We 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 4: always love when we forced you to make the quick 44 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 4: turn post fight show right to the Anak and Florian podcast. 45 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 4: I know you asked Fox if we can just repurpose 46 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 4: that audio from the post fight show. 47 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 6: I'm very upset with you. I'm very upset with you. 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 5: I told you, I told you, I texted you that 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 5: I wanted to pick Gai Chee, except I texted you 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 5: after the fight, so yeah. 51 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 6: But I did text it for the record. 52 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 5: For the record, I want people to know I picked 53 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,399 Speaker 5: Gaichie on UFC tonight, and I picked Gaichee on the 54 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 5: pre show. 55 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 4: So, and there were a lot of different reasons why 56 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 4: you picked James Vick on this show. And part of 57 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: it was because you're you're chasing on the scoreboard the 58 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 4: main event challenge and you need points, so that was 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 4: a part of it, and maybe there were some other 60 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 4: layers to it as well. But certainly when our guest 61 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 4: picker went geechee, I think there was some impetus for 62 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 4: you to go the other way, and you articulated as much. 63 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 4: But it was funny because when you set up your 64 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 4: vic pick, you talked a lot about Gaichee's boxing and 65 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 4: set up the scenario for Justin to win, so much 66 00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 4: so that I had written down Geechee and then we know. 67 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,119 Speaker 6: Me too well, you know the code words I use. 68 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 6: I know, but. 69 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: Alas it's a losing week for you, and if you 70 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 4: want me to up to the standings, I will. You 71 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 4: lost the week six to three, So from ninety six 72 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 4: eighty good on our man, Giovanni Romagnoli. By the way, 73 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: from the UK one oh two eighty nine for Team Annik. 74 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: So again we saw that lead shave to eight points back. 75 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 6: Good job. That was good. All right. 76 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 4: So I know people like to bang on Ken Flow 77 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 4: for his predictions, but he does reserve the right on 78 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: the Anakin Flooring podcast to make a pick on Monday 79 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 4: and then six days later on Saturday, make it change. 80 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 4: He just has to text me before beforehand. He did 81 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 4: not officially did to text you. But enough about all 82 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: of that fucking bullshit. Let's talk about Justin Gaegee. Because 83 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 4: when I retire as a UFC commentator, I'm gonna walk 84 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 4: around in a Team Geechee T shirt. I can't do 85 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 4: it now because I got to be objective. But this 86 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,839 Speaker 4: guy is the man Kenny truly an elite fighter, an 87 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 4: absolute sicko. How can you not just love everything about 88 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: this kid and be happy for him to in a 89 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 4: rivalry type matchup here, or at least one that had 90 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 4: some heat for him to close the show and not 91 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 4: just knock James Bick out, but to literally put him 92 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 4: to sleep with one punch. 93 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 5: You know, I think so many times when you see 94 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 5: someone who shines in any field, it typically is because 95 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: they remained authentic to who they are and what they're about, 96 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,239 Speaker 5: no matter what was going on around them they were 97 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 5: they allowed that to shine, and that's who Gaichee is. 98 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 5: You know everyone's saying, Getchie, why don't you fight smarter? 99 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 5: Why don't you try to win rounds? Supposed to try 100 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 5: to knock people's teeth out? Well, that's his style and 101 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 5: you know what, it works, and this is the guy 102 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 5: who gets paid very well. 103 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 6: And in my opinion, you look at probably the last I. 104 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 5: Don't know, ten years, you know, when the UFC brought it, 105 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 5: brought over a lot of talent from other organizations. That 106 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,880 Speaker 5: has to be the top three signings for the UFC 107 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 5: that they've ever done. Because he's a guy that you 108 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 5: know is going to deliver action every single time out. 109 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 5: He is absolutely fearless. I've said it before, I'll say 110 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,279 Speaker 5: it again. There's very few people when you strap on 111 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 5: those four ounce gloves that are willing to get in 112 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 5: the pocket and trade trade, not only to just you know, 113 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 5: they're kind of win seeing or whatever. Gechee is looking 114 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 5: you right in your eye and he's trying to knock 115 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 5: your head off. There's very few people that are willing 116 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 5: to do that. And there's very few people that are 117 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 5: willing to put their lives on the line every single 118 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,600 Speaker 5: night out Gee Chee. It doesn't matter. Geie Chee is 119 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,599 Speaker 5: willing to die in the octagon. Like I hate to 120 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 5: say that, but he really is. And there's just very 121 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,279 Speaker 5: few people that are willing to do that. 122 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 4: Right And I used to say there are two groups 123 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 4: of fighters, those that are willing to get knocked out 124 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 4: and those that aren't. And there are some fighters that 125 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 4: when push comes to shove and it's the end of 126 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 4: a fight that they are clearly losing, they are not 127 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 4: willing and whether it's fear or something else, they're not 128 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: willing to get knocked out. And I think when you 129 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,719 Speaker 4: parlay Gee Chee's at athleticism and his toughness mentally and physically. 130 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 4: With Trevor Whitman and the boxing skills and that system, 131 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 4: you've got one very difficult fighter. And I know the 132 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 4: recent results coming into this fight weren't great. You know, 133 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: it's hard to believe that this could have been a 134 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 4: third consecutive loss for justinon Gaichee if he didn't come 135 00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 4: through as betting underdog in this situation. But what a 136 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 4: huge just injection of force into this lightweight division. Four 137 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: fights more bonuses than fights for Justin Gaigie at this 138 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 4: point in time. 139 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 8: And you know, coming off the. 140 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 4: Dustin Poier fight, a lot of people wonder where Justin 141 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 4: Gaichie would be at, and I think this result tells 142 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 4: you exactly where he is at. And he set himself 143 00:06:58,279 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 4: up for another big one. I know he called out 144 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 4: Tony Ferguson after the fact. Ferguson has a fight which 145 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 4: we'll get to here shortly. But what do you think 146 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 4: the future holds for Justin Gatgee on the strength of 147 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 4: what he did this weekend? 148 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 5: Honestly, he can write his own ticket to a lot 149 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 5: of other fight Night main events, that's for sure. If 150 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 5: you want to put on a main card on a 151 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 5: pay per view. I think that'd be a smart choice 152 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 5: as well. But I think he has guaranteed himself a 153 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 5: spot as a main event for any UFC fight night, 154 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 5: you know, going forward. You know, I don't know how 155 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 5: long he's going to be fighting for. I don't know 156 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 5: if he's ever going to be a champion. He has 157 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 5: a style that allows him to beat anyone in the division, 158 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: but also he's susceptible to getting beat by anyone in 159 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 5: the division. 