what's up guys
0:05
hey I don't know if you noticed but
0:08
something's a little different for this
0:10
episode we're bringing it back bringing
0:12
it back old school old school to straws
0:15
we're breaking down UFC 302 we have
0:19
Islam makev versus Dustin porier but
0:23
first we want to talk about the greatest
0:26
boxing match that has ever happened in
0:29
the history of
0:30
boxing uh just watched the L versus
0:33
Paige fight uh makes me think where does
0:35
Beck Rollins F into the scenario she's
0:38
not used to taking poundings but she
0:40
sure can deliver a hit oh she's not used
0:43
to it no no okay would be a great
0:46
matchup especially thinking about one
0:47
taking the strap from the other get
0:51
it
0:54
yeah good
0:57
one thanks to all these influences this
1:00
is where we're at yeah it doesn't even
1:02
matter that it's for something it's just
1:03
people beating each other up yeah yeah
1:06
but at least these old guys are getting
1:08
work like Tyson and Jake Paul get to
1:10
fight each other that's that's something
1:13
how about Tyson being asked uh what do
1:15
you want people to know about you to
1:17
which he
1:18
responded nothing [ __ ] you I think I
1:22
felt my Mantra yeah this sound's right
1:24
up about your
1:27
Aly thanks for noticing let's break
1:29
break down Paige versus
1:35
Ellie and we're
1:37
back so we're gonna talk about UFC
1:41
302 yeah they're back in New Jersey so
1:44
soon I mean I guess they had to come
1:46
back after that F Main Event oh they had
1:49
to I was there and basically by the
1:51
fifth round the only people left were
1:53
blanchfield and fit's family even the
1:55
Jersey Shore crew didn't bother to show
1:57
up oh BL for mom is just like you're
2:00
doing great honey let's talk about Islam
2:04
makev versus Dustin porier I feel like
2:07
you can pretty much say Islam makev is
2:10
the inaugural 145 pound
2:15
champ because he only beat vul in his
2:18
defenses twice how much can you root for
2:21
a guy who beat up an old man I know
2:23
right Conor McGregor much vul and dtin
2:26
are actually the same age oh don't don't
2:28
tell Islam though
2:30
maybe that's why he's trying to retire
2:32
so soon he's like done I get the early
2:34
word special
2:37
yeah uh what do you what's the the the
2:40
matina special too yeah I go to
2:43
matina I bring my own hot sauce to
2:46
functions well basically he says he
2:48
doesn't want to climb the ladder
2:50
anymore that hips and
2:54
all all I know is they better check
2:56
pore's gloves cuz he might have some hot
2:59
sauce on him he's fitting to bring the
3:02
heat and he's coming out with his own
3:04
bourbon apparently it's called rare
3:07
stash oh does Islam have anything like
3:09
that yeah he has an endorsement it's
3:11
called No
3:12
stash it's a water
3:17
endorsement this fight for me I'm always
3:19
rooting for Dustin por just because I
3:20
think he's just a really easy person to
3:23
root for yeah um but makev is is I think
3:28
on another level although he seemed way
3:30
more human after he lost the first one
3:33
to vulk yes I said it I said what I said
3:36
wow both claims I know that's how I feel
3:39
that's how I saw it um but everybody
3:42
forgets about that because it was such a
3:43
devastating knockout the second go
3:45
around yeah um so I think that this will
3:48
be a really good test because Dustin
3:50
poier is a natural
3:52
155 um he's also a southpaw he has great
3:56
striking and I think that's where makev
3:58
kind of lacked M he makes up for it with
4:01
great grappling and power but I think
4:04
that Dustin has the edge with the
4:05
Striking and he's been fighting 155s too
4:10
yes which might be a rude awakening when
4:13
Islam comes in he's fighting someone as
4:15
big as him I forgot that Islam actually
4:18
looks kind of normal siiz because he's
4:20
fought volkanovski twice and that's my
4:22
most recent memory of him but he
4:24
actually looked kind of small against
4:25
certain people and Dustin porier like
4:28
you said he's southpaw he likes to do
4:30
that switch stance coming in he like
4:32
kind of charges and switches as he comes
4:34
through and that's what really messed up
4:37
uh Islam shev in the first volkanovski
4:39
