0:13
detangle my twist oh how long did that take [ __ ] forever how many hours are
0:19
we talking a few like at least four damn
0:24
I know it's just it's like really Tangled and when I'm in fight camp I
0:30
don't have time to like do it all in one sitting so it gets more
0:36
Tangled I had KN my ha this morning and I just ripped it out hey there you go I
0:41
got plenty to spare yeah that's the beauty of being a white girl so much hair to go
0:48
around I have to cherish every strand I have because it's not coming back for a
0:56
long time when it comes out of my head and we're back what's up everyone hey
1:04
guys it's us two straws or should I say four
1:11
THS that's what keeps bringing them back you know yeah don't listen to what we're saying just look at the legs yes look at
1:18
them go and press that join button yeah there you go press the join button
1:23
Jess how crazy was Yos Perth holy [ __ ]
1:30
UFC 305 H man what a roller coaster of
1:36
emotions I cannot believe what happened I can I mean you called it with the
1:42
Leanback thing um I was worried about dup's wrestling at aagna and he was able
1:51
to do both of those things and really just win a fight that he was it looked
1:57
like he was almost out of there like for second and the third or was it a fourth
2:02
and the fourth it looked like he was almost out of there and he just like did all the things that we were worried
2:08
about for out yeah it was um I I got to say I kind of I became a fan and and
2:15
appreciated drus in this fight um the the way he fought and um his his postf
2:22
fight um kind of like mending that he did I really appreciated I thought it
2:28
was um it gets necessary to kind of just to kind of seal it you got some
2:35
apologizing to do buddy um but I I was just really impressed um I've always
2:41
kind of looked at him and been like I I don't understand how he keeps winning
2:47
because his his rhythm um his just everything it's just not pretty but I
2:53
think we're seeing more and more that in MMA it doesn't have to be pretty it can be it can be a bit chaotic it can be a
3:00
bit brish it can be um you know whatever it it gets to look like there's no
3:05
there's no rule to it anymore um is what I'm seeing in the sports Evolution and he was giving Izzy a hard
3:12
time I mean he's given everybody repeatedly a hard time it's okay it's okay go
3:18
back I can crisscross the other way a lot it's a lot of foot
3:24
fondal but his his forward pressure his power um just the way he puts everything
3:30
together works so well for him and yeah we saw in the third round Iz he kind of stepping forward and thinking that maybe
3:37
the tides were going to turn but in in the fourth you know he got the finish
3:42
and he did it in a way that um that it was just building upon the whole fight
3:49
yeah I I think um he had like a really strong second round and that was when I
3:55
was first thinking oh man I don't know if AIS is prepared for this type of attack but then in the third and the
4:02
fourth he looked a bit Gass it looked like he didn't have the energy to keep going with that wrestling strong game
4:08
plan that he had and his wrestling like it's not just a striking it's tackle
4:14
that looks ugly yeah his wrestling is so ugly and if anything uh we learned a lot
4:22
about Adis is uh wrestling defense too there's a lot to be look worked on
4:29
there's a lot of of um small errors that he was making in that round that led to
4:34
thees getting to that position in the fourth and when he hit him with that kind of Step through overhand that he
4:42
kept Landing I feel like it was hurting Adisa even in the rounds that he was winning
4:48
there were a lot of moments where um Adisa uh kind of got hit and kept
4:53
getting the top of the head like it never really got to Chin but that top of the head is its own knockout button we
5:00
just usually see it with head kicks but dupes is a big solid piece of meat like
5:07
he is just hulking when he's in there and even though Adisa is super tall
5:13
super linky when you're able to reach a tall guy like that and hit him somewhere where he's not really blocking and that
5:20
was the top of the head for adaga it took maybe three or four to start seeing
5:26
him get wobbled like there were a couple of times where because of where it landed you didn't think that he was
5:32
getting dropped but he would fall over he would lose his balance you knew that
5:38
something was happening to his equilibrium because of that big loop and punch that would land on the top of his
5:44
head and then in the fourth it finally hit him Square you know it finally hit
5:50
him Square was just a little too much made him turn around made him uh kind of second guess it looked like he second
5:56
guessed where the hands were going to be cuz at first we were just like like put your hands
6:01
up but uh but it looked like he thought dupes was going to get the body lock he
6:07
drops his hands and then gets punched in the face again and that was like a really good job um by duples just mixing
6:14
up his his wrestling attacks with his striking attacks and just really keeping
6:20
adna guessing when it came to the clinch and the wrestling and yeah it was it was
6:26
a really good dismantling of someone who needs that space who needs to be uh Kind
6:33
of Perfect in his striking um dupa just said nah I'm GNA make it ugly and we're
6:39
seeing the era of ugly striking like you said like look at balow we had Strickland before now we have uh drus so
6:47
you don't need to be a Kung Fu Master you don't need to be a K1 Global Like A
6:53
Champion in order to get these crazy Knockouts in order to be a successful striker in MMA all you have to do is be
7:00
able to put it all together um what I'm seeing as what you were saying is uh
7:05
