we want to we want to expand we want to grow we're we're very um we're very
0:49
animated and you miss out when you miss the animations that happen when we talk
0:55
about certain things that we're very passionate about yes
1:03
we emote a lot think of how much more leg and emoting you would get oh man um
1:10
yeah speaking of emoting I know I said we should talk about onei but did you record it on that too it's recording you
1:16
can see it I'm just checking you can see the numbers I thought it was green no that's the red usually means stop so it
1:22
always throws me off yeah no the numbers is what I look at because then I'm like we've been talking for 40 minutes about
1:29
bad judges we could go on and on and on
1:35
like whoops it's almost time to go we haven't talked about anything else um
1:42
yeah thinking of speaking of emoting I know we were going to talk about one fight but uh I thought that the first
1:48
fight of the card was really funny did you watch that one the straw weights yes I did this girl girl uh uh baby baby Liz
1:58
Caro um it was uh Josephine nutson nutson versus uh pastry is that how you
2:06
say your names psycho pastry well she looks psycho all right cuz every time she got kicked and punched in the face
2:13
she went like please stop it oh
2:20
whoa like what are you doing uh it's like when you're playing
2:25
or when I'm playing the UFC game and I'm trying trying to hit the takeown button
2:31
but instead I hit like the flex button I hit the emote they like oh
2:37
every time she got hit she would just make a face like what are you doing she she was I I'm not trying to throw shade
2:44
but there there are certain you know times when you know you need to like get in and out of your your character your
2:50
fight name and she just she didn't do that she was really trying to like show the psycho in her oh is that what that
2:56
was yes that's her nickname she's trying to go Harley Quinn on him yeah and there's just crazy
3:03
there's a time to abandon that and like focus at the task at hand and um she finally did it towards the end of
3:10
the first round she was like oh shoot I'm actually I'm losing I need to I need to do something um it was it was um you
3:19
know classic Striker versus Grappler matchup and I was really impressed with
3:25
um that's not how you say her last name that's chin it's Kut it's canuts on your
3:31
chin canuts oh can nut on your chin it's a
3:38
question they're asking for consent consent is Big these days yeah
3:44
canot no canut son canut Sun your
3:51
stomach canut Sun your back cannot anywhere you want if you buy me dinner first hey be a gentleman maybe a couple
3:58
drinks not that easy oh gosh make it a whole
4:05
day and you can pick please just not my hair is that ises anyone ever asked yes
4:14
on your hair of course why it's a thing that's such a random place to want to do
4:20
it I don't think so I don't think a black woman has been asked that ever I don't think she ever would because she
4:25
would like probably get violent oh yes you're like do you know how long this took yeah if regular water [ __ ] it up
4:32
do you know what that would do it's [ __ ] out of here like Gorilla Snot that you
4:37
put in my hair that one time oh God yo remember the girl that uh she got
4:43
Gorilla Snot but she thought it was Gorilla Glue yes or no other Gilla glue was Gorilla Snot and she yeah and then
4:50
she like had to go to a doctor to get her hair unglued from her head I think she
4:57
would have had to shave her head off dude which is why you would never ask a black woman that no they know
5:05
better they know that is crossing a line chaos chaos insing if that happens um
5:12
so kutson versus pasty um she she was
5:18
throwing mad volume in the first round I thought she was going to knock her out
5:23
but she was she was uh picking her apart not putting a ton of ump into her strikes but just Landing at will like
5:30
pastry was precise she was following every for so pastri for for a majority
5:36
of the fight would just throw one big shot you know and nutson kutson [ __ ]
5:43
kutson would would follow that shot in with multiple
5:49
shots no it was great it was it was um it was beautiful to watch you know she has a lot of striking experience and and
5:57
it definitely showed um she will however have to make a lot of Leaps and Bounds
6:04
as she goes up the rankings because her ground game is not great yeah um luckily she was
6:11
able to either like hold and stall in certain positions or you know get back up to her feet or you know be Saved by
6:18
the Bell but this is something she'll definitely have to work on however she had a great GLA plan for Pat plot Stree
6:26
mhm and I think that actually could have won the fight had she had she picked I
6:33
didn't think she did I thought she um I thought she controlled enough in the second and but there were no strikes on
6:39
it yeah there were no strikes but the Striking was actually a little more even even in the second third round sure like
6:46
she was actually throwing combinations Landing with a little bit of power she like cracked her uh or she um cut nutson
6:56
up I think in the first round when she just took her down went crazy and I
7:01
think that gave her a lot more confidence to just like get in there and make it dirty but I felt like on the feet kson didn't do enough to win the
7:08
second and third but um I think the judges gave her I got to look but I
7:13
forget what rounds they gave her I think they all gave her the first um and then they kind of wavered on the second
7:21
either second or third because nutson got on top at one point I think at the end of the thirded it yeah yeah yeah so
7:28
that that it could just be a little moment like that that sways the fight for the other person's Direction but I I
7:35
thought she won and um you thought pastry won I thought pastry won and keton ended up getting to win but
7:42
there's it's just like no consistency so I can't really tell what's going to be scored more is it going to be control
7:50
time or is it going to be volume is it going to be damaged because I felt like pastri did more in the damage department
7:57
and the control time Department in the two rounds that I thought she won well we've talked before where you know you
8:03
were saying control time doesn't really count unless you're doing something and I think that the control time that she
8:10
had just wasn't long enough to outweigh the barrage of punches that kutson was
8:17
throwing she was throwing really precise she was throwing high volume and they were sharp and they were Landing very
8:22
well and I think that pastry when she was throwing yes they were kind of Landing but they weren't necessarily
8:28
Landing completely clean um I think that she just um kutson looked a little bit
8:34
more polished mhm yeah and then going to the media
8:40
scores everyone agreed that nutson won so maybe that's just me having PTSD from
8:47
all the times that I landed more and didn't win the rounds yeah everyone gave
8:53
her first and second and then they gave pastri the third mhm which is surprising I thought pastri would have had some
8:59
some uh you know differing on the second round I thought she did more but um yeah the media saw the same thing and again
9:07
with the with the angles the media room is in the arena they're watching the fights they're getting similar angles to
9:14
the judges so they're going to see nutson like nutson strikes Landing with
9:21
more like you know with more I guess oh you know what it was the
9:26
[ __ ] faces the faces the faces every time she got push
9:32
kicked like that that's telling people something the reaction the reaction the reactions you're making when you're when
9:39
you're taunting right after you get hit a lot of times people are uh marking
9:44
that is like oh you got hurt because you're not firing back if you get push kicked away and then you jump right back
9:51
in to the fight and land something of your own it kind of nullifies the big
9:56
moment that happened but if you let that be a big moment if you push someone away and then they're just like who what are
10:02
you doing then yeah that's good so maybe maybe that's why maybe I wasn't uh
10:09
