1:53
wait how do I tell if [Laughter] it's oh God it's been a day it's been a
1:59
week um but yeah we're back um we went on uh some pretty wild separate
2:08
Adventures last week which is why we weren't here last week but um I ended up
2:13
going to Vegas for international fight week in 303 and just went out in the
2:18
wilderness with uh with our buddy cat and had a A Spiritual Awakening I don't
2:24
know I actually haven't talked to you about it but it sound it looks like you did do I look a little rough you look
2:30
spiritual or am I glowing I look earthy you do look like I was rolling in the dirt swimming in the
2:38
river that coaster was just so jealous of your stories like listen to me um
2:45
yeah no you just look like you kind of had an out ofbody experience what oh I did what did you
2:51
do well we went up to yosity and uh we camped out for 5 days
2:58
ooh Dam yeah it was longer than expected I sometimes I just say yes to things actually a lot I say yes to things and
3:05
then you know I'm just like yeah I'll figure it out later and then I don't really realize like what I've committed
3:10
to and I'm a very different like Mo like a very different person when I agree to things as to when it's actually like
3:16
time to go so when it was time to go I was like I don't want to so basically a cat trafficked you she kidnapped me and
3:22
held me hostage for many many days oh my goodness um luckily I I love the
3:28
outdoors uh one of my favorite things to do is you know get out on the trail and hike with with my dog she's a great
3:34
adventure dog and um the the best thing that I can do out in the wilderness is
3:39
um climb and jump okay so there was lots of climbing and jumping into water
3:47
swimming and you just like rinse and repeat like all day all day fun yes all
3:52
right and you did that with uh with the help of your uh little Super Mario
3:58
mushroom um actually I was not allowed near the water oh good on mushrooms cuz you can
4:04
like pretend you can think that you can like breathe underw and drown no seriously yeah you turn to a fish yeah
4:11
you're like oh I belong down here I'm a mermaid no you're not you're not at all stay away from the
4:17
water stay away from things be supervised have a sober buddy yeah that's that's very smart yeah I can see
4:23
you like breaking into the song underwater I was so bummed because when
4:28
I was when I was tripping um on mushrooms out in the wilderness I really all I wanted to do
4:34
was like roll around on grass but there was only dirt and so was a little frustrated I just really wanted to like
4:39
get it all out and then I was like oh we go for a walk but I had just broken my toe that day so and I was like toe um I
4:47
didn't want to get my shoes wet because I didn't want to have to hike back in wet shoes cuz I have like those um
4:53
gnarly scrapes on my feet that are still healing so I'm like okay I have to you know be smart and I have to keep them
4:59
dress during my hike so I took them off and then I was getting know pat dry and then put the bandages back on and I stepped
5:07
in the water cuz we all you know we decided to go for a little swim at the end of the hike and I stepped on a rock
5:14
and it was very slippery with algae and you know all the the river stuff and I
5:20
slipped on and I slipped into a much larger rock rock a it hurts so bad and
5:27
like Peak pain it starts about like four hours in and then you know goes on for
5:33
however long and you had to hike back and I had to hike back luckily I have a very high pain threshold and I know how
5:40
to suck it up and put on a brave face so but it was actually really painful I I couldn't walk right it really hurt why
5:47
didn't Braden and his friend carry you that's what those young young men are for in case of emergency use the the
5:55
strong child I know I really should have thought about that but I was trying to you know trying to tough it up but they
6:01
they do look up to you so it's it's kind of hard you don't want to like can you he
6:07
me I'm like please help me I know you've known me since you were that but now that you're this you can handle it you
6:13
can actually put you to words they're actually him and his friend are actually going to do some yard work for me oh nice perfect I'm putting the the
6:19
youngans and all their muscle and energy to work oh nice give me their card yeah right exactly they can help you move no
6:26
they need summer jobs so yeah 100% available for higher nice child labor
6:33
yeah this has been a horrible start to the show like trafficking child labor all
6:42
Hot Topics here um how was Vegas Vegas was
6:48
great was it as cool as my trip I mean less injuries and less drugs probably
6:55
but um I still drink a lot more than I should oh
7:00
it was fun it was fun um I think the coolest part was being able to see a
7:05
bunch of Fighters that I'd usually be like you know like on guard with with my
7:11
guard down what was the difference just mushrooms no just just chilling just
7:17
vibing just enjoying being in at International fight week and you know
7:24
just enjoying the atmosphere and seeing what was going to happen with the fight
7:29
and you know there was just a lot of people there it was kind of like when we did that athlete Retreat um I forget
7:35
what year is it was like 2019 17 something like that something like that something like that but they had the
7:40
athlete Retreat where all the fighters were brought in seemed like a really bad idea Fighters are brought in I mean it
7:47
kind of was at some points some points it was but for the most part uh every person that I interacted with it was a
7:53
good interaction you know so so same thing happened with uh the fight week it's like a lot of people who like I had
8:00
IED on eyed at and not said anything to for a while I ended up actually saying
8:05
something to them and then they responded very kindly and I don't know it was just it was kind of nice to let
8:11
your guard down a bit and just be friendly very cool so it was fun um and
8:17
a lot of random stuff happened uh um I got to interview a lot of Fighters with
8:23
