1 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: It is Monday, October fourteenth, twenty nineteen. It is time 2 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: for Morning Combat. Hello, donks, my name is Luke Thomas 3 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: On the host of this program. Back from his sunny 4 00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: vacation South of the Border is Brian Campbell from CBS 5 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:42,839 Speaker 1: Sports and many other places. 6 00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 2: How was it good south of the border? That implies Mexico? 7 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 2: I was in Jamaica, you know, you know what I'm saying. 8 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: You know a part of Jamaica I was in. No, 9 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 2: I do not ride near the beach a boy, ye. 10 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: No, you're fired. Okay did you did you watch any 11 00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 1: MMA or pro Lascelling while you were gone? 12 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 2: I know not while I was gone. Because they like 13 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 2: to get down down there. Contrary to popular belief, they 14 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: will pass the duchy to the right side as well. 15 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,800 Speaker 3: Ducchy, you know it's your flavor. However, you know you 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 3: say tomato. You know what I'm saying, I say incorrectly. 17 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 3: All right, Well, welcome back, We miss you. 18 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: Thank you. 19 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: Chuck did a great job. 20 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 2: Is fantastic. He even took off his hat, which very 21 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 2: little people get to see that side. 22 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is that's like Darth Vader taking off his mask. 23 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 2: I know. And it was just just as scary by 24 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 2: the way, and shout out to Chuck and nobody touched Dick. 25 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 2: So we had a great episod. 26 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:29,680 Speaker 1: You know it, Well, we missed you just the same. 27 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,679 Speaker 1: In course, we couldn't go thirty seconds without you making 28 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: reference to Genitalia. But we have things to get to, 29 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: including UFC Tampa Bryant, so let's start where we need 30 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: to start. Saturday was a great night for y Wanna 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 1: and j She got back in the win Common. She 32 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,200 Speaker 1: had a win previous against Teacher Torres, but of course 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: her last fight against Flyway did not go so great 34 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: against Valentin to Schevchenko. Well, here she was absolutely dominating 35 00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: Michelle Watterson, who, to her credit, thought about I think 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: as violently as she could have. She tried even to 37 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: the last minute to put something together, but she was 38 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: totally out gunned. The narrative Brian after this fight is 39 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: is the Boogie Woman back? You know, she finally is 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: in her I think I want to say her natural 41 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: weight class, because if you ask me, she's actually more 42 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: of a tweener. We don't have a one to twenty 43 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 1: one weight class, but if we did, that's actually the 44 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: best spot for her. 45 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: The pop for twenty five. That's not sure. 46 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: Not the pop for twenty five and then at one 47 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: twenty excuse me, one to fifteen. She really is killing 48 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,520 Speaker 1: herself to get down there and dissected this week. When 49 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: you get a chance to watch it, because I know 50 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 1: you're professor, I don like. Well, here's the one thing 51 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: I went back. I looked at her Julian Alima fight. 52 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: She just you can't imagine how much physically smaller. She 53 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: looks like an American top team under the work of 54 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: fill the room. She's really put on a ton of 55 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: muscle mass. Okay, but the point being is, you know, 56 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: is the boogie Woman back And I'm gonna say no, 57 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: But hold on, I'm not gonna say no, like it's 58 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: never gonna happen. It's not true. Here's what I want 59 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: people to just to understand. One, her weight class issues 60 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: are not going to go away, right, Which isn't to 61 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: say she can't make it. She made one fifteen and 62 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 1: a half this past time. But I want to point 63 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: out every time she has to cut weight, it is 64 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: going to be a struggle for her, and some of 65 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: those weight cuts are going to be easier than others. 66 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 1: If she has to travel to certain places now, maybe 67 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: not Poland, but if she has to go to some 68 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: other place, God only knows. Because the Mani fighters, you know, 69 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: they go to Brazil. They have to figure out how 70 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna eat food, where they're gonna cut weight, where 71 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna get their water from, and it obviously is 72 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:12,560 Speaker 1: bottled water. 73 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 2: But the point being, once they're gonna do now, when 74 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 2: there's no drug testing right twenty thirteen bell. 75 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 1: For all kinds of stuff, it's really different down there. 76 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: So to me, that could anything that doesn't go right 77 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: for her could really jeopardize it. That's not a small consideration. Now, 78 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: did she look awesome? Did she was she utterly dominant? Yes? 79 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 1: Is that a championship caliber fighter? Absolutely? I guess. My 80 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: only point is Janguay Lee is a incredibly tough customer. 81 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: And if you look at the way yin Jchek fights 82 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: now as opposed to how she fought earlier in her 83 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: UFC tenure, she's a round winner. The math justifies this. 84 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: Her average fight time is nineteen minutes long. Her average 85 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: average fight time is a four round fight. She's actually 86 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: a better fighter now and she's harder to beat, but 87 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: she's not so much of a finisher in the way 88 00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 1: that she used to beat, which I think is utterly fair. 89 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 2: She really was never a finisher Eye she was put. 90 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: On Penny and of course a Sparza as well. But 91 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 1: the point being is this, I think that the jury 92 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: is out. So I'm not saying no, like affirmatively no, 93 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying, let's see some more evidence. If she beats 94 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Jang Way Lee, that would be incredible. How many UFC 95 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 1: champions outside of heavyweight where you had the Qators and 96 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 1: the Sylvia's and everyone rotating, have ever done that where 97 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 1: they lost a belt and came back and got it. 98 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: It's like GSP Matt Hughes. Not many other fighters have 99 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: done that before. So that's what I'm looking to see 100 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: for me. Jerry still out, What about you? 101 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: She's back and like this show, I'm back. Maybe she's 102 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 2: back with a bang. 103 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: Now. 104 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: Some of y'all might get with this, and some of 105 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: y'all won't, but listen, you know the next line. My 106 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 2: point on this is you remember when Buffer is announcing 107 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: her name. Okay, there used to be a swagger with 108 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 2: the Boogey woman that that defined her. That swagger was 109 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: gone for a couple fights, all right, It wasn't just 110 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 2: the fact that she lost her title and say what too, Well, 111 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 2: every fighter's got excuses. Maybe she's never gonna beat ros Nominius. 112 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,359 Speaker 2: Maybe that's the wrong striking against her, and she's probably 113 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: never gonna beat her her career rival ship Takeo, and 114 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: certainly not at one twenty five. But the swagger was gone. 115 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,160 Speaker 2: You remember her creating sort of fake argument situations like 116 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: Rowsie did ahead of the whole fight, just to try 117 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:13,400 Speaker 2: to get herself fired up because she couldn't get in 118 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 2: Rose's head. That swagger that she used to have was 119 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 2: back when Bruce Buffer or not Bruce Uffer, when Joe 120 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: Joe Martinez, Joe Martinez, some fantastic Joe Martinez was announcing 121 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 2: her name. I don't know, if you looked closely, some 122 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: of these moments don't mean anything of the people, but 123 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: it does for me. She had a face on her, 124 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 2: she did the boogey Woman was back. She was basically like, 125 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 2: fucking fight and it's all the same like it was there. 126 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 2: And I know maybe that doesn't mean anything to you, 127 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 2: but when I saw that, I said to myself, I 128 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: think it's gonna be an ass kicking. It's a matchup 129 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: against Waterson, who was tough as nails, but it's a 130 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 2: matchup that young Jay Chuck should win with her striking ability, 131 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: her accuracy in her length. But it was the swagger 132 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 2: and that toughness that seemed to be back. And I 133 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: think when you start really looking into her personal life 134 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: and reading closely the interviews, and she gave her real 135 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: detailed one with Mark RAYMONDI your former colleague now at ESPN, 136 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: where she really opened up about that stretch of Louis, 137 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: the title and the fights that followed, about the people 138 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 2: in her camp in her personal life that she welcomed 139 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 2: in that were only negative to her in the long run. 140 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 2: And again, look, it's an excuse. All fighters have excuses, 141 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 2: but I think in this case, when you look at that, 142 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 2: you look at the awful way cut she had ahead 143 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: of the first Rosnama Units fight, it seemed that her 144 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: head got big. She became a champion, she was becoming 145 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 2: a somewhat of a crossover star, certainly in Europe, and 146 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: she wasn't necessarily doing the same things and preparing the 147 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 2: same way. She seems back, she seems better for have 148 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: gone through what she went through. And by that performance, 149 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: I thought it was perfect prime boogey woman, Young j 150 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 2: Check overcoming the broken right foot, just being a high volume, 151 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 2: high energy, five round banger in there. It was fun 152 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:41,839 Speaker 2: to see and really, you look at the future now. 153 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: One fifteen is a division that always delivers. I love it. 154 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 2: The fights are great, the personalities are great. They're almost 155 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 2: in line if your UFC to create potentially your sexiest 156 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 2: matchup possible. What's that? And this is no disrespect to 157 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 2: Wangley's Jangwilie, who may end up being the start of 158 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 2: this division the long. 159 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: Run, We're gonna find it out. 160 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: But if you want to comes back and win back 161 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: that title, and she's certainly the biggest star in the division, 162 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 2: and then you get Rose back up out of the 163 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 2: bullpen and you do a trilogy fight. Normally you don't 164 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 2: do a third fight when one person wins the first two, 165 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: and specifically so dominantly is that first fight. But to 166 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 2: have you want to potentially come back as the champion, 167 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: I'm just saying there's big business ahead. And she seems 168 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 2: mentally to be wired in a way that tells me, 169 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 2: Luke that she's gone through the fire. So she went 170 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Speaker 2: through some stuff, But what's crazy, And here's maybe you're 171 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 2: gonna say this is if she didn't make weight this week, 172 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: that's over. If she lost this fight, that would be over. 173 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 2: She would become a celebrity name who is aging. But 174 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 2: she's for whatever reason she bit down, she made that 175 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: one fifteen or the one sixteen got us there. She's 176 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 2: right back in line where. 177 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: She needs to be. This fight, to me, was a 178 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 1: real indication of how the US filt about her, which 179 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,800 Speaker 1: was they were a little uncertain too. Think about the 180 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: other venues that she had fought in. She fought in 181 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: on the Ronda Rousi card, she did fight on an 182 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: Ultimate Fighter card, but that's because she was the coach 183 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: on the Ultimate Fighter. They've put her on big platforms 184 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: to Connor McGregor card as well. They've really given her 185 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: a push this time. They put her ESPN plus, not 186 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: because I didn't believe in her, for KINDI love they 187 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: put in the main event, maybe a number one contender spout, 188 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: but I think they wanted to see is she back? 189 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: Is the somebody who has little bit of swag left? 190 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: And you're right, I did see the swag when she 191 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: showed her teeth and it said Polska on the mouthpiece. 192 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 2: I remember gave a couple of executioner lucks. 193 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: Trust me, I was with you. I was like, okay, dude, 194 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: please don't misunderstand me. She looked awesome. I devoted my 195 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 1: whole dissector to her this week. I haven't done that 196 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: for a female fighter in a long time. And you're 197 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: missing something else too about this whole thing. If she 198 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: she lost her title, if she spends time away ghost 199 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: another weight class, loses, comes back and then recaptures a title, 200 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,079 Speaker 1: she'd be the first woman in the UFC to ever 201 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: do that, which to me is historic in its own right, 202 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 1: quite literally. But more importantly, remember we're talking about the 203 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: strowet division, the division that moves the fastest. Now Tatiana 204 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,199 Speaker 1: Suarez is on the injured reserve, but she eventually, we think, 205 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: is going to come back. If you want to eat 206 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 1: Jchick can recapture the title, that would be huge, and 207 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: then you start beating some of these other contenders, which 208 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 1: I maintain is a new way she's fighting, not like 209 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: brand brand new, but this sort of evolved to this 210 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: particular stage that's huge. All I'm saying is, also, she 211 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: was widely expected to be Michelle Waterson. Now she made 212 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,079 Speaker 1: weight and she did it, and that was awesome, and 213 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 1: she did it with swag. That's the difference. The only 214 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: thing I'm pointing out is I just don't want her 215 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: want to be like, all right, she's gonna be championed again, dude. 216 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: She's in a very, very tough division. She has a 217 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: lot of women. 218 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 2: Take down defense on point. 219 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 1: Everything was due, what was not on point? She outstruck 220 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: her in every dimension to take down defenses on point. 221 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: Even when Waterson managed to find her back, she found 222 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: a way to wiggle out of it. 223 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: Dude. 224 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: She looked great. She looked great under any circumstance. But 225 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: like this recornation, it hasn't happened in the women's divisions 226 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: ever where you lose the title and recaptured it. John 227 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: Jones did it. Randy Kator did it, GSP did it, 228 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:35,719 Speaker 1: Mat Hughes did it. Listen to those names? Are we 229 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: gonna put her up there? We might? I just want 230 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: to see the evidence first, she. 231 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: Thought, head to head, even if you will. In the 232 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,319 Speaker 2: Rose rematch, in which. 233 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: She sort of heading into the fifth, I had a 234 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: too too great fight. 235 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 2: By the way, if you don't realize what a classic 236 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: fight that was, they don't talk about it enough with 237 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 2: everything that happened to Connor and Habib that weekend, But 238 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: how do you think she would potentially match up with 239 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 2: wayleyo Zong Wailey if she got the next call. 240 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: It's super interesting because people don't realize this Manyers coming 241 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: out of China are not very complete. They have a 242 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: couple of things they do really well, and they got 243 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 1: so many just utter gaps. Dude, she doesn't she thought 244 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,440 Speaker 1: in Kuon Loon Fighting Championship and a bunch of other shows. 245 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: Whoever did her matchmaking and whoever did her grooming to 246 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: bring her to this stage? She's bad at nothing. The 247 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: key is Yo Wanni and j Check. I think is quicker, 248 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: has longer reach, is taller Wayley Zang or Zhang way 249 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: Lee is only one inch taller than than Michelle Waterson. 