1
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 1: It is the fourth of October twenty twenty one, and

2
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: it is time for MK Extra Credit Episode two. Hello everyone,

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: my name is Luke Thomas. I am your host for

4
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: this podcast, but one half of the normal, the Big MK.

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: This is our little mini podcast we do on Monday

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: evenings to get to the fights from the weekend that

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 1: we didn't get to on regular MK. We'll put the

8
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 1: link for regular MK in the description box and everything else,

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 1: but this is a well for now MMA specific certainly,

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,839
Speaker 1: and for today we're just gonna get to all those fights.

11
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: Like we didn't get to Nico Price, we didn't get

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: to Alexander Hernandez on regular MK.

13
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 2: We'll do it here.

14
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: First things first, give the video a thumbs up hit subscribe.

15
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: We appreciate you helping us with the name. We appreciate

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: you guys watching this. And we only have thirty minutes

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: or less to do this, so no time let the president.

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: Let's get things started now. First, a bit of sort

19
00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: of a note about what I'm selecting. I'm not opposed

20
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 1: to picking in fights from LFA or some other interesting

21
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: regional shows if they're really really relevant. Title fights are

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: for some of the reason worth paying attention to, but

23
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: as a rule, I'm not going to go through that

24
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. We don't have time for it. So

25
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: Cage Warriors, they did have some interesting things going on,

26
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: but nothing really stood out this particular time, but I'll

27
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 1: always keep my mind open. Bellator kind of the same thing.

28
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: They did have Leena versus Douglas two, but we got

29
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: to that on regular MK and the rest of the card.

30
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 2: Frankly, it is not really.

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,200
Speaker 1: Worth any broader examination. I don't feel like, so let's

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: stick with the UFC card. So this, of course was

33
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: UFC Fight Night, Santos versus Walker. We know the story,

34
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: he was at the Apex and everything else. On regular MK,

35
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: we got to Santo's versus Walker and we got to

36
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: the Holland and daucas situation. So we start just below

37
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: that with Nico Price taken on Alex Olivera. Nico Price

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: wins twenty nine eight a decision. He picks up two

39
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: of the three rounds. I think he'd won the first

40
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: round where he was able to get a takedown and

41
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: for the most part control on top. Second round it

42
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: was a little different. He actually spent some time underneath

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: and was kind of outstruck on the feet although that

44
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: was a common condition in all three of the rounds,

45
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: and in the third round got outstruck in the beginning,

46
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 1: kind of pushed a closer fight in the middle, was

47
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: able to get on top with like a minute thirty

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: or so left. I could be wrong about that part,

49
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: but with you know, a decent chunk in the round left.

50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: To me, it was pretty close.

51
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 1: I actually thought Olivera did more damage on the feet

52
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: to negate what had happened a little bit later in

53
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: that fight.

54
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: I saw it.

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: To me, I thought, Olivera probably I'm not gonna say

56
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: deserve the nod.

57
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 2: That's maybe a strong word, but.

58
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Could have gotten the nod, you know, wouldn't wouldn't have

59
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: been all that unjustifiable. But in the end Nico Price

60
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: gets it done. And what was interesting was like I

61
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: think both guys were actually trying to be it was

62
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: it was it foreshadowed what ended up what Santos and

63
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: Walker ended up being.

64
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: Now.

65
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 1: Price versus Olivera was much more accent action packed than that,

66
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: but it had a similar kind of, at least early

67
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: and throughout certain parts of it, restraint, where both guys

68
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: were trying to fight to the best of their disciplined abilities,

69
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 1: which meant dialing back some of their offense to keep

70
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: their defense alive. It really is an illustration about people

71
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 1: who are able to incorporate defense into their offense more

72
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: nimbly or vice versa. However you want to see it

73
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 1: and what dividends that pays. I don't present it to

74
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 1: you to be an easy problem to solve, but one

75
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: that does appear quite regularly when you watch high level mma.

76
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: Even with those pros, they have a hard time incorporating

77
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: the two together and have to kind of go back

78
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: and forth. An extreme example of that would be joll

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: Rameri and the Luke Rock quldfire. That's a completely extreme example,

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: but you get the idea a little bit of that.

