65
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's right. Let's let's give him, you know, everything

66
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: we got left. Luke Okay, let's just empty it.

67
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: Let's empty the tank, all right. Topic number one here

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: and again last apologies for the delay. Here we go

69
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: Topic number one BC. I did the post Fight Show,

70
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to hear what you have to say.

71
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: Colby Covington basically dominates Jorge mass that'll en route two

72
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: a unanimous decision I think had a fifty to forty five,

73
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: fifty forty four and a forty nine to forty six.

74
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: But that basically tells the story of the fight BC

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: overall impressions of the fight, and then specifically, what did

76
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: you learn about Colby Covington in this contest?

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, you know, in the end, it played out

78
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: how we all thought was certainly the most likely outcome.

79
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: It's why the betting odds were were that way, with

80
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 3: a three to one favorite for Covington, who had the

81
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 3: freshness advantage and certainly most importantly that stylistic advantage. It

82
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 3: was right in some of our ways we predicted and

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 3: look at it a coming in in terms of what

84
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 3: version of mos vidoal it would be. But it went

85
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,119
Speaker 3: to script for the most part. And what I learned

86
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 3: is that Kolby Kofetkin is still very much at age thirty.

87
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: Four of the true elite of this.

88
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 3: Game, right in that same category in my opinion, with

89
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 3: the Max Holloways, Robert Whittakers, Dustin poorrieres right now, who

90
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: are some of the best UFC fighters who are not

91
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 3: champions at the moment, right on the edge of the

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: top ten pound for pound, makes smart adjustments, showed his

93
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: toughness in that little hiccup in round four, which is

94
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 3: you know, probably gonna be more of a conversation on

95
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 3: what Mosvedal didn't do after that moment. But I'm still

96
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 3: seeing a very complete fighter, Luke. And whether you love

97
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: him or you hate him, but it's set up for

98
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: you to hate him, to be fair, that pivot which

99
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: he laid the groundwork during fight week of the you know,

100
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 3: I hate Dustin Poorier two guys, don't forget that that

101
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: instant pivot afterwards shows he understands Luke where he's truly at.

102
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: He's not gonna get a third shot at Usman anytime soon,

103
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 3: so you need money fights. And if he can continue

104
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: to like this Mosvidal fight to fight guys who you.

105
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: Know, a little bit older, not a well rounded.

106
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 3: His cardio, his wrestling, what makes him great is is

107
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 3: very much the top of the sport, Luke, the you

108
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 3: know those categories cardio wrestling. He knows what the hell

109
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,719
Speaker 3: he's doing and he's rounded out his game enough to

110
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 3: make sure there were no you know, there were hiccups,

111
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: but there was no problem at the end of the day.

112
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,040
Speaker 1: The calling out of Poorier. You you seem to believe

113
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: that that is, you know, designed to get a big

114
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: name fight right and to sort of stay relevant by

115
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: virtue of that. Do you think that the UFC will

116
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: make him fight the winner of either Luke versus who's

117
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: he fighting here balal Mohammad or the winner of Burns

118
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,800
Speaker 1: versus CHIMAIV. Where does Colby even because listen, Poorier, I

119
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: don't know if he's going to take that fight. He

120
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: might well have to see, but there's a decent chance

121
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: he doesn't. So where does that leave Colby?

122
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: If you're Colby at thirty four, you know you're still

123
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: the best you've ever bet. This is where the physical

124
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 3: and the mental and the experience comes together. This is

125
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 3: the best version of Colby Covington right now. He knows

126
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 3: his win is closing though Luke and I don't think

127
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: it's advantageous for him to go back to the to

128
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 3: the ladder and go through the top two or three

129
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 3: guys to try to just get back into the conversation

130
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 3: of a nusman fight, he needs to stay on the

131
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 3: outside looking in so that if Usman suddenly retires or

132
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 3: moves up and wait, or if Tremaiah just kicks the

133
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: damn door in suddenly, Colby's.

134
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: Still right there.

135
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 3: Almost to be fair in a Yo Wanna type situation

136
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: where this big gun just waiting, but he doesn't have

137
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 3: to sit out. Luke him planting the seeds for a

138
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: poorier fight, him knowing that if he can just keep

139
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 3: throwing out that bait at the McGregor types that you know,

140
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 3: at the DS, types of the guys that he knows

141
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 3: could make him big fights. I can't see him losing

142
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 3: any of those in this you know, greater BMF sort

143
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 3: of gray area between two divisions here. But I wonder, though,

144
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 3: what you're a spirit of your question was what if

145
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: they try you know, what if they try to push

146
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: him into at the UFC. You know, you saw Dana

147
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 3: and Colby didn't even shake hands on stage at the

148
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: ceremonial way in, and you know, you know from day

149
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,240
Speaker 3: this comments that you know, he's like, look, Koby's a nactual,

150
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like he's a great fighter,

151
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 3: and we we deal with him and we make it work.

152
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,600
Speaker 4: But uh, you know, I don't know, because I think

153
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 4: they're realized.

154
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 3: They'd have to be if the UFC, they have to

155
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 3: be smart enough to realize that he may not.

156
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: Be an a premier pay per view brand.

157
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: But he's building and has built now two fights with

158
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: Usman and now this one.

159
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 4: You know, a legitimate following.

160
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: I don't think you'd want to stuff that if you're

161
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 3: UFC and force him back into some kind of number

162
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 3: one contender fight. I think that you can make this

163
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: type of fight that we saw him against a fan

164
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: friendly action guy a few times over.

165
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 1: Luke my read on this PC, I don't wonder if

166
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 1: you agree. Is they you know, it's the it's the uh,

167
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: it's the old press conference. Was it was? It was

168
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: it singletary, No, that was I want winners, But it

169
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: was they are who we thought they were.

170
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 4: Dennis Green, it was yeah, that's right, Yes, yes.

171
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: They are who we thought they were. Uh, you know,

172
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: Jorge was probably the better striker, although at times certainly

173
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: the volume and pressure on the feet from Colby snuck through.

174
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: But it was really obviously as we know, he had

175
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: six of fifteen takedowns. In the fifth round, he had

176
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 1: four minutes and thirty four seconds of control time, really

177
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: putting it on him in that fifth and final frame,

178
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: getting two of two takedowns right just on him like

179
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: White on Rice. And there were these other moments where

180
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: he got dropped briefly in the fourth. Obviously, I think

181
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 1: Maswodol had a decent second round, but in general the

182
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: fight just kind of played along the path where it's

183
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: like they're probably know each other really well, Kolby is

184
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: going to be the better wrestler and will grind out

185
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: positions on route to a decision victory that was relatively

186
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: ho home. That's exactly what you got. I do think

187
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: we saw a couple of new wrinkles from Colby on

188
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: the ground where he would play in guard and not

189
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: really try to pass and then do more ground and pound.

190
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 1: That has been something that has plagued him a little bit.

191
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 1: Against Lawler, he had almost no ground and pound because

192
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: he was so worried about controlling position. This time, you see,

193
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: I felt like he managed different positions that gave him

194
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: different tools in different scenarios. That's better than being one

195
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: note about it all the time. So I did see

196
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: some growth, but I just I mean here's the thing.

197
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: We had talked about this before the fight. He didn't

198
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: have any wins over anyone existing before Saturday, over a

199
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: current top I think ten or fifteen ranked welterweight. Now

200
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: he does have one. He is thirty four, he's the

201
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 1: best he's ever been. It's just here's where I can't come.

202
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: I can't I can't decide what's going to happen, or

203
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:21,040
Speaker 1: I can't figure it out. I think there's a strong chance, yes,

204
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 1: of course, Listen Poitier could take the fight, but I

205
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,600
Speaker 1: have a feeling he wants to deny Colby that and

206
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: by the way, that's a terrible fight for Dustin Poarier.

207
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: I don't like his chances in that one.

208
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: I think Partia is And those early odds were like

209
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 3: minus four hundred Covington I saw that were posted yesterday.

210
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:37,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that might be even generous, to be

211
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: quite honest with you. Colby's bigger and has that skill

212
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: set we just saw. So for me, the thing is,

213
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: it's like, did Colby have a great, strong performance, Not

214
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: a doubt about it. He looked really good. He deserved

215
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: that victory, clean, easy, minus a couple of hiccups here

216
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: or there. But I guess there's still these questions about me.

217
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,000
Speaker 1: I assume a guy who gives Kamaru really sort of

218
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: takes that to facto number two spot. But there are

219
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: there's this new, entire fresh wave of welterweights that Colby

220
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: has not really put his hands on yet or vice versa,

221
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: and I think that remains unresolved.

222
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 3: True, absolutely, And look, if tremaiav wins his next fight,

223
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 3: you know, I think you should get the title shot.

224
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 4: And I've said that that he could. You could already

225
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 4: have given.

226
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 3: It to him, which is somewhat you know, people, Okay,

227
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: I get it, but you know, don't be crazy.

228
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: But I really believe that.

229
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 3: If it doesn't go that direction, if if Kamaro beats

230
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 3: Leon Edwards and then tries to either take a little

231
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 3: bit of time off or or whatever, if you end

232
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 3: up seeing Tremaiah versus Colby Covington, Luke, that's gonna be

233
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 3: I mean, that could be another number. Even though I'm saying, hey, Colby,

234
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 3: I don't think you have to go back to the

235
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 3: well and try to become the number one contender because

236
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: I'm not even sure there's an appetite for a third

237
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 3: fight with you and usman. You know, go stay a

238
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 3: pay per view trash talking action guy even though you're

239
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 3: you know, really cringe. I mean, I don't mean action guy,

240
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 3: because he fights to his strengths.

241
00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 1: You know.

242
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 3: It's like wrote a story about it on CBS Sports yesterday.

243
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 4: It's like, you know, it's not the Mayweather thing exactly.

244
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 3: You know, Mayweather would bark and get you mad at them,

245
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 3: but then have these brilliant, defensive, you know, kind of

246
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 3: boring ish at Tomes victories. But you know it's there's

247
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 3: some smoking mirrors in that with Covington of making himself

248
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 3: feel like he's a bigger brand than he actually is.

249
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: He's smart at that.

250
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 3: And as much as I'm saying, hey, go back and

251
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 3: just make money and just make big fights if they

252
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 3: if if it's not next for Ustman versus Tremaiah for

253
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 3: any reason, Tamiah versus Colby is I mean, God, Luke,

254
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: that's a that's just a hell of a damn fight.

255
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 3: That would tell us so much in so many ways

256
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: about both.

257
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: He really what or a Gilbert Burns fight. A Gilbert

258
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 1: Burns fight would tell us a lot too, To be honest, Ah,

259
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: I grant that Tremaiah one has a certain mystique to

260
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,440
Speaker 1: it that we couldn't ever really ignore. Last question on Colby,

261
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 1: then we'll talk about masdof for a brief moment in

262
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: your mind. Where does he rank among most popular active

263
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: UFC fighters?

264
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 4: You talking about Colby? Yes, in terms of their potential

265
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 4: pay per.

266
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 1: View brand, Yeah, like whether they're Saturday.

267
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 4: How their values their value?

268
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 3: And look, there are different kinds of pay per view

269
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 3: values A side and B side, you know, as opponents.

270
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: Colby's largely playing the opponent role up to this point.

271
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: And you can even argue even though he was the

272
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 3: higher ranked guy, which is why his name was first

273
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 3: in the promotion. I didn't realize that A lot of

274
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 3: people you know, came at me and updated me on that,

275
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 3: so thank you. Is he now an A side? I

276
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 3: think is an important question. And if you do consider

277
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 3: him a potential A side, I don't know.

278
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: Look before I.

279
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: Answer your question, he seems to have the formula down

280
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 3: at how to be a great B side, right, Like,

281
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: match him with anybody, he'll trash talk the shit out

282
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: of them. He may end up, you know, probably winning

283
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 3: because these seems like you know, he's not fighting guys

284
00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 3: on the equal level if he's going to stay in

285
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 3: this lane.

286
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 4: But in that regard, it's Connor number one.

287
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 5: Is it?

288
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: Is it?

289
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 4: John Jones number two?

290
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: Is he's up? There?

291
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 5: Is he?

292
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: Kamaramber.

293
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 3: You've got certain guys like like Pourier or Holloway who

294
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: need the right matchup.

295
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 4: They need that right dance partner.

296
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: But given that Covington might be I mean, you can

297
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: make the argument that Covington's the best pay per view

298
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 3: B side of the moment, like he's the the number

299
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: one guy in that category.

300
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: Look, yes, I think that's probably accurate. Whether he remains

301
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: to be the number two welterweight over time, I guess

302
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: we'll have to see. Let's talk about Jorge masvit ALBC.

303
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: To me, this was really I mean, I guess you

304
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: could say this about the knockout loss to Kamaru, but

305
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: it was so not you know, I didn't have it instantaneously,

306
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: but the fight was relatively short. This was the first

307
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: time where okay, granted the guy had to fight Colby Covington,

308
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: who is potentially the second best welterweight on the planet.

309
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: You know, we all know how good he is. I

310
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: thought Jorgey looked a little bit old, not terrible, not

311
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 1: over the hill, but he was wearing it physically in

312
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: a way where I don't know that he ever Positionally

313
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: it didn't look the same, but just from body language, speed, nimbleness,

314
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: the ability to scramble through, he just looked like he

315
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 1: was thirty seven. Was starting to play a again, not

316
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: the determining factor, but playing a factor. BC. Do you

317
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: agree and where does he go from here?

318
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 3: It's hard for me to disagree based on how I

319
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 3: perceive it because it's it's related to that. It's just

320
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: sort of like Luke, like, did I expect a better version? Yeah,

321
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 3: I mean I predicted him. I was like, look, it's

322
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,960
Speaker 3: not likely, but I just have this feeling. And there

323
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 3: were moments in this fight, even though this fight goes

324
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 3: down as a one sided fight, they were particular moments

325
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 3: and he sort of nailed it right the fourth round

326
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: punch in which he dropped Kolby to a knee briefly,

327
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 3: and it's like, dude, follow that up mixed with I

328
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 3: thought he won the second round. I thought he had

329
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 3: moments in both rounds one in three where it didn't.

330
00:14:46,440 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: It wasn't enough to win around or make that argument.

331
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 3: But you're like if he can keep making these adjustments

332
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,560
Speaker 3: or stay in that lane, there's something here.

333
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 4: So all of that was true.

334
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 3: I think he did put in the best training camp,

335
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 3: he knew how for this version of him, and I

336
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 3: think he did have a good mix of explosiveness with

337
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 3: with trying to set it up, but there was no

338
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: next level magic to be had.

