Yeah, I felt like you had a little more in the tank, man.

Speaker 246.7s - 47.42s

I could have kept going. I could have kept going.

Speaker 348.42s - 51.58s

If you're still listening, welcome back to another episode.

Speaker 252.02s - 53.5s

How many people are just like, screw this?

Speaker 353.5s - 54.22s

I just lost three people.

Speaker 254.4s - 55.74s

I think you get more people intrigued.

Speaker 355.86s - 57.36s

Like, how long is he going to hold this out?

Speaker 257.46s - 58.72s

Oh, there was more in the gas tank.

Speaker 358.8s - 59.34s

Just know that.

Speaker 260s - 64.28s

So we're going to give you the recap and reactions to the night's biggest winners and losers.

Speaker 382.8s - 83.46s

Strap in.

Speaker 283.88s - 91.3s

Oh, man, a lot to talk about with the win of Alex Pideta. Obviously, probably Max Holloway, the biggest winner of the night's biggest winners and losers. Strap in. Oh, man, lots to talk about with the win of Alex Pineda PERSON. Obviously, probably Max Holloway, the biggest winner of the night has to be said.

Speaker 392s - 95.02s

Jean Whaley PERSON, I mean, geez, I've almost forgot about more fights,

Speaker 095.06s - 98.1s

and it's almost sad to think, you know, that Kayla Harrison PERSON won her debut.

Speaker 298.22s - 98.78s

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Speaker 598.84s - 112.88s

Like, what a night. And as always, we will finish with all the news and happenings from in and around the world of mixed martial arts and more. But first, boys, how are we doing episode 179 of the Neon Belly ORG podcast?

Speaker 2113.28s - 121.86s

Or as some people are calling it, the number of years since the publication of Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven episode of the Neon Belly ORG podcast.

Speaker 3123.4s - 127.12s

John, for three extra points towards your overall score,

Speaker 2127.62s - 129.9s

can you tell me the opening line to the Raven PRODUCT?

Speaker 3131.22s - 131.94s

No, I can't.

Speaker 2132.54s - 134.7s

Brandon, to steal the three points.

Speaker 3137.5s - 138.68s

Once Upon a Midnight jury.

Speaker 2139.06s - 139.7s

Keep going.

Speaker 1139.84s - 140.26s

There's more.

Speaker 2140.46s - 141s

That's a good story.

Speaker 1141s - 143s

Oh, come on. Once upon a midnight jury.

Speaker 2143.2s - 148.64s

Something weak and mirro. Oh, man. You know what, Brandon PERSON? Go ahead and out a point. I'm going to give you a point.

Speaker 1148.7s - 153.44s

You're close. I'll take it. Once upon a midnight dreary while I pondered week and weird.

Speaker 2153.68s - 160.9s

Oh, week and weary. And I can say, Brandon, if you are looking for a song of the week, because it is your week.

Speaker 1161.02s - 166.88s

Yeah. I think is it, Blues blues traveler. Once upon a midnight,

Speaker 2167.06s - 169.08s

I woke with something in my...

Speaker 1169.08s - 169.8s

Oh, come on.

Speaker 2169.88s - 170.04s

Nope.

Speaker 0170.32s - 171.64s

Why do you...

Speaker 2171.64s - 172.24s

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 0172.24s - 172.44s

Okay.

Speaker 2173.16s - 173.9s

The runaround.

Speaker 0174.12s - 174.64s

Midnight...

Speaker 3174.64s - 178.54s

I think it's a traveler blues runaround.

Speaker 0178.62s - 180.9s

That the dude with all the harmonicas in his vest?

Speaker 2181.2s - 182.46s

Oh, I don't know about that.

Speaker 3182.96s - 183.78s

That's a little deep.

Speaker 2183.78s - 188.78s

That's a little bit too much blues traveler info for me. I just know the runaround song. Right.

Speaker 3188.94s - 190.42s

You always give me the road.

Speaker 2190.46s - 191.6s

I just feel like when I hear that song,

Speaker 3191.66s - 194.74s

I think of some really big dude with a vest with like 17 harmonics.

Speaker 2194.74s - 225.22s

Yeah, you may be right. I have no idea. Obviously, a lot to get to here, boys. But before we do, off top, I want to make a quick, important announcement. Next week, we are going to be taking the week off.There is no UFC fights next Saturday. So for us to do an episode next, which would be next Sunday, for next Monday, it would only essentially be to pick for the fight night next week, which is Mattow's Nikolai PERSON versus Alex Perez PERSON. And we'd obviously update, obviously, too, on any news and stuff. But UFC 300 has been a lot between getting stuff, you know, ready for the Alex Perez PERSON and we'd obviously update obviously too on any news and stuff but

Speaker 0225.22s - 239.9s

UFC 300 EVENT has been a lot between getting stuff you know ready for the episode last week stuff this week and then you know even just trying to turn around a card like this we've never done this before I mean this is a lot to cover and just we're sitting here

Speaker 3239.9s - 265s

recording you know less than 12 hours from when the main card even ends it's just a it it has been a grind. I love it. It's absolutely been fun. But we could use a week off to reset, so to speak. We will try to get a video up on the YouTube next week. So look out for that. But after this week, no episode, which would be the 22nd, the week of the 22nd, and we will be back with an episode

Speaker 2265s - 276.44s

Monday, April 29th, and we will recap that Nicolao and Perez PERSON card, and then also get you our picks and predictions for UFC 301 EVENT. We're right back out. A quick turnaround for the

Speaker 0276.44s - 281.68s

pay-per-views here, and then obviously we'll react to any news, and we'll still keep our eyes on everything,

Speaker 4281.94s - 285.54s

make sure we know if anything happens throughout the week,

Speaker 0285.92s - 288.46s

or that we miss throughout this next week,

Speaker 2288.46s - 298.44s

and then obviously the week after. So no episode next week. Hope you guys just enjoy some time off. Give us a little bit of space and grace there to recharge the batteries, so to speak.

Speaker 3298.64s - 299.22s

Come back and listen.

Speaker 1299.54s - 300.82s

You can just binge all this stuff.

Speaker 2300.96s - 302.56s

You don't have to one and a half times this one,

Speaker 1302.64s - 303.86s

just take it in segments.

Speaker 2303.86s - 314.18s

Let me say this. I will occasionally go back and like just kind of skim through a pod, you know, for more quality, quality control purposes, I guess.

Speaker 3314.24s - 315.8s

Like just to make sure, see how things are flowing.

Speaker 2315.98s - 323.2s

I will say, if you want to listen to this podcast, if you listen at a fast forward, 1.25 speed is like perfect.

Speaker 5323.6s - 324.2s

I don't know.

Speaker 2324.28s - 326.22s

It's something about the way the pace we talk.

Speaker 3326.22s - 327.2s

The pace is everything.

Speaker 5327.44s - 331.38s

Like you can get through it a little quicker. It's a good pace to listen to this podcast.

Speaker 3331.38s - 332.62s

It doesn't give you the, M-M-M-M-M-M-Fil PRODUCT does that.

Speaker 2332.62s - 336.58s

Yeah, yeah. Maybe sometimes. Like, I tend to get kind of like that.

Speaker 3336.62s - 338.9s

Like occasionally. Right.

Speaker 2339.1s - 343.08s

But it is a really, really good pace to listen to this podcast. Just my recommendation.

Speaker 3343.08s - 344.48s

I'm glad we're in that category, you know.

Speaker 2344.56s - 346.04s

Take it. You can go 1.25 on us. Yeah. Take it. Somebody else tell me that. What? Like 1.25 that to listen to this podcast. Just my recommendation. I'm glad we're in that category, you know. You can go 1.25 on us.

Speaker 1346.04s - 350.48s

Yeah. I heard somebody else tell me that. What? Like 1.25 that they listen to it at that speed.

Speaker 2350.54s - 354.34s

Us? Yeah. It's the best. Like, I've heard 1.5 as well.

Speaker 3354.6s - 364.14s

One point five. I think I tried that. I think that was a little too fast. Again, expect, and more for me because I continue to get really fast when I talk.So, I mean, if you're into it, fine. Yeah.

Speaker 2364.56s - 373.8s

But 1.25 is the sweet spot, if you're wondering. And we'll give you two seconds to click that over. Go ahead now, John PERSON, race up follow. All right.

Speaker 3373.88s - 427.7s

Wherever you guys are listening, whether that's Spotify, Apple ORG Podcast, wherever you're hearing us at, if they give you a chance to leave us some form of a review, we would really, really appreciate that. Spotify ORG, we know, gives you a five-star option. Apple Podcast gives you a five-star option. They also give you a chance to leave a some form of a review. We would really, really appreciate that. Spotify, we know, gives you a five-star option. Apple Podcast gives you a five-star option. They also give you a chance to leave a written review, which we love, and we love to read those when we get them. Helps push us up in algorithms. We're on social media. That's YouTube, TikTok, Instagram ORG,Neon Belly podcast. As, you know, as Nathan said, we are doing a lot more YouTube ORG stuff. So definitely come on there, watch stuff, subscribe, comment, like we've been getting some good, just some back and forth with people. And we love that. I love hearing what people think about what we have to say, because otherwise we're just kind of saying it to each other. We're also on X on Neon Belly Pod PRODUCT. I tweeted all throughout the UFC 300, trying to get back on that just to kind of get some more chances for interaction, especially live during a fight.So come show us some love, and we really appreciate it.

Speaker 2427.98s - 472.02s

Yeah, and again, make sure you're checking the YouTube next week, going to try to get some sort of a video out there, some content, even though the pod itself is taking a week off. So, yeah, make sure you're on that. But here we go, boys, UFC 300 EVENT. And before we get to the actual fights,I do want to lead with this and say, it doesn't happen very often where a card that is this hyped, right, then goes out and delivers. And almost every single one of these fighters showed up and delivered and did just that. Every fighter showed up on weight. No fights fell off. And each and everyone, to me, just speaks to the quality and talent of everybodythat was on this card um so i guess even us like we were a little bit kind of like pooh-pooing 300

Speaker 0472.02s - 475.26s

in a sense like oh maybe it's just not no the star power was there

Speaker 2475.26s - 481.68s

alex padeda and max hallway probably are the top two if not top five biggest stars in the

Speaker 0481.68s - 494.2s

promotion right now um and again just everybody that was involved in it from the UFC ORG, the promotion, the fighters, everything, it was just a spectacle. The graphics of the opening sequences we talked about even just the throwback logos

Speaker 3494.2s - 496.84s

and graphic settings and the intro video.

Speaker 0497.08s - 497.36s

The shorts.

Speaker 3497.92s - 505.24s

Bring the pain with the, yeah, the shorts. I mean, just so many cool touches. Added a lot of elements to make it feel like what it was.

Speaker 2505.24s - 514.38s

I'm sitting here as a mixed martial arts fan. I've watched this sport and followed it for, geez, man, probably almost 20 years, maybe, 18, 20 years.

Speaker 3514.5s - 520.52s

And that is the biggest combat sports car, like combat sports in general event that I've ever seen.

Speaker 5520.62s - 529.52s

Like, just so awesome from start to finish. So just wanted to lead with that because I think, you know, if we're going to criticize, we also have to be willing to, like, kind of eat our words there a little bit.

Speaker 0529.58s - 538.4s

And I can throw my hands up and say there was no issues here in terms of the lineup. They delivered. And let's just get to it, boys. Our main event.

Speaker 2543.44s - 554.6s

Alex Pareda defeats Jamal Hill via first round knockout. What just a legendary moment here, boys, and we kind of got a couple of them here tonight.

Speaker 5555.74s - 566.44s

Padeta gets kicked in the nuts and uses like the Darth Vader force to just wave Herb Dean PERSON away, marches forward, lands a massive left hook that just absolutely flatlined

Speaker 2566.44s - 582.42s

Jamal Hill PERSON. And I know they said it on the broadcast. And we've talked about it almost at nauseam whenever Alex Padeta PERSON gets brought up here. But what he has been able to accomplish in such a short spot, I think that's kind of where I am today, almost just reflecting. It's just amazing.

Speaker 5582.84s - 584.56s

I mean, and let's not forget, guys, too.

Speaker 0584.56s - 586.66s

He did this against a guy in Jamal Hill

Speaker 2586.66s - 593.86s

who is not only a really good fighter, but this is typically how Jamal Hill PERSON finishes people. Like, John PERSON, you brought up the whole Johnny Walker PERSON finish. Like,

Speaker 3593.98s - 599.02s

that's the visuals you usually get from a Jamal Hill PERSON fight. And,

Speaker 2599.12s - 621.7s

yeah, you know, Dana White then announced even at the presser. I don't know if you guys saw that Padeta PERSON broke his toe two weeks ago and fought on it last night. Which is funny because we instantly after the fight was like, oh, he's injured.And that's how Dana PERSON found out about it. It was his toe. It was his pinky toe, I think. And his coaches told Dana PERSON that, like, it happened. And he was like, there's no way I'm pulling out of this fight or missing this opportunity.

Speaker 1622.46s - 623.94s

This guy's just unreal, man.

Speaker 2624.06s - 625.74s

Like, just completely blown away today.

Speaker 1626.24s - 634.06s

Yeah, I mean, what more can you say? The left hook, I mean, it was one of those knockouts, too, where you see Jamal Hill's PERSON eyes just going to multiple directions.

Speaker 2634.06s - 638.26s

His whole body, like the Walker PERSON thing, like the flailing, the jiggling of the body.

Speaker 1638.38s - 650.08s

Yeah. Crazy. We knew, I mean, pretty much we thought it was going to end in the first round. Obviously, it did. It seemed to me, like, just as far as the fight, like, Jamal Hill seemed ready to go lead up for the entire week.

Speaker 0650.2s - 663.58s

I think he obviously came there to win. There was a little story there with it being a short of a short-notice fight. I mean, not super short, but... About three weeks. Yeah, that was a little bit of something. And obviously, the injury, we weren't really sure what it was going to look like.To me, it seemed like he was good to go.

Speaker 5663.7s - 665.06s

He really seemed like Jamal Hill PERSON to me.

