0:40
it No we had a fun No party last year oh it was outside wasn't it yeah and it

1:02
be the end of my statement oh sorry sorry sorry they had the no movies and
1:07
the wind was blowing and I was on my shirts um allegedly
1:13
the combo it was a fun combo oh no the next pay-per-view is going to be Max Holloway
1:20
versus Dustin Porier in uh Nins nins for his retirement fight yeah so that'd be a
1:27
fun one to live stream um that'll be a fun one to do mushrooms on too
1:32
i mean mushrooms make everything better unless you take too much and then it's a tough night i've had experiences that
1:38
way too can you cook with mushrooms can you do like a a mushroom uh gumbo
1:45
sure you can make it like nylon you want to dose everyone i mean yeah big old pot of drugs
1:53

1:59
burn yourself yeah that'd be fun but uh UFC
2:06
317 was crazy um it was International Fight Week so I got to go out there and
2:12
get my 50 times peed in a cup jacket congratulations yeah I was up there with
2:19
a bunch of other uh folk uh Marino and
2:24
uh Alex Perez and uh Strickland
2:29
oh your friend my bestie apparently they sat us right next to each other so we
2:36
had to chat the whole time how's he doing he's good he's good good for him yeah yeah as soon as we got off the
2:42
stage he was complaining about not using not being able to use uh the hard R on Instagram but until we got off the stage
2:50
he was a gentleman i thought we I thought we just got cleared to start using it on Instagram on everywhere i
2:58
think I thought posted on Instagram the R word is back no the hard R and the N
3:04
word oh I thought you were talking about Is it no i thought you meant the R i
3:11
thought you meant the R word no the hard R oh no instead of the soft
3:20
A which is okay amongst many cultures oh
3:25
no we were talking about two different things yeah we were totally in different wavelengths wow yeah so until we got off
3:30
the stage he was a perfect gentleman um but uh definitely the most popular
3:36
fighter on the stage to have peed in a cup 50 times yeah yeah very excited
3:41
young man good for him yeah they they definitely wanted toh get golden showered on by Strickland was up there
3:50
they were just begging for it but uh yeah I got to do that i did like
3:55
a little signing meet and greet um oh you would have loved it i did a 12
4:00
crimes meet and greet thing oh did you yeah with the Snoop Dog wine thing and
4:08
the Martha Stewart and all those guys so was it a red blend yeah they had Is that what he does he does a blend they had a
4:14
nice cab it was some guy that I didn't I don't know who he is he's probably some old gangster or something but it was
4:20
some guy's face on it some old white guy and uh it was a nice cab i was like "Oh
4:26
Jess might like this one." I might yeah she might be into it i might yeah yeah so we would take a photo with the fans
4:33
and then have a little a little taster after you got to drink on the job too
4:39
i don't know if I was supposed to but [Â __Â ] that do it i had I had a little wine shot with a few fans hey good for
4:47
you hey guess what what i met like so many Two Strolls fans stop it they're
4:53
out there you guys they exist not just on YouTube in the wild it was so cool i
5:01
was That was so exciting and it's And it's so sad i I was just like "Wait which podcast?" Rude they're like "Oh I
5:09
love your podcast." And I was like like I do many the Joe Rogan one cuz usually
5:16
people when they say something about a podcast they're like "Oh I saw your podcast with Joe Rogan and it's so cool
5:22
about your grandparents and aliens." And I'm like first of all I didn't say [Â __Â ] about my grandparents on the podcast
5:28
you're a liar just people put things together the way they want to they connect dots it's like
5:34
the Mandela effect like I think a lot of people remember me talking about it on the podcast but really he just uh posted
5:43
it in the caption talking about us even though we didn't get to talk about it i kind of dropped the ball because I
5:49
didn't really know much about Joe Rogan when I did the podcast and everyone was like "Oh you got to talk about aliens
5:56
you got to talk about your grandfather." I'm like "Okay okay." And the conversation never went there but then
6:01
at the end I was like "Oh yeah everyone told me to tell you about my grandfather it's Barney Hill." And he was like "Oh
6:06
my god next time." Yeah he did he did like the girlfriend leave something behind so you get a call back yes good
6:14
girl oh have you seen my scarf oh my god it's right here and my alien guy swing
6:19
by later oh and everyone uh loved my shorts too that was the other comment I got a lot
6:27
they're like "I'm so proud of you for getting those custom shorts." Oh I was
6:32
like "Your skirt that was cute." My skirt was cute but that was adorable they were talking about the Instagram go
6:38
so guys I'll fill you in it was AI it was a joke a very It was a good one it
6:46
was a very good one so I thought people would get it because so many people were pissed off about the Khil Round Tree
6:51
shorts like why were they pissed every Well and I'll scroll the comments sometimes and when I saw the shorts I
6:58
was like "Oh those are cool." Uh because it had like sake on it like the Muay Thai tattoo and stuff i thought it was
7:06
really tasteful too so I would look at the comments to see how it was received and a lot of people are like "Why is he
7:13
getting shorts everyone's getting shorts." That's like this is [Â __Â ] up like Usman doesn't have shorts jamal
7:18
Hill doesn't have shorts but he has shorts and like people were kind of outraged but the design the design was
7:25
awesome it was and it was very fitting to his brand so I was like "All right
7:31
we'll we'll do our own shorts and see if that gets any uh gets any love or hate."
7:37
And I hashtagged ragebait and I thought people would pick up on that because so
7:43
many people were enraged by Ko shorts and nobody did they were just like "Oh those are blame." Well IG loved them yes
7:52
I saw that ig loved the shorts twitter not so much you know they're totally
7:58
They are totally different places different countries different Yeah
8:03
different cultures yes completely yes yes not surprising at all no no not at
8:09
all they they followed suit but uh yeah yeah international fight was really cool
8:14
there were a lot of fighters there um and I got to go to the fights too heck
8:20
yeah no plus one though what no one you didn't get a plus one he drove or he
8:26
flew and then drove home all that way to not be a plus one poor Adam i know he
8:32
was simply a bodyguard that weekend walking around waiting outside holding
8:38
my purse at the venue holding your purse waiting for you taking photos
8:43
poor guy what a guy what a guy what a guy poor guy but what a guy spending two hours while I sign photos
8:50
making sure no one grabs too tight grabs the wrong thing
8:57
it's like back is okay side all right you know let it slide but then sometimes
9:03
you know they get they like slip down just a little bit on the way out just on
9:09
the way out though like they'll be behaving and then on the way out they just cuz they got their photo they just
9:14
brush it they got their photo already they're out of there but no everyone was very respectful very very kind and it's
9:22
really cool to be able to like do stuff like that because Oh he's fighting a [Â __Â ] apex so so I never get to see
9:29
the fans and I finally did yay yeah i'm [Â __Â ] grateful for that and I got my
9:36
contract yay so we can announce it with me yeah officially you guys are officially stuck
9:43
with me for a handful of more fights and I'll be fighting August 9th against Yasm
9:48
mean Lucendo let's [Â __Â ] go and if you comment on
9:54
the picture maybe Venom will gift me with a pair of shorts
10:00
say nice things i'm putting in a request get me a windbreaker
10:06
a little crop windbreaker a crop jersey like our energy ones that would be really cute with that pattern um well
10:15
the fights were insane
10:20
oh wow yeah you're not gonna sing the Marina part i feel like that's about me
10:31
i'm too cordazone aren't I i kind of want to look up the lyrics what's the It's right here it's right here
10:38
can del Mariachi yes well that that is a good song like at first when he walked
10:44
out to it I was like "Ah that's corny everyone walks to But that's a feel it
10:49
song." Yeah no it's like to be like [Â __Â ] like from where they have the
10:56
run of bulls the bull run or whatever yeah yeah and he's running through every like it it is pretty cool it's pretty
11:03
cool it's a vibe yeah so um that fight was insane did it go the way that you
11:10
thought it would or yes it did i mean I my heart bet was with Charles but you
11:17
knew you knew and I had a glimpse of hope in the scramble i was like he's not
11:24
too hurt he might be able to do something he might take the back but
11:30
yeah it it's Ilia is so good and I think the only
11:35
question mark people had was would his size be a factor because he does look
11:40
like a short guy he's a short king you know yeah everybody uh commenting uh
11:46
trolling him this week about his uh lifts that he was wearing oh no I know
11:52
it was all over the place they I didn't see that i saw it i saw it um because I
11:57
was sitting at home watching the fight so I was scrolling uh no they just had they had a picture
12:02
like zoomed in of him in like man heels nice
12:08
leave him alone he can knock you out it's cultural that's the style in the cage he's barefoot so
12:15
you know doesn't need lifts there he lifts you up with his punches yeah so
12:21
that was the only the only question mark I think anyone who gave Charles a chance
12:28
had is like we know he also cuts a lot of weight we know he's going to be big we know he's going to be a new weight
12:35
class there might be some just some growing pains fitting into it but he fit
12:40
in perfectly it was like a glove yeah he had been complaining about that weight cut for quite a while and I think his
