Up next in 10
The action packed in UFC 308 was that worthy of a pre-halloween brunch Saturday. The bloodymary's were as bloody as the FOTN, the screwdrivers were as screwy as the judges and there were too many "holy guacamole!" moments to count! (We had loaded tots with guac and all the fixings) While its a sad day for the good guys of MMA the level of skill and entertainment was off the charts. Cheers to the end of Spooky season, we'll be seeing Chimaev's face in our nightmares.
01:57 The saddest day for Holloway fans, Topuria is the real deal.
09:36 Ilia showing the size of his Cajones with the callouts but might have to deal with Volk first.
14:04 Ilia is the male Valentina Shevchenko
15:41 Zen Khamzat Chimaev is somehow way more violent. Poor Robert Whittaker’s mouth.
20:30 Who would want to fight Chimaev after that?! We have a suggestion..
25:50 Ange and Jess go off on the judges of the first fight, Carlos Leal vs Rinat Fakhretdinov.
31:50 We go over ways to improve scoring but no one listens to us.
40:00 ok we’re done, back to the fights, Ange is a Shara Magomedov fan now even though he won’t take pictures with her.
49:35 poor kid who shot his shot probably gonna get cut after 2 boring wrestling wins. (Dorobshokh Nabotov)
52:44 Magomedov Ankalaev finally got the ok to be next in line for Alex Perreira after his standup battle vs Alexander Rakic
55:45 OG homie Lerone Murphy is looking like he’s gonna taste that title shot soon after huge win vs Dan Ige
58:40 Mateusz Rębecki vs Myktybek Orolbai was out of a movie.
01:01:49 Join us to watch the 2nd part of our #UFC308 show right now! (Or wait till Tuesday, booooo)

recording and recording
0:09
together forever yes you're stuck with
0:17
me you know else was stuck with ilot toria's champion
0:26
on I was going to say bad judging but you know I mean we can we can talk about that for
0:33
sure but man I don't know what makes me more sad at least Toria is really fun to
0:41
watch I would hate if we had to watch salato sit there and [ __ ] up but he was
0:48
actually on point today I feel bad I feel bad throwing Sals out name out there when he did well um I don't know
0:55
who the judges were but we're going to talk about that in a second oh I have the scorecards
1:00
yes there was there was one very suspect sounding judge name that I've never heard of before it wasi Muhammad Ali for
1:09
me he uh just stuck himself out with that uh what was it 3027 how you GNA do
1:17
that man enough yeah how you GNA do that that's like that's like we really should be able to ask them that's like me
1:26
judging wrongly for someone named like like Jamal Jackson like if your name is
1:34
Muhammad Ali whatever you can't score wrongly for the very much
1:43
like guy that sounds like someone you would be biased against well I think they're bias bias
1:52
four biased towards um but let's talk about the main so we could get that over
1:59
with what a performance from both guys Max
2:04
showed up he did his thing I think a lot of us were betting with our heart when we wanted to see Max win but what I'm
2:10
most impressed with is the fact that Toria was able to knock out Max Holloway
2:16
who has never been knocked out before that is a feather in his cap that is a leg to stand on now he's calling out
2:23
Conor McGregor feather in his weight
2:28
perhaps what do you think he would fight Conor I I don't think it'll ever happen
2:37
speculate he's just talking he's just talking because in all the languages yes
2:42
and that's a I mean it's a great talking point you know if you mention that you want to fight Conor McGregor that is
2:49
always going to like create a headline you know that's going to get that's going to get you buzzing it is like it's
2:56
something that could potentially happen but probably will never happen it's just one of those things that we talk about
3:03
like you know he said it he said he's going to do it he said he wants to the balls in Connor's Court we'll see if
3:10
Connor is going to be too scared to do the fight one of the 20,000 fights that
3:16
people have offered you know it's just well it's just one of those like safe call outs yeah it it really is it's just
3:23
like uh what's his name Paul calling out Pereira you know yeah yeah it's never going to happen yeah but it gets you in
3:30
the headlines exactly um so what did you think about
3:35
the fight itself ilot zoria took on Max Holloway I felt like Max had a good game
3:41
plan um he was doing really well with the distance control and keeping tore at
3:48
Bay trying to pop in and out with his strikes uh using those like stabs and he
3:53
was like attacking the hipbone a lot yeah that's kind of hurt yeah it was like that it it was either a push kick
4:00
to the hip or push kick to the knee but we see that a lot with like the JN Joneses and everything and and uh people
4:09
can call it controversial but he was doing it in a way where it was really stopping Toria from coming forward and
4:16
it was working until it didn't and until the second
4:23
round um I thought I thought the first round was was great and I thought that it was you know really setting the pace
4:30
in the president for the direction that the fight could have gone in um he Max
4:35
was really utilizing his range he was keeping Toria out of out of that boxing range that Toria likes um Tor he made
4:43
him you know shoot in and try and clinch up he made him you know make adjustments but what Toria did in the second round
4:51
um is just that was his game plan the whole time you know he wants to get into that like pocket boxing range and and
4:57
use his power and and put Max a Max Holloway away yeah he uh he did really well with
5:05
being patient uh waiting for his chance to get in there and then the takedown was interesting too I thought it was it
5:12
was uh really smart of him to mix in that takedown get him to the ground and
5:18
then this becomes like a faint just that level change that level change to kind
5:23
of stick them where you have to sprawl if you see the shot coming but then
5:29
getting ready to small makes you stationary so then you're there to be
5:36
hit on the way in and that's kind of what you saw in the highlights he was doing a good job of just kind of
5:42
bouncing up and down fainting that level change getting Max to either swing or
5:47
counter or plant his feet a tiny bit and then he was able to explode up into a
5:52
punch or explode up into a combination um I thought that little pool punch was
5:59
really fun that's like one of those things you learn in Muay Thai like your first fancy move that you learn in Muay
6:06
Tha where the person standing like this you pull the glove and then punch right through the center um you don't see that
6:13
that often in MMA you in MMA which is funny because we have like the
6:18
fingerless glov so there's a lot more grabbing that you can do in there but he
6:24
was able to just hide it really well it's like one of those things that you don't want to do too much because soon
6:29
as you start reaching for something someone can fake and come over the top but he just did a really good job of