Speaker 0665.46s - 675.2s

It seemed like he was pretty safe up until he wasn't. It was just kind of that one sequence right there, and Alex PERSON just does what he does. I mean, and then the little hands there at the end,

Speaker 2675.28s - 707.84s

kind of like that after a gun on knockout, that was just also perfect. So yeah, great performance, great knockout, great fight. It's so crazy, too, real quick, to be in the moment for that celebration with the hands because that when Izzy knocked out potato and he did the three arrows thing.And like, we were like, just to be that in the moment to know to do that instantly. But then like for Padea PERSON to do it. And then like I even forgot somebody had posted the picture. Do you guys remember when Jamal Hill beat Glover PERSON? And there was that moment when they were walking out of the cage. And we talked about it on the podcast.I completely remembered it when we saw the thing. And Alex PERSON locked eyes and just kind of stared Jamal Hill

Speaker 0707.84s - 718.06s

down and like seeing so that somebody shared a side by side of that picture and then you know elect standing over Jamal PERSON with the hands and it's like dude come on just what what just a mo and

Speaker 2718.06s - 727.48s

then again I just can't get over the in like the waving of the herb bean thing like I wonder if he just made a read in the moment he knew I've got him and was just like, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 3727.86s - 787.28s

Yeah, what they, you know, one thing I did want to say is one thing you're going to hear a lot is for this card, but mainly for him. And then as we talked about with Max PERSON, it's like there was like a legend or some type of mystique that just got born from this. And, you know, these moments that when you capitalize on them, just kind of just really pushes you up. And we know that Alex PERSON has been moving up as far as his stardom. But, like, even that celebration just shows like, oh,you're on a whole different spot of, like, I know what, I know how big what I'm doing is. I thought that it was, you know, a lot how we saw this fight was going to be of, you know, both of these guys are finishers. Kind of was like whoever gets there first. I thought Jamal PERSON's legs held up to some of those calf kicks.He was able to even throw some of his own. But, you know, I think the broadcast team even said is like at a certain point, Alex kind of lost respect for Jamal PERSON's power or what he was able to, what he was going to be able to land. It seems like he was reaching a lot for things. And I think that's probably your read. But like you said, like the whole, and the cup shot was

Speaker 2787.28s - 797.04s

loud. It wasn't like just a, like a small thud. That's why I say he had to have known something or seen something in that moment because it was a hard shot. Like you're spot on with that.

Speaker 3797.16s - 815.3s

Like that wasn't just a graze or anything like that. It's just like I think he knew, no, I'm going to be fine. This is almost over. Let me cook. It was probably one of those things where he was like so locked in that he heard it. You probably didn't even feel it. He heard it. And then he's seen her being in his prayer fields.He's like, no, no, no, no. I'm in this zone right now. Watch out. Takes two steps forward and that's it, man.

Speaker 2815.3s - 830.74s

And I think, you know, one of the biggest storylines coming out of this fight is, and we noticed it immediately to me off top. And it was more of an observation that now I think has turned into a very legitimate thing in terms of spinning things forward is, to me, Alex PERSON, look massive in the cage,

Speaker 3830.86s - 833.76s

bigger than Jamal Hill PERSON. 30 pounds after weighing in, man.

Speaker 2834.08s - 840.24s

236 pounds after cutting to 205. So we have to imagine this guy's probably hovering

Speaker 3840.24s - 843.42s

250 maybe when he's walking around.

Speaker 2843.64s - 844.82s

Maybe not that much.

Speaker 3844.88s - 845.42s

I don't know.

Speaker 2845.86s - 847.5s

It's interesting to consider.

Speaker 3847.88s - 850.88s

But listen, man, this is kind of just where I'm at with Alex Pineda PERSON.

Speaker 2850.98s - 876.02s

I have zero interest in seeing him compete for the light heavyweight title again, honestly, or any of the contenders. I don't really want to see him face Yuri PERSON again. Just doesn't really do it for me. Magumet PERSON-on-Khalyev, in terms of like a stylistic matchup, I want to see Alex Pidata PERSON at heavyweight. I think this guy has the best chanceout of any current UFC ORG fighter to be the first ever three-divisional UFC ORG champion,

Speaker 3876.22s - 885.04s

but he's 36 years old, right? So times just not really probably on his side here. And he didn't hang around 185 pounds for too long.

Speaker 2885.38s - 897.44s

I don't see why he would hang around now at 205 pounds. I want to see Elector Panetta PERSON heavyweight. And I just think we have to at least see him try to go up and compete to become that first ever three-divisional champion.

Speaker 1897.56s - 898.28s

He's earned it.

Speaker 2898.38s - 907.16s

I mean, he's absolutely earned it at this point. Just like we said, the way he burst onto the sport and what he's done in such a short amount of time. And, yeah, you factor in his age. You've got to give him the opportunity.

Speaker 0907.16s - 909.86s

Like at this point, like, the same boat.

Speaker 1909.94s - 916.34s

I don't necessarily want to see him against Syria GPE. There's not really anybody at 205 that really perks my interest for him. Give him the heavyweight shot.

Speaker 2916.34s - 921.4s

Whether that, like that's not going to be in Brazil GPE. But like as soon as we can make that happen, I wouldn't discount the Brazil GPE.

Speaker 1921.62s - 921.82s

Really?

Speaker 2921.94s - 926.48s

I mean, here's what I, you're probably right just because, like, we even got, like, the poster

Speaker 3926.48s - 928.4s

and everything's out, and they're promoting it as.

Speaker 2930.2s - 930.52s

Pentogen ORG.

Speaker 3930.84s - 931.98s

Yes, thank you.

Speaker 2932.06s - 941.34s

Yes, thank you, Erseg PERSON. But just because he goes up, just because, I'll say this, just because Alex Pidada's PERSON next fight is at heavyweight, doesn't mean it has to be Tom Aspinall PERSON per se.

Speaker 4941.46s - 941.7s

Right.

Speaker 0941.84s - 945.04s

And he didn't take any, I mean, he could go probably again today.

Speaker 2945.44s - 948.42s

Especially when you factor and he's not going to have to cut weight, right?

Speaker 5948.76s - 955.98s

So is there a world per se, like say, where maybe Alex Podeda fights Surreal Gone PERSON at

Speaker 2955.98s - 959.94s

301 as the co-main event? I mean, when there's not a title on the line.

Speaker 3959.94s - 973.78s

Who says no? Yeah, I mean, well, probably, you know what you want to know? Probably surreal gone. Yeah, the one guy who said no to a lot of people. Probably surreal gone, yeah. So that, that, so do I think it, if I had to sit here today and say, do I think the

Speaker 2973.78s - 986.14s

chain, like, if I had to lean one way, I'd say no, he's probably not going to be on 3-1. That's just typically not how the UFC ORG does things. But if the right fight fell off and they needed to put somebody on it, Marcyneemio PERSON, your phone might be ringing,

Speaker 5988.4s - 988.52s

and it might be Lexington GPE on the other side.

Speaker 3991.5s - 995.2s

Because we did see when he lost the 85, which he did lose, he had to fight what, once or twice at 12? He fought Blahovic and then he fought Yeri PERSON.

Speaker 2995.32s - 1001.82s

Okay, so he had to fight one before he got the belt. I have no problem just letting him go up and test the waters first. I actually probably would prefer it.

Speaker 51001.94s - 1002.1s

Yeah.

Speaker 21003s - 1014.3s

And then, yeah, then give this whole Aspinall Jones PERSON thing time, which we'll get to kind of some more of that a little bit later with maybe Aspinall and Podada PERSON. But it's definitely not going to be Aspinall at 301.

Speaker 31014.38s - 1020.5s

I can tell you that. Well, and I thought, you know, when I seen Aspinall PERSON in the crowd, the first thing I thought was like, man, this seems like a...

Speaker 21020.5s - 1022.2s

Oh, dude, the picture I sent you guys of...

Speaker 31022.2s - 1032.5s

Oh, yeah. Alex walking by him and Aspinall PERSON just staring him down. Like, oh, come on. Yeah. And there was obviously, you know, there was rumors of that being on 300 PRODUCT or being booked at some point.

Speaker 21032.62s - 1055.98s

So I definitely think it's there. And even his post fight saying he does want to defend the 205 belt, but he wants to fight at heavyweight two. Forget it, dude. And it's a super fight at this point because Aspinall PERSON, it is the interim title. You don't have to strip Alex PERSON necessarily or they can do that thing that they've done before where you literally strip him at second one of the fight, you know, so he can walk in as the champion.It really just would give it that big fight feel.

Speaker 31056.14s - 1069.06s

And I mean, come on, man. Like, to me, it's there. Like, that's all it needs is just to be put together. Yeah, it's a big win for, you know, I mean, there's a lot of winners on this card. And Alex PERSON is definitely among the top of those, man.

Speaker 21069.22s - 1105.84s

Absolutely. Gonna keep it moving. Kind of like last week when we're making our picks. Like, we got to kind of keep it moving here. Because, I mean, dude, we're about to get to this BMF ORG fight. I could probably talk an hour and a half on that alone.So we're going to have to keep it moving, though, trying to keep it short because we do want to touch every fight. In the co-main event boys. Jean-Wey Lee defeats yon Shao Noun PERSON by U unanimous decision. Fairly dominant performance by Wei Lee PERSON, I think. Um, but if I'm being honest, I was a bit more shocked, or should I say impressed by Jan

Speaker 01105.84s - 1110.92s

Shaunowne, even in a defeat. You know, we said these two were pretty similar last week. I think

Speaker 51110.92s - 1115.48s

that was one observation we all made. And then all of us just said, but way Lee PERSON's a little bit

Speaker 01115.48s - 1121.1s

better. I just didn't see Shaunale PERSON making this much of a fight of it. I mean, she definitely had

Speaker 21121.1s - 1127.72s

really big moments in this fight. Absolutely. You know, some things to consider for Wayley PERSON, especially in terms of the striking.

Speaker 01127.92s - 1131.48s

I mean, I just don't recall seeing maybe, did she fight Valentina, Wayley PERSON?

Speaker 31132s - 1132.44s

No.

Speaker 01132.84s - 1135.24s

She fought Rose and Joanna PERSON.

Speaker 31135.52s - 1137.72s

Yeah, or maybe he's Joanna PERSON and I'm thinking, I don't know.

Speaker 21137.72s - 1158.16s

But then again, when you think about it as well, this fight probably could have and should have been stopped in round one. Wayley definitely put Shoutdown PERSON to sleep there with a rear naked choke. So I guess in the end it did end with the better fighter winning, which is important here. But yeah, good showing by Way Lee PERSON. And yeah, I guess I don't know.I don't know what else to say about it.

Speaker 01158.22s - 1170.66s

It was just kind of, here's what's so tough. And even Dana said it is after that BMF ORG title he said the energy was sucked out of the building and I think that's kind of where we all were where this fight is like if there was one fight

Speaker 21170.66s - 1180.42s

that we were probably like least looking forward to anyways on the card if we're being honest and that's crazy to even say with how massive this fight was and how hyped it's been it was probably this one

Speaker 11180.42s - 1185.12s

maybe the bow brandage one as well it was a good fight. Like, Yon dropped, Yon dropped,

Speaker 21185.12s - 1195.46s

Way Lee PERSON. I mean, there was a lot of, there was a lot of big moments. Dude, any other pay-per-view, this is probably fine.But it's just like, it just was, it's being in between the two fights that it was in between,

Speaker 11195.58s - 1196s

just yeah.

Speaker 21196.1s - 1197.18s

Yeah, that's a tough spot to be.

Speaker 11197.64s - 1198.24s

To me,

Speaker 21198.32s - 1199.96s

the two big factors

Speaker 11199.96s - 1204.26s

really stood out between them were Waley PERSON's wrestling and grappling edge and then Yon's power.

Speaker 21204.38s - 1209.78s

The power, I did not, I did not see that coming coming uh obviously she had the knockout of her on drodge PRODUCT but

Speaker 31209.78s - 1214.98s

i to me that was almost just more she ran into it yeah i just kind of i don't want to say fluky but

Speaker 01214.98s - 1219s

you know all right but then for her to show it on display here against wiley was like okay no this is

Speaker 31219s - 1223.96s

just kind of yon PERSON as as a character here and so but as far as the fight itself it was a fantastic fight

Speaker 01223.96s - 1225.04s

a lot of cool transitions,

Speaker 31225.4s - 1226.62s

great grappling by Wayley PERSON.

Speaker 01226.62s - 1242.44s

And I just think Wei Lee PERSON had more ways to win, and she kind of showed it here. She was able to kind of adjust in the later rounds to the output that Yon was given in the first, or in the second, where she,I think that was where she got dropped. So good champions mentality from Wayley PERSON, from my perspective, but a great fight. I wouldn't even mind seeing it again in the future. So, yeah.

Speaker 31242.54s - 1251.02s

Yeah, I think it's a great showing for Shownana PERSON. And I think that they said it, even in the, like, the broadcaster,. I think it's a great showing for Shawnan PERSON. I think that they said it even in the broadcasts, like the rub she's going to get from having this experience is going to help her out a lot.

Speaker 11251.16s - 1308.3s

And then just the display they put on for China GPE's MMA scene, man. Like this is, like I said, this is probably the best strawweight fight I've seen in a long time. As far as backing forth, like with Shaanan PERSON being, every time she touched Weiley PERSON with the straight punches, especially, she was really hurting Wayley PERSON and putting Wayley on her back footand having to look for her takedowns. But I do think that, you know, when you get to a certain point, especially with all the tools that Wayley PERSON is added with her grappling, you just kind of seen her go through her whole bagand just that's the little bit that Yan Shanan PERSON is missing a little bit. I think she sees, because I thought some of her, even just some of her defensive jiu-jitsu was good. She got out of some bad position. Obviously bit. I think she sees, because I thought some of her, even just some of her defensive jiu-jitsu was good. She got out of some bad position. Obviously, the first round, she did end upgetting put out with that choke and was able to luckily stand up and kind of shake it off. But I also got to give her credit for how quick she shook that off because she immediately was back into the fight and doing a little bit better. But I think that you'll definitely,as long as Wei stays in the division and whatnot, I think that you'd definitely see her long as Wei Lee PERSON stays in the division and whatnot, I think that you'd definitely see her and shout on in the future.

Speaker 21308.62s - 1319.22s

And we're going to shelve what's next for Wei Lee PERSON a little bit later on the card. There's another fight that could have some title stipulations and we can kind of discuss then. So we are going to move on, boys, and in the lightweight division.

Speaker 41328.06s - 1330.14s

Max PERSON, blessed Hollowayfeats Justin Gage

Speaker 21330.14s - 1365.54s

Via first, fifth round knockout To capture the BMF ORG title, boys I almost don't even know how to even start with it Like where do you even start with a fight like this I mean knockout of the year Fight of the year EVENT for me as up to this point.I mean, that finishing sequence is just, I told you guys last night. I mean, talk about another legendary moment. You know, Max, pointing to the canvas with 10 seconds left, both throwing, credit to Gachi PERSON for being willing to comeige to even to come in. Yes, to exchange

Speaker 31365.54s - 1371.12s

But then for him to finish with one second left literally one second left a shot like that

Speaker 21371.12s - 1390.68s

And then when you factor in this was a guy in Max Holloway PERSON that had this fight won I mean he was what he this fight was done dusted And then maybe he lost a fourth round by a knock with the knockdown I don't know if you guys actually saw That's what I was going in my head is there's actually they released the score cards. One judge had this fight two, two going into the fifth.