putting as much weight into like the push kicks and moments like that that she was still making stupid faces after
10:17
each thing that happened but in a judge's mind when you're watching a
10:22
fight you're like hey this girl's Ling this girl isn't doing anything about it there were just a lot of unanswered yeah
10:29
push kicks and and the the movement the motion that was
10:34
created by those the big separation and the lack of follow through I think definitely played a big big part in why
10:41
they scored it for her yeah I mean we just watched uh that uh
10:46
Puba tuba the Puja Tamar fight um and
10:51
you know everyone's calling robbery but the thing that they were seeing was the sidekicks the really strong Sidekicks
10:58
that she was throwing and getting thingy off of her well and she was making the big faces too and the big sounds she was
11:03
making the sounds pastri just wasn't making the right face nor the right sound she didn't have the right
11:09
combination yes you need face and sound while you're throwing something you need the combo if you had if she had gotten
11:16
on top of her and done face and sound and throwing things all at the same time
11:21
like she did in that first round scor's big yeah especially especially you know
11:28
middle getting get her down middle to end it around face yell score you win
11:35
the fight yeah I think I think pastri might be kicking herself at the fact that she could have taken kutson down
11:43
more easily than she made it look I think that if she had you know taken what she learned from the first round
11:52
and then you know recreated that a little faster a little bit faster because it was always at the halfway
11:57
marker just after MH is when she would start going for the takedown she would just let nutson get off way too much and
12:04
control the range control the pace way too much until it was just it was just too late M yeah better luck next time
12:12
stop making faces when you get hit it just makes it look like a hurt yeah it's it's right right and it's
12:19
like um she's still she's still fairly young in the game and there's a lot there's a lot to learn sometimes you
12:25
know there's a lot of pressure to be entertaining to have your persona to have your brand kind of thing and I
12:30
think that yeah exactly I I think that you know young Fighters need to understand
12:37
yes that is important piece of it but more importantly it's it's winning and
12:42
you know going out there and dominating and imposing your game plan on your opponent so you get those wins so then
12:49
you get to build your brand as you go yeah no I agree it's a yeah when the
12:54
fights first and I think keton was very focused on that and that's why she put
12:59
on such a stellar performance in the first round you know then she got a little exposed in the next two but she
13:06
still was able to get the win so that'll give her something to work on for the next one and the other fight there was
13:12
another chick fight on there that I was like what's what's the judging on here
13:18
gonna be like oh Judas and Fernandez yeah how did you score that fight I can
13:24
uh I can see why they would give Fernandez the fight I wasn't mad about about it mhm it just looked like her
13:32
power was doing a lot more damage than the the high volume of Judas yeah no I I
13:40
agree like I thought it was pretty clear but then it ended up being a split decision and I'm like how did how did uh
13:47
Judas get more than one round and then I looked at it and guess who scored round
13:53
one for Jud round one Adelaide bird of girl your girl with
14:00
the bottle caps on funny we talked about this she did so well a few weeks ago I
14:06
know yeah no she did so well and that's what happens it's like with
14:13
judges I I kind of feel bad because you're never gonna talk about when a
14:18
judge does the right thing but when they [ __ ] up dude everyone's mad well it's
14:24
just like the the ring that happened last weekend I mean I don't know how many times I heard Dominic and bisbing
14:30
just throw shade about making good ref decision now that's good ring now that's good ring
14:36
like bro chill it's Dum and bisbing so that's all they know how to do oh my
14:43
God just Relentless just Relentless which fair fair but like
14:50
chill yeah he he knows he [ __ ] up he knows he he has to know he knows um yeah
14:57
just let us die just let us die well thank you for it in
15:03
your dreams when we haunt you thank you for not stopping the fight too
15:10
early my family hates you but I'm appreciative
15:16
but um yeah that uh what are you talking about [ __ ] J Judas Judas vers
15:23
Fernandez um I thought it was a really clear first round Fernandez pieced her
15:30
up and like when I saw the um the significant strikes thing I was
15:35
surprised that Judas had more significant strikes landed in the first
15:41
because Fernandez's strikes were so impactful there they were like [ __ ]
15:46
her up throwing her head left and right like she was running for her life and
15:52
still in the fight like it it was a really competitive fight but I thought the first round was super clear and um
15:59
comes to my other gripe with stats the significant strike stat what is
16:04
considered a significant strike cuz obviously if it lands
16:09
clean if it if it has some sort of impact in the other Fighters demeanor I
16:15
guess I don't that's like that's more of a a PO shot to me yeah I don't like it's
16:21
like it's such a arbitrary way to judge a strike and if you're going to compare
16:28
significant strikes you got to mention that Fernandez's significant strikes were a lot more
16:33
significant yes like than Judith's judas's significant strikes were significant for her but not significant
16:41
compared to what Fernandez was Hing her with because those things were really changing the vibe of the fight changing
16:48
oh they were making her go for takeown posture they were they were putting this sense of urgency to take it to the
16:54
ground and start grappling absolutely and it was smacking her head around too like it's like when you playing that
16:59
boxing game you get hit with something to be fair though and the lights shine yeah but to be fair it's also it's the
17:06
body type you have the long linky body type against the more short stocky Stout
17:11
person it's always going to look um a lot more devastating just because that person has
17:18
so much more more height and and uh ganglin well then you get a g get your
17:23
gangly ass out of the way of the punches like that has nothing to do with how signicant the strike was has nothing to
17:31
do it's like you gangly you better not get hit by that [ __ ] because she got a big old she has a big old knockout
17:37
artist booty you know like she she was coming for for uh for blood to the point
17:43
where she completely gassed out halfway through the fight so that's the only reason I was
17:49
like okay I can see why it was a split but then when I looked back at the scorecard I was like no way she lost the
17:54
first round yeah I don't think so if anything the second round was it was back back and forth but I felt like it
18:00
was pretty heavily in her favor and then the third round uh Judas did her thing
18:05
she like came back in a fight and I was really really uh amazed that she's only
18:11
three in one like that that was pretty impressive to me no she's been putting in work yeah she's a she's a gamer I
18:18
think this fight's going to make her a lot stronger and you know make her try to put on some weight
18:26
yeah it's it's hard um but I think that you know she's still I
18:32
mean three in one is is very young in the sport so I think she has plenty of time to put on the size to get um you
18:38
know her her technique more sound and then come back even stronger it's that's what you know a fight is that fight is a
18:45
feedback for us to learn and grow and you know get better for sure um yeah L
18:52
bird you suck I want I want to you know girl power with you but then you do stuff
18:58
like that yeah you did you know I'll just say you did great a few weeks ago that's all I was saying you did great go
19:05
keep keep doing what you did a few weeks ago um yeah and uh speaking of gangly
19:11
