Speaker 1: San Antonio District judge resigns after a federal corruption probe.

Speaker 2: A former San Antonio, Texas judge goes to federal prison

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: after pleading guilty to accepting bribes in exchange for rigging

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: cases in his court. Angus McGuinty committed the ultimate judicial sin.

5
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 2: Why did you do it?

6
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 3: I did it because I was foolish.

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,960

Speaker 3: I fucking love him.

12
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: I can't get enough of him.

Speaker 1: Next time job there, Krytufian prefers.

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,920

Speaker 4: Here are your hosts, John Annick and Kenny Florian.

16
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 6: Well quarantine did my master bedroom away from my children?

17
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 6: There is no one I would rather capture to spend

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 6: sixty minutes on video and audio with me than my

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 6: man Ken Flow. It's Monday, June eighth, twenty twenty, Episode

20
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 6: two fifty three of the Anakin Florian podcast, What's Up Kid?

21
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 7: What's going on? Dude? How was Vegas?

22
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 6: Vegas was good? I did not frequent any casinos, but

23
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 6: it was good to be back out there. Of course,

24
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 6: hotter in hell. You know, I live in Florida, I

25
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 6: run outside in Florida, but that desert is a different

26
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 6: beast right now.

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 7: It really is.

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 6: When you parlay the wind with the heat. My lungs

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 6: were not cooperating. But it was really buttoned up, I mean,

30
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 6: much more restrictive in terms of the hotel than in Jacksonville.

31
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 6: Everybody had to be mashed all the time or you

32
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 6: were getting a lashing. You know, you couldn't even go

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 6: in the building without a credential that had a wristband

34
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: that cleared that you had had your temperature screen. So

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 6: we felt pretty taken care of it. Another show is

36
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 6: in the can.

37
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 7: How was it for you?

38
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 6: I know you were watching most of the fights on

39
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 6: Saturday night.

40
00:01:58,680 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 7: I was, I was.

41
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: I saw a few of the prelimbs, the whole main

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: card and it was good man, it was good to

43
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: hear you again.

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 6: Well, I appreciate that we have a lot to get

45
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 6: to today. Later in the show, we will have some

46
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,079
Speaker 6: thoughts from ken Flow. We'll see if he thinks this

47
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 6: one is going to stick her not Connor McGregor's third

48
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 6: retirement in the last four years, so on the way out,

49
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 6: we will be sure to get some thoughts from Kenny

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 6: on that. But in the nature of not burying the lead,

51
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,799
Speaker 6: let us start with the Lioness, Amanda Nenz. I just

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 6: flew back with her from Miami, so I oftentimes travel

53
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 6: with Nina and Amanda because we live down here in

54
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,799
Speaker 6: South Florida. So really interesting to hear her thoughts after

55
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 6: the fact, Ken Flow, I guess I'll start with the

56
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 6: fact that the last thing she or the American top

57
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 6: team Dan Lambert Mike Brown would ever do is take

58
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 6: an opponent lightly. Their focus Saturday night, or at least

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 6: her focus was to go twenty five minutes, right, Not

60
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 6: that she wouldn't have knocked her out if there was

61
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 6: an obvious opportunity, but she really wanted to prove that

62
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 6: she could go twenty five minutes at one hundred and

63
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 6: forty pounds, where she feels better than bantamweight. I think

64
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 6: her bandamweight days are over, and if this is the

65
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,679
Speaker 6: beginning of several title defenses at featherweight, I think she

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 6: fought a near perfect fight.

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 7: Well it was smart.

68
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: I mean, if you've seen Spencer fight before you knew

69
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: she was gonna hang in there for as long as possible,

70
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: once again showing her toughness. But as far as skill,

71
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,359
Speaker 1: you know, unfortunately for Spencer and frankly everyone in that division,

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: they're just not gonna be able to keep up with

73
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: someone like Amanda Nunez. I mean, there is no female

74
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: who can throw a punch like Amanda Neunz period. I

75
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: mean when it comes to you know, maybe hitting a

76
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: bag or whatever, but as far as a fight, a

77
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: professional fight, when it comes down to it, if you

78
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: need to hit another female in the face, Amanda new

79
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: Nez just does it better than any other female out there.

80
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: It's really impressive the kind of power and speed that

81
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: she's able to put together, her timing, and you know,

82
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I really thought there was such a disparity and skill

83
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: by you know, the fourth round, that they probably should

84
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: have stopped the fight. Nonez really put just a lot

85
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: of combinations on Spencer. She again just hung in there.

86
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: She was tough as nails. But I don't know, I

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 1: think Amanda Noons just showed that she's just at another level.

88
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: Yet again, I don't think there's anyone out there that

89
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: really can challenge her. I know, you really shouldn't say that.

90
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 1: You don't want to get that into the head of

91
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: a fighter. And obviously att did a great job of

92
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,720
Speaker 1: keeping her focus for this one. But man, Nonez is

93
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: very good.

94
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 6: And from a legacy standpoint, and look what Henry Sahudo

95
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 6: did and then he chose to walk away, and of

96
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,600
Speaker 6: course there are a lot of Bandamway killers waiting for him.

97
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 6: That is not Amana Nonez's reality. And there really is

98
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 6: nothing for her left to accomplish. From a mixed martial

99
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 6: arts She's won eleven consecutive fights. She has won eight

100
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 6: consecutive UFC Championship fights in any number of different ways.

101
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 6: If you talk about Ronda Rousey and Misha Tate and

102
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 6: Holly Holm and Chris Cyborg, none of them lasted more

103
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,160
Speaker 6: than a round. Yeah, Pennington and Spencer and some of

104
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 6: these others have extended her for lack of a better

105
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 6: way to put it, but she is the goat. There

106
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 6: is not a distant second with respect to the great

107
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 6: Valentina Chevchenko. And we could dissect this performance. I mean,

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 6: I'll tell you from a judging standpoint, the way the

109
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 6: scoring rules are written right now to encourage more liberal

110
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 6: use of ten eights where you don't have to largely

111
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 6: dominate around.

112
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 7: Go read the rules.

113
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 6: There was at least two ten eights for me, if

114
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 6: not three, there at least based on the language Kenny

115
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,119
Speaker 6: of the new scoring. So it was fifty to forty

116
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 6: five and then fifty to forty four times too. I

117
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 6: had fans coming at me saying, if you really read

118
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 6: the rules, they scored at fifty to forty, they had

119
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 6: five ten eights, and I, you know, I mean again,

120
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 6: I encourage people to read the scoring. But she was

121
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 6: as dominant as ever. I'd probably had it fifty to

122
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 6: forty three. You know, there's no doubt about it.

123
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 1: Again, Nunez just looked like she was just in a

124
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: complete different level than Spencer. And you know, again Spencer's

125
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 1: toughness is impressive, but again there's just a huge skill

126
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 1: despair in that whole division period.

127
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 7: She has, you know, really run out of opponents at

128
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 7: this point.

129
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anyone out there that's going

130
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 1: to make things interesting, and I think that's her biggest

131
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: challenge at this point, is not only staying motivated for

132
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 1: these other fighters, but.

133
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 7: Just getting an opponent who's willing to get in there

134
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 7: with her.

135
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 6: Megan Anderson has won two in a row, She's won

136
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 6: three of four. I know there isn't a healthy appetite

137
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 6: for that fight, but she is six feet tall, and

138
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 6: I do think it's an interesting matchup just because of

139
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 6: that size. So I do think if she defends the

140
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,479
Speaker 6: featherweight title first quarter of twenty twenty one most likely.

141
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 6: I think if Megan Anderson can get another win or

142
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 6: get another fight ideally right, that could produce a win,

143
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 6: she could be next in theory. But I think Amanda

144
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 6: is ready to go home and nest with her wife,

145
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 6: Nina Nunez, and become mothers and maybe take the rest

146
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 6: of the year off. I know Nina would like to

147
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 6: return to fight in February up a division at flyweight,

148
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 6: so maybe Amanda would help her and then not even

149
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 6: come back until April. Amanda was on crutches in a wheelchair, right,

150
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 6: I mean, she is banged up in that lower half.

151
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 6: And again, you don't win eight championship fights, Kenny, and

152
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 6: go through eight championship training camps without paying some sort

153
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 6: of price. You know, she looked like a prime Amanda Nunez.

154
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 6: But it's not like she can win eight more title

155
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 6: fights without absorbing a whole lot of damage along the way.

156
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: She has proven herself already as an elite mixed martial artist.

157
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 1: She has proven herself to be the greatest of all

158
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: time when it comes to, you know, the women's divisions.

159
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't see anyone breaking her record or doing what

160
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: she has done for a very very long time. So

161
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 1: Nuna's has separated herself from all the other great female fighters,

162
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: and she certainly deserves that time off and again for

163
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: her she's already made a lot of money at this point.

164
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 1: You know, Nina obviously still interested in fighting, and she

165
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: can do you know, some impressive things in her division

166
00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: as well, but with a child coming up and all

167
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 1: those things, you gotta believe that she's probably gonna take

168
00:07:59,000 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: a long time off.

169
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 6: I do think she would enjoy maybe a high profile

170
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: boxing match that could see her realize a big payday.

171
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 6: Would be something she'd have an appetite for, and she'd

172
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 6: be probably an underdog in that setting, which I think

173
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 6: would be an interesting challenge for her because at least

174
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 6: right now in MMA, I mean Ian Parker said last

175
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 6: week that a man it should have been minus eleven

176
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 6: hundred and he was exactly right. So we congratulate Amanda

177
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 6: Nunez and we'll see what is next. We of course

178
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 6: acknowledged the toughness of Felicia Spencer, but she was outmatched.

179
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 6: And I know my man TJ. DeSantis would have been

180
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 6: very surprised years ago to have seen Felicia Spencer rise

181
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 6: to a UFC title fight this quickly, having followed her

182
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 6: on the Invicta FC circuits. So we congratulate her effort

183
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 6: and defeat, and I do think she'll work her way back.