Speaker 31391.1s - 1392.52s

They gave Gagie two and four.

Speaker 51392.72s - 1399.22s

Crazy. Don't even know how you got to that. But whatever. Doesn't even matter today. You don't leave it to the judges.

Speaker 31399.44s - 1399.64s

Yeah.

Speaker 21399.8s - 1402.06s

But easily Max PERSON could have held out for a decision.

Speaker 31402.32s - 1406.12s

Instead decides to put it all in the line, throw down for those last 10 seconds TIME.

Speaker 21406.8s - 1413.96s

What a moment here by Max PERSON. What a performance. And I told you guys last night, and I still feel that way today, we're going to be seeing that highlight for the rest of our lives.

Speaker 51414.08s - 1415.64s

Kind of like the Barbosa PERSON spin kick,

Speaker 21415.72s - 1423.66s

I think, just one of the coolest finishes that I can think of in UFC ORG history in terms of just the whole, like, no, like you almost have to watch the whole fight

Speaker 31423.66s - 1430.5s

to appreciate it, just him being willing to do that um it's exactly what this title shouldn't stand for i think dana even said

Speaker 21430.5s - 1435.24s

that as well um when you factor even the title they were fighting on that is how a bmf title like

Speaker 01435.24s - 1440.52s

you don't like try to decision to a bmf title win no you you do exactly this and that's why

Speaker 11440.52s - 1454.2s

both of these guys were in this fight and again justin gaitie deserves to me so much praise as well for hanging in there. And yeah, excepting the fight. Like even Max PERSON said, you know, he had everything to lose nothing to really gain from a lot of this, you know, and to go out there and fight Max Holloway PERSON.

Speaker 01454.56s - 1472.6s

Yeah. To me, like, one of the bigger things, I kind of, I didn't sleep at all last night, by the way. But, like, you know. Reflecting on, like, kind of the, what this fight means, like, kind of overall trajectory-wise, like, thinking about Max Holloway Lost three times to Volk his most recent fight was the win over zombie PERSON I believe right, but if you had told me that sitting here today

Speaker 31472.6s - 1495.96s

Like Max is gonna win a 155 belt. I get it's the BMF ORG belt but knocking out just engage Yeah, the number one contender right while Volk is on a two fight skid here with two knock I lost like just looking at kind of Max PERSON's Transcendence is just crazy. Like to see that he's kind of reinvigorated his career at this point. Because after the Volk losses, it was kind of like, well, you know, what does Max PERSON do here? And now the world is his oyster, whether it's 45 or 55.

Speaker 01496.12s - 1513s

And it was all of his performance. And the fight itself even, I feel like Max PERSON really kind of locked back into utilizing specific techniques, like against an opponent in terms of game planning. Like, it seemed to me, like, with that spin kick, we talked about it, very clearly was, like, prepped for Gaichi PERSON as far as that folding forward. He landed every single one.

Speaker 31513s - 1517.68s

He landed at least once every round. Yeah, there was a read. He knew. Yeah. The jab, like,

Speaker 21517.68s - 1521.62s

dealt with the leg kicks fine. Like, everything was just great as far as Maxwell PERSON always

Speaker 11521.62s - 1527.52s

performance was concerned. I know. Man, and, you know, the other thing when when you talk about, like, giving, you know, Gai Chi's PERSON props,

Speaker 21527.52s - 1531.6s

like, to respond from the broken nose that came from a heel hitting him the last second

Speaker 31531.6s - 1532.52s

of the first round.

Speaker 01533.44s - 1542.54s

And then even for, you know, he poured on the leg kicks as best as he could, but, I mean, at the end of the day, I mean, they said Max PERSON was still walking around post-fight, even though his leg was swollen.

Speaker 21542.66s - 1548.02s

Yeah. There was nothing that was going to stop that Max Holloway PERSON. It's probably not going to be walking today.

Speaker 31548.22s - 1576.6s

Yeah. And, you know, as much as this is, you know, a fight of the year candidate, a knockout of the year candidate, possibly, you know, a top three accolade on Max PERSON's, you know, career. Another thing for me with this is becoming is like, and obviously it's a little bit of recency bias, but this is jumping into the, oh don't know about mama watch this fight or like that this became one of those it's almost like the forest um bonner PERSON fight but just on a whole other i mean

Speaker 21576.6s - 1580.84s

from where the sports at now it's just a whole different level yeah i think the focus too for max

Speaker 31580.84s - 1586.22s

like i mean from second one like just visually his, he was just lasered in, man.

Speaker 11586.22s - 1588.6s

Like, I just don't know that we've ever seen him like that.

Speaker 01588.66s - 1592.62s

And one thing I thought about this morning and didn't bring it up last night because I

Speaker 11592.62s - 1593.8s

said I thought about it this morning.

Speaker 31594.44s - 1597.72s

If you watched our guest to finish video, one of them was the Yair PERSON.

Speaker 11597.9s - 1602.82s

And I said in that video that Yair PERSON's last second finish of zombie is something we'd probably

Speaker 01602.82s - 1603.64s

never seen again.

Speaker 21603.74s - 1605.64s

I think I was like, it's just kind of a one of one man.

Speaker 01605.72s - 1615.16s

We'll probably never see anything like it. And shame on me because nothing is impossible in this sport. Again, I've watched it long enough that I should have known. Of course, the next pay-per-view it's going to happen.

Speaker 51615.54s - 1622.8s

You know what I mean? But like, just, I mean, you go back and they show the replay and Justin PERSON's face literally hits the canvas at once.

Speaker 21622.9s - 1626.62s

I mean, it's just, it's like literally something out of a movie, man.

Speaker 41626.7s - 1626.84s

Yeah.

Speaker 51626.84s - 1627.5s

Just crazy.

Speaker 21628.76s - 1649.86s

And moving on, spinning it forward, you know, D.C. GPE said something that I totally agree with, and that is this version, this lightweight version, I'll say, of Max PERSON, may be the best that we have seen in a while. This isn't a guy who necessarily is a big finisher at featherweight. So to see him do this to a guy like Gagy, like John PERSON said, this is the number one, one of the best lightweights competing right now

Speaker 31649.86s - 1651.64s

in one of the best divisions. Could have fought for the title title.

Speaker 21651.84s - 1691.46s

Absolutely. It's crazy. Kind of makes you almost want to see more of Max PERSON at this weight, right? So let's talk about it because Max Holloway PERSON, in my opinion, can now do, like Brandon PERSON said, whatever he wants. Stay at lightweight to fight Islamahakshed PERSON for the title.He can go back down to featherweight and challenge Ilya PERSON to featherweight title, but I think as a fan, if I had a preference, I'd much rather see the matchup between Max PERSON and Ilya PERSON to puttipolia. I just think stylistically that fight is too good. And to see that striking chess match kind of play out would just be so fun. Doing it in Spain, I think, if they did it in Spain, even,

Speaker 31691.8s - 1702s

I think it's possibly one of the, if not the biggest fights the UFC could make right now today. And for Max PERSON, I think lightweight was kind of, it's always going to be there, right?

Speaker 51702.28s - 1705.34s

So keep, if he can keep making the 145 pound

Speaker 01705.34s - 1710.72s

weight while then um eventually in the future going up to light weight he could essentially have a

Speaker 21710.72s - 1734.08s

whole second career up there plus he could then take the bmf title down to featherweight and almost give it some fresh life down there give some guys down there a chance to compete for it let it have a run in another division could be fun um but either way Max Holloway star is shining brighter than it ever has today. Coming off that gate you win, and I'll just be excited to see him compete for either title next, whichever it is, but what do you guys think?

Speaker 11734.7s - 1773.64s

I, so I'm probably going to get some flag for this. I love the Aaliyah PERSON fight. I do. I think it's a great stylistic matchup. It's going to be a ton of fun. But as far as like the career and trajectory of Max PERSON,I just think that it's way more fun and interesting for me to see him at 55. Like after, let's say he fights, I'll say he wins, let's say wins. To me, I'm less interested to see what he does after that. Like he's, he's defended the 45 bell. He's won the 45 belt. I want to see what's new and fresh at 55, especially with the fresher max, the bigger max, the max that looks really healthy in there. He looks, you know, very much like he acclimated into the weight class,which is something we wanted to make sure he was able to do, which he did. So to me, it's like,

Speaker 01773.64s - 1790.1s

okay, you know, the Ilya PERSON fight's great. I'm not knocking that, but I just think that there's more in that extended career, like what you're kind of referring to for max at 55, and there's tons of matches at 55 as well so that's what i honestly would prefer but i love the the fight with ilia PERSON but to me that's

Speaker 21790.1s - 1805.7s

kind of a it kind of just stops there like in terms of my interest but i guess it my biggest worry is i feel like stylistically we probably have an idea how max versus is going to go down i mean i would never rule or count max out but i mean you kind of know what you're going to get from Islam ORG.

Speaker 01805.82s - 1808.68s

I mean, hey, Volk PERSON handled it pretty well, still lost twice.

Speaker 21809.74s - 1818.72s

But, you know, we've also known where the gap between Volk and Max PERSON is. So I guess my thing is just in terms of styles, I'd rather see that match up with Ilias PERSON more where it comes from.

Speaker 31818.9s - 1880.06s

But I mean, dude, like either way, like, there's just not really a wrong move here for Max PERSON. Yeah, he's in an interesting position of, you know, it's similar to the position he was after beating zombie PERSON where it's like you can fight at 55 you can stay at 45 you have you know big names attached to you now he has that same thing except for it's you know title title or defend this bmf against somebody exactly because you know we'll get to it in the news but you know not only is is i'm spoken for currently but there's another contender on this card who has a little bit of a stronger claim at a 55 shot title than maybe a max just because of the storyline and how it's built up. And then even at 45, we stillhave Volk PERSON there who, up into this point, has been the person that they said he's fighting for the title next against Ilya. So you don't know if you're going to put Max PERSON in ahead of Volk or what you're going to do there. but having the BMF ORG title allows him basically whatever he does next it'll be for a title and probably main eventing because now he has that attached to him there is like uh you know some other names like even uh like Connor McGregor PERSON or somebody else who

Speaker 21880.06s - 1886.52s

can be tied to him he said in his post fight Connor McGregor PERSON thinks he's the BMF so his quote was we have a lot of options and like we'll get that news a little bit well as well but max just can be tied to him. He said in his post fight, Connor McGregor PERSON thinks he's the BMF, so his quote was, we have a lot of options.

Speaker 31886.68s - 1897.02s

Yeah, we'll get to that news a little bit well as well, but Max PERSON just could not be in a better position right now. I mean, literally three big fights, and it's almost his choice to pick.

Speaker 51898.24s - 1898.6s

Maybe,

Speaker 21898.76s - 1902.52s

yeah, the Volk PERSON thing, like he's probably the most deserving if somebody was more deserving.

Speaker 11902.6s - 1904.26s

Be right back. Yeah, I'm not got a coffee fit. Oh,

Speaker 51904.26s - 1904.66s

you're good, man.

Speaker 11904.68s - 1906.28s

I can mute you if you want to let it rip. He's, he's, you know, he's probably the most deserving if somebody was more deserving. Be right back. Yeah, you're good. I can mute you if you want to let it rip.

Speaker 51907.32s - 1912.62s

He's, uh, he's, you know, he's probably the best in terms of lines or in terms of being

Speaker 21912.62s - 1916.24s

in line for the, um, the featherweight title.

Speaker 41916.36s - 1921.7s

If we have over max if it was somebody else. But yeah, I mean, to sit here and be essentially having three different titles that you

Speaker 21921.7s - 1931.64s

could compete for, the BMF ORG title is right there as well as you're mentioning. And that's what I'm saying. Like, dude, there's just not a wrong move here. And I'm just really excited to see what's next.

Speaker 31931.64s - 1941.48s

Well, and the pressure he's putting on the UFC ORG now because now, you know, there is other matchups for all these champions, but none of them are really bigger than Max PERSON as far as the name and what he brings to it.

Speaker 21941.98s - 1965.8s

And our next fight are Montseruquia defeats Charles Olivera PERSON via split decision. Definitely didn't understand the split here. I felt like this was clearly Armand winning 29, 28, Olivera won round one. I thought with that guillotine attempt, it was super close. And also, can we just stop and appreciate Sarukian getting out of that guillotine,

Speaker 01966.04s - 1990.56s

shades of Volcan Ortega PERSON in there? I mean, how he survived that. We all thought it was over. I was like, oh, that's it. That was quick. But somehow Armand PERSON makes it out, gets to round two. And then he just kind of really took over with the wrestling from there. Oliveira did have that Darce attempt there in the third. But Serucine PERSON was never really in trouble, even giving the thumbs up. He was just kind of of chilling there so not close enough to steal the round there at least for me um so i'm glad i'm

Speaker 31990.56s - 2000.48s

glad they did in the end get it right because man it would be a crime if we were sitting here today i think in charles olivera PERSON somehow won that fight i think we i could comfortably say you know sometimes

Speaker 52000.48s - 2009.76s

you're like oh i couldn't win either way like no do like armand sarugian won that Yeah. I think that this is the one that I definitely, although we already had three other five-round

Speaker 32009.76s - 2030.26s

fights, I'd love to see this one, keep going, because it seems like they both still had stuff to offer. And Charles PERSON is always dangerous. But I do think Surukian PERSON definitely showed his medal as far as, especially with the wrestling, and even the grappling transitions, being able to survive some situations and positions that a lot of people struggle in against somebody like Charles PERSON, especially in the scrambles.

Speaker 12030.62s - 2049.7s

I think Sarukin just definitely took a page out of Islam ORG's book, like just the chest-to-chest pressure, able to really close the space off when they were on the ground, and then on the feet even, he just played a lot of really good combos and just some high-fired IQ, I think,just from Sarukin GPE in terms of the stylistic matchup itself. But the guillotine, do you guys mention that?

Speaker 22049.7s - 2052.3s

Yes. Yeah, that was just... I couldn't believe it. Nasty.

Speaker 12052.5s - 2055.6s

So, yeah, there's a lot of fortitude from Sarukin GPE as well just to get through that.

Speaker 22055.72s - 2063.42s

Yeah, I mean, dude, that's what I said when you were out there. I said it's like, it was like Volk Ortega PERSON. And it's like you're sitting here like, yeah, how do you get out of that?

