But if I don't come, you know, 82 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 1: to the field an act like I'm trying to, like 83 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 1: I'm ready to, we can't have morning combat.

Okay, I'm bringing it the 89 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: best I can. I'm unleashing this bde today because if 90 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,840 Speaker 1: I don't do that, I'm not getting the best out 91 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: of lu Thomas. I'm not making a little dangerous for him, 92 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 1: you know. And I like danger at least not in 93 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: my personal life. Pretty boring my personal life, But in 94 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,280 Speaker 1: front of the camera, I like pleasure spiked with pain. 95 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: And MK is my aeroplane. So be seated. The captain 96 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: is here. We already knew that coming in, right. I 97 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,720 Speaker 1: know some of you a little nervous that, uh, you know, hey, 98 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,720 Speaker 1: he's a fun captain. But if he's running the show alone, 99 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: then may he may run us into the ground. He 100 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: may run us away from this show with art so experimental, 101 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: so abrasive that they're not ready for it, right, but uh, 102 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: like one Sully Sullenberger. Maybe a rocky ride, but I'll 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 1: land safely. I'll put it right in the fucking Hudson River, Okay, 104 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,040 Speaker 1: right in the middle, right right, Okay. So uh not 105 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: everybody can do this.

Why don't we do the rock away and 144 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 1: lean right? Because it's time for your top five topics 145 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: of the weekend in combat sports, and we kick off 146 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 1: with the big one on Saturday night. Hopefully you caught 147 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 1: our instant analysis with your boy BC immediately after, but 148 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: it was Upset City in Las Vegas, the PBC on 149 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: Fox pay per view, your Dennis Ugas defending his WBA 150 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: welterweight title against the living leging himself, the ageless wonder, 151 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: forty two year old Manny Pacquiao. But ageless is an 152 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: interesting word. It's the word we sort of use to 153 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: praise Paqioo coming in. How the hell is he still 154 00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: doing this? What is this doing to his legacy? You know, 155 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 1: to a degree, ages is the outgoing narrative too, It's 156 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: not the prevailing one though. The prevailing one is that 157 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 1: your Dennis Ugas got the biggest opportunity in his life 158 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: eleven days notice, and he hit the ball of the fence. 159 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: He absolutely came in and exceeded the expectations that we 160 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: thought put forth the best, most complete performance of his career, 161 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: and did so by leaning on his strengths. He took 162 00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 1: chances he had a demi to stand in front of 163 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: Manny Pacio with a high guard and be responsibly enough 164 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 1: defensively to not get picked apart on his feints and 165 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: his explosive combinations. That takes something. Yes, he's a big welterweight, Yes, 166 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: Manny's a small one. Played a big factor. Yes, so 167 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: did the length. But I say age part of this 168 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: because I think you know, sixty forty sixty percent of 169 00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: this fight was that your Dennis Ugas was the wrong 170 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: opponent to fight on eleven days notice at age forty two, 171 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: coming off a two year layoff. But the other forty 172 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: percent has to be said. You know, age has caught 173 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: up with Manny Pacio or at least age mixed with inactivity, 174 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: which I think was a big part of this because 175 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: you look at the Manny who let's remember when he 176 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 1: lost to Jeff Horne in that controversial fight. We thought 177 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 1: he was old and washed. We didn't take into account 178 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: maybe not a great training camp, the you know, the 179 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: travel to Australia. I don't know if he was meant 180 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: where he needed to be, but he came back a 181 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: year later and put together three wins in twelve months, 182 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: nearly became your twenty nineteen Fighter of the Year at 183 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 1: age forty. Bet Keith Thurman, we know this, you know, 184 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: we know this already. But he did it with activity. 185 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,120 Speaker 1: He was biting off more than he can chew. And 186 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: he did it for the sake of his legacy. He 187 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: did it for the sake of the fans. I'm sure 188 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 1: he did it to protect the money and the payday 189 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 1: and the opportunity because you know, rap Bartholomey was on 190 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: the show last week saying, you know, don't look past 191 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 1: the political savviness of Pacquiao to want to potentially run 192 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 1: for president of his home country next year and to 193 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: want to come in there off a big performance and 194 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 1: a win that we didn't expect he can get. Now 195 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: that was against Spence, We didn't expect you he can get. 196 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: He became the betting favorite against Ugos, rightfully, so about 197 00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 1: three to one, because the whole idea was if he 198 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: can be that Pacchiao from two years ago, it's going 199 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: to be too much for Ugas. But he wasn't that 200 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: same guy. It was in activity, it was the legs 201 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: cramping up due to age. And again it's the wrong 202 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,800 Speaker 1: fighter to have those things come together on short notice. 203 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: A guy who's technically strong. We'll play his one note 204 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 1: and play it well. Although I'll give who Gous a 205 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: lot of credit for the adaptions he made to that. 206 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 1: We know he wasn't one note in a sense. There 207 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: was a lot of nuances to that note. And when 208 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: he mixed in things like those side arm body shots 209 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 1: and the looping right leads against the south paw. He 210 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: fought a great fight. He deserves to have one. He 211 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: deserves to get a big opportunity. I mean, who knows 212 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,440 Speaker 1: we might we might see or Dennis Ugas next against 213 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 1: Earl Spence Junior for three of the four welterweight titles. 214 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a big fight. Would it be exciting? Well, 215 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a technical chess affair. But this one 216 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,800 Speaker 1: was exciting because even though you got neutralized Pacchio Peck, 217 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,960 Speaker 1: he was willing to pour out what was left. I mean, 218 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 1: he didn't necessarily go you know, gonzo for the knockout, 219 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 1: but he also didn't get physically dominated. He got out pointed, 220 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: they got out thought and there's a great performance for Hugas, 221 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: and you know, the question falls to what's next for Pakia. 222 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: He says he'll have a month to about figure out 223 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,839 Speaker 1: if you will run for president. You talk to people 224 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: like Raif Brotham. You, by the way, if you don't 225 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: know race backstory, you know New York Times best selling 226 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: author had done a lot of study in the Philippines 227 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 1: when he was at Northwestern, had a scholarship to go 228 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: out there, wrote a book on the pride and tradition 229 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 1: of Filipino basketball, lived in the Philippines, knows you know 230 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: a ton about what's going on there. You know, he 231 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: says Patio's not expected to win the election if he runs, 232 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 1: but he is pretty much expected to run next year. 233 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 1: What could that mean for his career moving forward? I 234 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 1: know he said in a very humbly after the fight 235 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,680 Speaker 1: that he's like sixty forty right now, sixty percent toward retirement, 236 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: forty percent towards fighting again. It's the passion. He still 237 00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 1: wants to fight, but he's realizing maybe the body's not 238 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: reacting there. But I think there's some problems in the 239 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: belief that Pacquia won't fight again a couple of them. 240 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 1: First and foremost, he loves it too much. He freaking 241 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: loves this. This is who he is. You talk to 242 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 1: people that know Manny Pacio. Yes he does great charitable 243 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: work and the senator in the work to help his 244 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: community as a cenator and all that stuff. But he 245 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 1: kind of also in his free time just is like 246 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 1: like a teenager just wants to play hoops, have his 247 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: buddies around, you know what I mean. It helps people. 248 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: He's a great guy, but like there's a simple quality 249 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: to who he is. He just loves to fight, like 250 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: the same way when he was, you know, fighting to 251 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,400 Speaker 1: survive on the streets selling stuff and got a chance 252 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: to make a run as potentially a professional fighter, and 253 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: constantly just kept climbing that ladder in such hugely incremental 254 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: ways to have this ridiculously legendary career. And the fact 255 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: that I think he can make excuses as to why 256 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: he didn't get the best out of himself for this fight, 257 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 1: the layoff, the last minute, all that. I mean, Look, 258 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,080 Speaker 1: there's the wrong this is the wrong opponent. A technical marvel, 259 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, Bronze Olympic medalist from the Cuban school, wrong 260 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,439 Speaker 1: opponent to kind of just wing it and again like 261 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: that's why he's Manny, that's why. For the first time, seriously, 262 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 1: Manny felt like the grateful dead coming back to tor 263 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: It felt like there were so many people that's just like, oh, 264 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: man I get one more chance to see Manny. I 265 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: know he's gonna deliver. He's always gonna face somebody tough, 266 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 1: and he's always gonna freaking bring it. So it was 267 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: almost like this, this could be it thing and who knows, right, 268 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: but I think the passion mixed with the fact that 269 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 1: he wasn't physically bodied and handled, he wasn't knocked out, 270 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 1: he'll be back. And I think specifically if he loses 271 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 1: the election. Now, Freddie Roach says if he thinks if 272 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: Pakio wins the election, that would be the final fight 273 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 1: he would want to fight one more as president. But 274 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 1: I think it's even more likely if he loses. He's 275 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: gonna what is he gonna do next. Carries a large entourage, 276 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 1: he gives away a lot of money. There are people 277 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,200 Speaker 1: like Amir Khan. He can go in there and make 278 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 1: a big fight against a knockout guaranteed, or he could 279 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: take challenges against others and you know, convince himself. Maybe 280 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 1: I always felt that Manny's got too much love for 281 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: the game, that he was gonna be a candidate to 282 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: hang on too long and take some tough losses in 283 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: the end. We're not at that point, though. I hope 284 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: he doesn't get to that point, but I think you'll 285 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: see him again. And you know, something I touched on 286 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: quickly in the incident analysis pod does Pakio's performance, which 287 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: was good in the first half of the fight, right 288 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,559 Speaker 1: scored it three rounds to three, and by the way, 289 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,719 Speaker 1: who Gots ended up winning by the three judges scorecards 290 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: seven five, eight four, eight four one, sixteen one twelve 291 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: eighty four. That's how I also scored it in the 292 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: second half. It's just, you know, hu Gots shut down 293 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: everything Pacquiel, every avenue, and I think Pack it's for 294 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,439 Speaker 1: for opportunity to get back into the fight, and I 295 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 1: think Pack was frustrated. I don't think it was a 296 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 1: lack of stamina, you know, I don't think it was 297 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: necessarily a lack of unwillingness to go for Broke, because 298 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,600 Speaker 1: I think he felt that he was in this fight 299 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: and had a chance to win. It on the cards 300 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 1: when he went there. But does this suggest that it 301 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,320 Speaker 1: would have been an awful night had it been Errol Spence? 302 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: And I think certainly the footage of seeing that physical 303 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: version of Manny, yeah, you can say, Okay, Spence is 304 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: more well rounded than you gut, certainly, and he might 305 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: be just as good or better in the categories that 306 00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: Hugas is very good at. I mean, Spence is the 307 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: real deal. Could Spence have stop this version of Manny? 308 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: I mean it's certainly in play. But something I talked 309 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 1: about late Saturday was just, you know, styles make fights. 310 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: This was the wrong style matchup for Pakio to try 311 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: to do this on last minute and just wing it. 312 00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: Whereas Spence, for as great as he is and well rounded, 313 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: we've kind of seen the past though if you learn him. 314 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 1: I mean, look, he's stuck to a game plan against 315 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 1: Mikey Garcia that was I'm going to box from the 316 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 1: outside to prove to everybody held much check in box. God, 317 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: he proved it, good lord, he proved it. Twelve rounds 318 00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 1: right shut out, just proved it. But you know, another fight, 319 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 1: Sean Porter fight, for example, they got lured into a 320 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: brawl because he's so great that he can brawl at 321 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: a super elite high level there so, could Pakiov have 322 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: lured him into a little bit of an action fight 323 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: which would have given Pacio had a better chance to hang. 324 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: I still think Manny's losing no matter what. But I 325 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,800 Speaker 1: think you need to remember though, that styles do make fights. 326 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 1: Ugas fought the best of his capabilities and then some, 327 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: and that's the wrong style matchup for this Manny. So 328 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: interesting to see how we roll moving forward. There's the 329 00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: whole purse bid situation for Terrence Crawford and Sean Porter. 330 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: Will Porter pull out now potentially and just fight Ugas 331 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: for the title? Who knows? I hope not. I hope 332 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:38,680 Speaker 1: we see Porter and Crawford next. Maybe Ugas and the 333 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: you know Hugs and Spence when he comes back. You 334 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: also have Keith Thurman and I really enjoyed on the 335 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: PBC on Fox Desk Kay Abdoh hosting, but Sean Porter 336 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 1: and Keith Thurman former rivals. They were hilarious together. I 337 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 1: mean that was like a buddy cop duo. And you know, 338 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: there's always talk of them rematching, which would be a 339 00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: big deal some would They both kind of said, hey, 340 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: maybe we'll just do it at one fifty four so 341 00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: we don't have to cut down. I mean, that'd be 342 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: great fight to make, but I think for Porter there's 343 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: some title fights to make too, So it's gonna be 344 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,800 Speaker 1: interesting how the landscape lays out moving forward. But you 345 00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: do have to stop, like I mentioned, and celebrate what 346 00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: Manny did give us. He didn't he didn't cheapen out. 347 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 1: He went for the win. He put up as strong 348 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 1: a performance as he could. He kept the train on 349 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: the tracks and the event going, and took on the 350 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: next guy in line, who was very dangerous. And that's 351 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: what legends do, and they don't stress about the loss. 352 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 1: So many peck will keep your head held high, you know, 353 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: regardless of what you decide moving forward. So we love you. Look, 354 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: there's very true legends who have I mean, it's not 355 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,680 Speaker 1: that there's never been stuff to criticize and Manny's this 356 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 1: you know, personal life or anything. There's you know, everybody, 357 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: no one's perfect, but man he's got a lot of 358 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,920 Speaker 1: good will for boxing fans and boxing journalists and historians. 