hello hello oh I like that little pador you got going on there oh you just like
0:08
flipped it up it looks very 80s does it oh hold on let me check oh yes I love it
0:15
I got a wave going on I used to do this with gel oh I used to like try and get a little volume I love it we're going to
0:21
fix this I'm like where's your leg warmers um I do have scrunch shocks that
0:28
I I brought back you know they're like still they're Trend okay I can there you go the pump kit went
0:35
down see that's looking out I should have done like a really big like uh really big one like a a bump because I
0:43
mean the fights were in Jersey last night so oh yeah none of the girls were out though
0:48
the Jersey Boys the the boys were out the but um yeah not the girls or Jersey
0:56
Shore Jersey City I know what you're talking about yeah yeah everyone knew um
1:01
man the fights were pretty crazy last night actually people were saying that they weren't that great but I think the
1:07
shenanigans is like within the fights yes there was some interesting story lines interesting uh moments and events
1:15
that happened it was really weird but uh let's talk about the main before I forget what happened because you know
1:21
how that like drinking we had like a little fight party and the drinking fog will come over and kind of erase your
1:28
memories of what happened but dude like that fight was a crazy fight it's
1:33
already settled in for me just side note yeah the drinking fog is gone what
1:39
happened the porier win just like we predicted oh no he um he did he did a v he had a
1:48
valiant effort it was a very competitive fight um it was another another fight where I think people are going to be
1:54
able to game plan a little bit off of it like see where Islam was kind of uh a
2:00
couple of little openings but man I think out of everything I'm just so impressed with Islam's like striking and
2:08
how he's improving his game every time he looked less awkward on the feet I think um with khabib a lot of times like
2:15
people would be like oh I don't know man if he fights a good Striker who can defend his takedowns then he might get
2:21
lit up and Islam a lot of the rounds that he won were just on the feet like he couldn't get a taked down but he was
2:27
still winning the exchanges on the feet he was either staying uh level with the
2:33
amount of volume that poier was throwing or Landing more power being able to do
2:38
more of his shots but it was really cool to see because Po's boxing is on another
2:44
level when it comes to like that Division and um just all UFC but makev
2:51
was able to just hang with them on the feed and really show him stuff and hurt him a little bit on the on the feet
2:57
before he went for his takedowns I think what I've noticed about M makev and um
3:03
makash makev yeah I always [ __ ] it up there's a in
3:12
there sets up his takeown he goes changes level what I think i' I've
3:18
noticed about him and khabib that is so special what what they lack in certain
3:24
areas CU I mean they're dominant Grapplers both of them but what what makes up for it is their tenacity their
3:32
pressure their cardio and just the the the volume and intention behind those
3:37
punches yeah it's um sometimes when I see people that are very technical they
3:43
can be a little less urgent they're trying to hit those nice [ __ ] shot and he just gives no [ __ ] when he grow and
3:50
I think that makes the difference it makes it really hard to fight someone like that because you can't breathe you
3:56
can't you know turn your punches over properly you can't you know do all of these technical things that that you're
4:01
trying to do that you've trained so well to do uh because somebody is just constantly in your face Y and you know
4:09
as soon as you get comfortable in that firefight they're going to drop down and grab you exactly so anyone with that
4:16
pressy wrestling style if they just throw their punches and throw their strikes of confidence there's a good
4:22
chance you're really going to get ahead against someone who's trying to stay up trying to box trying to just out strike
4:29
but not get taken down like it's a real uh it's a really intimidating thing finding fighting someone like that there
4:36
there is an energy that that you feel and that is so draining in those moments
4:42
because people that are technical that are used to using their range need that space they need a little bit of a
4:49
breather you know they just need a little moment to to get that technical thing going and when you fight somebody
4:56
with pressure like that with cardio like that it's really hard to do and it'll take you out of your game yeah for sure
5:02
um I was really impressed with poier though uh there were a couple things that he did that you could see that
5:09
confidence started coming back to him like every time he got taken down you're just like ah he got stuck all around
5:16
like that first round it was real crazy the way that um you could see the game plans for both Fighters like Islam was
5:23
coming forward porier threw like a big uppercut as he changed levels but it was
5:28
a faint you're like no and then he went right onto the leg and got that like big
5:34
Tak down up against the fence and they were stuck there or por was stuck with uh Islam on his back for most of that
5:40
round and then like right after that round India just like all the poier fans
5:46
let out a big sigh like this ain't going to be our night you saw theovon in the back just like standing up and screaming
5:53
with his arms I'm like bro what was he saying he was just
5:58
screaming it was just very animated like it was it was a little distracting for me you're distracting porier stop
6:07
it um yeah it was it was really a kind of a a let down for all the people who
6:13
were rooting for the underdog in that round but then he came back like he was defending the takedowns in the second he
6:19
got that big reversal in the third um yeah there were a lot of moments that porier kind of had that elbow that cut
6:26
him the fourth like there there were so many little moments where you're like okay I think he's going to get it and
6:32
then the end of the fourth round I think that's where the height of the drama happened because he had just cut uh
6:39
Islam with his elbow and then Islam had him like pinned up against the fence and he started sinking in the ghilly and he
6:47
was talking to everyone and he's just having fun in there and like I'm want to get it and the commentators go you can
6:53
see the blood gushing out of his forehead you're just like it's GNA happen
7:00
but then the fifth round happened I know it's um it it would have made a
7:05
wonderful story it really would have like that's um you know it's kind of like one of those movie fairy tale
7:12
ending kind of stories it didn't happen that way but there there are so many
7:17
positive takeaways you know as as a fan as an athlete watching that fight um I
7:23
just in admiration of Justin porier and the way he holds himself I mean he took
7:29
a brutal headbutt that broke his nose and when he sat down in the corner his cornermen are
7:34
talking to him he's like it's fine it's fine like it's nothing I'm like bro I know that [ __ ] hurts and then to be
7:41
like to repeated oh I mean you just saw it instantly you it was here and then
7:46
the head happened and it was like oh man to fight through that I mean to to
7:52
sustain that blow and then to fight through it for another few rounds it's just it's so painful but that just like
7:59
speaks to like what an athlete he is and um I I just I have a lot of respect and
8:06
admiration for him so much man so much that um how much were you freaking out
8:12
even though he does this every fight but how much were you freaking out every time we fix the shorts oh my [ __ ] God I swear to
8:19
goodness that is the most frustrating tick because no seriously I I think I
8:25
was saying last night I want a clicker and I want to count how punches he took
8:31
because his hands were down fiddling with his shorts so I I am defending
8:36
Dustin with this because I do feel like every time he gets hit it's when his hands are
8:41
up it's during an exchange I feel like he's not getting hit when he's fixing his shorts but I haven't done the
8:47
research so I think we do need to get a clicker and go back and watch tape
8:53
and see how much that's affecting him cuz it's an easy fix right like okay cut
8:59
short shorter we have we have seamstresses that are ready to to modify
9:05
these shorts to whatever makes them more comfortable if I was his wife I would demand that he wears the little panties
9:11
thats yeah the um that The Rock wore and that movie oh God no yeah the little the
9:18
little wrestling panties that's what I would make them wear I'd be like no we're not we're not doing this again
9:23
you're putting those on and you're going to be touching your thigh if anything no do you not remember when Den hman wore
9:30
those bikini freaking wrestling type shorts in there yeah but I and what happened I think he didn't wear the
9:37
right ones like he had like Brazilian cut there are no right ones no I know what you're saying though his were like
9:44
like female Speedos he it was doing the opposite of what a cup is supposed to do like was splitting the balls in half
9:51
instead of and he and he's a Grappler he's like he's a bottom guy he should know why would you you're going to end