250 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: Remember the height differential in the clinch. I think that's 251 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: going to play a big role. At the same time, 252 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: you know who's also a good clinch fighter, Jang Way Lee. 253 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: So to me, it's like, this is why everyone's like, oh, 254 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: she's back. I'm like, she might be, but she has 255 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 1: a tall order in front of her. I would be 256 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: very very caution. And another one right after that, so 257 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: we'll have to see another. 258 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 2: What a damn good division. 259 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: Division, it's a super sick all right. Let me ask 260 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 1: you about this one, Crome Gracie. That striking style. First 261 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: of all, he says he won. I was like what, 262 00:10:58,160 --> 00:10:59,240 Speaker 1: But okay, he thinks he won. 263 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: He to if there was a BMF title on the line, 264 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 2: he won that in this Yeah. 265 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: He was. His resiliency under those body attacks was remarkable. Okay. 266 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,360 Speaker 1: That striking style. His striking style to me, Brian Campbell, 267 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 1: it's a walking It's like self refuting. It's like I'm 268 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 1: committed to these principles of martial arts and I'm also 269 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 1: going to compete and win with them. They show you 270 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 1: why you can't. Okay, how much of a liability is 271 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 1: this going forward? 272 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,040 Speaker 2: This fight is so interesting because I could come at 273 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 2: you with a completely damning take against Chrome Gray scene. 274 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: You blew it. 275 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: You fought a stupid style. You barely went for takedowns, 276 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 2: You barely put your bread and butter on the table 277 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 2: and went after it. And I can also make some 278 00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: hipster argument of why this will help him in the 279 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: long one. But first and foremost, good Lord, he fought 280 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 2: like a Diaz brother. I mean, this would been the 281 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 2: equivalent of him getting stoped by TSA and they find 282 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 2: it joint. They'd be like, oh, I guess you're hanging 283 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 2: out with Nick and Nate again. I mean, it was 284 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 2: basically a mirror image. I don't know if this was 285 00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: the initiation for their camp, where like you got to 286 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 2: go off into a big fight and just fight a 287 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 2: wrong style and be a badass. But the thing is 288 00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: he did that. He walked down Cub Swanson for three rounds. 289 00:11:57,640 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: He didn't land the bigger punches, but he showed you 290 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 2: that he has major league striking, and that was a. 291 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: Big question coming in major league striking. 292 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: Maybe not maybe not elite power. Okay, he certainly got 293 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:11,319 Speaker 2: the backbone and the balls, and he showed you, he 294 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: showed me at least that he's got a really good technique. 295 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: He knows how to put punches together and he goes 296 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: after it. I'm not saying that. 297 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 1: That you had an edible beforehand. 298 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 2: I had not had one beforehead. So let me let 299 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 2: me put it to you like this. I see your 300 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 2: reaction is sort of looking at me. 301 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: Like I'm crazy, because that was the last thing I would. 302 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: Say coming in. We looked at him as potentially a 303 00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: one dimensional fighter, right A name one of these, one 304 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: of these Marco Madson guys. Can they evolve? Can they 305 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: become a thing? He basically picked up his biggest weakness 306 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: in this fight, went out there and did it for 307 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: the entire three minutes. Wasn't on the level of his opponent, 308 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: yet did not take a step back when it was 309 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 2: just like, I'm going to live and die by this sword. 310 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's trying to prove it to himself. 311 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's trying to prove it to 312 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 2: his haters. But I came out of that fight going 313 00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: hipster take or not, He's going to be better for 314 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 2: this performance in the long run, because I think he 315 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 2: don't headfirst into the deep end of the pool into 316 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 2: a skill set that he's not strongest in or stronger 317 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 2: in that matchup. He did pretty damn good, Luke Right, 318 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: So I was pretty damn good. I would say it 319 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 2: wasn't smart in the long run, but this showed me 320 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: he has a closer opportunity to be a more well 321 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 2: rounded fighter than I would have thought. 322 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: So I don't think so at the age he is given. 323 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: It's not that he doesn't have tremendous athletic ability. Like 324 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: if you ever watched Krone here, here's a recommendation for 325 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: you for everyone watching. Go Google. I think it was 326 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: when the ADCC was in China. Find Crone Gracie's match 327 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 1: with Gary Tonan. Find Crone Gracie's match with j. T. Torres. 328 00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 1: We're talking too, of the all time best. He won 329 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: them both, by the way, and he won them with 330 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: old fashioned jiu jitsu, not super barm bolo inverted this. 331 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 1: He actually beat j T. Torres. He had full guard 332 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,000 Speaker 1: on him, he had an overhook on one side and 333 00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,840 Speaker 1: just whipped into an armbar and got him. 334 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 2: JT. 335 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: Torres as a multiple time medalist out of Auto's beat 336 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: him that way. He has employed that reality which he 337 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: is so good at into martial arts generally, and he 338 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 1: got horn to pieces for it as a result. Now 339 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: you're pointing out he showed resiliency and he showed I 340 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: would say, of the third round and from the clinch 341 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: in shorter range, he puts some combinations together. I will 342 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: give him credit there. But these Gracies have these delusional 343 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: ideas about like they're with the value of Gracie jiu 344 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: jitsu is in terms of martial arts generally, and when 345 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 1: you employ that at scale, it blows up in your 346 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: face every time. This is well established. Now. My thought 347 00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: is if he wants to learn from the DZ brothers, 348 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: who can actually box really well, yeah, he can go 349 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: really far if he keeps to what got him here. 350 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: At this point, he's going to be what. 351 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 2: We're impressed by his stand up, and again I was 352 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 2: impressed out there. It's a bad idea we saw. 353 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 1: I am impressed by his stand up. I was impressed 354 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: by his resiliency, and his jiu jitsu is god tear. 355 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbelievably good. But was I impressed by it? 356 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: No? 357 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:44,640 Speaker 1: I was not. Dude considered the difference at one forty 358 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: five another jiu jitsu guy, Ryan Hall. He has different 359 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: entries and folks want to get away, and then on 360 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,160 Speaker 1: the feet he outstrikes them, doesn't take hardly any damage. 361 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: It's the opposite approach, and I feel it's better for longevity, 362 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: and I think it's better for upside too. That to 363 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: me is the better approach. That to me is the 364 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: guy at one forty five was a jiu jitsu specialist. 365 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 1: You should be celebrating. 366 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 2: He's a free spirit. I was gonna use the term 367 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 2: free spirit. You use the term delusional talking about the 368 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 2: overarching thing of the grass that say our jiu JITs 369 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: is better than anything. We're gonna live and die by it. 370 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 371 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 2: I almost felt like he completely flipped the swipt script, 372 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 2: did a ballsy move and said, you know what, Cub 373 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 2: Swanson a veteran older, but he's still tough. The guy 374 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 2: can strike. I'm gonna go into that cage. I'm gonna 375 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 2: beat him at what he does best. I'm gonna do 376 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 2: it with swagger. I'm gonna do it with balls. No 377 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: matter what happens to me. I'm gonna keep coming forward 378 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 2: and keep walking him down. And I'm gonna prove to 379 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: everybody that I can strike. And you know what, he lost, 380 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: But I think he did pretty damn good in trying 381 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 2: to prove that point. Is it a valid point to prove? No? 382 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: Was it smart? 383 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 5: No? 384 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,760 Speaker 2: But it seems he's got that free spirit side of him. 385 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 2: If you see his reactions on social media after this fight, 386 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 2: not just complaining about the decision, but just sort of 387 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 2: you know, being like, you're not me, you don't understand. 388 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,880 Speaker 2: I think That's what he was trying to do. And 389 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 2: I think that's in the long run, gonna prove something 390 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: to himself that when he puts that package together, Luke, 391 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 2: and he leans on that striking more to set up 392 00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:00,480 Speaker 2: the submission game like this is. 393 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: But this is the point. Is he is he going 394 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: to do that? 395 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: Well? 396 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: Everyone everyone's talking like this evolution is inevitable. Is he 397 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: committed to striking and learning how to strike? Even Cup 398 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 1: Swanson said afterwards at his post fight scrum, he's got 399 00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 1: to humble himself and learn mma. Right If if he's 400 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: going to keep doing exactly what he's doing, you kind 401 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: of already know what his ceiling is. But what I'm 402 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,240 Speaker 1: saying is do what the Diaz brothers did, really work 403 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: on your hands. And then I think his ceiling is 404 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: extraordinary because his his chin is good. His body uh resiliency, 405 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: the body attack is unbelievable. 406 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 2: We pause and just put that out there. 407 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: That to me was the most impressive thing. 408 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,920 Speaker 2: That absolutely ridiculous. His ability to no sell body shots 409 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: like that and these weren't taps, these were cub swans 410 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 2: and digging in, biting down and going for it to 411 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: the liver and it. 412 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: Was it was like, not that happened, that would That 413 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,359 Speaker 1: to me was amazing. And then again people are frightened 414 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: of his jiu jitsu as well. They should be. That 415 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:56,360 Speaker 1: is so good. No one will ever catch up with that, 416 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 1: including the great Ryan Hall, who's very very good obviously. 417 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: So to me, it's like, I'm not asking for much. 418 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: Tighten up that other stuff and the world is your oyster. 419 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,000 Speaker 1: But if it's just going to be gracie jiu jitsu 420 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,719 Speaker 1: with that horse stomp as an entry, dude, you're not 421 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: gonna beat good fighters that way. 422 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 2: May never end up becoming well rounded. It may be 423 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 2: his own fault, but he's a free spirit. I feel like, 424 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: fight to fight, He's just gonna do what he wants 425 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: in there. It's certainly going to be fun to watch. 426 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 2: It's probably not the smartest for his long term win 427 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 2: lost calum and evolution, but I don't know. I still 428 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,880 Speaker 2: came away from there seeing a lot that I think 429 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: can be applied positively to the future. 430 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 1: I hope you're right, because if he can, if he 431 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,879 Speaker 1: can evolve, if he can evolve, hey, all bets are off. 432 00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 2: It looked like he had the edible before the fighting. 433 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: If that's what if what he showed us is what 434 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: it's going to be. You've already seen the limits of it. 435 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 1: Now one more thing, James vick I talked to him yesterday. 436 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: Four losses in a row, three by first round stoppage, 437 00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 1: brutal ones. On top of that, he even said going 438 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:50,480 Speaker 1: into this fight like, if I lose one more time, 439 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my walking papers. I didn't ask him 440 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: about it. I got the health update. His teeth are fine, 441 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: his jaws fine. CT scan came back and negative, but 442 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: he thinks he tore his knee. Hes going to get 443 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,120 Speaker 1: an MRI. Where does he go from here? 444 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 2: He's going to have to go where he should have 445 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 2: went after that third straight knockout loss, which is to 446 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: take time off and really a decide if you still 447 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,200 Speaker 2: want to be doing this on this level. And b 448 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 2: he's got fundamental flaws and we've talked about it on 449 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 2: the show after his last knockout loss doesn't move his 450 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: head enough. There seemed to be legitimate fundamental flaws in 451 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 2: his defense in the way that he fights, that this 452 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 2: may end up continuing to happen, and the fact that 453 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: he came back from that last knockout loss is third 454 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 2: in a row and comes back to what two three 455 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 2: months moves up in wait seemed a little bit desperate. 456 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,160 Speaker 2: It seemed way too soon, and then to lose like that. 457 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 2: You say where he goes from here? I mean, I'd 458 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: certainly like to see that takes some time off and 459 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 2: really look at it approach. But it might be over 460 00:18:41,160 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 2: already because those are some tough ass losses and they're 461 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,400 Speaker 2: not freak losses. Maybe one or two where I ran 462 00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 2: into something, but it's becoming a trend. His chin is 463 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 2: there to be hit, and each time he's getting hit 464 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 2: with these violent shots, he's done. This is not a 465 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 2: good sign for a very talented guy who just what 466 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,600 Speaker 2: a year ago, was a sneaky top five potential title 467 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: contender at that loaded lightweight division. Tough to see this turn, 468 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,320 Speaker 2: but I don't see how you can keep absorbing these 469 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 2: and just be like, hey, let's roll the dice. We'll 470 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 2: do it again and see what happens. 471 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:10,159 Speaker 1: Yeah, when the announced this fight, I was actually kind 472 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: of worried for him because Nico Price, Like, do I 473 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 1: think James Vick is more technical than him? I do, 474 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,239 Speaker 1: But Nico Price scores from every position. He like, if 475 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: fighters want to ask, hey, who's a guy who, no 476 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 1: matter where he is, in what kind of position he's in, 477 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: he scores damage on his opponent. It's Nico Price. Hammer 478 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 1: fists from the bottom, up, kicks in weird transition elbows. 479 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: It was a tough fight for a guy who I 480 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:37,959 Speaker 1: think works better against other technical fighters, but different conversations. 481 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: I asked Hi about his teeth. I was like, how 482 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: your teeth. He's like, They're okay, believe it or not. 483 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: I was like, wow, because that was terrible. All right, 484 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: So then we move on to somebody else speaking of 485 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,880 Speaker 1: leaving MMA. If it comes to that he is leaving MMA, 486 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: Kane Velaski is your former UFC heavyweight champion is done. 487 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: He has notified the UFC, he is officially retiring. He 488 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: has withdrawn from the USADA testing pool. He will, now 489 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 1: what do you want to call it?

Brian Campbell. 492 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,159 Speaker 1: He's going to face brock Lesner at the end of 493 00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 1: this month, October thirty first, in Saudi Arabia, which, by 494 00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: the way, real quickly on this one because I'm gonna 495 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: puch it to you first, that whole like, ooh, it's 496 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,120 Speaker 1: controversial to do WWE or any kind of supporting event 497 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 1: in Saudi Arabia.