184
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 6: And what is obviously a division so thin that there

185
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 6: aren't even rankings at UFC dot com all right, comin

186
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 6: event was Cody Garbrand and hafae elis Sunsaw. Even if

187
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 6: it wasn't the biggest bandam weight fight of the night,

188
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 6: Ray Long is going to be waiting in the wings here,

189
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 6: so we'll table algo for a second, even though otherwise

190
00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 6: I would go to him here, Cody fucking Garbrand with

191
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 6: a knockout that is going to be on highlight reels

192
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 6: for years to come, and say what you want about it,

193
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 6: and Sean O'Malley and others will in terms of the

194
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 6: technique or lack thereof You know, some people will suggest

195
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 6: that he grabbed the fence and there was something illegal

196
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 6: about the strike. You know, when Anthony Showtime Pettis pushed

197
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 6: his foot off of the fence, can flow right, as

198
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 6: long as you're not interlocking the toes. There's nothing illegal

199
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,199
Speaker 6: about that as far as I know. Cody, yeah, I

200
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 6: guess did interlock a finger for a second, almost as

201
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 6: if he was like springing off the cage. I don't

202
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: see anything illegal about it. Asuansau was disappointed that he

203
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 6: let his guard down a little bit, but that was

204
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 6: a ferocious, ferocious knockout, one of the most deadly I've

205
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,400
Speaker 6: ever seen CAESA And in that instance.

206
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 7: People need to use, you know, common sense.

207
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: What exactly was he gaining as an advantage by grabbing

208
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: the fence. There was no take tech, there was no

209
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: you know, grappling going up anyway. I just think it's

210
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: kind of ridiculous. But anyways, h Cody doesn't need a

211
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: lot of help when it comes to the speed and

212
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 1: power department ro He can produce that very well on

213
00:09:59,040 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: his own.

214
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,439
Speaker 7: I think you kind of nailed it.

215
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 1: And this is not to take away from Cody because

216
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 1: technically he's so good when he's making you miss. But

217
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: the thing that stands out very clearly when you watch

218
00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 1: Cody Garbrandt fight is that he is a different kind

219
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 1: of athlete.

220
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 7: He really is.

221
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 1: The way that he moves and his ability to read

222
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: punches when he's trying to make you miss, right when

223
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: he gets emotionally he stands in the pocket. You're always

224
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: throwing the dice, and we see so many mixed martial

225
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 1: arts go and do that and be like I just

226
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: want to I want to brawl, I want to get

227
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: in there. Okay, well you might get knocked down in

228
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: that process as well. Cody Garbrandt needs to go back

229
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: and be that dude that he showed when he fought

230
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: Dominic Cruise. Maybe the best performance I've ever seen out

231
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: of any UFC fighter.

232
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, and he just looked phenomenal out there.

233
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: When he's out there, he's utilizing his footwork, he's analyzing,

234
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,319
Speaker 1: not just diving headfirst into exchange.

235
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,199
Speaker 7: That's when he really is at his yes.

236
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: And I hope this is a different change because if

237
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: it is, Cody Garbrandt will get that title back.

238
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 6: I absolutely guarantee you, no matter who he faces. You

239
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 6: called him a different kind of athlete. And those are

240
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 6: some seriously true words. And that's the rub, and I'm

241
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 6: glad that you led with it. That's the rub. When

242
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 6: it comes to Cody, No love Garbrant. Athletically, he is

243
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 6: on a different level than most a guy who if

244
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 6: he had different dimensions, maybe if he was as big

245
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 6: as his brother Zach, would have been a professional athlete

246
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 6: in a different sport. This kid played middle linebacker, the

247
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:32,199
Speaker 6: premium position in the state of Ohio. At one hundred

248
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 6: and thirty five pounds. You know that shit doesn't happen

249
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 6: by accident. And as far as this Mark Henry relationship

250
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 6: is concerned, and by the way, Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier,

251
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 6: at separate times on the broadcast both referred to Mark

252
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 6: Henry as a genius. Okay, their words, not mine, But

253
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,079
Speaker 6: obviously we put him on a pedestal when it comes

254
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 6: to striking coaches, and rightfully so. He's turned away a

255
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 6: lot of elite athletes. This wasn't a by product Kenny

256
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 6: of Mark Ken of Cody reaching out to Mark. Mark

257
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 6: Henry like recruited Cody over the years because he saw

258
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 6: this athlete and saw this speed and felt like if

259
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 6: he could work with this guy, it could be truly

260
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 6: something special. Now I'm not saying garbrand I'm not the

261
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 6: technical guy. I'm not saying he's totally out of the woods,

262
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 6: that this is Garbrandt version two point zero necessarily, but

263
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 6: there was a lot of good in this performance and

264
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 6: he was able to punctuate it with a knockout that

265
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 6: is certainly going to hold up as one of the

266
00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 6: better ones.

267
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:21,439
Speaker 4: It was.

268
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: And again, you know, this isn't a Cody that couldn't

269
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: have done this on his own. No disrespect to Mark Henry.

270
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: I think what Mark Henry has brought to the table

271
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: is discipline and the fact that he gets to utilize

272
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: his footwork. Again, Hey, you use your footwork, man, That's

273
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 1: what makes you special, That's what separates you. There's one

274
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: thing that allows you to hide in the octagon and disappear,

275
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: and it's footwork. And there's just no one in the

276
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:51,599
Speaker 1: game who really, in my opinion, truly understands that and

277
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: gets fighters to really realize that. Everyone just thinks like,

278
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: there's the target, I'm gonna walk forward and just try

279
00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: to hit it.

280
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 7: That's how most.

281
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:03,679
Speaker 1: Professional mixed Marshalls artists approach the game and Cody Garbran

282
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,199
Speaker 1: again is kind of brought back into that reality of

283
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: utilizing your footwork, and Mark Henry is probably responsible for that.

284
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I think keeping them disciplined, keeping those footwork patterns and

285
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 1: not getting them into just doing the same thing I

286
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: think is going to be important for Cody moving forward.

287
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: But either way, man, it was great to see Cody

288
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: get close to fulfilling his potential. That's how good I

289
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: think he is. I still think there's so much more

290
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:34,199
Speaker 1: for Cody to show. The dude's is stunt and it

291
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: was great to see it back. The UFC needs someone

292
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,599
Speaker 1: like Cody, Yeah, yeah, no doubt about it.

293
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 6: I mean, he could sell tickets in Ohio and Pennsylvania

294
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 6: and Los Angeles and obviously has a style that can

295
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 6: produce a knockout like that. And can I just be

296
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 6: a fan for a second, Like, dude, I mean that

297
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 6: fucking knockout right, Like just sitting there and seeing a

298
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 6: man separate a really durable man like that from consciousness.

299
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 6: I mean, bro, it's one.

300
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 7: Hundred and thirty five pounds. Where do you he a

301
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 7: dude be able to put a guy to sleep like that? Again?

302
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 1: And we'll talking about Sean O'Malley and all that stuff,

303
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 1: But it's just rare. It's a rare quality to actually

304
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 1: have that kind of power. Because even in Sean O'Malley's knockout,

305
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 1: which was absolutely brilliant, he had hurt him twice. He

306
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: had hurt Wineland twice to the body before that, so

307
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: he was already kind of out and you know, had

308
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 1: been hurt to the head before that as well. But

309
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: one punch knockout power, like Cody Garbrands, Yeah, you just

310
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: don't see it. One hundred and thirty five pounds. He

311
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: bowed out of the way, timed it perfectly, came upstairs,

312
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: threw that punched from hell, and my goodness again, a

313
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: suns out. He's been knocked out what once? Maybe I

314
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 1: think it was the guy from Duke Ruvers's Why can't

315
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: I think of it the southpaw there from Duke Ruvers's camp. Anyway,

316
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: Eric Eric Coke exactly. That was the only time you've

317
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: ever seen him knocked out, and he's fought a lot

318
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: of high level guys and that was kind of earlier

319
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: in his career, I guess you could say, but you

320
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: don't see a guy like sunts Out knocked out cold

321
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: like that too often. It's happened once in his career,

322
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 1: and Garbrent's just again a special fighter.

323
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 6: Let's talk about Sugar Shan O'Malley for a second, because

324
00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 6: obviously his head coach, Tim Welch, has a lot to

325
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 6: prove before he's in a conversation maybe with a Trevor

326
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 6: Whitman type. But I have said on our airwaves in

327
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 6: the past, I really believe in this one two punch

328
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 6: with Tim Welch and Sugar Shan O'Malley Tankeino Mendez, you

329
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 6: can't do much better than that in terms of your

330
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 6: primary jiu jitsu player that you're trading with day in

331
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 6: and day out. I believe they're doing the right things

332
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 6: from a strength and conditioning standpoint. I said on our

333
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 6: airwaves last week, if I could buy stock at any

334
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 6: young fighter, O'Malley would be the guy. I don't think

335
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 6: that people realize how good he is, whether they're focused

336
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 6: on the marijuana or him saying things like he's the

337
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 6: best striker in MMA right now. But there's more truth

338
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 6: to that line than people want to realize. And because

339
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 6: you're the expert, I would always defer to you, but

340
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 6: I see a very special bandam weight. I see a

341
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 6: future contender, if not world champion, every time I watch

342
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 6: him now, and I do believe he's ready to take

343
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 6: his shots at this division's elite right now.

344
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 7: It's a couple things, right.

345
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,840
Speaker 1: I will say that O'Malley continues to improve and impress

346
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: in my opinion. I also say I understand he doesn't

347
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 1: have a manager right now or hasn't had a manager

348
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: for a little bit, but whoever is making those decisions

349
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 1: of deciding who he's going to fight and when he's

350
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: going to fight them deserves a lot of credit as

351
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: well because it's him. Okay, well, he's a smart guy,

352
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: and he knows exactly what he's doing. He's picking the

353
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: right fights for where his skill levels at, where his

354
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: experience is at, and that's just going to give him

355
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: that much more momentum, that much more confidence, and that

356
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: much more playing time to figure out exactly what he

357
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 1: can and can't do in a mixed martial arts bout.

358
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 7: And you're seeing improvement.

359
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 1: I thought the way that he was moving the relaxation

360
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: to me is also impressive of how composed he is.

361
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 7: He's not a guy who's soon pretense. He's relaxed when

362
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 7: he punches.

363
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 1: I thought his feints looked really sharp and what separates

364
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: him to get a little bit nerdy here on his striking.

365
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: It's one thing to faint, it's another thing to faint

366
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: and be in a punching position to take advantage of it.

367
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,520
Speaker 7: That's why Wineland was so hesitant in coming forward.

368
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: Those fates were really scary to him because O'Malley was

369
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,639
Speaker 1: fainting him and then ready to strike if need be.

370
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: And when he did, he made it work for him

371
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 1: and made Wyland pay for coming in Wyland. Yes, he

372
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: has been dropping his hands, He's been doing it for years,

373
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 1: but very few have been able to truly take advantage

374
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: of it and not get hit like Sean O'Malley.

375
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 7: So just lovely stuff there from Sean O'Malley.

