00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 2: it's great.

83
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not really a full cup of coffee. It's

84
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 1: like the one you have four times a day, but

85
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: it's all right. Nonetheless, I've already had a rain energy

86
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: drink and I've had a couple of coffee, so I'm

87
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,000

88
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 1: Morning Combat at gmail dot com for Wednesday's fan subs,

90
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to say, you know, I start my day

91
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: with coffee, but I should be starting my day with

92
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: AG one. Have you started your day with AG one?

93
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: Dude? I got AG one up in this bottle right here, Luke,

94
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,039
Speaker 2: because one scoop, one tiny scoop a day of these

95
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 2: fine vitamins and and you know, energy producing supplements inside

96
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: your body. Luke, it doesn't replace everything I'm not giving

97
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,239
Speaker 2: myself through my diet. But you want to talk about

98
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: building that foundation, changing the way your body feels and reacts.

99
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: This is a great shortcut to that if you're looking

100
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 2: to start on down that road. Let me tell you

101
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 2: that much, Luke, no.

102
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:47,800
Speaker 1: Doubt about it. Of course, it supports immune health, gut health. Obviously,

Speaker 1: it gives you we have seventy five vitamins and minerals, adaptogens, probiotics.

104

105
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: your day and bc easy to travel with it? Is

106
00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: it not exactly?

107
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: I got the travel packs. It's one scoop every morning,

108
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: go on your day. And you know it doesn't taste

109
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: like super healthy, but it tastes clean and I can

110
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 2: use that and I love it. And Luke, when you

111
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: get these special blend of ingredients together, you know what's

112

114
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 2: it's not that hard and it tastes great. What are

115
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: we missing here? You know what doesn't it have?

116
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: Luke?

117
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: Why can't you commit to this thing because of you?

118
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: Is it a you thing?

119
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: It's a lifestylf. It's lifestyle friendly, whether you eat keto, Paleo,

120
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: vegan dairy for your gluten free It's less than one

121
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: gram of sugar, no GMOs, no nasty chemicals or artificial anything,

122
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: while still tasting good.

123
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,560

Speaker 2: The price. Okay, it costs less than three dollars per day,

125
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,799
Speaker 2: so you're basically investing in your health, and yet it's

126
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: still cheaper than that cold brew habit that you have, Luke.

127
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,679

00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, if he didn't throw the Kimbo fight, he

158
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: should off at this point, Luke.

159
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: Right, I don't know why you're so convinced Kimbo couldn't

160
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: win that.

161
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 2: I mean, when you're ready to deal with Little Nug's

162
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 2: true value, so to speak, Luke, I'll be meeting you

163
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 2: on the other end of that conversation about is.

164
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: This one of your Tower seven conspiracies?

165
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I can't comment publicly on any of that stuff, Luke. Okay,

166
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 2: I mean, thank you. I mean I believe in a

167
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 2: few you know, up it to be fair. Conspiracy used

168
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: to I mean they're addicting, but they used to be fun.

169
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 2: And then you know, like the Maga people just ruined it, Lud.

170
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 1: They did ruin it well, and they ruined a lot

171
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: of things. But yes, they also ruined conspiracies. Okay, let's

172
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: get to this one if we can. Topic number one.

173
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: This was kind of announced on Saturday night, but really

174
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to get to it given to

175
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: what we're going over the results of the fights themselves.

176
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 1: But the UFC two to seventy six fight card was announced. Now,

177
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: why is this relevant. Well, this is not really the

178
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 1: one in early July. This is International Fight Week, so

179
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: we have our International Fight Week card. This is traditionally

180
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: considered to be one of the bigger UFC cards, if

181
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: not the biggest UFC card of the year. And here

182
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: is the fight card as we understand it. It'll be

183
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: Israel design at a sign and how we want to

184
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: call it versus Jared Kennon here of course, that'll be

185
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: for the middleweight title Alexander Volkanovsky, Max Holloway, featherweight title,

186
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 1: Sean Strickland versus Alex Pereira. Hey, BC, did you see

187
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: Sean Strickland's tweets about trying marijuana for the first time?

188
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: No, I didn't.

189
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: They His review was he didn't like the way it

190
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: made him feel. It made him feel sluggish, and that

191
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 1: was really unfortunate event that they have to kill someone

192
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: at a moment's notice. I was like, that wouldn't that

193
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: wouldn't be my reviewableed But uh yeah, okay, this is

194
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: this is a stupid sport, all right, Lauren Murphy.

195
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 2: If I found out he grew up loving Cannibal Corpse

196
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 2: at this point, I'd go, I get it, I get it.

197
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: No, I guarantee you dude. People who like that are

198
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: into the are into like that. It's nonsense, not that

199
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: it's like real, you got you got it all confused anyway.

200
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: Lauren Mpever Ramstein all right, Luke, thank you.

201
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a little bit better. Lauren Murphy versus Misha Tate,

202
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 1: Pedro Munios versus Showan O'Malley Andre Munize versus Ryah Hall,

203
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 1: Jessica I versus Macy Barber, Brad Tavares versus Dricus Dupless,

204
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: and then Robbie Lawler versus Brian Barbino. There might be

205
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: some other ones added to it, but this is the

206
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: official one as we have it today. BC rate the

207
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: International Fight Week card for UFC two seventy six.

208
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: I'd say very good, not great. Very good though, And

209
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 2: obviously sometimes all you need are is God. Sometimes all

210
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 2: you need is one great fight. But certainly sometimes if

211
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,240
Speaker 2: you have two great title fights atop the marquis can

212
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 2: cover all sins. This has two great title fights. Believe me,

213
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 2: I'm I'm one of these hardcore sleepers that at Asnia

214
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 2: Cannoneer is a very interesting and fun fight. But you

215
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: add in the trilogy of Max in Vulk. I mean,

216
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: come on, that's great from there on down, Luke, I

217
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: think it's missing that one shiny third jewel, right that

218
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 2: that gay Chee Chandler, that hamzat Nate, even though neither

219
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 2: of us really wanted that. Specifically, you do get Sean

220
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: Strickling Alex Padedo, which I love, I don't hate on Lord.

221
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 1: He's missing. It's missing Connor McGregor. That's what it's missing.

222
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 2: Well, he's not ready, but I don't think it's necessarily

223
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: I think you just mean that third special fight, Luke.

224
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:41,599
Speaker 2: A lot of times that third like this, could you

225
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: if it was Yoanna versus Wayley two as that third

226
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 2: special fight? It's a great card suddenly, I mean freaking great, Luke.

227
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, but here's what I mean when I say

228
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,719
Speaker 1: it's missing Connor. I don't mean it's missing Connor in

229
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: the sense that he's available and they should have put

230
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: him on it. Of course, if he's not ready, he's

231
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: not ready. What I mean is the like for example,

232
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: over the weekend, I was I always checked to see

233
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: YouTube trending, which will change depending on your country's results.

234
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: So I'm only looking for the US market and what

235
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: it has the following Sunday and Monday. But the only

236
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: UFC two seventy four video that showed up in the

237
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: US after the fact was just Israel's reaction video, Like

238
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: he just did a reaction he does and then but

239
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: Canelo was like number one or number two. Now, of

240
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: course I'm not trying to make a one to one

241
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: comparison here, but I'm merely pointing out that what Connor

242
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: brings is just a certain amount of pageantry and scope

243
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: and casting a halo. I don't even care about like

244
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: his fight, how meaningful it would be for the sport,

245
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,199
Speaker 1: rather just how it lifts everything up and gives it

246
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 1: a greater it gives it a greater grandiosity about it all.

247
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: Like if he was fighting, I don't know what would

248
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,360
Speaker 1: be the right one right comparison here, Maybe not maybe

249
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: not mas of at all, But if he was fighting,

250
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't know, for the interim title or something like that,

251
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: or if he was fighting just right up charge can

252
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 1: imagine if him versus Charles was at the top of

253
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: this card, how crazy it would be.

254
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: Agsp You're basically saying water is wet, sky is blue.

255
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 2: I get, I mean, we get it. Look okay, it's

256
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,080
Speaker 2: not it's not. This isn't Connor level.

257
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 1: No, you know, there's very fuch this This is the point,

258
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: I guess I'm trying to make it. Well, if you

259
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: look at the historical fight you have C two sixty four,

260
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: which was the previous international fight week was pari a

261
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: McGregor three, So there you go. It actually had that

262
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: before that Usman mas butt All. Now that was over

263
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: in what you call it in Abu Dhabi, before that Jones, Santos, Cormier, Miochic, Whittaker,

264
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: then Ridiker, UFC two thirteen, Whittaker, Romero, you f C

265
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: two hundred that you need to know was on that one,

266
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: UFC one dy nine McGregor, Mendez. You have S one

267
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: seventy five Wideman mi Chido, you have SEE one sixty

268
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: two Wideman Silva, and then UFC one forty eight Silva

269
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 1: son In two. So there's been these real central figures

270
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: in the sport. I guess you could argue this point

271
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 1: that Israel has taken that role, but it does seem

272
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: to me that like the cards have usually featured the

273
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: sport's biggest star at the time or something approximating it.

274
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a little bit off.

275
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,200
Speaker 2: Here Israel has the accomplishments and the growing star power.

276
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 2: Of what he doesn't have is the the confidence of

277
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,559
Speaker 2: the casual buyer who wants guaranteed action. They don't always

278
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: get that from Mizzy, and I think that's one thing

279
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 2: that has held him back. Now though I'm not blaming him,

280
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: but like, yeah, Connor would be different having you know,

281
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: if this was John Jones Stipe at the top, I

282
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: think it could be a little bit different. But I mean,

283
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: you have you had the star power of Izzi and Max,

284
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 2: and the Max fight is you know, legendary with Volkanovski here,

285
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: uh this this, this is a huge card. I think

286
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 2: you're just missing what normally Nate Diaz or Jorge Mosbital

287
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: or whoever that special third Aeriel Hawanee people's main event

288
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 2: tag is on there. You don't have that. Strickland Padata

289
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: is like a hardcore fans version of that. And I

290
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: love the Lauren Murphy Mishatee fight like it's great. O'Malley

291
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: against a relive body, It's great. The sum of the part.

292
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: WHOA, that's that's unfair. Pedro Munoz is a top ranked band, someway, dude, I.

293
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: Know how freaking good he is, and I know how

294
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 2: great this fight is, but the whole you know, Carnival

295
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: ten covering it is we're finally seeing him against a

296
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,839
Speaker 2: live body. So what I said still matches up. My

297
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,079
Speaker 2: point is this is more some of the parts that

298
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: makes this card very good. It's missing that third giant

299
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 2: figure to make it great. And I think even put

300
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 2: it on the level of a Connor card or you know,

301
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: DC Jones two or whatever the big sexy thing is

302
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: that's getting you in the building.

303
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,760
Speaker 1: I'll say this two seventy four had a greater top

304
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: heavy throw, at least on paper. Obviously Rose versus Carla

305
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: sucked in the end, but at least on paper we

306
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: had three top fights. This one doesn't quite have that.

307
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: But I'll say this card is just much deep, dude.

308
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: You FC two seventy four after the main card, and

309
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: even then through the main card it fell off pretty

310
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: quickly after the top three fights. If you're just looking

311
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: at the quality of it, this one has much deeper quality. Also,

312
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 1: what I would say is there needs to be some

313
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: recognition that Izzy's popularity has grown dramatically. I think you're

314
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 1: right that he hasn't quite fully penetrated the consciousness of

315
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: the deepest recesses of the casual fan base. He hasn't

316
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: pulled that part yet. Like obviously, you know, reaching that

317
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 1: takes a Connor level in there. There's a pretty considerable

318
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 1: gap in popularity between him and Connor. But what I

319
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: would say is in terms of where he was even

320
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: a year or two ago, his popularity has exploded relative

321
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 1: to that. And you know, obviously the YouTube channel, his

322
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 1: self promotion, everything else is a big component. Winning the fights.

323
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: Being undefeated at middleways another component. I'm just sort of

324
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: pointing out there needs to be some recognition that whatever

325
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 1: people are saying that he lacks relative to Connor, okay, fair,

326
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: but whatever he's lacking, he has improved dramatic from a

327
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: recent time frame ago. Debsolutely also also Kennon ear is

328
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 1: a very good fighter, but there's not a lot of

329
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: like you know, heat between them per se.

330
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but this card, as you mentioned, like some deep,

331
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 2: interesting storyline matchups even in the less relevant fights. So overall,

332
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 2: very good lot of depth. I love it, Luke. I

333
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: like the idea of looking back what you did when

334
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 2: you went through the recent International Fight Week main events

335
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 2: and sort of looking at you know, how does this

336
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 2: one rank to the best we've seen? But what really

337
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 2: is the best we've seen? I think one thing you

338
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: have to consider when doing this, and it was like

339
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 2: a story I seem to end up writing every year

340
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: for a row in a row there after joining CBS

341
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 2: Sports is there was like that eight year stretch where

342
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: either the main event or a prominent co main event

343
00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 2: member was canceled like a week or two weeks before.

344
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 2: It was almost like a cursed card. Of course, you

345
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 2: UFC two hundred fell victim to that in a giant

346
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 2: way as well. But when you look back, you know

347
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 2: we did have Connor in at least one of these, right,

348
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 2: the Mendez one from one to eighty nine? Which God

349
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 2: did did Ireland travel for that one? Which one do

350
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: you think stands out as like that's the one? We

351
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 2: do this a lot with the MSG cards because there's

352
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 2: been four or five of them, and you know three

353
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 2: of them have been like through the roof top ten

354
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: all time? Great, what do you look at here?

355
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? So to answer that question for the MSG cards,

356
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: two oh five would have to be the standout, right,

357
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 1: like that would have to be its greatest or.

358
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: Two seventeen I think they're they're dead. Even look they're deady.

359
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: Yeah too, Okay, yeah, one A, one B, pick your

360
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: one A, one E to B. But they're they're I mean,

361
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: that's what we're talking about.

362
00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: For the.

363
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Obviously the biggest at the time felt like UFC two hundred,

364
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: but I don't know that it played out in in

365
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: that way. So I'm gonna say, oh, that's a great question. BC.

366
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna say the one that felt the biggest

367
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: in the time in which it took place again, UFC

368
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: two hundred, because it didn't quite go the way it

369
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 1: was supposed to. I'm gonna say one to eighty nine

370
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: McGregor Mendez because that was supposed to be the first

371
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: McGregor aldo right off that or, I think that's right.

372
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: And they had to delay it. We had to delay

373
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: it and then and then Mendes took it on short

374
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: notice and gave it to McGregor pretty pretty pretty well

375
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: early until McGregor stayed at unbelievable not unbelievable, but pretty

376
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: pretty important atomatic come back. Yeah, you got to come back.

377
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 1: So then you had also Lawler MacDonald maybe one of

378
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: the greatest MMA fights ever. Quite candidly uh, Stevens Bermudez,

379
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 1: which is which is a fine fight, Nelson Thatch and

380
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: then I'll made a picket. Wow, that's a fucking lifetime ago. Okay,

381
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: but still, dude, McGregor, Mendez Laller McDonald on the same

382
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: fucking card. That was crazy. Yeah, that was crazy.

383
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: No, No, that was that was freaking massive. And I

384
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 2: think what you meant to say was, you know, also

385
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: the best fight in Robbie Lawler's extensively great action fighting career, Luke,

386
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 2: the McDonald fight. I mean, that's the one, you know

387
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like, you know, you can't take two

388
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 2: girls to the dance, Luke, Okay, you gotta take one, Cep.

389
00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: I disagree with people on this. I actually feel like

390
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: Lawler's best action fight is the Condit fight.

391
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,760
Speaker 2: Look, do you not realize I'm doing a bit and

392
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: playing into the fact that you believe that and that

393
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 2: you're wrong. It's a great fight. But we've already been

394
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: through this, We've already litigated this discussion, Luke, you lose, Okay.

395
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: I don't think I do. I think the Condit fight

396
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: really stands at test of time. Par took you that

397
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: fifth round. But I will say that Lawler McDonald is

398
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: an incredible, incredible action.

399
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: I mean this, that's among the most You mixed the

400
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: brutality with the stakes. Dude, that's the fight, man, that

401
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 2: it's amazing.

402
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: Dude, I'm not You will never hear me say a

403
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: bad word about Laller McDonald. It's everything everyone says it is.

404
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: But I also just feel like people are underrating Lawler. Condit.

405
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 1: That's all.

406
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 2: Two hundred got hurt, of course by losing the John

407
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,120
Speaker 2: Jones Cormier match right this Obviously there was enough star

408
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,679
Speaker 2: power to keep it together. But do you think because

409
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 2: of who Amanda Nunas became really really with this fight,

410
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 2: stopping submitting Misha Tate there to win the championship and

411
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: that was the beginning of her great reign, that this

412
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 2: will age in some weird fine wine retro active way,

413
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 2: because when it happened, you were like, oh, this is

414
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: the main event, Like okay, you know what I mean?

415
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 2: And that now, God, that kicked off the Amanda Nuna's run,

416
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: and obviously you still had Lesnar winning. God look at

417
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: this card, Luke. Yeah, although Edgar, you had the last

418
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:41,919
Speaker 2: vintage Kane Velasquez.

419
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: Performance, remember Brown with a spinning wheel kick, I believe.

420
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 2: I remember where's the star power of d C Anderson Silva,

421
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,639
Speaker 2: which you know didn't overachieve or even live up to

422
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: what we thought, but still was endearing in its own way.

423
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,720
Speaker 2: Will this age better because of Amanda Nunis.

424
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: Or you don't care?