it's it's commitment it's commitment it's self-belief yeah and it's it's just
7:11
being so uh pressure forward and committed to the game plan and the
7:17
intent behind all of your of your strikes all of your takeown attempts that's what's winning these fights and
7:24
um yeah I I was um watching this fight and I just had to sit back and like really appreciate his body of work that
7:30
he was doing mhm yeah commitment is a good word for it CU he committed to that ankle I was like how did you let that
7:38
happen how did that work it's unexpected how did that work it worked it's
7:44
unexpected and then uh Adisa was having trouble committing to a lot of things
7:50
like um the the body work really started working for him the the um punches to
7:57
the gut the stab kicks to the belly like those were the things that were getting
8:02
the most reaction um not the punches to the head but everything that he was Landing to the guts and then you would
8:08
see him faint the knee you would see him like think about throwing things and not throw it and he was in a perfect
8:14
position to throw it like when dras would kind of shell up like that he would be in that perfect position but I
8:22
think because of you know just the punches that he had already eaten feeling his power knowing that he's
8:28
tough he didn't want to take the risk of opening up to throw something big and
8:33
meanwhile drus is opening up anytime he wants like just you know throwing a
8:41
c and it works it really works if you just believe in your own uh abilities
8:48
believe in your own power and your style and no one can tell you otherwise M what
8:54
did you think about the post fight pressor when they're talking about phara
9:00
stepping in and and chiming in about wanting to go back down and Jake is saying like no no no you take care of
9:06
what you're doing excuse me up at heavy weight oh uh
9:11
oh uh oh see that's why I didn't want to eat my sandwich oh I don't know what happened
9:18
spit it's still happening delicious spit I didn't uh I didn't see that part
9:25
actually the so Pera was like hey I want to have fun I'm bored with my khil Round
9:33
Tree matchup and you guys look like you're having all the fun down there let me jump in yeah he said let me take care
9:39
of this I'll come back down and he said no no no you take care of what you're
9:44
doing after you're done and after I'm done with Strickland I'll come up to you because I don't want your cutting weight
9:51
to be an excuse so I'll I'll see you at light
9:56
heavyweight of course he said no of course of course he said take your
10:02
time Alex P well he said he's coming up to him it wasn't it wasn't a Dodge it
10:08
wasn't saying like oh no no it was saying like no so you don't have any leg to stand on For Me Knocking you out for
10:14
me you know out uh outing you I'll come up to you to light heavyweight okay yeah
10:21
so I was actually like okay I mean coming up is always kind of
10:27
a I I always feel like you're not taking as much of a risk when you come up
10:32
because you get to keep your belt like that's that's always the thing that I think about when when someone wants to
10:39
come up and you always have the excuse of being the small person he the excuse now he has the excuse but I don't think
10:44
he's going to be that small he's a huge guy he cuts a ton of weight yeah but people will still say Alex P cut 22
10:52
pounds in a week and Dr sues walks around it that way you know like they'll
10:57
they'll they'll still make that narrative there will always be a spin yeah so there's always going to be a built-in excuse for whoever does
11:04
whatever takes whatever risk um but yeah that'd be fun i' I'd watch it here for
11:11
it watch I'd definitely watch it um yeah I I just wonder who's going to
11:18
be next for drus so they're saying Strickland for sure is next yes for sure
11:24
yes says who Dana yes okay I didn't any of the post fight
11:30
presses but M but there's always there's always that possibility that comat
11:36
Whitaker winner could be so impressive that maybe he jumps the line you never know with the UFC but as far
11:44
as my understanding is at this point Strickland has that spot next okay I do
11:49
feel horrible for this I can't like no space I do feel horrible for um
11:57
for like anev and and all the guys at the top waiting at 205 yeah waiting to
12:03
fight Pera and like J is is like I'm next I don't I don't know that he'll be
12:11
fast-tracked unless they see it as a big money maker which I see that it possibly could be uh but I think people are already
12:19
frustrated with the fact that khil rry jumped the line ahead of of everyone but
12:24
you have to you have to kind of think you know the performance of on and Enclave it was just such a lackluster
12:31
fight I don't think they're excited to make that fight happen yeah but it still
12:38
has to does it and for the sake of a
12:43
legitimate sport for that but again we're in an entertainment sport so this
12:49
is where it gets a little tricky and um you know blocks can move in weird ways
12:56
because we are in the entertainment business yeah but like that was the one
13:02
fight that was lackluster of his other others were a lot more I know right is
13:08
was very uncomfortable up here the other fights were more impressive it's just
13:13
the one where the belt was on the line it was just kind of a weird one and it
13:18
felt like anev won but against Yan but like it ended up being a draw and now
13:26
he's never going to get that opportunity again it it's tragic if that if that's the case but this is I think what I've
13:34
I've seen previously is that you don't have to be ranked in the top five you don't have to
13:40
necessarily be um you know the number one Contender to get a title shot yeah I mean that's
13:48
