0:23

0:38

0:45
yeah right like I used to always like Love Angela bassett's arms and I'm like
0:51

it's okay your toe was in my mouth the other day so hey not the fun way guys loved it
1:55
totally loved it that is funny how
2:01
um how it's all about
2:07
context is it everything yeah like I could be doing some crazy
2:13
stuff to a guy that I'm grappling with but like if your husband caught you like
2:20
watching TV with a guy and you're doing the same thing it's so completely different story yeah but since you guys
2:26
have a mouthpiece in and you're on a mat it's fine yeah it's fine it's okay to mount a man I'm just trying to do
2:33
violence I'm not trying to do anything that would cost me my marriage it's okay if he takes my back here
2:41
yes so one thing one thing I got to ask has there ever been a time where you had a crush on a guy that you were rolling
2:48
with and and you got into these awkward positions and it and it did mean a little something more than trying to
2:53
beat each other up yeah there I was like I wonder if he's feeling this too a
3:00
I'm like I am oddly turned on right now the like uh the like Dawson's Creek music
3:09
starts it was the movie that kiss
3:15
me he takes your back he starts hunting for the seat belt yeah get it well get
3:22
it choke me yeah I've got to fight your hands with my chin
3:32
there have been times where I've been rolling with someone I'm like I didn't know I found you attractive until this moment o I was like wow nice hips nice
3:39
pass right there like it's like anything you know how they say that it's it's uh
3:45
not the size but the motion in the ocean it's like if you don't have that Swagger when you roll it can be like a total
3:52
like ick thing no there are some people that just like move really well yeah
3:58
it's just like damn he's good oh yeah that's hot like
4:03
wow now this doesn't happen all the times don't get weird I'm sure there will be some weird comments about this
4:09
but I don't care I'm in my 40s full disclosure I can't be
4:17
bothered no it's definitely um fun rolling with a crush
4:23
um has there ever been like somebody that you were rolling with and then Adam was like
4:30
no he's so secure I don't know what about him makes
4:36
him so secure but he's just like she'll be
4:42
back it's nice to know that he knows what he brings to the table yeah he's the full package you know like he does
4:48
everything for me he's like we still got the spark that we had when we first met
4:54
when we were young and dumb and uh yeah he Totally Secure that like I'm not
5:00
looking at anyone else and I'm not and I'm not but like there is like a Swagger
5:06
in some people who you train with uh just like fighting a biling and stuff
5:11
where you're like well if I wasn't
5:17
married but at the same time they're a fighter so they're probably broke they
5:22
probably these are just totally like crushes in my mind yeah that are like
5:28
that only live there that will only ever live there yeah they're not gone
5:33
anywhere I've been around for too long to know I know better yeah old and wise
5:39
oh my goodness he's like over 30 he's really waiting for that Contender
5:45
series God he's like can you put a word in for me with like no you ruined it the
5:52
fantasy is gone it just became too real oh that's so funny can't even fantasize
5:58
about you alone anymore that's like usually immediately where my brain goes I'm like oh they're
6:05
cute and like like not good for anything else no no no no
6:11
no h sorry guys hey if you're out there and you're not a fighter this should be
6:17
great news to you a fighter is not going to be the one that pulls Jess
6:24
noran oh never mind I just want to be left alone oh man
6:31
you got a little bit of my chocolate on your lip oh really and it's not even grappling
6:38
[Laughter]
6:46
day they're like oh the person she's talking about is
6:52
JZ I know I by the way I I only train with women now so I haven't had these
6:57
fantasies in a very long time yeah this it's been a long time it's been years it's been so many
7:05
years well what do you want to talk about we you mentioned uh the girl who cut weight yeah so we have um and this
7:13
is this is old news this happened a while ago but um Diana Silva um her
7:19
manager is speaking out about the you know calling for serious changes in in weight cutting and MMA and so the new
7:27
organization that I'm going to be fighting for the the gfl they were talking about doing hydration rules but
7:33
instead they settled on doing three weight classes so we have 110 which is technically atom weight we have 125
7:40
which they're calling straw weight I don't I don't get that I think we should just call it what it is it's f is 125
7:45
and they're yeah okay and then 140 is uh Banton okay um so they they originally
7:54
thought that they were going to do this like hydration thing so that people like aren't going to cut weight as as
8:00
severely but the thing is and then you know going back to this article with this girl that you know really had a