425
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably don't care.

426
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean the problem with that was like

427
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 1: the Nuna's tape, I wasn't all that competitive. I mean,

428
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: Nuna has just kind of brutalized her pretty quickly, right,

429
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: so for that, and then Aldo Edgar Aldo Edgar wasn't competitive,

430
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: but it went the full distance, like Aldo beat him

431
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: up basically for twenty five minutes. So for me, like

432
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: for example, like you're asking, like, well, you didn't ask

433
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: this question, but I would just put it in this way,

434
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: like relative to UFC one hundred, what was more exciting

435
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: DDE UFC one hundred was historic, not merely in its

436
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: construction but in its execution, with Dan Henderson sleeping Michael

437
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 1: bisping the way that he did, and George Saint Pierre

438
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 1: beating Thiago Alvez and then brock Leser just smashing Frank.

439
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean, this was not only you know, important results

440
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: and big fun fights, but like crazy dominant finishes or

441
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, in the case of Aldo and or excuse me,

442
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: the case of Saint Pierre and Alvis was competitive for

443
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,719
Speaker 1: a time, but you know, he had to really overcome

444
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:48,959
Speaker 1: a very difficult opponent. There was just a lot more

445
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: action that was I think fun. That one was just

446
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: kind of I mean, there's nothing wrong with the NEWNAS

447
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: tape fight, but it didn't it wasn't electrifying for whatever reason,

448
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,719
Speaker 1: when the other when the other ones were. I think

449
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,280
Speaker 1: that's the difference. Corny Amiochis two twenty six is also

450
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: pretty good because had Lewis and gone, well.

451
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 2: That was I interrupt you and say this that as

452
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: you and I have the benefit of looking up and

453
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 2: down the list at all the main pay per view

454
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: cards that have happened on International Fight Week dating back

455
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 2: to UFC one forty eight. Dude, we missed it that

456
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: UFC two point fifty one card from just recently. Dude,

457
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,640
Speaker 2: hear this for five fights on a pay per view

458
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: main card, that's pretty good for July fourth weekend. Usman

459
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 2: Masvidal is your main event. Volkanowski Holloway to jan Aldo

460
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,200
Speaker 2: for the vacant title. Now I'm a Unis Andrage part

461
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 2: two and Amanda hebas against Page Van's aunt like, oh shit,

462
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 2: I mean that was that was a prime pandemic. Duke Luke,

463
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 2: but that's I called you, Duke Wow, Duke Rufus but Luke,

464
00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 2: that's that's that's gotta be the best. Look at it

465
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 2: top to bottom.

466
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 1: Man, Yeah, that's really really good. I can't believe UFC

467
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: one for eight with Silver soon into Griffin or Tease Jesus,

468
00:21:54,800 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 1: I cannot believe that. And THENKT and Mia Kim that's crazy. Yeah,

469
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: you're right, that probably, But the thing is Oosman versus

470
00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: Maslol one is we know played out in paper kind

471
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 1: of and Volkanowski Holloway two was a phenomenal fight, but

472
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: it did leave a sour taste and a lot of fans'

473
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: mouths if they especially they were Holloway fans, and.

474
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 2: We had to watch Josie all to get Rabbit punched

475
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 2: like fifty times.

476
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: Right, Well, Johan was still the better guy that night,

477
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: but yes, it was also the bad stop. I remember

478
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 1: Leon Roberts was the referee in that one, who's usually

479
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: quite good, and I think he didn't like his performance

480
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: and he left because he didn't want a referee anymore

481
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: fight so he can give. Yeah, he did it of

482
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: his own volition. Like if he's like, I'm not in

483
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: my game, I'm not going to do it, which I

484
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: really respect. But in any case, you're right. But this

485
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: one's a good one, man, It's a really good one.

486
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: The Lawler Barberina fight is like surprisingly competitive, you know

487
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: what I mean. I didn't think Barbarina was gonna beat

488
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 1: Matt Brown. If you could beat Matt Brown beating Robbi

489
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,479
Speaker 1: Lawlers on the table there as well. And by the way,

490
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: I remember, we thought he was going to be retired.

491
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,040
Speaker 1: I guess he got a new fight deal.

492
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,919
Speaker 2: So dude, this is a great fight in UFC's unofficial

493
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 2: BKFC BMF division of of just guys between one fifty

494
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 2: five and one seventy who only know one speed. Let's

495
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 2: just keep matching them against each other. And there's no

496
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,920
Speaker 2: shame in that. I love it. It fills out a

497
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 2: main card.

498
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: Look, also, Driggis Duplessi getting Brad Tavaris tells you that

499
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 1: their spot like Dricis has captured the UFC matchmaker's attention

500
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: as a contender, like they're actually trying to push him

501
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: as a contender now, which is a very tough fight.

502
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: I versus Barbera is great for Macy Barbera if you

503
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: can get the win. Obviously it's great either way, but

504
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: you know Macy barber in particular, Moone's versus Hall is

505
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,359
Speaker 1: a very very tricky fight. Muenes is the guy who

506
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,119
Speaker 1: broke Jackaray's arm and others as well, So he's really good.

507
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,120
Speaker 1: As I mentioned, Sean O'Malley taking on a top ranked

508
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: guy to open the main card, me Shatata's back, Strickland Perreira.

509
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: There's a lot to like, man, there's a lot to like.

510
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,879
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to topic number two here. So

511
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: this has apparently been reportedly targeted for July thirtieth, which

512
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: would be the card after that, at least the the

513
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,160
Speaker 1: pay per view card I believe UFC two seventy seven.

514
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 1: There are reports of a potential interim title for the

515
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: flyweight belt being on the line between former champion Brandon

516
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: Moreno and now top contender kai Kara France. Now, this

517
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 1: would of course be an indication that the plans to

518
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: do the fourth fight between Moreno and the current champion,

519
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: Devison Figuredo are on hold, and perhaps Figuredo is not

520
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: eligible anytime soon, so they potentially are looking at this BC.

521
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: Do you like the idea? I think less so of

522
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 1: the fight. The fight itself is tremendous, but the interim

523
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,680
Speaker 1: title being there where? What is your view of that?

524
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is like a blatant abuse of power. You

525
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: won't complain about it too much because the UFC, it's

526
00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: a new trend. They tend to do this a lot.

527
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: And the trend I'm talking about is, yes, the champion

528
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 2: Figuredo is reportedly injured. We don't know a lot of

529
00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 2: details on that, but he's not ready. Is at least

530
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: the point here, I mean the UFC's new model and

531
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: game plan is anytime a champion isn't ready, then the

532
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 2: next fight has to be for an interim time. It's stupid. Yes,

533
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 2: it helps them sell it better, but the fans really

534
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 2: already know this is a great number one contenders fight,

535
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 2: like in Elite, you know, super Bowl number one contenders fight.

536
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 2: It's great that should be an on its own. So

537
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 2: the fact that we give somebody the chance to be

538
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 2: an interim champion here when there's just no call for it,

539
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 2: you know, unless you're telling me that Figurato's gonna be

540
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 2: out at least one full year. There's just not a

541
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 2: call for it in this situation. So I don't think

542
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,920
Speaker 2: that is a scarlet letter on it. You know. It's yeah,

543
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 2: it smells bad, but still gonna be a great fight,

544
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,639
Speaker 2: still gonna lead to what we want to. But it

545
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,880
Speaker 2: just shows you more and more that even though there

546
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 2: are times that I argue for an interim title just

547
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: to spice something up, but only when it when it's worthy,

548
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,159
Speaker 2: Like in this situation with you know, Jones and Steepe,

549
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: we don't know if a Gano was ever walking through

550
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 2: that door again. Plus he's gonna be out a while,

551
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 2: that makes sense. This doesn't make sense, but yeah, I

552
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 2: mean what you can do about it? I mean, like

553
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 2: nobody cares in the end, so it's not a battle

554
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:47,880
Speaker 2: worth getting into in the end, right, I mean that's

555
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:48,679
Speaker 2: the thing, right.

556
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's not like we're gonna And also

557
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: they're not making a terrible fight. They're making a phenomenal fight.

558
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 1: They're making a great fight. And I would argue if

559
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: it's a case where Brandon Mareno wants to stay busy

560
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 1: and he Figuredo isn't going to be ready, this would

561
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 1: be the next logical fight you would make. Quite candidly,

562
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,239
Speaker 1: there's nothing wrong. I mean just the's a couple other

563
00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 1: ones you could make, but this would certainly be on

564
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 1: the list of like, okay, what are suitable fights, given

565
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: that morin versus FIGUREDA four is not presently available, this

566
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: would be first, second, or at worst third on the list.

567
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:20,320
Speaker 1: So there's nothing wrong with that. But like the according

568
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 1: to the reports, Figaredo has an injured finger, which is

569
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: a delicate thing that you have to get right so

570
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: you don't have permanent injury. But it's not a it's

571
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: not like a hamstring injury where the timeline puts you back.

572
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: In fact, the reports indicate from Ariel Jijuani that he

573
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 1: would be back at the end of this year. Like

574
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: you would only make an interim title fight if the

575
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: if you have a situation where you know the champ

576
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 1: is going to be out for a while, or you

577
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: know you just don't know, like there's just a great

578
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: degree of uncertainty about any potential return, like you just

579
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: really don't even have a timeline. That's when you would

580
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: introduce something like this. This is absurd, but I guess

581
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: they have to find a way to put another belt

582
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: up or they need a cent a belt on the

583
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:02,919
Speaker 1: poster or whatever.

584
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 2: It's the new norm. And I think it was ushered

585
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: in with the ridiculous decision to make Gon versus Lewis

586
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 2: and the heavyweights an interim title. About winning Ghana was healthy.

587
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,760
Speaker 2: He just said, I can't fight on this date. I

588
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,080
Speaker 2: need a couple months later, and it was like, you know,

589
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 2: still within five months or six months of him winning

590
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: the title. So it was just ridiculous. But that again,

591
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: that's the new norm. But I think you know, the

592
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: main problem, there's two of them, in my opinion. One

593
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: completely devalues the interim title when you do this on

594
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 2: a regular basis, and you know, some people it has

595
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: no value. But you know the extension of that is

596
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 2: I hate when somebody who was of title contention in

597
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,640
Speaker 2: their career but they couldn't get over the hump gets

598
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 2: to retire and you say former UFC interim champion, but like, yeah,

599
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: they didn't. I guess you know.

600
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:52,920
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this the one thing that the one

601
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: positive aspect from this, well again, I'm gonna say one

602
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,960
Speaker 1: more time to fight itself is phenomenal. Okay, there's that.

603
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 1: I'll also say this fight, the winner won't get pay

604
00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 1: per viewpoints, but the winner of this fight going into

605
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,520
Speaker 1: the unification, so to speak, BC will so there will

606
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,479
Speaker 1: at least be one fight for one fighter where they

607
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 1: will be entitled to pay per viewpoints, which way they

608
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: would not get but for the bestowing of this interim title.

609
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 1: I'm not arguing that that's a reason to do these

610
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: in the future. I'm merely pointing out, and I'm being explicit,

611
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: they should not give out the interim title. But to

612
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 1: the extent there are they are, and there are silver

613
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: linings available that would be one of them. Well, I

614
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: think I think that's pretty fair.

615
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 2: Silver linings playbook, Luke and light it on fire. I

616
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: get your point, But all you have to do is

617
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 2: change the rules and pay number one contender.

618
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 1: I know, I agree. I mean this is not the

619
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: answer to fight or pay. I'm simply saying, if you

620
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: want to find a silver lining, there's one there. As

621
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: for the fight itself, BC, I'm gonna guess you favor Moreno,

622
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 1: But kay, car France has proven to be stubbornly good

623
00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 1: and wildly improved. What kind of chance do you think

624
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: he has against Marino?

625
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,160
Speaker 2: I think a huge chance and and he you know,

626
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 2: he's won the last two fights. KK France has completely completely.

627
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: Won me over.

628
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 2: And you had some question if the guard brant One

629
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 2: was you know, a little fool's gold or whatever, but

630
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: you know, he shut that down with his next performance,

631
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 2: even in a close fight. But but he's coming on Luke,

632
00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 2: and the thing is, I don't I never thought Moreno

633
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 2: was a He's a killer, but I never thought he

634
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 2: was somebody who was on his way to, you know,

635
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 2: becoming the owner of an era like Demetrius Johnson did, right,

636
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,800
Speaker 2: And that's just because his style, although he has added

637
00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 2: submissions and his strikings, you know, fantastic. He could really

638
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 2: do it all. That's what makes him so fun. But

639
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: you know he's gonna get into some crazy fights against

640
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 2: some very good people. So I think he's vulnerable in

641
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: that regard because of the style of fights and his

642
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 2: you know, mental attitude coming in where dude, No, I'm

643
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 2: giving Kai Carr Franz a you know, is a fifty

644
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 2: to fifty exactly. Maybe not because Moreno's a little bit

645
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,640
Speaker 2: more battle tested on the higher level. But you know,

646
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 2: if you're Kay Caller France, you have to love what

647
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: you can potentially do in this fight, especially if you

648
00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,440
Speaker 2: can make Moreno fight on your terms in terms of

649
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: the distance and the striking, this is going to be

650
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 2: a fun one to watch.

651
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will say this, I think there's a lot

652
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 1: more parody at flyweight than the fan base wants to admit.

653
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: I think that they want to see one guy as

654
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,920
Speaker 1: like the Domino oh oh, Moreno has achieved that status

655
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: that Anderson Silva had over middleweight for many years, or

656
00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, name your guy, whoever it may be, And

657
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: I just don't think the reality matches up with that.

658
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: These guys, on certain nights, with the right game plan

659
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 1: and the right effort, are just a little bit better

660
00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: than the other one, But I don't know if they

661
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: are sustainably better than the other one every single time

662
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: they go out there. I actually tend to think they're

663
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 1: all within shooting distance of one another. I probably would

664
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: say Moreno's got a few more ways to win than

665
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: kay car France, Like if it becomes a grappling battle,

666
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 1: I think kay car France is better than Moreno on

667
00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: the feet. But I don't think Marino was totally out

668
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 1: of that one by any stretch of the imagination, and

669
00:31:00,480 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: on the ground, I think that Moreno has a substantial advantage,

670
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: so overall he might even still have a greater net

671
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: advantage when you add it all up. And so for

672
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 1: those reasons, it's really just what kind of fight we

673
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,360
Speaker 1: end up getting, what kind of effort goes into, what

674
00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: kind of game plan, and how well it was executed.

675
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: So to me, I'd favor Moreno, but Ky car Franz

676
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:18,680
Speaker 1: is as live a dog in that fight as they come.

677
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: Love love love that contest.

678
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 2: The best way to put the exclamation point on the

679
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: point you just made is that everyone right now within

680
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 2: the top five of flyway, without me even looking at it,

681
00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 2: I can tell you that they could end up being

682
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 2: champion within the next eighteen months. I mean, when you

683
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: have that and when it's that close, buckle up. It's

684
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: going to be a fun ride, you know.

685
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 1: Now, If before we move on from UFC two sixty

686
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 1: six and two sixty seven, I do see a note

687
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: here from our producer that I would like to visit.

688
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call a bit of an audible here if

689
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:45,880
Speaker 1: I maybe see, because I think it's worth bringing up.

690
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,480
Speaker 1: I get a little bit tired of Nate Diaz complaining

691
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: on Twitter about not getting fights, but the reality is

692
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: he actually has a pretty reasonable complaint. He is looking

693
00:31:57,520 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 1: to fight at whatever card he can, but he is somewhat,

694
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: actually not somewhat, he is heavily at the mercy of

695
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: what fights he has offered. For folks who don't understand

696
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: how this works, Yes, the management team and the fighter

697
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 1: can consult with the UFC, but what kind of fights

698
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 1: they want? But it typically does not go that way.

699
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: The way it typically goes is that they offer you

700
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: who they want you to fight, and you do not

701
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: have to take it. You can say no, but there

702
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: could be problems with saying no. A It could make

703
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 1: a relationship with the matchmakers poor, and certain clauses could

704
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 1: be triggered to extend the contract time by virtue of

705
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,239
Speaker 1: doing that. There's a lot of ways in which they

706
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: don't want that to happen. And so BC I got

707
00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: to tell you they're rolling out the July cards already

708
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: and we haven't seen the full card for two seventy seven.

709
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: But dude, Nate Diaz is not being shy about the

710
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:45,239
Speaker 1: fact that he is dying to compete. There is an

711
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: endless list of guys who are wanting to fight him, who,

712
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: by the way, are not scrubs or people people that

713
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: fans don't care about Gilbert Burns, Dustin Poarier. They already

714
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,240
Speaker 1: even once tried to make the Nate Diaz versus Dustin

715
00:32:57,280 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: Poarier fight. Dude, is it not really a bit of

716
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: a weird sign? And frankly, it doesn't paint a great

717
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: picture that you have seen this case that Nate Diaz

718
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 1: is not on the two seventy six or two seventy

719
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: seven fight cards as we know it right now.

720
00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, it's it's a monster disrespect middle finger, even

721
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 2: if we don't know exactly what the real conversations are

722
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: and how, you know, obviously we have to realize naturally

723
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna be it's hard to negotiate with the Das.

