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 5: thousand and seven, I never thought and I had a

810
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 5: little conversation with R. J. Clifford, our good friend, about this.

811
00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,120
Speaker 5: You know, I never thought that I could be like

812
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:05,640
Speaker 5: an mma og and I don't consider myself ray to

813
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 5: be that, but you know, twenty years my professional life

814
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 5: essentially devoted to this sport now and you know, it's

815
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 5: just crazy to see where it is at right now

816
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 5: relative to you know, UFC one oh one when Kencel

817
00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 5: was fighting DJ Pennan in two thousand and nine.

818
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 3: First off, I'm very uncomfortable talking about the oldest guy

819
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: in the room. I want to get I want to

820
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: get out of this conversation. Are you fucking with me

821
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 3: right now? The oldest guy in the room twenty years

822
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,280
Speaker 3: older than you. Job, both of us are only shit

823
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:37,279
Speaker 3: try forty years deep? Are you kidd twenty Well?

824
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,239
Speaker 5: I guess this is the only room in which you're not.

825
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:43,440
Speaker 3: You're just a no forget the g you know, like

826
00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 3: when you do the.

827
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 5: Fighter meetings, right like, who's the oldest guy in the

828
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 5: fucking room?

829
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 3: You know? Me not what I'm there, but I wish

830
00:39:50,719 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 3: I wish you were right? All right?

831
00:39:54,120 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 5: So Aljame Sterling fights this weekend. What is your UFC

832
00:39:59,200 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 5: three hundred gonna hold otherwise? I mean, obviously we got

833
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,560
Speaker 5: big Ron Pellegrino, we got the Penthouse, Ken Flows flying

834
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,000
Speaker 5: in Kenny and I have an appearance at New York,

835
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:09,840
Speaker 5: New York on Friday night. I mean, what are the

836
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 5: odds we could get you to show up to that

837
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:11,880
Speaker 5: fucking thing.

838
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 3: Well, I'm staying there, so the odds are real good.

839
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 3: I'll be I'm committing to it, all right.

840
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 5: So six thirty pm Eastern on Friday night, Longo is

841
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 5: going to be there as well. Ray, we'll pay you,

842
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:23,239
Speaker 5: don't worry, Jason.

843
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,880
Speaker 3: No, No, it's just as well as when I have

844
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 3: to find out when Al Joe's doing his dinner. That's

845
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 3: the only thing. I will definitely try to make that

846
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 3: for sure.

847
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean priority.

848
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:37,319
Speaker 3: So what do we got with the penthouse? What are

849
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 3: we doing?

850
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 5: Well, I'm just saying our good friend owner of the

851
00:40:40,520 --> 00:40:44,120
Speaker 5: Paradise Canteen, a big Ron Pellegrino, always has that penthouse lockdown.

852
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 5: So you need somewhere to hang out.

853
00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,879
Speaker 3: Just go, let's do it, man, I'm down all right.

854
00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,120
Speaker 5: So I have a few other UFC three hundred items

855
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 5: to get to with you. I'm having to go one

856
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,719
Speaker 5: ear on the headphones because everything I hear from you

857
00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 5: guys is coming out of the computer or instead of

858
00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:03,359
Speaker 5: my cans. So if you'll just bear with me here.

859
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,680
Speaker 5: So Alex Padata is fighting Jamal Hill in the Light

860
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 5: Heavyweight Championship main events. I would like a prediction from

861
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:11,919
Speaker 5: you on that fight.

862
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 3: No, I'm not giving you a prediction on that. All right,

863
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 3: well let me ask you. I like Jamal Hills boxing.

864
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:21,279
Speaker 3: He has the tools to get it done. He's got

865
00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,560
Speaker 3: to obviously avoid the power, but I think I think

866
00:41:24,640 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 3: he's quick enough to get in and out on career.

867
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:32,239
Speaker 3: I think Alex is there to be hit, but I

868
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 3: don't know. I think it's going to be That's a

869
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 3: really fun fight.

870
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 5: If Magamet Uncliv was fighting Alex Padata, do you guys

871
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,120
Speaker 5: think Uncle Ive would be the betting favorite or no?

872
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 5: And as you marinate on that, I ask it in

873
00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,879
Speaker 5: the context of seemingly money coming in on Jamal Hill.

874
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,360
Speaker 5: As we sit here on Monday morning, Alex Padada is

875
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 5: minus one twenty five and Jamal Hill is plus one

876
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 5: oh five. Now, when this fight was announced, a lot

877
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 5: of people were like, man, how's Maul going to do

878
00:41:58,120 --> 00:41:59,040
Speaker 5: it on one wheel?

