and we're back hello members hi members thanks for being here thanks for
0:09
supporting the channel and showing love with your pocket
0:14
books there's a stupid um like Tik Tock Trend or something and the guy goes I
0:22
love you and she's like you love me you're not showing me and she pulls out her empty like
0:28
pocketbook that's what we should D we should do that one as one of the like join us videos I like
0:35
that more of like one of the ASPCA ones for less than the cost of coffee you too
0:42
can support two two straw yeah hey if you guys want to go down in our history
0:48
you can see how we saved the flyweight division by doing a video like that I
0:55
think that's the one thing I don't think it was uh Pantoja or Royal or
1:02
or any of those guys I think it was our video that actually saved the flyweight division we did yeah we waved the banner
1:09
and we waved it hard we did and everyone listened linked arms yes and support
1:17
yes of the flyweights they're people too just cuz they're shorter than most women
1:23
doesn't mean that they're not people I feel like flyweights get the
1:30
most crap um from like just average guys
1:36
because people think that they could beat them up and they cannot no I wish they would try and I would love to catch
1:42
it on video yes me too dude I have seen Wilson Hayes like we keep talking about
1:47
Wilson he's our good friend but we have seen him he the best beat up middleweight to heavy weights in in the
1:55
training room and Without Really Trying he was just like it was a good run you know with a smile on his he didn't even
2:02
try yeah he wasn't even trying to hurt them and he was probably parting the night before to be honest yeah he was
2:07
probably parting he was also in his in their defense he was probably about like
2:12
185 yeah bigger than you think outside a fight Camp he he blows
2:19
up but still that doesn't change the fact that this tiny guy beat up a huge
2:25
guy and I'll forever think of fly wits that way because I'm like these guys
2:30
they can scrap and they're the smallest person in the gym so they have to be the most technical yeah they are battle tested
2:38
it's why the uh strawweight division is the most competitive division in UFC uh women's at least
2:47
because because we're the smallest in the gym so we have to be good we have to be technical otherwise they fighting
2:52
people twice our size exactly back in my day there were no females to train with so we had to train with men back in my
2:59
day I love saying that yeah no it's great I love it I love
3:05
it oh well well let's get on some of these fan questions because we got a lot
3:11
or you got a lot on your Instagram so um ask away let me see what what would
3:19
be a good first one uh o here's an easy one fresh
3:26
88811 asked what's your favorite submission hold goo pla goo pla yeah ah
3:33
interesting it's my favorite one I mean everybody thought I was going to say armar I love an arm uh
3:41
but being the smallest scrawniest only female in the gym I would get taken down
3:47
a lot and I would find you know ways to get them you know get get some space
3:56
get them to back off back off buddy and so I just developed like my just naturally was like you know this is a
4:02
great this is a great time with all this pressure and I would just I started like go- go plotting everybody nice it's like
4:07
it's my favorite submission I've always wanted to hit it live that was the first submission I hit after watching it on
4:14
YouTube your knees can bend that way yes yeah it's just this like that's not that
4:21
big of a deal that's that's not hard it's the inverting and [ __ ] that's like
4:26
we it's my back not my legs but uh the first and also I was a lot bendier back
4:32
then before I got all my muscle but uh so much muscle yeah I was watching who
4:38
was it Nate or Nick Diaz it was Nick right he was fighting somebody and he hit the gole plot on him and [ __ ] G
4:47
yeah that was Nick Diaz yeah in Pride against takori G yeah that was the first
4:53

5:59
don't well you have a fro uh
6:05
JH naton 13 ask how urgently will you be
6:11
grappling versus Reed um I mean I think that that is the intention to Grapple her but I also feel
6:18
pretty confident in my boxing my striking so it's just one of those things that I'll feel out when I get
6:25
there nice being in the moment and all that is a name in the
6:31
game uh Saint figs asked what is your favorite fight you've had and
6:38
why um I always like go back to my my one and only shoot boxing match with
6:46
Raina and that was that was a long time ago it was like over 10 years ago but it was just a
6:52
very good memory and good experience for me I took a short notice fight it was like a week notice I flew to Japan and I
7:01
fought in shoot boxing I had never even seen shoot boxing before yeah um and I
7:06
really didn't know what I was getting into but I knew that they were obviously bringing me over there to lose and I