what we're seeing now now more than ever I think there was
13:54
definitely a time um recently where it seemed like only the top five were
13:59
getting shots and now we're veering away from that it's the needle movers and it used to be that way just default just
14:07
like somebody comes into the UFC gets a knockout oh why don't you fight innon
14:12
Silva you know like that's what it used to be like and then we went to this ranking system where people had to earn
14:19
their way to the top um you get a lot of the champ gets a lot of tape on whoever the top contenders are and now we're
14:25
kind of sliding back to you know before time it's all Conor McGregor is doing oh
14:31
you think so yes I mean they G the ranking system for Conor McGregor to work his way to the top exactly like I
14:38
remember when uh was was it Dennis civer he was not ranked and then right before
14:45
they fought he was like number 13 like oh he's number 13 where did you come from how do we not realize this before
14:51
you where did you come from sir before you were match to fight Connor McGregor we didn't know that that's yeah that's
14:56
exactly what I'm talking about now we see your worth and and they do it with certain people I think that that test
15:03
well within like popularity yeah I'm just I'm just saying
15:08
that uh you know when it comes to people earning their spots you still have to
15:15
acknowledge that and you still have to give give those people the
15:21
uh you still have to give him the opportunity like maged anev he's eight
15:26
one and one 18 sorry 18 one in one like that's ridiculous that he
15:33
hasn't gotten and when was his last fight his last fight was uh Johnny
15:41
Walker [Music] at is that at the Apex January January
15:47
13th yeah [Music] night I can't see
15:55
how hold on yes he knocked him out with
16:02
punches that's exciting knocking out Johnny Walker as a
16:08
Grappler that's exciting man like I don't know I think uh I think they see what a superstar uh Alex P is and
16:16
magamed anev is his biggest threat for sure so they're gonna go down the line
16:22
all the way down to number eight khil round tree and give him a chance
16:29
so yeah I'm just saying feel bad for them even Vulcan Vulcan uh we were
16:35
talking about him getting the shot next after his fight and he also beat Johnny
16:42
Walker I'm noticing a pattern but uh he's been ranked above
16:49
khil for a while too and uh yeah I it's just uh interesting that they went all
16:54
the way down the line there did you see like uh what the reasoning was for that I haven't seen any reason huh I have not
17:02
seen any reason I'm it just kind of in my mind as as a fan and a fighter it
17:08
kind of came out of nowhere yeah so it was just it was very um unsuspecting I
17:15
would not I would not have thought that that would be the match up to make no but here we are here we are uh yeah
17:24
I'm just looking at all the other guys but good for khil because he's been on a tear he's um 5 and 0 in his last five
17:32
fights so it's a big deal for him but also earned um when it comes to fan
17:39
favorites when it comes to exciting fights the potential of this being like a crazy matchup and then if they are
17:45
trying to do UFC South Africa then the
17:51
dupes versus padaa one would line up perfectly would fit very nicely into that slot if he gets past k
17:59
which they're hoping I think that's what they're Bing on which is the the whole plan I because he's an exciting fighter
18:06
he's heavy hitting he is always coming in shape well yes he's always coming in
18:13
shape but um he doesn't show the takedown yeah threat he doesn't have the
18:19
ground game that will put p on his back and take him out of you know potentially
18:26
being strong in the fight MH yeah he's going to fight in the place where we know we're going to get a lot of a lot
18:34
of people excited about it yeah um yeah so that's interesting anything else
18:40
happened with the with the uh post fight on that fight on the main card the Izzy
18:47
I saw uh little cute moments between them where like uh he gave out sign of
18:53
the jacket and they seem very respectful and then for a second I thought Adis was
19:00
going to retire like he did the whole theatrics of taking his gloves off he uh
19:06
when they did the postf fight speech in the Octagon he was like well you know
19:11
I'm 35 I feel like he didn't sell it the way that he was thinking he was but but
19:18
in my head I'm like oh where's his gloves wiring his gloves on what is he doing oh now he's talking about his age
19:24
like what is going on and then he said I'm not going anywhere so at that rehearsed I thought that was I mean I
19:30
don't know if he rehearsed losing well I don't know if he rehearsed that
19:37
but at least you know he had a good improv with the whole acting of it but
19:45
um yeah I think I think that shows that he still loves the sport I'm wondering
19:52
how long he's going to stick around now after losing the bell at to Strickland
19:58
after not being able to have a big comeback like he has done in the past
20:03
like it makes me wonder what the next steps are for [ __ ] well for me I think Adonia loves loves the drama the buildup
20:10
the storyline so I think this is a perfect opportunity for him to you know start building himself back up and I
20:18
think that it'll be interesting who they match him up with I've if I remember
20:23
clearly they were saying that he wants to get right back in there it's just kind of who are they going to m him up
20:29
with can you hear me too yes I can I can hear everything you do with your mouth when you like scratch the roof of your
20:35
mouth oh really oh yeah it's so loud I haven't heard it in the um in the
20:41
podcast but maybe I'm not listening for it now us to
20:47