359 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:45,560 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of good will built up and 360 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: it's rightfully so you know, all right, good stuff, Let's 361 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: roll on. Let's get to why a lot of you 362 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: are here, right, You have a side of it, and 363 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: there was a UFC Fight Night card in Las Vegas that, 364 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,800 Speaker 1: on the surface you may have been able to forget 365 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 1: about it in the in the glow of all things 366 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 1: Manny Pacio's return. But not only was it a really 367 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: good card, it had specifically two title implicative fights within 368 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: the top of both the middleweight division and the flyweight division, 369 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: which we'll get to in a second, But the main 370 00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 1: event was all about the potential for action here and 371 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: the winner taking a huge step toward another title opportunity. 372 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: When Jared Cannon Air fought Kevin Gastolom it went the 373 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: five full rounds three to two, forty nine forty eight 374 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: across the board for Jared cannoneer. This is a very good, 375 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: high quality win for a guy at thirty seven who 376 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 1: was here to announce on Saturday that he's not done. 377 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 1: And it's not that anyone thought coming off the loss 378 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 1: to Robert Whittaker that he could be done. It's just 379 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 1: that when someone meets their ceiling in this game, particularly 380 00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: like him, who put through such a hard journey to 381 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: cut from heavyweight to middleway and figure out how to 382 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 1: be great, and the commitment to his body that he 383 00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:54,719 Speaker 1: did to get to that point. You know, he went 384 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: in there against Robert Whitaker, and although he was game 385 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: at the end in the third round, he had moments 386 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: and all that, and he never stopped trying to win. 387 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: You know, technically he got handled against one of the 388 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:06,560 Speaker 1: best of all time, seriously, one of the you know, 389 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: Robert Whitaker. Sometimes when a guy hits his ceiling, even subconsciously, 390 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 1: they begin chapter two of the career, which is the exit, 391 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,199 Speaker 1: the slow exit. They still make big fights that can 392 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: still win big fights, but sometimes that tells him this 393 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: is as far as you can go, and sometimes without 394 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 1: realizing it, fighters sort of accept that and become that 395 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:29,639 Speaker 1: cannon heir. I think you had twenty five minutes to 396 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:31,639 Speaker 1: see it here. He went back to the gym and 397 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: figured some things out. His boxing was tremendous in this fight. 398 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: His defensive boxing, switching stances you see in the still there. 399 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 1: The threat of the elbow went in close, certainly, but 400 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: even just the pure boxing of the jab, of switching stances. 401 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 1: He never He'll take one big shot at the time 402 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: and gaslam. Did you know, Mark up his face, Gaslamo 403 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 1: land bombs. We know that, but Cannon here was so 404 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,840 Speaker 1: poised even when he drive the turning point of this 405 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: fight in round three, when he dropped Gaslon that hook 406 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 1: first of all the balls on this guy, the chin, 407 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 1: the backbone on Kelvin Gaslam. Whatever you think about him 408 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 1: and five losses in six fights, we're gonna have a lot 409 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: to say about what we all think about him. That 410 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: guy's got a world class chin. That hook knocks out 411 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 1: eighty percent of UFC fighters, and of the remaining twenty percent, 412 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: I'd say ten percent are down and they're hurt and 413 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 1: they're ready to be finished. And he popped right back 414 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: up and landed some shots of his own. So I 415 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: think that showed to you that Cannoneer's patience in those 416 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,440 Speaker 1: moments was worthwhile, was smart, And you know, it's always 417 00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: a little dangerous when you're not willing to go to 418 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:36,919 Speaker 1: the scorecards, because it's not like either one was that 419 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: close to a knockout. But you know, there's a part 420 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 1: of Cairnon near with that that just was confident heading 421 00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:42,719 Speaker 1: into the scorecards that he felt he had one at 422 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,920 Speaker 1: least three rounds. He'd done enough now that's always dangerous, 423 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 1: but this was a high level fight with two guys 424 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 1: who realized their positioning in this middleweight title division, and 425 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: specifically for Gasolom, who you could argue really couldn't afford 426 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,239 Speaker 1: another loss, elite or not, they were willing to, you know, 427 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 1: to go after it to a level where they didn't 428 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 1: leave themselves open to be finished. So this was interesting 429 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,520 Speaker 1: because Cannon near ceiling before this, and we saw him 430 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 1: hit that ceiling or so. I thought, like I just 431 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 1: said against Whittaker, was that you know, he's powerful enough 432 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: to get out the BB plus guys A minus guys. 433 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: He has enough power where he could stumble into a title. 434 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,360 Speaker 1: And I don't mean stumble accidentally. I mean he's powerful 435 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 1: enough where I think we all believe he could knock 436 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: somebody out and win a title, like a Jessica Androge, 437 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: who I got nothing bad to say about it, but 438 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: it's more power than anything else. And she did win 439 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: a title and shot out to her for doing that, 440 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: and she was powerful. She slammed Rose on her head 441 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: and she's knocked other people cold. You know, in a 442 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 1: women's division that you don't typically see that. But I 443 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,680 Speaker 1: think for Androge, though, if a technician can handle her 444 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 1: and avoid that big one. Then there's the levels, right, 445 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: And I don't think, at least I didn't think cannoneer 446 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 1: could out point an elite like this. And I know 447 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: the kickback reactions. B see, good god, you haven't gotten 448 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 1: to your gasoline breakdown yet. But if gastolone loses five 449 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: out of six, you can't say easily. I mean, at 450 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,920 Speaker 1: some point at the end of the day, right, Bill 451 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,879 Speaker 1: parcels you are what your record says you are. And 452 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: I hate that phrase because it's so true. It's so 453 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 1: it's so like, you know, in my head, I'm an athlete, right. 454 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: I play old guy hoops once a week when it's 455 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: not COVID. I I've run, I've run the shitload of 456 00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: ten k's, and I got into serious marathon training. It 457 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 1: didn't get to end up getting to run the marathon, unfortunately, 458 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: but I put through that training camp, if you will, 459 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 1: for lack of a better term, and it was grueling 460 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: as shit. I still think like I'm an athlete and 461 00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 1: a runner, what the majority of my day to day 462 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 1: life suggests, I'm not, so, you know, looking in the mirror, 463 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: getting the black livered test from the from the old 464 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: family doctor, so to speak, right like you are what 465 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: you're what the mirror in some ways says you are, 466 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: or what's your old body says you feel like. But 467 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: yet again against an elite, fo Gasoline put on an 468 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: elite performance. Now there was holes and flaws with his performance, 469 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 1: but it was elite. And to see Cannoneer, a guy 470 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:00,919 Speaker 1: who I like, Okay, he's gonna beat the elite, He's 471 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: gonna have to knock him out. No, I saw a 472 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: change here. I saw him raise his game to another 473 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 1: level and realize that he had to based on what 474 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: he learned from that Whitaker fight. And that's great to see, 475 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 1: especially at a guy who's thirty seven. But as you 476 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 1: can see, he's in sick shape and he put out 477 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: twenty five minutes of cardio. I don't think Jared Knnoneer 478 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 1: has had his last say in this division now, given 479 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: the historic qualities of the top of this division with 480 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 1: Adasanya and Whitaker there not to mention some of those 481 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: other scary players. Do I believe Jared Kannonner will win 482 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 1: the champion of No, I don't, but I believe that 483 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: he's going to have a say Again. He's going to 484 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 1: get himself in another fight, maybe his next fight that's 485 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: either a Number one contenders fight or you know, wins 486 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: that and maybe gets another title, so he'll have his 487 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: say again, is what I'm trying to say. He's not 488 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 1: done improving, and that was great to see. Sliding over 489 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: to Gaslum for a second. It's humbling. It's humbling for 490 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,320 Speaker 1: a guy like me who constantly sticking up for him 491 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: because we're seeing an elite perform I'm sorry, we are, okay. 492 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,119 Speaker 1: Sometimes playing to the level of your competition, yes, or 493 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,360 Speaker 1: playing to the style too much. He's he's too much 494 00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,879 Speaker 1: of a follower in the cage normally, not not in 495 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 1: this fight per se, but normally where it's like whatever 496 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: pace you're putting out there, whatever energy you're putting out there. 497 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 1: Maybe except for the Atasani fight, which was the best, 498 00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, distillation of him. If you will, he'll react 499 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 1: to what the opponent's doing rather than set the terms. 500 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 1: The thing I loved about his performance on Saturday, which, 501 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: by the way, I did also score three rounds to 502 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: two for cannon Air first two for Gastallom by the way, 503 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: but that knockdown and round three did turn the tide, 504 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 1: and you know, I don't think Gaslam ever got over 505 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,919 Speaker 1: that hump. But for a lot of this fight, Gastolum 506 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 1: was setting a very good tone. He did a lot 507 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: of what I sort of said coming in that I 508 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 1: need to see out of him. I believed in the 509 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: work he put in with Henry Sahudo that helped him 510 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: see the sport a little bit differently. I loved his boxing. 511 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: He got out with the jab, with foot movement, and 512 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 1: with a way to really not just look to counter 513 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,679 Speaker 1: with the big left hand and just be that big 514 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: one punch chance. But the guy who was taking the 515 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: fight to Cannoneer, and he was able to set up 516 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: some really good combinations. And although I mentioned earlier that 517 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 1: the best part about Cannonear's defense is he never really 518 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 1: was taking more than one shot at the time, and 519 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,199 Speaker 1: that's largely true. Even though Gaslam was letting go some 520 00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 1: powerful combinations, some of that was getting blocked. And maybe that's, 521 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 1: you know, ultimately why Cannoneer got the win here. But 522 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: I think another big reason why Gastolam did not get 523 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,080 Speaker 1: the win. And you saw the rightful frustration in his 524 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: face after the scorecards were read, after putting in would 525 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: look like a great camp and you know he's ready 526 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:30,919 Speaker 1: to just go. He said, there was like this is 527 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: becoming like Tincup. Remember the final scene in Tin Cup 528 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: Kevin Costner. It's like he could have laid it up 529 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 1: and had a chance, but he's like, no, I gotta 530 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: make this shot. You know, I got to go for it. 531 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: That was sort of the Gaslam's mentality in taking this fight, 532 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:48,760 Speaker 1: although he wasn't putting out a reckless game plan. But 533 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: there's something that Daniel Cormier teased at right around round three. 534 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,959 Speaker 1: But I don't think the broadcast, from my taste, hammered 535 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,359 Speaker 1: down on it enough. We lost this fight for Covin 536 00:24:57,359 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 1: Gastolum was although it put out an elite effort from 537 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: from the boxing standpoint, there was no threat of the takedown. 538 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: I know he tried seven takedowns and credit to Cannoneer 539 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 1: who stuffed them all, but first three or four takedown 540 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: attempts looked more like in the back of his mind 541 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 1: he's thinking, oh, I have a quote I have to fill. 542 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:15,879 Speaker 1: My coach told me too, I have to take you know, 543 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: they look like he was just trying to get the 544 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:19,479 Speaker 1: takedown attempts in and then he got stuffed and by 545 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 1: the end it just look like cannoneir was you know, 546 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: seeing them coming, and to his credit, stopped that. But 547 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: Gaslin doesn't have that completely well rounded game on a 548 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: consistent basis where he's giving you that threat of the 549 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: takedown that would make his striking even more crisper and 550 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 1: even more powerful and valuable. It's still although it was 551 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: good boxing and good movement, just like he used against Adissania, 552 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,000 Speaker 1: by the way, not more traditional boxing. He was more 553 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: of a counter striker there, but he was almost doing 554 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: Paqiao like rushes in with combinations and coming and he 555 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: was dangerous from the outside. It was still a little 556 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 1: bit one note heavy, even though that note had some 557 00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:56,119 Speaker 1: variations in the boxing. There was no threat of that, 558 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,960 Speaker 1: and I think in a close tactical fight here that 559 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 1: was the difference. He wasn't able to disguise that or 560 00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:05,959 Speaker 1: have that threat at least out there. So you know, 561 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 1: you are what your record says you are. And I 562 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,360 Speaker 1: want to defend Gaslon as I always want to do. 563 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,359 Speaker 1: You know, I'm still so high from being there at 564 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,560 Speaker 1: UFC turn at thirty six. Yes for life, brother, you 565 00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: better believe it. Anyone else that was blessed to be 566 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,840 Speaker 1: there or sit next to me for Yo Wanna and 567 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 1: Wyey or any other classic fight or performance we've seen. 568 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,439 Speaker 1: It does you do? It's a part of you. You know, 569 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: we're fans at the end of the day. It's a 570 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 1: part of you. It can affect your decision making as 571 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 1: an analyst. But yet I still seeing almost perfect and 572 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 1: not in perfect performances from a standpoint that there was 573 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: perfection the case, but perfectly well rounded, all the categories clicked. 574 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 1: I'm not seeing that for Gasoline, but I know it's 575 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 1: in there. But at some point five losses out of 576 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: six fights, I'm not saying he's gonna get cut, nor 577 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: should he get cut, but he's got to make some 578 00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 1: serious decisions that go beyond should I consistently match myself 579 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 1: as hard as I as I have been. When you're 580 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 1: somebody like Manny pacya who's doing that but you're largely winning, 581 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 1: it's sort of like we can stand here in salute. 582 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,440 Speaker 1: But if you're doing that and losing, I could see 583 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,679 Speaker 1: the frustration. He's close. He's fricking close. I mean, wouldn't you. 584 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: I mean, no disrespect to his team, but like if 585 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 1: he's going the distance of reaching out to to Suhudo. 