fight so I'm expecting him to try to get
4:42
some of that going I'm a little nervous
4:44
though because he likes to dip he likes
4:46
to swing his head and if Islam's
4:49
throwing those kicks up there and timing
4:51
them really well we know he has the P
4:53
power to finish people I mean that's
4:55
what happened to Dustin against who is
4:58
it gaii
5:00
wait why isn't gaii fighting for the
5:04
belt oh my God yeah you know
5:10
why good reason it's a good reason it
5:12
was an awesome fight we loved it we
5:14
loved every moment of it what's the over
5:16
under that Dustin jumps to Gilly in this
5:18
one girl I bet his corner is dying and
5:23
begging him not to do it cuz it's high
5:26
you know he's going to do it though he's
5:27
going to do it he can't help himself
5:29
he's going to do it you can tell when
5:30
it's about to happen he just starts like
5:31
getting getting a little itchy little
5:33
trigger finger itchy hey not everyone
5:35
can be Angela hiltin
5:39
oh they
5:40
cannot just saying um I mean he did it
5:45
against kabib when they fought and you
5:48
know he has to have a little PTSD when
5:50
he gets in the cage and he sees Islam
5:53
makev standing across from him like you
5:55
can't think of one and not think of the
5:57
other it's like the ultimate
5:59
intimidation Factor when you have
6:01
somebody like that you've lost to in
6:03
your opponent's Corner exactly oh is he
6:06
going to Corner him this time cuz he
6:07
wasn't I mean I don't see why not he
6:09
wasn't in the vault
6:10
Corner either times maybey psycholog I
6:15
don't
6:16
know psychologically though it's
6:19
basically going to be like he's there I
6:20
mean you think of Islam makev and you
6:22
think of khabib it's like thinking of
6:24
Bert and not thinking of
6:26
Ernie very true next we have Sean
6:29
Strickland
6:30
versus Paulo Costa Twitter's Main Event
6:34
o x Jess is X now oh sorry amold this is
6:38
going to be for the inaugural toxic
6:41
masculinity belt who will be the most
6:44
problematic at the press conference
6:46
that's the question whoever makes the
6:48
most homophobic and sexual remarks
6:51
wins yeah like why is stricklin so
6:53
obsessed with gay people anyway like who
6:55
hurt
6:57
him oh wait you know Paulo Costa was the
7:01
victim of some unwanted
7:03
touching is that where the secret juice
7:05
came from mayy yeah he got written like
7:09
Twisted steel at a rodeo
7:12
Oh well as long as Sal deato isn't
7:15
judging those fights neither of them
7:17
have to worry about getting
7:20
[ __ ] you know this is Paulo's second
7:22
fight back since getting staff on his
7:24
arm M was losing it but also
7:26
Strickland's first fight back since
7:28
losing the title and more importantly
7:31
losing his insta girlfriend Nina
7:35
what she she's doing videos of someone
7:38
else what it's Paulo luckily though
7:41
Strickland has a really great guard he
7:44
plays great defense so I think that his
7:46
his eyes and his cup will be protected
7:49
yeah he does a good job of protecting
7:51
everything Philly shellin getting his
7:53
hips in front of the groin making sure
7:55
that doesn't happen too much and if it
7:58
does happen I think he should do the
7:59
Alex P like no we're fine don't stop the
8:03
action I need to continue pressing
8:06
pressing this guy but uh yeah Paulo
8:09
Costa showed that he's still dangerous
8:11
in the Whitaker fight so Strickland has
8:14
to be tight with his guard and has to
8:17
just do what he always does but I feel
8:19
like a JB's going to keep him away and
8:20
keep him on the way to a
8:23
victory I I see Strickland winning this
8:25
one yeah I do even though Paul Costa
8:28
looked really good against Whitaker it
8:30
was probably his best fight in years he
8:31
showed up in shape which I don't think
8:33
he has shown up in shape in a very long
8:35
time I mean that uh L rockold was kind
8:39
of kind of tiring to watch that was I
8:42
was exhausted for them I'm still tired
8:44
for about that fight it's like when uh
8:46
Two Dads who used to fight got in a
8:49
scuffle at a cookout yeah they were they
8:52
were pretty they they were like wait
8:54
hold on okay let's go everybody just
8:57
standing clear letting them letting them
8:59
