Your vision is blurry, all you remember is there's 90 seconds left on the clock and if you turn your shoulder just slightly you won't pass out. The walls begin to close in. A tunnel of fuzzy darkness at the edge of your vision expands as the light recedes into a pinprick amongst the black. Sleep beckons. You let it wash over you.
You awaken. Your eyes focus on a jiggling behind as it twerks in front of your still uncomprehending face.

like the way you did I R her she get hips like Eileen Perez oh I
0:14
like that she did but her opponent didn't like it I don't think I would have liked it I I
0:21
may have tried to smack her ass or something like I'd kick her in the butt just like tow right up the butt
0:29
I've actually done that before you know like pull your pull your your toes back
0:35
and have the one but that was because a girl was pulling guard on me and she was
0:40
just like standing there remember the Olivia fight yes I was like how dare you
0:46
present your butthole to me take that that's what you get I don't know it seemed like a my first reaction I feel
0:53
like that's what I probably do someone did that to me if someone is cheeky you get to be cheeky too yeah they go that's
1:00
only fair yeah if someone's cheeky you get to check that oil with your
1:06
toe dude that was uh I mean all right I I kind of like her stick like I like the
1:13
oh I'm I can twerk like she's really good at twerking but that was so disrespectful she really lean into her
1:20
brain so disrespect like yeah she's really leaning in and like like we saw a
1:26
battle like that's kind of what you want to do right you want people to have these really high emotions about you and
1:33
that's what she's doing I think everyone is really stoked about her fighting Kayla hais
1:39
now yeah she just sold that fight like please please
1:44
Kayla make her stop make her stop her dirty dancing so I think the main reason
1:51
why people are so angry about this is because of her weight cut and her weight Miss do you think that's the only reason
1:58
I think I think that's the main reason people are extra angry about cuz it's not the first time she's twerked no
2:03
she's twerked while she was like mounted on someone she twerks after this is a
2:08
thing it's a thing no it's her it's her thing yeah she trademarked it yeah but I think uh people are mad at the
2:16
disrespect because she missed weight and then she does something like that which
2:23
is kind of like you should you should still be ashamed of cheating I think that's how fans view it but in the long
2:30
run it's a win a win to win she gets she tosses her a little change for her
2:36
weight miss you know her little like 20% or whatever it is but she still got a win on her record she still gets the ADV
2:43
to the to advance she still has like a streak so I mean I I would be surprised
2:49
if Fighters actually felt ashamed of missing weight after they won like it's
2:55
no it kind of erases it yes like it kind of like you do what you got to do you know yeah and I mean the the statistics
3:03
behind fighters who Mis weight and win are are really really high I don't know that that was her strategy because it
3:09
looked like she was trying to make weight yeah it looked like she was trying to make weight to the point of
3:14
compromising her health and people actually had strong feelings watching her on the scale and walking off having
3:20
to be like kind of coralled and and kind of assisted off
3:26
stage when she was on the scale I think people also thought that the fight could have been called at that point yeah well
3:34
I feel like I'm G to get crap for this but go for it girl it felt a bit
3:39
dramatic okay it felt a bit put on like when she was walking away from did you
3:47
watch the whole video yes I did you know what I'm about to say yes I when she's walking away from the scale she's still
3:55
shaking her body was trembling her she was twerking
4:00
she was I don't think it was she was still TW if you watch a video her butt was gone like this her whole body cuz
4:06
she was trembling so hard and it made me feel like it was like this dramatic performance to make people not angry at
4:14
her for missing weight like I don't think she tried any less hard to make weight but like The Dramatics was so
4:22
much you don't think that her health was on the line and her body was having like a a reaction to that like her body was
4:28
failing her I think she's seen what that looks like and she tried to act it out and it looked like me pretending to cry
4:37
like just I don't know I feel like a lot of
4:42
people were feeling that way like it was a bit dramatic it was a bit like off of
4:48
what we've seen usually when someone actually had a hard weight cut and everyone's body responds differently so
4:56
I'm probably going to get shipped for this but it it just looked like put on now you're allowed to have your opinion
5:01
yeah and that's just what it first first glance that's what it looked like to me especially when you see the post Wayan
5:08
video of Mor Rob smacking that ass and she is only trembling her butt cheeks in
5:15
that video did you see that one that when that was that was right after the weigh-in no yeah there's a video she
5:21
look very rehydrated in that one I thought it was like like early in fight week no that was after Wayne's no that's
