1:00

April 7th. Damn, it's

1:03

April already, dude. It's

1:06

getting toasty out here,

1:08

too. I love it.

1:10

I love the hot

1:12

weather. Love it. Baseball

1:14

weather. Dodgers are popping,

1:16

even though they've lost

1:19

two out of three

1:21

to the Phillies. Bryce

1:23

Harper fan here, so

1:26

not all terrible. Wreckball

1:28

is we'll never do it again. We'll never

1:30

do it again. Just gonna stick

1:32

with travel moving forward, especially when

1:35

we get to Texas, probably

1:37

all travel out there. Rockball is

1:39

tough. We got a game tonight. Got a

1:41

game tonight. Tigers versus the Rangers.

1:44

And I have no expectations. That's how

1:46

you gotta do it as a dad. I

1:48

heard someone say this for all your

1:50

dads out there, kids are playing

1:52

sports, especially baseball. For the reason

1:55

the baseball dad. is a particular type

1:57

of dad that criticized their son.

1:59

Knowing damn well they couldn't hit

2:01

the ball that that nine-year-old's throwing

2:03

there's no way But yet they

2:05

have all the answers and they

2:08

probably quit playing baseball in high

2:10

school For those dads out there

2:12

if you want your kid to

2:14

quit playing baseball Do this and

2:16

if you want to quit playing

2:18

video games So if you want

2:21

your kid playing less video games

2:23

criticize him while he's playing video

2:25

games like you criticize him playing

2:27

baseball so whether he's playing fortnight

2:29

or rivals or the MLB show

2:31

or Madden, sit over his shoulder

2:34

and you know, no, you should

2:36

hit X. No, what are you

2:38

doing? You should go here. No,

2:40

you hit X faster. Oh, come

2:42

on, dude. L1. Do that. Criticize

2:44

your son when he's playing video

2:47

games if you want him to

2:49

quit. Do the exact same thing

2:51

you do when you're sitting in

2:53

the bleachers and your kids playing

2:55

baseball. He knows he's made a

2:57

mistake and you embarrassed him. Do

3:00

the exact same thing when he's

3:02

playing video games and he will

3:04

stop playing video games. Because if

3:06

you're going to do that when

3:08

they're playing baseball, they're going to

3:10

stop playing baseball. Little words of

3:13

wisdom there for you. Just go

3:15

ahead and criticize kid always playing

3:17

video games and hell shut that

3:19

shit down. So if you want

3:21

to play baseball, shut your yapper

3:23

stuff to do. I get it.

3:26

I get it. Boy do I

3:28

get it. Do you want two

3:30

for four? I get it. I

3:32

definitely get it. As far as

3:34

the fight world goes, you had

3:36

another bullshit Apex card. Terrible Apex

3:38

card. None of that matters. They've

3:41

just been edging us to this

3:43

UFC 314 in Miami and it

3:45

is a tasty one. It's so

3:47

funny how far... We've come now

3:49

in 2025 where this is like

3:51

a big, this card's a big

3:54

deal. Where this was, this was

3:56

the run-of-the-mill paper view back in

3:58

the day. This would be like,

4:00

yeah, that's on. All right, now

4:02

we're like, oh my God, look

4:04

what they're giving us. You know,

4:07

it's like your wife never makes

4:09

dinner, and she makes some shitty

4:11

dinner once, like, oh, she's the

4:13

best ever when you were dating,

4:15

she's making dinner every night. Now

4:17

one dinner, like, oh my God,

4:20

when that used to be the

4:22

standard, this pay-per-view, you don't get

4:24

me wrong, it's good. But compared

4:26

to back in the day? It's

4:28

just, you know, you know, this

4:30

new fan base new fan base,

4:33

like, like, like, you're so good,

4:35

you're so good. You kids don't,

4:37

man, you miss the come up.

4:39

You miss the glory days. I

4:41

love this card. I absolutely love

4:43

this card. It's great. It's great.

4:46

There's so many stories, narratives. You

4:48

got some old heads that are

4:50

fighting literally for their entire livelihood.

4:52

And then you got the young

4:54

crop coming up. You got the

4:56

young crop there. And if they

4:59

get these wins, they're the next.

5:01

They're the next in line. That's

5:03

how it is. God you just

5:05

look at this the stories are

5:07

all the same Patricia pit bull

5:09

had a phenomenal career in Bellator.

5:12

We've been waiting for him to

5:14

come to the U.C. He's not

5:16

young. He has All the miles

5:18

on him and they give him

5:20

a Yaya Rodriguez enjoy that enjoy

5:22

that enjoy that the Bryce Mitchell

5:24

Silva fight This one's interesting right

5:27

because obviously Bryce Mitchell has been

5:29

in the headline for the wrong

5:31

reasons lately and Anybody who knows

5:33

Bryce knows he's actually a good

5:35

person, but obviously has some insane

5:37

beliefs and is stared in the

5:40

wrong direction That's whatever But the

5:42

dude can fight say what you

5:44

want about him. I know this

5:46

whole Hitler stuff and all that

5:48

bullshit and flat earth and The

5:50

devil, you know, he thinks Sil

5:53

was the devil and he's having

5:55

these horrible dreams and they're trying

5:57

to tempt them. It's a bunch

5:59

of malarkey. It's some crazy shit

6:01

and hasn't been sleeping. That's a

6:03

whole other. we should get into.

6:06

But at the end of the

6:08

day, take all that out. If

6:10

this is just black and white,

6:12

A fighter versus B fighter, blue

6:14

corner, Bruce Mitchell can straight up

6:16

fight, dude. Straight up. Bryce can

6:19

fight, right up. Bryce can fight.

6:21

Bryce can fight. I know this

6:23

has been, this is like a

6:25

disciplined fight. Not to use fight

6:27

for silver, man. Can you go

6:29

out there and throw a flying

6:32

knee and starch him? He's explosive,

6:34

yes. Bryce is fucking crap on

6:36

his trouble, dude. So for those

6:38

you who are tuning into this

6:40

car, because you want to see

6:42

the anti-Semitic Bryce Mitchell, the pro-Hittler,

6:45

Bryce Mitchell, get his ass, well,

6:47

you might leave pretty sad. And

6:49

for those you that know Bryce,

6:51

you're not familiar with his career,

6:53

the dude can fight. What's alarming

6:55

about this, though, is when he

6:58

says he hasn't been sleeping, right?

7:00

And he has been sleeping, right?

7:02

And he has been sleeping, right.

7:04

So hopefully someone, there's no more

7:06

MMA media though. There's no actual

7:08

journalists. So it's not like you're

7:10

gonna have the Nelk boys asking

7:13

Bryce Mitchell if he's getting enough

7:15

sleep and having a good camp.

7:17

So we don't, we don't find

7:19

out that important stuff. But if

7:21

you, if anybody close to Bryce,

7:23

anybody in the MMA sphere finds

7:26

out that Bryce has not been

7:28

sleeping at all leading up to

7:30

this fight, the night before that

7:32

happens to the best of them.

7:34

Happened to me. Happened to some

7:36

of the top fighters you know,

7:39

sleep of no sleep before the

7:41

fight is okay. It's the Thursday

7:43

that's important. You do one night,

7:45

the night before the fight, if

7:47

you're sleeping like a baby, that's

7:49

weird. Your sleep should be disrupted.

7:52

It's all good. You're still going

7:54

to be able to perform. But

7:56

in camp, that's an issue. So

7:58

I would pick Bryce much to

8:00

win this fight, but I need

8:02

to know if the home boys

8:05

been getting any sleep. They tell

8:07

me he's not sleeping, I'm taking

8:09

silver all day. So it was

8:11

a big favorite too, but again.

8:13

I know everyone hates Bryce and

8:15

he's this horrible person all that

8:18

shit Throw that out the window.

8:20

This is just fighting Bryce can

8:22

fucking fight But if a crazy

8:24

Bryce isn't sleeping we had a

8:26

problem. I Can't bet on him.

8:28

He's not sleeping. I'm not a

8:31

snake about it. Nick Davis knows

8:33

you know some weird shit Michael

8:35

channel and Patty Pimmlet Love Michael

8:37

Chandler, you guys know this he's

8:39

been on the show multiple times.