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: But it was a nice showing by Nico Price. Still

82
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: some issues at range.

83
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 2: He was gonna give it.

84
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 1: He was surprised a lot of times with some of

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: the punches and and some of the setups that OLIVERA

86
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 1: was using. But in the end there was a little

87
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: bit more just I think effort exerted. They were, they

88
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: were reasonably close in ability, and Price, I think, you know,

89
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: stepped on the gas a.

90
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 2: Little bit more. To me is a bit of the

91
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 2: explanation there.

92
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Christoph Jockco at middleweight takes on Misha Serkonov, who was

93
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: making middle for his debut, of course, previously a light heavyweight.

94
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: He wins via split nine twenty eight on two of

95
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: them and then one the other way, So nine twenty

96
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: eight for me, it's just cirking off. I can understand

97
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: Sirkanov taking around, and he was certainly diligent about trying

98
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,280
Speaker 1: to take the fight there, but.

99
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: This was.

100
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes you can see a situation where a guy or

101
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: a lady drops or changes weight classes and it can

102
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: pay real dividends, right, it can pay Like if they

103
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: were cutting too much weight and they move up, you know,

104
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: they're healthier, they hit harder, their chins better. It's just like,

105
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 1: oh my god, why weren't they there this whole time?

106
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Or in the case of someone like Jared Cannoneer, he

107
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: was like, maybe you could be a little bit trimle.

108
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: Let's see what that would do. And then they got

109
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: him all the way down to middleweight because he started

110
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: at heavyweight. They got him all the way down the

111
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 2: middleweight and they're.

112
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Like, wow, dude, Like he's really athletic and nimble and

113
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: fast and hard hitting and strong at this waass, but

114
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: it took some time to be able to get the

115
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 1: person in a space where they knew that was optimal

116
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: for them.

117
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: The point I'm trying to make here is.

118
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 1: I didn't automatically think that Serkanov to middleweight posed no benefits,

119
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: but I kind of wanted to see what happened, and

120
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: DC kind of addressed it. He just I don't think

121
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 1: he got a lot out of it. Like I think

122
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: he thought it was gonna really help him in the

123
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: grappling department, and I'm sure it did on some level.

124
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it was like did nothing for him,

125
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: but it wasn't obvious. Jocko looked like he was dealing

126
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: with a strong, but another middleweight. It didn't look like,

127
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, he could sometimes you know, Holloway will go

128
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: against some of these one forty five ors who are

129
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: a little bit small for the weight class, and he

130
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 1: just towers over them, and that's you know, he's still thin,

131
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 1: but still like you can see this difference in the

132
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: stature of opponents within the same weight class. He didn't

133
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 1: really get that here, And for Jocko, I thought he looked,

134
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't wow mean necessarily with his volume

135
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: or any particular one thing he was doing. But he

136
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 1: had good footwork, he had good timing, he had great

137
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: takedown defense, and in fact, his takedown defense, I mean,

138
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: his down blocking was really good.

139
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: Right. He was able to get his he was able

140
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: to hit his.

141
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: Sprawl with his hands planted before circling off, could really

142
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: ever make any kind of contact with his hips.

143
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: This happened over and over for the most part.

144
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously exceptions here or there, but he did

145
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: a great job with his down blocking, and to me

146
00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: what a little like with circle off. And this is

147
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: why the weight class change didn't really matter. Again, sometimes

148
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: a weight class change up or down can solve a

149
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: big problem that somebody has. But in this particular case,

150
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: it looked to me like he just had a hard

151
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: time setting up anything beyond a single or single double

152
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: shot like a jab jab cross jab cross hook.

153
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 2: I don't think.