5:30
what that's what the story I I mean I need to see the time stamp on girl hold
5:35
on girl I need to pull up Instagram but I saw it after the weigh-ins and
5:40
everyone was like she's doing that after her weighin really I didn't I didn't
5:45
know that that was the timeline okay well now I may have a different opinion but I just need to see
5:50
the time stamps yeah I I don't know where the video is but was on like it was probably on like ESPN MMA or
5:56
something like that probably they always is
6:02
okay it looks like maybe ceremonials like ceremonial WS I she was like amply
6:09
recovered she's amply recovered but it's still the same day yeah aen Perez let morab get another touch after her way
6:18
in does that look like someone who almost died it looks 4 hours ago it's
6:24
more than 4 hours no 6 hours it's not that long she was much happier morning
6:30
weigh and then the evening is when you do the ceremonials yeah so it's less
6:36
than 12 hours I can understand why you are
6:42
having these I'm just saying I felt bad I felt bad for her until I saw Mor Rob
6:47
smacking that ass I'm just saying I I can see what you're saying I
6:53
can see what you're saying I didn't know that that was the timeline I look like less of a dick now less okay
7:00
yes women support women no I I understand what you're
7:07
thinking that and if that's if that's the case if that's put on you know I
7:12
just how I was looking at it was she just had a really heart weight cut she's emotional her body's reacting you
7:18
know yes but she got and still staying on
7:24
brand hey stayed on brand she is dedicated she is dedicated I I don't care if I'm on my deathbed I will
7:32
twerk my body will do it even if I don't want it to um but that fight was pretty
7:38
crazy she um I I feel like this is kind of what people expected the girl is a a
7:44
decent Striker she is kind of green on the ground she got taken down right away
7:50
uh sat on and then submitted bless you thank you excuse me
7:56
I actually forget how the submission what did she get was a had an arm oh had an arm yes so she actually defended the
8:02
first tank down attempt and Perez ended up on bottom for for just a little bit
8:08
they got back up and then um eileene was able to get her down um get to like she
8:13
didn't even pass to mount or I mean onto the other side she was kind of stuck in like a a half guard kind of situation
8:19
from what I remember but yeah she ended up getting the the head and arm choke yeah yeah she just kind of like punched
8:24
her and the girl was like No And then she was like oh no yeah you got to be careful green man like I mean just not
8:31
like green but this is a mistake that you make once and then and never again
8:37
never again because it's one of those like classic setups you get punched in the face you lift your arm to defend and
8:43
then you can do something with that arm you could choke you can like go for an arm bar you can do whatever you want
8:49
with that arm just because they're thinking about the punches so you can definitely tell there's a little uh
8:54
experience Gap there and she took advantage of it yeah she capitalized
8:59
perfectly yeah and then of course the only video you see of the fight which is
9:04
why I forget what happens is her getting up from the submission and going twerk
9:10
twerk and as the girl sits up she turns her butt she tracks the girl with her butt
9:18
and twerks again that's so wild it it was a little out of pocket a
9:24
little and you know what I loved the most about the twerk was the face it was so serious
9:30
did you see her face she was like yes I did it was like the most serious like
9:35
she was hitting pads with her but right there she was just
9:40
like take that like it was it was very focused a very focused twerk lot of em
9:46
she knows what she's got yeah and she was like how dare you talk about this this is amazing this is beautiful you're
9:55
hater get a girl hate this H that's great um so uh what do you
10:03
think is next for aen Perez do you think she's going to get that big matchup that
10:09
she's asking for I don't know if she's ready or if they're going to give her Kayla Harris um but I I like where her
10:17
head's at I like that you know she's she wants to advance and she's trying to come up
10:24
um they could potentially give her somebody in in the top 15 uhhuh why not
10:32
yeah let's see who they could give her why is the mandal lios
10:38
and flyweight um yeah I just I was very confused by that she's ranked 15 at uh
10:46
at flyweight is this wait is that that's a pound per pound oh God I was like what
10:52
there's just no ban weights in it I like what's happening where's Bantam weight
10:57
um okay so she just broke into the she's in the top 15 um I I think maybe top 15
11:04
would be okay I think they could probably give her um maybe like
11:11
a Julia Aila is Misha Tate still on the rankings
11:17
yeah has she fought in a while that would be a big fight for Perez because Misha is a world beater you know still
11:26
dude she still like that that would be a big coming out party if Perez was able
11:32
to get past her um I think I think I like that one I like that one I think that would be a fun hot girl fight we
11:40