8:41

We had guest. He's such a

8:44

good dude, great father He you

8:46

know, he's had an exciting career

8:48

in the of the successful Money-wise.

8:50

Yeah money-wise as far as wins.

8:52

No things lost for his last

8:54

five, you know, he had the

8:56

win over Tony Ferguson. So that's

8:59

the one similar win him and

9:01

Patty have is over Tony Ferguson

9:03

Which you know, it's a whether

9:05

it's a different Tony. It's not

9:07

like you're beating Tony in his

9:09

prime when he's one of the

9:12

best, if not the best, 155

9:14

or walk in the planet and

9:16

couldn't get the cabe fight. They're

9:18

not finding that Tony Ferguson, but

9:20

they both both beat Ferguson. I'd

9:22

say Patty had a more impressive

9:25

win. Chandler, because if you don't

9:27

win this one. For a few

9:29

guys, so if Patricia doesn't win,

9:31

Chandler doesn't win, we'll get to

9:33

Volkonovsky. If Volkonovsky doesn't win, the

9:35

rides over. You know? So for

9:38

Chandler, you know, he's like, rode

9:40

to the title, champs, shit, all

9:42

that, that's over. You lose a

9:44

young line and Patty pimlet and

9:46

it's over. And you've lost five

9:48

out of your last six. If

9:51

you lost a patty, you've lost

9:53

the 4A last 5, again, exciting,

9:55

then there's always going to be

9:57

a home from at the U.S.C.

9:59

But as far as fighting the

10:01

top dogs, he's already lost kind

10:04

of the tip of the spare

10:06

guys. Charles Olivera, you know, there's

10:08

nothing wrong with that, just engaging,

10:10

nothing wrong with that, fought a

10:12

weather. Tony Ferguson did work there

10:14

Spartan kicked to the fucking face.

10:17

Doesn't pour a tip of the

10:19

spear, Charles Olivera, tip of the

10:21

spear, and he got molly whopped

10:23

in that Charles Olivera fight. That's

10:25

what's, if you're Michael Chandler fan,

10:27

which I am, that's what's a

10:30

little alarming. The other ones will

10:32

make like a bonehead mistake, you

10:34

know, he won't wrestle, or just,

10:36

you know, guns are blazing, get

10:38

caught, some happens, and he loses.

10:40

Like, but it was that exciting.

10:42

He got his ass what for

10:45

five rounds the last two minutes

10:47

you chaired because he kind of

10:49

came back did some work there

10:51

but he still he just got

10:53

dismantled for 25 minutes he got

10:55

dismantled for 21 minutes there's four

10:58

minutes was a little back and

11:00

forth that fifth round where he

11:02

he like picked Charles Oliver up

11:04

and okay okay that's what's alarming

11:06

So I think Kim competing at

11:08

the tip of the spear level,

11:11

the top five levels, probably over.

11:13

So now they give him Patty

11:15

Pimlet who's outside the top five.

11:17

You lose to this young line

11:19

and Patty Pimlet, the Liverpool finest,

11:21

and the rides over. The ride's

11:24

over. The ride is definitely over.

11:26

You know, people have a lot

11:28

to say about Patty Pimlet. Obviously,

11:30

he's, you know, he just... gets

11:32

a response of the fan base.

11:34

There's a lot of haters, a

11:37

lot of lovers. Again, Bryce Mitchell,

11:39

the motherfucker can fight, dude. You

11:41

want to talk about out of

11:43

anybody on the card, and there's

11:45

some stars, Yaire, Patricio, Bryce, Silva,

11:47

Chandler, Volcanovsky, pound for pound number

11:50

one for a long time, Diego

11:52

Lopez, oh my God. There's not

11:54

a, there's not even close to

11:56

a bigger star than Patty Pamela.

11:58

If Patti Pinnlet gets through this

12:00

fight, if he passes this test,

12:03

because remember... Y'all thought he's gonna

12:05

lose the Bobby Green. Y'all thought

12:07

he's gonna lose the King Green.

12:09

He beat the fuck out of

12:11

Bobby Green. Beat the shit out

12:13

of him. Remember y'all thought, oh,

12:16

for his first real test, he

12:18

passed that with flying colors. Oh,

12:20

King Green, he's older. He's older.

12:22

He's like Michael Chandler. He's no

12:24

punk. So keep the same energy

12:26

when he fights Michael Chandler. But

12:29

as far as star quality, I've

12:31

interviewed everybody there ain't nobody that

12:34

checks all the boxes And gets

12:36

as close as they can to

12:38

Connor McGregor in the height of

12:40

his fame than patty permit the

12:42

dude has the it factor the

12:44

dude can fucking fight He checks

12:47

all boxes He's the closest thing

12:49

they have on the roster not

12:51

till period doesn't have the charisma

12:53

that patty has not Volcanossi don't

12:55

have the charisma don't have the

12:57

charisma that patty has Doesn't have

13:00

that X factor out of anybody

13:02

on the FC roster and I've

13:04

been around everybody. There's no one

13:06

close to Patty Pinlet That dude

13:08

has something about him. He just

13:10

has it. He just does He

13:13

just does he just does and

13:15

remember when he was younger he

13:17

blow up like 240 pounds when

13:19

he's on food truck you self-hat

13:21

and ate all the burgers? Notice

13:23

he's not doing that anymore He

13:25

was able to do that because

13:28

he was flying by the seat

13:30

of his pants with talent and

13:32

not being disciplined and beating up

13:34

everybody And then he gets in

13:36

a little bit of trouble and

13:38

then notice he that mother fuckers

13:41

in you're not seeing him blow

13:43

up anymore He's in shape between

13:45

fights now. I told him he

13:47

was I can I can get

13:49

away with I'd never take short

13:51

notice fight. I get that man,

13:54

but you can get to a

13:56

level where you're fighting guys where

13:58

you every ounce is gonna in

14:00

your body is gonna take to

14:02

beat these guys in what you're

14:04

doing now it's fine but you

14:07

get to that level he's at

14:09

that level and he knows that

14:11

his team knows that you don't

14:13

see him blow up anymore I

14:15

think he beats Michael Chandler thinking

14:17

he beats Mike Chandler, I think

14:19

Ayaya Rodriguez beats Patricio, and then

14:22

we get to the main event

14:24

with Volkonovsky, Digo Lopez. Again, on

14:26

paper, on paper, who's the more

14:28

skilled fighter? Volkonovsky does everything better

14:30

than Digo Lopez besides like explosive

14:32

on orthodox movement. Digo Lopez is

14:35

younger, it's more explosive, better finishing

14:37

power than Volkonovsky. So he has

14:39

his finishing capabilities, his flying knees,

14:41

his exposiveness, he's unpredictable, that the

14:43

kind of rush in the moment

14:45

movement. Diego Lopez has that in

14:48

spades, he has that, but that's

14:50

the only advantage he has over

14:52

to Volkonovsky. When it comes a

14:54

skill, striking, technical striking, grappling, wrestling,

14:56

Fuckin' Vokenovsky destroys him and everything.

14:58

But Vokenovsky is 36 years old.

15:01

There's never been a guy over

15:03

the age of 35 to do

15:05

what Vokenovsky's attempting. At sure as

15:07

fuck it, not at 35, not

15:09

at 45, not at 55. So

15:11

when you hear that, it's never

15:13

been done. If there's a guy

15:16

to do it, probably Vokenovsky, he's

15:18

in... My heart's with Vocalnofsky. My

15:20

brain's with Diego Lopez. It's a

15:22

terrible match up for Vocalnofsky because

15:24

he's coming off those two losses.

15:26

You know, he took a short

15:29

notice fight with Islam, got head

15:31

kick, cowed, and the fights, comes

15:33

back shortly after, fights Iliatopira, gets

15:35

fucking cowed. Two horrible losses, but

15:37

he made all the life changing

15:39

money. He's kind of good. He's

15:42

pretty set. Has a far mountain

15:44

Australia, has the fourth baby girl

15:46

on the way. So to take

15:48

the short notice fights, especially the

15:50

one in Abu Dhabi, and then

15:52

the short notice with the Iliatopir

15:55

short ern- at Featherweight, he made

15:57

all the bank. And he's a

15:59

prize fighter, so I don't hold

16:01

it against him. I get it,

16:03

dude. Life, dude, life changing money

16:05

in this game? Fucking, get your

16:07

bag, dog. And he did that,

16:10

but he came at a cost.