160 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,720 Speaker 6: By most I would say, the elite. 161 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 5: I don't want to say anybody, but as far as 162 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 5: the elites, the top ten, maybe top fifteen, in that 163 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 5: very tough one hundred and fifty five pound division, he 164 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 5: could get knocked out. 165 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,760 Speaker 6: But I tell you what, I like his chances against a. 166 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 5: Tony Ferguson, because Tony Ferguson isn't the most technical guy 167 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 5: in the world. He's the guy who kind of leads 168 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 5: with his chin, who is known for his toughness and determination. 169 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: That would be an absolute classic, if not the next fight, 170 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 5: maybe the one after that, And that is one of 171 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 5: those I think will go down his history in history 172 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 5: as one of the greatest fights in that division. Both 173 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 5: those guys are absolute beasts, and you know, the good 174 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 5: thing in this last fight for Geichee he didn't take 175 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 5: any damnage. I think it was a couple of leg kicks, 176 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 5: maybe one or two leg kicks that kind of slapped 177 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 5: him and maybe one or two down to the body, 178 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 5: but that was it. 179 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 6: He I don't think he got hit in the head once. 180 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 5: So a good result but also a good fight for 181 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 5: Geige where he didn't suffer any damage. 182 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 4: Right, it was one minute and twenty seven seconds flush 183 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: knockout for Justin Gaegee, and you are absolutely right. This 184 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 4: is a main event fighter. He's headlined three times in 185 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: four UFC appearances, and I like him aim and high too, 186 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: even though Tony Ferguson recently got matched up with Anthony 187 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,640 Speaker 4: Showtime Pettis. I'm not sure if Gaigie was wholly aware 188 00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 4: of that when he put forth that call out, but hey, 189 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 4: given the fact that this fight only lasted ninety seconds, 190 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,520 Speaker 4: perhaps Gatechee can throw himself on standby for October sixth, 191 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 4: But at all likelihood he's going to be headlining, you know, 192 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 4: before the year is out. Justin Gaigie a huge win 193 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 4: over James Vick. And that brings us to James Vick, 194 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: who called this the worst night of his life on Instagram. 195 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: And if it was the worst night of his life, 196 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 4: he's had a pretty good life, you know, all things considered. 197 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 4: But this was not good for James Vick. I thought 198 00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 4: he did get a few things done early. Ken Flow 199 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:27,600 Speaker 4: seemed to be finding a home for that left kick 200 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 4: and putting something behind it, landing to the body and 201 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 4: landing low. But what do you say about James Vick. 202 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 4: One right hand lands and Vic is down and out. 203 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 5: You know, one of the disadvantages of having certain physical 204 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 5: characteristics that your opponents do not have. And I mean 205 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 5: those as far as advantages, those could actually be disadvantages 206 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 5: because you get away with a lot of things. You know, 207 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,839 Speaker 5: when you're stronger than everybody in the gym, when you're 208 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 5: faster than everybody in the gym, sometimes you rely on 209 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:01,440 Speaker 5: those physical traits and you don't on the technical aspects 210 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 5: of the fight. And he would drop his hands a 211 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 5: lot in his fight. His chin would be very high. 212 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 5: Those are things you just can't do on an elite level. 213 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 5: And you're six foot three and you'll get away with 214 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 5: it against most guys. But not a guy like Justin Gaigie, 215 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 5: who can move his head off the center line get 216 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 5: on the inside. 217 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 6: He's gonna be fearless getting into the pocket. 218 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 5: And if you look at his fight, even his last 219 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 5: fight against Tronaldo, there are these moments where. 220 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:26,959 Speaker 6: You're kind of going, oh jeu. 221 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 5: If Tronaldo just was like maybe an inch closer, or 222 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 5: if he just kind of had his fisc go a 223 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 5: little bit straighter, he would have cut Vic really badly. 224 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 5: And even some of the shots he did catch, you 225 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 5: just go man. Vic really needs to improve that. 226 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 7: Well. 227 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 5: Hopefully James looks at this fight and goes, Okay, I 228 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:45,920 Speaker 5: have to be more technically sound. 229 00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 6: I have to be more defensively responsible. 230 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 5: I cannot back myself up against the octagon with nowhere 231 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 5: to go and drop my hands and have my chin 232 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 5: way up in the air, especially against a guy like 233 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 5: a Gaychee. 234 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 6: So for Vicky has some work to do in this game. 235 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 6: There are some hard lessons you have to learn. 236 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 5: I've experienced multiple lessons in the octagon, and sometimes you're 237 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 5: not able to see those things. 238 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 6: You think, yeah, you know what, I can get away 239 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 6: with it. 240 00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,679 Speaker 5: You get caught like that and you have to just 241 00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 5: face reality and go I'm going to work on that 242 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 5: and come back better. 243 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 4: And the good news for James Vick he falls to 244 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: nine and two in the UFC, which is still a 245 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 4: shining mark for him. In this one hundred and fifty 246 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 4: five pound vision didn't seem as focused to me. And 247 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 4: I know James Vick well as many of you know, 248 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: dating to The Ultimate Fighter Live in twenty twelve, so 249 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 4: I don't make that statement trying to create a headline. 250 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,080 Speaker 4: I don't know if he just liked this matchup ken 251 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: flow and thought there were things that he could exploit. 252 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: But I didn't see that nastiness necessarily during fight week 253 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,920 Speaker 4: that I saw at other times out of hit. I 254 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:50,560 Speaker 4: don't know, man, there was just a different look in 255 00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 4: the eyes of James Vick, you know, maybe looked a 256 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 4: little bit softer to me, but he said he was 257 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,719 Speaker 4: in shape and didn't have any excuses. 258 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 8: But Vica, at the very least. 