haven't had any bantamweight hot girl fights in the minute it's been so long I
11:45
think that would be a great one yeah let's do it they could also potentially put her against uh oh no she pulled out
11:52
from injury I was like oh since she missed this fight they could like you know just circle back with that but I
11:58
mean they might rematch it they might they might try to like rebook it I mean um but yeah that was that was what it
12:05
was supposed to be right no that was on the that was on the undercard ah yeah oh
12:11
yeah I think I missed that one yeah I would give her I would give
12:16
her top 15 I don't know I don't know about Top 10 but I would give her one of the like 11 through 14s yeah I would
12:23
love to see her fight uh Misha Tate I think that would be a good um test to
12:29
see if she can pull the whole change into the guard thing or if Misha's still got it dude Misha still got it I think
12:35
she's still I think I think Misha's G to come in like a favorite in that matchup for sure but there's always that X
12:41
Factor of the new person having skills that we haven't seen before I think we've seen most of Misha's like tricks
12:49
that she has is just she's so good at it I think we've seen an evolution with Misha striking for sure stri definely
12:56
her boxing in her last couple fights like since she's come back have looked really really good yeah know for sure I
13:02
want to see that one if she's still I want it to happen yeah me too let's call back because we can't we can't get the
13:09
Kayla Harris fight that soon but we can work up to it if she if she beats meisha
13:15
that's a good case for it and if not I mean Misha Misha can get those Kudos too for taking out the the twerker yeah I
13:23
say that or Julia Ula yeah she should um uh motorboat her if
13:30
she if she wins you know like you get twerked on if you lose and if you win
13:36
you motab BM no no M Misha is too classy for
13:43
that um what was another fight that you enjoyed on this
13:49
card um who was it hold on we didn't talk
13:54
about the one performance of the my uh Morgan
14:00
sh no sh sh against Miranda wait how do
14:05
you say it we just thought we just figure this out sh sh sh don't get mad at us we're trying
14:12
we're trying okay sh who's way more fancy than me um that was that was a
14:19
beautiful knockout I really wanted to talk about the the zum and fola yeah two
14:24
like crazy Knockouts that happened when the guy kind of turned to face him M yeah it was really nice they were both
14:31
really nice um with uh ZM versus frola uh that one was just
14:41
wild because it was like he used his grappling to get to that knockout even
14:46
though it was standing it was a really it was a really nice just like a progression of what happened but he was
14:52
just it's a it's a testament to being good at attacking everywhere in MMA like
14:58
that's what's going to beat everyone no matter what their style if you're able to mix it up if you're able to go
15:04
striking take down hold them on the ground like as they're getting up don't squeeze don't tie yourself up from
15:11
trying to hold them down but hitting them as they get up when they turn him face he hit him with something nasty and
15:17
that's what he was able to do he had his hand on his head as Rola was turning to face him and those legs are so
15:26
long that leg is so long I feel like can knee someone in the face standing upright that's taller than him you know
15:33
like his leg went all the way up into his head and it's not a strike that you
15:39
usually see someone get that kind of power on just because like the leverage
15:44
usually isn't there like usually you can pull someone's head down into your knee
15:50
you can't usually pull your knee up into their head and that's kind of what he did right on the turnaround so fola
15:56
didn't see it coming and it dropped him like a dead body that was so crazy it
16:01
was it was a garly knockout and I think that that's why they made this match up because fola is always like he's always
16:08
a dog in a fight know he's always game he always just like comes forward
16:13
swinging hard and he mixes it up fairly well it's just the the crispness the
16:20
Precision of of ZM and the build too yes yeah he really knows how to use that
16:25
build mhm yeah that was nasty yeah that was a beautiful beautiful knockout so
16:30
nasty like everyone's going to be doing like weird like
16:36
knees inspiring next week big warm up big warm up yeah big
16:41
warm those groins up before you before you go for it and your chins too warm up
16:48
your chins yeah um but uh what was it um
16:54
chartier Shier Shier and uh Miranda kind of had a similar knockout where he
17:00
caught him as he was turning to face him in his case he was throwing a spinning back fist but it was right off of like a
17:06
uchim he was trying to get that hip throw when it didn't work he's like all right bail out throw the spin and back
17:13
Fist and as he was turning the face charier he landed a nasty hook so
17:18
powerful great timing there's um I mean I think in this fight card we especially saw the opportunity of just those little
17:26
moments to take advantage of um in in the clinch breaks it's a really key time
17:33