7:12
remember after three rounds it was a draw and so they made us go an extension
7:18
round I did not realize that there were extension rounds in shoot boxing and they made me go another extension round
7:24
I was like sitting on the corner I was so two extension rounds two extension rounds that I was not planning on doing
7:29
on short notice short notice and they were trying they were like one more extension round one more it's in the
7:35
rule book you didn't read it we didn't write it but there's one more but I
7:41
finally like I I got a big throw and I got you know two shoot points and so I
7:47
ended up winning and it just that fight showed me who I was like it just showed
7:52
me what I was made of and I am very appreciative of that that fight and that experience cuz I had to dig very deep
8:00
and I you know just there were just a lot of unknowns I really wasn't clear
8:06
like crazy clear on the rules I didn't know what it was going to look like um I just knew that I was being brought in to
8:12
fight you know the organization sweetheart and maybe even if I fought my hardest
8:19
and maybe I was winning they wouldn't give me the win but I I showed up I did it and it was a great experience and I
8:25
think uh you know that's really important for a fighter to have fights like that yeah there were no s deato
8:33
son in the in the audience there you actually got the win it win it that's
8:39
awesome yeah um well speaking of favorite fights uh we have a question on
8:47
YouTube Travy t94 says good luck on Saturday two-part question for both
8:54
ladies what has been your favorite and least favorite fight location and is
8:59
there there anywhere you would like to fight that you haven't yet um was your favorite fight location in Japan or was
9:05
there another one um I loved fighting in Japan I thought that was really cool but again I
9:11
was there so short that I I really didn't get to experience like the the
9:17
culture and you know see things you know do a little sightseeing I really didn't get to see any of that but it was really
9:23
epic fighting in Japan and just like their audience yeah it's a different it's a different energy um they're so
9:30
respectful they are and they they don't want to make too much noise because they don't want to like throw you off your
9:36
game yeah but then when you do something nice they're like no really it was it was really
9:43
crazy I mean when I was fighting I could hear I mean I could hear a pin drop M and if I did something well yeah
9:50
appreciation but not distracting just appreciating compare that to like a baseball game you oh my god beers being
9:58
thrown still on you waves I love a wave yeah they might do
10:03
the wave out there I feel like they might have done the wave when I went to the Risen uh in the year show when Darien
10:10
fought yeah they might have done a wave but I might have been the foreigners it probably
10:18
was um I yeah I think that finding just that that whole trip that whole
10:24
experience was pretty amazing the place that I liked fighting the least either
10:29
either in my hometown or in Berlin the um the time changed when I flew to
10:37
Berlin was really hard on me and I was not not prepared for that and I did not adapt to it very well I was really
10:44
having a hard time just staying awake and sleeping it was just it was really
10:51
hard and then um fighting in my hometown was actually not as enjoyable as I
10:56
thought it would be I did not like it yeah too many people pulling you left and right yeah I can imagine you really
11:03
got to shut yourself off like I um I I got lucky enough to fight in San Diego
11:09
on short notice so no one really knew that I was fighting surprise aside from
11:14
my immediate people who I had been training with and so like nobody was begging me for tickets or trying to like
11:21
get FaceTime or anything they're just like oh [ __ ] you're fighting yeah we'll be there anyway because Dom's fighting
11:28
you know like like great I get to ride off the cels of D and my friends will be there and I don't have to like deal with
11:35
that stress um for me the maybe favorite and least favorite might be the same
11:42
place um because I fought in Mexico City twice and well I wouldn't say favorite
11:48
but it wasn't as bad the second time the first time was horrible it was the first time I ever felt altitude but on top of
11:56
that Mexico City is one of these places where you can't can't drink the water and even if you're really good about not
12:02
drinking the water you still drink the water like somehow it gets into you it's like it it it goes into your pores when
12:09
you shower or something I think I was going to the Starbucks and it was a nice like really fancy area so I'm like oh I
12:16
could probably get a double espresso from Starbucks that's going to be fine and I got sick I'm not sure what it was
