0:18
about something go on okay okay I think we're good I think
0:25
we're even all right hello hey we're back another episode of two St two thank
0:32
you for joining us it's good to be here another year I
0:39
know another year old Wier how was your hangover it's I mean
0:45
I'm drinking now so it wasn't that bad I've had worse this year
0:51
already so that's I guess that's saying something but uh yeah I had fun from
0:57
what I remember I had a great time oh my God yeah amazing I enticed people to
1:04
come to our uh live that we do on only fans
1:10
before uh before we shoot with the what I think is the last song of the night
1:16
I'm I'm hoping because I don't remember singing it but I was really excited to
1:22
sing uh Contagious by the isy brothers do you remember that song when it came out yeah yeah we went to karaoke and and
1:30
uh it was like this black on karaoke so I'm like oh they'll appreciate this like they know this song So this stupid song
1:38
contagious it's like the E Loop Brothers it was like the first the the prequel to the whole Trapped in the Closet series
1:44
that R Kelly did after well we aren't supposed to say his name but that guy did after um and it's so fun to sing
1:52
with like people who know the song so I was really excited about doing it on karaoke and I put it in I remember
1:58
putting it in but I did not know that I got the chance to sing it until I was looking through the videos the next
2:06
day I'm like oh we sang the
2:13
song I mean I knew the chorus I I did not know all of the words
2:20
which is very obvious by the footage so it's only I only have a small clip but did we do the whole like oh we did the
2:26
whole thing oh my God it was excruciating no so they loved us uh they
2:33
loved us but I tried to use it to get people into the live and I think it
2:38
might have backfired like she might still be drunk and
2:43
singing oh my goodness oh it was a great time it was fun it was a lot of fun um
2:50
karaoke is so fun for some reason I think cuz I have a profession that doesn't require
2:56
singing It's like a total other side of the entertainment world that I'd never
3:03
be capable of doing I have absolutely no business singing I love it it's so fun
3:10
it's so fun you say that but you killed Don't Stop Believing that's my song that
3:15
was a good and one thing as a fighter if you're ever with a fighter at karaoke
3:22
put their walkout song in the list they will love you they will sing the words
3:29
in the field yes it's a good song it's so good um so yeah I had a great birthday I got a cool birthday present
3:36
too today from Miss Jessica well you have to be careful he's fragile he's
3:42
old very old I got a new
3:47
friend a new friend for the wall um I'm not sure what her name is
3:53
yet maybe you guys can help me name her but she looks great with the voodoo doll
3:58
and Jessica knows me really well so I'm I'm really excited about this little shrunken head this is awesome thank you
4:05
so much you're so welcome so a lot of stuff has been
4:10
happening um with the fights getting started up again and uh we finally had a
4:17
fight night after a good month of no fights so uh yeah did you get to watch
4:22
them last night I had to kind of catch up on them today but they're pretty good I I didn't watch all of them um
4:30
really really closely except for like the I watched the main right the co-main of course um and then I watched um a
4:38
couple people on the undercard because I had um I had a friend um Preston Parsons who I was on the twoe military tour with
4:45
that fight was crazy I was that was one of the fights that we were watching live
4:51
because we were running around running errands and we're like oh the fights are on so we were able to pull that out
4:57
while we were uh eating and that fight was so insane it scared me in the first
5:03
round a little bit yeah it was really evenly matched yeah it was good and that guy um uh Parson's opponent took it on
5:10
short notice he was smells Burger it's such a funny one I was so distracted by
5:16
his mullet in the pre- fights and then he walked out with it I was like how could you do that like that looked like
5:22
a lot of time and effort to put into it and you just you just Cho that thing off I know just gone and he lost so
5:29
obviously it was a Samson effect on him I know never Cut the Mullet never Cut
5:34
the Mullet you could probably do a VIN diagram of Fighters that have a mullet
5:39
when they come to the UFC and their uh success rate when they cut it like what
5:44
happened to Cita there you go no hair anymore I mean it was I mean it needed it it needed it
5:52
it needed to happen I was really happy that it happened but but yes it happens Dodson have had the opposite effect true
6:00
he is fighting really well now on bkfc and he cut that thing off so I was
6:05
really happy about that thank goodness oh man yeah it um it was a really good
6:10