that you know somebody kind of like leaves themselves vulnerable as we saw um it's important that when you're
17:38
separating from an engagement in the clench or striking or anything like that you keep your hands up you keep your WS
17:44
about you and your defense strong uh because this is what can happen yeah or just be a little unpredictable like a
17:50
lot of times when you throw like spinning back elbows you want to kind of do it at an angle so that you're not
17:56
just spinning straight around and they know exactly where where your head is going to be um but with the frivola one
18:02
I felt like he did everything right like he was standing straight up he was like
18:07
facing his opponent and it's just like that little millisecond of opening uh he
18:16
was able to take advantage of it it was really cool to watch yeah that was beautiful yeah it was beautiful to see
18:22
his well-rounded game because Zam is known for just his striking resume yeah
18:28
and his um and that's yeah I think we'll start
18:33
seeing more of an evolution of the prestigious striking that France is known for and we'll start seeing a lot
18:40
more uh because they're also known for Judo so I think that there's a great opportunity for that kind of mix yeah
18:47
they all need to join J flow um I think I think yeah people there there's a lot
18:53
of uh openings in Judo too where you get taken advantage of of like uh like with
19:00
the uchimada that he threw getting smacked in the head right after that so
19:05
it's uh it's nice to see France kind of catch up to being able to blend it all
19:12
together and not get messed up when you're blending because that's the
19:17
scariest part of putting different styles together in MMA the rules are still being made you know like there
19:25
there you can say there's dos and don'ts and all these sports that have last that have lasted centuries like boxing like
19:33
uh you know Taekwondo Judo all these sports that have been around forever
19:38
there's definitely going to be some dos and dots and very a lot less room for
19:43
being creative and making your own thing and having it actually be new but in MMA
19:49
everything's new like blending all the different styles and making them work like in in a flow that's so new for the
19:57
sport and it's like once you're able to do that then you really excel in the way that uh that ZM was able to in this
20:04
fight I think so I think what you're saying is it's pretty key it is a new
20:09
and evolving Sport and the crazy thing about MMA is the only way you get to really
20:16
experience and figure out if things work is if it's in competition and that's it's a hard learning curve it's a it's a
20:22
hard way to learn but you learn fast and uh Shier too I'm just not mentioning him
20:28
cuz I keep pronouncing his name wrong but his fight was crazy too where he was just going like uh take down the fence
20:36
wrestling getting on top hunting for Subs hopping up getting out of submissions getting up punching kicking
20:43
like doing all the things that he had to do like he was good offensively and defensively like uh Miranda had his
20:50
moments but uh just being in the moment at every point and ready to attack ready
20:57
to make that move is that's going to win you to fight at every moment like he was able to find that little millisecond as
21:03
well and so it's like yeah you're seeing you're seeing it a lot more in MMA in French MMA for sure but just in MMA in
21:10
general where everyone's just blending really naturally no it was impressive that he knew the right moments to
21:16
moments to stay safe and the right moments to capitalize be aggressive take advantage of the situation yeah yeah it
21:23
was a good fight two good fights with really nasty finishes
21:30
and uh I think there's just one more I wanted to mention when it comes
21:36
to the judging oh did you watch Ian calaba
21:41
versus even ursan I did so that one was kind
21:47
of uh I I was kind of on the fence with I didn't yeah I didn't know how I felt
21:52
about it afterwards okay after I heard that decision read I kind of questioned
21:58
if I agreed with it or not and I feel like I have to go back and watch that fight again but I remember when I heard the decision I was like well I was
22:06
watching it and I thought that they called Evan Ian's name as the winner and
22:13
I was like what the [ __ ] but then but then they raised like ion kava's hand
22:19
and I was like oh okay so I thought it was a pretty clear two fights or two fights two rounds to one um and I still
22:27
have to go and look at the scorecard to see what that actually looked like but one judge gave
22:34
urson one of the first two rounds and I thought that was crazy like uron came on strong in the
22:42
last round um but in no way was it a 108 round he just kind of got on top he did
22:47
what he had to do he made it boring he um was heavy on top and I think he
22:53
landed a little bit too and then at the very end Ian calaba was able to R it
22:58
which negates the 108 but uh for whatever reason watching it live it seemed really
23:06
clear that calaba won the first two rounds he was just he just looked sharp
23:11
you know he was Landing clean he was going for his own takedowns he he was
23:17
just like doing really well in that fight and then in the third round it looked like he had wasted all his energy