body types you had a crazy size difference with uh the flyweight H fight
19:18
that happened oh Johnson versus all alabay alv
19:25
alv I remember it cuz uh our friends thought daughter's name is Elma oh yeah
19:31
yeah I was like Elma B the fighter not the cute little
19:39
girl this this was uh they said he has the longest reach in the Flyway Division I do not know how this person makes
19:45
weight he looked like he was pulled like taffy like his two two weight classes
19:52
above he looked like it insane he's six feet tall and his legs are so skinny I
19:59
am so terrified if he ever starts throwing inside leg kicks I don't know if he threw it in the fight but if he
20:05
did I'm [ __ ] scream I his his thighs were were thick enough but the the
20:11
calves were definitely no that's what if you throw an inside leg kick the person
20:16
throwing it mhm your little skinny ankles are in so much danger like ever
20:22
since watching Anderson Silva that horrible accident that happened to him and then widman and then other people
20:29
don't do that [ __ ] like especially if you have little skinny legs and you're
20:34
fighting people who are a lot stockier than you I was nervous I was I was nervous
20:41
for his legs um yeah man get make sure you're doing your uh doing your squats
20:47
kicking your bamboo trees but uh what a I mean it looks
20:53
like a body type that would be really dominant against a much shorter fighter
21:00
but and he did put him in danger yeah he did put him in danger especially since alab bayv was a grapple heavy kind of
21:07
person and Johnson is you know just a newly minted brown belt as they said on the broadcast um the the thing is you
21:15
can you know have really strong submissions and you can put people in
21:20
really compromising positions when you have that length on someone especially someone that is you know committed to
21:26
that kind of game plan and diving into to to somebody's guard you know he locked him up at the triangle he had him
21:32
uh he had his back however the size discrepancy between those body types is
21:38
ultimately what gave him more more trouble because there's so much there's so much real estate that you have to
21:45
cover you have to be like so tight so Compact and amv's body frame was just a
21:50
little bit smaller and able to like maneuver in those positions and get out
21:56
of submissions you have to have like that much more tightness that much more torque on things to keep them in place
22:01
and get those submissions you know the the triangle looks super tight but he just had too much space because he had
22:07
so much legs yeah his knees were giving him giving his arteries like tons of space to pump blood to his head still
22:15
like there was all this space in here because his knees are just long as [ __ ] you know um it's like when when you're
22:23
working submissions on the guys like uh chokes and stuff and you're like o I got the submission down and you grapple some
22:30
little girl some little atom weight and the [ __ ] doesn't work like why doesn't this work it works on frustrating who
22:37
can imagine that something that works on big strong men would not work on this
22:42
tiny pathetic little girl yeah you just have to be able to make those those
22:47
adjustments yeah um and and you know even even a couple centimeters an inch
22:53
will give somebody the ability to be able to survive those attacks which is what we saw yeah and when punches are
23:00
involved too when there's a lot of movement and and thrashing around it's not going to be as easy to cinch
23:06
something up in in the uh in the cage as it is in the workout room like in the
23:11
grappling mats you know like it's a you you have time to think you have time to
23:17
grab the leg to cut the corner to cinch it even more and if this guy's hitting
23:22
you and wiggling out at the same time then he was just a little too fast for him to to cin up those submissions yeah
23:30
the um the thing that I heard Johnson say in the corner was no I can submit him and this is you know in the the
23:36
second and then third or it's going into the third round says the newly minted brown belt now I'm just a purple belt
23:43
but I I still feel like if your coures don't submit them like it's just it
23:50
wasn't the thing to do listen it submissions like statistically submissions happen you know primarily in
23:56
the first round when everyone isn't sweaty and slippery and then the statistic goes down incrementally in the
24:03
second round and the third round and and so on into the championship rounds this is just what happens your body gets tired you're not as fast um you're very
24:11
slippery from the sweat and you know potentially the blood so it's just something that ends up becoming less
24:17
likely not impossible not improbable but just less likely and that game plan in
24:23
the first round the second round it had not been working out for him and I love the self-belief in him I love the
24:29
commitment however being a mixed martial artist being in the fight you have to be able to make those adjustments and
24:37
understand that you know you may have to abandon some things even though you want it you want to make it happen you
24:42
believe in yourself I I you can't force it you can't and it'd be different if he was uh just talking about getting back
24:49
control but it felt like he thought that he could submit him from his back which he got close to doing but I don't think
24:57
submissions from your back should be plan a especially if you just got your
25:02
brown belt like not that that's not a huge accomplishment but the people who submissions off their black off their
25:09
back are um plan a those guys have done tons of competitions at the highest
25:15
level black belt tournaments you know one one Nationals one like worldwide
25:20
events and they're able to do that against someone who's trying to punch him in the face not always a lot of
25:27
times it doesn't happen but like I I just feel like plan a should be due the submission that
25:33
doesn't put you in trouble if it doesn't work sure and being on your back
25:39
chilling on your back trying to set up like arm bars and triangles a lot of times that's going to put you in trouble
25:46
if it doesn't work you get your guard pass you you're stuck on your back flat you're not able to scramble up and get
25:53
back to a position where you can have a huge Advantage with just striking for him because he's so long
25:58
so I think um I think the reason that I was just like that's a bad idea is cuz
26:04
when he said that he had just been stuck on his back so long and then homeboy slipped out of the triangle past his
26:11
guard and then it was just like H that sucks like I've been there that sucks he
26:16
had um somebody who had a really good wrestling base who was very fast scrambly explosive and that type of body
26:25
type being on top of you on top of some who's long and linkly that's just that's a hard that's a hard battle not saying
26:33
it's impossible but it just wasn't looking like it was going to go his way and it would have been as you were
26:39
saying a way better game plan to keep it standing use that range against somebody that you have a huge advantage on just
26:48
with you know just with the length of your arms and legs yeah it it was um it
26:53
was interesting to see that happen in self-belief I think he'll he'll keep that especially once he
26:58
keeps uh developing his game if he like continues to compete in Jiu-Jitsu and
27:04
continues to like work on that ground game like yeah he can really put together something nasty with such an
27:11
odd body type like he's he's a unique build it's kind of like uh um Jon Jones
27:18
in a sense where he was the longest linkiest person at uh at like
27:23
heavyweight and no one could deal with the [ __ ] the problems that he brought up because of his body type I think he has
27:31
ability to do that because he's so long and lanky but he still has to tighten up those holes because you know we've seen
27:37
other long linky guys not do so well it's just little adjustments for your body type and you know whoever you
27:44
compete against that you'll have to make and you know the more time that he puts in in the octagon and on the mats the