Speaker 32063.52s - 2084.62s

You know, I don't know how somebody survives that. So... Yeah, and Olivera, too, I think that, you know, one of his missteps in this was spending so much time on his back to look for the submissions. Sometimes they would come right at the end of a round and it'd feel kind of close. Like that triangle in the second round was really close, but, you know, six, seven more seconds, he probably locks that in and wins, but it's just a little too, little too late with some of his game planning with that.

Speaker 22084.88s - 2090.54s

And as John mentioned, you know, we do know Islam Mahashev will be taking on Dustin Porre at 302.

Speaker 32091.28s - 2091.74s

Yeah.

Speaker 22091.86s - 2092.78s

I believe it's 302.

Speaker 32093.42s - 2097.98s

So, you know, if I'm Suruky and I'm holding out for a winner of that fight, Pori PERSON and

Speaker 22097.98s - 2102.84s

Mahashev PERSON, you know, the only fight I could see him kind of entertaining is maybe the Gamrot rematch.

Speaker 52103.22s - 2106.8s

The first one was really close, so maybe he'd want to get that win back.

Speaker 22107.3s - 2112.22s

But especially if Islam wins against Porriere, I think Armand Sarukian PERSON has to be next

Speaker 02112.22s - 2134.54s

for the title, especially if Max PERSON decides to go back down to featherweight. I do still think, as I said, Max Holloway deserves the right to decide and get first dibs. But if he does go back down, then Saruki and Mahashev PERSON rematch to me make so much sense. Now, I will say my biggest worry for Saruki and holding out is, as John PERSON also said, we do know. Connor McGregor is coming back this summer. We'll discuss more about that in the news.

Speaker 22134.54s - 2145.62s

But if McGregor was to defeat Michael Chandler, the UFC will be salivating to throw him in there with either Islamahashev or Dustin Porier PERSON. And that is just facts son

Speaker 52145.62s - 2147.82s

they are going to be lighten up so

Speaker 22147.82s - 2155.92s

that would be the only thing I would worry about for Sarukian is McGregor PERSON's that X-Factor man and he could get leaped. Yeah the UFC ORG has

Speaker 32155.92s - 2193.52s

one of those this is one of those like good problems it's not good for the person who doesn't end up getting the look but when you have a max and a Sarukian and Tuporia and Connor PERSON, and you have all these different pieces like you have so many matchups you can make,whereas sometimes we've had things with champions where it's like, even for Alex PERSON, like we don't really have anybody that people are clamoring to see him fight. For, you know, especially for 55, now you just have, and that just kind of goes back into how stack that division is and how huge it is, is just as far as having all these names and people who are in this situation to, like, really throw their hat in there.

Speaker 12194.32s - 2200.22s

Just the fact that we can even mention McGregor in a title in 2024, given everything, is just bananas to me.

Speaker 32200.22s - 2204.32s

Do it again in 2034, because as long as he's fighting, it's just how it is.

Speaker 12205.34s - 2213.96s

Oh, yeah, okay, next, sorry, boys. Next fight. Bo Nickel defeats Cody Brundage via second round rear naked choke.

Speaker 22214.56s - 2224.36s

We definitely saw Bo PERSON a little bit more tested in this fight. I don't know if he was necessarily in terms, tested in terms of the fight itself, but more in terms of the clock, right?

Speaker 32224.36s - 2227.7s

Just accruing minutes in there, or recruiting, excuse me.

Speaker 22228.06s - 2230.64s

He still made pretty easy work of Brunage PERSON, though, I thought.

Speaker 12230.76s - 2233.94s

But your guys' thoughts on Bo's third UFC ORG fight and win.

Speaker 22234.14s - 2238.5s

Yeah, I mean, it's tough to, he's kind of in that spot where if he's not blowing somebody

Speaker 02238.5s - 2241.56s

out of the water in first round, it's like he looks underwhelming.

Speaker 12241.64s - 2245.84s

I think that was kind of what this was going to be if he didn't finish in the first

Speaker 02245.84s - 2246.14s

round.

Speaker 22246.2s - 2250.3s

But I guess my other criticism, if I'm going to start with those, is it just seems like

Speaker 12250.3s - 2254.28s

when he was on top position on the ground, he just was not letting his hands go.

Speaker 52254.44s - 2255.3s

Bo PERSON has power.

Speaker 12255.6s - 2257.46s

Like, I think that's pretty well established at this point.

Speaker 52257.5s - 2263s

When he's on the feet, he has a fantastic overhand right leading into that little knee tap that he hits. I think it's his right.

Speaker 12264.12s - 2269.52s

I wonder why we just don't see more of that when he's on the ground. I wonder if that's more just that wrestling hits i think it's his right um i just i wonder why we just don't see more that when he's on the ground i wonder if that's more just that wrestling habit of not

Speaker 02269.52s - 2278.08s

wanting to give up space that he's going to have to work on breaking but it's just wild to see a guy who goes out and pretty much dominates the entire fight get the second round sub and feel like eh

Speaker 12278.08s - 2282.24s

that was pretty good yeah it's just good but that's kind of where he's at yeah and i think not

Speaker 32282.24s - 2292.4s

only in how long the fight lasted did you see but you've seen somebody be able to like offer something in the wrestling it wasn't just somebody just getting flatlined and then he's just on top of him doing brundage gave him

Speaker 12292.4s - 2297.36s

resistance and that's just something that you know we hadn't seen yet and you know i'd said last

Speaker 52297.36s - 2324.08s

night like i feel like not having cage time is like kind of hurting a little bit of his progression because obviously he's not you know 18 19 he's he's been through other sports like he kind of hurting a little bit of his progression because obviously he's not, you know, 18, 19. He's, he's been through other sports. Like, he kind of needs to immerse himself, I feel like, and be more active to kind of keep getting better and keep showing himself because, like, you're on the main card of the biggest pay-per-view ever against somebody who, you know, probably shouldn't have been on the card. You know, he's on there because you're on there.

Speaker 02324.16s - 2333.36s

So it just, I'd love just keep him see progressing. I know he caught out fluffy. That's something that would be cool. But I just want to see more of Bo PERSON, just to see what he really is.

Speaker 22333.8s - 2342.24s

Yeah, I think too, like with the, you know, you saying how, you know, he's giving himself a hard time when he just went out and made that fight. I mean, he's still, like, pretty much dominated, right?

Speaker 32342.9s - 2347.22s

But you have to also considering where he is coming from the whole wrestling background. And then the level that he's still, like, pretty much dominated, right? But you have to also, considering where he is coming from the whole wrestling background

Speaker 52347.22s - 2350.3s

and then the level that he's, you know, used to competing in himself,

Speaker 32350.48s - 2353.48s

he's probably just used to putting a ton of pressure on himself as well.

Speaker 22353.48s - 2358.2s

And I couldn't imagine, you know, especially a sport like wrestling, where it is, I mean,

Speaker 02358.22s - 2361.38s

it's a team sport, but it's also very an individual sport almost.

Speaker 52361.94s - 2367.68s

And so to go out and, you know, just to put that pressure on yourself week in and week out when, you know, your season's going.

Speaker 22367.86s - 2394.22s

And then, you know, I think when you're at the level that Bo was at Penn State ORG, you probably don't really have much of an offseason, honestly. You know, it's just a year-round thing. So I'm sure he's just a guy that's just used to putting a ton of pressure on himself. And I think it's good because it's only going to continue to hopefully push him and make him better. I totally agree with your observation though, Brandon PERSON. And I think it's good because it's only going to continue to hopefully push him and make him better.I totally agree with your observation though, Brandon PERSON. And I do hope that we do see him go back and kind of work on the ground and pound aspect of his game because it was there.

Speaker 02394.36s - 2402.96s

I mean, he could have, I think at one point he was even had like that wrist ride and could have just been knocking. Brunage PERSON was just like making faces. Like, no, you got to punch him, dude.

Speaker 12403.1s - 2408.06s

Like don't make him pay for that. So to me, it's not easy. It's a simple fix. Not an easy one,

Speaker 22408.12s - 2413.46s

but he implements the striking into the wrestling so well on the feet. Now you just got to do the same thing on the ground. And you know he's a worker,

Speaker 12413.6s - 2426.8s

so you don't have to worry about him going back and putting the work in. So, boys, the next fight, Yeri Prohashka defeats Alexander Rackage via second round TKO. Why not?

Speaker 22428.12s - 2428.32s

Was it TKO right?

Speaker 32428.84s - 2429.1s

Yeah, okay, okay. Okay, okay.

Speaker 22429.98s - 2432.1s

Uh, yeah, bring a shotgun, boys.

Speaker 32432.28s - 2437.64s

Yuri PERSON, I mean, Yuri's legs were just absolutely ruined within about 15 seconds of this fight.

Speaker 22438.08s - 2444.22s

And Alexander Rackage PERSON just teed off on him almost the entirety of round one. And Yeri PERSON just kept coming forward.

Speaker 02444.32s - 2470.58s

And credit to Rackage, too, who I thought given the loss kind of like the show now looked really good here one of the better showings I feel like we've seen from Rackage outside of like that Jimmy Mannawa fight I think we'll definitely see Rackage back in the title picture at some point and I think he beats most guys fighting like this if I'm being honest in this division but man belonged to Yeri PERSON, who just kept coming forward, found the finish in the end and gets right back in the wind column.

Speaker 52470.94s - 2474.16s

Yeah, I mean, how do you beat a guy who's just willing to stand outside of the stadium for 30 minutes?

Speaker 02475.08s - 2475.28s

Yeah.

Speaker 22475.28s - 2476.8s

At midnight, the night before the fight.

Speaker 12476.98s - 2477.62s

Visualized it all, you know.

Speaker 22477.8s - 2478.68s

After playing Blackjack.

Speaker 32478.88s - 2489.04s

Yeah, I don't know if you guys saw listening, but what Brannins, there's a video of a guy, yeah witnessed yury i think was it like did he say like midnight around something like that yeah sometime in the

Speaker 22489.04s - 2493.1s

middle of the night before the fight year he's just outside of the team mobile arena FAC and he goes

Speaker 32493.1s - 2497.68s

the guy goes in for 20 30 minutes and comes and he's still standing out there just staring at the

Speaker 22497.68s - 2503.06s

building of the front of the team mobile FAC arena i mean dude yeah yeah so to me like the fight i think

Speaker 12503.06s - 2512.54s

given how much his legs were just absolutely chewed up in this fight and his ability to still move and kind of create some footwork and some good angles to end up landing that finishing shot that dropped them,

Speaker 02512.7s - 2524.76s

I just think really speaks to Yuri PERSON's fortitude coming off the loss and just, you know, all of those facets. So great win for Yuri, but like you said, Radji PERSON looked really good as well. It was just kind of, this was just a crazy night for the card itself.

Speaker 32524.76s - 2528.94s

Like a lot of these guys who lost, yeah, you lost, but you looked really good in your loss.

Speaker 12529.06s - 2530.86s

Like don't, you know, take some flowers with it as well.

Speaker 32531.24s - 2537.9s

So. Well, I remember even saying, like, you know, this had to be a nightmare for Rackage PERSON. It's like, you've kicked this guy in the leg 20-something times.

Speaker 12538.38s - 2542.52s

You know, you've seen him, like, struggle to stay on his feet. You've hit him with big shots as well.

Speaker 02542.64s - 2594.24s

And he just keeps coming at you. Doesn't fade. It's constantly pushing at you like a wounded animal almost like a bear or something where it's like, dude, I just shot you. What are you doing? I can't imagine how scary that is. And then obviously just his year he's like just whole mystique and build anyways. You have the ponytail coming at you. The faces he's making at you are probably crazy. But it just kind of goes to to show just who year he is, man. It does also kind of make you think like, man's making at you are probably crazy. But it just kind of goes to show just whoyear he is, man. It does also kind of make you think like, man, I bet you he probably recovers from the knockdown from Alex PERSON in their fight because this dude just eats everything and bounces back, man. I don't think anybody signs up to fight him because of that because there's no really great way to like deal with him unless you could maybe hold him down or something but um he definitely puts himself right back up there and i'll be interested to see how they end up booking him definitely needs to take some time off for them legs though because they look like he had like a sunburn on both of his legs yeah

Speaker 22594.24s - 2631.44s

he did say he wants the title next but man i'll be honest with you guys i don't see how magomed uncle i can get denied again in my opinion you know to me magomed should be next um or do you guys do, or maybe do you do, like, Prohashka versus Magumet PERSON next? I just think either way, Magelajov PERSON needs to factor into this title picture or this next title fight for 205, whether Alex PERSON vacates, he's still a champion. Like, I think Magomed's unbeat in, like, ten fights. I mean, he does have the draw with Jan Blahovic, who even Jan Blahovic said he won that. Like, he should have never been a champion. I think Magomed's unbeat in like 10 fights. I mean, he does have the draw withJan Blahovic PERSON, who even Jan Blahovic said he won that. He should have never been a draw. He had the eye poke against

Speaker 32631.44s - 2634.14s

Johnny Walker PERSON. And got the win back after

Speaker 22634.14s - 2661.28s

that. Yeah, yeah. So to me, exactly. So like to me, there's just no question. I mean, he's beat Johnny Walker PERSON. He's beat Jan Blokovic PERSON regardless of what the results say. Your picture fell there, Brandon. I just think to me it's got Jan Blokhovich PERSON, regardless of what the results say. Your picture fellthere, Brandon. I just think to me it's got to be Maguemad, Ancolaev PERSON. I mean, with all respect to Yuri. If they want to do Yuri versus Magomad for a number one contender, wait and see what this whole Lex PERSON thing happens. But yeah, you can't be leaping him. Well, it's, what's difficult is when

Speaker 32661.28s - 2683.96s

you're not active, because obviously that fight with Johnny Walker was in January. And then even before that, obviously there were some time. Like after the draw, there was a weird like time. We didn't see him for a while. I think that when people are making statements like, but here he just did last night and stuff, it does make you a little bit more forgettable. So he needs to kind of start kind of politicking for himself or people are just going to not think about it.I feel like.

Speaker 12684.04s - 2690.1s

Yeah, because Uncle I isn't really your staying out personality. Like him and Yuri PERSON, you're obviously world apart in terms of what you can get.

Speaker 32690.22s - 2713.3s

And so, yeah, he's going to have to do something and kind of get himself on the map, whether it's, you know, a fight with Yuri PERSON or for the title because, yeah. I think the Yuri PERSON fight makes sense, though. I think especially because we don't know what's going to happen with Alex PERSON, but also like, you know, just wait to see what the injuries for a year he might be for his legs. Or even with Alex PERSON, maybe he wants to let that toe rest a little bit that he broke.And then now you open that up for him.