586 00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 1: Maybe it's a better fit for him to change up 587 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 1: camps and to do somebody like the Captain alber Rosine 588 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: and get deeper into that. And it's nothing against his 589 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: team now, but he needs some kind of change because 590 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: he's not only the record says speaks for itself. He's close. 591 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,160 Speaker 1: He shows, he shows flashes, but he's always shown those slashes, 592 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: So I guess I'm gonna have to stop defending him. 593 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: It's like when you're in high school and and like, 594 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:43,639 Speaker 1: you know, there's this kid that you want to be 595 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: friends with your parents, Like, nah, I don't know about 596 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,639 Speaker 1: that kid. You know that's that's unsafe there, and you know, 597 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: and you want to defend the kid, but he keeps 598 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 1: showing up in the police blotter in the local town paper, 599 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, and you're like, no, mom, you don't understand 600 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,159 Speaker 1: that he's good. He's got a good heart. You know, 601 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: Dylan's a real good kid, right. I know. His dad's 602 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,440 Speaker 1: in jail, and some for a high schooler. He lives 603 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: on his own in his own house, and his mom's 604 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,080 Speaker 1: some weird sort of gypsy hippie off in the desert 605 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 1: and his dad eventually blows up. And he's got this 606 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: weird on and off again relationship with Brenda, and he's 607 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 1: also cheating on her on the side with Kelly. And 608 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: he's got really an adult hairline for a guy in 609 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 1: high school, although very solid sideburns. And maybe he's keeping 610 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 1: in such close friendship with that goodie two shoe Brandon 611 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 1: because he believes he's getting close enough to something that 612 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: he knows he's missing on the inside. Maybe all that's true, 613 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 1: but mom and Dad, Dylan's a pretty good guy at 614 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,479 Speaker 1: the end of the day. Kelva Gastallon looks like a 615 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: freaking elite fighter when he's in there against elite guys, 616 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,840 Speaker 1: but he not winning them, so you gotta figure that out. 617 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:43,880 Speaker 1: I don't know, we're past that point of just you know, 618 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: something's got to change now love him canon hear data 619 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: admit afterwards. I need the money. I can't wait for 620 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:54,680 Speaker 1: the Whittaker Out of Snia rematch, which may be pushed 621 00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 1: off to twenty twenty two, as we've talked about with 622 00:28:56,600 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: the COVID conditions in the Oceanic region, maybe he'll have 623 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,440 Speaker 1: to and he can't wait that long. Financially, and it's interesting, 624 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: and I don't think he's he said that to sort 625 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,720 Speaker 1: of stir up the fighter pay thing and the you know, 626 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: the Chyenne Bays when she was very very honest a 627 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 1: couple weeks back, and sort of get us into that discussion. 628 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,360 Speaker 1: Per se. He's just saying the reality of the situation, 629 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,920 Speaker 1: which I think echoes the Misha Tate headline that had 630 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,520 Speaker 1: some run last week where she said she basically spent 631 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 1: her entire paycheck plus win bonus for her UFC return 632 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,920 Speaker 1: on training. And it's like, you know, you could certainly say, well, 633 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,640 Speaker 1: you didn't have to invest that much in yourself, but 634 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,040 Speaker 1: you kind of do. When you get to this level, 635 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: you kind of do. You know. It's at this level 636 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:40,600 Speaker 1: we're talking about this with Gasoline right at this level, 637 00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: the difference between being a contender and a pretender, the 638 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: difference between being a Michael Johnson who's like the best 639 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: guy with a bad record. We had the debate last week, 640 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 1: like with Randy Ktur, who's the best fighter we've ever 641 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: seen with a kind of a crap record. Well, Michael Johnson, 642 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 1: guy that we all know as those flashes of being elite. 643 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,800 Speaker 1: Gasolum's another one of those guys. The difference, though, is 644 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 1: so damn close that I mean, look us, he's got 645 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 1: a hell of a pay structure model because knowledge does 646 00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 1: it keep the pay down and allows them to expand, 647 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 1: It keeps the hunger high because everybody desperately wants to 648 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,480 Speaker 1: get to that one percent level of being a consistent 649 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 1: headliner and getting pay per view money and getting that 650 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: championship level pay so badly that they're willing to risk 651 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,560 Speaker 1: it all because you have to risk it all to 652 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 1: be at this level. And it's it's it's humbling, it's 653 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: so bare. I wish it wasn't the case, you know. 654 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: I wish Jared Canningler didn't say, yeah, I kind of 655 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: have to come back in four months against hopefully somebody 656 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 1: in a number one contender position where I can secure 657 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: another title shot. He doesn't want to fight somebody less 658 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:42,840 Speaker 1: than that, but he may end up for all we know, 659 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: because gotta cash some checks. And it's it's not cheap 660 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,000 Speaker 1: with the with the camp, with the nutritionist, with all 661 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 1: that all that shit, nor should it be. But you know, 662 00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: it's what you gotta do. It's what you got to 663 00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: do to be the best, right, Okay, you know, I 664 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 1: can't keep saying I want to eat better. I gotta 665 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,960 Speaker 1: protect this liver. I must protect this. I'm protecting Morning 666 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:06,160 Speaker 1: Combat today. Okay, well, Luke Thomas is flying home, but 667 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,120 Speaker 1: I gotta do more than that. I gotta protect this 668 00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: liver too. All right, all right, people texting me, I 669 00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: got a live show here, I got a live show. Okay, 670 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 1: all right, here we go. Good shit on that UFC 671 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: Vegas main event, but it wasn't the only thing that 672 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,760 Speaker 1: was entertaining. Look a car that I think overachieved a bit. 673 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: We saw some fantastic highlights on the undercard knockouts that 674 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: we'll see certainly in today's Have you seen this shit 675 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,320 Speaker 1: with solobc. But the performances were intriguing. Let's go right 676 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: to that co main event where Mark Omadson excuse me, 677 00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: at age thirty six. We know the decorated Olympic recor 678 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: Roman wrestling backbone background. This was a very key fight 679 00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,160 Speaker 1: for him against Claiy Gueda to try to I think 680 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: on paper, the narrative for me was to try to 681 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: show us are you going in the right direction on 682 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: this late late transition from amateur wrestling to MMA In 683 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: the full time commitment. You know, can you be down 684 00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,000 Speaker 1: the road a top ten player. Well, he's got to 685 00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,080 Speaker 1: win this fight against Clay Gueda. And what I didn't 686 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 1: focus on it really necessarily have the full knowledge of, 687 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 1: is is how this was more than just you know, 688 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,720 Speaker 1: I need to look great against Gueda to move up 689 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 1: and get closer to those rankings. It was a lot 690 00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 1: of a personal, intense journey for Madson that included his 691 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,320 Speaker 1: wife being diagnosed with MS, and you know, really being 692 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: motivated to fight to honor her and encourage her and 693 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,920 Speaker 1: her fight, and also the you know, coming back from 694 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 1: the broken jawn his last fight. So you saw the 695 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 1: emotion afterwards as Marco Madson took a split decision in 696 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: a very high spirited fight. You know, the energy put 697 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,160 Speaker 1: out was huge, and you know that's gonna happen in 698 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 1: a Clay Gueda fight. Only I didn't think it would 699 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: go the way it did. I thought Guido was gonna 700 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,680 Speaker 1: be the one setting the pace, and instead it was 701 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,600 Speaker 1: Madson constantly setting the bit. In fact, it was Madson 702 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: largely essuing his strength, which is wrestling. He went for 703 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,800 Speaker 1: two takedowns, he got stuffed both times, and he was 704 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: committed to. It was almost like Crone Gracie against cub Swanson. 705 00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: He was committed no matter or what to strike and 706 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 1: he set a hillacious pace that Gweeda certainly equaled in 707 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: terms of movement, but also despite needing to move because 708 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: Madsen was coming after him, was much more of a 709 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: counter striker and his counter boxing was on point, and 710 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 1: it became a very interesting fight, high speed, decently high technique, 711 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:22,400 Speaker 1: not a ton of action, although Greeeda's face got marked up, 712 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 1: but Madsen did enough. In the end. I thought he 713 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 1: deserved the win. It was very close. I thought he 714 00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:30,400 Speaker 1: elevated what we thought of him coming in certainly in 715 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: terms of his striking, and he's certainly, like I mentioned, 716 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: overly committed to show us that. But even though this 717 00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 1: is a huge win for him emotionally and personally, I'm 718 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:43,280 Speaker 1: still not sold that his ceiling is of And look, 719 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:45,280 Speaker 1: he's in a very deep lightweight division, so it's not 720 00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,959 Speaker 1: easy to begin with. But I don't think his ceiling 721 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 1: is going to be as a top ten fighter, and 722 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: it's I don't want to damn him for gutting out 723 00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:57,239 Speaker 1: a great win and take anything away from what it 724 00:33:57,280 --> 00:33:58,640 Speaker 1: meant to him. And I don't want to take anyth 725 00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 1: away from Gweeda, who nine to still be this tough 726 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: of an out in this game. Man, you gotta, you gotta. 727 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:07,880 Speaker 1: I mean, look at like what Diego Sanchez did for 728 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:09,399 Speaker 1: that short run at the end of his career. Recently, 729 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:11,480 Speaker 1: we're put together some wins like whoa, whoa. You know, 730 00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 1: to be able to be relevant, to be a Jim Miller, 731 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,520 Speaker 1: to be able to stay that long, you win some, 732 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 1: you lose him on Matt Brown. I mean, you've gotta 733 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: You've got to work at this age to adapt, adapt 734 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:23,520 Speaker 1: and evolve. And that was a strong performance for what 735 00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,280 Speaker 1: is left of Quay Gueda. But if Mark will Madson's 736 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,640 Speaker 1: gonna be a legitimate top ten threat in this division. 737 00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:31,359 Speaker 1: I think he's got to finish Guida or take him 738 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: down and control large portions of this and I think 739 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,399 Speaker 1: he got away from his strength too much, and that's 740 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: why it was such a close fight. And you can argue, well, 741 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:40,800 Speaker 1: you know what about Weed just take down. Yeah, it 742 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 1: looks strong in those two stops, but you know, Mattson 743 00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,120 Speaker 1: kind of got rid of the again, the threat of 744 00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: that takedown and just committed to punching and maybe it 745 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,480 Speaker 1: helped him gain the confidence and evolve and grow. But 746 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:55,399 Speaker 1: I feel like against the top ten, he didn't knock 747 00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,920 Speaker 1: the hell out, and that's that's not me wishing for 748 00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: it or being necessarily reckless here, but I I just 749 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,759 Speaker 1: see the holes there where. I mean, I'm trying to 750 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: sound like Joe, We're gonna talking to the shop here, 751 00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,880 Speaker 1: but I got some fears there, even though it was 752 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:08,719 Speaker 1: a strong step forward and everything going on in his 753 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,560 Speaker 1: personal life, and again Gwita given us the gutty performance, 754 00:35:11,600 --> 00:35:14,359 Speaker 1: like we think. The bigger story, though, was a little 755 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:16,520 Speaker 1: bit deeper on the undercard. Opening up the main card, 756 00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:21,640 Speaker 1: this flyweight bout between Alexandre Pantosia and Brandon Royval was 757 00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: high theater for about a round and a half. However 758 00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,440 Speaker 1: long it lasted. Pantosia came out like a freaking savage 759 00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,160 Speaker 1: why because he had to keep up with what he 760 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,800 Speaker 1: knew what was coming back from him, a typically animal 761 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:40,480 Speaker 1: savage paced from Brandon Royval, who never stops moving adapting. 762 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:43,080 Speaker 1: What we got, particularly in the first three four minutes, 763 00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,920 Speaker 1: was just scramble after reversal after mad scramble. This was fun, 764 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:53,000 Speaker 1: has shit to watch the new strawweight division, flyweight division. 765 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say that wrong, right, I'm gonna screw that up. 766 00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:59,280 Speaker 1: The new flyweight division posts DJ now posts a hudo 767 00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: who was a transitionary champion in a way. But you know, 768 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,880 Speaker 1: certainly we can do the narrative of he saved the division. 769 00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: He might he might have saved the damn division, but 770 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,640 Speaker 1: post him. What we got from Figaredo to Moreno to Askarov, 771 00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:15,680 Speaker 1: I mean, Karra France, these guys, these guys bring it, 772 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:20,560 Speaker 1: these guys fricking bring it. Pantosia brought it early. Royval 773 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: made adjustments, almost had that you know, that leg submission going. 774 00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: He started to get going on the on the just 775 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:30,520 Speaker 1: batshit pace, and you saw Pantosia digging in and punching 776 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:33,280 Speaker 1: with him, which on paper probably wasn't his smartest strategy, 777 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,640 Speaker 1: but there were pockets that he needed to gain back 778 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:39,280 Speaker 1: that respect and for him to operate at that level 779 00:36:39,320 --> 00:36:44,280 Speaker 1: of high ship, that crazy pace and reversals and adaptions 780 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,520 Speaker 1: and chain I mean, this was high level stuff. And 781 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 1: then get the finish as you're seeing there in the picture, 782 00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,200 Speaker 1: Holy crap. And to put that rear naked in and 783 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:53,919 Speaker 1: take his back so quickly and then crank the neck 784 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: to this you know that angle. Uh, that's some nasty shit. 785 00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 1: So first of all, what I want to say about 786 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,640 Speaker 1: Pantosia is I certainly do not consistently give him the 787 00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,160 Speaker 1: respect he deserves. I looked at him previously as a 788 00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to not a bit player, a supporting 789 00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:09,640 Speaker 1: cast player. Though of this larger picture, yes, he's had 790 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:12,359 Speaker 1: some really awesome wins and at times lost to some 791 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: of the super elites, and that's why he was just 792 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,759 Speaker 1: recently out of that title picture. He's back in it 793 00:37:17,840 --> 00:37:21,160 Speaker 1: in a big fricking way. And he also I don't 794 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:24,960 Speaker 1: have Luke Thomas here as your you know, resident American 795 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,480 Speaker 1: Idol judge tat referee here, but he with that left 796 00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,640 Speaker 1: arm sleeve he might have with Josh Emmett, with some 797 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,960 Speaker 1: of these other rare guys in this shitty sport of 798 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,160 Speaker 1: tats some of the best ink we're saying in the UFC. 799 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,000 Speaker 1: So if that means anything, probably not shout out to Pandosia. 