the serious uh fight Nation um when I was riding into the arena
8:30
I was writing with Justin gatei and he was like Hey can you keep a secret I'm
8:35
like yes what absolutely not tell [Music] us as I tweet as I live tweet this
8:44
conversation um and he's like Dan eay is filling in for Ortega and I'm like no
8:50
way at first I thought he said that he was filling in and I was like no you're not you're drinking a Stella like
8:59
he's like no his whisper voice is very whispery so he was like no Dan eay not me Dan eay and I'm like yo no way you're
9:07
[ __ ] with me and he's like would I lie to you like I don't really know you like that but it was a really great
9:14
moment you know so I had to I got to share a lot of like these little fun moments with different Fighters that I look up to and uh and the fights were
9:21
amazing too like I feel like I didn't really see what happened with the fights
9:27
that I was there live for m cuz you know how that happens you're getting a drink
9:32
you're talking to fans you're like running to your seat you're looking up and then you like look at some commotion
9:39
to the side and then you miss like the big oo happens yeah or the freaking cameraman's in your way so I felt like
9:47
uh I didn't get the best view of what was actually happening in the fights but it was still really fun experience
9:53
that's awesome I like hear that it's like uh it was one of those fun fight
9:59
not every fight night that you go to is fun um because we've been to so many but like the one that we went to in what was
10:07
it uh LA or Orange County Anaheim yes yes like that was like a very fun night
10:13
a lot of Random Encounters I got my Usman hat when we walked by Usman and
10:19
Francis and Gano and he was like trying to chat up Jess and I got a hat out of it you're welcome thanks Jess great wing
10:27
woman I know thank thanks thanks for the free gear but uh yeah it was like one of
10:32
those moments I love it yeah so uh what fight from 303 were you able to watch I
10:40
was able to watch I was able to watch most of them okay I missed and I can't obviously like
10:47
because they're not releasing because it was on the pay-per-view is I missed MVP and and uh G Ian Gary Ian Gary let me
10:55
tell you what happened tell me cuz I heard there's a lot of controversy but I have not seen oh is there I haven't seen
11:00
any of it I just heard there was controversy they thought that um MVP
11:07
should have gotten it okay so I I haven't seen it though well I have to see this is one of those fights I was on
11:13
my way to my seat when this fight was happening but when I was watching it live I kept thinking man he's he's
11:21
losing this fight like he's MVP is not doing enough to win this fight and I
11:28
felt that way when he had his back taken obviously but then there was there was
11:33
just a lot of moments where I felt like MVP was waiting a little too much and then Gary was just kind of doing his
11:40
thing just hopping in um being the aggressor but not really Landing
11:46
anything so I felt like MVP just had to make something happen a big moment
11:53
happened and that never happened in the fight interesting um so that's what I saw and I think also when you have a
11:59
fighter that people don't like it's easier to see that they lost a close
12:05
fight you're always going to lean towards oh I'm not really a fan of this fighter and the fight was close so I
12:12
think he lost and it's controversy that he won because I don't like The Fighter um I I watching it live I thought that
12:20
he was winning the fight Ian Gary was the only things that I read on the
12:25
internet were that at some point never read things there sometimes I do
12:32
you know sometimes I just like to it can't be trusted and then I go away and
12:37
then let it go cuz sometimes you know sometimes those trolls say say some funny things
12:44
sometimes they're pretty astute sometimes they are and sometimes they're way [ __ ] off yeah so what what were
12:50
they saying they were just saying that um Ian Gary didn't do enough with his
12:56
positioning and it was more stalling um but I didn't see it so I have I have
13:01
nothing to like grasp on to and comment on it right well
13:08
same a lot of it happened on the ground so I was just kind of watching them and
13:14
then watching the screen but I don't know I felt like he got the closest to finishing the fight he had that choking
13:20
really deep when he took uh MVPs back um he did some weird things too like at one
13:27
point it seemed like he pulled gu hard he just like kind of sat down and was like come at me bro interesting yeah so
13:34
it was it was a really strange fight and I'm less excited about Ian Gary the
13:43
grappler so so this was also the commenting uh that I heard after the
13:49
post fight press conferences they said please they they like him even less now
13:54
because of the way he's going on and on about his win and he's hyping himself up and he's
14:00
talking himself up they're like please stop well yeah because it wasn't a classic Ian Gary went I say classic even
14:07
though he just got here but the reason that people were so excited about him in
14:12
the first place is because he has dynamite in his hands now he's fighting a lot more cautious the better
14:19
competition he has the more cautious he fights and with the uh Jeff nil fight
14:25
and now with this one he has two back-to-back wins that could have gone either way that were very
14:33
unentertaining it's the GSP effect yeah because there I mean and fair enough I I
14:41
can kind of sympathize or empathize because you know you start climbing up
14:46
the ladder and you want to make sure that you're going to get where you want to go and secure that position yeah you
14:51
know for a title shot you want you want to do it in an exciting way but you you want to get there so
15:00
you're going to do whatever it takes MH and he seems very business-minded when he does interviews when he's uh
15:07
attempting to get under fan skin he's doing it very purposefully because he wants people tuning in for his fights he
15:13
