We appreciate anyway 26 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: that you listen. All right, let's begin here first, Randy 27 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:23,720 Speaker 1: Brown defeating Chaos Williams. The decision was a split one 28 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: nine twenty eight. I think the reason that the decision 29 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: went to Brown's way was he got rocked slash dropped 30 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 1: in the first round, which may have given it to 31 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: him to Chaos Williams, and he got dropped in the 32 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: third round. Randy Brown did, but the difference was after 33 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: he got dropped in the third round, which was a 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: very decisive moment, or at least a very important and 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 1: pivotal moment. The difference came afterwards when he really kind 36 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: of put it on him. Randy Brown did really working 37 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: quite well after that, visibly, you know, snapping back the 38 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: head of Chaos Williams. What was kind of interesting was 39 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: Brown was playing a lot of sort of showmanship games 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: and like shoulder rolling and trunk movement and head and 41 00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: movement and slipping and whatnot, and a lot of it 42 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 1: was pretty good. Especially as the fight wore on he 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: got a little bit better about it. But if you notice, 44 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: his stance was kind of interesting at first. He would 45 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: have a square stance at times to kind of reach 46 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 1: with the cross, but then to get into range right 47 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: because they were pretty far apart, to get into range, 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:25,800 Speaker 1: he would get into more of a bladed stance, and 49 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: then he would pendulum step his way into range, which 50 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 1: you noticed with the first round when he gets caught 51 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: he bends at the waist to avoid punishment, which is 52 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: like totally correct, there's nothing. 53 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:35,920 Speaker 2: Wrong with that. 54 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: But then he kind of comes up and I don't 55 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 1: know if he two things occurred to me one and 56 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 1: you see him get it right later when he pendulum 57 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: steps at a bladed stance where he's so he's sort 58 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: of very shoulder dominant, he's very much not square, it's 59 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: the opposite of square, and he steps. 60 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: Into range there a little bit. 61 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: What enables him to do later in the fight was 62 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: he gets out of the way of the left hook, 63 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: so he bends over at the waist, and then later 64 00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: in the fight you'll see him lean all the way 65 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: back to get out of the way the right hook, 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: because Kaos Williams throws these really wide hooks, and sometimes 67 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: they're not super wide, but they're not really linear. They're 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: not a whole lot coming down the middle. They're very 69 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: much on the outside like that. And so when he 70 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: got caught the first time, he stepped into range, ducked 71 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: out of the way of the left, but then didn't 72 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: fully raise his posture back out and exit. Later on 73 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: the fight he kind of fixed that. So one of 74 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 1: the earlier problems was he kind of stayed in range, 75 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: kind of stayed in in the wrong posture. For subsequent shots, 76 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: he was just right there to be hit. He got 77 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 1: better about it as the fight wore on, so you know, 78 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: it was a good adjustment by him to use proper 79 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: movement in the way over time, but he had a 80 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 1: little bit of trouble with it early. A lot of 81 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 1: folks don't like the show voting. The showboating is sort 82 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: of I don't really mind it personally. I was glad 83 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: to see him use this jab. I thought his jab 84 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 1: was great again once he sorted the movement, because the 85 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 1: thing about it is is when you do that kind 86 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: of movement to get in and out of range. 87 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: You remember it. 88 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: And he did this too, by the way, as the 89 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: fight war on. I want to be clear, Andy Brown 90 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: did do this, but it looked like early the problem 91 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 1: was one he had kind of bumped Chaos Williams when 92 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: he had come when he in their first round when 93 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: he got dropped, so it actually created a little bit 94 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: of space for Williams to hit him. I don't know 95 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: if that was intentional or not. I don't think it was. 96 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: And again he didn't quite write his posture. He didn't 97 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 1: get beated and duck and they get all the way out. 98 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: But the other thing was he wasn't doing was he 99 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: wasn't And again he did do it eventually, but early 100 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,440 Speaker 1: he wasn't exactly rolling that. You don't have to move 101 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 1: your feet necessarily to roll. You can shift your weight 102 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: back to front and that's okay. But a lot of 103 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: times what you'll see boxers do, for example, it looks 104 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,679 Speaker 1: like he's being heavily influenced by boxing training. 