9:58
up in positions that you're going to be really upset about when those pictures come out after those fights it's like
10:04
when a girl wears a top and she knows she's doing some physical activity where something's going to pop out but it's a
10:10
cute top like that's what he was doing he was like it's cute shorts I like them
10:15
that happened to me the other night at Salsa I was wearing a tube top and somebody spun me and then it like it
10:20
slipped down luckily I had my little pasties on but and it was dark it was dark but I just thought I thought that
10:28
you know strapless top had a little bit more a little more uh tension yeah is
10:34
you worn it too many times washed itess yeah exactly it's a little bit too loose for me oh man maybe but these are things
10:40
you need to test out beforehand yeah maybe if hman had uh pasties for his balls we could still wear men could
10:47
still wear the little panties in the Octagon oh my God I mean Brazilians were doing it for a long time before and they
10:53
never had that kind of issue yeah he just didn't get the right brand oh my goodness it was probably an American
10:58
brand probably that's why but um yeah they need to do something give them the short shorts
11:05
like the really short like uh Muay Tha shorts where they're hiked up basically
11:11
you see like side butt they're cut there nothing to fiddle with you know tuck
11:17
them in tuck them into those like compression shorts that they give you to wear underneath the board shorts I'm
11:23
just it was really frustrating it was don't give him a little bit give him a little bit of space before bring this up
11:30
we'll we'll we'll go come back around in 6 months I know we'll see him at a fight week we'll be sitting down to dinner
11:36
like hey I got a question what the [ __ ] um it's so frustrating it like it
11:43
ju it's yeah it's an easy fix and there's probably a lot more he could be
11:49
doing with his hands instead of f fixing the shorts in a fight but what I was
11:54
really mad about was the one moment where his jumping the Ghillie would have
12:01
made the most sense he spun out he like tried to turn away he tried to kick out and that's
12:08
when uh what what is that takeown called that little like ankle thing oh I know what you're talking about yeah it's a
12:14
[ __ ] I know the name for it but it's not a tree toop but it's like that where you just kind of dip the ankle and then
12:21
bring them back around and it's so crazy how uh how much like power you can
12:27
generate from that little moment yeah just like that yes both legs come up he
12:34
flipped them around and was able to jump on the head but that moment because he had his foot like this you could see
12:41
pory thinking maybe I could cover the head right now but everyone was telling
12:47
me not to do it and in that little moment of hesitation is M was able to get that Tak down I was so mad for him
12:54
because I'm like I bet if they weren't telling him not to do it he would have jumped for it and that was the position
13:00
because he was extended his neck was kind of out there to be grabbed I felt like he could have got his chest over
13:06
his head and really gotten that especially because he was so committed to that foot
13:11
but it is what it is it and it was a beautiful gutin uh Isam went for before
13:17
he got that Dar like it it was really like nice yeah that one hurt my feelings
13:23
it did I'm like you can't at least he didn't get it
13:29
we got to we got to look at the positives um but yeah that was such a crazy fight um and I really um I was
13:38
kind of interesting how uh Islam summed up his last few title defenses like he
13:45
was saying that he didn't feel that energy like he felt when he won the belt
13:51
and he wants to go up a weight class now so he can fill that energy again interesting yeah well I mean
13:59
I I don't he's he's a big 55 so I don't think 170 is is like a a huge leap for
14:08
him the way it would be other 55ers especially with his style too yeah like
14:13
he has that Usman style you know he's able to just come forward pressure get
14:20
to the taked down hit really hard imagine how hard he's going to be able to hit without that crazy of a weight
14:26
cut too absolutely it adds something into like your confidence in your cardio
14:31
um you're throwing with literally more weight because you didn't have to do as drastic of the weight cut so he probably
14:37
won't be really dieting until maybe a few weeks out in order to make that way
14:43
I don't think he blows up that much I mean you never know it's it's always crazy to me when I see people go up a
14:49
weight class prime example is Jeremy Stevens yeah like this man was you know
14:54
starving himself to stay within the the 145 you know featherweight Division and
15:00
as soon as he decided his body was like party let's go as soon as he went up to
15:07
55 his body just filled out and then he was having just as uh just as
15:13
challenging of weight Cuts trying to make 55 that's true yeah this is the same with like ol Vera yeah he like this
15:20
just happens your body finally has some space to breathe and it'll just like
15:26
it'll just fill in all the nooks and crannies I've been waiting for this moment for so long thank you and they just run with it it's like when you uh
15:32
move into a new place is a little bigger and you're like man I don't have enough Furniture to fill up this place and then
15:38
all of a sudden you're a hoarder like there's stuff in every corner of every
15:43
room I feel attacked I mean the set looks pretty clean now but that's cuz we have a sheet
15:50
over all the crap I've acquired over the years all of a sudden
15:56
just have so many more plants and crystals and and things that I don't
16:01
need but they make me feel better random uh action figures trinket [ __ ] Adam
16:08
um what uh what matchup are you more interested in seeing for Islam makev
16:14
because we have Leon Edwards versus Balan muhamad coming up so if he were to move up it would be a fight against one
16:20
of those guys do you think that he could get right in the mix like that I actually after you said I mean I know
16:26
that they're under same management but I would love to see them against kamaru oh
16:32
yeah I mean I feel like I mean he's fought Ali people have fought each other before right probably for the belt or
16:38
for high stakes I feel like but yeah but I mean I feel like Usman is still like
16:44
right there he's still that guy and I feel like that would be a great way to see exactly where Islam is yeah in the
16:51
mix at 170 yeah cuz um I mean another fight they can make is uh chamv and he
16:57
just beat Usman so that's like another crazy like star
17:04
studded fight that you could just pull out of your ass for 170 before he challenges for the belt but if let's say
17:14
I don't know well Leon Edwards I hate saying this what are you gonna say
17:19
Angela don't say it don't say you can't take it back once you say it what are you gonna say Leon Edwards and balal
17:25
Muhammad aren't the most exciting Fighters well I think when it comes to
17:31
like name VI like I love Leon edwards' style I love the way he fights but when it comes to like people getting excited
17:38
when they hear oh this guy's gonna fight it's like a lose lose with the two of them like no I I'll say this so I get
17:46
excited when Leon Edwards fights yeah but the matchup does not excite me
17:52
because like both of them I feel like Leon can really like he's so beautiful
17:57
to watch yes his technique he's so precise it really is a sight to see and then there's balal who I'm not saying he
18:04
does not deserve it I'm not saying he hasn't earned it he definitely deserves a title shot not a sight to
18:11
see that came out wrong you worse than what I said you set me up you did I'm
18:18
off the hook sorry Leon I love the way you fight I'm just saying like so does Jess sorry bow I'm really impressed by
18:26
the way you're able to make every fight look the way does it's impressive as a
18:32
fighter I'm impressed by it as a
18:37
fan you said that well yeah you said that well you said that well just them
18:43
together it it does not um equal fireworks for me yes like like in any
18:48
Dimension any Universe anything like that it just doesn't but it could it could be
18:55
fireworks it's just I don't think people are going to be lining up to see it but I think if it's I think it does have
19:03
a good possibility of being cool like Edwards
19:09
Usman or bow uh what was the fight there was a fight where he finished it
19:14
recently and everyone was like holy crap um oh again Shan Brady was it yeah yeah
19:21
and I was just like oh okay like blow's exciting you know so but he had a good dance partner so like it it does take
19:28
that it's like we watched you know Strickland and Costa last night oh and we had no idea that that was going to be
19:36
the SN Fest that it was lackluster yeah like and they just they didn't bring out
19:41
the best in each other for whatever reason I don't know I mean we saw some excitement like at the last 30 seconds
19:47
of the last round yeah I don't know why that was a five round fight either no me neither I feel like Costa just really
19:53
needs three rounders mhm like why did why did why did you guys do that to him why did you do that to him why'd you do
