1:28
these guys that are undefeated in the
1:30
Ultimate Fighter House and now they're

1:51
filter she is she's gorgeous
1:53
I have a girl crush Oh hate to admit it

2:05
have to honorably mention the rebooked
2:08
fight between chiesa and pedis battle of
2:12
the Mama's boys
2:16
as a reboot for UFC 226 after that whole
2:20
weird bus shattering glass throwing a
2:24
dolly at the window incident if you want
2:26
the breakdown go look at other two straw
2:28
episode seven I think hopefully Casa
2:32
doesn't defend kicks the same way you
2:35
defense chokes by going Stefon claiming
2:38
you defendant after the ref stops of
2:41
fake every time no no run the tape back
2:46
in a heavyweight matchup not to mess we
2:49
have friends as nanano versus Derek
2:51
Lewis one punch black man versus one
2:54
punch black man who away I feel like
2:57
this is the Battle of who's not gonna
2:59
guess out first yes good battle of two
3:03
guys you wouldn't want to be caught in a
3:05
jail cell if I can say it cuz I'm black
3:10
can you okay battle of the bull versus
3:14
elephant seal oh yeah he does do that
3:17
doesn't mean yeah it's a battle of the
3:21
to create your characters where you got
3:23
rid of all those stats put up the
3:25
punching stat put up the strength and
3:27
hope for the best such a nerd whatever
3:30
game lace and luckily this fight is on
3:34
pay-per-view so it ends in about five to
3:36
thirty seconds being generous you don't
3:39
have to worry about all those
3:40
advertisements trying to fill in the
3:41
time capsule no no that's one race day
3:44
so we could get pizza ping-pong gusano
3:51
everypony bill to me honey this rug is
3:55
so damn I'm gonna get Dominick Cruz to
3:57
punch it clean buddy I mean all kidding
4:00
aside these men have insane knockout
4:03
power I'm Derrick Lewis Pence's Mangano
4:06
they they are lethal striking machines
4:09
not the best cardio you've ever seen
4:11
probably actually like the worst cardio
4:13
I've ever seen but I mean he'll either
4:16
here or there they grab the weights
4:19
they're not known for their endurance
4:20
however they are known for their one
4:22
punch knockout power which everybody
4:25
Tunes in to see and we're gonna see who
4:27
it's that button first yes who'd you
4:30
rather date tall dark and handsome but
4:33
kind of personality list or kind of
4:36
frumpy but really funny and he climbs on
4:40
the bed on top of you tonight like this
4:45
no no no we don't have a fight
4:50
prediction guys saying she doesn't want
4:53
to cooperate but we're around another
4:56
one this next fight breakdown is brought
5:01
to you by Ortega sauce America's number
5:06
one taco sauce thick and smooth just
5:09
like Derrick Lewis in the co-main event
5:12
we have featherweight champion max
5:14
Holloway versus Brian Ortega tea city
5:18
population died in his triangle or
5:22
guillotine why am i showing this in a
5:24
book and if I've taught you anything in
5:30
it stuck in this featherweight matchup
5:36
we have an interesting mix up between
5:39
the the new school versus the even newer
5:41
school we have yeah really this is the
5:45
matchup Brian Ortega has kind of been
5:47
catapulted up into a title shot by
5:50
taking out Cub Swanson crafty veteran he
5:53
finished him with a submission and
5:54
freaky edgar another guy who was always
5:57
just about on the brink of title
6:00
contention ended up putting him away the
6:02
first time in Frankie Anders career it
6:04
was a very impressive finish TKO
6:07
stoppage yeah and no one expected that
6:10
nobody yeah nobody I woulda lost a bet
6:14
speaking of its forget to that later um
6:17
yeah that that uppercut came out of
6:19
nowhere no one expected him to it
6:22
actually came out his back pocket yeah
6:24
he pulled it out
6:27
and [ __ ] nail them with it he's
6:30
really durable he'll take a lot of
6:32
damage but then he'll bring it back in
6:34
the last round he'll get a sub we're
6:36
gonna knock out and Max is just able to
6:39
pick people apart I mean like both of
6:41
his fights with Otto he's just very good
6:43
at reading people so I feel like this is
6:46
gonna be a really hard one for what
6:48
taking a comeback from even if he gets
6:50
that you know adversity that were used
6:52
to seeing him get max Holloway is
6:55
definitely you know really coming into
6:57
