1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: I'm Royal Oaks. Next time, on Too Many Lawyers, we

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: take on a couple of villains to sort out whether

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: bad stuff is also illegal stuff. George Santos want a

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: seat in Congress by lying to voters, But is that

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:12,080
Speaker 1: a crime?

6
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 2: And Kanye West made it clear he hates Jews.

7
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: In England, he'd go to jail for that. Here in America,

8
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: did he commit a hate crime? Listen to Too Many

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 1: Lawyers on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: get your podcasts.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 2: The John Annick and Kenny Florian podcasts. Guy, John Annick,

12
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 2: Kenny Florian, do you want a podcast? Great? Say have

13
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 2: some audio on your website that nobody goes to. He

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,520
Speaker 2: you're your hosts, John Annick and Kenny Florian.

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,919
Speaker 3: Every time I hear gangsters in the show. Oh, I

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,879
Speaker 3: just think there's so many better adjectives are probably more

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 3: appropriate adjectives to describe at least one of the hosts

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 3: of this fine program. Oh, it's going to be back

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: in the great state of flo Or to Monday, March second,

20
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: twenty twenty, episode two thirty nine of the Anakin Florian

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: podcast Fresh Off a Plane with three Children. Oh, this

22
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 3: morning I'm not doing like the cross country LA to

23
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 3: South Carolina tip that you're doing that might not even

24
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 3: be direct at times. So much respect to to team

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 3: Florian out there flying coast to coast, but uh, just

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 3: nothing easy about the three kids on a plane. I tweeted,

27
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 3: I think I'd rather snakes on a plane than have

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 3: three kids on a plane and have the.

29
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: Three kids be by Dude, I can't even imagine. Uh,

30
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 4: that's that's that's gotta be tough. That's gotta be tough.

31
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 3: Man, not easy. So thankfully Hunter, my son, who's a

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 3: year and a half, was quite good man. You know, Yeah,

33
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 3: tough kid. I mean, if he gets scared, he's upset,

34
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: but he's you know, pretty pretty high pain threshold and

35
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: I powered through it. So uh a lot to get

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 3: to today. It's a pay per view week, so much

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 3: of the next hour will be focused on UFC two

38
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: forty eight out of Sonya versus Romero, and in terms

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: of the way the Middleway Champion pronounces his name, We're

40
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: gonna sit down with him on Thursday and we're gonna

41
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 3: get a final answer once and for all. We have

42
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: his audio file for you today. He's been at Asanya

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 3: obviously as a champion in the UFC. Now I'm hearing

44
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: him except awards and says aya, So I'm freaking out

45
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 3: here on a Monday of pay per view week. A

46
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 3: little insight into my brain right now, I mean, ken Flow,

47
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: what are we doing here with this?

48
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 4: And I remember at one point he was like, uh,

49
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 4: you pronounce it like a dis on you, like a

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 4: dis on you.

51
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: Uh, And now it's all over the place.

52
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, because sometimes it's like, well, I'm

53
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 4: gonna say it how you know my countrymen say it,

54
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 4: or I'm gonna say it how you know the native

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: speakers would say it what my family name is in

56
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 4: that country, which are two very different things, you know.

57
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: So uh, yeah, Florian's a pretty easy one, right if

58
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 3: he could say your name to tape Kenny Florian Florian.

59
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then but in Peru would be like Flodian.

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 4: So I mean, how are you gonna do so?

61
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 3: So the doctor gus, your father didn't want you to

62
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: be Floatian. In the USA, Yah's Florian. I guess American

63
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: people say to me like, oh, is it a nique.

64
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, it's fine, right, Like a lot of

65
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 3: people just don't care and I think maybe out of

66
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 3: Sonia falls into that group. We'll find out though, but yes,

67
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: I do believe where I've heard it most recently, he's

68
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 3: emphasizing that second syllable death Sonya, and not out of

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 3: Sonya the third one. So rest assured, we try very

70
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: hard to get it right. But a quick thought on

71
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 3: the flyweight title fight before we get to Ray Longo,

72
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 3: who will obviously join in on the discussion. So Davison

73
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: Figuretto misses weight by two and a half pounds. If

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: you follow Kenflow on Twitter, as many of you do,

75
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: he can't see any excuse for the weight miss but

76
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: the fight itself went to Figuretto TKO of Joseph Benavitez

77
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: in round two. Figuretto not title eligible for that vacant

78
00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 3: belt because he missed the championship weight. So we are

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: where we were last Monday. The flyweight title in the

80
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 3: UFC is still vacant.

81
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: I've talked about this before, and you know, when a

82
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: guy doesn't make a weight and he's a pound and

83
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 4: a half or two pounds or whatever it is, you think, well,

84
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 4: that's just you know, a pound away. What's the big deal.

85
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: People don't cut that weight because it's not just a pound.

86
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 4: It feels like it's thirty pounds away after you've done

87
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 4: a big cut, and when you make that extra pound

88
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 4: two pound cut, it does a number on your body.

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: It does a number on your brain, physically, spiritually. It

90
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: can break a lot of guys. That's why they don't

91
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: make the weight. The fact that he didn't make that

92
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 4: weight and kind of went in there may have saved

93
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:33,839
Speaker 4: him a little bit as far as his ability to

94
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 4: perform on fight night. That is my big problem with this.

95
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 4: This is a guy who is a tough fighter. He's

96
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 4: already huge for the weight class. He looked so much

97
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 4: bigger than Benavitez, and you know, you gotta wonder if

98
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 4: he did make that weight, how would that have affected

99
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 4: his performance on fight night. And you know, again, granted,

100
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 4: you know we've all been around Joe Benavitez. We love

101
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: the guy, and we're a little bit biased, but this

102
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 4: has nothing to do with whether he's fighting him or

103
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: anything else. When you have a championship fight, you have

104
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 4: to make that weight. There's a reason why you don't

105
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 4: get that extra pound allowance. Championship weight is a whole

106
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 4: different ballgame.

107
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 3: You gotta hit it otherwise it's a huge advantage, and

108
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 3: going down from one twenty seven and a half to

109
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 3: one twenty five, to your point, very well could have

110
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 3: broken Figuretto spiritually or physically to an extent that would

111
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: have affected him on fight night. I certainly credit the

112
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 3: teams when they stop their fighters from cutting weight when

113
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: they're physically challenged to such a degree that their health

114
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 3: is in jeopardy. So I defend the decision, even with

115
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: championship stakes for the team. But obviously it adds a

116
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 3: wrinkle to this whole fight that we would not like

117
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 3: to be dealing with here on a Monday. But let

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: us bring on the great Raylano into the conversation. Let's

119
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 3: get to the Ray Long Minute.

120
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 2: Now, time for the Ray Long Minute.

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to punch a hole in the.

122
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:03,120
Speaker 2: Ray Long Minute during Rayne, John Nik and Kenny Florian podcast.

123
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 3: Ray always good to have you, my man, and we

124
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,039
Speaker 3: don't take your appearances lightly. You've been with Ken Flow

125
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: when he was in the trenches through some of these

126
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: these terrible treacherous weight cuts. You've documented some of those

127
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 3: interactions that Ken Flow barely remembers. What were your thoughts

128
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 3: when you heard the news on Friday that Davis and

129
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 3: Figuretto not not only misweight for the championship fights, but fight,

130
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 3: I should say, but by a full two and a

131
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 3: hook there.

132
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll tell you what I mean. I agree with

133
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 5: Kenny one hundred and twenty percent what he was just saying.

134
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's a big advantage. You know, these

135
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 5: guys aren't three hundred pounds. Yeah, one hundred and twenty five.

136
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 5: So that's that's three pounds is way harder to do

137
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 5: than if you're one hundred and seventy pounds. You know

138
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 5: what I mean, It's proportionally harder. Uh, And I agree

139
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 5: also with you with the team. Uh, you know, making

140
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 5: a decision, look to help health and safety has.

141
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: To come first.

142
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,559
Speaker 5: But with that, you can't be gloating about the vicar either.

143
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 5: You can say after the victory, look, I'm happy he's healthy,

144
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 5: he won the fight, but that's it. Don't walk around

145
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 5: saying you're the champion, because you're really not the champion,

146
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 5: and you're the champion of one twenty eight if that's

147
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 5: what you want to be, which right a wait list,

148
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 5: you know what I mean. If you want to say

149
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 5: you're the champion, say I'm the one twenty eight pounds champion.

150
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 4: I like, yeah, and for better and for Benavidez, that

151
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,760
Speaker 4: would go a step further. You know, I agree with you,

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 4: John on that whole thing about the safety of the fighter.

153
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 4: But if you ask Joe Joe Benavidez if he would

154
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 4: like to not cut those extra two and a half pounds,

155
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: I'm sure he would happily take that. He suffered down

156
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 4: to make one hundred and twenty five pounds and his

157
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 4: opponent didn't, no doubt, And that's the problem. It's like this,

158
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: one guy who did it was not fun, made it

159
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: one twenty five.

160
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 3: The other guy did not.

161
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: And yeah, it's about safety, but one guy did it,

162
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: the other guy didn't, and I'm sure Joe didn't.

163
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: It wasn't a walk in the park for the guy.

164
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 5: Yeah it maybe maybe next fight, Benavidez gets to come

165
00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 5: in at one twenty eight and the other guy has

166
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 5: to come in at one and again. And I agree

167
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: with Chenny. I don't think you're gonna find a nicer

168
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 5: guy in the sports than Joe Benavidez and his wife.