376
00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 6: And if you want to listen back to the Anak

377
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 6: and Florian podcast archives, he was our featured guest back

378
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 6: on for twenty I believe it was the twentieth of

379
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 6: opera if I'm not mistaken there. But if you go

380
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 6: to O'Malley's YouTube channel, he did a video on Sunday

381
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 6: morning and he was going to stay in Las Vegas,

382
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 6: which was not the end, she'll plan to talk to

383
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,120
Speaker 6: the UFC brass So maybe there will be another quick

384
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 6: turn for O'Malley, who already has two wins here in

385
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 6: twenty twenty. And don't lose sight of the fact that

386
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 6: he had two years off and developmentally obviously took advantage

387
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 6: of that time. And I do believe we'll see if

388
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 6: he gets a new contract, and that's why he's in Vegas.

389
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I think as long as he

390
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 6: is being paid the right money, he's gonna you know,

391
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 6: he's gonna command a top fifteen opponent next and watch one.

392
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 7: So I think, so listen, you look at a striking

393
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 7: you look at his reach.

394
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: That's always going to be a problem, I think moving forward,

395
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 1: and I'm sure he knows this, Sean just needs to

396
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: continue to work on his wrestling and on his grappling.

397
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: So when he gets to that elite fifteen you know

398
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: those guys who are really kind of trying to take

399
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 1: them down and make them pay.

400
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 7: There he's ready.

401
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: And if he's able to do that and he's doing

402
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: the work, he's gonna be a tough guy to beat man.

403
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 6: And again you see him on the Quintet Ultra circuit too.

404
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 6: I mean a kid loves to grapple, you know, that's

405
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 6: a thing. I mean, that's where he really I think

406
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 6: he's a martial artist. Yeah, man really is all right.

407
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:02,800

00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 8: job with this kid. Not only a win, but a

455
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 8: fucking statement. I mean that's the UH that that's the

456
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 8: key to me is the uh just became out aggressive.

466
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 8: say sorry about that. We get to him at a minute.

467
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 8: Corey Santagan is, uh, you know he was too comfortable

468
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 8: on the floor. I think uh Lineker or maybe a

469
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 8: Sonster had his neck. He looked like it you cannot

470
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 8: do that with al jo That was the difference that

471
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 8: I think it was gonna get to the floor that fast.

472
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 8: Not really, but I did. That was a scenario for

473
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 8: sure in my head. And the uh I think when

474
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 8: we found out the octagon, how small it was and

475
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 8: even compared to what we have in the gym, At

476
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,159
Speaker 8: first I thought it wasn't gonna be an advantage, but

477
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 8: it ended up being an advantage. And you know, San Haagen,

478
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 8: what we were worried about was the pace coming forward.

479
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 8: But you know what a lot of those guys that

480
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 8: can walk forward, they just don't. They look like a

481
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 8: different fight of going backwards. And I think that's what

482
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 8: you saw. And again al Joe on the floor was

483
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 8: where his strength was. No, I don't care what weight y'all.

484
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 8: I mean, he's really he's that good.

485
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 7: His mma jiu.

486
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 8: Jitsu is is phenomenal, probably if not the best up

487
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 8: there with anybody.

488
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, Kenny, we're obviously going to celebrate the shit out

489
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 6: of this win from an algamain sterling perspective, but I

490
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,879
Speaker 6: do want to get your thoughts on Corey Sandhagen, and

491
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 6: also we might as well inject the octagon size into

492
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 6: the conversation here, because the measurables are unbelievable. It is

493
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 6: thirty point five percent smaller, Kenny, seven hundred and forty

494
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 6: five square feet versus five hundred and eighteen square feet.

495
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,560
Speaker 6: I know you've competed in both. Feels like a different

496
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 6: sport for me. Your thoughts on this quick fight and

497
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 6: how the cage might have impacted the matchup.

498
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's always going to favor the grappler in

499
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: my opinion, having that smaller octagon first of all, just

500
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: brilliant on the part of al Jo and his team

501
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: to turn it into a grappling match right from the

502
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: get go. He had a beautiful shot put him up

503
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: against the cage and just kind of that little throw

504
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: by that he did. Sanhagan was in trouble once he

505
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: had the back. This did not look good. And even

506
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: as far as you know, Aljoe really with the control.

507
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 1: It was just unbelievable. These are two elite guys at

508
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty five pounds, right, and the fact

509
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: that Aljo was able to get it done this quickly

510
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,640
Speaker 1: was a huge statement. And in a time where sometimes

511
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: you don't know whether the number two guy, the number

512
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: five guy, the number eight guy is going to get

513
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: a title shot. Al Jamaine Sterling just told everyone.

514
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 7: To fuck off. Yeah, he said, now, then this shot

515
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 7: is mine.

516
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 1: Seriously, And I thought it was going to be a

517
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: really close fight, you know, Ray, I actually picked san

518
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: Haagan by a close decision. I thought that he'd be

519
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: able to outpoint him round by round. Al Jo knew

520
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: where he had the strength. Al Jo knew that, hey, listen,

521
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 1: maybe I could strike with him, right, maybe I can

522
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 1: steal some rounds here in there, But I know I'm

523
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: going to be the better grappler. And that was the

524
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: smart approach. Al Joe knew he had the strength advantage there.

525
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 7: He knew he was going to be the.

526
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,400
Speaker 1: Better grappler if he got on top and just took

527
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: full advantage of it. I was I was blown away

528
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: by a.

529
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I gotta tell you, gotta Remember look at

530
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 8: Alja how he came out and this is even a

531
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 8: surprise to me a little bit, but just a frantic pace.

532
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 8: He's you know, he's quick, he's moving, he's throwing kicks,

533
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 8: you're responding. He almost went for a cutkick, I think,

534
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 8: and they rabbed that leg and that was it. But

535
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 8: he never took a step back. I mean it was

536
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 8: very quick. Look, and this will be a blip on

537
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 8: the radar for san take and that kid can fight.

538
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 8: I was one hundred percent concerned with a lot of

539
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 8: things in this fight. I think that kid is great.

540
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,160
Speaker 8: I love his style and he one hundred will be back.

541
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 8: But Al Joe just he sees the moment, man, and

542
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 8: he knew he had to make a statement and he didn't.

543
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 8: These are the things that that excite me in mma,

544
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 8: in any sport, you know what I mean. When you

545
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 8: see this type of behavior come out and look, you

546
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 8: gotta remember Al Joe was on a four or five

547
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 8: fight win street. The fights he lost, you could make

548
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,399
Speaker 8: a case for he won. So he's for of the

549
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,679
Speaker 8: best of the best. And his losses, with the exception

550
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 8: of the knockout to Marlin, which literally took on his

551
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:33,639
Speaker 8: short notice that was a replacement for whoever he was

552
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,640
Speaker 8: supposed to fight. Uh, the good jiu jitsu guy, what's

553
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 8: his name? Ken, He's an older guy, but his jiu

554
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 8: jitsu is good.

555
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 6: Not talking about Johnny Eduardo back No, no.

556
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 8: Wow, man, he just lost to Simone.

557
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:50,159
Speaker 7: Borg No.

558
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 8: Whatever, either way, either way, I mean, the point is

559
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 8: that he I'm sorry, Kenny. The point is that I

560
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,760
Speaker 8: can make a case for al Joe. You know, with

561
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 8: the exception of Morasle He's got seven eight wins in

562
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 8: the list, not whatever it is. He he those fights.

563
00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 8: The fight with a son Sow I thought he won

564
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 8: was a close fight though, in a fight with ran

565
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 8: Yas to fight Rani yaha. And this is almost what

566
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:22,160
Speaker 8: happened with almost what happened with Ferguson. You go from

567
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 8: a jiu jitsu guy to a fierce striker. Ferguson went

568
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:31,719
Speaker 8: from a fierce wrestler to an unbelievable striker. These are

569
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 8: the things you know, you you should be able to adjust.

570
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,399
Speaker 8: But I was not in favor of that fight because

571
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 8: of the timing of it. And uh, you know, but

572
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:42,879
Speaker 8: again to al Jo's credit, man, look what he did.

573
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 8: He that was a pretty bad knockout. He came back

574
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,440
Speaker 8: and rated five in a row with the elite of

575
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 8: that division. Phenomenal performance, attitude wise, character wise, everything. It's

576
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 8: just you know, and again, I think the culture of

577
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 8: this gym is so tight. And I said it like

578
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 8: with with the Quarantine, because those guys did a great

579
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 8: job with him, and you know, Al had his garage

580
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 8: and he wouldn't do that for anybody, trust me, he

581
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 8: would not. But Al Joe nobody had fights. Everybody was

582
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 8: dedicated to him. That's one good thing with the Quarantine.

583
00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 8: It's not like, well, this guy's got to fight, he's

584
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 8: trained in this day, or he's got to get ready

585
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 8: for his bringing in it, everybody was focused on Al

586
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 8: Joe and he had his He had the same cast

587
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 8: of characters, but even with more focus, and I think

588
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 8: the camaraderie of that whole Dog Pound really just made

589
00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 8: him rise to another another level, you know what I mean.

590
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,440
Speaker 8: So I just I just loved the way. I just

591
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 8: love his attitude right from the get go.

592
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Man, in a time where everyone loves to make excuses,

593
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,239
Speaker 1: whether it's a bad decision or whatever it is, Al

594
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: Jamaine Sterling has clearly been working on his game and

595
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 1: working to get better.

596
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 7: Uh, and it's just it's amazing to see.

597
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: Uh.

598
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 1: And it also shows that he's elite because Sanhagen is

599
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: a terrific fighter. And when you see a guy who

600
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,200
Speaker 1: can take advantage it loves one mistake. It was one

601
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: mistake that san Haagan made and that was it and

602
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: that what that's what shows that Aljamain Sterling can be

603
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 1: a champion. This sport is it's those guys who have

604
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: that killer instinct, who can capitalize on little things that

605
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 1: that's gonna separate you from just everybody else.

606
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, and he really believes in his jiu jitsu skills

607
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 8: more than any other skill set. Yeah, I'm saying he

608
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 8: believes in that jiu jitsu skill set and that's you know,

609
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 8: you heard him say even a Matt Serrah black belt

610
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,160
Speaker 8: is different levels. He gets to train with really really

611
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,760
Speaker 8: good guys and Kenny, you know you your buddy is

612
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 8: off the charts with jiu jitsu. You just absolutely, Uh

613
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 8: that was Ryan Hall. I mean, that kid is phenomenal

614
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 8: jiu jitsu wise. I'm sure who the hell's touching that guy?

615
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 7: You know what I mean? So you know this, there's

616
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 7: such an advantage man.