Speaker 22713.94s - 2744.44s

Al Jermaine Sterling Boys defeats Calvin Cater PERSON via unanimous decision. Won't get much easier than that for Aljo at Featherway FAC. Yeah, we talked about it. Not sure if it was just the layoff for Cater PERSON or what, but this was just not the Calvin Cater PERSON that we are accustomed to seeing. Basically offered nothing in terms of offense here.And that's not Aljo PERSON's fault. He did what he needed to do, but it's hard not to wonder if it was just a good performance from Aljo or just a really bad one from Calvin Cater PERSON. Your guys' thoughts.

Speaker 12744.76s - 2749.06s

Yeah, I mean, I guess the staying out aspect of it for me was the takedowns of Aljo or just a really bad one from Calvin Cater PERSON, your guys' thoughts. Yeah, I mean, what I guess the staying out aspect of it for me was to take downs of

Speaker 22749.06s - 2753.64s

Aljo because obviously Cater was boosting that 91% take down defense prior to that.

Speaker 02754.14s - 2757.98s

And I mean, you know, boxing or no boxing, the takedown offense was there for Algro

Speaker 22757.98s - 2759.56s

and he was able to land pretty well.

Speaker 02759.88s - 2788.28s

I mean, even had a little Batista bomb there and like the second shot around. I mean, just really started to kind of let himself go there and you don't really show it. I mean, he just kind of controlled most aspects of the fight, even in the striking like you said, not a lot of offense from Cater PERSON. So it's tough.Like, how much of it was Cater just not showing up versus Aljo PERSON as that guy? But Aljo PERSON looked really good. He looked big. He looked like he really filled into the 145. And if he can show up like that against other guys in the division,I don't see why he isn't making a run and getting up there in the top five.

Speaker 22788.44s - 2799.28s

It's pretty soon. I saw the official pre-fight pictures of Aljo PERSON, the first kind of look at him and his fight kid at Featherway FAC. And I send it to you guys and ask if I could change my pick from Captain Cater PERSON.

Speaker 02799.4s - 2802.58s

Because, yeah, Aljo PERSON filled out really nicely for the division.

Speaker 12802.72s - 2805.58s

And I agree, he deserves credit for a really good debut.

Speaker 02805.7s - 2807.82s

Like I said, regardless of Cater PERSON, it's just a good debut.

Speaker 22808.12s - 2812.32s

Yeah, I think he did a really good job of kind of, and maybe it was Cater PERSON not doing it,

Speaker 32812.32s - 2824.62s

but it could have been Aljo PERSON taking it away. Cater PERSON just wasn't throwing out his jab at all. And he has a boxing base, so when you're not doing that, it hurts you. And then Aljo PERSON was even landing kind of his, like, wild outside punches to get to his take downs.

Speaker 02824.62s - 2855.02s

I think Aljo PERSON had more significant strikes than cater through period. Probably. And it's one of those things. And then obviously with the control time and then eventually getting to the sub, and it's kind of crazy for as good as that performance was, as exciting as his whole card was,that kind of seemed like the more kind of like chill, energy-wise fight because of the way Aljo PERSON fights. But as far as the performance he put on, I think he's putting himself in a spot to where if there's an opening, if there's somebody looking for a fight in that top, you know, six or so, he could definitely be there.

Speaker 22855.02s - 2871.04s

They said on the broadcast, Aljo was offered Arnold Allen PERSON as well for UFC 300. So I'm not sure how they landed on Calvin Cater PERSON, whose decision that was. But if the UFC still has an appetite for Al Jermaine Sterling and Arnold Allen PERSON, I think that's a great one. I think I'd make a ton of sense.

Speaker 52871.52s - 2873.98s

It'd be an even better kind of measure.

Speaker 02874.04s - 2877.64s

Well, it's not even a measuring stick at that point of Aljo because if he beats Arnold Allen PERSON,

Speaker 22877.76s - 2894.1s

he's right in line for the title shot, if not number one contender. So even if you're Arnold Allen PERSON, that's a great fight to take right now who, you know, is a guy that really needs a big win, right, to get himself back into it. So if they still like that fight, UFC London ORG is coming up.

Speaker 32894.44s - 2901.88s

We know we've talked about it and we're going to keep talking about it. That's a great fight for that card. I seen Aljo did call for Ortega PERSON as well.

Speaker 22902.12s - 2909.5s

They both have the same management. That's a fun fun. That is a great fight too. And he said it like obviously all respect because they have the same manager, but well. They both have the same management. That is a great fight too. He said it like obviously all respect because they have the same manager, but they're both going for the same thing.

Speaker 52909.62s - 2918.96s

I definitely, obviously, I think that this guy earned or deserves more than this, but him and Mobs PERSON are something that I would love to see as well. Just the grappling exchanges that you would get from him.

Speaker 22919.4s - 2941.94s

Next fight boys, Kayla Harrison defeats Holly Holm via second round, rear naked choke. Another debut, boys, that it just doesn't get much easier than that. And even in terms of a UFC ORG debut, right, we've seen people, we've talked about it with the MVP debut, it's like a lot of fighters typically struggle in their UFC ORG debut, flawless

Speaker 52941.94s - 2959.36s

here by Kayla Harrison PERSON. I did think it was a bit interesting to see Holly kind of initiate that first initial grappling exchange, but ultimately I don't think it was ever going to matter, especially seeing that double leg in round two that was just insane. And then once Kayla Harrison PERSON is on top, good luck to any lady in this division.

Speaker 12959.6s - 2961.54s

I just don't know who's going to stop that, man.

Speaker 22961.7s - 2968.82s

I just don't. She was talking about the elbows leading up to this kind of being a difference maker. And I really didn't think it would be. I was like, ah, you know, elbows are big, but I don't see who's going to stop that man i just don't she was talking about the elbows leading up to this kind of being a difference maker and i really didn't think it would be i was like i you know just elbows are

Speaker 12968.82s - 2972.02s

big but i don't see him being a difference maker like that just because you couldn't throw him

Speaker 02972.02s - 3005.76s

but man when she was on top she started throwing it was like oh no okay i see i see what she means here like yeah it was just slicing through holly home and able to kind of pass her guard i mean it just once she got a hold of holly really wasn't much that she could do. Just much bigger, stronger, very technical. I mean, Holly got the reversal with the first initial throw. But, yeah, I just think Kayla's size and strength, because Kayla just kind of stood up and just reversed Holly PERSON out of it. And, yeah, fantastic performance.Not a whole lot of striking exchanges, I guess, to make from it. But the double leg, I kind of was interested to see if she would hit that. And because there's a big difference between clinching against the fence and trying to grab some, like, headlocks versus shooting a double leg, I kind of was interested to see if she would hit that. And because there's a big difference between clenching against the fence

Speaker 53005.76s - 3009.72s

and trying to grab some headlocks versus shooting a double leg inside of open space.

Speaker 03009.8s - 3010.6s

And Kayla PERSON can do that.

Speaker 53010.64s - 3012.4s

So I think that's a massive difference between her.

Speaker 03012.52s - 3015.7s

And for instance, like, A Ronda PERSON, who a lot of people compare her to. So I think that's important.

Speaker 23015.78s - 3034.16s

You said the striking real quick. I think it was either, I think it was the right head kick. She threw twice. And I was really impressed with that from Kayla PERSON. I mean, really good dexterity. She threw it, like, really good dexterity she threw it likereally kind of fat and for somebody like holly who's a really credentialed kickboxer it seemed to kind of mess her up a little bit give her timing it you know things like that but again when you're

Speaker 33034.16s - 3038.64s

so worried about the wrestling and the takedown if Kayla PERSON continues to develop those tools I mean dude

Speaker 53038.64s - 3042.94s

she's gonna yeah yeah I would I would be interested to see what she kind of got back up to

Speaker 33042.94s - 3066.48s

post cut because she did make the cut I thought she looked she looked like it was a little bit of a tough one. But if she can keep doing this, like, you know, we talked about with, I think it was the Manone PERSON fight where it's like, for these women fights, the strength is a really big, like, X factor, a little bit more maybe than the men's. And you could just tell that there was just a different level of manhandling. Like, I was very, very wrong in some of my ideas of how this fight would go as far as with

Speaker 03066.48s - 3067.32s

what Hollywood GPE brain.

Speaker 53067.76s - 3071.4s

I thought that even like, I do think the game plan was wrong.

Speaker 03071.76s - 3084.24s

I think initiating clenches and trying to prove that you can go with the judo medalist was a horrible idea. I thought staying away, using her like poking kicks and punches would have been way better, but the fight's over. She didn't do those things.

Speaker 13084.24s - 3091.18s

I don't want to take away from Kayla PERSON here, but I wonder how much of that is just kind of where Holly's at in her career, because that's kind of been where she's at. But her last three, four

Speaker 33091.18s - 3116.22s

fights has been fighting like that. And that's why I said, I hope, in my pick of her, I was like, you know, maybe she goes back to just doing that kind of bladed stance, not being there, not grabbing up, not being able to be tossed around like that. But, man, if you had, if you had it queued up, embarrassing is definitely where it's at. Because I thought Kayla PERSON was going to struggle with the weight cut, not be able to utilize some of her strength because, but I also, you know, this kind of just shows me how goodLarissa Pacheco PERSON is as well as the things she was able to do.

Speaker 23116.9s - 3159.38s

Yeah, as John PERSON, you know, John mentioned there, you know, biggest thing obviously getting the win here, but possibly her toughest fight this week had to be that weight cut. I didn't think she looked particularly great on the scale. I know Brandon, you said you didn't think you saw much difference between her and Holly PERSON. She's definitely, I mean, really sunning in. But, and we all questioned it coming in with the weight cut.It obviously didn't affect her performance at all here, which was the other thing, too. Like, one thing to make it, then you got to go out there and perform it. I mean, she seemed to perform at a very high level here. She called for that title shot against Raquel Pennington next. I don't see if you're the UFC ORG why that's not next. I mean, there's no, in terms of that division, that is the biggest fight you can make right now in terms of active. I'll use that keyword right there, active fighters

Speaker 03159.38s - 3163.52s

who aren't retired. That is the biggest fight that you can make right now. If you're the UFC ORG,

Speaker 23163.72s - 3180.64s

she does not need another tune-up fight. Again, you're talking about somebody who's an age and she's a little older. Don't know how many times she can make that cut. So let's get going right now because I know we all saw the video, but Amanda Nunes PERSON is lurking in the shadows boys. You're going to say? Yeah, posted the

Speaker 33180.64s - 3191.36s

video of her watching Kayla PERSON's post fight. That seems to be a fight that would maybe lure the lioness out there, and I say, let's freaking go. That is a perfect...

Speaker 23191.36s - 3201.88s

If you're Kayla Harrison and you do three fights in the UFC ORG and retire, and you beat Holly Holmohm, Raquel Pennington PERSON, and then go on to fight and say if she beats Amandanez PERSON, like, that's insane, right?

Speaker 03201.96s - 3207.78s

Yeah. I mean, you could retire, and that is a career all in and of itself. She'll probably make plenty of money.

Speaker 23208.78s - 3221.72s

I just think it makes, it's perfect. I will say, John PERSON, you said the whole thing about, you know, tells you how good Larissa Pacheco PERSON is. I wouldn't overlook Raquel Pennington PERSON. Again, Pennington PERSON has just kind of that natural dog in her,

Speaker 03221.72s - 3224.42s

and especially in terms of the boxing and stuff, like,

Speaker 53224.42s - 3225.62s

more Larissa Pacheco PERSON,

Speaker 03226.06s - 3228.04s

she's definitely not going to come in and try to, like,

Speaker 23228.24s - 3230.34s

double under what Holly Holm PERSON did.

Speaker 53231.02s - 3238.54s

So that is still, like, I don't want to just say Raquel PERSON's a wash in that fight. She still has to get through her, but if you're the UFC ORG, you've got to go right now.

Speaker 23238.62s - 3244.78s

Like, I wouldn't even do the Amanda PERSON fight because one of them needs the title to make that fight feel even bigger, and Kayla PERSON's right there.

Speaker 33244.98s - 3249.14s

So, yeah. So you think that makes Juliana Penaena PERSON the biggest loser out of this it might be that's a

Speaker 23249.14s - 3253.62s

good point I didn't think about that yeah she's kind of weighted out that is a really really good

Speaker 33253.62s - 3257.9s

point I think she's had some injury situations but she might be the odd woman out I mean Kayla

Speaker 23257.9s - 3263.34s

Mentioned Julianna Pena I believe they may even like throw that first like as a contender fight or

Speaker 33263.34s - 3265.06s

something just to get some more fights under Cayley PERSON.

Speaker 13265.06s - 3270.2s

Well, I thought they were supposed to be setting up Pennington and Pena PERSON, but it hasn't been made officially yet.

Speaker 23270.5s - 3272.32s

All right, boys, we got to get through these last four.

Speaker 13272.38s - 3274.58s

We're already an hour in, and we still got like four fights to go.

Speaker 33275.04s - 3279.06s

Diego Lopez defeats Sadie KUCEF via first round.

Speaker 23279.74s - 3310.32s

TKO. And if you watched our Topps ORG Rookie tier list on our YouTube channel, there is a reason why me and John PERSON said we put this guy in the to the moon category, not just in the card hobby, but also in his actual fighting career. Just what an uppercut to start that ending sequence there. And to go out and finish a guy like Sadiq Youssef PERSON like that,he said he will be the next featherweight champion. Man, I am really starting to believe him. And it's hard not to believe it based off this short run of Yucel PERSON... Lopez PERSON.

Speaker 13310.78s - 3315.52s

Yeah, not much to add to that. I mean, the fight was very short. I think there was two uppercruits total.

Speaker 23315.66s - 3321.8s

Then he ended up landing just in sequence. And I mean, that's just what, three first round finishes in a row just like that back to back to back.

Speaker 33321.8s - 3330.28s

And he's getting... I mean, even obviously we talked about how good he did in the Mbs of our fight yeah but like to the competition has gone up since that and

Speaker 03330.28s - 3335.02s

he's just finishing him all in the first round and this guy is a jiu jitsu guy yeah yeah he's a grappler

Speaker 13335.02s - 3339.84s

he's not that you know the i can't imagine that the odds for him to win by knockout were even

Speaker 33339.84s - 3358.54s

close to as crazy as the odds for him to win by sub as far as like the discrepancy of how much money you'd have to put on it but what he's showing and what he's doing, I feel like should probably rattle a lot of those guys at the featherweight. And I wouldn't mind seeing him as far as high as you want to throw him. I mean, I think the guy has all the potential in the

Speaker 23358.54s - 3385.5s

world. Yeah, you got to believe he is going to be ranked next week. So yeah, to me, anybody that's right inside that top 15 or Edge John PERSON said, maybe even a little higher, I definitely say Diego Lopez PERSON, get the bangs ready, boys. We're going to go for it. Boys, Enato Moikano defeats Jalen Turner via second round TKO. I'll hit it again.It probably doesn't deserve it, but we'll go ahead and hit it for him, which is more like it was more of a ground and pound, I guess, right?