6:36
hiding all of his attacks coming in he took some damage as well we saw him
6:41
limping on his way out of the cage so Max's game plan was definitely working but I can't believe that Toria has the
6:49
power to put Max hollow out after all the guys that he's fought all the guys he's fought that
6:55
haven't been able to do that that are known knockout artists yeah it's um I I know Max is you know big for the
7:03
division um he carries a lot of power but and and there just seemed to be a
7:09
size difference but the power ended up being the difference yeah um Toria just he has he has this very explosive you
7:16
know short stocky powerful stance and and he utilizes it really well we've
7:21
seen him you know put people out that we haven't seen before he did the same to the great you know and a lot of people
7:29
well me included wondered if you know it wasn't the fact that he had been knocked out previously and you know the short
7:34
turnaround but I mean toria's power is undeniable at this point yeah yeah uh
7:40
what did you think when he backed up what he said he was going to do and pointed to the ground in the first 10
7:50
seconds nothing you thought nothing of it no neither did Max he was like he's
7:57
like I'm not stupid I already told you I'm not doing that yeah you don't make the rules here I make the rules uh yeah
8:07
it was disappointing to see everyone want wants that for Max or wanted that for Max for him to get that shot at Gold
8:14
um and maybe we'll see that at at 155 maybe we'll see him move up to to
8:20
lightweight he looked good against gatei at lightweight for the BMF uh I wouldn't
8:25
be mad at it there's a lot of fun fights that you can make for him up there and he he seems like he's
8:32
not deterred from still being an active fighter still being a prize fighter he
8:38
seems still um I guess like he he wants to continue he wants to keep putting on
8:45
Great Performances well I think he's in a great position honestly I know it's not the result that he wanted to but
8:50
what he's done is he's he's built up this you know Legend this energy around
8:55
himself where people will always want to see him fight people will always root for him he's a very likable fighter he's
9:01
easy to get behind and honestly he can really call his shots if he wants to go to 55 I'm sure he can pick whatever
9:08
fight he wants at featherweight to be honest um I think he's in a really good position and I don't think this takes
9:15
away from you know his legacy I don't think it takes away from what he's capable of I think that you know as long
9:23
as he wants to and and willing to he can still be fighting um at the highest level and you
9:31
know who knows what's next he can always reinvent himself yeah I'm excited to see what's next for him um and then like you
9:38
said Ilia was calling out some big names he called out Islam makev he said that if Islam makev has
9:48
the ability to get submitted he will submit him well and makev is also talking about going up to 170 so this is
9:54
another one of these fights that like he's saying these things and he's getting people talking but but like the
10:00
reality is we don't know if that will ever happen I think that that you know could potentially happen I mean it's
10:06
it's exciting um I don't know that he could submit him I think makev is is big for
10:13
155 I think he would do well at 170 um so we'll see we'll see I think it
10:20
it opens up the door for a lot of fun potential kind of super fight type fights yeah do you think that
10:26
volkanovski gets the shot again they brought him in um he he like snuck up in there and I
10:34
feel like they're going to give him the shot just because he didn't really I
10:39
mean I I'm still on the fact that he got knocked out so quickly before he got
10:45
that title shot it was such a quick turnaround he did a solid and he ended
10:51
up eating it and I feel like it's deserved but uh how do you think people
10:56
are receiving that that that might be the next possible title shot I think
11:02
people could because of the way it ended I think people you know could potentially be a little bit bothered by
11:08
it or have something to say about it or against it however I'm completely for it
11:14
I think that you know that kind of turned around after a big knockout and you know stepping in on short notice
11:19
stepping in in a weight class above I think those are all really amazing things but they're very dangerous yeah
11:27
and I think that um I'd like to see what that fight would look like with a full Camp not on short
11:35
notice after his head has been rested and and really see what Alexander can do
11:41
I think he's another one of those Fighters that can call his shots yeah you know he's been doing it he's been
11:47
helping yeah doing has been a company
11:52
man give that man what he wants give him his title shot um yeah I just and he's
11:58
another one one of those Fighters where like Max like like a Whitaker um I just
12:04
they're really easy to get behind they're really easy to to cheer for and they're exciting Fighters so I always
12:11
want to see them fight yeah after that performance though I don't have a lot of faith in
12:18
bokanovsky's ability to beat him it's so sad like no I know what you're saying dude because I was so stuck on man he
12:25
just got knocked out anytime there's a knockout I think it's it's easier for
12:30
fans to go okay that was a lucky shot as opposed to that was a a strategic
12:37
dismantling because of the the nature of a knockout you're you're throwing
12:42
something you just happen to hit the chin when it's there when it's available they weren't able to block but there's
12:48
so much involved and when it comes to someone who's able to like take someone
12:54
down get on top of them pound on them get the submission that always seems more like a Strate IC like oh this was
13:00
going to this is what's going to happen every time they fight as opposed to a knockout there seems to be a little more
13:06
luck involved but after these two performances together I'm like man this guy knows what he's doing he's setting
13:13
the [ __ ] up I I agree with that I think that Tor is on on another level and I think he's just getting better um I
13:19
think that you know we may see a repeat of the first fight but I still want to see it yeah I want to see it too give
13:27
him his shot damn it I want to see vul dressed as an old man again I want to see the whole build up he's great I love
13:35
it I just love how he doesn't take himself too seriously but he does at the same time he's still very much a martial
13:41
artist and he wants to fight the best in the world and he wants to prove himself so I'm excited about that possibly
13:47
happening in Australia that could happen that that goes down in February the Australia card so it seems like they're
13:54
working towards that be a great headliner and yeah should be a good time
14:01
for one of them yeah for for somebody yeah Elliot Toria he's a
14:06