339
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: And I think more importantly, Luke.

340
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: He doesn't have the stamina for five round championship elite

341
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 3: level fighting, and certainly not at this point. And you

342
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 3: know when I mentioned I think, you know he had

343
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 3: the best training camp, he knows how to have.

344
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 4: He's a guy.

345
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: I even with that twenty nineteen which now is like

346
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 3: this aberration moment where the perfect version of him came

347
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: form Luke and then it's easy to mythologize that and

348
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 3: overrated of course. And I didn't even think he should

349
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 3: have won the Fighter of the Year that I thought

350
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,520
Speaker 3: it was out of Sonia. But you know that's not

351
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: to take away from him here. You get the point

352
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 3: is I think that's always held him back, Luke from

353
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: from really getting to the highest level. I don't I'm

354
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 3: not sure he's fit. He ever truly figured out how

355
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 3: to get the best of him physically, stamina wise, cardio wise,

356
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 3: so that there's never a question. And I know that's

357
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 3: that's hard for a guy like him who lives and

358
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 3: dies with the explosion and that that's gonna you know,

359
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 3: pull out your guess tank, but especially in that fourth round,

360
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 3: to not be able to follow up on the moment

361
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 3: that you wait for. You set up that moment the

362
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: whole damn fight, and and he he had nothing.

363
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 4: To to to pour on that.

364
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: Luke.

365
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 4: Uh, it's disappointing.

366
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 3: Because he did come in with the eye of the tiger,

367
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 3: I thought, but that the fuel wasn't there.

368
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: This this this sort of this this particular moment that

369
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: Jorgesen reminds me a little bit of like the pre

370
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: explosion Jorge, where granted he's having you know, he had

371
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: a bad loss in the one prior to this, and

372
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: then this one was pretty dominant, so in some ways

373
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: the losses look worse. In fact, that's what that's what

374
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: I was gonna make, Like the things that troubled him

375
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: before are still troubling him now. Granted we're at a

376
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: more elite level, so I don't think that the old

377
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 1: guys who used to trouble him if they were still

378
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: around or whatever, would still do that, or you know,

379
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: if he had the skill set back then it wouldn't

380
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: be the same. But I'm saying that as he's graduated through,

381
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: yes he's gotten better, but the challenges have gotten tougher.

382
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,480
Speaker 1: So that problem, while he has I'm sure it worked

383
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: Dilla to address it, it still kind of holds him back.

384
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,679
Speaker 1: Which is these grapplers who just are relentless with it.

385
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: They don't necessarily sub him out, they don't necessarily beat

386
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: him up too bad, but they definitely neutralize him. And

387
00:17:11,119 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: he just looked neutralized. And then this is the difference

388
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: we see in previous fights. He looked neutralized, but there

389
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: was a little bit more scrambling, a little bit more activity,

390
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 1: a little bit more hustle. This time that part was

391
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: missing too. Again, give kat Kolby for taking it out

392
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: of him, but it just felt like he was wearing

393
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: it in ways I hadn't seen him wear it under

394
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: these kinds of conditions previously.

395
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would agree with that, Luke. And and you

396
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 4: wanted more from him.

397
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: You wanted him to take that ultimate chance and risk

398
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 3: pouring it all out to win, and you know it,

399
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 3: it is it the Is it the lack of elite

400
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 3: level stamina that held him back from even trying that?

401
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 4: Or was it an unwillingness? Luke, I'm not sure.

402
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:54,359
Speaker 3: I saw that unwillingness in the first Usmann fight, and

403
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 3: I was hypercritical, even though it was a short camp

404
00:17:56,720 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: and he had that built in excuse I don't you

405
00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: know the second Houseman fight, he seemed more willing to

406
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: let it go. And look, you just saw what happened.

407
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 3: You ran into the one of the greatest fighters of

408
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 3: all time. To be fair, I didn't see that that

409
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 3: mindset that is needed to create the Askrin moment.

410
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 4: You're right, you know, you know what I'm saying, Luke.

411
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm asking a lot of this guy right

412
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: for this moment. But this is probably if we're if

413
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 3: we're being honest, the best fighter. Jorge is gonna fight

414
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 3: for the.

415
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 4: Best of his rest of his career.

416
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 3: He'll make bigger fights, maybe more fans, you know, McGregor.

417
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: I mean, he's always going to be a sexy guy

418
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 3: to throw in with anybody, but this is probably the

419
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 3: last great fighter that he will have fought, and I

420
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:40,199
Speaker 3: don't know if he gave himself the best chance to win.

421
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: Luke, you're talking about that fourth round or whatever round

422
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: it was. Was it the fourth, I'm talking about four.

423
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 4: It was the fourth.

424
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 3: But I'm saying, while it's easy to just say ah

425
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 3: itt end of the gas, I don't know if he

426
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 3: had the desire to risk it all and try to

427
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:54,880
Speaker 3: finish him there.

428
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: It was.

429
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 4: It was too safe in the end.

430
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 1: It's interesting. I mean, he certainly regretted it. In his

431
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: postfight comments, he said that he thought after he heard

432
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 1: him like that that he didn't want to just jump

433
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: in because he thought Kolbe was going to shoot on

434
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: him and he didn't want to give it up. But

435
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: in the end he let the guy off the hook,

436
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 1: and he was right about it. He was like, it's

437
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 1: only about a five second window where I had to pounce,

438
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: and he didn't, and he ultimately paid for it. Last

439
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:18,360
Speaker 1: thing on this we'll talk about the comin event. Bec

440
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 1: Do you think that does Masvidoal's loss? It hurts his stock,

441
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: But I did see an interesting wrinkle which means people think,

442
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: because his relative ability has declined, that it makes a

443
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: Connor fight more likely, because now Connor has a better

444
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: chance against him than maybe he did previously. Agree or disagree.

445
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, And a lot of people are like, well,

446
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: if Mosville is showing you at thirty seven that he's

447
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,439
Speaker 3: not of the elite level anymore, and you know, he

448
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: got pretty close in twenty nineteen, he got above it,

449
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 3: I thought, But then you know, why would he sign

450
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:53,119
Speaker 3: a brand new contract.

451
00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: Well, he's going to be so again.

452
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: He's going to be so damn marketable against everybody, and

453
00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,040
Speaker 3: it's going to go in the predictable arc, you know

454
00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 3: what I mean. There's going to be fight in the

455
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,959
Speaker 3: beginning that he can win, in big fights that he's

456
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: going to be a part of where he may not

457
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,360
Speaker 3: have a chance, and it's selling his name. And then

458
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: eventually he you know, as long as he'll stay, he'll

459
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 3: he'll be a great guy to match against guys coming

460
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 3: up that you really need to test. And I think

461
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 3: in the in the short period, Luke, there's a few

462
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,119
Speaker 3: different potential pay per view bangers. I mean it's not

463
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 3: just you. I mean, you know, the Nate rematch. We

464
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 3: may not have this massive up appetite for it, but

465
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 3: that's that's a fan friendly fight to make as well.

466
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: Certainly is no doubt about it. So we'll have to

467
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,200
Speaker 1: see what happens next.

468
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,959
Speaker 4: And what about him and Poorier? Luke No, him and Poorier.

469
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: I think they're boys. I don't think. I mean, it

470
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: could be a big fight to your point.

471
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 4: But yeah, but they are too close. You're right to

472
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 4: too close, too close.

473
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: I don't think they want it. So we'll have to see.

474
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to the co main event BC

475
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: half Eel dos Anos took on not to Moykano grandam

476
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 1: Moikano for five days notice, had to travel from South

477
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: to North America. It was a tough assignment and it

478
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: only got worse from there. That was an absolute shellacking.

479
00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: Now credit to Moykano in a level of tough that

480
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: is difficult to discriby. Nearly get stopped in the third.

481
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: I couldn't believe that they came out for the fifth

482
00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: nearly gets stopped there or for remark, Goddard says, you

483
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: got thirty seconds to turn this around before I call it.

484
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 1: But he still fought the entire twenty five minutes again,

485
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: made a decent account of himself in the fifth all

486
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 1: things considered, but it was it was no way he

487
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: was gonna win DC. Should that fight have been stopped.

488
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should have been.

489
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 3: It really should have been, because he had already proved

490
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 3: his point and when look, I got it wrong in

491
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 3: predicting that Moikana would get the upset here. But what

492
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 3: I didn't get wrong was predicting that Moikana would even

493
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 3: with the challenges of this being a five round fight

494
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 3: on short notice, which you know, it makes no freaking

495
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: sense why this was a five round fight under any circumstance. Really,

496
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 3: I mean, even then, Diaz one shouldn't have been to

497
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 3: be fair. Yes, there are certain fights, especially number one

498
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 3: contender fights, that sometimes you do wish could have been

499
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: five rounds, but this wasn't necessarily that when you add

500
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 3: in the short notice. But even with that, Luke I

501
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 3: was brave enough to pick him because I felt like

502
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 3: that he knew this was his moment. So when you've

503
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 3: got a wild horse like that, a guy that has

504
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: so much pride and is willing to go through it

505
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: all the fact that they made him to be fair,

506
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: you know, you could even argue is as big of

507
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: this reward would have been short noticed pay per view

508
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:17,360
Speaker 3: coll main event beaten a legend like RDA.

509
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 4: You know, you can make a couple of leaps in

510
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 4: the rankings.

511
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 3: Wouldn't it have even been worth it to land that

512
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 3: fury rally in the late fifth And I know there's

513
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 3: certain you know, Tougher just bleed fans that are like, well,

514
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 3: see the fact that they didn't stop it. You know,

515
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 3: we almost created this crazy ending and that justified it.

516
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 3: It didn't justify it. The body language was in the

517
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,160
Speaker 3: scary mode. He had already been concussed, and you could

518
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 3: have stopped it. I think two rounds earlier during that

519
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 3: flurry where his head snap back and by the time

520
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 3: we got to where the deformation of the face and

521
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:49,680
Speaker 3: the eye and then you add in that cage side

522
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 3: doctor And I don't have his name at the moment, Luke,

523
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 3: and I've I'm not here to you know, absolutely crap

524
00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 3: on him because that's a tough job and he's been

525
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 3: a high profile one for a while.

526
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 4: But to just almost throw his.

527
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: Hands in there and be like, yeah, you know, that's cool,

528
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 3: you can do what you want, you know, to the

529
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 3: ref and basically say I don't really have a recommendation

530
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:06,959
Speaker 3: for you. That's really what he said without saying it.

531
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 3: You know, I don't really care really, you know what

532
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,399
Speaker 3: I mean? You want to go with it. Go ahead,

533
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to put all the pressure on you, Mark Goddard,

534
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 3: which it just doesn't make any sense. That's a role

535
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 3: with deep responsibility, Luke, and he was just too whole

536
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,399
Speaker 3: hum about it. And Luke, I look, the guys on

537
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:27,120
Speaker 3: the broadcast nailed it. That fifth round flurry from Moikana

538
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: was only really possible because our Da showed humanity and

539
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: took his foot off the gas and didn't want to

540
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,159
Speaker 3: essentially take a chunk out of Moikano's career in a

541
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 3: fight that was already decided. And I think, you know,

542
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: I think Wakata got pissed and he could smell that

543
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: and that's why you sort of had that finish the

544
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,679
Speaker 3: way it was. But damn, dude, no, this shouldn't happened, Luke,

545
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 3: there were there was at least three. I thought, can't

546
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: turn away moments of it needs to be stopped right now.

547
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:55,520
Speaker 3: And when you once you get to you know, want

548
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 3: you missed it or you wanted to be an exciting fight.

549
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: We're up to three. We're up to this guy may

550
00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 3: not see again. And if this keeps going, I mean,

551
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 3: what are we doing?

552
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 1: I just don't understand how we get to these positions.

553
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 1: What are people looking at where they're like, I'm not

554
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 1: sure what to do here. He merely gets stopped in

555
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: the third. The fourth round, for the most part, wasn't

556
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 1: a battering up until like the very end of the

557
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 1: fourth round, in which case he was a battering because

558
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 1: that was when he got sliced open and further demolished.

559
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 1: And he goes back out for the fifth and the

560
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 1: doctor's looking at him and looking at him and looking

561
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: at him, and I don't you know, I don't know

562
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: what the right answer is in all of these cases.

563
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,520
Speaker 1: I'm not a medical professional and I'm not a licensed referee,

564
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: and I think Mark Goddard was trying to do something

565
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,920
Speaker 1: because he was like, you know, the thirty second warning

566
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: and whatnot. But dude, it's just I can't believe we

567
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: keep having to have these conversations event after event after event.

568
00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 1: The level of risk analysis here by corners consistently at

569
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: the elite level in mixed martial arts is poor. BC.

570
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about it later.

571
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 4: Trickle.

572
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: Latito fought on de Zone over the weekend and his

573
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: opponent Ramirez martinezxcuse me, Martinez Martinez. Yes, I was thinking

574
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,400
Speaker 1: about the Padraza fight. But Martinez, dude through halfway through

575
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 1: that fight, and by the eighth or ninth round, he's

576
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:13,920
Speaker 1: not cut. I mean, he's losing this fight pretty badly,

577
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: but he's not cut. He hasn't been dropped. He's firing

578
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,600
Speaker 1: back at least somewhat. They consistently talk in that fight

579
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 1: about whether it needs to be stopped. Let me explain

580
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: something to you, folks. The level of abuse that Martinez

581
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,359
Speaker 1: took in that fight relative to Moiicano is a minute

582
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: fraction a minute fraction. And even in boxing, they were like,

583
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, this one's looking bad for him

584
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: for different reasons, not that it was necessarily an epic beating,

585
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: but that Martinez just really had no hope for victory.

586
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: Mma is a little bit different, and I understand BC

587
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 1: making a different calculus about chances because mma is so volatile. However,

588
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 1: if you nearly get stopped in the third, you lost

589
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: the fourth, you have just one round, The doctor's giving

590
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: you the old evil eye, the referee is telling you

591
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 1: have thirty seconds, letting the fight continue to that point,

592
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: what purpose could it possibly serve? The guy came in

593
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 1: on five days, We're going to be five days notice

594
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 1: from South to North America. Five round fight granted up

595
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: aweight class or whatever was catchway one sixty. Dude, his

596
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: chances of winning that were slim to none to begin with.

597
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 1: After the third and after the fourth it was infinitesimally small.

598
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: It is not rational or frankly all that ethical to

599
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 1: send him back out in the fifth.