Speaker 53385.82s - 3388.3s

So we'll give him the finish him. How about that? Ignore the headshot.

Speaker 23389.2s - 3425.52s

Boys, I think Turner is probably going to be kicking himself for this one today. Drops Moikano twice in round one, but the second one just absolutely flatlined him. Definitely the biggest hit of the whole fight. But instead of following Moikano PERSON to the ground, where I think if Turner lands maybe just one ortwo more shots, he easily would have got him off, the fight is probably over. He looks for the walkoff. The 300 PRODUCTK might have got to his head. Looks for the walk off, walks away. The ref doesn't stop the fight. And man, isn't that like one of the biggest rules in fighting where the ref says fight untilI say stop, right?

Speaker 03425.64s - 3445.76s

So big laps in IQ there from Jalen Turner PERSON. But credit to Money Moikano PERSON, who loves money, was able to recover. Yeah. Came out in round two, got the fight to the ground, finds the finish. He is now, boys, won three straight, five of his last six. He's a supporter of the First Amendment LAW.Boys, Money Moikano PERSON, what are we thinking?

Speaker 13446.32s - 3455.98s

I mean, I think, again, Turner PERSON definitely is probably going to be kicking himself. I think that the three-round fight of the, or the three-round aspect of this definitely played into itbecause we talked about Turner PERSON's cardio.

Speaker 53456.22s - 3463.5s

Yeah. After round one, especially, I just think it seemed like there was a noticeable difference in terms of Turner PERSON's just gas tank.

Speaker 23463.6s - 3485.54s

I mean, I just think that a lot of that first round took it out of them. And then the 300 PRODUCTK just absolutely got to his dad. I mean, I don't know what else. I think any other fight, like, go watch his Bobby Green PERSON fight. Like, he's going to, he usually follows that stuff up.So I think that's a lot of what that was. But credit to Moikano PERSON for sticking with it and, you know, getting the job done. And even when Moikano PERSON got back up, he's telling the ref he's out or he's done or something like well, no, he's on his feet, dude. You've got to go. Yeah. I mean, I think, he's on his feet, dude. You got to go.

Speaker 33485.72s - 3489.36s

Yeah, I mean, I think he had like nine more seconds, plenty of time to land something.

Speaker 23489.76s - 3515.38s

And this is why when I made my pick, like Moikano PERSON, my only worry was he's a dog. Like, he's not going to just let you beat him. He's going to be there the whole time. And then I think the other big laps was in that second round, Moikano PERSON ends up on top of him. Jalen Turner PERSON has double butterflies and then just lets him pass over his legs into mount um doesn't do anything with it and doesn't everrecover from mount i i just think that and some of that also could be the cardio of like once he's mounted

Speaker 03515.38s - 3520.2s

it's like i just don't have enough there um but i do think that you know those lapses suck but

Speaker 53520.2s - 3535.54s

when you're you know i think what you've seen out of moikano is that i'm not going to quit and i'm going to make you beat me and he wasn't able to do it. And I think Moikano, I mean, even getting through the Dober PERSON fight, getting through this fight, like you're going to have to really, really put him out if you want to, you know, defeat him because he's going to just going to keep coming.

Speaker 23535.94s - 3542.66s

Yeah, it does suck for Turner PERSON, man. I'd honestly like to see him give 170 pounds another try. You know, he only did it once against Vicente Lucke PERSON.

Speaker 53542.78s - 3550.32s

He did lose, but that was also when Luque was like on that crazy run. Um, kind of like we talked about with Max PERSON earlier, I think he could

Speaker 03550.32s - 3556.06s

have a whole second run at that way because it just seems to not be going well at lightweight when he

Speaker 23556.06s - 3596.48s

seems to fight guys in that kind of upper level of the division. So it's like you got to realize at some point like, man, you're losing something somewhere and maybe just sucking himself down to that weight, even though he can make it. I mean, he's only missed one time. It's like, but what also are you giving up and trying to do that? So, we'd love to see him give 178 pounds a try because he's a guy I could see at some point probably going to fight at 185. As far as Moycano PERSON, what's crazy to me is I think he's just so fun and entertaining with the post-fightinterviews that we forget. This is a very legitimate lightweight contender who is absolutely surging up the rankings right now. And I'm not sure what Dan Hooker's return to work date is, but man, I'd love to see him take on Money Moikano PERSON in that return.

Speaker 33600.9s - 3614.62s

I know there's the rumors of the Binwalsand to Nepi PERSON, but to me, scrap that son. I want Dan Hooker and Money Moikano PERSON. That fight, it just sounds like carnage, absolute bloodath yeah i think um uh in a when they were picking for the fights they did like an interview dan did say he'd definitely be open to that fight as well like i mean

Speaker 23614.62s - 3619.42s

madness uh if you and if you didn't do that when you look at the rankings somebody like a fizee

Speaker 03619.42s - 3623.62s

doesn't have a fight right now that's another fight i would love to see for injured right yeah so i mean

Speaker 23623.62s - 3625.84s

it depends on when he recovers. Don't want to see Benny

Speaker 03625.84s - 3633.54s

take anybody else anytime soon. So it'll just be interesting to see what he does. I know he said he called for like the loser of of, who was it?

Speaker 23634.34s - 3651.46s

The Saruki and Charis PERSON. I mean, him and Charlie is good too, but it would be bad. Yeah, we'll see how they do it. Next fight boys, Jessica Andrage PERSON defeats Marina Rodriguez via split decision.And did anybody else have Androge 3027 PRODUCT? Because I definitely did.

Speaker 33651.64s - 3651.8s

Yeah.

Speaker 53651.9s - 3657.54s

Again, another questionable split decision here for me. I thought every round, it's weird.

Speaker 23657.6s - 3675.2s

I told you guys, I felt like Marino PERSON was the better fighter at the end. Like every round she seemed sharper, more technical. But the slip in round one, getting rocked in round two, getting dropped with the leg kicks right at the end of every round she seemed sharper more technical uh but the slip in round one getting rocked in round two uh getting dropped with the leg kicks right at the end of round three i thought it just it was in a close fight it's like every round androge had moments that kind of stole every round

Speaker 13675.2s - 3679.94s

in the power difference like yes marina was landing but when androge landed even if it wasn't

Speaker 33679.94s - 3702.48s

flush like it was a noticeable difference in the reaction i think that you know the optics play big role there so yeah i think that marina was was able to get her on the end of her punches, but she would just eat them and come forward. And that's kind of what she needed. She needed to know that, okay, this hand, like, because at first, um, Androge PERSON was really struggling getting inside that reach. And then she just decided to make it a dog fight. And when she did that as when she

Speaker 23702.48s - 3733.76s

started really hurting Marina with some of those like looping punches. And And Androge said that she wanted, this, we'll get back to the title for Wei. She said she did that, as when she started really hurting Marina with some of those, like, looping punches. And And Androche PERSON said that she wanted this, we'll get back to the title for Wei Lee PERSON. She said she wanted the winner of the title fight. And weirdly for a fighter, who's only won one fight in her last four, she may have found a way back to the title here. You know, she's ranked forth as a straw weight. The only fighter, fighters, ranked above her, Aramanda Limoche PERSON, who she has a head-to-head win over,Tatiana Suarez PERSON, who is injured, and then obviously Jan Chownowne PERSON, who just lost to Sean Wiley Lees PERSON.

Speaker 33733.76s - 3734.28s

So, boys,

Speaker 53734.74s - 3735.62s

I think there's a world

Speaker 23735.62s - 3737.84s

where Jess Gondrages is the number one contender right now.

Speaker 53737.94s - 3738.12s

I mean,

Speaker 23738.16s - 3739.94s

that is crazy to say with one win,

Speaker 53740.32s - 3741.7s

having lost three straight prior,

Speaker 23741.92s - 3743.02s

but one of those,

Speaker 53743.1s - 3743.36s

I guess,

Speaker 43743.6s - 3746.06s

two of them maybe was at flyweight.

Speaker 33746.22s - 3750s

So I don't know, but I mean, she may just get it by process of elimination.

Speaker 03750.12s - 3751.78s

She might have just lucked into it in a sense.

Speaker 33752.14s - 3769.58s

Well, and that's what makes you feel bad for like Suarez PERSON and the injury where it's like, you know, you're trying to come back, you're building yourself up, and now you're probably going to miss another opportunity because that division just, I mean, if you just going into like the top like eight, a lot of those girls are coming off of losses unfortunately to the people more toward the

Speaker 23769.58s - 3795.1s

top Bobby green defeats Jim Miller PERSON via unanimous decision and this fight was basically exactly what we expected just absolute carnage both guys covered in blood at the end albeit probably most of it Jim Miller PERSON's Miller just looked like something out of a horror movie by the end of this. I think Dana PERSON said in the post-fight, he saw a picture of Jim PERSON at the hospital, and he said it doesn't look like he looks bad.

Speaker 33795.7s - 3798.6s

Miller came out one round one, in my opinion,

Speaker 23799.06s - 3800.72s

rocked Bobby Green PERSON a couple of times,

Speaker 33800.78s - 3802.5s

but after that it was just all Bobby Green PERSON.

Speaker 53802.66s - 3807.78s

I think I said it last week in my rundown is the pressure and the pace and just pushing

Speaker 23807.78s - 3819.4s

forward I thought would give Jim Miller a lot of problems from Green PERSON. Easily one, round two, did Bobby Green 10-8, in my opinion. Round three, close to a 10-8, could have argued for one, but great win here for Bobby Green PERSON nonetheless.

Speaker 13819.78s - 3826.04s

Yeah, just all over Miller PERSON. I mean, it was just, I expected a lot more grappling from Miller PERSON here and didn't see that really at all.

Speaker 23826.36s - 3841.48s

I don't know how much of that is just both of them trying to look for a finish with, you know, with headshots and just landing the big punches for the 300K. I'm not really sure. But I feel like if you shuffle the carter around a little bit and you put them in a different position that you could almost make a case where they're going to be making some of the bonus money there.

Speaker 53841.68s - 3845.22s

But yeah, just lower in the lower on the car as far as where they were placed.

Speaker 03845.3s - 3851.12s

But it was really fun to watch. And I mean, just, yeah, all Bobby Green PERSON in terms of output and accuracy and landing. So good.

Speaker 33851.12s - 3889.7s

Yeah, man. The, you know, obviously for Jim Miller to get through 100, 200, 300 PRODUCT is crazy in itself. He shows why he had, you know, he's made it this far. The just the dog that's in him. Like the some of the stuff he was, some of the combos he was eating late into like the third is just like you almost like just man let's just get let's get this out of here man it's um but even still he kept fighting through and every now and then he'dfind himself landing a big punch that kind of push bobby back and hurt him a little bit but it was just never enough and i do think there was a little bit of a lapse on not attempting takedowns because bobby green throws three four five six CARDINAL punch combos and when your hands are moving like that, they're not going to get under you to stop the takedown. But Jim Miller PERSON went out on his shield and you can't be mad at that either.

Speaker 23889.7s - 3907.96s

No, so much hard. Yeah, I got to recognize the legend there, Jim Miller PERSON, just for, like you said, achieving what he did. Great callout and promo there from Bobby Green of Patty Pimbleau ORG for the UFC Manchester card. You're starting to see, like I said, there's a lot of things where that UFCManchester card off of this, like they're going to probably tie in. So a lot of these

Speaker 53907.96s - 3912.94s

fighters you're probably going to see in Manchester GPE, I would imagine. They did announce on air that

Speaker 03912.94s - 3922.36s

Sean Shelby, D.C. GPE said right before Bobby Green called him out, looked over to D.C. and said he thought Patty Pimble it would be a great fight next for Bobby Green PERSON. So sounds like that's going to be

Speaker 23922.36s - 3934.68s

what's going to be next. That excites me. Yeah, really excited. That's going to be a fun one in Manchester GPE, hopefully, too. Great fight, though. Yeah, so nothing to talk about there because Sean Shelby PERSON basically confirmed it on air.

Speaker 33935s - 3936.04s

And Jim Miller PERSON didn't retire.

Speaker 23936.2s - 3969.12s

I thought, you know, taking a beating like that, maybe he would. I don't know. And last but not least, boys, the fight that started it all. Davison Figuerreiro defe cody garbrand via second round rear naked choke great win here for figgy again equally is impressed with cody PERSON though in defeat rocked figgy a couple times in round one i thought he looked really sharp fast early um cody PERSON was uh just toogood and too fast like i said but then figgy kind of just took over in round two with some pretty underrated grappling i mean maybe it's just me but I don't recall that being a part of his game. I mean...

Speaker 13969.12s - 3970.34s

See, I feel like I do.

Speaker 23970.58s - 3977.92s

I remember earlier I feel like it. I don't know. Yeah. I don't know. It's just not... I picked Figuie PERSON to win.This is just not how I thought it would go.

Speaker 33978.28s - 3981.84s

But when you move into a camp with Henry Sehudo, you know, you're going to pick stuff up.

Speaker 23981.84s - 3985.66s

That's true. But Figueredo in that first, just never seemed settled on his feet.

Speaker 33985.78s - 3989.46s

Like, I thought Cody was just all over him, but regardless, gets his second win here

Speaker 13989.46s - 3990.12s

is a Bannam PERSON Wake.

Speaker 33990.34s - 3991.76s

Yeah, I honestly felt kind of bad.

Speaker 13991.88s - 3997.66s

I picked Figgie, but as soon as the fight started, Cody just kind of looked to me like almost his former self. I mean, he was quick.