19:59
that to us he was running the whole time because he didn't want to gas out like he didn't
20:05
want to gas out he didn't want to get hit by those stab kicks those uh Jabs like Strickland has a great way of
20:12
sapping someone's energy because I and I think I've said it before he's just like uh when you're playing one of those
20:17
video games where the wall is coming at you and you just got to run fast and
20:22
jump over obstacles and stay away from the wall like that's what Strickland does he's just this wall coming out at
20:28
you and there was one point where um DC was like oh I wish Strickland would cut
20:34
him off but that's not stricklin style like he follows he follows you like a
20:40
[ __ ] like demon and every time you think you can like angle off and get
20:46
like a good angle on him he just follows and if he didn't follow if he did like kind of Sid step and cut off I feel like
20:53
that would have lined up more offense for Paulo uh like lining up the cross and everything if you're like stepping
21:01
to the side and trying to cut the cage off but the way that it's like Strickland just figured out a way to
21:06
goon his way through a fight like he he shuts off all offense for people and is
21:12
very unorthodox um even though he's sticking with like two or three things that he's
21:18
good at and it's just like a really funny way of of attacking matchups like
21:23
you you can tell he spars a lot because he's able to just figure out his own style and how it can work against every
21:30
other style but uh that includes just following people just walking right in front of them and making sure they never
21:37
have a second to breathe yeah so there's no angle to like cut out on no no it's just you're just trying to breathe
21:43
you're trying to breathe you're trying to land something on him and every time you throw something at him because he's right in front of you he's able to get
21:49
that shoulder in the way like elbow frame do something to deflect it so he
21:54
doesn't really get hit at all and to not get hit against paoc Costa that's a a
22:00
pretty big feat it it definitely is it's impressive um I just I wish that that fight had
22:07
been a little bit more of what my expectations led me to believe was going to happen well we saw the Whitaker fight
22:13
with poost and we're like all right all right he's back yes and then we saw the the Strickland fight with the places and
22:19
we're like yo that was exciting so we're like this you put two people from those
22:24
events together and you're like this is a fight I feel like I don't know when I
22:29
saw them at the presser I feel like they have like the secret friendship like I feel like they're going to be friends
22:35
afterwards and they were like really trying not to ruin the Friendship yeah I just had this weird feeling that they
22:41
were really worried about after the fight yeah they like want to hang out with each other there was so much
22:47
respect it was sickening I like I who are these people I know they're they're kind of the same person only Paulo cson
22:55
is like Brazilian yeah so but when it comes to their online personas I think
23:01
paoc Costa is like the Brazilian Strickland I feel like they just want to hang out with each other so they were trying not to do anything
23:08
to that's what they want to do you realize I'm editing editing that out you
23:14
understand that right okay just so just so we it's PR mon everyone did you see
23:20
uh I was cracking up um off of a Luke rockhold's post did you see it no he did
23:27
some stupid like right now okay on his Instagram yeah and
23:33
it was a happy pride month what's his name post Luke Rock what's his I'm foggy I told you the
23:40
fog has rolled in it's one of those mornings I love it
23:46
at least I'm being honest wait which one is it um I believe
23:55
it's this one yeah post a little grappling video and you
24:01
gota wait for the end you gota wait for the end but he was very oh he oil checked
24:12
him you got to do it play bypl all right so he's just he's wrestle [ __ ] this
24:18
guy for sure which is you know on par with pride months
24:24
yeah oh that was it okay was it just the oil check it was the oil check and
24:29
at the end yeah he back mounted him pretty hard oh there's there's a lot of gratuitous shots in this yes he's
24:36
there's a lot of crot shots I think it's for his only fans he has only fans right he's trying to get those uh numbers up
24:43
yeah but he's part of the athlete paid program oh okay so he's not supposed to be doing
24:49
anything like that I I think most of the athletes still do that getting the
24:55
numbers up just double dipping yeah like little double dip they didn't say you can send a little footp pick here or
25:01
there you know they didn't say you can uh entice people in your DMs well now
25:07
from what I have heard from what I understand is that it was um very
25:12
successful with the athlete program what they were trying to do with like changing their brand and everything like that so I I don't know that that's going
25:18
to be happening anymore yeah well I'm no longer uh in the athlete program so um
25:25
we'll see if I resort to feet picks in the near
25:30
future as long as as long as I keep dressing up as paoc Costa there's a
25:37
there's a chance Adam will divorce me and then and then the foot pcks will be
25:42
SL flowing so I mean you're already married so it's
25:48
it's challenging for me who who is single I wonder how attractive my addressing up as uh Islam makev is I
25:55
think it probably up your up your numberb you got to post it on your page and see
26:00
what happens oh I don't think I did no I did you post it on your uh your my only F oh nice did you get any love I don't
26:07
think so see you you should have uh done a little strip teas
26:15
as not it's not his thing I was going for like very realistic you know we can
26:20
uh we could recate create recreate we could recreate the uh the
26:27
finishing move the um take down to the submission oh and then as a celebration
26:35
you strip okay okay we'll work that in that'll be
26:40
my celebration dance yeah it'll be a celebration dance people love it they'll love it
26:45
they'll love the beard they'll there's definitely a niche market for like women with beards there's got to be right
26:51
there has to be especially with no mustache that's like super Niche oh extra niche
26:58
but yeah the Costa fight was pretty going back to the Costa fight um the Strickland Costa fight how crazy was it
27:06
that one judge gave it to Costa dude what the [ __ ] what are they doing I
27:11
don't know and he screwed up one other at least one other fight yeah I think it was the first fight on the card and I'm
27:18
over there rolling my eyes because the commentators are like oh my God I can't believe this is happening this is going
27:24
to mess up people's careers and I'm just like [Laughter]
27:31
speaking of which um I mean I don't know that it's messed up your career I think your career is like a pretty awesome
27:36
trajectory you know as as somebody on the outside looking in I understand it's like affected your your money income
27:45
like you know coming in I get that a lot of money but I mean you're you're still there you're still kicking ass and I
27:50
think people like most of the fans and your supporters like know what's up
27:58
thinking yeah but um if I wasn't as resilient you know and just like kind of
28:04
like [ __ ] you to every slap in the face that I've gotten uh a lot of people could have easily quit if you've gone to
28:11
the judges as many times as I have and like not gotten a win you thought you did well and a lot of people would have
28:17
gotten cut yeah that's true so I've been like Lucky in that sense um lucky that
28:23
they respect the fights that I put on um but there's a lot of excit exting
28:28
Fighters that have been cut for Less too so there's a lot of luck there too um so
28:33
yeah that could have ruined my career as well getting cut from the UFC twice like there's there I don't think there's many
28:38
people who have come back twice maybe like Chase Sherman but I'm not sure if
28:43
that was once or twice but I don't think there's anyone who's gotten cut and come back to the UFC twice so easily that
28:49
could have and the judge that scored um one of the judges that scored my gelia
28:55
fight gelia yeah he was one of them yeah he guy yeah he was the one that scored
29:01
the fight for paoc Costa y so imagine you get two of these Knuckleheads on an
29:06
important fight card and they score the fight for the other person there's no
29:12
like yeah there's no repercussions for that the one judge that got the fight
29:17
right looks crazy because he was the one that didn't see it the way it was supposed to be could you imagine if Dave
29:23
trelli and Crosby were like right the judges on that same I'm pretty sure those are the judges on
29:30
my gelia or what's her name Adela bird yes yes she like forgot her new
29:35
prescription glasses that's you know letting her see clearly she forgot her um Aderall that would keep her up during
29:42
fights she's taking a nap um yeah this and that happens all the time and
29:48
there's nothing we could do about it because we have short memories and the only people who remember are the
29:53
fighters that got [ __ ] mhm but um this guy was luckily alone