noises [ __ ] Adam gave me a sandwich right before and now I feel so guilty
20:53
eting you want half no I'm not hungry
20:59
you sure I'm sure I'm sorry okay um let's move on because this
21:07
fight is making me sad oh I love me somea it's just like
21:15
little little things that I feel like weren't focused on as much and maybe it
21:20
was the surprise Factor but little things in the grappling apartment I feel like weren't focused on as much like
21:27
maybe he doesn't have people who can hold him down maybe people maybe he's so
21:32
used to the way that his training Partners attack that he's found ways around him but then when you get someone
21:39
who is just kind of a wild card like thees you don't know what's going on down there you know like how did you
21:45
how'd you get on my ankle why am I falling over why you know like little little moments there where it felt
21:53
like you know simple wrestling could have gotten
21:59
him out of those tough spots but maybe the pressure maybe just the the weight
22:05
of the moment like things like that were stopping him from reacting right away I
22:12
thought I mean for somebody who I know as being such a dominant Striker and who
22:17
does have a big gap to fill in the grappling area I thought he did well with getting back up you know in those
22:24
moments and some of those takedowns like they were kind of shocking to watch so they're not those they're not those
22:30
takedowns that you like train any training partner would would throw at you in certain ways now the the big
22:37
blast doubles yeah he he wasn't able to get his hips back but I think that just
22:42
goes to the the power and um the
22:50
surprising timing of of driss M I think it goes to that but I didn't think Izzy
22:56
did terrible in the grappling I think in this fight I saw I saw his progression
23:02
no it it ended up being his downfall for sure but I thought as I've seen him
23:09
perform as you know um defensive grappling in the past I thought I thought he did okay well I just think
23:16
about like his Gaston fight his Brunson fight like fights where I'm like oh for sure this guy's going to be able to get
23:22
him down and he just was his anti- wrestling was so
23:28
levels above and then when you get to this fight um it just looked like maybe
23:35
he didn't expect it so maybe he wasn't as fresh as he was when training for someone like Derek Brunson who he knew
23:41
that was the game plan like maybe he just didn't think that drias would have the skills to get him down and then in
23:48
fact he didn't need him sure you he just used
23:54
his body he just threw his body at him and got him down but uh yeah it's just
24:00
um I think I think there's uh a lot to work with off of that and hopefully
24:05
he'll be able to bounce back and have some things to keep them keep them interested in the game sure I mean I
24:12
think it float away from us yeah I think it will all be an amazing story and journey to
24:17
watch um the comain was pretty exciting too ooh Kara France after a 14-month
24:27
layoff he know and then and then you have um IG coming off of you know a
24:32
title fight I thought that this you know definitely has title implications in mind so it's um it's
24:40
really cool that Kara France wanted to get right back up in the mix and it was um really impressive initially how IG
24:46
was controlling the distance and he would step back make Kara France's mix
24:51
and then you know counter with a one two he he looked like in control of the
24:56
range but Kar front just uh ended up making that adjustment and following up
25:02
with that big overhand and uh and put nsing out yeah he um he was doing like a
25:09
nice little step through kind of like what dessis was doing and whenever you have um a taller kind of lankier guy who
25:17
can who tries to evade by moving backwards that's kind of what uh ERS and
25:23
Adis were doing where they were moving backwards and trying to bring their head out it away but one thing you learn like
25:31
maybe more so in like Muay Thai or boxing when you move backwards eventually you're going to hit the ropes
25:38
and bounce back forward and then you're going to run out of space to get out of the way uh same thing in MMA if you move
25:43
straight back eventually if your opponent is aggressive enough and is
25:49
going to you know keep coming forward with punches eventually one's going to land and that's what Kai carrons did
25:55
with dupes it was like five punches but Kai only needed like two you he only
26:02
needed two and he was able to find that Mark and hit IG it was really nice to
26:08
see you saw him throw it a couple of times earlier in the round um and then once he finally got his range he was
26:15
just able to smash uh poor Steve ersc on chin and you know I we make a lot of fun
26:22
of you know how bland he looks and how just kind of Average Joe he looks but he
26:29
had so much emotion on his face after that knockout
26:35
like if if there was a picture of dang it in the dictionary that would be Steve
26:42
ig's face after that like he was just like you know and it broke my heart it
26:49
really did it broke my heart and there was there was a lot of respect between those guys the entire time and but
26:55
especially afterwards um huge comeback from Kai carons um it was a great fight I thought
27:04
so too I thought you know both men were respectful which I I like watching I know people are really into the drama
27:10
and the theatrics but I I really appreciate when people can be you know classy competitors dude how old is Kai
27:17
car France Kar France I think he's early 30s which he looks like a child to me he
27:26
looks like a a a freaking 12-year-old and the funny thing isn't he like a
27:31
father of two now when especially after he gets his
27:36