12:22
but I was sick the entire time and I have went in I went like probably the worst amount of time I thought going 10
12:29
days early would be good because I'd be able to acclimate to the at least to the
12:35
time and it was perfect timing for me to get like the crash of being at altitude
12:44
right before my fight so it was like I felt really good up until the weight cut
12:49
then I hit the weight cut cut weight easy because I was sick the whole time so I was walking at like 1:16 entire
12:57
week oh and then and uh and also I wasn't training that smart um we were
13:02
still training pretty hard um with the gym that I was at during fight week and then uh during the warmup before I got
13:11
out I hit a takedown on my training partner and I was
13:16
like I don't think I'm in shape like did I train at all yeah it's wild it really
13:22
is wild um so that was probably my least favorite place to fight and unless you
13:28
have the means to do a full fight camp at altitude I would never suggest
13:33
fighting at altitude especially Mexico City because it's so hard to avoid
13:39
getting sick like you're you're probably going to get sick it's just really
13:44
impossible to avoid that when you're living in a hotel you can't really cook for yourself you you don't have a
13:49
kitchen like it is just one of those things so I would avoid fighting out there but favorite place to maybe fight
13:57
in the future is Japan like I would I'm so jealous you got the fight in Japan I would love to fight out there just uh I
14:04
met Adam in Japan a lot of people don't know our origin story but we met in student Exchange in Japan and then
14:11
Japan's always been like this special place in our hearts so every time we go back it's well we've only gone back once
14:17
but it's it's just an amazing place it's so like it's so different from like our
14:24
like it's a big city but it's totally different from like the cities in America and like the culture with
14:30
fighting and everything to how Pride just started this whole like movement and it would be really awesome to fight
14:37
in Japan but uh yeah I don't have a favorite place I
14:42
don't think San Diego was cool I I love fighting at home like just because you
14:48
know I didn't have to deal with people it was nice to sleep in my own bed and then go and fight like that was kind of
14:55
a weird but nice privilege to have got the cuddle of my do you know it's just weird is like I I
15:01
like that a lot so yeah um for next
15:11
question if you were a hot dog should I
15:20
finish M I have to name this person for this stupid question M Lynch 3000 says
15:28
if you were a hot dog would you eat yourself no how could
15:33
I maybe thinking of uh the hot dogs and sausage party like if you were one of
15:40
those hot dogs then he should have been more specific yeah
15:45
well this is it was early in the morning when we asked so you can't blame him too
15:50
much he didn't have his coffee yet oh uh I am foot boy ask I wonder what he's
15:57
going to ask about icore Amore
16:04
footboy he asked how old were you when you realize your feet weren't average
16:09
but sexy AF well thank you very much for acknowledging that I am quite fond of my
16:14
feet um you know what I think that I became really aware of it around the
16:21
time of The Ultimate Fighter because I found all of my pictures on Wiki feet oh
16:28
really I like oh wow people really like my feet yeah I'm like you know what
16:33
they're they're pretty nice too got to say five star was it after or before Ultimate Fighter you sell your W Wiki
16:40
feet page after okay yeah yeah there are a whole bunch of clips from The Ultimate Fighter I was like where did they get
16:45
these from did people like screenshot this like how did they get these pictures they did like how they find uh
16:53
training footage they find like uh any TV show that you were on they go through
16:59
your social media guys if you don't know what wik feed is
17:04
um if you're a foot guy you know what wik feed is but if you're not there's a good chance you don't know what wik feed
17:11
is it is a website dedicated to celebrities feet and it's not controlled
17:19
by anyone it's like Wikipedia like anybody can go on there and add to it yeah yeah so like a a person isn't going
17:26
to make a Wiki feet page for themsel but the fans they make these fan pages for
17:31
people's feet it's really weird I was going to say it's it's just
17:39
it's it's very strange like I don't know it baffles my mind that it exists
17:45
but at the same time I love showing it to people I'm just like check this out why don't you see how many stars you
17:51
have like whenever a girl comes and visits and U she'll say something about her feet I'm like oh do you have a Wiki
17:56
feet page and you're like what's that and like you have a wik feet page she sees her entire life her entire foot's
18:04