They're bringing the heavy hitters 503 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: for this one, and everyone's like, yeah, we don't care 504 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 1: about that. He can ride some muses anymore. Okay, but 505 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: forget about that for just a second, because I know 506 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: Josh Was and Ruis are going to be there in December. 507 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:41,080 Speaker 1: What do you want to say about the MA legacy? 508 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 2: First, I want to pause and say it's pretty remarkable 509 00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 2: that we're in this third boom period of pro wrestling 510 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: and everything's hot right now, and pre wrestling made it 511 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,760 Speaker 2: into this rundown on this week's show. I never thought 512 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:50,239 Speaker 2: we'd see that. 513 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: Well, I came here from the here's the thing, and 514 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 1: I'm doing a bit. I don't know what to say 515 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: about on the pre wrestling side, but there is an 516 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,760 Speaker 1: MMA conversation to be all right, you can have whatever, 517 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: say what you want. What's what's the big takeaway? 518 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 2: The big tape away for me is morse about what 519 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 2: could have been. And you could say, look, he's thirty seven. 520 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 2: We may have already known what wasn't gonna be because 521 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: of the consistent injury streak. But I still believed. I 522 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 2: still believe that what I saw in his absolute prime 523 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 2: before that, or really in the midst of that insane 524 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 2: stretch of one injury after another that pulled him out 525 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 2: of the cage, is the best heavyweight fighter I've ever seen. 526 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,639 Speaker 2: And I know we're gonna lose subscriptions because peoplere gonna go, 527 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,359 Speaker 2: you'd put prime Caine up against prime Fade or you. 528 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: I think maybe I even would, certainly though within the 529 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 2: UFC banner, the best heavyweight I've ever seen, better than Katura, 530 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 2: better than the Ocic, maybe better than Cormier, and we 531 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 2: never saw him get to really show that. And it 532 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,280 Speaker 2: was the injuries, it was the layoffs. Look, he's had 533 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 2: three fights in six years. I mean, we really have 534 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 2: to remember that if you go back and actually do 535 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 2: the math and look at the stretch like miss thirteen 536 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 2: months came back knocked out Travis Brown, missed thirty three months, 537 00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 2: comes back, and then we know the sort of heartbreaking 538 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 2: for Kane way that he lost at Gono before the 539 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 2: fight even started. We never really got to see. But 540 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: what's crazy is because he was so good in that 541 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 2: initial rise, running through Brock, knocking out Big Nog, just 542 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 2: really doing big things, we suspended our disbelief that this 543 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 2: wasn't going to be a tragic tail at least I did. 544 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: I mean even up to the point where just on 545 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 2: his comeback, he's thirty seven, we know had heavyweights aage late, 546 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 2: but I'm still like, don't worry, he's gonna come back. 547 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,160 Speaker 2: He's gonna figure out health, he's gonna get back in there, 548 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 2: and he's gonna show you because you can't unteach the cardio. 549 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,919 Speaker 2: He's got the wrestling and he's tough as nails. But 550 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: we never got there. And he's a two time UFC 551 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 2: heavyweight champions. So this isn't a sob story. This isn't 552 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: a tragic story. This isn't somebody that partied their way 553 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: out of their legacy. But look, you can't sit here 554 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 2: and tell me he didn't show you in that brief 555 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 2: prime he was special. He was certainly next next level 556 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 2: and still gonna be an all time great, gonna probably 557 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:44,000 Speaker 2: make the UFC Hall of Fame, all that good stuff. 558 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: And from a personal standpoint, now he can put the 559 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: heartbreak in the injuries to side, make a ton of 560 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 2: money because wrestling is hot and he had multiple suitors. 561 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,400 Speaker 2: Ww threw a crapload of multi year money at him, 562 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 2: and now he could be in a script environment. Sure 563 00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 2: they don't script in the injuries, in the in the 564 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 2: tragic heartbreak, but for me as a fan, for me 565 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 2: as somebody who rates legacies, this is a. 566 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 1: Tough pill swamp quickly. How much do you think he's making. 567 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: It's hard to say. I haven't dug too deep the 568 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: dirt sheets, but considering the competition, aw which just launches 569 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 2: a rival to WWE right now, they were after him, dude, 570 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,719 Speaker 2: Japan was after him, so I'd have to think it 571 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,960 Speaker 2: was just an offer he couldn't refuse, which ten million 572 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 2: not that high, but in the millions, I've enough for 573 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 2: him to say, why am I going to go through 574 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: these training camps, get these injuries, potentially get these losses. 575 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 2: I mean, look, one thing, I'll say, the heartbreak he 576 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 2: must have endured while going through this, that must have 577 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: been hell. Yeah, knowing what he brought to the table, 578 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 2: you think I'm overblown at all. Did you see the 579 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 2: same thing in him as a fighter at his friend No? 580 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,639 Speaker 1: Uh, if you missed it, it's hard to explain, you know, 581 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,480 Speaker 1: if you didn't see Kane Velasquez. Here's what was so funny. 582 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,879 Speaker 1: When he retired, it made news in MMA headlines. He 583 00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: didn't make the news I thought it would, and it 584 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: kind of broke my heart to see that a little bit. 585 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: To be quite honest, dude, if you didn't see Kane 586 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 1: Velasquez as he was running through everyone, I gotta tell you. 587 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,080 Speaker 1: When he was on Bowdog Fight, I remember talking. I 588 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,439 Speaker 1: don't know if it was a crazy Bob Cook or 589 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:03,680 Speaker 1: somebody else. I remember them going, dude, this is the guy. 590 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: This is the guy. And you know this story too. 591 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: Every manager you talked to and every trainer you talked to, 592 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: they say the exact same thing. And then you watched 593 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,679 Speaker 1: them competeing You're like, maybe they were onto something. And 594 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 1: then he made his UFC debut in his third fight 595 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: and just ran through everyone like a freight train. 596 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 2: By the way, he had that he had the hidden weapon. 597 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 2: I mean he had five round heavyweight cardio, which yes, 598 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 2: is not really a thing. 599 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: And also to be to be a Mexican American. And 600 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: here's what I want to explain to people. When he 601 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: beat brock Lesnar a UFC one twenty one in Anaheim, 602 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 1: you can go see reaction shots of it on the internet. 603 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: It was akin to imagine if Yeah, it was like 604 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,439 Speaker 1: when it was like when Attasanya beat Whitaker, except imagine 605 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: everyone was on Atasanya side. It was a little bit, 606 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 1: I dare say, of McGregor beating Aldo, where you had 607 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: this reigning king, not in the same way that Aldo was, 608 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,479 Speaker 1: but somebody holding a title and then this young upstart 609 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: challenger not really beating him, demolishing him. 610 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,359 Speaker 2: And talk about narratives, let's remember this narrative when Lesnard 611 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: beat Shankar and came back from the deep dark depths 612 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:04,240 Speaker 2: of Hell and UFC one sixteen, he became for a 613 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 2: brief period of folk Caro in an MMA. It was 614 00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: like it was one of those marble walks into the 615 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: sport when is the heavyweight title in this sport fight 616 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: or whatever, and then just walk like gets up from 617 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 2: hell against this beast and Carwin, who he didn't really know, 618 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: had one round ped Cardio at that point. Possibly don't 619 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,920 Speaker 2: assume me, but you get my point. I came into 620 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: that fight going, yeah, Brock will figure it out, He'll 621 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 2: find a way, and then you get that sober reality 622 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 2: and it was never this guy has no flaws. 623 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, and it was never close. And then to look 624 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: in the crowd and to see all the Chicano and 625 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: Hispanic Americans bringing the house down. You thought. At the 626 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: same time, when when is he just beat Whitaker? You thought, wow, dude, 627 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 1: he's about to He's about to do amazing things in 628 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,399 Speaker 1: the sport. When Vigregor beat Aldo, same thing, You're like, 629 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: oh my god, this is a this is the takeover. 630 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,640 Speaker 1: That is where Kane Velasquez was. And don't get me wrong, 631 00:25:47,680 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 1: the most important fights he had in his career were 632 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: the trilogies. Obviously with JDS, but again on that big stage. 633 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 1: He gets knocked out with you know, because of injury, 634 00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: but he didn't deliver on Big Fox, and then he 635 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:01,679 Speaker 1: goes away because of all these injuries. I remember, I 636 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 1: got so nervous after this one when he beat Brock. 637 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: I remember it was Dave Meltzer out of Yahoo reporting 638 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: he had torn his labor m and his rotator cuff. 639 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: I had just had not too long before that laboram 640 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: surgery in my shoulder, and I remember, dude, it took 641 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: me a full year before I felt like myself again. 642 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: I was aggressively rehabbing three times a week. I was like, dude, 643 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: he's going to be gone for a while. Sure enough, 644 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: he was gone for over a year, and then constant 645 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: other injuries all the time. All this is to say, 646 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 1: if you're a superstar, you have two periods in your career. 647 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 1: Brian Campbell, one is your race to the title and 648 00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,760 Speaker 1: one is what you do with it. And that first 649 00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: period flawless. The second period had its bright spots, but 650 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 1: it did not deliver on the promise. And it's unfortunate 651 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: because he looked to have all the things you want 652 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:46,560 Speaker 1: to fight it out. 653 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 2: And if you're going to be completely protective of his legacy, 654 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,639 Speaker 2: if you're some kind of super fan, I mean, you 655 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 2: can almost argue away the two losses in his prime, 656 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 2: the JDS loss on Big Fox. He had a big 657 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 2: time injury coming into that. I know, so did Junior 658 00:26:57,520 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 2: as well, But that was sort of almost flucish in 659 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,200 Speaker 2: the way it ended. And then the Sea level Caine 660 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 2: moment against Verdunm. Yeah he got his ass kicked, but 661 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 2: it's certainly coming off a really long lay playoff at 662 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 2: that point, wasn't the full on prime active version. And 663 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:12,919 Speaker 2: that guy never came back. And when you consider that 664 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: Daniel Cormier, now one of the greatest of all time, 665 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 2: being the best friend ever apparently or maybe being a 666 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 2: shrewd businessman by the way, moved to another division to 667 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 2: allow this guy to ragin because he would say in interviews, yeah, 668 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: we wrestle every day, and that guy kicks my ass. 669 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 2: I mean, what could have. 670 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 1: Been Luke also lasting on this to have a heavyweight now, 671 00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 1: people tried to make it Chris Areola, but it really wasn't. 672 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: When kve Alaskas again after beating brock Lesner to have 673 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: a Mexican again, a Mexican American whatever you want to 674 00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: call him, champion at heavyweight, dude, he was a unicorn. 675 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: He was a total and complete unicorn. The UFC must 676 00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: have thought, oh my god, we hit Peter. We're gonna 677 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 1: take this guy to Mexico. We're gonna open that market. 678 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 1: We're going to capture this Hispanic origin audience, whether they 679 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: speak Spanish or whether they don't. We're going to cross worlds, 680 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: the promise he's gonna be Ohofice, and they took him 681 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: down there to Mexico and he couldn't make it the 682 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: first time out, and then when they finally did, he lost. 683 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: That's it's just so crazy. 684 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,679 Speaker 2: That's why there wasn't big fan fair when he retired. 685 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 2: He never had that true charisma. It's what makes people 686 00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 2: question post the fans who got here after McGregor and Rausi. 687 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,000 Speaker 2: They don't understand King Velaski's at all, and he certainly 688 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 2: never lived up to what he could have been as 689 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,680 Speaker 2: a superstar. Didn't own the moment with the microphone, which 690 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,719 Speaker 2: makes you question him. Going to wrestling, we find out 691 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,040 Speaker 2: he's a natural. He can do moves in a wrestling 692 00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 2: ring that smaller lucid doors can do. That's why he's 693 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 2: going to have a chance at lasting. But look, I 694 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,000 Speaker 2: know that we don't talk wrestling on the show. So 695 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 2: here's my big moment. 696 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. 697 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 2: Okay, we the people shout out to Jake Hager. 698 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,000 Speaker 1: There, but are you rock hard with him? 699 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? I got a Phon. 700 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 1: Just like, by the way, I went back and listen 701 00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 1: to that. He never said Phoner, he said straight up Boner. No, 702 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 1: he said Phoner. Dude, we look up. We played it 703 00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: on my radio show. He flat out said Boner. He said, Boner. 704 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:52,600 Speaker 2: Shout out to Jake Hager on that way. So as 705 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 2: it pertains to wrestling, because we're never ever going to 706 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,320 Speaker 2: have this chance again because you'll donk me out of 707 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: this shows, Well, yes, will you care?

But that's creative matchmaking that doesn't necessarily suck, right, 713 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:16,400 Speaker 2: Would you care at all? Which to see what happened, 714 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: to watch it, to watch a stream, to cross streams, 715 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 2: to do anything. 716 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: Involving I'd rather watch my family killed in front of me. 717 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,480 Speaker 1: You don't mean that, No, No, I absolutely mean that. 718 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 1: You're like, oh, you're not a wrestling fan.

I don't know if you saw him shirtless. 729 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 2: He probably wants to hit the gym with the Brown 730 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 2: Pride tap before you. 731 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 1: Are you really gonna are you gonna have body shamee? 732 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: Because you know Vince McMahon sitting there going, hey, buddy, 733 00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:55,479 Speaker 2: let's can we can we get on can we get 734 00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 2: some candy for further the big man?