879
00:41:59,120 --> 00:41:59,239
Speaker 3: Right?

880
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 5: He just tours Achilles right, essentially pick him on paper

881
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 5: right now? Ray, So it seems to me that if

882
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 5: Jamal Hill didn't tear his achilles, that he'd be the

883
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:10,760
Speaker 5: betting favorite over the former middleweight a Lexpedict.

884
00:42:11,920 --> 00:42:16,560
Speaker 3: Uh. I mean, I mean the achilles is a bad injury,

885
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 3: but I'm sure with everything they have today, he's gotten

886
00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 3: the best treatment he's got to be. I mean, he's

887
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 3: not going to be on one wheel now. I mean

888
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 3: he's got to How was the injury it was in July? Yeah,

889
00:42:28,920 --> 00:42:31,719
Speaker 3: all right, modern medicine, ray Man. I mean, I've just

890
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,839
Speaker 3: seen a guy would have torn achilles. He didn't look

891
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 3: that bad and he's huge, So I'm saying that's not

892
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:39,279
Speaker 3: going to be a factor in this fight. And if

893
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: it was, I don't think Jamal Hill should have even

894
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 3: taken the fight. But uh, I think I think he's

895
00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 3: going to have his wheels. Look, he can get it

896
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:49,439
Speaker 3: thrown with the boxing without a doubt.

897
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:51,760
Speaker 5: Kenny.

898
00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I listen. I think it's interesting. But I

899
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,120
Speaker 4: will say this, Ray, I think six figures, seven figures

900
00:42:57,280 --> 00:42:59,200
Speaker 4: will take them. We'll get him to take the fight

901
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 4: if necessary. Yeah, but I agree with your assessment in

902
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 4: that in a lot of ways, Jamal's on the feet

903
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:13,080
Speaker 4: when it comes to boxing. I think he's the cleaner strike.

904
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 4: I think he throws the straighter punches. I think he

905
00:43:16,239 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 4: probably has the speed advantage as well. Whether his feet

906
00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 4: can get him in and get him out when he

907
00:43:22,960 --> 00:43:25,880
Speaker 4: needs to, I don't know because of that Achilles, but

908
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:28,840
Speaker 4: I think I would probably agree with you John that

909
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 4: if he was one hundred percent healthy, that he might

910
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 4: be the favorite heading into this. But Pereira, the leg kick,

911
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,720
Speaker 4: the left hook, that's a problem.

912
00:43:39,120 --> 00:43:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's a problem. But if you I

913
00:43:41,160 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 3: mean he is. Look, I love Alex Perera. I love

914
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,520
Speaker 3: I love jet brute power. He can generate from like

915
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 3: a very short distance. But he he is got a

916
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 3: style where his hands are down and he's kind of

917
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,239
Speaker 3: you know, he avoids He's got good winness. But yeah,

918
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 3: that's Jamal Hill could snipe a man. I mean that

919
00:44:00,520 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 3: that's that's the problem. I'd have to like, is he

920
00:44:03,880 --> 00:44:06,920
Speaker 3: kind of did it right and that was you know,

921
00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:08,880
Speaker 3: you know you're going to add another twenty five thirty

922
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,799
Speaker 3: pounds on a guy. I don't. I don't know it's

923
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 3: gonna That's a tough that's a that's a great fight.

924
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:15,879
Speaker 3: I'm loving this. I love the matchup, and I'm loving

925
00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:17,960
Speaker 3: to see I want to see that fight and.

926
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 4: I think another thing to consider is Jamal Hill's grappling

927
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 4: as well. You know, he's a brown belt in Brazilian jitsu.

928
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if he's necessarily a high level guy,

929
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,800
Speaker 4: but I think his grappling is probably going to be

930
00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 4: better than Pereira. If there's a knock on Pereira. Aside

931
00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 4: from the things that you just mentioned, it's the grappling.

932
00:44:33,200 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 4: You know, maybe he takes him down and goes listen,

933
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:36,439
Speaker 4: I'm not even gonna mess with him on the feet.

934
00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 4: I know that I can get the better room on

935
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,880
Speaker 4: the ground and maybe submit him, but let's take it

936
00:44:40,960 --> 00:44:43,360
Speaker 4: to the ground. So I think people might not be

937
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 4: considering that as well.