105 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 2: At a bare minimum is they. 106 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 1: Will roll and step and then they can use that 107 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: step to angle off. They can do all kinds of stuff. 108 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: They don't just keep their feet planted and roll. You 109 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 1: can do that. It's not necessarily wrong. Again, all different 110 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: defenses for all different kinds of scenarios. It's just it 111 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 1: just as a function of what makes the most sense 112 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,799 Speaker 1: for what you're trying to do and what the opponent 113 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 1: is offering you. But when he began to roll with it, 114 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 1: and so he could step backwards right, he could step 115 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 1: forward to to to dodge the left hook, and then 116 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: he could step and lean backwards to get out of it, 117 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: or you know, step across underneath the hook, as opposed 118 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,720 Speaker 1: to just kind of rolling and staying in position. That 119 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: aided him a lot. It got him out of the 120 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 1: way of a lot of things he wanted to do. 121 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,039 Speaker 1: So I think the thing that dropped him in the 122 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: first round was he was just way too didn't have 123 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: the didn't have the proper upright position, and he wasn't 124 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: stepping around or stepping back. He was just kind of 125 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 1: staying in position. He was just bending at the waist 126 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: and then coming back up. I think that cost him. 127 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 2: A little bit. 128 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: So the scores were a little bit closer than what 129 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: I thought their ability showed. I thought Chaos Williams showed 130 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: great power and good patience, but william to me, Brown 131 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: was the superior your striker of the two by a 132 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: pretty considerable margin, even if he got hit a couple times. Obviously, 133 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 1: the bigger power puncher of the two is going to 134 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: be Chaos Williams. The thing that kind of surprised me 135 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: later in the fight was that Williams just there was 136 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: just not a lot of fainting. There's a little bit 137 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 1: of it, not a lot of it, And it kind 138 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: of seemed to me like he had to find a 139 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,919 Speaker 1: way to either close the distance on Brown, or to 140 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: get Brown to freeze, or to know something to get 141 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: Brown to stop the flow stating, and again he does 142 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: have big power. When he was able to connect, it mattered, 143 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: but not enough to get two of the three judges 144 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,600 Speaker 1: to look his way. So I appreciate what Brown was trying. 145 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: I think again, as the fight wore on, he got 146 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: a lot better about it. But go back and watch 147 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: the first knockdown. He'll bend and then not come all 148 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 1: the way back up or even out of the way, 149 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: and so as a consequence, he gets clipped. As the 150 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: fight wears on, he is better about bending and shifting 151 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,719 Speaker 1: back or bending and rolling with a step and I 152 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: think that made a big difference in the end. Francisco 153 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: Trinaldo defeating Danny Roberts an animous decision, twenty nine, twenty 154 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: eight thirty two seven thirty twenty six. Incredible job. 155 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 2: You know, the. 156 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: First round I thought probably could have like Danny Roberts 157 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: had a claim on the first round, but I think 158 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: he got rocked in that one too. Maybe he got 159 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: rocked in the second. Here here's the real story of 160 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: the fight. Once Trinaldo got a read on the timing 161 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 1: of Roberts, it was over and he got it mostly. 162 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: You saw a big demonstration of it towards the end 163 00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: of the first and then really it kicks off in 164 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: the second. That's when he really got it. He was 165 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: able to rock him with that jab in between his strikes. 166 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: That was really the story of the show. What Trinaldo 167 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 1: was trying was in the first round, you can see 168 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: him looking for stuff. He can't quite get it going 169 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Danny Roberts using a lot of lateral movement in and out, 170 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 1: that kind of a thing being a difficult target to find. 171 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: But once Tronaldo figured out what kind of strikes he 172 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: was gonna throw and what the timing was on them. 173 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 2: He was off to the races. 