724
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean that we have to understand that in terms

725
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,400
Speaker 2: of the basics and foundation of the relationship between Dana

726
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,840
Speaker 2: and the Daz brothers. But even with that, it's just

727
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 2: it's just a constant misuse of a potentially huge and

728
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 2: great pay per view brand, you know. And I'm yes,

729
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 2: I'm looking back at when Nate sat out three full

730
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: years after being in back to back record breaking pay

731
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 2: per views against McGregor, and yes, I'm talking about now

732
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 2: when it makes such little sense. That's why I can

733
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,800
Speaker 2: come on this microphone and be like, is this Jake

734
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: Paul related. They don't want them to be a free agent,

735
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 2: so they're kind of gonna cash them out against Hamza.

736
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 2: I mean, Dana gave interviews again this week. I don't

737
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:56,600
Speaker 2: know if you saw him, Luke, where he's like, yeah,

738
00:33:56,880 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: I really want the Hamsa Nate fight. I really like that.

739
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 2: Soh you know, it seems to be they're just finding

740
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 2: they're just trying to find the right landing for that

741
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: so they can say goodbye to Nate and have them look,

742
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,440
Speaker 2: you know, as bad as possible in the way out

743
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 2: while giving the shine to the guy that they're really

744
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:13,759
Speaker 2: focused on. And that makes a lot of sense, you

745
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 2: understand that, But it's not fair because Nate just lost

746
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: another prime you know, full year of his outside the

747
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,960
Speaker 2: octagon potential there, and you know, when you don't have

748
00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: the kind of leverage that we're saying the fighters should

749
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: and should be fighting for, but most of them aren't. Again,

750
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 2: what else can you say.

751
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:32,879
Speaker 1: Though, Luke, I just want to point out one thing,

752
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,720
Speaker 1: like this is why fighters deserve to have more control

753
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: over their career. It should be a more collaborative process.

754
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: The idea that the promoter can be single handedly the

755
00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: person or i should say, the entity where they get

756
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: to decide what fights happen, and all you get is

757
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,399
Speaker 1: a yes or no vote. You don't get a vote

758
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,400
Speaker 1: to even frame some of the decision making around how

759
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 1: these fights are offered to begin with. Is madness, right,

760
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 1: it's their brain cells, it's their life, it's their career.

761
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 1: It's only their win or it's only their loss. They

762
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: should have much more say in this process. And the

763
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: fact that Nate Diaz is at the mercy of essentially

764
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 1: what could be a spiteful promoter trying to minimize his

765
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: value to potential suitors after his career has completed with them,

766
00:35:17,239 --> 00:35:20,280
Speaker 1: or his contract rather is completed with them, is insane

767
00:35:20,360 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: to me. And we take it as normal. We take

768
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: it as like this is just how things are in

769
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,120
Speaker 1: the fight game. Yeah, this is how things are in

770
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,279
Speaker 1: the fight game. Because the fight game is fucked. It

771
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 1: should not be this way. This is really a terrible

772
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: way for business to be done, and the people who

773
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: suffer the most to somewhat you could say the consumer Worle,

774
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: That's not really true. It's the fighter themselves, the people

775
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 1: sacrificing the most to get to try and get something.

776
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 1: I find this totally a real symptom of how uneven

777
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:46,719
Speaker 1: this industry is.

778
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess I'm just desensitized now, you know, like

779
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: growing up.

780
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: We all are, we all are.

781
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 2: Too early in my lifetime. But I mean, dude, this

782
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:57,920
Speaker 2: is the same sport where GSP has fought once in

783
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: the last nine years, and it has been like actively

784
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,800
Speaker 2: retired for for a long stretch. Can't take a boxing

785
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 2: match of his choice to make some spare money on

786
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,000
Speaker 2: the side, you know, he's got to wait out some

787
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,160
Speaker 2: you know, Like it's just it's ridiculous. I mean, I

788
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,279
Speaker 2: you know, who am I Luke? I wear you know

789
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 2: I got I got myself on my own T shirt

790
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 2: right here with and you know, you know, my wife

791
00:36:19,600 --> 00:36:22,279
Speaker 2: saw me wore this, and she's like, you know, it's

792
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 2: cool and all, but you keep you guys, keep producing

793
00:36:25,920 --> 00:36:28,360
Speaker 2: shirts like that. I'm not gonna not believe that you

794
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: and Luke aren't romantically evolved, you know what I mean, Luke,

795
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 2: she said it are we?

796
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 1: I mean we are involved, just not romantically.

797
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't. I don't know how, you know, I

798
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:37,719
Speaker 2: don't know what she what?

799
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 1: You know?

800
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: What are people thinking right here?

801
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,840
Speaker 1: You know this is a we have all the romance

802
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: of an arranged marriage. That's really what we have. Yes,

803
00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 1: all right? Topic number three BC. I mean this was

804
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:55,200
Speaker 1: I think first reported by ESPN des Portes Brian or

805
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,719
Speaker 1: Tega taking on yah here. This is the hardest work

806
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 1: for me say in Spanish, dude, Didrigaez the way they

807
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 1: say it Rodriguez is how we would say it expected

808
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: to be the main event for the July sixteenth card,

809
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,319
Speaker 1: and of course this will be a year second fight

810
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen, the last one being on the what

811
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: it was November of twenty twenty one against Max Holloway. BC.

812
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 1: Size this up for me your level of excitement for

813
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:25,160
Speaker 1: Ortega versus ya ear? And how important is this fight

814
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: for either of them?

815
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: Luke? I think it was the Kings of Leon who

816
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,600
Speaker 2: said it best when they said, hey, this sex is

817
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 2: on fire. I mean, this is the good Lord forget

818
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 2: you know, the the top you know five stakes in

819
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 2: terms of potential title contention for either man. Dude, this

820
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: is a circle the calendar type of fight, in my opinion,

821
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 2: hell hell yeah, And Luke, you know, given the amount

822
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 2: of times both I mean less so with Yair, but

823
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: but really more with Otega has gotten to this high

824
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: level and taken his big wing and come up empty.

825
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: But you know, you go, man, I respect the hustle

826
00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 2: or the chin or the toughness or the you know,

827
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 2: intention and all that. You know, how many more of

828
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 2: these runs does he have? And I think even though

829
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: ya here hasn't had as many get to the top

830
00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 2: moments where he struck out. Yeah, he lost a max,

831
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:20,239
Speaker 2: but he fought his ass off, you know, and something

832
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: that only raised his stock. There's a lot at steak

833
00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: here in this fight. I mean, but you know I

834
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 2: can separate that enough to just tell you, you know, yeah,

835
00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 2: you know hanover Ohio.

836
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 3: You know.

837
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:33,839
Speaker 2: Can you see the heart on that I've got from

838
00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 2: here to you right now? You know what I mean?

839
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:35,359
Speaker 1: Luke?

840
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 2: I mean, are you kidding me?

841
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: Bro dude? I mean this, if you if you can't

842
00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,040
Speaker 1: like this fight, you should not be a fight fan.

843
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I just don't even know what else to

844
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:44,880
Speaker 1: say beyond this is.

845
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: The you're a communist and you eat steak, well done

846
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 2: with ketchup. If you don't like this fight.

847
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: I mean that's probably fair. Like you probably think shuies

848
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 1: are cool. Your name is not Tai tue of Asa,

849
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: who can get away with it?

850
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

851
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:00,960
Speaker 1: This is I mean they say styles may fights, and

852
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: sometimes they mean that as a warning. I mean that

853
00:39:02,800 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: as a compliment. It would be impossible for this fight

854
00:39:06,520 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: to not be good. Now. I don't know if it

855
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,800
Speaker 1: will be the very best version of itself that it

856
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: could be, but the very worst version of what it

857
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:16,399
Speaker 1: could be is still going to be much higher than

858
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: the average fights potential downside, and I don't even see

859
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,480
Speaker 1: one here. Brian Ortega takes advantage of guys just like

860
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:29,399
Speaker 1: Yaya Rodriguez. Yet conversely, Rodriguez is new found I think

861
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:33,520
Speaker 1: well roundedness, composure when he needs it, but also creativity

862
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,839
Speaker 1: could be a massive problem, especially a distance in early

863
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: in a fight or even late in a fight when

864
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 1: or take it takes a lot of damage, which is

865
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,640
Speaker 1: still a consistent problem for him. For a guy who

866
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 1: takes a lot of damage already to go up against

867
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: the guy as creative and as rangy but as explosive

868
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 1: but as you know, unique as Yayer is a horrible

869
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: matchup for him. These guys are terrible matchups for each other,

870
00:39:54,840 --> 00:39:58,400
Speaker 1: which means this fight is going to be fucking banance.

871
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 1: Whenever you have a fight like I remember before the

872
00:40:02,040 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: first Hendo Showgun and where they were in that fight.

873
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: I remember I was thinking to myself, I don't know

874
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 1: exactly how this one's gonna play out because Henderson's right

875
00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:10,719
Speaker 1: hand is gonna be a huge problem for Showgun. But

876
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,920
Speaker 1: Showgun is sort of overall multi brutality. If Henderson phased

877
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,160
Speaker 1: a little bit is gonna be a problem too. And

878
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: the reality was you saw both of those things come

879
00:40:19,239 --> 00:40:21,440
Speaker 1: to life. Hendo was dealing in the first three Showgun

880
00:40:21,560 --> 00:40:24,320
Speaker 1: dealt in the last two after having to make a comeback.

881
00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,439
Speaker 1: I don't know which way this one's gonna go BC,

882
00:40:26,960 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 1: but I've got Hendo Showgun one vibes all over this one.

883
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,359
Speaker 1: That wow, that credible fight.

884
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,440
Speaker 2: That's a bold statement that you just laid out, but

885
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:38,879
Speaker 2: you know it may end up being warranted. And Luke,

886
00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,799
Speaker 2: I've got you know, I mean, I'm a big Brian

887
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 2: Ortega fan. People know that about me, Luke, and I'm

888
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 2: okay with that, okay, because you know, we I think

889
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 2: him and I we we have you know, different but

890
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: similar levels of bde going on. But the real analysis

891
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 2: is this, Luke.

892
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 1: You and Brian Ortega have Yes, you and a very

893
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 1: handsome athlete, a pro athlete. You two are peers.

894
00:40:58,719 --> 00:41:00,800
Speaker 2: It's the same funk, Luke, It's mels the same. You

895
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 2: can just tell you know, you can look in a

896
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,759
Speaker 2: man's eyes. Here's the point, though, I'm nervous because when

897
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:08,800
Speaker 2: he gets to that highest level, he turns into blood

898
00:41:08,840 --> 00:41:11,359
Speaker 2: and guts warrior. I mean, he turns into Rocky Balboa, Luke,

899
00:41:11,400 --> 00:41:15,680
Speaker 2: and he takes on incredible damage and doesn't necessarily lean

900
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,239
Speaker 2: on the craft that's there, the same craft that you

901
00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,760
Speaker 2: know made him look like a million dollars against Korean

902
00:41:20,880 --> 00:41:24,400
Speaker 2: Zombie when he came back after a two year break. Yeah. Here,

903
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:29,360
Speaker 2: Rodriguez is too dangerous right now and too dialed in.

904
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,960
Speaker 2: I mean the again, the performance against Max Holloway and

905
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 2: defeat was was next level for him. You were like, Oh,

906
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:36,959
Speaker 2: I didn't know he could. I didn't know he looked

907
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 2: at it that way, you know what I mean. I

908
00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 2: didn't know he was he was, he had leveled up,

909
00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 2: He's there, he's ready. It could be a bad night

910
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 2: at the office for Tega. If he's like you know

911
00:41:45,600 --> 00:41:48,040
Speaker 2: if he gets lured back into another blood and guts thing, Luke,

912
00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 2: he's got to come here with a comp He's got

913
00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:52,839
Speaker 2: to change his game. There's something has to change, Luke.

914
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:54,000
Speaker 2: Tell me I'm crazy.

915
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:55,919
Speaker 1: I don't think you're crazy at all. And I think

916
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:58,520
Speaker 1: that Ortega's wrestling is going to be pretty key here

917
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:02,600
Speaker 1: because he should not. Like Yes, if someone backs you

918
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,839
Speaker 1: up and throws something and over commits, be a great

919
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: time to, you know, get a guillotine clamp or find

920
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: the back, of course. But I wouldn't wait around on

921
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 1: Yah Rodriguez. If I was Ortega's team, this would not

922
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: You would want to be prepared for a scenario like that, certainly,

923
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: but you would not want to be reliant upon him

924
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 1: delivering those to you and then waiting on them. You're

925
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: gonna to take that fight by the back of the

926
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: scruff of the neck and make it yours and then

927
00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,080
Speaker 1: if those other situations reveal themselves, be ready for them.

928
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:30,879
Speaker 1: But to me, this is going to be a real

929
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: test of Ortega's game planning and execution everything else, and

930
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,200
Speaker 1: I think he's up to it. I thought he did

931
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: it in the Korean zombie fight, although in a different direction.

932
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: But you know, listen, you give Yah Rodriguez room to work,

933
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 1: and you are going to have a very bad day. Conversely,

934
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:46,759
Speaker 1: if Rodriguez is not minding his p's and q's, Brian

935
00:42:46,880 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 1: Ortega is gonna snatch his throat with a quickness.

936
00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,600
Speaker 2: I love this fight absolutely, But but but for Tega,

937
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 2: I think it's head movement, Luke, because you know, yes,

938
00:42:57,080 --> 00:43:01,879
Speaker 2: Alexander Volkanowski is a whole different level wizard, and he's

939
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 2: adding you know, intention to his offensive aggression, and he's

940
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 2: going after people. So you know, Volcanosi's gonna find that

941
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 2: that strikes one against anyone. But Ortega was just there

942
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:15,439
Speaker 2: to be hit routinely again and again and again. Look,

943
00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:17,800
Speaker 2: I don't want this to be or take as blind

944
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,880
Speaker 2: spot similar to somebody like Gai Chee with with you know,

945
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 2: jiu jitsu and and and the lack of game there

946
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:25,839
Speaker 2: where the fight can just end like that. I mean,

947
00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,919
Speaker 2: I think Ortega's too good for that. But there's something

948
00:43:29,200 --> 00:43:31,640
Speaker 2: that's always been so loose about him, you know what

949
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 2: I mean, Like that's certain.

950
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,400
Speaker 1: The thing is, the thing is Ortega has such reactive

951
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 1: jiu jitsu. I'll throw up a triangle once you take

952
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: me down, I'll look for a guillotine only if you

953
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,440
Speaker 1: do a head outside double or single or something like that.

954
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,760
Speaker 1: And what I'm saying is those are all valuable traits.

955
00:43:46,280 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 1: But but the problem is he doesn't to your point,

956
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 1: he takes too much damage before that happens. Now he's

957
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: gotten a lot of wins after the fact. Like again,

958
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 1: I go back to what too way, Conna was fucking

959
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 1: him up until he made a strategic care and then Brian,

960
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:00,640
Speaker 1: and then Brian will take it. He does what he does.

961
00:44:00,920 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying against Yeri Rodriguez, you cannot do that. You

962
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,279
Speaker 1: cannot wait around for him to do something like that.

963
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 1: So what I think is gonna be not just what

964
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:10,920
Speaker 1: like individual skills he uses the jab and whatnot. He's

965
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: gonna have to press or take it backwards, and I

966
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: have to I would have to imagine a wrestling heavy component,

967
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: or at least a wrestling you know, active component is

968
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: gonna have to be a big part of that, finding

969
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 1: his back, making him work from there as well, because

970
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: standing at range with that guy and waiting for him

971
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: to deliver a mistake, it will happen, but you're gonna

972
00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 1: eat a shitload of punishment along the way not not acceptable.

973
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: I just think there's it's not just like a lust

974
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 2: for action with Urtega. I just think there's something wiring

975
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 2: wise that's a little bit off, because you remember his rise,

976
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 2: even when he was getting win after win, there'd be

977
00:44:42,239 --> 00:44:44,560
Speaker 2: fights that were really competitive or that he was down

978
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 2: on yet he'd sort of miraculously in the third round,

979
00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,520
Speaker 2: you know, pull out a submission and you're like, damn,

980
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:53,359
Speaker 2: there's part of him Luke that almost like feels subconsciously

981
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: like he needs to go down on the scorecards before

982
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: he can produce, you know, that huge burst. And even

983
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: his losses tend to have these moments, even against Holloway

984
00:45:01,480 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 2: where he stood his ground on the feet and was

985
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:06,080
Speaker 2: landed bombs, where it's like he's in love with that

986
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: dramatic you know, comeback. But you don't need to always

987
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 2: take it there, you know what I mean, Like if

988
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 2: he brings in the offensive wrestling, as you're saying, this

989
00:45:13,560 --> 00:45:14,640
Speaker 2: could be different, we'll see.

990
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: I think that's right. The last thing I would say

991
00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: is if you look at the rankings, do I kind

992
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:19,919
Speaker 1: of like this fight for a lot of different reasons.

993
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: But here's the top five, right, So you've got Matt

994
00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: You've got obviously Volkanowski's your champ, Max's number one, then

995
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 1: you got Ortega two, Rodriguez three, Cater four, Chance Sung Jung. Five.

996
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:32,279
Speaker 1: We talked about how they have to go to number

997
00:45:32,360 --> 00:45:35,320
Speaker 1: five in the women's flyweight division to give Tyler Santos

998
00:45:35,360 --> 00:45:38,120
Speaker 1: a shot because Chevchenko has just burned through everyone. Now

999
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,280
Speaker 1: Max is ranked number one, but bc between Volkanowski and Max,

1000
00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: both of them have beaten Ortega, Max beat Rodriguez, Max

1001
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,600
Speaker 1: beat Calvin Cater and then Volkanowski destroyed Chance Sung Jung. Dude,

1002
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,640
Speaker 1: they've burned through the top five already, Like you're looking

1003
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:55,839
Speaker 1: at a six, seven, eight, nine, and ten. I would

1004
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: have to be fresh challenges, but those guys have to

1005
00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: beat somebody else up here. It's amazing at Max and

1006
00:46:01,239 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: Alexander have done in that featherweight division.