30:00
Dave trelli was alone in his uh fights where he kind of messed up it was the first one I think versus it was Lima
30:07
versus somebody else that guy who got bit in his last fight um Mitch Ross raso
30:15
Yes Andre Lima and Mitch raso yeah Andre Lima obviously won at least two rounds could have been three um and then uh
30:23
trelli scored for the first two rounds were for um Ras so yeah so it it's just
30:30
kind of like watching that fight I was like there's no way this guy won two rounds there was one close round I feel
30:37
like but you still could have scored all three for reposto and then in the uh
30:43
Strickland fight he gave two rounds to co or what he four rounds to co four
30:48
rounds and he gave the last round to Strickland which round did he give to oh the last round the last round that's so
30:55
wild like I couldn't really think of any round that Costa won I I can't either
31:01
like there the other judge gave four rounds to uh Strickland who did he uh score which round did you score for
31:07
Costa so Sal deato and chrisly all scored at
31:12
the same they G oh sorry salato gave um Paulo the first round okay and that was
31:20
actually a closer round but he was still walking backwards the whole time like
31:25
yeah yeah I I would have given all five to Strickland I thought it was a shut up so did I I mean I I completely agree
31:33
I don't there was a funny moment in between rounds um with uh Strickland and
31:41
uh Nicki I forget what he said but I was like Y what the [ __ ] like he knew the
31:47
cameras were on him but I forget what he said he's like it's time to get out there and bury some bodies or something
31:52
like that do you remember that no I was just like man I need to like practice some lines with Adam for those big
32:00
moments where you know the camera is there and you're miked up and he could just say something
32:06
ridiculous like I gotta yeah like I really want him to just be like I want
32:11
you to get on top of this girl and [ __ ] her you know like just something and say
32:16
it with a straight face and really like sell it like a Rocky movie you know like no you got to do your hashtag like come
32:22
on an it's [ __ ] [ __ ] season yes yes that's a an you know what time it is you
32:29
know what season it is it's not spring it's not winther it's [ __ ] [ __ ]
32:36
season yeah the slaps slap on the butt I get out there big ass double leg jump on
32:43
her back bam hump hump finish hump KO oh
32:49
man we haven't had one of those we had a titty KO but we haven't had a hump KO yet I mean we did have a I mean I aen I
32:57
e how do you say her name oh yeah TW yeah she twerked on somebody
33:03
while she was ground pounding him she did right she did yeah she had a a
33:09
interesting fight too it was it was a little Street beefy but there was a lot
33:14
of rolling around that I was like I wish these guys would just throw down in front of each other but there are some
33:20
crazy moments in that fight too uh the first round was really strange to me yeah there was just there was a lot of
33:26
um a lot of reversals a lot of hugs a lot of hugs a lot of reversals a lot of hugs and rolling on the
33:33
floor yeah how did that happen so I'm watching this and you know I'm trying to
33:39
get better at my Jiu-Jitsu Journey but I'm watching this and I'm like how the [ __ ] are both of these girls able see
33:47
what happens is it's science and physics oh the ass is so fat and so heavy if you
33:55
if you put it up too much if you're not getting your hips down it's I mean it moves okay and then any little any
34:02
little movement can cause a big tumble and that's what happened okay so it's like it's like when when
34:09
you see those rocks balanced on top of each other you have to use a flatter Rock y if you use a rock that's too
34:16
round then they're just going to roll off of each other they're just too booty heavy too much booty in the pants yes
34:22
and it was two of them so it was just like two it was like a ying-ying they're just rolling in Infinity infinitely yes
34:30
dude that was crazy I'm like man that must suck every time every time
34:36
there was a reversal I'm like that sucks and then there was another reversal I'm like well that
34:42
sucks I keep imagining myself as the person who just got reversed like come on get your hips lower that was so wild
34:51
to me and it was just too too bottom heavy on the top there's no getting low
34:57
on that it's it's like how I uh explained to Derrick Lewis just get up it's hard to balance on that thing like
35:04
the only time he got stuck on the ground is when he had a six-pack yeah it's the only time when he had this nice like uh
35:11
nice belly it makes a lot harder to balance on top of it so it's probably the same thing it's harder to flatten
35:17
out someone who has so much underneath them that they just always are able to create space with that big old booty
35:24
yeah it's like like I have you ever seen like one of those buildings in an earthquake and
35:30
it just like starts shaking shaking and then it like up at the top there's just so much more momentum it's like that
35:36
yeah you just can't like you can't stop it yeah it's not stiff yeah the booties weren't stiff um it was a good fight
35:42
though competitive and very strategically altered shorts I have to
35:48
add to yes yes they cut those things as short as the seamstresses would allow it
35:53
those are the shorts that uh poier needs exactly he needs those shorts those
35:58
would the girl cut so that he doesn't fidget with those cuz there was no fidgeting the only time she had to
36:04
fidget with her shorts at the very end of her whole ass cheek came out oh Joslyn yeah Joslyn's a whole whole but
36:12
the cameraman they're good they're good they cut away right like this is a family show they
36:19
cut away and give the fighters their respect they're like no no we're not doing that cuz man my my butt cheek came out
36:27
and my fight but it was not nearly as aggressive well you have you have a
36:32
polite butt cheek I got little little straw we cakes and especially when I fight their little
36:39
straw weight cakes but Jocelyn I don't think any weight comes off of her butt when she cuts like that thing it stays
36:46
sturdy um but I thought it was cute that they tried to that they really squashed it like super super squashed it and it
36:53
made me think CU I'd be really surprised if the USC allowed the coach um who was
37:00
the aggressor in the corner for her fight for this one so it made me think like yeah that's true the coach was like
37:07
a real dick and they got him out of there um yeah it sound like she changed
37:14
gems yeah is what it sounded like without knowing like all the information I think it's the same gemm but I think
37:20
whoever that was that extra person that was in her corner I don't think he's there anymore but yeah I think it's
37:25
still like that that Florida Gem theed people um but yeah I thought it was
37:31
really cute that they she was on her knees begging for forgiveness like totally squashed Jocelyn got down with
37:38
her and I thought that was really cute I did too I thought that was a really nice moment because the the commentary team
37:44
were talking about it too like oh I don't think if this um I don't think or I don't know if this will be squashed
37:50
after this but I mean there is something to like you know going toe to- toe for five rounds yeah and just exhausting
37:56
yourself and getting all of that emotion energy out and then being able to like you know shake hands afterwards yeah
38:03
they they squashed it halfway through the fight yeah yeah I think somebody missed on so she like already hit her
38:09
with a spinning back fist but then she missed on the second one and Jon was like they're like that was
38:16
cool that's always nice and I I've got to respect and appreciate the the humility of you know e getting down on
38:23
her knees and just you know yeah showing some vulnerability so that was really nice to see and then getting up and
38:29
trying to make her twerk with her she's like come on girl you you got the moves
38:35
I'm the I'm going to jump start your off too here you go like you need to boost your credit so
38:41
we can both be famous we can collab yeah oh my God can you imagine no no they
38:48
would take all the money from everyone oh don't do it Joseline it's just not fair it's not
38:54
fair it's not fair everybody was blessed with those genetics man we got to work on good
39:01
camera angles and filters and all that stuff dude you know what I do with that ass poor Adam do you know what I would
39:08
do with that ass if you were my training partner dude it would be insane so many
39:14
Bongos would be played every opportunity I got oh man
39:20
yeah yeah as much as you hit my little one now if I had that booty it would have handprints on it from just every
39:29
day um but yeah I was that was a really um nice moment there I was happy that
39:35
they squashed it and they kind of you know held it down for the girls for that card um but I think a lot of people were
39:43
saying that the pay-per-view was pretty boring you know and I think the prelims
39:50
were were more exciting than most of the fights on the pay-per-view but um you
39:56
had Kevin Holland who had that big armar break and then you had the main event so
40:03