People 739 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 2: are gonna kind of care about this. 740 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 1: I'm not dude. I hope he's successful. I'm not anyway, 741 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's not for me, you're asking is 742 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: it for me? No, it's not for me. But if dude, 743 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: if it, like, is that pay per view going to like, well, 744 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: I guess they don't want to sell it to the 745 00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:21,560 Speaker 1: MSOs anymore. But is it going to be highly watched? 746 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: I suspect that it will be, right, isn't Brock still hot? 747 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 2: Yeah? 748 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,480 Speaker 1: Not Howzie once was, but still relevant and you got the. 749 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 2: Tyson Fury element, by the way. But going to Saudi, 750 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 2: I think with the boxing match going there, it's kind 751 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,240 Speaker 2: of allowed people to take a step back and it's 752 00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 2: now becoming normal. 753 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's also. 754 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: Because WWE was shameless and they're doing it like they 755 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,080 Speaker 2: were just straight up like this. 756 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: Is I'm surprised they didn't have beheadings in between matches 757 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: to appease the Saudi government. 758 00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 2: It's like when you're in grade school and you sleep 759 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 2: over somebody's house and you're like, wait, your mom, dad, 760 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 2: and your dad's girlfriend will live under the same roof 761 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 2: and it's cool, and they're like, yeah, it's cool. Like 762 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 2: that's just basically what they're potly presenting to us. And 763 00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:57,000 Speaker 2: after a while, I think the same thing with it. 764 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: You know, the steroid users in baseball. Look that have 765 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 2: admitted it, right, and Tiombi's the Pettitts. We're just like 766 00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:05,080 Speaker 2: the good dudes. They're good folks. But it's like the diehards, 767 00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 2: the Maguires and the others who just won't, like, won't 768 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 2: do it, won't. 769 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: Lamar eventually admitted it. 770 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:09,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, I probably did. 771 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 1: All right. Let's talk about one of the other events 772 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: that happened over the weekend. It was one century. Did 773 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 1: you watch it? 774 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 2: Pieces? 775 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 1: Pieces? Okay, same thing pieces for me. There were some 776 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:20,480 Speaker 1: bright spots, but it was a lot of I watched 777 00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,800 Speaker 1: the Brandon verified that was really good, and I watched 778 00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 1: the Demitrious Johnson fight and he looked amazing, capturing a 779 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: title the whole nine yards. And so there was something 780 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: that I saw pop up on Twitter if I may, 781 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: Bryan Campbell, which was in capturing the one championship flyweight 782 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: Grand Prix titles. You see the belt, by the way, 783 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: the belt is as big as he is is. Now 784 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:39,480 Speaker 1: that's the UFC belt. The US Sea Belt, which by 785 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: the way, I think is big, is modest by comparison. 786 00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: Get Jay in the back. Can we get updated photos here? 787 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: This thing was enormous in any event the question is 788 00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,600 Speaker 1: does he belong still in the pound for pound debate? 789 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm going to say, I want to pause you and 790 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 2: ask you a qualifying question. Please do when you say 791 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 2: pound for pound debate, do you mean pound for pound 792 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 2: top ten fighters in the world or do you mean 793 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 2: pound for pound king number one? 794 00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:03,080 Speaker 1: I don't understand the difference number one. 795 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 2: He ranks in the top does from moving from UFC 796 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 2: to one and kind of going off our radar. Does 797 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 2: Demetrius still belong in the race for the pomp for 798 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 2: pound king? Or is he still should be? He still 799 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:13,800 Speaker 2: be considered a top ten? 800 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know how you could possibly take him 801 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 1: out of the top ten. However, should he be long 802 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: number one? That's the one that I saw people saying, like, 803 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: he clearly deserves to be king. I think if you 804 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,000 Speaker 1: took him out of the top ten, you would be 805 00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 1: just disqualifying yourself from this conversation. That is a that's 806 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,120 Speaker 1: just a given right. He's only been in one for 807 00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,280 Speaker 1: what about a year or so. I didn't frankly, I 808 00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 1: didn't think he lost the rematch to Henry Shudo. To 809 00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: be honest with you, that can we put those cards 810 00:32:38,160 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 1: on the table, right I understand you have to respect 811 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,960 Speaker 1: the decision. And then what he did against Dilashaw and 812 00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: then especially what he did against one of Marish has 813 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: been so impressive by Henry so Hudo, the absolutely have 814 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 1: earned everyone's respect. By now. 815 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 5: I thought Mighty Mouse won that rematch. To be those 816 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,240 Speaker 5: three judges are who we blame for this triple scringerra 817 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:53,920 Speaker 5: right now going on and maybe. 818 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,240 Speaker 1: So, but here's the point. Maybe two of the opponents 819 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:56,880 Speaker 1: he's beaten in. 820 00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 2: One Yeah, that's the problem. 821 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:02,080 Speaker 1: Right, he's beaten three guys in a row without Wikipedia entries. 822 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 1: That's not an exaggeration. 823 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:04,800 Speaker 2: They come the Mendoza the line here, I'm trying to 824 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 2: decide somebody. 825 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,080 Speaker 1: Well again, here's here's the issue. What you don't want 826 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,320 Speaker 1: to do is you don't want to recreate the old 827 00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,680 Speaker 1: Strike Force debate, which is either it's UFC or it's trash. 828 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: And then you see all the Strike Force and WEC 829 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,120 Speaker 1: guys come over and they are wrecking shop. And to 830 00:33:18,240 --> 00:33:21,200 Speaker 1: be clear, some of these one guys could come over 831 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:24,240 Speaker 1: and absolutely beat UFC fighters, and some of them could 832 00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 1: and probably will come over and contend for titles. Bibiano Fernandez, 833 00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: I think who's their champion could have easily won maybe 834 00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: or something contended for a UFC bantamweight title. So this 835 00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 1: is not what I'm saying. At the same time, I 836 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,280 Speaker 1: watch a lot of fights. I've been watching fights a 837 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,720 Speaker 1: long time. I think the fighters, the Danny King Gods, 838 00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,080 Speaker 1: the guy he beat over the weekend, the yu Yo 839 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:45,360 Speaker 1: wakamatsus and the tatsu meetsu watas Wow, all right. I 840 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,320 Speaker 1: think that these guys are talented fighters, and they're giving 841 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,440 Speaker 1: him tough outs. I don't think they're the best fighters 842 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,160 Speaker 1: in the world in that weight class, and I think 843 00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: unless you're fighting those guys, fight in and fight out 844 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,560 Speaker 1: for the most part, you can't be in contention for 845 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: number one. That doesn't mean, by the way, that he's 846 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,400 Speaker 1: not the most talented fighter still today. It's just that 847 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 1: beating those guys doesn't tell you that. 848 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,560 Speaker 2: The reason why I have you colorify that, I agree 849 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 2: he cannot be the powerful pound king anymore. It's just 850 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 2: it's the nature of the beast that it's taking a 851 00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 2: consistent step down. We think in competition it's harder to 852 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:18,600 Speaker 2: judge against. I think he's still in the middle of 853 00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 2: that top ten. He's currently not in my top ten 854 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: by the way, because I know people are gonna kill 855 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 2: me over this only because my CBS Sports they prefer 856 00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 2: to do UFC only for seo purposes. I get not 857 00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:32,439 Speaker 2: even belitur no ufcah anyone that's gonna now Google search 858 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,360 Speaker 2: and be like that Don Campbell, But he would be 859 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 2: in the middle of my top ten. But I want 860 00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:38,880 Speaker 2: to ask you this question, how this relates to what 861 00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:42,799 Speaker 2: this does to somewhat. It's not penalizing his legacy, but 862 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,560 Speaker 2: it's putting him sort of off the radar, going to one, 863 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 2: getting out of the UFC bubble, getting out of the 864 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,879 Speaker 2: mainstream American Although let's not like this was a big 865 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 2: move for one, right, Finally getting a live card on TNT, 866 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 2: which we can get into was a big move for that. 867 00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,600 Speaker 5: They're gonna make a US debut. It's not big until 868 00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,239 Speaker 5: I see the ratings, then it's big. 869 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 2: Okay, But they're gonna get there. But as of no now, 870 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,120 Speaker 2: for this year that DJ's been there, it might it 871 00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 2: might as well not be happening or happening in another world. Right, 872 00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 2: what does that do? Because I feel like it already 873 00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:10,960 Speaker 2: has dampened his career legacy, because let's be honest, before 874 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 2: the loss of Suhudo, he had rightfully, I thought entered 875 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 2: that upper room that I wass talked about, that top table, 876 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:18,239 Speaker 2: that top four or five guys, the Anderson Silva, the 877 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,399 Speaker 2: GSP of the John Jones, Cormier before maybe before the loss, 878 00:35:21,400 --> 00:35:24,240 Speaker 2: maybe still and Johnson and maybe Fador. 879 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: You get where I'm going with this. 880 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,480 Speaker 2: I feel like since he's lost that fight, which by 881 00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 2: the way, had two injuries during that fight, and I 882 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 2: thought he kind of got a screwjob on the judges 883 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:35,400 Speaker 2: and didn't get the guaranteed rematch because UFC traded him, 884 00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:37,839 Speaker 2: does this take him out of that all time great 885 00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,239 Speaker 2: conference sation just today? Does it put him down into 886 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,839 Speaker 2: that next tier of the. 887 00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,400 Speaker 1: All those the old thing. The only thing you're allowed 888 00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:47,600 Speaker 1: to do is to say, in looking at him, who 889 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 1: is he fighting? And what can we discern from that? 890 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:51,959 Speaker 1: And the reality is there's a lot of mystery around 891 00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 1: it because we don't really know. There's not enough crossover. 892 00:35:54,040 --> 00:35:56,239 Speaker 1: Folks who think one is a modern day Pride, it 893 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:58,960 Speaker 1: is not for one reason, well for many reasons. One 894 00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: of them is in the price there actually was a 895 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: little bit of crossover to be able to tell what 896 00:36:03,239 --> 00:36:05,839 Speaker 1: was happening, and it was just clear Pride had better 897 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: for a time anyway, Pride had much better talent. Obviously 898 00:36:08,360 --> 00:36:10,080 Speaker 1: they got drained out and the whole thing collapsed. But 899 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 1: this is not the same scenario, in part because there 900 00:36:13,160 --> 00:36:15,399 Speaker 1: is this sort of division and it's fireball between them, 901 00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: and in part because these guys have not faced anything 902 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,759 Speaker 1: we've ever really known to be for the most part, 903 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 1: not entirely for the most part, not a credible challenge, 904 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 1: but some kind of real discerning signpost, some kind of 905 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 1: thing you could look at and say, Aha, it's a 906 00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: real achievement. Other than now, they fought Demitriz Johnson, you 907 00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:33,399 Speaker 1: can measure them against that. I guess what I'm trying 908 00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: to say is you can say, reasonably, you're fighting these guys. 909 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,200 Speaker 1: We just can't say you're number one. But are you 910 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 1: allowed to personally believe he's the most talented fighter alive? Yes, 911 00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: you are. You are absolutely allowed. I don't think that's 912 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:50,400 Speaker 1: crazy at all. You just can't say, if you're fighting 913 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,600 Speaker 1: dudes like this, I'm the king of the world. You 914 00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 1: are removed from that conversation at that point. That's and 915 00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:59,200 Speaker 1: by the way, it's like Anderson Silva do these losses 916 00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,399 Speaker 1: take away from his legs. When you get to BJ 917 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: Penn territory and then you're outside the lava shack fighting. Well, 918 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: that's one thing that thinks. 919 00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 2: That's Roy Jones steun your territory in boxing when you 920 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:08,440 Speaker 2: get so far. 921 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: But Anderson Silva, that streak he's on is the most 922 00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,359 Speaker 1: impeccable shriek first championship fighter with this we've ever seen. 923 00:37:14,400 --> 00:37:16,279 Speaker 1: I mean, I know Demetrius Bevita, but for me, the 924 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,800 Speaker 1: anderl one's better point being is at middleweight ad middlewight. 925 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 1: How about that. That's the most impeccable thing we've ever 926 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,560 Speaker 1: seen in that division. You can't take that away from him. 927 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,040 Speaker 2: That's what's interesting about this upper room debate. I look, 928 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 2: it's highly nerdy. This is next level nerdy. 929 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:28,680 Speaker 1: Oh it's super nerdy. 930 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,560 Speaker 2: Fill some podcast time. But some people get there and 931 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:33,880 Speaker 2: it's concrete forever. Anderson Silva is a good example. You 932 00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,840 Speaker 2: can almost do nothing short of losing ten in a 933 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:37,960 Speaker 2: row B J. Penn style to get yourself out of it. 934 00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,280 Speaker 2: But sometimes when someone enters it under a hipster debate, 935 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:42,960 Speaker 2: which Johnson at that point was a little bit of 936 00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,160 Speaker 2: a hipster debate. Good lord he was. You know, we've 937 00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 2: never seen him lose since he went down to Flywood. 938 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 2: He was killing everybody was great. Yeah, I thought he 939 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:51,839 Speaker 2: deserved it. But when someone's close intentative, I feel like 940 00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,120 Speaker 2: the first chance we get to remove them from there, 941 00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 2: we do. And I feel like maybe subconsciously, we've all 942 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,439 Speaker 2: just sort of said, okay, DJ was there, Oh let's 943 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,839 Speaker 2: pull him a step down and I and I don't 944 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,520 Speaker 2: know if that's fair, but I think that's kind of 945 00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:04,920 Speaker 2: what happened. 946 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:07,400 Speaker 1: Well, look, look what's happening to Askrin. He had, he 947 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,359 Speaker 1: was undefeated before coming over to the UFC. He has 948 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: that controversial fight with all of them, obviously gets viciously 949 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,719 Speaker 1: kioed by Jorgey Masvedal. The point was, when he was 950 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:19,239 Speaker 1: over at one, the whole argument was he has not 951 00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 1: been properly measured. Now, I'm not saying that that division 952 00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:23,400 Speaker 1: at one seventy over there is the same as what 953 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,759 Speaker 1: he's fighting. Obviously in Asia you have access to a 954 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 1: much broader array of lighter weight classes. But I guess, 955 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:30,799 Speaker 1: but the point is he's come over and he has 956 00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: clearly had tougher fights right away. It's not to say 957 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: that some of those guys he fought there, couldn't come 958 00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,279 Speaker 1: over and win. It's not to say he won't be 959 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,719 Speaker 1: Demi and Maya. But here's the other point. If he 960 00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:42,440 Speaker 1: loses to Demi and Maya, which I don't know that 961 00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,880 Speaker 1: he will, but let's say that he does. Now you 962 00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,080 Speaker 1: have to reevaluate that trade as well. Who got the 963 00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,720 Speaker 1: upper end of the trade, Because when he was riding 964 00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:53,000 Speaker 1: into that Jorgey Masvedal fight, you're like, oh, man, UFC 965 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:55,080 Speaker 1: really lucked out here. I mean, one got a ton, 966 00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:57,959 Speaker 1: but UFC got someone that was much more their kind 967 00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: of guy, right with the brash loudness. He's not been 968 00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: so brashing so loud recently. And then if he goes 969 00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 1: in there and again, if he beats them, and my 970 00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,520 Speaker 1: I forget it. But if he loses, I think a 971 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,400 Speaker 1: lot of people are gonna say that trade needs to 972 00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:09,160 Speaker 1: be reevaluated. 