wants people caring about what he's saying um well it's like Cookie Cutter Conor McGregor he sees that road and
15:20
he's trying to emulate it in my in my opinion well don't tell him that because
15:26
oh come on that that is definitely not what he's trying to do according to Ian
15:32
Gary uh but but he's doing a good job of making us pay attention and tune in
15:37
especially in the off chance that he might lose his next one I think uh the
15:42
more exciting matchup you give him the last exciting the fight's going to be so
15:47
maybe we should give him someone super boring
15:53
next like who could it be who could it be
15:59
we gotta look at the I like that song we go to look at the rankings but uh you know it it it was kind of a dud but I
16:06
feel like that was the only dud on the card MH uh the next one was Myro bua Silva versus uh Mac my pick Macy chass
16:16
well you're lucky that you pick or I'm lucky that you picked Jerry for the main
16:22
event I know and honestly like I did not think he was going to win but I thought it was his best chance and I was like
16:27
fine cuz it's so boring to pick pick the same people we need to do odds next time we need to do odds so we both pick odd
16:35
or we pick three different winners so there's a tiebreaker there you go yeah
16:40
but we did that last time and the one I don't know we won one lost one and then
16:47
I don't know something happened no we didn't okay so if we pick three different people then we'll be good yes
16:53
we got do that next time that's what we're going to do next time because I'm dying to make in Ortega
16:59
Lopez P colada that that sounds so
17:05
fun my version of it is different than yours so I'm excited yes what is your
17:10
version well I'm just going to make it up oh gosh I mean if you get to make it up said why well you still have to use
17:17
Ortega and Lopez that's fine okay there's just going to be you know some
17:22
extra bells and whistles oh God all right well can't wait see I if you don't
17:28
remember and if you haven't heard it on this podcast before I used to bartend oh
17:34
yes at a bikini bar yes at a bikini bar you got to serve it to me in a bikini oh I
17:40
will oh but yes uh the fight that you Pi how did you know that [ __ ] was going to
17:46
win I just had a feeling oh I just had a feeling tell us about that feeling well
17:54
I think she's been steadily improving herself and I think she's been really impressive with you know her range and
18:00
just how she mixes things up and how well-rounded she's becoming and after my
18:07
when Silva's last performance against Rael Pennington I felt like I just saw
18:14
some things that Macy Kon could capitalize on and she did yeah loss of
18:20
focus a little bit maybe who
18:26
knows try not to get yelled at again um um I agree but I felt like that was a
18:36
oneof or I felt like before this fight um not because of the weight cut well I
18:42
I felt that um Myra bua Silva not
18:48
performing well against Rael could just been because of the the circumstances
18:54
yeah for sure all that stuff the fact that it was a title fight and she had to
18:59
go five rounds and all this other stuff and it was a scrap it was a good scrap this one was um but it did seem like she
19:06
would have those big bursts that would usually get her the win and then it
19:12
didn't get her the win Macy was still in front of her still scrapping and she
19:17
would just sink you know what I mean did you see that too was there was like an energy dump after every big moment that
19:24
she had just because Macy was still standing in front of her of course that's that is very frustrating and and
19:30
it takes a little bit out of a fighter every time that happens if something doesn't work and then you have to kind of you know compose yourself you have to
19:37
get your energy back up and then you're going to try and explode again and and each time it just you don't recover as
19:44
well the next time and the next time the next time usually you well not usually but you you'd want to see a better poker
19:51
face so in between those moments and it felt like very obvious that after every
19:57
big exchange he just oh and back up into the fence and then allow Macy to get off on her um so I was
20:05
surprised that it ended the way it did though I thought we were going to get more back and forth maybe someone land
20:12
something big but I was surprised that Macy was able to slice her open with that elbow that was a nasty cut and I
20:19
know and I know she was complaining she didn't want it stopped but that was a very well-placed big slice that would
20:26
have obstructed her vision and probably would ripped open even more yeah so you you agree with the stoppage I do okay I
20:33
do and I know that that's you know probably not popular and I know that's not what she wanted and I completely
20:39
understand it and I can respect that she was arguing it however that thing was huge yeah it was nasty I I agree with it
20:47
too that thing you could almost see into her brain it was it was like what happened with you when you got your
20:53
third eye opened and and in the wilderness this same thing she could see
21:01
into Dimensions see all of them oh my God parallels and parallels oh all the
21:07
colors was beautiful someone needs to do an edit
21:12
where the elbow hits and just rainbows come out it's beautiful beauti look at
21:19
the Colors oh my God take me there yeah that was a that was a really nasty cut
21:24
and kudos to her for arguing it but that would have been a horror movie if they
21:32
allowed that fight to go on and Macy started jabbing that thing oh my gosh
21:37
and you I mean it's it's such a big Target yes you know of course it was her whole eyebrow it was and as soon as she
21:44
stood up and you know she was arguing it just started just started gushing like that's that's not it's not going to get
21:51
better the cut [Laughter] went I feel for her it's it's hard
21:57
coming off of a and to you know showcase what you've been working on and when and
22:03
you know kind of like erase that last one so I you know my heart goes out to her I I feel for her I do yeah it's just