27:51
more he'll make those adjustments and figure out what works a little bit better for him but it's it's a hard fight fighting off of your back going
27:59
for submissions that put you down on the ground and then put you in a position where the judges are seeing that you're not dominant it's really hard and
28:06
uncommon for someone to win a fight just off of their back yeah and uh his last
28:11
fight was a submission so maybe that's why he was just like no I got this he fell in love with it I got to be careful
28:17
not to uh fall in love with the idea of submitting someone um you know cuz you
28:24
get that finish you're just like ooh that was nice I didn't have have to fight the whole fight like I'm I'm not
28:30
even super sweaty yet my face isn't all busted up like this is great I'd love to
28:35
do that again well it's just like what we were um what I mentioned before with Miles John's it's uh you know once you
28:42
feel that power with anything the power from a strike the power from a submission you just uh you start chasing
28:47
it and it's you know sometimes it can be to your own detriment yeah yeah so keep
28:53
your head up this is his first fight at flyweight too so maybe um maybe that made a difference in just the way that
29:00
he was able to uh uh deal with such a smaller opponent and it's a different
29:06
pace yeah it's a different pace for sure flyweight is a fast fast division yeah
29:11
it's um it's very technical because people don't necessarily have that knockout power that finishing power so
29:17
they have to be really good really in shape and just uh good everywhere you
29:22
know what I thought was funny um I'm looking at this guy in his build and how
29:28
skinny he is and I saw that post that ESPN MMA did and they were like oh my
29:34
God Alex ferea just revealed that he has to cut 22 pounds in 14 days oh my God
29:42
just like everybody else on the card in the UFC that's actually Cub
29:48
Swanson's no stop it Cub Swanson was the first comment I saw inoc said just like everyone else on
29:55
that card I was like that's nothing H that's nothing it's nothing
30:02
especially for males yeah there's straw weights that cut that much I know a few I've trained with some who 14 days out
30:10
were slightly above 140 Jesus Christ yeah that like it's not a big deal guys
30:18
it's normal and how much do you think this guy cut uh Jose Jose uh Johnson who
30:24
used to fight at bantamweight now he's fighting at flyweight that's that's a big cut for any most flyweights cut a
30:30
lot unless they should be straw weights MH you know and he's he looks tall
30:36
enough he's six foot tall so I'm looking at him I'm like there were no ESPN MMA articles about his weight
30:44
cut y'all is slacking I'm like there must be some little intern in there that
30:49
doesn't really watch no I'm serious lose weight you know they're like man losing 22 pounds
30:56
that's hard like it's not not for a fighter not for a fighter you it's not like you're you
31:02
know doing it to keep it off you're doing you know you're doing it the right way so that it all comes back on yeah
31:09
you want to be fat the next day you want to be heavy cuz that's an advantage yeah exactly you want to look like Almeida
31:15
the next day looking like a welterweight finding a featherweight oh my gosh yeah you want to be a big boy the next day so
31:23
the the less you have to cut before you actually cut the better as long as you
31:29
could do it in a healthy way so for all you casuals who don't know yes it's normal for small people to cut 22 pounds
31:37
14 days out um for big people they usually cut more yeah they usually cut a
31:43
lot more heavy weighs usually cut a ton or maybe not usually don't have to cut
31:48
20 to 30 yeah yeah I think light heavyweights probably cut the most because there's such a huge gap between
31:54
heavyweight and light heavy so you either like fighting with a 30 lb disadvantage or you cut 30 lbs to make
32:01
205 so it's it's pretty normal ESPN do you need a I mean we we got time
32:09
we can write your articles for you no because this isn't the only one and I'm not I'm not trying to throw a shade but
32:15
it's not the only one that I'm just kind of like why'd you pick that to talk about do you guys even watch
32:20
MMA I wonder I think that it's probably the same people from like regular ESPN
32:26
yeah probably that are doing the ears pin MMA the social part I know I know
32:32
there's uh people who know what they're doing doing like the actual articles like
32:37
actual news articles that no one clicks on they just read the unless there's
32:42
click baity stuff to talk about well it's like they read the clickbait and then they react to the clickbait they
32:47
don't even click on it the bait isn't doing that it's comment bait more than anything yeah so but that gets to to
32:54
circulate more so it's doing what it's supposed to do yeah yeah yeah we need to work on our clickbaits I think we do
33:02
noted uh we said some testy things right all
33:08
the time all the time yeah so um I can't think of
33:15
anything we said this one yeah uh that was a pretty crazy uh weight
33:22
difference and oh one one other thing I liked about the about the matchup which
33:29
uh Johnson should have been aware of what was going to happen was um amv's
33:34
cool hat well he didn't see it beforehand he saw it at the weigh-ins oh yeah he he
33:42
wore the cool hat at the weigh-ins well it's it's kind of he's kind of deceptive he doesn't look like you're
33:47
stereotypical traditional of K hat guy yeah I'm a bu EV that's what threw him
33:53
off it's like oh you could be like a bunch of different things exactly yeah I think that's why he wasn't prepared for
34:00
it he wasn't ready but he did see the hat but then it's a little too late like you go to way you see the Hat you're
34:05
like [ __ ] I should have prepared for this fight differently he's gonna Crush all my
34:11
submission attempts um which made me feel like I should have a cool hat of my
34:18
own what would your hat look like well I'm glad you asked do you remember um in the '90s
34:26
when it was really big to wear like the kin cloth like all the rappers were wearing them and like the squared
34:34
rounded one yeah that square hat now people do like use them as memes like
34:39
whenever you're super like Pro black to the point where it's ridiculous or you
34:44
see it in like don't drink juice in the hood that movie where the guy's like you know all pro black but then he's like
34:51
walking around with white girls and he's a walk in contradiction yeah
34:57
exactly exactly so I feel like that that could be cool I could um get my little kofy my little K kofy out and they
35:05
wouldn't be able to tell me I can't wear it because it's
35:10
cultural and this is signifying is my culture oh okay that's
35:16
it oh okay proud black American from the African
35:22
diaspora I'm very much into old school hip hop that's the best kind of hip-hop in
35:28
my opinion it is that's noise they're making these days I just can't the Mumble W they would never they would
35:34
never wear synthesization synthesize synthesization yeah make up a word you
35:40
did you did but we knew what you were talking about Sy synthesized
35:45
voices vocalized synthesize and um you know people always say that I'm a race
35:51
Bader and that I hate white people so do they say that yeah even even with me or
35:57
am I just your beard I don't think yeah you're not you're not fooling anyone I don't
36:02
count what do you mean by that I don't know she could be an
36:08
of no that black hair stop it you could be an OV
36:14
um you also don't have a mustache big big uh you know tell right there but
36:22
yeah uh you know with with you with my white husband people still think that I'm a racist SP so I might as well just
36:29
lean into it and you know wear the K walk out with that just be like hey I
36:36
got a cool hat too and I'm a wrestler now so I feel like it would match the cool hat Trend oh everyone with a cool
36:42
hat is a good wrestler it doesn't matter what country you're representing all the cool hat people are good wrestlers so I
36:49
think it's time that I whip out my cool hat from my ancestry I wish my
36:54