600
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I disagree that his chances of winning were

601
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 3: We're as low as you say, because he's an extremely

602
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 3: talented guy. No, he didn't get the proper training camp,

603
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 3: but like I mean, and you know, we saw the

604
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 3: depths of what he's made of, and obviously that was

605
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 3: the scary part. But I don't blame his corner even

606
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 3: though they were wrong, because there's so much emotion built

607
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 3: into that that that's why we have the extra fence

608
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 3: right around the lion cage. That's why we have the

609
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 3: doctor and the commission and in the referee. So you know,

610
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 3: it felt like as a as a team they failed Moycatto,

611
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:07,280
Speaker 3: you know, and that's why.

612
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 1: There's blame to go around. I don't think that's fair.

613
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 1: I guess my point is, BC, you've been around as

614
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 1: long as I have. We're roughly the same age man,

615
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,359
Speaker 1: not just in boxing and MMA. How many times have

616
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: you seen guys take fights like, not not exactly like this,

617
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 1: but put in situations where a fight should have been

618
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 1: stopped and it was and it was brutal or whatever,

619
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: and then later on in the career they're like, ah,

620
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: maybe it should have been stopped. And a lot of

621
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,119
Speaker 1: times those guys don't have the money at the end.

622
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: What condo. By the way, express and clear about his

623
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,119
Speaker 1: need for more money is like burning desire to finally

624
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: have some big paychecks. He got half of one here.

625
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if the UFC took care of him

626
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: and after the fact, I guess we'll have to see.

627
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 3: Ana said at the press conference, Dana basically did the

628
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 3: BC without saying it with Dana was like, hey John Nash, Yeah.

629
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 4: We're gonna We're not gonna tax him on it.

630
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 3: We' gonna give him a giant bag, probably three of them,

631
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: just filled with cash. I mean, look, that's what I mean,

632
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 3: not only for keeping the show on the road, but

633
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: good god, man.

634
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: Good good And he needs time off too. Man has

635
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 1: taken brutal knockouts before too. That's the other part. It's like, dude,

636
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: just what chance does someone have, even as talented as

637
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: Hanato Waikano, when you've got an experienced, super skilled opponent

638
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 1: beating the fuck out of you through four rounds, it's

639
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 1: irrational to send them out one last thing on this

640
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,520
Speaker 1: SPECU and we'll move along. Which is this is the

641
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: point I made on the postfight show. Everyone keeps saying, well,

642
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 1: the corner knows them best, and the corner knows them best. Right,

643
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: the corner does know them best. We don't know them

644
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: better than the corner. But clearly it is obviously true

645
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: at this point that that knowledge of that fighter and

646
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 1: that relationship to that fighter, it is not sufficient to

647
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 1: make more informed and credible choices about when to throw

648
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,880
Speaker 1: the towel, and in fact, it biases them in the

649
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: opposite direction and towards their strengths, away from their weaknesses.

650
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 3: Absolutely, in some cases, the emotions too high or just

651
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 3: the look this is my boy a lot, you know,

652
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 3: a lot of times the father trainers are the ones

653
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 3: that that they'll throw the towel the latest, right, you know,

654
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 3: and and there's a lot of you know, it's a

655
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 3: lot of emotion there. But again that's why you have

656
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,880
Speaker 3: the built in fence around it. By the way, r

657
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 3: DA Luke still just a fucking legend, and that you know,

658
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 3: and the fact that he did seem to show his countryman, like,

659
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 3: you know, some mercy in round five. I mean, that's

660
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: just the that's the chef's kiss to like, that's a

661
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: real man right there, Luke.

662
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 1: And by the way, if you don't think he was

663
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,520
Speaker 1: showing mercy, go look at the fourth and fifth round

664
00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: of what RDA did to Petis. Let me tell you

665
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: very clearly, RDA was putting his foot on the brake

666
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: on this one, lasting on RDA BC. Where is he

667
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: in this division? Because that was actually a good win.

668
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:31,320
Speaker 1: I mean it was you know, it wasn't what it

669
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,760
Speaker 1: was supposed to be. Doesn't get the physive quality win,

670
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: but he did what he was supposed to.

671
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 3: Where is he I would say he's in probably one

672
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 3: of the top positions where if a man, you know,

673
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,560
Speaker 3: a title opportunity falls through, somebody gets you know, COVID

674
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 3: or somebody gets whatever, that that he's going to be

675
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 3: the call for emergency, which is obviously not a bad

676
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 3: place to be into cash in big paydays. But you know,

677
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 3: he said after he'd love a title shot next.

678
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: It's not what he's going to get. It depends, Luke.

679
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 3: He's showing you that he's still in a form where

680
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 3: you just don't need to make legend versus legend fight,

681
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 3: like he might be one more win away from a

682
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,360
Speaker 3: from a real title shot, not a last minute one,

683
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 3: not a hey, well you know, former champion.

684
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 4: We love the name he's he's still playing. He's still

685
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 4: in the game, Luke.

686
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:15,360
Speaker 3: So I don't want to see him against the Tony

687
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 3: Ferguson level, you know, I want I want to see

688
00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 3: him against somebody right freaking there where Off the top

689
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 3: of your head, what would make rankings wise the best

690
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 3: matchup here, the smartest matchup if you are looking at

691
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 3: it as that way.

692
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 4: That like, no, he's still you know, one of the

693
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:33,320
Speaker 4: three or four best in this division at the moment.

694
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: Chandler, Chandler him, Chandler is ranked fifth, he's ranked six.

695
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: That might change a little bit. Seven is hook Seven

696
00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: is Ferguson, Eight is hooker. You could do hooker, but

697
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:44,840
Speaker 1: you would be going backwards at that point.

698
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 4: So RDA Chandler.

699
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Luke, Yeah, that's like that's like you

700
00:30:51,920 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 3: know when when that's like in winter time when you

701
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 3: step into the hot tub, you know, like snow's coming down,

702
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 3: and it's like, oh my god.

703
00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 4: This is gonna be great, but it's so cold, and

704
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 4: then you're.

705
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 3: Like, oh shit, that's everything that I want.

706
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 1: ANYBC, true or false, that's a different fight if it's

707
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: five rounds versus three rounds, Right, that's a much more

708
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:16,719
Speaker 1: winnable fight in either direction if you expand it out

709
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: to main event level.

710
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, that's a great point. And no matter how

711
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: many rounds you said it for, that first one is

712
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,960
Speaker 4: going to be the best thing that ever happened to you, Luke.

713
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 4: So just you know, just get ready, all right, all.

714
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 1: Right, fair enough, we go now to the feature fight

715
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 1: of the UFC two to seventy two main card. How

716
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 1: about this. This guy was the biggest standout performer to

717
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,800
Speaker 1: me on the entire main card, Bryce Mitchell. He handled

718
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: Edson Barbos. He had a thirty twenty six to thirty

719
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: twenty five on one of the cards, and I can't

720
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: say I necessarily disagree with that. BC. He went four

721
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,719
Speaker 1: for four on takedowns. That's the most efficient and the

722
00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 1: most takedowns Barbos has ever given up in a UFC fight.

723
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 1: Kabib did that, but had to get I think thirteen

724
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 1: attempts to do it. Now, granted, Habib had a lot

725
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: more ground and pound than he did, which explains the

726
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,720
Speaker 1: ability for Barbosa to move. But either way you look

727
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: at it, dude, he made smart decisions. He executed on

728
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: a game plan, He stayed out of trouble, he took

729
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: minimal damage. He dropped Barbosa and completely controlled him on

730
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 1: the ground. Dude, Bryce Mitchell's a star, is he not.

731
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 4: He just made the leap.

732
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 3: You just saw it, you know, And and damn he's

733
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 3: got the motor and he's got the technique and the craft,

734
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 3: but he's got something special in the intangibles department. I

735
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: think that we, or me personally, I own a little

736
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 3: bit of an apology. Look that that that I had

737
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 3: never interviewed him before. In that interview he did with

738
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 3: Ariel Hawani was you know, headline producing for a reason, Luke.

739
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 4: It was aggressive, it was you know, it's a man standing.

740
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 3: Up for his beliefs, which which you you know, you

741
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 3: may or may not have respected, but it was It

742
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 3: allowed me and a lot of people to paint a

743
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 3: picture of who this guy might be. But yet i'd

744
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 3: heard everyone say, oh no, this kid is is incredible,

745
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 3: a gentleman like you know, this kid is a genuine person.

746
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 3: I think the build up to the fight, meaning his

747
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: fight week interviews and unfortunately we didn't get the chance

748
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 3: to connect at the end and the post fight you

749
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: know press conference if you if you listen to it,

750
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: this is he's an interesting human being, Luke. But I

751
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 3: think he's solid and yeah, nobody you know, there's there's

752
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: a side to him, right, but I think you know,

753
00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: for for where he needs to be emotionally to climb

754
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: this ladder and take on the killers that are there

755
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 3: given his age and relative lack of experience against the

756
00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:34,280
Speaker 3: elite level. Now we're starting to get there, right but uh,

757
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: you know, relative lack of it.

758
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 4: He's got a a He's.

759
00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 3: Got an old soul poise to him, Luke. That is

760
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 3: that is really a big part of why he can

761
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,280
Speaker 3: go in there and execute a performance like this, knowing

762
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: that Barbosa is dangerous at every second, but knowing also

763
00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: he's have to put a pace on him to wear.

764
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 4: Him out and take away that danger. And he did it.

765
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:55,560
Speaker 4: He did it perfectly.

766
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 3: And in Barbosa, I think you're starting to see him go,

767
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 3: you know, the little bit old man came out of him. Unfortunately,

768
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,479
Speaker 3: lack of output was really the thing, you know they

769
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 3: talked about on the broadcast, too comfortable to stay on

770
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 3: his back.

771
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 4: Some of that true, but it.

772
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 3: Made it easier because Bryce Mitchell was going for it, Luke,

773
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,319
Speaker 3: And you know, I got the Camo trunks and at

774
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 3: least he's showing us that there's a few different sides

775
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 3: to him as a person, and I think a lot

776
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 3: of that is also what makes him a great fighter, Luke.

777
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, the guy has his own ideas about

778
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: the world that don't align with mine. But that's probably true.

779
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,120
Speaker 1: You could say for almost every single UFC fighter they

780
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 1: see the world quite differently than most of us, and

781
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: so you know, that's sort of a different conversation. But

782
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,040
Speaker 1: when it comes to the fighter, I just don't know

783
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: what people could possibly not that he's a perfect fighter.

784
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:48,319
Speaker 1: No fighter is. But that was a sensational performance PC.

785
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: I had people saying that this was a setup fight

786
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 1: for Bryce Mitchell. Are you fucking people insane? Number one,

787
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: they were ranked tenth and eleventh, So by virtue of

788
00:34:58,000 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 1: just that, I think Mitchell was the eleventh by the way,

789
00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,359
Speaker 1: so dis virtue of that you often see guys who

790
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:04,560
Speaker 1: are right next to each other a paired. Moreover, let

791
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,479
Speaker 1: me explain something to you. If you think that never

792
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: before in UFC history have so many fighters routinely declined fights.

793
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: We have it on pretty good authority that it's now

794
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: more than ever, and so that makes it difficult to

795
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: find fights. Now. I don't know exactly the origin of

796
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: this one, how much they have to play games with it.

797
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 1: But BC, while I grant I'm in a complete agreement

798
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 1: with you that Barbosad definitely showed some signs of age

799
00:35:26,800 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: and a little bit of shop warningness. But the point is,

800
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:33,520
Speaker 1: in terms of the level of ability, it was clear

801
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: that Bryce had not fought someone as credentialed, who was

802
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,920
Speaker 1: as battle tested against the very best before. Even if

803
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,879
Speaker 1: there may have been on paper some stylistic advantages, that's

804
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:44,799
Speaker 1: why you didn't get a finish. It's actually hard to

805
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:46,600
Speaker 1: do that against a guy like Barbosa. Even though some

806
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: have the point I'm trying to make her ESBC, this

807
00:35:48,920 --> 00:35:51,520
Speaker 1: idea that like he was gifted an opponent to look

808
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: good in is fucking stupid and I'm totally insane.

809
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 4: Did you hear the.

810
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,160
Speaker 3: Sound of those first couple leg strikes that Barboso in

811
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 3: the first round with that, Mitchell afterwards was like, look,

812
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,080
Speaker 3: my game plan was to check those and after that

813
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,680
Speaker 3: first one there, you know, there was not going to

814
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 3: be a need to ever try that again. I mean like,

815
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: like that was just dude, this come on. But again, Bryce,

816
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,200
Speaker 3: Mitchell had to show us that he actually is looking

817
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:20,719
Speaker 3: to be potentially a great fighter in order to control

818
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 3: somebody like Barbosa like that, because if he wasn't that good,

819
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,040
Speaker 3: Barbosa's in that fight and you know, probably has a

820
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 3: conversation on the scorecards at the end of it.

821
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:36,000
Speaker 1: I absolutely agree that speaking of Barbosa, this is probably

822
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: I don't know if any one fight BC represents the end.

823
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,759
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no end until he decides to hang

824
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: them up. But what I'm trying to say is you

825
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: look at this performance, you look at the move down

826
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: to one forty five. I just he wanted to go

827
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: to one forty five to get a title and Jose

828
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: Alda went down to one thirty five and obviously is

829
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 1: in a very different circumstance down there. I appreciate that

830
00:36:57,120 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: Edson Barbosa has wrung out the sponge to get all

831
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 1: the water in it. But BC, I think it's out

832
00:37:03,239 --> 00:37:05,799
Speaker 1: of water. The idea at this point that he can

833
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,799
Speaker 1: make a title push at one forty five, I just

834
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,640
Speaker 1: don't think there's any evidence for it. Now. That doesn't

835
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 1: mean he has to retire tomorrow or he's some kind

836
00:37:12,760 --> 00:37:14,880
Speaker 1: of scrub. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying, if

837
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: your goal is title, I just don't see a viable

838
00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 1: path for it.

839
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:20,560
Speaker 4: No, No, it's it's not gonna happen.

840
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,879
Speaker 3: And this, look, this was that opponent that was coming

841
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:25,800
Speaker 3: up that was gonna tell us that, and we learned

842
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 3: it and it is what it is.

843
00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 4: And you know, it's like he's not retiring tomorrow. But

844
00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 4: I often think of like what would.