617
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, Yeah, it really is, and Aljo's not at that

618
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 8: like level. Like I think Ruin is a different game.

619
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 8: But al Jo, his squeeze strength is his wrestling combined

620
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 8: with the jiu jitsu is a is a major problem

621
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 8: because even if he doesn't get you down, he could

622
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 8: get you in a position where that's all he needs

623
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 8: is just to get a book in get on your back.

624
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,760
Speaker 8: And again, I don't care what weight you are, you

625
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,280
Speaker 8: don't want the guy on your back.

626
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, al just got a good feel for that

627
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 6: carotid artery. Man, I'm telling you, yeah, I love it.

628
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,560
Speaker 8: I sound like I know what the fake guy the

629
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 8: guy pat then went to sleep. But look, I don't

630
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 8: want to take anything away from Sannagan. That kid, there's

631
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 8: no question in my mind. He bounces right back and

632
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 8: he's going to be a problem.

633
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, that win is going to age gracefully. And I

634
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 6: do think this will be a mental hurdle for him.

635
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 6: I mean, thrill versus agony for Corey Sandhagen and everything

636
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 6: that he put into this training camp for this fight,

637
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 6: in this matchup to not even be able to throw

638
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 6: a strike. I didn't landed one strike. It's got to

639
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 6: be pretty debilitating.

640
00:29:46,360 --> 00:29:48,200
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, And I'll tell you what, Like,

641
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 8: we had really a good look for al Joe. It

642
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 8: was maybe when we when I asked al ju he

643
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 8: said no, the kid, the kid we used was maybe

644
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 8: like an inch or too big, but wow, he was

645
00:29:58,400 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 8: ready for the for.

646
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 7: The end up.

647
00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: Uh.

648
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 8: But again, you have to play to your strengths. I

649
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 8: love what he did. He made that guy go backwards

650
00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 8: and he got him against the cage and that was it. Man,

651
00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 8: it was just it was short and sweet and really

652
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 8: great to watch. And again just he really earned it.

653
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 7: You know.

654
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 8: And John, you were always a big advocate of Aljoe

655
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,600
Speaker 8: from day one, you know what I mean. So that's

656
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 8: off to you too, because I think you always believed

657
00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 8: in him.

658
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 6: Maybe more than you at times. Man, I've always thought

659
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:30,719
Speaker 6: he was going to be champion.

660
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 8: You know, a day I used to listen to you

661
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 8: and I just you know me, everything's a progression. I

662
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 8: want to make sure, like even I told out you

663
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 8: after this, I want you to have a good time.

664
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 8: I really do. I want you to have a great time.

665
00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,000
Speaker 8: But you might be getting the title shot quicker than

666
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 8: you think. You have to stay in shape and it's

667
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 8: going to be a five rounder. You cannot go off

668
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,360
Speaker 8: the rails as much as you want to. Right now,

669
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 8: I think there's a good chance Aldo something happens and

670
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 8: he's right in there, so I hope he listens, and

671
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 8: I think he will. But again, we're cad play hard.

672
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 8: You gotta go out.

673
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:02,680
Speaker 7: You gotta deserves it.

674
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, he deserves it. I don't want to take that away,

675
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 8: but you got to keep the big picture in mind.

676
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,760
Speaker 8: And you made it this fall. You weren't that shot.

677
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 8: Let's fucking be ready at.

678
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 6: Old talk stopping now, especially now you.

679
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 8: Don't know when the cools have come. Look what they're

680
00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 8: doing that recycling fighters every three weeks. Yes, it looks

681
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 8: like you know what I mean.

682
00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 6: No, you're right. If you are Brian kellerher or Ray

683
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,800
Speaker 6: Borg or Courtney Casey and you have been willing to

684
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 6: make that quick turn, it can be richly rewarding. And

685
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 6: you're right. He could be fighting for the belt in

686
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,520
Speaker 6: six weeks, you know, and Logo could find himself on

687
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 6: fight Island. So at least right now, it looks like

688
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 6: it's gonna be Pyodrjan or Jose Aldo who is next

689
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 6: for Aljo? Right, one of those two guys who will

690
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: presumably fight for the Bandwaight title. But Ray like he

691
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 6: took it out of the matchmaker's hands. I mean Aljo

692
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 6: literally took it out of the promotion's hands. Dana White

693
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:51,680
Speaker 6: has now said he's going to be next, even if

694
00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 6: he does have to wait six or seven months. Ray,

695
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 6: you can't let him sign about agreement that isn't for

696
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 6: a shot at the undisputed title. I've got to feel

697
00:31:58,360 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 6: pretty good to hear that.

698
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 8: I agree. I would definitely not. I'm surprised that he said,

699
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 8: even in the end of those strange things. No, Algi,

700
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,520
Speaker 8: you're fighting for the oh I know, period, that's it.

701
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 8: You're fighting for the title, and that's it. That's you

702
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 8: earned it and you're fighting for You earned it before

703
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,840
Speaker 8: this and you're fighting now. You're definitely fighting for the title.

704
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 8: I might if you're asking me, I'll tell you everybody

705
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 8: who's listening, do not sign that baut agreement list. It's

706
00:32:23,440 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 8: a title shot. You earned it. It's not even you know,

707
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 8: it's not even. It's not right. It wouldn't be fair.

708
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 8: We know Aldo's a big name, you.

709
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 7: Know what I mean.

710
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,960
Speaker 8: I get that part, you know, from the money, but

711
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 8: this kid earned it. You got to give him the shot.

712
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 7: Yeah.

713
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 1: So.

714
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

715
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 6: Cody Merrow, who is our chief marketing officer, produces Aljo's podcast,

716
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:44,240
Speaker 6: and he texted me Kenny that the betting line for

717
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 6: Jose Aldo versus Pyotr Jan right, he got Yon minus

718
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 6: two forty. Wow, Jose Alto Junior plus two oh five.

719
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 6: Water than I expected for sure. Now, I'm not saying

720
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 6: that just not on the strength of this five fight

721
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 6: winning streak and the win over Courts san Haagen that

722
00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 6: al Joe is definitely the favorite favorite against Pioldri Jan.

723
00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 6: But I do think it's a whole lot tighter than that.

724
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:08,520
Speaker 6: I mean, I think Jan Sterling is is a Pickham

725
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:11,000
Speaker 6: fight for me. But Aldo plus two.

726
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,040
Speaker 7: Oh five right now, that sounds juicy, That sounds in

727
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:14,680
Speaker 7: to me.

728
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: You you won't see Aldo with those numbers too often,

729
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: especially because a guy who you know certainly doesn't have

730
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 1: the experience he's He's fresher, no doubt, has less miles

731
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 1: on him, right, but doesn't have the experience of a

732
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: Jose Alder Jose Aldo not getting respect from the from

733
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: the bookies.

734
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that that those odds seem way off

735
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:34,920
Speaker 8: to me.

736
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, so, Ray, before we get to Morob Dwallis Schwilly.

737
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 6: I want to get to anything else you might have

738
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:46,680
Speaker 6: on USC two fifty, particularly Cody Stamen. Yeah, this has

739
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 6: to go down as one of the more remarkable performances

740
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 6: that I have ever seen in my life. And Ken

741
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,880
Speaker 6: Flow obviously can relate to this deeply, uh in terms

742
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 6: of losing a brother and what the aftermath the immediate

743
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 6: aftermath I should say of that is, but for Cody's

744
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 6: stateman who broke down in our fighter meeting, and you

745
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 6: knew that the emotions were going to be bottled as

746
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 6: best he could until the fight was over, and then

747
00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 6: they would come pouring out, and that's exactly the way

748
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,839
Speaker 6: it went down. But I just don't know, Kenny and Ray,

749
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 6: how how you compete in that setting. I mean, I

750
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 6: can't relate to the physical toughness of these athletes, never

751
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,439
Speaker 6: mind the mental nor emotional toughness. But Kenny, I'll start

752
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,320
Speaker 6: with you, man, I just don't know how Cody was

753
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 6: able to compete and compete as well as he did.

754
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 7: Neither do I.

755
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: You know, there's times where maybe he just needed to

756
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 1: go out there and express himself and kind of unleash

757
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 1: that energy.

758
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 7: I think that's probably what that was about.

759
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,640
Speaker 1: But having to put those emotions aside and really focus

760
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: on on a tough guy and Brian kellerher I thought

761
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: was really impressive. I'm not sure we've really seen anything

762
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,400
Speaker 1: like that, a turnaround quite like that after the loss

763
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:57,959
Speaker 1: of a brother.

764
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 7: I can't even imagine. My heart goes out to Cody

765
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 7: and his family.

766
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: Such a difficult thing to deal with, man, and having

767
00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,960
Speaker 1: to go out there and fight during these times under

768
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,680
Speaker 1: all this craziness that's going on on the world.

769
00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:15,359
Speaker 7: It was. It was very amazing and it was very

770
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 7: emotional to watch that.

771
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:17,680
Speaker 3: Yeah.

772
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 8: I mean, look, I had the pleasure of spending some

773
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,359
Speaker 8: time with Cody in Japan when I had Sazaki fighting

774
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 8: Crookshank vote on the card. Those guys are good guys. Man,

775
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 8: I did that thing killed me the other night, killed me.

776
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 8: Cody's name, and I mean, I really, I mean we

777
00:35:32,600 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 8: spent thisce. You know, we were in the same locker room.

778
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 8: He's a good guy. Crook Shank's a great guy. They

779
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:40,399
Speaker 8: had a girl with him. She was a sweetheart. Yeah,

780
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 8: I can't tell you how it's I just hope he

781
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,840
Speaker 8: he found some sort of peace and solace in just

782
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 8: fighting and letting it out. Everybody's different. I don't know

783
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 8: how the hell he did it. Well, what a great performance.

784
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:57,719
Speaker 8: And I gotta tell you, you know, Kellah is a

785
00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 8: nice guy. He's from Long Island. I never against Wong.

786
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 8: I'm not saying I was rootin, but in my head

787
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 8: Staman had to win that fight. But but just for

788
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,640
Speaker 8: what should be good in the world, he deserved that

789
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 8: win against a tough guy. And I got to tell you,

790
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:14,319
Speaker 8: I give Kellhu credit even jumping in there in that thing,

791
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:19,600
Speaker 8: because everybody's emotional, everybody has feelings, everybody's hopefully has some

792
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,320
Speaker 8: sort of empathy. That was such a crappy thing that

793
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 8: the only result was what we saw. He had to

794
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 8: win that fight. It made me feel great. Like again,

795
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,439
Speaker 8: anything I could ever do for your Cody, I would.