life documented on the internet kind of wild it is pretty wild I wouldn't be
18:09
surprised they well maybe that would be like a a different realm but I'm like I wouldn't be surprised they had like baby
18:16
feet oh oh that's kind of crossing a line right there I know right I'm like kind of Crossing line feet people aren't
18:22
bad people they're just feet people yeah exactly exactly
18:29
Oh weird okay so um oh this is a fun one we kind of didn't touch on this when we
18:37
were talking about Grant Dawson where and who would you match Grant Dawson with after last
18:43
night he's not ranked anymore yeah he he's not ranked right yeah they said he went from number 10 to
18:50
unranked I guess after the Bobby green fight so I mean I feel like he could hop
18:57
back up to one of the people ranked Underneath Him underneath
19:02
um Green Oh wait is green ranked anymore I don't think so ah I think he fell off
19:08
oh you know I would like to see him against gamrat I mean gam Rat's number nine gamrat yeah because it'd be a good
19:14
grappling it'd be grappling um or ha Doos okay I'd like to see that one I
19:21
would I think I would prefer Doos just because he's like you know new guard or
19:26
Old Guard new guard yeah I think I'd like to see that hael Danos is ranked number 13 okay um I don't I don't know
19:34
if he's booked or not but I think I would really like to see that one yeah I I think that'd be fun um Jaylen Turner
19:41
would be a fun one too but he's coming off of a loss oh but it was to Ronald moano and we've seen how well that's
19:48
aged uh you know win or lose against moano is like he's on the rise right now
19:54
so um yeah Jaylen Turner would be fun Patty pimbblet is number 15
19:59
stop are you not isn't he isn't he too I
20:04
thought they were trying to book him I don't know maybe maybe there's something in the wind but on Wikipedia Wikipedia
20:11
wikip Wikipedia Wikipedia look at
20:17
pimpa um he doesn't have a fight yet after his last fight against Green
20:26
and he looked uh so good against Bobby green that would probably be a fight
20:31
that he'd be down to take just because it's another win
20:37
um that he can you know if if you're looking at MMA math he he consider oh
20:43
Bobby Green beat him then I should be able to beat him but think Dawson has that like knockout ability so it's going
20:50
to be uh you know M math doesn't math all the time especially when the skills
20:55
are different lining up yeah I just see them trying to move Patty up a little
21:01
bit I don't know if Grant Dawson would do that for him um I don't know if it would be like enough of a a selling kind
21:07
of like mouthpiece fight that they're wanting out of Patty yeah like two two uh unpredictable of a fight to risk
21:15
getting knocked down a peg for Patty yeah but I mean he's he's in he's top 15
21:22
now so that that's going to be harder and harder to match him up yeah yeah I I
21:28
like uh I like Grant Dawson against anyone um 11 through
21:34
15 but yeah uh dos anos that would be a fun one for sure I like that one um
21:40
let's see I feel like we hit all the
21:46
questions did we know uh we already talked about this but uh KS as s deato
21:54
Split Decision Fest at UFC Vegas any thoughts you
22:00
round out your thoughts for that one um I think he should be sanctioned and and
22:05
you know put on time out to be honest um I think there has to be something done with these repeat offenders in um making
22:13
really bad calls and I don't know exactly what that would look like but for me it would be some time off and
22:20
then a reevaluation at a lighter time yeah yeah
22:25
I think if you got rid of certain people and and there was less uproar about
22:31
fight decisions all of a sudden why bring them back yeah I mean look at how
22:36
fast they pull some of these refs out you know midc card they're they're making bad calls they'll they'll pull
22:43
them and how long did it take for them to get rid of Douglas Crosby he was threatening people at the gems he was
22:50
threatening certain Fighters at certain gems and they still had him raing those
22:56
gems Fighters fights Jud yeah oh judging sorry judging those Fighters fights like
23:01
it it's it was an obvious conflict of interest he was obviously a bad egg and
23:09
anyone who talked to him knew that he was crazy like he legit just didn't
23:14
listen to any uh any criticism or anything like when people are like oh
23:20
this is how you should judge fights and he'll just go no no I judge it this way you know like that's not the way that
23:26
Sports work it's not way that it's supposed to work there has to be a criteria that everyone has agreed upon
23:33
and going with and he had gone against that multiple times and been rude to
23:40
Fighters and obviously showed that he was uh you know wasn't going to score
23:46
fairly for these guys so it took all of that plus him totally screwing up a
23:53