845
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: What is the legacy of a guy like this, Like

846
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 3: he's so damn well respected Barbosa, because he's fought everybody

847
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: and he's always been game as shit. I mean that seriously,

848
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 3: That beating he took against a Bee Luke, like that

849
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: was one of those like is this necessary?

850
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:45,560
Speaker 4: Should we? You know what I mean? Like that was

851
00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 4: just ridiculous.

852
00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: But reinventing his body, reinventing his game, if he wanted

853
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 3: to just keep doing it because he loves it, and

854
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 3: you know, maybe bank the biggest paydays you can probably get,

855
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 3: which is what happens when you build a name at

856
00:37:57,719 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 3: the end of your run. Moving back up to life, wait,

857
00:38:00,280 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 3: there's a there's a lot of fun action fights you

858
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 3: can make, Luke, if you really wanted to.

859
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:07,440
Speaker 1: And you can take take an easier fight. Bryce Mitchell

860
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: is a tough fight. Don't take fights like that. Take

861
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: an easier fight if you just want to say, because

862
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,760
Speaker 1: Barbosa can still beat guys at this level. That seems

863
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,800
Speaker 1: to me true, but just not guys like Bryce Mitchell.

864
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: That is.

865
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,719
Speaker 3: Can I say something, Luke, and I want you to.

866
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 3: I just want to see a reaction. You know, maybe

867
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:24,880
Speaker 3: maybe I'm.

868
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 4: A genius or maybe you're just like all right, you know,

869
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 4: you're a lot of talk. And it's in Barbosa versus

870
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,440
Speaker 4: Connor McGregor at lightweight.

871
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:40,920
Speaker 1: It's fun. It's fun. It's fun, Boss, Barboss. You know,

872
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: you could get tagged with the big punch. That's the

873
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: only thing for him there but the leg kicks. There's

874
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 1: a lot of fun fights for Connor. Connor never has

875
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 1: a shitty fight, right, No, that did.

876
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 4: That didn't make it. You didn't get horned up from that.

877
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 4: That did that was that was like.

878
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:58,440
Speaker 1: Of all the possible choices, that's not my top five.

879
00:38:59,040 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: See that's so interesting.

880
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 3: So that's like an Eastern European woman on Instagram.

881
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,280
Speaker 4: You're like, all right, for some people maybe you know BC, maybe,

882
00:39:07,320 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 4: but you know, give me that LBB.

883
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Yes, the old LBB, the

884
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 1: famous lbb's Okay, last thing on Bryce MITCHELLBC. Here's one

885
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: thing I just want to point out a lot of

886
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: times we get these characters in MMA from all different

887
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 1: parts of the world and all different parts of the country,

888
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 1: and people love them for their character. And you should

889
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:27,880
Speaker 1: if that's a thing that appeals to you or not,

890
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: if not, whatever, you can make a choice. But the

891
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,880
Speaker 1: one thing that should be put on Bryce Mitchell again

892
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:35,319
Speaker 1: as a fighter, you better put some respect on him.

893
00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: Not just because he's good. He has a very modern

894
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 1: skill set. He's not just out there winning with old

895
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:43,799
Speaker 1: farm strength and determination. No, he's winning with the very

896
00:39:43,880 --> 00:39:47,480
Speaker 1: best practices of modern grappling, changing up between upper and

897
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 1: lower body takedowns, chaining them together, advancing to mount working

898
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:53,800
Speaker 1: through all these things. But what the very best guys

899
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,359
Speaker 1: are doing in terms of best practices. I'm not saying

900
00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 1: he's the best grappler, but I'm saying his game much

901
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,399
Speaker 1: more closely error is what the very best are doing,

902
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: then what all the other guys are doing. And I

903
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 1: hope people understand that.

904
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: Did you just take a shot at brock Lesner?

905
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: Did I?

906
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,000
Speaker 4: Did I pull that hair out of the soup? Luke?

907
00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 4: Did you?

908
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 3: I think you're just I mean, come on, Luke, you

909
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, like, don't don't, don't be smirched

910
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:18,719
Speaker 3: that guy, Luke.

911
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 4: I mean that penis tattoo sword on his chest. It's

912
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 4: coming for you, Luke.

913
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: Okay, Yeah, I'm desperately concerned. All right, for the rest

914
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:28,719
Speaker 1: of the UFC two seventy two card, we'll have it

915
00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: on an extra credit here. After the show number four, BC,

916
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: Choko Latito got back to action against Julio Sesar Martinez

917
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:40,759
Speaker 1: via unanimous decision. Now first thing's first, Choko Latito thirty

918
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: four years old. This was on to his own boy.

919
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:46,120
Speaker 1: He beat the fucking breaks off of Martinez. I give

920
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 1: credit BC to Martinez for trying to put rallies together,

921
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:52,439
Speaker 1: especially in that twolth round. Not even rallies, but maybe

922
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: just flurries, you know, just to just to kind of

923
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:57,240
Speaker 1: fight back a little bit with whatever way he could.

924
00:40:57,239 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: But dude, this was a master craftsman behind the wheel

925
00:41:00,440 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: of a steam roller, and there was nothing Martinez could do.

926
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: A how impressed were you? And b what specifically does

927
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: this win set up for Gonzales, which is.

928
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, they answer your final question first is just to say,

929
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:20,160
Speaker 3: like this shows he certainly still got it at thirty four,

930
00:41:20,760 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 3: but this gets him right back to what this fight

931
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 3: should have been, which is, you know, a monster fight

932
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:28,520
Speaker 3: the trilogy with Jan Franz Fisco Estrada for all the

933
00:41:28,520 --> 00:41:32,440
Speaker 3: belts there, or maybe even a third dance with Swisa

934
00:41:32,440 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 3: Cats or Rungviside. Now that Chuck Latito is is just

935
00:41:36,239 --> 00:41:38,480
Speaker 3: in a different place. Now, this this Twilight Tour. I

936
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 3: told you ahead of time. You know, watch this fight

937
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 3: and and savor it. Savor what this man is giving

938
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 3: us at a time in the career we're in this division.

939
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:47,239
Speaker 4: You're you're done, you know.

940
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 3: And the fight was great to watch, even though it

941
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:56,319
Speaker 3: became one sided. The spirit that Martinez shows. They were

942
00:41:56,360 --> 00:42:00,880
Speaker 3: talking up his his like elementary school playground, my ability,

943
00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 3: and that's how he got his nickname the Iron Boy. Dude,

944
00:42:04,080 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 3: he still fights with that same exact spirit. They're like, yeah,

945
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 3: all of his classmates were like, he's made iron. We

946
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:13,280
Speaker 3: can't keep him away from just mauling us and tearing

947
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: us to pieces. Dude, he's reckless. The form he throws

948
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,200
Speaker 3: is all over the place. But he brought the wavos

949
00:42:20,200 --> 00:42:21,840
Speaker 3: even though he had a lot of weight problems that

950
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 3: almost canceled this fight. And you know, you have to

951
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:27,279
Speaker 3: wonder if that if he was extra drained, even though

952
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,959
Speaker 3: he's the guy moving up in weight from one twelve

953
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,600
Speaker 3: to one fifteen. You wonder if the next morning wiy

954
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,319
Speaker 3: and he had to do to keep this fight from

955
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 3: getting canceled just zapped him out even more. But he

956
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 3: was going to be game, but it was also going

957
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,839
Speaker 3: to be the perfect canvas for Chocolatito to show us

958
00:42:41,040 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 3: his artistry.

959
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:43,840
Speaker 4: Luke, he's not as quick as he used to be.

960
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:47,320
Speaker 3: His power isn't as massive here at this weight class,

961
00:42:47,400 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 3: Chuck Latito as it was in the smaller weight classes,

962
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 3: although he can still thump.

963
00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 4: But tom if I'm wrong, dude, he's a joy to behold.

964
00:42:55,120 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 3: This isn't hardest, Like this guy's like his craft timing technique.

965
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 5: I Q.

966
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,920
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's and he's and he's just a

967
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:09,000
Speaker 3: classy dude, a proud nicaragu when a classy dude like

968
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 3: I love this man. Remember when when when Tommy Heinsen

969
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 3: would be like, I love Walter talking about McCarthy, that

970
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 3: Walter McCarty boner from from here to a handover mass Luke,

971
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:21,640
Speaker 3: I got that for chocol latito right now.

972
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm rock hard with emotion. I love this man.

973
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: Uh, I don't quite feel these same sexual urges. However,

974
00:43:28,239 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 1: what I would say is I share all of the

975
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 1: general enthusiasm. Dude, if you are an MMA fan and

976
00:43:34,719 --> 00:43:37,360
Speaker 1: you have access to this fighter, you're a his own customer.

977
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 1: You are only cheating yourself. If you don't watch, nobody

978
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,719
Speaker 1: loses except you. If you don't see this guy, he

979
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:47,040
Speaker 1: is beyond special. And again, as BC indicated, he's not

980
00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:49,319
Speaker 1: even necessarily In fact, he's pretty much post prime at

981
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: this point. But he's still so good you just can't

982
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: believe it. Watch how many times we see he actually

983
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 1: pushes uh Martinez back and forces Martinez constantly out of position,

984
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:03,479
Speaker 1: loosely so when he's even throwing those flurries, there's nothing

985
00:44:03,520 --> 00:44:05,920
Speaker 1: behind it because he has no stable structure. Meanwhile, you

986
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:09,759
Speaker 1: heard the Sergio Martinez the commentator talk constantly about the

987
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,200
Speaker 1: footwork and the balance of Gonzalez. Dude, he is constantly

988
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:17,080
Speaker 1: in he is in good position, putting his opponents out

989
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 1: of good position, forward pressure angles the whole nine yards

990
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: and dude, I've never seen a guy that's never I

991
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,280
Speaker 1: haven't seen a guy in a long time stand guard

992
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:29,439
Speaker 1: like this right in front of his opponent, motherfucker, right

993
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: in front of his opponent and make them miss constantly.

994
00:44:33,520 --> 00:44:35,799
Speaker 1: We're not talking making guys miss at mid range. I'm

995
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 1: talking making guys miss at close range, at pham booth range.

996
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,120
Speaker 1: And he did it over and over and then would

997
00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 1: counter offense on top of it. Dude, Martinez, this fight

998
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: turned at the forty four second mark of the first round,

999
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: and Choco Latito never looked back. If you don't watch

1000
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 1: this guy, you have only yourself to blame. You are

1001
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:56,840
Speaker 1: missing out on a master craftsman who can still do

1002
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 1: elite work.

1003
00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 3: And if you get thirsty for more, watch the Estrado

1004
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 3: rematch from last year, arguably the fight of the year,

1005
00:45:02,719 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 3: and watched those two fights with Sti Katsurrungvisa.

1006
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 4: That first one a thriller of a bloodbath, but uh

1007
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 4: luke good.

1008
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,000
Speaker 3: Great to see him get his moment. Let's make the

1009
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 3: big fights. Let's keep it going, all right?

1010
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 1: Point number five. The other boxing event took place on

1011
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,879
Speaker 1: Friday night. Interestingly, this one didn't have maybe quite as

1012
00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:22,480
Speaker 1: much buzz, but ended up being a much more competitive

1013
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,439
Speaker 1: affair than I think even you and I thought BC.

1014
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: So Jose Ramirez he did get the win that part,

1015
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:31,760
Speaker 1: win as expected over Jose Padraza. However, I would say

1016
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: it was pretty competitive. Padraza was game, Ramirez had enough

1017
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:40,600
Speaker 1: tricks BC to get it done. True or false? So

1018
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:43,439
Speaker 1: answer that one for me and then tell me. Does

1019
00:45:43,600 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: this performance to you inspire confidence about his chances to

1020
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: reclaim a belt at one forty?

1021
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:50,720
Speaker 4: It really does.

1022
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 3: But what I love about it, and it's really it's

1023
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,439
Speaker 3: perfect that this is who Jose Ramirez is because he's

1024
00:45:56,440 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 3: so honest and humble and hard working and you know

1025
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:01,160
Speaker 3: all those super He's like the guy you want, like

1026
00:46:01,440 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 3: growing up in the house next to you or to

1027
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:06,879
Speaker 3: date your daughter. Like he puts that off and it's

1028
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:10,440
Speaker 3: he had to kind of walk through some stuff like

1029
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 3: this was a close, competitive fight. It's him purposely not

1030
00:46:13,719 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 3: not accepting a soft match. You know, he's going right

1031
00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:18,359
Speaker 3: back in there, gets a top contender after you know,

1032
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,920
Speaker 3: ten months gone lose his first loss, getting kind of

1033
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:23,399
Speaker 3: handled in a close fight by a guy who just proved,

1034
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:24,640
Speaker 3: in Josh Taylor, to be that.

1035
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:28,160
Speaker 4: Much better than him. We were asking a lot of him.

1036
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 3: And not only was this fight great to watch, and

1037
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,960
Speaker 3: I'll get into that in a second, Rameira's having to

1038
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 3: get hurt briefly a couple of times, having to make

1039
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 3: so many key adjustments, and then Petraw's a damn you

1040
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 3: gotta give this guy credit coming on in rounds eleven

1041
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:45,920
Speaker 3: and twelve. And while Ramerez did feel the heat the

1042
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: way he closed round eleven after getting tagged up early,

1043
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,319
Speaker 3: like yeah, Luke, with Josh Taylor exiting this division, he

1044
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:56,160
Speaker 3: might be the guy right now that now the titles

1045
00:46:56,160 --> 00:46:57,799
Speaker 3: will end up having to be sort of vacated and

1046
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,480
Speaker 3: golf into different directions in the galaxy while to start

1047
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 3: all over again at rebuilding matchups and trying to get

1048
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,280
Speaker 3: back to an undisputed champion.

1049
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,200
Speaker 4: But I wonder in some mythical powerful pound ranking.

1050
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 3: Of those who are at one point forty right now,

1051
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,000
Speaker 3: not necessarily counting the guys that we think are moving

1052
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:11,479
Speaker 3: up soon.

1053
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,400
Speaker 4: Ryan Garcia, Tank Davis.

1054
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: I think I like him number one again, just slightly

1055
00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 3: above Regis Progray.

1056
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,640
Speaker 4: Of course, you know a couple other very.