796
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,600
Speaker 8: I you know a few times I met you, always

797
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,439
Speaker 8: been a gentleman. It just sucks, man, But I hope

798
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 8: he found some sort of happiness in that, which I

799
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 8: think he did. It was a great performance. Is stand

800
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,319
Speaker 8: up looked on point. He did look great at forty five,

801
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 8: and man, that's a just a tough I just hope

802
00:36:50,239 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 8: he's find some sort of peace and you know, he

803
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 8: can move forward, because that's a tough intennon. Like you said,

804
00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 8: you know it. And I think there was a situation

805
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 8: years ago where Jim Miller lost his baby. He lost

806
00:37:01,880 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 8: his kid and he fought like two weeks later. So

807
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,320
Speaker 8: these are tough people, man, These are mentally tough people,

808
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 8: and they find a way and they have the resolved

809
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 8: and just the mental fortitude to push through and just

810
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 8: do what they love to do, and they know it's

811
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 8: they're doing it for the right reason. I'm sure Cody's

812
00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:24,319
Speaker 8: brother would have never wanted him not to take that fight,

813
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 8: you know what I mean, So he just pats off

814
00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:30,000
Speaker 8: to him. I just hope he's okay. And I can't

815
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:31,880
Speaker 8: relate to it because I've never gone through it, but

816
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,400
Speaker 8: I could tell you emotionally, I was in tears, so

817
00:37:35,560 --> 00:37:38,800
Speaker 8: I know I felt it, and I just hope he's okay.

818
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 6: I know DC lost an uncle once during fight week

819
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 6: and he had to really shut the family out and

820
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 6: he ended up submitting Rumble Johnson that weekend. But for

821
00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,319
Speaker 6: Cody's Stamon, I mean, this was his eighteen year old

822
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 6: brother the week before the fight. And for Ken Fla,

823
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 6: obviously your younger brother, you know, my younger brother had

824
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 6: open heart surgery a couple of years ago, and those

825
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 6: were the longest nine hours of my life. I can

826
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 6: tell you that, you know, so uh, just so much

827
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,360
Speaker 6: respect for Cody and certainly for Brian Kellerher who obviously

828
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 6: would have felt horribly. I think if he had finished Cody,

829
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 6: I think you're right, Ray, there was fine intervention with

830
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:14,040
Speaker 6: that outcome, all right before we let you go, Morob

831
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,280
Speaker 6: and the team staying out in Las Vegas. He's fighting

832
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:20,320
Speaker 6: Ray Boord coming up this weekend. He's a massive favorite,

833
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 6: your guy Rob getting a lot of respect from Las Vegas, Ray, Uh.

834
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 6: And truly, maybe because of the way those first two

835
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 6: fights went, isn't on the ascent that he could be

836
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 6: you and I have top privately, could be five and

837
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:31,959
Speaker 6: oh in the UFC right now.

838
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 8: Without of that, I think that's I think that's a

839
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 8: no brainer. He's that in my book, he's five and

840
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,240
Speaker 8: zero and just uh. I don't even want to rehitch

841
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 8: what happened in Jersey, but just give him an A

842
00:38:44,840 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 8: plus fucking bowls and toughness and just willing to die

843
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 8: in the acta guy and you got to give that

844
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 8: guy credit. Plus he's a great kid. Uh. He was

845
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 8: part of al Jo's camp. He's always in shape. If

846
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 8: you haven't watch his videos, he was non stop. You

847
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 8: got yeah, you gotta. Did you get a chance to

848
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 8: talk to him.

849
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,160
Speaker 6: I didn't get to talk to him, but I find

850
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 6: myself on his Instagram feed pretty pretty regular.

851
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 7: Real. Yes.

852
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 8: You know when they called me about the fight. You

853
00:39:11,360 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 8: know the kid that manages the Jim Steve Lee. I

854
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 8: go listen, talk to Morob. He'll tell you exactly what

855
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 8: he's feeling. If he wants to fight, that's good enough

856
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,440
Speaker 8: for me. And because he's he's very, very, just honest,

857
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 8: and you always get just a practical opinion from him,

858
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 8: you know what I mean. So he's a down to

859
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 8: earth kid. He's humble, he's grateful for everything he's got.

860
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 8: I think everybody could learn from him. I'm telling you

861
00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 8: we need more of those guys in this world. That's

862
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 8: all I can say.

863
00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 6: He's really a unifying force I think for the team too,

864
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 6: even if English is his second language.

865
00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 8: You know, listen, look in the times we're at now,

866
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 8: which are crazy. I mean, look at only all the

867
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 8: different personalities we have in this gym, and colors and ethnicity, ethnicities,

868
00:39:56,680 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 8: every dude, we just what I love about sports and music.

869
00:40:01,040 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 8: It transcends all that bullshit. You don't you don't see color,

870
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,759
Speaker 8: you don't see anything. You just see a person. You

871
00:40:06,840 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 8: see a human, you see a friend. You know, And

872
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 8: we have so many people from Albanians to you know,

873
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:17,560
Speaker 8: he's from Georgia, you know, black, white Spans. It doesn't

874
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 8: fucking matter. When you're in a gym and you're on

875
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 8: a team, it all comes together. And I think that's

876
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 8: what everybody has to learn from, man, because we definitely

877
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:27,120
Speaker 8: can all get along. And I don't want to even

878
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,520
Speaker 8: go to that, you know, going to that, but uh,

879
00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 8: just Morob is a good guy, and I'm telling you

880
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,239
Speaker 8: the world could use a lot more of those guys.

881
00:40:34,320 --> 00:40:36,680
Speaker 8: It's just he's a pleasure to be around. You could

882
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,919
Speaker 8: never be down when he's around. And if something's wrong,

883
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 8: he's there. You know, he's got his shoulder, you could cry.

884
00:40:43,040 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 8: He's just a great kit. I really are really a

885
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,600
Speaker 8: great kid. Look al Jo staying out there. Thank god

886
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 8: he didn't get hurt. But those guys are sticking together, man.

887
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 8: And again, you know, I don't want to take credit

888
00:40:54,239 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 8: for anybody's wins, but I want to take credit for

889
00:40:56,960 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 8: the culture of this gym and the way they on

890
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:03,600
Speaker 8: together for so many years. You guys, know, Kenn, you know,

891
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 8: it's hard to keep a place together, different personalities. Who

892
00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,719
Speaker 8: It's tough. Man. I don't know how much longer we

893
00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:12,520
Speaker 8: could do it. But man, I'm so proud of those

894
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 8: guys stepping up. It sucked for me being on the couch.

895
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 8: That's definitely the worst place for me. I you know,

896
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 8: I was I was gonna type something in between. I

897
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,760
Speaker 8: couldn't even get my fingers I was. I was panicking.

898
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,320
Speaker 8: I would my fingers were stuck, and thank god he

899
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:30,800
Speaker 8: got that thing out in the first round. I wouldn't

900
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 8: have made it to the second round. But again, these

901
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,240
Speaker 8: guys are phenomenal that they're loyal guys. They stick together,

902
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,080
Speaker 8: and you know, I think it's a you know, a

903
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 8: second family for a lot of people. And it's that

904
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 8: that was just that that wind was so good for

905
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:49,359
Speaker 8: so many reasons. It's it's you know, you know, from

906
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:51,759
Speaker 8: that if he would have lost, I probably would have

907
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 8: hung myself today, you know what I mean. But those guys,

908
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 8: you know, they out did a fucking great job.

909
00:41:57,880 --> 00:41:58,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

910
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,200
Speaker 8: You know, who doesn't respect that? I mean you know,

911
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:03,040
Speaker 8: I'm gonna say, even al Jo's I called it the

912
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 8: ripple effect, a trickle down mma. When I'll beat Kevin

913
00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,080
Speaker 8: Lee that time, man, he in fired al Joe and

914
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 8: Aljo went out. He had that performance against Muno's and

915
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 8: he's on a roll now, he's on a pair, you know. Uh,

916
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 8: And I love that, you know, And I love that

917
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 8: ripple effect concept, man, where one guy does good and

918
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 8: it just inspires a whole team of people. And that's

919
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 8: that's life, man, that's life to me.

920
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 6: Well, congrats on a huge w buddy. And the pre

921
00:42:30,600 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 6: fight parade and everything was great. And uh, I almost

922
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:35,279
Speaker 6: wanted to like FaceTime you before the fight and just

923
00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:36,839
Speaker 6: have you there on mute, but I thought it would

924
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,120
Speaker 6: distract me on the broadcast.

925
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 7: So enjoy it.

926
00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:41,880
Speaker 6: And you know, despite what they say on the streets, Ray,

948
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 6: but mal Ja main Sterling. There's no overstating how big

00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,239
Speaker 6: a victory that was. And congrats to all the other

950
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 6: winners at UFC two fifty. It was a memorable night.

951
00:43:41,560 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 6: Alex Perez getting it done with the calf kicks again,

952
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 6: Ken Flow. Somebody's got to figure some shit out, man,

953
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:48,680
Speaker 6: somebody's gotta figure it out.

954
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: I loved it, you know, again, to see that kind

955
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,320
Speaker 1: of damage done so quickly. I gets the guyland Formika,

956
00:43:56,360 --> 00:43:59,600
Speaker 1: who's been around the block once or twice or three times.

957
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: I thought was great to see those kicks were absolutely

958
00:44:03,360 --> 00:44:07,640
Speaker 1: brutal and just just hurt, you know. Anyway, I talked

959
00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: a little bit about on Twitter, just dealing with something

960
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 1: like shin splints for anyone who's run a lot or

961
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 1: played soccer a lot, and it's like shin splints times

962
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:20,600
Speaker 1: ten or having ship splints and then getting kicked right

963
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:22,000
Speaker 1: in the shit as hard as you can.

964
00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 7: It's absolutely brutal.

965
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: Guys are continuing to utilize this technique and people that

966
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:29,360
Speaker 1: need to be prepared for it in training.

967
00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 6: Man, it's brutal, right, you feel like your leg's broken.

968
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:33,400
Speaker 6: For me, you had to go down. Felt like he

969
00:44:33,480 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 6: broke his leg, you know.

970
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 1: And Garbrent utilizing it kind of sliding like a snake

971
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:41,760
Speaker 1: across the canvas, kicking it sweep, was freaking slick.

972
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 6: I love soccer, was my first thought. But I said

973
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,759
Speaker 6: it was beautiful, all right. This episode sponsored by Blue Cheo. Guys,

1001
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:03,759
Speaker 6: All Right, with that, it's time to make some picks

1002
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 6: for UFC Fight Night I versus Calvio, which beckons this

1003
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,440
Speaker 6: Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.