monster though like the fact that he can speak so many different languages like if you watch any of his press
14:13
conferences and there's people speaking at him in different languages and he's just gone from English to Spanish to
14:20
Georgian to Portuguese or whatever the [ __ ] he speaks like I feel like he does
14:27
the same thing with his fighting style where he is so fluent in every art that
14:34
comes with uh with MMA the fact that he started his career as a Grappler getting
14:39
all these submissions and then said you know what I'mma Be a knockout artist now and then speaks the Striking language
14:46
perfectly all of a sudden it it's really it's really wow no he's very impressive yeah he is the chef chenko of the male
14:56
divisions we're going to start doing that say a signing people the Mel this
15:01
the male that yeah I want to see his dance skills though I want to see if they're comparable to sh oh well they're
15:09
going to have to compete with Mor spard I want to see some what is it he's a Spaniard and a Georgian and we saw Mor
15:15
Rob put get down we saw Mor Rob get down with his little traditional dances so you know he
15:23
got the moves all right Ilia we're fans yeah you can't not be
15:29
yeah it's it's just hard when they fight the people that you've been rooting for for years and years and years no it no
15:36
it is hard it is hard it is we're fans damn it oh man well one guy who it is hard to
15:45
be a fan of but he's really he's really been working on himself I don't know I I
15:50
kind of believe it I'm also in Den but comes out to my EV man he has been
15:59
working on himself and dude the squeeze that he has must be
16:04
insane how did Darren till survive training with this guy well have we really heard from
16:11
Darren till since he really know we we don't we don't know how he's doing are you
16:17
okay tell us let us out let us know out to ever since his Instagram got hacked I
16:23
I haven't seen him since oh no I didn't know that yeah what what was there a
16:29
thing that got posted that showed people it got hacked no it just all of a sudden
16:34
disappeared yeah ah yeah yeah just gone come back we miss you I've seen him on
16:40
Twitter recently he's pretty funny on Twitter I stay away from Twitter yeah good job it's a deep dark place I just
16:46
don't like you know I'll get in there and then I'm promptly reminded why I
16:51
don't like being here um a couple times recently though I've I've gone and looking for something
16:57
that I've gone down the rabbit hole of these like bully fights or street fights or school school fights like in class or
17:03
like in the like hall room Hall bathroom fights they're gnarly I hate that [ __ ]
17:09
I'm so happy I grew up in a time where you couldn't just record people getting
17:14
in a fight on in school without having like a huge camc no it's insane and I
17:20
don't like watching it but like here I am 20 videos later and I'm looking for
17:25
more it's so easy it's so easy to get wrapped up in it really is it it's just
17:32
oh my God I I am not jealous of kids these days no no I'm happy that our
17:38
video cameras were too big to sneak into school when we were when we were
17:45
kids oh well yeah um Whitaker came out
17:50
he I mean Jay have just didn't give him a chance to start that fight he was on
17:56
him immediately shot in immediately started covering the hips and just like
18:02
just strategically dismantling him I mean and Whitaker was defending well he was doing his best and I thought that if
18:09
he could have got out of that round you know we would have been able to see him keep the range and you know there
18:15
there's always that like feeling out period and when you don't get that feeling out period you need another
18:20
round for it yeah it's like okay this time I'm going to circle first reset I'm
18:26
G to Circle I'm GNA sprawl maybe I'll flash a little something so you don't just bulldoze me next time but uh yeah
18:34
he was getting close and I was looking at the clock as he's getting rid and I'm like oh he's almost there almost there
18:41
and then he just snatches on this arm and immediately wher Taps yeah so if we
18:49
think about it the I mean I I had braces right and I still have to wear a retainer if I don't wear a retainer
18:55
after a week like my feet my teeth have shifted so the mouth is pretty like it's pretty like pliable and it's it's just
19:05
one of those things where he just got right on the teeth and pulled and it buckled the teeth back can you imagine
19:11
the pain of that no can you imagine no I've I've in training I felt that
19:18
pressure before and I immediately tapped before it got that bad but to have just an immediate like break from the Jaw is
19:26
is insane mhm and even in training usually if someone feels that cuz you'll
19:31
be able to feel the pressure on your arm too and uh kamay he was talking about that like he felt something happened but
19:38
he's just squeezing to win like the the difference between training and and in a fight is that you're trying to pop the
19:44
guy's head off you don't care if your training partner gets home okay yeah you don't care if they're like talking like
19:50
this for the rest of their life you know you're fine hey tap [ __ ] um that was
19:59
crazy how fast that set in how fast he was able to do that much damage this Sky's forearms must be made of still
20:06
yeah I mean it it looks something else what were you doing on that year
20:12
off were you in the testing pool were you in some obscure country somewhere
20:19
where the testers can't get where they would they would uh be very much in
20:24
danger if they found [Music] you I want just a theory of ours I
20:33
wonder yeah it's a it's disappointing but also really impressive and I feel like people
20:42
are calling for a title shot because who's gonna want to fight this guy after
20:47
he did that to Robert Whitaker it's a short list it's a short
20:53
list but you know what I know one man for the job and that's Strickland that's who I want to see I want to see I know Strickland was told that he's going to
20:59
get the title shot next but I personally would really like to see strickling I
21:05
mean if there's one person someone wouldn't mind their teeth getting popped out their face fair either way either
21:11
way they're like you could break that guy's jaw like please please go ahead
21:17
you will be the favorite in this match up be very different from fighting Robert Whitaker
21:24
at least so yeah it's hard it's hard because you have somebody who like really plays the heal and somebody who
21:29
really plays a good guy St you're like okay we're rooting for that guy obviously like it's it's not hard to see
21:34
that but it's like who do you root for in that case I don't know I mean I'm it's an opportunity to like win some
21:41
people over H yeah I guess but steal their haters it's it's kind of one of
21:46
those ones where you're just like oh let's see them both get hurt not permanently not permanently
21:53
just for the sake of entertainment I bet they would be best friends after that fight too hey probably be in the hospital together yeah Darren till get