12:46
body just wanted to be bigger and he he looked well grown into the division on
12:53
his first fight in Yeah he looked the same size it was like the you know the comparison we do the highball glass
12:59
versus the rocks glass you know yeah and his power transferred as well i mean the
13:04
the combination he landed and and floored poor Olivea um that was that was
13:10
just impressive and it was just as powerful as him in the featherweight division yeah yeah it was insane um but
13:17
there were there were other things that got me just really scared for anyone else who's going to try to game plan in
13:23
so like uh like Oliver he got double under hooks he had the elbows high he
13:30
was in a perfect position to get the taked down he went for it and then Tapora was just able to step over him
13:37
mhm i'm like "No no I know i know no it was perfect." And
13:42
you just ruined his plans he has like a really um he's just really knowledgeable
13:48
on the ground and even though he doesn't show it often it looked like he was trying to set up like a crucifix on top
13:54
like he was just he was attacking he wasn't just defending on the ground and then when they stood up you could tell
14:01
that he just smelled blood i think we have only seen glimpses of the
14:06
well-roundedness that Elia is that's the scary part it It is scary it's like the
14:12
only people who actually know how good he is everywhere are his coaches and teammates the people he beats up and and
14:20
the way he's talking in the press conference it sounds like they're not having a great time training with him
14:25
like you know he's he's like I know where I went and and I do my sparring
14:31
rounds i I believe in myself because of those rounds i'm like you're [Â __Â ]
14:36
everyone up aren't you yes he flies them in and sends them home with a care package poor guys
14:44
i hope they get paid well at least they can smile and hug him when he wins like that's exactly That's the consolation
14:50
prize of getting beat up every day by your training partner you You want to be on the good side yes you know yes he'll
14:57
kick you some some uh some new shoes or something swag from fight week it's the
15:03
least he could do oh man maybe buy you a car or something one would hope yeah so
15:10
that like that fight um it was the perfect fight for Iliot Seapora but I don't think a lot of people expected him
15:17
to just snuff Aloa out that quickly and I think now that he's done that a lot of
15:24
people are having the conversation of is he the GOAT yet is he like
15:29
pound-for-pound number one i don't think so i have I have that um I had that
15:35
conversation the other day with um some people at the gym and like honestly he is absolutely incredible but his path to
15:44
the title I don't think he's earned that yet just with the people that he's
15:49
fought uh but I think him at 155 in this championship position I think we're
15:54
going to see him blossom into that pound-for-pound top and who do you think he needs to fight in order to get there
16:01
fastest it's not Patty Pilman that's for sure but it's probably gonna be the next one
16:08
no dana said he doesn't like it at all he said that should have never happened he shouldn't have been the bathroom why
16:14
you go to the bathroom he was gone he was out why he go to the bathroom my
16:19
night is over i'm out i got to beat the rush well everyone to Dana's uh credit
16:26
everyone was leaving like anyone who's a fighter is trying to get out of there before people like turn around and
16:32
notice that you're a fighter and they're like "Oh can I get a bottle?" So Dana's probably rushing out for the same reason
16:38
he's probably the most famous face in UFC right now um and
16:45
as as we were all leaving I see Patty run across this the uh the walkway and
16:53
walk into the cage and he just like kind of gets called up and I I felt like it was Joe Rogan's fault right like
17:00
everybody everybody is blaming Joe Rogan but um I'm pretty sure it was yeah cuz
17:07
I'm pretty sure uh what's the name uh uh Tapora was like "Oh there's a guy who
17:12
whose back always hurts and he said when he's supposed to show up he says his back hurts he doesn't show up." And
17:18
everyone's thinking "Oh yeah Armen." He and Joe goes "Oh Patty Pimplet." We're like "What?" No why did his back hurt no
17:27
not that guy it was his ankle what are you talking about Joe and then
17:33
and then was like you know [Â __Â ] it yeah he's right there bring him in and it did
17:39
it's I think they sold that fight more than any other matchup i I mean I think
17:44
they did and I think it's very appealing i just I I don't think that is going to
17:49
solidify his his name in the pound-for-pound rankings but it is entertaining no it's entertaining he's
17:56
going to get paid he's He's going to knock him out he's going to get to hit somebody that he doesn't like he spoke very um graciously about how like his
18:05
feelings about Olivera as as a human being as a fighter as an opponent and he said that you know he didn't like that
18:12
he liked Olivera so much and respected him so much and you know all that kind of stuff how humble
18:18
is it was nice to get a glimpse of that because everybody sees this like brash kind of cocky
18:25
persona that he has i do think it's the Spanish in him it might i think to use
18:32
in like fiery yeah I think that's part of it i feel like like a a person from
18:39
Spain might consider him a bit mild like a little too polite and disrespectful
18:47
yeah he toned down the Spanish just so we could like him a little bit no he's
18:53
he's growing on me um especially just the buildup for this fight i mean and it
18:59
would be really bad for him to to be the heel versus Olive because he's beloved
19:06
amongst the fans he's such he's so likable so it would be really a a bad
19:11
angle to approach the fight with so yeah yeah it was a good read on his part but
19:17
I also think he is I don't think Tapora has a script and that's the other reason
19:23
why he's growing on me like I feel like he just says what he feels i like when they ask him about the pound-for-pound
19:29
thing he's like "I don't care about that ranking." I I appreciate that he's definitely growing on me yeah yeah he's
19:35
just He's just here to make money and and fight people and not even make money
19:40
just to prove that he's the best he already has money he's just here to do
19:45
violent things against people maybe win the approval of his father i don't know
19:50
does he have daddy issues he might don't we all don't we all i always say that
19:56
the the female fighters it's like you could have gone either to the cage or to the pole like there's some sort of like
20:02
familial issues there and men it's like a a similar but different kind of kind
20:07
of thing what is it like the cage or jail yes exactly no yes the cage or
20:13
rehab some people do all three i mean you know prime example we have uh Dumas who
20:21
didn't make it to the fight this weekend dumas yeah what was that he had the
20:27
ankle monitor oh uh Cedriquez yes yes crius what happened bro bro that is so
20:35
unfortunate uh you know when I signed my new contract I was reading through the uh code of conduct oh was it updated i
20:43
mean maybe his is altered his was already signed so there was a
20:50
gray area definitely does not want you to get arrested or commit crimes that's
20:55
not part of the code of contact conduct i'm like h interesting um yeah so that
21:01
that fight was insane the walk out was just like you could feel the energy in the room uh when when Charles Aivera
21:09
walks out he walks into the cage as like the crescendo of the song that he was
21:16
playing hits and it's weird because it was like one of those Portuguese songs but it has like it's a live version so
21:23
the crowd is singing in the song but then as he walks into the cage the crowd
21:29
joins the real ch crowd joins in and then it's just like it was like a really weird like magical kind of walk-in it
21:37
was really cool and then of course we already talked about Ilia's
21:49
Yeah that one's pretty pretty epic it was a pretty epic main event um and to
21:55
end like that too like I think MMA is one of those sports where like you don't
22:00
need to drag it out like people would uh like pay Mike Tyson to make the fight
22:07
longer just because it's like hey people are here to see a Mike Tyson fight they don't want you to knock him out in first 10 seconds in MMA you do that everyone's
22:15
like "Yes we love you." That's what we wanted yeah
22:20
let's go home as much as we wanted to be here and see this we also want to get
22:25
our party on so yeah yeah especially in Vegas yes dude people were lit by the
22:31
time uh he got in there there was one guy um so the Cole Main was also really
22:37
crazy um there were a few lols in action but just because Pintoia's control is
22:43
insane but there was a guy behind me and he kept screaming "What a bunch of
22:50
sissies." Excuse me sir i'm He didn't drop the
22:56
fbomb i was surprised but he didn't drop the fbomb but he kept calling them
23:01
sissies and then as soon as the round was over he go "Oh nice butt ring card girl." This [Â __Â ] guy this guy i hope
23:09
you watch Two Straws so you can be shamed by me shame on you we were We are
23:15
not impressed with your bigotry and sexism uh and also I feel like they
23:20
should just come up with something new well I was I was more offended that he didn't like the Ring Card Girls but he
23:26
said too big for my liking what sir
23:32
excuse you that is just that is false untrue offensive very disappointing yeah
23:38
because if that girl sat her ass on his lap he told I [Â __Â ] love it get off it's too much he would start there's too
23:47
much booty in the pants get out of here you're not impressing anyone but he he
23:52
sounded very drunk so I didn't turn around it's always hard it's always hard you
23:58
always like my veins are popping out of my forearm i'm like "No I know i've been there."