1007
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 2: Could be it could be an opportunistic time if you're

1008
00:46:05,880 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 2: somebody like Josh Emmett, who could be one really big

1009
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:10,319
Speaker 2: a win away from getting a title shot.

1010
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 1: True, very true, and he's got a big fight coming

1011
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,399
Speaker 1: up against Calvin Cator to that point, so that could

1012
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: be kind of interesting. All right, Topic number four, we

1013
00:46:17,880 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: moved now to the weekend MMA storylines. There is a

1014
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,520
Speaker 1: bell Toor event on Friday at a UFC event on

1015
00:46:22,600 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: Saturday ABC. We'll start with the bell tor event, which

1016
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 1: will be Friday live from London, England. MVP versus Storly BC.

1017
00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:31,880
Speaker 1: Here we go. We were thought we're gonna get a

1018
00:46:31,920 --> 00:46:34,319
Speaker 1: bit of a different fight, but there was a late

1019
00:46:34,440 --> 00:46:35,879
Speaker 1: change and this is sort of what we would ended

1020
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 1: up with. Latest change MVP taken on Logan Storly B.

1021
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:44,360
Speaker 1: See if there has been a consistent thread of criticism

1022
00:46:44,560 --> 00:46:47,600
Speaker 1: of MVP, it's that the critics say he's a can crusher.

1023
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 1: He hasn't fought enough tough guys. Now, I think that's

1024
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: somewhat overstated, but if you look at the history of

1025
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: his record, he does have a lot of wins over

1026
00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,719
Speaker 1: guys who were badly overmatched. Logan Storly, however, is not

1027
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 1: that guy fresh off the biggest win of his career

1028
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:03,800
Speaker 1: in a five round main event. We know about his

1029
00:47:03,880 --> 00:47:07,080
Speaker 1: wrestling pedigree, We saw about his game plan application in

1030
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:10,040
Speaker 1: his last fight, plus his jab, plus his striking comes

1031
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 1: from a great team. BC. You can say whatever you

1032
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 1: want about MVP's record up to this point, but there's

1033
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: no denying this is far and away, hey and logan

1034
00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:22,920
Speaker 1: story is it as they come at one hundred and

1035
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 1: seventy pounds.

1036
00:47:23,840 --> 00:47:26,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is a like sneaky, very good fight like

1037
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:31,000
Speaker 2: this is it's a consolation prize to MVP versus the

1038
00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:35,239
Speaker 2: current unbeating champion Yaroslav Amasov, and it's not as good

1039
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,000
Speaker 2: of a fight, but it's it's close in its own way.

1040
00:47:38,120 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, what really helps uh Storly's stock

1041
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 2: at the moment is not just you know, putting away

1042
00:47:44,680 --> 00:47:47,000
Speaker 2: that really that hometown when he had where he just

1043
00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:49,000
Speaker 2: didn't look good and didn't look right. He put that away.

1044
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 2: And his last fight, you know against Neman Gracie, I mean,

1045
00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 2: he was blooding guts at times. He he really showed

1046
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 2: us something. The fact though that we've already seen him

1047
00:47:56,800 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 2: against the current champion Amasov and you know, they produce

1048
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 2: one of the best in Belator history. It was you know,

1049
00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,160
Speaker 2: it was tactical, There was there was drama, there was

1050
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:07,840
Speaker 2: a lot of back and forth. It's like it's a

1051
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 2: slightly easier fight for MVP in some ways, yet Luke,

1052
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,120
Speaker 2: at the same time, what was the big draw of

1053
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: seeing MVP finally fight Amasov was you know, is he

1054
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:19,759
Speaker 2: for real? And remember we had this discussion with Big

1055
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: John and and Josh Thompson, and I think that's part

1056
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 2: of what made the little drama back and forth when

1057
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,880
Speaker 2: when we were on the scene there in Belatour and

1058
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 2: Josh Thompson was kind of, you know, throwing throwing right

1059
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: hands at us Luke and we were sparring a little

1060
00:48:31,760 --> 00:48:34,960
Speaker 2: bit verbally and sort of like, what's this guy's energy

1061
00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 2: right here? Was he thought we were, you know, just

1062
00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 2: discounting MVP to altogether. No, MVP spectacular and he's amazing

1063
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 2: and he has gotten so much better. But until you

1064
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,200
Speaker 2: actually see him go in there against somebody like Amasov

1065
00:48:48,440 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 2: who we know could potentially take him down and just

1066
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 2: you know, rinse and repeating grind him for for for

1067
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 2: twenty five straight minutes. Until you see that against somebody

1068
00:48:57,200 --> 00:49:00,359
Speaker 2: at that level, you're not going to fully belie. There's

1069
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,080
Speaker 2: always going to be that part of you that has doubts.

1070
00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:05,279
Speaker 2: So it's like the ultimate perfect timing. Yes, MVP took

1071
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,480
Speaker 2: a little bit longer to get here in terms of matchmaking,

1072
00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:12,440
Speaker 2: but he's gotten better in such huge increments, particularly his

1073
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: last couple that damn you want to see if MVP

1074
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,800
Speaker 2: is the real but yet luckily for us as a replacement,

1075
00:49:19,120 --> 00:49:22,440
Speaker 2: Story's still good enough to really push that potentially out

1076
00:49:22,480 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 2: of him and Luke. The one thing you can say

1077
00:49:24,120 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: about Storly against Gracie is, I mean, his striking wasn't

1078
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 2: a ten out of a ten. He's not a completely

1079
00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,279
Speaker 2: well rounded fighter. He still needs to rely on his

1080
00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: strengths in a lot of ways, but he seems intangible

1081
00:49:34,920 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 2: wise to be like legitimately battle tested and ready to

1082
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: do whatever he has to do to win his chance

1083
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 2: at the title here against MVP, and knowing that, now,

1084
00:49:43,320 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 2: knowing we've seen him go through hell a little bit,

1085
00:49:46,200 --> 00:49:47,759
Speaker 2: it only adds to how good this fight can be.

1086
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally. I mean he listened. He fought even Gracie

1087
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 1: outside of his comfort zone by virtue of the fact

1088
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:55,960
Speaker 1: that he didn't want to mess with Demon Gracy's ground game,

1089
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 1: which is I think criminally underrated. Quite personally, I think

1090
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:01,480
Speaker 1: Demon Graci's ground game excellent, and so he was like, well,

1091
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 1: I guess I'm gonna have to strike it out, and

1092
00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:05,480
Speaker 1: he did, and that's exactly what he did. But you

1093
00:50:05,560 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 1: go back to the yarslov Amastaf fight, if you guys

1094
00:50:07,440 --> 00:50:10,640
Speaker 1: have never seen Amasaw versus story. It's maybe one of

1095
00:50:10,719 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 1: Bellatore's best fights ever. It is a phenomenal contest. I

1096
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 1: mean truly epic. Those two were wrestling, and one of

1097
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: those wrestling contests where it was like back and forth

1098
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: and back and forth. I don't know how those guys

1099
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: weren't completely gassed and Logan Storley only came up a

1100
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: little bit short. Dude. He gets to go back to

1101
00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,760
Speaker 1: that this time. Now, of course he has to negotiate

1102
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 1: that distance. Obviously, that's treacherous and some of this fight's

1103
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to be fought on the feet. Obviously we

1104
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 1: all understand that. But like, does Storley have to look

1105
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,800
Speaker 1: away from the ground game, No, he has to go

1106
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,440
Speaker 1: right to it, and this is where he does his

1107
00:50:40,560 --> 00:50:42,799
Speaker 1: best work. So if you're MVP, who, by the way,

1108
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 1: is entering this fight, like since let's say, since the pandemic,

1109
00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:49,560
Speaker 1: he's beaten Ross Houston, Derek Anderson, and then Douglas Lima

1110
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,480
Speaker 1: via split decision of the Lima win is his nicest one.

1111
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:54,239
Speaker 1: But Lima is I think on a big skit in

1112
00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 1: his career. There's a question about whether his prime is

1113
00:50:56,560 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: over for obviously, Logan story since the pandemic, he has

1114
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: that razor thin loss to Yarslov Amasov, then he'd beat

1115
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,360
Speaker 1: Dante Cherro and then to the point you raise Nieman

1116
00:51:06,440 --> 00:51:08,959
Speaker 1: Gracie and the Niemen Gracie win was a big five round,

1117
00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,279
Speaker 1: real gut check kind of moment. And in the answer

1118
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: to the bell, dude, you got to love this contest.

1119
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 1: If Logan story wins, you could not say that he

1120
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't be deserving of the rematch against Amasov or however

1121
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 1: that Beltore is going to negotiate that with the war

1122
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: in Ukraine. And for Michael Page, dude, this would be

1123
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 1: the Douglas Lima win is the biggest one on paper,

1124
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 1: but in terms of getting a guy who's ready to

1125
00:51:26,960 --> 00:51:29,839
Speaker 1: go at his best and has a particular skill set

1126
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:33,359
Speaker 1: around that that fighter's weakness, the story win but would

1127
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: by far be his best win on paper. And to

1128
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,680
Speaker 1: have to have Lima and Story as back to back

1129
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,799
Speaker 1: potential wins, dude, that is that's a you couldn't hate

1130
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: on him anymore. After that, you could say, which you

1131
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,480
Speaker 1: one about what happened before, But that's that's a very

1132
00:51:45,560 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 1: commendable We could give the same.

1133
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 2: You know, criticism this way of did it need an

1134
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,320
Speaker 2: interim title here when we know Amasov's coming back that

1135
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,640
Speaker 2: we gave the UFC, you can make that same case here.

1136
00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,480
Speaker 2: I think this is a situation where Beltore hasn't necessarily,

1137
00:51:58,719 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 2: you know, ever really a use that situation. It still

1138
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: keeps their London card very strong. Is it the same

1139
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: thing in the end, yes, But I think what this

1140
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:08,920
Speaker 2: will do with at least the good byproduct of it,

1141
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 2: as you mentioned before about silver linings, Luke, is this

1142
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,960
Speaker 2: gonna make the fight against Amasov even bigger, whether it's

1143
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 2: MVP having just proven he can beat the same style,

1144
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 2: or whether it's Story and now we get this rematch

1145
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:22,919
Speaker 2: for the title and we can talk again how great

1146
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 2: the first one was. But secondly, Luke, the best part

1147
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,759
Speaker 2: about the substitution is it doesn't change at the core

1148
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:31,840
Speaker 2: why this matchup is great, whether it's Amasov or Story

1149
00:52:31,840 --> 00:52:35,440
Speaker 2: against MVP. You know what each one does great is

1150
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 2: the kryptonite of the other, right, So that's how you

1151
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 2: love those type of contrasting fights.

1152
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: No doubt about it. Also on the card, BC, there's

1153
00:52:42,880 --> 00:52:45,640
Speaker 1: some other good ones here. Lioto Machida's and your co

1154
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 1: main event taking on Fabian Edwards sort of a decent

1155
00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,560
Speaker 1: middleweight contest. I would have to say, I have my

1156
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,719
Speaker 1: eyes a little bit more on Denise Kilholtz, who gave

1157
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 1: Juliana Velaskez I thought a fight. Some people thought Denise

1158
00:52:57,320 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: had won. It was certainly very close against Conna Watson.

1159
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: Abby at one twenty five what's an Abby of course

1160
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:05,200
Speaker 1: got smoked by the rejuvenated Liz car Moosh if you

1161
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:07,279
Speaker 1: want to put it that way, fun little contest. There

1162
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,959
Speaker 1: see anything else that catches your eye on this card?

1163
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:12,920
Speaker 2: I mean this Paul Daily replacement, you know, opponent is

1164
00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 2: not the one we wanted necessarily. If this is the

1165
00:53:14,960 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 2: last time for Paul Daily though, if that.

1166
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:19,920
Speaker 1: I think that guy Wendel Giacomo is a Pitbull Brothers guy,

1167
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:20,680
Speaker 1: but I could be wrong.

1168
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 2: With oh yeah, you know he is. And that's look

1169
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,839
Speaker 2: when when they said Jose Agusto was a pit Bull

1170
00:53:24,880 --> 00:53:26,920
Speaker 2: Brother's guy, Look what he did in that Robel Johnson fight.

1171
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,799
Speaker 2: He went the hell after it. So it's worth watching there,

1172
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 2: whether this is the final fight for Paul Daily or not.

1173
00:53:33,160 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: Connor McGregor friend Charlie Ward on the on the undercard,

1174
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:39,120
Speaker 2: Luke teammate there of SBG so you know, will we

1175
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 2: get the irishman there in London? I don't know. I

1176
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: don't know, Luke. I can't predict that.

1177
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,480
Speaker 1: All right, let's move with that. If we can to

1178
00:53:46,680 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: the UFC fight in our card, we have Bellator versus Rackets.

1179
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: That's your main event. Yan Blohovich is back taking on

1180
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: Alexander Rackets BC. I've not looked at the betting odds

1181
00:53:56,200 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 1: for this. I'm going to imagine that Rackets is a

1182
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 1: slight favorite. As you swap out ear pieces, I have

1183
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: no idea if you can even hear a word I'm saying.

1184
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,800
Speaker 2: Look, I didn't swap out ear pieces. I grabbed a drink,

1185
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:07,320
Speaker 2: all right.

1186
00:54:07,440 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 1: Oh did you all right? Well, I was looking at

1187
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:10,600
Speaker 1: the corner of my eye, I say. As we know,

1188
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:13,040
Speaker 1: Bluhovich came off the best win of his career, or

1189
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,919
Speaker 1: maybe one of the more high profile wins, beating Israel Adessinya,

1190
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: but then lost BC to Glover to Shera in his

1191
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 1: last fight, and it was pretty one sided for the

1192
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,120
Speaker 1: most part too. That's not quite true, but not a

1193
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:27,239
Speaker 1: great performance from Belkovich. Here he has taken on Alexander

1194
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,040
Speaker 1: Rakitch BC. Rakich enters this contest on a two fight

1195
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: win streak. He did lose to Volcan Uzdamir, but then

1196
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:37,319
Speaker 1: beat Anthony Smith and Thiago Santos, although in somewhat lackluster fights. Yes,

1197
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: what is your anticipation for this one?

1198
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,879
Speaker 2: It's twofold, basically touched on kind of what you said,

1199
00:54:42,920 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 2: and this fact is like, look, that's the worst performance

1200
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:48,239
Speaker 2: of elite Yon Belkovitch's career. And let's not forget that

1201
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: it wasn't that long ago, which is what made Yon's

1202
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,440
Speaker 2: story so great that we didn't think of him as elite,

1203
00:54:53,480 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 2: that he was kind of a journeyman, a tough out,

1204
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:58,839
Speaker 2: but a journeyman in some degree. Well, he turned that around,

1205
00:54:58,880 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 2: had the late career resurgen. But then straight up is like,

1206
00:55:01,960 --> 00:55:03,880
Speaker 2: I've never felt that way before in the cage, So

1207
00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,040
Speaker 2: let's give credit to Glover to share he took care

1208
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 2: of business. But you do agree with that sort of

1209
00:55:09,360 --> 00:55:11,839
Speaker 2: self complaint. It didn't look like the best yam bloho.

1210
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:15,759
Speaker 2: It's something went wrong, something got miswired, whatever was worst

1211
00:55:15,880 --> 00:55:19,160
Speaker 2: night of his life. He's got a great opportunity to

1212
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:21,399
Speaker 2: come back and prove that was nothing, and he still

1213
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 2: got it. And then suddenly you know he could be

1214
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: in line. This could be a number one contender fight

1215
00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 2: for him in that regard. I mean, it probably is

1216
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: for both guys, But boy, does Wreckage have an opportunity

1217
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,520
Speaker 2: to put away whatever remaining criticism we have, and I

1218
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:38,560
Speaker 2: think you nailed it. Not always exciting when he builds

1219
00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:40,840
Speaker 2: a lead and is sort of content to a certain degree,

1220
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 2: unless you're rushing him and making him fight. He's got

1221
00:55:44,440 --> 00:55:46,000
Speaker 2: a chance here, Luke. I mean, you could not be

1222
00:55:46,280 --> 00:55:48,640
Speaker 2: a bigger name than the former champion right here in

1223
00:55:48,719 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: the in the guy's first fight after losing the title

1224
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 2: to come out and try to get a finish and

1225
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: try to show people that no, I am in that

1226
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:59,920
Speaker 2: same category as Prahatska and Akliav and these these hammers

1227
00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 2: that are coming on right now. But look, you gotta

1228
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,959
Speaker 2: love either of these fighters, you know, hopes and chances

1229
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,719
Speaker 2: of getting the title shot with a win here. This

1230
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 2: is big stakes and obviously could be big action. Could

1231
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 2: be Sovich could bring that out of them.

1232
00:56:14,080 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: Blahovich has sort of proven that he was not merely

1233
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:18,919
Speaker 1: a championship material, but could hold it for a little while,

1234
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:21,719
Speaker 1: like he proved that for a short time. Anyway, he

1235
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 1: could be the best in that way class and potentially

1236
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:24,839
Speaker 1: he could get back there again. We'll have to see,

1237
00:56:24,920 --> 00:56:27,600
Speaker 1: but certainly, like that run he had if you look

1238
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,279
Speaker 1: at it prior to losing to Glover, I mean, listen

1239
00:56:30,360 --> 00:56:33,839
Speaker 1: to this, just incredible. He went from the Jacko Santos loss,

1240
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:38,360
Speaker 1: which was back in twenty nineteen, then he beats Luke Rockhold, Jacquaray,

1241
00:56:38,640 --> 00:56:41,719
Speaker 1: Corey Anderson, Dominic Reyes and then Izzy all back to

1242
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:43,680
Speaker 1: back to back to back to back and with an

1243
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: incredible run he went on. Then Glover took it from him.