21:59
jealous oh my God the drama I can't wait make it
22:05
happen just like comes in dressed as a nurse tries to smother one so he could
22:12
be the other one's friend um yeah man it it's a wild one I would I would love to
22:18
see that fight Strickland versus Jamay but I'd also be into him fighting for the title yeah it's just the the thing
22:26
for me is that he has had so much inconsistency such long layoffs and I know that he just took out
22:34
you know the number one guy Whitaker but I just in my mind I still would like a
22:40
little bit more order in in you know the title shot thing well it's been just
22:46
kind of thrown around for a while now no that's fair like everyone's like random
22:53
people have been getting shots we have a flyweight that just got signed who's getting a shot
22:59
um so there's been a lot of just kind of Chaos in the whole picture and I don't
23:06
know if if strickling getting the shot would bring order to it or if it would
23:12
just add to that heap of chaos you know what I mean yeah
23:18
that's fair to say but at the same time he never got his immediate rematch
23:24
so yeah and I think that I think it's deserved yeah
23:29
um I'm trying to see uh oh yeah dri is uh he actually sounded off and what he
23:39
say oh okay D is getting Saucy all right feeling really sorry for Rob he looked
23:45
super ready but this is the fight game well done on a good performance comes at
23:50
that being said I can't wait to take your o so drias is down he's ready he's
23:55
down the clown with the with the with all that chaos yeah the chaos the I mean I would
24:03
imagine him to be too he's he definitely doesn't shy away from challenges um you know calling out
24:09
perea why do I always fumble that name Pereira
24:16
perea um yeah I think he's up for the challenge and I I think that would be an
24:22
interesting fight I could see him you know doing what he does to all the other Fighters he's fought and really taking them out of their game
24:29
yeah that'd be fun to see what dricus pulls out of his Herky jerky
24:35
sleeve because it could go one of two ways he could get jumped on just like Robert Whitaker
24:42
again he get like smothered and taken advantage of we all see the holes in
24:48
jus' game but he has this inv invisible energy that just throws people off yeah
24:53
I feel like he's just really freaking strong and he doesn't hesitate on things and that in itself can just make things
25:02
that shouldn't work work and that's what he's done in every one of his on he's
25:07
just broken flipped over the table like broken all the rules and gotten the job
25:12
done so yeah I want to see how this plays out because like Kam at you know what he wants to do yeah like there's
25:19
there's no hiding it and dras draas is just like a mystery box yeah he just he
25:25
throws everything at you and it works yeah oh it's it's crazy I'm I'm jealous it's
25:31
absolutely crazy um it's it's interesting to watch and he's one of those people that I I can't bet against
25:37
anymore you know what I'm saying I'm just like well he's probably gonna win
25:43
and you're not going to be able to figure out how until it happens but just pick him yeah just pick him to win pick
25:49
him to win at some point well uh it sucks because we had like one
25:57
really weird uh one really weird decision happened in
26:03
the very beginning of the card and I think that got people really nervous about how the rest of the C was going to
26:09
turn out but it was actually I felt like the judging for the rest of the car was fair but this first fight put
26:18
everyone like on edge and that was uh what was the name of those guys it was
26:23
LE and um [ __ ] dinov yes
26:30
that fight people were going crazy basically like it wasn't that close of a
26:36
fight um it was competitive which is different um re uh renette Fardo he
26:43
fought Carlos Leo and Carlos Le he was not on home
26:50
turf but he did an amazing job at uh stuffing all of fuad Dino's takedowns
26:57
hit making him hurt he he definitely scored more in damage he definitely like did a
27:04
great job of just commanding the cage and for me I was seeing it 3027 but I
27:12
felt like maybe Faker dinov stole the last seconds of the last round so I was like a it could be
27:18
2928 they gave it 30 20 or one judge gave it 3027 to Faker off and the other
27:25
ones 2928 both different rounds different rounds yeah so we had Mike
27:30
Bell we had Hadi Muhammad Ali and we had David
27:36
Lee Lee um and nobody scored it the same really the only one that they had was
27:43
everybody scored the last round for [ __ ] enough okay so that was the round that I was like okay he might have
27:50
stolen the last round I didn't think it was enough to steal that last round though I didn't either I was just trying
27:55
to keep my head like open for whatever might for sure because you always want to know the come from we want to
28:02
understand what they're seeing what they're looking at why they're scoring it this way and that's yeah it's just
28:08
one of those things I thought if anything they could have given [ __ ] of the first round yeah because the way he
28:14
was grinding and pressuring and kind of you know um you know stalling the action and having control time oh okay um and
28:21
then in the second and third round uh Le just pulled ahead with his with his
28:26
power shots and I I mean to fov's cred credit crof credot fov's crov CR
28:36
credentials um you know he just kept coming forward and he was trying to trying and trying but what Leo was doing
28:42
was he was nullifying the takedown attemps he was rolling with the punches so he wasn't absorbing the damage of the
28:49
punches and Leal was just giving it back MH and giving it back and giving it back
28:54
and and F have kept coming forward but um he wasting tossed around he's getting ragd dolled he was it was so frustrating
29:02
to watch that fight and then in your head you're like okay this guy is
29:07
obviously the favorite of Faker Dino but this is a very convincing win there
29:14
isn't much that he's able to do to a l out before before the final Bell rung
29:21
and dude like he was Landing lots of calf kicks he was hitting like these
29:26
beautiful clinch site um the one thing I will say that maybe might have swayed a judge like Muhammad
29:35
what is his name muhamed Ki Muhammad Ali is the fact that uh Leo had a ton of
29:42
backne how does that score and he looked like he was like made in a lab so I'm
29:48
like okay if you're someone who's coming in with biases already and you see this
29:54
guy who looks kind of Juiced out maybe you're going to try to help your home homeboy out but it's I'm not saying it's
30:01
right I'm just trying to figure out what the hell happened like that's why we have a testing pool even if you bring
30:07
someone in short notice if they fail the the drug test then the fight gets
30:13
overturned you you can relax Muhammad like you can relax Muhammad alii like
30:18
the the test will overturn the fight you don't have to cheat and make it score