1057
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:22,719
Speaker 3: Strong names that are that are that are still here

1058
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: or and again that are coming because Luke, the difference

1059
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 3: between oh sorry, my closing point about the humility after

1060
00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:32,319
Speaker 3: the fight for him to say, look, I'm not gonna

1061
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 3: lie to you. I got nervous for this fight, like

1062
00:47:35,640 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 3: you know, and this guy packs that arena in Fresno,

1063
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,319
Speaker 3: and he represents the people of that valley, hard working valley,

1064
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 3: and it embodies them. And you know they packed that

1065
00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 3: arena that that was a big time fight atmosphere, and

1066
00:47:47,640 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: he admitted, Luke, you know it was threatening to be

1067
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,760
Speaker 3: too much pressure for me to come back and improve

1068
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 3: it all over again. And the way he did prove

1069
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 3: it though, Luke, he's known for kind of being responsible,

1070
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,400
Speaker 3: but being kind of straight ahead beside it behind his

1071
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:07,719
Speaker 3: high guard and then he's creative with the combinations. He's

1072
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 3: adding so much more to his game and you can

1073
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,280
Speaker 3: see it. And he's got one of the best trainers

1074
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:13,920
Speaker 3: in the game of Robert Garcia, but there was much

1075
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:17,680
Speaker 3: more layers to what he does. For half the fight,

1076
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,000
Speaker 3: he made Padraza, the natural counterpuncher, sort of come at him,

1077
00:48:21,000 --> 00:48:23,560
Speaker 3: which was brilliant because Ramerez would close the distance with

1078
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,640
Speaker 3: pressure but then hang there and counter Padraza and then,

1079
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:29,799
Speaker 3: you know, no counterpuncher likes to be consistently countered, and

1080
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 3: it was a constant sort of switch game of them

1081
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: making each other adjust but Rameirez's adjustments were better. This

1082
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 3: was a competitive and close fight, but he's still the

1083
00:48:39,440 --> 00:48:42,920
Speaker 3: guy Luke I saw arguably the best version of him,

1084
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:44,880
Speaker 3: even though he had to overcome a little you know,

1085
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 3: he had to shake off a few big punches late

1086
00:48:47,320 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: in the later rounds.

1087
00:48:48,280 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't have much to add to that except

1088
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:51,400
Speaker 1: I thought the exact same thing as you. It was.

1089
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:57,799
Speaker 1: Padraza gave a really good account of himself. But fighting,

1090
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 1: if you go back and look at the highlights, for example,

1091
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: you just consistently or play it fast forward, what you'll

1092
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 1: consistently see is, you know, with obviously a couple exceptances

1093
00:49:05,440 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: here or there, long stretches of the fight with Padraza

1094
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:12,439
Speaker 1: along the ropes, and he did impressive work there. BC

1095
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:16,320
Speaker 1: I thought, given the circumstances, I just thought, if Ramirez

1096
00:49:16,360 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: is going to be able to back you up, even

1097
00:49:17,719 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: if there are some counterpunching opportunities there or whatever, and

1098
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:23,160
Speaker 1: he did have his own moments, that was just too

1099
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,680
Speaker 1: much of a metaphorical and literal backfoot to beat Ramirez.

1100
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: That was not the best game plan to beat Ramirez,

1101
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:30,920
Speaker 1: or at least not the one that I thought, well

1102
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 1: he could have. Yeah, I don't think that was a

1103
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,960
Speaker 1: winning strategy beginning to end. However, the success he had

1104
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 1: with it was still quite admirable. Ultimately, I just thought

1105
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 1: Ramirez did enough of the dance leading to have Padraza

1106
00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:47,360
Speaker 1: follow and that made the difference over time. Is that

1107
00:49:47,400 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 1: a fact?

1108
00:49:47,960 --> 00:49:48,319
Speaker 4: This was?

1109
00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:51,319
Speaker 3: Yes, it is, And this was a Jose Padraza fight,

1110
00:49:51,360 --> 00:49:53,719
Speaker 3: which means like, it's so hard not to fall in

1111
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 3: love with him as a fighter because he's so smart

1112
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:59,279
Speaker 3: and calculated and sneaky, and you know, he embodies that

1113
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:02,480
Speaker 3: nickname of the sniper and his counter punching ability and

1114
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:05,239
Speaker 3: he's game as heck. But Luke, as you sort of

1115
00:50:06,239 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 3: warned coming in, he does sort of level out when

1116
00:50:10,440 --> 00:50:13,120
Speaker 3: he faces the you know, elite level competition, and in

1117
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:13,960
Speaker 3: some of those.

1118
00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,880
Speaker 4: Fights you want, you only you know he's one of

1119
00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:16,680
Speaker 4: It's like he's one of.

1120
00:50:16,640 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 3: Those guys like, man, if he just did a little

1121
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:20,040
Speaker 3: bit more, if he was a little bit more busy

1122
00:50:20,040 --> 00:50:22,520
Speaker 3: and active, right, But I think what makes it frustrating

1123
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:25,120
Speaker 3: to watch him is he's so damn elite or close

1124
00:50:25,160 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 3: to elite in a few different categories, but every time

1125
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 3: he tries to be great, he finds out he's just

1126
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 3: short of that. He's a very good fighter with some

1127
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 3: great tendencies, but man, he can't get over that highest

1128
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:39,640
Speaker 3: hump and he you know, he made Ramirez work and

1129
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:41,840
Speaker 3: he was still landing big shots late like we talked about,

1130
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 3: and I thought andre Ward was very critical of his

1131
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:46,480
Speaker 3: of his strategy, but very fair too.

1132
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 4: It was a very you know, good night on the

1133
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 4: mic from Andrea.

1134
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 3: But this was the perfect test. I mean, this is

1135
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:53,920
Speaker 3: a tough ass test, but Ramirez passed it. And Luke,

1136
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 3: I want to say one more thing. It's easy to

1137
00:50:56,880 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 3: to think Rameirez is overrated, and I fell for that

1138
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,560
Speaker 3: for a long time because you know, he doesn't have

1139
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:04,440
Speaker 3: fight ending power and he's not like a pure boxer.

1140
00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:07,919
Speaker 3: He's sort of this aggressive hybrid of smart boxing under

1141
00:51:07,960 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 3: the pressure fighter category.

1142
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 4: But his intangibles, his IQ, he's really fucking good.

1143
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 3: I mean, like you know, he's ready right now to

1144
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,120
Speaker 3: get right back on the horse.

1145
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:19,720
Speaker 4: So I can't wait to see what happens.

1146
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,480
Speaker 1: These were to your point. I like the point that

1147
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: you made, which was he didn't necessarily change a shit

1148
00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,959
Speaker 1: ton round to round. It was tiny little adjustments about

1149
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,720
Speaker 1: what kind of space to give, what punch to select,

1150
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:35,640
Speaker 1: when to throw, what set up to use, YadA YadA YadA,

1151
00:51:35,640 --> 00:51:37,480
Speaker 1: and so on in there, and he had to slowly

1152
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 1: implement it against the Pedraza who was also trying to

1153
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: play that game with him. This was a real I

1154
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: mean we always overused this constantly, but that was a

1155
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 1: real chess match, man. That was a real chess match

1156
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 1: where these guys said constantly having it was one move

1157
00:51:49,200 --> 00:51:50,120
Speaker 1: after the other. Right.

1158
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,080
Speaker 3: It was that close to being my favorite type of fight,

1159
00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 3: high speed chess. It was more in that category. It

1160
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,279
Speaker 3: wasn't an all action fight, but there were great adjustments,

1161
00:51:57,360 --> 00:51:59,800
Speaker 3: great skill, toughness, crowd environment.

1162
00:52:00,239 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 4: This was a very fun I was entertained as heck

1163
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 4: watching this, so uh shout out to everybody involved there.

1164
00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 1: All right, that is it for our top five. It

1165
00:52:08,200 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: is now time for you to ask us questions. It

1166
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:16,759
Speaker 1: is time for dms from the digity. Don't you do these?

1167
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 1: Every Monday? You can email us Morning Combat at gmail

1168
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: dot com, of course, but that actually outs for Wednesdays

1169
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,320
Speaker 1: and Fridays. We put up a post on Instagram. Excuse me?

1170
00:52:25,360 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: What about post on Instagram every Sunday Morning Combat on Instagram?

1171
00:52:28,760 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 1: And then the producers pick five of those questions. All right, BC,

1172
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:36,960
Speaker 1: Here we go first at the underscore or underscore, the Gibsonator,

1173
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 1: another underscore. If Dustin Poarrier beats Covington at one seventy,

1174
00:52:43,239 --> 00:52:44,560
Speaker 1: does that put him in a title fight?

1175
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:49,560
Speaker 5: I guess, BC, I guess that's that's the formula for

1176
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:54,520
Speaker 5: how a star navigates the UFC, you know, political matchmaking

1177
00:52:54,560 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 5: pay per view scheme, Like that's the best way to

1178
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:57,479
Speaker 5: do it, right, Yeah?

1179
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:58,360
Speaker 4: I mean callby.

1180
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 3: Covington's he's still the number one contender, Luke, you know.

1181
00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,160
Speaker 1: Okay your head no, no, bs gun to your head?

1182
00:53:05,200 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: Does Poorier take that fight? Like make a call?

1183
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:07,640
Speaker 4: No?

1184
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:08,759
Speaker 1: No?

1185
00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 4: Does he accept it or win it? As?

1186
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:11,799
Speaker 1: Does he accept it?

1187
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,520
Speaker 3: So I'm glad you brought that back up because I

1188
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 3: meant to make this point earlier.

1189
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 4: I like what you said, or maybe he would just

1190
00:53:18,880 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 4: say f.

1191
00:53:19,280 --> 00:53:21,080
Speaker 3: You Colby and not give him the payday in the

1192
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:23,520
Speaker 3: fight and the opportunity to sort of, you know, be

1193
00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 3: a be a bashtard and do it on all you know,

1194
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,520
Speaker 3: a large scale against his wife and child.

1195
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:29,160
Speaker 4: Uh. But I think it.

1196
00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 3: Comes down to what are Poorier's options in the moment.

1197
00:53:32,280 --> 00:53:34,440
Speaker 3: If Poorier has a bigger pay per view fight to make,

1198
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:36,960
Speaker 3: he's gonna make it. But I think Poorier would be

1199
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:39,960
Speaker 3: willing to do it knowing that there's real, you know,

1200
00:53:40,040 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 3: real necessary motivation in there to want to punch this

1201
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 3: guy right in the damn face.

1202
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:46,359
Speaker 4: And also it's gonna move, it's gonna make him money.

1203
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:49,320
Speaker 3: And that's I think where Poorier is not in some selfish,

1204
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 3: you know way, but you know he's he's a humanitarian

1205
00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 3: in a lot of ways too. But I think that's

1206
00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:56,399
Speaker 3: what he's chasing big fish. If Colby's the biggest fish

1207
00:53:56,440 --> 00:53:58,040
Speaker 3: of the moment, I think he takes it.

1208
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:58,319
Speaker 1: Luke.

1209
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,600
Speaker 3: I do think though, that the concerns you showed about

1210
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 3: how bad of a matchup is for for Pourier are

1211
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 3: are legit, absolutely legit.

1212
00:54:04,680 --> 00:54:07,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's Colby's bigger. And then you know, Dustin

1213
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: was joking on Twitter the other day like about some

1214
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,760
Speaker 1: pain that I think was like some you know tweet

1215
00:54:11,760 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: had gone viral, like giving birth is the most pain

1216
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,600
Speaker 1: a human can suffer, and and he quote to it

1217
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,000
Speaker 1: and be like, you ever been choked out from the

1218
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,319
Speaker 1: back twice in two title fights? You know, just sort

1219
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:21,840
Speaker 1: of saying, like the pain of that, not like the

1220
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 1: literal pain, but the significance of it really bothered him. Yeah,

1221
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: you know, you would imagine Colby's not like Demian Meyer

1222
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,840
Speaker 1: from the back, but he can get there and he

1223
00:54:29,880 --> 00:54:32,520
Speaker 1: can threaten with it. I don't know, man, that's a

1224
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:33,080
Speaker 1: bad fight in.

1225
00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 3: Our producer Mikey Morma reminded me that Dustin did give

1226
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 3: that comment where he said he wouldn't let Colby make

1227
00:54:39,160 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 3: money off of him and that he would fight Kobe

1228
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 3: outside of the ring for free. And you know, and

1229
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 3: I get that this is something that rightfully Dustin as

1230
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 3: a man is.

1231
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,759
Speaker 4: Like, nah, f you. But I also think he's a businessman, Luke.

1232
00:54:49,960 --> 00:54:51,160
Speaker 4: So that's that's the point of that.

1233
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,600
Speaker 1: From at custom props one, would it benefit the uf

1234
00:54:56,680 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: C to make more non title pay per view main events.

1235
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,799
Speaker 1: Would there's stars like das Masvidal and Connor and then

1236
00:55:02,920 --> 00:55:06,239
Speaker 1: stack pay per view cards with multiple low selling champions,

1237
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: In other words, make three title fight pay per views

1238
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: with low selling pay per view champions. What do you think?

1239
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 4: All?

1240
00:55:16,280 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 1: Right?

1241
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 3: So, what he's specifically asking and it's not that we

1242
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 3: don't ever see non title pay per views, it's just

1243
00:55:20,960 --> 00:55:22,719
Speaker 3: rare in this era, right, it used to be a

1244
00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: thing that happened a lot more when there weren't as

1245
00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,080
Speaker 3: many options or weight divisions or what have you. But

1246
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:33,920
Speaker 3: specifically putting non title attractive fight pay per views, grudge matches,

1247
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 3: whatever have you, all action fights and putting title fights

1248
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 3: below it. Yeah, I think that would be a smart move.

1249
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,040
Speaker 3: And they've gone what they've gone against that, right, they

1250
00:55:42,280 --> 00:55:43,960
Speaker 3: never wanted, you know, the top of fight always has

1251
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 3: to be a top at the end of.

1252
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 1: That's even so that's the part. It's like, from a

1253
00:55:47,719 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: commercial standpoint, would it makes sense to put let's just

1254
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: make something up das Masvidal two, put that at the

1255
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: top of the card and then put somebody like Chefchenko

1256
00:55:56,360 --> 00:55:58,880
Speaker 1: who is obviously well respected but not like the biggest sales.

1257
00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 1: Uh story, make a.

1258
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 4: Ton of sense?

1259
00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:03,600
Speaker 3: It would make a tough and it's surprising they don't

1260
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:06,480
Speaker 3: already do that because they make a lot of decisions

1261
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 3: that we debate on this show, whether that was controversial

1262
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,799
Speaker 3: or not fair or whatever. The business always wins out, Luke.

1263
00:56:13,880 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 3: You know, they always figure out what's best for business

1264
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 3: in a very McMahon like way.