22:11
you know really unfortunate where that placement was yeah yeah and Kos toy for finding it it's not uh often that
22:18
especially for females you're able to get a big gash like that from guard that was really impressive and part of it's
22:26
her frame right the fact that she has these when she bends her arm it's the same reach as a lot of girls we fight
22:34
yeah she she has a wingspan her arm bent is longer than Corey
22:39
McKenna leave Corey alone I'm telling I'm telling her and Molly Ms
22:46
but love you Molly I'm telling her too but that wingspan uh had to have had
22:54
something to do with the fact that she was able to place an elbow that normally you're not able to get a lot of damage
22:59
off of and I mean it was impressive too because my bua Silva has sound ground so
23:06
for her to feel comfortable enough and strong enough and secure enough to start striking from a closed guard against a
23:12
very dangerous Grappler I thought that was very impressive in itself as well yeah it shows the growth that you were
23:18
talking about good job Macy sorry I doubted you I'm telling her
23:23
too um the next fight on the card was uh who was that who would who would that um
23:31
we had Anthony Smith and Roman doce oh what' you think of that
23:37
one I I thought it could well I thought it could have gone one or two ways and so I did go with Anthony Smith because
23:43
he's a vet and you know sometimes my picks are you know strategic to be you
23:48
know aligned so I'm not losing too big and some of them are because I'm you
23:54
know the old the old dog in the fight and I want I want the old dogs in the fight to win you bet with your heart I
24:00
do I do to get me in trouble sometimes I don't yeah well I I actually thought
24:06
that he was the better fighter it wasn't just it wasn't just wishful thinking but
24:11
the thing is for the old person to look good the thing is sometimes he doesn't show up the way like I know he can do
24:19
you know what I mean and I don't know exactly what the difference is but sometimes he just doesn't do all that I
24:27
believe he can do that I've seen him do when he was Champion coming up into the championship belt and so it I just
24:35
didn't know it was almost kind of a coin toss for me yeah and it was kind of uh
24:40
the other weird thing about the fight was that uh a dozy he was coming up in
24:46
waight so you weren't really sure how big he was going to look against Anthony Smith if he was a going to be able to
24:53
compare with him strengthwise if his aggression would be the same with longer
24:58
guy because Anthony Smith's pretty long so a lot of those variables maybe think okay I think Smith should have his
25:05
number um especially because he comes in kind of wild too so for Smith to uh do
25:11
his thing kind of counter and wait for the opportunity to shoot and score I thought that he would be able to do that
25:17
but I thought that Roman would have a tough time getting past the range because he has traditionally as well but
25:25
he looked like he was able to you know just get past it and and nullify it a lot easier than I mean obviously he went
25:32
back to you know went back to school and started you know working on all the things that he needed to after his last
25:37
outing yeah yeah no it was good showing good showing I wonder if he if he tries
25:43
to stay there or if he's just comfortable popping in real quick to
25:48
save save the card help save the card I would go back down yeah right his his frame I'd say is better suited at 170 he
25:56
still looks small in there he does Anthony yeah yeah um next fight on the
26:02
card and one thing I want to point out when you look at the fight card there
26:08
are more cancelled fights than fights on the main
26:14
like you have Jamal Hill versus khil rry cancelled Conor McGregor versus Michael
26:19
Chandler cancelled Jamal Hill versus Carlos olber cancelled Anthony Smith
26:25
versus car Carlos olber cancelled and then the last one the most heartbreaking
26:32
Ortega versus Diego Lopez cancell what the hell I know this card
26:39
was cursed it it might have been the most cursed main card pay-per-view what
26:44
did what did somebody do to make it cursed like this you should have saged that Arena I should I feel like after
26:52
what was it after UFC 300 we were just kind of doomed ah yeah cuz it it went
26:57
okay right yeah it was just so good yeah it was like three cards in one you
27:04
know every like the early the prelims and the main could have been you know their own like everything could have
27:10
been a main event in that I think that we just used up all of our Good Ju guu
27:15
you know what the difference was they offered 300,000 for the fight a night
27:22
bonus the bonuses were all 300,000 damn that's what it was that everyone they
27:29
they wrapped themselves up in bubble wrap they took their pills they went on
27:34
their antibiotics early so they didn't get staff like everyone made sure that
27:40
they were on top of their health so they didn't miss out on that 300K I would have done the same
27:46
yeah see Dana [ __ ] up he should have said that in the press conference oh but how about uh homeboy uh who is it the
27:55
the guy the media guy who keeps uh suggesting to Dana during the press
28:01
conferences oh hey you should make it 300K this time oh hey you should give out six bonuses who's that this time he
28:09
said oh hold up I have it in my notes but this time he said to Dana you should
28:14
make the bonus 303k oh I heard that but I didn't realize that it was the same guy it was
28:20
the same guy he keeps trying to get us paid so uh wait well we like him I want to know name I want to send him
28:26
something we love him mushrooms in the mail I know what would we should uh slip
28:31
him little notes like hey ask for this ask for that say that instead of uh
28:39
50k bonus you get a new house I would love that yeah I gotta figure out who it was
28:47
but uh yeah dude oh Mike bone Mike bone is the guy thanks well I love him now
28:53
thanks Mike bone for saying bone right
29:00