30:23
for your boy faked dinov but it it definitely seemed like that guy wasn't
30:29
watching a fight because he scored a 3027 and then you have Mike Bell and uh
30:35
Dave L who have scored fights forever like we know those names and they both
30:42
got them different uhhuh so again it's like what are you guys looking at what are you guys looking at I wonder if it's
30:49
just the different angle like the different uh vantage point that each judge has because everybody's you know
30:55
set on different uh points of the Octagon so maybe you're seeing something a little bit differently you know maybe
31:02
you're seeing somebody's head go back a little bit more uh maybe you're seeing somebody stumble a little bit more or
31:08
maybe you're seeing somebody pressure more because of your your Vantage Point you know yeah but um let me see if the
31:16
media scores are in here the media scores too uh everyone scored it 2928 or 30 27
31:25
most people scored it 3027 for Leo and these guys are actually these are
31:31
the people who are doing the press conference afterwards they're actually in the arena so they're not getting the
31:36
same Viewpoint that we're getting at home and the fact that we're seeing this at home the the media people in the
31:45
arena are seeing the same thing that we're seeing at home it makes me think what the [ __ ] are the judges looking at
31:53
the the frustrating thing for me is that we keep having this conversation we still don't know what to do to make it
32:00
change yeah you know well we know what to do but I don't know how to put in in
32:05
action like one one thing that people keep saying that I think is a good idea is open scoring yeah because open
32:12
scoring is going to make it so that you know if you're down two rounds even if you whoop the person's butt and there
32:18
were moments that Leo like he got on the front head he he was uh you know kind of
32:24
in a clinch position maybe he would have gone for a choke maybe he would have gone harder for The Knockout if he knew
32:29
he was down two rounds and it was the last round but uh a lot of times like it
32:35
looked like he was fighting to finish the fight so I don't know if that would help in this situation another thing
32:42
people suggest are or another thing people suggest is that you should have
32:48
ex fighters on the judging I don't know if that's a great idea
32:53
see I I like the idea of a more neutral party I like Fighters as refs MH I I do
33:00
like that idea I think that there needs to be just a little bit more criteria to become a judge I I like somebody who's
33:07
involved in the sport but ex Fighters I don't think it's a bad idea but I think
33:14
that there is you know again an opportunity for for bias I think there's an opportunity for you
33:21
know not Scandal I don't want to say that but there's just uh there's a lot of like human emotion into that yeah
33:28
it's like some judges might actually go too far to make it look like they're not
33:34
being biased and then some judges just won't care and they'll score it the way
33:39
they think it's going it's like uh you look at the verdict scores on the max Holloway Ilia Toria fight and the
33:47
verdict had maxed up two rounds and I'm like
33:54
really is that really what you guys saw but there's a a lot of fights
34:00
where you'll be scoring you could be scoring a fight who uh you're ex coach
34:06
your ex- coach or one of your ex teammates are related or they are working with this person it's really
34:13
easy to have biases when you used to fight yourself there's always going to be that connection and the current
34:19
judges now a lot of times there will be a judge or a referee that used to train with someone and their fighter is going
34:27
into a fight and you might not be able to make the connections via like Instagram or something but they're
34:32
supposed to excuse themselves from from scoring that fight if there are biases
34:39
that can get away do they actually say that no like I mean we don't know there's no way to like really mandate
34:47
that but this is what's supposed to happen and I think a lot of times people just want to do that they'd either go oh
34:54
I'm a professional I'm not going to do that and still do it or you know they just do it I mean human error is always
35:01
going to be a thing uh what do you think about like ai ai judging no that have
35:08
you what do you think about that have you heard of something called the smart
35:13
cage it's pretty dumb for a name like the smart cage it's
35:19
pretty dumb but I I don't feel like there's a way to
35:26
to analyze it via stats it's like the whole significant strike thing someone
35:32
throwing like this their significant strikes are going to be a lot softer
35:37
than someone really putting the power into their punch and dropping the guy but if you go oh well this person threw
35:44
more significant strikes than they win according to AI so I don't really trust
35:49
computers when it comes to that either I just feel like we all have to get on the same page and oh one thing that I think
35:56
would be very interesting and someone on Twitter suggested this but I've always thought this was a great idea is if
36:02
people if the judges actually had a press conference like the fighters and
36:07
explained all of their yeah all of their decisions because usually there'll only be a couple that people are confused
36:14
about like for instance this card we thought it was going to be a whole night of that it was only that one fight
36:20
really I don't think there was another one where people are like wait a second but that one fight you have those three
36:26
judges up before Dana gets in the room explain
36:31
yourself no one else saw what you saw especially you Mr 3027 but you guys too
36:36
you should know better you both scored different rounds we have to know what criteria you were using to score those
36:42
rounds for uh fuer de off and if they could at least verbalize what they were
36:49
thinking we can use that for the next time they [ __ ] up and then they go verbalize what they were thinking that
36:55
way and we'll go well that's funny because in the fuera fight you said that you Ed this criteria so why are you
37:02
using this criteria this time and then we can catch him then we' be like gotcha
37:07
[ __ ] out of here get out of here bye yeah you don't know what you're doing
37:12
you don't know so I think that might be the sound the most sound way to really
37:20
get to the bottom of these judging decisions is just have them answer for themselves because right now they don't
37:26
have to answer to anyone yes you can't overturn a fight like it's just going to go it's going to get
37:32
thrown out you can't try to get them fired they just keep showing up they're
37:38
all grandfathered in or or they have like a I don't know I don't know if they have a union or something but they they
37:44
basically like take care of each other so they're in there for good the only person I've ever seen get kicked out of
37:50