16:12

Came at a horrible cost. Horrible,

16:14

horrible cost. This should be a

16:16

lesson for managers out there. Like,

16:18

yeah, your fighters make bank, but

16:20

it's gonna shorten the career. Chance

16:23

them winning's not good. So now

16:25

he's on the wrong side of

16:27

30. He's 36 and he's fighting

16:29

a surging young line in Diego

16:31

Lopez. Has a chance to win

16:33

the belt again, right? Because the

16:36

vacated, Topira is moving up to

16:38

55. Diego's the first fight he

16:40

fought. Mosar have lost to that

16:42

decision. Other than that, he doesn't

16:44

have any great. The bright Artega

16:46

win was good. He kind of...

16:49

put it on that first round,

16:51

then coasted to the next two,

16:53

wanted to prove a point, he

16:55

said, was trying to submit him.

16:57

Denny is always a good win.

16:59

Is that a catchweight? Super short

17:01

notice, right? He doesn't have a

17:04

lot of quality wins at all.

17:06

At all. God, if Alex is

17:08

just a little younger, I'd pick

17:10

him all fucking day. I'm rooting

17:12

for Alex, I want Alex to

17:14

win. But it's never been done

17:17

before. Especially at this weight class,

17:19

you know, and Wokenos loses this

17:21

one. It's over, the ride's over.

17:23

There might be one or two

17:25

fights left, but as far as

17:27

like fighting for shit we care

17:30

about, those days are done. Chandler,

17:32

too. The whole, you know, walk

17:34

on and row to the championship,

17:36

that's over. Patricio, beltward, legend, one

17:38

of the best, when waiting for

17:40

him to come, he just has

17:43

too many miles, he loses this

17:45

one. Back to the Q. Yeah

17:47

your ideas next in line. fight

17:49

in the young line, it's over.

17:51

All right, kids, let's take a

17:53

little break here, because when I

17:55

started this freaking podcast, it seemed

17:58

like I had to figure it

18:00

all out on my own script,

18:02

set up, filming schedule, logos, merge,

18:04

all that. It was a lot,

18:06

a lot to deal with. It

18:08

was overwhelming and every day seemed

18:11

to introduce a new decision that

18:13

needed an answer. So when you're

18:15

starting out with something new, it

18:17

seems like your to-do list keeps

18:19

growing every day with new tasks.

18:21

18:24

overrun your life. It's all you

18:26

19:31

C-H-A-B. Chaching. Couldn't channel to be

19:33

like like Donald Soroni though, because

19:35

he's. He's always exciting, you know

19:37

what I mean? Depends what he

19:39

wants to. There's still be fights

19:41

for him. There'll be fun fights

19:43

for him. Not championship. As far

19:46

as like fighting the tip of

19:48

the spear, like the guys trying

19:50

to climb to the top five

19:52

those days are over. Now, now

19:54

Patti Pilots, you're fighting that young

19:56

line, you lose to that. Then

19:59

the U of season, I'm like,

20:01

all right. People love Michael Chan.

20:03

He's a fan favorite, he's exciting.

20:05

We're just gonna use these young

20:07

lines to build their name off

20:09

Muckle Chandler. That's what's left for

20:12

him. If he wants to do

20:14

it. Vocalasi, similar thing. Unfortunately, similar

20:16

thing. Patricio, they're gonna throw him

20:18

to the fucking wolves. Here's you

20:20

got Rodriguez, you lose to him.

20:22

He has fucking some monster. It's

20:25

just, it's not gonna be good.

20:27

There's a lot on the line.

20:29

I'm not mad at the prelims

20:31

either. Jim Miller, Chase Hooper, fantastic,

20:33

take my money. Danny Yay, Sean

20:35

Watson, great fucking fight. That's actually

20:37

a big women's straw white fight

20:40

too. Jan Shannon versus Werner, gender

20:42

robot. Yeah, women's fights in the

20:44

fucking shit can, out of all

20:46

the fights, Jim, Jesus. No, that

20:48

is like an actual. No, I

20:50

know, it's one that... The 17

20:53

people that care about women's fighting,

20:55

some like, like, whoa, like, whoa,

20:57

you know. And Dominic Ray has

20:59

he finally got a win? I

21:01

know. That's a great way to

21:03

kick off the main event. I

21:06

would have done Jim Miller, Chase,

21:08

Huber, but I get it. Good

21:10

card. Yeah. For what we're used

21:12

to, it's a great card. And

21:14

for what we're used to, it's

21:16

a great card. And for 23

21:19

and above, this is a great

21:21

card. For the people that just

21:23

jump on board during COVID and

21:25

we're like, oh, I'll watch some

21:27

fighting. Ignorance is blessed man. This

21:29

is a run-of-the-mill card back in

21:31

the day. It's a fight night,

21:34

Don. That's what we're used to,

21:36

the fight night. This fight night.

21:38

But again, get paper for 2025.

21:40

What do you got, Shin? Real

21:42

quick. I just remember when you

21:44

were talking about Bryce Mitchell. He

21:47

said something about his ex casting

21:49

a witch spell on him as

21:51

well, so it's like, damn. He

21:53

has a spell against him, and

21:55

he's not sleeping. An anti-Semitic rant?

21:57

Oh, and pro-human rule! Oh, I'll

22:00

just say pick against him. I

22:02

gotta find out if he's sleeping.

22:04

Gosh, guess the spell he gets

22:06

some fuck. Can't bet on a

22:08

guy, he gets a spell. Sorry.

22:10

I just, he's definitely not there

22:13

right now, but. Yeah, it sucks.

22:15

You know what, it doesn't help

22:17

was you don't sleep. That's a

22:19

huge thing. Remember rampage. We didn't

22:21

sleep for a few days and

22:23

he had, he actually went on

22:25

a rampage with his, his huge

22:28

truck. Yeah, yeah. So

22:30

this is not, this is more

22:32

like a rumor, but it's pretty

22:34

much official, but Movesar Evola, this

22:37

is nothing thrown into the wolves,

22:39

right? So Aaron Pico is apparently

22:41

signed to the UFC now and

22:43

his first fight will be Movesar

22:45

Evoloev. Evloev. That is a tough

22:47

fucking fight. First fight. And this

22:49

is Movesar's record, 19, wins, zero

22:51

losses. And he just beat alginine

22:54

sterling dude look who he's beat

22:56

talk about strength of schedule talk

22:58

about getting fucked over yeah I'm

23:00

about getting just just not looked

23:02

at there's just like now we

23:04

can't man all you do is

23:06

grapple like I enjoyed the aljumine

23:09

sterling fight that high-level grappling I

23:11

you know maybe Arnold Allen oh

23:13

my god dude he's beat aljo

23:15

Arnold Allen do you go look

23:17

as fighting for a world title

23:19

he beat him for a world

23:21

title he beat him he beat

23:23

him yeah He beat Dan Ege,

23:26

he got pretty good, right? He

23:28

beat Dan Ege. This motherfucker is

23:30

so good, and they're just not

23:32

giving them a chance. Like, all

23:34

right, we'll get past fucking Aaron

23:36

Pico now. We're just signing up,

23:38

here's Aaron Pico. A guy that,

23:41

I mean, the hardcore, I love

23:43

Aaron Pico. I label him as

23:45

the LeBron James of MMA when

23:47

he lost at Man Square Garden,

23:49

and I was live on the

23:51

fucking show time. Remember those days?

23:53

We're at Mass Square Garden and

23:55

I said he's a LeBron James

23:58

from him. and he got choked

24:00

the fuck out. I still ride

24:02

with him Pico. The hardcore's know

24:04

who he is, but for Mosar,

24:06

God, dog, they're just not helping

24:08

him. I mean, what is a

24:10

strategy there? Because Aaron Pico seems

24:13

way more like marketable and he's

24:15

exciting as well. Like. The strategy

24:17

availability, you're looking at guys in

24:19

the top, they don't like Mosar

24:21

if they think because Aaron has

24:23

a. Oh, wrestling in. Extensive wrestling,

24:25

but background and can fucking box.