um but yeah he keeps doing that and then he said the 303 thing and then Alex Pera
29:05
ended up getting a 303 bonus he doesn't need that though he does fine I mean
29:10
that I I do feel bad that no one else who got a Bonus got in 3K oh
29:16
what what about everybody else but he did do something ridiculously risky I
29:23
mean we're talking about Ian Gary [ __ ] in the bed against exciting fight ERS but still
29:30
winning but not taking risk Alex perea showed up on two weeks notice cut 22
29:37
pounds that's not the impressive part the impressive part that he was willing to put up his belt on the line with two
29:44
weeks to prepare for some guy who has been plotting his revenge since they
29:49
fought like that that's the really impressive thing and the fact that he was able to show up do that and put on a
29:56
clinic on two weeks notice like it's insane I am I wasn't like on the
30:03
bandwagon but now I am a full Rider no I'm I'm a huge fan I was extremely
30:11
excited about him coming into the UFC I'm not mad about his trajectory and how fast he's you know gotten these
30:17
opportunities I think it's welld deserved I think his body of work is so impressive it does worry me that he's
30:24
talking about going up to heavyweight because all the people in heavyweight are going to take him down they're all
30:31
wrestlers and and even if they're not wrestlers just going they're going to be yeah no they're going to be on fight
30:38
night they're going to be a wrestler hey but it's crazy I I think it's so
30:45
impressive what he's doing yeah it's it's he he's you know one of a kind he
30:51
is and he started pretty late you know he wasn't he didn't he wasn't born into Muay Thai he wasn't born into the kick
30:58
box insan he actually started in his uh in his 20s I believe like that that's
31:03
insane to have that amount of fights to have that amount of ability at his age
31:10
kudos to him and just like Zip right to the top of the line and hold it down not
31:16
zip up there and then hang out for two years keep the belt under his uh
31:23
fireplace not let anyone touch it he actually defended it popson short notice defends it why not yeah I love it yeah
31:30
it's really cool um so let's not talk about that fight yet um the next fight
31:36
on the card was not Diego Lopez versus Brian Ortega but
31:45
Diego Lopez versus Dan eay what three hours notice Dan eay he's my hero is the
31:52
biggest G in the UFC that is absolutely insane it the
31:59
biggest G like uh like I said the thing he got he got a house he got a car yes
32:05
he gets to use that plane anytime he wants he probably got 303 under the table he he's taxfree tax free brother
32:13
hope so don't worry don't worry right a season will uh will
32:18
cover we'll cover the taxes oh man that is impressive it's crazy so I was like
32:26
how did they make this happen happened but apparently they called him up they found out that Ortega was too sick to
32:32
fight they called him up um he like his
32:37
coaches figured it out they all met in different spots in Vegas went to the
32:43
arena and uh e was able to perform his physical I think uh the fact that he was
32:49
ranked at that weight class made it so that the weighin wasn't necessary um he probably had to weigh in at like 155 or
32:56
something or close to that um but yeah that was so crazy I don't think that's
33:02
ever happened not that soon not that quick no way yeah that that's got to be
33:09
a oneand done yeah I thought they said he waited at 165 though okay okay which
33:14
would make sense yeah that would make sense for but and I mean poor Diego Lopez what a gamer I know him too to go
33:21
from 45 to 55 to fighting at 165 at a catchweight yeah some random person some
33:29
random person he probably didn't expect to fight a hard hitter who's a harder fight I in my opinion um on short notice
33:38
because that guy is always game he's always down to fight he's he's a hard hitter like you said and I think he was
33:44
getting ready for something or yeah at the end of this month I believe yeah yeah so that that's a scary matchup and
33:51
uh Diego Lopez is a relatively new guy in the UFC so he's always going to be at
33:59
that um what do you call it that experience deficit even though he's had a ton of fights in the UFC at that high
34:06
level he's always going to be an experienced deficit now that he's cracking into the rankings so do you
34:13
think that he should keep with that trajectory or do you think he should try and get the smarter fights
34:19
because he is relatively new in MMA I mean for him because he's so exciting
34:25
because he's so explosive I think the more that he keeps people guessing the
34:31
better I don't mind the trajectory for him to keep fighting higher and higher it's just to do that on short notice
34:39
you're giving the edge to the veteran sure because they're going to have more experience of just switching things up
34:45
midf fight being able to adapt to things that aren't working that you thought would and Lopez is just kind of like one
34:52
gear he just goes forward he tries everything he resets he tries everything again um and that was a close fight like
35:00
there was some there were some sketchy moments where I was like oh eay man you're [ __ ]
35:07
G yeah yeah I I really hope that they do run the Lopez and Ortega fight back CU I
35:15
was really curious about what that would look like M um preferably both of them with full camps at 145 I would love to
35:24
see it you think Gorda is going back or he said he's going to 155 that's right so I guess we may not we may not ever
35:31
ever see that fight which I would have really liked to have seen it sorry Jess I know you never gonna see it again damn
35:37
much like arga is never GNA see his boo thing again oh that went far far away
35:44
and damn kind of ruined him I feel like she like did a number on him right maybe
35:51
but I mean he's I mean he's moved on he's you know back with his family no oh
35:58
did he have family before yeah he met her yeah he's got two kids and an ex I
36:05
didn't know that yeah and he got back with them dang yes he's on the he's on the path of uh rebuilding yes yes with
