Speaker 8: It is episode four oh eight of the Annakin Florian Podcast.

17
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,840
Speaker 8: I'm here in New York City doing a little bit

18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 8: of voiceover work on the back end of the pay

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 8: per view. My man can flow and is beautiful home studio.

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 8: Nine Peruvian fighters in UFC history and Kenny Florian does

21
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 8: not count.

22
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: That's pretty messed up that you don't counts. That is

23
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: messed up, do you.

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 5: I wasn't born in Peru, so I get that, I understand,

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 5: but both my parents from Peru. So technically, if I

26
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 5: wanted to, I could have my Peruvian visa.

27
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: Just whip it out.

28
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 8: Yes, So I asked our producers at Candido in our

29
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 8: fighter meeting when I learned that we were going to

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 8: be showing this graphic of Peruvian fighters, I said, this

31
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 8: is my man.

32
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 1: Can flow count?

33
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 8: And he said, well, did Kenny ever walk out with

34
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 8: the Peruvian flag? And I said, as the president of

35
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 8: Team Floury and I can tell you he did not.

36
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 8: But you texted me after we mentioned you verbally on

37
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 8: the broadcast that you did have the Pruvian flag on

38
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 8: your shorts at.

39
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: One point A few times.

40
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 5: A few times, dude, So I mean, does that like

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 5: a half point I get like a little mentioned at

42
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 5: the bubtle asterisk?

43
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 8: Zach Candido, let me know, I think that it counts

44
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 8: Peruvian American? Kenny Florian, we're both your parents born in

45
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 8: Peru or No? Yes, yes, yes, as far as I'm concerned,

46
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 8: this kid's a Peruvian. Plenty more on that coming up.

47
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 8: A lot to get to today. We will recap UFC

48
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 8: two to eighty eight. Ray Longo going to join us

49
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,680
Speaker 8: here in about twenty minutes or so. And Sean Sheen

50
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 8: was one of many people putting Ray Longo over on

51
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 8: social media this weekend. What a tremendous coaching career for

52
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 8: Ray Longo. And this weekend I think really serve to

53
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 8: put a capstone on that.

54
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: We will talk to.

55
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 8: Ray about all of that, and uh, just a tremendous

56
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 8: weekend across the board for the UFC. And I want

57
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 8: to begin, of course with the main event Al Jamaine

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 8: Sterling and Henry Sahudo. I have not had a chance

59
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 8: to watch this fight back, which I guess is neither

60
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 8: here nor there, But the UFC Bantamweight Championship goes to

61
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 8: a split decision. Al Jamaine Sterling emerges with his belt.

62
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 8: He becomes the first bantam weight champion to thrice successfully

63
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 8: defend this title. Now, one of the judges gave al

64
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 8: Jamaine Sterling round five. I thought round five was the

65
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 8: easiest round two score for Henry's hudo. Now I could

66
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 8: be wrong, right, but had this judge scored round five

67
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 8: for Henry Suhudo as many of us saw it for Henry,

68
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 8: we'd have a different result today.

69
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: I thought the fight was close.

70
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 8: I did think al Jamaine Sterling had a three to

71
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 8: one lead going into that fifth round. Overall thoughts on

72
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 8: what was a very technical, counter wrestling, counter attacking type

73
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 8: Maine event over the weekend, it.

74
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Was a beautiful fight.

75
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 5: So I'd like to put this into context, just coming

76
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 5: from where I came from, where you know, it was

77
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 5: often repeated that one hundred and thirty five pounders, one

78
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: hundred and forty five pounders, one hundred and fifty five

79
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 5: pounders don't really sell fights, they don't sell pay per views.

80
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 5: You know, you had a sold out arena there between

81
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 5: because of these guys, and it was a fight that

82
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 5: was highly anticipated, not only from the hardcore fans, but

83
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 5: from the fans in general. And I think that's a

84
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: big moment in the sport, and I think it's important

85
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 5: to appreciate that and understand that, you know, that was

86
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 5: not always the case in mixed martial arts and where

87
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 5: this sport has come, I think was a great achievement.

88
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,839
Speaker 5: We had two fantastic fighters going out at two very

89
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 5: different styles, and I thought that it was a great

90
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: performance from Henry Sujudo, a guy that did not fight

91
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 5: for over three year, for three years and still put

92
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 5: on a phenomenal performance.

93
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Did he win the fight, I didn't think so.

94
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 5: I thought Al Jamaine did an excellent job of winning

95
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 5: the rounds and doing so at the right time, and

96
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 5: that was the big concern for me, coming off this

97
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 5: long layoff for Henry Sudo, was making those right decisions

98
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: during the fight when you need to. I was unsure

99
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 5: of that sharpness and that decision making coming off that

100
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 5: three year layoff. That absolutely matters. It's one thing to

101
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: do things in training and to stick to a game plan,

102
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: and I thought he did that, But to make the

103
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 5: right adjustments during the fight, I think is what hurt

104
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 5: Henry Suhudo. It was close, but I when I went

105
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 5: back and watched which was just a couple hours ago, John,

106
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 5: I actually scored it four rounds to one for Aljo.

107
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 5: I had all three rounds going into it. Fourth round

108
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 5: I thought was a much better start for Henry Sudo.

109
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 5: He was moving forward. But I thought that last series

110
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 5: and some of the exchanges were in Aljo's favor as well.

111
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 5: Round time, as you mentioned, John, absolutely was for Henry Sujudo.

112
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can't see that for Henry Sujudo.

113
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 1: The judges scorecards were all over the place. They really were.

114
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,679
Speaker 1: On this weekend.

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 8: We had an earlier prelim between Chaos Williams and the

116
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 8: Peruvian Rolando Badoya, and one of the judges scored at

117
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 8: thirty to twenty seven for Rolando Bodoya, who ended up

118
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 8: on the wrong side of a split decision. I thought

119
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 8: he deserved to beat the near four to one favorite

120
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 8: Chaos Williams, so largely the judges were all over the

121
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 8: place as far as I was concerned on Saturday night,

122
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 8: But I do believe the rightful winner won the main event.

123
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 8: Aljamin Stererling is still your UFC Vandamway champion. I want

124
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 8: to stick on Henry Suhudo though, for a second, because

125
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 8: I just love watching this man compete. He's just such

126
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 8: a great competitor, master strategist. It's amazing to dive into

127
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 8: just how meticulous his training camp is. And let's say

128
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,800
Speaker 8: Henry Shudo made a half a million dollars on Saturday night.

129
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: Maybe he made more.

130
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 8: Maybe as a challenger he got pay per viewpoints just

131
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 8: given his status never lost the belt in the octagon.

132
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 8: I got to think he spent a quarter of a

133
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 8: million dollars, if not more, on this training camp.

134
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: Kenny.

135
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 8: I mean, he brought in so many different people from

136
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 8: all walks of life, and I just think mixed martial

137
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 8: arts is better with Henry so Huto in it. Like, yeah,

138
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 8: he's cringy. Yeah, he's annoying, but as a fighter man,

139
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 8: I just think he's special and I really enjoy watching

140
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 8: him strategize, watching him compete.

141
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: There's no question that he's special.

142
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 5: I think that the level that he brings to the octagon,

143
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 5: I think that the one hundred and thirty five pound

144
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 5: division needs him. And he answered a lot of questions

145
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 5: in his postfight press conference, which I went back and

146
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 5: watched earlier today. And he's a competitor. He's doing this

147
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: for no other reason than wanting to be the best.

148
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,120
Speaker 5: He wants to be the greatest of all time. He

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 5: wanted to go in here beat al Joe, beat him handily,

150
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 5: like with without any doubt, and they go up to

151
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty five pounds and beat Alexander Volkanowski

152
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: Like that's what's going on in his head and how

153
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: he sees himself. And while he didn't pull that off,

154
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: I thought that he had an amazing performance. Round two

155
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: could have gone his way as well. In my opinion,

156
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 5: when I wake back and watch that, I think there's

157
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 5: a case there for sure.

158
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: But you know, did he win the fight?

159
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 5: No, And again, if he wanted to do something like

160
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 5: go up and fight Alexander Volkanowski. I think, yeah, he

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 5: needed to not only beat al Jamaine, but beat him

162
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 5: without any doubt, go out there and almost dominate him

163
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: right in order to do that that considering he's the

164
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 5: one hundred and twenty five pound former champion, hundred and

165
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 5: thirty five pounds former champion, So yeah, but still the

166
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 5: kind of athletics, the kind of intelligence that he brings

167
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 5: to the octagon, I think it was It was great

168
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 5: to have him back, and I hope he does stick

169
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 5: around because I still think he has a few more

170
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 5: excellent years in him.

171
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 8: I couldn't agree with you more as far as what

172
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 8: weight class you would like to see Henry sudo in.

173
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 8: I think some people bret O Kamodo and others had

174
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 8: suggested maybe he moves up to one hundred and forty

175
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 8: five pounds. Max Holloway is without an obvious opponent. He

176
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 8: has called for the Korean zombie Chan Sung Jong. I

177
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 8: think you could do worse than Sahudo versus Holloway as

178
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 8: a featherweight main event. But Henry small Man, I just

179
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 8: am not sure that the long term future, even three

180
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 8: more fights are going to be at forty five. I

181
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 8: would like to see him try to regroup at thirty

182
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 8: five and make one more concerted effort at the bantamweight title.

183
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 8: Your thoughts on all of that.

184
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, in today's modern UFC world where you have, you know,

185
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 5: huge guys in the divisions, Like again, you saw Volkanowski

186
00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 5: go up and compete against Isla Mahashchef. Now he did

187
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: great one too, but I think size link absolutely matters.

188
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 5: And I think the same case for Max Holloway who

189
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 5: went up to one hundred fifty five pounds when he

190
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 5: faced Dustin Pourier. You know, weight size mass absolutely matters

191
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 5: when you're talking about two guys colliding there inside the octagon,

192
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 5: and yeah, I would not want to see him at

193
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty five pounds. I think one hundred

194
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 5: and thirty five pounds is the perfect division for him.

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 5: I know that's not an easy cut necessarily for him

196
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 5: because he is very muscular, but that's his division, that's

197
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,320
Speaker 5: where he belongs.

198
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: And who knows, man.

199
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 5: You get a fighter too, and he could get back

200
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 5: in there either against Al Joe whoever is the camp

201
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 5: at that point, because I know al jo is considering

202
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 5: a move to one hundred and forty five pounds as well.

203
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 8: Right now, Henry Shudo can monetize his YouTube channel, he

204
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 8: can get back into real estate, which seemingly was what

205
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 8: he was going to do flippant houses when he left

206
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 8: the UFC.

207
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: But the best place for him to make money is

208
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 1: the octagon. And I do believe one man's opinion that

209
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 1: this return was financially driven. Certainly he's a competitor. Certainly

210
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: he's chasing further greatness, but ken full, let us be

211
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 1: crystal clear on this. Other than a Connor McGregor fight,

212
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: a fight between Henry Sahudo and Shan O'Malley at one

213
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty five pounds would be one of the

214
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: biggest money makers for the UFC. Ever, one hundred and

215
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,439
Speaker 1: fifty five pounds on down, at least one hundred and

216
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: forty five pounds on down, that's probably a big seven

217
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: figure payday for Henry Sahudo as the champion getting pay

218
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: per view points. So I think a big impetus for

219
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: the Henry Zhudo return was that he liked the matchup

220
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 1: against al Jermaine Sterling and that Sean O'Malley Carrot was dangling.

221
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 1: Sean O'Malley is the needle mover in this spantamweight division.

222
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 1: He's one of the five biggest needle movers in this company.

223
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: And had Henry Sahudo gotten that fifth round on Derek

224
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: Cleary scorecard, Henry Sahudo's probably making four or five million

225
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 1: dollars fighting Shan O'Malley in August or September.

226
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 5: Right exactly. And I'm sure he probably saw that path

227
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 5: as well. There's no doubt. I mean, that's a very

228
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 5: strong point. He could make a lot of money in

229
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 5: this sport. And you know, I think the path to

230
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 5: that is obviously Sean O'Malley, so very interesting there.

231
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:08,079
Speaker 8: I mean, how many hell does he have to sell

232
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,800
Speaker 8: to make five million dollars? I'm not exactly sure. So

233
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,439
Speaker 8: you may have heard us say on the broadcast August nineteenth,

234
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 8: two thousand and eight, Henri Shudo wins the Olympic gold medal.

235
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 8: He told the UFC he would like to compete on

236
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 8: August nineteenth, twenty twenty three, fifteen year anniversary of him

237
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 8: winning the gold medal, and we were able to let

238
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 8: the bro the masses know that UFC two ninety two

239
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,359
Speaker 8: August nineteenth indeed is targeted for TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.

240
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 8: To that end, Dana White said at the postfight press

241
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 8: conference that he would like al Jamaine Sterling to fight

242
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 8: Sean O'Malley in Boston at UFC two ninety two on

243
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 8: August nineteenth. Now that is like thirteen weeks away. And

244
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 8: when Sean O'Malley went into the octagon, however, wayward a

245
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 8: decision that was and shout out to may Rob Dwallas.

246
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 8: Willy Rest assured he's going to get plenty of shine.

247
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 8: During the Red Long Go minute, may Rob stole the

248
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 8: jacket and stole the show. But al Jamaine Sterling Kenny,

249
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 8: who just had probably the worst weight cut of his

250
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 8: championship reign, to turn around in thirteen weeks. I do

251
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 8: think this is strategic. You know, Aljo in the octagon

252
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 8: was like September, and you got a champion who's willing

253
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 8: to turn around in four months. I would take that

254
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 8: every day of the week. But it does seem as

255
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 8: though there may be a push promotionally, a strong arm

256
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 8: to try to get al Jo to fight in Boston

257
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:25,319
Speaker 8: August nineteenth. He has said he does not want to

258
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 8: do that, wants to fight in Las Vegas. We'll see

259
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 8: what happens. But the next fight is going to be

260
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 8: Sean O'Malley and al Jamaine Sterling, and I do hope

261
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 8: maybe it can happen on the champion's timeline. I'm curious

262
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 8: what you think about that particular matchup and how both

263
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 8: guys will hold up in the respective strength of the other.