couple Cards doing like the backto back thing where he like took a red eye and then
23:59
uh scored another card badly um that was the thing that finally got him looked at
24:07
and got him canned so it's like there were so many steps to getting rid of
24:12
this guy who already had enough evidence against them to get rid of them it's like these people they really have to
24:20
mess up in order to get out of there how about just getting them out of there when they mess up you know yeah like
24:27
Fighters get cut were losing backto back split decisions yeah why can't the
24:33
people who did those split decisions that were on the wrong why can't they get cut after no it's a fair question
24:40
messing up back question you know let them work their way back up go to LFA
24:46
you know go to like go to the regional scene score some fights right work your
24:52
way back up to the Big Show you know it's it's just it there has to be another reason that there're still
24:58
employed it just reminds me of this tenur professor that I had he was like
25:03
he was you know just before retirement and every single day he'd be like I really don't care what you guys do or what I'm teaching because I'm tenure
25:10
what thanks teacher that's it yeah why do your job harder than you have to do
25:18
if you're going to get paid the same yeah you're good Why Try
25:24
yeah well on that note should we talk about some uh of the
25:31
other fights coming up on our card or your card rather it's our card um I've
25:37
got to say so my new favorite fighter uh Michelle Pereira is is headlighting with
25:43
Anthony hernandz and the reason he is my new favorite fighter is because of all of the amazing things he was doing
25:49
rescuing animals during the floods in Brazil a was he he was out there a I
25:57
love him a I don't know him I've never met him but I love him oh that's really cool it was amazing good for him yeah
26:04
you think he's going to be Anthony Hernandez I do oh okay yeah
26:09
how by some crazy flying backp flying backflip cartwheel punch head kick yeah
26:17
yeah I would love to see a cartwheel punch TKO by acrobatics I can see it I can I can picture that that should be
26:24
our next tutorial we didn't do any tutorials last time but oh we were supped suppos man we had other things to worry
26:31
about yeah um but cartwheel punch I see that working for him so when
26:38
I was watching the fights last night I just kept seeing marose and I just kept thinking of this
26:45
ah the jerk off jab did you see it a lot now now I can't unsee it it's a good jab
26:51
though it's not bad technique it's it's it's it's similar to uh Dobson or what's
26:57
his name uh uh chitty's opponent um Gordon is
27:02
similar to Gordon's broomstick hook yes yeah now I see it everywhere jerk
27:09
off jab broomstick broomstick jerk off jab there it is never put your elbows down ever nobody body kicks in MMA it's
27:18
fine nobody throws a body shot keep your elbows up it doesn't
27:23
matter you'll never pay for it I kid um yeah that would that would be
27:31
cool to see him get that win especially after doing that because that uh that was super recent the floods in Brazil
27:37
right or it was within the last year yeah yeah yeah that's really cool that he was doing that
27:44
um uh we also have uh o two bantamweights that I really like seeing
27:49
fight Rob font and Kyler Phillips uh KY Phillips is one of those guys that are
27:55
always in the Flow State like uh like Roy V just constantly doing weird stuff
28:01
he'll go for takedowns he'll jump up he would throw a cartwheel punch like he would just in the moment make a move up
28:08
throw it it would work then he' jump on him choke him out like he's just super
28:14
uh super flowy I really love watching him fight and Rob font is kind of the opposite like very technical very
28:20
precise I love his boxing his boxing is soul I've always been such a fan of of
28:25
his one two yeah just amazing and if there's anything that can beat someone who is just able to do everything at
28:32
once it's throw down the middle clean one too throw down the middle a clean one too it beats you every time so it's
28:39
just a matter of who whose style is going to work out the best in this and then our boy
28:44
energy yo this is like uh I didn't even realize how many who was on this card
28:51
but actually I didn't either yeah I'm like oh [ __ ] if if I'm on a card I'm just focusing on myself yeah I'm like
28:58
it's a reunion Charles Johnson is up against
29:04
Sue m g um not very familiar with his
29:10
opponent but Charles Johnson is a dog he's been looking really good lately uh
29:15
just putting everything together his wrestling looked on point last fight his uh striking is always the thing that
29:22
people are trying to get him down to avoid uh and this guy he just
29:28
Sue muda G he just got submitted by Tim Elliott um he was also submitted by Matt
29:35