their position is Douglas Crosby well you're saying there's a chance there there is you know it just
37:57
takes one it takes one person to get out of there and then I think that it'll start raising the alarms to get more
38:04
people out and I think that if we keep talking about it if we keep bringing it up if it keeps becoming such an issue
38:09
like they can no longer ignore it I really like press conference the press conference idea and I really like the
38:16
open scoring because I think it'll make everything more more visual visible as
38:22
of what's going on yeah I I agree with that but in this case it's like okay well I don't know what to do now yeah
38:29
you know you're in the round and they're like well listen this this wasn't scored for you and it can just be it's it can
38:35
be kind of confusing in that moment yeah I think there needs to be both not just one um I think the open scoring would
38:42
help you know who to uh
38:50
attack this guy thought you lost both rounds even though you dropped the guy and he couldn't take you down once oh
38:56
did he but it's you got one more round to prove yourself but having the press
39:01
conference afterwards I feel like that not overnight but in time maybe a year
39:07
of Judges answering for the decisions that they've made you see it in refs all the time refs get a lot of heat for bad
39:14
decisions and they fix themselves they fix the way they approach things uh with the eye pokes with the groin shots with
39:20
like stopping a fight or as opposed to pausing it and letting it continue so
39:26
there the ref the refs have more accountability accountability accountability you got it
39:33
you did it than the judges it's insane they have less power
39:39
but more accountability well and their and their job is to keep us safe so I appreciate them taking that so seriously
39:45
no I do too and that's why I love the fact that you have people who train that are in there with you but on the jet
39:52
side I think they should at least tell us what they were thinking when they write down their little numbers on the
39:58
paper because they are not seeing the same as the fans as the media people as
40:04
everyone else is seeing so that's our rant that was about 40 minutes of we'll see on the other
40:10
side guys complaining about judging H God we could go all day I get
40:17
so heated I know I get so mad I know I get so mad uh but uh one thing that I
40:23
wasn't as mad as I thought I'd be was watching sharah when his last fight I was even
40:32
though he is a horrible human being it was a pretty cool
40:41
knockout he is like the worst he's he's not a fan of women as a
40:47
as a person not a fan of public displays of affection he's he's not a fan of that
40:52
he's not he's a big fan of uh unprovoked violence yeah yeah huge fan I mean we're
40:59
trash for watching it but what are you gonna do it's entertaining um I I I still feel like
41:07
Shara magam medov is very beatable but he is able to just be weird and
41:17
confusing he's so unpredictable yeah yeah and that knockout that he got was
41:23
freaking awesome like I've never like he does he does and that's why it's so hard
41:29
to fight him because you can't really get his timing and you you spend the
41:34
round trying to get his timing and trying to make things work and you just got to throw you know what I'm saying
41:40
cuz he just throws yeah and he beats to uh what is he he moves to the to be of
41:46
his own drum what's that say yeah there you go but just um he just he throws
41:51
everything and it's so unpredictable and it's a lot of power a lot of movement it's very unorthodox so it's it's just
41:58
hard to get that timing so as as an opponent of his you just have to kind of
42:04
say [ __ ] it you just got to you just got to go for it and you've got to put him on his heels and and stifle him yeah he
42:11
he likes to hit off the back foot so that can throw people off because as
42:20
he's backing up you're like okay this is my time to attack and he come forward and he pushes you away and it's always
42:26
easy to get caught in that like weird Rhythm where you're you feel like you're
42:32
continually walking into their trap of disrupting your Rhythm so it's almost like you just got to say [ __ ] it like
42:38
you said just get hit maybe waade forward throw more than one
42:44
and you just can't get stuck looking for the perfect shot against Sher because you're never going to find it and I
42:50
think that's what happened to Pro uh petran having trouble with uh three
42:57
syllables today yeah it happen uh that's that's what uh
43:05
petan started getting stuck and he was looking for that perfect shot and every time he would almost get to a point
43:12
where he felt comfortable throwing something he would stop short you know like he would set up that kick and then
43:18
not throw it and it's like you just got to throw it man just who cares if it hits his arm who cares if it like Skiffs
43:25
off of his hip like you just just got to get in there and make it dirty with someone like that and uh I think he
43:31
started to do that and that's when he rushed right into that double back fist like that that was crazy but in his
43:38
defense nobody throws that how do you prepare for something that has never been thrown no it's a great question the
43:45
UFC it's a great question never been thrown in in his tape like you you're not going to be thinking hey he might
43:51
throw a spinning back fist but also you want to keep your other hand up just in case he throws a double spinning back
43:56
fist yeah and after and afterwards you know when he was doing the the cage interview
44:03
he's like yeah this is my move we're going to call it after me and we're like nobody's ever goingon to do it nobody's
44:08
ever going be able to do that I might try it I have a few moves up my sleeve that I've been hoping to debut in a
44:16
fight eventually but I'm I'm willing to throw the share just to make him mad
44:21
he'll have to watch my highlights of getting in a woman oh no [Music]
44:27
they'll they'll censor my uh mid drift so he can actually watch the
44:32
Highlight put a shirt on her before you show me that trash but
44:39
yeah I might throw it just for that moment it's pretty easy to do too it's
44:44
like when you hit the spinning back fit not easy to do but uh I mean not easy to
44:50
land but the mechanics of it make a lot of sense they make sense yeah yeah
44:55
that's what I'm saying um because you set up the spinning back fist you got to
45:00
get back to your stance eventually so you can either keep going the way that you came when you connected or you can
45:08
spin back around to your stance and instead of just spinning back around to a stance he span back around to another
45:14
punch so it's kind of I don't know I feel like that would work nicely in my
45:19
game too I might have to stop she spins guys steing it I'm stealing it Shar
45:26
thanks thanks for sharing in and make sure you give him credit after the fight I will I hit the Shar
45:33
magga off do it really cute like that
45:41