264
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that.

265
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 5: That still in my opinion, if I'm looking at it

266
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 5: from the outside in looking at it honestly, I still

267
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,160
Speaker 5: think that gives Aljo plenty of time. I think it

268
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 5: gives him plenty of time to chill, relax, get big again,

269
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: and you know, eat the food that he wants for

270
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 5: a little bit and then get right back into training camp.

271
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 5: So at a time wise, I think that that works out,

272
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 5: and I think that would be advantageous for him. For O'Malley,

273
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 5: I think that he's an excellent striker. He's going to

274
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 5: have that length and reach advantage over al Jo. It

275
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 5: all comes down to can't al Joe go in there,

276
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 5: bridge that gap and take him down.

277
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: Now.

278
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 5: O'Malley is an improving grappler, no question about it. I

279
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 5: would say there are certain aspects of his game that

280
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 5: might be even dangerous, you know, with his submission game,

281
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 5: and but I don't think he's going to be a

282
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 5: threat towards someone like al Jamaine Sterling on the ground.

283
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:41,959
Speaker 5: I think that's where al Jo can not only win

284
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 5: that fight, but actually dominate and just look beastly in

285
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 5: the process and then go, yeah, motherfuckers, I'm going up

286
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 5: one hundred and forty five pounds. I've cleaned out the division.

287
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 5: Take it easy, and then opens the door for his

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:14:00,280
Speaker 5: buddy Morob Duwalace. Really now on the feet though, again

289
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:04,360
Speaker 5: O'Malley is just sharp. He brings that length and he

290
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 5: knows how to utilize it, his speed, his power, he

291
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: knows how to find your chin. He's extremely crafty, and

292
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 5: you know, if you're facing someone like al.

293
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 1: Joe, you're going to be working on your grappling.

294
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 5: And I think that's been the big focus for him

295
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 5: in his camp, I'm sure for the last couple of years,

296
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: is hey, we have this you striking advantage. Let's just

297
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,480
Speaker 5: make sure our grappling, our wrestling is good. And hey,

298
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 5: who knows, maybe he's that good of an athlete that

299
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,760
Speaker 5: maybe he does come back and that is short up

300
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 5: and he surprises everybody. But you know, there's no question

301
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 5: in my mind that as far as a striker in

302
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 5: that division.

303
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: There's very few people that can contend with him. There.

304
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 5: Corey Sanhagen maybe the only one who can kind of

305
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 5: move with him and and hang with that kind of style.

306
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 5: But dude's that's a phenomenal fight. So Sean O'Malley is

307
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 5: a willing and able grappler. He did compete against Gilbert

308
00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 5: Melendez and Quintet Ultra is very game. I'm not trying

309
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 5: to compare Gilbert Melendez's ground game to the human backpack

310
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 5: al Jamaine Sterling, But to your point, what the fuck

311
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 5: do we think these guys have been doing for the

312
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 5: last two years?

313
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 8: His jiu jitsu coach is a former Algae opponent. If

314
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 8: I'm not mistaken o Gusto tankin Yo Mendez, you gotta

315
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 8: think everything they've been doing is to try to shore

316
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 8: up those defenses to avoid getting their back taken.

317
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: Right.

318
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 8: So, I do feel like Sterling is going to have

319
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 8: a decided advantage on the ground, but I'm not sure

320
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 8: it's quite as pronounced as O'Malley's advantage could be on

321
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,080
Speaker 8: the feet, with the length and the size and just

322
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 8: the athleticism overall, like go see Sean O'Malley shoot a basketball.

323
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 8: This is a plus athlete in every sense. Now, I

324
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 8: do believe al Jamain Sterling is gonna be the betting favorite,

325
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 8: but I think it's a very competitive fight and we

326
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 8: may not have to wait all that long for it.

327
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 8: I have a few other things I want to get

328
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 8: to on al Jamaine Sterling. Now, I got to stop

329
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 8: with the superlative conversations. I got to stop with all

330
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 8: the greatest of all time stuff because I just get

331
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 8: myself in trouble.

332
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: Right.

333
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 8: But I had said before this fight that if Aljamin

334
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 8: Sterling beat ten Recento, he'll have the most bandam weight

335
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 8: wins in UFC history, he'll have the most title defenses

336
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 8: in UFC history, and he'll be the greatest bandam weight

337
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 8: of all time.

338
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily.

339
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 8: Think I was looking at the greatest bandam weight of

340
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 8: all time on Saturday Night. Right, he gets the win

341
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 8: over Henry Sahudo. It was close, certainly in terms of

342
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 8: his accomplishments. I feel like he slightly edges over Dominic Cruz,

343
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 8: who competed in a different era, largely in the WEC.

344
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 8: But I'm not willing to anoint al Jo right now today,

345
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 8: with all due respect, I don't necessarily want to get

346
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 8: your thoughts on that as much as I want to

347
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 8: get your thoughts on some of the venom for al

348
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 8: Jamain Sterling. He was competing in the Tri State area,

349
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 8: right and seemingly had the crowd during the week. But

350
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 8: yet all of a sudden, Kenny, the fight begins, and

351
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 8: about an hour from home, everybody's fucking chanting Henry. And

352
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 8: then when the decision is announced, Al Jamain Sterling is

353
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 8: getting booed in the Tri State area, And then when

354
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 8: Henry Sahudo gets a microphone in his face, everybody starts

355
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 8: cheering again. So I have said oftentimes that the most

356
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 8: basic human need is to feel appreciate it. And as

357
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 8: great a night as this was for Aljamin Sterling and

358
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 8: as thick as his fucking skin is, Kenfler is not

359
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 8: getting booed at TV Garden in Boston, And I think

360
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 8: that had to sting a little bit to not be

361
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 8: the fan favorite at home.

362
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I'm sure it did.

363
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 5: That must have been tough for Aljo in that regard,

364
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 5: but hey, listen, at the end of the day, he's.

365
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: Got the belt and that's what matters most. But you're right.

366
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 5: I think this is this story that sometimes surrounds fighters, right,

367
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,119
Speaker 5: and they tend to have certain themes which I also

368
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 5: find extremely interesting.

369
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:33,240
Speaker 1: And the theme for Aljo has.

370
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 5: Been there is no easy path no matter what, There's

371
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 5: always something that comes up for the guy. But I

372
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,080
Speaker 5: think this is also what makes him so damn tough

373
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 5: and resilient. He has had this path towards the belt,

374
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 5: towards being a champion in the UFC that hasn't been

375
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 5: this direct line. And I think that for a lot

376
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 5: of people that end up being very successful, you know,

377
00:17:57,840 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: you know, we'll look back on this and we'll say, oh, man,

378
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 5: he had this championship run that was just perfect and

379
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 5: beautiful and so smooth. But the reality is rarely is

380
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 5: a path to the top this straight line. It is

381
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 5: often this roller coaster ride, and man, hasn't been a

382
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 5: roller coaster ride for jan Joe. No matter who he

383
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 5: beats or whatever it is, there's always people that are

384
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 5: going to dispute it. But yeah, I mean that's why

385
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,280
Speaker 5: you have this controversy and perhaps this dispute over whether

386
00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 5: he is the greatest phantom weight of all time. For me,

387
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 5: after beating someone like Henry the quality of a Henry

388
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 5: Sahudo who has also you know, beaten guys like Domina Cruz,

389
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 5: and I think I think he does achieve that, no

390
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 5: question about it. And I haven't always been on the

391
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 5: Al Joe bandwagon, but after seeing what he's accomplished here,

392
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 5: you know, despite all the other things that injured TJ. Dillashaw,

393
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 5: you know, the first fight against Peoterr yah yah, yeah, YadA,

394
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 5: I think he keeps putting those things to rest, and

395
00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: his story is not completely written just yet. I would

396
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,560
Speaker 5: not want to see him at one hundred and forty

397
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 5: five pounds, of being honest, I think you should stay

398
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 5: at one thirty five three. Make his money there. I

399
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 5: think that would be a little bit too risky towards

400
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: his legacy. However, Man's he's he is writing quite the

401
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 5: story right now. This New Jersey crowd really seemed to

402
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 5: enjoy booing all night long, whether it was the grappling

403
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 5: or their hometown champion Jersey Man.

404
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

405
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 8: But you know, for Al Jamain Sterling, I hate to

406
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 8: say he's an acquired taste, right because he's a really

407
00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 8: genuine guy and I think the more you get to

408
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 8: know him, the more you really do like him, but

409
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,040
Speaker 8: Ray Longo would be the first to tell you he

410
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 8: is a little bit of a quirky guy and hard

411
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 8: to understand. Yeah, he's not necessarily the most charismatic guy

412
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 8: in the world, even though I do think he has

413
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 8: a dynamic personality, But he just hasn't necessarily resonated with

414
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 8: the fan base. And when you parlay that disposition not

415
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 8: connecting with the fan base with his title reign, which

416
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 8: includes the DQ against Pyotr Jan, a fight that against

417
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 8: Jan in the reingmatch that I didn't think was particularly

418
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 8: close but some people thought Yan won, then the Dilla

419
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 8: Shaw injury, and now a close fight against Henry Shudo.

420
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 8: Even though most of us think Al Joe one, I

421
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 8: just think he hasn't necessarily had that definitive result since

422
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 8: the Corey Sandhagen fight that would win him some appeal

423
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 8: in the court of public opinion. But al Jamaine Sterling

424
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 8: is going into the UFC Hall of Fame. This winning streak.

425
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 8: When you look at the scalps on it is absolutely incredible,

426
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 8: and you know, maybe he with a finish over Shan

427
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 8: O'Malley will start to get some of that respect that

428
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 8: he deserves. But from people like you, Kenny, and the

429
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 8: people that he really cares about. You know, he's getting

430
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 8: that respect.

431
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 5: So yeah, and rightfully so this sport again, it's just

432
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 5: it's so different than even when you know, when I

433
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 5: was fighting. You know, the the level of competition, dude,

434
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 5: and the amount of killers that are out there. To

435
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,080
Speaker 5: get to the top, even to challenge for the belt,

436
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 5: you got to be a damn savage. And to see

437
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 5: him go out there win that belt and defend the belt,

438
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 5: you know, that's it right there.

439
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: That's the biggest.

440
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 5: Statement you can make. And you know, I'm curious to

441
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 5: see what other challenges he does. You know he has

442
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 5: going forward. You know O'Malley in a lot of ways

443
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 5: might be one of the easier matchups from a style standpoint.

444
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 5: Not to say he's not dangerous, because he's going to

445
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 5: be in a lot of danger standing up with someone

446
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:24,479
Speaker 5: like Sean O'Malley, but he already has achieved you know,

447
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 5: a high level of greatness already, I think, And yeah,

448
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 5: I'm curious to see where where it all goes.

449
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 1: Man.

450
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:34,160
Speaker 8: Congratulations to the funk Master Aljamain Sterling still the bantamweight champion.

451
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 8: More on him coming up with Longo and right now,

452
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,199
Speaker 8: by the way, on DraftKings Sportsbook, Aljamaine Sterling minus two hundred,

453
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 8: the betting favorite Sean O'Malley comes back at plus one seventy.

454
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 8: All right, so let us get to the co main event. Blao,

455
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,159
Speaker 8: remember the name Muhammad gets it done. I thought he

456
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 8: won all five rounds against Gilbert Burns, whose left shoulder

457
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 8: was compromised in round one. And let me just say

458
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 8: this about the interpersonal nature of this fight. There's an

459
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 8: emotional investment for a lot of us. You can't help

460
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 8: but get close to these athletes. I'm exceedingly close with

461
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 8: a lot of these fighters, even Matt the steamroll of

462
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 8: for Bola. Even though my relationship with Drew dober goes

463
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 8: all the way back to season the live season The

464
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,919
Speaker 8: Ultimate Fighter in twenty twelve, Matt for Bowl has been

465
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 8: on the podcast a million times. I have an intimate

466
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 8: relationship with his father's twin brother. He trains under Ray Longo.

467
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 8: You're going to develop friendships. Doesn't mean it's going to

468
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 8: bleed into the call. But let me just tell this audience,

469
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 8: if I may, if I were to invite ten UFC

470
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 8: fighters to my second wedding, if I get divorced and

471
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 8: married again. Hopefully that doesn't happen. Gilbert Burns and Blom

472
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 8: Muhammed are two of those ten. But we launched a

473
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,080
Speaker 8: shoulder program on the antikin Florian podcast YouTube channel about

474
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 8: two years ago, and we wanted to find a fighter

475
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 8: who was on the rise, who we thought could make

476
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,680
Speaker 8: a run of contention, but didn't necessarily have a huge following.

477
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 8: We wanted to make sure we had a fighter who

478
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 8: would show up forty plus times a year to do

479
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 8: the show. Blam Muhammad was the guy that you, Me

480
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 8: and Cody settled on. We handpicked him. He was unranked

481
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 8: at the time, he had like eight thousand Instagram followers,

482
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 8: and now Balah Muhammad is fighting for the championship, and

483
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:10,960
Speaker 8: fuck if I'm not allowed to be happy about it.

484
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 8: I'm disappointed for Gilbert obviously, I'm hoping that his shoulder

485
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 8: is okay. But Bala Mohammed has worked for this title

486
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 8: shot essentially for fifteen years. He put all chips in

487
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 8: the center of the table with an injured left foot.

488
00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 8: He knew that this big fight against Gilbert Burns may

489
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 8: not materialize if he didn't take it here, and now

490
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 8: he did he wins it, and now he's undeniable.

491
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 5: I mean, you didn't leave me a whole lot of

492
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 5: room there. Man, You suw it up. You summed it

493
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 5: up beautifully. I mean, what else can you say after that?