little haircut he reminds me of um the character in this uh this video game
27:44
called bully and uh yeah he just looks like
27:50
yeah he looks like a bad little kid right he looks like the bully the guy from bully it's uh yeah every time I see
27:58
I always think of that because he always has the bully haircut and he looks 12 but that kicking freaking hit and I
28:07
actually picked him to win that was my only pick that won but I actually picked him to win and
28:13
that was probably the most risky pick of the night because of urich's rise and
28:22
Kai coming off of a bunch of uh big losses in the past but against very
28:27
tough oppon opponents I just felt like because of the way he's performed in the past because of you know the amount of
28:35
experience he's had already he was going to be able to one up ersc because the only person people who have beat Kai are
28:42
former Champions so I was pretty I felt pretty strongly about that even though
28:47
it wasn't really a a popular pick and ended up being the right one I mean I think he's a fighter that I would I
28:54
would definitely pick because he has that that rare knock out power at flyweight yeah and this big knockout has
29:01
to put him right right up into that title contention spot so that's got to be the next fight for him I gotta in my
29:07
mind right I got to go back to my rankings list well he was I think he was number four even after all those months
29:14
off he was still ranked number four yeah and he just fought the number one Contender well he was ranked number
29:21
seven oh for some reason even though he just fought for the belt but I guess the
29:27
performance wasn't good enough that he could stay up there which is wild because he almost
29:33
won like that that's also the that's that's why rankings are stupid they're
29:38
just for show rankings are freaking stupid but uh let's see yeah Kai car France is ranked four now and ERS is
29:47
ranked seven um so yeah he has to be up there after
29:54
and then who's two and three two is uh Brandon Marino well Roy Val
30:00
is uh fighting tats tatso Tyra next so Brandon Roy valal is number one Brandon
30:08
Moreno doesn't have an opponent he's number two and Amir albazi doesn't have an opponent he's
30:14
number three that'll be interesting they could probably put albazi and Kar France next
30:21
if they're not trying to put somebody up for the title yeah it just makes more sense in my mind because he just beat
30:29
someone who you know narrowly lost the title well Kai just lost a split def fit
30:36
split decision to um albazi in June of 2023 so that was Kai's
30:44
last fight and also Ali's last fight they [ __ ] each other up they like I need a break boy bro me
30:54
too that was a lot I'm GNA spend some time with my family
31:00
after that so um yeah I'm wondering what's next for him does it have a listen yeah
31:06
he's not fighting anyone either so I wonder what's next for that maybe maybe we get a rematch off of that for a fight
31:12
for the contender I don't know but um I'd like to see them fight someone else
31:17
and he did he ever fight Brandon Royal feel like K car France yeah I
31:24
don't know yeah he did back in 2020 he um got submitted by
31:32
Royal oh yeah so yeah the there's a log Jam up at the top that's why it's
31:38
interesting that you have that uh tatso TAA guy coming in um he's fighting Ral
31:44
next and I'm guessing the winner of that might get a crack at Penta probably more
31:50
likely tat sudo gets a crack at panta because Roy V's already fought him few
31:57
times I see what they're doing so yeah they're building building this kid up for uh for a big fight night hey if we
32:05
get a Japanese Champion maybe we could get some UFC Japan going on that'd be
32:12
fun I think there's such a huge market for it it's weird that it doesn't happen right you know what I mean I feel like
32:18
the yuza has they're more interested in they're like holding it for all of
32:25
their promotions they're like no we're the UFC out here you know with the all
32:30
the other stuff one and and I don't know what else is out there
32:37
one in risen anden one in risen yeah maybe they maybe they have a stronghold on it don't want UFC trapes in on the
32:44
territory maybe but it just seems like it would be a nice fit right although maybe there's still
32:52
they're still upset about what they did to toomi and geny sudo when they brought
32:57
him over to the hey he hey that's not yours he's like but this is my seat he
33:03
just wants a seat I could probably put the sandwich on his head and he wouldn't eat
33:08
it fine go back to leaning this way uh yeah
33:16
um what they do to them they just gave them the toughest fights and yeah they
33:22
brought him in they just didn't really make him look good yeah yeah but this kid is is nasty his last fight the one
33:29
against Alex Perez Perez remember he said ancient Japanese secret when he blew his knee out from that you wrote
33:36
him like a stripper on a pole yeah I've been trying to figure that out like I haven't been trying to blow up my
33:41
training partner's knees but every time I get up there on somebody climb up on
33:46
them with that uh back control I'm like H I want to believe that he was talking
33:53
about the The Leverage and motion that he was talking about not about blowing
33:58
out his training partner's needs so he was just talking about getting him back to the floor yeah because he created
34:03
such twerk and momentum know blew his knee out that it blew his knee out do do you know what
34:10
the recovery is like for Alex Perez has he talked about it yet um I'm sure it's at least a year oh I mean but the well I
34:18
wasn't sure if if they came out and said like MCL ACL anything like that I'm not
34:24