23:22
in the first two but he was still safe he wasn't getting hit he wasn't getting hurt he was just getting told he's one
23:29
of those Fighters that he's always looking for The Knockout everything's a power shot so it kind of it doesn't
23:35
surprise me that his gas tank fails so much it it definitely goes down if he
23:42
but he's always exciting to watch so I have the scorecards pulled up and this is one of those fights where I didn't
23:48
watch it closely enough and that's why I say I have to watch it again because the moments where I was watching I was
23:54
seeing urson engage more um um so I'd like to go watch it back so Damon
24:02
gluski um Anders Olsen and Clemens worner were the judges and gluski is the
24:10
one who gave it who gave the first and third round to ursan which is wild
24:16
because kaba's first round looked like the best first round of his
24:21
career yes like I was just like this guy sucks
24:27
yeah and then C lava is destroying this guy like how did he get it wrong and the
24:34
only thing I could think of is that he mixed up their first names cuz I'm like how could he get that wrong yeah so it
24:41
was um Olsen and Warner that gave the first two to cila and then the last
24:48
round they gave to ursan yeah and I think it was like one of those clear 29 28s but that's where you see most of the
24:56
robbery calls because a 2928 is so easy to go the other way it's just like two
25:03
rounds to one if it's a 3027 then it's a lot harder to Rob someone um but in this
25:09
case it's like H we'll just we'll just give give our guy the first round what's what's the harm in that you know and uh
25:16
yeah I I'm I'm just happy that they didn't do like a crazy robbery because when they raised the hand Even's hand
25:25
went up too because they have like almost the same for his name so I felt bad cuz he was really excited he was it
25:31
always makes me it breaks my heart he's just like and then the camera it nope
25:37
not you yes sad little puy oh it was horrible and then someone else did that
25:43
too but they were joking uh one of the guys got kind of demolished by one of the French guys I think and oh it was uh
25:51
Taylor lilis he fought oh la okay lapis
25:56
yeah he actually fought Wilson in Aries um not too long ago a few years ago and
26:03
kind of similar thing he's gotten a lot better with his gas tank but Wilson had a lot of trouble getting in on him
26:08
Wilson Hayes our buddy our buddy a former flyweight Challenger for the
26:15
championship um he fought him at 135 and kind of similar where he had a lot of
26:20
trouble getting in getting past Taylor's range but then in the last round he was
26:26
able to get into the grapple Exchange and get on his back and threaten stuff but wasn't able to do enough to actually
26:33
like win the fight or get close to um or get the sub but uh Taylor's been like
26:39
working on this because he got in a similar position with Morales and was able to get out and get back on top and
26:47
it didn't look like it fad him at all like before I felt like he would kind of fade once the grappling exchange started
26:52
but you could tell he's really been working on that ground game and he's going to be a monster um and abandon
26:58
weight division because those knees are so nasty like his knees he he throws like
27:04
those Muay Thai knees from the outside that just Crush into the ribs they're so
27:10
gross he was hiding them really well with his with his left with a straight left to the knee it was just it was
27:17
beautiful and they were mean and devastating yeah it was a really fun to watch F them through the
27:23
TV I feel your pain ow that's going to take six weeks your pain six weeks
27:30
definitely that was nasty and but yeah at the end Vince Morales he kind of went
27:35
oh when they read the decision just jokingly but I thought that was cute like you gotta you got to make fun of a
27:44
situation when it sucks no for sure yeah well yeah that's all I have for this
27:50
card um are you
27:55
excited about you UFC 307 it's coming up going down in sou
28:03
Lake City Utah man I always feel bad for people when they have to take a fight in
28:08
elevation I just Oh I thought you meant in Salt Lake City well yes that too yeah but because
28:16
you can't party on Sundays dude it's like you're in Mormon country and it's
28:21
at elevation what's the fun in fighting in Salt Lake City is there a fun is there a light at the end of the time
28:29
you just got to get out early get on the plane get on the plane early and then take your celebration to your home state
28:35
yeah take your celebration to sea level oh cuz it's not fun I remember
28:41
when you know Beck fought there and we were trying to find you know some place to go you know just celebrate house some
28:47
breakfast we found some brunch spots they have great brunch spots okay and you can have alcohol oh nice the
28:53
loophole yes okay brunch but brunch closes down at like 1 so you got to you got to get in there he's still going to
28:59
be tired from your fight yes yeah that's crazy that that's that's
29:05
a sentence right there that's not a that's not an opportunity that's a
29:10
punishment just go home what did they do I thought they liked P why would they put him there but you know he's probably