fight Parson did really well um I couldn't help but see see his um like
6:16
age and experience in that fight there's you know certain things it was just a really exciting back and forth fight
6:23
everyone was jocking for position and um I can't wait to see him grow and develop as a fighter and just kind of like you
6:28
know Titan certain things up it was very exciting very fun to watch it was he was just in the moment the whole time and
6:35
that guy was a gamer like like like you said the first round was a little scary if you're going for Parsons um I thought
6:41
it was like a cool back and forth battle and then towards maybe the beginning
6:47
maybe the middle of the second round you could see that he had no momentum anymore uh smells bger was feeling the
6:54
either the lack of camp or just the fact that the guy was pulling ahead making better adjustments
7:00
um and it was a fun one to watch as a fighter who's still learning because it's cool to see like what's going on
7:07
what what what uh options they take while they're in there and he did a great job of mixing up the Striking and
7:14
the takedowns and the submission attempts and it looked like smells bger was just grabbing for those desperation
7:20
Subs at the end like he he just got out got outworked a lot towards the end of
7:26
that fight but it was it was a really great fight like I was I was on the edge of my seat I didn't know either of
7:33
them that was cool it's uh it's nice to uh be emotionally invested in a fight
7:39
and then had them win so it it was very exciting sucks the other way around it does it does kind of kind of ruins your
7:46
day a little bit it does you'll be bummed all day you'll be having a good time and then you'll think about it like
7:51
oh my friend I [Music] know oh but they'll all live to fight
7:59
another another day um one fight that I was really excited about watching on the prelims too was uh the Marcus McGee
8:06
fight he was fighting Gaston I didn't know his name was balanos because he doesn't have the
8:12
thing over the N yeah the but but it's balanos I've been calling him balanos
8:18
forever and probably sound like a dumb American but uh he was fighting gastan
8:24
balanos and he has had some epic Knockouts and Bader so I was really
8:31
excited to see that fight because I knew Marcus uh mcke was also a really strong Striker really scary uh guy undefeated
8:38
in the UFC right now and that fight was crazy he was able to smack balos around
8:46
with like hooks over and over again it was it was a really crazy um just
8:51
Display of Power and uh yeah it was a it was a cool fight I was excited about that one cuz I feel like I'm not super
8:58
sure but but I feel like I met him when he was cornering one of his one of his homies and he hadn't gotten into the UFC
9:05
yet and he was like I'm going to be there one day and I'm like okay I'll see you and then he made it so I'm like a if
9:10
that's him I might be just being racist and it was another light-skinned black guy but I'm pretty sure it was him
9:18
so so good job if it's you better you than me yes yes I can make that mistake
9:25
and no one will judge me that hard actually they'll judge me cuz I have a white husband
9:30
but all my brothers are [Laughter]
9:35
black like oh my gosh oh um so there were a
9:41
lot of cool fights on the prelims but let's get to the nitty-gritty with the main
9:47
event yes um so Johnny Walker it was not his night but um anev is is next for a
9:55
title shot he's monster he really is and it's so weird because when he fought uh who did he fight for the belt previously
10:02
he fought uh yan yan bovic yes oh good I'm not sure
10:08
bovich bovic yeah when uh when they fought and it was a draw um I kind of I
10:15
didn't write him off but I I stopped paying attention to what he was doing I was like okay that was that was not a
10:21
great performance um but they were you know next in line for the title so I just kind of I just kind of tune out and
10:28
then you know we have Jamal Hill who's a very exciting Fighter um you know was a great Champion so I don't know what
10:36
Jamal's uh recovery time looks like right but that you know that's got to be
10:43
next or or um well Pera has the belt now so you have to wonder what's going to
10:49
happen first yeah is Jamal gonna get a shot at getting his belt back from p is
10:56
p goingon to fight um uh anv EnV yes the guy we were just talking
11:02
about or or um or yeah or are they gonna fight
11:10
each other is Hill gonna fight anle for a chance to fight perea it's it's yeah we don't know what's going to happen and
11:16
a lot of it is about recovery time how fast is he going to heal up yeah I don't
11:21
know that he's made it back to training yet so I feel like if I am just you know throwing stuff out there at the wall and
11:28
see what stick I feel like an love and I always say his name wrong I want I
11:34
want to say perara so badly or per yes uh Pereira I I I mean that's got to be