494
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 5: What's so interesting about bellaal is that you know, he's

495
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,159
Speaker 5: this guy and I'm just being really honest. You look

496
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 5: at his game, You're like, there's nothing that really stands out.

497
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: You know, there's nothing that wows you. He just knows

498
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: how to win rounds.

499
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 5: And he is one of the most intelligent fighters inside

500
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 5: the octagon that I've ever seen. He always has the

501
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,159
Speaker 5: right approach and then executes on that approach. This is

502
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:09,479
Speaker 5: not this is not easy to do at the highest level, okay,

503
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 5: and he has done it in a lot of ways, quietly,

504
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 5: little by little, And I think that's another reason why

505
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 5: I've kind of slept on him. And man, I mean,

506
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 5: how many times do I need to say he has

507
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,360
Speaker 5: wowed me and surprised me. He has done this throughout

508
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,639
Speaker 5: his career and I know I'm not the only one.

509
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 5: But talk about all the things outside of it, John,

510
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 5: like we will, like we talked about this was already

511
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 5: a close fight for me, you know, I wasn't sure

512
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 5: which way I was going to go, but all those

513
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 5: things coming off of Ramadan, three weeks to prepare for

514
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 5: a five round fight, and then you add on that

515
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 5: other layer of an injured ankle, like, come on, who's

516
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 5: going to do that and who's going to.

517
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,760
Speaker 1: Do that against a Gilbert Burns.

518
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 5: Well, Balah Mohammed is he's that guy, And that is

519
00:24:58,080 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 5: just amazing to me, that route, all those hurdles and

520
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 5: all those hiccups and all the adversity that he has

521
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 5: dealt with, all the ups and downs, you know, because

522
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 5: he has had them throughout those wins. To see what

523
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 5: he has accomplished in the UFC and the manner in

524
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 5: which he has done it is remarkable. And he's one

525
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 5: of those guys, man, that I think you have to respect.

526
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 5: No matter whether he goes on to be a world

527
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 5: champion in this sport, He's going to be one of

528
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 5: those guys that I think if you're smart, if you

529
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 5: are a hardcore, and if you are paying attention to

530
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 5: this sport, he is one of those guys that will

531
00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 5: go down as one of the best wealth weights that

532
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 5: I've seen compete.

533
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,359
Speaker 1: Just phenomenal stuff.

534
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,919
Speaker 8: Ray Longo often says of Georgian may Rob Dwallash Willie,

535
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 8: his student, that he's already won. And I think by

536
00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 8: winning this fight for Balaal not unlike may Rob, he's

537
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,440
Speaker 8: already won, whether he wins the title or not. Right,

538
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 8: I don't think anybody wanted to give him anything. He

539
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,159
Speaker 8: was going to have to earn everything and look like

540
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 8: they wanted to do Amahamed against Shopcot Rockmanov And maybe

541
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 8: if he won that fight, he would have gotten the

542
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 8: Gilbert Burns fight, So he had no choice but to

543
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 8: take this fight. But it does make sense now, why

544
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 8: would Blau want this fight at one hundred and eighty

545
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 8: five pounds? Excuse me? That didn't make sense to any

546
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 8: of us, right, because he's so mentally forged. You know,

547
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 8: he can cut the weight. He made the weight with

548
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,159
Speaker 8: an injury. But then it started to make sense. Oh,

549
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 8: maybe he wanted to fight at eighty five because he

550
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 8: had a bad wheel. Now it doesn't seem as though

551
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 8: the Gilbert Burns injury was pre existing, perhaps a byproduct

552
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 8: of just biting off more than he can chew. He

553
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 8: fought in January, then fought in April a few weeks ago.

554
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 8: Third fight on pay per view in a span of

555
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 8: one hundred and six days, and blah Muhammed's a tough

556
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 8: guy to fight over five rounds to begin with, never

557
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 8: mind not having a training camp.

558
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know.

559
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:48,320
Speaker 5: I was just gonna say, imagine what he would have

560
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 5: done if he had a full training camp and he

561
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 5: was injury free. Again, I certainly would have gone his

562
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 5: way if he did have the full training camp. But

563
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 5: I think the real difference here, and probably the real

564
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 5: difference against probably everyone in that division, is the intelligence

565
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 5: of Blall. He knows how to approach it. I also

566
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 5: think that his team and coaches should get a lot

567
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 5: of credit here because man, they've turned him into an

568
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 5: absolute strategist of the highest quality. And again it's also

569
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 5: on the athlete and the fighter to go out and execute,

570
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 5: and he just knows how to do that. He knows

571
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 5: how to do that when the pressure is on, even

572
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 5: when the circumstances are suboptimal. And man, he had a

573
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 5: lot of knocks against him, a lot of things going

574
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 5: against him in this fight, and man did he pull

575
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 5: it off. Gilbert just wasn't able to adjust, and of

576
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 5: course he did have that bumped shoulder which obviously affected

577
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 5: his performance. But you know, he was throwing some right

578
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,400
Speaker 5: hands that did catch Ballall. Ballall has a tremendous chin.

579
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 5: But he just wasn't able to deal with those stance switches. Man,

580
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 5: every time you switch a stance, you know, it's one

581
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 5: thing because your mind, your brain has to calibrate. You

582
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 5: can't just go forward and go, I'm gonna throw this shot.

583
00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 5: You every single time someone switches their stance, you have

584
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 5: to also switch your capability of what you're going to throw,

585
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:17,520
Speaker 5: how you're going to throw it right, because you get

586
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 5: caught with a shot and that's on the opposite side.

587
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,359
Speaker 5: And not only was blaw switching stances, like every single exchange,

588
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 5: he'd switch dances, then he attacked, or he'd switched stanes

589
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 5: and he faced.

590
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 1: He was always doing something and Gilbert's mind just could

591
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 1: not handle it.

592
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,960
Speaker 5: He was not able to keep up with that speed

593
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 5: of thought and that speed of stance switches and Ballall

594
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 5: just kind of looked like he looked like the teacher

595
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 5: and Gilbert looked like the student. No offense to Gilbert,

596
00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,719
Speaker 5: but he just looked like he was being strung along.

597
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 5: And it was pretty to watch.

598
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 8: And part of the reason Gilbert Burns maybe flipped the

599
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 8: strategy and went for the takedown that resulted in the injury.

600
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 8: Was because Baalam Muhammed, who was getting a whole lot

601
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 8: done on the feet and quickly. I do want to

602
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,479
Speaker 8: say genetically, Muhammad has a lot of physical gifts that

603
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:04,720
Speaker 8: really help him. The mixed martial arts, that huge head

604
00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 8: that can take a shot, and also that bull legged

605
00:29:07,080 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 8: nature down low. I've never seen a fighter absorb that

606
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 8: many calfkicks in a fight and have that much redness

607
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:15,840
Speaker 8: on both their legs inside and out and be totally unfazed,

608
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 8: not even so much as a limp.

609
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: Dude. A few things. First of all, he looked big.

610
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: He looked massive in there.

611
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 5: I mean, Gilbert looked like a lightweight and he looked

612
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 5: like legit welterweight. I think the calfkicks that he was

613
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 5: taking his important notice.

614
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 1: It looked like it was not a big deal. And

615
00:29:31,080 --> 00:29:34,240
Speaker 1: then after the five rounds, dude, was he even breathing.

616
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: It looked like it was just it.

617
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 5: Looked like he just did a workout, Like it wasn't like,

618
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 5: oh my god, you know, hands on the quads, like

619
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 5: you know, I'm so thankful I got through that fight.

620
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: It looked like it was like he prepared for that.

621
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 5: He he looked fine, which is just insane given the circumstances.

622
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 5: So really fucking bad night for the Blau Muhammad haters right,

623
00:29:56,080 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 5: And the notion that there's no risk in fighting guil

624
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 5: Burns because he's rendered a one arm fighter after round one,

625
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 5: it's just absurd.

626
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 8: There's still risk mitigation that has to happen. You know,

627
00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 8: I hear this avalanche of criticism Oblah Muhammad wasn't able

628
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 8: to put him away, Like you got to put that

629
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 8: guy away easier said than done. You've got to prioritize

630
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 8: the win. I want to quickly read a tweet and

631
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 8: then we are going to get to the great ray Longo.

632
00:30:17,720 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 8: This one from MMA Fighting's Shaan Alshadi Balam Muhammad just

633
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 8: risked five years of momentum on short notice against a

634
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 8: true killer in a spot where his title hopes would

635
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 8: have been forever tanked with a loss. Whether you enjoyed

636
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 8: it or not, that man is a proper number one

637
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 8: contender and deserves his respect. And then this from Sean Shean.

638
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 8: Ray Longo might be the most underrated coach in the

639
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,800
Speaker 8: history of MMA. The amount he has achieved is crazy

640
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 8: huge respect.

641
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: Let's get to the Ray Longo minute.

642
00:30:52,080 --> 00:31:03,400
Speaker 2: Holes the Ray Long Minute, John Ennik and Kenny podcast.

643
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 4: My holy shit, come on.

644
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 8: So, uh, I think we need your jacket size for

645

00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 4: Really? You know, I was coming home. I got lost.

647
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 4: I was looking for directions of the Hall of Fame?

648
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?

649
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 8: As as I've come to crying on the Anakin Florian podcast.

650
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 8: I'm a little bit underslept, but I'm getting I'm getting

653
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 8: saw sal the bulldoze of Forrovola when I was leaving

654
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 8: the hotel today and and I said, hey, man, what's

655
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,120
Speaker 8: the difference. And he said, it's all fucking long ago,

656
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:41,920
Speaker 8: That's what he said.

657
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, let me tell you some first first. I don't

658
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 6: know if this will make you cry. Everybody loves you.

659
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 6: I love you, I love your brother. His energy is

660
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 6: off the chard, say, but thank god I got to

661
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:53,360
Speaker 6: run into him.

662
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

663
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:57,000
Speaker 6: You guys are twins for a reason. You cut from

664
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 6: a great cloth. And I don't just I'm in that

665
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 6: move today. Man, I'm just I just I don't know, man,

666
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 6: I just love people, I really, I just loved the

667
00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 6: whole process and seeing people. I saw some doctors from

668
00:32:09,880 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 6: Jersey avn't seen. Shout out to Robin German and Oxla

669
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 6: doctor Rox. It just the friendships you build up and

670
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 6: the acquaintances you build up are just phenomenal.

671
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 4: So I don't know.

672
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 6: It was just a good I haven't been to Jersey

673
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 6: in a while in that environment, and it was great

674
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 6: seeing a couple of people.

675
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 4: But uh, the Bulldozer loves you.

676
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 8: Boy, oh Man sal the Bulldozer for Vola. Just an

677
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 8: incredible win for mat. But let's start with Al Joe

678
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 8: if we could. And Kenny rewatched the fight this morning

679
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 8: and felt like there was an argument to be made

680
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 8: that Sterling won four rounds of a possible five. We

681
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 8: felt like he certainly did enough to win this fight,

682
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 8: and that seems to be the majority opinion. Sometimes I'll

683
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 8: admit to being surprised, Ray when I get off the

684
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 8: air and you know, I got a text from former

685
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,000
Speaker 8: Cy Young winner Padres Pitcher Blake Snell and he's like,

686
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 8: you really thought Al Joe one? And that sort of

687
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 8: surprised to hear from a lot of people who felt

688
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 8: like Suhudo won that fight. So what were your thoughts

689
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 8: on the fight, Aljo's performance and everything that went with it.

690
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 6: Look, I'm gonna first off, I was I might be,

691
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 6: I hope, I'm not slipper. I was very confident he

692
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 6: won that fight, like we weren't even There wasn't a

693
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 6: concern in the corner that he lost that fight. So

694
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 6: when I heard split decision, I'm like, you know, first off,

695
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,920
Speaker 6: is super close fight. Look, I really I'll get back

696
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,440
Speaker 6: to Henry in a minute, but I guess it was close.

697
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 6: I guess it was a close fight, but you had

698
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 6: to give those rounds Aljo? What the fuck did DIDs

699
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 6: a Hudo beat up al Jo?

700
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 8: Like?

701
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:41,960
Speaker 4: What did he do to win?

702
00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:44,959
Speaker 6: Or they think he did to win, like steal around

703
00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 6: with it, take down with twenty seconds to go and

704
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 6: do nothing. And I haven't watched the fight back, but

705
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,960
Speaker 6: I could tell you going through the fight, I three

706
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 6: two at the very uh you know, worst case scenario

707
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 6: I had I added for one to be honest, right, yeah,

708
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 6: you got out.

709
00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 4: I thought he controlled that whole fight. Al Joe.

710
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,920
Speaker 6: If anything, maybe al Joe the way his style is optically,

711
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 6: maybe screwed something up.

712
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 1: You know what it is?

713
00:34:14,239 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I really think that's what it is, because at

714
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 4: one point I said.

715
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 6: Al Joe, fuck the takedowns man, you're beating the shit

716
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:23,160
Speaker 6: out of this guy. Standing up to take that looked

717
00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 6: bad when he was on all fours. That's all I

718
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 6: could think about. Not that there was any damage, but

719
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,000
Speaker 6: optically that didn't look good. But he was never in

720
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:33,040
Speaker 6: danger and never I think he was probably taking a

721
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 6: breathere down there.

722
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 4: But I said, look, you did enough to take that.

723
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,680
Speaker 6: You want to start faking him to open up, to

724
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:42,720
Speaker 6: stand up, that's for perfect, but you're winning. I thought, Henry,

725
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 6: the layoff looked like he killed him, mate. I thought

726
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 6: he looked slow. He couldn't break that distance. He was

727
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:52,919
Speaker 6: getting desperate with big shots missing big uh. And again

728
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 6: it's not even a knock to him. I just I

729
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,640
Speaker 6: thought he was going to be way quicker, way, way

730
00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 6: way quicker.

731
00:34:58,560 --> 00:34:58,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

732
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 8: Ray.