29:17
the only Champion that was like sha let's do it you know like he doesn't care he's he's just happy to show up and
29:24
get paid as much as they're paying him I would fight if I were anywhere yeah
29:29
whenever you need me yeah sure 10 times a year sure please sure thank you I'd
29:34
like to own a small island I'll do that no problem oh man
29:41
and then uh so we have Alex P fighting khil round tree and we have Raquel
29:47
Pennington fighting Juliana Pena and so I didn't realize this but
29:53
there's like some serious tension from when they were on the ultimate fighter together yes tell me more there was a
29:59
whole thing I just you know Juliana thought that they were Buds and they were friends and they were supporting
30:05
each other yeah and I guess Raquel kind of slighted her in some way in her
30:11
experience yeah I think she said something behind her back and was like
30:17
talking crap about Pena to like her new friends I guess or whoever had to fight
30:22
her next but hey Ultimate Fighter was a long time ago I don't know how long ago
30:28
was but ours was 10 years ago not long enough though not long enough The Grudge
30:33
has not died she's still holding on to it and she cannot wait to take it out on her in Salt Lake City yeah I mean if
30:39
anything a chip on your shoulder gets you up in the morning for runs it gets you like going to wrestling practice it
30:45
gets you doing all the things that you don't want to do for fight camp but I feel like juli an a pinga every time
30:52
she's in there she's like a cage dog that's just been like she'll find a reason to hate her opponent for sure
30:58
yeah yeah just like never made an appointment that she liked no
31:03
no I can't think of one oh but one thing I love about
31:09
Juliana pinging she is probably the best [ __ ] talker of all women in MMA oh my
31:17
God she'd be so mean I'm like please stop she'd be so mean like for me for me
31:23
like I don't think I've ever been in a position where I had to talk [ __ ] but I feel like I'd be okay okay if the person
31:28
was talking [ __ ] first sure but she is able to just pull that hatred out of
31:34
nowhere like thin air I hate you cuz you look past me like
31:40
I just never got matched against you calm down what are you talking about who
31:45
who who wait who is this lady you know but she she never even met
31:51
yeah she's just able to Garner the hatred and use it to her ability and it works so well for her D I never bet
31:58
against Julian Pena no it's stupid it's stupid like don't count her out dude so
32:04
many people must have made money off of her when she fought aanda
32:09
nunz like the two people who didn't count her out who put the who signed the
32:15
check on if I could have put money on that I would have yeah because she just
32:21
has I swear to God like on paper it does not look like she's you know it's it's a
32:26
favorable match up but she just pulls out yeah it's like you shouldn't watch
32:32
tape to figure out if she's going to win just look at her record and just be like okay she did well against these people
32:39
who fight similar don't look at how she did well against but she makes it work like
32:45
that's what I'm saying MMA is such a new sport that we're always Reinventing the will and a lot of what she does Breaks
32:53
the Rules of every sport that she's doing like she the way she like strikes
32:58
the way she wrestles like a lot of the way she does things it's like you
33:03
probably shouldn't do that because this might happen but it doesn't happen to her because she just believes in it so much she commits to things and like yeah
33:11
every now and then like she'll get she'll she'll uh eat it for it but for
33:16
the most part she's been very successful with her style so this fight uh I don't
33:22
know because Raquel Pennington is another one who when you count her out she's able to perform a very tentative a
33:31
very technical win against someone that you counted her out against and I forget
33:36
who the last person she fought was but I was I was pretty surprised she yeah Myra
33:41
she she dismantled Myra she waited the storm she stayed technical she stayed
33:46
composed and she did just enough to pick her apart each round yeah so I'm I'm
33:52
curious if she's going to be able to do the same thing against paa because paa runs hot as well she comes out hard but
34:00
she definitely has uh more experience and better technique than Myra so I'm wondering um I'm wondering how that's
34:06
going to look I'm not sure I'm not sure who to pick do you have a pick for this one or you are you sticking by your not
34:13
picking against paa claim yeah ah I just this this is a hard one
34:21
because I think that they both have styles that can cancel each other out which is going to be who does it better
34:26
on that night mhm mhm so yeah I I don't want to pick against Pena um I think
34:32
gel's been looking really good um really sharp and and tenacious just like
34:38
Juliana Pena so I'm just I'm kind of on the fence about this one and I hate being on the fence I know me too um they
34:44
both uh they're both moms now too they have that extra X Factor that mom champ
34:51
yeah that mom champ J no it's a thing yeah it's a thing yes and we also have
