UFC 309 Predictions with UFC vets Jessica Penne and Angela Hill!

and we're back yo

yo let's go let's do this so do you

remember maybe when

menur Abdul Malik was training at Alliance for a really quick spell I

don't you don't remind me so the only reason I remember is because one of our

coaches who was like you know he was kind of like not the head coach so he was still

trying to like who was it you know who it was who was it got the little y well

yks are he wasn't really the head coach but he was still trying to like you know

get people to listen to him and trust them and during inspiring and stuff so

uh he wasping one of the guys at the gym manur was and and our coach kept yelling

1732 1732 and because mansur was doing so well against this guy he was sparring

he just like looks at the coach and goes what the [ __ ] is a seven he so he was so

frustrated because mansur was like picking up apart so I I always remember

that when I see him like I wish I was there it was so funny it was really funny but uh yeah

he's just one of those athletes who just picked it up really quick cuz he started

with uh with wrestling and you know he he also had like a lot of other martial

arts that he was doing but when it came to putting everything together and building like a building a resume in MMA

may he he got to Third Base pretty quickly so now um he uh had his debut on

the contender series and I was really excited for him because like oh yeah I saw that guy he he trained with us for

like maybe a a month or two months or something like that we like oh I remember that kid and he came out and

just put on a show and it was it was like a really wild fight too like the other guy was a good dance partner but

he put on the show so um fast forward to this fight he's a monster he is he is a

monster uh in thingy uh dusco he kind of comes from the same background where he

got his start on Contender series but then he's had a lot of experience in the

UFC and he's won some law some but wasn't able to you know show that

specialness that he showed outside of the UF C and so for mansur to come in

and be able to do that against someone who's like you know kind of similar

similar uh history but able to you know get that same like magnificent knockout

that he's able to get outside of the UFC that definitely means uh promising stuff

for the future for him yeah and I mean it was toric that blitzed in and ended

up giving Abdul Malik the opportunity to to catch him coming in and um he he did

his best to survive he started like trying to grab a leg uh but grabbing a

leg is sometimes not the best thing to do you end up on bottom under you know a

a powerful guy with powerful punches and he just did he took a lot of damage and

I don't really think he ever really recovered from getting dropped he was kind of on autopilot he got dropped

again and then went for the leg again and then finally beltron called it yeah it was um it was a good attempt to get

things a little crazy but like when you go for a leg attack in an MMA fight

against someone like that it's always super risky like he hit him with that like look back at it Hammer fist a bunch

of times like when you look back at it and just like kind of smack right behind

your butt cheek like dude those things hurt yeah they hurt and when you have both of your hands hands connected to a

leg because you're trying to do something with that leg you're basically just taking free punches there's nothing

protecting your face you're taking free punch you can't even shoulder roll when you're when you're on a leg trying to go

for a hill hook or or a knee bar whatever like you're very vulnerable if

you're not able to off-balance the guy and man sir he was able to have really good balance while he was reaching back

and smacking him he was able to use it to get him to finally let go because

it's like bro you're getting KN you're getting get knocked out he finally let go mener was able to you know scramble

well get on top and then again when he tried to do that the ref finally seen enough yeah yeah that was it it was a

good stoppage he gave him ample opportunity to try and do something try and sweep try and get up try and you

know Mount some sort of offense but he was definitely um digging himself in he was he was it it was cool to see um him

do that to someone like disco he's the guy's tough you know he doesn't go away easy when he loses and then he's won a

few too so it it's really interesting to see what um Miner is going to do in the

future I'm excited to see and he's with the good team um I he might possibly be

Strickland's new best friend he shouted him out in in the post fight we'll see

how long that lasts oh no I wish them the best poor Chris

CIS yeah so I'm excited to see what's next for him he's in he's at a good gym

um he's he has a good training Partners people that are going to push him so

yeah he's he's definitely in the right spot to really tap into his full

potential so that's somebody to watch in the future for sure um another really good one was

scrogin and zeleski Dos Santos Santos was originally slated to take on our boy

Doby uh Doby ended up pulling out so scrogin took this on extremely short

notice and that was you know very bold of him and I and I think when I was talking earlier this was kind of one of those things where you really have to

weigh out what is best for you not try and be in favor of the company because

this was a really tough opponent to take on such short notice it a tough opponent to take if you have a full Camp yeah was