I thought those two held it down for the pay-per-view definitely I mean Kevin Holland is always you know fun to watch
40:10
even you know you can always count on him to like pick up a LOL on a fight card yeah he's like all right I'm I'm
40:17
gonna make it exciting he didn't really get dropped he was just trying to you know get the fans off their feet totally
40:24
yeah yeah that punched in the land he was just throwing that little little moment so he could set up his arm bar
40:30
exactly that was so crazy though like that kid all right we we watch tape on a guy and we knew that he just comes in
40:37
with power he's just like crazy aggressive kind of sloppy but as we were saying like with is on Mev if you come
40:44
in with just that confidence then it's hard to get out of the way of stuff like things get through you're thrown with uh
40:51
what is it Reckless abandonment mhm and uh overhands get through big hooks get
40:56
through and that's what got through on Holland he was kind of backing up trying to you know get his Pace going and then
41:03
you know just dropped him but what he doesn't have that Islam makv has is good
41:08
uh submission defense oh that he jumped right into that triangle and then he
41:14
stay like he could have been out but he got greedy he got greedy he wanted to land another strike and what is arm is
41:21
in between the guy's legs he you know what it's just like this you know spatial body awareness he just forgot
41:28
where his [ __ ] was for a minute and it cost him yeah cuz it looked like his elbow was out right like his elbow was
41:34
like just past the groin area which is where you can start relaxing and just being like okay I'm out but you can't
41:40
fully relax well as he just found out you can get you can easily pull that back in yes suction crotch as uh J Flo
41:48
likes to call it we know a lot of girls with some good
41:54
suction and crotch you know what I mean but it's a grappling term
42:00
it's it's when you start to lose the arm but then your hips just kind of suck it
42:05
back in and that's what uh Kevin Holland did really well he has some good suction crotch and then once he flipped them
42:12
over dude that guy did not want to tap no he didn't and I like I understand why
42:18
because he felt like he was in a dominant position he felt like he had an edge he just dropped Holland yeah he
42:23
like I think he was just so like tunnel and and just really focused on on the
42:31
fact that he could win CU he just saw his his path to victory yeah and this is a huge name to do it against um he's had
42:37
success success with that in the past um a lot of his Knockouts were just like
42:42
really big and and nasty like that like TKO drop him get on top and finish but
42:49
yeah Holland's too slick man you got to be careful with those guys like we've we've uh seen it happen over and over
42:55
again you know and it's just one of those those things where once you get more experience at a high level then you
43:01
don't make those mistakes anymore but like he he made so many mistakes after dropping him like it was just like one
43:07
after the other after the other then he didn't tap now you're going to be out like six months like come on bro and it
43:12
was funny because Holland was telling him you could see him talking to him maybe he should have used those polish
43:23
words maybe if he had actually said that to him he would have like be out of it he might have he might have what you say
43:30
to me start punching him with his broken arm yeah that was I I like that though
43:37
because Kevin is he's he's such a pro he he knows what it is he knew what was
43:42
going on and he really did not want to like take this guy out of the game for that long he didn't want to send him to
43:48
the hospital yeah he's like hey I got it I got it and that shows a lot of control
43:54
too because some some people can hesitate on the armar and be talking and messing
44:00
around and then the guy gets free you know so that that just shows how good he is on the ground as well yeah or you
44:07
have somebody like um like a Tonio or a Babaloo who holds on to it just a little
44:12
bit too long and maliciously yes and like really tries to hurt you and and
44:18
you know end your career who's that guy uh Polaris yeah yeah is that one of the people you mentioned yeah H that guy I
44:25
don't know if I said his name right but I thought babalo uh no no um paah Harris
44:31
his nickname was I thought it was Tinky or or something like that yeah no you're probably right I I used to um I only
44:38
knew him by Paul Harris that's what I thought I thought that was name Paul
44:45
Harris it was a Brazilian name I wasn't hip to yet um yeah that guy would just
44:51
RI things and and that's what got him kicked out of the UFC same with Babaloo yeah it's like people are tapping refs
44:58
are trying to break them and he's still on the ACL just trying to rip it apart it's like come on bro it's not a it's
45:05
not a rotisserie chicken it's a human being with dreams and aspirations quit
45:10
it you won um but yeah I was really impressed with huling with that one that was that was a good way to just like nip
45:17
it in the butt get that get that win in go celebrate hang out with
45:22
Trump sorry girl you got to do what you got to do get that bag can't even be mad at this
45:29
point can't even be mad um I thought it was really cool uh porier having that
45:35
speech at the end though you know Islam was like oh I want to fight up and then they went to porier afterwards and he
45:42
had this really beautiful speech where he was just thanking all the women in his life yeah I thought that was really
45:47
sweet and his poor daughter was crying and I I don't know I mean I'm not I'm
45:53
not a mom but I definitely would not want my [ __ ] kids that my fight well I think it because it was his last one
46:00
he wanted her to come because she had never been before ah so it's like okay this is my last fight like I want you to
46:07
come and I want you to see me go through this and if anything it's a learning experience like as a kid is good to
46:13
learn that hey it's okay to fail it's okay whatever you know you're going to have your support group behind you
46:19
whether you win or lose and obviously it's a more fun night when you win but
46:25
yeah I just feel like it can be like I mean you know again not a mother um but
46:30
I just feel like sometimes it could just be so traumatic you know like Could That
46:36
Could That moment like even with all of like the talks and the this and the that and like the the lessons like could
46:42
something like that like permanently scar a kid yeah I don't know I don't know man I I feel like I would be okay
46:48
with it but like like as a kid because I could think back to all the moment or some of the
46:56
moments that kind of ring in my head as like oh this is probably something that happened a little too young but at the
47:02
same time it's like dude what are people in other countries going through and
47:07
early in their life where they just have to like overcome adversity and it's like yeah you're exposing your kid to a
47:13
little adversity by watching your dad lose a fight but at the same time you guys are financially set you know he's
47:20
an entrepreneur uh this isn't something that he has to do anymore and you get to learn life lessons from that you know
47:27
how to overcome how to respectfully bow out you know like how to address your opponent after losing something like a
47:34
bit that's a really big deal to you so I feel like as much as that can be scarring eventually she's going to see
47:41
the fights you know and I think if anything she learns or she can take
47:46
positives away from it as opposed to the negatives because there's always going to be a negative yeah but uh but that's
47:52
that's where I feel like he was coming from and I feel like I'd be kind of on the same page to um but I'm not a mother either and uh
48:02
speaking of not being mothers someone who I guess follows me on uh Playstation
48:10
gave me [ __ ] for playing Spider-Man during the porier fight and I just want
48:15
to let you know that that wasn't me that was my friend's kids so they want to interrupt us while we were watching
48:20
fights mind your business mind your damn business come on I was like I was like what's your PSN so I can block you
48:28
get the [ __ ] out of here [ __ ] you but um no I thought it was I thought
48:34
it was really cool that PO did that speech you know talking about his uh Grandma who passed and his wife and his
48:41
mother and um and his daughter and then I was like I wonder what uh I wonder if
48:47
Trump's even listening to this he always has like this this look
48:52
on his face like he's not really like like in you know like H I'd like to
48:59
thank my daughter too I'd love to date her i' also like to thank all the women
49:05
whose [ __ ] I grabbed oh my God and stormmy for her
49:12
discretion thank you to all the women in my life
49:18
yeah okay I too thank women
49:26
um I thought uh I thought it was uh funny that he went up to or khabib went
49:32
up to Trump too I wonder what they were talking about probably making a secret meeting between uh him and and his guys
49:40
yeah Putin his boy Putin yeah Putin Gonna Come A I have a message for you brother yes more Eagles will fly during
49:49
the election I was thinking um that guy who scored the fight for coate that was