24:27

So they're thinking that this can

24:30

give most of our problems. It's

24:32

tough fucking fight. Hey, Aaron, welcome

24:34

the UFC. I've told you guys

24:36

this since day one. Back 10

24:38

years ago, there's warm up fights.

24:40

There's guys to build. There's not,

24:42

those days are gone. Those days

24:45

are gone. You're fighting the who's

24:47

who? And people like, oh my

24:49

god for Aaron's first fight. Yeah,

24:51

man. UFC, welcome the big show.

24:53

Get mad when the Dodgers get

24:55

lined up with the fucking Cincinnati

24:57

Reds? Nah, they're all professionals. You

24:59

gotta be able to beat everybody.

25:02

You get to the UFC, because

25:04

you either fight most of now

25:06

or you fight another killer. That's

25:08

how, especially in that division, that's

25:10

how this goes. If you sign

25:12

with the UFC, be ready to

25:14

fucking go, man. You might get

25:16

a little lee wave come from

25:19

the Dana White Contender series where

25:21

they can give you some favorable

25:23

match-ups. But if you're fighting, guys

25:25

in the top 15, get ready

25:27

to fucking go. From belt work

25:29

get ready to go Patricio. Here's

25:31

Yari Rodriguez. It sucks There you

25:34

go and Pico PFL cool. There's

25:36

not a lot of competition, but

25:38

you fancy yourself with a world-class

25:40

athlete Here's Mozart. He's world-class. No

25:42

one can figure them out. We

25:44

hope you can't chance. Are you're

25:46

not going to though? It'll be

25:48

Pico be under talking that fight.

25:51

Yeah But yeah, none

25:53

of this, people like complain or

25:55

something, do you get mad when

25:57

the Lakers get paired up with

25:59

the Dallas Mavericks? professionals. That's how

26:01

this goes. That's the game. When

26:03

you sign that contract to fight

26:05

in the U.S.E. for six fights

26:07

for terrible money, you're fighting the

26:09

best of the best. That's what

26:11

you're in Pico got. I'm room

26:14

for you in Pico, that's for

26:16

sure. So is the U.S.C. All

26:18

right, going back to Chandler. So

26:20

I think I'm speaking with M.A.

26:22

junkie, I believe. And you're saying

26:24

that, you know, because a lot

26:26

of people are saying, that he

26:28

is a repetition of being a

26:30

cheater. You know, he does glove

26:32

grabs, fence grabs. He grabbed Dustin

26:34

Poree's like lip or something like

26:37

that too, a bunch of stuff.

26:39

And he's saying right now that

26:41

it is actually, you know, it's

26:43

starting to get to him a

26:45

little bit. And I'll just play

26:47

this little bit of a clip

26:49

here. It's a tough narrative. With

26:51

that being said, I also. respect

26:53

Patty for not making a big

26:55

deal out of it. I mean,

26:57

I think it's a sign of

27:00

weakness when you start talking about

27:02

a guy cheating. Yeah, the most

27:04

interesting one to me was Justin

27:06

Gates. You know, like Justin Gates,

27:08

he's a savage and like took

27:10

calling me a cheater. I'm like,

27:12

dude, you know, come on, man.

27:14

Like it just, it's a little

27:16

bit of a sign of weakness.

27:18

Anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

27:20

So what is leaving at that?

27:23

I am doing exactly what I

27:25

feel necessary in the fight. The

27:27

referee, if they tell me to

27:29

stop, I'm going to stop. There's

27:31

a lot of things that you

27:33

do inside the octagon that you're

27:35

doing, you don't even really realize

27:37

you're doing, and it's the rough

27:39

job to tell you. So we'll

27:41

see how these these next couple

27:43

of fights play out. So when

27:46

you're actually in a fight, you

27:48

personally, you personally, you know, obviously

27:50

it's chaotic, right? Like, could you

27:52

imagine grabbing someone's mouth? No. And

27:54

then not knowing it says no.

27:56

No. Yeah, I mean, channels can

27:58

channel. You know, he's an exciting

28:00

fighter. It's the last thing I

28:02

think of when I think, to

28:04

me the beach, not the biggest

28:06

cheater, but the guy where he's

28:09

like, come on dude, it's John

28:11

Jones with the eye pokes. That's

28:13

when he's like, come on. Yeah,

28:15

but for a channel, it's not

28:17

like he's, the shit they're accused

28:19

of of, it's not like you

28:21

never change the fight, change the

28:23

dynamics of the fight, and he

28:25

won. I can't do it, he's

28:27

win by cheating. But it's not

28:29

like the cheating. He's lost four

28:32

of his last five. What are

28:34

people complaining about? You know? Yeah.

28:36

He's getting fucked up. They're exciting

28:38

fights. He's going out on a

28:40

shield. So it's not like he's

28:42

cheating to win. That'd be a

28:44

different narrative. And also does he

28:46

do this? Because usually whatever you

28:48

do in practice can do in

28:50

the octagon. So I don't know

28:52

his team. So is he doing

28:54

some of the shit in practice?

28:57

Because it'd be weird to never

28:59

do it in practice, then go

29:01

into the biggest stage and just

29:03

do this new shit where you're

29:05

fish hooking and checking oil, you

29:07

know? That's kind of weird. The

29:09

one thing that I do in

29:11

practice. Like actually trying to figure

29:13

out how to do it, that'd

29:15

be fun. Probably doing practice. Like

29:17

actually trying to figure out how

29:20

to do it, that'd be fun.

29:22

Probably doing practice. But yeah, it's

29:24

not something like he's notoriously, you

29:26

know. I didn't think

29:28

about that angle. But you

29:30

know, so name we got

29:32

besides deal, I don't know

29:35

anyway, who it's Deagle Lopez,

29:37

maybe they hate his haircut.

29:39

But there's not like a

29:41

guy in MMA, UFC, the

29:43

rest of the leagues or

29:45

whatever. And UFC, that's just

29:48

beloved by 100% of people.

29:50

It doesn't exist. Volkonovsky, no.

29:52

Bryce Mitchell, sure, fuck not.

29:54

Petty Pinlet sure as fuck

29:56

not. I think the closest

29:58

but it it ended badly.

30:01

No, Rhonda. Rhonda. Rhonda. Rhonda.

30:03

Oh, no. She always had

30:05

horrible haters. Horrible haters. Always.

30:07

That's always probably the best

30:09

example. Yeah, he's definitely. I don't

30:12

know too many people. I hate

30:14

him. There's not like you can

30:16

hate on Max for. No, I

30:18

think yeah, most people love Max.

30:21

Max probably the most

30:23

beloved fighter. Max is probably

30:25

the MMMA community. There's

30:27

not. Connor especially these days

30:30

good lot or even when

30:32

he's coming up before all

30:34

this Weird shit outside dog.

30:36

He was hated John's hated

30:38

Brock Lesnar severely hated Frank

30:41

mayor You'd have to go like

30:43

before the Internet days like Chuck

30:45

was super loved to Chuck but

30:47

he's before like can't Chuck

30:50

Randy Tito obviously hated

30:52

now, but Tito back in the day

30:54

like there was a lot of that

30:56

you know Yeah, and my community is

30:58

is notoriously known for the most hated,

31:00

yeah, the haters, the most haters, yeah,

31:02

but it is what it is. This episode

31:04

Progressive. Let's get back to the program.

31:44

So this is, I'll let Dana speak. Meadow

31:46

was gonna team up with UFC, but then

31:48

he got into more details about it here.

31:57

Up everybody, U.S.C. and Medicine has signed a

31:59

massive long-term partner. Metal will now

32:01

become UFC's first ever official fan

32:03

technology partner. This is great news

32:05

for UFC fans. Why? Because this

32:08

means that Metal will use all

32:10

of their bad-ass apps and technology

32:12

like Instagram, Facebook, threads, WhatsApp, and

32:15

Meta-AI to create amazing content and

32:17

experiences for UFC fans. We've already

32:19

started to work with Meta to

32:22

create a new fighter ranking system

32:24

that will debut later this year.