1265
00:56:17,960 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

1266
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: That's all true. I don't disagree, but here's where I'm

1267
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,440
Speaker 1: at BC. It's like, dude, what's wrong with the UFC

1268
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:27,919
Speaker 1: business in terms of their ability to succeed? Basically nothing? Yeah,

1269
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:31,239
Speaker 1: they're killing it. If anything, they're a monopoly, right, that's

1270
00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 1: the bordering on it, depending on one's perspective, like they

1271
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:36,879
Speaker 1: are the eight hundred pound guerrilla in this industry times

1272
00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,160
Speaker 1: a thousand. So the question you have to ask yourself

1273
00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:41,360
Speaker 1: is what is it to be gained by doing that?

1274
00:56:41,520 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: Guess there are something to be gained, and it's not

1275
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 1: even to say that if they did a dias maas

1276
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:47,360
Speaker 1: wat Aal two and then Chevchenko as the Comaine or

1277
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:50,600
Speaker 1: something that Chefchenko wouldn't also benefit. But there also is

1278
00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,480
Speaker 1: something to be said for, like respecting weight class champions

1279
00:56:53,600 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 1: and giving them their due as people where. Yes, we

1280
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,200
Speaker 1: might suffer a little bit on the sales end by

1281
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,920
Speaker 1: how we position who's on cards and where, but we

1282
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: are going to honor what these champions mean to us

1283
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: by giving them pre eminent billing. I would hate to

1284
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:10,359
Speaker 1: lose out on that. I could understand this argument if

1285
00:57:10,440 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 1: the business was suffering, but yeah, killing it.

1286
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,840
Speaker 3: So why I mean with that, with that ESPN deal alone,

1287
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 3: this is pretty much a non starter, right, Like they

1288
00:57:19,640 --> 00:57:22,680
Speaker 3: don't like of course they make aggressive pay per view

1289
00:57:22,720 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: main event decisions to make the matchups even like that's

1290
00:57:25,760 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 3: why you would see OLIVERA. McGregor for example, you know

1291
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 3: this year if if this star is aligned or what

1292
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 3: have you. I mean, it's why it would make a

1293
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 3: lot of sense. But yeah, they don't need to And

1294
00:57:37,280 --> 00:57:39,840
Speaker 3: I and I miss those days. You true false, Luke.

1295
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 4: And Dana is what he is?

1296
00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,560
Speaker 3: What he is, I mean, Dana's is, Dana White is

1297
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,440
Speaker 3: entertaining as shit, whatever you want to say about him

1298
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:48,440
Speaker 3: when he's on the microphone, like it's a thing, like

1299
00:57:48,520 --> 00:57:50,960
Speaker 3: you watch it and of course like like he's that's why,

1300
00:57:51,080 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 3: it's part of why he's so successful.

1301
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:57,920
Speaker 4: But but I don't know where I was going with that. Luke,

1302
00:57:57,920 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 4: I fell right off the side of the cliff, all right,

1303
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,000
Speaker 4: you know I'll.

1304
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 3: Take the eighth delta flight on the web, Jane, I wish,

1305
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 3: I wish I did though, I wish I'd get the

1306
00:58:05,760 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 3: extra leg room to find my find my brain again.

1307
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 4: But you know, hey, we had a good run.

1308
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: We had a great run for as long as it lasted.

1309
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 1: PC from at TJ Underscore Podro Do you guys believe

1310
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:21,960
Speaker 1: Jalen Turner could be a contender at one fifty five?

1311
00:58:22,080 --> 00:58:24,600
Speaker 1: Seems like he is huge for the division so far,

1312
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: has looked great on the scale and is just efing

1313
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:29,280
Speaker 1: people up. Think he's a problem for a lot of guys.

1314
00:58:29,360 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: You see his wins to date. He has two losses

1315
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,920
Speaker 1: to Luke and Frivola. Theola one was by decision. He

1316
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,280
Speaker 1: got finished by Luke, but he has a win on

1317
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:41,520
Speaker 1: the Contender series Callan Potter Joshua Cooley boo. Then it

1318
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,200
Speaker 1: starts to turn up a little bit brock Weaver and

1319
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 1: then his last two euro Schmititch who is very good,

1320
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,080
Speaker 1: and then of course this last one Jamie Malarkey. What

1321
00:58:48,160 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: do you think PC?

1322
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 4: I think I remember what I was gonna say about

1323
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 4: taking a white Luke that.

1324
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: It is a great show.

1325
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 4: I think it's for I can't Luke. Yeah, yeah, we're

1326
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:03,680
Speaker 4: right great, We're on out, We're right great.

1327
00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, did you miss did you miss

1328
00:59:05,640 --> 00:59:07,880
Speaker 3: the old hungry, desperate data That's what I was gonna ask,

1329
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:10,720
Speaker 3: did you miss the guy that still would do some

1330
00:59:10,920 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 3: questionable things, but it was about elevating the sport and the.

1331
00:59:14,040 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 4: Brand, and like, do you miss that guy? It's like

1332
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 4: there's still a good part of that guy in there.

1333
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:22,280
Speaker 4: Of course. I mean, they're they're monstrously successful, but he's

1334
00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:24,840
Speaker 4: not fueled by that anymore, Luke. He's still fueled by

1335
00:59:24,880 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 4: fuck you, but not exactly like that.

1336
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:29,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, not exactly, Like, let's make the sport look the

1337
00:59:29,560 --> 00:59:32,040
Speaker 1: best in all circumstances. You know, I had five red

1338
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 1: bulls this morning kind of thing. Uh, that part is

1339
00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: probably missing. But dude, if you've had this much success,

1340
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 1: it's just not possible to maintain that kind of you know,

1341
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 1: fucking game seven, Bottom of.

1342
00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 3: The Night, right, and you'll burn the shit out too.

1343
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,280
Speaker 3: You'll burn Luke. I have moments where I burn out too,

1344
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:48,120
Speaker 3: or I'm like, man, I you know I can't. I

1345
00:59:48,200 --> 00:59:49,840
Speaker 3: can't keep this all at this level?

1346
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 4: Can I and then you know me?

1347
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 1: The are we the data and Lorenzo? Is that who

1348
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:54,240
Speaker 1: we are?

1349
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:57,880
Speaker 4: Why? Why do the do the No?

1350
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: I won't make that joke. I can't.

1351
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 4: I can't make that joke. They'd remove me.

1352
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:04,000
Speaker 3: All right, Luke, you ask me about Jayalen Turner. The

1353
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:05,600
Speaker 3: Tarantalla looked fantastic.

1354
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:06,960
Speaker 4: What was the spirit of the question? Is he a

1355
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,439
Speaker 4: future title challenger? Is that what you're asking?

1356
01:00:08,440 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: What do you think? What's his upside? Basically, this fight

1357
01:00:13,480 --> 01:00:13,600
Speaker 1: was a.

1358
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 4: Great step forward in extending that, Luke.

1359
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:20,400
Speaker 3: I'm not fully convinced yet, but this is like, oh,

1360
01:00:20,440 --> 01:00:22,800
Speaker 3: he's not just some attraction now because his nickname is

1361
01:00:22,800 --> 01:00:24,760
Speaker 3: the Tarantula and he's got weird spider's crown all over

1362
01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:28,120
Speaker 3: the videos that we see, Luke, the guy's actually talented

1363
01:00:28,120 --> 01:00:31,120
Speaker 3: and explosive. But you are seeing the techniques start to

1364
01:00:31,160 --> 01:00:34,280
Speaker 3: come together, the game planning. He's on his way there, Luke,

1365
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:36,800
Speaker 3: I still want to see improve me, prove me right.

1366
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:39,760
Speaker 1: Though, Yeah, exactly. Here's the thing. He is twenty six

1367
01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 1: years old. Twenty six Let's pump the brakes, everybody. We

1368
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:46,440
Speaker 1: don't have to rush him anywhere. I'm not saying that

1369
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,320
Speaker 1: the spirit of the question necessarily says that. But anytime

1370
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:51,120
Speaker 1: we're like, oh man, this young guy looks really good,

1371
01:00:51,160 --> 01:00:52,840
Speaker 1: we're all of a sudden like, well, who could he beat?

1372
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: He can probably be beat lots of guys, but let's

1373
01:00:56,680 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: get him to a point where he is doing it systemically.

1374
01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:01,400
Speaker 1: He is doing it carefully, He is doing in a

1375
01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,400
Speaker 1: planned and coordinated manner. Because if he asked me, these

1376
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,240
Speaker 1: wins that he has, they're nice. But he does have

1377
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 1: those two losses granted to a very very very good

1378
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,280
Speaker 1: Vicente Luke, and that was, you know, in twenty eighteen,

1379
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 1: four years ago, and in the case but I was

1380
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:16,840
Speaker 1: gonna say the case of his last two, No, those

1381
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 1: were much better opponents, and he dispatched with both of

1382
01:01:20,280 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: them as well. So it's the last two that tells

1383
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:24,360
Speaker 1: you he's really beginning to turn the corner. But BC,

1384
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, we still need to see a little bit

1385
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:29,040
Speaker 1: more of him tested later in fights. What happens if

1386
01:01:29,040 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 1: guys don't fall into traps and he's in the third round,

1387
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,760
Speaker 1: What does this cardio look like? He's twenty six, so

1388
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:36,920
Speaker 1: he looks awesome, But there's a lot of time left

1389
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: before we really have to ask broader questions about that.

1390
01:01:39,760 --> 01:01:42,680
Speaker 3: That was an aggressive opponent who brought a little lot

1391
01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:44,680
Speaker 3: of him. So it was good to see that for sure, Luke,

1392
01:01:45,320 --> 01:01:46,320
Speaker 3: what can the fans hope for?

1393
01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 4: On extra credit.

1394
01:01:47,680 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 1: Today, Jalen Turner, we're gonna talk about We're gonna talk

1395
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,520
Speaker 1: about Vin Holland as well. Kevin Holland quietly had a

1396
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,200
Speaker 1: very good performance, albeit it took a little while to

1397
01:01:56,240 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: get going, but once he did, he was all in.

1398
01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:02,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about seragey bit back Marina Hadriguez lots

1399
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 1: of folks, so I'm being to look up for that

1400
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: later today. All right at Underscore, why do you have

1401
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: a question?

1402
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:12,200
Speaker 3: No, I just like to advertise our stuff. I want

1403
01:02:12,240 --> 01:02:14,000
Speaker 3: people to buy it, you know, so I want you

1404
01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,640
Speaker 3: know I'm not gonna watch it. I'm sure it's gonna

1405
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 3: be great though.

1406
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 1: You know what, I actually believe you this stuff. All right, Uh,

1407
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,040
Speaker 1: b C, this one's all for you. How does Tim

1408
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,880
Speaker 1: Zu do in his American debut? And do you see

1409
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: little brother Nikita's pro debut?

1410
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,080
Speaker 4: Nikita will be making a brief appearance. And have you

1411
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:36,520
Speaker 4: seen this ship very shortly?

1412
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:37,120
Speaker 1: Uh?

1413
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,760
Speaker 3: There are there are reports out there, Luke that Timsu

1414
01:02:39,880 --> 01:02:43,440
Speaker 3: is gonna gonna headline a Showtime card against Terrell Goshe.

1415
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:46,000
Speaker 4: I know that Showtime is.

1416
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 3: Is going to unveil the full schedule this week, and

1417
01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 3: and you know, you see some of these potential reports

1418
01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 3: or whispers and it's looking strong. But uh, dude, this

1419
01:02:55,200 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 3: is Tim Zu's moment. I mean, that's a tough opponent

1420
01:02:58,920 --> 01:03:01,880
Speaker 3: and it's tough to do this to to fly over,

1421
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: but this is the right time to do it. Let's

1422
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,560
Speaker 3: make it an events, make it a spectacle. And yeah,

1423
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 3: I think you got a favor for him to win.

1424
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 3: I think he's gonna show you what he has in

1425
01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:12,120
Speaker 3: the moment. I just can't wait to see what Terrelle

1426
01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 3: Gochet makes him show, because you know that guy can

1427
01:03:15,920 --> 01:03:17,320
Speaker 3: a couple of times where you're like, you thought he

1428
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:19,480
Speaker 3: was better and he's found a plateau. But then there's

1429
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,720
Speaker 3: other times where you know, Goche let his hands go

1430
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 3: and he's got that amateur background and be like, oh man,

1431
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 3: that guy. Guy's a tough ass out. So this is

1432
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 3: a great matchup in that regard where we're gonna find

1433
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 3: that out. But if I'm gonna guess whether Tim Zoo

1434
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 3: shines or not. Right now, the stocks on Tim Zoo shining,

1435
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 3: ask you.

1436
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Real quick for folks who are more familiar with his father,

1437
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:40,520
Speaker 1: and they may not know too much about Tim Zoo,

1438
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:44,360
Speaker 1: give me, like the the twenty second pitch. What is

1439
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:46,800
Speaker 1: it about Tim Zoo that excites you so much?

1440
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:49,440
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, just the way he attacks to

1441
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 3: the body with the left hand and the hooks is

1442
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,800
Speaker 3: impressive and aggressive and it stands out. And his dad

1443
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 3: was a boxer puncher, but a guy who can bang,

1444
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 3: but his dad was a little bit more on his

1445
01:03:59,160 --> 01:04:02,720
Speaker 3: toes larading in and out. Tim's solid and I don't

1446
01:04:02,840 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 3: I mean that not only in the stance, in the

1447
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 3: way that he attacks works behind the jab, very very

1448
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 3: good technique, but his temperament, Luke is seems to be

1449
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,120
Speaker 3: uh something special there and that that's not it's not

1450
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:19,040
Speaker 3: a surprise if you grew up as the son of

1451
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:20,400
Speaker 3: a Hall of Famer and you you know, and you

1452
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 3: probably traveled with him and idolized him and went to

1453
01:04:22,760 --> 01:04:23,280
Speaker 3: every event.

1454
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 4: I mean this, this should feel normal for you, and

1455
01:04:25,680 --> 01:04:27,960
Speaker 4: it seems to feel very normal for him.

1456
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 3: And sometimes that doesn't matter in the end, and sometimes

1457
01:04:31,440 --> 01:04:34,840
Speaker 3: that gives you a reason to be so confident when

1458
01:04:34,840 --> 01:04:36,000
Speaker 3: you haven't seen improve of yet.

1459
01:04:36,840 --> 01:04:40,040
Speaker 1: And then last but not least, we see at Ross Rusty.