154
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever saw a jab cross hook

155
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: at a circle off. I think I saw a lot

156
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: of Like you know, the striking either seemed limited on

157
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: purpose or by consequence of what's where he is at

158
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: this level, and or it was intentionally dialed back just

159
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: to sort of aid the grappling and range management portion

160
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: of the fight, but in any case, it wasn't very lethal,

161
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 1: and because it wasn't very lethal, that didn't help the wrestling, right,

162
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 1: So he like the problems all kind of compounded and

163
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: formed a sort of a circular chain kind of he

164
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: needs to be more dynamic with those in order for

165
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: the striking to be playing a role. But the striking

166
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: didn't play a role because it wasn't more dynamic and

167
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: it goes back and forth, right, So, but the weight

168
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: class changes, that's not something you can fix. Like if

169
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: you can't open up and create if you can't create

170
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: more openings standing acrossmann opponent for either the striking or

171
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 1: the grappling, you know, it's hard to know what the

172
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: weight class can really do for you, even though it

173
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: is you know, twenty pounds can be obviously quite significant. Anyway,

174
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: it was a nice win by JOCKO. Didn't like blow

175
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:43,200
Speaker 1: me away, but I would say a veteran, solid, well

176
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: schooled performance. He looked good. This one was really interesting.

177
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Alexander Hernandez had a catchwaight at one fifty eight because

178
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: his opponent, Mike Breedon, did not make weight do Alexander Hernandez.

179
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: So he comes out and is a victim of his

180
00:07:55,640 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: own success beating Banil Daryush and was it Marcia And

181
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: he just looked like a world beater. He's physically like,

182
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: looked strong. He had knocked out Daruche and and had

183
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: out wrestled Abin Marseilles, who was a big lightweight, and

184
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 1: you were like wow. And then he started calling out

185
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 1: day drinking don and hit a brick wall from there

186
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 1: and has had to retool and looked like maybe he

187
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: was lost a little bit. This was the first time

188
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 1: I thought, wow, man, he looked and he just sounded

189
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 1: different too, right, So first of all, what happens. This

190
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: is not his original opponent and everything changed last minute.

191
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: But you got what you got. You got her Nanda's

192
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 1: versus breeding. He was backing him up behind the jab.

193
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: He had Hernandez on his heels, he was working the jab,

194
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 1: he was finding his angles, he was fainting his way

195
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: into distance. And what really set it all up was

196
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: he was going low, constantly, going low, going low, going low.

197
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: And then he faked like he was doing this and

198
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: then whipped around the corner with the jab and then

199
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 1: put the two right behind it, dude, that was a

200
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: nice setup. That was a nice execution. He didn't rush it,

201
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: he played into it directly. Was this the most primed opponent,

202
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: the best guy on the roster he could have beaten,

203
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily, but Mike reads a good fighter even under

204
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: these circumstances. He is not to be just dismissed as

205
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: a nobody. So for Hernandez to set it up in

206
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,199
Speaker 1: the way that he didn't and execute the way he did,

207
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: this is the first time I was like, Wow, did okay.

208
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: We talked about it on regular OMK, about Walker and

209
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: sometimes more so Walker changing his style, and in that

210
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: early stage it can look like they're just lost and.

211
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: They're not going anywhere.

212
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: It's because they're at the beginning of this developmental process

213
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 1: and they just don't have the acumen to make it

214
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: all work yet. But if you give it time, let

215
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: it breathe a little bit, you might get somewhere. This

216
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: is the first time I thought Hernandez was really getting

217
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: somewhere with this, where I really believed he was finally

218
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: making use of all the changes he made.

219
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 2: And then you listen to.

220
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 1: Him talk when I interview him the first time, he

221
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: was kind of like a kid not too far out

222
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: of college who was not just not happy to be there,

223
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,680
Speaker 1: but you know, kind of certain kind of the swag

224
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: that all guys in their twenties have before life comes

225
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: crashing down on them, right, that kind of a thing

226
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: where it's not so much arrogance of from character flaw

227
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: just as much as he's never been humbled. Well, he

228
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 1: got humbled. He got humbled in the UFC, and it

229
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: changed his attitude because he was saying it took nothing

230
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 1: for granted from this, you know, everything is a blessing.

231
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: I worked on this. I feel like I'm inspired. I

232
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: got the right team. He was just saying all the

233
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: right things.