a doctor but that looked like an AC looks bad that look bad it could have been it could could have been a couple ligaments um but normally on that kind
34:32
of recovery it's like post surgery is like 6 months um that you have to wait and you can do certain Mobility stuff
34:38
but no weight bearing and then you start getting into like the rehab the weight bearing and then you have to make sure
34:44
that you're not pushing it too too tough and you have to make sure that it takes otherwise it can pop yeah po
34:51
again it's a tough one you know you don't wish knee injuries on anyone the sport man the sport is just breaking my
34:59
heart I'm like extra emotional cuz weak before my fight so I'm just
35:06
like why would you do that to somebody why would you set up geny sud
35:12
for failure he's like one of the good ones
35:17
he's a great one and he had a beautiful walk out when he was walking out to his first UFC fight he was in a gisha
35:23
costume and he had the fan and he was blowing the flowers and I was like this is so wasted on people that are throwing
35:29
their beer just bleed exactly [ __ ] I go back to China
35:36
yeah Face's the pain yeah oh but yeah we don't we didn't
35:42
deserve him for sure and he knew it that's why he left and started his dance
35:49
group he's the best he is um so we've only got a coade I we've been talking
35:55
for a while bear with us guys sorry bear with us we're chatting we're sleepy we had a rough week we're finally done with
36:02
my fight Camp mine's just starting yes so it's it's all all sorts of
36:08
Motors Cycles going heavy Sprints yesterday that I'm still sleepy from ah yeah but the beach was nice yeah um wait
36:18
so what was I doing oh so what else happened on 305 um I did not see gamr versus Dan
36:27
hook going the way what a fight man I didn't
36:33
know which version of hooker was going to show up but he showed up I I I got it I don't think he won though got we got
36:39
convict hooker you don't think so I thought the second round was the one in question and I
36:45
thought that gamrot won that round and hooker finished strong but I didn't see
36:52
it as and I mean again I was having some glasses of wine I could watch it again but I thought thought that the body of
36:59
work that gamut did in the second round outweighed hooker finishing strong and
37:05
then hooker definitely had the third round well I thought that it was a clear two and three for hooker and I'm going
37:13
to see what MMA decisions thought um it's split straight down the
37:21
middle well there you go I'm not crazy so it depends on what
37:26
you're looking for um there's one crazy person score that I was that I was also saying uh one crazy
37:34
person goes 3027 hooker which I was like I wouldn't be surprised that's if so I'm
37:41
not I am not surprised he won in Perth yeah I'm not surprised he won in Perth
37:47
but I was also looking at the damage all the damage on hooker's face happened
37:53
first round all the moments of just like all the significant strikes all of the
38:01
defended takedowns like the defended grappling um it was on hooker's side
38:07
because gamrat wasn't able to do anything with the takedowns that he got in the second round um he was getting
38:13
out struck on the feet and then in the third it was all hooker so that's why I saw two and three hooker and then I
38:19
wasn't sure about the first round because even though uh hooker got
38:24
dropped in the very early part hooker dropped uh gam or at least wobbled him
38:30
to the point where he was on wobbly legs a lot longer than hooker was in the end
38:36
of the first round so that's why I was like yo I wouldn't be surprised if it's 3027 hooker but I felt like two and
38:43
three were super clear gamrat like mauled him for most of the first round
38:49
but ended on wobbly legs yeah so so yeah it split straight down the middle um Ben
38:56
cartilage gave Huer one and three
39:02
what we're not listening to him ever again second so did Mark Christie and
39:09
then Mick meanie gave gamrat uh one and two which is the only score I feel like
39:16
makes sense but yeah everyone gave uh gamr round two to in in to go with what
39:25
you were saying and um yeah how do you give him one I don't know I don't know
39:31
how you give him one and not two yeah like the way I was thinking I was like if you're going to give him two you're
39:38
definitely going to give him one and three yeah you know what I mean so yeah that's a wild one I don't know what
39:44
these guys are just smoking but yeah oh there was another um weird split
39:49
decision that I heard about where the judge actually and Rosen
39:57
after turning in his was it that one yes cuz 3027 taiu iasa I'm sorry no
40:06
3027 I heard that and I had to rewind it what I like did I hear that wrong uh
40:12
yeah I was not listening to the audio of the fight but I was watching it and it
40:17
was clearly Rosen str's fight yeah like did he lose a round no I didn't think so
40:24
he did not he looked amazing like he looked so good he looked very very good
40:29
he just looked so sharp and um really showed his his kickboxing experience and
40:35
and tied to his credit he's tough as nails and he never stopped trying and coming forward he just couldn't get past
40:41
that that speed and that Precision yeah he um he was trying different stuff like
40:46
he was throwing calf kicks for the first time and then it looked like he hurt
40:53
himself trying to throw that c he did he hit his foot o and that's the problem
40:58
with trying something new like that in a fight is that if you're not used to all
41:05
the years of figuring out how to time it figuring out like how hard you have to throw when you're finding the range
41:12
versus how hard you throw when you know that it's going to be there like o That's yep check and make bam and that's
41:19