32:26

Thank God. We'll also be using

32:29

meta's AI powered glasses to capture

32:31

UFC content and we're going to

32:33

do things with meta that will

32:36

blow UFC fans away. The next

32:38

few years will be an absolute

32:40

game changer for fans of this

32:43

sport. Stay tuned everybody. Makes sense

32:45

though, I mean the rankings now,

32:47

I don't know who the fucks

32:50

rank in them, you know, but

32:52

they're a little off. I mean,

32:54

I guess you're digital. Yeah,

32:57

into the world. It's not

32:59

that big of an announcement,

33:01

you know Well, just let

33:03

you guys know Zuckberg's not

33:05

a cuck He you did

33:07

not tell me to say

33:09

that definitely not he's on

33:11

TRT. He does jjitsu and

33:13

that makes him a man

33:15

Okay, okay. Also, he did

33:17

not take money from the

33:20

Biden cabinet to push a

33:22

narrative and suppress information during

33:24

COVID Zuck's definitely cooler out.

33:26

He wears chains and white

33:28

teas You gotta throw. Definitely,

33:30

definitely not a cut guys.

33:32

He's definitely part of our

33:34

team. Okay. Okay, I'll buy

33:36

that. Zuck trains MMA everybody

33:38

and he's creating the rankings.

33:40

So if you don't think

33:42

he's gonna list Volkidovsky pound

33:44

for pound number one, whether

33:46

he loses or not, because

33:48

they have a close relationship,

33:50

you're out of your fucking

33:52

mind. McKenzie

33:58

Durb number one pound for

34:00

pound. fighter in the world.

34:02

According to Zuckaburg, he's a

34:04

real man. He's working out

34:06

guys. He does Jiu-Jitsu. It

34:08

changes the guy. He didn't

34:11

know what he's doing. He's

34:13

suppressing information. He owns too

34:15

big of a business. Who

34:17

could run all that? But

34:19

we'll give him all the

34:21

other credit. Zuck's just like

34:23

us. He hangs out at

34:25

the UFC. You

34:28

don't want to fight Elon

34:30

Musk? You fucking idiot. Like

34:33

never happening? Come on. I

34:35

mean these days I think

34:38

anything is possible. No. Never

34:40

happening. No. I hope it

34:43

does though. I'm a UFC

34:45

fighter. I'm paid from Zuckerberg.

34:47

The guy's pretty good. Okay.

34:50

Okay. Yeah, when when Zuck

34:52

became part of the art

34:55

was in like, you know,

34:57

the USC stuff, all the

34:59

all the fighters were like,

35:02

hey, Zuck, remember all the,

35:04

oh, yeah, it's funny. Zuck,

35:07

quick check from my wife.

35:09

Hey, babe, just put an

35:12

oction. Is this serious, octon,

35:14

the backyard? Yeah, bitch, got

35:16

a train. Check out my

35:19

two chains. I'm just like

35:21

the rest of the guys.

35:24

Okay. Calan,

35:29

McCallin' Roe going to defend him.

35:31

Like, you know, he's definitely, you're

35:33

just like, manly, dude, like, okay.

35:36

Do you know how hard it

35:38

is to run that company? I

35:40

bet he had no clue about

35:42

the Biden stuff. Okay. We'll buy

35:45

that narrative. Nice controlling the rankings.

35:47

Not he, but meta. Oh yeah,

35:49

he owns Metabud. AI. I don't

35:52

know. We'll see how it happens.

35:54

Yeah, I mean the rankings now

35:56

haven't forbid they should use real

35:58

journalists to vote on it, but

36:01

I mean I think guys actually

36:03

know the fucking sport heaven forbid

36:05

Yeah, use a fucking computer and

36:08

who's writing the program? With all

36:10

this A.S. Remember a human has

36:12

to program these things and develop

36:14

the software. So if the person

36:17

who's doing the rankings this nerd

36:19

that's doing the programming for meta

36:21

is more in favor of a

36:24

striker opposed to a grappler, you're

36:26

gonna have some bias in those

36:28

rankings. It's never gonna be perfect.

36:30

What'd be perfect if you take

36:33

guys like Irohawani, Luke Thomas, like

36:35

the whole gamut of actual journalists

36:37

and have them vote on it

36:40

like they do the Hall of

36:42

Fame or stuff like that. Treat

36:44

it like a real fucking sport.

36:46

That'll be great. Um, they might

36:49

pay him a lot of money

36:51

though, right? No, those guys don't

36:53

get paid. Ariel and Luke. They

36:56

don't get paid for rankings? No,

36:58

I'm saying they should. No, they

37:00

do fine. You don't get paid.

37:02

You don't get paid to do

37:05

the rankings. Guys don't get paid

37:07

to vote for the Hall of

37:09

Fame. But I for them to

37:12

actually do the rankings take the

37:14

time out of their day. They

37:16

should get paid. No. They should

37:18

get for the love of the

37:21

sport. You should get paid for

37:23

the love of the sport. The

37:25

sport. Those, those, those, like, Stephen

37:28

A. Smith and Skip Bass, they

37:30

don't get paid to do votes.

37:32

You're lucky if you can get

37:34

a vote. That's a huge honor.

37:37

Those guys would do it all

37:39

day. It's like like you would

37:41

take that much time. Oh, top

37:44

five of every division. Oh, no.

37:46

Fine. All right, let's go here.

37:48

So Daniel Cormé on his YouTube

37:50

channel said that he thinks. I

37:53

just hate how there's no pushback

37:55

on that Dana Zuck stuff. Oh,

37:57

this is great! Like all the

38:00

comments in there? Oh, fuck yeah,

38:02

dude. Best thing ever. everyone. Yeah,

38:04

God. That's you, Casey. So gay.

38:06

All right. So Daniel Cormie on

38:09

his YouTube channel said that he

38:11

believes is on Machoev a fight

38:13

just engaging next. And now, you

38:16

know, not at 55. Not at

38:18

55. All right. Well, he goes,

38:20

I get it. It would be

38:22

more to give ill at a

38:25

period title shot because there's no

38:27

clear number one contender. The

38:30

cleared-on-one contender is Armin Saruican,

38:32

but if Armin Saruican is

38:35

not next, Charles Oliver is

38:37

another guy who's one fight,

38:39

he beat Michael Chandler. He's

38:42

supposed to fight for the

38:44

belt before Armin, so there

38:47

are guys. I honestly believe

38:49

that the next fight for

38:52

the belt is going to

38:54

be Gaichi. It's going to

38:56

be Gaichi. That's if, I'm

38:59

trying to be a fight,

39:01

if I'm honest with you.

39:04

This whole narrative on Machochev

39:06

again, this just doesn't move

39:09

the the the fucking markers

39:11

forward for is on passing

39:13

the shadow kibib. Okay, you

39:16

know, you fight Dustin? Are

39:18

you fight Gaichi? Okay. It

39:21

does nothing. Mm-hmm. So, uh,

39:23

period doesn't pour-a. Cautious

39:26

Cabee, but use of meddling with Islam

39:28

taught if I see I see Illy

39:30

to appear in Desimpori. This is, uh,

39:32

Henry Sejuda talking about it because he

39:34

said he did talk to could be.

39:36

Is I ever talking, could be saying

39:38

it's not fair for Illy to skip

39:41

the line and go after the title

39:43

shot with Islam. Because that's all Islam's

39:45

been doing. He gave

39:47

Volcanosity a couple touches where he's got

39:49

up, so I don't think it's going

39:51

to be Islam's choice. I think Kabir

39:54

was going to step in and be

39:56

like, he needs to fight another one

39:58

contender. You can say no for that

40:00

reason, so I'm just going to be

40:02

just engaged with Islam and that's well,

40:05

that's two for two. Yep, that's why

40:07

it's like building up to this. I'm

40:09

like, yeah, it's kind of stupid. And

40:11

everyone's saying Ilea verse doesn't pour it.

40:14

That's an interesting fight. That'd be a

40:16

fun fight. But that's not the whole

40:18

like, oh, so you never would imagine

40:20

kind of thing. Mark Chef Gaichi does

40:22

nothing for me. She's gonna take him

40:25

down to some metal. All

40:29

right, Jim. So this is also Henry

40:31

Soto. He was in the news recently

40:33

about stopping some hit and run guys

40:35

And I'll just play the clip for

40:38

you real quick What shirt is he

40:40

where? Everything's funny about the fucking sick

40:42

All the sudden I see this car

40:44

Our neighborhood's kind of like a youth

40:46

so I see this car coming you

40:48

know with a huge right turn like

40:51

probably going to a hundred miles an

40:53

hour They should know what I hear.