34:56
joale Al though I don't it's a thing we think we hear what
35:03
I've seen yeah we deduced that it's a
35:08
thing maybe one day oh yeah um yes Jose Aldo versus
35:16
Mario Batista oo match up yes yeah that'll be fun uh
35:24
Mario Batista he's he's a monster I forget who the guy was that he beat um
35:30
but one of the guys on his record is like pretty high up there Ricky Simone
35:36
or no I think it's I think it's somebody he lost to oh yeah he he's only lost to
35:42
Trevon Jones and Corey San Haagen Trevon Jones isn't in the UFC anymore but he's
35:48
like he's the guy who knocked out Cody gy Bryant too and uh it was kind of hard to judges sty first coming out there but
35:56
aside from that he's beaten everyone else he's fought in the UFC so this is
36:02
going to be a good one um Ricky Simone is another big name that he fought and beat uh and now Jose Aldo is that big
36:10
step up it's kind of similar to what we were talking about if Perez gets someone like Misha Tate it's a big step up for a
36:19
relatively newer guy but I don't think competition Wise It's like a a gimme for
36:25
Alo I think there's definitely a lot of uh fears in um Batista's offense he's really good at
36:33
mixing it up he has monster leg kicks as well he's a he's a gamer and he's going
36:38
to come after him all the rounds it's going to be a fun one to watch definitely and then we have Katlyn
36:45
Vieira and Kayla Harrison oh on the same card and you know you know that if Kayla
36:54
Harrison wins she is going to be in that octagon afterwards challenging whoever wins yes
37:02
and can you imagine if it's Juliana Penny and Kay Harris inside that inside that octagon promoting their fight God I
37:09
just want them to do a world tour for their fight just promote it everywhere take them to every city make them stand
37:15
in front of each other over and over again to build the tension because I feel like it's going to be it like we
37:22
don't get that that often yeah we don't get women's MMA we don't get that that often where we have two women who are
37:29
going to play the part yes they're just going to lean sink their teeth into each
37:34
other like I um I I like uh interviewed Juliana Pena once and she was talking
37:41
about Holly Holm and she was saying all this crap about Holly H home and I'm like about the preacher's daughter I'm like but she's so
37:48
nice how you say something bad about her she's so mean she's so nice but if she
37:53
was talking about Kayla Harrison it's like yeah cuz Kayla Harris will clap back like she will clap back she is
38:00
excellent at clapping back like the little bit that she's done in pfl the little bit that she's done in media now
38:05
that she's gotten into the UFC I would love to hear that back and forth then I won't feel bad for one of
38:12
them not engaging and just getting badgered by the other yeah no no shade
38:19
or anything like that but recall Pennington isn't you know she's just going to be like H yeah she's so chill
38:25
what you think yeah she's so chill right we'll prove it in the
38:31
cage on give me the drama yes just some energy into it take the take the
38:38
preacher daughter's gonna beat me oh wait what what is uh ping is uh she doesn't have a Pennington she doesn't
38:45
have a nickname or Pena right no Venezuelan vixon is paa I Rocky I think
38:51
oh Rocky yes yes you think a vixen's going to beat
38:57
Rocky and Salt Lake City I don't know yeah
39:02
she's not going to give us that that extra o when it comes to the buildup but
39:07
Harrison versus Pena I am kind of rooting for it even though I like pen
39:12
Pennington winning as well uh we'll see we'll leave it in the hands of the War
39:17
gods yeah just for the drama just for selfish for the drama reason completely selfish because we've been binging all
39:24
the things on Netflix and we love our dramas you're watching something right
39:29
now right yes yeah the um what's it called um like I don't want to talk
39:34
about it it's called no one wants this oh it's
39:41
with uh Kristen Bell that's fun it's adorable it's kind of like a romcom okay
39:47
normally uh I needed a little palette cleanser you know from my my drama crime
39:53
documentaries true crime documentaries dude that's that stuff like it it depresses me so much like the drama and
40:00
the crime or the crime docks it's so sad sometimes it can be a little much I just finished monster with the the menend
40:06
brothers that one was pretty heavy oh I just started that it was really well done o I think I watched it too fast
40:13
though often I I often do especially in fight Camp I just I have a lot of time I have a lot of downtime you have to
40:19
recover I have been really focusing on recovery and you have to find something
40:25
that's going to wrap you up just enough that you're not thinking about your opponent every two
40:31
seconds yesterday when I was watching the fights I had that adrenaline up I was like oh yeah I am definitely three
40:37
weeks out because I am feeling this I like I need to stand up and walk this energy off a little bit because I like
40:44
like it's kind of getting to me yeah I'm kind of you know feeling that pent up energy where it's like almost time to go
40:50
it's still kind of far out though it's and well yeah but this is when it goes by really fast like you have your last