973 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 2: It's just interesting with Demetrius, and look, this may be 974 00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,640 Speaker 2: same thing with Kane. Lasson's going to pro wrestling career 975 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 2: wise is probably the best move DJ could have done. 976 00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 2: Gonna make a lot of money, going to be able 977 00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:18,879 Speaker 2: to add on to his legacy in certain ways. Whatever 978 00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 2: he wins and the defenses he can put together with one. 979 00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 2: But as a fan, I lament his going because I 980 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,200 Speaker 2: wanted him in that greatest of all time category, because 981 00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:28,920 Speaker 2: I felt he deserved it, and I felt the way 982 00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,520 Speaker 2: he could have cemented it was to move back up 983 00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:34,680 Speaker 2: to bantamweight and take on him maybe a truly career 984 00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,360 Speaker 2: defining challenge. Look, he had done something that's super special. 985 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:39,400 Speaker 2: He had proven a UFC flyweight that he could not 986 00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 2: be beaten usually twice around for these guys. Then the 987 00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 2: loss happened. We never got to see him run that 988 00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 2: back loss, run that loss back and then move up 989 00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: and try to see how. 990 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 1: Great he can be. Yeah, well, here's the deal. He 991 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:52,360 Speaker 1: wanted to go to one, to truyt something new, to 992 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,200 Speaker 1: make some cash, to not have to deal with the 993 00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: UFC rigamarole. I'm happy for him. I think he's doing 994 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:57,719 Speaker 1: great over there. And when a title, by the way, 995 00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,520 Speaker 1: the size of a buick, So. 996 00:40:00,040 --> 00:40:01,640 Speaker 2: I wanted to shout out one because when they're in 997 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:03,400 Speaker 2: the spot, they're almost in the same spot. PFL is 998 00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,760 Speaker 2: for me, there's so much damn MMA to watch, goodlock, 999 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,040 Speaker 2: good lord, there's so much dand boxing and pro wrestling 1000 00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:08,440 Speaker 2: to watch. 1001 00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:08,719 Speaker 1: You. 1002 00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,560 Speaker 2: I sometimes don't want these things to make to force 1003 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,439 Speaker 2: me to have a reason to watch them. This one 1004 00:40:13,560 --> 00:40:15,799 Speaker 2: double card this weekend was they did get on my 1005 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 2: radar and sampling a bit, even considering the tragedy going 1006 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 2: on in Japan with the with the typhoon coming out 1007 00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:24,480 Speaker 2: and the earthquake, what we thought would be a small crowd. 1008 00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:28,800 Speaker 2: Did you hear that crowd pop with Vera Lost? Sure? 1009 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: Yes, the old thing you sing on New Year's Eve? 1010 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,040 Speaker 2: Yes, the pop was insane. 1011 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,200 Speaker 1: It was no, it's it was a big show. Well 1012 00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: I want to see that. 1013 00:40:37,960 --> 00:40:38,759 Speaker 2: Are you trying to get out here? 1014 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,200 Speaker 1: I know Jay is in my ear. All right, let's 1015 00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:41,360 Speaker 1: move on to the next one. I'll go to the 1016 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,080 Speaker 1: you first of this one if I can. Bryan Campbell. 1017 00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,319 Speaker 1: This upcoming weekend, I believe I think it's Friday, if 1018 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,960 Speaker 1: not Saturday, uh UFC Boston. They're gonna go back to Beantown, 1019 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,279 Speaker 1: the most racist city in America, and they're gonna have 1020 00:40:51,440 --> 00:40:53,319 Speaker 1: a main event. I just I just threw that inter 1021 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: to be a hater, all right, They just people are 1022 00:40:56,239 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 1: gonna get better. All right, here's the truth. Though. They're 1023 00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:00,600 Speaker 1: gonna have Chris Whyman taking on Dominic Ra in your 1024 00:41:00,600 --> 00:41:02,200 Speaker 1: main event at light heavyweight. He is moving up to 1025 00:41:02,239 --> 00:41:04,520 Speaker 1: light heavyweight. He's looking for that greatness, looking trying to 1026 00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:06,960 Speaker 1: recapture some things that have been lost since that. Well, 1027 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: a couple losses that you have in the middleway division, 1028 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:11,880 Speaker 1: most recently the Jacques Array. All right, I'll ask you, 1029 00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: Brian Campbell, what's on the line here for either gentleman? 1030 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,560 Speaker 2: Oddly enough, I think a title shot is on the 1031 00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 2: line for both, as crazy as that sounds, because if 1032 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 2: you're dom Reyis and you lose, if you win, I 1033 00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:24,440 Speaker 2: think you get a title shot. It's a thin pool 1034 00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,719 Speaker 2: at light heavyweight. The UFC does not seem ready right 1035 00:41:26,760 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 2: now to bump up a Johnny Walker to that you know, 1036 00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:30,719 Speaker 2: top five level. We're close, We're getting there. We're gonna 1037 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,879 Speaker 2: find out how great he is. But as things stand now, 1038 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:35,879 Speaker 2: we know it's been hard finding John Jones opponents. They 1039 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 2: didn't reward with a title shot, they instead put it there. 1040 00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:44,359 Speaker 2: How are we going on that pronunciation? Belkovich, Belhovich, John 1041 00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:45,920 Speaker 2: Blockowitz Blockwit. 1042 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: Yes, I am coach for dom Reyis. 1043 00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 2: This is certainly a chance to in my opinion, leap 1044 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,239 Speaker 2: over that group, get a big win over a name, 1045 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,080 Speaker 2: and if he loses it's just sort of go back 1046 00:41:57,080 --> 00:41:59,480 Speaker 2: to the drawing board. For Wideman. I think it's almost 1047 00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:01,959 Speaker 2: all or not right now. He certainly has a name 1048 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:05,080 Speaker 2: that that division lacks in terms of who can we 1049 00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,279 Speaker 2: what's a sexy B side we can keep John Jones 1050 00:42:07,280 --> 00:42:09,319 Speaker 2: busy with? Right, that's the perfect name for that. And 1051 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 2: certainly he's been going back and forth with John when 1052 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,200 Speaker 2: me sitting at home, it's going like, Chris, do you 1053 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,959 Speaker 2: really want this smoke? We're gonna find out. But there's 1054 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 2: so much Chris Widman can lose. I'm not gonna say 1055 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:19,520 Speaker 2: he's gonna lose his career with a loss here, But 1056 00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:21,879 Speaker 2: when you consider he enters this fight having lost four 1057 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:25,480 Speaker 2: out of five, all four by knockout, pretty much all 1058 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 2: of them by devastating knockout, and now moving up in division, 1059 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 2: which is somewhat somewhat can be seen as a desperate 1060 00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,279 Speaker 2: move one last chance. Well, because of the lack of 1061 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,399 Speaker 2: depth inite division, he's kind of being putting a really 1062 00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,920 Speaker 2: good opportunity here. But look, if he loses, it's over. 1063 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 2: He's thirty five years old with a name, and we 1064 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 2: figure out what's next. One. 1065 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you look at the situation with Luke Rockhold. Now 1066 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 1: he'd only lost a Blohovich, but he got his jaw broken, 1067 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,359 Speaker 1: so he had to take time out no matter what. 1068 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,200 Speaker 1: And we went over and dissected. If you look at 1069 00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 1: the Luke Rockold at Midwight, I know, making wait for 1070 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:54,000 Speaker 1: him there was hard. It's what we need more weight classes, 1071 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 1: Like in reality, there should be like a one ninety 1072 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 1: five pound weight class, because I think that'd be better 1073 00:42:58,040 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: for Luke Rockhold. But it doesn't exist to be a 1074 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,440 Speaker 1: bad idea, yeah, but I'm just saying if you were 1075 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,000 Speaker 1: to fit people to their natural space, maybe Chris Wibman 1076 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:05,600 Speaker 1: would go there too. But the thing about Luke Rocold 1077 00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:08,040 Speaker 1: was you knew that weightcut was killing him. And I 1078 00:43:08,120 --> 00:43:09,879 Speaker 1: know I've heard from Ray long ago that the weight 1079 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,799 Speaker 1: cut is hard on Chris Wiman. I don't know that. 1080 00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,840 Speaker 1: Like is yes, if you go up a weight class 1081 00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,799 Speaker 1: and you get a win like Anthony Pettis is one 1082 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:18,760 Speaker 1: seventy right for him? Is that the right weight class? 1083 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,520 Speaker 1: Not really, but he got that huge win over wonder 1084 00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:24,279 Speaker 1: Boy automatically reinvigorated, right, So it's a great thing. So 1085 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,919 Speaker 1: if he goes up there and beats Dominic Ray as 1086 00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,960 Speaker 1: Bam like you mentioned title shot, I mean the whole 1087 00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 1: new conversation about him. On the other hand, I don't 1088 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:33,799 Speaker 1: know that the weight cut was the reason why he 1089 00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: was necessarily losing. And Luke Rocold just didn't look like 1090 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:39,919 Speaker 1: himself at two of five. He looked like a much 1091 00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:43,400 Speaker 1: slower plotting kind of guy. He was flat footed, whereas he. 1092 00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:43,759 Speaker 2: Used to be. 1093 00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:48,960 Speaker 1: He looked great, he looked physically imposing, but he wasn't mobile, 1094 00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,120 Speaker 1: and being mobile with his feet was key to everything. 1095 00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:53,960 Speaker 1: At two of five he was kind of flat. So 1096 00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,480 Speaker 1: I'm wondering exactly how Chris Wiban's going to look now. 1097 00:43:56,520 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: On the bad side, Dominic Ray has had super fast 1098 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,839 Speaker 1: hands as a natural at that weight class, right, kind 1099 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:04,719 Speaker 1: of hes gonna fit real well in that space. On 1100 00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 1: the other hand, Chris Wiban is probably a better wrestler 1101 00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: and a sort of a bigger guy in terms of braun. 1102 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:12,520 Speaker 1: But the thing about it is that I'm thinking about 1103 00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:14,799 Speaker 1: who is the underdog in this fight. 1104 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,200 Speaker 2: I think I didn't see the odds, but I think 1105 00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:17,879 Speaker 2: it has to be wide. 1106 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: It's wide far, No, not by far, but he is 1107 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 1: the military. 1108 00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:23,400 Speaker 2: Dom Reis came back down to Earth against Vulcan. I 1109 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:25,480 Speaker 2: don't think he deserved that division, that decision. It was 1110 00:44:25,480 --> 00:44:28,200 Speaker 2: a close fight and it wasn't a plus performance like 1111 00:44:28,239 --> 00:44:30,200 Speaker 2: we had seen he was. He was rising, dom Res 1112 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,040 Speaker 2: was starting to show you that there's something there. He 1113 00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,800 Speaker 2: hit the skids there against Vulcan. But he's got to 1114 00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,840 Speaker 2: be a happy Favoritecausere's the thing. I think Wideman and 1115 00:44:36,920 --> 00:44:39,240 Speaker 2: Rockcold are such a natural comparison because of the rivalry, 1116 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:41,400 Speaker 2: because both late in their careers making this move up 1117 00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 2: to two of five to see what can I do here? 1118 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:44,799 Speaker 2: I think when you look at Rockhold, although he just 1119 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:46,560 Speaker 2: lost and there's a lot of questions, I think he 1120 00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 2: has that plusibility where I said to myself, Okay, I 1121 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:50,080 Speaker 2: think he could swim at to a five. I think 1122 00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:51,319 Speaker 2: he could do it. I think too, and I think 1123 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:53,800 Speaker 2: he has offense. I don't have that feeling for Wideman. 1124 00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:55,520 Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna be able to really add 1125 00:44:55,600 --> 00:44:56,839 Speaker 2: much to what he can do at to a five. 1126 00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,719 Speaker 1: Yeah. But also again going back to rock Hold, you 1127 00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:00,720 Speaker 1: thought two of five was a so loution to whatever 1128 00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,799 Speaker 1: problems he was facing. It's not clear to me that 1129 00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,279 Speaker 1: two of five is a solution to the problems that 1130 00:45:05,320 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: Wyman is facing. 1131 00:45:06,040 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 2: Even though he's big. There's deeper water there well. 1132 00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: And also again, but Rockle was dying to get to 1133 00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,040 Speaker 1: one in five. You think, okay, you lighten the load there, 1134 00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,200 Speaker 1: he'll just be more of himself. I think some of 1135 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 1: that will applyatic Chris Wyman. At the same time, you 1136 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,280 Speaker 1: fight guys who are naturally fast at that weight class. 1137 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:20,399 Speaker 1: I think it's going to be a bit of a problem. 1138 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,279 Speaker 1: He has to wrestle. I think his way to it now. 1139 00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: If he gets that win, he gets that title shot again. 1140 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: I think it could change a narrative in a number 1141 00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:29,040 Speaker 1: of different ways. Because you lose to John Jones, you 1142 00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:30,560 Speaker 1: can always write that off no big deal. 1143 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 2: But and if you don't think Don Reyes is on 1144 00:45:32,160 --> 00:45:33,799 Speaker 2: the verge of a title shot and you haven't looked 1145 00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:35,440 Speaker 2: at the rankings in a while, he's an extra in 1146 00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,759 Speaker 2: that Toyot Tires commercial. Yeah, you make it to that level. 1147 00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,480 Speaker 2: To be honest with you know, jokes aside, that means 1148 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:40,200 Speaker 2: they have plans. 1149 00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,680 Speaker 1: For Hey, Toyo Tires gave me a fresh new set 1150 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:41,960 Speaker 1: of tires. 1151 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 2: I hate did you get in the front seat? 1152 00:45:44,040 --> 00:45:45,920 Speaker 1: I did not get Gondo in the front seat. Lastly, 1153 00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,000 Speaker 1: but not leastly, you're. 1154 00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:48,680 Speaker 2: Getting monster feedback in your hair. Not to remove the 1155 00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,080 Speaker 2: fourth wall, but I can't live like, well. 1156 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,640 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the clock. We're just behind. But the 1157 00:45:51,640 --> 00:45:53,839 Speaker 1: point being is no. I but these they give us 1158 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:58,160 Speaker 1: ear pieces, they're literal hearing aids that don't work. 1159 00:45:58,160 --> 00:46:00,520 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm at a yeah, all right, all right, 1160 00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:01,080 Speaker 2: let's keep up. 1161 00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,279 Speaker 1: Last thing, but at least we'll go to you first 1162 00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,920 Speaker 1: on this one, Brian as well. Olexander Usik part of 1163 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,800 Speaker 1: that Ukrainian front across different weight classes that are tearing 1164 00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:09,680 Speaker 1: people up. He made his move to heavyweight and he 1165 00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 1: was supposed to fight one donk of that fell through 1166 00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: the was a named Batrum Tam Carlos Ta and no no, 1167 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:20,000 Speaker 1: and then it was supposed to be uh Spong. I 1168 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,920 Speaker 1: had him on my show, but then Spunk's cougar gets loose. 1169 00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 1: He gets in trouble for that. He pops positive for STUF, 1170 00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:27,000 Speaker 1: although his most recent boty test came back ling, which 1171 00:46:27,040 --> 00:46:29,320 Speaker 1: is interesting anyway, He gets yanked from the fight. He 1172 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:32,440 Speaker 1: ends up fighting Chaz Witherspoon destroys him in seven rounds. 