8:06
tough weight cut she ended up in the hospital um but you still got chocolate let me live Angela I don't want you
8:13
talking about this lick I don't want you to get into a really serious part of the conversation
8:20
like chocolate she was in a
8:27
coma like cool cookie
8:32
crumbs cookie crumbs um yeah anyway sorry you're saying so or organizations
8:41
try and have these hydration rules they try and get around it the the thing is people are always going to cut weight
8:47
because money is on the line yes now when I first started fighting I was 1214 lbs and I you're making a old
8:57
joke no I mean every technically it was 112 years
9:04
ago very good but I used to always fight at 110 and 115 I I never cut weight um
9:12
when I got into the Bellator tournament I still didn't cut weight I was still I still weighed like 110 PBS but that's
9:20
when everybody started cutting weight because all of a sudden there's money on the line so I remember zoa frosto was on
9:26
that and she [ __ ] up her body so bad huge she was a 135
9:32
125 and she cut all the way down to 115 and she never made that weight again after that tournament she screwed up her
9:37
body so badly she won the tournament just because of of
9:43
size and because it was just you know that was the biggest opportunity at the time yeah but what it did was it screwed
9:51
up her body so much that she never really recovered from it yeah cuz uh I remember um when I was a lowly fan and
9:59
that to fight her I would talk [ __ ] about the fact that she was always walking around with the belt and she
10:05
couldn't make the weight like she would always be like I'm the champ of this weight class but it's like you can't make the weight again so why are you
10:12
doing that but you know they they did they not want to do a a tournament at
10:19
135 okay anyway this old this old drama that this is this is old stuff but don't
10:25
really care about but but the thing is so you know people people people cut weight because there's money on the line
10:31
because there's opportunity because they you know that it you get an
10:37
advantage from being the biggest person in there you do you don't have to fill in the gaps that you would need to do if
10:42
you're competing at a healthy weight class that's that's just what it is um
10:47
so he's calling for these changes in in weight but the thing is it's it is the fighters responsibility to manage their
10:54
weight properly yeah to make weight in a healthy way and you have to be honest with yourself if you cannot make the
11:02
weight in a healthy way and perform at your best then you shouldn't be at that weight class then you need to go up M
11:08
this is it's frustrating though because there will always be people trying to get that Advantage because it is such an
11:14
advantage it is I mean why do you think Reus still fights at 115 yeah because
11:20
she feels like she get both of those girls look chunky in there you know but she feels like she gets this extra
11:25
Advantage from being uh the bigger girl in there when really her weight class is
11:31
125 there's a lot of people who are kind of in the middle too which is why they bounce around like she could be a
11:37
perfect 12er uhhuh you know um she might feel really small 125 but that's that's
11:44
the fear when you cut a lot of weight you fear being the smallest person in there and it's it's not a fun feeling I
11:52
mean we've been the smallest person in there most of our fights no I hate it it's know and you feel a different
12:00
when um you go up against someone who is your size or who is smaller than you
12:05
like whenever I train with an Adam weight I'm like oh this is this must be how uh all these other big hoes I fight
12:12
Phil when they fight me feeling isn't it yeah was like oh get out of here that
12:18
doesn't work get out of here you're 10 pounds lighter than me yeah Boop get out
12:24
of smack him down yeah yeah stop it stop trying to fight me
12:29
little girl like that's how they fil when they fight us so uh I understand
12:36
the want to cut weight but when your health is on the line I think a lot of times we're so desensitized to what a
12:44
bad weight cut looks like that we don't understand the the weight of like bad
12:52
repercussions we don't understand that we could be killing a person allowing them to cut weight in a bad way and I
12:58
think um with the pi that that's been a really good step in keeping people from
13:06
getting to that point where they are so hurt so messed up that they can't fight
13:11
that they can't walk they can't live like the pi has been a good step for the uufc to get rid of that whole thing but
13:18
we're still killing our bodies still they're still cutting a ton of weight they're still cutting a ton of doing it
13:23
in the healthiest way possible yeah so it's still bad for you and um you want to negate
13:29
like the side effects as much as possible and the best way to do that is by trying to put on a little more weight