24:05
[Â __Â ] [Â __Â ] yeah I was by myself if I had my plus one maybe I'd be a little more brave
24:12
one always is with my eye roll excuse you
24:19
don't even need to say the words your eyes just do it yes i love doing that i
24:25
love giving people the judgmental stare at fights oh me too think twice about what they said
24:32
i got a judgmental um headshake the other day oh what' you
24:38
think and I didn't think I deserved it what did you do i still actually I'm still kind of thinking about this i'm
24:43
kind of stewing on i'm like why am I the [Â __Â ] in this situation i need to know you guys tell me okay so I'm I'm leaving
24:50
the beach i got to get home i got to get changed i got to get Grace and we're going to go meet our girl Edith for a
24:57
little happy hour girl time oh fun yeah i'm trying to get out of there and it's like a narrow street and I pull up
25:04
behind this car who's like about to turn and these are like side streets so the
25:09
blinker's on and it just stopped and it keeps stopping so I give it a little you
25:14
know polite beep it wasn't like a It was like you know just like "Hey
25:20
what's going on?" and just like sits there sits there and I'm just like I put
25:26
up my hands and I'm like what's going on and then they turn their hazards on and I was like thank you communication
25:33
i was like okay cool so I have to like reverse i have to wait for the cars to pass and go and as I'm going this guy
25:40
just looks at me he's like what like why why why
25:47
was I the [Â __Â ] i think that he was just being annoying
25:53
that's a normal reaction to do the polite beep like Adam
25:59
would have been like and then like swiveled around him flipping him off the
26:05
entire you know does his he does his like bottom lip thing
26:13
and I'm driving [Â __Â ] cut yeah like that that was a very polite version of
26:18
what I usually see when someone does something like that i I was like why am I the [Â __Â ] in
26:24
this situation why do I get the headshake why do I get the headshake it was It was
26:30
one short honk what did he look like white dude did he look like trucker hat
26:35
no he was in a big truck oh was he like your age or older younger plus or minus
26:43
i don't know interesting that because the headshake always makes me feel like they're your elder
26:49
i'm like why am I being I mean you do look younger he probably thought you were a a young uh a young what do you
26:56
call it impatient college student maybe trying to get to your next college student yeah trying to get you wearing
27:03
your Only Fans shirt he's like I bet she's going to go turn a trick right now
27:09
stupid child rude and a [Â __Â ] yeah classless oh yeah he was just judging
27:17
what you looked like i was in a bikini top oh there you go there you go
27:24
we've solved it maybe stupid [Â __Â ]
27:29
that's what the head shook shake means i don't know i didn't think it was something deserving of that it's been
27:36
actually bothering me a little bit i think you should let it go he just doing the math he obviously has other issues
27:42
with his truck and his hazard lights on taking up all the space the truck also
27:47
makes me mad for you because that's that's like one and a half cars space
27:52
that he was taking up it's big yeah but uh we digress the Asual Oh man
28:01
was not did not look like a pair of sissies to me they look like very manly men fighting to the death and uh Pinto
28:10
was just on Kaiikar France the entire time he he didn't give him an inch to
28:16
breathe and you know what kaiikar France had a really nice jab going like in the first minute or two of the first round
28:25
it looked really good it did he was He was sticking and moving and he was
28:30
keeping it really long and pronounced and Pandora like really didn't have any
28:35
like defense in it but what he did was he just bulldozed over he like timed it as it was coming back and just got in
28:43
got the takedown and just uh he forced the the grappling superiority onto Kikar
28:48
France yeah yeah and there was a moment of just like [Â __Â ] on Kaiara's face when
28:54
he was uh caught on the ground in the first round and then in the second round there was a bit of hope for him he
28:59
wasn't taken down he was able to scramble a bit on in the clinch positions and able to just like stand
29:05
with them but Pintoia was still landing a lot in that round uh kind of dictating
29:10
the pace and then the third right back to it it's kind of like you tricked him yeah he does he doesn't have the most
29:18
beautiful striking but just um the intensity the volume it looks it looks heavy those
29:25
kicks were turning Kikar yeah yeah yeah um so yeah he just he did a great job he
29:32
let everybody know why he's the champ and craziness because now Van who just
29:38
fought Roy Val the number one contender is stepping up and he's going to be Pentosia's next opponent yeah that's
29:45
crazy this kid just fasttracked just bypassed the whole top 10 ranking and
29:53
then some and Dana wonders why Patty Pimla's jumping in the cage like is this the new thing it's because he was
29:59
sitting on the sidelines waiting to be called in well I think he was invited to
30:04
be called in well he was in the queue yes he was in the queue he fought they were like "Hey don't get on the shuttle
30:11
come back and sit there so we can point the camera at you." And then they invited him in but this is like a new
30:16
thing like we saw that happen with uh with Kayla and Amanda Nunez and I guess
30:22
that's when we found out okay this is the fight that's going to be made um but I don't know if there was a conversation
30:28
before that or not uh and then tonight I'm sure there was a conversation because usually after you fight they
30:34
don't let you back in the arena but he was able to come back in tracy Cortez was back in there too so I'm like h
30:42
what's going on maybe it's just the pay-per-view stuff yeah yeah there's a little bit more like leeway there's a
30:49
lot of security during pay-per-views and a lot of fighters so maybe it's a little easier to navigate as opposed to when
30:55
you have less security and everyone's going to swarm the one guy who they just saw knock someone out yeah that could be
31:01
it yeah but uh but yeah Van was definitely invited in and then they brought him in and they're like "This is
31:07
the next fight." Usually they take until Tuesday they'll usually debate a little bit out but they were just like "No this
31:15
is it this is it this is the kid." What do you think that says about the state of the flyweight division is it just too
31:22
much of the same it's too much of the same thing yes i I completely think you like hit it on the head with that
31:28
everybody has fought everybody it's a bit incestuous at this point they're all Eskimo brothers they are they have all
31:34
fought each other multiple times uh the MMA math is just like the the family
31:40
tree is just crazy right now yeah it's like that uh that meme with all the numbers floating around the chick's head
31:47
i think it's like a Brazilian yeah that's the MMA math of the
31:53
flyweight division and then Van just destroys all that he's just like the wild card that comes in and and nulls
32:01
everyone else it's crazy what what we're seeing is it is an entertainment sport
32:07
not just a sport it's entertainment oh you mean like a WWE a bit WWEish
32:15
um it's just they're they're trying to find you know we don't have the the Conor McGregor's we uh just lost the
32:22
Jones um I know yes I know um so they're just looking for the next you know the
32:30
next story the next big thing um I I don't know if he has the personality to
32:36
sustain that but he definitely has a story well I love his personality he is
32:41
so like bluecollar just like just nothing he's He's not trying to be
32:49
witty or be cocky or anything well he's in his early 20s he doesn't know who he is yet he's just like He's like "You may
32:57
be the best right now but you never fought Joshua Van." And I'm like "That's
33:02
a great line you're adorable." It's true he speaks the truth he has never fought
33:09
him how can you get mad at that it's like the perfect way to talk [Â __Â ] without
33:15
talking [Â __Â ] he's just like "This is a statement." And every was like yo like the crowd
33:22
went crazy when he said that they were just like "Put it on a t-shirt."