too you love it he'll love it and he called out Izzy afterwards okay I want
45:47
to see that I'd love to see that I would really like to see that yes please I I mean he's doing all the right things uh
45:54
when it comes to keeping people's name or keeping his name in people's mouths uh to promoting himself as a fighter he
46:02
he busted out a new move like he's doing all the right things I feel like Izzy might take the bait I why not yeah
46:11
because this guy um I'm I'm not sure is he ranked yet I don't hold on let me but
46:18
uh if he creeps up in the rankings he's he looks very beatable to
46:24
me like when I see the top 10 of that division he looks very beatable to me
46:31
but he could have this weird invisible thing that a lot of Fighters have where
46:37
once you get in front of him and once you try to actually fight him and do the things that you train to do against him
46:43
he makes it really uncomfortable to do he is not ranked yet not ranked yet
46:50
okay so that's a big ask maybe one we that'll get them ranked
46:56
maybe one we WI definitely this this fight will get him ranked for sure um so on Tuesday we'll see what number he is
47:02
and I feel like Adisa might take that bait but he's probably going to have to wait another fight before he gets that
47:10
but I mean look at what happened with with kamat he was ranked what
47:17
13 he was ranked something low yeah and he 13 he was 13 he fought whiter at
47:24
number three so he's going to jump the line so hard this is something that could
47:29
definitely happen with with what we've been seeing so far yeah I like that yeah yep so we'll
47:36
see what Sher gets what magga medof gets and uh yeah it it was funny he's like
47:43
working on everything he's working on his English too well he tried he tried he tried DC
47:51
DC wasn't having it he was like Anyway let's look at that let's look look at
47:57
that knockout like you have a translator right there I appreciate it though and I mean after after a fight it's our you're
48:04
so disoriented and there's the adrenaline dump and all that kind of stuff you're so excited and you're
48:10
trying to speak another language and I I mean I give them props for that that's not easy no as a person who has failed
48:17
at learning many languages don't I haven't gotten that far
48:23
but as a person who's failed at learning many languages is it the hardest thing
48:28
is actually trying is actually saying something that's the hardest thing for
48:34
me unless I'm drunk I think after a fight I'd be even worse I mean everyone
48:40
heard myo Manina after after my Brazil when I
48:46
still CL you were like one of two people in the audience that CL you you and my mom
48:53
your brother was there too there were three there were three of us you are minina girl everyone was like you're a
49:00
woman you just beat up a Manina you are
49:07
uh m m yes you are m i just reached um
49:13
1,000 day streak on my dual I can now uh say hello and ask where the bathroom is
49:19
in three different languages dang okay Ilia no biggie yeah let's go yes let's
49:25
see how many uh questions you can answer you can ask the question but
49:31
can't answer them speak slowly and I will too yeah so yeah it props to him for
49:39
trying um uh in another couple fights we should talk about anv got a win and
49:47
finally Dana is saying he's next they cannot deny him
49:53
anymore they wish they could but they can't no they have they have been but they can't do it
49:59
anymore yeah it it's uh it's it's it's only deserved you know
50:05
like I I was surprised that they didn't give him the shot earlier after like his only his only really knock to not being
50:12
Champion is that he went to a draw with Yan the snoozer the snoozer but he to a snoozer but it's like come on like he he
50:20
should have won that fight that was that was one of those fights where it's like yeah it's a draw because we like Yan
50:25
bovich so yay but also it was probably analy's
50:31
night yes um but because there weren't any big moments in that fight to make
50:37
you just ah uh Pitchfork and well the UFC can be a a shady grudging
50:44
[ __ ] they don't like wrestlers either they don't like the takedowns they don't and yet they sign so many I
50:49
know it's like what are you doing you you you're you're sending mixed signals here you you don't want them here and
50:56
then you and then you get them here and then you're mad when they're there I just and then you punish them repeatedly
51:01
it's a weird it's a weird relationship yeah like that kid who um talked to Dana
51:06
at the press conference he stood up and he was like hey Dana I am 9 and0 and I
51:12
am best uh fighter in wherever he was from you look at his name and you're
51:18
like yeah he's a wrestler he's a Grappler and Dana's like love you he's
51:23
like let's see what you can do he's like you already know what he can and you hate it you hate it but watch him sign
51:30
him and then just to cut him a few weeks later after he makes a a striker look
51:36
boring they'll probably put him in the contender Series yeah they're going to put him in uh Korean Zombies Fight Night
51:43
he has a fight night I guess it's uh some kind of like Contender series or or
51:49
uh looking for a fight to the Octagon probably yeah something like that but Korean zombie started his own promotion
51:56
and he Dana said you're going to get a fight over there and if it's a good
52:02
fight then we'll bring you into the UFC or maybe bring him into a contender series or something like that but yeah
52:09
that's going to happen and his poor little dreams are going to be crushed when he realizes he has to learn how to
52:14
throw the punch but you know what he was living it up he got up on stage during the presser and then they um they showed
52:20
him again during the fight so he's oh I almost lost that that's expensive don't do that stay I need
52:28
you so I mean I I mean either way whatever happens I think that you know I love that he called a shot I love that
52:35
he you know saw an opportunity to to make something you know to make a connection and he made it in the right
52:41
way yeah so we'll see what happens uh with him but going back to anev it was a
52:48
very he he said that he wasn't going to throw any or go for any takedowns in the fight he didn't um it was competitive
52:56
but he did his thing he he outstruck a striker so that's always impressive and
53:03
now he has a huge win streak in the UFC huge win streak in his career and he's
53:10
next in line for the light heavyweight belt so good job Uncle love which as he
53:16
should how do you think he matches with Alex perea I think he should probably go for
53:21
takedowns no I think that whole not going for Downs thing I think for this fight go
53:28
for takedowns I mean yeah yeah um the thing
53:36
is Alex Pera he's fought a lot of guys who have decent takedown ability but
53:41
they haven't been able to do it yeah so you got to wonder what he brings to the table that's so much different from
53:47
every other Striker from rakic from all these guys and you have to think his power right I think his from from what I