13:36
if you feel small for a weight class and then not cutting as much like those that's just the easiest answer and there
13:43
is there is a science to it there is a healthy way or a healthier way of going
13:49
about it there is kind of a right way to go about it and there are still people that
13:55
are you know a little bit less educated on the subject that will you know try it
14:00
try different ways like I I even think the pi people are figuring it out as
14:06
they go well and everybody's different I mean um I my body holds a lot more body
14:12
fat so I have to like do things a little bit differently than somebody who has a little bit more lean muscle mess than me
14:18
um there are like Angela water just comes off of her my
14:24
fat holds on to it it just does it's it's science I'm serious science
14:31
but it is and it's not you know I remember the first time I tried you know
14:36
to cut a little bit of water weight I was listening to a man's way of doing it
14:41
and it's just different than a female's you know um for me I have to diet a lot more I have to be strict with my diet I
14:47
have to do a little bit more cardio I have to do these things whereas some people can just you know sit in a sun on the water come off there there are ways
14:54
to do it there are healthier ways to do it but there also um one size doesn't fit at all um men and women cut
15:02
differently um females have different body types different body composition so do men it's just it's different for
15:09
everyone and like you were saying the pi makes it a little bit safer they have a little bit more um you know knowledge
15:15
and experience with it and they keep you know all the data on it so it's it's
15:21
just one of those things that we can't really get around at this point and
15:27
where the sports at M just because it it means too much yeah and I'm wondering
15:33
what happened um with this girl's weight cut in particular like what she weighed
15:39
in at when she got to fight week um if they were keeping track of that because
15:44
that's something that I feel like they kept track of an evicted too like what
15:50
you were when you arrived and just to get an idea of if the fight's going to
15:56
happen because sometimes people arrive and they're obviously like 30 lbs overweight well and that's and and
16:03
that's like um what the pi does like they check on you throughout Camp they
16:09
know what you're starting your camp at they know what your what's your targeted um arriving weight and then you adjust
16:16
from there you know what I'm saying like there there are steps to it and some people will just be like I'm just going
16:22
to cut it fight week yeah or some people would be like Oh I'm just not going to drink water for two days
16:29
and then sweat it out you're not gonna sweat [ __ ] out there's nothing to sweat no your body is shutting down you
16:35
haven't drank water you have no water in you your body is going to try and hold on to that so it can live mhm yeah you
16:42
it's it it really is a a science experiment every time you cut weight and I feel like now that I'm at something
16:50
maybe I think 30 something fights now I I have a pretty good understanding of
16:56
how it's going to go but also your body changes is uh especially when you're younger um I think she was younger right
17:03
in her 20s yeah and she also said so she took the fight on 14 days notice oh so
17:09
already it's a it's a short notice she's already big for the division she wants to it's just it's a lot it's a lot on
17:16
the body and again like people want to take short notice fights because it's a huge opportunity you know get your name
17:22
out there you do them a favor they're going to do you a favor and you just have to be like on honest with yourself
17:30
and figure out if that's the best thing for you and in this case for her it was not MH and I wish cases like this got
17:38
more publicity because I feel like it would make people take uh more
17:43
precautions when they go to cut weight I think when you especially when you're an
17:48
athlete as a child you feel like the weight's going to come off easy every time like even if you're way overweight
17:55
cuz you did it once when you were 15 but but guess what you're 255 now your
18:01
metabolism is slow slowed down a bit and you probably hit a growth spurt so it's
18:06
going to be harder to get down to that weight that you used to fight at and um yeah a lot of a lot of these little
18:12
learning things it's also on the coaches to know their fighter and to see like oh
18:18
this one isn't looking as good but I think if we we saw that more often like
18:24
when a weight cut went bad and the health problems that you get after that then I think people would take that more
18:30
seriously like at least like doing the research themselves doing um test cuts
18:37
and just really understanding your body yeah I think all these things are important and they're things that people
18:43