733
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 5: I think the coord of yes, al Joel, of how

734
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 5: he gets out, he throw himself out of position, but

735
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 5: then he'll like dip out and it looks look dramatic,

736
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 5: but he's not getting hit with any of those shots.

737
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: That thing.

738
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:12,359
Speaker 5: When I'm actually looking at it. He's not getting hit

739
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 5: with any of those shots. But what you said in

740
00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,319
Speaker 5: the corner, right, I'm not here to just ah, you know,

741
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 5: because you're here on the show all every week. But

742
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:23,959
Speaker 5: everything that I was thinking during the fight, I think

743
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 5: you said during the corner like it was just it

744
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 5: was perfect, get up, stay on, stay off of all

745
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 5: fours if you're going to get a shot. Like you

746
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 5: and Matt were just on point throughout that fight. You

747
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 5: could see that you guys clearly did your homework and

748
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,040
Speaker 5: made the right adjustments. But I thought after three rounds,

749
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 5: I thought round two was close, but I thought you

750
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 5: guys were up three rounds and yes, heading into the

751
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 5: fourth and fifth, I go, Henry needs a finish to

752
00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 5: win this.

753
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: And it sounded like his corner do that as well.

754
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:54,040
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, out it out. I agree one hundred percent.

755
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:56,760
Speaker 6: And you don't look at one of the like again,

756
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 6: I saw like after the first round, I till doubts

757
00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 6: this guy wants to control the like he wants to

758
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 6: slow pace Al Joe.

759
00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 4: You can't let him. You can't let him do that.

760
00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 6: He wants this is I'll tell you, I'm gonna say

761
00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 6: a day before the fight, two days before the fight.

762
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 4: I saw something with Henry.

763
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 6: I think, I'm I understand because I look at mental stuff.

764
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,640
Speaker 6: I don't really physically it is what it is. The

765
00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 6: mental stuff is hard to put your hand on. But

766
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 6: I gotta tell you, I saw that interaction with Henry

767
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 6: and Kabib where he's showing him the kick and Kabib's

768
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:33,719
Speaker 6: like looking at him, like so what, and Henry he

769
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,919
Speaker 6: doesn't even address it. He goes on to something else,

770
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,760
Speaker 6: and Kabib's treating that guy like he was Joshua Fabia.

771
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 6: That's the way, that's what. And I go, al, Joe,

772
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,480
Speaker 6: this guy's used to get whatever the fuck he wants.

773
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,240
Speaker 6: He's surrounded by Yes, man, we ain't. This ain't happening.

774
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 6: It ain't happening. You're not You're not letting this guy

775
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 6: dictate one fucking thing.

776
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 4: In this fight. And I really think that's what you saw.

777
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:58,520
Speaker 6: I don't know, but I saw that video and I go,

778
00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:02,520
Speaker 6: I think now I got him. I zoned in on something,

779
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 6: and I go, I'm not letting it go because I

780
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 6: thought could Beep was dead on this guy. You know,

781
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 6: And I'm gonna tell you something I saw Henry. I

782
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:13,920
Speaker 6: like Henry. I like his cringey stuff. I think he's funny,

783
00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 6: I really do. I think he's great for the sport.

784
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 6: I like the way he retired early. I think that

785
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:20,160
Speaker 6: takes balls.

786
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 4: I love that.

787
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,279
Speaker 6: So, you know, as I'm telling I'm telling Henry, look,

788
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,200
Speaker 6: I really do like your big fan, even your cringey stuff.

789
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 4: You know, he says to me, he goes even the

790
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 4: broke back long ago stuff.

791
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:36,839
Speaker 1: What no, no, that real quick, go ahead.

792
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 6: But listen, somebody tweets tweets at me this thing, and

793
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,360
Speaker 6: I got out, I don't I never heard that. I

794
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 6: thought it was a joke. And then he's telling me that,

795
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 6: and I'm like, what the fuck does that even be?

796
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,319
Speaker 6: Like I can't lets shit like that bother you man,

797
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 6: I you know, like I don't know.

798
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:52,840
Speaker 1: This is so.

799
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 8: At the press conference on Thursday, Henry tried to bring

800
00:37:57,560 --> 00:38:00,160
Speaker 8: may Rob Dwallash Willy into the conversation, and Dave of

801
00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:04,360
Speaker 8: White has been reluctant to allow fighters who aren't competing

802
00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 8: or remember when Kevin Holland and Honey mosfital I'll try

803
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 8: to get into it at the UFC two Andy seven

804
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 8: press conference and Dana shut that down with immediac and

805
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 8: he did the same here, but Henry's trying to talk

806
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:16,640
Speaker 8: to may Rob and he says, you know, get your

807
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 8: you know your your buddy from uh it broke back long.

808
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:22,520
Speaker 1: I just I thought it was I.

809
00:38:22,520 --> 00:38:24,400
Speaker 4: Think it was very funny.

810
00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 6: He can't think I would be mad about that stuff,

811
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 6: is it?

812
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 4: But anyway, Kenny, thank you very much for the compliment.

813
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 6: And I agree with you know, I like again obviously

814
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,560
Speaker 6: I thought I was dead on with some of that stuff.

815
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 6: But a couple of things, you know, like Henry said

816
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 6: he was going to get him out in three not

817
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 6: even closed, and they said if he stands up, al

818
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 6: Jo stands up with him, he's getting knocked out, not

819
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 6: even closed. So I think what I was looking as

820
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:50,239
Speaker 6: a guy not getting what he wanted. Yeah, And I'm

821
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 6: going to tell you something, if he's not an Olympic

822
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 6: gold medalist, he would have broke I think Henry is

823
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 6: a fucking competitor. He hung in there, looked like he

824
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 6: was sucking for Aer a little bit. He wasn't going

825
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 6: to go many ways, a tough motherfucker, but when he

826
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 6: didn't get what he wanted, things started to go. And

827
00:39:05,080 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 6: I think even in the post fight interview, he wasn't

828
00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 6: like I won that fight, he said.

829
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:12,840
Speaker 4: My corners told me I went that it never happened.

830
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,319
Speaker 8: I ling got all the credit from Shuto after the fact,

831
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,880
Speaker 8: which I really appreciated.

832
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, John, Yeah, yeah, you know.

833
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:26,520
Speaker 8: But whutos not a submission thread at all? He has

834
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 8: zero each and wins as an NMA pro, so it's control.

835
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 8: But he's no threat even when he got on Aljoe's back,

836
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:35,560
Speaker 8: bre he's no threat.

837
00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 4: Minimal minimal control too.

838
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,360
Speaker 6: And I have to go back and look at it

839
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 6: because I'm in the heat of the you know, the

840
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 6: battle with those guys. But yeah, I could tell you

841
00:39:45,120 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 6: as a coach unless I'm really slipping, Like I didn't

842
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 6: think that was a split decision. I I I really

843
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:53,799
Speaker 6: was getting angry and then when I heard it, because

844
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 6: I was like, they're not going to fuck this.

845
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna make you even angrier now.

846
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:01,240
Speaker 8: So Matt Sarah said to Aljael after the first three rounds,

847
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,560
Speaker 8: we just need one more. And I agreed that you

848
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 8: guys were up to one, and then on the strength

849
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 8: of those final ninety seconds or showing round four, I

850
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,520
Speaker 8: thought al Jo was up three to one going into

851
00:40:10,520 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 8: the fifth. But I believe the clearest round of the

852
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 8: fight was round five for Sahudo. Is that fair or no?

853
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:19,279
Speaker 4: Are you look again, John?

854
00:40:19,560 --> 00:40:22,080
Speaker 6: I'm gonna say, off the top it's fair, but I'd

855
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 6: have to go back and look at it. I never

856
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,279
Speaker 6: I never felt like Henry got any momentum like al

857
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 6: Joe was in trouble, like the tide was shifting. I

858
00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 6: think it's al Joe maybe not doing as much as

859
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 6: he did making it like again, I think al Jo

860
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 6: made it look maybe worse than it was. Individuals. Yeah,

861
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,120
Speaker 6: I think sure. I think the optics and I think Kenny,

862
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:48,959
Speaker 6: you know, hit on it too. He's not your conventional

863
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,319
Speaker 6: stand up fighter. He's just not so if you're not

864
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,440
Speaker 6: used to looking at that, you can't see that he's

865
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 6: not getting hit. Although he's moving kind of oddly, it's

866
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 6: not It might not be good, I don't know, but

867
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 6: he's not even remotely touched. I don't believe you know,

868
00:41:04,320 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 6: his foot his foot hurts from kicking him. I think

869
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 6: the body ticks were killing him. Yeah, you know. I

870
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 6: mean the idea was to really just occupy that cental

871
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 6: line that sent Alane, not let him walk in. I

872
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 6: thought a couple of times Aljo let him get way

873
00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,200
Speaker 6: too close, but then he wanted to go to the elbows.

874
00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:22,080
Speaker 6: It almost looked like Al Joe was playing at a

875
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:25,719
Speaker 6: certain point, trying different things than that. He wasn't never

876
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 6: threatened at all.

877
00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:31,680
Speaker 5: Ray And in regards to that, it seems like Al

878
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 5: Joe really is coming out of that show.

879
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,520
Speaker 1: Because you know, for years you were already.

880
00:41:36,520 --> 00:41:38,920
Speaker 5: Be on the podcast you talked about I want to

881
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:42,040
Speaker 5: see the Aljo that we see in training. That's the

882
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 5: guy we want to see. And I feel like we're

883
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 5: finally seeing that.

884
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 1: Am I right?

885
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,360
Speaker 5: I mean because so many of the things that he does,

886
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,120
Speaker 5: it seems like it's in the moment like he's very good.

887
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: You know, again, he really is that funk master.

888
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 5: He's very awkward, but that's what makes him special is

889
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 5: that he's in that and he's bringing that out. We're

890
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:05,160
Speaker 5: seeing the confidence as he walks out to the cage,

891
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,399
Speaker 5: and I knew it was going to be a good

892
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 5: night for him, just the way the energy that he brings.

893
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 5: He doesn't bring that same nervous energy. It seems like

894
00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 5: he's he's genuinely enjoying competing. Yes, And I think maybe

895
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 5: coming back from that pure yond fight was the big

896
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,800
Speaker 5: shift but now we're actually seeing al Jo be Aljo

897
00:42:22,920 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 5: in the cage.

898
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,080
Speaker 1: Is that accurate?

899
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,440
Speaker 4: I think that's super accurate.

900
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,439
Speaker 6: And again a lot of times why I don't worry

901
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 6: about al Joe's because I never see him get like

902
00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:31,960
Speaker 6: beat up and sparring.

903
00:42:32,040 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 4: It just doesn't happen.

904
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 6: And you know, he just I know that you can't

905
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 6: get guys to emulate him either. It's a rare find.

906
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:45,200
Speaker 6: The guy's that different that how are you going to

907
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,719
Speaker 6: prepare for him? So I think Henry said it. You know,

908
00:42:47,800 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 6: he looked at it. He thought it was going to

909
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 6: be easy, and then it's not easy. And that's the

910
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 6: way I saw it in my head. He doesn't he

911
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:56,839
Speaker 6: has no clue. I don't know what he's doing aftertimes,

912
00:42:57,320 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 6: you know what I mean. But all of those things

913
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 6: he does try and but then he doesn't look He's

914
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:04,600
Speaker 6: the first guy to tell you he's a wrestler. He

915
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 6: makes he said in the press conference, you want to

916
00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,719
Speaker 6: see Banger his man for a vola and nas. There's

917
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:12,520
Speaker 6: guys in the gym, their pay per view events when

918
00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:16,319
Speaker 6: they sparl with each other. He he's not you know,

919
00:43:16,400 --> 00:43:18,920
Speaker 6: he's telling you that. You know he's telling you and

920
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 6: that's my biggest thing is if he wanted to be

921
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 6: he could be a fucking phenomenal striker.

922
00:43:24,760 --> 00:43:26,720
Speaker 4: That's kind of my and I don't want to push

923
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:27,840
Speaker 4: it with too far ahead.

924
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 6: So I think, like you said, you were starting to

925
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 6: see him Pulley, look at he was popping him with

926
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,799
Speaker 6: the jeb. He wasn't getting counted back. Guy like, I'll

927
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:36,560
Speaker 6: go out Joe your jib. But what is he looking for?

928
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 6: What does he just tell me? Just so he's got

929
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:41,880
Speaker 6: a very high fight IQ. I think he was a

930
00:43:41,880 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 6: step of Henry and that whole that whole fight. I

931
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 6: think his movement offset him, that kicks off set him.

932
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 6: Then he would do something crazy, then he could popped

933
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,920
Speaker 6: with a jeb. H. I think Henry got taken out

934
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:54,799
Speaker 6: of his rhythm and that was the difference from the fight.

935
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 4: To me.

936
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 8: Well, if SUDO did not respect Al Joe in totality

937
00:43:59,520 --> 00:44:02,400
Speaker 8: going in, he certainly does going out. He has huge

938
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:05,399
Speaker 8: respect for Al Jamaine's wrestling, and he said that more

939
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 8: than once after the fight. Am I allowed to ask

940
00:44:07,800 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 8: you if you make more money with a sterling win

941
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 8: as opposed to a loss? Or Am I not allowed

942
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:12,240
Speaker 8: to ask that question?

943
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 5: Uh?

944
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:15,000
Speaker 4: No, you could ask guy.

945
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 6: Honestly, I wouldn't even know, but I will say this,

946
00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 6: Al Joe, he really he takes care.

947
00:44:22,640 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 4: He's a fucking guy. I bet he's just a really

948
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,880
Speaker 4: good dude. He doesn't even have to to be honest.

949
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: So this is cause for concern for me.

950
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 8: So just because we have a close fight does not

951
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 8: mean that you can't also have a clear winner, right

952
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 8: those things are you talked about that before, Kenny and

953
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 8: I believe this was a close fight, equivocally that there

954
00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 8: was a clear winner and it was al Jamaine Sterling.

955
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: This should be cause for concern for you.