169
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: You know, they're both just sweethearts. I think everybody loves

170
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 5: them and and that you know that that doesn't take

171
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 5: I'm not taking away anything from the guy's performance, but

172
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 5: the way thing was a was a big issue. And

173
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 5: and it's funny, man, I had a girl, a trained

174
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: who's Brazilian said during that interview that figure row with

175
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 5: the manager of Validge was wasn't even saying what he

176
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: was saying. He was saying what he wanted to say

177
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 5: to do damage control. She said, had nothing to do

178
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 5: with what the other guy was saying. You you could

179
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: even see they got into a confrontation where I think

180
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 5: I think Villeged told him to shut up or you know,

181
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 5: let him let him talk, something like that. But uh yeah,

182
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 5: I think the whole thing, you know, it just taints

183
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 5: a division that really needed a clear winner and with

184
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,319
Speaker 5: no no glitches, and we didn't get it. Now we're

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 5: we're back in limbo again.

186
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,079
Speaker 3: Kenny fighters are so discouraged in this situation from stepping

187
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 3: aside and not fighting right, like for Joe to be like, look,

188
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm not going to fight the guy right it's a

189
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 3: headlining fight. And for Benevitez, obviously he would have been

190
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 3: the UFC flyweight champion had he won that fight. But

191
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 3: there are promotions that are out there that if you

192
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 3: don't make weight, you don't fight, And I'm not sure

193
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 3: I see any solution, right, because you shouldn't put Benavitez

194
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 3: in a position to be roundly criticized by the fan base,

195
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: you know, and pressured by the promotion to fight, right,

196
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 3: so you knew Joe was going to fight regardless given

197
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: what was on the line. There are a lot of

198
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: layers to this, but Ray, I mean, do you think

199
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: that that is a reasonable scenario or solution that if

200
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 3: you don't make weight you can't compete? Uh? You know that.

201
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 5: I mean, look, obviously there's a lot, Like you said,

202
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 5: there's a lot of layers to it, and making money

203
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 5: is one of them. I mean, that would have just

204
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 5: killed That would have killed that whole event. You know,

205
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 5: there's a possibility to maybe always pay a standby to

206
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 5: be ready to go, you know, just have insurance, pay

207
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 5: a guy some money to make sure that he's ready

208
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 5: to go. But then I don't even think that's right

209
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 5: because then you can't really gain plan for that guy.

210
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: But you know, it's still a fight. Yeah, but you

211
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: know what I mean. But I think having a guy ready,

212
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 5: like I'm sure they'll do what Abasania and Romero. Uh,

213
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 5: you know, I just don't think they put a lot

214
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 5: of a lot behind the one twenty five pounds division

215
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 5: or I think they did that, you.

216
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: Know, right, so quickly and Kenny, you can lead on

217
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 3: this and Ray, I want to get your thoughts just

218
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 3: quickly on the fight itself. Kenny, all due respect, you

219
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: did not seem very convicted picking your friend Joseph Benavitez

220
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 3: on the show last week. You didn't like the matchup

221
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 3: for him, which you said off the top. So I

222
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 3: don't know if this fight played out maybe the way

223
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 3: you expected it to. But Figaro Figarota to me weight

224
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 3: miss or otherwise. Uh, he's a real problem and has

225
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 3: a lot of a lot of intriguing skills in his arsenal.

226
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 3: I mean he he is. He's huge for the weight class.

227
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 4: My big concern with Joe is offensively, he charges straight

228
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: into a guy. He never moves his head, and he

229
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 4: gets away with a lot of those entries because he

230
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: is very fast.

231
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 3: He is very quick.

232
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 4: He throws a lot of different combinations. But you can't

233
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,200
Speaker 4: charge headfirst into into a person's center line and expect

234
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 4: to win every single exchange. You just can't and a

235
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 4: guy who is as dangerous and you know, Frankly gives

236
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 4: zero fox when he goes out there and fights Davison.

237
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 3: Figuedo does not care. He wants to get into a brawl.

238
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 4: He knows he's gonna hit harder than pretty much ninety

239
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: nine percent of the guys in that division, and he'll

240
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: happily let Joe charge in. And for the majority of

241
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: those exchanges, Joe Benevidez, his speed was the difference. But

242
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: when Figaredo was tagging him, almost every single time he landed,

243
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: he was hurting Joe. And that was my big concern

244
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: going forward, was that this is a guy in Figaredo

245
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 4: who it just hits with so much anger and power

246
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 4: and just was was just hurting Joe in a lot

247
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 4: of those exchanges. And the big problem is also, you know,

248
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 4: opposite those opposite stance fighters, and because Joe really wasn't

249
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 4: moving his head, they kept colliding heads. There was two

250
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 4: head collisions one after another, and it was it was

251
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 4: clearly uh Benevetez who got the worst of those, and

252
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 4: then it allowed Figaredo to really land that big shot

253
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 4: and then the hammer the hammer fist after was brutal

254
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 4: as well.

255
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, Ray that headbutt that opened the cut. You know,

256
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: Joe was the guy leading with his head obviously for

257
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 3: that seventh the blow. What are your thoughts on the fight?

258
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 5: No, I think Kenny's ready. Look I look for first off,

259
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 5: while it lasted, I thought it was a great fight.

260
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 5: Even the scrambles on the floor getting out of the arboard,

261
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 5: it was a lot of you know, back and forth.

262
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 5: I thought ben Vitez was doing good. To me, it

263
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 5: looked like a guy that was even though he was

264
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 5: leaving with his head, which obviously became a downfall because

265
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 5: I do think the headbutt distracted him enough that he

266
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:04,360
Speaker 5: just wasn't you know, he wasn't focused when that right

267
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 5: hand came, So it wasn't like he got he he

268
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 5: didn't pay for coming in with his head at that time.

269
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 5: He just he paid for it with the headbutt, and

270
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 5: then I think it distracted him enough to where he

271
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 5: just you know, you could see that right hand he

272
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 5: didn't move his head at all and he just got

273
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 5: sat on his ass. But uh, I thought I thought

274
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: it looked like Benavetez was like, this is this is

275
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 5: my last shot, and he was going for it. I

276
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 5: think that's what we saw the guy that was eat

277
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 5: it like again, he didn't give any folks, and he

278
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 5: was going forward. Yeah, he was leaning in with his head,

279
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 5: which I think, you know was a big part of

280
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 5: why he lost because of that headbutt. But uh, man,

281
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 5: it was exciting and I loved watching the guy know

282
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,559
Speaker 5: that this is his last opportunity against a really bigger,

283
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 5: tough guy and he was going for it. Man, So

284
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 5: hats off to Benavetez. Man really really was uh. I

285
00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 5: loved watching that fight.

286
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 4: What made me even more concerned was the fact that,

287
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 4: you know, the Brazilian fighter Davison Figaredo, he tends to

288
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 4: fight like he doesn't have a care in the world.

289
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: He's absolutely fearless when he fights. He still kept that

290
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 4: with him despite not making weight. He just like it

291
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 4: didn't even happen. Whereas all the pressure was on Benavitez.

292
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,079
Speaker 4: He was the only guy who could win that belt.

293
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,679
Speaker 4: The only thing that was going to happen was he

294
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 4: was going to lose it. So essentially it was almost

295
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 4: like sitting there for the taking, and you could see

296
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: that pressure in Joe. There was a lot of nervousness

297
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 4: despite all the experience walking into that cage. I just

298
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 4: got that much more nervous for Joe. It just seemed

299
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: like he was carrying the weight of the world on

300
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 4: his shoulders.

301
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 3: Man. And I think he would tell you as much

302
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 3: if you saw him last June. I know it was

303
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: a long time agoing against Juicy a Foriga though. He

304
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 3: didn't even want to eat after the way in because

305
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 3: he was just so angry and hungry for a win.

306
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 3: And when you saw he look like an assassin in there,

307
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 3: just at the beginning of that fight. He didn't have

308
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: that look in his eyes for one reason or another.

309
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: And maybe it is nerves, but Kenny, I think you

310
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 3: hit on every viable and angle of that fight. Ray

311
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 3: real quick, because I want to get to a few

312
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 3: other things with you today. Did you see the fight

313
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 3: between Magomed and Goliath and Ewan Kutelba, the controversial light

314
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 3: heavyweight fight that ended in thirty eight seconds there?

315
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, of course I did. Yeah, And I really,

316
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 5: uh man, that's a you know again, that's a time.

317
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just a horrible call. But you know,

318
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 5: I think that too. I like McDonald, he's a nice guy.

319
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 5: But I think to his defense, in his head, he

320
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: really thought he was doing the right thing. He thought

321
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 5: the guy was heard and he was trying to save him.

322
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 5: But man, I just I didn't see it. Man I

323
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 5: knew he was playing possum, and even if he wasn't,

324
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 5: that fight shouldn't have been stopped.

325
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just the way it is, Kenny. I

326
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 3: talked to a mixed martial arts referee that does major

327
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 3: UFC shows this morning, because anytime something controversial like this happens,

328
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 3: I'm trying to gather information as a play by play

329
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 3: voice for the UFC. Right, I want to be as

330
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 3: informed as possible, even if I forget half of this

331
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 3: shit when it shows up what I've actually sitting with

332
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: the goddamn table. But this referee said to me, and

333
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: he wasn't necessarily trying to defend Kevin McDonald, sure, but

334
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 3: he did say that maybe this isn't the best sport

335
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 3: in which to play possum. You know, kute Laba was

336
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: a plus two twenty five underdog. Maybe he was trying

337
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 3: to inject this variable into the fight against ank Eliab.

338
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 3: I think the reason that possum angle has juice is

339
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 3: because Bisping sort of led that narrative and led that

340
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 3: charge on broadcast. You know, kute Laba certainly said that's

341
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 3: what he was doing. It appeared to me largely at

342
00:16:29,560 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: times that that's what he was doing. Kenny, But what

343
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 3: do you think about playing possum in in two hundred

344
00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: and five pounds puts alone?