don't take seriously until they have to until you're in the hospital in a coma
18:49
until you're in the hospital in a coma your kidneys are shutting down and yeah it just oh cuz he didn't want to drink
18:55
water for two days crazy it is
19:02
crazy um so we've talked um we've also talked a lot about what judges and refs
19:08
can do for um just like keeping checks and balances of how
19:17
how they're doing and and how they're doing it and you had brought up like oh I think that you know they should take a
19:23
test I think they should watch footage and go around and figure out who they think won who they lost and why and um
19:31
we got a clip of it that uh bkfc is actually having this done awesome they're actually doing that with their
19:37
with their refs and judges so I thought that was um a step in the right direction you know I think it's um a
19:43
little bit easier in bare knuckle to to get it right because most of them end with uh with cuts or St yeah that's
19:52
true but I did like seeing that I really liked seeing that um they were doing
19:57
this kind of conf for setting uh where they were you know calling people out and making people like justify why they
20:04
thought it was a win why they thought it was a loss and just kind of um you know keeping the education going yeah I love
20:10
that and and maybe other promotions will take suit
20:15
seeing this happen and seeing the reaction that it gets um I I I I would
20:21
like to see more because the clip that you showed me it was still kind of vague they weren't really talking about the
20:28
process or or what they're doing in order to educate the the the judges and
20:34
the refs but I love it I love that they're doing that and I think um I
20:40
think stuff like this happens in the UFC but it's I'm not
20:45
sure I'm not sure how much influence it has on the actual way that judges judge
20:51
fights like I still feel like there has to be some kind
20:57
of way of judging the judges if that like in the same way if we lose five
21:04
fights in a row we're probably going to get cut like if you misjudge five fights
21:09
in a row then you at least have to explain why you judge things these ways
21:15
because if you're talking to a judge that has a vendetta against doing things by the book like Sal deato then they
21:23
might say well I don't think leg kicks exist or I don't think uh uh blah blah
21:29
blah and just say something that's totally off the- wall and not in the rule book and he's able to keep continue
21:36
to judge fights and now I he's not judging fights anymore but that was one of the things one of the like stories
21:44
about salato that existed years before he Doug Crosby I mean Sal deato I'm so
21:51
sorry you're not that bad wait a minute Doug Crosby Crosby he suck Doug Crosby
21:58
my bad but yeah now you're like Sal model just judged a fight like last
22:06
night and I agreed with it good job salado's name pops up every
22:13
now and then but he's more of a Mark Smith he's not like a Herb Dean of or no
22:19
who's the guy who does the heart yamasaki yes he's not him Mark uh is it
22:26
Mark yamasaki no what was his name the guy who would like let people
22:32
die please hold yeah he's not one of those um but
22:38
yeah Doug Crosby would go and tell people how he preferred to judge fights as opposed to
22:45
how he's supposed to and Mario Mario Mario we haven't heard from him in
22:52
years where is he is gone where where he could be a couple
22:59
places the bottom of a rivered he could be in Japan or he could be in Mario yamasaki now um he lives in Bethesda
23:10
Maryland oh Bethesda Bethesda Bethesda with his family and slips his
23:16
time with Sal uh in Sal Pao Brazil he co-owns and operates a China Brazilian jiu-jitsu schools and also owns a
23:23
construction company in the United States oh man he is also an MMA RoR
23:28
actually has not been updated okay this is AI yeah but he splits time between
23:35
Brazil and Maryland why Bethesda That's So Random cheap out there H not that
23:43
cheap that's where they uh create the Fallout games bees the studios oh yeah
23:49
for all you nerds and nerdit out there um yeah so I I like that they're doing
23:56
this I think it's a step in the right direction I want more of it and it's cool that bkfc can start it because they
24:04
give a nice abbreviated version of what a MMA one could look like whoa he
24:11
actually sorry what back to Bethesda um no uh he's been ring pfl
24:24
pfl what if pfl couldn't disappoint me more
24:30
[ __ ] PF yo are you serious that's not fake news I'm going to read I feel like
24:37
that's news that the UFC put out as propaganda Dana White said run
24:45
it oh yeah they said he made a return that's insane when did he uh when was
24:53
his last fight that he raed I guess 2024 that is insane I can't believe
25:00
that a wild Mario Sami Mario yamasaki appears
25:07
what well that's just dangerous wow well what did he have to do to get back in
25:14
there I hope he had to take some of those
25:19