Speaker 23997.76s - 4005.56s

He was sharp. He was landing great. He had a good footwork. He just looked like himself. And Figgie PERSON, as you said, was kind of struggling to land his own on his own

Speaker 04005.56s - 4014.98s

right but um in that second round made the adjustment and implement the grappling and just yeah cody PERSON really had no answer which was impressive as well because i feel like a lot of those alpha

Speaker 34014.98s - 4060.86s

male guys or cody was a decent wrestler so yeah i think that um Cody still definitely showed a lot of speed in his in his hands um unfortunately just the the run he's been on, this doesn't help. And for Davidson PERSON, it gives him a name, right? It gives him somebody that you can say at this division, especially, you know, one of the pillars of this division, he was able to beat, whereas he could have probably got a definitely, you know, a bigger ranking, but I think this does a lot for, like,telling people like, oh, you know, I just took out a former champion. Like, you got to watch out for me. And I think his level of grappling, man, I think is going a lot for telling people like, oh, you know, I just took out a former champion. Like, you got to watch out for me. And I think his level of grappling, man, I think is going to be something that definitely watch. Because we know he has power in his hands. We know that he can get into wars. But the way he's implementing his wrestling and it translates to his jiu-jitsu makes him a problem for everybody in the division.

Speaker 24061.22s - 4112.22s

Yeah, he called for the title shot. Still a little too soon for me there. That's a little too rich. Probably need to see him against one more guy, but much like Al Jemaine Sterling easily could throw him in there against a top guy, giving the fact that he's coming off, you know, being a champion in his past division, looked good here again in his second fight. So yeah, I think he's probably due for one more. Needs to be a big one. It needs to be somebodyin that top five. But as long as he gets the win, I think he definitely call for that title shot. Brandon PERSON, that is it, boys. We got through it. UFC 301. Real quick, the bonuses, because obviously everybody knows, but at the pre-fight presser, Dana PERSON had up the bonuses with a little bit of pressure from fansand fighters to $300,000. Max Holloway PERSON, the big winner. One, performance of the night and fight of the night as long as well as Gachie PERSON. So Max PERSON comes away with 300K. Gachi gets 300k.

Speaker 14112.22s - 4113.96s

No, Max gets 600. Or 600, sorry.

Speaker 24114.82s - 4121.32s

Gachie gets 300 and Yuri Prohoshka, the other, really weird to see Alex PERSON. Not. Maybe it's just because.

Speaker 14121.44s - 4123.18s

Someone else on the pre-lint. Where was it?

Speaker 24123.32s - 4131.86s

It was Yeri PERSON. Erie ORG got the other performance. So those guys were the big winners. The only thing I could think is they were probably thinking like, dude, Alex PERSON, you're getting pay-per-view points from the biggest

Speaker 14131.86s - 4133.56s

fight card in history. You're fine.

Speaker 34133.56s - 4143.8s

And I imagine, you know, I know that back before, like, you thought, like, pay was also tied to, like, how much experience you have, but all you've been in really is title fights or Eliminator fights.

Speaker 24143.92s - 4149.36s

So his per, like, his show money is probably a lot. Not to say that Max PERSON isn't either, but the

Speaker 04149.36s - 4154.4s

fight that Max put on, obviously, is more than deserving. And I think Dana PERSON said as well at all

Speaker 24154.4s - 4159.02s

the finishers. So Kayla, Diego PERSON. Diego, I think he said they're going to, they're going to take care

Speaker 34159.02s - 4163.68s

of them as well. Didn't put an amount on it, but I'm sure. I'm sure they made, um. Yeah,

Speaker 24163.74s - 4166.32s

everybody's going to be okay. They made a lot this weekend.

Speaker 34166.48s - 4168.4s

Brandon PERSON update us on our scores.

Speaker 24168.56s - 4170.42s

This is the moment everybody was waiting for.

Speaker 34170.64s - 4172.74s

I think, uh, surprise, surprise.

Speaker 24172.82s - 4173.54s

I'm probably still in first.

Speaker 14173.54s - 4183.04s

So, yeah, so Nate, you have made, you had 11 points last night. I had 10 and John had eight. Um, so that brings our totals to Nate PERSON. You have 39.

Speaker 54183.3s - 4193.2s

John has 27. I mean. And then with my additional one, you have 39, John is 27. I mean. And then with my additional one, I have 22. So, I mean, it's just, it's just, it's another two-man race, guys.

Speaker 24193.2s - 4199.44s

Like, you had your shot at the throne and you missed. It's not over.

Speaker 14199.66s - 4200.46s

Any regerts?

Speaker 24200.74s - 4200.96s

No.

Speaker 14201.26s - 4201.66s

I do.

Speaker 24201.74s - 4205.38s

I mean, I do a little bit. And the negative three really was a lot harder to do. Well, you do get to give yourself one point from the intro. That No. I do. I mean, I do a little bit. The negative three really was a lot harder to

Speaker 34205.38s - 4210.96s

Well, you do get to give yourself one point from the intro. That's what I did. So I'm still at 22.

Speaker 24211.16s - 4216.2s

I mean, John, as the guy in second place, you're in between us. Statistically, you are closer to

Speaker 14216.2s - 4221.28s

to Brandon PERSON than to me. But I mean, what's a bigger, like in your, do you think it's more likely

Speaker 24221.28s - 4226.64s

Brandon passes you or that you at least catch up to me? Probably catch up because I had a pretty good night.

Speaker 14226.78s - 4228.48s

If you didn't change your main event,

Speaker 24228.98s - 4229.94s

that's three points.

Speaker 34230.08s - 4232.04s

Yeah, you get eight if you don't change your main event.

Speaker 24232.04s - 4232.42s

What a good thing.

Speaker 14232.48s - 4235.54s

Hey, there's go. Sometimes it just pays, you know, sometimes. Can we all do that now?

Speaker 24235.84s - 4244.44s

Like last minute, change her pick after we said it. Well, I locked it in. I didn't, yeah, I mean, as long as you, he hasn't started his pick, really before the end of the episode, you could always change.

Speaker 34244.44s - 4246.32s

Yeah, as long as you're not taking somebody's thing, I guess.

Speaker 24246.38s - 4249.18s

Yeah. We'll just stick to that now. Yeah. Now we know it's possible. Absolutely.

Speaker 34249.78s - 4253.6s

But I definitely regret, obviously, the home, probably the Jim Miller.

Speaker 24253.6s - 4260.66s

See, I don't. The only one I regret was because I was, I would knew, and I even said, like, I'm picking more with my heart than what probably my brain's telling me.

Speaker 54260.86s - 4261.14s

Miller PERSON.

Speaker 24261.46s - 4274.24s

Yeah, that was the only one that I should have flipped on. I would have still picked home, though. That one, I don't regret. I did pick the whole main card, right? No big deal. John PERSON, let's get to the news.

Speaker 44276.24s - 4280.7s

Going on the news. If you don't like you, Brandon PERSON will punch you and give you a bruise.

Speaker 34281.74s - 4360.02s

With UFC 300 EVENT and everything and everyone involved with it being the main focus of all things, MMA ORG, most of the news is around that event or things tied to it. One of the biggest changes is going to be coming to the UFC ORG in the form of announcing new gloves. The UFC ORG revealed new gloves that have a different design and features. Those changes include new construction features like a new wrist band lock that will remove the space that permitsopponents to be able to grab the glove. All the seams will be moved into the palm of the glove to reduce cuts and abrasions. Removal of some of the finger binding to reduce some of the bulk around the fingers. Padding added to the side of the gloves to protect the pinky and index finger. Gloves will be three to four point nine ounces based on the size, which is an ounce to an ounce and a half decrease from the gloves they currently have. E ergonomic curve in the wristband for better fit, new foam padding for more flexibility and protection,all these things to kind of help the issues that fighters have had with the gloves. One of those biggest issues being Ipokes, Duncan French, the senior VP of UFC Performance Institute ORG, say that they saw a reduction in eye-pokes from the Contender Series 7, which utilized the new gloves. These gloves will also feature four different colors, a light blue glove for the contender series, a red glove for the road to the UFC ORG, a regularblack glove, and then a gold glove for the champions. The new design will debut in the UFC ORG at

Speaker 24360.02s - 4370.46s

UFC 302 EVENT. Yeah, probably shouldn't have led with that, but that's more, the biggest fighter in UFC ORG history is returning and you leave with gloves. We just don't know anything.

Speaker 04370.86s - 4375.14s

I mean, yeah, it's, it is worth mentioning, but yeah, nothing to really add to it.

Speaker 34375.16s - 4375.92s

We just got to see.

Speaker 04376.08s - 4378.72s

Well, I just think the designs are cool, and it sounds like from the details.

Speaker 34378.72s - 4379.46s

I like the different colors.

Speaker 24379.7s - 4390.86s

Yeah, the collars is a cool touch. I would like, I'm hoping maybe like, you know, you get big events like this. Maybe we could do some, like, design. Like, you know, they're going to Rio GPE. It'd be cool to get some green gloves, right?

Speaker 04390.86s - 4399.6s

Like, I think that would be cool. But then again, we're just now getting to an era where they're allowing fighters to have personalized shorts. Right. So we'll see.

Speaker 24399.7s - 4405.94s

Time will tell. But, I mean, there's just not, even the guy that you're referencing was just like, yeah, we just don't know if it's going to stop

Speaker 34405.94s - 4415.84s

eye poke. So it's like, it's a big nothing salad until we see some statistics. Well, I think some of the changes to the actual glove themselves lean toward being able to grapple better, if they're more flexible and not so stiff gloves. And

Speaker 24415.84s - 4427.42s

I just think that it'll be interesting to see what changes that makes to how some of these fights turn out. Sure. At UFC 300 EVENT, it was announced that a new fight was added to the UFC Hall of Fame ORG. That fight, John, lead with the big stuff, Fame WORK_OF_ART. That fight, me-in-lead. Lead with the big stuff, dude.

Speaker 34427.76s - 4428.48s

I'm already into this.

Speaker 24428.48s - 4429.36s

Leading news.

Speaker 34429.58s - 4431.92s

It's connected to 300 PRODUCT, and we're talking about 300.

Speaker 24431.92s - 4434.68s

No, no. Lead with the big fights, man. These are big announcements.

Speaker 34435.3s - 4451.54s

All right, well, Dana announced post-fight that lightweight champion Islam Makachev PERSON will be fighting Dustin Poet at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey GPE. Connor McGreg will be fighting Michael Chandler at 303 for International Fight Week at 170. Obviously those two huge announcements. Wait, what?

Speaker 24452.36s - 4452.82s

You didn't hear?

Speaker 34453s - 4454.24s

Yeah, what about the co-main event?

Speaker 24454.82s - 4455.36s

For what?

Speaker 34455.78s - 4456.54s

For 302.

Speaker 24457.1s - 4459.34s

Costa and Strickland PERSON was also announced.

Speaker 34459.48s - 4460.52s

Five-round co-main event.

Speaker 24460.64s - 4461.22s

Yeah, that was under.

Speaker 34461.28s - 4463.74s

I thought you wanted to talk about those two since you're so eager to talk about

Speaker 24463.74s - 4469.6s

Carter PERSON. John is, John needs a week off, guys. John needs it to. He's sweating. So do you not want to

Speaker 34469.6s - 4475.62s

talk about the other two I just said? It's because I closed the gap. Ever since Brandon PERSON announced the scores,

Speaker 24476.12s - 4483.22s

John is just like, oh, he's a little dizzy. Uh, yes, the, the king is back. The Mystic Mac PRODUCT made.

Speaker 34483.22s - 4506.5s

Dustin Poet. Oh. Yeah, Mystic Mac is back, baby. We have it. It's official. It's been kind of out for a while, but Dana did confirm it. I did want to add this. I know I kind of started on it earlier. I know I said earlier that the UFC would jump at the chance to throw Connor in a lightweight fight with either Islam or Poirier, and I still believe that. But I also would not overlook him staying at Welterway and challenging Leon Edwards PERSON.

Speaker 14506.78s - 4511.22s

I know Connor and Leon PERSON are at least somewhat friendly, same management, I believe, paradigm.

Speaker 24511.64s - 4512.92s

But Connor PERSON's going to Connor, son.

Speaker 14513.24s - 4517.3s

And a part of me wonders if that's kind of what the UFC may be holding out for with Leon PERSON,

Speaker 24517.8s - 4522.42s

because we know they are again returning to Manchester GPE for a numbered pay-per-view.

Speaker 34522.42s - 4526.84s

And what would be a bigger main event than for that card in Manchester, in the UK GPE,

Speaker 24527.38s - 4535.02s

then Connor McGregor versus Leon Edwards PERSON for the Walterweight title, plus maybe Alex Padeta and Tom Aspinall PERSON is the co-main event. I mean, holy cow.

Speaker 14536.16s - 4538.34s

Patty Pimlet, Bobby Green PERSON kicks the card off.

Speaker 24538.76s - 4544.1s

Arnold Allen versus Al Jermaine PERSON Sterling. I mean, dude, you can see where this card could really just take shape. Yeah.

Speaker 14544.2s - 4548.04s

If Connor wins the 70 bill, that would put him ahead of the LX for the three-way thing.

Speaker 24548.04s - 4560.12s

Yeah. And I mean, come on. Like, that's, it's really going to be Connor PERSON's world, right? But he has to beat Michael Chandler. But that was the only thing I was going to add earlier. I just didn't want to go into it on 300 PRODUCT.And then in terms of...

Speaker 34560.12s - 4560.84s

Islam and Dustin PERSON.

Speaker 24562.36s - 4572.32s

Yeah, I mean, so here's what... And I was going to, again, didn't want to get into it with Brandon, but it's like, just as annoyed, I get you being annoyed about Connor PERSON. But, dude, like, Porriere wins one fight now. I mean, he's coming.

Speaker 14572.44s - 4573.22s

I'm not happy about it.

Speaker 24573.22s - 4574.58s

He gets head kick knocked out.

Speaker 14574.66s - 4574.82s

Yeah.

Speaker 24575.12s - 4577.38s

Looks phenomenal against Benoit San Ani PERSON.

Speaker 14577.38s - 4582.14s

I mean, don't want to take it. But Benoit San Ani was still the number 14th, I think, ranked lightweight.

Speaker 24582.78s - 4590.6s

Absolute killer, absolute amazing moment win for Dustin Porey PERSON, not questioning that at all. But how can you not be equally annoyed?

Speaker 14591.04s - 4591.46s

I am.

Speaker 24591.58s - 4599.52s

No, no, listen. You know what I mean? Like, Justin Poyer got headkick knocked out by Justin Gachy PERSON and he got outrestled by who just got pieced up by Max Holloway PERSON, by the way.

Speaker 14599.52s - 4606.56s

And Islam head kick knocks out Alexander Voganowski and he can out wrestle he can out-wrestle pretty much anybody, except for Armand PERSON.

Speaker 24606.7s - 4610.26s

So it's like, what am I expecting with this in D.P.? I mean, come on.

Speaker 34610.38s - 4622.5s

But it's Justin Porre PERSON, so he gets a title shot. I mean, it's his third, right? Yeah. So I think it's a liking to like what they did for Chale or Dan Henderson or Michael Bisping, where it's like, you want to give these guys one more shot.