1460
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: Did you guys see the new Batman movie? And also

1461
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:47,040
Speaker 1: which is both of your favorite Batman movies? You see?

1462
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: What do you think?

1463
01:04:48,200 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 4: I did not see this new one, Luke? Have you

1464
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 4: that everyone's talking about?

1465
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 1: No, I had. I had violetta duty by myself. My

1466
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: entire family is in Colombia.

1467
01:04:57,440 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, dude, and you saw that when you had

1468
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 3: your technical meltdown this morning. I think it was very

1469
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 3: fueled by by poor sleep and overparenting.

1470
01:05:07,080 --> 01:05:10,640
Speaker 1: It was like, I've not slept much in a few days,

1471
01:05:10,720 --> 01:05:12,440
Speaker 1: so I'm just like, like I was.

1472
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have been surprised if you were like you

1473
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 3: fucking kids listened to me, you know, I mean just

1474
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 3: been like you know, I mean, you were like daddy

1475
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 3: pants and gaff in me.

1476
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 4: But that's fine.

1477
01:05:20,920 --> 01:05:24,480
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry, BC I was. I was frustrated.

1478
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:28,040
Speaker 1: I was frustrated. Okay, I apologize formally. I mean that, Uh,

1479
01:05:28,160 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: your favorite Batman movie is what?

1480
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:31,600
Speaker 4: Dude?

1481
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:34,920
Speaker 3: You remember we did the homework on MK MK COVID

1482
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,360
Speaker 3: homework on uh the First Dark Night, Luke?

1483
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: Yes? Or did we do it on the second one,

1484
01:05:39,920 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I think it was the first one was with the Scarecrow,

1485
01:05:42,240 --> 01:05:45,200
Speaker 1: second one was with h was it?

1486
01:05:45,440 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 3: Uh?

1487
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I had seen this second.

1488
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,000
Speaker 1: One was the heath Ledger joker.

1489
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,360
Speaker 3: The second one that one, Luke, that one is untouchable.

1490
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:55,560
Speaker 3: But I haven't seen them all, and I'm not like

1491
01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 3: an officionado, So I'm just kind of talking about outside

1492
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,080
Speaker 3: my ass a little.

1493
01:05:59,360 --> 01:06:01,080
Speaker 4: But my ass is been been places.

1494
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:06,920
Speaker 1: Look, I mean I'm not Yeah, wow, hey, what happened

1495
01:06:06,960 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 1: to the Twitter account morning combat? No context? Because that

1496
01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 1: would have been perfect for that.

1497
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, Okay, sometimes we stumble into a hole like baby Jessica. Look,

1498
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:21,120
Speaker 3: and you know it happens, right, that's a deep damn.

1499
01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: Deep people know the Baby Jessica reference. These are like

1500
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: eighties and nineties kids references that we all did that.

1501
01:06:29,600 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't think any of our fucking audience knows I

1502
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 1: was gonna say. I will say this. That's why.

1503
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 4: That's why they haven't shut me down for those John

1504
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:39,800
Speaker 4: Beney jokes, Luke, that's why. Okay, nobody know where he

1505
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 4: gets them anymore.

1506
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: Nobody knows like Jean Binet, who was that some kind

1507
01:06:42,840 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 1: of French waiter? Who is that what I was gonna

1508
01:06:46,240 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 1: say was BC two things. One I've not seen the movie,

1509
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,400
Speaker 1: although I find it weird that every new generation tries

1510
01:06:51,440 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 1: to make Batman darker and grittier than the last one.

1511
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 1: It's like, you don't have to do that. But okay, uh,

1512
01:06:57,960 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 1: I'm with you. The Heath Ledger Dark KNIGHTE is probably

1513
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,880
Speaker 1: the best one. I will say honorable mention to all

1514
01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 1: of the animated Batman movies. And there was one that

1515
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: was done by a Japanese firm that makes it sort

1516
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,280
Speaker 1: of does like it's like an alternate reality where Batman

1517
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 1: and Joker are in like nineteenth century Japan and their

1518
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: showguns and uh samurais and they're sort of fighting for control.

1519
01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 1: That one was actually weird but very interesting and cool.

1520
01:07:25,080 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 1: So check that one.

1521
01:07:26,600 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 4: And and Fast to the Furious Tokyo Drift I think

1522
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:31,800
Speaker 4: was the best one. So I'm not I don't I'm

1523
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:32,320
Speaker 4: not surprised.

1524
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: Look, okay, you know what I'm saying, dude.

1525
01:07:34,040 --> 01:07:36,320
Speaker 4: And that one, that's that's a great movie, Dude, that's

1526
01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:36,880
Speaker 4: great movie.

1527
01:07:36,960 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: Is there is there anyone on earth who a likes

1528
01:07:40,520 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 1: the Fast and the Furious movies in like a real

1529
01:07:42,800 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: way and be past high school algebra is there? Does

1530
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:49,320
Speaker 1: that does that ven diagram overlap at all?

1531
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:53,360
Speaker 4: Does it have a January sixth connection? I don't know

1532
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:55,520
Speaker 4: about that, Luke. Can we show shit yet?

1615
01:11:33,960 --> 01:11:38,640
Speaker 3: Did you see Tim Elliott hold the glove of tageir Ulambekov,

1616
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 3: which really pissed off coach Habibe Luke.

1617
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, that's insane. I mean you can grab the

1618
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:46,080
Speaker 1: glove obviously on the top of it, and you can

1619
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 1: grab your own glove, which people don't realize you can't

1620
01:11:49,400 --> 01:11:51,360
Speaker 1: grab someone else's glove like that. That's what you all

1621
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 1: Romero did to Tim Kennedy.

1622
01:11:53,760 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 3: Uh, this is part of the high Hi, not Moicano

1623
01:11:56,600 --> 01:11:59,799
Speaker 3: ending Luke where he he got pretty angry, I believe.

1624
01:11:59,880 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 3: To tell me if I'm wrong, that Moi Kana who

1625
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 3: threw blood all over and vehemently pushed back the cutman

1626
01:12:06,120 --> 01:12:08,920
Speaker 3: and the commission members. I think he was mad that

1627
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 3: he thought our DA was taking it easy on him, Luke,

1628
01:12:11,360 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 3: and he didn't.

1629
01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,320
Speaker 4: Want to get embarrassed that way. He wanted to be

1630
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,439
Speaker 4: He's like, you know, end me. You know what I'm saying.

1631
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 4: It was very obi Wan episode four at the end, Luke.

1632
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:26,200
Speaker 1: It was more like Anakin at the end of episode four.

1633
01:12:27,200 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 4: To be honest with you, Anakin was Vader at four, Luke.

1634
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 1: Okay, oh at four? Yes, what am I saying? I'm

1635
01:12:33,360 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 1: in at three? Sorry about that? All right?

01:12:35,479 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 4: All right, hey, Luke, let's keep it going.

01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,439
Speaker 3: the spinning back fist bump from Bruce Buffer.

1641
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:53,360
Speaker 1: Your thoughts, Luke, Let's see that stuff's a little played

1642
01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 1: out to me. The fighters love it, and I guess

1643
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:56,640
Speaker 1: if they love it, that's great. I don't seem to

1644
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:57,559

01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:05,560
Speaker 1: I was supprot well, I mean, look at this. He

1689
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:08,280
Speaker 1: hangs on here and then this dude just lets him.

1690
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: Look at the body punching. Good lord, all right, I'll

01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:22,880
Speaker 4: over the year.

1694
01:15:23,080 --> 01:15:26,479
Speaker 1: Holy crap, dude, those when it happens at MMA A

1695
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,360
Speaker 1: little bit less so a little bit more in boxing.

1696
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,160
Speaker 1: But these ones where they fall backwards but their knees

1697
01:15:31,200 --> 01:15:33,280
Speaker 1: are in front, like they're the knees over toes. Guy,

Speaker 1: that is that is that is always a vis shit

1699
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: knockout gaff.

1700
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:40,640
Speaker 4: Can we go full screen here?

1701
01:15:40,720 --> 01:15:43,720
Speaker 3: We talked about the legend Chocolatito Roman Gonzales and my

1702
01:15:43,800 --> 01:15:46,360
Speaker 3: love for him. Let's just admire his work for a second. No,

1703
01:15:46,880 --> 01:15:49,640
Speaker 3: not only do soft footwork, but that you know he

1704
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 3: won't even always throw a full speed Luke to get

1705
01:15:51,800 --> 01:15:54,960
Speaker 3: off these four or five punch combinations and everything is accurate,

1706
01:15:55,240 --> 01:15:58,759
Speaker 3: and he's moving and he's never I mean, just a master.

1707
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,439
Speaker 1: Dude. Watch how often he put again, Watch how often

1708
01:16:02,479 --> 01:16:04,840
Speaker 1: he's in position and how often he pushes like this

1709
01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: Martinez out of position even if he doesn't land, he

1710
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 1: pushes him out.

1711
01:16:11,080 --> 01:16:13,439
Speaker 3: Great shit, great shit from the legend here, Luke, let's

1712
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:16,360
Speaker 3: go to the hardwood. Rough moment for former NBA player

1713
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:20,599
Speaker 3: Shabaz Muhammad on this breakaway in the Filipino Basketball League.

1714
01:16:21,280 --> 01:16:27,560
Speaker 4: Oh boy, that's uh yeah, I mean you're not supposed.

1715
01:16:27,240 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 1: To wear this our free throw shooting contest is not

1716
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: more glorious than this.

1717
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you're not supposed to wear the Cedric Sabalis

1718
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 3: blindfold during the game, Luke, that's not good at all.

1719
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,080
Speaker 3: All right, Hey, what a week for Canalo Alvarez. The

1720
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,240
Speaker 3: first face off Luke of his May seventh light heavyweight

1721
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:46,280
Speaker 3: title bout with Dimitri Bevall came out at the kickoff

1722
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:48,160
Speaker 3: pressure in San Diego, and Luke, you can see the

1723
01:16:48,680 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 3: very legitimate size difference, as as we talked about Bevall,

1724
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 3: a very very legit one seventy five or unbeaten great boxer.

1725
01:16:55,760 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 3: But this is a stylistically going to be a very

1726
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:00,799
Speaker 3: interesting challenge challenge.

1727
01:17:00,840 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: Bivoll, to me, a little bit smaller than covial Lev.

1728
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: I thought covial lev was taller than Canelo in ways

1729
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,519
Speaker 1: that Bivoll was not obviously Bivoll's bigger, right, But yeah,

1730
01:17:10,640 --> 01:17:12,520
Speaker 1: wasn't covid Leve a lot taller.

1731
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,519
Speaker 3: A lot taller, But he he chose to box to

1732
01:17:14,600 --> 01:17:18,560
Speaker 3: stay safe rather than punch against Canelo, which was Coveleev's

1733
01:17:18,560 --> 01:17:20,519
Speaker 3: calling card, which made that fight so kind of weird.

1734
01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,479
Speaker 3: But you had a great victory for Canelo. Also, Luke,

1735
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:25,599
Speaker 3: let's go to the sound here. You remember I had

1736

Speaker 4: They asked Big Red Luke, What'scadela?

1744
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 6: Joya said that you and Ryan Garcia could potentially fight

1745
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 6: in the Futudi show.

1746
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 4: Comment, that's yoking, is yoking, Luke, that they're just that's

1747
01:17:53,120 --> 01:17:57,360
Speaker 4: just just yoking. But uh, Canelo is a badass.

1748
01:17:57,439 --> 01:18:00,720

01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: drive a luxury automobile around a racetrack. Have you ever

1774
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 1: done that?

1775
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 4: I haven't, but it sounds fun as crap.

1776
01:19:07,760 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: Sounds fun as balls. Except this is before the weight

1777
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: game too. By the way, I couldn't fit in a McLaren.

1778
01:19:13,160 --> 01:19:15,559
Speaker 1: I was too tall for the McLaren so they put

1779
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:17,679
Speaker 1: me in What did they put me in? Like a Porsche?

1780
01:19:18,200 --> 01:19:22,439
Speaker 1: I think, dude driving one of those cars versus the

1781
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 1: ship they sell on the side of the road at

1782
01:19:24,520 --> 01:19:29,719
Speaker 1: some dealership. They're not even in the same league of machine.

1783
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:33,320
Speaker 1: It's it's a completely different experience. I can only imagine.

1784
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you, like, by a rule, don't you have

1785
01:19:36,160 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 1: to get blown if you're driving this car?

1786
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 4: Like?

1787
01:19:37,920 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: I think that's just I think I think.

1788
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:43,040
Speaker 3: It's I mean, look, the package is very Luca in

1789
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 3: terms of the accessories, but I think that is the Uh.

1790
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I need you that, I need surround sound, I

1791
01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:52,839
Speaker 1: need Yokohama tires, and I need to get blown consistently

1792
01:19:53,280 --> 01:19:53,880
Speaker 1: behind the wheel.

1793
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 3: I mean for three billion, Luke, you might it might

1794
01:19:56,280 --> 01:19:59,360
Speaker 3: be justified. All right, Hey, Luke, some people don't have

1795
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,920
Speaker 3: that money. In fact, some can't afford a can opener, Luke,

1796
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:06,680
Speaker 3: But no can opener, no problem for this legend of

1797
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 3: the game.

1800
01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 4: I don't understand it.

1801
01:20:19,240 --> 01:20:26,639
Speaker 1: But wow, right, that dude has definitely seen some crazy

1802
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:27,479
Speaker 1: shit in his life.

1803
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:31,400

1842
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:26,679
Speaker 3: That's who you're fighting. But hey, Nikita Zoo is probably

1843
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:28,959
Speaker 3: right now. We got to follow him, Luke, every step.

1844
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 1: Of the way. Okay, all right, let's do it, all right, Luke.

1845
01:22:31,800 --> 01:22:35,599
Speaker 3: Twenty twenty Olympic silver medallist Richard Torres Junior, the heavyweight

Speaker 3: and he just needed two rounds to dispose of Adam Nelson.

1848
01:22:42,560 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 4: Luke, this was good shit.

1849
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:45,400
Speaker 1: I mean this this was a bit of a donk fest.

1850
01:22:45,439 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Torres looks like he actually might be interesting

1851
01:22:48,479 --> 01:22:51,000
Speaker 1: to follow, but the other guy was. I mean, this

1852
01:22:51,200 --> 01:22:54,080
Speaker 1: was regional mma, but you know, obviously it's not. It

1853

01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just need like a half dressed nurse running

1857
01:23:07,200 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 4: away from Benny. That's what this needs. And then then

1858
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,480
Speaker 4: I me too, Probably.