800 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:41,759 Speaker 1: The larger picture, though, is he may have just earned 801 00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:43,680 Speaker 1: himself a title shot. In fact, I think he did, 802 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,240 Speaker 1: And to see him in the interview afterwards with Brandon Marino, 803 00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,880 Speaker 1: who was in the Apex for UFC's you know, a 804 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:54,240 Speaker 1: Spanish commentary team. Then you remember the history, which again 805 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:56,360 Speaker 1: you know, have I seen them when they fought the 806 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,160 Speaker 1: official time, when they fought a couple of years back. Yeah, 807 00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: I remember, I've seen that fight, but like off and 808 00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,920 Speaker 1: I don't. I didn't really remember what happened. It was 809 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:05,080 Speaker 1: just sort of like another Flyway fight that was pretty good. 810 00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: I enjoyed it. But you know, again, I wasn't investing 811 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:10,080 Speaker 1: as close, I guess as I needed to in Pantosia's 812 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,040 Speaker 1: development to see that he's got two victories over the 813 00:38:13,040 --> 00:38:15,239 Speaker 1: current champion, the one, of course, the submission win during 814 00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,719 Speaker 1: their Ultimate Fighter season, but then to come back and 815 00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,080 Speaker 1: get that unanimous decision victory a couple of years back. 816 00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: There's a storyline here, and this fight's gonna be awesome. 817 00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: I know, good old figure, my boy is mad that 818 00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:28,000 Speaker 1: he's not getting next, but you're gonna have to go 819 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,319 Speaker 1: back to the drawing board, not for long, but for 820 00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: you know, for another big fight, to get a big win, 821 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,040 Speaker 1: to bounce yourself back in here. That's just the way 822 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: this works. This division's hot, it's fun. Ascarrow's lumin did 823 00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:39,919 Speaker 1: that guy's gonna want to be heard from, and he's 824 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,680 Speaker 1: already had some really high level fun fights. But Pantosha's 825 00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,440 Speaker 1: common man. I mean, this is a little reminiscent, although 826 00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,719 Speaker 1: not as destructive and consistent with the finishes, but a 827 00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: little reminiscent at least for my representation of where their 828 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:56,400 Speaker 1: stock was, for what Charles Olavera has done in the 829 00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,200 Speaker 1: past few years. And another guy who I was like, 830 00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,680 Speaker 1: I'm watching it, I'm seeing it. I'm still little late. 831 00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:03,560 Speaker 1: I'm officially hearing it, you know what I mean? You 832 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:06,279 Speaker 1: know I can hear Jimmy right finally, you know you 833 00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: can't here just listen to that ship once in a while. 834 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: We gotta take a breath, right, you know, I mean, 835 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:17,040 Speaker 1: just you know, make it a little on your here. 836 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:18,440 Speaker 1: A lot of b D floating around this room, a 837 00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:20,759 Speaker 1: lot of a lot of It's very sweaty here, Connecticut, 838 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 1: post post tropical storm, very sweaty, very very swampy. But 839 00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:28,960 Speaker 1: we're dealing with it, okay, all right, so uh Pantosian 840 00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 1: moreno next, yes, please please, please, please please okay, give 841 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:34,920 Speaker 1: me that ship. Let's keep it rolling. Also MMA from 842 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:38,600 Speaker 1: the Weekend Friday Nights Belatour two six five, invading the 843 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:44,120 Speaker 1: fabulous fight town of Soious Falls, uh South Dakota. I 844 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 1: guess so, all right, Belta just there a few years back. 845 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,840 Speaker 1: We're back again, and we were back with a heavyweight 846 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:53,920 Speaker 1: main event that had name power, had age, had a 847 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,280 Speaker 1: lot of combined victories between Chech Congo and Sergey Caratanov. 848 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,440 Speaker 1: It's really remarkable, to be honest, that they've never fought. 849 00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,360 Speaker 1: I mean, Congo's been in belatrus Is twenty thirteen, Cartanas 850 00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,719 Speaker 1: been in and out, bounced around, done some shit. But 851 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,879 Speaker 1: we saw him and I think they put on the 852 00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:12,560 Speaker 1: best case scenario for this matchup, which yes, had some 853 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 1: of this sort of I don't want to say nostalgic, 854 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,840 Speaker 1: because even though these guys have done a lot historically, 855 00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:19,319 Speaker 1: we're not you know, we're not like aching to see them, 856 00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:21,600 Speaker 1: but like you get them together, you're like, okay, old names, 857 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:24,279 Speaker 1: we know they'll probably knock each other out. It lived 858 00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 1: up to best case scenario in terms of theater, and 859 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 1: it was Congo controlling the action earlier like he often 860 00:40:29,560 --> 00:40:32,880 Speaker 1: does against bigger punchers with his length, but he was 861 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 1: getting a little too willing. I thought the end of 862 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 1: round one to put his back to the cage and 863 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,719 Speaker 1: work off of there. Can't do that against Karatanoff. He 864 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,160 Speaker 1: hits too hard and I think if you studied closely, 865 00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,560 Speaker 1: although it was off the radar, Kartanoff in the past 866 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: year during the pandemic was professional boxing, and he scored 867 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 1: two wins and one over I mean he's washed, but 868 00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:53,760 Speaker 1: one over Danny Williams, a guy who once beat Mike Tyson. 869 00:40:53,880 --> 00:40:58,319 Speaker 1: So Kartanoff, to his credit, used a thudding jab and 870 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,719 Speaker 1: back Kongo up and then hurt him. And then he 871 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,680 Speaker 1: landed this batshit crazy sort of headkick that caught Congo 872 00:41:04,719 --> 00:41:05,960 Speaker 1: in the eye. I don't know if we're gonna see 873 00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,160 Speaker 1: it coming up here soon, but Congo ends up almost 874 00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:10,520 Speaker 1: turning his back on the action to close round one. 875 00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 1: He goes back to the corner with eye issues. He's winded, 876 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,759 Speaker 1: he's hurt, and you're thinking, this is it, man. I 877 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: mean he was, you know, twelve and three coming in 878 00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:22,400 Speaker 1: as last fifteen. But nobody dominates this guy. But in 879 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,200 Speaker 1: the second round, there's that moment I talked about. In 880 00:41:24,200 --> 00:41:28,239 Speaker 1: the second round, though, Congo comes furiously back and he's 881 00:41:28,280 --> 00:41:30,200 Speaker 1: taking the lead. Now he's not backing up to the cage. 882 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,640 Speaker 1: He's landing right hands, and he had an opportunity here 883 00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:36,840 Speaker 1: to hurt Karatanoff, and I think it meshed perfectly with 884 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,279 Speaker 1: Sergei fading. Serge gave a lot in the end of 885 00:41:39,280 --> 00:41:41,279 Speaker 1: that first round to try to finish Congo when he 886 00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:44,000 Speaker 1: had him hurt, but Congo got dramatic for us. He 887 00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,200 Speaker 1: hurt Karatonof, dropped him briefly, then took him down and 888 00:41:47,239 --> 00:41:49,239 Speaker 1: then quickly took his back and once he got that 889 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 1: rear naked and the seconds are ticking off in round two, 890 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:54,960 Speaker 1: and he very smartly leaned all of his body weight 891 00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:56,840 Speaker 1: forward on top of karatan Off to get that. Now. 892 00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:58,520 Speaker 1: I know I just kind of gave you the deep 893 00:41:58,719 --> 00:42:00,680 Speaker 1: play by play on the fight, but I think deserved it. 894 00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:02,719 Speaker 1: It was fun theater between two old guys, and it 895 00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:06,400 Speaker 1: was Congo, I think, securing another title opportunity. If you 896 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: look at this division as a whole, it's not deep. 897 00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:13,399 Speaker 1: Baterer's busy Valaentine Moldowski's your new you know, interim champ 898 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,440 Speaker 1: who just beat the guy who was last to beat 899 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,880 Speaker 1: Congo by split decision. In Tim Johnson. Johnson's going the 900 00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:21,080 Speaker 1: fat or route, I think you make Moldowski Congo next 901 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,040 Speaker 1: for the interim title I think you do and Check 902 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:25,520 Speaker 1: showed you he can be vulnerable. God of God. He's 903 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,680 Speaker 1: forty six, right, you know, but he's still smart and 904 00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: efficient and when he needs to he can find drama. 905 00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,920 Speaker 1: And how much did he pour out of himself? He 906 00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: couldn't get up after the win, like really, he couldn't 907 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:42,400 Speaker 1: get up like he used it all. So if cartanof 908 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 1: didn't get tapped here, Ron three would have been would 909 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:48,520 Speaker 1: have been gross as shit. But uh, Congo saving pulling 910 00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,399 Speaker 1: a win out from the from the jaws of defeat there, 911 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,319 Speaker 1: good shit, Check Congo, love you brother. Wasn't the Pat 912 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: Barry right storm and crazy finish, but it was pretty 913 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,760 Speaker 1: crazy just the same. And I love me some Pat Barry. 914 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 1: He's engaged to the baddest motherfucker on the planet, you 915 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,360 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. The best, the best, sorry, the best. Yeah, 916 00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:10,960 Speaker 1: she is the best. Let's keep it going here in 917 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:13,319 Speaker 1: this Comyan event. Unfortunately we talked about it, that fight 918 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,080 Speaker 1: between JJ Wilson and Adam Bortz fell apart. But we're 919 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: gonna get logan story and sort of a prop up 920 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,120 Speaker 1: position featured position in the comyane event, Logan sturly fighting 921 00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,680 Speaker 1: in his home state. He was a minus thirty five 922 00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:30,920 Speaker 1: hundred favorite there against what's that fellow's name? The hell's 923 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: that guy's name? Dante Shiro? You better know Dante Schiro's 924 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,680 Speaker 1: name now though why it didn't win, but he did 925 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:42,440 Speaker 1: more than survive. He gave Logan Story fits just by 926 00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:47,520 Speaker 1: being big, strong, stubborn, uneasy to get mauled. Story had 927 00:43:47,560 --> 00:43:51,839 Speaker 1: some big success early wrestling, but it slowed down and 928 00:43:51,880 --> 00:43:54,240 Speaker 1: it kind of stopped, and we were in a situation 929 00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:56,719 Speaker 1: where I think his home state was actually booing the 930 00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,520 Speaker 1: third round of this fight because we all saw a 931 00:43:59,600 --> 00:44:03,680 Speaker 1: frustration Logan Story unable to do what he wanted to 932 00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 1: do coming in. But unfortunately for him, or nearly unfortunate 933 00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,640 Speaker 1: for him as they were about to read the scorecards. 934 00:44:10,040 --> 00:44:13,600 Speaker 1: I don't think he adapted or adjusted add all to that. 935 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,480 Speaker 1: So what am I trying to say here? We all 936 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:18,359 Speaker 1: know Logan Story can wrestle, and he showed the hell 937 00:44:18,520 --> 00:44:21,520 Speaker 1: out against Arslav Amaslov. Now you're walterweight champion of the 938 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:24,320 Speaker 1: Belatour banner before that was like this number one contender 939 00:44:24,360 --> 00:44:28,319 Speaker 1: is almost unbeaten versus unbeaten. Fight It reminded me a 940 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,600 Speaker 1: lot on paper of John Jones and Ryan batter Right. 941 00:44:30,600 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: It was like this big deal and story showed that 942 00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,920 Speaker 1: he's of this elite ILK. So when he's going in 943 00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:37,880 Speaker 1: there against a minus you know, against a guy who's 944 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,760 Speaker 1: just a making his bel too our debut in Sciro, 945 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,400 Speaker 1: who's lost before in the regional circuit but built himself 946 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:48,240 Speaker 1: back up, you expect what story to you know, bag 947 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 1: and Tag and rag Doll. This guy, for sure ragal 948 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,600 Speaker 1: matter in a movie like No, No chance about it. 949 00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,239 Speaker 1: I also expect Sturley to show some striking. I also 950 00:44:56,280 --> 00:44:58,439 Speaker 1: expect him to try to finish him with strikes, maybe 951 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: even on the feet, to show how round it he is. 952 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,640 Speaker 1: So we can get on the microphone afterwards in front 953 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,799 Speaker 1: of the adoring home fans and be like, what up, Yarslav, 954 00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,919 Speaker 1: You're gonna have to see me again, brother, Okay, let's 955 00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,359 Speaker 1: do it. And I know he wouldn't say that he's 956 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,160 Speaker 1: a very you know, he's a different type of cap 957 00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:15,760 Speaker 1: very humble dude. But he after around and got lucky 958 00:45:15,760 --> 00:45:19,160 Speaker 1: he didn't lose this fight split decision. When you saw 959 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,120 Speaker 1: the frustrat he almost didn't understand afterwards didn't understand how 960 00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,120 Speaker 1: it could be that close, but also didn't understand how 961 00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 1: he couldn't dominate like he thought he could. This is 962 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 1: one of those we got lucky. Let's go back to 963 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,239 Speaker 1: the videotape and figure out the hell we did wrong here, 964 00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: because this this chip won't fly on the elite level, 965 00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,880 Speaker 1: and I think story is of the elite level. So 966 00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 1: he got he got lucky there, But the fight it blew. 967 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,560 Speaker 1: We thought it was gonna be one way traffic. It 968 00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,439 Speaker 1: was kind of a it's kind of you know, dead 969 00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:47,080 Speaker 1: end traffic. It was. It was stopped traffic in the end. 970 00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:50,520 Speaker 1: So it is what it is. Drink drink break, Okay, 971 00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:55,640 Speaker 1: tip your waitresses, all right, as we roll on here 972 00:45:56,160 --> 00:45:58,400 Speaker 1: and mentioned it's a big week for combat sports, we 973 00:45:58,520 --> 00:46:00,920 Speaker 1: know that coming in brothers. Of course, UFC is back 974 00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 1: this Saturday night. But the fight cart of the weekend 975 00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:06,080 Speaker 1: goes down Sunday night, showtime pay per view. It is 976 00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,600 Speaker 1: August twenty ninth on your calendar, and it is Jake 977 00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:10,440 Speaker 1: Paul am My sliding for the right reason here g 978 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,160 Speaker 1: there we go. Jake Paul three and zero is a 979 00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:17,600 Speaker 1: professional boxer trying to continue to win and prove that 980 00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,960 Speaker 1: he's legit. The screen went black? Is that on me? 981 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,640 Speaker 1: Or I believe with the satellite connection we're still together here. 982 00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 1: I'll just keep talking, all right, all right, we're having 983 00:46:29,080 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 1: some technical difficulties. You can still hear me though. Oh look, 984 00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:34,720 Speaker 1: it's Jake Paul. It's Tyrone Woodley, the former UFC Waltsway champion, 985 00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:37,600 Speaker 1: and it's a big fight in the realm showtime pay 986 00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 1: per view at Cleveland, Ohio in the bubble here that 987 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 1: has been built up by the Paul brothers and others 988 00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:47,759 Speaker 1: of celebrity crossover social media circus boxing. But the fun 989 00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,680 Speaker 1: part here is Jake Paul's not trying to be a 990 00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 1: circus anymore or a circus performer. Yes, he beat a 991 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,040 Speaker 1: YouTuber NBA retired guy who hadn't fought more than a day, 992 00:46:57,080 --> 00:46:59,799 Speaker 1: it seemed to Nate Robinson and then Ben Askrin's old 993 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:02,120 Speaker 1: hit sound to hell though, So you know it's what 994 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,960 Speaker 1: you have to do. But this is a fight where 995 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:07,640 Speaker 1: both guys can win. And we start off this fight week, 996 00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 1: which by the way, MK is gonna be there. We 997 00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:11,600 Speaker 1: are gonna ramp it up. Yes, we got an all 998 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,840 Speaker 1: star crew with everyone from you know Helwani to carne 999 00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:19,000 Speaker 1: Vall to AJ McKee on the call, Logan Paul joining 1000 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,759 Speaker 1: the broadcast. We've got a fun broadcast team on the 1001 00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:24,000 Speaker 1: TV and but digitally MK gonna hold it down this week. 1002 00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,719 Speaker 1: And I want to look at the storylines here as 1003 00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:27,400 Speaker 1: we kicked this week off, and I think the biggest 1004 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:30,640 Speaker 1: storyline for me, maybe not for everybody, but for me 1005 00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:33,800 Speaker 1: heading into this fight is just this to me is 1006 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,799 Speaker 1: what Circus carnival fights should be and could be. And 1007 00:47:36,840 --> 00:47:39,600 Speaker 1: I know again Jake, it has his own narrative of 1008 00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 1: trying to prove to us another chapter, another step up 1009 00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: the ladder that he is for real, and I expect 1010 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:46,440 Speaker 1: Woodley to make him have to prove that win or 1011 00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:49,879 Speaker 1: lose here. I think the bigger storyline for me still 1012 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,360 Speaker 1: is this bubble. This is the right type of matchmaking 1013 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:55,200 Speaker 1: to keep the bubble afloat, to keep it filled with air, 1014 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,240 Speaker 1: and it's it's maybe you know, it's a Showtime's fault 1015 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:02,000 Speaker 1: that Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather didn't have some type 1016 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,880 Speaker 1: of closure or climactic ending or anything but largely a 1017 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,279 Speaker 1: pawfest where Logan, to his credit for surviving, I think 1018 00:48:09,400 --> 00:48:11,279 Speaker 1: was trying to survive and prove that he can do 1019 00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:13,640 Speaker 1: certain things as a real boxer and not getting manhandled 1020 00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:15,680 Speaker 1: by an older, smaller fighter. And I think he proved 1021 00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: all that the problem is improving all that. It didn't 1022 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:21,920 Speaker 1: really have great success in there, So the entertainment factor 1023 00:48:21,960 --> 00:48:24,759 Speaker 1: wasn't a great success. And because that fight was a 1024 00:48:24,760 --> 00:48:26,399 Speaker 1: big deal and we played it up as a big 1025 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,480 Speaker 1: deal and Floyd coming back is a big deal, and 1026 00:48:28,520 --> 00:48:30,680 Speaker 1: it was a circus quality of ID just have to 1027 00:48:30,680 --> 00:48:33,359 Speaker 1: see what it looks like when it doesn't live up. 1028 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,640 Speaker 1: You know, people can go, well, what's left of this 1029 00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 1: revolution of the Paul brothers. You know, I think the 1030 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,759 Speaker 1: storyline for me is, you know, this is the type 1031 00:48:42,760 --> 00:48:46,120 Speaker 1: of fun matchmaking that this genre needs and will thrive on. 1032 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:50,560 Speaker 1: Two guys with name value but yet on paper really 1033 00:48:50,920 --> 00:48:55,360 Speaker 1: oddly compellingly perfect competition wise, you really don't know who's 1034 00:48:55,400 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 1: gonna win. Jake Paul's bigger. He's been focusing specifically on boxing, 1035 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 1: training and in putting it all going all in right, 1036 00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:03,919 Speaker 1: as they all acts to showed you. I mean, he's 1037 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 1: going for it. Everyone, even people that hate this, I 1038 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,640 Speaker 1: hate the Paul's are like that kid's trying though. He's 1039 00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 1: going for it. Against the Tyrone Woodley, who's yes, almost 1040 00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,360 Speaker 1: forty Yes, four straight losses are so in the UFC. 1041 00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 1: But a guy who can punch, a guy who can 1042 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:22,280 Speaker 1: still surge in explosive bursts, and you know the boxing 1043 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,400 Speaker 1: footage up to this point that we've seen the little 1044 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:27,200 Speaker 1: of it of Woodley, it looks kind of impressive. And 1045 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:29,359 Speaker 1: we know he's also training with the right people, did 1046 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:33,280 Speaker 1: some time with Floyd Mayweather has famed Cuban amateur trainer 1047 00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,440 Speaker 1: Pedro Diaz, who had a lot of success professionally with 1048 00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:39,560 Speaker 1: the Miguel Cotos, the Gamro Riggandhaus who's a defensive smart 1049 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:42,839 Speaker 1: boxing coach. Can all that rub off in one camp? 1050 00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,840 Speaker 1: I don't know. But the fact that we come in 1051 00:49:45,880 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 1: here not knowing who's gonna win, and that we can 1052 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,400 Speaker 1: almost guarantee it's gonna be a knockout, because if they 1053 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,520 Speaker 1: don't get it, they're probably gonna gas themselves out trying 1054 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:54,440 Speaker 1: for it. You kind of have that feeling right that 1055 00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:56,480 Speaker 1: Jake Paul has a lot to prove, but there's a 1056 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,000 Speaker 1: dangerous guy in front of him that we're gonna see action. 1057 00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,600 Speaker 1: Can it keep the bubble afloat? I think they kind 1058 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,360 Speaker 1: of need to bring it here, and I think they will, 1059 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,120 Speaker 1: and I think it will do wonders. Now, does Jake 1060 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 1: Ball need to win to keep this bubble going? It's 1061 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:11,759 Speaker 1: it's hard to say. What if they put on a 1062 00:50:11,840 --> 00:50:14,480 Speaker 1: great fight for what it is we're not expecting. I'm 1063 00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:19,360 Speaker 1: not expecting, you know, the Mayweather Paquil level of technical display. 1064 00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:21,480 Speaker 1: But if they put on a really good fight and 1065 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,480 Speaker 1: Jake loses, even if it gets stopped, could you do 1066 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,960 Speaker 1: a rematch? Of course you could do. You can do 1067 00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,160 Speaker 1: things to keep it going. But I think the best 1068 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: thing that will keep it going, certainly is just a 1069 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:31,279 Speaker 1: great fight in which both guys try to win and 1070 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,359 Speaker 1: are willing to risk it all to try to win. 1071 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: And that's I think what we should be asking of 1072 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:40,000 Speaker 1: those who are taking a chance and entering this celebrity boom. 1073 00:50:40,000 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 1: Whether that's aging old boxers like d la Hoya against 1074 00:50:43,200 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 1: Vitour Belfer coming up, or it's you know, YouTubers are 1075 00:50:46,360 --> 00:50:49,640 Speaker 1: opportunists here, celebrity wise, bring it. I mean, if you're 1076 00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,359 Speaker 1: gonna come and we're gonna care about you and make 1077 00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:55,879 Speaker 1: it part of our combat sports coverage and invest money 1078 00:50:55,880 --> 00:50:57,680 Speaker 1: and take mk on the road, you better come on 1079 00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,799 Speaker 1: and I think these two guys will come on because 1080 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 1: I think they will be close enough and they're matching, 1081 00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,200 Speaker 1: and I think that's what's interesting. I certainly think the 1082 00:51:05,239 --> 00:51:08,520 Speaker 1: Woodley storyline is an underplayed one here of you know, 1083 00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,879 Speaker 1: is he actually better than we think? And okay, it's 1084 00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:13,120 Speaker 1: it's just some video of him training, so what he 1085 00:51:13,160 --> 00:51:15,839 Speaker 1: doesn't look remedial as like when Logan first hit the bag, 1086 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:17,960 Speaker 1: We're like, wait, is that does that look like Connor 1087 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:20,160 Speaker 1: throwing his shoulders like Ronda or you know, swimming there 1088 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:24,400 Speaker 1: showing throwing the or is that real? Hey, Logan I 1089 00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:27,759 Speaker 1: thought exceeded expectations in the ring, although it kind of 1090 00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: killed the uh excitement of it. But uh, will Woodley 1091 00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,920 Speaker 1: do the same. I'm very interested to see that. I 1092 00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:34,839 Speaker 1: know he's gonna have the right hand. I alw he's 1093 00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,160 Speaker 1: gonna have an opportunity, you know, a chance to win 1094 00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:40,360 Speaker 1: this fight by knockout. But can't he be more than that? 1095 00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 1: Can't he out box Jake Paul? Because I think everyone 1096 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,799 Speaker 1: won this first was matched. We said two things. We said, 1097 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:47,440 Speaker 1: One this would be a banger, this one could be 1098 00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,319 Speaker 1: a knockout. And two, you know, I kind of like 1099 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:52,960 Speaker 1: Jake Paul's actual ability to box in terms of what 1100 00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,879 Speaker 1: I can imagine Woodley to be a little bit better. 1101 00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,880 Speaker 1: He is a big kid. He's bigger than Woodley. Naturally, 1102 00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,000 Speaker 1: he's got a decent jab. You know, That's the one 1103 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: thing about the Paul's when they do put the gloves on, 1104 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 1: take a pretty damn serious. That's I think why the 1105 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:06,279 Speaker 1: initial sort of thing when Eddie Hern and people were 1106 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,880 Speaker 1: getting involved in logan Paul versus KSI and putting this 1107 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,520 Speaker 1: on and it was on his own and all this, 1108 00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 1: It's like we came away going, do we want that 1109 00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: on a regular fight card mixed with real fights, kind 1110 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,520 Speaker 1: of taking away what would have been a big fight. No. 1111 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:22,880 Speaker 1: But I'm not going to disrespect their names because they 1112 00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,719 Speaker 1: are bringing it, they are trying. This is better than 1113 00:52:25,080 --> 00:52:28,200 Speaker 1: some celebrity shit we've seen in the past. I want 1114 00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,600 Speaker 1: to see if Woodley can give Jake a problem here. 1115 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,480 Speaker 1: It's going to be very interesting to see. I'm also 1116 00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:34,400 Speaker 1: interested to see, you know, in the homecoming here for 1117 00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,160 Speaker 1: the Paul Brothers in Cleveland will be on the ground. 1118 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 1: We'll be doing a live public workout MK hosting on Wednesday. 1119 00:52:39,560 --> 00:52:41,960 Speaker 1: Luke and I from an outdoor area we'll get to 1120 00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:43,920 Speaker 1: see the fighters up close, interview them, haven't seen him 1121 00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,560 Speaker 1: hit the pads, and you know all that stuff. And 1122 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:47,960 Speaker 1: I want to see what the public reaction here is 1123 00:52:48,160 --> 00:52:49,719 Speaker 1: the Paul's coming home here. I want to see who's 1124 00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, it's going to be all Paul fans in 1125 00:52:51,560 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 1: the arena that night. Will there be a why? Sometimes 1126 00:52:53,440 --> 00:52:57,640 Speaker 1: when you take boxing to a non traditional boxing hub, 1127 00:52:57,680 --> 00:53:00,560 Speaker 1: you can get lucky and get pleasantly surprised. When you know, 1128 00:53:00,719 --> 00:53:03,040 Speaker 1: Terence Crawford became a thing and Top Rank was taking 1129 00:53:03,080 --> 00:53:05,880 Speaker 1: him to Omaha, and you know, through the TV you 1130 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,880 Speaker 1: can hear that that's not a normal boxing crowd. Like 1131 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,319 Speaker 1: this crowd's going ape shit, like they're they're into this, 1132 00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,960 Speaker 1: you know. And I want to see that passion. I 1133 00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:14,319 Speaker 1: want to see if we can get that. But uh, 1134 00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun, It's gonna be wild. There's certainly 1135 00:53:18,200 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 1: no shortage of story. I want to see that robot. 1136 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,040 Speaker 1: Apparently there's a real man inside that robot. All right, 1137 00:53:23,080 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 1: it's probably he's probably a real sweaty man, but uh, 1138 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:27,040 Speaker 1: I want to see more of that robot. I don't know. 1139 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,800 Speaker 1: It's just like you ever walk into Stu Leonards you 1140 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:31,279 Speaker 1: know that grocery store. You can try a out of 1141 00:53:31,280 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 1: the samples and stuff they got, Like that farmer guy 1142 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,399 Speaker 1: and he's on like the gymnastics trapeze thing and he's 1143 00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 1: just flipping over and over again, and you're sitting there 1144 00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,800 Speaker 1: eating your free sample, and you're just like, you know, 1145 00:53:42,840 --> 00:53:44,480 Speaker 1: I could, I could. I could watch this for like 1146 00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,080 Speaker 1: at least an hour without being you know, without being 1147 00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:48,600 Speaker 1: too bored. And you look over and there's a baby 1148 00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: in a in like a carrier doing the same thing. 1149 00:53:51,239 --> 00:53:54,239 Speaker 1: You're like, good, it's good ship. I mean, it's not bad. 1150 00:53:54,320 --> 00:53:57,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's not bad. You know. I don't really 1151 00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: know what I was trying to compare that story to 1152 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:00,600 Speaker 1: In the long run. I think I lost myself in 1153 00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:03,319 Speaker 1: it and I tripped and fell, but hopefully you came 1154 00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:05,640 Speaker 1: in with me and you were okay in there. So yeah, 1155 00:54:05,680 --> 00:54:08,800 Speaker 1: that's the story heading in there. Interesting undercard too, Tommy Fury. 1156 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,840 Speaker 1: Could he be a future Jake Paul opponent. He'll be 1157 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:13,520 Speaker 1: in there against Taylor. Anthony Taylor, I believe this is 1158 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: his name, who is in the Paul training camp. Has 1159 00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,279 Speaker 1: had some bellator fights that should be fun. We've got 1160 00:54:18,320 --> 00:54:19,759 Speaker 1: some real fights mixed in here. I want to see 1161 00:54:19,760 --> 00:54:24,080 Speaker 1: Amanda Serrano, who doesn't get the attention and you know, 1162 00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 1: and the applause she deserves for being one of the 1163 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,520 Speaker 1: Powfu palm best women's fighters in the game today. Katie 1164 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 1: Taylor Clarista shields and Amanda Serrano in my eyes, so 1165 00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,879 Speaker 1: be good to see her get that comine event shine. 1166 00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:39,680 Speaker 1: We got Ivan Baranchick, who is fun as shit.

Let's do it 1213 00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:05,080 Speaker 1: all right. At Greg Leach ninety nine as our first one, 1214 00:57:05,120 --> 00:57:07,560 Speaker 1: a regular contributor to these dms, he says, given the 1215 00:57:07,560 --> 00:57:10,920 Speaker 1: current trajectory of both careers, how likely is it that 1216 00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,920 Speaker 1: we ever get to see Econor McGregor versus Manny Pacio 1217 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 1: boxing match? If this were to occur, who would you favor? 1218 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:21,480 Speaker 1: And for what reasons? I think this big fight? If 1219 00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: you ask me like, what's the next big fight for 1220 00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,920 Speaker 1: Manny again? It could be him coming back against like 1221 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:29,120 Speaker 1: an Amir Khan, which would be a soft sort of 1222 00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:31,160 Speaker 1: bounce back fight because of a mir Kan's chin. But 1223 00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:33,720 Speaker 1: con still got the name value and flashy hands and 1224 00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:35,760 Speaker 1: you can sell that and many will win by knockout, 1225 00:57:36,320 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 1: or Manny can just make a decision at some point 1226 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 1: the next year they're like, no, I'm not done. I'm 1227 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:42,200 Speaker 1: gonna come back and you can find anybody wants. That's 1228 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 1: the power of Manny Pacayo. But why are we likely 1229 00:57:45,160 --> 00:57:49,640 Speaker 1: to see this in my eyes sooner than later? Because yes, 1230 00:57:50,440 --> 00:57:54,320 Speaker 1: even though I liked the bde and the despicable nature, 1231 00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:55,560 Speaker 1: even though I didn't like some of the words of 1232 00:57:55,560 --> 00:57:57,320 Speaker 1: course he said, or the tweets afterwards, but I like 1233 00:57:57,400 --> 00:58:01,120 Speaker 1: that McGregor came back rabid for the trilogy against Pourier 1234 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,000 Speaker 1: and it was like win at all costs, no matter what. 1235 00:58:03,040 --> 00:58:05,120 Speaker 1: He didn't win, and he's gonna got an injury that's 1236 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,200 Speaker 1: gonna sit him out for a while. And but as 1237 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:09,400 Speaker 1: the days go on, as the time takes, maybe it's 1238 00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:13,440 Speaker 1: it's a reaction to Connor's ability maybe or his perform 1239 00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,000 Speaker 1: not his ability. Sorry, his behavior. Maybe maybe his behavior 1240 00:58:16,040 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: on social media every day is making me sober up 1241 00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:20,800 Speaker 1: more and more to the you know what, I think 1242 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,040 Speaker 1: Connor's an older version himself, but he's still he's still viable, 1243 00:58:24,080 --> 00:58:27,520 Speaker 1: he's still dangerous. You know, you really think about that 1244 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 1: injury and the recovery and how much he's gonna have 1245 00:58:29,600 --> 00:58:32,160 Speaker 1: to prove and talk about him going to Welser way. 1246 00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:36,680 Speaker 1: I mean unless he's very carefully matched and he doesn't 1247 00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:39,480 Speaker 1: do that. He's a big time opportunist, opportunist and you 1248 00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,480 Speaker 1: really can't get by the way except for him when 1249 00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:43,840 Speaker 1: you're on his level. If you want to like the 1250 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:46,240 Speaker 1: Cowboys surrounning one, you really can't get soft come back 1251 00:58:46,280 --> 00:58:47,760 Speaker 1: his fights, and if you do, you can get like 1252 00:58:47,760 --> 00:58:49,640 Speaker 1: two in a row. That's why Dana was like, hell, no, 1253 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,040 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let you fight Diego Sanchez next. Come on, bro, 1254 00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:56,040 Speaker 1: can't do that. I think Connor's more likely to lose 1255 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: these big matchups and win, of course, and I think 1256 00:58:58,040 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 1: that there will call my point. I don't know if 1257 00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:01,479 Speaker 1: it's one loss, I don't know if it's two more. 1258 00:59:01,720 --> 00:59:03,120 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a loss and a bounce 1259 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,520 Speaker 1: back and win and then a big loss, but sooner 1260 00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:08,200 Speaker 1: than later, I think Connor's going to be looking elsewhere. 1261 00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:12,520 Speaker 1: And I think he still has a viability in crossover 1262 00:59:12,560 --> 00:59:14,760 Speaker 1: boxing with the name and people wanting to see him 1263 00:59:14,760 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 1: get knocked out, and the credibility at least from his 1264 00:59:17,520 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 1: performance against Mayweather, where again he wasn't handled their jobbed 1265 00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 1: in the long run, he ran out of gas and 1266 00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:23,840 Speaker 1: he was walked down and he was stopped. Yes, but 1267 00:59:24,400 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 1: you know this, that was far from embarrassing, Like you know, 1268 00:59:27,200 --> 00:59:30,480 Speaker 1: he looked like he could almost kind of belong in 1269 00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,080 Speaker 1: this game if he committed to it. I don't think 1270 00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:33,160 Speaker 1: he's going to commit to it. I don't think he 1271 00:59:33,160 --> 00:59:34,840 Speaker 1: should commit to it. But can he come back in 1272 00:59:34,880 --> 00:59:38,000 Speaker 1: a big many Patio, of course, And if it comes 1273 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,400 Speaker 1: two years from now, where Pacio's a little bit older 1274 00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,600 Speaker 1: but still kind of not retired, right, he's not active, 1275 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,960 Speaker 1: but he's sort of looking at his options, it's very 1276 00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,520 Speaker 1: likely that these two are going to box. And I 1277 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:54,360 Speaker 1: think it's very likely unless Manny gets really old, that 1278 00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:56,600 Speaker 1: Manny Patio is gonna win by knockout when they do fight, 1279 00:59:57,040 --> 01:00:00,400 Speaker 1: And maybe the longer it takes to get there, the 1280 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,360 Speaker 1: more chances Connor will have in our in our minds 1281 01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:05,040 Speaker 1: coming in or maybe not, or maybe he will have 1282 01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,600 Speaker 1: suffered some more tough losses. I mean, we're at the 1283 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 1: point now where Connor at Although he got stopped by Porie. 