33:29
They were Everyone was loving it he's adorable it's a really cool story it's very exciting i I I'm not mad about it
33:36
shaking up the flyweight division yeah and I think they keep trying to do things to make the flyweight division
33:43
exciting and it's because of people like the guy behind me calling them sissies
33:49
because one guy's on their back that's why they see these little guys and they're like "Oh there's little guys i
33:57
can beat that guy up." And I'm like "Try please i'd love to see that love to see
34:02
you try." But there's something about the smaller guys that doesn't doesn't
34:08
speak to the casual fan but Joshua Van had the entire crowd well Roy Val too
34:15
cuz you need a willing partner it takes two and they both put it on the line dude that fight was so sick so good i
34:23
watched it twice like I was squinting because I didn't want to miss a second of it like live you know like if you
34:30
pause to go from the cage to the screen to see what's happening you miss like five punches like seriously it's like go
34:39
"Oh [Â __Â ] what happened i missed it again." You know it was it was so fast
34:44
and they were just like moving in the pocket throwing punches and bunches like Van was just sitting on the counter so
34:51
hard and then Roy Val didn't give a [Â __Â ] like he was getting folded in half like
34:57
a chair and he just bounced back up like that clown you can't knock over you know what I mean [Â __Â ] that guy that weight
35:04
that that bottom weighted clown and I hit him harder and he comes back and smacks you jab jab you know like that he
35:12
didn't care he just kept coming forward and that's why it was such an amazing fight because Roy Val was in there until
35:19
that final moment and like he was trying for the knees he saw an opening but unfortunately in that third round the
35:25
knee got him caught and like the crowd oh my god like I think they were louder
35:31
for that fight than they were for the Taporia fight but when he was on top of
35:36
him throwing punches ending strong people were standing up freaking out it
35:42
was it it's like for a fight to go to decision and you have that type of reaction it's amazing it was really
35:48
amazing so I I think that could be a fight of the year contender i have to go
35:54
back through all the other fight of the year contenders to like you know make
35:59
sure it's not just because I just saw it but it that fight was awesome it's freshing your mind like the judges
36:04
decisions oh man don't get me started on PFL
36:11
god damn we could talk about that too yeah let's talk about Well let's uh get through to Maine real quick what did you
36:17
think of Benel Dar versus Renado Henato moano Henato um you know what it it
36:25
surprised me how much Moano gassed himself out oh did you hear that Roy Val
36:30
got his win money yes I did which I think is amazing cool yeah that goes to
36:35
show you like people just want to see good fights like that's that's the main
36:40
the main goal of the UFC right now they want to see good fights so win or lose just put it all out there and and you
36:47
might have yourself a career but yeah uh Douche Mo um so it surprised me that
36:53
Moano gassed himself gassed himself out the way that he did um it it was a
37:00
really strong first round he had Benil Dar hurt and he just kind of punched
37:05
himself out and then Benil just started chipping away coming back coming back coming back and Moano just looked
37:12
increasingly slower and more winded and labored as the fight went on so it um
37:18
did not go the way I thought it would but it was impressive Darish coming back off such a long layoff uh they were
37:24
initially supposed to fight at 311 was it that we were at uh when Moano got the
37:30
opportunity to step up and fight for the title uh it was just yeah it was it was
37:35
a good win for Douch and I think that you know the time off served him well
37:41
and it puts him right back in the mix with the division yeah and um I don't know what it looked like from your point
37:47
of view but I felt like Mo could have won that like it it seemed like a really close fight and I wasn't sure if
37:54
something like uh you know how the the classic like Cheeto Vera fights where one guy is landing a lot of volume but
38:01
then he'll land something that just wobbles the guy really hard and the judges give him that round because it
38:07
was the biggest moment i felt like in a darouche um Moano fight you could see
38:13
that there was a big power difference like Moano was gassed he was like trying
38:18
to charge up but then when he would hit it would get a big reaction from Dar but then he would just kind of like weather
38:25
it and then come back and do something and you know kind of dictate the pace so I don't know what it look like from your
38:31
point of view again I think we're going back to like the optics of things and I think the optics looked like Moano just
38:40
was was kind of drowning and trying to pull himself yeah okay and it didn't look good so even though he was still in
38:48
the fight it was still competitive he was still doing work it just did not look great okay interesting
38:56
that's how I saw it no it's how the judges saw it too i was just curious um because all three judges uh scored the
39:03
same so I was wondering if it looked that close uh from home mhm and yeah
39:09
that that's one thing you can't really see is like the facial expressions you can see the body language a little bit
39:15
but it's not as clear in the stands it is at home which is why watching at home
39:21
is the best view it is it's it really you you don't have to go from the big
39:26
screen to the cage because you really want to look at the cage but it's way better view and you get um you get to
39:32
hear a little bit more perspective as far as like what the commentary is is
39:38
seeing their the information they're giving it just gives a little bit more insight because they have you know they
39:45
have such a crazy view they can feel the energy they can hear the sounds they can see a little bit more than we can and
39:52
they talk to the guys too so they know what they're trying to do versus what's
39:57
happening and they'll be like "Well he wanted to throw more kicks but he's getting punched in the face." So
40:04
oh interesting like he's sticking to the game plan but also getting punched in the face
40:14
um yeah anyway uh Peyton Talbett versus Felipe Lima too um that one was a good
40:21
one we called KO but I think he got a little close every now and then but what
40:27
I was most impressed with was just how rounded out his game was they gave him
40:32
somebody that was not as as strong and seasoned of a fighter i think that the
40:37
the previous step up at 311 um when he fought Brazilian um Barcelos
40:45
was his name yeah uh when he fought Barcelos I think Barcelos was just a little bit too seasoned for him and I
40:51
think they they brought the experience level back down and I think that that helped and I think and that's what I say
40:57
about uh protecting these young talents you're not protecting them from people
41:02
like them you know yeah yeah you're protecting them from these seasoned vets
41:09
who can figure out ways to to just get you tired
41:15
experience plays a huge part yeah that's my whole game right now like I'm like "Please please try to hit me so I can
41:22
duck under and like get your legs or push you up against the fence and I'll you know I'll throw some knees on your
41:29
legs and then you'll be like "Oh she's just pushing me up against the fence." But then you know that's that's how you
41:34
uh tire out these young kids out and then uh yeah when they try to do the
41:41
things that they got there doing it doesn't come out as sharp and as fast because yeah it just it takes a lot out
41:48
of you so he he took a lot from that lesson I felt like and his grappling was
41:53
was really good looking in this be it like Barcelos is probably a a more
41:59
seasoned better grappler but you still saw a lot of reversals you saw Payton
42:04
Talbet looking comfortable in there um and a lot of people are commenting on uh
42:10
the position he was really comfortable in he gave a little smile to the crowd when he hit that strawway at 69 uhhuh
42:18
yeah he was all smiles in that cage it was funny very cute very cute um yeah so good for
42:26
him he's back in the wind column and excited to see what's next for him i think they should give him someone else