345
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 4: Probably not the best of ideas. Again, these are little gloves.

346
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 4: So when someone gets clipped and you see their head

347
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 4: kind of bob or maybe their legs wobble a little bit,

348
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 4: you know the referee is gonna pay extra special attention there.

349
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: And I feel like he did that a few times

350
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 4: in a row after a strike from uncliev so I

351
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: think it made it look bad. And again, this is

352
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 4: the thing, something that's happening in the moment, and the

353
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 4: referees trying to assess what the damage is, what's going on,

354
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: and maybe his angle isn't always the best one right

355
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 4: from where he's watching the fight. So it is a

356
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 4: tricky thing. This is what makes refereeing such a difficult

357
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 4: thing in mixed martial arts. But I would say even

358
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 4: if he was hurt, and this is the unfortunate thing

359
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 4: for Kevin McDonald is you know, I think it's one

360
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 4: thing to be in the center of the octagon and

361
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:29,879
Speaker 4: be throwing. It's another thing to be up against the

362
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 4: cage and maybe being wobbled and like trying to throw

363
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 4: and you're just you don't even know where you are.

364
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 4: You could see that Unclia was still kind of in it,

365
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: and when you went back and watched the replay, it

366
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 4: was way more clear that it did look.

367
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,919
Speaker 3: Like he was playing possum. So it's unfortunate. Man.

368
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 4: You know, Kevin has been one of the more consistent

369
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 4: referees in the UFC. I mean, this is a guy

370
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 4: who's been able to fly under the raidar and when

371
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 4: you're doing that as a referee, that means you're doing

372
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 4: a tremendous job. So I can't point to another instance

373
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: where he's made a mistake in his UFC's Thus far,

374
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 4: as far as you know, I know this was a mistake.

375
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 4: It happens. It sucks because both guys were really ramping up.

376
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 4: There was this crescendo that was building in this fight. Man,

377
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,679
Speaker 4: that was so good, and both guys were throwing with

378
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 4: so much violence it was it was tough to see

379
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,680
Speaker 4: that fight end like it did.

380
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 3: Ray Kevin's a friend of mine. I think he would

381
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 3: own parts of this mistake and maybe in the future

382
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 3: show a little bit more restraint when a guy is

383
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: drunk driving, so to speak, like that three or four times,

384
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,359
Speaker 3: but a referee, to Kenny's point, or a broadcaster, like

385
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 3: every time we utter something, you know, over seven hours,

386
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: it's out there. We can't take it back, right, And

387
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 3: once he engaged, even if there was a verbal stop

388
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 3: in kute Laba, then through the Haymaker. I think if

389
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 3: you're the referee, you see that a guy's brain is misfiring.

390
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:51,840
Speaker 3: A couple times ray right, and the third time he

391
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: saw his eyes maybe go or whatever. You know, he

392
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 3: just felt like he had to be decisive. But I

393
00:18:57,080 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 3: think he'll probably learn from it and the next time around.

394
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: Don't want a late stoppage, but maybe he would be

395
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 3: a little bit more precise at that moment, you know.

396
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, at the end of the day, he got

397
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 5: faked out also, really, but I think what saves Kevin

398
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 5: McDonald is that I think his heart was in the

399
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 5: right spot. Yeah, there wasn't you know what I'm saying,

400
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 5: It wasn't. There wasn't nothing malicious, There was nothing you know,

401
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 5: fucker rio whatever you want. He really thought he was

402
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,520
Speaker 5: making the right call. He got faked out and quickly

403
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 5: I had a kid, Dennis Bezuka win a ring A

404
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 5: Combat championship two weeks ago, and he had closed the

405
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 5: guy's eye, so his right eye was closed and Dennis

406
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 5: was attacking him, and he started holding his eye like

407
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 5: you know, he was stopping. He put one hand up

408
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,119
Speaker 5: and like the rep almost a saint, like he was done.

409
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 5: And I really thought he was done sitting on the outside.

410
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 5: So my guy stopped hitting him, and the guy attacked him.

411
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 5: So this positive thing, you know, like again he tried.

412
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: He faked me out. I mean I really thought because

413
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 5: I saw his eye was and I thought he just said, man,

414
00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 5: I had enough. I just got hit with a combo

415
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 5: and I can't see. And that fight ended up going

416
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 5: the distance. But you know, another three seconds like that

417
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 5: are two seconds that re's gonna stop the fight. But

418
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 5: you know, well whatever, hey, it's it's it's a tough

419
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 5: one for Kevin because again I believe his heart was

420
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,520
Speaker 5: in the right spot. He thought he was making the

421
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 5: right cool and you know, like it was easy on

422
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 5: the outside. I just I don't know, I think even

423
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: if he wasn't you know, if if he wasn't playing possum.

424
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,199
Speaker 5: I don't know. I think that fight was stopped a

425
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 5: little early.

426
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 3: Well hopefully playing possum doesn't become a trend like calf kicks.

427
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 3: But uh, I do believe that's what he was doing.

428
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 3: But uh, all right, well we move on and uh

429
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: may second right two months from today UFC fight night

430
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: Widman versus Hermanson, or maybe it's her Manson versus Widman.

431
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 3: I don't know who gets the red corner. But uh,

432
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 3: your guy Chris is back, and that's one hundred and

433
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 3: eighty five pound fight, yes or return the middleweight ray, Yes.

434
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 5: Yes, And we gotta we gotta really get this guy

435
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 5: back on track, whatever it takes. I think his back

436
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 5: is obviously against the wall and it's gonna take a

437
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,360
Speaker 5: full commitment. And uh, I think he's got a good opponent,

438
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 5: and uh, you know it's gonna it's gonna be interesting.

439
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,080
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, when Manson's a non orthodox guy

440
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 5: who's obviously strong, and uh, it should be Uh, it

441
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:21,920
Speaker 5: should make for a great fight.

442
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 3: And Alja man Sterling is hitting the UFCP I this week,

443
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:27,560
Speaker 3: says it's gonna be a big week in terms of

444
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 3: his recovery. So we'll see how it goes for al Joe.

445
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: But I'm getting wicked, fucking impatient when it comes to

446
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 3: these bandonm weights in these fights. So hopefully we have

447
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 3: some bout agreements here in the not too distant future.

448
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:39,200
Speaker 3: My man.

449
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would have thought that would already have been

450
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 5: done based even on our conversation about him. Come on,

451
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:46,639
Speaker 5: we go, but I don't even know if we're close.

452
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, man, Well anything else before we let

453
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,399
Speaker 3: you fly? Are you good? Man? We appreciate the extra

461
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 5: you're dying in your head. No, I'm not dying. Trust me.

462
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 5: I would tell you.

463
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 3: It's actually right. It's actually downright embarrassing that that coming

464
00:22:23,280 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 3: up on the five year anniversary of this podcasts launch,

465
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 3: that Ray isn't consistently on video. I gotta do like

466
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 3: a tattoo bet or something that maybe if by the

467
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 3: end of the year raised now, maybe if by May

468
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 3: second long goes not on video, I have to get

469
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 3: some long ago inspired tattoo. Not committing to that tattoo,

470
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 3: but maybe.

471
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 5: Let me tell me, John, if you've learned anything in

472
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 5: the last five years, it's you shouldn't be betting. That's it.

473
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: I have a future ticket on the Kansas City Chiefs

474
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 3: to win the Super Bowl sitting in my desk, jour here.

475
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 3: That begs to differ. But we'll get you out of

476
00:22:57,560 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 3: here on that, buddy. Thank you. We'll talk to you

477
00:22:59,000 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 3: next week.

478
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 5: Okay, all right, guys, take it easy.

479
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 4: All right, we got I mean, what about a tattoo.

480
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,159
Speaker 4: Dude put a hole through his fucking chest right on

481
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:09,680
Speaker 4: your chest.

482
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 3: How about that. I'm not that tough five minutes, I'm

483
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 3: not that tough for all of that. But game bread

484
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 3: tattoos coming. I want to get it on my neck.

485
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,840
Speaker 3: My wife would not allow that. Craig Borsarry is that

486
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 3: Candido probably don't want that neck tattoo. He's a little

487
00:23:24,560 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: makeup on there though. All right, we gotta get to

488
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: the pronunciation of the week. So a lot of people

489
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 3: reached out on TJ. DeSantis' behalf. Okay. Heidi Dean, who

490
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 3: is one of my dear friends who works for the

491
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 3: UFC Kenny you know, HD. She texted me, TJ got

492
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:40,560
Speaker 3: it right. My twin brother, I mean is just bows

493
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 3: at the altar of TJ.

494
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 2: No.

495
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 3: But here's here's why he's two and two and not

496
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: three and one. I actually was gonna give him the point.

497
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 3: And then I went back and watched the ankle Lia fight.

498
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 3: Buffer butchered it, right, He just respectfully, He just said

499
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 3: ank Alive. I mean, whatever it was, you know, I

500
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:02,200
Speaker 3: love you puff So. But that Brendan Fitzgerald and Michael Bismae.

501
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 3: I said, all right, if Buffer and these two guys

502
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 3: all say ankle live three syllables, then we'll give TJ

503
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,760
Speaker 3: the point. But if Fitzgerald and biss Ping are both

504
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 3: saying ank Alia that he's not getting the fucking point,

505
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 3: and you know what, the two men who are sitting

506
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 3: there paid to really get it right, saying it multiple

507
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 3: times during a fight, said anklab So, TJ. Regrettably, you're

508
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 3: too certain.

509
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 6: You know, I'm not listening to the file before I

510
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: make the attempt.

511
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 3: Right, of course, and we know you're a great sport

512
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 3: and as credential as it gets. When it comes to me, I.