174 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: That's when he began to slip and throw over the top, 175 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: that's what. And he began to punch with him knowing 176 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,679 Speaker 1: his defense would be open, that's when he would wait 177 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: and go in between his strike. So he was going 178 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 1: at the end, going with him in between all the 179 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: different moments in a particular exchange where he knew he 180 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 1: was going to be open and he was just ready 181 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 1: for it, and then from there he could blast him 182 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: to the body. You saw that vicious body shot that 183 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: kind of crumpled him a little bit later in the fight. 184 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 1: The thing it got, the thing that's sort of surprised 185 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 1: me was Trinaldo's clinch is pretty strong, and again, like 186 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: Charles Lavera, he sort of goes back and in between 187 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: it depending on what he wants to do and what 188 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: kind of attacks he's trying to set up or what's 189 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: available to him. But there's a lot of grabbing the head, 190 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: grabbing the shoulders, firing an underhook, that sort of a thing. 191 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 1: And so I thought Danny Roberts, if you look at 192 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: the first round, was doing his best work at distance. 193 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: So if his best work is at distance, how does 194 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: he get back there somewhat surprising to me that I 195 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: did not see Roberts do a lot of fainting in 196 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: the third round. I did not see him trying to 197 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: do anything than mixing up the strikes in terms of 198 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: you know what they looked or whatever to get going. 199 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: Like Randy Brown was trying to play with his rhythm. 200 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: There's a lot of rhythm changes from Randy Brown in 201 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: the previous fight. Trinaldo really wasn't doing that. He was 202 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 1: just sort of not stationary. 203 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: He was. 204 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: Definitely not stationary. He was moving side to side. What 205 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean to say is he wasn't trying those tactics. 206 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,559 Speaker 1: So I thought Danny Roberts might might try rhythm changing right, 207 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: might try fainting to set up something, get out of 208 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: the way of something, freeze Toronaldo, get him to block, 209 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: and there just wasn't a whole lot of it. So 210 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 1: Tronaldo in the first round, you'll notice a lot of 211 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: elbow blocking and high guard that he was implementing to 212 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 1: get out of the way of some of the stuff 213 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,640 Speaker 1: that Danny Roberts was throwing, and some of the stuff 214 00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 1: Dani Roberts was throwing the first round really got through. 215 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: That round was the most competitive certainly of the three. 216 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: I could see how you could give it to Toronaldo. 217 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: I could see how you can make a case for 218 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 1: it for Danny Roberts. But what I would say was 219 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: I was very surprised that by the third round there 220 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: was not a ton of fainting from Roberts to get 221 00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,599 Speaker 1: Trinaldo to do anything different than what he was like 222 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 1: to me, me, you know this is of course, I'm 223 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: just sitting on my stupid office chair. 224 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:04,439 Speaker 2: Very easy for me to say this. 225 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: This doesn't mean a whole lot, but I'm just sort 226 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: of pointing out as a general rule. Second round was 227 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: pretty clear Toronaldo had his timing, and Tronaldo could work 228 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 1: from all the spaces. He could work from on top 229 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: and half guard, he could work in the clinchil on 230 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 1: the fence line, he could work at range. I mean, 231 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 1: he could work in all the spaces. So if you're 232 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: gonna work at range with the guy, where you know, 233 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 1: where was Danny Roberts doing his best work. It was 234 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 1: at kickboxing range more or less, sort of boxing rang ish. 235 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: If that's your best range and now the guy has 236 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: kind of figured out your timing, you have to shake 237 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: something up. You'd have to go for a takedown and 238 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: get it, or you need to faint your way into 239 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: getting this guy confused and looking for something that's not there. 240 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 1: And you know, again, it's very easy for me to 241 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 1: sit here and say that that's the thing he should do, 242 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 1: and he didn't do it, and therefore blah blah blah. 243 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: But you know, I would be curious, like what would 244 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: be the alternative to that, right, Like, if that is 245 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 1: wrong for whatever reason, what would be the better approach 246 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: to getting Toronaldo. 247 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: To do what he was doing? 