Schnell so we might be seeing a a ground attack ground game kind of game plan
29:42
from Charles Johnson because he's really good on the ground he's just been getting a match with these really like
29:49
super hot wrestlers so we've seen more of his striking offense than his
29:54
grappling offense but I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to go for submission if if Sue's been getting
30:00
submitted by these guys in the all of his losses are by submission he has a lot of Tiko wins so I I know that
30:06
they're wanting an exciting fight I know that they're wanting one of those like classic uh Johnson you know bangers of a
30:14
fight he's um he he doesn't shy away from those challenges and even when he's down you can't count him out I see this
30:23
fight being a finish for sure I agree yeah I don't see this one going to
30:28
decision and then um just looking at the rest of the card oh we got the damage on
30:34
here oh my gosh always love watching Darren elin's fight uh he is fighting
30:40
Daniel pan so that's going to
30:47
be a barn burner pans always shows up yeah that's going to be a barn burner um
30:54
and his poor wife I know she just must be used to it by now she probably has
31:00
like a a whole like first aid kit at home specifically for him in his cuts
31:06
that he gets in training uh I feel like he walks out the door and there's a strong gust of wind and he just I feel
31:13
like there's a lot of bubble wrap at their house and duct tape yes lots of duct
31:19
tape lots of lots of super glue oh poor guy man he's always game I love watching
31:25
him fight yeah me too you know it's going to be great and then we have Jessica Penny versus
31:31
Ali yay oh and another person on the card who uh I keep telling J that she
31:39
needs to collab with Elise ellene oh yeah she takes on Melissa Martinez yeah
31:45
Megan is that Megan moo or no no no no that's somebody
31:52
else yeah Melissa Martinez super Melly that's who it is the like some other
31:58
girl named Mega something and but she is super super Melly super Melly is taking
32:05
on Elise ardelene uh that girl she was like big in combate right yeah I
32:11
remember they were they talked about matching me up with her okay at one point yeah UFC will never say it but she
32:18
was in kbat Americas they don't like saying other promotions when they uh when they talk
32:25
about these people but that's that's another thing I wanted to talk about about uh they just announced that
32:30
Pantoja is fighting uh aukur who is this Japan's that he is
32:37
this Japanese champion from uh I'm pretty sure onefc isn't it 1fc
32:45
yeah yeah asakura um he's a Japanese champion from 1fc he basically got traded to the UFC
32:54
did they buy out his contract oh is it risen
32:59
I think it's risen hold on I gotta I did no research for this it's okay yeah I believe it's rizen
33:10
so that is yeah risen he's a risen Champion he oh he beat Juan archuletta
33:18
uh TKO to KN in December of 2023 and he's just been killing people um in
33:25
risen nobody wanted to fight him apparently he's lost to manell cop o and
33:34
uh a huchi by TKO in 20209 and
33:40
2020 so I'm I feel like I feel like people did want to fight him I'm kind of
33:47
not I'm not convinced just looking at his don'tu his story line I'm not convinced that no one wanted to fight
33:54
him but at the same time he gets a quick shot to UFC Championship he gets to
34:01
fight he's jumping right into the deepend I like it I like it and I mean honestly it it I I feel kind of bad for
34:10
Kai Cara France though because I him Amir albazi maybe they were already booked up because I feel like they were
34:16
like right there yeah well Kai just had that big knockout um of who was it uh YK
34:24
I mean um ersc yes he just knocked out ersc who just fought for the title it
34:30
just feels like flyweight is really doing the guys dirty at the top
34:38
of the rankings and looking past them they're like that Meme where you see the
34:44
guy with like the top five fly weights walking by and then there's this hot
34:50
like hot flyweight that's never been tested walking past him and he's like oo
34:56
the new kid in the hall yeah yeah and they keep doing this like they did that with ERS he fought a couple times and
35:03
got to have the title shot and now they're doing it with uh this uh uh as
35:10
asakura guy and uh you know yeah if if that's true that no one wanted to fight
35:16
him I think that's cool but I feel like people wanted to fight him you think Roy Val would turn that down no no way I
35:23
feel like they just bought out his contract they put a lot of money on him and so now they're like here we your keep we got to make it make sense yes M
35:32
dollars make sense yes that's what I'm thinking I like that theory I feel like that might be very true sorry sorry no
35:40
hate no shade sorry Dana if we're blowing your spot up but it's kind of hard to believe looking at his record um