1859
01:23:11,160 --> 01:23:13,679
Speaker 1: I like how his I like how that dude's entire

1860
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: brand is now impossible in the year twenty twenty two.

1866
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,639
Speaker 1: like on your Comedy Central or TV, it's hard to explain.

1867
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,920
Speaker 1: The dude's brand was sexual harassment and chasing women around

1868
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:37,840
Speaker 1: all day long. That's what it was.

1869
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:40,600
Speaker 4: We used to get it late at night on w

1870
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 4: w p I X eleven out of New York was

1871
01:23:42,880 --> 01:23:45,599
Speaker 4: like the greatest regional cable channel of all time because

1872
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 4: all they ever played was like Charles Bronson movies and

1873
01:23:48,320 --> 01:23:51,280
Speaker 4: shit like that all the time. That channel would play.

1874
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 3: Benny Hill at like one am on the weekends, and like,

1875
01:23:53,320 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 3: as a little kid, you'd run into that, you'd be

1876
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:59,000
Speaker 3: so fired up. Luke okay, Luke Torres could handle himself

1877
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:00,720
Speaker 3: in the ring. He looked pretty decent. But did you

1878
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:04,679
Speaker 3: see him with the Rubik's cube. They claim he's also

1879
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,879
Speaker 3: a magician and he builds rockets.

1880
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:07,880
Speaker 4: I'm not making this up.

1881
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:10,720
Speaker 1: Look there it is.

1882
01:24:10,880 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 4: Wow.

1883
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,840
Speaker 1: I gotta say. Someone was telling me he was close

1884
01:24:13,880 --> 01:24:15,880
Speaker 1: to the end stage when he did this. I don't know,

1885
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:19,960
Speaker 1: because I don't play with the Rubik's cubes, but it

1886
01:24:20,040 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: looks pretty fucking fast to me.

1887
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:21,479

01:24:27,240 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 3: And I don't think that surprises you one bit.

1891
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:31,040
Speaker 1: No, I don't think that it does.

1892
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:31,240

01:27:40,120 --> 01:27:42,479
Speaker 1: wearing venom kits too, by the way, look at that.

Speaker 3: I really don't like the slap shit Luke slapsticks.

1964
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,599
Speaker 1: It started out as like a weird thing they did

1965
01:27:51,680 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 1: on radio stations back in like the late nineties, early

1966
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:56,880
Speaker 1: two thousands, and it just took on a life like this,

1967
01:27:56,960 --> 01:27:59,799
Speaker 1: which I don't quite Yeah, I mean, it's just it's.

2031
01:30:54,920 --> 01:30:56,519
Speaker 1: that in mind, we have time for odds and ends.

2032
01:30:56,520 --> 01:30:56,960
Speaker 1: What do you got?

2033
01:30:57,920 --> 01:30:58,000
Speaker 5: Uh?

2034
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:02,720
Speaker 3: Anthony Joshua has finally announced the new trainer. It didn't

2035
01:31:02,800 --> 01:31:04,599
Speaker 3: end up being the sexy pick we thought it might,

2036
01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 3: as he did kind of a tour the world of

2037
01:31:06,400 --> 01:31:08,639
Speaker 3: the biggest trainers in boxing today. He ends up picking

2038
01:31:08,680 --> 01:31:11,920
Speaker 3: his longtime assistant Angel Fernandez, who, to be honest, Luke,

2039
01:31:11,920 --> 01:31:13,880
Speaker 3: I don't know really much about it all beyond the name,

2040
01:31:14,240 --> 01:31:15,280
Speaker 3: so we'll see what kind.

2041
01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 4: Of effect that has. But Luke, it's it.

2042
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:20,040
Speaker 3: Were obviously in such a weird time because of the

2043
01:31:20,840 --> 01:31:24,720
Speaker 3: Russian invasion in Ukraine and God, the courage of these

2044
01:31:24,880 --> 01:31:28,400
Speaker 3: elite Ukrainian boxers who are just going, you know, just

2045
01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:30,200
Speaker 3: going for it, right to the front line and manning

2046
01:31:30,320 --> 01:31:31,600
Speaker 3: up in army, you know, and all that.

2047
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 4: It's like, it's weird. It's like, I don't even know

2048
01:31:34,080 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 4: what you know.

2049
01:31:36,160 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 3: I mean, it sounds stupid to say, like what the

2050
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:41,280
Speaker 3: heavyweight division, you know, looks like in the next eighteen months,

2051
01:31:41,320 --> 01:31:43,720
Speaker 3: because you know who six the champion, He's got three

2052
01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:45,720
Speaker 3: or four belts. But you know, he was on that

2053
01:31:45,880 --> 01:31:49,479
Speaker 3: CNN interview and you know, the announcer had gotten the

2054
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:52,080
Speaker 3: question asker had gotten controlled for basically saying, you know,

2055
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,240
Speaker 3: when do you think you're a rematch with Joshua will

2056
01:31:54,240 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 3: take place? And he's like, I don't care, you know,

2057
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:01,360
Speaker 3: I never like, you know, my country, my God, my family,

2058
01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 3: like you know, like holy of course, you know, so

2059
01:32:05,600 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 3: it will be interesting, Luke, just in that regard, because

2060
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, Tyson Fury's gonna fight Dillian White, But

2061
01:32:11,320 --> 01:32:13,639
Speaker 3: I don't know what the future brings for Anthony Joshua

2062
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 3: or that rematch or what have you.

2063
01:32:15,880 --> 01:32:18,800
Speaker 4: It's obviously wait and see. In so many more categories,

2064
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:20,599
Speaker 4: way more important than heavyweight boxing.

2065
01:32:20,840 --> 01:32:22,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, last thing on this by the way, I tweeted

2066
01:32:22,560 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 1: it out last night. You can still see it on

2067
01:32:23,880 --> 01:32:26,040
Speaker 1: my timeline. There was you know, it's hard to know

2068
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:28,560
Speaker 1: what information is accurate coming from there. I mean, do

2069
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:30,600
Speaker 1: your best, We're all trying our best. But there was

2070
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:33,639
Speaker 1: a video of a captured Russian soldier sort of explaining

2071
01:32:34,439 --> 01:32:36,640
Speaker 1: his view that like, here's what we thought we were

2072
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:38,880
Speaker 1: going in. We had some reason to think that, you know,

2073
01:32:39,080 --> 01:32:42,439
Speaker 1: maybe we didn't exactly understand it, but they basically believed

2074
01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:44,800
Speaker 1: that the Ukrainians were waiting to be This was what

2075
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,400
Speaker 1: he said, that they understood their job as a humanitarian

2076
01:32:48,439 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 1: act and the Ukrainess were waiting to be liberated. They

2077
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:52,800
Speaker 1: weren't totally sure, but that was their general orientation. And

2078
01:32:52,880 --> 01:32:55,200
Speaker 1: he said the first time he was really jolted awake,

2079
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:57,519
Speaker 1: and how untrue that was was. He says his two

2080
01:32:57,560 --> 01:32:59,840
Speaker 1: favorite boxers and he mentions him by name, where Usik

2081
01:32:59,880 --> 01:33:02,839
Speaker 1: and Limachenko, And he said when they joined the resistance,

2082
01:33:02,880 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 1: he was like, oh, oh right, like this is not

2083
01:33:07,160 --> 01:33:09,200
Speaker 1: at all what we thought it was. But he mentions

2084
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,160
Speaker 1: them by name in this video. So if you haven't

2085
01:33:11,160 --> 01:33:13,799
Speaker 1: seen it again, you know who knows what's accurate and whatnot,

2086
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:15,960
Speaker 1: but it was a it was an interesting piece of

2087
01:33:16,240 --> 01:33:19,120
Speaker 1: content to say to say this put it mildly off,

2088
01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:19,920
Speaker 1: put it that way anyway.

2089
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, dude, holy holy, holy crap.

2090
01:33:22,680 --> 01:33:22,880
Speaker 1: Luke.

2091
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:24,720
Speaker 4: It's uh, it's rough, Luke.

2092
01:33:24,760 --> 01:33:27,240
Speaker 3: And by the way, not related at all, but kind

2093
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 3: of related. First, I wanted to make sure are you're

2094
01:33:28,600 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 3: going to do Umar and Normaga metof in your extra

2095
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 3: credit because that guy.

2096
01:33:32,040 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 1: Deserves a lot of talking about I am I am ye.

2097
01:33:34,720 --> 01:33:38,639
Speaker 3: And number two, the Marina Moreau's moment, you know, being

2098
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,920
Speaker 3: from Ukraine and in a very emotional speech and I'm

2099
01:33:40,920 --> 01:33:41,519
Speaker 3: glad they get you know.

2100
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:42,920
Speaker 4: Joe even gave it the mic and was like, go

2101
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:44,000
Speaker 4: for it. It was great.

2102
01:33:44,520 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 3: But uh, what'd you feel about some of the Russian fighters,

2103
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,000
Speaker 3: you know, getting booed because it's like, you.

2104
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,639
Speaker 1: Know, not Habib, they didn't boo Hernibe.

2105
01:33:54,200 --> 01:33:56,040
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, but like these guys aren't on the

2106
01:33:56,040 --> 01:33:58,559
Speaker 4: front lines trying to trying to make this war happen, so.

2107
01:33:59,040 --> 01:34:01,639
Speaker 1: I know these are just ordinary people. I don't. I don't.

2108
01:34:01,640 --> 01:34:03,320
Speaker 1: I mean again, I go back to the famous story

2109
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:06,800
Speaker 1: during Bodog Fight when Trevor Prangley fought Yuki Condo, I

2110
01:34:06,800 --> 01:34:09,880
Speaker 1: think in Philly or somewhere like that, and the whole

2111
01:34:09,920 --> 01:34:12,680
Speaker 1: crowd was chanting USA, USA, and but the problem is

2112
01:34:12,760 --> 01:34:15,639
Speaker 1: Trevor Prangley is from South Africa. They just couldn't tell.

2113
01:34:15,760 --> 01:34:18,240
Speaker 1: So that was always a fun little thing. I don't

2114
01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:19,520
Speaker 1: try to get to racism.

2115
01:34:19,800 --> 01:34:21,479
Speaker 4: Racism. Yeah, look I got.

2116
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:25,519
Speaker 1: It's like you're cheering for the white guy just because

2117
01:34:25,520 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 1: he's It's a little bit of problem. But okay, we'll

2118
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:31,479
Speaker 1: have to see what all that well happens there my

2119
01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:35,560
Speaker 1: quick quick odds and ends. They put this on the broadcast.

2120
01:34:35,600 --> 01:34:37,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have otherwise known about it. But Drake, the

2121
01:34:38,040 --> 01:34:42,840
Speaker 1: hip hop artist from Canada bet two hundred and seventy

2122
01:34:43,160 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars BC on Masvidol and then lost it all.

2123
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,920
Speaker 1: Now BC, isn't there a Drake curse? Where I guess

2124
01:34:53,040 --> 01:34:56,240
Speaker 1: like he was like supporting like Duke or unc or whoever,

2125
01:34:56,280 --> 01:34:57,800
Speaker 1: and they would lose, and then he'd show up to

2126
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:00,639
Speaker 1: like some other sporting event they would all fucking lose,

2127
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:03,599
Speaker 1: and the McGregor and he lost to Mayweather boy.

2128
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:07,519
Speaker 4: Saying Kentucky basketball, Alabama football.

2129
01:35:08,040 --> 01:35:10,360
Speaker 1: That's right, because he's also like he's also like a

2130
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:12,719
Speaker 1: bandwagon fan, where like I mean, he's not a bandwagon

2131
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:14,800
Speaker 1: fan for the Raptors because he's from Toronto, I guess.

2132
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:18,080
Speaker 1: But uh, for like the American teams, he just blombs

2133
01:35:18,120 --> 01:35:20,280
Speaker 1: on too, like the big winning programs or whatever.

2134
01:35:21,400 --> 01:35:26,560
Speaker 3: Anyway, celebrity celebrities are leeches to hot winning teams and

2135
01:35:27,360 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 3: rubbing their star against it.

2136
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:30,720
Speaker 4: Luke, we know that shit, all right.

2137
01:35:31,040 --> 01:35:35,120
Speaker 1: See what sports team if one sport if you if

2138
01:35:35,160 --> 01:35:37,000
Speaker 1: we if this show just blew up and we were like,

2139
01:35:37,080 --> 01:35:39,240
Speaker 1: you know, ten times bigger than Joe Rogan podcasts, bigger

2140
01:35:39,240 --> 01:35:41,400
Speaker 1: than you could ever imagine, And there could be one

2141
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:44,479
Speaker 1: sports team who could offer you season tickets for life.

2142
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: Who would it be that you take it from?

2143
01:35:48,880 --> 01:35:53,639
Speaker 4: Great question, Luke, College AM pro or just pro college

2144
01:35:53,680 --> 01:36:00,760
Speaker 4: and pro? I get bought the Boss and Celtics would

2145
01:36:00,760 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 4: be my pick. But I was considering Penn State football, Luke,

2146
01:36:03,720 --> 01:36:05,639
Speaker 4: but I don't really want to spend that many days

2147
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:06,599
Speaker 4: in Happy Valley though.

2148
01:36:06,520 --> 01:36:10,439
Speaker 1: You know, Yeah, I won't go there. I will not

2149
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:10,960
Speaker 1: go there.

2150
01:36:11,080 --> 01:36:13,560
Speaker 4: No, not because of that. No, I will not go

2151
01:36:13,720 --> 01:36:15,200
Speaker 4: there because.

2152
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,720
Speaker 1: He's like hashtags and dusky. Yeah, I would have liked

2153
01:36:19,760 --> 01:36:21,679
Speaker 1: to have picked the Commanders, but they're just so awful.

2154
01:36:21,680 --> 01:36:24,080
Speaker 1: I can't. I would probably go with the Wizards, even

2155
01:36:24,120 --> 01:36:27,240
Speaker 1: though it's not really an inspiring choice. All right, BC,

2156
01:36:27,360 --> 01:36:27,960
Speaker 1: that is it for us?

2157
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:28,120

Speaker 3: food on my shirt right out of my mouth every meal,

2171
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 3: probably every meal.

2172
01:37:02,920 --> 01:37:05,400
Speaker 1: Look, BC, we find out that stuff is on the

2173
01:37:05,520 --> 01:37:07,840
Speaker 1: store by going to the store. We don't ever see