49:54
probably Joe Biden we figured out it was Dave trelli but that was my first
50:01
thought like come on bro he clearly not all there you're being too
50:06
obvious um yeah the the Randy Brown fight was uh was riddled with
50:13
controversy to I am so upset about that [ __ ] fight don't started Jessica don't even get me started because that
50:20
was the tiebreaker for our pics so if you guys didn't watch our pic video
50:27
we pretty much had the same picks we both stupidly picked porier um because
50:33
our hearts wanted him to win I feel like he had a better chance than the odds for saying um oh me too so we both picked
50:39
porier we picked Almeida we picked um who else what were the other two uh
50:44
Strickland Strickland and Holland and Holland but then we didn't agree on the
50:51
Randy Brown dos Santos dos Santos fight so I picked Randy Brown and just picked
50:57
do Santos he would have won had it not be from the ref letting him get I poked
51:05
four times and not letting him recover if you think that did not change the trajectory of the fight you are
51:11
tripping and I want it to be um brought up to the board and I want it to be
51:18
appealed and I want to rematch well if you saw our Pig video you would see that
51:26
I'm so [ __ ] upset the Lo the loser of our bet will have to drink a beer
51:34
Rito delicious thing that we made up just for moments like these for people
51:40
who lost bets so I'll tell you what if they
51:45
overturn that decision then I will drink a burrito to commemorate that
51:52
but as it is on paper Randy Brown took it away he won two out of three rounds
51:58
um but that was really [ __ ] up like they he got eye poked [ __ ] that ref I've been screaming about the gloves too so I
52:05
think this is a perfect storm of new Gloves Plus the ref just not knowing how
52:11
to ref a situation but dude what was he thinking he separated them there was it
52:17
was one of those like kind of raking yeah like the post where someone comes
52:22
forward and you're like get away and then you just kind of rake the eyeball
52:28
so horribly um and he separated the fight but then he made them start
52:33
fighting again and then the clock started because it was a blatant eye poke whether it was you know I'm not
52:38
saying it was intentional and like malicious but it happened it was visible yeah and he was clearly having trouble
52:45
and then they separated him and then all of a sudden he just restarted he was like yeah you're fine go we're like whoa
52:51
whoa whoa and then it happened again it happened again like less than a minute later yes and he was like it didn't
52:57
happen I like it did oh my God it did and if you think that that does not change the trajectory of a fight you're
53:05
like you're tripping no it definitely it definitely did something I'll give you that but I did think that Randy Brown
53:11
fought a great game he yeah in that second round I thought it was over I was like [ __ ] the choke was in type it was
53:19
like done that to his face like you know like that's how you know it's like really nasty on the job but he didn't
53:25
have enough squeeze like that dastani squeeze that people do when they get that over the jaw uh tap he didn't have
53:33
enough squeeze to get in there um so Randy Brown was able to get out reverse it and then third round it was all him
53:39
so I thought his teeth hurt today though oh yeah that freaking hurts like um remember when Liz fought uh Ronda Rousey
53:47
yeah she had theks yeah that was a crazy she Rhonda just gutted through that
53:53
which is why I always respect Rhonda because she did like like got through a lot of stuff she she like you know had
53:59
that whole Judo upcoming which I can only imagine how rough being a Juda for
54:05
your entire life can be on your body it hurts oh your knees and everything so I
54:11
I always give R credit for what she was able to accomplish and she so many people would have tapped to that yeah
54:17
like so many people like that thing looked nasty um so uh yeah do anos
54:23
almost had something similar Randy Brown's chin was just a little too sneaky he's able to get out reverse it
54:28
and yeah do his own damage and I like how he finished the third round too like
54:33
uh do Santos was able to hop on top of him as like one final call but he was a little too high and brown was just like
54:40
b b b like punching him from here when um in the second round when do Santos
54:46
was like had his best round he was making really good decisions like there were moments where he could have fallen
54:52
off but he was hopping to the side he was getting the front headlock like he was doing really good things like he
54:59
just had really good awareness of where he was in the round it's just you know he was trying to make something happen
55:05
in those last 30 seconds that would you know stick out to the judges to hopefully steal it or you know sink in
55:11
something so he he you know didn't really pay attention to the hooks he was just trying to go for the kill which you
55:17
know is what he had to do yeah especially in that last moment um I'm
55:23
trying to figure out that uh that ref name oh here it is Jasper Oliver Jasper
55:31
papy Chulo Oliver that's the name of the ref that decided it wasn't that bad of
55:37
an eye poke you can continue to fight congratulations you are now my arch
55:43
nemesis oh I hope I don't catch you anywhere near justice fight Jasper you're GNA get in the
55:51
neck oh I will not forget such betrayal M um were there any
55:57
other fights on the prelims that you want to talk about or like maybe the
56:03
fight that got kicked to the prelims for some reason that was weird too I don't
56:08
understand that one why did they do that I don't know so in hindsight like okay
56:14
we we also were guilty of thinking this might be a boring fight because Romanov
56:21
goes to decision sometimes and when he goes to decision is boring Jon I may
56:26
same deal when he goes to decision is boring didn't expect either of them to
56:31
get finished that quickly yeah because you know they're they're aggressors they're like really good they're
56:37
defensive like I expected them to just be wrestling for position like one of those uh you know elephant seal
56:47
fights belly fighting Su F like nobody ever wins they just gas out until they
56:52
get tired and then they just like it can go on for two days
56:57
the first one to get tired loses um yeah and so that fight was
57:04
really impressive by um Jona but for some reason it got kicked to the prelims
57:10
and they put on Nico price versus um what's the kid U morono uhhuh which was
57:17
a morono move if you ask me good
57:22
one um yeah what did you think about that like well I didn't realize that um morona was stepping in on short such
57:29
short notice oh he was originally supposed to fight Jeremiah Wells I believe and I thought that was going to
57:35
be a super exciting fight okay and I mean hats off to morono like he came in
57:40
you know clearly not in fight shape no
57:46
and he had he had a rough night but he he was a gamer and he stayed in there and he was in the fight the whole time
57:51
he was he was doing his best but you could just tell like he just didn't have enough to put like any kind of finishes
57:58
or stamps on on the rounds or what are you smirking at oh nothing I just pulled out my little drink that oh really what
58:06
is happening like don't don't judge me no judgment here I got me a little uh
58:12
basil halfz oh nice basil half and soda so nice yeah it's good thanks thanks for
58:19
that no proud um and I mean niik price is a handful so if you come in out of shape
58:25
on w't notice that's that's a rough night and I didn't realize it was a rematch yeah me neither yeah I did not
58:31
realize that but they fought like almost a decade ago dang okay who won the first
58:36
one Nico okay yeah so I put a stamp on it won't happen again yeah Nico Nico had
58:43
been on a little bit of a skid so this was you know a much needed win for him yeah who was his last loss it was
58:49
against um um what's the name that retired right just I was kind of he kind
58:55
of took one for the team for that one like I know he didn't lose on purpose but like why can't I see it was um oh
59:05
hold on is it so hard to get all this
59:11
[Music] information I'm going to be so mad when uh the the fight gets pulled up but uh
59:18
Pat sabatini Uh Robbie la Lawler that was his last loss or no not his last
59:27
l oh no no no he grappled sorry that was um yeah Robbie Lawler was his last loss
59:33
and then before that it was Phil row who also fought last night yeah Phil R looked really good too um but he did not
59:42
win I was like oh yeah wait did go his way he looked good in the first round um
59:49
but yeah he he was the dance partner of Robbie Lawler's insane snoff like he
59:56
just got knocked out first round Robbie Lawler got to do this like Heroes like
1:00:03
uh send off for his last fight in the UFC and um it was pretty epic but the
1:00:10
whole time I was just like man it must suck to be Nico price right now I know you know like everyone's so happy for
1:00:16
Rob Robbie and it was a fight where you didn't really know what was going to happen um Nico price is still very much
1:00:23
a competitor and very much like you know very uh what do you call it skilled
1:00:29