1004
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 6: Let's get to the main event challenge. It's the main

1005
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 6: event challenge and the time is most definitely hi finished fight.

1006
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 7: How do you everything?

1007
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:25,759
Speaker 4: Both will to win the main event challenge to John

1008
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,880
Speaker 4: Nick and Kenny Florian podcast.

1009
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 6: All right, so forty six apiece going into UFC two

1010
00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,880
Speaker 6: to fifty. Big week for our guy, Ian Parker on

1011
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 6: social media at Ian Parker MMA nine to five the

1012
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 6: final you guys had five dissenting picks. Ian went four

1013
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 6: and one on those fights, so the duck field himself

1014
00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:45,320
Speaker 6: a little bit this week. Now, most of the betting

1015
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 6: favorites came in across the board at UFC two to fifty,

1016
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 6: Like if you parlayed all five favorites on the main card,

1017
00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 6: that was a winning ticket. So perhaps some dogs are

1018
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 6: gonna bark this weekend. We also point out Ken Flow

1019
00:46:56,360 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 6: did change his co main event pick from a sunsout

1020
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,759
Speaker 6: of Garbrent fight week, so it's fifty five fifty one

1021
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,760
Speaker 6: three picks today. It's UFC Fight Night I versus Calvio

1022
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:09,680
Speaker 6: first one at bantamweight. Marob Dwalash Willie minus three sixty

1023
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,960
Speaker 6: and ray Borg is plus three hundred. So ed, if

1024
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 6: you're looking for Morob to get some respect for his efforts,

1025
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,520
Speaker 6: for his strength of schedule, he's getting it from Vegas.

1026
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 6: What do you think about the price and Marob against

1027
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 6: ray Borg.

1028
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:24,799
Speaker 3: Price is a little high, but I think that also

1029
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,440
Speaker 3: comes in based on ray Borg just losing to Ricky Simone,

1030
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 3: who can be considered somewhat of a similar fighter. Morob

1031
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:34,800
Speaker 3: is an absolute takedown in Cardio Machine, and we just

1032
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 3: saw that that's not someone that ray Borg does really

1033
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,560
Speaker 3: well against. And it's confusing because ray Borg is an

1034
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:43,520
Speaker 3: excellent grappler, but uh, you know, with the momentum of

1035
00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:46,560
Speaker 3: al Jo on that in that team, I love Morob

1036
00:47:46,600 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: in this position. I think it's a great name to

1037
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:50,200
Speaker 3: get on his resume as a win. So I'm going

1038
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 3: with Morob here, absolutely.

1039
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, Ken Flow hard to do much better than al

1040
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 6: Jamain Sterling is your primary fucking training partner if you're

1041
00:47:57,320 --> 00:47:59,520
Speaker 6: a badam weight in the UFC. Right now, ray Borg

1042
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,839
Speaker 6: and you know this, Kenny because you called a lot

1043
00:48:01,880 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 6: of his early fights. His seventh pro fight took place

1044
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 6: in the UFC. He was six and oh when he

1045
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 6: made his UFC debut in twenty fourteen, so it's got

1046
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,520
Speaker 6: a lot more UFC experience. Twelve times in the UFC.

1047
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 6: Of course, he fought DJ for the belt back in

1048
00:48:14,480 --> 00:48:17,279
Speaker 6: twenty seventeen, but he also fought Ricky Simone just twenty

1049
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 6: six days ago. And Kelleher looked pretty good against Cody

1050
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 6: Stateman with that quick turnaround. What do you think about

1051
00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 6: Borg making a quick turn and do you feel like

1052
00:48:26,280 --> 00:48:28,680
Speaker 6: he's as up against it as the odds suggest flow?

1053
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: You know, I think for Ray he has struggled with

1054
00:48:30,880 --> 00:48:33,520
Speaker 1: his weight in the past, obviously, you know, with this

1055
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: kind of quick turnaround, I don't think that's going to

1056
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: be a factor here. I thought he looked pretty good

1057
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,880
Speaker 1: in his last fight. Yes, he lost, but it was

1058
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,279
Speaker 1: very close. I thought he landed some excellent combinations. His

1059
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:48,360
Speaker 1: striking has improved a lot over the last year or so.

1060
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 1: I do think he's a dangerous grappler as well. Is

1061
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 1: he gonna beat Morob here?

1062
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:55,399
Speaker 7: I'm not so sure.

1063
00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,959
Speaker 1: I think you know, that quick turnaround and him having

1064
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 1: yes it was a good fight against them own, but

1065
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:03,040
Speaker 1: it was a tough fight.

1066
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:06,200
Speaker 7: He definitely took some damage. He gave some, but he

1067
00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 7: took them as well.

1068
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: I think that may come back to haunt them a

1069
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: little bit in misfight against Marob as well.

1070
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 7: I like Marod by decision here.

1071
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:15,839
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was a hard fifteen minute fight. I mean,

1072
00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 6: I love Borg's fearlessness and taking the risk, and I

1073
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 6: think the fact that he's won two of three allows

1074
00:49:21,520 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 6: him to take that risk even though he is coming

1075
00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:25,719
Speaker 6: off a loss. It would only be two in a row.

1076
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:28,560
Speaker 6: But if he loses this one, right, then there's a

1077
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 6: whole lot of pressure on him and his next fight

1078
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 6: to not lose three in a row. But that is

1079
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 6: one one Albuquerque. Tough dude, and he's got mouse to

1080
00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 6: feed and he's certainly a fighters fight, all right. Co

1081
00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 6: main event in the UFC midwaight division. A lot of

1082
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 6: heat on this one. I will set it up as

1083
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 6: quickly as I can. Marvin Vittori minus two to twenty,

1084
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 6: Carl Robertson plus one eighty will need the round of

1085
00:49:47,640 --> 00:49:49,960
Speaker 6: the method by the way, Ian as well. So VITORI

1086
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 6: had a fight scheduled against Darren Stewart March twenty first

1087
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 6: in London, Flies to London show gets canceled. Then he

1088
00:49:56,239 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 6: and Robertson were supposed to fight April twenty fifth, I

1089
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 6: think in Nebraska that and gets postponed. Then it was

1090
00:50:01,680 --> 00:50:04,879
Speaker 6: May thirteenth in Jacksonville. The fight was still on after

1091
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,319
Speaker 6: Robertson misses weight, but his body didn't cooperate there after

1092
00:50:08,440 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 6: he was hospitalized. The fight gets called off, but Torri

1093
00:50:10,680 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 6: goes nuts at the host hotel and I think rightfully so,

1094
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 6: by the way, and now this Saturday, June thirteenth, it

1095
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 6: shall be done. Ian Parker Robertson plus one eighty Vittori

1096
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:21,000
Speaker 6: monus T twenty.

1097
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 7: Who do you like?

1098
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,400
Speaker 9: I think if that video of the hotel didn't happen,

1099
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 9: that price would probably more like minus one ninety five.

1100
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 3: I guess the first time that ye is raised the

1101
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 3: odds based on some dudes fucking rage.

1102
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:33,439
Speaker 6: Look.

1103
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 3: I think Martin Vittori is a special fighter in this division.

1104
00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:40,080
Speaker 3: I think it's somebody that probably hasn't talked about a lot,

1105
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 3: and his performances he.

1106
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 7: Keeps getting better.

1107
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:43,520
Speaker 9: Cardio is not an option.

1108
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 3: His combinations are there. I love his IQ in the

1109
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,560
Speaker 3: cage his angles. I think he's just a very smart fighter,

1110
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: and even.

1111
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,680
Speaker 9: Though I guess he is an emotional guy, this will

1112
00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 9: be a test.

1113
00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:54,160
Speaker 3: Whether we see if that happens in a negative way

1114
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,680
Speaker 3: towards him, because Roberson is one hell of an athlete.

1115
00:50:57,000 --> 00:50:58,719
Speaker 3: You know, some about a guy that almost put away

1116
00:50:58,760 --> 00:51:02,040
Speaker 3: to share and in a situation that not many obviously,

1117
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: as we saw Glover fight against someone like Anthony Smith

1118
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 3: doesn't happen too often.

1119
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 9: I still like Victory here. I think he's one of

1120
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:10,439
Speaker 9: those future guys I see going to the top.

1121
00:51:10,680 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 3: I'd love to see him in out of Sonya fight

1122
00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 3: at some point in the future, just because I know.

1123
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,320
Speaker 3: I think he fought out of Sonya really early and

1124
00:51:16,520 --> 00:51:18,880
Speaker 3: out of Sonya's UFC career, and he did well. I

1125
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,320
Speaker 3: like Vittori here. I don't like it at minus two twenty.

1126
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,840
Speaker 9: Though, I gotta be honest, it's a little higher than

1127
00:51:22,880 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 9: I like against.

1128
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 6: Gyle like Roberson, but I do like Marvin here can flow.

1129
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 6: Marvin Victoria's two in a row all right, by decision.

1130
00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 6: So Vittoria's won two in a row since that split

1131
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 6: decision lost to Israelata Sonya. Kenny Robertson on the other side,

1132
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 6: good athlete, he was a good baseball player. He's won

1133
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:41,040
Speaker 6: two in a row as well. What do you think

1134
00:51:41,160 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 6: Robertson the dog or Vittoria the favorite?

1135
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:45,799
Speaker 7: For you kid, geez, you know this.

1136
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,520
Speaker 1: Is a little bit closer, a closer fight for sure.

1137
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,680
Speaker 1: I think that yeah, uh ian Ian pretty much nailed it.

1138
00:51:53,800 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: I think that Vittori needs to keep his emotions in

1139
00:51:56,400 --> 00:52:00,720
Speaker 1: check here. Robertson as well for that matter. But Vittori

1140
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,479
Speaker 1: is huge for the division. I think he's gonna prush

1141
00:52:03,560 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: for him. He's got a good chin. I see Robertson

1142
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,359
Speaker 1: probably getting tired in and around the third round. Let's

1143
00:52:10,360 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 1: go with third round TKO for Vittori.

1144
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 6: Third round TKO for Marvin Vittori is the pick to

1145
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 6: click for canfalone. One thing too, I just want to say, guys,

1146
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:19,680
Speaker 6: I don't make picks in this space obviously or anywhere,

1147
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 6: but ray Borg get plus three hundred in our scoring system,

1148
00:52:22,640 --> 00:52:25,719
Speaker 6: because that is a four point winner, I'd probably just

1149
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,400
Speaker 6: fucking take a flyer on him, even though I understand

1150
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 6: the challenges that are up against him and from a

1151
00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 6: strength perspective and having fought recently. But to me, in

1152
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 6: our scoring system, I am surprised at plus three hundred

1153
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 6: that neither one of you was willing to pull the

1154
00:52:37,880 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 6: trigger in Well, here's the thing.