42:32
to knock out yeah i mean again get his confidence back you know yeah there he
42:38
is um a product of um the Contender series so it's one of those people that
42:46
they want to cultivate they want to keep him exciting and learning and growing at a pace that is more sustainable to him
42:53
yeah yeah for sure um a couple fights on the prelims I want to just mention real
42:58
quick dude I got to the arena when Herman Manson versus Gregory Rodriguez
43:05
happened and oh my god like everyone's just having a good time watching a fight
43:11
up and then bam out of nowhere it was so
43:16
nasty and people were really upset about this um Hrigz everybody was saying that
43:22
Hrigz Oh that shouldn't have punch followed up but I mean the the argument
43:28
is is that is the ref's responsibility i mean was anyone mad at Ilia when he
43:33
followed up no oliver was very much asleep before that last punch landed yes
43:40
I know yeah but he's a little guy so nobody's mad at him that was devastating the big robo cops that people want to
43:46
get mad at i think more people were mad at Well at least backstage more people were mad at Herb for not getting there
43:54
fast herb was all the way across the cage and
43:59
maybe instead of some downers that she'd been smoking her pulls the you know
44:07
oh [Â __Â ] he pulls the uh the Gumby run it and slides over there and gets there
44:14
right before that last punch lands he was he I mean in his defense it was fast
44:21
it was fast like it happened very fast and then Rodri just kind of held his hand up like he wasn't going to throw it
44:27
like you know that little round tree clip where he goes then the ref steps in so maybe her thought he had a couple
44:34
extra seconds he's like he's a nice guy he's not going to do Oh he's like no he was just loading up he was just loading
44:41
up as much as possible before he brought the hammer down you need to know your fighters you need to know who who you're
44:47
refing that man is not pulling he did not go on a spiritual journey to Thailand no no no
44:55
his name is Robocop he knocks out people with half of his face hanging off that's his whole thing
45:04
no no um yeah that fat fight was pretty nasty and I think a lot of people had
45:10
Herman Manson being able to eat that one out but yeah Herb you need to get your
45:16
get your pumps on your Nike pumps or something so get in there faster stay awake it was early in the night too it
45:22
was it was you weren't tired yet yeah dude um another one that uh gave me the
45:29
good feels was Terrence McKini with that crazy like minute fight dude to put um
45:37
to put Borchev away like that nobody has been able to really submit him he's like
45:43
not even the guy who submitted him i know it was controversial
45:49
i mean I mean he just uh he is so he's so durable he's he's one of these
45:55
seasoned guys that just like tough as nails and just there's no quit in him
46:00
and Terrence McKini made it look easy i mean it didn't look that easy because
46:06
once he had the guillotine in he thrashed with every muscle in his body
46:13
Slavoclast did in order to get he was chucking jing he was seizing he was
46:19
doing everything to try to get a little bit of space and to like unlock Mckin's
46:26
legs that were doing everything but fight the hands i mean his his hands were locked down they weren't locked
46:31
down they were like they were like kind of locked down here and he couldn't get up there
46:39
my guillotine once you get in there deep it's like there's there's very little
46:44
you can do it's like you you can get to the hips but you can't get to the hands the the weight that is trapped
46:50
underneath the body but uh but yeah that it was a really slick transition too he
46:55
went for like a dar or something right went dar to guillotine and then just like rolled him over the top locked the
47:01
legs it was really cool to see and it was like I think he was trying to do
47:07
that like Morab/Vulganowski escape yeah but they were like pushing
47:13
off the hips i think so they were using their hands also they don't have a neck they were not
47:19
fair point fair point very different body types you You can't have a neck if you're gonna get on it it's like when I
47:25
try to guillotine Wilson Wilson Hayes the same thing happens my arm just slips off
47:32
like a bar of soap very large body compared to yours there's nothing to grip it's all neck and head there's
47:39
nothing in between well his trap's also protected oh yeah yeah the traps act like a funnel it's like a slope it's
47:47
almost like a turtle shell no way to hold on to that thing yeah so
47:53
good job Terrence McKenna getting in and out record time and then uh Tracy Cortez
48:01
back in the win column too she looked really good against Roou um she just
48:07
looked like she she was fighting like a cat like just getting top position top
48:12
position top position um putting Arujo on her back um she looked sharp in the striking sharp in the grappling uh
48:20
definitely moving up on the rankings on that yeah yeah and Arujo was ranked pretty high too right uh what was she
48:27
she Why can't I find Why I've been trying to pull up rankings like the whole freaking time which site are you
48:32
want i always do the Wikipedia because it has all of them in one one uh page
48:38
you can just It keeps wanting to direct me to that i just wanted the UFC ones so Arujo is ranked number eight and Cortez
48:46
is ranked number 10 so now she gets that top 10 position it's like when you're 10 you're kind of there but it still feels
48:52
like you can get pushed out at any second now she gets to get nice and comfortable at that number eight
48:58
position and uh yeah we'll see who she gets next and did you did you catch her
49:03
post speech i keep hearing about it but I didn't get to listen to it she spoke in Spanish to her her fans um that we're
49:12
going through difficult time with the state of the state uh Arizona um with the state
49:20
of just what's going on with um Oh I thought you were talking about an actual state
49:28
that was Arizona though right uh she Yeah she does her camp in Arizona but she was just um you know speaking to her
49:34
people who are having challenging times right now is it the icing yes yeah yeah
49:40
which is why I wore my uh I drink tequila straight shirt
49:47
cuz [Â __Â ] ice get it i like I like ice in my coffee
49:53
it's actually pretty nice cuz it's so hot in here oh yeah it's pretty hot in here
49:59
it's pretty sweating but I do like to get [Â __Â ] up with the lukewarm stuff
50:08
every now and then um yeah so that was that was cool of her to kind of uh speak
50:14
out about something that was close to home that she felt strongly about and uh
50:20
yeah I I wonder if we get to get that fight that we called for we wanted to
50:26
see Tracy Cortez versus Macy Barber um I now want to see her fight Eileen Perez
50:33
really because all the trash talking since UC 311 what have they been but she's a different weight class right
50:40
isn't she 35 yes but I bet she could cut or I bet Tracy can make it 35 exactly
50:49
girl grow your hair out get extensions fight Eene Perez at 135 it'll be
50:57
comfortable a comfortable camp yes yeah no I I think that maybe we could do a
51:03
catchweight meeting in a medal it would sell put it Nochce she did say in her
51:09
post-fight presser that she really wanted to get on that card i mean and when you think of like all the people
51:14
that they could put on Noce you think that a Tracy Cortez would be a good fit for that that would be fun if they uh if
51:22
they tried to make that fight happen i bet um I bet she wouldn't mind not having to cut weight for someone who she
51:29
feels strongly about fighting you know i think as long as the person isn't like a huge towering person then you don't feel
51:38
as I guess at a disadvantage being the person that fights because uh Een Perez
51:45
she's missed weight at 135 so she's a big girl she's going to be a little bit bigger than Tracy even though Tracy is
51:52
pretty big as well um yeah so that that would be fun that would be fun but if
51:58
that does not happen any any calls
52:03
we could do what about Blanchfield yeah what's she up to she I mean she
52:09
just she was just supposed to fight Macy Barber that didn't end up happening so she's in the queue she could definitely
52:15
make that uh that Noce uh night i feel like that would be a
52:20