259 00:11:57,679 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 4: I think can take advantage of the shot that this 260 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 4: main event spotlight afforded him and have another big fight next. 261 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: But the story is justin Gaichee, man, and this one 262 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 4: for me, And I don't know if he had one 263 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: more comment on vic before we move on my man. 264 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 6: I did. 265 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 5: I think a lot of that had to do with 266 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 5: the tension he was carrying on his shoulders from really 267 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 5: the statements that he made about Gee Chee's calling him 268 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 5: a B level fighter, saying he didn't deserve to be 269 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 5: in the UFC, And I think those thoughts started to 270 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 5: resonate in his head a little bit as he made 271 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 5: that walk, And I agree with you. Even on Wednesday 272 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: when I talked to him for UFC tonight, he seemed 273 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 5: very nervous. And again, this is authenticity of Justin Gaigie 274 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 5: knowing what he is and what he's about, and James Vick. 275 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 5: I don't know if James Vick truly believed all those 276 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 5: things he was saying about Justin Gaichie, and I think 277 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 5: it kind of those words came back to bite him 278 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 5: and he was feeling the pressure on fight night. 279 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 4: I mean, did you see Justin Gaigee in that inspection zone, Kenflow. 280 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 4: I mean the look out his face was like, I'm 281 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 4: gonna go in there and fucking. 282 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 8: Kill this kid. 283 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 5: He has no idea he lives for that shit. It 284 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 5: doesn't matter, he has no regard for it doesn't matter. 285 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 5: He just wants to punch someone in the face. That's 286 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 5: a dangerous guy. When someone has no regard for their 287 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,280 Speaker 5: own well being, that is a very, very dangerous man. 288 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: And I can assure you there are a lot of 289 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 4: fighters who wish they were cut from that cloth and 290 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 4: could go in there with sort of reckless abandon the 291 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: way he does. And I will just say, in closing 292 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 4: on Gaichee, as John Candy said famously in planes, trains 293 00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 4: and automobiles, I'm the real article. What you see is 294 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 4: what you get, and that is Justin Geige in a nutshell, 295 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: and that is the way you led Kenny, And that 296 00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 4: is Justin Geegee man. 297 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 8: He is who he is. 298 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: He is unchanged, and thank god he's in the UFC, 299 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 4: right because we've seen other names like Michael Chandler, who 300 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 4: I would love to see in the big show, you know, 301 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: not come over. Thank god we got Justin Gaegee Man. 302 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: He's a good one and it certainly proved as much. 303 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 4: Over the weekend co main event, Michael Johnson over Andre 304 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 4: Feeley by split decision. Any major thoughts on this, Ken Floy, 305 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 4: I thought it was a close fight for Michael Johnson. 306 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 4: This is huge, right, I mean, we set up sort 307 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 4: of his back being up against the wall on last 308 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 4: week's show, and by decision or by DQ any means necessary, 309 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 4: Michael Johnson needed the w next to this one, and he. 310 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 5: Got a Boy did he need this one, and he 311 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 5: did it against a very tough Andre Pheely. Pheely, I 312 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 5: was a little surprised by his approach in this fight. 313 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 5: He was a little bit more aggressive, and I thought 314 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 5: he was a little bit too emotional. It's such a 315 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 5: balancing act, you know, finding out how you compete best 316 00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 5: in the octagon. You know, do I ramp up my emotions, 317 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 5: do I get fired up it? Do I try to 318 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 5: be calm but not too calm, And that can change 319 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 5: throughout your career based on your results. And I think 320 00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 5: Pheey maybe turned up the volume a little bit too 321 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:39,960 Speaker 5: much for that fight. 322 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 6: Seemed a little bit too emotional. 323 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 5: I think he's fighting best when he is actually backpedaling 324 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 5: and trying to counterfight, and he didn't quite do that 325 00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 5: in this fight against Michael Johnson. Perhaps because Michael Johnson 326 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 5: was very similar in weight and size. Pheely's typically the 327 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 5: bigger guy and he can do that against shorter fighters. 328 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 5: Maybe that's why he switch it up. Nonetheless, it was 329 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 5: a very very close fight that really could have gone 330 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 5: either way. Michael Johnson did a good job of showing 331 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 5: his speed. He still has it one hundred and forty 332 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 5: five pounds. I still thought he was the faster guy, 333 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 5: but I thought it was Pheey. He was using his 334 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 5: reach very well. He was going upstairs with that kick, 335 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 5: with that right kick upstairs against south paw Michael Johnson. 336 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 5: I just thought he needed more variety in this fight. 337 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 5: Pheeley's gonna learn from the miss. I still think he 338 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,040 Speaker 5: has tremendous potential and I would not be surprised if 339 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 5: he fought for the belt one day. 340 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 6: This is one he's gonna learn from. Michael Johnson. 341 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 5: Just a little bit too a little too much experience, 342 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 5: and Michael Johnson got himself out of some very dangerous spots. 343 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 5: Johnny almost got submitted with a triangle with an armlock 344 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,400 Speaker 5: with a rear naked choke. He did some good job 345 00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 5: it did a good job there of escaping, but needs 346 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 5: to improve his grappling skill. Philly was taking advantage on 347 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:53,800 Speaker 5: the ground like immediately. 348 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, I think you set up both guys well, 349 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 4: and I share your optimism for Andre Peely. 350 00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 6: I really do. 351 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 4: I feel like on any given Saturday night, as he 352 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 4: continues to evolve, he can compete with the one hundred 353 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: and forty five pound division's best and really well rounded. 354 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 4: I know we trotted out there too much in mixed 355 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,600 Speaker 4: martial arts circles, but he really is becoming a well 356 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 4: rounded fighter that can beat you in a number of 357 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 4: different ways. But this one goes to Michael Johnson, and 358 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 4: good for him making that weight cup back to back 359 00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:20,000 Speaker 4: down to one hundred and forty five pounds, and at 360 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,040 Speaker 4: least it seems as though his immediate future is going 361 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 4: to be in the featherweight division after he gets a 362 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 4: big win. A couple other main event highlights I want 363 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 4: to get to before we bring Raymond Peter Longo into 364 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,360 Speaker 4: the conversation. Brian Barberina knocks out Jake Ellenberger two minutes 365 00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 4: and twenty six seconds into round one, and I'll be 366 00:16:36,640 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 4: very candid with the audience. Part of the impetus for 367 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 4: putting Jake Ellenberger on the show last week was in 368 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 4: part because we both thought that maybe it would be 369 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: the last opportunity we would get to talk to him 370 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 4: as an active UFC fighter, and he was a massive 371 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 4: betting underdog. It was a very quick turn. After he 372 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 4: was knocked out by Ben Saunders June first in Utica, 373 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,880 Speaker 4: New York. The odds were stacked against Jake Ellenberger. I'm 374 00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 4: happy he got to lay down the gloves and announce 375 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 4: his retirement there and his native Nebraska can flow, but 376 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 4: certainly not the result he was looking for. And when 377 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: you look at his big picture career going from twenty 378 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 4: nine and six to thirty one and fifteen, the narrative 379 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 4: on Jake Ellenberger's career changed profusely over the last three 380 00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 4: or four years. And hopefully that's something that he's okay 381 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 4: sitting with because the tide really turned for him. And 382 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 4: when you look at the body of workman, it's crazy 383 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 4: how it changed. 