40:55

There's a big sound and a boom.

40:57

You hear it. You say 200 miles

40:59

an hour? Or somebody. I think something

41:02

happened to you in my neighbor's yard.

41:04

And there's four passengers in there. You

41:06

know, they couldn't get out. I mean,

41:08

if you see inside this room, like

41:10

if somebody was standing, they'd be dead.

41:13

A lot of these kids are lucky

41:15

to be alive. But anyways, they decided

41:17

they all got out stronger to get

41:19

out little by little. And then one

41:21

of them kind of got away, they

41:24

eventually ended up getting getting them. But

41:26

they all tried to get out of

41:28

the car and they tried to struggle

41:30

it. They're struggling to get out. Once

41:32

they got out, you know, I told

41:34

him, hey, you guys ain't going nowhere.

41:37

Wayne tried to stop him. He was

41:39

the owner of this house. He's like,

41:41

you guys got it. You know, you

41:43

guys got to be held accountable for

41:45

what just happened. And then he kind

41:48

of, you know, you know, fight the

41:50

situation. and that I'm dropping him, lifting

41:52

him, dropping him, stopping him, stopping him

41:54

a little bit, and just pretty much

41:56

critole him, I don't know. So he

41:59

wasn't that tough. Who loves

42:01

to hear that? It's always, when

42:03

you talk, so it always seems

42:05

like he's like embellishing a little

42:08

bit. Yeah, just slapped him around

42:10

a little bit. But yeah, so

42:12

he helped out his neighbor. Someone's

42:14

trying to run after hitting his

42:16

house. Good for him. Yeah, definitely.

42:19

Here it's just flawless. Sulkie or

42:21

some shit. Amazon. Ooh. That makes

42:23

it less cool, Jim. Yeah, I

42:25

don't think we announced this on

42:28

the show, yeah, but you know,

42:30

Chado versus on Friday. Okay, so

42:32

E'M Chado versus Carlos Pratas. College

42:34

Pratas right now is like killing

42:37

it. He's got like killing it.

42:39

He's got some of cigarettes. And

42:41

they're headlining Kansas City because, remember,

42:43

Kale Rountry and Jamal Hill is

42:45

supposed to do it, then I

42:48

think E'emachado again, say what you

42:50

want about him when it comes

42:52

to fighting the best to do

42:54

it. He's to do it. He's

42:57

to do it. If you ask

42:59

for the smoke, even if you're

43:01

a child of Gary, it shows

43:03

the fuck up. I don't know

43:06

how you can't respect this kid.

43:08

I think he fucked Carla's Prada's

43:10

up. You guys know how big

43:12

I am on, you're a child

43:14

of Gary. Mm-hmm. That's a great

43:17

fight night. Against City Stacey. People

43:19

love them. You know, John O'Malley

43:21

coming off that loss, even though

43:23

it was kind of a win

43:26

over shot, you know, with shot

43:28

cut. So just to get a

43:30

W, put them right back in

43:32

there, it's brilliant. Good batch up

43:35

for him, too. He's bad-ass. There's

43:37

no doubt. Bad-ass. So it's officially

43:39

announced that Maraud Devashvili is going

43:41

to rematch with Sean O'Malley at

43:43

UFC through 2016, and I guess

43:46

a lot of like pundits and

43:48

fans are saying. It's not a

43:50

great. The majority of people, well,

43:52

especially when there's like I have

43:55

a big announcement, he's like, I'm

43:57

gonna blow you guys away. I'm

43:59

like, I was in blown, bro.

44:01

So, um, this fight's just tough.

44:04

Again, I love sugar. You guys

44:06

know this. This fight's tough because,

44:08

you know, that fight wasn't that

44:10

close and you just don't see,

44:12

I, you just don't see a

44:15

path to victory for sugar. What's

44:17

he gonna do? There's not enough

44:19

hours in the day. Apparently you

44:21

stopped jacking off and having sex

44:24

and drinking, you know, I, but

44:26

that doesn't improve his takedown defense.

44:28

I just. I just don't know

44:30

what he's going to do. I

44:33

hope he wins. I hope he

44:35

figures it out. But I think

44:37

that's people's issue with this fight,

44:39

because he gets immediate title shot,

44:42

but it's not like it was

44:44

controversial. It's not like he was

44:46

that close of a fight. So

44:48

I think fans like, okay. You

44:50

know, I get it. Like, oh,

44:53

okay, I guess we want that.

44:55

Okay. Are you guys crunk about

44:57

it? Yeah,

45:00

I mean what what if you give

45:02

like any knocks him out? It'd be

45:04

awesome. Yeah, yeah, it'd be dope if

45:07

you knocks him out You know It's

45:09

cool. You know, you know, you know,

45:11

you know, you know, you're not excited

45:13

for it's in I mean, it's cool.

45:15

I'm not like super stoked about it.

45:17

Because you know you're gonna get five

45:19

rounds of just I just imagined me

45:22

of the same thing. Yeah, yeah Yeah,

45:24

it's just, yeah, you just, you know,

45:26

it's a kind of ruin in it

45:28

for me. It's tough to see it

45:30

going the other way. It's kind of

45:32

like the, the, I am, because I'm

45:35

a fucking degenerate, I'll shut things down,

45:37

cook some steaks and watch it with

45:39

a family, any UFC, pay-per-view, I don't

45:41

care, I'm doing it. But for the

45:43

casuals that are like, I don't know

45:45

if I'll spend $80 dollars to watch

45:47

Gachee Islam, we know how it's gonna

45:50

go. I guess

45:52

you're buying it in the hopes

45:54

that Gagee lands one. I guess

45:56

you're buying sugar in the hopes,

45:58

but odds are... We know how

46:00

it's going to go. It is

46:02

MMA, but you're talking about the

46:05

tip of the spare guys. That's

46:07

why. You're like, oh, God damn.

46:09

You see, he has a star

46:11

problem right now. That's why they

46:13

need Patty to win this weekend.

46:15

That's why they needed Alex to

46:17

win this weekend. When you guys

46:20

are like, you know, the fans

46:22

are like, oh, you only want

46:24

entertainment. What about the rankings? I

46:26

get all that. I want the

46:28

sport to survive. And if all

46:30

the casuals leave and paper views

46:32

keep going down and the numbers

46:35

are terrible, if it keeps going

46:37

down, I mean, I won't have

46:39

a job doing this, but just

46:41

the sport in general is in

46:43

a bad spot. Horrible spot. You

46:45

need that crossover star. So if

46:47

Patty loses, you even child Gary,

46:49

you think about the stars. Because

46:52

the older heads that you guys

46:54

know and love that the hardcore

46:56

came to the sport with, they're...

46:58

If you've noticed lately, they're all

47:00

aging like a motherfucker, they're slowly

47:02

getting casted out. There's no journalism,

47:04

that's out now. You have the

47:07

Nelk boys doing these interviews like,

47:09

oh, what's your favorite cupcake? You're

47:11

like, that's your question for Mockett

47:13

Jeff? Your favorite fucking cupcake? Nothing

47:15

about the matchup? So it's like,

47:17

the sports in a weird fucking

47:19

place right now. Ratings are down,

47:22

TV rights deals coming up. Like

47:24

it's in a weird, Connor Shurfak

47:26

not coming back. Yeah, but they

47:28

got meta doing the rankings now.

47:30

Boom, you got Zuck on TRT

47:32

too. So there's class half full.

47:34

But tell you what, I know

47:37

people are sick and hearing this.

47:39

If you want Connor to come

47:41

back, there's a fight you can

47:43

make that would do it. And

47:45

if you remember, rewind the show

47:47

three months ago, Patty Pinlet, Connor

47:49

McGregor. Connor

47:52

gets by I mean, sorry if

47:54

Patty gets by Michael Chandler, he's

47:57

one fight away from a title.

47:59

I know I know what Whatever

48:01

you say about Patty and you

48:03

don't like him, you're telling you.