really good matchup cortez and Blanchfield and like Cortez she has that big following too so people don't
52:28
mind fighting down when you have that it's like that bargaining chip you know yeah you might not get as much accolades
52:36
by the ranking makers but you get more fans i mean or like what about Alexa
52:42
Graasso what about Manown you know she she just had this kind of you know big
52:50
win she's number 10 i feel like everybody above her she's either fought or I mean
52:58
Macy Barbara would be good but we we can't rely on her with her health and what's going on with her so I feel like
53:05
Aaron Blfield Grao Manown I feel like those would be a great jump up for her
53:11
yeah I'd like to see that Grao one too i think that'd be fun she was there um uh everybody in their mama was there
53:19
that night but yeah she was definitely there watching the action and maybe she was scoping it out too maybe um yeah so
53:27
we had a couple other finishes but uh was there anything else you wanted to talk about oh like my my links
53:37
we have um well we already talked about Damas and the ankle monitor him not being able to um make his his fight
53:47
night because he couldn't get the the judge to sign off on it which is really unfortunate can you imagine cutting
53:52
weight in an ankle monitor i mean could you even make it to fight
53:57
week with an ankle monitor like no you can't leave you cannot leave they will be beeping on the plane like sorry
54:06
you're not going to get through yeah i want to know where his manager was in in negotiations and why why didn't he check
54:12
with the judge first yeah that should have been the first thing like hey he can sign the contract but he has an
54:19
ankle monitor this is not one of those situations where it's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission no we do
54:24
permission first on this one yeah you signed a contract man like quit [Â __Â ]
54:30
up it is crazy uh what else you got did you see this you saw this i know you did
54:37
strickland and Chris Curtis stormed the cage at uh I believe it was Tough Enough
54:43
which was also in Vegas this weekend right yeah it had to be um so they they
54:48
stormed the cage after this fighter started taunting him during the fight and then after he won he submitted um
54:55
his opponent by guillotine and was just taunting the whole time and Strickland
55:03
and Curtis just as soon as the cage doors open they charged him yeah so I
55:08
wasn't sure if Curtis Chris Curtis was trying to protect him or
55:14
from Shawn or was he trying to fight him too i think first Chris was like I'mma
55:20
get in his face and then he saw Sean Strickland throw a punch over his shoulder and he's like oh [Â __Â ] let me
55:26
protect him because we're about to go to jail like and the Vegas Athletic Commission
55:34
maybe you can get away with punching somebody not mess around not me chris is like I don't trust my
55:41
chances of getting out of this so he got to this guy first you know looks like he
55:46
put a little tie plum on him clenched him said some words and then probably stiff armed Strickland and kept his
55:54
friend out of jail it's so nice that their friendship seems to be repaired look at them i don't know man
56:00
well I'm just in Well no it does like I saw a picture of them like training together on Nick Six's uh page too so it
56:08
does seem like they've rekindled feelings for one another maybe they've uh realized they have difference in
56:16
opinions and it's okay they can still exist and train together um but yeah
56:23
Strickland is very much still himself as he is
56:29
uh the guy who was taunting them his name is Lewis Hernandez and he's 6 and0
56:35
i would love to see like now that we're doing this whole WWE arc where there's
56:41
backstories and and way we're selling fights because of the drama i would love
56:47
to see him get a Contender Series fight i would love to see it he's he's been
56:52
finishing everyone um and he's not just fighting chumps his last two fights were good people a two and0 guy and then a
56:59
seven and one guy so uh yeah I think uh I think he's earned a shot to try and
57:05
beat up someone on Contender Series get a finish do a little taunting maybe another person from Syndicate like hey
57:13
we can make that happen and make it a whole thing well Tough Enough is one of these organizations that are definitely
57:19
like a feeder to the Contender Series they primarily work on cultivating new
57:24
and upcoming talent oh by the way that reminds me i am officially a matchmaker
57:31
and looking for new talent in cultivating the fighters oh sorry did I
57:36
Did I veer away too salty sorry i'm officially
57:42
I was like what is she call me matchmaker hey what promotion uh for
57:49
it's um for Roy Ingleick which I've fought for him um a couple times early
57:54
in my career in the early 2000s he does um OC fights or sorry SoCal fights socal
58:01
fights okay nice yeah they're based up in um like Irvine area Costa Mesa cool
58:08
and so I'll be in charge of putting a few fights per card um till I get my my
58:14
feet wet figured out if it's a good fit uh so yeah super exciting nice when's your first gig um I don't have the
58:21
official date but sometime mid August oo fun yes well we know lots of people who need
58:28
fights exactly the problem is fighting the opponents for said people
58:34
well that's my job but yeah we'll be doing um a a press
58:39
release an announcement officially wow uh hopefully on Monday or Tuesday are
58:44
you going to use one of your real estate agent photo shoot pictures so I have three i have two head shot from real
58:51
estate and then I have one from when I was like doing commentary for one of the one of the cards nice
58:57
i don't know which one they're picking i have a favorite i should have just sent them one yeah you should have sent them one yeah yeah i just didn't know the
59:04
vibe you know i wanted it to fit in but yes I have two real estate head shots oh man it's is going to be the one of you
59:11
hip throwing me dressed as Camala i still have to post this
59:18
so good they are so good oh man um yeah so that'll be fun uh can't wait to see
59:26
that and is there like a weight class that you're working with or is it just
59:31
everyone anyone who can get a fight oh is it amateur pro so I've actually um
59:38
when we had a meeting previously I talked to him about doing some amateur fights just to like beef it up but then
59:44
you have to um I I feel like it's just kind of a situation where they don't want to deal with camo because camo is
59:50
there's two different uh what do you call it commissions or organizations and you have to pay towards them but I told
59:57
them like um it would be a good opportunity also to just like get those people in the stable get them fights and
1:00:04
it's also Yes you have to pay like a licensing fee and stuff like that but it's kind of cheaper in the long run
1:00:10
yeah yeah because you have those people who you know are going to sell tickets once they go pro exactly you have the
1:00:17
hometown guy exactly have them build up that fan base exactly yeah for sure so
1:00:22
he was open to it look at me giving ideas i know the smartest person in the
1:00:28
room so smart so yeah super exciting um mostly just
1:00:34
being able to you know cultivate and find new talent um LA San Diego mostly
1:00:41
Orange County but of course I will open that that door for you know
1:00:47
people of my choice yeah let's because why not use the position hey DM Jess if
1:00:53
you want to fight now's your time slide into DMs no dickpicks oh don't do that
1:00:59
unless they're really impressive then she'll get you a fight then I'll show them to everyone you've been warned
1:01:06
she'll show the promoter look at this you know he can fight good
1:01:11
i'll also show your parents don't do it this fighter's a bit cocky
1:01:17
[Laughter] good one
1:01:24
oh man well uh yeah anything else uh that popped up on your radar all right i
1:01:31
feel like I had a list of things yes I do too so we know that um Jake Paul
1:01:38
fought this weekend there was um a boxing card that was going on um Oh yeah
1:01:44
and I did not see the fights at all but what I did see was a clip of Jake Paul
1:01:49
in the post-fight presser and he was bringing up his um his first opponent uh
1:01:56
Ben Ascrin yeah and we know that Ben Ascrin has been having some some health
1:02:01
issues he's been hospitalized and Jake Paul actually like pulled up my