234
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Man.

235
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: It was like a really strong performance and I'm now

236
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,320
Speaker 1: curious to see him build on this. It's a long

237
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: way to build on this, but that was a good, big,

238
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: important step in the career of Alexander Hernandez for sure.

239
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: On the preliminary card, the main event was a lightweight

240
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: affair between Jared Gordon and Joe Selecki. Jared Gordon wins

241
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: via split and it was a tight one twenty nine

242
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 1: twenty eight two of the scorecards and then SELECTI had

243
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: once le he came out and took his back right

244
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: away in the first round and held it for like

245
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 1: three minutes or more and was just all over him early.

246
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: The fight doesn't turn until the second round, but that

247
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: first round I wanted to mention something because Dean Thomas

248
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 1: came out.

249
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 2: By the way, Dean Thomas is great.

250
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: He repeats himself a little bit when he gives his advice,

251
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 1: which I can say because I like Dean a lot

252
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: and I've known him a long time, But the actual

253
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: advice he's giving is like, it's just it's it's exactly

254
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: what needs to be said on the broadcast. It's exactly

255
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 1: what the booth is often missing. And what he talked

256
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: about was that the precision of the back control. Select you, dude,

257
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: Selecti's a good grappler. He's a very good grappler. Man.

258
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: He was working from the back and it just shows you,

259
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: like how advantageous the bat can be because he was

260
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: able to keep like like when if you think about

261
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: how Gordon got out of it, it took him three

262
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: and a half minutes basically something like that, and it

263
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: was expertly done, but it was not quickly done. SELECTI

264
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: was up against the problem that John Danaher has identified

265
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: that one of the issues with back control is that

266
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: if you're attacking from the back, you are essentially outnumbered

267
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: because while one arm has to go to attack the throat,

268
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: it doesn't have the other hand has to essentially not fight.

269
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 2: Two at the same time.

270
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: There can be ways to rig it, but you get

271
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 1: the idea you are outnumbered, right, And so they that's

272
00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: why we see a lot of the Danaher guys. They

273
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: solve that problem a number of different ways. One of

274
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: the ways they solve it and bjpended it earlier. They're

275
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 1: not the only ones, but I bring it up because

276
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: they talk about it as you bring the leg over

277
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,319
Speaker 1: the top on one side obviously to control the other limbs.

278
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: So now it's an even fight, right, So now you

279
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: can it's arm on throat, hand on hand, and now

280
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: you don't worry about the extra appendage. He was never

281
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 1: really able to get there because I think in MMA,

282
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 1: controlling up in that way around the waist is just

283
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 1: much more at a premium. Could be wrong about that,

284
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: not so sure, but in any case he was kind

285
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: of up against that. So Gordon was just incredibly patient

286
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 1: the whole time and able to make the situation work

287
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: The thing I'm pointing out about Seleti is that everything

288
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: he did was really really precise, and Gordon was able

289
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: to expertly get out, but even expertly escaping the back

290
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,959
Speaker 1: took them three and a half minutes.

291
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: Like, it's not quick.

292
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 1: You can get out of the back without too much

293
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 1: damage happening to you, that is possible, but it's probably

294
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:53,559
Speaker 1: not going to happen very fast against an operator of

295
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: the talent of Joe Seleki. So he found himself there

296
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: just stuck for that entire time. To dude, it was

297
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 1: so funny. The fight turned out two thirty of the

298
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 1: second round and ended up going the distance.

299
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: So what does that mean?