ancestries had cool hats you don't have a cool hat no wow what aren't you like Italian SL French or some [ __ ] German
37:03
German you guys have cool hats that you can't wear no we
37:08
don't he can't wear it ain't nothing cool about him can't wear it on
37:14
YouTube not cool um I'm sure I have other stuff you know not cool head definitely not a cool
37:22
hat just a ethnic hat the hats we don't talk about ANC
37:30
you can't change history that's we'd like to forget about yes well Italians they
37:38
well why people had tempers a man you just wear like a like a olive branch or
37:48
something got olives in Italy I mean I always got a bottle of wine with me so there you go yeah that could be your
37:53
cool hat you could get one of those like uh hats with the bottles on the side it
37:59
could be two tiny bottles of wine with a straw in it I'll think about it oh we got cool
38:05
hats we're gonna have them for the next episode we got cool hats coming guys tune in oh man what other fights
38:14
have we not talked about yet since we got called out for not talking about all the fights we should talk about all the
38:21
fights I mean we mentioned fugg it fug but we didn't actually like break down
38:27
his and then there was flick and Manis there no we talked about like all of them oh
38:32
Costa and ninic oh what' you think about that one
38:39
you know what I loved his um a lot of people did this uh this uh inside no
38:45
outside single takedown and I really liked it I'm going to try it I'm probably to get my back taken but it's
38:51
fine it's fine yeah but I loved um so Alma Bay off
38:59
Nur nuran nuran Beck and I think one other person um did these outside single
39:06
takedowns and they were Landing them every single time and it was really fun to watch it was like I said I really enjoyed this card because I got like
39:12
lots of little like nuggets of techniques and information uh that I really enjoyed and I want to kind of
39:19
play with yeah I think I know which one you're talking about um it was Alma yeah
39:24
it was Alma Bay up the one that I was thinking about I actually recorded he he had like a nice um uh catch off of the
39:31
te and then went to the pull across yeah yeah H like a real nasty like knee bump
39:38
takedown and poor uh poor Johnson's little long legs went flying like long
39:45
legs and arms W it was really cool to watch and it and it looked really impressive against that body type too
39:51
yeah but uh nerm backck it was he was the second fight on the card and he fought uh Costa and was another one of
39:58
those short stature versus very long and linky Costa actually ended up getting the submission uh later in the fight I
40:04
think it was in the third round but it was because his opponent like ended up gassing out this guy was all power all
40:11
strength but like he also mixed in a lot of beautiful technique he had this beautiful uh body lock while Costa was
40:18
tripod and he like tripped one the legs I was like I'm going to yeah I recorded that too I loved it I was like I'm G to
40:24
play with that too no it was really nice you know we should we really need to start doing technique videos like just
40:29
take like a clip from from the fights and just be like look at this [ __ ] let's try it out you it's cool as [ __ ] yeah no
40:36
it was really nice because uh we have our own like series of attacks from there but that's a nice one where you
40:42
just they they're doing weird stuff of his leg like I think he was trying to step over the leg that we usually use to
40:48
trap and hop on the back so he like used that step over to get underneath and
40:54
trip the further leg and it was just like oo that was that was tricky I didn't see that coming oh and then
41:00
actually you just reminded me there was um Johnson had a really nice stepover as
41:06
Alma bav was coming in and he just stepped over revers the take down it was so beautiful and it's was one of those
41:11
like long linky kind of moves like fun things yeah that's the
41:16
stuff where I'm like okay yeah you can submit them if that happens you know if you get a nice reversal you just catch
41:23
them and mount you're on top of them like go for it like settle stay big like
41:29
take what's given to you but don't try to force something off your back so I felt like yeah he was he was probably
41:34
just summon up in general I feel like I'm out grappling him I feel like there's an opening for for a submission
41:41
but yeah he just wasn't able to get or stay in those good positions long enough
41:46
and that's like a huge part of you know fighting someone who's small and is good
41:54
at balling up and rolling and reversing things like it's really hard to just flatten them out and keep them there you
42:01
know it's almost easier to do it against someone who's bigger than you just because they have more stuff to mess
42:07
with when someone's all tight and in a ball is just horrible it's like I used to call a Paulina balina our little Adam
42:14
weight friend because she would get so good if you get her in a bad position she just Turtle everything up and no
42:22
control there's no like there's just no space for things yeah you're just on top of that is that that drill where you
42:28
have the inflated ball and you're just like riding it and trying not to fall off of it so um yeah that's a huge part
42:35
of grappling someone who's a lot tinier than you more compact you got to be able to still be able to flatten them out and
42:42
yeah I feel I forget that that happened he he was in some good positions but amab was just so good at just yeah he
42:49
was just non-stop yeah whereas the um ner how do you say it I'm so sorry
42:55
wrote it sounded like Wolverine well that was his nickname oh yeah that was
43:00
his nickname so ner and Beck he he was doing all the right things it's just he
43:07
ended up kind of gassing himself out if he had more of a gas tank the the Casta submission wouldn't have happened yeah
43:13
but you know Costa was resilient patient um I mean he was doing good things he
43:19
wasn't getting you know beat every single place in the fight but neren Beck was definitely winning up until the
43:24
point where Kosta got his back he capitalize on that on that moment where he started fatiguing and wasn't didn't
43:30
have the same power output couldn't keep you know doing the same things that he was doing yeah that one could have been
43:36
fight a night too just because of all the back and forth yeah I don't know why I think because it was mostly a
43:42
grappling match maybe that's why they didn't they weren't as excited about it but there was a lot of back and forth
43:48
and I was freaking out when um uh Wolverine uh nerd and Meck he he almost
43:56
knee bar barred him yes like he had him in this long his leg was so long and
44:01
stretched out and thingy just looked so calm and collected that I'm like okay maybe it's not close but it definitely
44:08
looks close from from my position I yeah I feel like there was some definite tension but again he did the right thing
44:16
yeah high level Grappler he did the right thing he turned his foot just like when you have you know an arm bar you
44:22
you don't want thumbs up you want to start turning it turning it turning it and just it alleviates enough torque to
44:29
let you get out of the position create a scramble and then you know get out yeah no it was interesting it was it was a
44:34
good fight and I like how they were talking about um when he had the arm isolated I think this is the same fight
44:40
he had the arm isolated uh Costa did and nerm Beck just kind of curled himself
44:47
back so I I need to comment on that because it wasn't a tight kamora he locked he he went to the kamur position
44:55
but he wasn't isolated in the shoulder he wasn't you know chest to chest he didn't have like a good bite on it it
45:02
felt like his hips weren't in the right place too in order to like really get off balance no he it wasn't I I didn't
45:09
see him being in no I'm sorry you guys need to go back to jiujitsu class I'm taking a stripe
45:16
away for that comment no I'm sorry it wasn't close that that was never that was never going to be the position what
45:22