1284 01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:13,000 Speaker 1: Yes he did get stop by Pory in the second fight, 1285 01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,440 Speaker 1: but it wasn't like he got out cold, you know 1286 01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,840 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like he was stopped, but it wasn't 1287 01:00:18,840 --> 01:00:23,080 Speaker 1: like a horrifically damaging one. The second he starts taking 1288 01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:25,600 Speaker 1: horrifically damaging like second that he starts getting chuck laedel. 1289 01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,440 Speaker 1: If that's gonna happen, dude, he's gone and he's gone 1290 01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:32,640 Speaker 1: into boxing because he's not gonna risk killing that boxing crossover. 1291 01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:34,320 Speaker 1: But it's like a lottery ticket, like an Ideas fight 1292 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,320 Speaker 1: has been a lottery ticket in his back pocket if 1293 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:39,400 Speaker 1: he wants or needs it. Won't be getting up an 1294 01:00:39,400 --> 01:00:41,560 Speaker 1: Ideas trilogy territory now because I think he needs it. 1295 01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,560 Speaker 1: But he's gonna be in boxing soon and he's not 1296 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,240 Speaker 1: get knocked up by Manny Pakiao, but it'll be a 1297 01:00:46,280 --> 01:00:49,040 Speaker 1: big event and it will kind of revive their brands 1298 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:50,760 Speaker 1: for the moment of what's left of it or what's 1299 01:00:50,800 --> 01:00:53,439 Speaker 1: worth in that. But that that's the deal. Greg Leach, 1300 01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 1: thank you for trying us here at flannels in JITs 1301 01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,560 Speaker 1: with Kayla Harrison performance at PFL unless Thursday. What fights 1302 01:01:05,600 --> 01:01:07,680 Speaker 1: would you like to see next? Well, she just she's 1303 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,680 Speaker 1: won her semi final bout, so next she'll be in 1304 01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 1: there in the finals of the women's lightweight division in 1305 01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:16,600 Speaker 1: October against Taylor Gardado. And there's just not a path 1306 01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:18,600 Speaker 1: to victory for Taylor at this point. And I'm serious 1307 01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:20,960 Speaker 1: about this outside of you know, some you know cut 1308 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:24,960 Speaker 1: or some something freaky hair. So what's next. I talked 1309 01:01:25,000 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: about that in the last show Friday show about what 1310 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:30,560 Speaker 1: I think PFL would have to do to keep her 1311 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: first and foremost life changing money. Yes, like she asked for, Yes, 1312 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: you have to, but I do believe you have to 1313 01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:39,200 Speaker 1: set the path. If your PFL begin the ground rumbling, 1314 01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:41,439 Speaker 1: set the stage for her to have a super fight 1315 01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:46,360 Speaker 1: that she deserves. I think it's easier potentially unless she 1316 01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:47,840 Speaker 1: just wakes up and says, you know what, I want 1317 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:49,320 Speaker 1: to go to the UFC. Now, if she wants to 1318 01:01:49,360 --> 01:01:51,360 Speaker 1: do that, they'll pay her. She'll go there, and she 1319 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:53,520 Speaker 1: could end up fighting Amanda Newness at one forty five 1320 01:01:53,520 --> 01:01:56,840 Speaker 1: and it will be a major deal, but I feel 1321 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,960 Speaker 1: like you build to that, and I feel like it 1322 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,360 Speaker 1: might be smarter for her in different ways to build play. 1323 01:02:01,400 --> 01:02:04,680 Speaker 1: She could probably make more money in the short term potentially. Now. 1324 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,040 Speaker 1: I don't know pfl's books. I know they have a 1325 01:02:06,040 --> 01:02:07,920 Speaker 1: lot of celebrity investors. Though I know they got the 1326 01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:10,200 Speaker 1: ESPN deal, I know they could be looking for a 1327 01:02:10,320 --> 01:02:13,000 Speaker 1: different deal elsewhere in a year for from little things 1328 01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:16,320 Speaker 1: you hear. If they want to invest in her and 1329 01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: put money behind her, then you got to try to 1330 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,600 Speaker 1: set up some type of cross fight with a cyborg 1331 01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:22,520 Speaker 1: from BELAITORI and again, could it be a home and 1332 01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:24,600 Speaker 1: home series, could it be a pay per view with 1333 01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,280 Speaker 1: both promotions. I don't know what that's going to look like, 1334 01:02:26,320 --> 01:02:29,040 Speaker 1: but I do know that we've seen some things lately 1335 01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,760 Speaker 1: that that suggests is no impossible. And those things are 1336 01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:35,280 Speaker 1: everything from the freaking ben Askrin DJ trade which involved 1337 01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,919 Speaker 1: the UFC which was wild, to just you know, I mean, 1338 01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,600 Speaker 1: Belator doing things with Risin and stuff. I don't think 1339 01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:42,360 Speaker 1: it's impossible, but I think you have to have that 1340 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,080 Speaker 1: when you you know, when you sign her, that's got 1341 01:02:45,120 --> 01:02:46,240 Speaker 1: to be there. It's got to we got to be 1342 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:47,920 Speaker 1: ready to go. We have to have a plan to 1343 01:02:47,920 --> 01:02:54,000 Speaker 1: get there, okay, and short of Cyborg, you know, I 1344 01:02:54,000 --> 01:02:56,400 Speaker 1: don't want to see her against Clarissa Shields. Neither does 1345 01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,000 Speaker 1: she nowither should Clarissa. Clissa's got a long road down 1346 01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:00,760 Speaker 1: her own path, and she'll be back soon, which would 1347 01:03:00,760 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 1: be fun to see. I really liked her first performance. 1348 01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:05,360 Speaker 1: You know, there's certainly some bad, but a lot of 1349 01:03:05,400 --> 01:03:09,880 Speaker 1: like wow. Okay, But you know, I think also pfl 1350 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:12,120 Speaker 1: as I mentioned on Friday, they gotta get They gotta 1351 01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 1: try to get some names here, whether it's fifty five 1352 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 1: if they keep that going next year, or whether Kaylea 1353 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:18,840 Speaker 1: would decide to try a season at one forty five 1354 01:03:18,840 --> 01:03:21,240 Speaker 1: and she really would have known reason too unless there 1355 01:03:21,240 --> 01:03:24,360 Speaker 1: was a lot of money involved, I think. But they 1356 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:26,040 Speaker 1: have to get people, Megan Anderson, they have to get people. 1357 01:03:26,040 --> 01:03:27,480 Speaker 1: They get people you know about, you care about that 1358 01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,400 Speaker 1: you can imagine in an interesting fight with Kayla what 1359 01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:33,040 Speaker 1: they have now. I don't think it's gonna run for 1360 01:03:33,040 --> 01:03:35,120 Speaker 1: next year unless they're just gonna straight up pay her 1361 01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:37,320 Speaker 1: and be like, I'm gonna make it worth it for 1362 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:39,520 Speaker 1: you be in the face of our franchise, cume, win 1363 01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,120 Speaker 1: our season. I'd like to see he against Luresa Pacheco 1364 01:03:42,160 --> 01:03:44,520 Speaker 1: a third time. I like the power of Pacheco. Okay, 1365 01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:46,880 Speaker 1: she's gotta make weight though it's a tough training camp 1366 01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 1: for Let's keep this going at Moneyman Underscore fifty three. 1367 01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:55,760 Speaker 1: All right, why do you think Habib is talking bad 1368 01:03:55,880 --> 01:04:00,160 Speaker 1: about Josie? Although this was surprising because, like, let's be fair, 1369 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:04,200 Speaker 1: Kabib's a really good dude. Like I mean, there's a 1370 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,840 Speaker 1: lot of good with the goodwill of Pacquiao and you know, 1371 01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:10,000 Speaker 1: boxing fans and journalists, it's like hard to say bad 1372 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,160 Speaker 1: things about him. Okay, Okay, you can, like just like 1373 01:04:12,520 --> 01:04:14,520 Speaker 1: political decisions he's made, he doesn't have the best human 1374 01:04:14,600 --> 01:04:16,560 Speaker 1: rights record and all that, but you know, he's charitable. 1375 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:19,640 Speaker 1: He's a great, great dude, good family guy. Habib has 1376 01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:21,680 Speaker 1: really shown us that, like he stands by his word. 1377 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 1: He's a good dude, and he doesn't seem to go 1378 01:04:23,600 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 1: after people unless they go after him first. I don't 1379 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,200 Speaker 1: know the origin of this. I didn't really actually read 1380 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 1: too deep into the story, although I know the headline 1381 01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,120 Speaker 1: in reference I did. I did sort of you know, 1382 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:37,040 Speaker 1: sniff that and check it out quick. I have to 1383 01:04:37,080 --> 01:04:39,840 Speaker 1: believe that somewhere along the line, jose said something negative 1384 01:04:39,840 --> 01:04:42,040 Speaker 1: about uh Habib and he just banked it and it 1385 01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,680 Speaker 1: just came out because it did seem sort of like 1386 01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 1: like the question was about Jose, but it wasn't set 1387 01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:48,440 Speaker 1: up at all for this to happen, right. It was 1388 01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,600 Speaker 1: like Habiba's were like, oh, hold on, while I'm here, Okay, 1389 01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:54,360 Speaker 1: while I'm here, can I just pull my pants down 1390 01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:56,120 Speaker 1: quick and just drop a deuce right now on top 1391 01:04:56,160 --> 01:04:59,080 Speaker 1: of him? It's interesting, you know, it's it's it's it's 1392 01:04:59,160 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a legend, non limit legend crime. 1393 01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:04,600 Speaker 1: And I know people saw that I don't put Jose 1394 01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: at the upper table. Josey's great. I love Jose. You 1395 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,400 Speaker 1: gotta have standards, right, Not everybody can get in. That's 1396 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,880 Speaker 1: the thing. That's the thing, the thing that the NBA 1397 01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,560 Speaker 1: doesn't do by not having their own hall of fame, 1398 01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 1: by being connected with the Nationsmith pro or not pro 1399 01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 1: the Nation Smith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. It's like 1400 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:21,919 Speaker 1: people in the NBA get in on the same level 1401 01:05:21,960 --> 01:05:24,400 Speaker 1: as like, you know, women's college and high school coaches. 1402 01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:27,360 Speaker 1: It's just there's no like true hard line was the 1403 01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:29,360 Speaker 1: only Hall of fame putting in that hard line Baseball 1404 01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:33,080 Speaker 1: maybe pro football to a large to a decent degree. 1405 01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:36,040 Speaker 1: Boxing for the most part. For the most part, boxing 1406 01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:37,880 Speaker 1: hall of Fame is pretty pretty solid. Now. I like 1407 01:05:37,880 --> 01:05:39,760 Speaker 1: one hall of fame. I like when a Don Maggley 1408 01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,760 Speaker 1: can't get in even though in pockets he was freaking great, great, 1409 01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,320 Speaker 1: but I had the back injuries. He wasn't able to 1410 01:05:46,360 --> 01:05:47,840 Speaker 1: sustain it. Well, he get in one day on some 1411 01:05:47,880 --> 01:05:49,480 Speaker 1: old guys vote yeah, probably, and then it will be 1412 01:05:49,480 --> 01:05:51,959 Speaker 1: awesome and we'll say, yeah, man, you deserved it all along. Bro. 1413 01:05:53,480 --> 01:05:55,040 Speaker 1: I like it that there's standards, so I like that 1414 01:05:55,040 --> 01:05:56,600 Speaker 1: there's a line that there's people that you have to 1415 01:05:56,600 --> 01:05:59,200 Speaker 1: put below it. Jose also's not on that upper table. 1416 01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,480 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's my So it's me and Hbeeb Dropp 1417 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:02,960 Speaker 1: induces on them.

Would it be like two million 1457 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 1: dollars for you to play the poop. I just don't 1458 01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:06,000 Speaker 1: crack for stuff like that. Like, I'm not I'm not 1459 01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:09,760 Speaker 1: gonna compromise. I do have some limits. People.

Just 1463 01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:19,760 Speaker 1: just you know, just a walking critic of all things BC. 1464 01:08:20,720 --> 01:08:22,880 Speaker 1: She does come back. I bet she's watching the Solo 1465 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:27,920 Speaker 1: show right now. She watching because she misses Luke, or 1466 01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 1: she watching because BC's holding the ship down. That's that's 1467 01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,080 Speaker 1: my question to use snarky ginger. But you know, people 1468 01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:36,200 Speaker 1: can be very critical of BC.

More people 1515 01:10:48,479 --> 01:10:50,960 Speaker 1: were fans of hers than fans of Jesse from Saved 1516 01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,559 Speaker 1: by the Belts. It's no crime in saying that. It's 1517 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:57,719 Speaker 1: also a shitty movie, like a really shamelessly shitty movie 1518 01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:01,760 Speaker 1: that rightfully won all of those Razzie awards despite those 1519 01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:03,479 Speaker 1: are Yeah, those are the words for the movies that suck, 1520 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 1: despite it delivering upon the reason why we all went 1521 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,080 Speaker 1: to the theater to see that in nineteen ninety five. 1522 01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,160 Speaker 1: Would it have ruined her career? Yeah, you're damn right. 1523 01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,519 Speaker 1: It would have ruined her career, and rightfully so. I 1524 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,040 Speaker 1: mean Look, can we give Elizabeth Berkeley credit that she 1525 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,800 Speaker 1: I mean, she hasn't brought the legitimacy back full circle. 1526 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:25,080 Speaker 1: She hasn't had an incredible act acting career after that. No, 1527 01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:27,160 Speaker 1: she's had some moments, and you know, she had ended 1528 01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,920 Speaker 1: up doing the the stay by the Bell rebirth route 1529 01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:33,320 Speaker 1: to you know, maybe stay careatively satisfied and get money 1530 01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,439 Speaker 1: and stay relevant. And you know, I don't, I don't. 1531 01:11:35,600 --> 01:11:38,680 Speaker 1: I'm not against anybody doing something nostalgic to cash in 1532 01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:40,200 Speaker 1: and try it one more time. And you're seeing that 1533 01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:42,240 Speaker 1: a lot in the streaming era. Now that it's happening. 1534 01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:43,880 Speaker 1: It's fun, it's it's it's I mean, it can be 1535 01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: done really well like Cobrakai, or it can be done 1536 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:50,880 Speaker 1: really bad. But would Tiffany Ambertheeston have had the same 1537 01:11:52,320 --> 01:11:54,800 Speaker 1: stink on her? Yeah, yeah, she would have. And to 1538 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,240 Speaker 1: be honest, she hasn't had an incredible career. She had 1539 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,439 Speaker 1: some good stops along the way, some decent ones, you know, both, 1540 01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:03,880 Speaker 1: you know, in sitcom type stuff or in hosting. But 1541 01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:10,400 Speaker 1: you can't really lose that stain. You know, it's like 1542 01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:14,160 Speaker 1: the back before it was now different, but back like 1543 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,160 Speaker 1: in the eighties or early nineties, if you were like 1544 01:12:16,160 --> 01:12:18,640 Speaker 1: an NFL prospect or somebody and you got caught with 1545 01:12:18,680 --> 01:12:20,800 Speaker 1: weed before the draft, like for like a Warren Sap, 1546 01:12:20,880 --> 01:12:23,800 Speaker 1: It's like a stigma that hung over you. Back then. 1547 01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:25,519 Speaker 1: We were, you know, a little bit different in how 1548 01:12:25,560 --> 01:12:32,360 Speaker 1: we received that and be a hell of a stigma. Yeah, 1549 01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:35,240 Speaker 1: it's it's you asked it, all right, I had to answer. 1550 01:12:35,320 --> 01:12:39,759 Speaker 1: All right, all right, those are your your dms from Donks. 1551 01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:41,600 Speaker 1: Maybe BC will do a Tuesday live chat one of 1552 01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,800 Speaker 1: these days. Maybe if you guys want me to be there, 1553 01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:44,920 Speaker 1: I'll be there. You know what I'm saying. They had 1554 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,920 Speaker 1: to pull me off of it on Friday, Okay, I 1555 01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,519 Speaker 1: mean I was. I'm in his zone right as a 1556 01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:52,280 Speaker 1: as what he said in what man canstump, I'm in 1557 01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: a fucking zone. Okay, you're gonna have to you have 1558 01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:56,559 Speaker 1: to take me from that. That's why I'm willing to 1559 01:12:56,560 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: get into fistfights during adult rec league basketball. But I 1560 01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: won't fight anywhere. Okay, it's my battlefield, all right. This 1561 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:07,679 Speaker 1: ain't Bethel, this wharf mental warfare out here on the court, 1562 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,120 Speaker 1: all right. I need to be a savage between these 1563 01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,080 Speaker 1: lines on the basketball court. So I'm not a savage 1564 01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:15,400 Speaker 1: outside that door. Maybe the same as when the camera 1565 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:18,840 Speaker 1: turns on. Okay, maybe this prevents me from having to 1566 01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,280 Speaker 1: be a savage in real life. What I'm doing right 1567 01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 1: now in front of this camera is savage. Okay, let's 1568 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,080 Speaker 1: keep the savage regoing. We have a segment every Monday 1569 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:29,360 Speaker 1: where I grab really ridiculous videos from around the world, 1570 01:13:29,439 --> 01:13:31,519 Speaker 1: the highs and lows, the good and ugly, all that 1571 01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 1: and the in between of combat sports and beyond.

Yeah, it's gonna be me throwing to the videos. 1576 01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:52,280 Speaker 1: So let's start at PBC on Fox pay per View 1577 01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:56,320 Speaker 1: from Las Vegas on the undercart unbeaten featherweight prospect Mark 1578 01:13:56,560 --> 01:13:59,600 Speaker 1: Magsaoh he's a disciple of Pack. Yeah, he trains with 1579 01:13:59,600 --> 01:14:02,880 Speaker 1: Freddie Roach. He was down on all three scorecards against 1580 01:14:02,920 --> 01:14:07,320 Speaker 1: Julio Saha, but look at the out cold two punch 1581 01:14:07,400 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 1: finish in round ten. This showed a lot from Maxo, 1582 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,280 Speaker 1: who had moments. Both fighters were knocked down and got 1583 01:14:13,360 --> 01:14:15,519 Speaker 1: up off the canvas and the fifth round, Maxalo got 1584 01:14:15,560 --> 01:14:17,320 Speaker 1: hit with a body shot. He took a knee, but 1585 01:14:17,360 --> 01:14:19,120 Speaker 1: for him to get up and find out later he's 1586 01:14:19,120 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: down on the cards against an aggressive veteran in Seha 1587 01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:24,280 Speaker 1: and deliver that boom. I don't want to say he 1588 01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:28,080 Speaker 1: saved his career, but you know he saved that that 1589 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,559 Speaker 1: buzz you get from being an unbeaten fighter who doesn't 1590 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:32,200 Speaker 1: know how to lose. This was a big moment that 1591 01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:34,559 Speaker 1: will elevate him to a higher level. Keep your eye 1592 01:14:34,560 --> 01:14:37,599 Speaker 1: on Mark Magxao. It wasn't a flawless performance by any means, 1593 01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:39,599 Speaker 1: but that was a tough out in Julio Saha and 1594 01:14:39,720 --> 01:14:41,479 Speaker 1: look at that he knocked him out with the first one. 1595 01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:43,599 Speaker 1: The second one was just gravy. Kenny Baylist didn't get 1596 01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:45,960 Speaker 1: there in time. Wow, all right, let's keep it going. 1597 01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:48,320 Speaker 1: UFC Fight Night.