11:40
next right or or what about Jerry what's Jerry doing he he got
11:46
knocked down to the back of the line he got knocked down but by the person with the belt so does he get to like get a
11:53
shot at one of them maybe I don't know like they were they were pushing Jamal Hill versus Jerry when Jamal had the
12:00
belt that one makes more sense than than Jerry coming straight back and fighting
12:05
the Bel I feel like he you know the the way the fight went and everything like that and um I feel like he maybe needs
12:11
one under yeah one under his belt well yeah no yes yes no I didn't I didn't mean a rematch but uh does he have any
12:19
say in which Challenger he's GNA fight you know what I mean like not any say
12:26
but does he even get to fight a challenger or does he have to fight way down the list now that he's lost it
12:31
because he is former Champion I think that there's a little bit more um pull because he is a former
12:39
Champion he was coming off of a long layoff I think that he can get right back up into the mix but I think it it
12:45
might take one or two before he gets another title shot um so you you think
12:51
anev is definitely an X yes yeah yes they do and I don't think anyone's arguing that I think the only thing that
12:58
you can really argue is that it wasn't until he fought uh blakovich that he
13:05
really got that test and then it was a draw and now that he's fought Walker
13:10
it's a bigger it's better it was a better look because he knocked him out but Walker was still pretty far down the
13:16
list yeah so that's the only thing you could do to argue but with perea having
13:21
no real people looking to get at that title right now with Jamal Hill being
13:28
injured with uh bovich kind of losing that draw or not losing the draw but not
13:34
being around he also injured himself injured his shoulder uh yeah it's just
13:40
kind of Lucky timing too that anev got that big KO didn't take much damage and
13:46
yeah is is probably more rightfully uh able to call for a title
13:52
shot than P even was yeah I think so I think just in the matter that he won uh because it was
13:58
just just such a a devastating knockout yeah it was well it wasn't technically a
14:03
a ko ko but a lot of damage yeah he was done what the grab face I feel like is even
14:11
worse than uh loss of consciousness because the loss of consciousness can be
14:17
a flick yeah it can just be a little turn of the head and you're out but the fact that he smashed his fist into poor
14:25
Johnny Walker's face and he grabbed it because of the pain do you know what that tells me that tells me he has never
14:31
had a broken nose before because the first time that I broke my nose that is how I reacted it was so painful it feels
14:40
like your whole face explodes it is it is awful I mean people can get little
14:45
deviated septums here and there from sparring but like to have your nose just shatter like that's that's
14:53
broke broke how did you break your nose the first time I broke it in sparring okay and then then every time it it was
15:01
the worst pain in the world um and then every time after that it just kept getting like little breaks little breaks little little more crooked little more
15:08
deviated septum in there um so and the little breaks aren't as bad they're still painful but nothing was as painful
15:15
as as the first break the first time oh my God who popped your cherry e your
15:20
little nose Cherry this little little jerk of a Muay Thai girl that I sparred with she came she came into town when I
15:27
was still up in Orange County oh no little gloves just popped it popped it
15:32
right out so hard so hard dang that sucks I didn't yeah I didn't have a whole lot of like striking experience
15:38
that it's just kind of like a really new M and man dude little gloves sparring
15:43
too you really got to trust it guys if you're out there sparring in little little gloves be careful who you train
15:49
with because those things aren't much different from competition gloves and
15:55
it's really easy if you're going with someone wild that something that isn't covered can hit them like I've gotten uh
16:01
lumps on my head just from people's thumb bone being exposed and they're going and hit you right in the head with
16:08
the with with a knuckle or a bone or or a fingernail or something like that so
16:13
that that stuff is scary yeah yeah I'm not surprised I'm not surprised your nose got broken considering the
16:22
circumstances oh poor Johnny Walker um I wouldn't be surprised if that was his first time getting his nose brok Bren
16:28
too because he's he's pretty tall um he moves a lot so he's not really getting
16:34
hit flush like that and the way that anev just reared up like it was like the
16:40
Marge Simpson punch you know like that gif where she's like oh uh he reared up and just shoveled that uppercut right in
16:47