1:02:06
heartstrings on this one he just he said that um of course he threw shade to the UFC and other or promoters saying that I
1:02:13
can't believe nobody is stepping up and and helping financially we don't know that to be true or not be true but he
1:02:20
said that he just feels like he needs um to step in and and help whichever way he
1:02:25
can so if that is true that's very much appreciated i mean it's a a serious
1:02:31
situation and and all jokes aside and whether you like somebody or don't like somebody I think it's awesome that he
1:02:36
wants to step up and is actually at least bringing attention to this yeah
1:02:42
the cynic in me though always thinks it's a play i hear you because I know
1:02:48
that Dana has helped just about everyone who's been horribly injured in some kind
1:02:55
of way or freak accident or something like there was a time uh where a guy um
1:03:02
someone had a a a GoFundMe and a friend of mine hit me up and was like "Hey I
1:03:08
know like every now and then stuff like this Dana helps out with do you think you can mention it to?" And I'm like
1:03:14
"All right I don't know what's going to happen but I'll definitely send it to him." And he sent 10 grand to GoFundMe
1:03:20
so there's like always I don't think a lot of people I I think Dana's the type that will help without
1:03:27
saying anything like he's not going to like do press about it or anything like he's just going to help out um but Jake
1:03:35
Paul will use it as leverage and that's the only thing that just like kind of rubs me the wrong way about it but I do
1:03:41
and that's why I said that yeah yeah because we know how generous Dana is he he actually is a philanthropist like he
1:03:48
he really does care he has a big heart yeah he's he has a soft spot for like just freak accidents and just people
1:03:56
ending up in really shitty situations um and and a lot of times he'll he'll give
1:04:01
to a cause and just not mention anything about it but uh but yeah I I like part
1:04:07
of me is just like he's using it as a way to get under the skin as a way to
1:04:12
like use this talking point in the same way it felt like okay great Jake Paul's talking about fighter pay but I don't
1:04:19
feel like he's talking about it for the right reasons you know what I mean no I hear what you're saying when that was a
1:04:24
whole thing but good for him i if he like he says he feels like he should do something which is the other reason that
1:04:31
I'm like well then [Â __Â ] do like why are you talking about feeling like doing something we'll see what he does do it
1:04:38
and then I will be very much uh impressed by you if you do something
1:04:44
about it you know but doing a press conference and saying you feel like you should do something because nobody else
1:04:50
is kind of sounds more like you're going to wait for someone else to do something i don't know you'd have to you have to
1:04:55
watch the video it sounded a little bit more than that no I watched it and that's what he's like I feel like I
1:05:01
should do something blah blah blah and maybe he's just it's just the way he speaks like maybe he just said it in a
1:05:06
way that that just seems like a dumb kid you know well I hope he does i mean we
1:05:12
all know he has the means yeah he has the means so I I just hope that if he's going to say something like that he
1:05:17
backs it up and he actually doesn't instead of just feeling like he should i
1:05:22
do too uh there was another another weird one so it said um for UFC 317 we
1:05:30
lost a fight christopher Eert versus Jackson McVey is off and it was because
1:05:37
Ewit was 10 pounds overweight and has been cut from the promotion oh for the weigh-in show i had no idea this was
1:05:45
happening yeah so he was uh this was supposed to be his debut he came in 10 pounds over and was promptly cut do you
1:05:51
think that is fair and I don't know i don't know well yeah i don't know if this was like a super
1:05:58
short notice fight or what this was it kind of sounds like it that's a possibility okay but it's kind of crazy
1:06:04
to me that you would take a fight that you you know signed on the dotted line
1:06:10
you had time to prepare for and come in 10 over unless something was really really wrong yeah i'd love to see um
1:06:16
what that happened but uh he also had a cancelled bout in June 28th in the UFC
1:06:25
then a cancelled bout uh in August 12th on Contender Series
1:06:32
so yeah it looks like he's just a habitual [Â __Â ] upper of his weight like
1:06:41
Yeah well oh actually no the the the Contender Series fight was canceled because he got signed to the UFC um but
1:06:48
before that there was a weight cut issue and he had a canceled bout um in June so
1:06:56
So I don't know if it was super short notice i don't know i think I think it's just a a Okay so hold on though um the
1:07:04
meter does many things commented 4 days notice and dude initially agreed to a 195 catchweight that they denied him
1:07:12
when he landed in Vegas [Â __Â ] move on UFC's part so I guess it was really
1:07:18
short notice commission thing like maybe said no we can't do this weight class um
1:07:26
yeah i don't know it's that's weird that's really weird and yeah it's also
1:07:32
it's really sad because if you know a lot of people get into the UFC on short notices they stay ready because they
1:07:38
know that there is that likelihood that a fight is going to fall through and they're going to have an opportunity to
1:07:45
you know get one and then you know potentially you know get a contract through that this is very typical so
1:07:51
it's it's sad that he lost that opportunity so who said [Â __Â ] move by
1:07:56
the UFC that was the fighter no that was the guy who commented oh who's that that
1:08:02
was the the meter does many things oh how does he know who is he i don't know
1:08:08
some people are saying that too it's uh Okay like the consensus is that it was 4 days short notice okay that's what many
1:08:16
of the comments have said and what I would say is don't sign that contract if you can't make the wait but if they did
1:08:23
promise him a catch weight and then change their mind at the last minute what do you expect to happen like
1:08:29
there's there's no way I can say I'm going to fight 115 next week and then show up and they say "Hey 105." And I'm
1:08:36
like "Shit I'll make it." Another comment on
1:08:42
on that thread said "Dude took a boxing match at 2:25 less than a month ago and
1:08:47
you guys expected him to make 185 and 5 days notice they should have I mean and
1:08:52
that's a management thing too you should have waited for the Contender Series fight yeah yeah it does say that he had
1:09:00
uh weight cut issues oh wait no that's this fight okay i'm
1:09:06
stupid no you're not don't say that about yourself i'm like why is it put there why is it put beforehand okay okay
1:09:14
we got to the bottom of it he will have he has an unconfirmed bout scheduled for
1:09:20
August 12th so he's going to get his chance against Yuri Pan Ferof that's if they
1:09:27
didn't knock him off of that no but uh it's on Contender Series
1:09:33
do you think they'll still let him do it why would they take him off of a UFC fight to fight on Contender Series or or
1:09:40
and then not not let him do the Contender Series fight maybe they like I think this is the the the solution he's
1:09:47
not fighting in June in the UFC because he's going to fight in a couple weeks on
1:09:54
Contender Series okay unconfirmed this is all tapology so who's to say if
1:10:01
they're right or wrong but that I think that makes sense like they're going to give him a chance to actually make
1:10:07
weight and fight someone i hope so i hope that that's not the last
1:10:12
opportunity he gets because of that is this guy is he's he's uh 7 and0 right
1:10:19
now finisher is he a finisher yes okay yes he he knocks him out hey he
1:10:27
knocks him out the best kind of finisher only the last guy he fought he didn't knock out so this is definitely someone
1:10:33
they want in there i think they just decided that was uh he he needs to show
1:10:40
that he's he's got hopefully I just glad that they're not holding it against him yeah no I think I think that uh that was
1:10:47
like a rage bait kind of article where it's just like this is what happened and and really behind the scenes they
1:10:53
already figured out a solution well it perked my ears up so good job
1:10:59