248 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: Because by the third round, he was in the for 249 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,360 Speaker 1: his own folks, he was very much understanding what was 250 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: coming his way, what he needed to do, how to 251 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: get around it, what it looked like, all that stuff. 252 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 1: He could do all of it. And so for that reason, 253 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 1: it just seems to me like there was probably would 254 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: have been a better way to go about doing things 255 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: by the third round. Again, easier said than done. He 256 00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: was hurt, he was rocked. He's doing his best. But Trinaldo, 257 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 1: and they made a point of the broadcast about this, 258 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 1: and I really agreed, Trinaldo. You know, yes, he's older, 259 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 1: but he doesn't look too much different than he did 260 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: at his peak or whatever his peak was, like, he 261 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: still seems to be, you know, shockingly, he's still quite 262 00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 1: physically adept. I'm sure he slowed somewhat. I'm sure he 263 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: doesn't have the same reaction time, but it was plenty 264 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: for this fight. 265 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 2: It was plenty. 266 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: Took him about a more or less around, maybe a 267 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: little bit less to find his bearings, and then he 268 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: was off to the races after that. Still has good power, 269 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: as I mentioned, still strong, still can do a lot 270 00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: of different things. But Danny Roberts had to shake something 271 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 1: up in that third round, either with a takedown or 272 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: with fainting and faking, you know, making Tronaldo think that 273 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: like all of that timing he had figured out was 274 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: now gone. How do you do that? What's another way 275 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: to do that? Those would have been the things that 276 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 1: I would have pointed to. They didn't really show up. 277 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: So Toronaldo gets the win. Nice win by him. Incredible 278 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: that at forty three and then one hundred and seventy 279 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: pounds he is still this active. That is extremely unusual. 280 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: All right. 281 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: We go to flyweight now, Brandon Reuvale taking on Matt Schnell. 282 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: He wins via guillotine choke at twoin fourteen of the 283 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: first round. I mean, look, I don't really know what 284 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: there is to say about this. There's a couple things 285 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: I'll point out, but the one thing I did want 286 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: to say was apparently Matt Schnell had lost his mother 287 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: prior to the contest. 288 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: She had passed away. 289 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: And I'll just say to anyone who's lost a parent, mom, dad, whatever, 290 00:12:43,040 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: you know, any kind of very close loved one, you know, 291 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: I would not have recommended fighting. This isn't to say 292 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 1: that folks have not done it before, or excuse me, 293 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: this is not to say, Rather that folks have done 294 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: it before, and one that that is true, they have 295 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,400 Speaker 1: and you know, are, if nothing the toughest, you know, 296 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: some of the most resilient people you'll ever meet in 297 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 1: your life. I put Matchdell in that category quite obviously. 298 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: You know, he did rock Brandon Rouville in this fight, 299 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 1: and he even though you know, it didn't go his way. 300 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 1: So it wasn't like he got you know, totally outclassed 301 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: or something like that. But you know, in a fight, 302 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: you need to have real clear headed decision making right 303 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: in a fight, you need to be as calm centered. Yes, 304 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: a lot of it will be muscle memory, right, a 305 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: lot of it will be instinct to a lot of degrees, 306 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: But a lot of that happens just from a state 307 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 1: of readiness, and that readiness is a function of doing 308 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:48,040 Speaker 1: your homework, of the repetition of everything. But still, you 309 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: do need to be clear headed about thinking through problems, 310 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 1: especially in the grappling department, where it's a series of 311 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 1: your next move is very perilous. You must get this 312 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: one right, you know, And I just I would I 313 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: would not have recommended fighting, you know. I know what 314 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: losing my mother did to me. And granted sometimes they 315 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: can happen under tragic circumstances, sometimes they can be widely expected. 