The 1760 01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:49,439 Speaker 1: big reveal if to the main event was Brock Lesner's back. 1761 01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,040 Speaker 1: He tore up John Cena, he stared down Roman Reigns, 1762 01:23:53,960 --> 01:23:56,679 Speaker 1: and he kind of dressed like an onion, which makes 1763 01:23:56,720 --> 01:24:00,120 Speaker 1: this tweet hilarious. I asked for our producer gaff before, 1764 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:02,360 Speaker 1: is this I can't figure it out because you know 1765 01:24:02,400 --> 01:24:04,680 Speaker 1: I love me some bearded Brock. When Brock had that 1766 01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:06,120 Speaker 1: beard against Kane the last week, it was like he 1767 01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,240 Speaker 1: wasted a great freaking hair knight on a really unfortunately 1768 01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,599 Speaker 1: bad performance in which he was stopped and cut open 1769 01:24:11,640 --> 01:24:13,840 Speaker 1: and all that. Just like Felix Trindad. Look it up. 1770 01:24:13,960 --> 01:24:16,760 Speaker 1: The hair he had against Winky Wright. He wasted a 1771 01:24:16,840 --> 01:24:20,840 Speaker 1: great hair night in a twelve round shutout loss. I 1772 01:24:20,880 --> 01:24:24,040 Speaker 1: couldn't figure out if this was cool and I'm just 1773 01:24:24,560 --> 01:24:26,920 Speaker 1: like too washed, or if this was a little bit 1774 01:24:27,120 --> 01:24:29,759 Speaker 1: of a cry for help trying too hard. Gaff Our producer, 1775 01:24:31,080 --> 01:24:33,000 Speaker 1: I think he nailed it is this is Brock trying 1776 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: too hard. But you know, Brock can look any way 1777 01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:38,840 Speaker 1: he wants to this guy makes a lot of freaking money. 1778 01:24:39,200 --> 01:24:41,160 Speaker 1: His fricking jacked and you know he hangs out on 1779 01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:42,599 Speaker 1: the farm all day. He could do whatever he wants. 1780 01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:44,880 Speaker 1: So he's back. He's back for the big time money. 1781 01:24:45,040 --> 01:24:47,000 Speaker 1: More on the rastling shit to close the show. If 1782 01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:49,160 Speaker 1: you're into that, all right, thank you, brock. Let's keep 1783 01:24:49,160 --> 01:24:52,240 Speaker 1: the ridiculousness flowing. Let's have our big catches of the week. 1784 01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,880 Speaker 1: I'm not a big fisherman or a fishing fan. Well, 1785 01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:57,680 Speaker 1: look at w BO welterweight champion Terrence Crawford with the 1786 01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:03,040 Speaker 1: caffish brother.

That is 1844 01:27:48,320 --> 01:27:52,760 Speaker 1: some good shit right there. Unfortunately, though, talk about the addictions. 1845 01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,800 Speaker 1: You know, BC's been protecting this liver. Maybe maybe a 1846 01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:59,280 Speaker 1: little bit too much snacking after eight o'clock lately, maybe 1847 01:27:59,320 --> 01:28:02,000 Speaker 1: too much carb and snacky, but BC's avoided the beef, 1848 01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:05,639 Speaker 1: the pork, the fast food, the grease, the bread and chicken. 1849 01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,639 Speaker 1: I'm really a lot of fish in my life.

Your BOYBC was a pro wrestling 1870 01:29:10,400 --> 01:29:12,640 Speaker 1: fan for a lot of my life. Twenty sixteen, I 1871 01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,320 Speaker 1: got into the journalism game. I pushed hard to get 1872 01:29:15,720 --> 01:29:18,240 Speaker 1: a pro wrestling page on ESPN dot Com. I was 1873 01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,799 Speaker 1: part of that movement. I took my talents to CBS Sports. 1874 01:29:20,840 --> 01:29:23,680 Speaker 1: The next year, I was on the ESPNCHPT pod. I 1875 01:29:23,720 --> 01:29:26,559 Speaker 1: had my own wrestling pod, the end this corner, which 1876 01:29:26,600 --> 01:29:30,559 Speaker 1: became the state of combat. But you know what pro 1877 01:29:30,560 --> 01:29:33,679 Speaker 1: wrestling warm me out. I've been watching week to week 1878 01:29:33,720 --> 01:29:35,800 Speaker 1: and over a year. I blame Vince mcmah, I really do. 1879 01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:40,760 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I blame I feel like the with WWE 1880 01:29:40,920 --> 01:29:44,400 Speaker 1: playing the role of lead like the UFC does in MMA, 1881 01:29:46,160 --> 01:29:50,200 Speaker 1: just an under utilization of assets, a lack of adaption 1882 01:29:50,400 --> 01:29:53,800 Speaker 1: to today's booking and match style and storytelling, just a 1883 01:29:53,800 --> 01:29:56,600 Speaker 1: lot of corporate bullshit. And it drove me away like 1884 01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,000 Speaker 1: it's drove away a lot of others. And I stayed 1885 01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,280 Speaker 1: watching AW here and there, and I love and respect 1886 01:30:02,320 --> 01:30:04,519 Speaker 1: what they do. And if you haven't been following me 1887 01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:08,640 Speaker 1: from the beginning, I spoke a lot in twenty fifteen 1888 01:30:08,680 --> 01:30:12,599 Speaker 1: and sixteen and seventeen when NJPW and Japan New Japan 1889 01:30:12,600 --> 01:30:15,559 Speaker 1: Pro Wrestling and Kenny Omega and Kazusko Okada and they 1890 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 1: started changing the game with the quality of matches you 1891 01:30:19,160 --> 01:30:21,800 Speaker 1: can have in pro wrestling and the deep rooted storytelling. 1892 01:30:22,120 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 1: And you play that with the indies getting the close 1893 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:28,200 Speaker 1: up they did during those years and NXT really underneath 1894 01:30:28,240 --> 01:30:32,280 Speaker 1: the ww hood, Paul Lavek, TRIPLEH and company turning NXT 1895 01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,479 Speaker 1: into sort of an indie All Star Classic, and you know, 1896 01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:38,599 Speaker 1: wrestling was back in WW proper had a couple good 1897 01:30:38,680 --> 01:30:41,320 Speaker 1: years in there, twenty sixteen especially. It was fun doing 1898 01:30:41,360 --> 01:30:44,840 Speaker 1: podcasting in those days, twenty seventeen even. But you know, 1899 01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,280 Speaker 1: when I felt that after that Japan launch, after the 1900 01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:51,600 Speaker 1: indies took off, you could create a second league, you 1901 01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,240 Speaker 1: could create a second power. Now they did with AEW. 1902 01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:56,200 Speaker 1: Was it the exact vision of what I thought it 1903 01:30:56,240 --> 01:31:00,160 Speaker 1: could be? Not? At first it didn't. Hin know, Well, 1904 01:31:01,360 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 1: in the end, it's a mixture of everything that's good 1905 01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:06,479 Speaker 1: in wrestling today. AW. It's the throwback to the to 1906 01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:09,960 Speaker 1: the eighties territory area of the of NWA and WCW. 1907 01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:12,600 Speaker 1: It's the you know, a platform for the indies and 1908 01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:15,960 Speaker 1: it's but it's also the traditional big man style mixed 1909 01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:18,479 Speaker 1: in as you have some WWE people you know who 1910 01:31:18,479 --> 01:31:20,840 Speaker 1: have started it, you know, Cody Rhodes and company. And 1911 01:31:20,920 --> 01:31:23,320 Speaker 1: I thought AEW has been really good since the launch, 1912 01:31:23,760 --> 01:31:26,400 Speaker 1: but I felt like it didn't go the next level 1913 01:31:26,520 --> 01:31:28,439 Speaker 1: yet to create what I thought was going to be 1914 01:31:28,479 --> 01:31:32,360 Speaker 1: a revolution. And I think what happened Friday night at 1915 01:31:32,439 --> 01:31:36,280 Speaker 1: AW Rampage that was widely predicted and speculated going to 1916 01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,559 Speaker 1: Chicago for an episode same thing as Summer Slam weekend 1917 01:31:39,640 --> 01:31:42,360 Speaker 1: in a big, big corporate close up for WWE, going 1918 01:31:42,400 --> 01:31:45,840 Speaker 1: to Allegiance Stadium in Las Vegas. You know, Sena versus Rains. 1919 01:31:45,840 --> 01:31:47,320 Speaker 1: I mean, this is a big weekend for ww There's 1920 01:31:47,320 --> 01:31:51,360 Speaker 1: no question about it. And that same weekend, AEW made 1921 01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:56,760 Speaker 1: a major frickin' move by bringing back Cmpunk and it 1922 01:31:56,840 --> 01:32:02,160 Speaker 1: felt like the full matation of what I had been 1923 01:32:02,200 --> 01:32:06,000 Speaker 1: whispering ever since I saw Kenny Omega versus Kazuchka Kta 1924 01:32:06,120 --> 01:32:08,760 Speaker 1: Part one and then JPW the greatest wrestling match I've 1925 01:32:08,760 --> 01:32:12,000 Speaker 1: ever seen. I know, the fourth one was the big one, 1926 01:32:12,120 --> 01:32:14,280 Speaker 1: you know, in the incredible storytelling. That's maybe the second 1927 01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:16,960 Speaker 1: or third best I've ever seen, besides you know, Steamboat 1928 01:32:16,960 --> 01:32:21,400 Speaker 1: Savage or that NXT takeover Summer Slam main event between 1929 01:32:21,479 --> 01:32:26,040 Speaker 1: Cole and Gargano, you know that one. But this was 1930 01:32:26,360 --> 01:32:28,080 Speaker 1: all of a lot of what I thought it could 1931 01:32:28,120 --> 01:32:33,120 Speaker 1: be to the next level. What Punk created Friday in 1932 01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:36,560 Speaker 1: Chicago was a moment and the fields it produced in 1933 01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:38,920 Speaker 1: wrestling fans. And if you know, if you hate the shit, 1934 01:32:38,960 --> 01:32:40,840 Speaker 1: then that's fine. I don't need you. I don't. I 1935 01:32:40,840 --> 01:32:43,479 Speaker 1: don't expect you to understand, right, Luke can't hear Jimmy. 1936 01:32:43,560 --> 01:32:46,160 Speaker 1: He's listening to Cannibal Corpse, right. He's never gonna get 1937 01:32:46,160 --> 01:32:48,280 Speaker 1: this shit. I get it's fine, it's fine. But if 1938 01:32:48,320 --> 01:32:50,880 Speaker 1: you got it, or have gotten it, or just understand 1939 01:32:50,880 --> 01:32:53,400 Speaker 1: what this business is the end of the day, the 1940 01:32:53,439 --> 01:32:57,200 Speaker 1: business is about rewarding the fans for the time put 1941 01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,760 Speaker 1: in and the money and that stuff. But today to 1942 01:32:59,800 --> 01:33:02,080 Speaker 1: be wrestling fan, and that was the problem. You know. 1943 01:33:02,120 --> 01:33:05,439 Speaker 1: I quit covering wrestling for CBS Sports about a year ago, 1944 01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,920 Speaker 1: that final year to be doing morning Combat and to 1945 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:10,880 Speaker 1: be a writer in boxing and them and may at 1946 01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 1: a high level and be a national sort of voice, 1947 01:33:13,080 --> 01:33:15,719 Speaker 1: whatever that is. And then to also cover pro wrestling 1948 01:33:15,720 --> 01:33:17,800 Speaker 1: and watch everything that was going on and all that. 1949 01:33:17,800 --> 01:33:21,160 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a time suck, Like you have to 1950 01:33:21,240 --> 01:33:25,080 Speaker 1: be hardcore. But like my love of boxing, there's something 1951 01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:26,960 Speaker 1: deep inside of me that won't go away with wrestling. 1952 01:33:26,960 --> 01:33:28,960 Speaker 1: And if you activate that, if you hit that button, 1953 01:33:29,160 --> 01:33:32,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to be back. And this business has stopped 1954 01:33:32,560 --> 01:33:36,640 Speaker 1: trying to be with ww in the forefront lately. A 1955 01:33:36,680 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 1: reward of your time, it's almost never a reward of 1956 01:33:40,200 --> 01:33:42,200 Speaker 1: your time, where your hope will this person come out? 1957 01:33:42,240 --> 01:33:44,120 Speaker 1: Oh my god, imagine if they came out. It's always 1958 01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:46,559 Speaker 1: like they got it close to right, but they didn't 1959 01:33:46,600 --> 01:33:50,240 Speaker 1: really get it. There's a stubborn way in which WWE's operated, 1960 01:33:50,760 --> 01:33:53,759 Speaker 1: and I think that WWE has missed a chance, especially 1961 01:33:53,760 --> 01:33:56,320 Speaker 1: going national on Fox with SmackDown, you know a little 1962 01:33:56,320 --> 01:33:59,759 Speaker 1: over a year ago, to really help create the third 1963 01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,439 Speaker 1: boom period in our fandom. There was the first one, 1964 01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:07,920 Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan's launch in WrestleMania eighty four, eighty five, you know, WWF. 1965 01:34:08,439 --> 01:34:11,840 Speaker 1: There was the second one when the nWo created Bash 1966 01:34:11,880 --> 01:34:14,200 Speaker 1: of the Beach ninety six WCW, when Hogan turned bad 1967 01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:16,519 Speaker 1: and Hall and Nash were there, and then it led 1968 01:34:16,520 --> 01:34:18,160 Speaker 1: to the Monday Night Wars and that was the greatest 1969 01:34:18,200 --> 01:34:21,880 Speaker 1: financial period in pro wrestling history. I felt we could 1970 01:34:21,880 --> 01:34:24,760 Speaker 1: have had a legitimate third boom period with everything going 1971 01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:27,599 Speaker 1: on Japan, the launch of AEW and if ww had 1972 01:34:27,640 --> 01:34:29,320 Speaker 1: just put their best foot forward. They can't get out 1973 01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:32,559 Speaker 1: of their own way. They still can't. But cmpunk returned 1974 01:34:32,680 --> 01:34:34,439 Speaker 1: and it felt like a shift of the power. And 1975 01:34:34,479 --> 01:34:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm not even a punk super fan. That's the thing. 1976 01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:38,479 Speaker 1: I respect the punk era I get that people became 1977 01:34:38,479 --> 01:34:40,400 Speaker 1: a fan because of him. That was an error. Why, 1978 01:34:40,800 --> 01:34:43,519 Speaker 1: to be honest, wasn't watching at all the times when 1979 01:34:43,520 --> 01:34:45,360 Speaker 1: I watched. A lot of that was because cmpunk pulled 1980 01:34:45,400 --> 01:34:47,519 Speaker 1: me back in. But I'm not a punk fan, but 1981 01:34:47,560 --> 01:34:50,960 Speaker 1: I'm such a fan of what his signing means, in 1982 01:34:51,040 --> 01:34:54,840 Speaker 1: what that moment meant. AW didn't tease that he was 1983 01:34:54,880 --> 01:34:57,439 Speaker 1: common and they never came. They opened the show with it, 1984 01:34:57,800 --> 01:34:59,439 Speaker 1: and he got like twenty minutes and I thought he 1985 01:34:59,520 --> 01:35:04,920 Speaker 1: cut a great and the pop from the crowd. They 1986 01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:09,040 Speaker 1: gave them what they wanted. He's back, and it was 1987 01:35:09,080 --> 01:35:12,040 Speaker 1: the kind of feels that I have not felt as 1988 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:17,080 Speaker 1: a fan except for certain moments since Hogan turned bad 1989 01:35:17,439 --> 01:35:19,880 Speaker 1: and business picked up in a hurry in ninety six, 1990 01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:22,760 Speaker 1: and WCW went from second rate during that stretch, I 1991 01:35:22,760 --> 01:35:25,720 Speaker 1: mean ninety three. WCW was incredible in ninety ninety one 1992 01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:27,640 Speaker 1: ninety two. You could argue it was better than you know. 1993 01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:29,360 Speaker 1: Its a down period for WWF. Was some of the 1994 01:35:29,439 --> 01:35:32,360 Speaker 1: darkest periods for WWF financially post steroids. Try all that 1995 01:35:32,680 --> 01:35:35,280 Speaker 1: WCW was great. Then they stopped being great. They sucked, 1996 01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:38,120 Speaker 1: The business sucked. Ninety three ninety four he had Hogan 1997 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:40,360 Speaker 1: there and the ketchup and Mustard and it sucked. Going 1998 01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:43,920 Speaker 1: to the Universal, it sucked. Then he turned Bad, and 1999 01:35:43,960 --> 01:35:45,040 Speaker 1: all the people like me who gw up in the 2000 01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:46,800 Speaker 1: eighties on the vitamins and the prayers and all that, like, 2001 01:35:47,080 --> 01:35:48,960 Speaker 1: we were teenagers now and we were ready for Bad 2002 01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:51,880 Speaker 1: Hogan and nWo and it was everything. And it created 2003 01:35:52,080 --> 01:35:54,559 Speaker 1: a war because it forced WWE to be better than 2004 01:35:54,560 --> 01:35:57,000 Speaker 1: they ever have been at that point though, to save 2005 01:35:57,040 --> 01:35:59,759 Speaker 1: themselves financially, and it created the greatest boom period ever 2006 01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:06,880 Speaker 1: Punk's arrival in the way it was handled and that pop. 2007 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,920 Speaker 1: I feel like the third boom period is still possible. 