384 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 5: When you're involved in such a physical sport like mixed 385 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 5: martial arts, there is a time limit, folks, there is 386 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 5: a tilamit. You can't fight forever. And he had a 387 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 5: style that involved him in a lot of crazy brawls. 388 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 5: He was mainly a striker, a wrestler striker, and you know, 389 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 5: his chin just wasn't what it should be like. Even 390 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 5: if you look at this fight against Barbarina, it wasn't 391 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 5: a hard shot, and you know, sometimes it's shot that 392 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 5: you don't see are the ones that hurt you. But 393 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 5: this was not the same Ellenburger from eight years ago. 394 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 5: Go right, I mean, it's just completely different. This guy 395 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 5: was known for his chin. Now he was not. You 396 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 5: see that a lot in this sport, guys who had 397 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 5: amazing chins, and all of a sudden overnight they do not. 398 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 6: And he's had a lot of knockouts back to back. 399 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 5: To back, and there comes a point where you just 400 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 5: got to say, you know what, I yes, I love 401 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 5: doing this. I still love to fight. I still make 402 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 5: a good paycheck. I want to support my family, but 403 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,439 Speaker 5: I gotta look out for myself. 404 00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 6: I got to look out for my own health. 405 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: And and you don't want to see one of the 406 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,640 Speaker 5: good guys in Jake Ellenberger get hurt, you know, where 407 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 5: there's some kind of permanent damage. And I think this 408 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,440 Speaker 5: was the right time. Maybe he could have retired even 409 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 5: a few fights ago. But ellen Burger, you know, he's 410 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 5: a warrior, and a lot of times, when you do 411 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 5: something for a very long time that becomes your identity. 412 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 5: It's hard to say goodbye. But this was a goodbye 413 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 5: for for Jake Ellenberger and again just a true gentleman 414 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 5: in this sport, a great guy. I'm glad we got 415 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 5: a chance to talk to him, and he made the 416 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 5: right decision there against a tough Barbarina, and to Barbarina 417 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,040 Speaker 5: as well. You know, the story was all about Ellenburger, 418 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 5: but Barbarina got himself another nice win, a quick win, 419 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 5: and he moves on in that division. 420 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 7: Yeah. 421 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: No, I like the MMA labs Brian Barbarina for sure. 422 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 4: I think he could be a force at one hundred 423 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 4: and seventy pounds. And I will say long ago, I 424 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:16,119 Speaker 4: know you're on hold. But for Jake Ellenberger, I think 425 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 4: part of the issue, Kenny is when you're still improving 426 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 4: in training and you still feel like you're making strides 427 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,360 Speaker 4: and becoming a better fighter, you feel like, man, let 428 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 4: me get back out there. But I think this was 429 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,240 Speaker 4: perfect for Jake Ellenberger in the sense that it proved 430 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 4: to him and anyone who had any reservations that the 431 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 4: chin has just gone and it's time to walk away. 432 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 4: And again I said twenty nine and six to thirty 433 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 4: one and fifteen, but you should see the guys he's 434 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 4: lost to, you know, not an easy out among them. 435 00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 4: So Congrats to Jake Ellenberger on an outstanding UFC career, 436 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 4: and his name is is littered across the UFC welch 437 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: Away record books when it comes to knockdowns in a 438 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 4: lot of other categories.

I really I loved the sincerity, 510 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 9: I love his honesty. I love his commitment to the sport. 511 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 9: I love his Duo die attitude is I think this 512 00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 9: guy's a good dude man. Like again, I had the 513 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 9: pleasure of just talking him for a couple of minutes 514 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 9: in Vegas. He seemed like a nice, humble, good dude man, 515 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 9: and I wish the guy the best, I really do. 516 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 9: I thought that was a phenomenal fight for him. His 517 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 9: back was against the wall. You know, he had two losses, 518 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,760 Speaker 9: two wars that could take a toll on you, and 519 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 9: he fought a real problem in James Vick with the 520 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 9: height and everything. And now I'm glad he got the 521 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 9: job done the and the way he got it done. 522 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 9: I think that's that spells justin Gagee right. 523 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 5: There and right you know, with his fighting style, I 524 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,120 Speaker 5: think he has the ability to beat anyone or lose 525 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 5: to anyone in the top ten. 526 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 6: But do you think he could be a champion in 527 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 6: this sport, in the UFC Uh. 528 00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 7: I'm starting to believe yes he can. I really do. 529 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,439 Speaker 9: He's gotta I mean, I love We've talked about this before, Kenny. 530 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 9: I'd love to see him. I think this was the 531 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 9: first time we saw him with a little more patience. Yeah, 532 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,200 Speaker 9: and uh, you know, a little more calculated, and uh, 533 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 9: I think that's gonna serve him, serve him well. And 534 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 9: I'm gonna tell you some Kenny, you give this guy 535 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:19,080 Speaker 9: anybody like below, like above, like a number five rank guy, 536 00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 9: or he's gonna he's gonna roll right through him. I 537 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 9: think he's got that type of style right, and I 538 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 9: think he's bringing that X factor and everybody knows they're 539 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 9: gonna be in for a fight, you know. And I'm 540 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 9: and I gotta tell you, I'm not sure if he 541 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:35,639 Speaker 9: had a rematch with with Dustin already Albarez. He doesn't 542 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 9: win those fights. I mean he was in that fight. 543 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 9: Those fights, you know, came down to attrition, and I 544 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 9: think he makes a couple of adjustments. 545 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 7: He's getting those losses back. 546 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 8: That's a great point. 547 00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 4: And I can almost assure you if Sean Shelby texted 548 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 4: Dustin Poorrier and said do you want to fight X 549 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 4: or why? And why is gaetchee? He probably don't care 550 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 4: who the other guy is. He's fighting the other guy man, 551 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 4: you know, I mean squad to shreds, you know, exactly. 552 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 4: So I just want to ask you a question because 553 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 4: you have to see two twenty eight is on the 554 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:09,880 Speaker 4: horizon here coming up September eighth, And I know next 555 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 4: week when we talk to you, much of the focus 556 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 4: will be on Aljamin Sterling. But you cornered Matt Sarah 557 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,960 Speaker 4: when he beat George Saint Pierre as a massive betting underdog. 