300
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: The fight turned at the literal halfway point in terms

301
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: of the time of the fight itself, where you see

302
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: Selecti trying to go back to the takedown, not really

303
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: able to get it, and then Gordon uh has a

304
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: wizard kick hits it or you know, hits it through

305
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: right Uchi Mata hits it through, and then you see

306
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: Seleci plant his hands, Gordon goes to get on top,

307
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: and then Gordon switches in another direction and plants someone

308
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 1: his back, and from there he ran out the rest

309
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: of the round they struck it out on the feet

310
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: again sole He had some nice punches, but it looked

311
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 1: like Jared Gordon had just a little bit more push

312
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 1: when the fight needed someone to kind of take it

313
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: by the back of the neck. This is what coaches

314
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: mean when they talk about you know, who wanted it more,

315
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: and then often sounds like, well do they both want

316
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: it right? But sometimes the talent level can just cancel

317
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: a lot out where you know, obviously Selecki's better as

318
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: a ground operator than Gordon, but Gordon, it might have

319
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 1: some better in sense about when to go, when to push,

320
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: good defense, but neither guy had really put the stamp

321
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: on the other one. Although positionally so Looki had done

322
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,520
Speaker 1: quite well in that third round they were exchanging. It

323
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 1: just needed someone to go a little bit more. And

324
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: that's what it means, just sort of pursuing it in

325
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: that particular way. When all else fails, all you kind

326
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: of have left is will. Will won't get you enough.

327
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: Will is not enough to win championships but by itself,

328
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: but will as a last resort against someone else and

329
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: that's their last resort can be quite powerful.

330
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 2: And women's flyway.

331
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Casey O'Neil defeated Antonina Chevchenko at four point forty seven

332
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 1: of the second round. O'Neil running into a lot of strikes.

333
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,600
Speaker 1: She was getting chewed up at distance, you know, a

334
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: lot of times, was closing distance with a very kind

335
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 1: of rough way Chevchenko on the feet, making great contact

336
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: with her, beating her up in the clinch at times,

337
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: although kind of getting pressed backwards and then along the

338
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: fence line. But the problem with the strikes were that

339
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: none of them were good enough, are powerful enough to

340
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: really deter O'Neil. It wasn't like O'Neill wasn't getting bombed

341
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: on a little bit or eating big shots, or you know,

342
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 1: even if she didn't get tagged that one time. You know,

343
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't like she She was walking into these entries

344
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: a little bit rough. But the thing what she has

345
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: on her side is she has youth, she has daring,

346
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: and on the ground she was quite good, quite good.

347
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: I was very impressed once it got there. She just

348
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 1: shredded right through Chefchenko. To be quite honest with you,

349
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: took a little bit to polish her off because Chefchenko

350
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: kind of has actually decent defense from the mount or

351
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 1: from being mounted, but not enough in the end to

352
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: stop it. The other part about her is, I mean, listen,

353
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 1: it's a great win for Casey O'Neil, who I think

354
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 1: is just twenty three years something like that. Like, she

355
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 1: has a great foundation of punk which to build, but

356
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: there's plenty more buildings to go. It's the opposite situation

357
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 1: with Chefchenko here. Obviously, her sister is, you know, one

358
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: of the best female one of the best fighters we've

359
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: ever seen. You know, this is a This is not

360
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,040
Speaker 1: that she is dynamic on the feet. She is a

361
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: well trained martial artist. She is worthy of respect. But

362
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: on the ground, at thirty six years of age, there's

363
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: no reason to believe that these are gonna be problems

364
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: that she'll be able to overcome with any kind of

365
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: This is probably you've seen her ceiling already.

366
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: You know.

367
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: From the next about Catchwait, it was a Carol Hosa

368
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: spelled Rosa taken on Betchaha and all Brazilian affair. Hosa

369
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 1: demolished her. She won thirty twenty seven on two scorecards,

370
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: thirty twenty six. I'm surprised that there weren't more ten

371
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 1: eight rounds. She beat the breaks off of her, She

372
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 1: beat the breaks off her. I know, this was her

373
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 1: retirement fight, and she showed some goodwill, I thought in

374
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: the third fight herself, you know, kind of not letting.

375
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 1: She knew she had lost, and she knew there was

376
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: no way she wished she was gonna win, but fighting

377
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 1: for dignity, you know, you can sometimes tell that they

378
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: can fight for dignity. I saw a little bit of that,

379
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 1: which I take my proverbial hat off to. You know,

380
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: She's obviously been the subject of some funny jokes along

381
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: the way, but I take my hat off to anybody

382
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: who can push like that under circumstances like that. But

383
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: Hosa wore her up, tore her up. At every range.