1155
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: One Ray told me if I ever picked against one

1156
00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:44,759
Speaker 3: of his guys, he'll just own me.

1157
00:52:44,840 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 9: So just based on that alone, I can't do it.

1158
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:47,359
Speaker 8: Two.

1159
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:51,440
Speaker 9: You know what, normally, to your point, listen, borg is

1160
00:52:51,920 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 9: is fought the best of the best.

1161
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 3: Literally, I just really don't like him fighting someone like

1162
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,600
Speaker 3: Moram with the cardio and the takedowns and just the

1163
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,799
Speaker 3: foward aggression after fighting someone in simone that was tough.

1164
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 9: Otherwise, to your point, yeah, it's a it's a value

1165
00:53:05,320 --> 00:53:05,839
Speaker 9: play for sure.

1166
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:07,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, and now you've got a four point lead, so

1167
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 6: you're not in a position where you have to chase

1168
00:53:09,320 --> 00:53:11,440
Speaker 6: points at least right now as we sit here on

1169
00:53:11,600 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 6: the eighth of June. All right, main event, we're gonna

1170
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 6: have it be led by Team Florian this week. It's

1171
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 6: Jessica I minus one point fifteen Cynthia Calvio minus one

1172
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 6: Zho five Flow will need the round of the method

1173
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 6: of victory, So Calvio an ever so slight underdog here,

1174
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 6: moving up to one hundred and twenty five pounds as

1175
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 6: she faces the division's number one contender, so both women

1176
00:53:32,400 --> 00:53:34,880
Speaker 6: missed weight for their last fight. Calvio was four and

1177
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 6: a half over for her draw with Marina Hadriguez. I

1178
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:42,319
Speaker 6: was fucking five over the flyweight limit for her win

1179
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 6: over Viviani outa Uzio, even though she looked great in

1180
00:53:45,960 --> 00:53:48,120
Speaker 6: that fight. Kenny, what do you think about the main

1181
00:53:48,200 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 6: event here?

1182
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: Geez, well, you know, I think Calvio is definitely gonna

1183
00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:55,920
Speaker 1: be the better grappler, There's no doubt about that. I

1184
00:53:56,080 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 1: think Jessica has more experience on the feet, probably a

1185
00:53:59,560 --> 00:54:03,759
Speaker 1: little bit sharper with her boxing. For Kelvio, I think

1186
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:06,360
Speaker 1: she needs to get her wrestling in order. You know,

1187
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:09,560
Speaker 1: if she's been doing her job, doing her homework, she

1188
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:12,160
Speaker 1: should be coming in here with some sharp takedowns where

1189
00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,920
Speaker 1: she can really take advantage of Jessica. I think that

1190
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: Calvio will be able to find a way to get

1191
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 1: this fight to the ground.

1192
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 7: I see her getting the win. Let's go with second

1193
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 7: round submission.

1194
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:29,280
Speaker 6: Round two submission for Cynthia Calvio for Ken Flow, Jessica

1195
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:32,480
Speaker 6: i Ian has won four of five that followed a

1196
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 6: four fight losing streak. Of course, the only loss in

1197
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 6: there that vicious headkit courtesy of Valentina Chevchenko. So I

1198
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:42,319
Speaker 6: a pretty good bet historically to go the distance. She's

1199
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 6: done so in eight of her last nine. We're scheduled

1200
00:54:44,600 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 6: for twenty five minutes here. Ian Parker need a selection

1201
00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:48,080
Speaker 6: on the main event?

1202
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:48,319
Speaker 7: Kid?

1203
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:52,080
Speaker 9: Do I be a dick and just tail Kenny's picks

1204
00:54:52,160 --> 00:54:53,120
Speaker 9: for the rest of the year.

1205
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:53,719
Speaker 8: In Coast.

1206
00:54:55,320 --> 00:54:57,239
Speaker 6: Well, you picked before him too often, so you can't.

1207
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:59,399
Speaker 3: We can change him during the week, but now I'm

1208
00:54:59,440 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 3: kidding that's no fun. This is an interesting pick, obviously

1209
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,600
Speaker 3: not the people's ideal main event here, and I'm very

1210
00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 3: curious to how this five rounds goes for someone like Veo.

1211
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 3: We haven't seen her do that yet.

1212
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 9: Kenny's got probably the best point out of all this.

1213
00:55:13,560 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 3: The biggest difference here outside of the hype, I believe

1214
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 3: is going to be the wrestling and grappling from Cynthia,

1215
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,080
Speaker 3: but we just don't see her utilizing it that much.

1216
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,040
Speaker 3: And you can go back to her fight against Courtney Casey,

1217
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,680
Speaker 3: where she was fighting a taller, predominant striker who now

1218
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,280
Speaker 3: we've seen turned into a little bit of a submission

1219
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:32,239
Speaker 3: specialist as well. She was throwing a lot of Haymakers

1220
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 3: trying to throw you know, she wasn't really fighting her

1221
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 3: way in that distance really threw her off.

1222
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:37,880
Speaker 9: I think she's had time to work on that.

1223
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:40,439
Speaker 3: I do think I is not used to fighting someone

1224
00:55:40,520 --> 00:55:43,399
Speaker 3: maybe as aggressive, And I think the Kenny's point here,

1225
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 3: I mean, this.

1226
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 9: Is a hard pick. This really is, you know, because

1227
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 9: I do think it's going to go to a decision.

1228
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 3: I don't think either one is going to take the

1229
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 3: other out. I just don't see the power there, you know.

1230
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 3: And I's last, you know, when she didn't fight that

1231
00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,839
Speaker 3: opponent wasn't near Cynthia Cavillo's level. In my opinion, that's

1232
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,800
Speaker 3: a factor too. That was kind of a prospect that

1233
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,000
Speaker 3: I thought was rushed up a little too quickly against

1234
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: a veteran. So I'm going to also take Cynthia here.

1235
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 3: I think she needs to go back to that wrestling route.

1236
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 3: That's where she got to where she was so quick.

1237
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:12,600
Speaker 8: It was a good.

1238
00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,840
Speaker 9: Prospect that everyone was looking at. I like Cynthia by decision, and.

1239
00:56:15,920 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 6: She's pumped to not be cutting down to one hundred

1240
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 6: and sixteen pounds, And what an opportunity for Calvio in

1241
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 6: what is a thin division, respectfully, at least at the top.

1242
00:56:24,480 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 6: She's fighting the number one contender in her UFC Flyway debut,

1243
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 6: so you know this division didn't exist when Calvio made

1244
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 6: her UFC debut. If she beats Jessica, she becomes the

1245
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 6: number one contender, might be fighting Valentina inside of a year,

1246
00:56:35,760 --> 00:56:37,880
Speaker 6: which is crazy to think about. All right, well, now

1247
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 6: the team Annik has the leading and we kind of

1248
00:56:39,520 --> 00:56:42,360
Speaker 6: got to determine the punishment. So we do want to

1249
00:56:42,400 --> 00:56:45,480
Speaker 6: hear from our Antaki Florian podcast listeners. So the loser

1250
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,440
Speaker 6: of the twenty twenty main Event challenge has to do

1251
00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 6: something that is determined by the winner. Now I have

1252
00:56:51,400 --> 00:56:53,719
Speaker 6: to pay off that bet, but Ian has said he

1253
00:56:53,880 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 6: is going to join me in whatever that endeavor is.

1254
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:58,320
Speaker 6: So at Anti Florian pod on Instagram or Twitter and

1255
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 6: we'll let Ken Flow and co Marrow maybe come up

1256
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,359
Speaker 6: with what the final decision is gonna be. But uh,

1257
00:57:03,560 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 6: any suggestions were welcome. I mean, Ian, I think the

1258
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 6: Power Hour U has some legs, just because I know

1259
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 6: if Ken Flow had to drink seven and the third

1260
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 6: beers in an hour, he'd be.

1261
00:57:12,640 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 7: Fucked dude, one beer.

1262
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 6: I know, well you and me, both Ken Flow and

1263
00:57:16,880 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 6: I have low alcohol tolerance. Let's just put it out there.

1264
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you were impressive at your charity job, so

1265
00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 3: I think you're playing that a little too close to

1266
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 3: the cuff there. Actually, I'm gonna coll complete bullshit because

1267
00:57:29,440 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 3: you had like seven pineapple tequilas. Your brother had like

1268
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 3: three chicken wings and he's the one that fell through

1269
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,920
Speaker 3: a table on the right, so that, I.

1270
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 9: Swear to guys, John was in the corner. I'm watching

1271
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:43,480
Speaker 9: John Blovics verst John the last breaks. John's like, what happened?

1272
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 9: Like your brother fell through a table? Dude, you're doing

1273
00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 9: a fucking You're doing a fucking shoey and then you're

1274
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 9: following me on Instagram.

1275
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1276
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 6: I do think that the Instagram followed maybe would be

1277
00:57:55,720 --> 00:57:56,920
Speaker 6: part of it, and there would have to be some

1278
00:57:57,040 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 6: language that he couldn't follow you. Uh And yeah, I

1279
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,800
Speaker 6: think that's all good stuff. But we will, uh, we

1280
00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 6: will push that to the listeners and see if we

1281
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 6: get anywhere. If you want more content from Ian, it

1282
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 6: is at Ian Parker Mma Ken Flow. Don't want that

1283
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,760
Speaker 6: Instagram content, folks, but if you do, it's at Ian

1284
00:58:12,880 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 6: Parker mma on Instagram. And I'm following Ian's one of

1285
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:18,360
Speaker 6: my good friends. So I'm following dude n all.

1286
00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:20,480

00:58:20,520 --> 00:58:23,200
Speaker 3: of you fucking guys. Of course that's why he likes it,

1288
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 3: you know, if it's something you're just me by myself.

1289
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 9: Nothing. I got Ray Longo retweeting my tweets.

1290
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 8: We're like a reunited family again.

1291
00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 7: And we're coming. Yeah, Kenny, that's amazing.