956
00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 8: Yeah, ninety eight percent of the scorecards that I have

957
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 8: seen had Henry Shudo in round five, Derek Cleary gave

958
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 8: rop five to your guy, al Jamaine Sterling. And this

959
00:44:58,040 --> 00:45:00,680
Speaker 8: is why some of those visuals as you guys spin

960
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 8: it forward, should be something that you focus on, because

961
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:06,720
Speaker 8: if Derek Cleary had scored the fifth round for Henry Suhudo,

962
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,000
Speaker 8: like ninety nine percent of the messes we'd be talking about.

963
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 8: Aljamain Serling on the wrong side of a split.

964
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:13,520
Speaker 4: Decision is totally crap.

965
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: Is scary, it is, But that's neither here nor there.

966
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:23,399
Speaker 1: He wasn't seeing things, Cleary. I do want to ask you.

967
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,440
Speaker 6: I have to go back and look at the fight though. Really,

968
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:27,560
Speaker 6: Like again, I was caught up in a moment. I

969
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:29,799
Speaker 6: could just tell you what I was feeling, that he

970
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 6: clearly won the fight. I thought the rounds were close.

971
00:45:32,239 --> 00:45:35,200
Speaker 6: I just couldn't even tell you what Henry did in

972
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 6: any round that really made him the winner. I really can't,

973
00:45:39,440 --> 00:45:42,720
Speaker 6: and I never he never connected really with good shots.

974
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:45,320
Speaker 4: If they would, they were form few in between.

975
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 6: Look, the significant strikes were I think fifty ahead for

976
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 6: al Jo, I mean forty of fifty ahead.

977
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:54,319
Speaker 4: Like, I don't know what else do you want takedowns

978
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:55,200
Speaker 4: with the al Jo.

979
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,040
Speaker 1: Well, Cody's saying.

980
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,479
Speaker 8: The theory on Twitter is that Cleary scored the fifth

981
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:02,600
Speaker 8: round for Jermaine Sterling to ensure that the proper winner

982
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 8: won the fight based on his previous four rounds.

983
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: I mean, that's not at all what you're supposed to

984
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: be doing.

985
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 8: But I have said repeatedly I like sort of scoring

986
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 8: a fight on totality and uh, either way, I think

987
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 8: the rightful winner won. Yeah, let us get to the

988
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,560
Speaker 8: night's biggest winner. May Rob Dwallace Willy though, right, I.

989
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 6: Tell you, John, I didn't even know what he did

990
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 6: until after we write it.

991
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,040
Speaker 4: The case way to god, anybody else does that. It's

992
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 4: not even funny that guy does. It's funing hysterical. He

993
00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:39,919
Speaker 4: is he's a trip man. He is, he really, he's

994
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 4: he's he's.

995
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 1: A smooth criminal.

996
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:46,319
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, then he was like a little kid. He

997
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:47,960
Speaker 4: was running away with the code.

998
00:46:48,320 --> 00:46:49,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

999
00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 8: And I will say too, and may Willy friend of

1000
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:54,879
Speaker 8: the show, maybe my favorite fighter on the roster now

1001
00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,319
Speaker 8: after he grabbed that jacket, but you know, security's trying

1002
00:46:57,320 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 8: to get him off the top of the octagon, and

1003
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,719
Speaker 8: as apple bull of guy as he is, he's not

1004
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 8: fucking getting down for security, right Data White came over,

1005
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,760
Speaker 8: he cut down, gave the jacket back. But may Rob

1006
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,799
Speaker 8: is he's got a little mean dude in there that

1007
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 8: he's not afraid to unleash like he's a competitive motherfucker.

1008
00:47:14,719 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 8: And the bomb between those two men is just unbel crazy.

1009
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 8: So I do want to ask you about something that

1010
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,040
Speaker 8: maybe is a little bit of a touchy subject. But

1011
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 8: al Jamain Sterling seemed to have the crowd all week.

1012
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,799
Speaker 8: I thought he masterfully handled everything, Yes, but then all

1013
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,120
Speaker 8: of a sudden, the fight starts and they're chanting for Henry.

1014
00:47:33,160 --> 00:47:36,520
Speaker 8: The decision gets announced, the crowd in the Tristate area

1015
00:47:36,560 --> 00:47:38,920
Speaker 8: boos the decision, and then when Suhudo gets a mic,

1016
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 8: they all start sharing. To what extent were you surprised

1017
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 8: that seemingly Sahudo had the crowd not far from uh

1018
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 8: from Al Joe's Long Island home.

1019
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 4: I'm very surprised.

1020
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:52,440
Speaker 6: But then again, Matt told me when he was the Champions,

1021
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:54,160
Speaker 6: showed up in Jersey and they booed him.

1022
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, so maybe maybe Jersey's a little weird. I don't know,

1023
00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 4: but I thought I thought I was. I don't know.

1024
00:48:01,719 --> 00:48:03,760
Speaker 4: That's unacceptable, unacceptable.

1025
00:48:04,239 --> 00:48:06,759
Speaker 8: I would quickly like to get a few thoughts from

1026
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:09,640
Speaker 8: you on Bala Muhammed versus Gilbert Burns before we get

1027
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 8: to Matt, the steamroller for Vola and your Hall of

1028
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:14,200
Speaker 8: Fame candidacy. Any thoughts on the co main event. Were

1029
00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 8: you able to even watch it backstage?

1030
00:48:16,239 --> 00:48:16,399
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1031
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I definitely watched it, and Bilal did a great

1032
00:48:18,760 --> 00:48:20,080
Speaker 6: job controlled that whole fight.

1033
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 4: I thought he did a great job.

1034
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 6: I saw him and I said, look, man, just for transparency,

1035
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,439
Speaker 6: I bet against She's like, come on, man, I go, well,

1036
00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 6: it might have been to Annoyanic.

1037
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:31,799
Speaker 4: I'm not really sure. I wasn't really talking about the fight, but.

1038
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,080
Speaker 6: You know, I don't even That's why I don't like

1039
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:37,359
Speaker 6: doing that, because I do, like everybody, I respect every

1040
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:39,759
Speaker 6: fight that gets in there. But uh, he just did it.

1041
00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 6: I thought it like, like I told it, a great job.

1042
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 6: I mean, controlled every aspect. Gilbert looked like he was

1043
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 6: lost in there. I mean, I don't know what to say.

1044
00:48:47,480 --> 00:48:49,800
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, you know, I think Kenny I was listening.

1045
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:50,239
Speaker 4: I think this.

1046
00:48:50,640 --> 00:48:53,560
Speaker 6: You know, the the uh stand switches.

1047
00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 4: You know, that's what they're supposed to do.

1048
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,360
Speaker 6: Uh, you know, but that's why sometimes I say, just

1049
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 6: the fuck with it. He switches, you switch with him,

1050
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 6: then he's in the same position you're you know, I mean,

1051
00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:06,480
Speaker 6: it evens it out. But if you stand there like

1052
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 6: a deer in headlights, then you're you're following. So a

1053
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,200
Speaker 6: lot of times he ice switch, you switch Ice. Let's go,

1054
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 6: let's play that game a little bit, because you know,

1055
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:16,439
Speaker 6: I could tell you from training a lot of people,

1056
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 6: there's always something that's off when they switch, and mostly defensively.

1057
00:49:21,560 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 6: They have their things they like to do offensively, but

1058
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 6: defensively is where the problem comes in and he did

1059
00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 6: a great job with that. He really didn't you know,

1060
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 6: if it was to confuse Gilbert, he accomplished it, man,

1061
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:38,799
Speaker 6: because Gilbert looked like he was just not present here.

1062
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,840
Speaker 6: So you know, you always got to look to the

1063
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 6: other guy. You know, you could say Gilbert had an

1064
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 6: off night, but he's at an off night because of

1065
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,360
Speaker 6: the way allow for Yeah, without a doubt, that's the

1066
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:48,759
Speaker 6: way go.

1067
00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,160
Speaker 4: So I'm happy for him. He earned it.

1068
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:56,719
Speaker 6: Whoever that showing a Shanti whatever I can't pronounce his name,

1069
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,839
Speaker 6: Sean Alshati, he had dead on the head with that, man,

1070
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:03,280
Speaker 6: I put it on the line.

1071
00:50:03,520 --> 00:50:04,320
Speaker 4: That's what you gotta do.

1072
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 6: When you're a guy like Gilbert and they're not really

1073
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 6: pulling for you, that's the way you fucking do it.

1074
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 4: That's what you do.

1075
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,160
Speaker 6: You go in there against a lawns and you succeed

1076
00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 6: makes you stronger.

1077
00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:17,240
Speaker 4: He earned them right now for that shot. Let's fucking

1078
00:50:17,320 --> 00:50:17,640
Speaker 4: do it.

1079
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 8: Yeah, he had no choice but to take the fight

1080
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 8: and uh, just an incredible result for Balao Muhammad. And

1081
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,920
Speaker 8: it's interesting to hear some of the noise from fans

1082
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 8: slash maybe haters who say, you know that was a

1083
00:50:30,800 --> 00:50:33,080
Speaker 8: shell at Gilbert Burns and Blo Mohammed couldn't have even

1084
00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 8: put him away right below, deserves some credit for causing

1085
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:38,160
Speaker 8: the injury. And Kenny correct me if I'm wrong, But

1086
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 8: the NBA playoffs are going on right now, Jimmy Butler

1087
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 8: and Joel Embiid are hurt.

1088
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:42,319
Speaker 4: Right.

1089
00:50:42,680 --> 00:50:47,200
Speaker 8: Isn't professional sports in some part about survival of the fittest? Right?

1090
00:50:47,239 --> 00:50:49,759
Speaker 8: I mean, injuries are a part of pro sports. One

1091
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 8: fighter went in injured, fought through it. The other fighter

1092
00:50:53,560 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 8: got injured during the fight and wasn't able to optimally

1093
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 8: fight through it. As such, blow Mohammed's the winner, like

1094
00:50:59,719 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 8: am onto anything, There no one hundred percent.

1095
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 5: They're both injured, first of all, so there aren't even

1096
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,960
Speaker 5: terms in that regard. Again, you could talk about, you know,

1097
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 5: how extreme each injury was.

1098
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:09,840
Speaker 1: We don't know that.

1099
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,879
Speaker 5: But still, you know, look at all the other things

1100
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:15,760
Speaker 5: had three weeks. Notice, you know it was Gilbert Burns

1101
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 5: that was coming off the fight camps, who was ready.

1102

00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,359
Speaker 5: they're they're gonna hate no matter what. So oh yeah,

1105
00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 5: Law deserves a tremendous amount of credit and birds is

1106
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,480
Speaker 5: going to be dangerous no matter what. And in terms

1107
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 5: of some of the venom out there, you know, I

1108
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 5: try to be very respectful and everybody deserves an opinion,

1109
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,800

1128
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 6: point of awkwardness.

1129
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: So, Kenny, I want to lead you on this, and Rady,

1130
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:48,560
Speaker 1: you have like ten more minutes or.

1131
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:52,000
Speaker 8: So, I got all right, maybe we can push Petrie

1132
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:55,719
Speaker 8: back a few minutes. So Colby Covington and Henry Sahudo

1133
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:01,520
Speaker 8: actively seek hatred and haters. They are looking for haters.

1134
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:04,920
Speaker 8: They are looking to add to their legion of haters.

1135
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 6: Do you know I think Covington for sure. I think

1136
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:11,080
Speaker 6: the other guy is just the goofy, nice guy. I

1137
00:53:11,120 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 6: don't know he's crazy. I don't think Henry. I think

1138
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 6: you he gives you a reason to one to dislike

1139
00:53:17,320 --> 00:53:21,439
Speaker 6: the other guy he wants he's hatred, He's just he's

1140
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,160
Speaker 6: pushing the limits with everything. I don't think he's just

1141
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 6: cringing goofy, but you know, kicking out pillows.

1142
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 4: I mean, you hate a guy today, I don't know.

1143
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 1: I guess hates the wrong word. But it wants people

1144
00:53:32,040 --> 00:53:32,800
Speaker 1: to have an opinion.

1145
00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 8: And there are a lot of people who really don't

1146
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 8: enjoy what comes out of Henry, so who does mouth.

1147
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:42,239
Speaker 8: But then you have guys like Blah Muhammad and al

1148
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 8: Jamaine Sterling that receive a lot of venom, and largely

1149
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 8: I think they've gone about things the right way. I

1150
00:53:48,320 --> 00:53:51,120
Speaker 8: just think for your guys, Sterling, the nature of his

1151
00:53:51,320 --> 00:53:53,600
Speaker 8: first win over Pyotr Jan and then the nature of

1152
00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,720
Speaker 8: that Dila Shaw fight, there have just been some crazy,

1153
00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:00,760
Speaker 8: crazy circumstances that just hurt him in the court public opinion.

1154
00:54:00,840 --> 00:54:03,080
Speaker 8: But that did saden me a little bit to hear

1155
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 8: some of those booths Saturday night. If I'm being honest, listen,

1156
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 8: it could hurt him in the court of public opinion.

1157
00:54:07,960 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 4: But I tell you, I know Al Joe.

1158
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 6: All he gives his shit about is this small circle

1159
00:54:12,320 --> 00:54:14,719
Speaker 6: that he's got, a very tight circle. You know, he

1160
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 6: said the press. Guy's able to buy his mom a

1161
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 6: car or a house. He loves his friends. He was

1162
00:54:19,440 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 6: happy that the original team Matt was back in the corner.

1163
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 6: I mean, these are the guys he started with. He

1164
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,480
Speaker 6: wants everybody to share in his success. He couldn't give

1165
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 6: a fuck what those people think. As weird as that

1166
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 6: maybe it sounds good, he doesn't give a shit. He

1167
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,719
Speaker 6: knows who his friends are. They got his back, he

1168
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:38,920
Speaker 6: knows who his family is. He's got everything going for him.