384
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: She would do this constant jump switch knee as a

385
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: distance closer. Because Cohea was biting on it every time

386
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 1: or would freeze or whatever. She would never really attack

387
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 1: it back, and so they could use it to like

388
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,120
Speaker 1: land at certain times whether she was pressuring, they could

389
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: use it once she was backing up to close and

390
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: then they'd come over the top and hammer her with

391
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: an elbow or punches or whatever. But at distance she

392
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 1: was landing leg kicks, inside, outside.

393
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: Lead leg, rear leg. Everything was just getting drilled.

394
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 1: Every available legal target of Koheia was under assault in

395
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: this one.

396
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: Carol Hosa, I'm not sure.

397
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: How old she is. Let me see how old she is.

398
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: She is and currently remains just twenty six too. That's

399
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 1: somebody to pay attention to. Carol host is someone to

400
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: pay attention to. She had setups. She could recognize weaknesses

401
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: and go back to them very quickly and easily if

402
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: she stayed out of defense of trouble. Like look at

403
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,880
Speaker 1: her face. She looked clean as a whistle. Meanwhile, hay

404
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: As after the fight was I think one of her

405
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 1: eyes was already shut and the other one was bruised

406
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: in purple. Pretty close to that, you know, CAROLJSA as

407
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: an operator, pay attention to her. Jamie Malarkey at lightweight

408
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: took on Devonte Smith. He wins in the second round

409
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: at two point fifty one of that fight. That was

410
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: so funny. We talked a little bit about this on

411
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: regular MK. Davonte Smith at range to me just looked

412
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:26,120
Speaker 1: like he would have his way with Jamie Malarkey as

413
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: long as the fight went on and Malarkey was trying man,

414
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: he was going side to side, he was rolling, he

415
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: was creating faints he was giving a lot of different looks.

416
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,960
Speaker 1: He always looked like though he couldn't really gauge the

417
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,920
Speaker 1: distance or commit enough if you go back and look,

418
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 1: especially one like two punch combos. He would throw two

419
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,800
Speaker 1: punch combos and they would miss by about four to

420
00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 1: six inches something like that, like they're they're not well,

421
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: in the case of the four inches, they're not like

422
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: super super far away, but they're not. Maybe it's a

423
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 1: little bit more like more like two to three inches,

424
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: I think it is a better way to put it.

425
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: But the point being is, you know, far enough away

426
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 1: where you could tell they were trying to engage, but

427
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 1: they there's another half step to go kind of thing.

428
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 1: And this happened to him over and over and over again.

429
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: So and Smith was leaning but not enough to always

430
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,240
Speaker 1: explain that. So he had this trouble there. But eventually

431
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,159
Speaker 1: once he was able to man, it's just amazing what

432
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 1: that wall of the octagon will do. You know, you

433
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 1: can get some of these guys that if they can

434
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: stick and move, and it tells you about like cage

435
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: generalship moving through the octagon, spatially, understanding where you're supposed

436
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: to be when you're not supposed to be. Of course,

437
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: very easy for me to say, I'm not the one

438
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: in there, I'm not the one being tired, but that

439
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: is the challenge that they all signed up for in

440
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: any case. Eventually he sort of just kind of stays

441
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: on him, constantly attacking, constantly moving for the most part,

442
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:45,159
Speaker 1: avoiding anything super serious from Devonte Smith, although you know

443
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:49,959
Speaker 1: Smith is he's landing on him, to be clear, and

444
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: then eventually he was able in the second round to

445
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,239
Speaker 1: get him up against the fence line, and from there

446
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: it's a totally different ballgame. You're already a little tired.

447
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: Now you're up here, and your defense is not what

448
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,359
Speaker 1: it used to be. You literally can't go back words

449
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: in certain ways. Your forward motions even limited because how

450
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: are you going to move If your rear end moves backwards,

451
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 1: you're gonna go forward at the hips, right, So everything

452
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: gets kind of changed about how you can move in

453
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: that space. And now the distance is not a problem

454
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: for him. He grabs up behind the neck and hits

455
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 1: them i think two three times with the knees and

456
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: then he just stays on him. So it's one of

457
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: those cases where like in terms of pure striking skill,

458
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 1: Malarkey did not prove that he was a superior striker,

459
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 1: not at all.