1173 00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,479 Speaker 1: What did you think of Usik at at heavyweight? Because 1174 00:46:36,520 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: now he's the mandatory WBO challenger for the winner of 1175 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,279 Speaker 1: Ruiz and Joshua two. 1176 00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:43,440 Speaker 2: You really can't take anything from this performance exactly. Look, 1177 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,920 Speaker 2: Chaz Witherspoon is one of those opponents who can do 1178 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:48,920 Speaker 2: enough to survive, and he did for a while here, 1179 00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,600 Speaker 2: but is not impressive. And here's the thing about Usik, 1180 00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:53,719 Speaker 2: He's a Swiss Army knight for this division. He's a 1181 00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,680 Speaker 2: potential Kryptonite. He's six three. No, he doesn't have heavyweight power, 1182 00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,800 Speaker 2: but he is sort of a bigger weight version of Lomachenko, 1183 00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,320 Speaker 2: guy who he's you know, came up in the amateurs 1184 00:47:02,360 --> 00:47:04,320 Speaker 2: with and his friends with. He has the ability to 1185 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:06,480 Speaker 2: set up his punches and punch from angles and a 1186 00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,919 Speaker 2: quickness that you don't often see at heavyweight. This would 1187 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 2: have been perfect in this DIONE main event to make 1188 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,759 Speaker 2: a big splash, to grab the microphone afterwards and be like, yeah, 1189 00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:16,000 Speaker 2: I want the winner of aj Ruwiz and just this week, 1190 00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,000 Speaker 2: Usik could come out and said I want Wilder and 1191 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:20,520 Speaker 2: I'll all box him for twelve rounds. Problem is he 1192 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:24,239 Speaker 2: didn't take this platform and look spectacular. Yeah, you gotta 1193 00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,520 Speaker 2: stoppage win. Yeah he won every second in the fight. 1194 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,400 Speaker 2: Yeah he did a somewhat typical Usik performance, which is 1195 00:47:29,560 --> 00:47:31,799 Speaker 2: take two to three rounds, figure it out, and then 1196 00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:34,560 Speaker 2: walking down with those angles, throw change ups through different 1197 00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:37,839 Speaker 2: speeds and just eventually you saw the damage on Witherspoon's face. 1198 00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:39,719 Speaker 2: I did see a lot of people watch this and go, 1199 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:41,960 Speaker 2: oh man, that fights sucked. Usik's gonna suck. No way, 1200 00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:43,560 Speaker 2: He's gonna be able to fight these big guys. Look, 1201 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,960 Speaker 2: take a step back and relax on that. This guy 1202 00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,360 Speaker 2: is special, this guy has true craft. We are in 1203 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,440 Speaker 2: a division with bangers, big bangers. Tyson Fury certainly is 1204 00:47:52,480 --> 00:47:54,879 Speaker 2: a pure boxer with handspeed and can do special things 1205 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,520 Speaker 2: switch and stances and all that. But Usik is as 1206 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:00,560 Speaker 2: natural and pure as as a boxer as it comes. 1207 00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,520 Speaker 2: If he has the toughness and the chin and the backbone, which, 1208 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,600 Speaker 2: by the way, he showed in that World Boxing Super 1209 00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:10,239 Speaker 2: Serious cruiseweight tournament against a Myris Breatus, against the Gasiev 1210 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 2: big time punchers, he was able to walk through hell 1211 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:14,160 Speaker 2: in there. He's gonna be a problem for these guys. 1212 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:16,760 Speaker 2: He has the potential to disarm the big names at heavyweight. 1213 00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 2: I know everyone's gonna say, what about the size, what 1214 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 2: about the chin, let's find out. There was no chance 1215 00:48:21,160 --> 00:48:22,520 Speaker 2: we were gonna find out against the chance. 1216 00:48:22,360 --> 00:48:24,000 Speaker 1: With yeah, did he go out there and wow you? No, 1217 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:25,360 Speaker 1: he did not go out there and wow you. But 1218 00:48:25,440 --> 00:48:29,520 Speaker 1: people always get late replacement A side expectations wrong. They 1219 00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,440 Speaker 1: always think, oh, you're the A side. You're finding a 1220 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,719 Speaker 1: guy who's totally unprepared. You should go in there and 1221 00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,360 Speaker 1: just march him down, which sometimes, of course, happens a 1222 00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:38,120 Speaker 1: lot of times. We've seen it over and over with 1223 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: A sides. They're like, I don't know anything about this 1224 00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 1: guy more than I could find on YouTube for a 1225 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,120 Speaker 1: couple of days. I'm gonna be a little bit conservative 1226 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,520 Speaker 1: now I know your point. He typically reacts this way anyway, 1227 00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,080 Speaker 1: two to three rounds of fact finding before delivering on 1228 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:53,560 Speaker 1: what those facts are. But to me, it's like, would 1229 00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:55,480 Speaker 1: it be at all surprising if you find out his 1230 00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:57,440 Speaker 1: training staff said to him, we're gonna be careful in 1231 00:48:57,480 --> 00:48:59,279 Speaker 1: this one. We know we can get the finish, we 1232 00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,160 Speaker 1: know we can get the win. There is no need 1233 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,359 Speaker 1: to press the gas. And as a consequence, they're like, oh, 1234 00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:05,120 Speaker 1: we didn't look all that great. He didn't look all 1235 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,560 Speaker 1: that great. I think by design he was designed because 1236 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,200 Speaker 1: what would be the worst case outcome to lose. That 1237 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:12,200 Speaker 1: would be the one you have. 1238 00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:14,800 Speaker 2: To Let's give another outcome, say goes in there and 1239 00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:17,680 Speaker 2: destroys Witherspoon and shows every craft and tool in the book. 1240 00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,719 Speaker 2: If you're those big name heavyweights, I know you mentioned 1241 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 2: he's in line to face the winner, but the big 1242 00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,239 Speaker 2: way he name heavyweights are not going to be looking 1243 00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:25,400 Speaker 2: to fight him. This is almost perfect case scenario. The 1244 00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,239 Speaker 2: kind of move the chains and here's the deal with 1245 00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,120 Speaker 2: it was sick. He's only gonna look great when you 1246 00:49:29,320 --> 00:49:31,480 Speaker 2: come after him. Tony Bell, you did in that last 1247 00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:33,920 Speaker 2: cruiserweight fight that was on his own, USA got a 1248 00:49:34,120 --> 00:49:36,239 Speaker 2: sensational knockout that he really took a couple rounds to 1249 00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:36,520 Speaker 2: set up. 1250 00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,040 Speaker 1: He's a bit like checkly gonna. 1251 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:40,399 Speaker 2: Happen if you come after him. So if he wins 1252 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,920 Speaker 2: these big fights against the heavyweights, it's not gonna be spectacular. 1253 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:44,720 Speaker 2: It's gonna be technical, but it's going to be brilliant. 1254 00:49:44,880 --> 00:49:45,400 Speaker 2: Let's see if he. 1255 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 1: Last, but not least, he got seven or six and 1256 00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:50,480 Speaker 1: some change rounds of heavyweight activity, which I think he 1257 00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:52,759 Speaker 1: probably said, Hey, I now got some experience in this 1258 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,000 Speaker 1: weight class. I'm good to go. All right, with that 1259 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:57,000 Speaker 1: out of the way, it's time now for or you 1260 00:49:57,120 --> 00:50:01,080 Speaker 1: asked the questions stime for dms from dons. How are 1261 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:02,080 Speaker 1: your dms these days? 1262 00:50:02,719 --> 00:50:04,880 Speaker 2: Very clean? I'm a happily married man. I really have 1263 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 2: nothing to say about that. I've asked Luke Rockol about it. 1264 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 2: Won't show me the dms. I've asked Ryan Garcia about it. 1265 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:14,360 Speaker 1: You know who did show me His DMS was Colby Covington. Well, no, no, no, 1266 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,400 Speaker 1: it's not about the girls. Dude. You might realize how 1267 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:17,879 Speaker 1: many you should look at his this is true story. 1268 00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:20,200 Speaker 1: I looked at his DMS. It was like death threat 1269 00:50:20,320 --> 00:50:21,920 Speaker 1: after death threat, all the way down. 1270 00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,080 Speaker 2: Think Donald Tenimony. 1271 00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:27,560 Speaker 1: Uh, well this was pre Maga. Well this was this 1272 00:50:27,719 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: was after a braziliar, a filthy dump pre you know 1273 00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:34,600 Speaker 1: Don in the Maga hat. Yeah, it's like a lot 1274 00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,759 Speaker 1: of angry Portuguese in his DMS. Bro it was it 1275 00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:39,719 Speaker 1: was wild, all right. This comes to us first, I 1276 00:50:39,719 --> 00:50:42,480 Speaker 1: think from Melanie Darling. Yep, here we are Brian Campbell 1277 00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,080 Speaker 1: a concept for fun. The UFC doesnt all women's fight night. 1278 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,920 Speaker 1: Who would you want for the main card? Which championship 1279 00:50:48,920 --> 00:50:51,000 Speaker 1: fights would you want to see? Any active female fighters 1280 00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,520 Speaker 1: currently in the UFC is up for this fem F 1281 00:50:54,920 --> 00:50:56,960 Speaker 1: This is interesting, like, why don't you just watching Victim? 1282 00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,719 Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, why don't you all right this idea? I 1283 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,759 Speaker 2: think it's progressively time. I don't think it would be 1284 00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:05,680 Speaker 2: gimmick or cheesy. We certainly have multiple divisions in UFC, 1285 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,839 Speaker 2: We've got great names. There's plenty of fights we want 1286 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:09,480 Speaker 2: to see. This wouldn't come off as one of those 1287 00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:12,120 Speaker 2: like WWE, let's make good and have a nice public moment. 1288 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,120 Speaker 2: I think they do this, and I think I need 1289 00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:18,680 Speaker 2: noon as Chevchenko three in the main event at bantam. 1290 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,440 Speaker 2: I'd love to have JJ and a one to fifteen 1291 00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:25,799 Speaker 2: title fight in the comin Zongweili. You free, You're free, 1292 00:51:25,840 --> 00:51:27,640 Speaker 2: all right? Where else do we go from there? 1293 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:27,919 Speaker 1: Well? 1294 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:32,880 Speaker 2: Your head? You know how I want to fill out 1295 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:33,120 Speaker 2: the card. 1296 00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:34,600 Speaker 1: You know what, if you're going to do that, I 1297 00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:36,520 Speaker 1: would feel like you'd have to have ROWSI on the card. 1298 00:51:36,840 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: You gotta fighting, hold on, you got to pay the 1299 00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:40,920 Speaker 1: mighty to come back. What if it's Gina Kurana, she 1300 00:51:40,960 --> 00:51:43,359 Speaker 1: would take that fight. Hey, yeah, exactly, payer the Mighty 1301 00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:45,080 Speaker 1: to come back. It's like the person who ushered all 1302 00:51:45,120 --> 00:51:47,319 Speaker 1: this in to be a part of a one night 1303 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:50,320 Speaker 1: kind of only thing to as a as a celebration 1304 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,279 Speaker 1: of women's MMA. You don't think they could figure out 1305 00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: a way to do that. 1306 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,719 Speaker 2: Who do you think fights first? Ronda Rowsei or. 1307 00:51:55,719 --> 00:52:03,120 Speaker 1: Travis Rowsei, Travis Brown? Uh, Ronda, her services are more 1308 00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:03,520 Speaker 1: in demand. 1309 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,319 Speaker 2: That's true, that's true. Right, you would need a name 1310 00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,000 Speaker 2: to put on there, like you're not gonna get Cyborg back, 1311 00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,000 Speaker 2: but you would need sort of traction. Would have to 1312 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:13,200 Speaker 2: She's the best one. 1313 00:52:13,280 --> 00:52:15,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, a Nuna's chef, take all the champions. Basically you 1314 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,439 Speaker 1: have three of those and then you have to fill 1315 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:20,040 Speaker 1: it out with some other interesting ones. I'm not sure. 1316 00:52:20,440 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 2: I mean there's plenty of great fights. 1317 00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:24,760 Speaker 1: Does our inability to answer this question make a sexist? 1318 00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 2: No? We just supported It's not like I said, suffrage, 1319 00:52:28,480 --> 00:52:29,439 Speaker 2: good good, good lord. 1320 00:52:29,480 --> 00:52:31,240 Speaker 1: I mean come on, and the suffrage of women. 1321 00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you can be on this card and once you 1322 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:34,399 Speaker 2: serve Lucas sandwich, Like, where are. 1323 00:52:34,320 --> 00:52:35,799 Speaker 1: You going with this? Yeah? We just but we can't 1324 00:52:35,880 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 1: name anything. 1325 00:52:37,719 --> 00:52:39,320 Speaker 2: I could name plenty of look at the one fifteen 1326 00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,320 Speaker 2: top ten. I mean you know it can be tas. 1327 00:52:41,719 --> 00:52:44,520 Speaker 1: Are not inspired choices? All right, we move on. This 1328 00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 1: goes to cam Rouse ninety three. What do the UFC 1329 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:52,040 Speaker 1: do with Francis? Because what DC and Stepe are scheduled? 1330 00:52:52,120 --> 00:52:57,040 Speaker 1: And even Evan after the fight? What the fuck? After 1331 00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,000 Speaker 1: the fight he would still have to wait for the 1332 00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,480 Speaker 1: winner to recover. And what happens to the belt if 1333 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,680 Speaker 1: DC wins and retires as champ? I don't know did 1334 00:53:05,719 --> 00:53:08,080 Speaker 1: he mean, does this autocorrect? Did he mean even after 1335 00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,040 Speaker 1: the fight you have to wait to recover? Yes, okay. 1336 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:13,920 Speaker 2: He's trying to say, do you keep Frank in the 1337 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 2: bullpen to keep him fresh because he has worked himself 1338 00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 2: into another title shot, or do you keep him busy 1339 00:53:19,640 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 2: and against two? And the answer is Derek Lewis because 1340 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:24,719 Speaker 2: the first fight never really win. 1341 00:53:25,239 --> 00:53:28,040 Speaker 1: That's interesting. Now, the argument would be to counter that, 1342 00:53:28,120 --> 00:53:29,839 Speaker 1: if I could play Devil's advocate, you'd be killing off 1343 00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:30,320 Speaker 1: a contender. 1344 00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,600 Speaker 2: Lewis is, if we're really being honest, no longer a 1345 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:34,320 Speaker 2: title contender. 1346 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:36,480 Speaker 1: Wow, that's a bold clam Brian Campbell, I mean it's 1347 00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:37,680 Speaker 1: true he came back from Jamaica. 1348 00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 2: Just I'm ready, all right, you'd have to give on 1349 00:53:42,280 --> 00:53:45,160 Speaker 2: gana quasi main event title money and just say, okay, 1350 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,239 Speaker 2: we're gonna keep you busy here, go out improve what 1351 00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 2: you didn't prove the first time. 1352 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,960 Speaker 1: So I think if DC wins then gives the title up. 1353 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,239 Speaker 1: I think you do the steep A France's rematch. That 1354 00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,080 Speaker 1: is true, that that would be because because yes, you 1355 00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:01,279 Speaker 1: would still favorite step A probably, But Francis is also 1356 00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:03,080 Speaker 1: a different fighter since then. I think he's recovered to 1357 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 1: a degree. But you're right, any of those mishaps against 1358 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:09,120 Speaker 1: Lewis or not mishaps, but the losses against well, okay, 1359 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,920 Speaker 1: it was a mishap against Lewis, but Lewis or Steve Pennus, we're. 1360 00:54:11,880 --> 00:54:13,319 Speaker 2: J yester, Now was it coming off of loss? 1361 00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, didn't he lose to Francis? Didn't lose the big 1362 00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:22,200 Speaker 1: Francis anyway, all right, this is from in my eighty two. 1363 00:54:23,640 --> 00:54:26,560 Speaker 1: What should be JJ centered fighters like Cron and Brian 1364 00:54:26,680 --> 00:54:29,640 Speaker 1: Ortega focus on improving their striking or takedowns. 1365 00:54:29,719 --> 00:54:33,239 Speaker 2: Brian Campbell both would be ideal. No. 1366 00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,880 Speaker 1: No, Brian Campbell thinks that Cron Grace is a finished 1367 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,480 Speaker 1: product who has nothing more. 1368 00:54:38,400 --> 00:54:40,400 Speaker 2: Showed you a big bag. He showed you I'm gonna. 1369 00:54:40,200 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 1: Get That's great. That's not how you win fight. It's 1370 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:42,160 Speaker 1: quite evidently. 1371 00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,319 Speaker 2: Well, he's an artist. He's not really a fighter. I mean, 1372 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:45,520 Speaker 2: he's a gracie, you know what I mean. He's probably 1373 00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:46,879 Speaker 2: outserfing right now. You don't care what you think. 1374 00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:49,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, Conry Gray is getting his black belt, by the way, 1375 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:50,880 Speaker 1: But I mean, look. 1376 00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:52,759 Speaker 2: You can argue in both directions. I would want a 1377 00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:54,120 Speaker 2: god to be able to strike, and I think you 1378 00:54:54,200 --> 00:54:56,240 Speaker 2: give or take a lot of credit. He evolved quickly 1379 00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:58,359 Speaker 2: in that when we had those original questions of well, 1380 00:54:58,400 --> 00:55:01,160 Speaker 2: you're fantastic on the ground, Well, you're training halle Berry 1381 00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 2: for a movie off side. You know, you know I'm 1382 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,719 Speaker 2: going with that. But can can And he's come back 1383 00:55:05,719 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 2: and he's proved I can smash it with my fists, 1384 00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:08,359 Speaker 2: and I might. 1385 00:55:08,560 --> 00:55:12,680 Speaker 1: I might be on the sete fuck out. You are 1386 00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:16,680 Speaker 1: a disturbed individual. Well, Brian, don't take a has good striking. 1387 00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:20,120 Speaker 1: Now he has, We're like, oh, we lost a Max. Okay, 1388 00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:22,160 Speaker 1: we lost a Max for crying out loud. Max is 1389 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:24,640 Speaker 1: a very good striker. What she knows about Brown Don't 1390 00:55:24,640 --> 00:55:27,960 Speaker 1: take a striking is when it's offensive, it's good. It's 1391 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,720 Speaker 1: just that there's defensive issues to it. But that typically happens. 1392 00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:35,719 Speaker 1: Brian Campbell as just as they mature, like as they 1393 00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:37,400 Speaker 1: get better. You'll notice we talked about you want to 1394 00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:39,759 Speaker 1: get you check and dissected, like she's she was in 1395 00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:41,360 Speaker 1: a comp striker before she got to the UFC. But 1396 00:55:41,400 --> 00:55:43,279 Speaker 1: to me, she has a little bit more defensive sensibility. 