513
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 6: Just don't want to play a game that I can't win.

514
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 6: And if that's the case, yeah, you know what am

515
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 6: I doing here?

516
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 3: You know? All right, Well, let's make Kenny.

517
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 6: Let's make Kenny saying from now on and then I

518
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,160
Speaker 6: can just say nope, wrong.

519
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 3: All right, Well to that end, TJ, we have this

520
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 3: week's pronunciation of the week, and uh, this will be

521
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,080

525
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 3: we could say Guido on the broadcast, but uh, this

526
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 3: guy's fighting at bantam weight against Guido Connetti. T J.

527
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: Who am I talking about? This name is brutal and two?

528
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 6: Yes, no, nope, not interested?

Speaker 3: All right, well then we can give me the three

530
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: and one. But I really I need to hear you

531
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: say this guy's name.

532
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 6: Oh man, Uh, I don't even know how to say

533
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 6: the first name, little one, the last name.

534
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 3: This one's tough, though, day dena bat that one right.

Speaker 6: Bat batter roll bat bad bat bat bad.

536
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 3: George Gurzelle, all right, so it's spelled d A n

00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: A A b A T G E R e L.

538
00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:45,320
Speaker 3: Let's hear how he says it.

539
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 7: Okay, sorry, slowly one more.

540
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 3: He does know how to say it. He's just making news.

541
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,359
Speaker 3: So I wrote out the fanatics. I sent them to

542
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: buff and my boss is a Donna bot Getty. Right,

543
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:10,800
Speaker 3: so we'll see if that's I mean. I don't know

544
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,199
Speaker 3: if that's how to pronounce it. That's my interpretation of

545
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: the file. TJ. We're gonna make you three and two

546
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 3: on the year because that one was so unfair. We'll

547
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 3: give you loss for that one. We'll give you the

548
00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 3: win on ank Eliev and we will move on to

549
00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 3: the crazy. I know this is insane, I mean, but

550
00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,439
Speaker 3: for my twin brother Jay to call me impassioned with

551
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,440
Speaker 3: this plea to give TJ the point, he really must

552
00:26:34,520 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 3: have felt like we had wronged you last week. So

553
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: he's a smart guy. Yeah, Oh god damn it. What

554
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: the fuck? Those the sounds that used to come out

555
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,840
Speaker 3: of my fat mouth when I would cut myself shaving

556
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 3: before I knew about manscaped, and I got to think

557
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 3: a lot of you out there have had to do

558
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,399

Speaker 3: has gotta feel kind of screwed or hose a little bit,

590
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: maybe just short changed on that Coute Lava plus two

591
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 3: twenty five pick given what happened there. But uh, nonetheless,

Speaker 3: we're tied at twenty three and a big week is

593
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 3: upon us. Ian Parker is back for the pay per view.

594
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:42,760
Speaker 3: What's up getting.

595
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 7: I missed you guys last week?

596
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 3: John, We had you in a show. We had you

597
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 3: on the show picks picked.

598
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:52,719
Speaker 8: I didn't get to see you, guys. I didn't get

599
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 8: to make my picks. What was the first thing I

600
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 8: said to you off air? He did not just pick Utalaba.

601
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 8: I said, just kick the same as Kenny. Maintain the lead.

602
00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 8: It's a strategy thing, all right, don't be a hero.

603
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see if they run that fight back. I

604
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 3: love it. We'll see if they run that fight back.

605
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 3: You know what's interesting show is it stands to reason,

606
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 3: and we touched a lot on it the end, So

607
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: I won't go too far down that road with you.

608
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 3: But one thing that's interesting, Kenny is it Uncliab and

609
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 3: kutte Laba are both gonna make more money because of this,

610
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 3: right because if they run it back in six weeks

611
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 3: or suitor, you know what I mean. It's like, so

612
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 3: Ank Alive's getting his show money, he's win money, and

613
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: he gets to fight the same guy probably in a

614
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,200
Speaker 3: couple months. So uh, not all bad for the fighters.

615
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 3: Even though kute Laba is not a guy you want

616
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 3: on your bad side, I can assure you. All right,

617
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: So we're gonna make six picks today. It is UFC

618
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 3: two forty eight out of Sonia versus Romera. We will

619
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 3: begin with the featured prelim yours live on ESPN. Sugar

620
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 3: Show is back. Folks, unless you're a quintet ultra guy

621
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 3: like me, you haven't seen him compete in a while.

622
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 3: Sean O'Malley Monas three twenty Jose tech O Keinones plus

623
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 3: two sixty first appearance for O'Malley since UFC two twenty two.

624
00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 3: That was too years ago. March twenty eighteen, eighth UFC

625
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 3: Star for Teco, Who's a pretty good fighters, won five

626
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 3: of his last six under the radar Ian Parker, who

627
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:08,560
Speaker 3: do you got here?

628
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 8: He is a good fighter, but I would not want

629
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 8: to be on the opposite side of a very hungry,

630
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,360
Speaker 8: very probably impatient Sean O'Malley. At this point, I just

631
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 8: think Mally's reach. I think his creativity on the ground,

632
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 8: if it gets there, will be the difference. I like

633
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,719
Speaker 8: that he did that grappling competition. I actually watched. I

634
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 8: was impressed with him. You know, I feel like he's

635
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 8: been training and training. I don't think he's just been

636
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,479
Speaker 8: He's definitely a bit smoking weed, but I don't think

637
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 8: he's been doing nothing in smoking weed, So.

638
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go with Sugar. Yeah, I'm gonna go with

639
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 7: Sugar Shaw on this week.

640
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 8: I'm a little surprised he's that heavy of a favorite though,

641
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 8: like Betty was being out for so long, but I

642
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 8: still like him this week, so I'm gonna go with

643
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 8: Sugar Shawn for the win.

644
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: Kenny, I know this isn't like the Annunciation and the

645
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 3: Pronunciation podcast, but like, you can't just drop the O

646
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:56,080
Speaker 3: and call him Malley and not register on TJ's radar.

647
00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 3: Do you understanding? And you know how much love I

648
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 3: have for you, But you just called Mallian low hanging,

649
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 3: low hanging tign out.

650
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:08,000
Speaker 8: Turn Out, I speak very fast, so you probably just

651
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 8: didn't hear the Oh I know, listen, if I'm gonna

652
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 8: fuck up a name, it's not gonna be like that.

653
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 7: And TJ didn't come in, so you know he's waiting.

654
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 3: Low hanging every once in a while.

655
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 6: I just didn't figure I shouldn't derail the show because

656
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 6: you're an idiot, so oh god.

657
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 3: I mean I wanted to let it go and I

658
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 3: heard him Malle and anyone was watching the band ole, so.

659
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 6: You talked too quickly and somehow that's our fault.

660
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 8: No, the record, The record will back me up. Yeah,

661
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 8: I challenged the play. Fuck that we have replay, We

662
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 8: could do it.

663
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,160
Speaker 3: I gotta move though, because the best handicapper on the

664
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 3: show is Joe Osborne. He's coming up in about fifteen minutes. Wow,

665
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 3: it's just content. It's just.

666
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 7: Bring back in traras and get me the audio.

667
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 3: Fuck this, So I agree. Ken Flow, Keona's former soccer

668
00:31:59,800 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 3: play tough kid, Mexican striker, pretty good UFC body of

669
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 3: work here. What do you think about him in a

670
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 3: tough spot, at least on paper against Sean O'Malley.

671
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, listen, I think this is a fight that really

672
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:10,400
Speaker 4: favors Sean O'Malley.

673
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 3: You know, I think Canonia is dangerous. He could do

674
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 3: some things out there.

675
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: I just think that Sean O'Malley is gonna have his

676
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 4: number pretty much everywhere. So yes, smoking that Northern Cali

677
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:27,120
Speaker 4: gonna go with Sean O'Malley.

678
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 3: Here we go. You need good weed, you go to

679
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 3: the Sugar Show. Sean O'Malley take good carry all right,

680
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:36,360
Speaker 3: pay per view opener. This should be bananas. Great matchmaking here,

681
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 3: excuse me. At welterweight Alex cowboy Lavera minus won forty

682
00:32:39,320 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 3: five Max Payne. Griffin is plus one twenty five. You know,

683
00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,120
Speaker 3: Griffin has fought a very tough UFC schedule Ian thus far,

684
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: and maybe that's why he hasn't won two straight in

685
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: the octagon ninth UFC appearance here, He's a hard guy

686
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 3: to put away, great cardio, loves to fight. He's gone

687
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 3: twenty five minutes four times as a pro, last six

688
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 3: have gone the distance. A lot of film on Griffin.

689
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 3: What do you think about him here against the Brazilian

690
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 3: cowboy Alex Olivera.

691
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 7: I think his biggest it's danger.

692
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 8: His key would be the cardio against Olivera, who does

693
00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 8: not have a great gas tank. However, it just concerns

694
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 8: me because the guys who he's lost to I don't

695
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 8: think are anywhere near Olivera's level. Who Olivera has fought

696
00:33:18,560 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 8: on a competition standpoint. You know, it's fun to take

697
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 8: shots at underdogs here, but I just think Olivera is

698
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,320
Speaker 8: better everywhere. You know, I don't necessarily think he's gonna

699
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 8: knock Griffin out, but ground game he's better. You know,

700
00:33:31,040 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 8: He's I think he's striking as long as Olivera doesn't

701
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 8: get wild and try to get into a crazy exchange.

702
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 8: If he can stay composed and really utilize his ground game,

703
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 8: I think he has this so for the moment, although

704
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 8: I don't like it, it's this is a risky fight.

705
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 8: This is a lot harder pick than people may assume.

706
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 8: I'm still gonna take Cowboy Olivera here can flow?