Speaker 14622.58s - 4627.76s

And you're in a weird spot to where you don't know who's ready to take the shot and you know it's going to sell

Speaker 04627.76s - 4631.38s

like people are going to still yeah and I mean there's nothing wrong I mean it's just now we know

Speaker 24631.38s - 4639.46s

the Armand PERSON Sarukian thing and there's a there's a legitimate story there but I mean hey dude like I'm also not discounting Dustin PERSON in that fight either like I'm not saying like he's going to get

Speaker 04639.46s - 4643.4s

dog it's just like if you're going to be annoyed with Connor PERSON you kind of got to be equally

Speaker 24643.4s - 4649.36s

annoyed here where it's like you can win one fight and then get right back to a title it's the same thing and i am equally

Speaker 14649.36s - 4653.46s

annoyed yeah right so i'm not just coming at you it just it's you see that constantly with people

Speaker 24653.46s - 4661.26s

with connor's like oh you just have to win one fighting yeah but it's not any different than they i'm just using this as an example if they do this for other fighters as well i think the only

Speaker 34661.26s - 4669.86s

difference is probably just the act like inactivity for carner where he can go away for x amount for X amount of years or not even come off of a loss and then go away for some years and

Speaker 24669.86s - 4680.54s

come back. And I do want to say too that Strickland Coast GPE to fight, I love that fight. That is going to build up for that. I mean, that that's going to be fun in general. I'm really looking forward to that.

Speaker 34680.94s - 4707.22s

I thought it was funny for the Connor one though that leading up to this, Dana kind of had to do the we don't have nothing yet, but we're trying to figure it out, obviously knowing that he was going to put it out through there. And then obviously, like you said, the Sean Strickland Costa, stricken kind of pointing out a thing of like, you know, he talked to the UFC ORG, told him he just wants to provide for his family and they kind of made that right and they set that up. But good on him to kind of just, because obviously he wanted the rematch for the title, but to take a fight, it could definitely kind of put him back into that conversation.

Speaker 04707.92s - 4722.44s

As you said earlier, Dan Hooker has said that the UFC ORG is looking to book him against Benoit, St. Deney in September. Some other people who've kind of said that they have some fights in the works. Ian Machado-Garria said that he has signed and agreed to fight Colby Covenden PERSON, waiting to see if he says yes.

Speaker 24722.54s - 4724.76s

Another great one for the UFC ORG. Yeah.

Speaker 34724.96s - 4738.86s

I mean, you know what I mean. Yeah, easy there. Some fights that have been officially announced. Jelanameda will be facing Alexander Romanov PERSON at UFC 302. Ehor Potaria is stepping into fight Michelle Pereira PERSON.And Andre Munez will be facing Ikram Il-Scarov in June.

Speaker 24739.1s - 4744.68s

Yeah, which, uh, um, Pateria was supposed to fight Sharra Bullitt PERSON.

Speaker 34744.76s - 4746.64s

So there's still been no. Yeah, they haven't got a person for him yet. Because I know you had said something about, um, Petaria was supposed to fight Shara Bullitt PERSON. So has, there's still been no. Yeah,

Speaker 24746.7s - 4753.9s

they haven't got a person for him yet. Because I know you had said something about, well, why wouldn't they put Shara Bullitt PERSON against, um, who's,who's,

Speaker 34753.9s - 4758s

who's, yes, thank you. Um, when, when is that fight?Where is that? I mean? That's going to be in June.

Speaker 24758.26s - 4764.66s

Okay. But the, yeah, but what I, and I don't know if I responded, but the thing is,is they're not going to take Shara Bullet PERSON out of the, that Saudi NORP way.

Speaker 04764.74s - 4764.9s

Like,

Speaker 34764.9s - 4786.24s

it's too big to keep him on that card. So I'm sure if they needed somebody, it was like, well, you're going to leave him there and just try to find Sharra Bullitt PERSON, you know, probably a sacrificial lamb, unfortunately. Yeah. And then the last thing is just going back to the UFC Hall of Fame, putting the fight between Anderson, Sylva, and Chale PERSON's son and won. A fight took place at UFC 117 and was the 2010 fight of the year.

Speaker 24786.6s - 4791.12s

Can anybody prove Chale's not already in the Hall of Fame ORG? I asked this last night. Nope. I thought he was.

Speaker 34791.22s - 4793.02s

Yeah, I don't think they have like the books updated probably.

Speaker 24793.1s - 4794.2s

Nobody can even prove it.

Speaker 34794.36s - 4794.64s

No.

Speaker 24794.92s - 4796.34s

Nobody can prove he's not in there already.

Speaker 34796.4s - 4798.78s

It's true. I feel like I've seen him walk through the hallway.

Speaker 24799.04s - 4803.92s

Yeah, I mean, nobody even knows where it is. The hall is. So we can't prove that Chale PERSON's not already in it.

Speaker 34804.02s - 4811s

It's probably in the apex if I had to guess. And he might already be a five-time Hall of Famer, honestly. You can't prove it. He's the reason why there's a lot of guys in there for

Speaker 24811s - 4822.08s

sure. John, any more Chris Dachis news? Or you want to talk about the UFC ORG's new water bottles, anything like that? I don't know. New shorts. Any shorts you want to see? Yeah, I want to see

Speaker 34822.08s - 4825.44s

Chris Docus get some shorts. Yeah. John PERSON wants the Chris Dachis shorts. I love it. Brandon, song of the week. What do you got for us? Yeah, I want to see Chris Docus get some shorts. Yeah. John wants the

Speaker 24825.44s - 4829.96s

Chris Docus shorts. I love it. Brandon, song of the week. What do you got for us? Well, I was going to do

Speaker 14829.96s - 4834.04s

Face the Pain WORK_OF_ART because that was kind of like a cool thing. But then what was the one you threw out?

Speaker 24834.22s - 4839.42s

Oh, Blue Traveler. What are you guys saying? Which one? Because they're very different. I love the Blues Traveler PRODUCT.

Speaker 14839.52s - 4844.64s

I was going to go that one. We were on our way down to Indy on Friday and it just came in my head.

Speaker 24844.64s - 4845.04s

And I told Ash, I was like, this isn't going to Indy on Friday, and it just came in my head, and I told

Speaker 14845.04s - 4848.02s

Ash PERSON, I was like, this isn't going to leave my head until we play it.

Speaker 24848.02s - 4852.6s

So, yeah, I love it. What's it called? Runaround PRODUCT, the Runaround.

Speaker 34852.82s - 4854.84s

Blue's Traveler PRODUCT. I think it's Blue's Traveler PRODUCT.

Speaker 24855.14s - 4856.26s

I'll find out when I look it up.

Speaker 14856.5s - 4856.82s

All right.

Speaker 24857.18s - 4857.92s

One for the people?

Speaker 14858.12s - 4858.66s

Yes, go ahead.

Speaker 34858.68s - 4859.22s

One for the people.

Speaker 14859.52s - 4860.94s

I don't really have anything special.

Speaker 24861.14s - 4862.38s

It was really cool to watch that.

Speaker 14862.38s - 4863.96s

I admit with you guys, like UFC 300.

Speaker 24864.12s - 4872.82s

I think we looked at the 400 is probably not going to be to what like 2030. 30 or 30 lines. Something like that. So just kind of cool to see like a big moment in

Speaker 34872.82s - 4880.16s

MMA ORG history arguably, if not like the biggest in terms of just the gravity of it all. So that was really cool. Yeah. Yeah. No, I totally agree.

Speaker 24880.78s - 4886.3s

My one for the people this earlier this week I ended up going to French Lick ORG to stay at a resort.

Speaker 34886.94s - 4908.3s

And they have this hotel called the West Biden or Baden FAC. And it's a big atrium. It's a, it comes from, it's really old, but it's probably one of the nicest buildings I've ever been in architecture-wise. Just a huge opening, had a huge chandelier. There's people kind of just like around it. It's an older hotel, but you can tell like whoever made it had like some really, really old money and it still holds up.

Speaker 04908.38s - 4912.28s

And then there was another resort for the French Lake LOC that had a casino and stuff. So it was,

Speaker 24912.28s - 4915.98s

it was really fun. Kind of sketchy to get there because there's not like a main road for the most

Speaker 34915.98s - 4919.68s

part. You kind of go back street and you're going through hills and stuff, a little sketchy, but

Speaker 04919.68s - 4923.9s

definitely would go back. Did you drive? No. I drove a little bit on the way back.

Speaker 14924.12s - 4929.78s

Made her drive? Yeah, John PERSON's so afraid. No, drive. She prefers. She doesn't like the way I drive.

Speaker 34929.78s - 4936s

What doesn't she like? We gotta go deeper here. No, she just doesn't, she thinks I get like too

Speaker 14936s - 4939.88s

close to cars when I stop or I don't do certain things the way she likes. I just let her take it.

Speaker 24940s - 4944.94s

Hotel was so amazing, though, you didn't ask anybody how to pronounce it? I seen, I heard it a couple

Speaker 14944.94s - 4945.58s

different ways. Biden PERSON, Biden, Biden, something pronounce it. I heard it a couple different ways.

Speaker 04946s - 4947.54s

Biden PERSON, Biden, Biden, something like that.

Speaker 54947.58s - 4949.12s

When I went to the Caesar's Palace in Vegas GPE,

Speaker 24949.22s - 4950.14s

the first thing I asked was,

Speaker 04950.2s - 4951.48s

is this the original Caesar's ORG Palace?

Speaker 24952.2s - 4952.62s

Yeah.

Speaker 34952.82s - 4954.12s

I mean, you go to the front desk,

Speaker 24954.16s - 4955.34s

and you can ask these things, John PERSON.

Speaker 34955.42s - 4956.36s

Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 24956.46s - 4958.2s

I know three things about French Lake Indiana GPE.

Speaker 34958.36s - 4960.64s

The casino, home of Larry Bird PERSON,

Speaker 24960.9s - 4966.2s

and they had a basketball court in the PS2 and one streetball game.

Speaker 34966.56s - 4970.78s

Another fun fact, there's a railroad there that they said that Al Capone PERSON used to move some of his

Speaker 24970.78s - 4971.12s

liquor.

Speaker 34971.48s - 4971.92s

Nice.

Speaker 24972.16s - 4973.02s

Did you go see it?

Speaker 34973.14s - 4973.54s

No.

Speaker 24973.86s - 4974.32s

Why not?

Speaker 34974.36s - 4977s

It was rainy and nasty, and I was enjoying the resort amenities.

Speaker 24977.24s - 4977.54s

Drive.

Speaker 34977.74s - 4978.2s

Hot tub.

Speaker 24978.66s - 4979.6s

What did you do?

Speaker 34979.6s - 4980.64s

What did you do?

Speaker 24980.84s - 4981.92s

I went over to the casino.

Speaker 34981.92s - 4983.1s

I would know what you did, John PERSON.

Speaker 24983.14s - 4983.9s

They had an arcade.

Speaker 14984.1s - 4985.16s

I went there and did that

Speaker 24985.16s - 4990.18s

an arcade i just imagine like walking up and like tapping buttons and then just like walking no they had

Speaker 34990.18s - 4995.14s

they had guitar hero like an old guitar hero game played that hit the rage against the machine on that

Speaker 24995.14s - 5000.44s

i wonder what the hotel staff saw seeing john just like meander around this resort all day every day like

Speaker 35000.44s - 5007.68s

who is this guy what is he doing it was an interesting mix of people. He keeps talking about the...

Speaker 25007.68s - 5008.82s

Some Chris Dawkins PERSON guy?

Speaker 35009.02s - 5012.08s

Yeah, he keeps talking about sock hats and gloves over everything.

Speaker 25012.32s - 5013.72s

He says gloves over everything.

Speaker 35013.98s - 5014.52s

And it's like...

Speaker 25014.52s - 5016.56s

Most important part of the fighting equipment.

Speaker 35016.98s - 5017.64s

That is true.

Speaker 25017.78s - 5033.76s

I'll give you that, John PERSON. My one for the people real quick. I told John PERSON I was going to do it. Probably this was going to be mine last week. Cell phone, Ash PERSON's cell phone took a crap. So it was one of those things where it was cheaper for me to just get a new phone with her. And there is, I just don't think there's anything worse than having

Speaker 05033.76s - 5038.62s

to go and get a new cell. Like go into the cell phone place, go through the process, get a new phone,

Speaker 25039.08s - 5058.28s

re-logging to all your apps. First off, we were at the cell phone place for two and a half hours. I mean, it was, the phones weren't acting right. Nothing to do with like the staff or anything. It was just technical difficulties, trying to get stuff. I mean, it's just a nightmare, dude. It's like one of those things as an adult. Like, I don't know what else is like, I'm trying to think of something else on

Speaker 35058.28s - 5065.08s

that level of like, it's just not fun to do ever. B and B.MV. Yeah, yeah. Like, there you go. That's a good one. Going to the, I had to go,

Speaker 25065.16s - 5069.26s

I had to go to the dentist the day before as well. So it was like, Dennis PERSON, then this, the next,

Speaker 35069.36s - 5074.2s

oh, dude, it's, it's, it's been a lot this week. But yeah, that was, that was one of them. So, yeah,

Speaker 05074.26s - 5078.24s

just that's kind of my one little, like, grinds my gears. It's like, there's just no fun

Speaker 35078.24s - 5081.74s

and going, getting a new phone. You think they'd make it easier. I know. Would you rather

Speaker 05081.74s - 5086.34s

go to the dentist or go to the dentist or go get a new phone? Oh, I'd rather go to the dentist. I'm in and out in like 45 minutes.

Speaker 25086.58s - 5086.9s

Yeah.

Speaker 35086.96s - 5088.62s

You know, it's always funny as the dentist, too.

Speaker 15088.7s - 5090.84s

They, like, try to talk to you and you're like, huh, ha, ha, ha.

Speaker 25090.84s - 5091.72s

Yeah, every time.

Speaker 15093.52s - 5093.84s

Yeah.

Speaker 25094.94s - 5095.36s

Yeah.

Speaker 15096.74s - 5099.66s

It's just like, there's just no good way, and they just don't stop.

Speaker 25099.78s - 5101.18s

Some of them, some of them leave you alone.

Speaker 35101.18s - 5106.8s

Would you rather watch a UFC ORG card while in a dentist chair getting worked on or around the people that come to the phone stores?

Speaker 25107.38s - 5108.58s

Definitely in the dentist chair.

Speaker 35108.88s - 5118s

That was part of the problem too. Alrighty, that is it. Braynan PERSON, just to take us out. Why don't we just give you a little preview. Oh, there it is.