was this his debut or am I thinking of somewhere else no it's not his

okay um but you know he ended up getting um do Santos came out really hot and it

just took um just a little over a minute to get a ko. he hit with a hard combo right-handed land hard and then um

scogan just really couldn't recover yeah it's uh Skin's debut yes yeah sorry I

thought we were talking about disant yeah no I was just uh trying to figure out where he came from yeah it was a it

was a fun um fight for a second he he looked a little stiff on the feet as

scroggin did so you know it could always be like the Jitters it could be just

lack of a fight camp or maybe that's just the way he fights but you could tell that he was um he was getting

backed up and the closer he got to the fence the more he was in that danger

zone so as soon as he had nowhere to back up you know nowhere to get his head

out of the way that's when um dos Santos was able to land that little like low

high one two and really just put him on his feet or put him on his knees yeah

yeah it was a nasty one um I like his little Capa thing too his little Capa

celebration yeah it's fun he's a fun one to watch and in the fight after the

fight um I I hope they end up rescheduling him and Doby I think that was going to be a really good one Doby

is one of those guys where he'll he'll be out of the fight for a little bit and then he comes back and he beats like

these really really tough opponents yeah and Doby has a chin on him too he cuts a lot of weight but uh I've never seen him

go down with a from a punch like that like if he gets rocked he's he's usually

going to recover a little bit and then come back and a lot of times he comes back and wins um but I was thinking

maybe part of that was to do with a hard weight cut because he did Miss weight and it was short notice so he probably

did try to make that weight and at a certain point just had to stop otherwise

he wasn't going to make it to the to the cage anyway but whenever someone goes down fast like that really hard like

that you always think that the weight cut had something to do with it yeah it's it was a tough one again it was um

it's one of those things where you really have to weigh the the pros and the cons of taking that

fight he just put his body through H and now he has another loss on his record and it was um but I understand it's his

opportunity to get in there's a lot of people that that is their way in this is

still one of the biggest ways to get into the UFC is taking short notice fights just saying yes and getting in

the door and you're guaranteed another fight after that so after this one you know rest up heal your head take a

little bit of time off just to make sure that your body's healed and then you know have a full camp and then you know

try and show out and try to impress the big guys yeah he's his foot's in the door like you said so that should be um

you know the light at the end of the tunnel for him um and then another

cool finish or a couple of cool finishes we had Tran Gore submit Anthony troli

man he's had a rough one one yeah he's had a rough one couple of

well I guess it was just Shar was the other one but um yeah also having fights

get cancelled on him too uh his last fight was the knock out from Sher Putin

which he took on like two days notice flying to where was it Dubai or Abu Dhabi yeah so he was CRA two days on the

plane trying to cut weight there ended up getting knocked out um probably felt pretty good about this one I felt like

he had a full fight camp for this fight um and then came in and got submitted in

the first round first it was a really interesting strategy to go

for the guillotine on somebody who is so much taller it was it was just an interesting

strategy but you know he got he got a hold of it heeld on to it and he ended up getting that submission so yeah well

he put his head there yeah you know he put it he put it in the spot where you

people it's like it's strange to knee someone in the head when they bend

over because he's talls like n his head was there his head was in the line of

attack um and the other guy that he got that nasty submission off of he was

pretty tall and linky too um what was his name

uh uh fem whatever uh

Dobson no the other guy that tran Gore got the um Josh friend oh that nasty ye

on um he was pretty tall too so this is just his move like this is his nasty

move that he just like snatches onto a neck and just rips

him apart cuz that one was really gross like they he was have you seen that one

no he was basically dragging him like a dead body behind him it was really gross

I I kind of want to show it to you because it's

disturbing um but one funny thing that happened uh afterwards after he got this

uh crazy Guillotine submission um he was saying on on his postf fight speech like

oh you guys got to put some respect on my name like people have to start taking me seriously youall need to start like

you know blah blah blah and it sounded like he you couldn't tell if he was mad at the commentators or the matchmakers

or the fans or the other people in his weight class but he just seemed that like he had a chip on his

shoulder and he confirmed that in the press

conference oh okay first let me show you this look at this [ __ ] oh that's nasty