tests uh I think he uh did two fights oh he did one of
25:26
Dakota's fights wow Wow versus Cornelia
25:31
Hol I wonder how that went wonder if he let her die
25:38
there well damn well I bet Chris Curtis would have loved for yamasaki to be ring
25:46
his figh let me die yeah that's the thing you Fighters are usually okay with it as long as it's not someone they're
25:53
watching if it's them they're like H yeah it's a little bit different it's
25:58
different it's different man well did you see that guy that was streaking yes and then jumped in the
26:07
cage oh my God not the UFC but in the MMA fight that's so wild I feel like the
26:15
world is just going to get more and more wild the more like MMA becomes I take it
26:22
as a positive yeah like MMA is just like a household name we're up on the level of soccer and football yeah we have
26:31
streakers now guys I think that means we're on our way so we're going to have
26:36
Hooligans we kind of already do kind of like I mean I feel like if you had a
26:42
McGregor card and he lost the island guys aren't going to go trashing things but that's probably the
26:50
closest I've been um I I was in Rio and the um soccer team lost and there was a
26:57
[ __ ] riot in the street dang like we need to get to that level yeah RI that
27:02
level of emotional like craziness if you pick the right City you could probably have a
27:09
riot the next time omali loses yeah you got to pick the right City like what's
27:15
the mo what town has the most [ __ ] Boys in it like you maybe la like maybe 311
27:23
would have been a good scene for the mly crowd see I feel like
27:29
I don't know it would it would be somebody maybe Miami maybe Boston oh
27:34
Boston Boston get down Boston yeah that I feel Philly Philly
27:41
Philly fali well not fali but I was just thinking of Alvarez that's what I was
27:46
saying yes my god oh hi hey hi honey I got excited I got excited thinking about
27:54
Jeremy versus uh Jeremy Stevens versus Eddie Alvarez oh no when he beats Alvarez there's going to be a riot yo
28:01
come on Philly make us happy there BR you got to bring the umbrellas so you can escort him out like a geston had to
28:08
oh my gosh so crazy that was nuts when Jeremy we were there when um I was on
28:15
the card when Jeremy fought uh Yer in Mexico City and when he got that eye
28:23
poke and they announced that he couldn't continue they started throwing full full beers into the middle of the cage
28:30
throwing everything changed like it was it was a bad bad look people had to hide
28:36
under the cage under the tables it was insane it was insane and they were already pissed cuz I'm not I
28:43
think it was the co main event but Carla had fought Alexa grao and they were
28:49
already angry because grao it was pretty clear she lost the first two but they
28:54
were very close and then she just went after after it in the third round and
28:59
got a big third round but she lost and rightfully so but as Carla is walking
29:07
out they are booing at her they dump beer on her head one guy got really
29:12
close and was able to dump an entire pint of beer on her head yeah and uh
29:18
security took care of him and we never saw him again no but
29:23
apparently that guy worked for a UFC gym in Mexico City
29:28
Guy come on guy you're you're supposed to represent the
29:33
brand I like that he didn't go to the seminars and he was never invited back
29:41
no no but uh yeah poor Cara she got a beard dumped on her um I think it's kind
29:47
of a cool story though you know I don't know I feel feel like I was
29:53
I was sad that nobody cared that I won my fight
29:58
like eh we don't care about the girl you beat you should have fought a Mexican she was Brazilian not one of ours I know
30:03
it was supposed to be well no the other girl was Brazilian too oh well next time next time there's
30:11
still a chance you'll get to live that yeah maybe I could rematch lopy in Mexico City and like I poker or
30:18
something I'll find somebody I'll slip him a five hey go pour you'll buy the
30:23
beer for them just go she'll love it it it'll be a great story you might get
30:31
beat up beyond recognition afterwards by the security but it would be a great story she's
30:38
gonna love it headlines headlines everywhere yeah there you go
30:43
famous oh man yeah that that was wild uh they just re started uh announcing some
30:50
of the fights for the Mexico City card this year and our friend gas Meine is
30:55
booked on there she's going to be fighting Julia lry who just fought our girl Corey that would be a good one yeah
31:03
that would be interesting yeah and uh the altitude is always like a thing that
31:08
I wonder who's going to thrive in that environment who's going to suffer yeah that um the altitude is I
31:16
think the tougher fight yeah a lot of times this sucks it it's awful I've I
31:25
the last time I was in altitude I just got winded walking from my bed to the
31:30
bathroom oh and I wasn't there training or fighting yeah I was just there for vacation just hanging out I mean it's