316 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: I really don't think that that matters, at least not 317 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: for job performance. In the immediate passing of a loved one, 318 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: You're just not going to be at your best. You're 319 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: not going to be ready again. There are there are exceptions, 320 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: but those exceptions, to me prove the rule. So I 321 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: certainly understand to a degree. Anyway, Matt Channell's willingness to 322 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: continue and fight his way through this. I respect the 323 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 1: commitment to it. I really do. I think he was 324 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: trying to do the promoter a solid plus himself. He 325 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,480 Speaker 1: probably wanted to get paid. Like you know, there's a 326 00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: lot of factors that go into It's not as easy 327 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: as me sitting here saying, oh, you shouldn't fight because 328 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 1: you're not going to be at your best. I mean, 329 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: those those aren't often the reasons why fighters do or 330 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 1: don't take fights, but just sort of realizing, like maybe 331 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: Brandon Royville wins. 332 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: Ten times out of ten. That may be your opinion, but. 333 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 1: I would really submit to you, I am. I am 334 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,840 Speaker 1: quite certain we did not get the very best matchannel here. 335 00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure about that. That being said, he does 336 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 1: drop Rouval. Rouville has a lot of openings in the 337 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: stand up department by virtue of the way he competes. 338 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: His chin is a little bit in the air. I 339 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:12,320 Speaker 1: think he stays in position to a little bit too long. 340 00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,239 Speaker 1: But on the ground, folks, he is just so dynamite. 341 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 1: Didn't really you know, and again getting back to metional situation, 342 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: didn't really agree with him jumping guillotine or taking the 343 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: guillotine here. I know it might be a big feather 344 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 1: in your cap to get a guillotine like that, especially 345 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 1: after you rock a guy, but Brendan Rerouville just lives 346 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: in those moments. And again it's like, Oh, I'm gonna 347 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 1: enter the grappling world, but I'm gonna enter it on 348 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 1: advantageous terms, and I'm gonna go for the guillotine. He's 349 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 1: gonna roll, I'm gonna end up in mount This is 350 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 1: gonna be great. But do Rouville like understand something. If 351 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: you're a guillotine specialist, that doesn't just mean you know 352 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: all the best mechanisms to get your biceps in a 353 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,600 Speaker 1: certain way in the hands and the grips and which 354 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: one is the best and all that kind of stuff. 355 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: All that's true too. But part of being a specialist 356 00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: in something, whether it's the armbar or the guillotine, is 357 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: that you're gonna face a lot of different forms of 358 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 1: resistance to it from different types of people. Times when 359 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: you're more tired, less tired, side control, full guard, whatever, 360 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: you know that you're gonna have to figure out all 361 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: the different ways in which you want to set up 362 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: and finish this guillotine. People are gonna show you a 363 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: lot of different looks of defense. And so if you 364 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: decide to make it now a grappling fight by jumping 365 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 1: guillotine on a guy, or trying to take a guillotine, 366 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: or roll using the gullotine even to roll to them out. 367 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 1: That dude, you better be iron clad with it, because 368 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: that dude's gonna know all the responses to it. Sure enough, 369 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: he did, he's able to reverse it. Then Matt Schnell 370 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: turns and dives into it, and then he gets his 371 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: neck taken. And I want to point out something. It 372 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: was the right arm of Schnell that did the finishing job. 373 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: I want you to look at again. It wasn't an 374 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 1: arm and guillotine, but it would work, excuse me, and 375 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: sometimes in a very similar way. Look at how he 376 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: buries the right elbow. He drives that thing down and 377 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: the hand was up here by the time he got 378 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: it and pushed it. It was all he needed to do. 379 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: That elbow sunk deep. That thing was so deep, which 380 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: is why you saw tapping with the two hands. 381 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: Dude. 382 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,080 Speaker 1: It's just if once you enter a grappling exchange, you 383 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: do not know how that's going to turn into a 384 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 1: scramble with a guy as good as Brandon Rouville. So 385 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 1: as much as I am very willing and frankly asking 386 00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: all of you to grade Matt Chanel in a curve. 