1244
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:49,920
Speaker 2: So your career, Look, that's an entire career.

1245
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 1: In like two years, right, Yeah, And like the winds,

1246
00:56:52,719 --> 00:56:55,520
Speaker 1: I think about that win streak from Luke Rockhole to

1247
00:56:55,600 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: Izzy because the win streak before that was Devin Clark,

1248
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,839
Speaker 1: Jared Kennony or Jimmy Manawa, Ka Kriloff. Like a good

1249
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,560
Speaker 1: win streak, but not nearly as good as beating Luke

1250
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,960
Speaker 1: rock Hole, Jackaray, Corey, Dominica then Izzy completely completely different.

1251
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:11,520
Speaker 1: So you're really seeing how much he had leveled up,

1252
00:57:11,560 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: and that was after a loss, so he could come

1253
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: back here. But certainly, I'm just sort of pointing out

1254
00:57:14,680 --> 00:57:16,880
Speaker 1: that run showed for a little while that he was

1255
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 1: maybe the best two five or Rakach hasn't gotten to

1256
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 1: that yet. So you beat someone like Belhovich, and again

1257
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: it wouldn't prove that either, but it puts you in

1258
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 1: the space to then contend for a title. Puts you

1259
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: in a space and be like, well, should it be Rakas,

1260
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,120
Speaker 1: should it be on Klief? Who's gonna get next in

1261
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 1: this weight class? Obviously after Glover and Yerie have a

1262
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,800
Speaker 1: fight at UFC two seventy five, really really really important.

1263
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: So not merely about Rakach getting to a spot where

1264
00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:40,600
Speaker 1: he could contend for a title, but if you look

1265
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: at his win streaks or his wins, they're very good BC.

1266
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,760
Speaker 1: But if he can't, if he loses to Uzdamir and

1267
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,080
Speaker 1: then loses to Belhovich, it would kind of tell you

1268
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 1: he can challenge the outside of the top five, but

1269
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 1: not the top three. It would kind of say that's

1270
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 1: where he's leveled out at. This would be getting past

1271
00:57:58,280 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 1: that part way first.

1272
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,680
Speaker 2: Stay at new school for him, Luke, if his family

1273
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 2: just moved, He's got an opportunity in this fight to

1274
00:58:06,280 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 2: kind of define what we think of him moving forward

1275
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,480
Speaker 2: and what his reputation's going to be, you know, splashing

1276
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 2: the pool or or quietly dipping his toe in. In

1277
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: terms of title contention, I mean, he can win this

1278
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:17,560
Speaker 2: fight and not look great, Luke, and there won't be

1279
00:58:17,600 --> 00:58:20,040
Speaker 2: the same buzz, and he may not get the automatic

1280
00:58:20,120 --> 00:58:22,520
Speaker 2: title shot. So he's got an opportunity. But I think

1281
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 2: you know, if we if we look at the realities

1282
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 2: of what we know, Jan Belhovich is not necessarily someone

1283
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 2: who's gonna come full volume to try to lure you

1284
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,800
Speaker 2: into a brawl, but he eventually tends to settle in

1285
00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 2: one in the end. So this could be a very

1286
00:58:35,840 --> 00:58:39,000
Speaker 2: physical fight in which the chin the chins of both

1287
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:40,760
Speaker 2: Luke are gonna need to be there. So it's gonna

1288
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 2: be fun.

1289
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,160
Speaker 1: Also on this card, because you'd love to get your thoughts.

1290
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: I guess they resigned Caitlyn Shukegian and then she takes

1291
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: on Amanda Heboss at one five.

1292
00:58:51,880 --> 00:58:55,280
Speaker 2: There's a big fight, Luke. There's a big title contending fight.

1293
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,320
Speaker 2: There's no question about that. Chakeagan got the new deal.

1294
00:58:58,440 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 2: So shout out to her, Luke. Whether we think she's

1295
00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 2: ever been exciting or not right, or whether we think

1296
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:05,680
Speaker 2: she has a good nickname, she doesn't, but that's okay. Luke,

1297
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 2: she's she wins, she's a you know, consistent fighter. But

1298
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,440
Speaker 2: this is you know number. Where are we what division

1299
00:59:13,480 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 2: is this?

1300
00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:13,800
Speaker 1: One?

1301
00:59:13,960 --> 00:59:14,760
Speaker 2: One twenty five?

1302
00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: Luke?

1303
00:59:18,560 --> 00:59:21,520
Speaker 2: I thought they were. Where's he Boss ranked in here?

1304
00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 2: She unranked in this division? Luke, No, she's at one fifteen.

1305
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 2: What the hell are we doing here? Luke, Damn?

1306
00:59:27,520 --> 00:59:28,440
Speaker 1: Do you like to fight or not?

1307
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: B C is she she's moving up? And waite Heboss

1308
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:33,120
Speaker 2: for this?

1309
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:37,160
Speaker 1: I guess so yeah. I like to fight.

1310
00:59:37,320 --> 00:59:39,200
Speaker 2: I like to fight, and its potential I wanted to

1311
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 2: say for he Boss's title contention at one fifteen. This

1312
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 2: is not at one fifteen, but it is at a

1313
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,760
Speaker 2: big name. But to be honest, the matchmaking here is

1314
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 2: a little bit puzzling.

1315
00:59:48,560 --> 00:59:48,720
Speaker 1: Luke.

1316
00:59:48,760 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 2: Can you can you try to make sense of it?

1317
00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,680
Speaker 1: I'm not entirely certain either, especially if it's at one

1318
00:59:52,720 --> 00:59:55,280
Speaker 1: twenty five. If Klan was trying to make one fifteen

1319
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:58,080
Speaker 1: because one twenty five was never going to go her

1320
00:59:58,120 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: way as long as shift Chenko as the champ, that

1321
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: would make more sense. But I guess, Amandy, Heboss doesn't

1322
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:03,840
Speaker 1: want to cut the weight anymore and wants to move

1323
01:00:03,880 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: up to a division where she could Dude like, think

1324
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:07,480
Speaker 1: about it, if they're going to number five in the

1325
01:00:07,600 --> 01:00:10,760
Speaker 1: rankings to give a title shot, like like literally, all

1326
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 1: you have to do is hover around that and you'll

1327
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 1: get one, you know what I mean? So like why

1328
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:17,440
Speaker 1: not try? Why not try to go to one twenty five.

1329
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's an easy thing to walk in

1330
01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:21,680
Speaker 1: the park, but you don't have to climb nearly as high.

1331
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, she fought van Zant there in that one off,

1332
01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 2: but I thought, again it was a one off. Even

1333
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 2: though she had that loss. He boss two fights ago.

1334
01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 2: She bounced back against John Jiroba Luke, and it's interesting.

1335
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 2: We'll see, we'll see what the narrative is. I haven't

1336
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 2: followed it close enough apparently, but I don't think she's

1337
01:00:38,400 --> 01:00:40,120
Speaker 2: making a full time move. Maybe this was just the

1338
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 2: best fight she you know, an opportunity she got. But uh,

1339
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:45,880
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know, Luke. It's it's just puzzle.

1340
01:00:45,960 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: It's a bit puzzling.

1341
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

1342
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:51,000
Speaker 1: Nick Maximov, who who is the Nate Diaz crew guy

1343
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: who relies on wrestling as opens that car at one

1344
01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: eighty five. Also you see Michael Johnson, who is nearly

1345
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: a five hundred fighter nineteen and Sevey seventeen against Elon

1346
01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 1: patric on the prelimbs. Also an interesting Frank Camacho is

1347
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: back on the card. Lewis Smoka taken on Davy Grant.

1348
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of little fun fights on the card

1349
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 1: all the way through.

1350
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, imagine if I told you, without you setting that up,

1351
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,240
Speaker 2: that there's a fighter in the UFC who's nineteen and

1352
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 2: seventeen yet has wins over Edson Barbosa, Tony Ferguson, and

1353
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:21,240
Speaker 2: Dustin Poier.

1354
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: Like Ecidnamy, I stoppage wins in a couple of those cases.

1355
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: I believe, so incredible. All right, BC, Last, but not

1356
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:32,040
Speaker 1: least for our topics Topic number five Jurmel charlo versus

1357
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:35,120
Speaker 1: Brian Costano too. Now, we are not fools about our audience.

1358
01:01:35,160 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 1: We know that they're mostly boxing fans. But BC, we

1359
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:41,440
Speaker 1: try to get people, whether it's Showtime or Dezi Own

1360
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 1: or anybody else, to watch the boxing fights that really matter.

1361
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: This one matters, and it matters for a couple of reasons. One,

1362
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 1: it's a title unification to an important rematch. But three, BC,

1363
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,680
Speaker 1: there must be something that I don't know about this fighter.

1364
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,400
Speaker 1: I can't appreciate that you can why is this an

1365
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:01,600
Speaker 1: important fight in combat sports to pay in boxing in particular.

1366
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 2: The stakes are high, which is a monster part You

1367
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 2: said unification. It's an undisputed championship, first time to crown

1368
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 2: one at one fifty four, you know, in this modern era.

1369
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,480
Speaker 2: But you know, you add in the drama. They already

1370
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,520
Speaker 2: fought last year and it was a fight of the

1371
01:02:17,600 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 2: year contender type. It was fun. Castano pushed an incredible pace.

1372
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,040
Speaker 2: Only you had a little bit of controversy there. It

1373
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 2: ends up being a draw. Most observers ta Kastanio had

1374
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,160
Speaker 2: done enough. I agree with that. It was sort of

1375
01:02:30,240 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: this who home like wantwomp? You know is this you

1376
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:36,640
Speaker 2: know what the b side never gets a you know ahead,

1377
01:02:36,680 --> 01:02:40,200
Speaker 2: Well he got the immediate rematch here, and I think

1378
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 2: we all tend to believe Jermel Charlow has another gear

1379
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,480
Speaker 2: in maybe the highest potential gear of the two here.

1380
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 2: But yeat Kastanio fights in that style that is just

1381
01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 2: I mean, he's coming on. He's a he's a brawler

1382
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:55,600
Speaker 2: per se, but he's a skilled brawler. He's a you know,

1383
01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 2: he's a functional brawler. There's game planning there, and Luke

1384
01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:03,240
Speaker 2: he inside consistently on Charlot with ease. I mean, he

1385
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 2: was not made to pay in the way that you

1386
01:03:06,120 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 2: would expect because he's not just there to be hit,

1387
01:03:08,800 --> 01:03:11,600
Speaker 2: even though he's cutting inside on you and pushing the pace.

1388
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,120
Speaker 2: So this is a puzzle for Jamel Charlo to figure out.

1389
01:03:15,200 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 2: And you know the thing for Charlo here is a

1390
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 2: loss here packaged with that draw that a lot of

1391
01:03:20,240 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 2: people thought was probably a loss. You know, that's a damage,

1392
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,280
Speaker 2: that's a damaging couple fights stress for a guy who

1393
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 2: really looked after knocking out Jason Rose Rosario unifying the

1394
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:32,880
Speaker 2: belts in that pay per view that the Charlo's headlined

1395
01:03:33,200 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 2: that he was coming on to be a pomp for

1396
01:03:34,920 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 2: pound guy that he was, you know, gonna step in

1397
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,680
Speaker 2: to start them and Chase triple G like everybody else,

1398
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 2: like his brothers, you know, and and and try to

1399
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 2: keep moving up. This turned out to be a hiccup

1400
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 2: for him, Luke, but he's got to come back and

1401
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:48,720
Speaker 2: handle his business. We know how deep this division is.

1402
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 2: Tim Zuo's coming on. There's plenty of former champions, Jared Hurd,

1403
01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 2: you know, on and on, Julian Williams still around, but

1404
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 2: these are the two best and it's it's weird. It's like,

1405
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:02,240
Speaker 2: I feel like Charlo can can right the wrong here,

1406
01:04:02,320 --> 01:04:04,160
Speaker 2: so to speak, and fix what he didn't do the

1407
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 2: first time. But I didn't know Castano had that effort

1408
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:10,600
Speaker 2: in him the first time Luke, and he raised his game. So, dude,

1409
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:12,600
Speaker 2: you're telling me that we got this fight. It's not

1410
01:04:12,680 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 2: a pay per view and they're putting it in the

1411
01:04:14,720 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 2: in the damn wargrounds there in Carson, California, that tennis

1412
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:23,360
Speaker 2: stadium which produces one all time great thriller after another. Yeah, dude,

1413
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,240
Speaker 2: get get pretty fired up for Saturday night. This is

1414
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:26,440
Speaker 2: gonna be great, all right.

1415
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,160
Speaker 1: So who has more to adjust from the first fight.

1416
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna argue Jermel Charlo because I thought Jermel of

1417
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:37,800
Speaker 1: the two. Would you agree that Jermel is better than

1418
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,320
Speaker 1: Jamal relatively speaking pound for pound.

1419
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 2: Slightly? Yes. If you had to compare Apple to Apple

1420
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:48,000
Speaker 2: and try to say which ones, yeah, I'd say Dremal slightly.

1421
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:50,400
Speaker 1: In my opinion, Yeah, I would say Jermal. I mean, yes,

1422
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,080
Speaker 1: he's in the bigger weight class, but I would say

1423
01:04:52,080 --> 01:04:54,960
Speaker 1: he's also like pound for pound, I think a slightly

1424
01:04:55,080 --> 01:04:57,840
Speaker 1: heavier puncher, A little bit more physical, whereas I think

1425
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 1: Jermmel has a little bit more speed time I ming

1426
01:05:00,360 --> 01:05:04,440
Speaker 1: razzle dazzle again. There these are fairly fairly similar, I mean,

1427
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 1: very similar fighters. But you know I would spotlight some

1428
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: of those differences. But to me, Jermel had I think

1429
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,440
Speaker 1: was a little bit surprised BC by the gusto frankly

1430
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:20,040
Speaker 1: of Castano Castano in one round. If Charlo was told,

1431
01:05:20,320 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: go win this round, no matter what you have to do,

1432
01:05:22,600 --> 01:05:25,040
Speaker 1: I think he could do it. But I think he

1433
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:30,280
Speaker 1: has trouble applying that against Castano's pressure round over round

1434
01:05:30,360 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: over round over round, like show me that again, show

1435
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:35,320
Speaker 1: me that again, show me that again. That part he

1436
01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: had trouble with, and so you would imagine he would

1437
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: have more to adjust around to fix that. I don't

1438
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 1: think it's a talent issue, but I do think it

1439
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: might be a somewhat of a conditioning issue. Believe it

1440
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: or not, not saying that Charlo's have bad conditioning. It's

1441
01:05:48,760 --> 01:05:50,280
Speaker 1: not what I'm saying, but you might need a very

1442
01:05:50,440 --> 01:05:53,080
Speaker 1: special one for this particular kind of fighter. And I

1443
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:55,320
Speaker 1: think that there are some tactical adjustments he can make

1444
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,960
Speaker 1: to preserve himself over the course of this fight that

1445
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,439
Speaker 1: maybe he didn't do. I think he invited a little

1446
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:03,240
Speaker 1: bit more brawling, especially middle late in this fight. Then

1447
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: perhaps he wanted to What do you make of that analysis?

1448
01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you're dead on. I think the main

1449
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 2: thing about this why I still can confidently say despite

1450
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 2: having just seen Charlo lose to Kastanio the first time,

1451
01:06:13,880 --> 01:06:16,400
Speaker 2: although I know it was a draw, is that if

1452
01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:20,360
Speaker 2: anyone can improve on it higher, it's Charlo Castano. You

1453
01:06:20,400 --> 01:06:24,280
Speaker 2: know it's over exceeded my expectations and fall brilliantly. But

1454
01:06:24,360 --> 01:06:27,640
Speaker 2: if there's a fatal flaw in Jamel Charlo, it's weird.

1455
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:29,680
Speaker 2: My fatal flaw on him is a little different, yet

1456
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:32,360
Speaker 2: it connects with the one you said potentially about does

1457
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:34,400
Speaker 2: he have the guests TNK to carry out the type

1458
01:06:34,440 --> 01:06:38,000
Speaker 2: of twelve round high volume but also high craft that

1459
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:41,320
Speaker 2: you would expect against Castanio. He's a little bit too

1460
01:06:41,400 --> 01:06:44,040
Speaker 2: in love with his own artistry, and I think that's

1461
01:06:44,160 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 2: what fuels the low output and when it works, when

1462
01:06:47,680 --> 01:06:50,160
Speaker 2: he knocks out Jason Rozario brilliantly late in that fight,

1463
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:53,040
Speaker 2: with the perfect shots, it's wonderful. But when the other

1464
01:06:53,080 --> 01:06:55,400
Speaker 2: guy doesn't go down like the first Tony Harrison fight,

1465
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 2: or even to be fair, most of the second Tony

1466
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 2: Harrison fight that I thought Jamel Charlo was down on

1467
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 2: the cards but then pulled out the knockout. When he

1468
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 2: doesn't pull out the knockout, you suddenly go, man, you're

1469
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 2: a little bit too good to be doing that Canelo

1470
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:12,000
Speaker 2: thing and not, you know, leaving no doubt if he

1471
01:07:12,080 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 2: can do that, which would mean a consistent jab against Castano, right,

1472
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 2: making him pay a toll for getting inside, if he's

1473
01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:21,480
Speaker 2: willing to dig in and try to time those uppercuts

1474
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 2: and make it a consistent threat to basically tell Kastanyo

1475
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:27,000
Speaker 2: it's not going to be easy this time. Yeah, he

1476
01:07:27,080 --> 01:07:29,920
Speaker 2: could be. This could be a coming out party for

1477
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:33,160
Speaker 2: how great Dremal is. Jermal could also potentially win this, Luke,

1478
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 2: if it's a more boxing oriented one with footwork and

1479
01:07:36,720 --> 01:07:38,959
Speaker 2: jab and trying to cut out. I mean, there's there's

1480
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:42,640
Speaker 2: That's why you have to still love and believe in Dremal,

1481
01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:45,680
Speaker 2: because if anybody has more ways to win compared to Kastano,

1482
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:48,439
Speaker 2: it's him. But he's gotta execute it in the face

1483
01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 2: of a guy who just refuses to take a backward

1484
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 2: step yet again, isn't there to be hit? You know,

1485
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 2: most brawlers, okay, they can put it on you, but

1486
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 2: you can crack the code and get him out of there.