1169
00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 6: I in public opinion, I don't think even at enter

1170
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 6: the realm of that guy's brain.

1171
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1172
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:47,520

00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:02,880

Speaker 6: a dinner.

1194
00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,040
Speaker 4: I didn't think I was going to get the opportunity again.

1195
00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 6: It's not about me, but I mean, we had I

1204
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:08,680

Speaker 6: Yeah, relevant in my head. He just stuffed it in

1238
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,640
Speaker 6: his mouth, and I'll never forget this guy, Sergio. He

1239
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 6: was a he wrestled with He wrestled with h you

1240
00:57:55,760 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 6: know done. He threw it on the floor. So this

1241
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:01,160
Speaker 6: guy Sergio comes in, knew it. I saw he wrestled

1242
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 6: in the States with Jay Iron, very close with shape.

1243
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 6: He goes, I lost my mouth.

1244
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:07,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got. You don't want that?

1245
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 6: I got, you know it's on the floor over there.

1246
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,920
Speaker 6: But Sergio, you're a nice guy. You really don't want

1247
00:58:12,960 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 6: that mouthpiece throw right in the fucking cottage.

1248
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 8: So I got to asked, was Chris Wyden made to

1249
00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:21,760
Speaker 8: wear at any point that he was chewing the previously

1250
00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,000
Speaker 8: chet that was in your mouth?

1251
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 6: After he got down like two, I told him, I go,

1252
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:29,240
Speaker 6: what are you doing? Those are the pieces I chewed

1253
00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 6: on already?

1254
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 1: What was his he was?

1255
00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,360
Speaker 4: I say, he was acting like he was grossed out.

1256
00:58:37,600 --> 00:58:40,920
Speaker 4: My gut was he didn't give his ship. That guy

1257
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 4: don't care. You don't I got stories upon he don't

1258
00:58:45,240 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 4: give you ship.

1259
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 8: Right, He's like my head coach, Ray Longo has got

1260
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 8: the cleanest mouth and teeth in the business.

1261
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 4: We're good, but go get the revolt because there's a

1262
00:58:57,480 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 4: lot here.

1263
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:59,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I was just gonna say I got a

1264
00:58:59,320 --> 00:59:01,800
Speaker 8: chance to spend ten minutes after the fight with CJ.

1265
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: His son.

1266
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 8: Oh yeah, and I believe his father is a Charlie

1267
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,200
Speaker 8: Rodman hist Ye got to spend a few minutes with them.

1268
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 8: Chris was actually a little upset with me because I

1269
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:13,760
Speaker 8: was banging on New York Sports on the UFC two

1270
00:59:13,760 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 8: to eighty eight way in show. But I think we

1271
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 8: were able to nip that in the butt. And I'm

1272
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:18,960
Speaker 8: gonna see him this weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina. But

1273
00:59:19,120 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 8: Matt the steamroller for Vola is a totally different animal

1274
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 8: than he was three fights ago. He's in the top

1275
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 8: fifteen at one hundred and fifty five pounds. And I

1276
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:31,520
Speaker 8: know Sal and the entire Forvola family believe that you

1277
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,439
Speaker 8: deserve a lion's share of the credit. In our Fighter meeting,

1278
00:59:34,520 --> 00:59:37,280
Speaker 8: all for Vola was talking about was your Tuesday boxing

1279
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:39,440
Speaker 8: class and that you guys have spent the better part

1280
00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 8: of the better part of two years building awareness. He

1281
00:59:43,560 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 8: said awareness, yes, seven times in Our Fighter Yeah he.

1282
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 6: Said at seven because I said it about seven, right,

1283
00:59:50,840 --> 00:59:55,000
Speaker 6: That's why listen, I'm gonna say this kind of joking,

1284
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,560
Speaker 6: but you never hear me take credit for any fighter

1285
00:59:57,960 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 6: with him. I want all the fucking credit. This guy

1286
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:03,120
Speaker 6: every lost to McKinney. I had to get in his

1287
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 6: head and figure out what was going on. It almost

1288
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 6: short circuited me. I mean, he's still going to this day.

1289
01:00:10,760 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 6: I'm just it's like a war of Attrician I'm just

1290
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,880
Speaker 6: gonna beat the ship into his head and he's gonna

1291
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 6: like kind of resist a little bit, but then do it.

1292
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 6: But h I absolutely love the guy. He's a he's

1293
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 6: really fucking funny. Obviously, he's got a great family and

1294
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 6: uh let me let me say a couple of things

1295
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 6: about that too.

1296
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 4: We lined up really great sparring.

1297
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 6: He had Nazim Sadikuff, who's a who's a fucking killer

1298
01:00:34,680 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 6: at one fifty five South for uh Bazooka whose Orthodox

1299
01:00:41,240 --> 01:00:44,600
Speaker 6: sparred him South for Kenny and looked better as a

1300
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:46,960
Speaker 6: South for than I bet I like I go Bazooka.

1301
01:00:47,480 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 6: Now here's a guy that could definitely switch leads and

1302
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,000
Speaker 6: do it. He was outstanding as a South for I

1303
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 6: can't say enough. I was watched the boxing and the

1304
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 6: Spy Go because a lot of guys go. They want

1305
01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 6: to help you and they want to start south put it,

1306
01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:02,960
Speaker 6: they start getting it, and they switched back. They don't

1307
01:01:02,960 --> 01:01:05,600
Speaker 6: want to take Bazooka was he was on the money.

1308
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:08,120
Speaker 6: He was given, you know for Vola fits and you

1309
01:01:08,200 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 6: know for Vola. Finally made the adjustments, but he saw

1310
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 6: so many left hands coming at him. I think we

1311
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,120
Speaker 6: had that, you know, down.

1312
01:01:15,400 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 4: Really really well.

1313
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 6: And one other guy too is like, I can't really

1314
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 6: hold away he used to. So I want to give

1315
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 6: a shout out to Eric Hyer. He's been helping me

1316
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:25,440
Speaker 6: with the holding and he really deserves a lot of shine.

1317
01:01:25,480 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 6: He did a great job hold him for for a

1318
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,200
Speaker 6: vol or. He had the head movement perfect, he mimicked

1319
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 6: the style perfect. So between all the sparring and the

1320
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,080
Speaker 6: midwork and then the stuff I would do with him,

1321
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 6: I kept it. I keep it basic with him because I,

1322
01:01:38,720 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 6: you know, it was like what you guys, you know,

1323
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,240
Speaker 6: just sometimes on the broadcast when a guy doesn't have

1324
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,800
Speaker 6: the basics and like what happened to Ferguson and he

1325
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 6: has to rely on that and they're not there, I

1326
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 6: think it's a bad look. I think it's a very

1327
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 6: bad look. So, uh, we concentrated. We changed up a

1328
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:57,800
Speaker 6: lot of things more really mentally because after the McKinney fie, go, man,

1329
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:00,360
Speaker 6: this guy's just too good. I see him the gym,

1330
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 6: and you know, I can't get to everybody, but I

1331
01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:05,800
Speaker 6: did make it my job to stay on top of him,

1332
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 6: and you know, made a commitment to him that I

1333
01:02:08,400 --> 01:02:10,240
Speaker 6: wouldn't do this if I didn't think you could do it.

1334
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 6: Like you just got to trust me on this, And

1335
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 6: I will say this, he did. Listen, and I'll tell

1336
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:18,880
Speaker 6: you maybe three fucking first round knockouts. This one is

1337
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,400
Speaker 6: a surprise to me. It really is because Dob is

1338
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 6: a tough motherfucker. I really, I'm a huge Doba fan.

1339
01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 4: I like that kid. What a nice kid. I actually

1340
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,920
Speaker 4: I like Elliott Marshall. I don't know. There's just a

1341
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,800
Speaker 4: great bunch of guys and I kind of almost felt bad.

1342
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:36,960
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't know why, but you know, it's

1343
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:39,800
Speaker 4: you know, the fighting thing is just crazy. But what

1344
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 4: a what a nice guy. But I'm Fravola knocked it.

1345
01:02:43,520 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 4: Knock the cover off the ball.

1346
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 8: He knocked the cover off the ball. Without me, I

1347
01:02:47,440 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 8: could not have handled this week any better. Everybody knows,

1348
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 8: at least on this show, that he's a diehard New

1349
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 8: York Mets fan. He got the chance to throw out

1350
01:02:54,640 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 8: the ceremonial first pitch to his dad, Sal his twin

1351
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 8: brother James as the umpire. I mean, two, may your

1352
01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:02,600
Speaker 8: life dreams realized for Matt Frovola in the span of

1353
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 8: a week. I know he called out Patti Pimblet can flow.

1354
01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:07,120
Speaker 8: I don't think Patty's going to fight again this year.

1355
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 8: That accle injury is pretty severe. I think they may

1356
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 8: do Matt for Bola against Raphael Phazibe. I know Phazi's

1357
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 8: coming off a loss, but I think that might be

1358
01:03:15,600 --> 01:03:16,480
Speaker 8: your next fight. Ray.

1359
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,640
Speaker 4: That's take the Pimblet fight over that.

1360
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:22,280
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, what are we trying to do here though?

1361
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 4: Right?

1362
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:24,880
Speaker 1: Well, try to kind of win a world title or

1363
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: energy in the mess.

1364
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:28,160
Speaker 4: Without did that? Look that That's kind of what they

1365
01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:30,360
Speaker 4: said to him in the I thought he gave a

1366
01:03:30,440 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 4: good answer, though I did.

1367
01:03:32,640 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: No, I don't wind the call.

1368
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 6: Up, you know, because I go like this, you know,

1369
01:03:35,800 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 6: like we should be looking forward. You have waight pass

1370
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 6: Patty Pimblet at this point. But his response was, look, uh,

1371
01:03:43,840 --> 01:03:46,200
Speaker 6: Doba didn't have to give me the shot either, you

1372
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:48,080
Speaker 6: know what I mean. He was ranked way ahead of

1373
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:50,600
Speaker 6: me and he did give me the shot, So what's

1374
01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 6: the what's the difference? I don't I'm that guy. I'll

1375
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,439
Speaker 6: give a guy behind me the shot. Does It doesn't matter?

1376
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 6: So I thought he recovered from that. But originally I

1377
01:03:59,760 --> 01:04:02,480
Speaker 6: was like, we're going forward, We're not going backwards at

1378
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 6: this point. I think, to Patty Pemler, fight is a

1379
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 6: no brain, is a gimme at this point. But he's

1380
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 6: he's so stuck on Patty Pemler from a year ago

1381
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:15,200
Speaker 6: two he'say, can't get it out of his head.

1382
01:04:15,440 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 4: It's fun.

1383
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 8: But now that you got the number next to your name,

1384
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,440
Speaker 8: the possibilities are endless, right. I mean maybe you want

1385
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:24,560
Speaker 8: to avoid a guy like mattauge Gamrot, for example. But

1386
01:04:25,560 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 8: you know, but Neil Tarush and Charles Olaver are going

1387
01:04:28,080 --> 01:04:30,600
Speaker 8: to fight in five weeks and one of those guys

1388
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 8: is going to lose. I mean, it's not out of

1389
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:34,440
Speaker 8: the robe possibility that you guys are going to major fight,

1391
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:39,040
Speaker 6: John, let me tell you something. Have you seen the

1392
01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,360
Speaker 6: top ten in that division? Oh it's great, dude, it

1393
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,120
Speaker 6: is at Kenny Keller's Kelly.

1394
01:04:45,160 --> 01:04:46,560
Speaker 4: There ain't a weak link in there.

1395
01:04:46,880 --> 01:04:50,040
Speaker 5: You know, just fifty five is the best division. And

1396
01:04:50,160 --> 01:04:52,960
Speaker 5: I'm telling you I said something, but it really is

1397
01:04:53,560 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 5: and it always has been. Well right, people try to

1398
01:04:56,760 --> 01:04:58,720
Speaker 5: get cue with it. You're absolutely right.

1399
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,680
Speaker 8: It's like the bantamweight vision is on fire, and for

1400
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 8: me it's probably number two to lightweight. But the conversation

1401
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,200
Speaker 8: for me will always begin at one hundred and fifty

1402
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:07,960
Speaker 8: five pounds for sure.

1403
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1404
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and good luck just getting into the top twenty five.

01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 4: Coble, I'm not even joking. Man. I looked at the

01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 4: top then I go, holy shit, dang.

1408
01:05:17,840 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 8: Well, do you remember when we had zal for Vola

1409
01:05:20,040 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 8: on the show and we asked, h yeah, that career

1410
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 8: do you think you are? And he was like number

1411
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,320
Speaker 8: twenty seven. You know how hard it is to get

1412
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:29,360
Speaker 8: from twenty seven to fourteen. As he takes Dover's ranking,

1413
01:05:29,480 --> 01:05:33,200
Speaker 8: So congratulations to matter Vola. Yeah, one of the nicest

1414
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 8: guys in the game.

1415
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,920
Speaker 6: And the hats off to Dover for really taking that fight,

1416
01:05:37,040 --> 01:05:39,320
Speaker 6: so he one hundred percent didn't have to take it,

1417
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:43,680
Speaker 6: uh man, But holy shifted for Vola come through.

1418
01:05:43,800 --> 01:05:46,720
Speaker 4: Man, I thought he just looks like a different animal. Man.

1419
01:05:46,840 --> 01:05:48,920
Speaker 4: He just and he's got the power.

1420
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,960
Speaker 6: That's why I say, when you have power, you got

1421
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:53,760
Speaker 6: to be able to get it there though, right Kenny,

1422
01:05:53,880 --> 01:05:56,480
Speaker 6: that's the way without getting it's the he's he's like

1423
01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,360
Speaker 6: he the he's the example of to knock the guy out,

1424
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:00,960
Speaker 6: you got to put your self in the position to

1425
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:04,680
Speaker 6: get knocked out, right, and you know sometimes that goes

1426
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 6: either way, right.