40:57
hard week coming then you have your week where you're kind of tapering down and then fight week so it's like Bam Bam Bam
41:04
as soon as you get through your last couple hard training sessions you're already like 15 days out yeah yeah so
41:11
it's a it's it's like it'll be there in a blink yeah I'm like wait a minute I
41:17
had more time I had more time but also it's taking forever please hurry up but
41:22
no no no not that fast stop slow down what's your problem what are you doing God yeah
41:28
yeah it's it's that it's that time it's that fun time and it's been so long since I've been in Camp and things kep
41:35
like they're familiar but they're foreign at the same time if that makes sense so it's just yeah it's a weird
41:41
kind of uh mind [ __ ] Time Warp that I'm in yeah I can imagine um anytime you're
41:48
out of it for a while and you just happen to go to a show or or even go to
41:54
like a boxing match or watch a smoker you're just like you get that flashback
41:59
the that flash memory of seeing your feet walk like it's always first person
42:04
and you see yourself go through the cage door you see you feel the canvas on your feet like oh I felt it yesterday oh
42:11
little moments like that like little visceral like o it's about to happen they always get my my adrenaline spiking
42:18
for a second yeah I was practicing my breathing technique
42:26
yesterday it's not working we'll do it again get grounded get grounded like
42:33
where are my crystals just huddling around all of them a well that's good you don't want to be
42:39
too relaxed cuz then uh you can just like be in shock when the fight starts
42:45
and you're like wait a second what we were just chilling a second ago I'm not
42:50
ready so it's kind of good to already be in the zone and just know how to shut it off when you're sick of feeling that way
42:57
yeah definitely yeah like all right time for Crime dramas I need to relax myself
43:03
yeah time for more more Netflix yeah um I I still have to finish
43:10
Bridgeton I have I have a like girl I I have a lot of half finished stuff on my
43:16
I know I haven't finished it I know but uh we still have to do our Bridget and
43:23
shoot so maybe maybe we could plan for that after your fight oh I've got things plan do you have your
43:29
dress yet your bridan dress no I get that fast we get tea and have high tea
43:35
in the courtyard I can't wait oh my God by the flowers in the flower garden of
43:42
course by the rose bushes pinkies out long gloves and everything well yeah
43:50
um I'm excited for next week's fights and uh hopefully they don't suffer
43:57
from the altitude you know they are they will P won't no he won't he's been
44:04
living in alud he's a superum yes he is um oh Buckley's fighting a Wonder Boy
44:09
what when on that c 307 I didn't know that how did I miss
44:15
that nice sick and we have uh two chicks in our weight class uh Marina H Rodriguez versus Yas Meine lucendo which
44:24
is a weird one but huge step up for YZ me and Carla Esparza is fighting
44:31
Tisha Pennington that makes sense yes yes I think I think I heard
44:39
that it's both of their retirement fights yep but that's kind of sweet I like that yeah I think that's the only
44:45
reason it's not tough for Tisha to fight on the same card as Raquel like I I
44:52
couldn't imagine that would be really hard it's so tough like uh yeah I couldn't imagine fighting the same card
44:58
as Adam you know it would be a lot there's a lot of um selfishness and and
45:05
inward focusing that is required and there's also a lot of support required so it would be I think that'd be really
45:10
challenging to to balance yeah you would need like a a wife for hire during fight
45:16
camp like they would both have like little standin wives well I if I were
45:22
them and I mean plus they have you know they have a young child as well uh both of them have children so I feel like
45:28
they you know definitely need that familial support maybe they've moved you know both families in for Camp that oh
45:34
god oh family during Camp woo oh yeah no just get a wife for hire
45:41
like babe you're going to like let me call you babe you're going to cook for me you're
45:47
going to rub my feet and then when your time is over you
45:52
go to Tisha and do the same for her you know like it'd be hard to like not have
45:57
that support system during camp and on fight night too that's going to be tough but uh yeah that's going to be a good
46:04
fight to close off their careers or we'll see if they don't pull a Jose Alo though oh no I think that they're both
46:11
ready for the next chapter in their life like they're they're both new moms I think that they're you know it's just
46:16
time they're ready for the new chapter yeah we'll see we'll see but I love that fight I love the idea of two veterans
46:22
fighting each other and they were on you know the ultimate fighter together yeah um on our season so I think that I think
46:28
that's really cool I really like that no it makes sense yeah um so yeah lots of cool fights on this gu this is going to
46:34
be a sleeper card man um I'm excited for it and we will see you guys next week to
46:40
break down those fights after they
46:45
happen see you next time bye