1487
01:07:58,440 --> 01:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Kastanio disguises himself. Well, he goes to the body, he's rugged,

1488
01:08:02,240 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 2: he leans on you. This is like the perfect crypt

1489
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 2: tonight for Charlo, which is why this matchup is so

1490
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:10,840
Speaker 2: good because Luke, for him to silence Gastano, he's gonna

1491
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 2: have to come out of his shell and do things

1492
01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,760
Speaker 2: that we've seen in Splashes, like those knockouts, the one

1493
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,519
Speaker 2: against Hatlee, the one against Lubin, right, they just coiled snake,

1494
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 2: just delivering, but the delivery system to set those up

1495
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:28,560
Speaker 2: on this level, it's got to be more offensively, you know,

1496
01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,479
Speaker 2: going forward. And if he does, Luke, if you can

1497
01:08:30,560 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 2: figure out that balance, yes, you're talking potentially about one

1498
01:08:34,040 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 2: of the ten best fighters in this whole game.

1499
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 1: You see, who is the crowd gonna favor here? First

1500
01:08:38,360 --> 01:08:40,560
Speaker 1: time they fought in San Antonio, which was neutral in

1501
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,160
Speaker 1: the sense that neither is from there, but Charlo's are

1502
01:08:43,200 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: from Texas obviously, but Gastano is from Argentina. How much

1503
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,000
Speaker 1: a are the Argentine fans gonna travel for him or

1504
01:08:51,080 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: be do the other like, who is his fan base

1505
01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 1: there in California? Is this a neutral side? How do

1506
01:08:56,479 --> 01:09:00,600
Speaker 1: you view putting the fight the rematch in basically California

1507
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: versus Texas the first time, Well, you're.

1508
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:04,960
Speaker 2: Putting it like Texas. You know, you're you're aiming at

1509
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 2: the Mexican American fan base without question, but you're making

1510
01:09:08,240 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 2: it a home game for that Mexican American fan base

1511
01:09:10,760 --> 01:09:13,120
Speaker 2: here in Greater LA And and I think, look, you know,

1512
01:09:13,439 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 2: Kastanio's Argentinian. He's not Mexican, but he fights a Mexican

1513
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 2: style for sure. So you get the the optics there

1514
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,760
Speaker 2: of why Castanio could very much end up being a

1515
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 2: crowd favorite here. But yet at the same time, you

1516
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 2: know the Charlo's, they've extended their footprint, maybe not on

1517
01:09:28,600 --> 01:09:32,000
Speaker 2: a Germanvante Davis level where that level of celebrity is

1518
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 2: there in the front row consistently, but you know the

1519
01:09:34,800 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 2: Charlo's pack of punch, and people do end up caring

1520
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:39,400
Speaker 2: about him. But yeah, Luke, it's it's no secret here

1521
01:09:39,840 --> 01:09:44,840
Speaker 2: of Castano's style Mexican American market. He's our Argentinian brother

1522
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:49,000
Speaker 2: for this day. Argentians do travel for like Ma Donna Floyd,

1523
01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:52,240
Speaker 2: but I haven't seen it as consistent. They're going to

1524
01:09:52,280 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 2: be there, no question. And Matista had a good, good

1525
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:57,760
Speaker 2: traveling group, but you know, not on comparison to the UK,

1526
01:09:58,040 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 2: you know, or other other ethnic.

1527
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,080
Speaker 1: Back Sergio Martinez, did the Argentines travel for him.

1528
01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 2: A little, but not in overwhelming numbers.

1529
01:10:06,400 --> 01:10:08,000
Speaker 1: No, not a lot. Okay. Yeah.

1530
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 2: And also look, you know, Martinez kind of became a

1531
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 2: boxer in Spain, so even though he grew up in Argentina,

1532
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 2: you need to start boxing until nineteen, so you know,

1533
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:15,640
Speaker 2: it's a.

1534
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 1: It's a little different. I get it. I get it.

1535
01:10:17,680 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 1: And there's a weird connection between Argentina and Spain. Okay,

1536
01:10:20,960 --> 01:10:23,080
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Those are our top five topics.

1537
01:10:23,120 --> 01:10:25,080
Speaker 1: But BC, I want you to know when I think

1538
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:27,599
Speaker 1: about you know, Charlo Costaanio two on thinking about defense,

1539
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,679
Speaker 1: But when I think about defense, it's the worst segue ever.

1540
01:10:32,200 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: I think about great VPNs Do you like VPNs? BC?

Speaker 2: weekend storylines and not talk about that, you know, viral

1568
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:13,760
Speaker 2: boxing match on a helipad in Dubai. You know?

1569
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 1: Oh, I just don't care. Yeah, yeah, I mean also,

1570
01:12:19,360 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: I didn't say this, and I do care a little bit.

1571
01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:23,720
Speaker 1: I will watch the main event of the weekend. But

1572
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 1: Invicta is also tonight and it's Ducatti versus Apatella for

1573
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:33,599
Speaker 1: your adam no excuse me, straweight title fight. And by

1574
01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:35,640
Speaker 1: the way, Emily Ducatti her records ten and six. That

1575
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 1: doesn't scream out at you like, oh this is amazing,

1576
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:42,160
Speaker 1: but she's actually quite good and has massively improved since

1577
01:12:42,160 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 1: her time in Bellatore. That's actually a really fun fight.

1578
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: I think that's going to be on MMA Junkie in

1579
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 1: Victa forty seven FC. Ducatti versus Apatella.

1580
01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 2: Is that a John Morgan and cmpunk production, Luke.

1581
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 1: I think they do c FFC if I'm not mistaken,

1582
01:12:58,479 --> 01:12:59,280
Speaker 1: I'm not sure.

1583
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 2: Okay, according to our our team, they do ce F

1584
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 2: f C and I got that wrong. But they're actually

1585
01:13:06,439 --> 01:13:07,080
Speaker 2: pretty good together.

1586
01:13:07,080 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 1: I'll give them.

1587
01:13:07,640 --> 01:13:08,680
Speaker 2: I give them some credit there.

1588
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, they are good together. See. Actually it's not a

1589
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 1: bad role for seeing them punk. I think it clearly

1590
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 1: likes m m a like. He clearly like has a

1591
01:13:15,080 --> 01:13:17,560
Speaker 1: legitimate love for it. But like me, it's just not

1592
01:13:17,720 --> 01:13:18,280

1641
01:15:31,760 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: a big fan of and I realized that this is

1642
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: a hot take. I personally, I don't think green looks

1643
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,320
Speaker 1: good in tattoos, especially like Emerald Green. I think it

1644
01:15:39,400 --> 01:15:40,000
Speaker 1: looks really bad.

1645
01:15:40,200 --> 01:15:42,839
Speaker 2: Tell that to Michael Kissa Luke. He has great green tattoos.

1646
01:15:42,920 --> 01:15:45,200
Speaker 1: I know, I know people love it. I am out

1647
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 1: voted on this one, but for me, personally, I just

1648
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: think Green looks terrible.

1649
01:15:49,240 --> 01:15:51,040
Speaker 2: Do you think that's the Donk that he ran into

1650
01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: that knew about MK and they took a pick, luc

1651
01:15:52,920 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 2: Or do you think that's his significant other?

1652
01:15:56,000 --> 01:16:00,840
Speaker 1: M that's a great question. I'm gonna say, sig significant other.

1672
01:17:05,760 --> 01:17:07,439

1678
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 2: what did he send? Look at this is a meme

1679
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:30,280
Speaker 2: of the parents fighting and the MK fans can't take it.

1680
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 1: When we're arguing about our stupid arguments. The MK fans

1681
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,400
Speaker 1: look at him. They just don't like it.

1682
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, well this is this is raw, this is real. Okay,

1683
01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: this is a true story, Luke. This one's from at

1684
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:48,160
Speaker 2: King Daser d A s E R. Sorry, BC, but

1685
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:50,120
Speaker 2: this one's for Luke. I've been a fan since your

1686
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 2: promotional malpractice in MMA be Shit and became an even

1687
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:56,360
Speaker 2: bigger fan when I learned how awesome your taste in

1688
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,040
Speaker 2: hip hop is. Anyone who lists Sean Price is one

1689
01:17:59,040 --> 01:18:02,640
Speaker 2: of their favorite rappers gets infinite, infinite cool points. In

1690
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 2: my book, I'm an artist from NYC, and I thought

1691
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,880
Speaker 2: Luke would appreciate this. Luke t rendition of Sean Prices Mike.

1692
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:13,639
Speaker 1: Tyson is fucking incredible. So this is a play off

1693
01:18:13,760 --> 01:18:17,719
Speaker 1: of the album Mike Tyson spelled m I C where

1694
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: Sean Price had consistent use of like rugby shirts and

1695
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: gorilla imagery, but he added my face to this obviously,

1696
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 1: and then the dumbbell he added as well. But the

1697
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:29,960
Speaker 1: bigger part is not just that it's a riff on

1698
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: the Mike Tyson cover. Sean P used to have that

1699
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 1: letter P in his name in that same font and

1700
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:40,200
Speaker 1: size where you see the tea here. He just switched

1701
01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:42,720
Speaker 1: it over from a P to a T. That is

1702
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,520
Speaker 1: super fucking cool, super.

1703
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 2: Cool that that yellow T is the only high T

1704
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:50,280
Speaker 2: in that entire picture. But I like it just the same.

1705
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:51,200
Speaker 1: MoU That's great.

1706
01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 2: Okay, This next one's from Matt Hey donks, here's a

1707
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,920

01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,439
Speaker 1: It's a real band, it's a real thing.

1715
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,559
Speaker 2: It's metal. It's it's like shouting metal.

1716
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 1: It's like, yeah, it's like shouting metal. It's just instead

1717
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 1: of being about like engorged, you know, gut entrails or whatever.

1718
01:19:26,439 --> 01:19:29,760
Speaker 1: It's about like bongs or something. But it's real. You

1719
01:19:29,800 --> 01:19:31,280
Speaker 1: can look at it. What they have albums and stuff.

1720
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:33,000
Speaker 1: It's a real band, all right.

1724
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,920
Speaker 2: any of BC shit about the Adina pronunciation.

1725
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:52,920

1731
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 2: little meme I threw together after watching you guys fake

1732
01:20:06,640 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 2: civility while not on your own show. Congratulations and all

1733

Speaker 2: your success. Keep up your disgusting behavior.

1734
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,120
Speaker 1: Yes, I would like to tell you that this meme

1735
01:20:15,280 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: over is overstated and wrong, but if anything, it's understated. Yeah.

1736
01:20:19,960 --> 01:20:21,960
Speaker 2: I think I think it's dead right, and I and

1737
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 2: I and I give this guy a lot of credit.

1738
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 2: Thank you, Wes.

1739
01:20:24,280 --> 01:20:26,920
Speaker 1: That's hilarious, very true, very out on.

1740
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:29,640
Speaker 2: The on the Twitter today on morning Combat and I

1741
01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: had a hearty laugh. Hey Todd says, Hey, guys, I

1742
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:36,640
Speaker 2: stumbled across the selfie that BC posted, And boy is

1743
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 2: he staying true to his intro to the show when

1744
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,240
Speaker 2: he says, this is our life, this is our passion.

1745
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:46,560
Speaker 2: That's the spirit we bring to this show. What does that?

1746
01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:50,479
Speaker 1: I can't quite read the initials? Is it O? MK?

1747
01:20:52,520 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: What's it underneath my beard? Twenty one?

1748
01:20:56,960 --> 01:20:57,960
Speaker 2: Yeah? For life?

1749
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,880
Speaker 1: It's oh for life? Oh okay, I think.

1750
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:06,360
Speaker 2: I think it's a play on that naval tattoo, Luke,

1751
01:21:06,439 --> 01:21:08,479
Speaker 2: that you're avoiding that naval tattoo you own.

1752
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:10,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not an I don't know why you keep

1753
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,000
Speaker 1: calling it's not a naval tattoo, Like I don't know

1754
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:12,280
Speaker 1: why you.

1755
01:21:12,280 --> 01:21:13,759
Speaker 2: Can circles around your navel.

1756
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: Correct. It doesn't though, Like that's the thing that's the

1757
01:21:15,920 --> 01:21:17,280
Speaker 1: funny part about it actually.

1758
01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 2: Doesn't, Luke picks or it doesn't count.

1759
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,439
Speaker 1: Yeah, it doesn't count, Like anything you say literally doesn't count.

1760
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 2: All right. Finally, Luke Danger Mouse slides in. He's got

1761
01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:31,160

Speaker 2: a blue dress shirt underneath, and a pair of jeens

1823
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 2: on episode one of MK.

1824
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 3: I did not check his pants, but correct on that, Luke,

1825
01:24:24,200 --> 01:24:25,360
Speaker 3: what did BC wear?

1826
01:24:26,800 --> 01:24:32,600
Speaker 1: Okay? The answer is definitely something stupid, but specifically specifically,

1827
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't remember much other than I thought his jacket

1828
01:24:35,680 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 1: was like a gray jacket. Is that true?

1829
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:40,080
Speaker 2: No?

1830
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:41,160
Speaker 1: It is blue.

1831
01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,280
Speaker 3: So one point for BC, zero for Luke.

1832
01:24:45,160 --> 01:24:46,800
Speaker 1: Question number see he don't know shit?

1833
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:49,040
Speaker 3: Question number two.

1834
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:52,320
Speaker 2: Luke, I did Mikey you had asked me to guess

1835
01:24:52,360 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 2: what I thought Luke would say. I don't get a

1836
01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:54,800
Speaker 2: point for that.

1837
01:24:56,600 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 3: No, you you got the point for getting it right.

1838
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:00,800
Speaker 3: Blue shop, blue suit.

1839
01:25:00,840 --> 01:25:04,840
Speaker 1: BC has asked the directions of this game, and I'm

1840
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:08,000
Speaker 1: not joking no less than thirty nine million times.

1841
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,640
Speaker 2: Okay, but you asked me to predict Luke's guest, and

1842
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:15,560
Speaker 2: my guess was BC wore his stupid face. So you know,

1843
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 2: Luke said, this is definitely something stupid. So that should

1844
01:25:18,320 --> 01:25:20,719
Speaker 2: give me another point. All right, that's all I'm talking about.

1845
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 1: I think it gets you, honorable mention. Can we move

1846
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:23,599
Speaker 1: this along please?

1847
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:28,360
Speaker 3: All right, Luke? What was BC's first job? So?

1848
01:25:28,520 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: I believe that his first job was working in the

1849
01:25:31,560 --> 01:25:35,000
Speaker 1: mail room in a factory. I believe. I'm not sure

1850
01:25:35,040 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: about it, but I believe that is wrong.

1851
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Luke. I was twenty six when I was working

1852
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 2: in the shipping and receiving department of the factory. Unfortunately, Luke, Okay,

1853
01:25:46,720 --> 01:25:48,200
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you very much.

1854
01:25:49,240 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: You are a fucking loser. Okay, Well I got that wrong.

1855
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 3: All right, BC? What was Luke's first job? Uh?

1856
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:58,840
Speaker 2: The only job he's been fired from? Chick fil A.

1857
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,320
Speaker 2: Was Luke's first job in Northern Virginia?

1858
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:04,200
Speaker 1: Well he got you got Chick fil A, right, but

1859
01:26:04,320 --> 01:26:07,280
Speaker 1: your it's not northern Virginia. Oh no, that was Kennesaw, Georgia.

1860
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:09,519
Speaker 2: That's right, that's all. Yeah, that's right. So I still

1861
01:26:09,560 --> 01:26:10,120
Speaker 2: get the point here.

1862
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:11,960
Speaker 1: He still gets the point right now, The answer was

1863
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 1: my first job where I ever showed up and like

1864
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:16,080
Speaker 1: did labor and got paid, even though it was child

1865
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:20,120
Speaker 1: labor and probably the tobacco. But if we're talking about

1866
01:26:20,280 --> 01:26:22,560
Speaker 1: like Britain, if we're talking but I also wrote in

1867
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:24,840
Speaker 1: my answer in fairness, you still get a right BC,

1868
01:26:25,000 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 1: which was if we're talking like brick and mortar place,

1869
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,320
Speaker 1: like a real place, it was Chick fil A And

1870
01:26:30,360 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: I did get fired from Chick fil Ah.