1397 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,840 Speaker 1: She gets hit way less than she hands out punishment. 1398 00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:49,120 Speaker 1: And so to me, it's like, or take us already 1399 00:55:49,160 --> 00:55:51,239 Speaker 1: on the path, Like, just give him time, give him 1400 00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,719 Speaker 1: the right matchmaking. This one against chance On Jung is phenomenal. Right, Uh, 1401 00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:57,200 Speaker 1: his defense should come along if he keeps going the 1402 00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,879 Speaker 1: way he's going for Crone, It's like it's the Ryan 1403 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,239 Speaker 1: Hall question again. It's like, well, Ryan Hall, by the 1404 00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:04,280 Speaker 1: way he does train wrestling, actually ended a freestyle tournament 1405 00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:06,960 Speaker 1: in Canada years ago. But the key for that is 1406 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:10,680 Speaker 1: he basically said himself, Look, I'm not gonna out wrestle 1407 00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:12,800 Speaker 1: these dogs at one forty five. I'm basically not. So 1408 00:56:12,840 --> 00:56:15,120 Speaker 1: he's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna find unorthodox entries 1409 00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,279 Speaker 1: which set me up for my kind of submissions. And 1410 00:56:17,360 --> 00:56:19,400 Speaker 1: then we're on the feet. I'm gonna play distance and 1411 00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:21,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna make you wary of me at all times 1412 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 1: through contact and I'm gonna set you on fire at 1413 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,400 Speaker 1: kickboxing range. I don't know what Krone needs to do. 1414 00:56:26,680 --> 00:56:28,879 Speaker 1: It's a question of how he wants to fight. If 1415 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:30,400 Speaker 1: you think he can build on the striking, and I 1416 00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,520 Speaker 1: think he can build on the striking, that's the way 1417 00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:32,719 Speaker 1: to go. 1418 00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 2: Chrone could. If he can work the striking thing out, 1419 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,320 Speaker 2: he can begin to lull people where they're gonna go striker. 1420 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:42,000 Speaker 1: You're misinterpreting me. My only argument about Crone is if 1421 00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:45,320 Speaker 1: he decides to not do anything, his limits are pretty noable. 1422 00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:48,520 Speaker 1: If he decides to do something, he can be incredibly. 1423 00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:49,640 Speaker 1: He can be a championship contender. 1424 00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,760 Speaker 2: And by the way, go back and watch Ortega Holloway. 1425 00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,279 Speaker 2: I know Brian Ortega's face fell apart, and I know 1426 00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:56,880 Speaker 2: Max was willing to walk through hell with him. Ortego 1427 00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,920 Speaker 2: was coming on with the hands, he was coming up. 1428 00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:00,799 Speaker 1: In the third round, Yes, coming on in the fourth 1429 00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:02,680 Speaker 1: round though, he was just getting eaten alive. But in 1430 00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,239 Speaker 1: that third round, you're right, he was turning back. He 1431 00:57:04,400 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 1: arguably lost that round Max did. But again it's a 1432 00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: question of what do they need to improve. Well, you 1433 00:57:09,239 --> 00:57:11,200 Speaker 1: can improve everything, but you have a limited amount of 1434 00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:12,960 Speaker 1: time and you have to figure out what you want 1435 00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:14,480 Speaker 1: to do. The question is how do you want to fight? 1436 00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 1: How do you want to fight? And then make some choices. 1437 00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:21,440 Speaker 1: All right, this comes to us from spatial analysis Brian Campbell. 1438 00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:24,400 Speaker 1: Do you think a UFC or any other promotion has 1439 00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:27,240 Speaker 1: the obligation to step in and stop the fight? Well, 1440 00:57:27,280 --> 00:57:29,720 Speaker 1: we're gonna do this on odds and ends. We'll do 1441 00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:32,080 Speaker 1: it now. Step in and stop the fight when the 1442 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: referee is clearly unable to see or understand the circumstances 1443 00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:35,960 Speaker 1: and inside the case. Let me set this up, if 1444 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: I may so. I looked this up. I think the 1445 00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,520 Speaker 1: guy's name was Andrew glenn Is the referee. They're talking 1446 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: about the Mike Davis Thomas Gifford fight, which took place 1447 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 1: on the prelimbs of the UFC Tampa card. If you 1448 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,680 Speaker 1: guys didn't see, here's how it went. Mike Davis beat 1449 00:57:49,360 --> 00:57:52,560 Speaker 1: Thomas Gifford from pillar to post in all three round. 1450 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:55,440 Speaker 2: It took about three minutes for the announcers and everyone 1451 00:57:55,480 --> 00:57:57,520 Speaker 2: watching at home to realize that this was going to 1452 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,120 Speaker 2: end badly. This is completely one sided, Dave, and this 1453 00:58:00,240 --> 00:58:00,919 Speaker 2: is lighting him. 1454 00:58:00,840 --> 00:58:02,840 Speaker 1: Up at Will and Trevor Whitman made a good observation, 1455 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,919 Speaker 1: which is that when you get hit and it looks 1456 00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: like you have a loose neck where it pops like that, 1457 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:09,920 Speaker 1: that's when the ones are really landing. Michael Bisping, to 1458 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,720 Speaker 1: his credit, the entire time, was alarmed by the whole thing. 1459 00:58:12,800 --> 00:58:15,040 Speaker 1: That referee Andrew Glenn was supposed to out if he 1460 00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:16,840 Speaker 1: knows Brian Cambill supposed to referee later in the night 1461 00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 1: and got pulled because of what a bad job he did. 1462 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,520 Speaker 1: It was unconscionable. I have a lot of ideas about 1463 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:23,880 Speaker 1: this one. I'll let you go first. 1464 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:28,960 Speaker 2: Uh yeah, this look one thing boxing. Boxing's got a 1465 00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,640 Speaker 2: lot of problems and people are getting hurt left and right. 1466 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:31,960 Speaker 2: We're gona talk about on the show, and we just 1467 00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:34,320 Speaker 2: had a couple of deaths recently. But boxing's starting to 1468 00:58:34,360 --> 00:58:36,560 Speaker 2: realize a little bit more. You see much more towels 1469 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,640 Speaker 2: being thrown in boxing than you do an MMA, and 1470 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:41,800 Speaker 2: you see much more. Hey, I know you're not on 1471 00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:43,760 Speaker 2: the verge of getting stopped here, but we're gonna jump 1472 00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:45,440 Speaker 2: in and stop it. You've taken too much punishment. I 1473 00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:48,000 Speaker 2: don't see that at MMA into MMA's I guess credit 1474 00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:51,160 Speaker 2: or luck that obviously doesn't have the same in terms 1475 00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:54,160 Speaker 2: of long term really bad situations of debts in the 1476 00:58:54,240 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 2: cage or right after, but moments like this are gonna 1477 00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,920 Speaker 2: get us closer to it, and you not only have 1478 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,400 Speaker 2: to rag on the reft on the coach for continuing. 1479 00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,720 Speaker 2: So here's the deal. Gifford show insane Heart, And the 1480 00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:06,680 Speaker 2: thing was he would get lit up with five six 1481 00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,320 Speaker 2: punch combinations in which you're thinking that would knock out 1482 00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 2: anybody else, and then he'd almost look like he was 1483 00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,520 Speaker 2: back in, not back in the fight, almost winning it, 1484 00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:16,040 Speaker 2: but back in attempting some kind of takedown or some 1485 00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 2: comment submission, which unfortunately gave him more life. Yes, I 1486 00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,400 Speaker 2: feel like the commission needs to step in in those 1487 00:59:22,440 --> 00:59:24,800 Speaker 2: type of moments. If the referee is either not noticing 1488 00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,160 Speaker 2: or doesn't have or doesn't isn't perceiving what we're watching 1489 00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:30,680 Speaker 2: at home, there needs to be an adult in the room. 1490 00:59:30,920 --> 00:59:32,480 Speaker 2: We're seeing this in boxing. I don't know if you 1491 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 2: saw the first Deontay Wilder Louis Ortiz fight they're gonna 1492 00:59:34,840 --> 00:59:37,880 Speaker 2: be rematching November twenty third. One of the big issues 1493 00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:40,200 Speaker 2: in that fight was after Wilder got knocked around in 1494 00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,840 Speaker 2: round seven, and almost dropped and stopped. They stopped the 1495 00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 2: start of round day and did a health check on him, 1496 00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:46,600 Speaker 2: and it took about thirty seconds. The doctor came in, 1497 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:48,560 Speaker 2: crowds booing saying what do you do? And you're giving 1498 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 2: the bigger name fight or a chance to recover. But 1499 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:53,280 Speaker 2: that was a New York Commission changed to the rules 1500 00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:55,760 Speaker 2: so they didn't have another Magamet situation where where you 1501 00:59:55,880 --> 00:59:58,120 Speaker 2: have you know, some real tragedies in the ring. I 1502 00:59:58,160 --> 01:00:01,960 Speaker 2: think it's time to u I don't think that ruins 1503 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,480 Speaker 2: the sport or takes from it when it's so obvious 1504 01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,080 Speaker 2: that someone's one side and is not going to win 1505 01:00:06,120 --> 01:00:06,360 Speaker 2: this fight. 1506 01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:08,120 Speaker 1: Here is where we are on this one, and this 1507 01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:09,760 Speaker 1: is the thing that everyone needs to wake up to. 1508 01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 1: We are in a place where a guy like this 1509 01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:16,600 Speaker 1: can fight in the UFC. The commentator knows it's messed up, 1510 01:00:16,640 --> 01:00:17,920 Speaker 1: by the way, it wasn't just Michael Bess being it 1511 01:00:17,960 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 1: was Trevor Whitman as well. The audience at home knows 1512 01:00:21,560 --> 01:00:24,440 Speaker 1: it's messed up. The commission knows it's messed up because 1513 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: they removed the referee from ever being involved in that 1514 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,240 Speaker 1: fight night again, so even they clearly were alarmed by 1515 01:00:30,280 --> 01:00:33,760 Speaker 1: his behavior, and yet I've not spoken to Mark Montoya. 1516 01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get him on my radio show today. 1517 01:00:35,280 --> 01:00:39,439 Speaker 1: We'll see how that goes. They didn't do anything, his father, 1518 01:00:39,600 --> 01:00:42,160 Speaker 1: didn't do anything. The fighter himself. I don't know what 1519 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:46,720 Speaker 1: you expect, which all tells you one thing. Someone's going 1520 01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 1: to have to die before anything changes. And I hate 1521 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,960 Speaker 1: to put it in those terms, but you cannot rationally 1522 01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:56,880 Speaker 1: convince these coaches or anybody else who is involved in 1523 01:00:56,920 --> 01:00:58,600 Speaker 1: one of these situations, anyone wrong. You go back to 1524 01:00:58,600 --> 01:01:01,960 Speaker 1: the Raquel Pennington situation. She literally turns to her corner 1525 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,200 Speaker 1: and says, I quit, I'm done right, and they put 1526 01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:07,880 Speaker 1: her back out there. She gets her nose broken, and 1527 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,640 Speaker 1: then she loses. And then they go on a media 1528 01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:12,240 Speaker 1: tour right after that and say, no, no, no, we 1529 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:15,400 Speaker 1: understand the fighter better. If you understand the fighter better, 1530 01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,920 Speaker 1: you are actually, in some ways a worse position because 1531 01:01:19,560 --> 01:01:23,600 Speaker 1: you have this irrational belief in their upside. You were like, 1532 01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:25,440 Speaker 1: and you love a person so much, you think so 1533 01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,040 Speaker 1: highly of them, you cannot soberly clearly, you cannot soberly 1534 01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:33,360 Speaker 1: assess what they're capable of doing. Now, Mark Montoya, is 1535 01:01:33,560 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 1: I have such high respect for him. I hope to 1536 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,000 Speaker 1: get a chance to talk to him later. 1537 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:37,960 Speaker 2: This is the point. 1538 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 1: I've talked to Brandon Gibson about this too. There's a 1539 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 1: couple he wants back. You talk to Greg Jackson. There's 1540 01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:43,760 Speaker 1: a couple of times they didn't stop a fight. They 1541 01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,320 Speaker 1: want one back. I suspect over time Mark Montoya will 1542 01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: come to that because he's smart and he's rational. This 1543 01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:51,320 Speaker 1: is the other thing to consider, Brian. It's not bad 1544 01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,800 Speaker 1: coaches who are doing this, it's the very best ones. 1545 01:01:55,400 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Brandon Gibson is one of our very best coaches. Mark 1546 01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:00,840 Speaker 1: Montoya is one of our very best coaches. If even 1547 01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 1: they aren't doing this, what that tells you is there 1548 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 1: is a massive, massive culture problem that we have that 1549 01:02:07,920 --> 01:02:11,480 Speaker 1: will not be remedied until tragedy strikes. That is exactly 1550 01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:12,320 Speaker 1: where we arecome. 1551 01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 2: Like fathers, and in boxing you have a lot of 1552 01:02:14,480 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 2: actual father son combinations, and the fathers can be the 1553 01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:21,280 Speaker 2: worst advocates for their own son because it's such a macho, 1554 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 2: you know, mindset, and so of no he can do this, 1555 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:26,920 Speaker 2: But it is normal in boxing for the commissioner to 1556 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,760 Speaker 2: jump on the apron between rounds overrule the referee and 1557 01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:31,440 Speaker 2: wave off the fight. I don't ever see that. 1558 01:02:31,880 --> 01:02:33,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, here's the other problem too. I was going back 1559 01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,320 Speaker 1: and listening to some of the instructions that the referee 1560 01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,080 Speaker 1: was giving. There was one time where Gifford was getting 1561 01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:41,360 Speaker 1: banged on and I remember the referee saying get out 1562 01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,920 Speaker 1: of there. But actually, that's not what you're supposed to 1563 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:46,920 Speaker 1: be saying. You're supposed to be saying improve your situation 1564 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,480 Speaker 1: or improve your position. You don't actually have to flee 1565 01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:52,360 Speaker 1: the situation. He was totally out of his debts. 1566 01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:54,240 Speaker 2: What did they take? One hundred and fifty seven strikes? 1567 01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:55,760 Speaker 1: And here's the other part. They kept saying, well, if 1568 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:58,920 Speaker 1: he gets them on the ground, he's much better. Not really. 1569 01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:03,480 Speaker 1: Mike Davis knee on belly, which is like the boy 1570 01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:05,480 Speaker 1: Derek in the backleltay. This neon belly is what you 1571 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,440 Speaker 1: do to white belts to show up day one. And 1572 01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,680 Speaker 1: then he was elbowing him from n on belly. Dude, 1573 01:03:10,720 --> 01:03:13,960 Speaker 1: that is like big brother, like I'm gonna steal your 1574 01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 1: girlfriend at the prom move And then in the end 1575 01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:18,120 Speaker 1: when he was banging on the third round, he had 1576 01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 1: him in leg drag. Leg drag is like please put 1577 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:23,320 Speaker 1: me inside control because I have no control what's happening 1578 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,520 Speaker 1: over my body. Your legs go one way, your shoulders 1579 01:03:25,600 --> 01:03:27,880 Speaker 1: go the other. He had him in leg drag like 1580 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:30,640 Speaker 1: there was. It'd be one thing. If he was taken 1581 01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 1: to the ground, Brian, and then taking the back, you'd 1582 01:03:32,720 --> 01:03:34,960 Speaker 1: be like, all right, well, I mean there's something there. 1583 01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:39,560 Speaker 1: He was getting dominated everywhere, everywhere. It was a complete 1584 01:03:39,680 --> 01:03:41,520 Speaker 1: and total failure of everyone. 1585 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:43,760 Speaker 2: And look, Darren Elkins wouldn't have a career a few 1586 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 2: stop fights early, right, there are moments where a guy 1587 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 2: usually though a slugger. That's the thing, Luke. Usually it's 1588 01:03:49,600 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 2: a slugger that you give leeway when he's getting dominated 1589 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:54,280 Speaker 2: because you're like, look, one punch can change everything. I 1590 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 2: don't think it's that same situation with a submission expert. 1591 01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:59,800 Speaker 2: I don't think like it's not as easy to just land. No. 1592 01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 1: Exhibitions are hard to do. It's why there's so few 1593 01:04:01,800 --> 01:04:01,960 Speaker 1: of them. 1594 01:04:02,080 --> 01:04:04,160 Speaker 2: So it's not you know, anyone that wants to argue, well, 1595 01:04:04,200 --> 01:04:06,480 Speaker 2: you can't have comfort behind dramatic wins. If you police 1596 01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,920 Speaker 2: fights this way, well, you also can have long careers 1597 01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 2: or life. And if we had our own MKA DCC tournament, 1598 01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:13,240 Speaker 2: I think king erstap in. 1599 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,440 Speaker 1: You he might. I'm old and rail and tired. But 1600 01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,560 Speaker 1: the point being is, lastly, on this, this is not 1601 01:04:18,720 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: somebody being like, oh well, if the best coaches are 1602 01:04:21,880 --> 01:04:24,120 Speaker 1: doing this, then they maybe they're not the best coaches. No, no, no, 1603 01:04:24,440 --> 01:04:27,320 Speaker 1: This is like weight cutting. It's pervasive at all levels 1604 01:04:27,400 --> 01:04:29,800 Speaker 1: of the game, to the point where the best coaches, 1605 01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,680 Speaker 1: and Mark Montoya is among our very best, are still 1606 01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 1: not immune from this. That that's really the consideration. And 1607 01:04:35,520 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: then lastly, to go back and listen to what he's 1608 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:40,040 Speaker 1: screaming to is Thomas Gifford.