Fighter um can get Knockouts in the weirdest ways imaginable he knocked out
1:00:35
Randy Brown with something weird I think it was like a hammer fist he was on like he was like bottom half guard Hammer
1:00:41
fisting it was crazy yeah it didn't make any sense but he's like that's that's you know his his superpower yeah that's
1:00:48
nicoo Price's superpower is that he can just like make it weird and dangerous
1:00:53
anywhere and that's what when I was watching ing the Morano fight I was like man he's just going to hit like a a one
1:01:01
to seven Hammer Fist and get right through his guard and drop him cold like that's what I was imagining happening
1:01:08
unfortunately we just saw how tired morono was and Nico price was able to do his thing against him um but yeah I I
1:01:15
think it would have made more sense to have the Jon ala fight on the pay-per-view just because he was almost
1:01:22
a title Contender he was right there the lost to Curtis blades like that set him
1:01:29
back but it shouldn't have set him back that much Curtis BL this kind of like counters that so I feel like he's right
1:01:34
back up there now yeah for sure but I'm I'm kind of surprised that they put him so low on the card me too and there was
1:01:40
another Almeida after him so I'm I was also thinking maybe they mixed up the alas like whoever was writing down the
1:01:49
writing down the the order of the fights they were like yeah put Al made first and then ala second on the prelims and
1:01:56
then they just their wires were crossed that um that Almeida versus CA fight was
1:02:02
the other weird scoring oh what was the score I don't remember I think I was doing
1:02:09
stuff let me pull it up I was wrangling the kids during that one aunti an
1:02:15
turning on Spider-Man not playing it calm the [ __ ]
1:02:21
down my business seriously godamn you anyways
1:02:27
um Cesar Almeida versus Roman kopilov and then um so it was kind of a weird
1:02:34
scoring but somebody I think Chris Lee gave him the
1:02:40
second and the third and I think only one other judge gave him the second so
1:02:45
that was a weird one because um and and people were really and Chrisley is another one on my list he's really
1:02:52
inconsistent he that's why I'm saying I think people I think these judges a lot
1:02:57
of times they'll go like good judging good judging good judging good judging
1:03:03
hey let's make some money hey let's grease our pockets a little bit we only get paid like 50
1:03:09
bucks a night like let's let's make some cash I get that it it's frustrating when
1:03:17
yeah there just needs to be some consistency he has hooked me up too not hooked me up like I don't feel like oh did you did you give you a little
1:03:23
Kickback I don't think I take you out to dinner after wor with his 50 here you go
1:03:28
he just threw it at me as I walked out the cage here you go sweetheart buy yourself something
1:03:33
nice just imagine he is like a smoker voice all the casinos you know all the
1:03:41
casino shows um no but I I know he's been on my good side with decisions too
1:03:47
um but yeah it's just inconsistent there's been a lot of calls where they say who scored what and I'm like [ __ ]
1:03:57
chrisly and now Dave trelli I wasn't super aware of him but now you are now I am yeah [ __ ] me on
1:04:05
gelia fight but uh people were really people
1:04:12
were frustrated about this fight because kopyov just like he kept going for takedowns that Almeida could not stop
1:04:18
yeah and he was just like really like grally down on the bottom he really
1:04:23
wasn't Landing strikes he was just like holding controlling and Almeida was kind of waiting to get let up yeah and you
1:04:30
know he was closing his guard he just he was making really poor decisions while he was down there too mhm uh he didn't
1:04:36
really need to work on his defense down there but he wasn't trying to get up he his guard was locked he wasn't moving
1:04:43
his hips really yeah it was just he was hanging out yeah he wasn't going for
1:04:48
things he wasn't setting up submission nothing he just wanted to get back up and he was doing damage when he was up
1:04:53
on top and he was he was forcing kov to like go so hard for those takedowns yeah
1:04:59
and it was it was one of those like okay so ala probably had more damage with his
1:05:05
strikes because he was he was throwing like you know he was sharp throwing hard but kopov like he just his his takedowns
1:05:12
couldn't be stopped yeah so what did it more what was more impressive yeah was
1:05:18
it the the small amount of strikes that were you know damaging power punches or
1:05:24
all of the control time and um you know when it comes down to that type of Fight You can't really be
1:05:31
too mad at what the judges end up seeing because it's such a gray area like we
1:05:38
haven't been consistently defining this is what works as opposed to this because
1:05:45
even though kopov wasn't really Landing much on the ground he was still probably Landing more on the ground than uh Alida
1:05:53
landed on the feet it was was that but it was more volume wise so it's
1:06:00
was like okay if they're Landing more volume on the ground but this guy did
1:06:06
the biggest blows on the feet and then there's all this control time what are we going to score so like that it it's
1:06:12
it really is almeida's fault for losing that fight um because he didn't try to
1:06:17
get up yeah and I think it was herb that was the referee and he was just like
1:06:24
that's not going to do it you know every time uh Almeida did like double overs on
1:06:29
kop aov's arms and just kind of hung out and waited her was just like you got to
1:06:35
get yourself up buddy you're the one stalling not him there's two men in this fight not three
1:06:41
yeah no it is pretty funny seeing how that evolves too because a lot of times in the past you'd get stood up there
1:06:48
yeah yeah I think eventually there was a standup in that fight in the third I
1:06:53
think yeah eventually but but like you've you've got to work to get up you
1:06:58
cannot rely on the judges to separate you because you're doing a good job of stalling MH yeah and that was like my
1:07:06
game plan for a long time like when I first started getting taken down all the
1:07:11
time I was like maybe I'll just hold him until I get St up and uh it used to work back in the day but I think the refs got
1:07:19
wise to it and realize it's not really fair for the fighter on top who work to
1:07:25
get to that position if the fighter on bottom is just going to stall like if the fighter on top isn't the one
1:07:30
stalling then they should be allowed to stay in that position there was um uh there was one
1:07:37
thing I wanted to talk about so it was um in the Joselyn Eileen fight
1:07:44
oh yeah and it was I think it was the second round and Joselyn I believe was
1:07:50
winning that round with like the the control time um with everything but that
1:07:56
was the round that Eileen uh did a spinning back Fist and dropped it so does so the question is is does that one
1:08:05
moment outweigh all of the body of working around right and um let me see
1:08:11
what the score was for that she got 327 on one judge so I think one judge gave
1:08:17
her that round and the other two were 29 28 um and yeah I I feel like a shouldn't
1:08:24
especially if she like I think if there was if it was equal
1:08:29
striking then you can consider the bigger moments of each fighter and if
1:08:36
you're getting controlled the whole time but you had like a really big moment where you dropped them and you really
1:08:41
just stole the round then that's different but she landed one punch it was that spinning back fist it it was a
1:08:49
big reaction from Joselyn but that was the only moment that she lost that round mhm and uh a similar thing happened to
1:08:56
me in the lmos fight where in the first round there was a big moment I get hit with the push kick I I fell down but
1:09:03
then immediately after grappled on top was working for the submission got up
1:09:08
Landing big blows the entire rest of the round and they scored the first round
1:09:14
for Lemos so you kind of have to think okay who's doing more MMA who is winning
1:09:21
this whole exchange what is going to happen um you know in the long run and if Jocelyn was able
1:09:28
to get on top of her and still impose herself after that big moment then you
1:09:34
can't just take one moment and give the person around because of that because there wasn't really much striking landed
1:09:39
on uh Perez's account in that second round aside from that right yeah so no
1:09:46
she was on the ground she was like defensive mode for most of that and when I heard like um the I think it was
1:09:54
specifically I think it was probably Joe Rogan he was like oh well she just won that round I was like no no no like if
1:09:59
you're like how close do you think that round was said that yeah there was so much control time and I feel like that
1:10:05
just outweighs like that one one strike yeah it's hard and it's um if people are
1:10:12
are leaning more towards damage it's like well I don't want to say it's not fair
1:10:19
but I just don't it doesn't quite compute because MMA is a sport and there's a lot of technical aspects in
1:10:25
strategies to it and so if if one strike outweighs all of that all the volume all
1:10:31
this all that like it it just doesn't it doesn't make sense to me yeah um when