he should have done was you know used used his hips to either bring him back over like face plant to the mat or bump him
45:30
back so that he could have stood up or you know sweeped to mount there's you know I I love a camora grip I love that
45:36
grip you can you know hold on to somebody and go anywhere as long as you have that grip it's one of those ones
45:41
that you just don't abandon yeah but he didn't have the right bite on it his his
45:46
body was not in Prime position to capitalize on it sorry he was you heard it here it was
45:53
relax it was nothing uh I started getting into the Habit where I'm like ah
45:58
it's deep and then they get out and I'm like oh and then and then I'll go ah I don't think they have that and then they
46:05
tap it's mostly with rear nakeds though like usually when I see a rear naked
46:10
it's like either the person putting it on doesn't do the thing that I think
46:15
they need to do in order to finish it or the person is just really good at
46:20
fighting the hands because a lot of times someone will put that rear naked on and they don't even try like they don't even reach for and try to stop it
46:28
from happening the threat is not happening yeah and then they get it mhm and then they get it so it's kind of a
46:34
funny one it's like it it's still one of the hardest submissions I think to get in MMA right now because everyone has
46:42
it's easy to defend with the gloves it's easy to defend but also everyone's seen it you know everyone's seen it a million
46:48
times it's not as sneaky as soon as someone gets to your back you're like all right I know what you're going to try to do you know and then they try it
46:56
and some people just real good at catching the neck at the right moment and other people uh they get stuck there
47:02
all around we even seen people lose rounds on someone's back hunting for submissions because they're getting
47:07
punch in the face while they're doing it so yeah it's one of those tough ones but yeah a lot of times I'll catch myself
47:14
being the the bad commentator going I don't think that's gonna work oh oh okay never mind you got
47:21
it oops Yeah it was cool that's what that one fight was like uh the one where the
47:26
guy f po down I was like ah it's probably not going to work again and then T right over the chin that one
47:34
sucks by the way that's a horrible one to have to tap to because it's like you don't want to but also you don't want
47:40
your jaw to break yeah if you go out before your jaw breaks you might wake up with a broken
47:47
jaw like that would really suck it would suck to wake up to that for sure ow what
47:53
happened um well like some other stuff happened last week I uh went to pfl yeah
47:59
I got to see that firsthand again and uh it was interesting it was interesting the
48:05
fights are good um uh our girl Jenna Bishop she fought uh Talia Santos in a
48:12
fight a lot of people cting her out and and it was a really close fight like the first round was pretty one-sided then
48:19
the second round she started Landing started getting some momentum going but it's like that one takedown happened and
48:26
the second and I feel like if that didn't happen she could have won the fight she went into the third round um was able to get
48:33
on top and the end threaten that submission it was a good fight and she was landing on her feet too so I felt
48:40
like that was another one of those um tough fights it probably happened sooner
48:46
than it should have you know she was only um seven and0 at the time and then Talia has had a ton of experience fought
48:52
for the title uh a couple five round fights in the UFC um but at the same time she showed up uh
48:59
she showed out she was able to land on her um so I was really impressed with her mhm yeah it was a good fight it was
49:06
a good learning experience those are you know the fights that they're they suck it sucks losing
49:13
however I think there's a lot of good feedback and a lot of good takeaways and learning um learning moments in those
49:19
kind of fights and Talia is no slouch you know she's fought for she's fought for the title she you know arguably beat
49:27
chevchenko yo people got uh a little testy when I did my little post and I
49:33
was like yeah this is a great fight she went toe-to-toe with uh the people's 125
49:39
pound champ and people like don't talk about Chef CH go that way oh like this
49:45
is supposed about Jenna but what's wrong with you guys people
49:52
will will make it what they want to make it they'll be offended about whatever they want be offended about let me B up
49:58
my girl come on just let me B her up um but yeah uh Talia Santos she's
50:04
definitely one of the ones everyone's looking at to win the entire thing unless you listen to the propaganda that
50:12
the pfl is putting out then you'll think that uh uh the British girl is Dakota
50:20
yes it's it's interesting because I I haven't necessarily seen that kind of
50:26
motion on a big stage it's normally like the local circuits the you know the a
50:33
little bit I don't want to say like lower level but like the um what's it called Regional
50:40
Regional thank you the hometown kid is going up against someone they brought in
50:46
to lose and they're like yeah this guy's gonna win and usually that happens that
50:51
way so I'm still trying to understand the brackets how the brackets are made and somebody maybe said that because
50:58
it's regular season it's not the playoffs that that's how this sort of thing is happening is that true I
51:05
thought it was playoffs it it's it's so four four fights the first two fights
51:11
give you points and then whoever has the most points after those first two rounds of fights gets to fight um the four
51:20
people with the most points gets to fight in the tournament okay so that's how they game
51:25
it for whoever they one on top so uh Dakota she was able to fight the person
51:32
that Jenna beat in the first round yeah I Jenna got six points off of that
51:38
Dakota beat uh Malden I think uh and she got six points off of that and then
51:43
Talia beat uh the girl that Jenna beat in um B I forget her name but they all
51:51
got six points I think Liz won her fight so she got three points I believe or
51:57
four points and um yeah if you get a finish in the first round you get the most points so instead of making them
52:04
all fight the people who lost in the first round or making them all fight
52:09
people who won in the first round they let one person fight someone who lost that's the girl that they're setting up
52:15
to win yeah they made Jenna fight Talia Santos who was the other person who got the first round finish which should have
52:22
been on the main card too if you're going to make that happen right now and then they had Liz fight another girl
52:29
that she uh fought before but who also won so it was very stacked for uh Dakota
52:38
who was the only person who had to fight someone coming off of a loss yeah that
52:43
that just doesn't make sense to me like in in any world that you would have you
52:48
want the the best of the best to Showcase and and ultimately you know meet at this you know climactic point
52:55
you want to to show like this impressive body of work to get to where you want them to be
53:01
and yet you're having this person fight people who who
53:06
have lost it just doesn't it doesn't make sense to me it just shows clear bias to me yeah it does but at the same
53:13
time they're catering to these people who just want to see a knockout people
53:19
don't want to see a highly contested fight they don't want to see a back and forth match they want to see someone get
53:24
brutally knocked out and when they keep serving up uh these inexperienced girls
53:31
or these girls who have already lost to the Dakota chick then they're building
53:37
that hype train and they don't care that the people paying attention are annoyed by it they're only caring about getting
53:45
either new people in the seat or pushing this this girl up into the point where she actually does have have to perform
53:52
against the highest the highest people see to me that kind of buildup IS is a
53:58
bit um I don't want to say dangerous but a bit irresponsible because you're
54:04