uppercut right into his face it was it was really horrible to watch but also very exciting yeah the only one who's
16:54
reacted worse than that was Rory McDonald oh oh yeah um who is he
17:00
fighting it wasn't it might have been Robbie Lawler but I
17:06
remember um did he get the I never I always forget if that uh fight ended in
17:11
a knockout or not um maybe the first one
17:17
okay I'm you have to you have to that I remember Rory McDonald had a terrible
17:23
reaction to his nose getting broke and I just I was I I felt for him
17:28
and Rory kind of has that face that looks like it shouldn't be hit too hard you know how someone what does that
17:36
mean you know how some people have kind of a face where it's like if you get hit real hard it's going to shatter and then
17:42
other people have like a face like a pitbull and they Pro Magnum yeah they look like they can take a lot of damage
17:49
they've been banging their head into walls as a kid and they're just built to
17:55
take that damage and absorb ified yes good for you and Rory he has a little
18:02
bird head oh um yeah so that was a really crazy
18:08
fight um and did you think because people are debating this but I I felt like Johnny Walker was doing kind of
18:15
well in the first few minutes of the fight he was dictating the pace landed there was a spinning Hill kick that he
18:20
landed that I thought did something but the more the fight went on and you can
18:26
hear the commentators say it too the more he started to lose gas uh and this was all in the first round he's throwing
18:33
a ton of kicks spinning being weird losing gas a little bit and then that
18:39
nutshot just I think took the last bit of energy out of him yeah I mean it it very well could have
18:45
he he's a a big guy he cuts a ton of weight and for that style that takes a
18:53
lot a lot of energy uh that burns you up really really quickly and and I mean I
19:00
yeah it's it's hard to say exactly I I know that he was you know well trained for that fight um you know putting in
19:06
work and stuff like that it's not like he didn't know about it it's not like it wasn't it was a short notice fight or anything like that but it just seemed to
19:13
take a lot out of him really fast yeah for sure so it was the second fight the second fight in in Ko and yes his poor
19:19
little nose yeah it was it was bad yeah it like I my my heart hurt for him so of
19:25
my nose it was bad throbbing from sympathy pain we know what that feels
19:32
like oh god um what did you think all
19:37
right I'm not trying to put you out there but as us more uh mature Fighters
19:45
what did you think about Jim Miller's performance oh my God he's such a stud he's so good I love Jim Miller he's such
19:52
so awesome so good he's like um he really inspires me watching him fight I
19:57
always get really inspired because I am I am also um of of a more mature
20:06
age yes um I just yeah I I really admire
20:11
what he's doing and I um you know it gives it gives me confidence that you
20:18
know I can still perform at the highest level um you know when he was in there
20:23
it was uh Bonitas was it mowgly was it Bonitas
20:28
yeah um the first round again I was a little bit I was a little bit nervous about the the way it was going but then
20:35
you just saw Jim Miller and his like veteran just uh just kicking in and uh
20:43
B's you know was throwing everything that he could at him Gabriel Bonas yeah
20:48
he was in the fight but it just um Jim Miller just pulled ahead he did and
20:55
those leg kicks man like both of them were getting pretty marked up on the legs but Jim Miller was putting them in
21:01
and he was staying uh to the plan he was sticking to the plan he was seeing what
21:06
was working and that's that veteran that you see a lot of people will land
21:12
something that's good and they stray away from it for whatever reason maybe they felt uncomfortable throwing it or
21:19
maybe I don't know they just wanted to punch the guy in the face so they go away from the stuff that was working and
21:24
Jim Miller always seems to take the path of least resistance and it's really cool
21:30
to watch because he's known as a Grappler known as just a grinder but the
21:35
leg kicks he was throwing were nasty nasty big swooping chopping the tree
21:41
down leg kicks and that's something that uh is hard to teach people so he's
21:47
definitely honed all of his skills he didn't just follow the box that he was put in when he first got into the UFC
21:54
he's worked on every aspect of his game and and he's able to find the win even
22:00
in a fight that looks pretty evenly matched and that fight in the first round it looked really evenly match and
22:06
then he just pulled ahead like your boy uh Parsons just kind of found those areas where he was having success and
22:12
just kept needling and and beating him up and got his way to that to that submission finish yeah going off of what
22:20