1427
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 5: But I tell you what though, right he was he

1428
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 5: was landing the bigger shots throughout that fault. I don't

1429
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:15,600
Speaker 5: know if I would say dominant, but he's like winning handily.

1430
01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,880
Speaker 5: I would say that round. I mean he was, and

1431
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,480
Speaker 5: Dover is a good fighter, very experienced fighter. That's why

1432
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 5: you know I actually picked Dobra. I said, at Dover's.

1433
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:25,160
Speaker 4: Experience, I think it's gonna be without it.

1434
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 6: But he was.

1435
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: He was landing those shots repeatedly, and Dober just didn't

1436
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 1: have an answer. Man.

1437
01:06:30,880 --> 01:06:32,880
Speaker 6: He looked he did what he did, what he did

1438
01:06:33,080 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 6: exactly what he was doing in his baring, which made

1439
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 6: me happy. He was definitely he was definitely doing that

1440
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 6: with Doba throw like I I would even punch him

1441
01:06:41,200 --> 01:06:43,280
Speaker 6: in the head with my left hand and say, you

1442
01:06:43,400 --> 01:06:45,919
Speaker 6: get hit, you follow that hand back because he ain't

1443
01:06:45,920 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 6: gonna get him back to his head. And then Doba

1444
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 6: started going low with that cross. They ah, fuck, he's

1445
01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 6: setting them up for.

1446
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:52,480
Speaker 1: The heartest one.

1447
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,320
Speaker 4: Yes, I want to get him back to the corner.

1448
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,760
Speaker 6: But if you look at the knockout, he goes low

1449
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 6: and far Vola follows that back because it's harder when

1450
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:01,760
Speaker 6: he getting hit in the face to follow him back.

1451
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 6: But he followed that back and he couldn't get that

1452
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,120
Speaker 6: handback and that was the knockout right there. So it

1453
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:11,200
Speaker 6: is crazy. Uh yeah, just I don't know, it was

1454
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,960
Speaker 6: kind of picture perfect. I thought he was getting set

1455
01:07:14,040 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 6: up and you know that was was going to be

1456
01:07:16,200 --> 01:07:18,240
Speaker 6: my first adjustment in the corner. He's looking for the

1457
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 6: you know, the overhand left. That's why he's going low.

1458
01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 6: Please don't you know, buy into that. But he followed

1459
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 6: that low. He went low for Vola came back high

1460
01:07:27,880 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 6: stream side. You know beautiful.

1461
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: All right.

1462
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,280

1470
01:07:56,640 --> 01:07:59,440
Speaker 8: in the free world on Sunday morning here in New

1471
01:07:59,560 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 8: York City.

1472
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: His name is sal Vola.

1473
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 8: Yeah, you heard every word you had to say last week,

1474
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:08,320
Speaker 8: and uh, they really appreciate not just your selection on

1475
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,560
Speaker 8: Matt for Vola plus one, but all the nice things

1476
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 8: you had to say on it.

1477
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 3: I love I love matv Rowl. I loved him in

1478
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 3: that fight.

1479
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 9: I did not expected to go like that. I thought

1480
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:19,439
Speaker 9: he was pacing the wrestling and mixing everything up. But

1481
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:22,160
Speaker 9: I mean he looked phenomenal. I mean, Drew dober Is

1482
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:23,760
Speaker 9: coming up empty on a lot of those shots and

1483
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 9: then that power that I mean right on the chin

1484
01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:28,479
Speaker 9: and put him out. Some people complained about the stoppage

1485
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 9: just because Dover was you know, Dover's Dover. But I

1486
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:35,000
Speaker 9: thought the stoppage was fine for Vola looked amazing. Couldn't

1487
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 9: be happier. Plus one eighty in the pocket steam ROLLA

1488
01:08:39,200 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 9: thank you Ray long ago.

1489
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: I love it.

1490
01:08:43,240 --> 01:08:46,280
Speaker 8: Had almost fifty pro fights, and I think Matt Ravola

1491
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:47,960
Speaker 8: maybe the first guy to knock him out. If I'm

1492
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 8: not mistaken, but it submitted a few times.

1493
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 1: I could be wrong, might be right, you might be right. Yeah,

1494
01:08:52,760 --> 01:08:54,559
Speaker 1: So the last thing I have go ahead.

1495
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,439
Speaker 6: No, I thought he was going to submit him in

1496
01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 6: the fight because he was going to wanted to really

1497
01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 6: establish the wrestling early and then proceed forward. But god,

1498
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 6: that just I mean, because I know a Dobe's got

1499
01:09:07,479 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 6: a granite chin and he hits like a rule.

1500
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,600
Speaker 4: So I was that was crazy, really really crazy.

Speaker 6: little you know, crazy, But I don't. I don't really

1554
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:45,560
Speaker 6: even feel like i'm under whatever the word is. I

1555
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:47,720

1559
01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 4: all the comments. I really do. I mean I'm great

1560
01:11:57,880 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 4: for everything, a lot.

1561
01:11:59,479 --> 01:12:02,599
Speaker 8: I have two more questions, Oh, keep going. The first

1562
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 8: question is cold brew at six pm? What are we

1563
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:08,479
Speaker 8: doing here trying to stay all night?

1564
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 4: I'm well, do I got back to the hotel. What

1565
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:12,720
Speaker 4: time did you get back to the hotel? Oh?

1566
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 8: I don't even want to tell you, man, I slept

1567
01:12:14,360 --> 01:12:17,080
Speaker 8: ninety minutes and then just did five hours of voiceover work.

1568
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 1: I'm on complete fucking fumes right now.

1569
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,400
Speaker 4: I mean I got back to the hotel at three.

1570
01:12:21,439 --> 01:12:24,840
Speaker 4: I couldn't get to bed till five. And then Sarah was, uh,

1571
01:12:25,200 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 4: you know, he wanted a long one nine.

1572
01:12:27,680 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 6: I gotta see you know it. It was great seeing everybody,

1573
01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 6: but like, right about ten minutes before you was dropping off.

1574
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 6: I was like, you know what this is about? Enough?

1575
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:35,720
Speaker 4: Though, this is good.

1576
01:12:35,760 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 6: I'm good. We don't even have to talk for another

1577
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,519
Speaker 6: two weeks. Kenny, how did you deal with him in London? Seriously?

1578
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:42,520
Speaker 4: I had to handle.

1579
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 1: Barently apparently we were doing good.

1580
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,400
Speaker 4: And then I'm like, I gotta get the fuck Addie.

1581
01:12:48,439 --> 01:12:51,599
Speaker 4: I can't think you know I'm too old for this ship?

1582
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:52,519
Speaker 4: All right?

1583
01:12:52,600 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 1: Quick? Two questions on the way out.

1584
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:58,000
Speaker 8: Number one, to what extent do your daughters give a

1585
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,760
Speaker 8: shit after a big weekend like that for their father.

1586
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 6: At this point, they're super into it and they're very happy.

1587
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,040
Speaker 6: So they get takes, they get texas from their friends.

1588
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 6: What's going on, and you know, yeah, that's great, that's cool.

1589
01:13:12,280 --> 01:13:15,800
Speaker 6: You know, they're super happy. I mean, for a long time,

1590
01:13:15,840 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 6: I don't even know if they knew what I did,

1591
01:13:17,240 --> 01:13:19,679
Speaker 6: to be honest with you, But now and it's only

1592
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:20,759
Speaker 6: because of their friends.

1593
01:13:20,840 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 4: Like, wait, that's your dad. Are you fucking kidding me?

1594
01:13:23,800 --> 01:13:26,400
Speaker 4: Like you know, like, what are you talking about? No

1595
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 4: clue there. They're great kids, they got great jobs. They're

1596
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:34,120
Speaker 4: just super easy and good stuff.

1597
01:13:34,200 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 8: Yeah, as they get older they appreciate it more so

1598
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:40,080
Speaker 8: maybe Andy and I and Brian Petrie have something to

1599
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:43,519
Speaker 8: look forward to. You imagine bringing a boyfriend home and

1600
01:13:43,600 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 8: this is my dad Ray long ago. All right, And

1601
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:50,640
Speaker 8: my final question is yes, it appears as though they

1602
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,160
Speaker 8: would like Aljamain Sterling to defend this title against Sehan

1603
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:57,120
Speaker 8: oll Maalley August nineteenth at UFC two ninety two in Boston.

1604
01:13:57,200 --> 01:14:00,880
Speaker 8: Now Aljoe has expressed interest in maybe September in Las Vegas.

1605
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 8: Kenny feels like you can still take three weeks to

1606
01:14:03,920 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 8: enjoy some rest and relaxation and then get back into

1607
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,360
Speaker 8: training camp. But August nineteenth is only about thirteen weeks away.

1608
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:13,960
Speaker 8: Do you believe that is too soon or do you

1609
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:15,200
Speaker 8: think that could actually happen?

1610
01:14:16,040 --> 01:14:16,240
Speaker 4: Oh?

1611
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 6: Man, I'd have to talk to him. I don't think

1612
01:14:18,080 --> 01:14:22,200
Speaker 6: he's injured. And I'm going to say, look, al Joe's

1613
01:14:22,240 --> 01:14:24,960
Speaker 6: his own guy. He'll make that decision. But I agree

1614
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,240
Speaker 6: with Kenny if he wanted to do it. But look,

1615
01:14:28,560 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1616
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:30,000
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1617
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 6: It seems like I'll agree with Kenny. It seems like

1618
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 6: enough time. Take the end of May off, go crazy,

1619
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 6: maybe the first week at June or whatever, and then

1620
01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:40,760
Speaker 6: get back on the wig. And if that's what you want.

1621
01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 6: He said it in the press conference he wants to

1622
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:45,800
Speaker 6: fight off and he doesn't get paid if he doesn't fight.

1623
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:50,240
Speaker 4: So I'm going to say, based on that statement, he'll jump.

1624
01:14:51,040 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 4: That's a possibility.

1625
01:14:53,400 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 8: I Ray Long comtut it every week here on the

1626
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 8: Anakin Flooring Podcast. Congratulations man, well, thank you much for everything.

1627
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 4: Guys.

1628
01:15:00,479 --> 01:15:01,280
Speaker 3: Very bad man.

1629
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:02,639
Speaker 4: I'll see either in the week.

1630
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:05,519
Speaker 1: Just incredible, just late.

1631
01:15:05,560 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 4: I want to tell a couple of things off.

1632
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,880
Speaker 1: I'll be in my hotel room all night. Brother, yell

1633
01:15:10,920 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: out of it.

1634
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,280
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, all funny stuff.

1635
01:15:14,560 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 8: Take a help, Ray long We met it every week

1636
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 8: here on the Antik and Florian podcast, and we tried

1637
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:24,240
Speaker 8: to be a humble show. Oftentimes we refer to ourselves

1638
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:28,000
Speaker 8: as the little engine that could. But if I could

1639
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:31,519
Speaker 8: lack humility for a second and just say, in twenty fifteen,

1640
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 8: we settled on Ray Longo as the coach on this show,

1641
01:15:34,479 --> 01:15:37,240
Speaker 8: and then in twenty twenty one we decided to give

1642
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 8: Bala Muhammad a show and U kent full. I think

1643
01:15:40,240 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 8: we made some pretty good decisions and we're happy that was.

1644
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,599
Speaker 8: I could maybe take ten percent of effect it. But John,

1645
01:15:48,640 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 8: I think you're going to be a producer one day. Dude,

1646
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:52,599
Speaker 8: Like you know how to identify talent.

1647
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 1: Seriously, dude, so.

1648
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 8: Really really happy for the entire Anakin Florian podcast team

1649
01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 8: and channel. For a big weekend Brian Patrius with us

1650
01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:06,320
Speaker 8: big gun, my man, how to go for you this weekend? Kid, boys,

1651
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:09,240
Speaker 8: your boy had a weekend. Your boy maybe the best

1652
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 8: of the year so far. Your boy's been cold, your

1653
01:16:12,280 --> 01:16:13,040
Speaker 8: boy's been really cold.

1654
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 9: But I I went ten and two on my picks overall,

1655
01:16:17,120 --> 01:16:20,439
Speaker 9: and then it hit some really big spots and got

1656
01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:21,080
Speaker 9: some dogs.

1657
01:16:21,120 --> 01:16:22,599
Speaker 3: Obviously, I rode with all.

1658
01:16:22,720 --> 01:16:25,240
Speaker 9: I did a parlay for the Anti Canflornia Parlay, not

1659
01:16:25,439 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 9: our parlay, but my own parlay blau Al Joe Steamroller

1660
01:16:28,560 --> 01:16:30,720
Speaker 9: because they're close to the close to the family here.

1661
01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,360
Speaker 9: That obviously hit that was big, unbelievable. Yeah, I mean

1662
01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:37,880
Speaker 9: just I'm excited. I I get I got shirped in

1663
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 9: the comments because you know your boys went ice right

1664
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 9: my five you know, plas haven't played out right. And

1665
01:16:42,720 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 9: I got hammered about my chrone. Jordaane pick right. And

1666
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,360
Speaker 9: sometimes when I look at a sheep with no lines,

1667
01:16:49,400 --> 01:16:51,640
Speaker 9: with no breakdown, something just thunder strikes me.

1668
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:52,800
Speaker 3: And that fight did.

1669
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 9: I said, man, Jordaane, I just think it is going

1670
01:16:54,840 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 9: to be too much on the feet, you know, and

1671
01:16:56,720 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 9: chron doesn't have takedowns, so I obviously went have you

1672
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:01,880
Speaker 9: on that? And I just got hammered. So I did

1673
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:04,400
Speaker 9: have to go back and do a little victory lap.

1674
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 9: You know, you can hammer me when I lose, but

1675
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:08,679
Speaker 9: I'm gonna dance a little bit. I'm gonna a little

1676
01:17:08,720 --> 01:17:12,880
Speaker 9: bit when I win. Yeah, that's like the duh pic

1677
01:17:13,120 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 9: of Yeah, week man. I mean you crushed that one.

1678
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:17,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone everyone out.