36:13
his uh church with his men's church a don't
36:19
make fun of it hey men have emotions they're allowed to show emotions and express themselves that's great
36:28
I love that men have a I feel like this is the type of church that preaches to
36:33
men that they don't need emotions oh really I don't know it it
36:39
was really the way that he explained it he said this is a church where men get
36:44
to be men and they don't have to worry about what other people say so that
36:50
makes me feel like they just want to be not pey
36:58
in front of a bunch of other guys be guys guys that and those guys don't have
37:03
emotions they don't cry they just kind of throw it up I figured it was one of
37:08
those places where like it's a safe space and you get to like go be with men
37:15
and bond and you know talk and share feelings and sometimes if you need to like scream and yell you know they have
37:21
a lot of those like Retreats for guys now where you can you know just go into the Wilderness and build things with
37:26
your hands and hunting fish chop wood he
37:31
definitely is there because of her well maybe [ __ ] them
37:38
up she [ __ ] them up yeah I mean maybe you let go of that
37:46
ass and now it's gone it's tough it's
37:52
tough that's just what he's crying about the whole time
37:58
you should have seen it like oh we see it on Instagram all the time free in person a it's like the
38:06
Grand Canyon doesn't look the same photos one of the wonders of the world
38:12
isn't it one of the Seven Wonders It is according to MMA uh MMA fans it's pretty
38:19
impressive I've seen it in person too rotun yes yes um glorious so uh I wonder
38:28
who Ortega is gonna get down with if he moves up to
38:34
155 well I did hear Dana White say that he wants Ortega to get his his head
38:39
right basically he says he he thinks that he's not in the best place to be fighting so when he gets to that place
38:45
they'll re-evaluate which I agree with I mean not knowing anything if
38:50
somebody is publicly like I mean you have uh uh what's his name um the Box
38:57
boxer Ryan Ryan Garcia Garcia who's been um kicked out
39:03
of the boxing basically kicked out of boxing he's kicked out of the boxed out of boxing
39:10
yeah what the [ __ ] man for for racial slurs the organization does not tolerate that so he was kicked out but it's also
39:17
a mental health thing if he's doing things that stupid there's obviously
39:23
something wrong with them yeah lead up to the fight was a circus and after the fight it's
39:31
been it's been the same so I nonstop yeah so yeah yeah and ortea definitely
39:37
seems a little off now compared to before and
39:43
then was it his church guy or his preach Pastor or something who was on in the
39:49
embedded and he had the tape over his mouth and he's doing like I missed that episode cardio with tape over his mouth
39:56
that's kind of like a a weird um like new thing that people have been doing
40:02
like back in the day like 10 years ago they invented the training mask to simulate you know this um it's also it's
40:09
supposed to be almost like high altitude which it's not high altitude yeah they ended up debunking it but the idea was
40:15
that you can Ser you can do a hard workout with less oxygen that you normally are do and they've been saying
40:22
that um so I've I've been given the tape and I cannot breathe through my nose as it is is like I'm I I can't same with me
40:31
in springtime yeah no no no my I do not breathe well out of my nose at all I
40:37
always have sinus issues all the time yeah so if you put this tape over mouth like I'll die so I'm I'm not one of
40:44
those like tape on the mouth people but they were hand they've handed it out at like strength and conditioning sessions
40:49
that I've been to they've done all these things to try and get people to breathe through their nose because they're saying that breathing through your nose
40:56
is more efficient for you know cardiovascular uh output or you know for
41:02
your body to you know get rid of lactic acid there's all this like scientific stuff about it but none of it has
41:09
actually been proven so I just think it's very like hinky and new wave and
41:14
you're like I can take it or leave it show me the studies and then I'll Sprints are hard enough yeah with oh my
41:22
God Sprints with tape on my mouth i' i' yeah throwe make duck exactly no I
41:30
would just open my mouth like I don't the tape would not hold this
41:39
duck yeah but it is a thing okay it is a thing and I mean it's you know I don't
41:45
think it's proven okay see I was watching that and I'm over there thinking about um poor Diego Sanchez and
41:52
his nut job of a coach oh and I'm like oh God they got a another one of us but
41:59
I'm happy to hear that that's more of a normal thing than I've assumed it's not something I'm buying into no no people
42:07
can try and let me know how it goes and even if it goes great I'm not doing
42:12
it I'll die we're adults just because you tell us to do it
42:17
doesn't mean we're going to I'm way too rebellious for that yeah no it's interesting he said the um the
42:24
head thing getting his head straight and wonder what us saw that specifically that made him uh jump to that conclusion
42:31
but I feel like uh I don't know you can you can see a change in a fighter a lot of times sometimes they're coming in
42:38
they're they're excited they're they're speaking clearly everything makes sense
42:44
and then next time they come in they sound a little Punchy or just a little
42:49
um out there not really communicating in the same way and
42:57
yeah you never know what's going on with them there's a lot of uh mental health issues in MMA there's a lot of uh I
43:05
don't know just uh things that people don't like talking about because it
43:10
doesn't make you a tough and may fighter which is maybe why he felt the need to go to a men's Retreat you know you get
43:17
to let that stuff out but um yeah I wonder I wonder what that was that he picked up on that he was just like yeah
43:24