poor Fram it was so nasty but yeah he put his he put his head in the position

he went for that single leg he just framed got on top of it snatch the neck

up he likes the no arm Guillotines that's like his thing his go-to those are good ones too you don't want to mess

with the arm yeah all this adjusting you have to do yeah you got to go to your back usually it's it's not it's not as

fun I I really like the power Guillotine like the one that um uh your boy jordane

hit that's one of my favorite ones to do no harm yeah because you really can

cinch in and get on top of them and even if they're able to finish the Tak down you still have a really nice bite you

don't have to worry about them passing that's one of my favorite ones but his he just gets that elbow high he gets on

top or he gets underneath the neck and he really like puts his shoulder and weight on top but ahead and just

squeezes you know he has to have a crazy squeeze to be able to pick up friend like that and same thing with choli

who's a big ass guy was just able to wrench the neck yeah where the the head

goes the body follows yeah but uh he was actually a little pissed off at uh

Michael bisbing because as soon as he shot in on a Tak down bisbing was saying

oh uh I don't think it's a good idea for him to go to the ground with choli and I think and then the time

before he bisbing I guess or I don't know if it was bisbing but I think it was bisbing he was commenting on the

guillotine just being like a a power move it there was no technique it was

all strength well it worked um so take that to the bank it's it's hard it it's

hard to not take things personal but it's something

that everyone Fighters non-fighters need to understand is that it's it's not

personal people are going to say their opinions and sometimes it's it's none of your business what they think and it

doesn't do you any good to hear it and I understand he has you know a very big voice a big platform I understand it's

hard to ignore but very loud very loud very loud um but it you just can't take

these things personal um some people like we had uh raky who had a a big

fight uh sorry a big knockout on this card he also has a chip on his shoulder and he got emotional and you know his

postf fight speech it's just um you can't take things personal you can't let

things get to you just got to stay focused on the goal keep doing what you're doing and people will eventually

take notice and and respect but sometimes it takes just a little bit longer than a fighter would like yeah

and I think he kind of went back and forth with it like he started saying one thing about how he was being

disrespected disrespected but then he would go back and say well eventually you guys won't be able to disrespect me

you're going to have to take notice so it's it it was almost like he's just going through all the emotions in his

head very out loud in public and then in the press conference but uh he also said

that he respects him a lot and he knows that he hasn't done a lot in the MMA world yet but his plan is to do so much

that he gains the respect of people like Michael bising and that's the right mindset I think that's a very mature way

to address it where you still want to say your peace like you're like like

I'mma talk my [ __ ] I'm still gonna talk my [ __ ] but

you don't have to tell me what to think about the [ __ ] that I'm talking I already

know I already know this is a pointless Endeavor I like that he just like worked through it all by himself

yes he has a good head on his shoulders it he's one to watch he just

he's just got to keep winning and on it's it's frustrating though I understand I understand you want the the

acknowledgement you want the you know the money the you know whatever it is

the prestige um and when it doesn't come as fast as you think it's it's deserved I understand how it's frustrating yeah

yeah he he definitely seems like he has a good head on on his shoulders he made some good adjustments with his mental

with like the skills that he decided to start or focusing on and just really

started paying attention to all the things that you need to pay attention to uh as an athlete like not just the

mental side but like also the physical just making sure he's taking care of himself and all that so I'm excited for

Tran gour too because he's one of those people where I could have sworn he had way more fights than he does yeah

and I could I think it's just because I saw him on tough so I'm like okay that's why I feel like he's been a seven-year

veteran in the UFC but he's only six and two yeah he's just getting started in this sport that's wild just getting

started as well he's doing very well for himself uh how did you like your boy uh Radke's fight man radkey is a power

house he started off with a nice you know um one two three and his his hook

lands so heavy and he you know got into this

flurry of punches um with uh selberg with his back to the cage and was just

unrelenting and ended up getting him down I I think it was a good stoppage you were saying earlier that you thought maybe it was a little bit early right I

thought it was a little early and the reason I thought a lot of times it depends on when the referee jumps in

whether people are going to have an issue with it or not but it felt like the referee jumped in right as he was

stepping back to regroup like he was on his way to hit a reset and the referee

jumped in yeah I I understand that I just thought he

took too many unanswered punches I mean he was he was trying to block but I felt

like it was just going downhill from there it was but how many times have we seen people fight back how many times