1871
01:26:32,479 --> 01:26:34,640
Speaker 2: Luke, My, that's that's a great story. I get the

1872
01:26:34,720 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 2: point for sure. I love though the curveballs in your bio,

1873
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 2: like you know, lived in Doha at age three, picked

1874
01:26:41,479 --> 01:26:45,800
Speaker 2: cotton ash like nine year old, like like look like

1875
01:26:45,880 --> 01:26:46,839
Speaker 2: this is random.

1876
01:26:47,520 --> 01:26:49,920
Speaker 1: No, not a nine year old, But but what great

1877
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: was that? That was twelve and thirteen? Yeah, for sure.

1878
01:26:54,040 --> 01:26:57,520
Speaker 2: My first day I ever worked a job was at McDonald's.

1879
01:26:57,680 --> 01:26:59,600
Speaker 2: It was the day I got my driver's license. It

1880
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:03,760
Speaker 2: was February twenty second, nineteen ninety five, and uh, I

1881
01:27:03,880 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 2: was making four dollars in twenty six cents an hour.

1882
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:09,880
Speaker 2: I was the fry guy luke on those first few

1883
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,280
Speaker 2: shifts until I realized how much you can burn and

1884
01:27:12,479 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 2: scar your arms for life with those with the temperature

1885
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,680
Speaker 2: of that oil and grease that they put the fries in.

1886
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,760
Speaker 1: Luke. It's I gotta say though, when they get those

1887
01:27:20,840 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 1: fries fresh out of the grease, then they douse them

1888
01:27:22,960 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 1: in like fifteen pounds of salt and then they serve

1889
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:27,280
Speaker 1: it to you. They are tasty.

1890
01:27:27,479 --> 01:27:29,920
Speaker 2: They are I was Briad Guy, the fry Guy. It

1891
01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:31,599
Speaker 2: was lame, Luke. It was really lame.

1892
01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 1: God they call you Briad Guy the fry guy in soup.

1893
01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:36,639
Speaker 1: You have the worst nicknames of the worst life.

1894
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:39,320
Speaker 2: Well that's what my that's actually what my name tag said,

1895
01:27:39,360 --> 01:27:42,840
Speaker 2: briad Guy, the fry Guy. And eventually I started changing

1896
01:27:42,880 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 2: it and just putting like like ridiculously like like Hispanic

1897
01:27:48,720 --> 01:27:50,880
Speaker 2: names that could never possibly be mine Luke, like you know,

1898
01:27:51,040 --> 01:27:54,120
Speaker 2: like like Giermo stuff like that, you know. And then

1899
01:27:54,200 --> 01:27:55,880
Speaker 2: I would hope that people would like look at the

1900
01:27:56,080 --> 01:27:58,800
Speaker 2: name tag and then try to they'd be like, poor,

1901
01:27:58,840 --> 01:28:00,759
Speaker 2: hey is that you? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, actually

1902
01:28:00,840 --> 01:28:05,280
Speaker 2: it is, you know, like yeah Estebob, yes, yeah, yeah, yes,

1903
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:06,200
Speaker 2: showed up.

1904
01:28:06,240 --> 01:28:09,679
Speaker 1: I got ready, okay, all right, next, all right, Question

1905
01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:11,960
Speaker 1: three BC, Who is the better driver?

1906
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:18,360
Speaker 2: I would say, because Luke lives in one of the

1907
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:23,840
Speaker 2: country's biggest metros that he's even though I'm an incredible

1908
01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:27,599
Speaker 2: driver in every capacity, bad weather, long distance, whatever you need.

1909
01:28:27,880 --> 01:28:30,599
Speaker 2: It's one of the few man skills that I dominate.

1910
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: But driving is not a man skill.

1911
01:28:33,240 --> 01:28:35,320
Speaker 2: But Luke has lived in the city for twenty years,

1912
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 2: which is a could I could be off here, Like

1913
01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:40,560
Speaker 2: it's either that he's a great driver, and anyone that

1914
01:28:40,600 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 2: grew up like in the suburbs of a major city

1915
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:45,719
Speaker 2: is typically a great driver because they're used to navigating

1916
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:49,519
Speaker 2: the bullshit. But Luke may also be a public transportation head,

1917
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 2: so he might actually be a shit driver. I already

1918
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:53,960
Speaker 2: gave you the answer that it's Luke, but now I'm

1919
01:28:54,040 --> 01:28:55,760
Speaker 2: questioning myself and it probably should be me.

1920
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:02,880
Speaker 3: Like you all right, well, that would be wrong because

1921
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:06,160
Speaker 3: Luke said that you were also the best driver, So.

1922
01:29:07,680 --> 01:29:10,400
Speaker 1: That one, I'm not a bad driver, but I am

1923
01:29:10,479 --> 01:29:14,479
Speaker 1: an infrequent driver, and so for those reasons, you drive

1924
01:29:14,640 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 1: significantly longer distances for significantly longer times, you're probably a

1925
01:29:19,600 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: better driver in that sense. I would I would give

1926
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:25,679
Speaker 1: it to you, yes, thank you. Now. It's also because

1927
01:29:25,720 --> 01:29:30,560
Speaker 1: you're listening to Rabbi Shenkar. You know, freebase fentanyl and

1928
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 1: do you know strumming on the sitar for seven and

1929
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,400
Speaker 1: a half hours, and so you just kind of zone

1930
01:29:35,439 --> 01:29:37,760
Speaker 1: out and let your body take over. But I just

1931
01:29:37,800 --> 01:29:40,559
Speaker 1: want to be clear, See driving is not a man skilled.

1932
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:42,880
Speaker 1: Driving in the rain or snow is also not a

1933
01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:43,519
Speaker 1: man skill.

1934
01:29:43,800 --> 01:29:46,760
Speaker 2: That's very that that that that's that must be said

1935
01:29:46,760 --> 01:29:48,639
Speaker 2: from a guy who doesn't have those skills. Then that's

1936
01:29:48,680 --> 01:29:49,559
Speaker 2: the only justification.

1937
01:29:49,800 --> 01:29:52,200
Speaker 1: No, it's a guy who actually doesn't have real man

1938
01:29:52,360 --> 01:29:54,960
Speaker 1: skills thinks that driving is a man skill.

1939
01:29:55,080 --> 01:29:57,719
Speaker 2: That's I mean, Luke, drive a law. I once drove

1940
01:29:58,080 --> 01:30:03,400
Speaker 2: after after being at the Milwaukee Brewers game. It's the

1941
01:30:03,479 --> 01:30:05,200
Speaker 2: second the ninth inning ended. I got in the car

1942
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:09,080
Speaker 2: and drove no. Seventeen straight hours from Milwaukee back to

1943
01:30:09,200 --> 01:30:11,800
Speaker 2: my hometown in Augusta, Connecticut. Looked straight through.

1944
01:30:11,880 --> 01:30:15,280
Speaker 1: Okay. I've done road trips from California to DC with

1945
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:18,480
Speaker 1: other Marines and we saw the sun come up twice. Motherfucker,

1946
01:30:18,520 --> 01:30:19,320
Speaker 1: you couldn't even pop.

1947
01:30:19,520 --> 01:30:21,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're switching off. I drove the family to

1948
01:30:21,479 --> 01:30:25,280
Speaker 2: Florida straight through three years ago, Luke. Okay, so I'm talking.

1949
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:27,160
Speaker 1: About but yeah, you are a better driver because I don't.

1950
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,920
Speaker 1: I don't drive that much. I guarantee he's better BACHA.

1951
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:35,200
Speaker 3: All right, question four, BC or Luke. What is BC's

1952
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:35,920
Speaker 3: favorite movie?

1953
01:30:37,120 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: Well, whatever it is, it's probably good, not great, So

1954
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,400
Speaker 1: for that reason and because he talks about it incessantly,

1955
01:30:42,520 --> 01:30:45,320
Speaker 1: I'm going to say The Godfather is BC's favorite movie.

1956
01:30:46,880 --> 01:30:50,679
Speaker 2: That's correct, that's in the top three or four. But no, Luke,

1957
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:52,640
Speaker 2: I mean there's a poster on my wall of me

1958
01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:56,000
Speaker 2: substituted in for the main character that the Great Web

1959
01:30:56,080 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 2: Scream Chris Christo's Christophoros made for me. Luke, it's seventeen.

1960
01:31:00,600 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 1: Come on, guy, that's your favorite movie of all time?

1961
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah?

1962
01:31:04,560 --> 01:31:04,840
Speaker 1: It is.

1963
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:06,760
Speaker 2: And there's nothing that you know you can say that

1964
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:07,320
Speaker 2: will take me.

1965
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:09,960
Speaker 1: Off of this soapbox that is sad.

1966
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Luke, Okay, it's it's a.

1967
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:15,760
Speaker 1: It's a. It's it's a. It's a great movie. I

1968
01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:17,200
Speaker 1: have nothing bad to say about it. But like a

1969
01:31:17,320 --> 01:31:20,280
Speaker 1: best all time, it's not even top one thousand.

1970
01:31:21,479 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 2: It's my favorite movie.

1971
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:22,960
Speaker 1: What I mean?

1972
01:31:23,120 --> 01:31:25,240
Speaker 2: I could have said uncut gems, Luke, Okay, would that

1973
01:31:25,280 --> 01:31:26,200
Speaker 2: have made you even more mad?

1974
01:31:26,680 --> 01:31:30,439
Speaker 1: Yes? The Safe Brothers are you know, talented but annoying.

1975
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 2: I could have said Star Wars episode four than a

1976
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,840
Speaker 2: new hope Luke? Would that have been okay? Rogue one?

1977
01:31:34,920 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: I could have said, Oh, that would have been even worse.

1978
01:31:36,960 --> 01:31:40,760
Speaker 1: All right, guess mine, fuck face, I.

1979
01:31:40,840 --> 01:31:44,160
Speaker 2: Forgot what I guessed for Luke's Mikey, what did I guess?

1980
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,080
Speaker 3: It wasn't right? So take another guess.

1981
01:31:47,040 --> 01:31:48,800
Speaker 2: Okay, what I guess was wrong? So I guess I

1982
01:31:48,840 --> 01:31:49,959
Speaker 2: gotta go dumb and dumbo.

1983
01:31:49,760 --> 01:31:52,360
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on BC, BC or Mikey, what did

1984
01:31:52,439 --> 01:31:54,920
Speaker 1: he formally guess? Like, what did he write to you?

1985
01:31:56,320 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 3: He formally guessed? Let me just pull out that rundown.

1986
01:32:00,600 --> 01:32:02,360
Speaker 2: I'm glad that we have all these graphics.

1987
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:03,639
Speaker 1: To go with. Yeah, yeah, this is a great show.

1988
01:32:03,680 --> 01:32:09,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's no bells and whistles whatsoever, and it's dragging. Hey,

1989
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:12,439
Speaker 1: good job having that at the ready, Mikey very prepared.

1990
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:16,439
Speaker 3: Brian said that your favorite movie was.

1991
01:32:17,960 --> 01:32:22,360
Speaker 1: Strip Stripey Stripes.

1992
01:32:23,840 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 2: You reference it more than any other, so I had

1993
01:32:25,920 --> 01:32:26,519
Speaker 2: to go Stripe.

1994
01:32:27,400 --> 01:32:30,640
Speaker 1: I barely reference it at all. And in Front of

1995
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:36,000
Speaker 1: You had a conversation on Saturday with Ashley about my

1996
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,640
Speaker 1: favorite movie. Literally in fucking front of you.

1997
01:32:39,040 --> 01:32:41,680
Speaker 2: It was like, because it was some Curasawa thing and

1998
01:32:41,800 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 2: you went on this tangent about how Americans will never

1999
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:46,799
Speaker 2: be as good as Asians with a camera.

2000
01:32:47,080 --> 01:32:48,479
Speaker 1: That's not what I said. It's actually not what I

2001
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: said at all at whatsoever. But okay, uh, the answer

2002
01:32:53,040 --> 01:32:56,080
Speaker 1: is ron by a Kira Kurosawa. You fucking dope. How

2003
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:58,920
Speaker 1: did you not get that? That's insane that you didn't

2004
01:32:58,960 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: get that.

2005
01:32:59,720 --> 01:33:03,920
Speaker 2: I mean, and like Heirasawa, you know I make mad films. Louke, Okay,

2006
01:33:03,920 --> 01:33:05,280
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I don't know what you want from me.

2007
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:06,920
Speaker 2: I don't know you that well. In fact, maybe this

2008
01:33:07,120 --> 01:33:09,599
Speaker 2: is a sign, Luke, that we should go our separate ways.

2009
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 1: All right, all right, let's go next be see. But Mikey,

2010
01:33:12,520 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: let's burn through these. Let's take it forever.

2011
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:16,479
Speaker 3: And you guys are the ones taking the time. Question

2012
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:19,080
Speaker 3: question five. If your spouse was a pro fighter, who

2013
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 3: would they be? BC?

2014
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:21,360
Speaker 4: Oh?

2015
01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:26,760
Speaker 2: Uh, Luke would be Roy Nelson without question, and I

2016
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:31,000
Speaker 2: would I'd probably be like Mayhem Miller before the meltdown.

2017
01:33:34,240 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: Laire dramatic, you know not even just the certainty with

2018
01:33:39,560 --> 01:33:44,280
Speaker 1: which you gave me Roy Nelson is honestly hysterical. Even

2019
01:33:44,320 --> 01:33:47,040
Speaker 1: I have to laugh at that. Uh, I said, if

2020
01:33:47,120 --> 01:33:49,280
Speaker 1: Brian were a pro fighter because he won't shut the

2021
01:33:49,400 --> 01:33:51,479
Speaker 1: fuck up about him. He bes a beat Mecca met

2022
01:33:51,560 --> 01:33:54,080
Speaker 1: Sheriff Bob, although obviously there's no relationship.

2023
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:55,560
Speaker 2: With that's an art pick. I love that.

2024
01:33:55,800 --> 01:33:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, And I said Matt Brown because even though

2025
01:33:58,360 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 1: I no longer look like it, there was a time

2026
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,439
Speaker 1: where Matt Brown and I had overlapping looks and everyone

2027
01:34:03,560 --> 01:34:04,840
Speaker 1: used to make fun of me for it. So I

2028
01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,720
Speaker 1: was the backbones. But you know that's all all right.

2029
01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:11,719
Speaker 4: No points awarded. Question six BC, who is Luke's favorite

2030
01:34:11,720 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 4: band or artists?

2031
01:34:13,560 --> 01:34:14,360
Speaker 2: Cannibal Corps.

2032
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:17,880
Speaker 3: He had two answers on there, and it is not

2033
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:18,479
Speaker 3: on there.

2034
01:34:19,600 --> 01:34:21,040
Speaker 1: No, no, it's what the one that you.

2035
01:34:21,080 --> 01:34:23,880
Speaker 2: Guys folks know that's not your favorite band.

2036
01:34:23,960 --> 01:34:26,479
Speaker 1: No, no, dude, it's the one that you focus on

2037
01:34:26,680 --> 01:34:28,800
Speaker 1: for reasons that I can. I mean, dude, look over

2038
01:34:29,080 --> 01:34:31,960
Speaker 1: the top of my right ear. BC, how is this

2039
01:34:32,200 --> 01:34:33,240
Speaker 1: that fucking hard for you?

2040
01:34:33,400 --> 01:34:35,880
Speaker 2: I really cannot believe You're right? You're right, Luke, you

2041
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:38,240
Speaker 2: do love Pantero. I was good. I was gonna guess

2042
01:34:38,360 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 2: like Vinnie Paz next or you know something that's fine.

2043
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:43,479
Speaker 1: Honestly, I would have I would have halfway accepted that

2044
01:34:43,640 --> 01:34:46,479
Speaker 1: that would have been a decent pick, uh BC for you.

2045
01:34:46,920 --> 01:34:49,240
Speaker 1: I put so the way I had framed it was

2046
01:34:49,360 --> 01:34:52,519
Speaker 1: like best all time versus like my favorite right now.

2047
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,200
Speaker 1: So I put all Time for you Beatles, and I

2048
01:34:55,280 --> 01:34:57,599
Speaker 1: put right now currently Portugal de mand.

2049
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I love both of those choices. It was

2050
01:35:00,800 --> 01:35:03,280
Speaker 2: the Beatles for a long ass time, then it was

2051
01:35:03,400 --> 01:35:06,000
Speaker 2: Dylan and Hendrix. It's Joni Mitchell right now though, Luke

2052
01:35:06,040 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 2: and Joni Mitchell. I mean she's she's just a brilliant

2053
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 2: alien preacher. Yes, Luke, you know just I mean, I'm

2054
01:35:13,479 --> 01:35:15,599
Speaker 2: in her jazz era and I and I won't leave.

2055
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:16,960
Speaker 2: You can't get me out of it, Luke.

2056
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,200
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, I still think I should get a point.

2057
01:35:20,360 --> 01:35:24,160
Speaker 1: I think I should get a point minkey one.

2058
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:27,360
Speaker 2: I mean, like you can give him a pity point

2059
01:35:27,400 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 2: because obviously I'm running away with this thing.

2060
01:35:29,040 --> 01:35:30,680
Speaker 1: Keep going on, all right?

2061
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:34,880
Speaker 3: Question seven BC? Who would play Luke in a movie?

2062
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 1: Who? I mean?

2063
01:35:36,880 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 2: You you?

2064
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:39,880
Speaker 1: Before you answer this, let me say, let me say something,

2065
01:35:39,960 --> 01:35:43,320
Speaker 1: Let me say something. BC. Remember they're gonna make me

2066
01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:46,320
Speaker 1: look better than I am. You don't have to go

2067
01:35:46,479 --> 01:35:51,759
Speaker 1: with Danny DeVito or or Jonah Hill. You can be nice.