you were saying with um it it just it shows that he's such a veteran and I
22:25
think it's really impressive that he keeps evolving because you know in in
22:31
the past I've seen these you know these Fighters like you know you have like a Chuck lodal or like a babalo and like
22:36
you know they were the big names coming uh that were fighting when I was coming up in the sport and I would see them
22:42
stopping evolving like they did what they did really well and people had a hard time with it but like eventually
22:47
people are going to figure it out so if you're not evolving constantly and and
22:52
adding new tool to new tools to your tool belt then it's just um it's kind of
22:58
inevitable that you're you're nearing the end so I think it's really impressive that he is such a veteran he
23:04
has so many fights under his belt he has such great fight IQ the most and the
23:10
most he just hit the mark he just hit that Mark that's incred crazy and he's
23:15
still learning and growing um speaking of big names what do
23:21
you think about his Brock Lesnar call out I think that's hilarious I loved his
23:27
post fight yeah like he did a really good one he was calling out Paul Felder he was calling out Matt Brown um I
23:33
thought you know I mean he's he's been there done that he's seen it all and I mean why why not have fun with it why
23:39
not why not I would love to see him fight Brock Lesnar because he said in his pre fight that he could finish him
23:45
with kamur How likely do you think that is I mean I'd pay to see
23:51
[Laughter] it it's um I mean Brock Brock has you
23:58
know power and size on his hand but you know Jiu-Jitsu Jitsu Jitsu Jiu-Jitsu is The
24:05
Equalizer yeah it's The Equalizer get that kamora I can see him scrambling up his back going for stuff I could see him
24:13
like trying and grabbing like a knee bar from bottom and just not being able to like bend it it's a big old leg the um I
24:20
always think of that random Arnold Schwarz Ander movie where he had to fight this guy who was like a drug deal
24:28
but he knew jiujitsu for some reason he was Arnold swarzenegger was a sheriff this is one of his later movies where
24:35
he's old but he was a sheriff and this guy
24:40
tried to Jiu-Jitsu him and it came out around the time that everyone was wanting Ronda Rousey to fight Cyborg and
24:47
I remember we had a bet with uh my grappling coach at the time we're like this is how it would go down it would go
24:53
down just like this movie cyborg would almost get armbar and then she'd just
24:59
curl her arm back and slam her into the ground so that that's what I feel like
25:04
would happen if Jim Miller tried to knee just go and sit on him and crush his
25:11
crush his little head with was butt or something but I would I would like to see him try yeah they should set up a
25:19
grappling competition like a slap Jitsu thing cuz Brock Lesnar I'm sure can
25:25
knock someone out with a slap pretty easily very easily the stakes would be high still I thought uh him calling out
25:33
Paul Felder who was you know at the desk on that fight card I thought that was interesting and that kind of piqu my
25:38
interest but from what he was saying I like that he's you know saying that you know it it does I guess excite him you
25:45
know to think about it but he's pretty set in his retirement and I I can really
25:52
appreciate and respect that that mentality like he's just really staying strong sticking to his gun
25:58
and um you know fighting fighting's hard it is you can't just pop back in whenever you want you're G to get hurt
26:06
it's hard it's hard for people who want to train and can't it's hard for people
26:11
who um who just need some time off and then come back thinking they'll roll
26:17
back into it that's usually when injuries happen a lot too oh I am actually I'm nervous about trying to get
26:22
back into it I've already I've already eased like that's what I'm doing right now I'm easing back into
26:28
I'm not fully clear to like do full contact training but I I was like you know what it's about that time it's
26:35
about that time to start getting ready to get ready man it's hard it's hard I just had a little winter break and that
26:42
was hard getting back into the gym and going hard and wanting to go hard knowing that your lungs are just gonna
26:49
punch you in the gut for doing so you know it's really it's really rough so I
26:55
can imagine how you're feeling the the nervousness but also you haven't done it
27:00
in a long time so it's G to be fun too I'm I'm having fun working my way into
27:06
it I'm like I'm so overl I'm like it's boring it's so boring I mean it's nice
27:13
it's nice because I can actually see the the numbers going up like Weight Wise so I'm like I know I'm strong you're
27:19
looking strong I will take that as a compl I can't wait to see your uh Matt return
27:26
when you get back on the rest that mat return I'm going to be