1:10:37
you think about uh how they how they think about concussions and basically
1:10:43
every punch that you take is giving you a little micro concussion um whether you
1:10:48
get dropped by it or not or or not that's a different story so if you want
1:10:54
to say like 10 Micro concussions equal one drop or something like that if we
1:11:01
could compute it in that way and Edwards landed maybe 20 or 30 micro concussions
1:11:08
and then uh Perez only landed one actual droppage that's like the equivalent of
1:11:14
10 Micro concussions and you know what I mean like if if we could like get super nerdy and Technical like that then that
1:11:21
would make more sense if you're going to say okay their volume doesn't equal their one moment and if she's Landing
1:11:30
all these punches that's accumulating like she didn't come out of there unscathed she got hit in that round she
1:11:36
was accumulating damage you can't take uh an accumulation of damage and control
1:11:42
and outweigh it over one moment mhm but I do think the right person won
1:11:47
obviously it just sucks to try to guess where people's mindset is every time you
1:11:53
get out there and fight like you there's so much excuse me there's it's
1:11:59
it's almost like you you expect judging to get better in MMA but it's either stayed the same or gotten worse I think
1:12:06
everything else in MMA is is getting better it's evolving but yes that one aspect there is it's a key aspect it's a
1:12:13
very important piece to the puzzle and there needs to be a lot of understanding and transparency in it and there is none
1:12:19
yeah and they were talking on the um on the uh uh commentary about open scoring
1:12:24
too and how that would bring a lot more transparency to it um I would love that
1:12:30
I think it would at least get people wise to okay either this is what judges
1:12:35
are looking for or this is what this specific Judge is looking for um we we mentioned Eric Nicki earlier he looks at
1:12:44
who's the judge when his Fighters are fighting and he tries to play to their interests like if he knows this guy
1:12:50
likes volume more he knows this guy likes control time more he knows you know this person doesn't score leg kicks
1:12:56
you know like that like [ __ ] there are Judges like that and so if anything
1:13:01
having that uh open scoring would keep everyone kind of into the know of what
1:13:06
someone's going to lean towards like all right that did not score for us this round we need to do this yeah exactly it
1:13:13
would be a great thing to be able to adapt to that on the Fly and it should
1:13:19
have a picture of the judge's face next to their score per round and that would
1:13:24
make them them up their level and not be a [ __ ] give me their Twitter their Instagram and their Facebook make them
1:13:31
have active socials show me where they live where they drink coffee like I mean
1:13:37
honestly with some of the sites we'd probably find out where everyone lives oh yeah definitely let's do it but we
1:13:43
need that uh transparency and I I think it'll up the level of uh the judges
1:13:48
because no one wants to be made fun of no one wants to have their name in people's mouths when it comes to like
1:13:53
that guy [ __ ] up that guy shouldn't be working here and Dana has started being more vocal about situations like that
1:14:00
like I think he spoke out about Dave trelli and was like he shouldn't be shouldn't be judging fights anymore
1:14:05
should be Jud pissed about the stricklin Costa fight yeah yeah and you know that's good the more we have uh people's
1:14:13
names next to what they did and when it looks like they really [ __ ] up the more that we're going to have people in
1:14:19
there who are trying not to be bad at their job right now it doesn't seem like there's any con qu there there are no
1:14:26
consequences so why would they change yeah exactly you know it's just like you if um who did Holland
1:14:36
fighten if he had won if he had won that fight if he you know had gotten out of
1:14:43
that armar he never would have learned that like hey I need to make these adjustments it's just like don't punch someone when when their legs are around
1:14:50
arm is in their crutch yeah don't punch someone there just defend it but you
1:14:55
know luckily there's a really good lesson in that don't don't do that that doesn't work yeah exactly that's danger
1:15:02
yeah we need these judges to get the same wakeup call and Dana talking [ __ ] about you is
1:15:08
a wakeup call so hope hopefully that helps um but yeah I think um across the
1:15:15
board everyone's kind of confused about what judges fights and what doesn't and
1:15:21
you know the more people say things that aren't true the more people are going to
1:15:26
be more confused sure you know um the Basel halfz versus Mickey G Fight was
1:15:32
another one where people are just like huh yeah that was a controversial one
1:15:37
but how good did Mickey G look he looks great I thought it was gonna get smashed
1:15:43
you know what you just I was like it's gonna be a tough comeback it was it was
1:15:49
a really really tough comeback and and he delivered he really Rose to the occasion and it's always nice um
1:15:55
especially with somebody who has taken so many long layoffs for to to see that it's it's possible to get out in there
1:16:02
and like you know kind of not miss a beat it it's very encouraging yeah no it
1:16:08
was great um baso halfz um Basel is bosel right or is it it's
1:16:16
not basil listen I'm Italian it sounds it sounds like one of my favorite herbs
1:16:23
we we got called out by Basel himself I'm sorry after a little video
1:16:30
he's like basil come on but delicious it was for the joke we needed the basil
1:16:36
basil Hayden reference to hit it wouldn't have hit if we pronounced your name right so listen I [ __ ] up
1:16:43
everybody's name and honestly people can't even say my last name right oh yeah what is it Penny pen
1:16:51
Penny they say penny they say penny P or or paa or Pena or P I get that a lot or
1:16:59
p p yeah that's Joe Rogan's version yeah yeah Jessica P like get her right you're she's a
1:17:07
Grappler you're supposed to be on her side no you don't give a [ __ ] yeah um uh Bassel halfz he had that
1:17:16
crazy fight with uh who was it Jack Dela uh Del Mandela yeah he had that crazy fight with him and uh people were like
1:17:23
oh okay well he that guy went on to Greatness and he came in short notice and was able to put
1:17:30
on that crazy fight with him so Mickey Gul coming in and fighting this guy was
1:17:36
kind of a tall order after such a long layoff after what he's looked like in the past too like he seemed to have
1:17:42
trouble with Strikers people who were like good in the pocket and stuff it's that body type too as somebody with a
1:17:48
long linky body type it's the it's the like wacky wavy inflatable to like wacky
1:17:53
wavy Jiu-Jitsu guy yeah it's it's like there there are tough matchups for for
1:17:59
everyone and for body types and he's a noodle and he's a noodle I too am a
1:18:05
noodle night I understand and like so when you fight somebody with a lower Center gravity who's more like short
1:18:12
stocky explosive and dense and dense it it poses its its own problem you have to
1:18:18
fight somebody very specific way you you really do just like you know niss is talking about looking at the the Jud to
1:18:25
see what they like like you have to look at the body types for sure you know it's um there's so many little like nuances
1:18:32
and and strategies that you have to pull out like on on all of these things yeah and uh that's one of them it's really
1:18:38
hard for a long linky person to fight somebody with that body type yeah with the pressure with like you know the the
1:18:45
in Pocket boxing and stuff but Micki G's boxing was like showing up it's like as
1:18:51
soon as he got comfortable in there as soon as he started landing on HZ he really started Landing even more it was
1:18:59
crazy no I was in a because I know he likes to Grapple I know he likes to get it to the ground but he looked really
1:19:06
comfortable on his feet and he was Landing power like his his shots were making more of a we giving more of a
1:19:12
reaction than H's big shots and I was just super impressed with that come back
1:19:18
I I feel like even with a loss cuz I wasn't sure who won and I think people are mostly mad about the 3027 when comes
1:19:24
to the judges um I wasn't sure who won but I thought like it could have been two to either guy at the end of it and
1:19:32
one dummy made it 3027 but um I felt like it was a really close fight and uh
1:19:40
it was it was pretty epic man like I I was also sad that they didn't get fight at night cuz yeah I feel like they could
1:19:46
have used the money a little more yeah but it is what it is yeah it
1:19:51
is what it is he also it was nice if in case since Dustin Po's last fight it was
1:19:57
nice to put that little stamp on it like this was the fight of the night and then Islam got a little extra
1:20:07
kickb you get two bonuses good job um but yeah that was
1:20:12
that was a really and pay-per-view points W must be nice must be so nice um
1:20:18
any other little fights you want to talk about before we hit our exclusive 15 uh
1:20:24
no let's just jump right on over all right let's good we'll see you guys on the flip side