this guy's not ready to fight it could be the weight cut too it could have just been and the fact that he signed a contract that he obviously couldn't
43:30
uphold mhm and it could be and I I appreciate and respect that you know our
43:36
our boss man cares you know to an extent he cared enough to give me a
43:41
ticket that's nice I didn't get a ticket thanks I didn't I tried to get an extra one he was like no you can get two to
43:48
power slap tell me about power slap power slap was
43:54
fun van zance bued so I was mad oh as
44:01
soon as I watched the first Power slap match because I was into it stop it and
44:10
Angela I've talked so much [ __ ] I can't with you stop it right now I'm I'm upset I'm
44:17
talking so much [ __ ] about power SL but it's like when you walk into one of
44:23
those Regional MMA shows and you have Pudge versus
44:30
fudge like one's 400 lb one's 500 lb and they fight each other and it's literally
44:37
5 Seconds of action and you're like this is amazing that's kind of what it felt like Angela no it just touches on all
44:45
the Primitive disgusting things that people are into is it's basically ow my
44:52
balls from uh idiocracy like that's that's basically what it is but but they
44:57
did what they could to make it look like a sport so they have like the beginning
45:03
the beginning uh coin toss then they have their little their little power
45:09
slap cushion that the person has to hold on to behind their back to make sure
45:15
they don't block the slap then they allow them to you guys hearing
45:21
this no there's rules to this I didn't think there was rules I thought the Only Rule was don't lch and get slapped like
45:29
that's that's what I thought but they actually tried to make it look like a sport and when I saw the crowd there how
45:37
many people were there I was so disappointed it was like an invict like more than an invictor card like it was
45:44
it was like cuz you know they have that little arena in Kansas City it was packed like a Stadium seats up to the I
45:53
forget which which uh the font blue they have like a little uh theater there and
45:59
then the entire thing was packed wow yeah I was in VIP VIP wasn't as packed
46:05
of course you weren't but the bleachers were or the the nose bleeds were
46:11
definitely filled to the brim so I was just like man Vegas is
46:17
trash Vegas is trash and Dana is giving this trash exactly what they
46:22
deserve more trash and I [ __ ] loved it like stop it I know oh my God I'm so
46:29
embarrassed I'm so embarrassed it looks it like in person it makes more sense than the clips okay like in person they
46:37
have like a whole procedure to it it looks like a weird uh like I don't know
46:43
ritual or something it it was really strange but I am a huge fan of dumpling he's my
46:53
favorite Power slapper I can't name is dumpling he's
46:58
from Russia stop stop it did you get one of his shirts you did
47:05
didn't you did didn't you but next you tried to fight somebody when they were like had that little t-shirt gun didn't
47:11
you you jumped over them didn't you maybe maybe that should be a next betet
47:17
whoever whoever loses has to buy buy the other person of what's his name dumplin
47:23
shirt oh my God but Paige is like surprisingly good at it so I feel
47:31
like especially with MMA female MMA fighters we have a uh High pain
47:39
tolerance like you were saying with your broken toe and we know how to clinch we know how to like step in the neck we
47:45
know how to twerk with our punches so female MMA fighters will actually thrive
47:51
in this because I think a lot of girls don't understand how to not knock out or
47:57
not get knocked out so that whole okay you got to take the take the hit without
48:03
blocking I don't think Paige took any damage she ate three slaps three hard slaps and was just
48:10
like and she slapped the [ __ ] out of the girl and made her drop down to her knee Dam yeah you know I asked Dana when it
48:18
first came out or when it was like first being developed and you know becoming popular I asked I was like can MMA
48:23
fighters can UFC fighters do it and he said yeah absolutely yeah but then uh that one guy who I think it was Eric
48:30
spicely he thought about doing it and they offered him like two and two or something oh but you know Paige is
48:37
getting paid a lot more than that she got paid way more and she deserves it she has a huge name I mean I think that's why the arena was packed the one
48:44
that was at the theater was packed for that for sure she was definitely part of it everyone in my section was rooting
48:49
for Paige so yeah yeah she probably brought him in she definitely did so were there weight classes for that
48:57
I believe so uh but I think they're a rangy weight class like Paige looked a
49:04
little bigger than the girl but I'm not sure if they weighed in or anything I don't know I didn't pay that
49:12
much attention I I stayed for a dumpling and page and then booked it but that was
49:19
enough that's all I needed to see and now she's hooked and now I'm hooked I'll go for dumpling and pagee only oh my
49:27
gosh watch that so we didn't talk about the main event uh which we should do right now before we get into our
49:34
exclusive members early content oh if you're have you joined yet you
49:41

49:47
the regular schlubs on this page make sure you go hit the join button it's
49:52
only $2 well not even .99 yeah it's cheap super cheap but anyway um before
49:59
we get to that we should talk about the main event shall we
50:07
gone do I'm GNA oh speaking of do gu did you
50:13
make friends are you besties now are you following each other yeah we I mean I think we're on our way so that was one
50:20
of the people I was talking about so I think when Dana gave me a seat at UFC
50:27
303 he gave me one of Claudia gel's seats because I was sitting right next
50:34
to her and um all my friends know that me and Claudia gelia we haven't really
50:41
spoken since the uh I mean we didn't speak before but after we fought she
50:47
just kind of avoided eye contact a lot never never really looked my way and I kind of wanted to see how long it would
50:54
last and then finally this this is when do we fight 2020 finally four years