2008 01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:12,000 Speaker 1: I feel like we might be entering it. The competition 2009 01:36:12,120 --> 01:36:15,599 Speaker 1: now is real. Aw has achieved so much on ratings 2010 01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:19,200 Speaker 1: going headhead with NXT that Vince McMann has lost faith 2011 01:36:19,240 --> 01:36:21,439 Speaker 1: in NXT and is stripped of what it actually is. 2012 01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:23,439 Speaker 1: And it's letting people contracts go left and right and 2013 01:36:23,479 --> 01:36:25,720 Speaker 1: burying NXT people like he's always done secretly and we 2014 01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,439 Speaker 1: know that's true, and announcing that they're basically going to 2015 01:36:28,520 --> 01:36:30,760 Speaker 1: go back to a big Man feeders territory, says, you know, 2016 01:36:30,840 --> 01:36:35,759 Speaker 1: just a junior league. So they're just taking the Indian influence, 2017 01:36:35,800 --> 01:36:38,120 Speaker 1: which WW has maximized to a large degree in the 2018 01:36:38,160 --> 01:36:39,800 Speaker 1: past six seven eight years. It brought in guys like 2019 01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:42,720 Speaker 1: aj Styles, Seth Rollinds and all these you know, Danielbrien, 2020 01:36:42,760 --> 01:36:46,160 Speaker 1: all these indie stars, and although on the main roster 2021 01:36:46,200 --> 01:36:48,400 Speaker 1: they never quite got it right. Except for little moments, 2022 01:36:49,360 --> 01:36:50,720 Speaker 1: you could still go to NXT to get what you 2023 01:36:50,760 --> 01:36:52,719 Speaker 1: wanted in WW, and for a lot of those years 2024 01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:54,640 Speaker 1: XT was as good or twenty eighteen, it was the 2025 01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:58,240 Speaker 1: best promotion in the game, no question. But even WW 2026 01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:00,880 Speaker 1: is getting out of that business and down tripling down 2027 01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:03,040 Speaker 1: on where the big consumer giant will sell more merch 2028 01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:05,439 Speaker 1: and we'll create more people that can go do charity 2029 01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:06,880 Speaker 1: events and all that. And you know that's the image 2030 01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:12,200 Speaker 1: for WWE. Punk might have been the shift of power 2031 01:37:12,280 --> 01:37:14,360 Speaker 1: that AEW needed. The proof will be in the put in. 2032 01:37:14,439 --> 01:37:19,679 Speaker 1: As they say, ratings KNAEW create storylines and must see moments. 2033 01:37:20,720 --> 01:37:23,840 Speaker 1: But WW is almost and people have argued since they 2034 01:37:23,840 --> 01:37:27,760 Speaker 1: brought in Nick Cohn, the super talented and creative, an 2035 01:37:27,800 --> 01:37:29,920 Speaker 1: amazing sports agent who I give a lot of respect to, 2036 01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:31,640 Speaker 1: has never been my agent. I've tried it at a 2037 01:37:31,640 --> 01:37:33,400 Speaker 1: certain points, but you know, he's given me the time. 2038 01:37:36,120 --> 01:37:39,360 Speaker 1: He's doing a thankless job there, and people think they're 2039 01:37:39,360 --> 01:37:41,240 Speaker 1: preparing to sell and they might be. For all we know. 2040 01:37:41,240 --> 01:37:42,599 Speaker 1: I don't believe it. I don't believe we're ever going 2041 01:37:42,600 --> 01:37:44,559 Speaker 1: to see Vince mcman get out of power until he dies. 2042 01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,160 Speaker 1: By the way, but they're cutting a lot of people, 2043 01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:49,639 Speaker 1: are cutting a lot of hefty contracts, and if AW 2044 01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:53,400 Speaker 1: starts picking these up, even though they're not necessarily reliant, 2045 01:37:53,520 --> 01:37:56,439 Speaker 1: like they don't necessarily need these WW cast offs, because 2046 01:37:56,439 --> 01:38:01,120 Speaker 1: they've given a platform for guys that are ready that 2047 01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:04,000 Speaker 1: never spent a second WW. You know, guys like mjf 2048 01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:08,160 Speaker 1: and and Adam Page and you know Kenny Omega and 2049 01:38:08,360 --> 01:38:10,040 Speaker 1: you know guys that okay, maybe they had one second 2050 01:38:10,120 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 1: or one trial, but they never you know, they never 2051 01:38:11,520 --> 01:38:16,080 Speaker 1: crossed over there. But you're gonna need, like with WCW's 2052 01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,479 Speaker 1: launching that second boom period, you're gonna need recognizable names 2053 01:38:20,520 --> 01:38:24,680 Speaker 1: doing big, fresh, edgy things for to unlock the law. 2054 01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:27,519 Speaker 1: The Angry the Lapsed Fans shout out to The Lapse Fan, 2055 01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:30,400 Speaker 1: which is maybe the best wrestling podcast ever. Seriously, shout 2056 01:38:30,439 --> 01:38:35,200 Speaker 1: out to JP and UH and Jack. You're gonna need that. 2057 01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:38,360 Speaker 1: So imagine if these rumors are true of what it 2058 01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:40,760 Speaker 1: could be. I mean, like like they got cmpunk, they 2059 01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:44,080 Speaker 1: got Chris Jericho, who's doing incredible, incredible things at his age. 2060 01:38:44,720 --> 01:38:49,280 Speaker 1: They got Dean Ambrose, you know, uh who's repackage. But 2061 01:38:49,320 --> 01:38:51,080 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. They got Cody Road yep, 2062 01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:54,759 Speaker 1: all that. Could they get Dane O'Brien, that's the rumors. 2063 01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:59,000 Speaker 1: Next later in September, could they get Bray Wyatt, who 2064 01:38:59,080 --> 01:39:01,240 Speaker 1: got like, oh, could they get bron Strowman? Could they 2065 01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:07,120 Speaker 1: get I mean the opening is there for them to 2066 01:39:07,200 --> 01:39:10,960 Speaker 1: assemble a roster. Now there's a threat in that WCW 2067 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,400 Speaker 1: couldn't keep their finances together. They're throwing money at everybody. 2068 01:39:13,439 --> 01:39:15,919 Speaker 1: Sudden in the nWo had thirty nine people in it 2069 01:39:15,960 --> 01:39:19,680 Speaker 1: and it you know, it fell apart. They went on 2070 01:39:19,720 --> 01:39:21,200 Speaker 1: with it. I mean it was fun while lasted though, 2071 01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:24,800 Speaker 1: that was it. I mean that era was you have 2072 01:39:24,840 --> 01:39:27,759 Speaker 1: to hide, you know, you have to hide your fandom 2073 01:39:28,160 --> 01:39:30,400 Speaker 1: or your understanding of why it's so good, because when 2074 01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:33,360 Speaker 1: it's that good, it doesn't matter. You know, we could 2075 01:39:33,360 --> 01:39:36,840 Speaker 1: be there again. And the fact that WW is almost 2076 01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,559 Speaker 1: like doesn't realize, like what they could have and are 2077 01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,559 Speaker 1: so willing to just stay with the WW style, which, 2078 01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:44,880 Speaker 1: by the way, when it's done right, it's awesome. And 2079 01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:46,880 Speaker 1: I hear there were great moments in Summer Slam, and 2080 01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 1: you know it's a big deal that Rains and Sina 2081 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:51,320 Speaker 1: against each other and the main event and that Brock 2082 01:39:51,400 --> 01:39:53,439 Speaker 1: come back and come out, and I know Becky Lynch 2083 01:39:53,479 --> 01:39:55,880 Speaker 1: came out and that was you know, widely payned for 2084 01:39:55,920 --> 01:39:58,479 Speaker 1: all the right reasons, just destroying Bianca Blair for really 2085 01:39:58,479 --> 01:40:04,080 Speaker 1: no Biyonca there for no reason. But what this is 2086 01:40:04,120 --> 01:40:06,840 Speaker 1: gonna do, with punk back and business up and these 2087 01:40:06,880 --> 01:40:10,240 Speaker 1: fresh feuds, it's gonna make WW. You have to work, 2088 01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,120 Speaker 1: have to be good again, have to be the best 2089 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:14,720 Speaker 1: version of themselves they can. And even with all those cuts, man, 2090 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:17,600 Speaker 1: they've got too, they've got just a disgusting amount of 2091 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,680 Speaker 1: talent that if they can get out of their own way, 2092 01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:22,720 Speaker 1: which means get Vince out of the way, in which 2093 01:40:22,760 --> 01:40:24,400 Speaker 1: they can't. But if they could get out of their 2094 01:40:24,400 --> 01:40:26,680 Speaker 1: own way and start listening to others more and not 2095 01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:30,200 Speaker 1: being a completely broken back room culture in which everybody's 2096 01:40:30,200 --> 01:40:32,040 Speaker 1: just trying to please one man, and if they can 2097 01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:34,720 Speaker 1: put their best foot forward, that they tease every once 2098 01:40:34,720 --> 01:40:36,040 Speaker 1: in a while that they still know how to do. 2099 01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 1: There's gonna be a boom period where it's you know, 2100 01:40:39,160 --> 01:40:41,760 Speaker 1: forget Luke and the MMA people on this show being like, 2101 01:40:41,760 --> 01:40:44,439 Speaker 1: oh Man wrestling, No, it'd be, It'll just be. It'll 2102 01:40:44,479 --> 01:40:46,599 Speaker 1: be what it is. You gotta watch it, you gotta 2103 01:40:46,640 --> 01:40:49,360 Speaker 1: talk about it. We could be there, Punk Game Me 2104 01:40:51,120 --> 01:40:54,599 Speaker 1: Daytona Beach Bash at the Peach nineteen ninety six, Hog 2105 01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:58,479 Speaker 1: Hogan Fields and you needed Hogan. Now, they already had 2106 01:40:58,520 --> 01:41:00,519 Speaker 1: Hogan WCW for a couple years, but was catchup and 2107 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,160 Speaker 1: Mustard washed up, like we're not we don't want that anymore. 2108 01:41:03,200 --> 01:41:04,960 Speaker 1: When they got the real Hogan, when they got when 2109 01:41:04,960 --> 01:41:08,920 Speaker 1: they got Hollywood Hogan, that was the game changer. Punk 2110 01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,160 Speaker 1: could be this game changer. And even if it's not, 2111 01:41:11,240 --> 01:41:14,160 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun watching. And they got Kenny Omega 2112 01:41:14,280 --> 01:41:16,719 Speaker 1: and they got a lot of good things going on there. 2113 01:41:19,320 --> 01:41:22,120 Speaker 1: We could be onto something here. This could like I 2114 01:41:22,200 --> 01:41:24,680 Speaker 1: woke back up. I'm not ready to watch I'm not 2115 01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:27,360 Speaker 1: a dude. FWW, I'm not even ready to watch them. 2116 01:41:27,200 --> 01:41:29,639 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch them. I need all I need 2117 01:41:29,680 --> 01:41:33,720 Speaker 1: in wrestling, I need aw especially with NXT stop being NXT. Now. 2118 01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,640 Speaker 1: I need AW and I need new Japan for the 2119 01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:39,479 Speaker 1: big ones. That's all I need. And imagine if they 2120 01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:41,639 Speaker 1: work together. Was they kind of are I know, Impact 2121 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:43,479 Speaker 1: wrestling is kind of a bridge in this area too, 2122 01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:47,000 Speaker 1: and they're sharing talent. Could you imagine if everybody was 2123 01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,240 Speaker 1: quote unquote open for business. And it's a controversial line 2124 01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:51,320 Speaker 1: right now because then Nick con interview gave to Ariel, 2125 01:41:51,560 --> 01:41:53,680 Speaker 1: But if everybody was sort of open for business and 2126 01:41:53,680 --> 01:41:59,200 Speaker 1: work together and went against the big power. Say what 2127 01:41:59,240 --> 01:42:03,880 Speaker 1: you will about this r When it's done right, it 2128 01:42:03,880 --> 01:42:05,719 Speaker 1: can make a grown man cry. I mean, it's still 2129 01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:07,960 Speaker 1: real to us, damn it. It can make a grown 2130 01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:11,920 Speaker 1: man cry when you tell when you tell these stories 2131 01:42:11,920 --> 01:42:14,640 Speaker 1: the right way, I mean when I didn't see it, 2132 01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,120 Speaker 1: So I can't comment certainly on Rock Lesner. I saw 2133 01:42:17,160 --> 01:42:19,679 Speaker 1: the highlights. I don't know. I mean, Brock Lesner coming 2134 01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:21,639 Speaker 1: in what was Sina Rain's a great match. People say 2135 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:23,479 Speaker 1: it was really good. It lived up to expectations, and 2136 01:42:23,479 --> 01:42:25,320 Speaker 1: then suddenly Brocks there and it's a new Brock and 2137 01:42:25,360 --> 01:42:27,600 Speaker 1: it's good guy Brock, you know, and Rains is what 2138 01:42:27,680 --> 01:42:29,760 Speaker 1: he's done. He's been the right spot the heel work, 2139 01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:31,360 Speaker 1: Roman Reigns done now that they finally let him go 2140 01:42:31,400 --> 01:42:32,920 Speaker 1: and open I mean I've tuned in for that. It's 2141 01:42:32,920 --> 01:42:37,360 Speaker 1: been fantastic. Head of the table. Yes, but you're also 2142 01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,080 Speaker 1: even though it's not a point for point move, WW 2143 01:42:41,200 --> 01:42:44,000 Speaker 1: didn't counter program what happened to Punk on Friday and aew, 2144 01:42:44,400 --> 01:42:46,040 Speaker 1: this is probably the plan. That's what Jack Cross from 2145 01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:47,840 Speaker 1: my CBS brother. It's like this plan they had all along. 2146 01:42:48,320 --> 01:42:52,639 Speaker 1: But still you're bringing out brock Lesner and John Cena 2147 01:42:52,720 --> 01:42:57,559 Speaker 1: and Goldberg who had another awful moment there. When is 2148 01:42:57,720 --> 01:43:01,400 Speaker 1: WW gonna trust and its potential in its future? When 2149 01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:04,280 Speaker 1: is WW gonna roll out Roman Reigns and seth rollins 2150 01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:07,679 Speaker 1: in a multi year story with multiple WrestleMania main events. 2151 01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:10,000 Speaker 1: You know they have the history storytelling wise, like when 2152 01:43:10,040 --> 01:43:13,960 Speaker 1: are they gonna start, Like when your fans can fantasy 2153 01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:16,800 Speaker 1: book better the territory, then you'll ever do it? Like 2154 01:43:16,840 --> 01:43:19,240 Speaker 1: that's a problem. When are they going to do things 2155 01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:23,400 Speaker 1: again that that make old men feel like kids again 2156 01:43:23,439 --> 01:43:26,559 Speaker 1: in terms of the swerves and storytelling. They may have 2157 01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:29,360 Speaker 1: to soon if AW does this. And so I've taken 2158 01:43:29,439 --> 01:43:31,040 Speaker 1: up enough of your time in this MMA in boxing 2159 01:43:31,040 --> 01:43:33,160 Speaker 1: show talking about this pro wrestling thing that a lot 2160 01:43:33,200 --> 01:43:34,320 Speaker 1: of you will love and get.