you're hyping somebody up you're building somebody up to this point where they they may not be able to deliver and they could actually get hurt because
54:10
they don't have that kind of battle tested fight experience and I get it she's a professional she has you know
54:17
she has a lot of wins and she has the you know striking kickboxing experience outside of MMA I understand that I'm not
54:23
saying she can't handle herself but it's just it it's I feel like it's a bit unfair to
54:30
do that to someone and to put them up into a position where you know they could
54:35
potentially not do well yeah or have the skills to compete at that level yeah but
54:41
at the same time um we were talking about earlier how it can be detrimental
54:47
to be on the opposite side of that hype train too you're fighting someone who has a ton of hype uh they have all the
54:53
promotional push it can make the chip on your shoulder bigger and it can get in
54:59
the way of Performing to the best of your ability so that's going to be a big challenge for uh Jenna because that's
55:04
who she's fighting next and it's like I that would have been the fight I would have made in the second round anyway
55:12
yeah I feel like highlevel Grappler versus highlevel Striker who is still who were still getting their feet wet
55:18
with the other parts of MMA I felt like that would have been more of a fair matchup for the second round but now
55:24
it's going to happen so it's like all right they can they the the first part
55:29
of the tournament which wasn't the tournament was weird and you're
55:34
obviously setting someone up to perform but now it's it's kind
55:40
of like okay I guess that doesn't matter because now they're gonna fight Santos
55:46
and Liz are gonna fight on the other side and the winners of those two fight are going fight each other mhm so yeah
55:53
it'll be um it'll be a good test for both of them this matchup coming up uh
55:59
if Jenna can get her down um I think it's pretty Cut and Clear what's going to happen if she can't you know the
56:06
girls she is a good Striker like she she is great at keeping range she is yeah she's a sniper she's she's really strong
56:13
on the feat and um she knows what she's doing like she's she's picking her shot she's like setting traps she's doing a
56:20
good job of like just being a really devastating Striker but at the same time she hasn't fought someone with the EXP
56:26
experience who who can grit through getting a hard shot to the body who can eat a knee and still get a huge double
56:33
Leg Takedown off of that knee that you threw you know so there's going to be a lot of uh a lot of just seeing where
56:41
both girls are add in this one and I think on the other side with uh Santos and Liz it really just matters who shows
56:48
up because Liz had like a really gutsy performance um where she would come out
56:54
strong and this [ __ ] [ __ ] lose it halfway through the round and she was on
57:00
her way to losing that fight against um uh wanabi and got that arm bar in the
57:06
last 10 seconds man it it was really impressive uh Wabi what is that well I
57:14
gotta look it up I think it's a but Kana kanaco Kaa she made one tab she made Liz look
57:23
human and I know how super human strong Liz isz want tab be the champion yes she does she want T be on
57:30
[Laughter] top sorry good I lost all track of was
57:40
like yes that's out of me I
57:45
just I feel like there was a different emphasis when one Nai that might be it w
57:51
Nai look at her Wikipedia
57:57
no they don't have the fonetic on here it's fine yeah I'mma call her wanabi
58:04
because she want tab be champion of PFO she want tab Be A
58:09
Millionaire one yeah but yeah what is she what was she doing I I thought it was really impressive that she made Liz
58:16
look human because normally to me Liz looks super human she has super strength she's so powerful and uh imposing and I
58:24
thought that it just spoke to the level of this tournament so it really does make me excited to see you know who ends up in in the finals and facing each
58:32
other well uh velas kind of did that too um but she Liz ended up getting the win over her too but she was another one
58:39
where there were a lot of moments where I'm like o Liz might lose this and then she would like pop back on top or do
58:46
something to reverse it again um but yeah I think I think uh there's going to
58:51
have to be a lot of sharing up with technique with uh Talia Santos because one thing she proves is that she knows
58:57
how to win a fight like she knows how to do what she needs to do stay out of
59:02
Harm's Way like uh that Tak down the first round against Jenna she was able
59:08
to stay really safe on top she didn't like expose anything she just chilled in guard and like drained out the clock and
59:14
that is a dangerous guard to be in it sucks and she was not flinching about it no no she took her time she had she had
59:21
great position with her arms with her hips everything was just very un it was very impressive and it's a little less
59:28
dangerous when you can't throw elbows because I think that's that's like one of the things that um would probably
59:35
change a lot of pfl fights if you were able to throw elbows especially in a position like that where someone is
59:42
stuck like you get on top of them you're stuck you can't throw elbows Jenna got on Mount with her she was stuck she
59:49
can't throw elbows like it it really can change the the momentum of a fight getting a big cut like that being able
59:56
slice someone open but you know you can only get so much power on the punches especially from guard and uh yeah I
1:00:03
think I think if anything um she just did a good job of doing what she needed to do to win the round as opposed to
1:00:10
like really put herself in danger and take an unnecessary risk and I think that's GNA be huge uh when she fights
1:00:18
Liz because Liz is all about taking advantage of your mistakes and Santos doesn't really make that
1:00:24
many it's going to be inter very exciting very interesting still mad at
1:00:29
the matchmaking but I'll be watching I guess I guess I'll be
1:00:35
watching there's a crazy of almost a double KO that happened at the I
1:00:41
couldn't believe that nut shot knockout oh my God it was a knockout that
1:00:47
happened as someone was getting nutshot so who was it again um Tim something two
1:00:54
heavyweights Tim Johnson um yeah Johnson was fighting uh the
1:01:03
Brazilian and thingy threw a kick right up the middle and Johnson threw it
1:01:09
overhand at the same time and both connected and both went down both went
1:01:16
down too like a sack of potatoes it was funny cuz I was just taking a photo to show uh show like uh Brian our manager
1:01:24
where our seats were Mar and oh go back Marquez and Johnson yeah
1:01:30
I was taking a photo to show where our seats is I'm like yeah he has a pretty good seats and I hit click and the live
1:01:35
photo captured that moment beautiful of the H it was perfect I want to like get
1:01:42
a what do you call it like a what are those stupid uh digital art things that
1:01:48
you can do that or total total waste of money what are those things called um
1:01:54
not a gif a yeah is the like the crypto thing or some [ __ ] I know what you're
1:01:59
talking about yeah I wanted to like make that one of those and sell it and and
1:02:04
I as a work of art and I something nft
1:02:09
yes yes what you got there I thought you were saying and I and I'm like n n i nft
1:02:17
yes I want to make an nft of that we can sell it on the two STW store yeah but it was it was a pretty
1:02:24
exciting uh you know um fight card but I always think about all the fighters that
1:02:31
are just so pissed off with the pfl right now like people are leaving people are getting resigned for less money than
1:02:37
their original contracts like there's a lot of uh I don't want to say
1:02:43
hopelessness but a lot of people waiting to fight right now who thought they would have fought already this year Well
1:02:49
if you look at you know the UFC and their roster which is huge they don't have enough fights and they fight
1:02:55
literally pretty much every weekend except for maybe like five weekends in a year and you look at the roster versus
1:03:02