387 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 1: This should still sort of serve as a general warning that, 388 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,439 Speaker 1: you know, if you're going to take the fight to 389 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,239 Speaker 1: the ground with Brandon Royville, even if it starts on 390 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 1: advantageous terms, even very advantageous terms, you should be very 391 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: cautious about it, especially if he's not badly hurt or 392 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: obviously rocked, because he's going to have not just potent offense, 393 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: he's going to have very good defense slash scrambling, slash 394 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,600 Speaker 1: positional switching through the course of that to get back 395 00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,119 Speaker 1: to where he wants. And if you've made it a 396 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,919 Speaker 1: grappling fight, well, now it's just a grappling fight. Be 397 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,959 Speaker 1: very cautious to do that against guys like Brandon Royville. 398 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:01,119 Speaker 1: He has a lot of answers to get back to 399 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: where he wants, even when you start him in a 400 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:08,239 Speaker 1: very disadvantageous way. In the grappling department. We moved now 401 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,080 Speaker 1: to the early prelimbs. How about Lupita Godinez taking on 402 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: Arianni Carnelosa of co excuse me, Arianni Carnelosi. She wins 403 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 1: unanimous decision thirty twenty seven, and then two thirty twenty 404 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 1: six is Lupita Godinez looked awesome in this fight. She 405 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: rocked Carnelosi in the second round. Carnelosi looking quite muscular, 406 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: but there was a massive skill difference here, and I 407 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: want to pay attention to something to go. Dinas had 408 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 1: tremendous takedowns. Take every opponent she's ever fought. I think 409 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,040 Speaker 1: in a win, I want to double check this she has. 410 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: Let's see every even in a loss. Here are the 411 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: number of takedowns she's had per fight against Carnelosi. Eight 412 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:53,159 Speaker 1: against Luke Boonmy which she won, five against Carolina, two 413 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: against Gomez Warez, five against Jessica Penney. Three so she 414 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:01,920 Speaker 1: lost a Penny five via split and she lost to 415 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 1: Luana Carolina fight Vegananimus. She won the rest, so she's 416 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 1: three and two in the UFC. This brought her to 417 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 1: the above five hundred mark. But in all of those 418 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: fights she has numerous takedowns. Now, her takedown accuracy is 419 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: forty six percent. That's about ride dude. Forty seven to 420 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,160 Speaker 1: forty eight percent was where Habibi is. The takedown accuracy 421 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: number is not necessarily the most important number, but take 422 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 1: down average per fifteen minutes. Ready for this one five 423 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,120 Speaker 1: point three seven. I mean, folks, she is a takedown machine. 424 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 1: If you can't handle that, you have a very difficult 425 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,480 Speaker 1: chance of winning. Now, Chessica Penney got to take down herself. 426 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: Luana Carolina good striker. I mean, there's a lot you 427 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 1: can do with that, you know, if you're very, very talented. 428 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: But let it be known, she's going to go for 429 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,359 Speaker 1: the takedown. Her ability to capture it is good plus 430 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: once she gets there. She has strong rides from turtle, 431 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,160 Speaker 1: she's good from half guard, she can pass. She has 432 00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 1: good savage ground and pound. She kind of threatened submissions. 433 00:19:58,520 --> 00:19:59,080 Speaker 2: Let's see. 434 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 1: Submission average point nine per fifteen minutes, so she's good 435 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 1: for one for fifteen minutes. Not not a whole lot 436 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: there necessarily, but it's not necessarily either so that you 437 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,239 Speaker 1: could just disregard. And in this case, Carnelosi just had 438 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 1: really nothing for her. She got rocked in the second 439 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: round early on because her pressure was you know, not 440 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: really could you time it. But it was easy to anticipate, right. 441 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 1: You just knew she was gonna walk into it, which 442 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 1: of course made running through the double even easier for 443 00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 1: Go Dinas, Go Dinas. Folks at strawweight. She might be 444 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: coming around here. I went to was she born nineteen 445 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: ninety three. 446 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 2: She's still fairly young, not too young, but it's pretty young. Actually. 447 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 1: The point I want to make here is I was 448 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 1: really impressed by the wrestling. I was really impressed by 449 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: the control positions. I was really impressed by the physicality 450 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: of her game. She is turning into something special in 451 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: this division. Well, I should say she could be turning 452 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: into something specialist division. You gotta beat people. I don't 453 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: think she's beaten anyone except Luke Boomy, who and who 454 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,600 Speaker 1: has a Wikipedia entry, So there's a little bit of 455 00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 1: work to do in that regard. You know, Silvana Gomez 456 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: Warrez is just not really on the UFC level in 457 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: my judgment, and that fight did not go very long. 458 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 1: Four fourteen of the first all the rest of them, 459 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: this is the one knock right. Three rounds in this win, 460 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: three rounds in the last win, three rounds in the 461 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: previous loss, and then three rounds in the loss to Penny. 