53:56
saw in his previous fights I think he has this ability a lot like you know some of the fighters that we talk about
54:02
about like uh dcus dupes he just has this ability to keep the fight at his pace and fight the fight that he wants
54:10
yeah and it's a it's an energy it's a you know a superpower kind of thing that he has and of course you know we've seen
54:19
we've seen P be susceptible like especially in like the first second round yeah to to other person game plan
54:27
while he's trying to like figure you out he leaves himself open so if if I were
54:32
on Club I would come out really strong really set precedent with my game plan
54:38
and try and get him out early for sure yeah his uh his um draw against
54:44
blakovich if you look back to when uh padaa fought blakovich he went to a split decision so I think they're going
54:51
to be really evenly matched when it comes to just overall game plan and but
54:56
yeah I can't wait to see that fight uh it's going to be the biggest test for P
55:02
I think because this is that one guy that everyone was like all right enjoy the P area or the
55:09
P era because once anev gets there it's
55:14
going to be over so that's that's kind of what people are worried about this
55:20
guy has basically all the tools that we haven't really seen him deal with yet
55:25
because even though the guys that he's beaten with takedowns they don't have the takedowns at the same uh skill level
55:33
as someone like mag SI and size he's big he's strong he has great striking too so
55:39
that's going to be a fun fun test for uh p areia and we'll see if that happens
55:45
soon um but yeah uh our homie
55:51
Lon oh my gosh too so this was the type of fight that
55:58
could put Lon into the conversation of like he's getting closer and closer to a
56:03
title yeah it was either going to be a really big Learning lesson for him or it was going to catapult him and it's I
56:10
think that he really passed that test he did he really did and it was getting scary a little bit oh yeah it was
56:17
getting a little hairy there were some moments yeah it was getting a little uh round one um there was crazy back and
56:24
forth but then he got hurt at the very last second and luckily um The Ref
56:30
didn't jump in right away he let it play out and he's able to survive and then
56:36
come back like we saw that in the Barbosa fight too like he's able to deal with some adversity and then come back
56:44
and get the win so I feel like Lon he he definitely has the ability to capture
56:50
the Bel and keep it just because he makes those adjustments that uh a lot of
56:56
Fighters aren't able to make once they kind of get become the nail for a second
57:01
no love I love the way he handles adversity yeah every every time you think he's you know kind of at a point
57:08
where most Fighters would kind of dwindle and fade he comes back and and he capitalizes off of it he's not just
57:14
surviving he's countering and then he's in a dominant position as we saw in like the third round especially yeah yeah he
57:21
he was able to just keep uh flipping the board over were uh eay had all the fight
57:28
iQ going into this he was making really smart decisions but Lon was just able to
57:34
to eek out that win and uh you know he's going to go back to the drawing board
57:39
the thing is sometimes I feel like when you have an undefeated fighter and it's a close fight it goes to the undefeated
57:46
fighter uhhuh like at it's like a veteran rule yeah it's like the champ
57:51
rule like if it's a close fight or if it's a close round it goes to the champ yeah I feel like with undefeated
57:57
Fighters the close rounds go to The Undefeated Fighters and it's not necessarily fair and I feel like Dan eay
58:04
has been in this position a lot where because he's the vet because he's the
58:10
guy who's been there for however many years um in this spot in this top 10
58:16
spot a lot of times he'll lose the close fights that he might have won if he was
58:21
undefeated and um it's just kind of something that happens but Lon was a able to benefit from that because we saw
58:29
the scoring in the first fight it's always it's always a chance that you get
58:34
screwed on something you know but I felt like it was fair I thought that it was good judging to be honest I I wasn't
58:41
concerned about that one but you never know you never know yeah um the last
58:47
fight we wanted to talk about before we go to our bonus is the roesy versus oral
58:54
by what about oral by the crazy crazy fight of the
59:00
night fight see this thing like this is this fight was not on my radar at all um I
59:08
saw those two guys and I was like I don't really know them uh I'll I'll catch this fight before I go and watch
59:15
the Pay-Per-View and that fight was crazy it was so back and forth it was so
59:22
much fun I don't think I I remember to breathe the whole time was watching I was like oh my God I just kept thinking
59:29
I was like man they're going to be recovering for a while after this fight oh it was so yeah then they're going to
59:35
be like in the same Hospital on the gurns taking selfies with each other
59:41
like that kind of fight yeah the I love I love after a fight like that the embrace the the show of of respect and
59:48
admiration towards each other um it's just when after you've been in a war
59:53
like that I don't think there's any any animosity there's no energy left you just have to really like appreciate what
1:00:00
you just created yes it was it was amazing it was a it was masterful there
1:00:05
were so many just reversals there was so many good things being done by both
1:00:10
Fighters there was damage done there was uh there were adjustments made um the
1:00:16
like the the the kicks uh from um which one was it the kicks from uh orai the
1:00:24
roby's like head movement the way he was able to just like defend the takedowns
1:00:31
get in land his shots it was it was such a good back and forth fight and then at the end when he almost drops him he
1:00:38
survives somehow uh who's the ref I don't know the ref's name but it was it was was it
1:00:45
hero I don't know was it was it VOR rero shelin yes yes I think it was I think
1:00:51
the man yes that man was the man back in the day ah watching him back in Pride that's why
1:00:59
that's why he said if he dies he dies cuz homeboy was he was messed up
1:01:08
like I thought I was watching a murder after he got dropped and he rolls over
1:01:14
and his entire face is covered in blood and his eye is swollen shut and he's
1:01:19
just holding on for dear life but then he gets a he gets a sweep on the ground
1:01:26
he gets on top he's like hitting him he's like almost looking for some missions kind of in between looking for
1:01:32
sub missions and trying to survive and hit it was such a crazy especially the
1:01:37
last round it was such a crazy fight um so yeah that was that was awesome I'm so
1:01:43
happy they got the bonus they got the money cuz they deserved it they deserved it yeah they left it all out