707
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 3: Can you hear Gustavo Lima blaring in your head right

708
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 3: now as Alex Cowboy Olivera gets set to make another walk?

709
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 3: You know, he's kind of an acquired taste. I think

710
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 3: for a lot of people. He was nine and three

711
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 3: in the UFC at one point before the recent three

712
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 3: fight Skid Goodar Nelson, Mike Perry. Most recently he lost

713
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: a unanimous decisions the returning Nicholas Dalby could be fighting

714
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:10,759
Speaker 3: for his job here, Kenny, what do you think about

715
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:12,720
Speaker 3: Alex Olivera against Max Griffin?

716
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 4: You know this is a difficult one. I think Griffin

717
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 4: is more of your traditional orthodox striker. Olivera very unorthodox

718
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,719
Speaker 4: in his approach. He's got a weird rhythm to him.

719
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 4: I do think Griffin can definitely win this fight. I

720
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:34,920
Speaker 4: just think that oliver has a tendency of making things

721
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,080
Speaker 4: nasty out there, even for guys like Goodard Nelson, you know,

722
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: who typically can stick to a game plan and keep

723
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 4: it pretty technical. But olivera can find a way to

724
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 4: drag them into you know, these wild fights, and I

725
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 4: think Oliver is gonna be able to do this against

726
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 4: Max Griffin. I like Oliver here to win this fight,

727
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 4: all right.

728
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,239
Speaker 3: Also a welterway boys, the oncoming force that is the

729
00:34:56,400 --> 00:35:00,720
Speaker 3: Leech Lee Jinglyong one of my favorite people on this roster.

730
00:35:00,800 --> 00:35:02,960
Speaker 3: Despite the language Barrier, I got so much love for

731
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 3: the Leech, has such a big heart. He's the minus

732
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 3: one seventy five favorite here. Will try to keep the

733
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 3: momentum going with a fourth straight win against the plus

734
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 3: one fifty five underdog Neil Magni. Ken Fall, Why don't

735
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 3: you lead us here? What do you think the Leech

736
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 3: or the twenty time UFC veteran Neil Magni?

737
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:23,160
Speaker 4: Jeez, This is another tricky fight, well matched fight. I

738
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:26,719
Speaker 4: myself would like to see Magni establish his jab, keep

739
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 4: Jingleung on the outside and then look for takedowns. Try

740
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 4: to put him on his back and see if he

741
00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:36,000
Speaker 4: can you control him, slow him down look for a

742
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 4: submission there, but I just don't see it happening. I

743
00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 4: think Lee Jingleung is gonna get the win here. I

744
00:35:42,280 --> 00:35:44,160
Speaker 4: see him hurting him on the feet and maybe getting

745
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:44,920
Speaker 4: a late TKO.

746
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, Neil magni idole since he was knocked out by

747
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:51,120
Speaker 3: Santiago Ponzanibo. That was all the way back in November

748
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: of twenty eighteen. But that obviously is not the narrative

749
00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 3: on his career. He has been a workhorse and he's

750
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:01,160
Speaker 3: found found a recipe for success in the octagon despite

751
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 3: you know, at least on paper, coming off the ultimate fighter,

752
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,719
Speaker 3: not being a guy who people had high expectations for.

753
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 3: Fourteen UFC wins. That's Born and Ken flow my man,

754
00:36:11,239 --> 00:36:13,280
Speaker 3: you know, and a lot of that. You know, five

755
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,120
Speaker 3: in a full year in twenty fourteen. What do you

756
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 3: think about this fight here? Neil Magney leging lyon, But

757
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:20,200
Speaker 3: was he the.

758
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:25,040
Speaker 8: Most popular fighter over Anderson Silva for like eleven months?

759
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:25,719
Speaker 3: I think they.

760
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 4: Left last time I checked. He didn't fight after Anderson Silva.

761
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 4: But you know twice even was.

762
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 8: Ever a dark untelevised main event fight like Kenny, I

763
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 8: don't think so.

764
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 7: So here's here's what I'll say about Neil Bagan.

765
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,840
Speaker 8: I think I think one of the things about Magni

766
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 8: that made that that recipe for success like you spoke about,

767
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 8: was I guess kind of the unexpected surprise of him people.

768
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:51,200
Speaker 8: He was so unassuming, you know after the show, his

769
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,440
Speaker 8: ranged way he used it.

770
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 7: He was very good all around.

771
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 8: I mean that fight against Hector Lombard was crazy, you

772
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,840
Speaker 8: know his cardio also, however, I think he's at a

773
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 8: real disadvantage coming off a long layoff. I mean, when

774
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 8: you fight as much as he was doing, you get

775
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:06,520
Speaker 8: your own rhythm.

776
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,959
Speaker 7: He was finding success. The leech is no joke.

777
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 8: After that last fight, I am all about the leech, John,

778
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 8: I see why you love this guy.

779
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 7: I think the power here is going to be the

780
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 7: difference maker.

781
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 8: I don't know if Magni, who was once able to

782
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,879
Speaker 8: handle it, I don't think he'll be able to handle

783
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 8: the power. To Kenny's point, you gotta put leech on

784
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 8: his back in order to take away that situation.

785
00:37:25,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 7: I don't see that happening either.

786
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 8: I think his takedown attempts are way too predictable, and

787
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 8: I think the Leech comes out victorious in this one.

788
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 7: So I'm with Kenny here as well.

789
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 3: All right, next up on the pay per view featured

790
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:38,399
Speaker 3: bout at lightweight. This fight was made once before last

791
00:37:38,440 --> 00:37:40,640
Speaker 3: July and Sacramento, Banil dar Usch pulled out of the

792
00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 3: fight six days out Saturday night. It shall be done.

793
00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 3: The recently married Benil dar Usch. Monus won sixty five

794
00:37:47,160 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 3: j Kar Close plus one forty five IP. Who do

795
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 3: you have?

796
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 7: This is a tough fight.

797
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 8: This is a really tough fight to pick on a

798
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,680
Speaker 8: betting standpoint. I really don't like either one. It just

799
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 8: it just it's too close everywhere. But here, I'm gonna

800
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 8: roll with the underdog. I'm gonna go with Close in

801
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 8: this one. I think his leg kicks could be the difference,

802
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:06,000
Speaker 8: you know. I think with darry Yush, when he first

803
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 8: came to the us UFC, his wrestling, you know, was

804
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,000
Speaker 8: really something he utilized.

805
00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 7: He has not been able to establish that a.

806
00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 8: Lot lately, and I think that's why he's been a

807
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:16,399
Speaker 8: little inconsistent.

808
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 7: I don't love him in the you know, again, this

809
00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:19,960
Speaker 7: is so tough.

810
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,719
Speaker 8: I just think that in order for Close to win

811
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:24,839
Speaker 8: this fight, he cannot be as hesitant as he was

812
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 8: in his last fight against Jagos Am I pronouncing that

813
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 8: one correctly?

814
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 7: Probably not, but I'm just gonna throw it out there.

815
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,040
Speaker 8: I know I'm not gonna pronounce ninety eight percent of

816
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:35,439
Speaker 8: these guys correctly, but I'm gonna go with Close.

817
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 7: I think the leg kicks, I think his.

818
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 8: Wrestling will prevent the takedowns, and I think he's a

819
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 8: better striker.

820
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 7: So he's also really scrappy, he's tough. I like him

821
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 7: in this one. If I had to pick.

822
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 3: So Kenny, I saw, well, you do have to pick I.

823
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 3: Sadra Carr Close shortly after dar US's withdrawal, and he

824
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 3: was not happy obviously, a week out, biggest fight of

825
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 3: his career, at least on paper, formerly rank guy in

826
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 3: dar Yush, and he was moving on from the fight,

827
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 3: went and fought christ Dosiagos and now this fight comes

828
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 3: around again. So it does have some extra heat on it,

829
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:06,719
Speaker 3: I think, at least on the close side. I don't

830
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:10,120
Speaker 3: know if that matters, but Daryush, you know, has won

831
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 3: three straight since a three fight winless kid. You got

832
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 3: close at five and one in the UFC. Who do

833
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 3: you think keeps it going here? This is another close

834
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 3: matchup here. I think for Drakar Close the things that

835
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,920
Speaker 3: he does better. I think he probably has the cleaner wrestling.

836
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 3: He probably has the cleaner boxing as well. But somehow

837
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,800
Speaker 3: Daryush is able to really combine all of his skills

838
00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:35,839
Speaker 3: into a tough package to deal with. And I think

839
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 3: that Daryush is gonna be a little bit more dangerous everywhere.

840
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: If someone gets a finish, I think it's gonna be Daryush.

841
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 3: I think it probably favors Close if it goes to decision,

842
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 3: but I think Daryush is gonna find a way to

843
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,279
Speaker 3: get the win here. I think he's gonna come out

844
00:39:50,360 --> 00:39:53,360
Speaker 3: very aggressive and throw Close off of his game. Close

845
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: likes a more of a controlled pace, and Daryush kind

846
00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,840
Speaker 3: of will get your face and pressure straight away. So

847
00:40:00,480 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 3: I liked, are you sure to get to win? If

848
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,319
Speaker 3: you're wondering why Ken Flow is the best analysts in MMA,

849
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: rewind the show thirty seconds. Just listen to those thirty seconds.

850
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,560
Speaker 3: Listen all right, co headliner UFC Straweight title Kenny, We'll

851
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:12,560
Speaker 3: have you lead here my man jongwe Lee minus one

852
00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:16,200
Speaker 3: seventy five yo Wanna Young Jcheck plus one fifty five.