the number of events if they don't even have enough space for those and you look at pfl and they just took on a whole
1:03:09
another roster in the Bellator Fighters it's it's hard I don't know I again I
1:03:15
and no disrespect but I feel like they had this Grand idea but not necessarily how they were going to execute it and so
1:03:20
I think they're figuring things out as they go along and they're not necessarily sharing it with with the public I'd love
1:03:27
to you have that uh Don Davis guy going slaps Hood a car you see this be it's
1:03:33
gonna put every fighter and bellad to work three times a year and everyone's like all right sure sure but tell me how
1:03:43
can you explain it can you like just sign everyone's fight contract so they
1:03:49
can get to work um yeah so that's rough but hopefully they figure it out first
1:03:54
year obviously is going to be rough for most people dealing with the merger and
1:04:00
dealing with like weird contracts and stuff but hopefully they figure out because you know the UFC needs
1:04:05
competition we we need someone to to um agitate to make it so that there isn't
1:04:13
just one show in the world you don't want a monopoly you want someone who is trying to get better every year so that
1:04:19
they attract the best athletes over and over again and they also make it better
1:04:26
for the athletes who are in the organization so I get a little bit frustrated when people come out and say
1:04:32
like oh I'm going to be bigger and better than the UFC listen they they have their spot I think there's enough
1:04:37
room for for everyone though I think there's enough room for other organizations to do their own thing and do it really well
1:04:44
[Laughter] and what I do like about pfl is they're
1:04:50
trying something new and different they're trying to you know make their own League they're trying to relay it
1:04:56
more to the NFL or Major League Baseball or you know just making it different
1:05:02
yeah which I can appreciate and respect that um they're not going you know head-to-head with the UFC and trying to
1:05:08
say like oh we're better but we're just our own entity and we're different and I think I like that a little bit more it
1:05:13
makes me more uh willing and and enticing to go view it yeah yeah for
1:05:20
sure um and speaking of um what do you
1:05:25
call it speaking of uh guys not competing with the UFC but being around
1:05:30
Invicta is back finally on CBS Sports on CBS Sports nowat this is awesome this is
1:05:38
that's uh the promotion that I got my feet wet in after I got cut from the UFC as started in the UFC like a dummy and
1:05:45
then got cut and went to inv Victa and won the belt Jessica also won the belt in Victa at Adam way and first ever
1:05:53
first ad ever Adam we champ um um so yeah that place holds a special uh place
1:05:59
in our hearts and when they hadn't put on any shows in a while I was a little worried especially because our girls
1:06:05
team like a lot of those girls were in need of fights U I was kind of keeping
1:06:11
my eye on Invicta but also noticing that they hadn't put on anything in a while
1:06:16
um and I could kind of tell that they were selling themselves to someone because of all the posts like the their
1:06:23
social media was being very active a lot of finishes things to get people excited
1:06:28
about uh Invicta so um yeah I'm excited for them I'm excited to see what this
1:06:34
new uh this new um network is going to do for them hopefully allow them to put
1:06:41
on more fights to put on more uh fight cards and it's definitely a good uh
1:06:48
proven ground for females because invied attracts good Fighters you know you you
1:06:55
can't really go in there with with one skill set and Destroy everyone like they have a lot of
1:07:02
fair matchmaking with with that promotion and I think um anyone who gets that experience is going to come into
1:07:08
the UFC or whatever show they end up doing on the bigger scale and really have um the capacity to do well and not
1:07:16
get like scared by the bright lights I think it's a great proving round uh
1:07:22
Proving Ground for women probably probably are arguably the best uh what I
1:07:27
love about Invicta and what made me so excited when you know I I met the the
1:07:33
previous owners and and met with Shannon before you know before everything came
1:07:39
into fruition was I had been fighting on these you know lower Regional shows and
1:07:47
felt like I was I don't know not really um taken seriously taken seriously yes
1:07:54
and no exactly we were kind of like we were kind of a novelty you know
1:08:00
like you know you put one women's fight on a card and then you know you call it a day and you know it gives people just
1:08:07
something different to to look at and fight to go to the bathroom during or
1:08:12
sure to you kick her in the dick exactly and so when Invicta came around and they
1:08:18
just um they had this this great mission statement and this great platform for
1:08:23
women and what they did with it I thought was so impressive and it was exactly what women in the sport needed
1:08:29
what we deserved and I love that Invicta and Shannon nap are just um continuing
1:08:34
to to build and grow the the women's um divisions in MMA I think it's it's a
1:08:40
wonderful organization I'm happy to see that they have staying power yeah it's like um you know a lot of people talk
1:08:46
about what cage warriors did for like the uh the British scene or the UK scene
1:08:52
and Europe scene and stuff and I didn't really know because cuz Kor you know
1:08:57
wasn't over here but I always felt that same way about Invicta like they did so
1:09:03
much for the WMA scene um legitimized it made it so you guys aren't fighting um
1:09:10
and random weight classes fighting in bars like it made it an actual sport
1:09:16
like a thing to look up to and I remember applying for tough and thinking well they got all these girls in a
1:09:22
Victor there's no way that I'm going to get in but it kind of made it feel made WMA feel bigger than what it was at the
1:09:29
time and that created like a domino effect where it actually became bigger
1:09:34
because of the existence of Invicta and I think it was also the the belief that
1:09:41
these you know this organization had in the sport whereas before people had tried my first fight was with hook and
1:09:47
shoot with uh run by Jeff Osborne who had a big belief in women's MMA and did his best to put us on you know a grander
1:09:54
stage and showcase us it just I don't think the general public was ready for it yeah and then we had fatal fem which
1:10:01
I fought for them their for show and I fought you know again for them a couple times but I just don't it either wasn't
1:10:09
the time or I don't think the people just had the right energy about it it
1:10:14
just wasn't sustainable um I think they went about it not necessarily the right way and I
1:10:20
think Invicta really did it right and it's given us you know an amazing place to to grow and um and you know just
1:10:29
become the best fighters we can be I I like I love it I'm so excited for them yeah me too I can't wait to see the next
1:10:35
show it's going to be competing with International fight week it's not on the same day I don't think no way but June
1:10:41
28th is their next show when is 303 July no no it's it's coming up is it
1:10:49
it's like two weeks what what day is it
1:10:57

1:11:24
hopefully it'll be a lot more fun to watch about all the Connor lookalikes in
1:11:31
the crowd and stuff man I it must no leprechaun dude it must be so hard if you're like a Connor cosplayer and you
1:11:39
had your whole year planned around this event and now what are you gonna do you
1:11:44
can't show up dressed like Connor now he's not you think they're still gonna show up or do you think they wanted to refund I wonder how many refunds
1:11:51
happened well you can't get a refund on that suit they probably got the tattoo like actually on their body they
1:11:58
probably committed fully committed to the Connor cosplay and now it's all for
1:12:07
nothing they'll be Halloween I know they they should do a Conor
1:12:14
con I think it would f up Connor con it would just be a con just be another thing that he