27:31
flying I could I could pop you could pop you twist you and toss me out the cage
27:37
yeah I've never actually focused on like just lifting Okay and like the when I
27:43
did focus on lifting it was more in like strength and conditioning like fight preparation so just focusing on it I
27:49
feel like I've actually made some some gains that I've I've needed nice uh because I I put on you know weight
27:58
but um in the right spots but not the right kind of weight it's a lot of
28:04
thickness it's not a like functional muscles stop stop it Jess we're not an only fans
28:11
anymore oh my goodness but it's just um it wasn't the
28:16
kind of weight that I was trying to put on oh okay yeah yeah well you look strong your quads look like thick and
28:22
muscular and ready to oh they kick the [ __ ] out of somebody you know big
28:27
swooping Jim Miller leg kicks and everything yeah I have like uh my
28:32
notes like my iPhone Notes I have the notes that um what I like specifically want to work on okay when I get back and
28:39
like what kind of fighter I want to be so I'm I'm very excited that'll be fun I can't wait for
28:45
the return it'll be fun it'll be good times um so what other fights got you kind of
28:53
maybe making notes about or excited from last night's card
28:59
anyone mm I'm sorry wrong question I have one really tell me there is a
29:07
maniac in the UFC right now this guy what is his name I don't even remember his name it's uh Gian
29:15
Silva did you I think I didn't see that one okay his knockout was very
29:20
impressive but the craziest thing about him is that he he got a knockout in uh
29:27
uh I think maybe three minutes or something like that three minutes into the first round his walk out took twice
29:35
as long as a knock out is he the one that put on the glasses afterwards yes okay I just um I tuned in I tuned back
29:43
in when he won so I I did not see any of that fight okay I was trying to uh find
29:50
the live footage of um of the fight night and I was looking on Twitter and I
29:55
just saw all these videos I don't think they showed it on the replay on ESPN plus but I see all these videos of him
30:01
walking to the octagon and and mind you this is the Apex it shouldn't take you
30:07
more than 30 seconds that's like 100 feet it's not that far yeah is it's 100
30:13
feet less than a hundred steps like and he took his every step was
30:21
like it looked like he was walking in place would he like stop and like wave at people like he was in a parade no he
30:27
just walked out he's he's in the zone and he's slowly walking out but it looks like he's just marching in place and
30:34
every now and then he goes forward a little bit goes forward a little bit but he's just really taking his time and so
30:41
I was flipping out about this and I was trying to show Adam so I went to the replay and they cut it of course it was
30:47
a time suck it was so much time it was probably like a 20 minute walk out to go that far no nobody needs to see this
30:54
ever again no so of course Michael bisbing is just making jokes the whole
30:59
time and so I go back to the replay to show Adam and they start with him
31:05
getting greased up but he does the same thing as he walks up the steps like him walking up the steps into the cage took
31:13
a good minute oh I'm not exaggerating it was his night it was his night his debut
31:19
he was a plus or a minus 900 favorite so I don't know why he needed all that
31:25
motivation 9 100 yeah the guy was plus 600 Underdog and he was minus 900
31:32
favorite so it was yeah he everyone expected him to do what he did but this
31:39
guy is a legit Maniac so he goes in there he's barking too he's barking the
31:46
entire time like butcher when you come
31:51
over every time every time uh and then he gets his crazy knockout hits him with
31:56
like this these really heavy check Hooks and uh ends it with like a jump knee
32:02
flick kick thing and then just punches the guy and the guy the guy's done um
32:08
and then his post fight speech he runs up to the camera he's barking barking
32:15
barking and then bisin goes anything
32:21
else like that's legit how I talk to butcher like that's and then what tell me more and
32:30
then what and then what are we doing and then St that was pretty
32:35
hilarious but his his post everything about his post fight speech was ridiculous he put the glasses on uh
32:43
Michael bisbing asked him through the translator like how he set up his hook and then instead of saying something he
32:49
demonstrated it he said look and he made his coach
32:56
come over over and then he just throws a hook at his coach and he's like like that it was it was really interesting I
33:05
I'm very excited that this guy is in the UFC we needed some crazy we lost the we
33:11
lost all our crazies you know we don't have any right now so that was
33:17
pure uh highlevel crazy especially crazy Brazilian I'm I'm very excited about