558 00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,159 Speaker 4: And I don't know if I want any specifics on 559 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 4: this matchup between Nico Montagno and Valentina Chevchenko, right, but 560 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,280 Speaker 4: there are some similarities to be drawn here. Nico Montango 561 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 4: is probably the biggest championship underdog in UFC history in 562 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 4: terms of the incumbent as betting underdog. What do you 563 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 4: advise the fighter in that situation? Because you can't help 564 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 4: but have some doubt creep in if you're Montango when 565 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:47,400 Speaker 4: Chevchenko has been almost anointed the champion before she even 566 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,679 Speaker 4: fights for the title, Like, if you're those coaches, forget 567 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 4: the physical stuff mentally, what are you trying to say 568 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 4: to Montango to get her head in a good place 569 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 4: so she can go defend this belt and win the fight? 570 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 9: I mean, look, obviously you want to, you know, you 571 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 9: you really want to set up a training schedule for 572 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 9: her where she's you know, where she really learns how 573 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 9: to develop the belief in herself and that you bring 574 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 9: in certain people that could mimic what's going on and whatever. 575 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 9: I think this for Montoyo, it's going to be more 576 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 9: of a head game physically. Yeah, I'm saying as a coach, 577 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 9: she's totally out of that fight. I mean, this is 578 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:27,959 Speaker 9: a weird situation because Valentine is a coldstone killer and 579 00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 9: she's going up against the girl. I think it's different 580 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 9: than Matt's case. Matt was a fighter in the UFC 581 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 9: with a comeback story. This girl really has never gotten 582 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 9: a chance to develop or fight other people in the UFC. 583 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 7: You know, she was on a show with other people 584 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 7: that developed a champion. 585 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 9: I mean, I could almost make a case for the 586 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 9: Athletic Commission saying they're not going to let the fight happen. 587 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 9: I mean, the experience different between these you know what 588 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,439 Speaker 9: I'm saying, Because it's not like Montoyo was in the 589 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 9: UFC and she beat the champion, the current champion. Of course, 590 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 9: they created a division and she became the champion. So 591 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,640 Speaker 9: the odds are really stacked against her. You know, even Matt, 592 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:10,679 Speaker 9: he had to fight other people that were already in 593 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,199 Speaker 9: the UFC, that maybe had notable wins over other people, 594 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 9: there was much more to work with Matt. You know, 595 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 9: he had a pedigree of jiu jitsu at the time, 596 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 9: which was phenomenal. 597 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 7: You know, I'm not seeing this is a really big 598 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 7: challenge for this kid. 599 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,640 Speaker 9: I mean, I would say if Montoya won, that would 600 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 9: be by far the biggest upset ever because I think 601 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 9: she's in a lot of trouble in this fight. But 602 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,480 Speaker 9: to answer your first question, I would just try to 603 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,000 Speaker 9: get squared away and really, you know, along the way 604 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 9: really developed a belief that you could do it, and 605 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 9: to try to find a weakness. 606 00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,160 Speaker 7: In Valentino, which I think is going to be hard 607 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 7: to do. 608 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 9: I mean psychologically with Matt and Saint Pierre, Matt was psychologically. 609 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 7: At a way higher level than George at the time, 610 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 7: you know what I mean. He knew George had certain uh. 611 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 9: Uh you know, like a I think he knew he 612 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 9: George was a nervous fighter because Georgie had coached him 613 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 9: on season four. 614 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,960 Speaker 7: So mentally, I think Matt felt he had a. 615 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 9: Huge advantage going in and that was you know, that's 616 00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:13,239 Speaker 9: a fighter at hart Man. 617 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 7: He was a street fighter. 618 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 5: Had some serious you know, Brazilian elite, Brazilian gents to 619 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 5: black belt knockout power. 620 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 6: He wasn't a one trick pony. There's a lot of 621 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 6: ways that he could have potentially won that fight where 622 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 6: you know Montani here he's out gunned. 623 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 7: I mean, oh no, no, this is a problem. 624 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 9: I'm telling you, Kenny, I could make a case for 625 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 9: the Athletic Commission saying we're not letting the fight happen. 626 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 7: That's how bad it is. 627 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,920 Speaker 9: I mean, that's how I'm feeling, and I don't want 628 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 9: to get down because, like again, I think it's anything 629 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,200 Speaker 9: could happen in MMA. But you know, like what Matt, 630 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 9: Matt was a fena at Henzo Gracis, you know what 631 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:46,480 Speaker 9: I mean. 632 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 7: And George was training this, so I'm sure he. 633 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 9: Had to hear all the stories of guys that would 634 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,080 Speaker 9: tap in him that we're getting killed by Matt. 635 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 7: So we we knew, you know what I'm saying. 636 00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 9: We knew that George thought Matt was gonna want to 637 00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,680 Speaker 9: take this to the floor and had no. We didn't 638 00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 9: have one desire to go to the floor with that fight. 639 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 9: I sweared them away as best I could standing up. 640 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 9: We knew a couple of things. I saw a couple 641 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 9: of things, and he he was the guy that was 642 00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 9: going to exploit it, and that's what we did. But 643 00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 9: I knew that George just hearing about Matt at the 644 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 9: academy to be psychologically debilitating, you know what I mean, 645 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 9: That's what I was banking on anyone. And at that time, 646 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 9: Matt again, I mean, he was one of the best 647 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:31,240 Speaker 9: jiu jitsu black belts there was at the time, you know, 648 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 9: so it was a little different, I think, but Montoyo's 649 00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 9: really got a handsful. 650 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 7: It's like it's a I think it's a totally different thing. Yeah. 651 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,520 Speaker 4: No, And I did not intend to force the parallel 652 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 4: and Matt Sarah will probably again, No, it's good. 653 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,480 Speaker 7: That you did.

I didn't want to watch Chris watching 679 00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 9: a highlight tape of that guy because that guy had 680 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 9: a highlight reel from hell, you know what I mean. 681 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 9: It's hard to get your head when you're looking at 682 00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,240 Speaker 9: this guy humiliating people over the list seven years. So right, 683 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 9: I would look, I'm gonna, if i'm hook coach, I'm 684 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,080 Speaker 9: gonna find one thing that I think is a weakness, 685 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 9: and that's all I'm gonna base everything around, and it's 686 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,920 Speaker 9: gonna be kind of like a hail Mary you're gonna 687 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,000 Speaker 9: have to take a shot. There's nothing else she could do. 688 00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 9: But I mean, she just doesn't have the chops to 689 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 9: be in there with that girl right now. I don't 690 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 9: think in one area or this fight. 691 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 4: Well, we'll find out UFC two twenty eight, September eighth. 692 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,520 Speaker 4: The next week, Ray an opportunity for you to win 693 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 4: another scene out, Darren till Tyron Woodley will get the 694 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 4: pick from you next Monday.