get it out yeah they they'll Tire
9:01
themselves out eventually separate them
9:04
when it's safe yeah but he definitely
9:05
looked more like a fighter in a
9:07
dangerous fighter this the same fighter
9:09
he used to be in the Whitaker fight so
9:11
this is going to be a tough test for
9:13
Sean but I feel like if he does what
9:16
he's always done he's going to go away
9:18
with the victory I think so he has a he
9:20
has a great ability to take people out
9:22
of their game we have Kevin Holland the
9:25
people's champ who for some reason does
9:27
not want to be champ he just wants get
9:29
paid which I totally understand be nice
9:31
to get champ money though hey I'm just
9:34
saying I've heard it's really nice and
9:35
then we have mik uh cat steps on
9:38
keyboard
9:40
yeah it's aen Che totally that's how you
9:45
say it alen Che uh good luck trying to
9:47
say that to Siri guys yeah uh Siri uh
9:50
find alen che's
9:54
Record She ghes to me yeah yeah she
9:57
she's not fighting always f like Kevin
9:59
Holland was like a real life Meteor Man
10:03
oh really yeah yeah like that old movie
10:06
he's like a real life superhero when
10:08
he's not disarming robbers at a
10:10
restaurant or getting back old ladyes
10:13
purse from the bad guys he's collecting
10:16
his own fight purse with a short-nosed
10:19
fight fair enough damn I nailed
10:23
that you better right
10:26
fluff Olen ol
10:32
checken
10:34
wow I wrote it phonetically and then a
10:37
COR correct keeps [ __ ] me okay well
10:40
I'm just gonna say it how I say it yeah
10:42
say how you say it Che in ja yeah you I
10:48
said I was going to say it how I say it
10:49
that's how it came out please please say
10:50
it that's how it came out that's how cat
10:52
wrote it that
10:54
way it's what the cat wrote on my
10:57
keyboard well I think he is the perfect
11:01
opponent uh for him because he can have
11:03
a lot of fun with him because he
11:05
pressures in and uses his face as a
11:06
punching bag oh yeah yeah this guy is a
11:10
bullet sponge he kind of uses that Homer
11:13
Simpson defense just absorbs everything
11:16
yeah absorbs everything lets you get
11:19
tired from punching him and then he
11:21
knocks you out like he's he's pretty
11:23
dangerous with that he can take a lot of
11:25
damage I don't remember too many of his
11:27
fights but he has a win over Sam Ali
11:30
it doesn't
11:33
oh sorry
11:35
Sam well the kid is Polish so you know
11:37
he has power everywhere polish power
11:40
polish power he looks acceptably strong
11:43
so big mouth is going to have to keep
11:44
his uh words to a
11:47
minimum zip it up I bet Holland learns
11:50
some Polish phrases just so he could
11:52
chat with him during the fight if he was
11:54
smart he would let's try some out this
11:56
is what I think this is what I think
11:58
Kevin learned learned for his
12:01
fight yeah that means like what how you
12:04
doing hey how are you yeah GNA it means
12:09
um good morning oh okay good one to know
12:12
hello Goa yeah top of the morning yeah
12:15
it does sound like that okay what else I
12:18
I didn't know it like you know sounded
12:19
so similar Roman Roman languages you
12:23
know they're all similar yep yeah yep
12:25
just like the Latin languages I gu
12:29
uhuh goodbye good evening yeah spear Del
12:34
spear Del dupek okay
12:37
dupek yeah like please after you oh
12:41
that's so polite you could say that when
12:42
they're entering the cage yeah
12:44
dupek
12:46
dupek hey dupc we we're pretty good I'm
12:50
really impressed with our accents as
12:52
well if we meet someone polish we know
12:54
what to say another fight we have on the
12:56
main card is jalon Almeida versus
13:00
Alexander Romanov it's always a little
13:02
confusing to me when you have two guys
13:04
that can knock each other out with one
13:05
punch that choose to wrestle around and
13:08
grind each other out on the ground yeah
13:10
this fight could be really exciting but
13:12
it's probably going to be really boring
13:14
High 90s yeah yeah high high chance of
13:17
boredom um he had a crazy fight with
13:20
Curtis blades he also had a really
13:22
lackluster fight with Derrick Lewis
13:24
Almeida did if D D Lewis he just kind of
13:28
wrestle [ __ ] Ed him asserted his