33:23
this guy have you ever seen the keyan keyan pill skit where they have the two MMA fighters and they're both doing like
33:30
the pre-fight scrum and one guy's like I'mma make him wish that he never
33:36
stepped in the cage and the other guy is like my hands are a weapon of
33:43
Destruction I remember this yeah yeah yeah he's like saying all this crazy all
33:48
this crazy stuff that's who that guy is he probably saw that skit and was like that's me that's I'm I'm that guy that's
33:56
what I'm doing when I get to the UFC and he nailed it it's so he's so insane so
34:02
uh I can't wait to see him fight again and he fights at this gym called uh the fighting nerds which I think is really
34:08
cute hence the glasses yes the glasses with tape in the middle um so I that's
34:14
such a Brazilian gym name is it that's just makes a lot of sense I'm not well versed in Brazilian gym names but tell
34:21
me more no no just like the nicknames they give people like just their their
34:26
uh um use of the English language without actually speaking English they
34:32
yeah that's what I mean yeah it's like an English it's endearing it's endearing it's cute I think it's cute yeah I went
34:38
and checked out the page cuz I'm like what is this Gem and uh the first video they had was some guy who was obviously
34:45
a fighter but he had the same glasses on and like a book bag and the guys are bullying him and he's like oh and then
34:52
he gets in the ring and beats up the bully nice I'm like a you guys are cute and antibullying in Brazil I love
34:59
it so I can't wait to see this guy fight again I I'll have to watch him fight
35:05
because I did miss that fight so definitely definitely need to run it back yeah for sure but I you know there
35:12
were a bunch of cool knockouts on the card um the I was a little sad about Phil Halls because I really like the way
35:17
he fights and he just got smashed by um what was the kid's name was that ma um
35:24
it was like almost beta f f f it was another f
35:32
f Bruno F yeah too it was it was a pretty nasty
35:37
knockout um just throwing a lot of uh just a lot of stuff like mixing up well
35:43
throwing a lot of uh head kicks um punches in in the pocket and Halls just
35:49
kept getting like kind of nailed with stuff and you land a big jump knee uh big punch off of the kick it was it was
35:56
it was a really impressive uh really impressive um showing but I really like
36:02
H and now he's on a three fight loose streak so I always get a little sad
36:07
about that I've been there you know I've been on loose streaks suck and you just
36:13
keep thinking that you you're either done or you're wasting your time or luck
36:18
just isn't on your side and it's easy to just get in this negative spiral when you hit that absolutely I mean I've I've
36:25
been there too it's um it's it's hard but it's a great opportunity
36:31
to reinvent rebuild and just um you don't necessarily need to like go crazy and do something different but I mean
36:37
there's it's a good feedback you know of there's something that's not working I
36:43
get to figure it out I get to you know go back to the drawing board with the coaches and just kind of um you know
36:49
it's an opportunity to reinvent yourself which which is nice and necessary in the sport because it's forever changing uh
36:55
but it's also it's also brutal because this sport is just so
37:01
unforgiving and I mean there's bad matchups for everyone everywhere and you don't always get the opportunity
37:06
sometimes the the best person doesn't always win yeah it's just uh MMA math is weird it doesn't always add up it really
37:13
doesn't it's uh and it's like somebody has to lose you rarely get a draw like
37:20
the um Yan and uh anev guy you rarely get that um so it's it's really hard uh
37:28
when you might have done everything right and you still lose you might have been the better fighter done everything
37:35
right and you still lose and it's just it's just a really hard sport when when you think of it in the numbers sense but
37:42
um yeah hopefully he'll bounce it back it is it is weird because you know you
37:48
have these people burst on the scene and they're you know on the you know Next
37:54
Big Thing watch list kind of um and then it doesn't always pan out the way it's supposed to or or the way they
37:59
envisioned it and sometimes you know they do really well in the lower leagues and they come
38:05
in and they just kind of fall flat maybe they're winning but I mean even if you're winning and it's not exciting it's a
38:12
possibility of getting cut even if um you know you come on the scene you have a really nice clean record and you know
38:19
you lose your first one you're already on the on the watch on the watch yeah on the roster watch yeah it's just it's so
38:26
hard and there's so many people that are coming in and out of of the UFC in particular um you know everybody's dying
38:33