462 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 1: There's not quite enough finishing ability. So there's a consistent 463 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,680 Speaker 1: dominant blanket. She's able to lay over her opponent metaphorically speaking. Obviously, 464 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: there's a consistent level of control she's able to establish, 465 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: and she's able to get to it often. Those are 466 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: all great things, the strength, the athleticism, the ground and pound, 467 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: the strength of jiu jitsu, the you know, and the 468 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 1: different kinds of techniques. Like she was able to run 469 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:50,400 Speaker 1: down doubles. How about that elbow lift she was able 470 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: to get, Like Carnelosi was framing here into her, she 471 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 1: was able to lift the elbow up and then past 472 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: her and then not only grab it and then hold it, 473 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,640 Speaker 1: but use it to then turn and off balance. Probably 474 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 1: she was tripping on the feet as well, But just 475 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:05,720 Speaker 1: sort of pointing out like that, that's one takedown. The 476 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,600 Speaker 1: double was another, Like she's got a lot of different 477 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 1: ways to go to she If you give her the underhook, 478 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 1: you're in trouble against her, especially along the fence line 479 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,080 Speaker 1: where you know she doesn't need the fence line to 480 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: get the takedown. But if you give it to her, 481 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: it's just a complete gift. So dominant dominant takedown threat. 482 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: But but as good as she has looked against better opposition, 483 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: there is not enough pushing the fight towards the finish 484 00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 1: or you know, some kind of action that really puts 485 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: them in trouble. What she does is put them at 486 00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: a metaphorical anyway distance. I'm this much better than you, 487 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: and I'm going to maintain it over the course of 488 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,040 Speaker 1: this fight. That's important, that's amazing, that's commendable, that's great. 489 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: That's different. Though, Then not only am I going to 490 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: put distance between us, I'm going to put so much 491 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 1: distance between us, then I'm going to. 492 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 2: Give you. 493 00:22:58,200 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 1: Problems even staying in this contest. I'm just going to 494 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 1: run over you. That to me is a little bit missing. 495 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: So rather than looking for a lot of wrestling rides, 496 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 1: I'd be curious to see if she can find it 497 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: and then use it to break down opposition. Start slashing 498 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: with elbows, maybe move to mount hold mount, something like that, 499 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 1: some kind of way to really devastate the opponents. Because 500 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: the control is there, the ground and pound is fairly there. 501 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: Strikes landed per minute two point two three a little 502 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 1: on the low side, but I've seen worse. I've seen worse, 503 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: but still you get the idea. That's the kind of 504 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: thing I'm looking for. So there's a lot to her 505 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: game that you have to like. Someone from Latin America, 506 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: obviously it's North America, but someone from Latin America who 507 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: can wrestle as well as her, especially in the women's division. 508 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 1: Phenomenal great, It's so great. Lopeita Godinez is worthy of 509 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: taken seriously, but definitely still some parts to her game 510 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,719 Speaker 1: that could be rounded out. Yeah, to be clear, all right. 511 00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:54,840 Speaker 1: And then last, but not least, listen, I'm not going 512 00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 1: to sit here and say horrible things about Ovin Saint 513 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: Prux or Showgun Hua. Ovin Saint Prue wins split decision, 514 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 1: and then thirty twenty seven. I'm not sure I'm said 515 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: in thirty twenty seven, But listen, man, Chogunhua is forty. 516 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: I'm not even sure he should be fighting, to be 517 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: honest with you, He's a legend in the sport. Again, 518 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it. His run through the two thousand 519 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 1: and five Middleweight Grand Prix is the best run that 520 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: anyone's ever had in MMA tournament at any point. He's 521 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,719 Speaker 1: just a phenomenal fighter, and we are lucky to have 522 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: been witnessed to his career. Ovin Saint Prue not on 523 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 1: the same level as Shogun Hua in terms of what 524 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 1: he has meant, you know, tried his hand in heavyweight, 525 00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: came back to light heavyweight, did look better, got the win. 526 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 2: That's great, But wherever Shogun is ranked, this to me. 527 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: Did not look like a guy who's got I know 528 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: what UFC said that Shogun's got a couple of fights, 529 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: maybe one fight left in his career. They're gonna let 530 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: him have it. I don't have an issue