why those uh guys at um what's what's that uh what's that gym called with uh
41:24
Gutierrez and um and uh uh what's the name that fought outo um o y the the gym
41:34
with the tape oh I don't know yeah they always have the tape on on their ankles that's
41:39
why they're so good at what they do they're always hitting the C the calf kicks in all of their fights because
41:45
they just have all those years of reps all those years of setting up the timing and Ty was just kind of throwing it
41:51
because he knew it was there but it's easy to mess up like it's a really it's
41:57
a really dangerous kick to throw as the kicker and um Rosen stro was just on top
42:03
of his game so yeah uh one person gave Charlie ke gave taiu aasa the first
42:10
round but it was 29-28 uh hoe Booth scored 20 30 hoe Booth is the one that
42:17
scored 3027 for Tai to aasa and then David
42:22
lethaby scored 3027 for Rosen stro so that is wild I kind of want to see who
42:29
hoe boo is cuz I've never heard of that name I mean we're never going to see him again
42:34
either okay he scored one
42:40
fight on that card Keenan versus
42:46
Glenn looks like all the rest of his scores with he he doesn't do that oh he
42:52
scored one of my fights Angel Hill versus lomma luk Bon Me
43:00
yeah there's only um a couple ones where they have it highlighted that he veered
43:07
off of what everyone else was scoring one split decision for oh Paul
43:14
Felder defeated EDS and Barbosa do you remember that one I remember he Ed up in the hospital
43:22
with him well not Barbosa Felder versus Barbosa oh they were in
43:29
the hospital right yeah so he scored it
43:34
for Barbosa just like most people so he's
43:40
he's not like a crappy judge that he's not a repeat offender no maybe he just
43:46
had an off night maybe just from his angle it looked like Ty was doing work
43:53
maybe he mixed up the names maybe he was drunk I don't know I think that happens and
43:59
people just covered up I remember one uh referee came out or not referee judge
44:04
came out um I forget which one it was but a judge came out once and was like I
44:10
just I know that I messed up and luckily it was a split decision and he didn't
44:18
affect the Fighter's record but he came out and said I messed up I put the wrong
44:24
score I'm not sure what happened but blah blah blah and he came out with this whole thing about how he messed up and
44:31
it's like how often does that happen when you do affect someone's record how
44:37
often do two judges mess up at the same time and they just don't come out and say anything you know it's it's just a
44:43
really uh annoying thing that you have to deal with that human error aspect of
44:49
the fact that we're judged by people and a lot of times they get it wrong mhm I
44:55
appreciate the fact that he took accountability and spoke out about it I wish more people did and I wish more
45:01
people I because that just creates an opportunity for you to learn and grow you know instead of hiding behind me
45:07
being right and you know doing all of these all of these like song and dance
45:13
to to stay out of the spotlight and not take responsibility and accountability yeah and I can't remember his name so
45:19
it's not like I did too much to his career uh but it was not the judge that
45:27
got fired in Australia apparently he was removed after turning that scorecard so
45:33
he was supposed to do the co-main which he wouldn't have messed up anyway because Kai was Kai was on top of it
45:39
he's like don't worry I got it Jud I don't need you you don't need to get involved in
45:44
this I got this sit down um were there any other fights on
45:49
the main that got you just super excited uh prus
45:54
hello yes he's my favorite he's amazing so I don't really remember watching him
46:01
fight but I I know I've seen him fight and Destroy people multiple times uh
46:06
he's new though he's new to the with the fight nerds and oh the fight nerds of
46:12
course those guys are on top of their game he just he just dismantled poor guy
46:19
like he um man everything he was throwing was hurting his boxing was just
46:26
on on another level he he knows exactly when to throw volume when to throw power
46:32
and when his opponent is cornered he has
46:37
a great patient yeah he has a great Judgment of just like okay now he dropped Lee three times in the first
46:44
round and in in other rounds as well um and he just let him get back up he
46:51
was like no no no it's not time yet yeah I've been here before I'm going to get there again I'm going to hit you where I
46:58
want to when I want to and I'll eventually get you I just thought it was just so masterful MH um and he just
47:04
repeatedly does that now I have not seen any of his ground game I don't know what that's going to look like we don't need
47:10
to see it just make him fight Alex P I
47:15
know but man his striking is just it's a sight to see it's beautiful it is it is
47:22
and um in welterweight I I feel like we haven't had too any
47:27
like Bright Stars recently MH like uh I'm trying to think who is up like we
47:35
haven't seen any new Talent I'm I'm saying like uh to have someone like that
47:41
pop in is really going to spice things up just
47:46
because he's looked so on form every time he comes out you know um I wouldn't
47:52
be surprised if they gave him a big name next like I'm looking at the rankings right now um Kevin Holland michae V and
48:00
Paige like those are two fighters who no one would complain about that
48:07
matchup yeah I want to see him fight Michael Venom Paige I think that would be a fun one yeah and then uh you know
48:13
we have Ian Gary who's kind of losing his Sheen at the moment too I think uh
48:19
someone like this being inserted into the welterweight rankings would
48:24