13:29
dominance it was really impressive but
13:31
not super exciting but then with Curtis
13:33
Blaze he tried to do the same thing and
13:35
then ate a fist full of hammer fist for
13:38
it yeah so if with Romanov I think he's
13:41
just GNA have to keep moving otherwise
13:43
same thing might happen Romanov is a big
13:46
boy it's essentially going to have to be
13:48
a gorilla
13:52
fight his belly is Hypnotic though so if
13:55
he uses his footwork really well he can
13:56
put him into a trance
13:59
him into a state of of relaxedness and
14:02
then take him down yeah like Shakira
14:04
exactly exactly like Shakira you know he
14:07
was a negative
14:11
220 favorite
14:14
2,200 favorite that's offensive how do
14:17
you say that 2200 yeah it's all right we
14:20
got there I knew what you were saying
14:22
got you did you know he was a negative
14:25
2200 favorite against Chase Sherman no
14:28
that's offensive it was it was Rudee
14:30
yeah against an actual gorilla he's the
14:32
vanilla gorilla and uh Romanov is King
14:35
Kong so I guess uh regular gorilla loses
14:38
to King Kong who's a very big
14:41
gorilla I was also wondering if he went
14:44
to Patty Pet's Barber again yeah I
14:47
wonder if he's goingon to do that again
14:48
for this fight it's hard to steal that
14:50
kind of hairstyle from though you're
14:51
always gonna be in Patty Pet's Shadow I
14:54
mean that guy's pretty big I feel like
14:57
Patty pimp is going to be in his shadow
14:59
even even at his
15:01
biggest fair enough you know I've had 25
15:04
fights in the UFC and people still
15:06
confuse me for the titty KO girl
15:11
casuals shame on you uh next fight we
15:13
have Randy Brown versus Dos Santos don't
15:16
ask me to say that first name
15:18
though uh Alexi dosantos oh he's I never
15:23
heard of him this should be a really
15:25
tough debut I mean Randy Brown's really
15:28
good no no no he's he's been in the UFC
15:31
since 2015 oh he also koed Strickland oh
15:37
mhm typical Brazilian fighter who's beat
15:39
all of your favorite Fighters but you
15:41
never heard of them huh that's funny
15:43
because uh Randy Brown is kind of the
15:45
same only I know about him because I'm
15:48
black we pay attention to each other
15:51
Randy Brown's a gamer in both senses
15:53
like he always shows up to fight he has
15:55
really nasty grappling really long game
15:59
like he's kind of built like a spider he
16:01
could have stolen Anderson Silva's
16:03
nickname and he uses his range well so I
16:06
mean he potentially could be Anderson
16:08
Silva's child he could he could you
16:11
never know or a skinny JN Jones skinny
16:13
baby JN Jones yeah yeah definitely
16:17
hopefully this fight will give both of
16:20
them a little more name value when it
16:22
comes to the Casual
16:24
fans pay attention sorry sorry do Santos
16:28
we have some other fun fights on the
16:30
card too yeah we have Roman kopaloff uh
16:33
that kid actually looks like he is um in
16:36
between Ben asran and Chase Hooper on
16:40
The evolutionary timeline I can see that
16:42
it's like a Pokemon evolution chart yeah
16:46
the end you get to copy copy
16:49
laugh copy laugh anyways and Mickey G is
16:53
back he's taking on uh basil Haz oh
16:57
that's my favorite whiskey
16:59
that's not the same thing Angela oh but
17:02
I know where your post fight mindset is
17:05
at and then we have the street beefs
17:08
main event on the prelims 2 we have aen
17:12
Perez versus Joseline Edwards yeah tell
17:15
me more about that yeah did you hear
17:16
about the fight that went down on the
17:18
streets or in the pi no so girl let me
17:23
tell you this was months
17:24
ago aen was apparently training and
17:30
she had
17:33
said so the when there and she's getting
17:37
ready for another fight it's over breaks
17:40
it up and he's like the coach had the
17:42
choke in deep and almost so aen ended up
17:45
fighting with a black eye that she did
17:47
not get from her opponent it was from
17:49
that whole
17:51
scuffle
17:53
Dam so I don't know who started it the
17:57
story is still out there there's been no
17:59
video release no charges have been
18:02
pressed but they get to settle in the
18:04
cage which is I feel like that's Justice