have we seen people like get that Hill marry or Circle or recover and be able to get back into the fight so I don't

think that he was super upset about it but I definitely felt like they could

have let it go on a little longer just to make sure okay he's done done because it looked like he was like he was kind

of on the floor or like maybe like he hit one knee or something but he was

bouncing backwards like he was on his toes when the referee jumped in which is usually like a sign that the person's

okay when they're like bouncing and on their toes yeah it's just it's just one

of those things I I think that the ref had a front row view of what was going

on and I think that he just you know he made the call wanted to protect uh ssel

burger from any further damage yeah what was it siml burger siml siml burger siml

burger I call it smells Burger May the smells Burger I be that

annoying kid in his ele school like what are you eating smells Burger smells like

a burger does it smell good

yeah who farted must have been smells

Burger I bet it was fun growing up with that last name oh man bet he was super

popular uh how uh you were mentioned in rad Key's uh postf fight speech how awkward

was it it was you know what he was just he was having a moment he was also working through all of his thoughts and

emotions it was a full spectrum it was it was all of

them it's hard it's a really it's it's hard to always

know what to say in those moments and he just he was you know letting it all out

he has no regret no he doesn't he he would have that tattoo no no regrets you

know yes he just like that's the that's the tattoo I wanted and I'm sticking with it

dude like the way that he goes from I don't know asking for a bonus to

cussing out the people that give you the bonus to [ __ ] on everyone that he's

about to fight that he hasn't fought yet to crying about his family supporting him like that was every different type

of postf fight speech in one we got all of it we got everyone he delivered all

of it yeah like five different [Laughter]

movies it makes me wonder like what would it have sounded like if the fight

had gone on longer like would we have had more feelings more emotions would he

have just like run himself dry like I'm wondering maybe he didn't get enough of

his his the the chip on his shoulder out in that fight it didn't last long enough so he just you know had to unpack a lot

exactly CU he didn't get he wasn't allowed to knock him out if he had just let him knock him out he would have been

like thank you everyone I love my family and my wife I hope you all have a blessed day and then walk out of there

that's what he would have done if if the ref hadn't jumped in too soon but now he has blue balls ah knockout blue balls

nothing worse than that it's the worst thought of my whole career I've

never got a knockout oh no I know oh I know this must be so painful it's a

little in your girl balls it is your little it is your little fighter over every day

a that sucks well you can knock someone out of gem that'll make me feel better

just film it and post it and then everyone will know what happen such a dick move I know it's the worst the gym

is supposed to be a safe space hey no one told that to Sean Strickland

nope no safe spaces no safe househ nope he didn't grow up with them so he

doesn't give them oh no this is what happens protect your

children people I protect them just want to hug them give give them safe

spaces H well I mean we hit everything I think we kind of had a extra long um uh

first part of the thing but next week what do we have

J what do we have we have UFC 309 in Madison s

garden oh that's what it's going to sound like I know it's going to be insane in that

place we have Jon Jones taking on Stipe miic uh Charles Olivera and Michael

Chandler in the come event and then um following up we have Bo nickel and Paul

Craig among others so the Chandler ala fight is still on

yes is still on okay yeah there were rumors that they were looking for a

replacement oh don't do that don't do that we've been through enough ah yeah it's uh it's scary but

hopefully all the fight are fine and we'll make it through there do you have

P picks for the at least the first three

yeah I got Jones olera bonel and how Let's uh let's do our dual bits picks

all right dual bits picks you get them first I got Jon Jones by KO I'm not happy about it I don't want that to

happen but that's what I think's going to happen um I got Charles olera buy submission and I got Bo nickel KO okay I

kind of have the same thing well I have bone nickel by submission actually no no

it would probably be a k yeah I kind of have the same pics hey yeah let's go

let's go so there's some other fights on this card that we can kind of look at

I'm really excited about karini Silva she's she's a really dope flyweight Prospect um she is coming off of a

decision win against Aran lipsky and yeah I I feel like she's

going to be the next big thing we've seen her get a lot of submissions in the flyweight division um she's she's