938
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:46,440
Speaker 3: That's a good point to it. But you know, and

939
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,200
Speaker 3: again like because his hands are down, that's part of

940
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,439
Speaker 3: the reason why he can generate that type of power.

941
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 3: But it comes with you know, it comes with that

942
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,400
Speaker 3: other side where Yeah, so it's that course benefit analysis.

943
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 3: I'm curious to see what's what's going to happen there.

944
00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:02,400
Speaker 3: I agree with you.

945
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 5: Joe Rogan texted me in DC a video at one

946
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,839
Speaker 5: o'clock in the morning. Rogan is just obsessed with mixed

947
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,440
Speaker 5: martial arts. For the record, If you don't know now

948
00:45:12,520 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 5: you know on the biomechanics of Alex Fanta's left hook

949
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 5: and left like explained, or his leg kick, not his

950
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 5: left leg kick, but pretty interesting stuff that you can

951
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:26,480
Speaker 5: find on YouTube right now. But an absolutely fascinating main event.

952
00:45:27,120 --> 00:45:29,600
Speaker 5: We're also seeing some money come in on Max Holloway

953
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:32,040
Speaker 5: against Justin Gaetgee. It doesn't seem like you're in a

954
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 5: predicted mood on this Monday morning ray, But how do

955
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:37,440
Speaker 5: you see the BMF Lightweight You.

956
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,120
Speaker 3: Know what I call it? You know it is I

957
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: just like everybody. I don't want to start making the picks,

958
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 3: but ano the.

959
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:47,839
Speaker 5: Geniality.

960
00:45:47,920 --> 00:45:53,760
Speaker 3: Now, I just want to go to UFC three hundred,

961
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:57,880
Speaker 3: get al Jamine Sterling and want and enjoy myself. Everybody

962
00:45:57,920 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 3: else is going to fight at what time?

963
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,760
Speaker 5: Like thirty in the afternoon, six o'clock.

964
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 3: I don't I have no idea, but he's on the prelimp,

965
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:09,480
Speaker 3: so you gotta so that cart starts at nine ten,

966
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 3: seven o'clock. Yeah, you right, he's in the afternoon.

967
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,520
Speaker 5: Davison, Figuretto and Cody Garbrand are going to walk at

968
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 5: like three ten pm. It's even earlier than I thought.

969
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 3: Figuredo's gonna win. I'll predict that fight, all right, look

970
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 3: at this guy.

971
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,319
Speaker 4: Right, So.

972
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:30,480
Speaker 5: In terms of Justin Gaichee and Max all Away and

973
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 5: that particular fight, what do you think Max needs to

974
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 5: do to spring What is less of an upset than

975
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 5: I guess it was forty eight hours?

976
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:42,759
Speaker 1: Uh?

977
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 3: High volume, you know, just kind of what he did

978
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:47,840
Speaker 3: with Cada, you know what I mean. I think just

979
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:53,120
Speaker 3: a high volume fight. You know. Man Gechee hits like

980
00:46:53,200 --> 00:46:56,000
Speaker 3: a freight train. He can't he can't stand there and

981
00:46:56,080 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: trade with him, although he probably in his heart probably

982
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 3: is gonna end up doing that every so often. But

983
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: I see a lot of movement, a lot of combos.

984
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 3: I think he's got to use the k to fight

985
00:47:05,320 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: as a as a template to getting it done. And

986
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 3: that's that's a possibility. What are the odds on that fight?

987
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 5: We have all the odds that you can handle, Jeff,

988
00:47:17,280 --> 00:47:20,319
Speaker 5: Justin Gatchie was north of minus two hundred for a while.

989
00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 5: Now he's minus one seventy and noways plus one forty two.

990
00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 5: But there was a time when you can get Max

991
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 5: for like plus one seventy eight, and now he's down

992
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 5: a plus one forty two. Yeah, that particularly interesting, So

993
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 5: real quick ray if people want to see you in

994
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:39,000
Speaker 5: Las Vegas. Obviously, depending on Al Joe's post way and dinner,

995
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 5: It's Tom's Watch Bar in New York, New York, Friday,

996
00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 5: April twelfth. But where will you be for this pay

997
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:46,960
Speaker 5: per view? After Al Joe disposes of Calvin Cater.

998
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,319
Speaker 3: They think they yeah, well, well I don't know, well

00:47:50,440 --> 00:47:54,720
Speaker 3: bell they throw. Yeah, I would hope I was number

Speaker 3: i'd be in the arena watching a fight, but that's

1002