you know what else is perking my ears up next week's UFC fight night Lewis versus Tesara
1:11:06
what's perking your ears up the most seeing Derek Lewis in his fight
1:11:12
promotion during the whole week oh man oh and a possible Shamu yes angry Shamu
1:11:19
if he knocks out Texier now this is a tough fight but this is also the type of
1:11:25
person that Derrick Lewis does well against you know yes one of these new
1:11:31
undefeated hot new toy in the heavyweight division
1:11:36
here is Derek Lewis someone who just presents all sorts of problems for you
1:11:41
and can stand right up whenever he wants
1:11:46
who you got on this one um you know I'm going to I'm going to root for Derrick Lewis on this one m um of course I have
1:11:52
to go back and watch some foot on Sean Tesera but if I remember correctly he's
1:11:58
not a grappler he's just a a knockout guy yeah I'm trying to remember what his
1:12:04
uh Tafa knockout looked like but I don't remember spectacular but it was really
1:12:10
short so it'll be a easy uh it's going to be some easy tape to watch all of his fights are first round finishes except
1:12:17
for one modified rules kickboxing fight which I won't be watching but all the
1:12:23
rest of them is perfect it's like all those fights combined are one round
1:12:29
it's a five minute highlight reel but it's the full fight must be nice all
1:12:34
seven fights so uh so yeah that'll be a fun little one to peruse and maybe we
1:12:41
got a new superstar with this Texera guy but uh he's main event already it's only
1:12:48
his second UFC fight that's I mean the
1:12:54
heavyweight division is that's crazy is by far the fastest um the the quickest path to victory
1:13:01
because it's it's always kind of a coin toss to be honest like one of you is going to knock the other out yeah and a
1:13:09
knockout over Justin Topa in uh 35 seconds is a good way to get a main
1:13:15
event in heavyweight a great way to make people take notice yeah like oh we'll watch that we'll wait around for that
1:13:21
perfect we also have Wonder Boy fighting Gabriel Bonf
1:13:26
going with Thompson oh really yeah this one though this one is what is really
1:13:33
exciting me calvin Kedar versus Steve Garcia okay this is going to be a
1:13:38
standup fight and it is going to be fun garcia I really like Kater but Garcia is just
1:13:45
mean he is he is he is so mean and I think this is going to be a bloody mess
1:13:52
of a fight and I'm very excited for it yeah he fights a little longer than Kater um but uh if Calvin gets him in
1:13:58
the pocket like we're not sure what Garcia looks like in there he he also can fight short though like I know his
1:14:05
inboxing is really nice like he lands heavy punches on the inside so yeah it's
1:14:10
one of these like new new blood even though he's 33 it's new blood coming into the featherweight division and
1:14:18
Kater there's just so much tape on him so many five round fights like there's a lot for him to kind of digest and figure
1:14:24
out openings for so yeah yeah this is going to be a tough one and we have our
1:14:30
boy Nate Lanwware hey and he is taking on Morgan Shereé Sheree
1:14:45
i don't know why I say like a Brazilian speaking French but it reads more French
1:14:58
yeah he's fighting Nate Landwear um I got Nate for this one i think I feel
1:15:05
like this Morgan guy he he's been impressive he's impressive against
1:15:12
people who don't have that dog in him they got that dog in them he is like
1:15:18
100% he's like he's a mix he's a pitbull Rottweiler mix
1:15:26
it's a little bit of boxer he's he's just Yeah he's he's um definitely gonna
1:15:32
get in his face take his hardest hits and keep coming forward and uh uh
1:15:37
Morgan's still kind of learning you know he's still kind of fresh in there and I haven't that Nathaniel Wood fight I
1:15:44
thought that he was going to be a little too much for him and he and he was he was just out veteraned to him scored
1:15:51
more on the feet was able to like dictate the pace and yeah I'm I'm sure he learned a lot from that fight but I
1:15:57
think Nate Landworth just is able to do that with pressure
1:16:02
and his back's up against the wall a little bit and we know that Nate does really well when he needs to pull a win
1:16:09
out yeah so we'll see it's uh and they're they're getting teed up to see who gets
1:16:17
to move on to the next spot so that'll be a fun one to watch too yes ma'am all
1:16:23
right well yeah we got a lot of other fights uh Patrino's back versus Jan Lane
1:16:29
um not sure who he is oh we'll find out do better research you
1:16:36
know um okay he got knocked out by Pinto
1:16:42
uh got a decision versus Robelis and he got knocked out by Janata Denise
1:16:49
did you see did you see that thing that the hot air balloon i had no idea how
1:16:55
crazy this guy he is a thrillseker jonatada Denise had an MMA fight in
1:17:04
a hot air balloon that was shaped like an MMA cage yes yes i can't like I'm
1:17:10
trying to make the sentence make sense it doesn't it sounds like a madeup Pixar
1:17:16
movie it was crazy they're like in there in their fight shorts with parachutes on
1:17:23
and they're fighting each other in midair i'm like "What if a gust of wind picks up right as he throws a high
1:17:29
kick?" Like it could be a catastrophe dude like he can't throw any flying anything like
1:17:36
nothing's spinning you'll propel her right out of the No no we're We're going We're going to the ground for sure i
1:17:43
don't want to lean up against the fence i don't want to sway anything i just really need it to like be on the ground
1:17:50
and then I want to be on the ground again that was terrifying so he said in his postfight presser that they're
1:17:57
thinking of something that's even crazier than that no what do you think it could be no I can't i'm I'm too old
1:18:03
to be this terrified my like my adrenal glands are just shot i can't I can't well we talked about uh like the torpedo
1:18:10
league the deep end fitness stuff and how terrifying that was maybe it's like a underwater no he So he said that he's
1:18:17
been skydiving for like five years so I feel like it's going to be like they jump out of a plane and fight each other
1:18:23
and then like pull their parachutes at the last second what if you knock him out i know what if he knocks the guy out
1:18:30
and then he falls to his death unconscious i know i know this is I can't even think about this i can't even
1:18:36
think about it right now maybe it'll be like I'm gonna be up all night thinking about this maybe it'll be like the buddy
1:18:42
fight thing there'll be there'll be the act the parachute guy on the back and he's
1:18:48
watching you fight and then if you get knocked out he'll pull the tab for you oh like tandem that just it just seems
1:18:56
like I don't know i guess we'll just What if you accidentally knock out the buddy guy instead like if he slips the
1:19:02
punch you knock out the buddy guy and then he has the only access to the string i know there's you you got to
1:19:09
make it safe man like Janata don't die doing something we like watching fight
1:19:14
seem like a great guy just stay safe please stay on the ground oh my goodness
1:19:21
well yeah he he just got a big win uh opening up 317 too so good for him uh
1:19:28
let's hope he uh keeps it keeps it on the ground literally for his next one dude all
1:19:35
right well I'm good i need sleep yeah I'm tired so tired i didn't do much
1:19:41
today but I am tired dude i'm exhausted it was so much my you know like the
1:19:48
whole social battery thing is so true yeah I know like my social battery has
1:19:54
been on E since I got off of the plane in Vegas like like my my driver was very nice
1:20:03
and it took a lot out of me oh it was a chatty driver oh he was so
1:20:10
chatty oh so chatty so fun and I'm like h I wish I could tip him but then he's
1:20:17
gonna go and do that to someone else a No I just didn't have money i wanted to
1:20:22
tap him but then I was also like maybe it's for the bus we got Venmo no he
1:20:27
didn't have Venmo well it's it's you know the black uh car drivers that they
1:20:32
pick you up in a little sign yeah they don't let them Venmo i even texted him i
1:20:38
was like "Hey can I Vinmo him?" And they were like "Oh we've never been asked that before." What yeah right sheepies i
1:20:46
know they don't want him to but yeah he was fine they said gratuitity was included so it's fine but long story
1:20:53