51:00
later you know what girls have a long cooling off period it's just how it is I was
51:06
always ready to accept a hello but I didn't go first so maybe it was my fault
51:12
too maybe I should have met her halfway but I would literally like peer at her
51:19
like and try to look inviting and then she' just I remember running into her at the
51:26
pi with you and there was just this weird awkwardness she she Mr muo her way around me like I'm not there it's really
51:32
weird yeah it's okay it's like uh there's a green screen and I'm wearing a green suit she's like females are very
51:39
different than male Fighters like male Fighters can beat the crap out of each other and then like go have a beer and
51:46
it's it's not like that with most female Fighters but I'm like
51:51
that I am she's so lovable I'm like that but but at the same same time I get it
51:57
like I get when you're just kind of like [ __ ] you so so now you're besties so now we're
52:04
besty so we were sitting we're our seats were assigned next to each other uh I got there first and then she came up and
52:12
I was looking fly I felt like that had something to do with it I had a little cute shirt on my makeup done I was
52:18
looking all cute by myself and uh she came up and and I was like
52:24
hello so I feel like if I had said hello all those times before then that would have happened a lot sooner but I made it
52:31
comfortable for her to ignore me by not saying hello and just staring at her like a weirdo so this time I said hi and
52:38
she said oh hello hi oh you look so pretty I was like oh thank you you look
52:44
pretty and now we're besties a so there you go that's all it took beef squash just tell a girl she's
52:51
pretty and she won't care about all all the other [ __ ] all forgiven
52:57
but um yes do it the do it comes from when she was on the
53:02
show yeah she would say that or no I think it was just one clip that she it
53:07
was just one clip that repeated throughout the whole season and it was hilarious yeah yeah
53:14
door so it's one of my catchphrases now stolen from Claudia um but yeah D tell
53:21
us about the main event what' you think um well I was not surprised how it
53:28
turned even though I did pick Jerry to to win I you know I I thought it was his
53:35
best opportunity you know if it was going to happen it was going to happen yeah that night it it did not um but it
53:43
was impressive how he tried he did try he
53:48
did he really did and I mean for for all of his efforts you know baa was just
53:56
that much much ahead of him right he just hits so hard he is it's crazy
54:02
because it's such Jerry is is a very dangerous fighter and both fights he
54:07
fought him the same way he waited he took in everything he got his timing and
54:14
then the second round is you know when he started to go in for the kill yeah
54:20
and in the first round I think that's when Jerry was most dangerous in in the first fight so
54:27
it's it's just so impressive what that had did it really is it's so impressive
54:33
uh a lot of people were thinking that uh Jerry was winning the second round in
54:38
the first fight until he got knocked out yes but from what I saw he pz just had
54:45
his number then like winning by pressure not winning by scoring damaging shots
54:51
you know well he was able to pressure him to get the cage he was able to take him down MH and
54:57
P like he was he was patient and calm but he was there was no urgency to get up off the ground yeah it almost looked
55:03
like he didn't have the tools to be honest yeah but he he's much improved
55:09
he's you know fast learning curve you know thanks to GL Tex sh I know well
55:14
yeah I think I think he popped up pretty fast in the first fight but the fact that uh Jerry was able to get him down
55:22
was kind of wild because you don't usually see him going for the take down right away and
55:28
uh yeah in this fight he didn't even get close mm like he there there was a
55:34
little success in the back and forth kind of pitter patter and filling out of the fight but there were no big moments
55:43
like we were talking about earlier with Ian Gary one and then out of nowhere padaa lands this huge head kick lead
55:50
hook well at at the end of the first round and then huge head kick right at
55:56
the bell of the second round like oh my God because everyone was still reacting to the hook and like everyone's like oh
56:03
my god did you see that oh my God what's gonna happen no he was Saved by the Bell he was Saved by the Bell and then First
56:10
Strike that's thrown at the beginning of the second round boom drop the drop was
56:15
so nasty it really was and I think that hopefully these two fights will be a
56:23
good learning experience for Jerry I think that there's some I think there's a lot of strength and and power and
56:28
succcess in how unorthodox he is but he leaves himself very open to dangerous
56:34
opponents like P and that's the a way that it could have gone with someone who
56:39
gets that trajectory that P has gotten sure you can come out and just freak
56:46
people out and people don't know how to deal with you they can't really get time to assess your timing and your skill set
56:53
and everything because they're too busy getting hit by you and you get a bunch of Knockouts you get to the top but the
57:00
difference between him and uh in Pera is that he was able to continue to grow
57:07
continue to change his style and Jerry I feel like kind of
57:12
plateaued at the top though which is still super impressive but he's kind of
57:17
plateaued and this is his style he is a damaged sponge that can deliver twice as
57:23
much damage back to you and if you're able to get out of the way if you're able to see it coming then you can beat
57:29
them up that's just a style like that's just not sustainable MH longevity wise
57:35
but at the same time uh look at how he did against uh racking sure like he destroyed him he did so this is a style
57:43
that's going to beat a lot of the top guys but maybe not beat the very top guys yeah or enough yeah but uh also he
57:52