definitely be exciting for the weight class mhm I mean there's a ton of
48:30
possibilities that we could see him fight I just don't know who because he's not he's not ranked in the top 15 yet is
48:37
he no and I think that I mean um you know uh J uh how do you say his name
48:44
Jing leing Lee jingang he was ranked at one
48:51
point he had a long layoff yeah he hasn't fought in a bit Yeah but it's still a huge name to get a knockout over
48:58
him to make him look like that after all his experience all of his tough fights
49:03
that's a big deal so I wouldn't be surprised if he was creeping up at least gonna get a ranked opponent in his next
49:10
fight yeah so that was that was really impressive to watch it's not just his performance but the level of competition
49:17
that he had to perform against because you see people who like uh Ian Gary who
49:23
have been kind of nurtured and brought up they got a lot lot of gimmies before
49:28
they actually started getting tested and then the tests weren't as exciting as the gimmies and then with Carlos uh
49:36
proz he's testing he's throwing out exciting fights no matter who it is and
49:41
he's excelling yes you know that's what that's what the matchmakers love seeing that's what Dana loves seeing they love
49:47
seeing people pass the test in an exciting brilliant way and he just repeatedly does it yeah it was
49:53
beautiful um and I did want to discuss the
49:58
ladies who are on the card if you if you caught that one oh yeah of course yeah
50:05
we had Casey King Casey O'Neil versus Lana Santos I know I didn't want to talk
50:11
about it last week but I was tired and I wanted to talk about your
50:20
story it's okay yeah but um this is definitely a fight that I was interested
50:25
in seeing how it laided out and I do feel bad for Lana Santos because she
50:31
only had three weeks to prepare I think she maybe underestimated the Beast that
50:38
Casey O'Neil was coming back from these two losses and being able to just get
50:43
back in the win column and uh you know we've we've seen it in the past when
50:49
Casey oo was coming up I was just like who is this girl she is just getting everyone down jumping on top of them
50:57
beating him up and uh she she was having like this kind of uh Tatiana Suarez kind
51:04
of like rise uh rise and when she lost a couple times you're like oh maybe maybe
51:12
that she's not what we thought she was but in this fight we saw a little bit of uh the old Casey
51:18
O'Neil I think that um wait is it Santos right Lana Santos yeah so I think Santos
51:25
she was coming off of a of a win of a big win and she had ample amount of time
51:31
to to adjust I just think she's still really young in the sport I think she's still like also young physically
51:39
mentally and as a competitor so I think that Casey O'Neal was able to Showcase her her veteran ISM yeah um she also
51:46
moved to a different gym um she's training where does Tracy ctez train in Arizona oh fight ready fight ready yeah
51:55
uh so you know she made made the adjustment there and so I think we saw like a revamped revitalized renewed uh
52:02
KY O'Neal and SOS I think um she still has a lot of room to grow and learn yeah
52:08
it just looked like her gas tank wasn't there and you've seen it in the past I think she's definitely one of those
52:15
fighters who need a fight camp in order to look good on the feet as well she's a
52:21
really good Grappler Judo girl but she her standup it just look look labored
52:27
and in this fight especially uh she just looked tired as soon as that first
52:32
scramble happened she got up and she was just like one punch one punch you know and
52:39
Casey just looked very composed very uh you know energy efficient and it it's
52:47
definitely part of her greenness too Lana Santos just not having control of that energy management but um but also I
52:55
think because of her weight issues in the past like she had like a thyroid thing or something she definitely
53:01
shouldn't be jumping on these tasty looking fights just because oh you get
53:07
that fight real quick get it out of the way it's like I understand the mindset though because there is something to you
53:13
know gaining favor if you do take a short notice fight and these you know
53:19
these opportunities come around I understand not wanting to pass them up
53:24
but again it's it's a learning Growing Experience maybe she'll know for for next time that hey I'm not a short
53:29
notice fighter kind of gal and that's okay but I don't think this loss counts
53:35
as a strike against her because it was you know short notice oh for sure and uh
53:41
her only other losses against our girl Jenna Bishop so before uh they both went to
53:48
their respective uh places but um yeah she has a lot of a
53:55
lot of room to make make mistakes too and I was happy to see Casey oil do her thing and then how good was
54:04
her celebration like the national Australian Dance Now I
54:11
know she hit the ray gun she did she hit the the take the what is it
54:19
the movie Clapper oh is that what that is that's what I call it and then the kangaroo yes
54:26
yes and it looked like she wanted to do the Homer system the Homer Simpson with the finger on the chin but the camera
54:33
moved she's like oh let me get up it was great I would have watched a a
54:39
two or three minute performance of her doing that as well as her fights cuz she
54:45
earned it she earned it all right well um we're gonna go to our bonus section
54:51
right now maybe I'll do a little talking about the fight that I'm about to do next weekend
54:57
maybe we can talk about some fights that happened outside of the cage yes oh so
55:03
many right and uh we had a few fan questions too so we can uh get to those
55:09
all in our bonus if you're a member you can get it right now if not see you next