1292
00:58:33,720 --> 00:58:35,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, you and Logo are in a good place, all right, Ian, Thanks,

1293
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:37,919
Speaker 6: good job. Well, we'll see how it goes this week

1294
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 6: and we'll talk to you next Monday as we look

1295
00:58:39,480 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 6: ahead to uh To Blades and Volkov. Thanks buddy, You

1296
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:45,000
Speaker 6: got it, guys. All right, So ken flow before we

1297
00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 6: get on out of here. Connor McGregor has announced his retirement,

1298
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:51,120
Speaker 6: I believe for the third time in the last four years.

1299
00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 6: Some quotes courtesy of ESPN dot COM's Ariel Hell wanna

1300
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,880
Speaker 6: hear they should have just kept the ball rolling. I mean,

1301
00:58:56,920 --> 00:58:59,600
Speaker 6: why are they pushing Kabib versus Gaechie back to September?

1302
00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 6: You know what's happen in September. Something else is gonna

1303
00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 6: happen in September, and that's not gonna happen. I laid

1304
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 6: out a plan and a method that was the right move,

1305
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:07,960
Speaker 6: the right methods to go with, and they always want

1306
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,440
Speaker 6: to bock at that and not make it happen, or

1307
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:11,440
Speaker 6: just drag it on. Whatever I say. They want to

1308
00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 6: go against it to show some kind of power. They

1309
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:14,840
Speaker 6: should have just done the fight me and justin for

1310
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 6: the interim title and just kept the ball rolling. In

1311
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 6: one final quote, Kenny, I had my goals, my plans

1312
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 6: the season, right. You heard McGregor talk a lot about

1313
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 6: this fighting season in twenty twenty. I had everything laid out. Obviously,

1314
00:59:26,080 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 6: the world has gone bleeding bonkers at the minute. There's

1315
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:30,840
Speaker 6: fuck all happening at the minute. They want to throw me.

1316
00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 6: This is the line. They want to throw me up

1317
00:59:32,600 --> 00:59:34,800
Speaker 6: and down weights and offer me stupid fights. I don't

1318
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 6: really give a fuck. I'm over it. So at least

1319
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 6: right now, Connor seems to want to fight. It seems

1320
00:59:41,040 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 6: like he was starting to maybe cut down to fifty five.

1321
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,680
Speaker 6: Doesn't seem satisfied with the fights that are being offered.

1322
00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 6: We've talked a lot about maybe some of the promotional challenges.

1323
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:50,440
Speaker 6: You know, you're going to trot this guy out with

1324
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,080
Speaker 6: no gate at the UFC Apex. You gotta take him

1325
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 6: to fight Island with no fans. There's a lot of

1326
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,800
Speaker 6: different parts to this. I'm just curious how this Connor

1327
00:59:58,880 --> 01:00:01,560
Speaker 6: McGregor k news sort of registered on your plate over

1328
01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 6: the weekend, if at all.

1329
01:00:03,080 --> 01:00:03,360
Speaker 7: Listen.

1330
01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: I think he's being pretty candid about this. I think

1331
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:10,280
Speaker 1: he envisioned himself really working towards a title. Uh in

1332
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:16,040
Speaker 1: the UFC's lightweight division. It seems like, you know, he's

1333
01:00:16,080 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 1: probably not getting the fights that he wants. Obviously, I

1334
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:20,880
Speaker 1: think it made I thought it made a lot of

1335
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,960
Speaker 1: sense for him to fight Gaichie. But again with this

1336
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 1: weird time again, would the UFC sacrifice a fight with

1337
01:00:28,400 --> 01:00:31,360
Speaker 1: no crowd for a gay chie Connor fight right now?

1338
01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 7: Doesn't make sense? Maybe you know Connor for any fight

1339
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 7: right now. Uh So, I don't know.

1340
01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 1: I think Connor, if he wants to fight, he wants

1341
01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 1: to have a fight that's going to be a true

1342
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 1: challenge for him. So we can go out and train

1343
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:45,919
Speaker 1: hard to look like he was putting in the work

1344
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 1: and and staying in shape and saying the right things.

1345
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 1: And I also feel like he has a lot of

1346
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: leverage right now in today's UFC environment when you have

1347
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: John Jones, Henry s Hudo, and mas Vidal saying that

1348
01:00:57,800 --> 01:00:59,400
Speaker 1: they're all going to retire. They all want to be

1349
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 1: released from UFC contract. So it's an interesting time right

1350
01:01:03,040 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: now for not just these guys, but all the fighters.

1351
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,240
Speaker 7: And I don't know. Do I believe that he's going

1352
01:01:09,320 --> 01:01:10,360
Speaker 7: to be retired at this point?

1353
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: No? Can he retire at this point, yes, absolutely, but

1354
01:01:15,840 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 1: I think it for Connor unfortunately, he's just gonna have

1355
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 1: to wait for that right time. After maybe Habib and

1356
01:01:22,200 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: Gate you to fight, and when things get back to

1357
01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 1: normal again, God willing, we'll see him back in the

1358
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 1: Octor gun.

1359
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 7: See.

1360
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 6: I just don't think he's satisfied when it comes to

1361
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,919
Speaker 6: his MMA legacy. So when you say he can walk away,

1362
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:36,360
Speaker 6: I think in many ways he can. Financially, of course

1363
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 6: he can. I know you're back. Ultimately took the decision

1364
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 6: out of your hands. There's no career ending injury right

1365
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 6: now for Connor McGregor. But I don't think he can

1366
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:48,959
Speaker 6: really enjoy his retirement without building upon his mixed martial

1367
01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 6: arts legacy. I do believe, and I've been wrong before

1368
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 6: and maybe I'm wrong about this, you know, but I

1369
01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,320
Speaker 6: believe in his heart that he cares deeply about his

1370
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 6: MMA legacy and wants so badly to his goat comments

1371
01:01:59,520 --> 01:02:01,760
Speaker 6: not all that long ago, wants to add to it

1372
01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 6: so badly that I just don't.

1373
01:02:03,000 --> 01:02:05,120
Speaker 1: Believe at all that he's walking away for good. I

1374
01:02:05,200 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: also feel like we haven't seen the best Connor just yet.

1375
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:11,080
Speaker 1: I still think that as a martial artist and a

1376
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,280
Speaker 1: guy who truly loves to learn the game, he has

1377
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:15,080
Speaker 1: a lot more to show.

1378
01:02:15,200 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 7: He's still in his prime.

1379
01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,400
Speaker 1: It would be a shame to not see him fulfill

1380
01:02:19,480 --> 01:02:22,880
Speaker 1: that potential and to show, you know, the other tricks

1381
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:25,920
Speaker 1: that he most certainly has up his sleep before I.

1382
01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:26,320
Speaker 7: Let you go.

1383
01:02:26,520 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 6: Las Vegas is opening up. I couldn't even believe the

1384
01:02:29,240 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 6: extent to which it was opening up. Obviously, here in

1385
01:02:31,840 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 6: South Florida, Myke County, Palm Beach County, not so great

1386
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,479
Speaker 6: rises in cases, but for the most part, the state

1387
01:02:37,560 --> 01:02:42,200
Speaker 6: is starting to open up. Any update on mrakibjjmurackibjj dot

1388
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 6: com or you're still sort of in a holding pattern

1389
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:45,840
Speaker 6: or anything, We're.

1390
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 7: Still in a holding pattern.

1391
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,240
Speaker 1: We've gotten word that things are going to start to

1392
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,080
Speaker 1: open up for gym's like hours in the next week

1393
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: or two you kind of still have to go out

1394
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:57,200
Speaker 1: and fill these documents out to kind of get approval

1395
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:00,520
Speaker 1: from the county that you're a business that's going to

1396
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:02,200
Speaker 1: be responsible and blah blah blah.

1397
01:03:02,560 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 7: It's good to see businesses open.

1398
01:03:04,320 --> 01:03:07,040
Speaker 1: I think it should have been done a little bit earlier,

1399
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:10,920
Speaker 1: to be honest, as long as you're being responsible and

1400
01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: taking the certain precautions, I think it's a travesty for

1401
01:03:13,680 --> 01:03:15,520
Speaker 1: a lot of these business owners. I thought in the

1402
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: beginning this was something to be feared. Absolutely, it's a

1403
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,080
Speaker 1: real thing. But to put a lot of these business owners,

1404
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:25,800
Speaker 1: especially those that have been putting their life towards these

1405
01:03:25,840 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: things like these small mom and pop shops. These guys

1406
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 1: have been you know, working their ass off for twenty

1407
01:03:30,720 --> 01:03:33,200
Speaker 1: twenty five years and for them to you know, not

1408
01:03:33,320 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: be able to provide for their family, I think it's

1409
01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: a hard thing to ask for a month, two months,

1410
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 1: three months now going on going on for this. So

1411
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: again it's time for things to start opening up, and

1412
01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:49,560
Speaker 1: as long as people are responsible, I think it's I

1413
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: think it's the right right choice. So hopefully we'll be

1414
01:03:51,680 --> 01:03:53,760
Speaker 1: up and running. And you know, I know our students

1415
01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:54,959
Speaker 1: are really itchy to get.

1416
01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 6: Back to it, right, And hopefully Buffer doesn't sue you

1417
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,760
Speaker 6: for just saying it's time there, because that would only compare.

1418
01:03:59,840 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 1: That's right, geez, I didn't even realize that I'm just

1419
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 1: gonna right now he's calling me right now.

1420
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:09,080
Speaker 6: Buff I'm sorry, dude, You're just gonna say it's time

1421
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:10,440
Speaker 6: like out of the blue, right.

1422
01:04:10,560 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 7: I know that I'm gonna hire all these lawyers.

1423
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 5: Now.

1424
01:04:15,120 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 6: We do wish you all the best because, of course,

1425
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:19,560
Speaker 6: my identical twin brother is a small business owner and

1426
01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,960
Speaker 6: they have stayed open and been able to do so.

1427
01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 6: But I really do feel for you guys, and uh,

1428
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:27,160
Speaker 6: i'd imagine when people come back, you do the temperature

1429
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 6: screening at the very least when they walk on the door.

1430
01:04:29,400 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we have all these you know, new protocols that

1431
01:04:32,080 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 1: we're going to be following and uh, you know, make

1432
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:34,919
Speaker 1: sure safe.

1433
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 6: It gives me a great excuse to never go back

1434
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,400
Speaker 6: to American Top Team West Palm Beach and train the rest.

1435
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: Sorry, no, it's the same thing, dude, I you know,

1436
01:04:43,720 --> 01:04:46,400
Speaker 1: for me, it's like Florida Martial Arts Center, same exact thing.

1437
01:04:46,480 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 7: So every business, everything that I do is been limited

1438
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 7: by this.

1439
01:04:50,280 --> 01:04:52,240