35:47
but that's an interesting fight to make I'm trying to see if uh uh those guys
35:53
yeah Kai car France he doesn't have a fight yet um
35:58
uh amiria Bazi he's fighting Brandon Moreno next so I guess that fight won't
36:06
happen um won't be able to happen in time for panta to defend on December 7th
36:12
so hey it timing is everything and they signed this guy right as the top like
36:20
one through five was kind of busy so now is the best time for them to bring in
36:26
some unknown like this if it's a new guy that's a better chance for Roy V to get
36:31
the title shot again if uh asakura beats uh Pantoja he has a better case because
36:38
no one wants to see him fight Pantoja a third time unless he does some more work beats some more prospects but at the
36:45
same time uh yeah you have winner of Mareno albazi that's Pro they're probably going to fight for the title
36:51
next that makes sense especially if it's well I say especially if it's albazi
36:57
just because Brandon Marino in Pia fought so many times but uh yeah loves
37:03
the trilogy I mean loves a Trilogy it
37:08
wouldn't wouldn't it be a
37:13
fogy them boys them boys fought each other like a million times but uh oh
37:20
wait no I'm thinking of Davidson figure oh my bad he does love a Trilogy so we'll see we'll see what happens
37:28
um and then you have balow fighting shavat excited this one I'm excited for
37:34
this one this was another pretty quick run to the title but I'm not mad at it
37:40
at all he did wait the time though like he's been talked about for a long time
37:47
and I think people legitimately didn't want to fight him because the people who see that the people he ended up fighting
37:53
are people who say yes to anything mhm and I can see a lot of people turning turning shav cot down um and that's why
38:01
he got the title shot so fast but uh I'm still in doubts when it comes to the
38:08
Risen guy I'm still in doubts well we'll see what he has to offer yeah but this soon enough this
38:15
fight uh shavkat versus balah Muhammad I I feel like I'm team bow right
38:23
now he's just such a hard worker and the way he show up in his last fight the way he put everything together he he just
38:31
really showed a lot of improvement grit uh he he filled in those gaps that that
38:37
he was really needing to um in his previous outings and I think I think
38:42
that shakov I think he still has a bit of Mystique about him yeah I think there's still like a little bit of
38:48
unknown and he's so sweet no I really like him I really like watching him fight do you remember him making sure
38:55
you had your bag in uh where was it were we in like uh
39:02
Long Island or something he was he was in like one of one of your fight weeks was
39:11
he yeah and he was like oh your your stuff a I don't remember that I'm pretty
39:18
sure that happened maybe I'm mistaken but he's very
39:23
nice he's a sweet he was raised right like you don't speak no English but
39:29
you're gonna make sure the girl has her bag getting off of the bus like that's so sweet I don't remember that probably
39:35
concuss I feel like he would hold the door like he would pull out the chair if he's on a date he would stand up when
39:43
your mom walked into the room like he just seems very he would take his hat
39:48
off uh to to greet his elders and he walk he has a hawk right his special hat
39:54
yes oh he has a hawk too oh no there's a picture that Laura Seno just did with like the hat and the hawk
40:01
it was very it was in salute of of the fing an maybe like the national bird or
40:06
something if he has a hawk he the he probably trained the hawk to bring you flowers yes he's a good good guy he's a
40:13
good guy no I'm a big fan of his fighting style yeah yeah it's a justos
40:19
to his fighting style I think is the funniest thing you have this really sweet person um who fights like a Savage
40:26
a jerk like he fights like a jerk like I I just
40:33
think it's really awesome um but yeah balal is such a hard hard worker like you said I love the way he like clawed
40:39
his way to the top he demanded the title shot he got it he took advantage of that
40:45
opportunity and I I legit hope that he holds on to it for a long time because
40:51
of he worked so hard to get there he had to do the work that uh defending
40:57
Champion has to do just to get to the championship belt so you have to feel like from here now on he's just in
41:04
cruise control like all he has to do is keep doing what he's been doing and he should be able to beat everyone that
41:09
comes at him but shavkat he's just such a monster when it comes to everything
41:15
that he does it's not just striking it's not just grappling he just puts it all together really well and he's been a
41:21
impossible puzzle for people to solve so yeah we have not seen anybody put him on his on his heel
41:27
and that's what I see Bal needing to do I see that being his game plan I see that being the way to kind of um show