It's crazy. 699 00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,240 Speaker 7: I'm thinking the money and run. I'm not a gambler. 700 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:44,640 Speaker 7: I want my money. 701 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 4: Oh wait, Yo, you want an opportunity to cash out 702 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 4: right now?

I'm telling you I'm cashing out. 705 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 8: Okay. 706 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 4: I might have to figure out a way to change 707 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 4: the stakes, because I was hoping you could get this 708 00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,080 Speaker 4: thing up to a I'm or something and then we're 709 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 4: really making money here. But I know you got a 710 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 4: busy day. I know you had a bad pad session 711 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 4: this morning.

They'll be here next week. 719 00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 8: Thank you. 720 00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 9: Ray. 721 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:32,479 Speaker 8: All right. 722 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,720 Speaker 4: Ray long ago with us every week here on the 723 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 4: Anakin Florian Podcast, and interesting conversation developed there, Kenny in 724 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,960 Speaker 4: terms of Matt, Sarah, George, Saint Pierre, but Nico Montango 725 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:47,600 Speaker 4: and Valentina Chipchenko. I brought it up because seemingly Nico 726 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,560 Speaker 4: Montagno is really up against it come September eighth, not 727 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 4: not just in terms of the betting odds, but just 728 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,280 Speaker 4: in terms of what type of performance she's gonna have 729 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 4: to put forth to beat Valentina Chefchenko. So I just 730 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,520 Speaker 4: would ask you as an mma mind, as I asked 731 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,320 Speaker 4: Ray as a coach, like what do you do to 732 00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 4: try to hammer in some self belief and just to 733 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 4: give your fighter, even though she's up against it, the 734 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 4: best chance to try to shock the world. 735 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:16,800 Speaker 5: Right Listen, I don't know the whole thing about self believe. 736 00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:18,959 Speaker 5: If you get if you get a fighter who is 737 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 5: not confident in themselves, I don't know if they should 738 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:22,200 Speaker 5: be there in the first place. 739 00:33:22,240 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 6: I think the best approach. 740 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:27,320 Speaker 5: Is to show them what they need to do technically 741 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 5: to win the fight, where they need to stay away 742 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 5: from the dangers of a Valentiner to Chevchenko, for example, 743 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 5: and what they need to do fundamentally to win that fight. 744 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,680 Speaker 5: That's not easy either, that's the problem. You know, Chevchenko's 745 00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,960 Speaker 5: coming in here with so much experience. But also I 746 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,040 Speaker 5: think if you're going to talk about the mental aspect, 747 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,000 Speaker 5: you hammer home the fact that she was the underdog 748 00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 5: on The Ultimate Fighter. No one really gave her a chance. 749 00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,040 Speaker 5: She didn't have a whole lot of experience, but she 750 00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 5: went out there and won the fight anyway. She won 751 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,840 Speaker 5: each in every fight, and she was the underdog every 752 00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:01,680 Speaker 5: single time out. 753 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:04,080 Speaker 6: So I think you kind of hammer that home more 754 00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 6: than anything else. 755 00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 5: But I think you got to talk about the technical 756 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 5: skills that she needs to win that fight more than 757 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,560 Speaker 5: the mental aspects. I think she's mentally tough. I think 758 00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,960 Speaker 5: she proved that in the Ultimate Fighter. 759 00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 8: Yep. 760 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:17,239 Speaker 4: And next week we will get a prediction from can 761 00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:19,840 Speaker 4: Flow and he'll tell you and outline what Nico Montania 762 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,719 Speaker 4: does need to do strategically to defy the odds and 763 00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 4: be the first woman in UFC history to successfully defend 764 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:30,320 Speaker 4: the women's flyweight Championship. All right, a couple other things, 765 00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 4: few items on Lincoln and then a couple other headlines, 766 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 4: time permitting Davis and Figueto. A winner by TKO over 767 00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 4: John Moraga. So if you don't know this Brazilian flyweight contender, 768 00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:42,640 Speaker 4: you're gonna hear the name soon. Just don't ask me 769 00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 4: to spell it. I can say it. But he's fifteen 770 00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,320 Speaker 4: and oh can Flow thirteen finishes four and oh in 771 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,840 Speaker 4: the UFC third knockout in the UFC A stoppage of 772 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:53,400 Speaker 4: the UFC test to John Moraga over the weekend. I 773 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,920 Speaker 4: know you're not all in yet on Figa Eddo, but 774 00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 4: certainly another injection of nice talent into a division that 775 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 4: could use it. 776 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:02,080 Speaker 5: I got my feet in the water though. I tell 777 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 5: you that I think this is a guy who can go. 778 00:35:04,960 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 5: He's aggressive, he's always looking for the finish. I was 779 00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 5: impressed with him, you know, I said in the pre 780 00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:12,040 Speaker 5: Fight Show. But this is a guy that it seems 781 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,760 Speaker 5: like you wind him up, you put some powerful batteries 782 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,120 Speaker 5: in him, you slap him on the ass, and he 783 00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,760 Speaker 5: goes out there and fights and he does not stop moving. Wow, 784 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:23,880 Speaker 5: what a problem that guy is. He is fun to watch, man, exciting, 785 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 5: He's got skills everywhere. And again he beat a guy 786 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,359 Speaker 5: in Moraga who's pretty damn tough, and he made it 787 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,560 Speaker 5: look very easy. Just crushed him with the elbow, That's 788 00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,399 Speaker 5: really what started it. Then he took him down with 789 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 5: some other punches that put him down. Man, unbelievable. 790 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,239 Speaker 4: Yeah, he's an exciting fighter to watch it. I think 791 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:45,600 Speaker 4: he has a style that a lot of fans are 792 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,560 Speaker 4: gonna be able to relate to. And Moraga man just 793 00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:50,360 Speaker 4: so tough, you know. And then throwing a spinning backfist 794 00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,480 Speaker 4: I believe of his own that sort of put him 795 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 4: back in the fight. 