1679
01:17:17,120 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 9: When you pick Krone and you've been hot and you're

1680
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 9: you're Kenny Floran, So you know, people listen. A lot

1681
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 9: of people, other people that I listened to were picking Krone.

1682
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:26,439
Speaker 9: I'm like, what am I missing? So now I'm second

1683
01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,640
Speaker 9: guessing myself, But you know, we roll with it and

1684
01:17:29,400 --> 01:17:29,759
Speaker 9: go ahead.

1685
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,839
Speaker 5: I think Jordaane has a tendency of getting reckless sometimes

1686
01:17:33,920 --> 01:17:35,559
Speaker 5: it almost becomes too entertaining.

1687
01:17:35,640 --> 01:17:39,240
Speaker 1: Gets what that was the most disciplined I had seen him.

1688
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:41,519
Speaker 5: That's the Jordaane that I think I've been kind of

1689
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 5: waiting to see to be like, Okay, this kid actually

1690
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 5: wants to be like a top five guy. He wants

1691
01:17:46,640 --> 01:17:48,479
Speaker 5: to be a champion and a sport as opposed to

1692
01:17:48,800 --> 01:17:50,920
Speaker 5: I want to be entertaining and have fun fights.

1693
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:54,680
Speaker 1: Like he took that one seriously. He respected Krone and

1694
01:17:55,520 --> 01:17:56,520
Speaker 1: just dominated.

1695
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 3: I mean crazy, that was not.

1696
01:17:58,400 --> 01:18:00,240
Speaker 1: A good fight for Crone at all.

1697
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 3: Like and Jordaane, you know.

1698
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 9: A lot of times people forget you guys brought up

1699
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 9: on the broadcast, but he takes a lot of fights

1700
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:07,519
Speaker 9: on short notice and he's only like twenty seven. He's

1701
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:10,479
Speaker 9: a young kid that's going to get better. Striking is great.

1702
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:12,280
Speaker 9: Take down a fence is something that needs to be

1703
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:14,479
Speaker 9: worked on. But I really wasn't worried. And then Crohn's

1704
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:17,360
Speaker 9: out there pulling guard and butt Scoopman, is, you know,

1705
01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:19,240
Speaker 9: walking forward to getting punched.

1706
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 3: I don't know what that was. Weird, but we'll take

1707
01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:22,960
Speaker 3: the dub. I'll take it.

1708
01:18:23,520 --> 01:18:25,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, five unit hit for you on Charles Jordan and

1709
01:18:25,880 --> 01:18:28,599
Speaker 8: you really didn't have to sweat it at all over

1710
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 8: those fifteen minutes. And I just have to tell you, guys,

1711
01:18:30,960 --> 01:18:33,439
Speaker 8: and perhaps I could have called Kenny Florian to impart

1712
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 8: this information. I've never in twelve years of doing this

1713
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,479
Speaker 8: job had a have a fighter philosophically make these type

1714
01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 8: of changes like Jordaane approaching his career in a certain way,

1715
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:49,320
Speaker 8: prioritizing last year fighting in Paris over like trying to

1716
01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 8: make a run.

1717
01:18:50,320 --> 01:18:52,280
Speaker 1: He's no longer doing the short notice thing. It's all

1718
01:18:52,280 --> 01:18:55,719
Speaker 1: about strategy over entertainment. He has completely flipped the switch

1719
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 1: on his career and I think he's a guy who

1720
01:18:57,880 --> 01:19:00,960
Speaker 1: could potentially get to the top fifteen. And so congratulations

1721
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: to Charles Jordain. And I just have to say Ken

1722
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,840
Speaker 1: Flow really likes something about what you were seeing from

1723
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: Yan Channon during fight week or what was it, Kenny,

1724
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 1: because you abstained on the show for Yan Channon and

1725
01:19:12,479 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: Jessica Andrage and then you send out a text message

1726
01:19:15,160 --> 01:19:17,000
Speaker 1: to the group that you wanted to fire on Yan

1727
01:19:17,080 --> 01:19:19,360
Speaker 1: chunon plus one sixty. So what led to you make

1728
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:20,599
Speaker 1: in that pick late in the week.

1729
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 5: It was just a I don't know, it was a

1730
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,320
Speaker 5: level of focus that I don't think I've seen out

1731
01:19:25,360 --> 01:19:28,760
Speaker 5: of her. And then just watching stuff on fight week,

1732
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:31,360
Speaker 5: she just looked like she was sharp.

1733
01:19:31,520 --> 01:19:31,680
Speaker 4: Man.

1734
01:19:31,760 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 5: And again, like you know, I don't like seeing a

1735
01:19:34,120 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 5: whole lot of pad practices, you know, but I'm seeing

1736
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 5: her hot pads. I'm seeing the folk and Dude, she

1737
01:19:40,640 --> 01:19:43,840
Speaker 5: looked like an absolute killer. And I've just been seeing

1738
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,040
Speaker 5: a little bit of a decline on onroge And when

1739
01:19:46,080 --> 01:19:48,160
Speaker 5: I saw that, I said, I got a hit on

1740
01:19:48,240 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 5: this one. I'm gonna I'm gonna need this one, and

1741
01:19:50,479 --> 01:19:51,320
Speaker 5: uh man.

1742
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,800
Speaker 3: Did I Yeah, Big brain moves, Big brain moves.

1743
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:58,600
Speaker 8: We also congratulate Viena, jan g Doba, Kennedy and Zechiku

1744
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:03,760
Speaker 8: mov so Ivloyev. How about Diego Lopez defeat though, right,

1745
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,480
Speaker 8: WHOA what a beast.

1746
01:20:06,960 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: To see his hair follow the follow up boy hair, Yeah, definitely, yeah.

1747
01:20:15,360 --> 01:20:18,120
Speaker 8: He was really inspired being in the corner of Alexa

1748
01:20:18,200 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 8: Grosso when she won the Flyway Championship, rested the belts

1749
01:20:21,160 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 8: away from Valentina Chevchenko, and then to get the news

1750
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:26,960
Speaker 8: that he was making his UFC debut around the time

1751
01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 8: that he got the news that a Reine Aldonna was

1752
01:20:29,160 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 8: stepping into the title fight. Just a huge, huge week

1753
01:20:33,320 --> 01:20:36,599
Speaker 8: for those Francisco Grosso trained athletes. And I think Diego

1754
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,320
Speaker 8: Lopez took him while to get to the UFC, but

1755
01:20:38,360 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 8: I think he's going to be heard from in the future.

1756
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:44,360
Speaker 8: All Right, as we spin it forward to Charlotte, North

1757
01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:46,360
Speaker 8: Carolina this weekend, Ken Flow and I are going to

1758
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:48,720
Speaker 8: have a big fucking hug, maybe even a French kiss

1759
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:50,639
Speaker 8: when I see this kid on Thursday dinner.

1760
01:20:50,720 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: But very excited to see you brother.

1761
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:55,240
Speaker 8: Quickly we update the standings before we get the UFC

1762
01:20:55,400 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 8: fight night Roses Strike versus Almeta. Don't forget, by the way,

1763
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,799
Speaker 8: three pm for the main card on ABC this Saturday.

1764
01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,320
Speaker 8: But Petrick goes four and two on the week, including

1765
01:21:04,360 --> 01:21:07,840
Speaker 8: the five unit hit plus five hundred and sixty five

1766
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:10,640
Speaker 8: dollars on the weekend Flow three and four minus two

1767
01:21:10,760 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 8: hundred and five dollars, still though a big lead for

1768
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 8: Ken Flow about twenty seven one hundred dollars. All Right,

1769
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:20,479
Speaker 8: we will begin, folks, with the featured prelim, a fight

1770
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:24,959
Speaker 8: between two veterans with a combined forty nine UFC appearances

1771
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 8: coming in Court McGee minus one eighty Matt Brown plus

1772
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:30,960
Speaker 8: one fifty five Patrick will start with you. Brown, one

1773
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 8: of the more decorated knockout artists in UFC history, making

1774
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 8: his thirtieth UFC start here. He's gonna be forty three

1775
01:21:36,240 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 8: in January. Perhaps that is part of the reason why

1776
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:42,920
Speaker 8: he's a big underdog here. He certainly was competitive last

1777
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:44,559
Speaker 8: time out, though you were there over a year ago

1778
01:21:44,880 --> 01:21:47,840
Speaker 8: Columbus Ohio split lost to Brian Barberina. How do you

1779
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:51,799
Speaker 8: see him faring in the role of underdog against Court McGee.

1780
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,120
Speaker 3: Just a couple grizzly vets with some body hair to

1781
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 3: to match.

1782
01:21:56,680 --> 01:22:00,479
Speaker 9: You gotta love. I'm the classic fight here. Matthew Brown,

1783
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:02,800
Speaker 9: Ohio's finest. He's as tough as they come. I mean

1784
01:22:02,800 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 9: he always has been. I mean, the guys the guy's nails,

1785
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:06,880
Speaker 9: but you know, I think forty two is gonna be

1786
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:08,960
Speaker 9: forty three. Is slowing down the Barberina fight. I think

1787
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:12,120
Speaker 9: he won the fight, I do, but he also really

1788
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 9: slowed down that fight as well. He started really hunting

1789
01:22:14,840 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 9: for takedowns to try to get on Barbarina. It was

1790
01:22:16,560 --> 01:22:18,800
Speaker 9: kind of an awkward performance. I thought he did better

1791
01:22:18,840 --> 01:22:20,479
Speaker 9: if he just stayed on the feet. And Court McGee

1792
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,160
Speaker 9: always been a grinder. Coming off a knockout over Jeremia Wells,

1793
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:25,639
Speaker 9: very rarely does Court mag get get knocked out. Jeremi

1794
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 9: Wells is a young stud here, but he's been a grinder.

1795
01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:30,640
Speaker 9: Stand up's not perfect, but what he lacks he just

1796
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 9: he moves forwarding and he's either gonna put pressure on

1797
01:22:33,160 --> 01:22:35,360
Speaker 9: you with punches or grappling. I like to see him

1798
01:22:35,400 --> 01:22:37,840
Speaker 9: get back to grappling because Matt Brown tends to give

1799
01:22:37,920 --> 01:22:39,880
Speaker 9: up takedowns. He's hard to get down in the first round.

1800
01:22:40,160 --> 01:22:42,320
Speaker 9: But if you keep chain wrestling him, keep going, maybe

1801
01:22:43,200 --> 01:22:45,200
Speaker 9: second and third round, he's gonna give us some takedowns

1802
01:22:45,240 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 9: and fade. Especially being forty two here, I like Court

1803
01:22:47,880 --> 01:22:49,640
Speaker 9: McGee winning the decision. I think the first round is

1804
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:51,639
Speaker 9: gonna be a little shaky because you know Matt Brown

1805
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:53,680
Speaker 9: can crack, but after that, I see Court winning the

1806
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 9: decision for sure.

1807
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:55,759
Speaker 1: Ken Plow.

1808
01:22:55,840 --> 01:22:57,519
Speaker 8: A couple of guys from your era and a lot

1809
01:22:57,560 --> 01:22:58,960
Speaker 8: of respects Court McKee, Matt Brown.

1810
01:22:58,960 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 1: Who do you like?

1811
01:22:59,800 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1812
01:23:00,040 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 5: I got a soft spot in my heart for these guys.

1813
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,720
Speaker 5: For that reason we called Court McGee's tough finale when

1814
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:09,000
Speaker 5: he won as well, John, I believe, and Matt Brown's

1815
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 5: been around forever, man, and for me, I will put

1816
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:15,679
Speaker 5: him right up there with Anderson Silva when it comes

1817
01:23:15,760 --> 01:23:20,400
Speaker 5: to strikes in the clinch comboing off of these and elbows.

1818
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:21,639
Speaker 1: Study that, dude.

1819
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 5: If you want to see how to put together elbow

1820
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:27,320
Speaker 5: knee combination, study Matt Brown, study Anderson Silva, two of

1821
01:23:27,360 --> 01:23:30,519
Speaker 5: the best in the game in that particular position. But

1822
01:23:30,880 --> 01:23:34,599
Speaker 5: I think Brian's right, man. I think Court McGee may

1823
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,680
Speaker 5: not have as many miles. I think he's got a

1824
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 5: couple more ways to win. Matt Brown is going to

1825
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:42,320
Speaker 5: be extremely dangerous again in that clinch and early in

1826
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:44,840
Speaker 5: the fight, but I think if Court McGee can weather

1827
01:23:45,040 --> 01:23:49,360
Speaker 5: that storm and integrate grappling and some long range strikes,

1828
01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:52,920
Speaker 5: I think he can win this fight by decision. Also

1829
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 5: with welch Waight main cat opener Alex Morono and Tim

1830
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,679
Speaker 5: Means Morono minus two to fifteen the favorite. Tim Means

1831
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,280
Speaker 5: Business the underdog at play US one eight twenty seventh

1832
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 5: UFC Star for Timmy means last went all the way

1833
01:24:04,000 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 5: back in June of twenty twenty one against Nicholas Dolby.

1834
01:24:06,720 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 5: Went to a split against Max Griffin his last time out.

1835
01:24:09,640 --> 01:24:12,160
Speaker 5: On the other side, the Great White Briye. Alex Morono

1836
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 5: had won four in a row, got stopped by Santiago

1837
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,519
Speaker 5: Ponzinibio last December. That halted the wind streak. But Morono

1838
01:24:19,720 --> 01:24:22,880
Speaker 5: favored here, perhaps prohibitively so against Timmy means who do

1839
01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 5: you like?

1840
01:24:23,880 --> 01:24:25,920
Speaker 9: Yeah, this fight reminds me of my literal league days.

1841
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 9: Just I whiff on both these guys all the time.

1842
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:32,320
Speaker 9: Morono doesn't ever get proper respect from me.

1843
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:33,080
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.

1844
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:35,759
Speaker 9: I'd never give him proper respect. And Tim Means always

1845
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:37,640