with that 531 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: at this point. I mean, what's done is done. You know, 532 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: hopefully they give him an opponent that is not too 533 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: difficult for him to handle. But you know, if this 534 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: was this was if this had taken place in military, 535 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:05,919 Speaker 1: y'all would be killing him for it. 536 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 2: And I wouldn't even blame you either, you know I did. 537 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 2: I understand that, like they had lost. 538 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: The the Joelasan and Cowboy fight, and so they bumped 539 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: up Randy Brown and Chaos. You know, I just I'm 540 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: not sure Showgun should be fighting anymore. I appreciate that 541 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: Saint Prue came back to light heavyweight, which I thought 542 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 1: was the right quality, got the win, but he's thirty 543 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 1: thirty eight, thirty nine. I think both of these guys 544 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,720 Speaker 1: are very much on the last legs of their career, 545 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: especially Showgun, who just looks like a shell of himself. 546 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 1: So what I would say is, if you know another 547 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,480 Speaker 1: organization was putting on this fight, I think people would 548 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: and nothing that they were like, you know, raining down 549 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:51,560 Speaker 1: praise from the heavens exactly. I'm not s here to 550 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: say you guys all said it was the most amazing 551 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: fight ever, that you wanted it. But I thought if 552 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 1: this was in Belator, there would be a lot more 553 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,879 Speaker 1: criticism of it, and I'm not seeing a whole lot 554 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 1: of criticism of it. And I think that there should 555 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: be these kind of fights. Man UFC should be past 556 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 1: this sort of thing. If you ask me not not 557 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 1: guys old thirty nine verses forty we do it. We 558 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: don't have room for that. No, of course, under the 559 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: right circumstance, there could be a lot of room for 560 00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: thirty nine versus forty. It's not that per se and 561 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,360 Speaker 1: I realize they've looked at the rankings. Let's be clear 562 00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:23,119 Speaker 1: about the rankings here very quickly. If I look at 563 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: them at two hundred and five pounds Shogoon, where would 564 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 1: he be? Is he even ranked anymore? 565 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:30,680 Speaker 2: No? 566 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: Neither of these guys are ranked. Is Owen Saint Prue 567 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: ranked at heavyweight? 568 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:35,199 Speaker 2: No? 569 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: He's not, so you're top fifteen at light would be 570 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: Glover's your champ obviously, Prahadchka actually Bohovich, Prohadchka, Rakich, Uncle Iiave, 571 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: Smith Santos res craig Osdemir, Hill, Krilov, Walker, Span. 572 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 2: Crewe, Jacoby. 573 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,200 Speaker 1: I mean again, it's not that guys can't be thirty 574 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,120 Speaker 1: nine versus forty. It's not that they have to be ranked. 575 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,240 Speaker 1: But in this case they are thirty nine to forty, 576 00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,879 Speaker 1: which is very old. 577 00:26:57,960 --> 00:26:58,360 Speaker 2: They are. 578 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: In the case of Shogun especially, he is very much 579 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,120 Speaker 1: not looking at all like he once did, has absorbed 580 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 1: a metric ton of damage, and they're not ranked. The 581 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: UFC should not be putting on fights like this anymore. 582 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, it's my personal opinion. You're myology may vary. 583 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: I understand that, but what are you gonna do? Also 584 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: honorable mention Tracy Cortez I thought had a nice, strong start, 585 00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: little bit of struggle over the course of that fight, 586 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 1: but she got the W. I think she'd been off 587 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:26,879 Speaker 1: for a while. 588 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: This was a solid win for her. A lot more 589 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 2: to work on. 590 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 1: But a good win just the same. So listen, I'm 591 00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: happy for all the winners. Congratulations to all of them. 592 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: The losers, they'll have another day, especially in the case 593 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,239 Speaker 1: of like Schnell, who really wasn't himself in this one. 594 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,280 Speaker 1: Chaos Williams, I'm sure we'll get a fight that. 595 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 2: You know. I don't think his winning days are over 596 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 2: by any stretch of the imagination. But there you go. 597 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 1: To me, you're the biggest standouts. Brandon Roivel's grappling is 598 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: just unbelievable, Randy Brown really working on his boxing, Francisco 599 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: Trinaldo hasn't missed a step, and Lupita go Dinez really 600 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: a dominant, dominant grappling force who is making her way 601 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 1: through the women's strawweight rankings. All right, so like the 602 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: video if you're if you would be so kind subscribe 603 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: to it. I appreciate it.