31:37
it's worse when you're in shape because as soon as you walk up a flight of stairs you go oh I'm not in shape y I'm
31:45
not in shape at all like at least when you're not training you you expect it yeah altitude or not you expect it but
31:53
no this is normal this is fair it's fair no when I'm in fight Camp I pride being able to zip up the the stairs at Fashion
32:00
Valley Mall I'm just like oh I'm like Rocky right
32:08
now but yeah altitude gives you no kind of pleasure like that you just sucking for air the entire time you have you
32:15
can't sleep it's hard to breathe while sleeping you feel like you're gonna die yeah it feels like a cat's on your chest
32:21
yeah yeah it's rough so uh yeah I always wonder what that's going to look like who else is on that card I was just
32:28
looking through this ufc2 uh is March 20
32:35
something 20 something yeah I think like 28th uh 22nd oh it's us ESPN
32:45
64 oh my my card doesn't go that far back okay I got announce bouts here o
32:52
Diego Lopez versus Yer Rodriguez oh hey
32:58
there's going to be a riot yeah there's that's well they're both Mexican right oh wait no [ __ ] I keep forgetting Diego
33:05
Lopez you're not a Lopez with a z nope he's of the S variety I feel like
33:12
he's one of those ones that just people are okay with though like remember uh verdum when he fought uh oh K Velasquez
33:21
yeah came Vasquez in in Mexico people weren't that mad about it because he spoke Spanish he was just a really fun
33:28
character and yeah they they weren't they weren't hating I think he also spent like two months of his Camp there
33:35
too Kan Velasquez is also Mexican American yeah so they're not as he's not
33:40
a Yer yeah Yer is like born and bread and and he wears a cowboy hat yeah there
33:48
you go there you go um let's see who else go Gastelum versus Joe Piper or
33:54
feifer pyer right fer Piper there's no h Piper oh Piper
34:04
okay what um who else do I know Jose Medina
34:10
do we know him yeah is that is he a flyweight what what weight is he middle oh wait I don't know no I was I was
34:17
thinking uh uh Charles Rose's boy might be what's his name uh
34:25
Daniel okay there are no Daniels here uh but yeah looks looks like a fun card
34:31
shaping it Kevin Gastelum is coming back yeah that's I missed that I miss I only
34:36
heard joer pyer or Fifer I I think I say it differently every time I say it
34:43
literally I have not said it the same way no no I don't think we he has a podcast so maybe we should just watch
34:50
that Brady bags and eventually he'll say it what it's Brady bag show Brady bags
34:56
yeah oh okay so the the podcast they do one together oh with Brady okay Brady okay and what's
35:04
bags mean I don't know get that get that money oh okay got get that bag gotcha
35:10
all right so yeah I'm assuming I feel like he probably just calls him Joe on that though like we're never gonna hear
35:17
pyer or Fifer I'll find [Music] out I'll watch uh we'll just have to
35:24
watch a fight um yeah anything else uh no we got some uh we got some fights
35:30
coming up next week oh yeah yeah yeah UFC 31 we have uh Islam mahak Chev versus
35:38
Armen San if I said that right suian cukan I did
35:44
not and then we have uh your boy morab versus Omar and then um Yuri versus our
35:52
boy Jamal yeah let's go yeah get your tickets
35:58
I did me too yeah so hopefully we have fights that'll be fun to go see them
36:05
fights I'll bring my uh what's so that mask that we had to wear during Co in
36:13
63 in 64 mask you're not wearing that huh you're not wearing it I'm wearing it
36:19
you're not wearing it I'm wearing it I'm a fight Camp I got to protect my lungs from the fire okay um if you must
36:28
I'm going to be happy when I'm cardio cardio kinging this girl so that that's
36:34
uh that's all I'm worried about right now but that should be fun um I love watching Jamal fight he's such a
36:41
character and I feel like he gets a lot of crap for just being himself like I
36:51
feel like people just don't get it I think he's so funny and so likable
36:58
andwhere there he did like a heish kind and people have not people can't get off
37:04
that he train with him and he's leaning into it and I kind of I just wish that
37:09
people could see him for how awesome he is and how cuz he's so likable he is
37:14
he's hilarious I think anyone who talks crap about him online if they spent five minutes with him oh you change your tune
37:21
so fast yeah like on a train or just like I don't know had had a beer next to
37:27
him him you would be a fan for life absolutely yeah he's a really awesome
37:32
guy um and him versus yui should be a really fun one too like just a standup
37:40
battle uh even though they could both grapple but probably going to be a standup battle I'm interested to see how
37:47
uh Jamal approaches this this is one of those fights where people are really excited about happening when he had the
37:53
belt so in three rounds I feel like we can get maybe even more exciting version