2068
01:35:52,360 --> 01:35:54,320
Speaker 2: I can be nice. I think I nailed it here,

2069
01:35:54,520 --> 01:35:57,680
Speaker 2: all right, Brendan Fraser, I.

2070
01:35:57,680 --> 01:35:59,720
Speaker 1: Don't hate that pick. It's not right, but I don't

2071
01:35:59,720 --> 01:35:59,960
Speaker 1: hate that.

2072
01:36:00,439 --> 01:36:02,760
Speaker 2: Like he's not like actually he's not like like he

2073
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:05,560
Speaker 2: became like you know, for a short period he was

2074
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 2: like a listic string.

2075
01:36:07,760 --> 01:36:09,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't hate that, you know what. I'll take

2076
01:36:09,720 --> 01:36:11,719
Speaker 1: that pick because there was a time I remember rasion.

2077
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:13,720
Speaker 1: I remember when Brendan Fraser was a bit of an

2078
01:36:13,800 --> 01:36:16,080
Speaker 1: it guy in Hollywood. I remember he had his moment.

2079
01:36:16,320 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: It was fleeting, but he had his moment. I'll take

2080
01:36:18,400 --> 01:36:20,240
Speaker 1: that pic. That's not so bad. That's not the answer

2081
01:36:20,240 --> 01:36:21,200
Speaker 1: I wrote for myself. Though.

2082
01:36:21,280 --> 01:36:23,559
Speaker 2: You kind of hated him, but you respected his game.

2083
01:36:23,600 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 2: I think that's what how people look at you, Luke.

2084
01:36:25,320 --> 01:36:28,879
Speaker 3: You know, all right, So Luke wrote Arnold for himself,

2085
01:36:28,920 --> 01:36:30,000
Speaker 3: So that would be wrong.

2086
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,280
Speaker 1: Dude, I had to write Schwarzenegger for myself. I'm not

2087
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:34,680
Speaker 1: saying it's in any way reflective of reality. In fact,

2088
01:36:34,720 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 1: it's just nothing but wishful thinking. But that's the way.

2089
01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 2: Would you asked me who I thought Luke would pick,

2090
01:36:39,600 --> 01:36:42,720
Speaker 2: and I wrote down that he would pick Arnold for himself, yes,

2091
01:36:43,560 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 2: and that who would he pick for me?

2092
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:51,439
Speaker 1: Well, no, all right, I picked yeah, for you, I

2093
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: picked Danny McBride, the guy who plays Kenny Powers. That's

2094
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:55,599
Speaker 1: who I picked.

2095
01:36:57,360 --> 01:36:58,879
Speaker 2: Mikey. Who did I pick for myself?

2096
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 3: Right, sa Freddie?

2097
01:37:01,720 --> 01:37:09,560
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, yes, yes, I mean does anything tell you

2098
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:12,320
Speaker 1: how out of his mind? BC is? Then for me

2099
01:37:12,479 --> 01:37:15,840
Speaker 1: he picks Roy Nelson and for himself a like a

2100
01:37:16,160 --> 01:37:17,760
Speaker 1: viciously angry porn star.

2101
01:37:17,960 --> 01:37:20,440
Speaker 2: I mean, Luke, he won't have a lot of opportunities

2102
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,800
Speaker 2: to use his greatest acting tool, you know, if you will,

2103
01:37:23,920 --> 01:37:26,960
Speaker 2: but uh, you know, I didn't give him as many opportunities.

2104
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think that'd be a great fix. Who

2105
01:37:29,800 --> 01:37:32,080
Speaker 2: did I say that Luke would say would play me?

2106
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:34,840
Speaker 2: I thought I'd be getting points for this part.

2107
01:37:35,920 --> 01:37:38,400
Speaker 4: No, no, no, that's how it crossed corrects. That's how

2108
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:41,519
Speaker 4: it crossed checks to get the point. All right, So

2109
01:37:41,720 --> 01:37:44,559
Speaker 4: much number eight Luke is BC.

2110
01:37:44,479 --> 01:37:47,400
Speaker 3: Is leading three to one. What is your spouse's favorite

2111
01:37:47,479 --> 01:37:49,920
Speaker 3: junk food? So what is your co host favorite chunk food?

2112
01:37:52,000 --> 01:37:54,519
Speaker 1: I said that your favorite junk food would be gas

2113
01:37:54,560 --> 01:37:57,320
Speaker 1: station hot dogs. If that's wrong, then fuck your life.

2114
01:37:58,520 --> 01:38:04,160
Speaker 2: Nailed it. Yes, my favorite snack food is pork hot dogs,

2115
01:38:04,680 --> 01:38:07,439
Speaker 2: beef hot dogs. Whatever you got for me, Luke yours,

2116
01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:09,080
Speaker 2: I put French fries.

2117
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:13,680
Speaker 1: I mean I do. Who doesn't love French fries? But no,

2118
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:17,240
Speaker 1: that's not my favorite. My favorite would be ready for this,

2119
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,560
Speaker 1: and you're gonna laugh at me. Everyone laughs at this. Twizzlers.

2120
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:25,000
Speaker 1: I love Twizzlers. Oh okay, okay, Twizzlers. My wife if

2121
01:38:25,040 --> 01:38:27,360
Speaker 1: I go to the movies, If I go to the movies,

2122
01:38:27,439 --> 01:38:29,720
Speaker 1: my wife gets the popcorn, and then my go to

2123
01:38:29,960 --> 01:38:32,240

2124
01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:32,840
Speaker 1: That's my go to.

2125
01:38:33,080 --> 01:38:35,680
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. My wife and father love Twizzlers as

2126
01:38:35,720 --> 01:38:37,840
Speaker 2: well on that level, which is weird because you look

2127
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:42,519
Speaker 2: like my father and you are my editorial life mate.

2128
01:38:43,120 --> 01:38:45,000
Speaker 1: That sounds like a good combination in your life. That

2129
01:38:45,120 --> 01:38:48,000
Speaker 1: is who I am. You can call me Dad. It's okay,

2130
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 1: I'll let you all right.

2131
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 2: Question number nine, Poppy Gringo, is that you?

2132
01:38:57,320 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: I mean, that is kind of my life.

2133
01:38:59,040 --> 01:39:00,479
Speaker 2: I have no idea how RD at work?

2134
01:39:00,600 --> 01:39:01,000
Speaker 1: Keep going?

2135
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:05,280
Speaker 3: Question number nine BC, who is Luke's celebrity crush?

2136
01:39:06,520 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 1: This is so fucking easy? Yes, I mean, come on,

2138
01:39:14,479 --> 01:39:16,639
Speaker 1: that one? Now? I struggled on this one for you, BC,

2139
01:39:16,800 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: because your tasting women is weird.

2140
01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 3: No, this is extremely easy. If you know BC, what

2141
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:22,760

2142
01:39:22,920 --> 01:39:24,640

2143
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,519
Speaker 1: feel I feel like you're gonna love my pick. I

2144
01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 1: think if my pick is really good, tell him mikey.

2145
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:34,519
Speaker 3: Oh you're not gonna say it.

2146
01:39:35,479 --> 01:39:37,280
Speaker 1: No, you should say it. I want to see his face.

2147
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:42,479
Speaker 1: Luke's pick was can you keep the list in front

2148
01:39:42,479 --> 01:39:43,439

2151
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:50,000
Speaker 2: Dude.

2152
01:39:50,520 --> 01:39:54,760
Speaker 1: BC loves nothing more than women who look like you

01:39:54,880 --> 01:39:58,799
Speaker 1: know they're serving you. Sloppy Joe's on a on a Thursday.

Speaker 1: I mean, it's unbel Okay, who is your fucking celebrity crush?

2155
01:40:03,680 --> 01:40:05,960
Speaker 2: I don't know the real answer is Sean Johnson. I

2156
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:07,840
Speaker 2: did tell you that, but I put down as the

2157
01:40:07,880 --> 01:40:10,880
Speaker 2: answer you'll want a champion. I wanted to give you right.

2158
01:40:11,640 --> 01:40:13,040
Speaker 1: If you had told me it was a fighter, I

2159
01:40:13,080 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 1: could have gotten it. I could have gotten it, all right,

2160
01:40:15,520 --> 01:40:16,519
Speaker 1: all right, all right?

2161
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:20,280
Speaker 3: Question number ten, BC, what is Luke's dream job?

2162
01:40:23,439 --> 01:40:27,599
Speaker 2: Uh? Desk analyst at the fights?

2163
01:40:28,080 --> 01:40:31,320
Speaker 1: Oh god, I would accept you know what? Hold on Mikey,

2164
01:40:31,479 --> 01:40:33,960
Speaker 1: that's not what I wrote you, but I would accept

2165
01:40:34,000 --> 01:40:38,000
Speaker 1: that because I've had these conversations with BC. So that's

2166
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:41,240
Speaker 1: not technically what I wrote, but I think we should

2167
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,680
Speaker 1: get should get credit for it because I think he's right.

2168
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:45,400
Speaker 3: All right, point awarded to BC.

2169
01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 2: What did he write?

2170
01:40:48,800 --> 01:40:51,800
Speaker 4: He wrote, tell him Mikey, you both already have your

2171
01:40:51,880 --> 01:40:54,120
Speaker 4: dream you both already have your dream jobs.

2172
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,479
Speaker 1: That's true. I did write that. Wow, Am I wrong? BC?

2173
01:40:59,320 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 2: Well, you're not because I wrote down for my dream job,

2175
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:09,160

2176
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:11,640
Speaker 2: episodes in. Yeah, Luke, this is all right.

2177
01:41:11,840 --> 01:41:13,679
Speaker 1: If BC gets a point, I should get a point.

2178
01:41:13,960 --> 01:41:17,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. You should know. I'm not trying to be emotional

2179
01:41:17,360 --> 01:41:19,160
Speaker 2: for the sake of it, but you know this gets

2180
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 2: me out of bed very happy every morning, Luke, that

2181
01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:21,720
Speaker 2: we do this show.

2182
01:41:21,760 --> 01:41:22,000
Speaker 3: Okay?

2183
01:41:22,120 --> 01:41:23,720
Speaker 1: Agreed? Agreed? All right?

2184
01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:25,840
Speaker 3: It is five to three in favor of BC.

2185
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:30,560
Speaker 4: Heading into question eleven, which celebrity couple are you most like?

2186
01:41:30,920 --> 01:41:31,160
Speaker 3: Luke?

2187
01:41:32,760 --> 01:41:34,719
Speaker 1: I wrote, Johnny Depp and Amber Heard.

2188
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:41,559
Speaker 2: I wrote down, I predicted what you would say for us,

2189
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:43,760
Speaker 2: and my prediction was that you would say we are

2190
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:45,120
Speaker 2: machine gun Kelly.

2191
01:41:44,960 --> 01:41:45,679
Speaker 3: And Meghan five.

2192
01:41:46,080 --> 01:41:48,680
Speaker 1: Oh that is such a good choice, but no, it's

2193
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:52,120
Speaker 1: not the direction I went. What was the whate was

2194
01:41:52,160 --> 01:41:57,320
Speaker 1: your honest answer? My answer was Rocky and Tsha Rocky

2195
01:41:57,400 --> 01:42:00,680
Speaker 1: and Tshah? Who fuck is that?

2196
01:42:02,280 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 2: Uh UFC fighters?

2197
01:42:06,160 --> 01:42:07,920
Speaker 1: You don't know anything about their lives? What kind of

2198
01:42:07,920 --> 01:42:08,760
Speaker 1: a fucking answer is that?

2199
01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,000
Speaker 2: I follow them on Instagram? Luke, what do you want

2200
01:42:11,040 --> 01:42:11,240
Speaker 2: from me?

2201
01:42:11,760 --> 01:42:13,200
Speaker 1: All right? Well, that one's a wash.

2202
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:16,960
Speaker 3: Next, all right, Question twelve, Name the best gift they

2203
01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:17,680
Speaker 3: ever gave you?

2204
01:42:17,840 --> 01:42:21,920
Speaker 1: Luke? So am I answering the one I gave to

2205
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:23,479
Speaker 1: BC or what he gave to me?

2206
01:42:24,280 --> 01:42:26,320
Speaker 3: The best gift that he gave to you, and we'll

2207
01:42:26,360 --> 01:42:27,920
Speaker 3: cross check it with what he wrote down.

2208
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:31,519
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is very easy. BC has literally never

2209
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: gotten me a gift, So the answer is nothing.

2210
01:42:36,600 --> 01:42:38,880
Speaker 2: Mikey, Where did I write down for Luke's prediction of

2211
01:42:39,000 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 2: what I gave him?

2212
01:42:40,360 --> 01:42:42,919
Speaker 3: That is a point. For BC, he said.

2213
01:42:44,840 --> 01:42:49,040
Speaker 2: Yes, And then for mine, I did write down that

2214
01:42:49,160 --> 01:42:52,519
Speaker 2: Luke would say that the only thing I've given him

2215
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 2: is or not the only thing he's ever given me

2216
01:42:54,520 --> 01:42:56,640
Speaker 2: was an audience. But I didn't write that down. My

2217
01:42:56,800 --> 01:42:59,960
Speaker 2: greatest gift that Luke's ever given me was the time

2218
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:02,559
Speaker 2: I'm he bought fifty nine dollars worth of taco bell

2219
01:43:02,720 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 2: in that Jersey City hotel room prime Pandemic when he

2220
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 2: was like, oh, you're hungry, you want something?

2221
01:43:07,680 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 1: Did you eat? What do you want?

2222
01:43:08,640 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 2: And then here's like like the most amount of taco

2223
01:43:11,920 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 2: bell of all time. It was like, you know, yeah,

2224
01:43:15,600 --> 01:43:17,880
Speaker 2: that was that was a good night with I nailed it,

2225
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:18,960
Speaker 2: did I know?

2226
01:43:19,520 --> 01:43:20,160
Speaker 1: Yeah? You did?

2227
01:43:20,240 --> 01:43:21,760
Speaker 2: That was a great gift. That was, you know, two

2228
01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,200
Speaker 2: friends just bonding over just you know, fast food.

2229
01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,080
Speaker 1: It was great. All right.

2230
01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:31,679
Speaker 3: The last question, we'll start with you BC, who said

2231
01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:32,519
Speaker 3: I love you first?

2232
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:36,280
Speaker 1: This is so fucking easy, And don't you dare lie

2233
01:43:36,360 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 1: about it? Motherfucker. Don't you dare lie about it?

2234
01:43:40,439 --> 01:43:41,920
Speaker 2: What did I right? None of us or no, I

2235
01:43:42,000 --> 01:43:43,280
Speaker 2: said the audience.

2236
01:43:43,800 --> 01:43:46,160
Speaker 1: Oh you're so wrong, dude. I've told you I loved

2237
01:43:46,200 --> 01:43:49,320
Speaker 1: you multiple times. I never meant it. But that's not

2238
01:43:49,560 --> 01:43:51,840
Speaker 1: what I that's not that has no bearing on whether

2239
01:43:51,880 --> 01:43:53,240
Speaker 1: I've said it before the.

2240
01:43:53,280 --> 01:43:55,679
Speaker 2: Answer is Luke, Yeah, yeah, yeah.

2241
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:58,400
Speaker 1: All right. So what's the final score there with this

2242
01:43:58,640 --> 01:44:01,599
Speaker 1: with this sexless, entertainmentless game.

2243
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:03,320
Speaker 3: Brian Campbell seven.

2244
01:44:03,880 --> 01:44:08,320
Speaker 1: Luke Thomas five, Oh, it's like the Canelo fight BC.

2245
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 1: You barely got away with.

2246
01:44:09,880 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 3: One congratch on three hundred episodes.

2247
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:18,679
Speaker 2: Guys, uh looks three hundred episodes, which means nothing like probably,

2248
01:44:18,840 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 2: I know.

2249
01:44:19,200 --> 01:44:20,960
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Like, I remember we used to

2250
01:44:21,000 --> 01:44:24,439
Speaker 1: grill Bjorn Rebney because we came up on Beltore one

2251
01:44:24,520 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 1: hundred and we were all all the media was like, Okay,

2252
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: what you gotta do for Beltore one hundred. He was

2253
01:44:28,240 --> 01:44:30,240
Speaker 1: like nothing, I'm just another regular show and we're like,

2254
01:44:30,320 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 1: see this guy lacks the you know, the pizazz the

2255
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 1: fight promoter needs. Now I look back and I'm like, dude,

2256
01:44:35,200 --> 01:44:36,320
Speaker 1: you know, I don't really give a fuck that this

2257
01:44:36,439 --> 01:44:37,200
Speaker 1: is three hundred or not.

2258
01:44:37,320 --> 01:44:39,080
Speaker 2: To be honest with you, well, I mean it's probably

2259
01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:40,880
Speaker 2: got the same street value in the end of the

2260
01:44:40,960 --> 01:44:43,280
Speaker 2: awards that we won, even though I give those more

2261
01:44:43,400 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 2: values because that was the fans getting out and voting

2262
01:44:46,680 --> 01:44:49,080
Speaker 2: for us. But Luke, as we look back on three hundred,

2263
01:44:49,160 --> 01:44:53,000
Speaker 2: which means we started in July twenty nineteen, so we're

2264
01:44:53,040 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 2: coming up on three years this summer. Wow, Luke, we're here.

2267
01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:06,080
Speaker 2: moment for me, Luke, the live show ending while we