Because the Irish 1780 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,800 Speaker 1: are always like Guinness is really good, which it's not, 1781 01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,760 Speaker 1: but it is better in Ireland. That part is true. 1782 01:11:11,000 --> 01:11:12,559 Speaker 2: I've done like a lot of people have in the past. 1783 01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:14,559 Speaker 2: You do. You have vacation in Jamaica.

Then you go home and it's 1786 01:11:17,680 --> 01:11:19,320 Speaker 2: probably been bottled in like New York State, and you 1787 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,040 Speaker 2: take a drink and it tastes like somebody pisted right, 1788 01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,320 Speaker 2: how many so fantastic? Ten am every morning on the lazy. 1789 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,680 Speaker 1: This because when I think red stripe, I think I 1790 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:31,080 Speaker 1: think red hook in Brooklyn, red stripe. 1791 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 2: So you sit on the lazy River at the resort 1792 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,960 Speaker 2: at Matigo Bay.

Dan, 1801 01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,479 Speaker 1: I believe we have one more thing to do, which 1802 01:11:56,479 --> 01:11:59,160 Speaker 1: we're gonna do the other thing on but okay, odds 1803 01:11:59,160 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 1: and ends. What you got for me? 1804 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,160 Speaker 2: Yeah? It is relevant. We talked earlier, it's funny that 1805 01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:09,559 Speaker 2: we talked about the realistic tragedies in these combat sports, 1806 01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,200 Speaker 2: specifically boxing with the head injuries. And then of course 1807 01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:13,639 Speaker 2: we're playing, like you said, have you seen this ship 1808 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,479 Speaker 2: and we're celebrating knockouts. But this weekend we had another 1809 01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 2: one with Jason Day, a boxer on his own who 1810 01:12:20,439 --> 01:12:24,920 Speaker 2: ends up in a coma, and uh, it's you don't 1811 01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:26,040 Speaker 2: know what to do in this spot. Look to be 1812 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,240 Speaker 2: really honest, right as a journalist, as a pundent, as 1813 01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:31,000 Speaker 2: a fan. We just had two deaths in the ring 1814 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,920 Speaker 2: just recently in the same state, in the same state, 1815 01:12:33,960 --> 01:12:36,439 Speaker 2: in the same you know week basically, and a lot 1816 01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:39,360 Speaker 2: of people criticize, like when these boxers get hurt and 1817 01:12:39,439 --> 01:12:41,320 Speaker 2: they and they they don't die, but they're you know, 1818 01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:44,400 Speaker 2: they're compromised for life, that we forget about them. And 1819 01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,560 Speaker 2: I think we do, Luke, And I think we do 1820 01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:49,760 Speaker 2: that out of as like a defense, because if we're 1821 01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:52,920 Speaker 2: being real here, it's hard to recover from this. We 1822 01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 2: know the realities as a fan just as much as 1823 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 2: they know the realities and the dangers as competitors, and 1824 01:12:58,360 --> 01:13:00,960 Speaker 2: there's no right answer whenever this happens. There's no fix, 1825 01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:04,120 Speaker 2: there's no anything, because this is the sport that we watch, 1826 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:06,800 Speaker 2: and we watch it because we love the violence. We 1827 01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:09,040 Speaker 2: want to go so close to the fire and enjoy it. 1828 01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:11,200 Speaker 2: We pray for these Fight of the Year candidates. We 1829 01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 2: celebrate these one punch knockouts, and we celebrate these wars 1830 01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,519 Speaker 2: over twelve rounds, and then it gets a little too 1831 01:13:17,600 --> 01:13:19,600 Speaker 2: far and it comes hard to deal with. And I 1832 01:13:19,640 --> 01:13:20,760 Speaker 2: just want to give you a quick story. I was 1833 01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,040 Speaker 2: in the on the set in La PBC face to 1834 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:25,640 Speaker 2: face Deonte Wild Lewis Ortiz are gonna have their big 1835 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:29,280 Speaker 2: heavyweight rematch in November. And while they're arguing back and forth, 1836 01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 2: you know, while there's like I said it before, I'll 1837 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:34,960 Speaker 2: say it again. I know it's controversial, but I'm prepared 1838 01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,800 Speaker 2: to kill a man in a ring. And then Louis 1839 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:38,280 Speaker 2: Ortize comes back and he's like, I'm prepared to die 1840 01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,120 Speaker 2: in the ring in this rematch. And it's getting hot 1841 01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,080 Speaker 2: and it's getting heavy, and he said, They're like, yeah, man, 1842 01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:43,680 Speaker 2: we gotta fight. We got a war, and they're like, 1843 01:13:43,720 --> 01:13:46,519 Speaker 2: I promise, somebody's getting knocked out. And then I go 1844 01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:48,720 Speaker 2: and check my phone and see this and right after 1845 01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:52,479 Speaker 2: that's done, and it's sobering, and I don't have the 1846 01:13:52,560 --> 01:13:55,400 Speaker 2: answer on this. It doesn't make it and nothing ever 1847 01:13:55,479 --> 01:13:57,720 Speaker 2: makes it easier. There's no way that you justify what 1848 01:13:57,840 --> 01:14:00,160 Speaker 2: we do. Yet we watch and we cover and we 1849 01:14:00,200 --> 01:14:01,600 Speaker 2: report on this, and we make a living off this, 1850 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:03,439 Speaker 2: and so do the fighters, and it sucks. 1851 01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:04,680 Speaker 1: I think if you're a fan, you have to be 1852 01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,200 Speaker 1: honest with yourself and you say, I accept that I 1853 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:10,200 Speaker 1: watch something that causes people's death and ruins their lives. 1854 01:14:10,800 --> 01:14:15,800 Speaker 1: You have to say that because it predominantly doesn't right, 1855 01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:19,240 Speaker 1: not most people die or something, although there is an 1856 01:14:19,320 --> 01:14:21,559 Speaker 1: enormous amount of destruction that it causes to people's lives, 1857 01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,519 Speaker 1: but their personal life and may ruin their ability to 1858 01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,240 Speaker 1: have a financial future, depending some in riches. But you 1859 01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:29,280 Speaker 1: have to just say that because if you're in denial 1860 01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:30,840 Speaker 1: and you say, well, I don't like that part of it, 1861 01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,080 Speaker 1: well nobody likes that part of it. But if you're 1862 01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,840 Speaker 1: willing to say I will watch it not because of this, 1863 01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:40,559 Speaker 1: but in spite of it, you're still complicit. You are 1864 01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 1: complicit in there to a degree in some of this. 1865 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:46,879 Speaker 1: It's why you have to force to the best ability 1866 01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:51,760 Speaker 1: you can safety protocols and fair matchmaking and holding people 1867 01:14:51,840 --> 01:14:54,839 Speaker 1: in power to account and not accepting what promoters just say. 1868 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,120 Speaker 2: To say, you gotta have short memories too, and it's unfortunate. 1869 01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:00,680 Speaker 2: You have to kind of yeah, well these or if 1870 01:15:00,720 --> 01:15:02,680 Speaker 2: you focused on it, you wouldn't want to watch the 1871 01:15:02,720 --> 01:15:03,160 Speaker 2: same way. 1872 01:15:03,120 --> 01:15:04,519 Speaker 1: Right, if you really focus on the other part Two 1873 01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,840 Speaker 1: is you know you mentioned those two deaths like that. 1874 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:10,040 Speaker 1: They're obviously tragic, but we also try to put safety 1875 01:15:10,040 --> 01:15:11,479 Speaker 1: protocols and like you know, you can't turn pro to 1876 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:13,680 Speaker 1: your eighteen, which I think benefits. But you look at 1877 01:15:13,680 --> 01:15:15,519 Speaker 1: like high school football. You got kids out there dying 1878 01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,760 Speaker 1: every year from just you know, utterly preventable conditions like 1879 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:22,519 Speaker 1: heat exhaustion or heat stroke. You had that kid, Jordan 1880 01:15:22,600 --> 01:15:25,320 Speaker 1: McNair out of the University of Maryland, you know, just 1881 01:15:25,479 --> 01:15:27,639 Speaker 1: utter malfeasans and negligence on the part of the coaching set. 1882 01:15:27,680 --> 01:15:30,479 Speaker 1: He just died. But it doesn't, it doesn't. I mean, 1883 01:15:30,520 --> 01:15:32,679 Speaker 1: this is a brain that this is a game which, 1884 01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:34,400 Speaker 1: by the way, you play at the pewee level that 1885 01:15:34,560 --> 01:15:37,160 Speaker 1: causes an enormous amount of brain trauma. You just have 1886 01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,280 Speaker 1: to say I'm okay with it. And once you begin 1887 01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,200 Speaker 1: to do that. It should you should feel something when 1888 01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:45,719 Speaker 1: you say that, and it should make you want obviously 1889 01:15:45,840 --> 01:15:47,519 Speaker 1: less of that to happen, and to be really kind 1890 01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:51,040 Speaker 1: of righteous about people throwing the towel about what what 1891 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,120 Speaker 1: commissions are doing because you can't save everyone. But like 1892 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,600 Speaker 1: the idea that we couldn't do a better job, I 1893 01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,000 Speaker 1: mean we quite we quite clearly can do a better job. 1894 01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 2: But I think I've got to a point where I'm like, 1895 01:16:01,160 --> 01:16:04,479 Speaker 2: we're all hypocritical in this. Yeah, yeah, we're cheering for that. 1896 01:16:04,560 --> 01:16:06,880 Speaker 2: We're chearing to get so close to that fire. And 1897 01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:08,800 Speaker 2: that's the goods, that's the great stuff. I mean, I 1898 01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:10,559 Speaker 2: love the ex's and all that. I love the sweet science, 1899 01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:13,400 Speaker 2: but it's the wars. It's the drama. It's coming back 1900 01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,760 Speaker 2: from something like That's what that's the catinet for us. 1901 01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:17,960 Speaker 1: That's why I always say it's like, dude, I mean, 1902 01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:23,400 Speaker 1: we recruit athletes, we make them train athletically, we put rules, 1903 01:16:23,479 --> 01:16:26,920 Speaker 1: we put best practices, we put science behind it. But 1904 01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:29,800 Speaker 1: fighting is not a sport. It is not a sport. 1905 01:16:29,960 --> 01:16:33,839 Speaker 1: It is fighting is something that happens across the animal kingdom. 1906 01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:39,000 Speaker 1: For territorial rights, for mating rights, we have removed it 1907 01:16:39,360 --> 01:16:42,000 Speaker 1: from that situation. And then what we have done is 1908 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:44,080 Speaker 1: we have made it out of entertainment and then we 1909 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,200 Speaker 1: put some safety parameters on it. But at its core, 1910 01:16:47,400 --> 01:16:52,040 Speaker 1: this is something that species do for survival, for supremacy 1911 01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,840 Speaker 1: without really concerner or thought about the implications of it. 1912 01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:57,479 Speaker 2: And look, this isn't the first time we've had this debate. 1913 01:16:57,600 --> 01:16:59,280 Speaker 2: Is the first time we've had a near death or 1914 01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:00,840 Speaker 2: something scary, but it it. 1915 01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:03,360 Speaker 1: Just you have to understand what it is like if 1916 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:05,680 Speaker 1: you have a wild tiger in your house, you had 1917 01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,599 Speaker 1: to understand what that is, not a cat. 1918 01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,400 Speaker 2: And by the way, it is true the fighters, they 1919 01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:12,920 Speaker 2: do get forgotten about the ones that that either die 1920 01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:15,120 Speaker 2: or or survived, but are never the same and we 1921 01:17:15,479 --> 01:17:16,799 Speaker 2: move on to the next fight and that's. 1922 01:17:16,680 --> 01:17:19,080 Speaker 1: The next week. You'll do have you seen this ship? 1923 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:21,040 Speaker 2: And I'll be forgett about it.