37:58
of that it's um it's always nice when you know you have three instead of five cuz you can just like really let it all
38:05
out you don't have to worry about that fourth and fifth round yeah like you know what I can be tired later it's fine
38:10
yeah we're just going to go for it I'm going first round I'm getting this done so I can go
38:17
enjoy myself I don't want to be in here with you that long uh yeah and Yuri you know
38:23
he has a gas tank for days he just like keeps going and going always doing something crazy like you'll think he'll
38:29
be almost knocked out and then he just explodes into something out of nowhere
38:35
so that's something that uh that that Jamal's gonna have to be aware of too
38:41
like just because he's starting to fade doesn't mean he's going to like disappear but I don't know like I like
38:48
watching Jamal's fight versus Glover and Yuri's fight versus Glover because I
38:54
feel like you you just see um similar Tendencies
39:00
to what could happen in this match up like uh it's going to be
39:05
nonstop oh absolutely I think this is going to be I I pick this one for fight
39:11
of the night because I feel like um the way that they fight the way they put
39:16
everything on the line and kind of like the unorthodox uh like the possibility of it
39:22
I feel like this is going to be like one for the fans yeah and the other one
39:27
um I mean I think morab and Umar could be a really fun grappling type match but
39:33
I think it's going to be a little bit more um strategic and a little bit more cautious from both of them um a little
39:41
bit more um calculated I feel like Mor Rob's just GNA try to swarm them like
39:48
try to start the fight as quickly as possible so they can he can really empty
39:53
the gas tank on him I see morab just trying to get in his face CU you know that one thing about when you're finding
39:59
a good wrestler excuse me the best way to not get taken down is to push forward and a
40:06
lot of times it feels like that's counterproductive because if you push forward with like a loopy Punch or or
40:14
kickoff balance then they can dip underneath it but you'll see the dip before it happens whereas when you're
40:21
moving backwards the wrestler will just look like they're moving forward even though they're moving forward and
40:26
dipping that at the same time so it's easier to kind of see where that takedown is coming from when you're
40:32
pressing forward and that's one thing Rob does the best out of anyone in his weight class he's just pressure pressure
40:39
pressures people um to the point where they feel smothered and then when you try to come back that's when he gets his
40:45
own takedowns too so I'm I'm excited to see how this plays out um if anyone can
40:51
beat Mor Rob it's Umar uh he's bringing all the all the skills to the table um
40:57
the the best coach in the business too he has The Cheat Codes so if he gets if
41:04
he gets there if he gets there I hope he made it just fly first class bro like call
41:14
Dana talk Dana tell them to get the jet out there for you so you don't have to deal with this number one [ __ ] um
41:23
but yeah uh I'm excited to see how it plays out because uh it's it's very a lot of people are
41:30
saying that morab can lose his Bel I'm not sure what the odds are do you know I don't know what the odds are but Umar is
41:36
dangerous especially with um with when he keeps range you know he um and he
41:41
throws everything with power
41:49
um let's see what the odds are um Rob is a plus 250 Umar is a minus 334 my Rob is
41:58
the dog in this fight he likes it though he likes being a dog that's fine
42:05
yeah yeah I'm I'm excited to see how that fight plays out and then the
42:10
main yes who you got I'm gonna go for
42:15
Islam yeah yeah I just I think he's a beast I think he's big for the division
42:21
and I think he um mixes up his striking and his grappling so well and he's
42:27
really um come a long way with his with his striking you saw those pictures of
42:32
uh suuki though right gosh everybody everybody's talking about how
42:38
sui is on steroids where has uh where has NADA been newada she's looking lean
42:45
and mean they're not allowed over there you think Jon Jones made the ma
42:51
made her feel uncomfortable and they never saw her again yeah
43:00
she should have been in kitchen making sandwich for a husband let this be
43:05
lesson oh man well this uh this matchup is already exciting but now with surin's
43:13
new physique uh he definitely looks I don't know very symmetrical he looks
43:19
like he uh took a dip in the Ooze oh yeah the Ooze the Ooze Chris is talking
43:25
about he got some of that ooze for sure uh how do you see this fight playing
43:31
out I feel like Islam is going to come forward with his strikes and and pressure pressure the
43:38
takedown kind of what he always does you know yeah um not saying that surkin is
43:43
not going to be you know participating in this fight I think they're I think they both have similar strengths I just