460
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:26,639
Speaker 2: That's not what that showed.

461
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: What it showed was that he was good enough in

462
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: the striking, patient enough, and understanding about some of the

463
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: other weapons that he could employ, namely range shortening it

464
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: and not just the range from I always talk about it.

465
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: It's not just the range from you to the opponent.

466
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: It's the arrange from you to the opponent, the opponent

467
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: to the wall. Those are the two variables in play there.

468
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: And when you can change both of those, which he did,

469
00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: and collapse both of them, you have a completely different

470
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: fight on your hands. That's exactly what you got. Douglas

471
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: the Silva, excuse me, Douglass Silva Deonrodge defeating I forget

472
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: how to pronounce this guy's name, Gaetano. I'm sure I'm

473
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: pronouncing it wrong. Parrello again, I I forgot. I didn't

474
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: hear them pronounce his name, so I don't know how

475
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 1: he pronounce it. I kind of skipped right to the

476
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 1: fight itself. This guy, I don't know what happened there

477
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 1: where Perellio. You know, he tried to sort of skip,

478
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: uh skip faint almost his way into range and then

479
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: but doing it like way inside of the range she's

480
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: got he got picked off, Uh, just moving right inside

481
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: with his hands down. I didn't I didn't really understand it.

482
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 1: And that dude, Deondrodge is built like a ninja turtle.

483
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 2: He is.

484
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: That dude looks strong. Uh, and he cracked him with

485
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: a with a shot coming in. That was all it

486
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: took to a four of the first nice punch from Switzerland.

487
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: Stephanie Eggert beating Shanna Young via t k o elbow

488
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 1: could be a bit of an early stoppage because what

489
00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,119
Speaker 1: you see is a Young grab her face and turn away.

490
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:58,199
Speaker 1: So I could see why the referee stepped in, but

491
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,680
Speaker 1: her she was still wrestling with her legs and still

492
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: kind of inverting to protect herself. So like it's a

493
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 1: bit of an early call. But egar, this one was

494
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: not super interesting on the feet. Egar interesting in the

495
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: sense that she's a judoka. You can see you're going

496
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: for collar tized trips two times, getting the throw, getting

497
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: and by the way, not just good about getting the throw,

498
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: but then not ending.

499
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 2: Up in scarfold, which we'll talk about with the last

500
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 2: fight on there. Right where you're you don't.

501
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,479
Speaker 1: Your chest is facing their face and you have their

502
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: arm and then there used to be their arm and

503
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: then their head rather than being on top and side

504
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: control where it's chest to chest or you know, something

505
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: usually approximating that, because if you don't have that underhook

506
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 1: on the far side or something some kind of ability

507
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: to keep the chest down and you're around the head,

508
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: if you're not careful, they can come out the back.

509
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: There's lots of things that can get happen. You can

510
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: get rolled over. But Judoka's are actually from they call

511
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,160
Speaker 1: it scarfold. They're very good from that position. She wasn't

512
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: able to finish the fight from there, but you could

513
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,239
Speaker 1: just tell on the ground she was just much more

514
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: physically dominant. Un was trying to do her best to

515
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: create space or whatnot, but it just wasn't there.

516
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: Again, you if you can maybe.

517
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: Argue that it was a little bit early with the stoppage,

518
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 1: but in any case, nice win by Stephanie Agger. Last

519
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: but not least Alejandro Petez defeating Johnny Eduardo from a

520
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: scarfold and arm bars an arm bar with your legs,

521
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: and there's different ways you can do it and set

522
00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,200
Speaker 1: it up. But you know, I thought he was en

523
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 1: route to getting beaten up in this fight. Perez started

524
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 1: in this rocking motion that you thought might be there

525
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: to like loosen up, Like they'll start with an obvious

526
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: motion and then use that to like, you know, get

527
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 1: going with all the other stuff they're doing. No, he

528
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: just kept doing it. He just kept rocking side to

529
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 1: side in a very rhythmic way where I'm like, dude,

530
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna get timed doing this, and several times he

531
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: did because.