to get in and and it's hard to say so it just it's it's brutal sometimes it
38:40
is yeah you just have to make the best of the opportunities and yeah and enjoy the time that you're there CU nothing
38:47
lasts forever you're never you're not going to be employed forever you're not going to be fighting forever and you're not going to be winning forever but uh
38:54
it's really important to enjoy the journey enjoy the people that you're sharing it with and uh just be thankful
39:02
that you're doing uh you're doing your passion because I don't think anyone
39:07
makes it as far to the UFC where it isn't their passion well we know like one or
39:13
two I think I think um it's a very it's very unforgiving and I think people get
39:18
really exposed if uh they're not necessarily meant to be there right uh
39:24
some people get really luy or they get like um a short notice fight and they're there and it's just it's very it's very
39:31
clear that you know they weren't potentially ready to be there uh but yeah they get they get exposed very
39:37
quickly pretty quick turnaround yeah um yeah yeah if uh like another thing for
39:44
fighters to pay attention to is um there's like a couple uh a couple I
39:51
guess Twitter accounts that follow who's being released who's being signed and a
39:57
lot of times it'll be super surprising like a lot of times you're just like whoa that person just got in there or
40:03
whoa that person was a huge deal and they just released them so I think it's uh important for fighters to know that
40:09
once you get in the UFC that that's just the beginning that's the easy part
40:15
actually to get into the UFC staying there is so hard you got to work for it
40:20
you got to work to stay there and even then you might not be there that long so
40:25
there's also there the great thing now is the UFC isn't necessarily the NLB you
40:30
know there are other organizations that are paying well giving well like good opportunities but the UFC still really
40:37
is the the Pinnacle it's it's where everybody really aspires to be on that level um it's you know a polished well
40:45
oiled machine it has a great platform that none of the organizations really can compare to in my opinion um so but
40:54
it's it's also it's not the end and if if you don't make it in it and if you get cut or if you you know choose to
41:01
want to go somewhere else yeah and there's more popping up every day unfortunately we just lost bellad as a
41:08
big one and people are still trying to figure that out like what's going to happen with that so far I don't know
41:13
anyone who actually knows what's going on so I'm a little scared for him and
41:19
then I was like well I'm sure the pfl fighters have something booked right now and I go on the pfl page and I'm like oh
41:26
they still have their New Year show and I'm like wait a second it's 2024 yeah that already passed there's
41:33
nothing updated on the website so I'm just like what's going on guys maybe
41:38
they needed to take a little bit of time to rebuild Rebrand and you know figure everything out because yeah it's just
41:46
hard to imagine that they like acquired a whole another organization and didn't have it like any set plans they're like
41:53
all right we got it now what right I mean we're gonna need a little time to figure it out I mean you're in real
41:59
estate like how many times do people go into escrow and then fall out of it
42:05
because like they weren't equipped yeah I'm hoping that doesn't happen with the
42:11
pfl and bellad they P pfl just realized they weren't equipped to handle all
42:16
these new Fighters handle so many new cards and still try to put on bellad shows even though Bader is absorbed like
42:24
it's it's kind of uh it's kind of like everything's just in a gray area right
42:29
now nobody really knows what's going on if they do know what's going on which I really hope somebody does um they're not
42:36
they're not giving anything up maybe it's just going to be like a huge reveal a big surprise You' seen the repap that
42:43
guy don't know anything I know he's over there like a used car salesman like
42:49
slapped look at this promotion we're going to put on all the shows and he's
42:54
just lying out the side of of his mouth it looks like it's like it's it's rigged to like drive off the lot and die in
43:01
your in your garage yes it'll get right off and all of a sudden it starts
43:07
clunking the wheels fall off but you already signed it it's yours off the lot
43:13
it's yours there's nothing they could do about it sorry it worked before you uh bought it sorry it's your
43:21
fault it's the Fighter's fault for not promoting themselves that's what it is oh stop it stop it don't even yeah well
43:29
on that note we are going to switch over to our exclusive content portion of the
43:34
show uh we'll see all you cool kids over there yeah let's talk about
43:40
UFC 297 all right is that the number yes okay