796 00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,320 Speaker 8: That one had a lot of different layers. 797 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:57,240 Speaker 4: But I just think when you look at this flyway 798 00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 4: division now that is run by Henry Shudo, Alex Perez 799 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,320 Speaker 4: who was on the show recently, Jared Brooks, Jose Torres, 800 00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,319 Speaker 4: there are a lot of young talented flyweights that I'm 801 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 4: excited to see going forward. All right, Tony Ferguson, we 802 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:10,920 Speaker 4: led the show with him last weekend. Fo he now 803 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,719 Speaker 4: has an opponent. It'll be Anthony Showtime Pettis UFC two 804 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,319 Speaker 4: twenty nine. That's the co main event on the night 805 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,120 Speaker 4: that Conor McGregor fights. Got even Dermago medow. I love 806 00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 4: that Ferguson is on this timeline. I love that he 807 00:36:21,520 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 4: is on this fight card and seems like he felt 808 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:28,120 Speaker 4: disrespected by Team Pettis back in twenty fourteen when both 809 00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 4: of these guys competed and won by submission at UFC 810 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,360 Speaker 4: one to eighty one. So nice little backdrop to this 811 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,319 Speaker 4: comine event. And as we said last week, El Kukui's back. 812 00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,320 Speaker 4: He now has an opponent. 813 00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,000 Speaker 6: This is a fight, man. I love this fight. 814 00:36:40,080 --> 00:36:43,640 Speaker 5: I saw this announcement from Pettis earlier and I said, whoa, 815 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:47,160 Speaker 5: because not only is this a great fight for Pettest 816 00:36:47,239 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 5: to really get back in the mix. 817 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,840 Speaker 6: Obviously his last fight was phenomenal. 818 00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:53,279 Speaker 5: That was the Anthony Pettis that I think a lot 819 00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,360 Speaker 5: of people have been waiting for for the last few years. 820 00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 5: He showed up, He looked great, He's in the right division, 821 00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,880 Speaker 5: He's no longer fighting at one forty five, and Ferguson 822 00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,360 Speaker 5: does make mistakes. He's not the most technical guy, but 823 00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,440 Speaker 5: he is very, very tough. He's a guy that, of course, 824 00:37:07,480 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 5: can give a lot of problems to Anthony Pettis. I 825 00:37:09,880 --> 00:37:12,960 Speaker 5: could see Ferguson finishing this one, but I can also 826 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 5: see Pettis getting to finish in this one as well. 827 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 5: If that last Petus showed up man, a win over 828 00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,560 Speaker 5: Ferguson would put him right into the top five. All 829 00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 5: of a sudden, it seems that is a risky fight 830 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,840 Speaker 5: for Tony Ferguson. You look at everything that Tony Ferguson 831 00:37:27,880 --> 00:37:31,400 Speaker 5: has done, all of his wins, all his momentum, all 832 00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,600 Speaker 5: of his consistency, and he's taken on a guy and 833 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 5: in Pettis who has just recently found his form. Again, 834 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 5: that's a tough one. But again, you know Ferguson, He's 835 00:37:41,160 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 5: not gonna say no to a fight, right And that's 836 00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 5: the rub for me. 837 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 4: This is just a fighters fighter, because if he wanted 838 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 4: to bide his time and allow himself more time to 839 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:54,800 Speaker 4: heal and try to return in a championship setting, Ferguson 840 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,799 Speaker 4: would certainly have a case to do that right. It's 841 00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 4: a double digit win streak that he's putting on the 842 00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:01,600 Speaker 4: line against Anthony Showtime at us in a dangerous fight. 843 00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 8: As you mentioned. I absolutely love it. 844 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,319 Speaker 4: And hopefully Ferguson doesn't realize the championship opportunity that night, 845 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 4: because that would. 846 00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:11,360 Speaker 8: Mean that either kabieber Connor was unable to compete. 847 00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,759 Speaker 4: But I just love this lightweight force them now that 848 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 4: sits atop the pay per view at UFC two twenty nine, 849 00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,200 Speaker 4: all right, at top of the pay per view UFC 850 00:38:18,320 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 4: two thirty two. 851 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:19,600 Speaker 6: End of the year. 852 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,440 Speaker 4: This was announced between our last show last Tuesday and 853 00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,640 Speaker 4: our show today. Chris Cyborg, Amanda NOONEZ, it shall be done. 854 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,960 Speaker 4: NOONEZ asked for some extra time to put on some 855 00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,560 Speaker 4: weight for what is absolutely a super fight between champions. 856 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 4: Here asking you shall receive So Amanda None is engaged 857 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,080 Speaker 4: to Nina answer off and she has a date with 858 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,560 Speaker 4: Chris Cyborg before the year is out. Your thoughts on 859 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:42,640 Speaker 4: the UFC Featherweight Championship fight coming up at two thirty two. 860 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:45,320 Speaker 5: History in the making. This is the first female super 861 00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:49,640 Speaker 5: fight in the UFC. It is amazing. Listen, these are 862 00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 5: the only two ladies that can beat each other. In 863 00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,880 Speaker 5: my opinion, you look at skill wise, the experience that 864 00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 5: they have. I don't know if there's anyone out there 865 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,920 Speaker 5: who could beat Amana Nunez, and I don't think there's 866 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 5: anyone out there who could beat Cyborg. These two ladies 867 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:07,920 Speaker 5: can get it done. They have tremendous firepower. They're strong 868 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:11,839 Speaker 5: for their divisions, they're big for their divisions. Both good 869 00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,600 Speaker 5: on the ground. This is a fight that had to happen. 