532
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: He just kept sticking to it.

533
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's something he did because it helps

534
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,919
Speaker 1: him get his mind right about where defense needs to

535
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: be later, Like if you do that practice early, you

536
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,200
Speaker 1: don't get knocked out. You'll do it just enough later

537
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 1: where it won't be so rhythmic it'll actually be right,

538
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,760
Speaker 1: kind of like muscle memory. I don't know if it's that.

539
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he was nervous, I don't know

540
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: what that was. But it was not doing him favors

541
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:08,360
Speaker 1: early in any case, neither not really why he won

542
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: the fight. In fact, he nearly lost it several times.

543
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,480
Speaker 1: I thought he was getting chewed up on the feet.

544
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:13,719
Speaker 2: A little bit.

545
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 1: Personally he was kind of in it, but he had

546
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: a several moments on the ground taking it back to

547
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,480
Speaker 1: the ground, didn't do a whole lot with it, but

548
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: eventually he finds himself on the ground. Later in the

549
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: second there was three different parts where they went to

550
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: the ground. There was one where he had I think

551
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: his back taken for a while too earlier on. Eduardo

552
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 1: was clearly the better of the two positions on the ground.

553
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 1: But dude, here's the funny part about it.

554
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:34,880
Speaker 2: Man.

555
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 1: You had Perez find his way to scarf hold and

556
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: then you know when he hit it. You can watch

557
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: him crank the arm I think it was the far

558
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 1: side arm and the head at the same time. As

559
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: soon as he wraps it up with his legs. Dude,

560
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 1: that is something I guarantee you his training partners have set.

561
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if you hit something in an MMA fight,

562
00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: chances are you hit it in the training room all

563
00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, It's like the chances that would be

564
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: the first time you do that would be almost impossible.

565
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's happened, but not impossible, but extremely rare.

566
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 2: Most of the.

567
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,479
Speaker 1: Things that people hit are the things they have comfortability with,

568
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,280
Speaker 1: and that comfortability is driven by repetition.

569
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 2: Anyway, you get the idea.

570
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: Still, that's one of those arm bars that you know

571
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: you can get it once on your training partners, maybe

572
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: even twice. That's gonna be hard to get it on

573
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: three times because they're really gonna know something's it's it's

574
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 1: not gimmicky because it really comes from judo. But in

575
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: the modern mma sense, especially on the men's side, you

576
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: don't see a lot of that because you don't see

577
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 1: a lot of heading on throws to that kind of

578
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: portion of attack. So I guarantee you what I'm trying

579
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: to make is if Eduardo trained with Perez, he'd probably

580
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: never get it. But because he just wasn't thinking about it,

581
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 1: because people just don't go over that kind of thing

582
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: too often in the gym. He just kind of had

583
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: a loose defense in that moment. I mean, it doesn't

584
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: take much for someone you could tell Perez knew exactly

585
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: how to crank, he knew exactly how to pull, he

586
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: knew exactly what he was doing in that moment. So

587
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: just one of those things where again a low percentage,

588
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:58,199
Speaker 1: a low percentage submission. Having a couple of those in

589
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: your repertoire can be beneficial. You're not gonna you know,

590
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: this is not gonna be a reason why you win titles.

591
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be the reason why you're the number

592
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,400
Speaker 1: one contender, but especially in the fight where you if

593
00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: it had gone the distance, you probably would have lost.

594
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: What I was gonna say was what I was gonna

595
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: say was an ace up your sleeve with that sort

596
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 1: of low percentage submission from a perfectly reasonable position, but

597
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: one that people just don't They don't really focus in

598
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: on on the training room because it's just not a

599
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 1: thing that you would spend your time doing ordinarily, even

600
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: that will help you win UFC fights. Yeah, okay, by