853
00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: So jeongwe Lee favored here in what will be the

854
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 3: first defense of her undisputed title. So we're gonna sit

855
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:24,000
Speaker 3: down with her for the first time Thursday in Vegas,

856
00:40:24,200 --> 00:40:27,839
Speaker 3: and obviously we're curious how this whole coronavirus backdrop has

857
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,799
Speaker 3: affected her preparation. If you follow her on Instagram, you

858
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 3: know she's been bouncing around, but she has been in

859
00:40:32,680 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 3: the US for a while, and she's gonna try to

860
00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 3: take out the former strawweight queen here. I love this fight,

861
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:43,240
Speaker 3: ken Flow remarkably a tenth UFC title fight for Yoanna

862
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 3: Young Jcheck certainly has a huge edge in terms of

863
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,920
Speaker 3: the strength of schedule, UFC championship experience. How do you

864
00:40:48,960 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 3: handicap the Komine event? Kid?

865
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 4: I really love this fight as well. It's intriguing for

866
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,920
Speaker 4: a lot of different reasons. You know, is this a

867
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:03,200
Speaker 4: new you wanna Young jchick? You know, is she hungry again?

868
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 4: I think she lost a little bit of her hunger.

869
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 4: I think some in some cases, the early success may

870
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 4: have plagued her. Obviously, she had a lot of issues

871
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 4: outside of the octagon that she had to deal with,

872
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,000
Speaker 4: and I'm sure those were major factors as well. But

873
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 4: sometimes when you find success that early in the UFC

874
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 4: and then things don't go so well, you tend to

875
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,279
Speaker 4: start to doubt yourself big time. You know, you know

876
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 4: it was I doing the right thing. Are people getting

877
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:33,600
Speaker 4: better than me? And we have a Chinese fighter who

878
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 4: is I think gonna be looking for these exchanges.

879
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:40,560
Speaker 3: Is going to be trying.

880
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:42,520
Speaker 4: To test the chin of you on a young J chick,

881
00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 4: and I think she has the power to do it.

882
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 4: I think there's been times where you know, I see

883
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,239
Speaker 4: Jong and I feel like she shows a little bit

884
00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 4: of inexperience. Sometimes she gets overly excited, you know when

885
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 4: she hurts her opponents. But she's got some serious power.

886
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,080
Speaker 4: I think she's only getting better. I think she's a

887
00:42:02,120 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 4: tremendous athlete. I think she's the better athlete here. I

888
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 4: think you want a young J chick if she's able

889
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,440
Speaker 4: to take this to decision and be discipline and outpoint

890
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 4: her round after round. I think you want to can

891
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,839
Speaker 4: win this, but I like Jong to get the win here.

892
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:18,799
Speaker 4: I think she's gonna look to try to finish her

893
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:23,600
Speaker 4: and we'll get the finish. Let's go with fourth round TKO.

894
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,200
Speaker 3: Round four TKO the official pick for Ken Flow on

895
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 3: Jong Way Lee So Young Jcheck's strawweight rain from twenty

896
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty seventeen. Ian absolutely is the rain that

897
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:38,479
Speaker 3: all of these future strawweight rains will be judged. Noma

898
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,440
Speaker 3: Unis wasn't able to hold that belt as long. I

899
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:46,120
Speaker 3: do think yo Wanna has figured out how to successfully

900
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 3: make one hundred and fifteen pounds and not completely destroy herself.

901
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,560
Speaker 3: Maybe that's not the case, you know, but I do

902
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 3: believe that there have been some encouraging signs. Certainly the

903
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 3: Michelle Watterson wait Cup back in October I think was

904
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,279
Speaker 3: a step in the right direction for jeanwel Lee. I

905
00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:03,080
Speaker 3: don't know if she's fought anyone remotely close to Yoanna

906
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: forty two seconds of footage from that Jessica Andrage championship win,

907
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:11,600
Speaker 3: but obviously there's a good UFC body of work that

908
00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: preceded that fight that Ti Sha Torrez win. What do

909
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:20,279
Speaker 3: you think about this straweight title foot.

910
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 8: On a betting standpoint, Yoanna plus one p fifty five

911
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 8: is pretty fucking sexy.

912
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 7: It's it's hard because you know.

913
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 8: How when do you do you ever see those type

914
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:31,279
Speaker 8: of odds, like as an underdog for someone who's been

915
00:43:31,320 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 8: a dominant champ, who has fought the top of the top,

916
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:35,719
Speaker 8: the best of the best, and then you have Lee

917
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:37,480
Speaker 8: who comes in as a champion. To your point, what

918
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 8: was it for you said? Forty two seconds?

919
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 7: Right?

920
00:43:40,120 --> 00:43:42,400
Speaker 8: The only thing that I you know, I think Kenny

921
00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:45,399
Speaker 8: kind of broke this down perfectly. You know, one thing

922
00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,880
Speaker 8: he just didn't mention was that Lee's wrestling. You know,

923
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 8: you kind of forget about that, and that's always been

924
00:43:50,280 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 8: Yoanna's you know, kryptonite as well. Putting her in her

925
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 8: back is something that Lee can rely on, not just

926
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 8: her power. Her boxing looks really good. She just seems

927
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 8: like maybe the more well round fight her. I don't

928
00:44:01,600 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 8: know what her cardio is gonna be, and if it

929
00:44:03,680 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 8: goes to the distance of the Kenny's point, Yoanna has

930
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,360
Speaker 8: to go that far. She has to outpoint her, she

931
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,120
Speaker 8: has to outstrike her tremendously in and out fire away

932
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 8: those leg kicks take.

933
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:13,520
Speaker 7: Away that power.

934
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 3: You know.

935
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:16,360
Speaker 7: But I just think Lee is a monster.

936
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:16,880
Speaker 3: You know.

937
00:44:16,960 --> 00:44:19,080
Speaker 8: That last fight shut me the fuck up real bad,

938
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 8: because I thought Onrage was gonna be the more powerful.

939
00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:23,400
Speaker 7: One and nope.

940
00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 8: You know what I'm willing to when I'm wrong, I'm wrong,

941
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,480
Speaker 8: and I was really fucking wrong with that one. So

942
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:29,839
Speaker 8: I think Lee wins here. I'm gonna do little prices, right,

943
00:44:29,840 --> 00:44:32,480
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go round two. I think she'll finish Yauanna.

944
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 8: I think if she takes his fight to the ground,

945
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 8: I see her ticket y wanta to the ground. You

946
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 8: want up being on force, trying to get up and

947
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,400
Speaker 8: Lee just firing away that left hand on the ground

948
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:41,439
Speaker 8: and just ending it that way.

949
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:43,359
Speaker 7: I just think she's a beast.

950
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:46,080
Speaker 8: I think her discipline, you know, with the way she

951
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,560
Speaker 8: trains for what I'm hearing and what I'm reading, I

952
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 8: like it. You know, you want to maybe hungry, but

953
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,360
Speaker 8: I think Lee is just so well rounded that Kenny's

954
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 8: got something.

955
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:59,200
Speaker 3: Go ahead, No, And I was gonna add, are you done?

956
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 5: Yeah?

957
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, listen, I was gonna.

958
00:45:01,680 --> 00:45:03,799
Speaker 4: I was just gonna add, you know, I think a

959
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,400
Speaker 4: lot of it had to do with Michelle Waterson's excellent

960
00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:07,520
Speaker 4: performance as well.

961
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,480
Speaker 3: But I was waiting for this.

962
00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 4: Amazing performance from Yoanna Young Jake Check to go out

963
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:15,040
Speaker 4: there and finish uh someone like Michelle Waterson.

964
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 3: She couldn't get it done. When I didn't see that,

965
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:19,400
Speaker 3: I said, I don't know if she has it yet.

966
00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 3: It doesn't mean she doesn't. She could show up and

967
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 3: really prove us wrong here.

968
00:45:23,120 --> 00:45:25,680
Speaker 4: But I was waiting for an amazing performance and I

969
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:27,160
Speaker 4: just didn't see that here.

970
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 3: So that's why I'm going with Jongwa Lee as well.

971
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,959
Speaker 3: All Right, a couple of plays there, go ahead, good.

972
00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 8: No, I was gonna say no to Kenny's point. You know,

973
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 8: that was something that was kind of the fight. I

974
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 8: thought that was designed for Joanna to have that moment

975
00:45:39,880 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 8: to set this up. You know, I thought she she

976
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 8: made a fun a little conservative to make sure she

977
00:45:43,480 --> 00:45:45,880
Speaker 8: got the win. But you just you just kind of

978
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 8: took the words right from my mouth, even though I

979
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 8: was probably rambling like an asshole. You know, that's really

980
00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 8: the thing that I was waiting for too. So that

981
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,440
Speaker 8: I'm with you, I think. I think Lisa Starr this

982
00:45:55,560 --> 00:45:56,760
Speaker 8: is huge for her for her resumes.

983
00:45:56,800 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 3: Shoan Way Lee, stop calling her Lee. I let it

984
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 3: go there for six times. Fucking Christ it's like calling

985
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 3: Kenny Knight. It's like Kenny fucking Knee. Call him knee. Look,

986
00:46:06,760 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 3: it's Lee main event through the undisputed UFCE Midway Championship.

987
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: This will be the first official defense for Israel Ada Sonia.

988
00:46:16,800 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 3: He doesn't see it as such because he had that

989
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:22,280
Speaker 3: inner rebel going into Whitaker fight, but first official defense.

990
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 3: He's the Monust two seventy five favorite against the ageless

991
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 3: Joel Romero, who comes back plus two thirty five. All

992
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 3: credit to Izzy for taking a page out of Bibnrmongo

993
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: Meadow's book and perpetually asking for the toughest fights. If

994
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 3: Paolo Costa is hurt, I want Joel Romero. I want

995
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 3: that scalp on my resume. Ian Parker, how do you

996
00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 3: see the main event plan out this weekend?