41:36
that uh Ro rck manov is is human and we've seen him in trouble like
41:44
we've seen uh rck manov in trouble every now and then um way more often than
41:50
we've SE bow in his last like four fights so I know there's moments like uh
41:56
the Jeff nil fight I feel like he showed a little bit of uh vulnerability there
42:02
uh Jeff nil was able to get off on him uh able to do a few things but then
42:07
inevitably he found a way to get the win I feel like balow is going to balow in
42:13
his camp they're really good at looking back on all those winds and pulling out
42:18
the things that everyone did well against him and using that in his game plan I feel like that's how he beat Leon
42:24
Edwards just being able to pick apart exact where people did well against Leon and use it to his uh Advantage so I'm
42:33
I'm excited to see that one um excited for both of those fights they are both pretty crazy fights and then we finally
42:39
get to see the fight everyone's been looking forward to luuk a versus Nick
42:45
Diaz yay let's see if that dog still got it
42:52
hey I'm all for uh Nick trying to get his feet wet again and get back in there
42:58
and uh you know I just I just hope that he's not just doing it for a paycheck
43:03
and he actually wants to get in there because he feels like he can compete with the best in the world I think that he's one of those Fighters that has
43:12
popularity to the point where I think he was set up for for Success like I I feel
43:17
like he does not need to fight you know what I'm saying I feel like he still wants to but I can I can understand
43:26
how he may feel and how it can be disheartening and and unmotivating to be honest to have had such a a crappy thing
43:34
happen with that suspension yeah I've you know I'm I'm no stranger to to stuff
43:39
like that so I just I can understand where he may feel a little bit lost in
43:46
that comeback and and not really sure where where to get in and fit in but I
43:51
think that you know Nick Diaz if he wanted to I think that he still has the
43:56
ability to be you know to make a run to be a competitor to yes dude he he was
44:04
one of my favorite fighters to watch just because he had that that dog that tenacity uh that fire in him and I think
44:11
that um you know if I would love to still see it for sure it it just you
44:18
always think of that just being away from the game from
44:24
for so long uh competing in a weight class that's super competitive um and
44:32
just you know his last fight he didn't look like he wanted to be there no he didn't he kept he kept talking about how
44:38
he was confused why that matchup was made I I think I understand why it was made because they're two veterans in
44:44
Robie Lawler um I think that I think I like the match up between him and liuk
44:49
because I feel like they're kind of in similar similar positions in their
44:54
career potentially uh I think that it could be a fun matchup and I think it's
45:00
somebody that I can see a path to victory for either one of them so what's
45:06
Wild to me is I thought this was a lot more recent but his uh fight against
45:12
Anderson Silva was in 2015 oh my gosh that was his fight
45:18
before the Robbie Lawler wi in 2001 that is crazy so that's why I'm
45:25
just like H why why make this fight but if he goes out there and proves everyone
45:31
wrong if he goes out there and puts on a show whether he wins or loses if he looks competitive then that's a huge
45:38
thing that's a huge deal for him for whoever he fights next like there's a
45:43
lot of guys who aren't going to be able to beat Vicente luk that are in the UFC
45:49
there's a lot of matches to make if you loses if he wins that's crazy that's astronomical that means a lot more but
45:57
uh realistically it it looks like he's being set up to to lose um there must be
46:02
something that his Camp sees that they can take advantage of against viente um
46:09
the grappling the boxing something something that they're looking at where they're like this is a good match um I
46:15
feel like this is a worse match than Robbie Lawler you know but I don't think so you don't think so all right well I
46:23
don't think so I don't know I just I just feel like when it comes to that ticking clock and just being it's not
46:30
even age it's like cage years and being out of the game truly being out a game
46:36
for almost 10 years it's going to be a really hard thing for him to get a win
46:41
over someone who's been active who's been competing at the top competing uh
46:47
with ranked guys in the division was at one time looked at to be you know in
46:53
recent history looked to be someone who could 10 for the title so this is a big
46:59
big matchup for him and uh yeah fingers crossed no I'm rooting for him fingers
47:06
crossed it works out yeah yeah um yeah so we got some great fights coming up we