870 00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 5: They've been talking about it now for the last couple 871 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:20,439 Speaker 5: of years. They both finally signed signed on the dotted line, 872 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 5: and I'm happy that they did. Man, this is a 873 00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:26,200 Speaker 5: tremendous fight. And again, these are women who know how 874 00:39:26,239 --> 00:39:28,600 Speaker 5: to deliver action. They become a little bit more patient 875 00:39:28,680 --> 00:39:31,440 Speaker 5: the last couple of years. They would, you know, typically 876 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,360 Speaker 5: take out their opposition with tremendous ferocity, but they become 877 00:39:35,360 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 5: more patient that they know how to let their hands 878 00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 5: go and when to let their hands go, and when 879 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,879 Speaker 5: they do that, they will most likely take you out. 880 00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:46,520 Speaker 5: This is a very interesting fight, and I think it's 881 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:48,040 Speaker 5: a little bit more difficult to call. 882 00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:51,480 Speaker 4: And then people realize, right, and I think the betting 883 00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,960 Speaker 4: line will dovetail with that assessment, and it isn't Cyborg 884 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,600 Speaker 4: versus Rousey, but I think for a lot of mixed 885 00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 4: martial arts fans, this is the most excited day will 886 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,239 Speaker 4: ever be for a women's fight. I cannot wait to 887 00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:04,959 Speaker 4: see it. I can't wait to see the betting line 888 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,200 Speaker 4: when it comes out. I can't wait to see what 889 00:40:07,239 --> 00:40:10,240 Speaker 4: type of physical changes Amanda Nonz has made in advance 890 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,880 Speaker 4: of this particular challenge. And for Chris Cyborg Kenny, this 891 00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 4: will be the second time in as many years that 892 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 4: she will headline that year end showcase event for the UFC, 893 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,279 Speaker 4: and I give her a lot of credit for moving 894 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,399 Speaker 4: the pay per view needle and the UFC for having 895 00:40:22,400 --> 00:40:25,560 Speaker 4: the confidence to give her that opportunity. But there's a 896 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:28,160 Speaker 4: lot of talk out there about Cyborg's fighting prime and 897 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 4: how during her fighting prime, which she is experiencing right now, 898 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,799 Speaker 4: she can't fight every three months right like she is 899 00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:37,319 Speaker 4: as willing as any champion. We have to get back 900 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,919 Speaker 4: in there on a regular schedule, competing three or four 901 00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 4: times a year, and she cannot do that. From a 902 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 4: monetary standpoint, you could argue the best thing for Cyborg 903 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,520 Speaker 4: would be to lose to Amanda Nunez, so she can 904 00:40:47,600 --> 00:40:50,560 Speaker 4: run it back with you, right, And like, so, I 905 00:40:50,600 --> 00:40:53,600 Speaker 4: know Chris Cyborg moves the needle, but if she wins 906 00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 4: this fight against Amanda Nenez and it's dominant, a lot 907 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 4: of people are gonna say the cupboard is bear for 908 00:40:57,760 --> 00:40:58,680 Speaker 4: Cyborg once again. 909 00:40:58,840 --> 00:41:01,200 Speaker 5: And can we say that this far is really for 910 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:05,319 Speaker 5: legendary status because the woman who wins this fight is 911 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:08,240 Speaker 5: going to be the greatest female fighter ever in the UFC. 912 00:41:08,480 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 5: I think it's pretty safe to say, based on the 913 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,240 Speaker 5: skills that they possess and the women that they've beaten, 914 00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:17,479 Speaker 5: I think that that's what's on the line, even more 915 00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:18,839 Speaker 5: than that belt. 916 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:22,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I would agree, Chris Iborgamanda None is coming 917 00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:23,719 Speaker 4: up at the end of the year. I think it's 918 00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 4: December twenty eighth or twenty ninth, Team Mobile Arena in 919 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:28,880 Speaker 4: Las Vegas, SORR final thing before we go today. 920 00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:32,840 Speaker 8: Connor McGregor, c Bebnrmago Medov forty days out. 921 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:35,360 Speaker 4: So it seems like a lot of the masses feel 922 00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 4: like you have already picked Connor McGregor to win this fight. 923 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:39,120 Speaker 6: I know you have. 924 00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,280 Speaker 4: Well I don't know, but I think I might deserve 925 00:41:43,440 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 4: some blame because I hinted on our show that it 926 00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:51,799 Speaker 4: seemed to me that your early analysis was moving in 927 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:55,799 Speaker 4: that direction. But forty days out, you haven't made your determination. 928 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:58,200 Speaker 4: You haven't watched all the film and correct me if 929 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 4: I'm wrong, But you could absolutely go either way, and 930 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,200 Speaker 4: you really don't know where you're gonna go. Come the 931 00:42:04,239 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 4: first week of oufll. 932 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,919 Speaker 5: Listen style if anything, style wise, I'm leading towards Habib 933 00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 5: and Nermaga Manov, So I find that interesting. But just mentally, 934 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,879 Speaker 5: this is a very different fight than Habib has had 935 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 5: to deal with. And now you look at these recent 936 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 5: comments from Conna McGregor. He Connor McGregor, you know, this 937 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:24,120 Speaker 5: guy is like a psychologist. He looks at where you're weak, 938 00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 5: or where you might be vulnerable, or where what might 939 00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:29,080 Speaker 5: agitate you the most, and he goes at that. He 940 00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,719 Speaker 5: goes at you repeatedly. He is going to poke that 941 00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:34,719 Speaker 5: cut repeatedly. What is he He's talking about the doc 942 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:38,719 Speaker 5: his relationship between the Dakistanis and the Chechens, and that's like. 943 00:42:38,640 --> 00:42:42,520 Speaker 6: A you know, a long history of. 944 00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:47,840 Speaker 5: Let's say bitterness and kind of you know, he's attacking 945 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,239 Speaker 5: that whole angle, and I think it's really smart. On 946 00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 5: the part of Connor McGregor in some ways. I think 947 00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 5: Habib is probably gonna recognize that he's a guy that's 948 00:42:55,640 --> 00:42:59,239 Speaker 5: pretty cold blooded man. He doesn't really get faced by 949 00:42:59,280 --> 00:43:01,319 Speaker 5: things like that. But if there's something he's going to 950 00:43:01,320 --> 00:43:05,560 Speaker 5: get phased about, it's probably that kind of history, the Russian, 951 00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 5: Dagistani Chechen history, which Connor has been kind of attacking 952 00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 5: Habib with. He's starting to attack his father a little bit. 953 00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 5: So those are the things that people from that culture 954 00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:22,200 Speaker 5: are going to take offense to. So Connor is starting 955 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 5: to ramp it up a little bit psychologically on Habib. 956 00:43:25,560 --> 00:43:28,520 Speaker 5: Namaga metoff and it's gonna be interesting to see how 957 00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,359 Speaker 5: Habib deals with that. That's something he really hasn't had 958 00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,280 Speaker 5: to deal with before. He had a little bit obviously 959 00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 5: with Tony Ferguson, but in a completely different way, you know, 960 00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 5: just trash talking. 961 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:40,720 Speaker 6: This is a different level. 962 00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 4: September is just going to rip off the calendar when 963 00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:46,959 Speaker 4: we're here next week, we'll be previewing UFC two twenty 964 00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 4: eight in the next pay per view forty days from 965 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:53,200 Speaker 4: right now.