creeping up there and then this fight is definitely going to put her um like

really close to that title shot because uh viven was pretty close to getting the

title as well yeah I feel like Vivan roio I think that um she's really solid

really solid fighter but I feel like um karini Silva is going to outpace her

just out out um volume her yeah and just um give her a really hard time yeah so

I'm excited about that one I also love her hair she has the only other female

afro in the UFC and I love it because of

that so go all the reason to for her yeah that's a who what other reasons do

you need I mean she's a finisher but like it's like me when I watch Like team

sports I'll go for like the mascot that I like you know or or if there's you

know a really cool player on the team I'll just be like all right that's my team that's are you a are you a big fan

of the uh WNBA team that's in Washington

DC can't say that I am they or no no no it's the um the New York WNBA team they

have the best mascot it's like a a elephant with eyelashes

oh sign me up yeah I'll find a picture of her

um but yeah I'm excited about that fight and who else do we have on that

card oh we have Jim Miller taking on Damon Jackson o uh we have Chris Weidman he's

a home kind of guy's taking on Eric Anders uh make sure to catch our interview with

him we have it in uh the archives on our YouTube channel which you guys are watching on right now or on spotifi oh

my gosh look at her I love her oh that's the best we have Jonathan

Martinez taking on Marcus McGee oh there's some really good fights on this card Marcus McGee is another

fighter I'm really excited about and it makes me sad because Jonathan Martinez is also a fighter I'm really excited

about so it it's kind of sad when the prospects finally have to meet each

other do you know what I just realized we are missing out we were supposed to have Anthony Smith and Dominic Reyes on

this card we were supposed to but it was cancelled oh when did that happen I

don't know I didn't even know about it but now I'm kind of bummed yeah I wish I had never known I know right I wonder

why that happened I'm thinking it was Dominic Rees he gets injured a lot yeah he's had

a rough one he finally uh got back into wind column though so it's it's kind of

it sucks that he didn't get to get on this card um but yeah Marcus McGee is

someone I'm really excited about Mickey Gul is fighting again um our friend Bassel Haz basil basil basil Hayden Fez

and then uh we have Eduardo Mora moving up to her right good for her she does

not need to be cutting that much weight versus Veronica Hardy who you got for that one I got Veronica Hardy yeah me

too me too it just seems like a tough skill matchup for someone who's so

heavily stacked in one area like eduarda she could show up you know and she'll

probably have a lot more steam without cutting that much weight she's a big girl like I remember when I saw her

um Brazil card she was bigger than Jenna I was just oh my God she was she was it was

her fight week or our fight week she was getting ready for her straw weight fight

which she did not make weight for and legit when I met her that Tuesday she

was bigger than our friend Jenna Bishop who fights at flyweight who was not at

fight week she was not so um yeah we'll see

we'll see what happens with that but uh she's definitely a big girl and she might be able to bring it to Hardy with

her uh like Jiu-Jitsu pedigree but I think Hardy's going to be able to

nullify her she just has more tools yeah and Mora still she's one of those um you

know Contender series uh people that got onto the show from winning on the

contender series and I just don't think her game is well-rounded enough for to

be there not that she doesn't not that she can't win not that she doesn't deserve it it's just it's a really tough

place to learn as you're going and to like obtain those skills you want them

you already want those skills and of course you're sharpen them always and you're always adding to your tool belt

but it's just it's hard because she's just so grappling

dominant yeah and uh you can tell that everything is just set up to get her

there but she doesn't look super comfortable on the feet yet she did land

some nasty elbows on poor Cano um with the ground and bound so we know that she

can do damage if she's able to get to a control position and get on top and we know she can submit we know she can hurt

so it's going to be exciting when to open up the card I'm I wonder if New York's going to play it cool or if

they're all going to show up for the first fight I I don't know I know right cuz

Madison Square Garden so it's like they might try to play it cool but it's

Madison Square Garden I know and these are the early prelims early prelim prelims and then we have the main card

so that's a long night that's like 10 hours of fights there's so many fights on here that's a long 15 fights on

they're trying to make it worth that $90 that they just bumped it up to for a pay-per-view oh my God I can't believe

it I can't believe it well I'm excited about next week's card unfortunately I

won't be able to be there in person but I already got to see Jen

Jones so I got to poke him oh just get some of

that great off of him yeah yeah he like sprinkles some just a little bit you can

spare little shoulder flake little flake off the elbow so I can rub it onto mine