997
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:47,160
Speaker 8: If we were talking two years ago, I would go

998
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:50,000
Speaker 8: Romero because he actually used his wrestling. Uh, but he

999
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 8: doesn't seem like that guy anymore. He wants to land

1000
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,440
Speaker 8: the flying me. He wants to brawl and land the knockout.

1001
00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 8: Against paul A Costa. He only went for a couple

1002
00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 8: of takedowns, got them stood back up, and just didn't

1003
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:02,799
Speaker 8: try again. Out of Sonya is just in my just

1004
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 8: I think his evolution and his young career in the

1005
00:47:04,800 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 8: UFC has just been unbelievable. His takedown defense, he's just

1006
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 8: so good, and I just don't know if I just

1007
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 8: think he listen, I think he wins this fight. I

1008
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 8: don't think he's gonna finish Romero. You know, Romero's obviously

1009
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 8: very tough to finish, and if this just becomes a

1010
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 8: kickboxing fight, I think it's pretty obviously Ata Sonya has

1011
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 8: the edge here, you know, just Romero. I mean, listen,

1012
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 8: he's a frightening individual power for days, He's a freak.

1013
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,160
Speaker 8: The guy is just watching him, his eyes, the facial expressions,

1014
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:33,759
Speaker 8: it's like nothing fazes him. But I also don't think

1015
00:47:33,800 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 8: he really thinks logically, like in the fight, he's like

1016
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,839
Speaker 8: you like, he throws it out the window. It's so inconsistent.

1017
00:47:39,880 --> 00:47:41,480
Speaker 8: So I think he is were all out of Sonya here.

1018
00:47:41,560 --> 00:47:43,680
Speaker 8: I'm gonna go by decision. I just don't think he

1019
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:46,680
Speaker 8: plays into Yoel Romero's game at all. You know, he

1020
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 8: doesn't fight emotional like Romero does, So I got izzy

1021
00:47:50,239 --> 00:47:50,719
Speaker 8: can't flow.

1022
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 3: Yoel Romero's last four fights one in three lost to

1023
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:57,160
Speaker 3: Robert Whitaker UFC two thirteen, twenty seventeen, one of the

1024
00:47:57,160 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 3: best fights I've ever seen. Then he knocked out Luke

1025
00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:02,640
Speaker 3: Rock in Perth. That was February twenty eighteen. He wins

1026
00:48:02,640 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 3: the Interer midweight title fight, but he had missedweight, so

1027
00:48:05,719 --> 00:48:08,239
Speaker 3: no belt for him. Next fight then rematch for the

1028
00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:10,719
Speaker 3: undisputed title that was UFC two to twenty five June

1029
00:48:10,760 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. Missed wait again. A lot of people thought

1030
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,440
Speaker 3: he won that or did enough to win that whittick

1031
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,319
Speaker 3: Er rematch, but uh then was on the wrong end

1032
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 3: of a split decision there, beaten by Paolo Costaid UFC

1033
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: two to forty one last August. So it's two straight

1034
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,440
Speaker 3: losses on paper, but still as dangerous and seemingly as

1035
00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 3: motivated as any midweight in the world. That's why out

1036
00:48:29,400 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 3: Ofsnia wants to fight. I flew back from Houston with Romero.

1037
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 3: He is carrying himself very lean. I know that doesn't

1038
00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 3: guarantee that he's gonna make weight on Friday, but tremendous fight.

1039
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 3: I know you and Izzy go way back. The floor

1040
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 3: is yours. Who wins the middleweight title fight in Vegas? Well,

1041
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,960
Speaker 3: let's see if America can make champ wait. You know,

1042
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 3: I think that is he sees something very clear, and

1043
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:55,440
Speaker 3: that's why he wants this fight. Not only does he

1044
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:58,000
Speaker 3: want to prove himself, but I do think he sees a.

1045
00:48:58,040 --> 00:49:02,000
Speaker 4: Vulnerability in Romero's game. What is that vulnerability? I think

1046
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,400
Speaker 4: there's a few things first, Romero is a little too stiff.

1047
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,560
Speaker 4: Everyone talks about him being this physical specimen, and he is.

1048
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 4: He looks like one. Does he move as a mixed

1049
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 4: martial artist as this specimen.

1050
00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 3: I don't think he does.

1051
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:20,760
Speaker 4: I think he carries this slow moving pace for a reason.

1052
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,760
Speaker 4: He doesn't want to get tired. It's the other reason

1053
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:27,799
Speaker 4: why he doesn't rely on a heavy based strategy when

1054
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:31,680
Speaker 4: he fights. He doesn't want to get tired. Olympic wrestling,

1055
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 4: it's like they're quick goes and you're done. This is

1056
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,479
Speaker 4: a twenty five minute fight that he has to pace

1057
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 4: himself for. I expect Adisanya to get there right out

1058
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,520
Speaker 4: of the gate and pressure them and get Romero to

1059
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 4: work hard from that very first second of that very

1060
00:49:47,600 --> 00:49:48,320
Speaker 4: first round.

1061
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 3: I think out of Sany's.

1062
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,879
Speaker 4: Game plan is to go heavy early, look to take

1063
00:49:52,960 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 4: him out late in that fight in a fourth or

1064
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:55,839
Speaker 4: fifth round.

1065
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,000
Speaker 3: TKO. Can he do it? Yes? I believe he does.

1066
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 3: I think he's got this. I think he has the

1067
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:02,400
Speaker 3: variety of skills.

1068
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:05,839
Speaker 4: You look at the intelligence of how both of these

1069
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,240
Speaker 4: guys approach their fights and how they execute their game plans.

1070
00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:12,879
Speaker 4: Romero tends to get a feel for the fight Adasanya

1071
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 4: does that as well, but he has also has a

1072
00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:19,200
Speaker 4: very clear game plan and approach. He knows exactly what

1073
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 4: his opponent is going to do at all times. That's

1074
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,760
Speaker 4: why he's getting these, you know, tremendous performances. That finish

1075
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 4: over Whittaker I thought was a stroke of genius the

1076
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:28,640
Speaker 4: way that he.

1077
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 3: Knocked him out. He knew exactly what Whitaker was going

1078
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:31,279
Speaker 3: to do.

1079
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:35,240
Speaker 4: He was leaning back expecting that hook trade he landed first,

1080
00:50:35,280 --> 00:50:38,399
Speaker 4: got the finish over a tremendous champion in Whittaker who

1081
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 4: beat Romero not once but twice. I like Adasanya here

1082
00:50:42,520 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 4: to get a TKO or knockout in round four. You know,

1083
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,359
Speaker 4: I think this is going to be a tremendous fight.

1084
00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,080
Speaker 4: I'm excited for this one, and I think Autasanya definitely

1085
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 4: has that special star quality and this fight.

1086
00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 3: Is going to take him up yet another notch. He said,

1087
00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:02,080
Speaker 3: I'm gonna I'm not gonna slow cook him. We'll see

1088
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,560
Speaker 3: if he can get him out of there. Ken Flow

1089
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: says round four, Ian Parker. Anything on the way out,

1090
00:51:06,239 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 3: my man, I.

1091
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,560
Speaker 8: Don't know what it is with Kenny say. Maybe it's

1092
00:51:09,600 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 8: the lavender, but man, you brought the fucking heat right there.

1093
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 7: Rought the heat got you.

1094
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,239
Speaker 8: He was all over that screen right there. He came

1095
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 8: ready kennybe championship. Wait, I'm ready to go this wee.

1096
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,880
Speaker 8: I'm pumped for this fight. No, I'm really I'm pumped

1097
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 8: for this fight this weekend. It should be a lot

1098
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 8: of fun.

1099
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 3: All right, buddy, we will talk to you next week.

1100
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 3: Good stuff, Thank you, sir.

1101
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:31,160
Speaker 7: You gotta lead you guys.

1102
00:51:31,400 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 3: All right. Ata Sonia versus Romero four or five sleeps away.

1103
00:51:35,719 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: I just can't wait, you know. And it's funny because

1104
00:51:38,200 --> 00:51:40,000
Speaker 3: when Autasani says I'm gonna fry him and I'm not

1105
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,360
Speaker 3: gonna slow cook him, right, It's like I feel like

1106
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 3: if I was allowed to bet on this stuff, that

1107
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,640
Speaker 3: would be something that I'd be like, huh, maybe he's

1108
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 3: maybee under fifteen minutes. We'll see. But I do believe

1109
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 3: that Romero uh has put in all the right work continuously, kenful.

1110
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 3: I just think he does have that cardio blockage thing.

1111
00:51:57,800 --> 00:52:00,040
Speaker 3: And you know, we talked about Colby Covington. Realize I

1112
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,840
Speaker 3: think as an eight year old on a soccer pitch

1113
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 3: that he had a third lung. And I think for

1114
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 3: Yoel he has a very acute understanding of even if

1115
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 3: he maximizes his resting heart rate, he can only be

1116
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 3: so good in rounds four and five if he doesn't

1117
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 3: take one off.

1118
00:52:13,760 --> 00:52:17,080
Speaker 4: Absolutely absolutely, John, and I think there's a reason why

1119
00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 4: he moves the way he does. He is pacing himself

1120
00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:23,360
Speaker 4: and that's smart. But again I think that that is

1121
00:52:23,400 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 4: going to ultimately lead to his downfall here. And he's

1122
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:29,520
Speaker 4: just a little too stiff on the feet and you know,

1123
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 4: not as efficient as he can be. I think Adasanya

1124
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,520
Speaker 4: is a guy who just moves so well, He's so fluid,

1125
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:39,560
Speaker 4: he's so fast, and man, he might just might just

1126
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 4: be the smartest fighter in the game.