43:49
think that Islam is kind of on another level with it yeah I don't think Islam's been slowing down with the progression
43:56
yes cian's got a lot better since they first fought too but Islam was already ahead of him and he's been learning on
44:03
the job he's been improving uh his he he's not having to be in there that long
44:10
and when he is he just destroys the person so I'm I I I can't wait to see
44:15
how this one plays out too we're calling uh Islam the goat this is one of those
44:21
fights that solidify that where for everyone who's on the fence who for everyone who's like yes to defend more
44:28
he only defended against vul and porier uh this is going to be that one
44:33
that solidifies his career and then you know he can start clearing out the division or jumping up and down going
44:41
for champ champ stuff but this is going to be a really awesome test for him and
44:46
uh who do you see winning Islam you got Islam I got Islam
44:52
too I wouldn't I wouldn't be mad on an upset you know I wouldn't be mad I think that you know maybe maybe Su could get
44:57
the KO maybe but um I think if it goes the distance I'm going for for Islam
45:03
yeah yeah and we know uh Islam's dangerous in that last round too like he
45:08
has no quit in him he's always grabbing for something figuring out making his
45:14
calculations I feel like he's a little more nuanced still on the ground than sirian is um but that strength can make
45:21
a difference so we shall see so we're both doing Islam for the main who you
45:26
got for the co um my heart says Mor Rob don't you do that you can't pick heart
45:34
bets and I'm going for I'm going for morab but I wouldn't be surprised if put Mar
45:39
one no I'm going to go for morab you're cheated I know I hate when people do
45:44
heart bets cuz it's like oh so I can't make fun of how stupid you are when they lose because because it was a heartb
45:52
yeah exactly no you got to stick by your bet it's a strategy it is everything and
45:58
it works every time the world is a strategy well I'm going with my heart
46:07
too making a heart B let's go moral yeah I love a dog and
46:12
then um and then for sure I'm going for Jamal and that's not just cuz he's my that's that's not just a heartb no no
46:19
that's not my brain had some say in this one it did it did we made we made an
46:25
agreement yeah brain heart handshake they don't always agree no
46:31
they don't they really don't um yeah uh we got the same picks this
46:37
week so no gloating rights I guess no gloating rights not like I got to it was
46:43
the best birthday present Darren winning was the best birthday present so I could
46:49
gloat to Jess about knowing everything about
46:54
MMA but I didn't I did say decision so you were WR I [ __ ] up yeah well uh
47:02
yeah it should be a good night of fights is there any other fight on that card on 311 you're excited about aside from
47:10
those three and then we will get the [ __ ] out um the the other two below that
47:15
we got benil darush and hanado moano I got moano in that one and then um Kevin
47:22
Holland and uh rainard deritter o who
47:27
newcomer uh to the UFC um I got Holland in that one you're betting with your
47:33
heart I no I'm not I remember watching him and I'm like how is he he has a
47:40
champion broken R weird he yeah he's a
47:45
weird one but he finds a way to win when I I don't get it I don't get it he sold
47:53
his soul to the devil of fighting because he's just going and then just drop the guy and
48:00
jump on no I mean talk about like somebody who has big gaps for being at such a high level like crazy there is
48:09
very very little striking IQ on him uh but he makes it work for him yeah but if
48:15
there's one thing Kevin Holland knows is how to fill in a gap yes he does with
48:20
his fists and his words yes he is a segue Master he uh he's good
48:27
at Transitions and I think he's going to have what it takes to um just take advantage of those like holes in raina's
48:35
game it's it's glaringly obvious it's it's like uh those dricus dupies videos
48:42
that that have been going around where the person is just like how how does he
48:47
keep getting away with this and it's all his like bumbling moments where he's
48:54
like some people just they make it he just makes it work it's insane it
49:00
really is but it's really impressive at the same time so uh we'll see if uh if
49:06
Holland will be able to withstand that and I think I hate to say it but I think I I'm going with u Muay Kano too he's
49:13
just been tearing through people he a psychopath yeah and fun to watch yeah
49:18
and darche has been showing some openings um in his last few losses so I
49:24
feel like moano is going to be able to be smart and take it where he can get it
49:29
um but yeah it should be a great night of fights I'm excited about it hopefully we can see it live and we will tell you
49:37
all about it next week on the next episode of toast STW see you bye