48:06

The kid checks all boxes. He

48:08

beats Michael Chandler. It's first like,

48:10

quote-unquote, top, you know, contender fight.

48:13

He beats Chandler. He's one fight

48:15

away from going sizzler. What fight

48:17

would put him on the board

48:20

with the castles more than a

48:22

Connor McGregor fight? What fight would

48:24

Connor? Charles Oliver, not happened. Iliat,

48:27

period, not fucking happened. Islam, not

48:29

fucking happening. Young kid from Liverpool,

48:31

who's very charismatic, and checks all

48:34

the boxes, and Connor thinks he

48:36

could probably beat him in the

48:38

stand-up game, Connor probably take that

48:41

fight. The other ones, he'd be

48:43

an underdog. The Patty Pima fight,

48:45

he might be a small underdog,

48:47

but in Connor's mind, he thinks

48:50

he can win that fight, so

48:52

that might get him to do

48:54

it. I've been saying

48:57

this for a hot second. Patti...

48:59

Patti... Patti Connor's gonna happen. But

49:01

Patti has to get past Chandler.

49:03

And then he's just one fight

49:05

away from fighting for your title.

49:07

He's gonna get fast-tracked. They babyed

49:09

him long enough. He passed the

49:11

test with the vet and King

49:13

Green. Pass with flying colors. All

49:15

right, here's Michael Chandler, but a

49:18

tougher opponent, but still not, you

49:20

know, the... Top top guy Patti's

49:22

not ready for that you beat

49:24

Michael Chandler. All right beat an

49:26

older king green be an older

49:28

Michael Chandler Check all the boxes.

49:30

Let's come on. We need to

49:32

we got a guy with star

49:34

quality here. What's next? Could you

49:36

give him a? Some fucking monster,

49:39

you know in Cerookian or some

49:41

shit? You could if you wanted

49:43

to fuck his world up, but

49:45

that's not fun. What come on

49:47

where we do it? No You

49:49

make the phone call, you send

49:51

out that green bat signal, you

49:53

got Connor waiting the wings. Connor

49:55

goes, I can beat Patty. Connor

49:57

knows deep down with his training

50:00

camp. Connor thinks he can be

50:02

Patty on a three day notice.

50:04

Standup wise, Connor's way ahead of

50:06

Patty, standup wise. Do I think

50:08

Connor wants that fight? Probably not,

50:10

but Carter's team's like, oh, Patty's

50:12

good matchup force. Michael's Channel is

50:14

a tough one. Charles is a

50:16

fucking nightmare. Michael's have fucking nightmare.

50:19

Topira nightmare. Patty, though, Connor thinks

50:21

he can beat. That will get

50:23

him to sign a contract. You're

50:25

gonna get Patty Connor for Connor

50:27

fights again. I'm

50:30

with you 100% that will probably

50:32

be the biggest fight in a

50:34

long long years He needs it

50:36

and but the thing is like

50:39

if they did fight let me

50:41

ask you this They're not champions.

50:43

So would they have to be

50:45

a co-main event they would have

50:47

to be the main event. Right.

50:49

Yeah, you just don't have any

50:51

other title fight on the card

50:54

Because you can't put them over

50:56

a title of tie fight. So

50:58

he's gonna take priority. Yeah, so

51:00

they would have that be like

51:02

one of the first ever headline

51:04

Or, hold my fucking scouser here.

51:07

Patty Connor in Liverpool. That's where

51:09

you do it. Imagine that crowd.

51:11

I know they fell asleep the

51:13

other night, but dude, imagine that

51:15

fucking crowd. Or, just spib on

51:17

ideas there. I don't work for

51:20

the UFC marketing team. You finally

51:22

signed John Jones and Tom Asenol.

51:24

That's your main event. Your co-main

51:26

event is Connor. And

51:29

Patty and Connor still gets paper view

51:31

points and you have John and Aspa

51:33

on there So Connor's can make all

51:36

the money favorable opponent you do an

51:38

international fight week suck my dick Any

51:40

other fucking questions case? Yes, what just

51:42

one is that would that be a

51:45

three-round fight or a five-round five-time three

51:47

baby? Okay Can't do five. You know

51:49

can't do five You think Connor's ego

51:51

will allow him to do a Comey

51:54

event? Would Jay? You think Connor's ego

51:56

will allow him to do a Comey,

51:58

even though it's like an enormous... I

52:01

think you will because he'll know he's

52:03

getting pay-per-view points off Tom and Tom

52:05

and John So it's just all about

52:07

the money then about money. It's about

52:10

money. It's about card placement and it's

52:12

about a matchup number one being matchup

52:14

and he thinks he can beat Patty

52:17

He knows you have to he has

52:19

to be on his peace and now.

52:21

Do I think it'll be patty? Probably

52:23

not this current state probably not. I

52:26

love Connor, but that's a tough I

52:28

can fight The

52:32

old Islam to period talk at

52:34

53:50

All righty. So on the same

53:52

card, Juliana Pena, and Kayla Harrison,

53:54

it's official now. What's, what, what

53:57

do you mean, same card? Oh,

53:59

with morob and sugar? Man, that

54:01

one's not gonna do great. great

54:03

paper view. And here are the

54:06

odds. Here's a minus 590 favorite,

54:08

that's offensive. Plus three, seven, that's

54:10

another dog. It's because Julia Pena,

54:13

she doesn't have a ton of

54:15

good wins on her resume. It's

54:17

just the state of the women's

54:19

divisions. You know, she beat. She

54:22

beat a man of Nunez. A

54:25

man I didn't take the fights

54:27

here. So you're like, all right,

54:29

but that was a huge win.

54:32

That was cool. Proud of her.

54:34

And I think your best win

54:36

outside that would be Raquel Pennington.

54:39

Like her best win ranked opponent

54:41

would be Rockel outside Amanda You

54:43

know, so that's what's going on

54:46

there. That's why she's such a

54:48

big dog and She's not super

54:50

active. She took two years off

54:53

when she lost Amanda and she

54:55

beat Rockel Penninton in a split

54:57

decision You know She fights like

55:00

once a year. She fought She

55:02

shot cats and got she's just

55:04

not that active. She fights about

55:07

once a year. She fights about

55:09

once a year And it takes

55:11

if not once a year, then

55:14

she takes like two years off

55:16

three years off like lost to

55:18

Chef Chanko took two years off

55:21

got a win took a year

55:23

off lost took a year off

55:26

got a win Basie took a

55:28

year off Beat a year off

55:30

Beat a man of Nunez took

55:33

a year off lost a man

55:35

Nunez took two years off, you

55:37

know, so she's just not active

55:40

and then you're fighting Kayla Harrison

55:42

that's are like odds are like

55:44

that I think you should be

55:47

I think Kayla should be like

55:49

a minus 220. It's offensive how

55:51

bad that is. Have you ever

55:54

met Juliana? Yes. In person? Yeah,

55:56

she's off. Savage. So remember Kayla

55:58

Harrison came to our office at

56:01

a naka? Yes. I remember thinking

56:03

like, how do she could just

56:05

like baby brokosner? Yeah. Oh, yeah,

56:08

she'll pick you up. Are they

56:10

kind of sworn to the same

56:12

size or no? Um, height-wise, yes,

56:15

built like, like, the straight up,

56:17

like, like, thickness, like, you know,

56:19

like, Kayla's fucking, that Judo back

56:22

guns, no joke, and she beat

56:24

Rhonda, and Judo, she's a fucking

56:26

monster. She's a fucking monster. Harrison's

56:30

great for the sport too. Good

56:32

person, good mom, Olympian, one of

56:34

the best, if not the best,

56:36

Judoka, you know, from America. Harrison's

56:38

a good story. Yeah, for Juliana,

56:40

I know she probably takes offense

56:43

to it, how low of a

56:45

dog she is, yeah, how big

56:47

of a underdog she is, I'd

56:49

rather say. But it's just because

56:51

she's not active in her best

56:53

win outside of Manda Nunez, which

56:56

people just don't give enough credit

56:58

for that is for Cal Pennington.

57:00

That's why. All righty. Here's a

57:02

quick one. Our boy, Andre Petroski,

57:04

posted this. Great poster. He posted

57:06

that he's fighting Edmund Shabazian, who's

57:09

on, he's actually doing well now.