1127
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:43,600
Speaker 3: All right, Well, we are going to get a third

1128
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: and final opinion on this main event between Israelina Sonia

Speaker 3: How's it going, my man, John?

1146
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 9: I just took a pre workout. I could kick in

1147
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,440
Speaker 9: at any moment. I got big workout on tap, but

1148
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 9: I'm pumped here talking to you.

1149
00:53:43,040 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: I love it. I don't know what ken Flow took today,

1150
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:47,319
Speaker 3: but some of the finest mixed martial arts analysis I've

1151
00:53:47,360 --> 00:53:50,040
Speaker 3: heard in a long time. So before we get to

1152
00:53:50,120 --> 00:53:54,880
Speaker 3: your prediction on Ottosnia and Romero this weekend, sure a

1153
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,360
Speaker 3: lot of people are talking about Tom Brady, and rightfully so.

1154
00:53:57,480 --> 00:54:01,480
Speaker 3: As a Patriots fan obnoxiously wearing Entering Title Town sweatshirt

1155
00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 3: all weekend, everybody wants to know where TV twelve is

1156
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 3: going next year. I'm a betting man. I have seen

1157
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,600
Speaker 3: that New England still appears to be the betting favorite.

1158
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,400
Speaker 3: I guess if I had to bet right now, I

1159
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 3: think he would go to the Tennessee Titans. If he

1160
00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,399
Speaker 3: doesn't go back to New England, what do the odds say?

1161
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 3: And do you have any lean as to where you

1162
00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 3: think Tommy's going to play in September?

1163
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, you take a look at the yards and this

1164
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:28,440
Speaker 9: is as of last week. These are off the board

1165
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 9: right now. But as of last week, he is favored

1166
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:33,720
Speaker 9: to go back to New England at minus two fifty.

1167
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 9: But if he does leave, the favorite to the Las

1168
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:40,240
Speaker 9: Vegas Raiders and the Los Angeles Chargers plus three hundred,

1169
00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 9: then the Tennessee Titans plus seven hundred my lean, and

1170
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:48,279
Speaker 9: it's a hard lean. I think he's going back to

1171
00:54:48,320 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 9: New England if he wants to win, especially to do

1172
00:54:51,680 --> 00:54:53,960
Speaker 9: so is in New England? Do they still have one

1173
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,719
Speaker 9: of the top defenses in the league. They have an

1174
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:59,080
Speaker 9: opportunity in the offseason to improve their offensive skill positions

1175
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 9: as well as an almost guaranteed ticket to the playoffs.

1176
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,799
Speaker 9: Thanks for playing in the AFC East, you know, I

1177
00:55:05,800 --> 00:55:07,960
Speaker 9: think both sides are kind of posturing right now. That's

1178
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:11,120
Speaker 9: the negotiations and the work, plus the league and the

1179
00:55:11,160 --> 00:55:14,840
Speaker 9: players are working on a new CBA, So what's the rush? Ultimately,

1180
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 9: you know, I kind of picked the story. Is Beam

1181
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,360
Speaker 9: blown out of proportion? A little bit bit of a

1182
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:21,040
Speaker 9: slow news cycle right now? So I think we see

1183
00:55:21,080 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 9: him go back to the Patriots and they have one

1184
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,040
Speaker 9: more kicket the can.

1185
00:55:24,760 --> 00:55:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so too, man, I really do. It's like,

1186
00:55:27,040 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 3: if you know Tom, you know that he's trying to

1187
00:55:29,320 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 3: win a ring next season, and as great as the

1188
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:35,319
Speaker 3: Chargers roster is on paper, he's got to believe in

1189
00:55:35,360 --> 00:55:37,640
Speaker 3: Mahomes's division that he can get out of that division.

1190
00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 3: And he's got to believe that Anthony Lynn, the head coach,

1191
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 3: can take him to the Promised Land. And I'm not

1192
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 3: sure he thinks Anthony Lynn is that guy, all right,

1193
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 3: But in the nature of time, I want to move on.

1194
00:55:46,640 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 3: So I love future wagers. As you know, at times

1195
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:51,360
Speaker 3: you can bet you know who's going to be the

1196
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,560
Speaker 3: UFC champion at the end of twenty twenty. But Major

1197
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:57,440
Speaker 3: League Baseball Spring training is here, so a lot of

1198
00:55:57,480 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: people are betting on these season win totals. And you've

1199
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:02,240
Speaker 3: got two for our listeners here today.

1200
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:05,879
Speaker 9: Yeah one, I love listen. A lot of people aren't

1201
00:56:05,880 --> 00:56:07,360
Speaker 9: gonna like this one, but this is one of the

1202
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 9: smartest MLB features that you can make right now, and

1203
00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 9: that's for the Houston Astros to go over. Not love

1204
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,440
Speaker 9: it and a half wins loving. People despise this team.

1205
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,279
Speaker 9: They want them to lose and they want to bet

1206
00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 9: against them, but this is still very much one of

1207
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:24,440
Speaker 9: the most talented rosters in baseball. They've won one hundred

1208
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,600
Speaker 9: more one hundred and one or more games than three

1209
00:56:26,640 --> 00:56:29,360
Speaker 9: straight seasons and including one of was other last season

1210
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 9: when springer al Tuvan Korea. All this significant time. You know,

1211
00:56:33,040 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 9: they don't play in the greatest division. They met fifty

1212
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:38,560
Speaker 9: six and twenty within the ALS last season, and they

1213
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,600
Speaker 9: also had a great road recker where they didn't have

1214
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 9: that little camera in the utfield to tell them what

1215
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 9: the pitchers are coming. So I think they're still going

1216
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:49,120
Speaker 9: to have a pretty good season. And you know, flirt,

1217
00:56:49,200 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 9: let's get into that triple digits one hundred again. Favorite

1218
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:55,759
Speaker 9: under bet Pittsburgh Pirates sixty nine and a half really

1219
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 9: low number, but keep in mind they won to sixty

1220
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:02,160
Speaker 9: nine games last season, playing a very competitive division where

1221
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 9: four of the teams have a realistic chance of winning.

1222
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:06,480
Speaker 9: The Pirates are not one of those teams. Are going

1223
00:57:06,520 --> 00:57:08,160
Speaker 9: to be a punching bag for the rest of them.

1224
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 9: They had an atrocious second half twenty five and forty

1225
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,640
Speaker 9: eight did nothing to improve a roster that was in

1226
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,960
Speaker 9: the bottom third of both run scored and ERA. So

1227
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 9: I like under for the Pirates.

1228
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like that. I knew you were going over Houston.

1229
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:24,840
Speaker 3: I knew that was coming, all right. So for our listeners,

1230
00:57:24,880 --> 00:57:28,160
Speaker 3: I think they want to know, as as a credentialed

1231
00:57:28,160 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 3: handicapper on your level, Israel lot of Sonya minus two

1232
00:57:31,600 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 3: to seventy five Yol Romero plus two thirty five are

1233
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 3: two resident guys Canfilonian Parker. They like Israel lot of

1234
00:57:37,440 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 3: Sonia to win this fight. How do you see the

1235
00:57:39,600 --> 00:57:41,440
Speaker 3: main event? Do you see any value at all on

1236
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:42,800
Speaker 3: that Yoel Romero side?

1237
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:47,280
Speaker 9: I do, uh you know? In terms of who wins

1238
00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 9: them in no rush to bet against Adisanya, but the

1239
00:57:50,680 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 9: vetting from a vetting value perspective, the values on Romero only.

1240
00:57:54,280 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 9: Losses in the UFC came on the wrong end of

1241
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 9: some very close razor fin decisions and who knows a

1242
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 9: different to the judges in those fights, especially the Robert

1243
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 9: Whitaker ones. He might be wearing the shraps today, so

1244
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 9: he's probably one of the best guys not wearing a

1245
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 9: belt today. However, my best at for this fight is

1246
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,680
Speaker 9: for the fight to go to decision at plus one

1247
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:15,960
Speaker 9: seventy five. We know Adisonia has never been finished in

1248
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 9: his mm A career, Romero only been finished once way

1249
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 9: back in twenty eleven, and Strike Force neither man easy

1250
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 9: to put away. We've seen each a lot of big

1251
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 9: shots and stay on their fight. I think we get

1252
00:58:26,760 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 9: a similar fight to Adisonia versus Gasolm. So fight goes

1253
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 9: to the decision looks like a pretty good spot, especially

1254
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:33,200
Speaker 9: at plus one seventy five.

1255
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: Last time he gave one of those out dominic rays

1256
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,080
Speaker 3: and John Jones. It came in Joe Osborne on Twitter

1257
00:58:39,080 --> 00:58:42,040
Speaker 3: at jtfoz. If you want more from him, hit that

1258
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,520

Speaker 3: have a good week, have a good workout, kid. I

1260
00:58:46,440 --> 00:58:48,280
Speaker 3: gotta get one in Jesus Christ.

1261
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 9: Absolutely, man, the pre work that's kicking in right now.

1262
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 3: I can feel it all right, buddy, have a good week.

1263
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:57,000
Speaker 5: All right, guys, I gotta I.

1264
00:58:57,000 --> 00:58:59,680
Speaker 3: Need like some workout and answer. You know it's like

1265
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,160
Speaker 3: maybe little caffeine, but yeah, you're a coffee guy, right,

1266
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 3: do you drink coffee? Coffee? Not necessarily right before the workout,

1267
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,720
Speaker 3: Ronda Rousey style, but maybe that's what I need to do. Yeah,

1268
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 3: And if you haven't done well, actually eventually probably that

1269
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 3: testosteron'll probably be an option. All right, if you haven't

1270
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,360