his own he's always been talented he's
6:59
always been crafty but you're seeing him
7:01
just get so far ahead of his opponents
7:04
he has great game planning he has great
7:06
footwork great at shifting switching
7:08
stances and and distance and um he's
7:12
just he's all around just become a
7:14
really amazing fighter and definitely a
7:17
top notch challenge for mr. coming up
7:20
into the big leagues Ortega and you know
7:23
if our blade Jeremy couldn't knock out
7:26
max Holloway I have a hard time
7:27
believing Ortega is going to totally
7:31
embrace and in the main event we have
7:34
steep a Miocic our heavyweight champion
7:37
versus Daniel Cormier DCR light
7:40
heavyweight champion yes Cormier is
7:43
going for that double belt he's gonna be
7:45
the first person ever in the UFC to hold
7:48
two championship belts that's pretty
7:50
exciting right no not the first oh wait
7:55
yeah there's another person right yeah
7:57
yeah yeah BJ thing yeah exactly so don't
8:00
know how I forgot about that yeah how
8:01
could your freedom wait no there was one
8:03
that was more recent a super-famous
8:06
held two bells are really sick accent
8:08
sick accent yeah everyone loves them
8:10
yeah
8:11
GSP yeah yeah anyway he'll be the third
8:15
the third person to hold two belts in
8:18
EFC
8:19
this is pretty monumental be a feather
8:22
in his cap this is this is a pretty cool
8:25
thing this is what I like to think of it
8:28
was like you know the there's superfight
8:30
of all super fights for the UFC I think
8:32
it's really amazing that they've gone
8:34
this route because you know you think
8:35
back in Pride and dream we have these
8:37
Grand Prix's we have all of these crazy
8:39
insane mad
8:40
chubs and the UFC is finally making it
8:42
happen yeah I wish that there were more
8:44
weight classes just so you can see it
8:46
happen more like that huge gap between
8:48
55 and 777 85 gonna had so many matchups
8:53
between weight classes there of course
8:56
Jessica's always a fan of the 105 being
8:59
added and I mean I wouldn't mind a 110
9:02
[ __ ] it this is a really exciting time I
9:05
think that this is an intriguing matchup
9:08
we have somebody DC who takes on you
9:12
know much larger heavier stronger more
9:14
powerful people and he kind of has his
9:16
way with them he has great wrestling
9:18
Olympic caliber wrestling however we
9:21
have steeping Miocic who is is a
9:24
powerhouse he's an athlete he's you know
9:26
no stranger to wrestling and I think
9:28
he's the more well-rounded out of the
9:29
two fighters yeah and extremely
9:31
underrated too he's the first
9:33
heavyweight champion to defend three
9:35
times in a row like no one's ever done
9:37
that and it doesn't seem like a lot but
9:39
sometimes you get knocked out and it
9:41
could be just like a glancing blow
9:42
because this guy's are so big so that's
9:45
super impressive to me the fact that
9:46
he's able to continue that streak and I
9:49
mean I kind of attribute that to his
9:52
athleticism I think he is one of those
9:54
heavyweights that that is like extremely
9:58
well-built for this weight class yes
10:00
he's athletic he has great cardio he has
10:02
great technique and not too much extra
10:05
fluff exactly are not too much muscle
10:08
that's like sucking up your oxygen and
10:10
making you just like die this isn't the
10:14
first time that core Mays fought at
10:16
heavyweight he did the Strikeforce Grand
10:19
Prix when he was a bit of a rookie and
10:22
he had his way with a lot of those guys
10:24
ended up winning that so yeah the only
10:27
reason he went down to light heavyweight
10:29
was because his friend Kane
10:31
was a heavyweight Cormier is really good
10:34
at that wrestling thing especially the
10:36
fireman's carry I mean he's a really
10:39
good wrestler but he also has some
10:41
underrated striking so I'm wondering if
10:43
Scooby's gonna be able to handle it
10:45
I think Stevie's gonna be able to
10:47
withstand the heat oh you know what they
10:50
say about firemen you come in hot and
10:52
they leave you away after Steve May when
10:56
she's gonna be like where the whole face
11:03
so yeah I'm really excited for this
11:05
fight
11:06
I have Steve a wedding but either way
11:09
I'm gonna be excited to watch and
11:11
excited to cheer for whoever takes the
11:13