57:11

In June 14th in Atlanta. Was

57:13

that young? That young contender we

57:15

just need to get some wins.

57:17

I love both these guys great

57:19

fight great fight great poster Patrowski

57:22

old school love it I used

57:24

to have this old school UFC

57:26

shirt I got one on the

57:28

ultimate fighter. God. I wish I

57:30

still had it. I still had

57:32

it so the USC one poster

57:34

is fucking sick Have you seen

57:37

that pride t-shirt with the hand

57:39

and like a thunderbolt? That's her

57:41

logo. Yes his pride I used

57:43

to make him I'm pretty sure

57:45

they might have it but I

57:47

look for it to you or

57:50

something I would love to have

57:52

one of those but they they're

57:54

gonna be of that cotton like

57:56

that crappy cotton stuff yeah I

57:58

know What should

58:00

make those? Okay, so this one,

58:03

uh, Kiyoji, it just was announced

58:05

recently that Kiyoji Horoguchi, who's a

58:07

bad-ass Bantamweight, is back in the

58:09

UFC. Yeah, great. And then his

58:12

teammate is actually Pantoja. Pantoja credits

58:14

Horguchi as the reason why he

58:16

actually, he's the reason why he

58:18

actually got a good, he said

58:21

he would be, it would be

58:23

a pleasure to fight Kiyoji, you

58:25

know, you know, to see. We

58:28

don't have to read all this,

58:30

but that's pretty much what he

58:32

said in that show. Jessica, I

58:34

remember her from the USC? She

58:37

signed with the BQFC. Jessica, I,

58:39

I's the BKFC. Yes, she does.

58:41

All righty. We went through this

58:43

already. Oh, this all, another quick

58:46

one. So this guy Mohammed Makayev,

58:48

who's bad-ass. We talked about last

58:50

week. He's fighting karate and karate

58:53

combat. So he's a wrestler. That's

58:55

not even the point here, but

58:57

he's finding some guy that I've

58:59

never really heard of, but what's

59:02

apparently supposed to headline this card

59:04

is Sam Elvie, your boy, versus

59:06

Tyrone Spong. Ooh, tough. Can you

59:08

imagine? I know, like, Tyrone Spong

59:11

is like, that's what he does.

59:13

Yeah, he's, he's been fucking guys

59:15

up forever. Yeah. You're like, Jesus

59:17

Christ, he beat him. He looks

59:20

so slow and clumsy, but then.

59:22

He lands. So there's like 18

59:24

kids on the farm and shit

59:27

and shows up for fighting and

59:29

wins. How funny. All right. So

59:31

this has to do with the

59:33

GFL. Verdume was supposed to fight

59:36

Frank Mir. Frank Mir has an

59:38

injury so he had to not.

59:40

No, Frank's coming off like hip

59:42

surgery or back surgery. So he's

59:45

on he's on blue scorpion, but

59:47

still. But because I do so

59:49

much because of that, uh, Verdun.

59:52

Basically implied that he has no

59:54

motivation to fight in the GFL

59:56

anymore because you know Frank was

59:58

actually motivation for him. Yeah So

1:00:01

he's not part of it. Good

1:00:03

for him. Yeah, but he's such

1:00:05

a legend, you know. He's just

1:00:07

not gonna stick around and fight

1:00:10

anybody. He's stuck. He's in shape

1:00:12

too. See his Instagram? Oh, yeah,

1:00:14

he got jacked. You don't want

1:00:17

those problems. This is pretty cool.

1:00:19

Brandon Royval versus Manel Cop. You

1:00:21

have C3.17. Is that the one

1:00:23

with Harrison and Penny on it?

1:00:26

No, that's three 16. Okay. Oh,

1:00:29

this is kind of silly. But

1:00:31

I'll just say it real quick.

1:00:33

So Eddie Hall versus, uh, Marius

1:00:35

Puginowski, they're going to do it

1:00:37

in May. Oh, by the way,

1:00:39

we, I thought that Eddie Hall

1:00:41

did, uh, MMA before, but he

1:00:44

didn't, he did boxing. So, Puginowski,

1:00:46

yeah. But Eddie Hall's, he's, like,

1:00:48

I'm just too big. Like, he,

1:00:50

his cardio can't last that long,

1:00:52

because he's so giant. Okay. Yeah,

1:00:54

Marius wanted five minute rounds. So

1:00:56

they compromised it and it's now

1:00:58

four and still obviously Eddie Hall

1:01:00

is like, damn, there's still two,

1:01:02

two rounds. Is it four, two

1:01:04

minutes though? I think it's four,

1:01:06

two, no, yeah. You know what,

1:01:09

is four, is it four, five?

1:01:11

I wanted two minute rounds. I

1:01:13

love it. Oh, so that's what

1:01:15

it is, not the round, it's

1:01:17

the minutes. Yeah. So, uh, so,

1:01:19

uh, his opponent wanted five minute

1:01:21

rounds. Nowhere near the nowhere near

1:01:23

the middle at four. I'm not

1:01:25

too happy. I want two minute

1:01:27

rounds because I'm so big My

1:01:29

fitness isn't gonna be anywhere near

1:01:32

his. Yeah, dude. I never fought

1:01:34

ever made before then don't do

1:01:36

it. It's how he's promoting the

1:01:38

fight I know it is a

1:01:40

lot more taxing on the body

1:01:42

So I'm trying to do one

1:01:44

minute rounds and get out of

1:01:46

there We have a adrenaline dump

1:01:48

all the car goes out the

1:01:50

window so four minute rounds is

1:01:52

a big ass for me Hey

1:01:54

man He's got

1:01:57

to be down to do the

1:01:59

tort of France on a motorcycle.

1:02:01

Obviously as an advantage of the

1:02:04

cardio, it's like, well, dude, then

1:02:06

don't do it. Work on your

1:02:09

card, it gets smaller. That's hilarious.

1:02:11

It'll be, it'll be three format

1:02:13

rounds in. But four minutes, it's

1:02:16

a long time. That sounds like

1:02:18

a lifetime to me. Like, for,

1:02:21

they have five fives. It's too

1:02:23

long to do anything. Yeah. I

1:02:25

don't know how you guys did

1:02:28

this shit. What else you got,

1:02:30

Doug? Oh, I'm sure you're bummed

1:02:32

about this, but rampage versus a...

1:02:35

I saw Rissaj post, his beautiful

1:02:37

dreads. They just couldn't figure it

1:02:40

out. Yeah, when I saw the

1:02:42

poster, I'm like, there's no way

1:02:44

this thing's happening. Yeah, so it's

1:02:47

because of the promotion though. I

1:02:49

guess they're not agreeing on the

1:02:52

contract. I mean, it's a money

1:02:54

thing, 100%. Do you

1:02:56

like his dreads or do you

1:02:58

like him with a shaved head

1:03:01

better shaved it same? Yeah All

1:03:03

righty just a couple I don't

1:03:05

know if you can even show

1:03:08

this but I'll show you this

1:03:10

is from the past weekend I've

1:03:12

never seen a cut like this

1:03:15

we've seen bad cuts before right?

1:03:17

Hmm you ready? That's his lip

1:03:19

and I don't know what the

1:03:22

hell that thing is right there?

1:03:24

fixing it up. So, yeah, I

1:03:26

had a horrible cut my leg.

1:03:28

They stressed that bitch up right

1:03:31

there. You'd be surprised how fast

1:03:33

he heals. He'll be fine. Yeah.

1:03:35

It just like, that's like the

1:03:38

nastiest one I've ever seen. Not

1:03:40

good. Okay, um, here's a quick

1:03:42

one. I think this, this is

1:03:45

Octagon, 69. This guy want to

1:03:47

fight, then kissed the guy in

1:03:49

the back of the head, and

1:03:52

then hump them. And then I'll

1:03:54

just show you what happened after.

1:04:04

Oh damn, oh damn, they went

1:04:07

out of the ring. You can't

1:04:09

be humping guys. I don't know

1:04:11

what the buildup was, but that

1:04:13

was pretty intense. Oh, the Donnie.

1:04:16

Yeah, that'd be humping lately, man.

1:04:18

Can you do? Dogs are gonna

1:04:20

dog. All right, dude, that's it.

1:04:22
