Episode Date: August 31, 2025

Darren Till absolutely destroyed Luke Rockhold in the main event of Misfits Boxing 2022 on Saturday in Manchester, England, and the finish of the fight saw Till deliver one of the scariest knockouts i...n the boxing ring in 2025. What is next for Till, and should Saturday mark the end of the combat sports career — at least from a striking aspect — of Rockhold? Following the event, MMA Fighting's Mike Heck and Jed Meshew react to the card, Till's big win, the possibility of Rockhold continuing on, and if Till vs. Carl Froch is the fight to make. Additionally, they discuss Tony Ferguson getting his first win in over six years with a very questionable TKO stoppage of Salt Papi in the co-main event, Dillon Danis making is look easy against Warren Spencer in his MMA bout, and more.

Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network. Hello, friends. Happy Saturday. We are here. Yes, I know you see a lot of familiar faces on that captive there, some of which you remember from the ultimate fighting championship. But this is not a UFC post-fight show. This is a misfits boxing post-fight show to get us all four of those gentlemen
Starting point is 00:00:40 who are heated today. Darren still, brutally. knockout Luke Brockold. Cody Ferguson gets his first win in six years. We'll apparently be talking about that. And how about Dylan Danes who also gets his first win in six
Starting point is 00:00:57 years? That's Ms. FitzGawking for you. Welcome to the Post-Fite show here on MNM8Fling.com. Hi, Mike Kacken, joining me to react to what we just witnessed on the zone. One of the most difficult cards to actually
Starting point is 00:01:13 watch because they didn't want to take our money at first, but we got to watch it to do it. Shed Bishu is here, and we'll be here for about 20 to 30 minutes to react to what just happened. Hi, Jed, how we doing? Do you had issues paying? I did not have any issues. So I didn't, that's the first I heard about that.
Starting point is 00:01:31 They took my money without issue. So at least I hope without issue. If I find out they charge me six times, I'm going to be pretty upset about it. But that was some stuff. We saw some things happen. Let's talk about it. Yes. Let's, uh, so let's just say a couple of years from now, Jedmishu, you're out in the town and someone comes up to you and says, oh yeah, you're the guy from M.A.
Starting point is 00:01:58 fighting. You probably watched that Misfits Boxing 22 event. Can you tell me about it? What's the first thing that's going to pop into your head? I mean, let's let's say that it's Darren Till, because that probably will be. That won't be the answer for everybody. I'm certain that, I mean, based on the chat, Tony Time. People are very excited about Tony Time. But for me, it'll be the Darren Till one because I've got some issues with the Tony fight. We'll get to that.
Starting point is 00:02:28 Look, was this surprising? No. The powerful left hand has long been the natural predator of Luke Rockhold. It's basically, if you go look at his resume, every single time he lost, it's because he got punched with somebody who can throw their left hand real hard. and Darren Till, for his mini foibles, he can throw his left hand pretty hard. But the way it happened was so unique because Luke really was winning that first round very comfortably
Starting point is 00:02:58 and then just gets, you know, blasted right at the end. And he was, I mean, the fight continued for a while after, but that fight was functionally over at the end of the first round. And then it did that thing that we talk about. We're like, I don't know. The referee certainly shouldn't have saved him. I don't know that his corner should have saved him. Kind of feels like maybe they should have,
Starting point is 00:03:21 but I'm not going to get on them for this particular instance. But the end was obvious. I was doing the live blog, and I was like, this is just a matter of when and how bad. We know what's coming. It is simply a question of what it will look like. And in the end, it looked really bad, Mike.
Starting point is 00:03:38 It looked really, really bad for old Luke Rockhold, who got folded up in half like a lawn chair through the, ropes, you know, just a tough out for him. One of the more violent knockouts you'll ever see. And so I think that'll be the thing I take away from this one. Yeah. I mean, as I'm watching this, I'm thinking back to one of our conversation on BTL when talking about Stephen Wynne, just beating the holy hell out of Muhammad Yahya.
Starting point is 00:04:08 And we're just like, sometimes your corner just needs to step in and just called this a day. Because that referee didn't even know what friggin' day it was. let alone he might be the worst referee I've ever seen in sports there were a couple on this card that were very very bad but man I mean after the first round I was like
Starting point is 00:04:27 this fight should not be going any further because Derek Luke Luke immediately got up and went to the wrong corner he had no clue where he was he had no business going back out there and fighting and then he just got dropped again in round two and the referee didn't call it a knockout
Starting point is 00:04:44 he didn't see the first to get knocked down. So Darren just keeps clobbered him. And then as he keeps clobbering him and hitting him with like a dozen unanswered 100% punches, the referee steps in and just like, what's even like a standing eight? Just like separated them.
Starting point is 00:05:00 He's like, enough with the punching in a boxing match. Stand over there. And then the round ends. And then the fight is over shortly thereafter with just that vicious knockout. So I think my biggest takeaway is that Darren Till seems to have found his home. I don't want to ever hear that man say,
Starting point is 00:05:17 I want to go back to the UFC. He needs to be in misfits boxing for the rest of his life and just keep making bags of money and keep knocking out dudes that people like you and I and a lot of people watching this right now know and sometimes loved at some points. And then
Starting point is 00:05:33 on the other side, Luke Rockhold should not be fighting ever again. Not in boxing, not in MMA. He should not be fighting anymore. This was, this is it. I know Mark Godd had put out a little bit of a tweet and I completely agree with them, Jed.
Starting point is 00:05:48 That should be the very last time we see Luke Rockhold in some sort of striking art sanctioned bout, right? I mean, sure. Like, I always think every fighter should retire because you'll make more money doing something else that won't
Starting point is 00:06:05 lead to long-term health defects. And, like, Luke is absolutely at the stage of his career where, because, like, all combat sports is you basically trading health points for money. But like at the stage, Luke's in his career, this is like a full-on exchange, like a video game. I will put this many, I will take some out of the health bar to get cash.
Starting point is 00:06:30 And so, you know, he's probably not going to stop. And it will say, to your point, Mike, like, Darren Till seems to have found a good home for himself. Credit to him. You know, Garsina Rosalstrike seems to have found a pretty solid home for himself. a dirty boxing. Mike Perry and Bear Nuckle, obviously. We're seeing these sort of nascent leagues pop up
Starting point is 00:06:51 and certain fighters find a really good home in them. I got to tell you, right? Like, if Luke retired, that's probably long term, just the best answer. People shouldn't forget that he did win in karate combat and maybe just straight up karate combat is a place he can have a little bit more success. This was never going to go well.
Starting point is 00:07:13 That's why this was always. weird to me. I know Luke tried to sell it and say, I've fallen in love with boxing, but like, boxing was literally always the thing he was the worst at in mixed martial arts. And so like going to the skill you are the least good at and have like not a great chin is just, and now you're going to fight a South Pole is like a total recipe for disaster. So like, I think everyone I think mostly saw this coming in general or at least probably thought Darren Till was going to win. I think it would be better if he retired.
Starting point is 00:07:47 But if he's not, go to karate combat. Go do the one thing where you've actually won a fight in the last decade. Because like, maybe that's something you can do. You know, maybe that is your niche that in the same way these other people have found theirs. Yeah. I mean, again, it's not going to be one of those things where Luke's just going to rush to retirement. There's money to be made in some way on that sports. So yes, do karate comments.
Starting point is 00:08:13 or do dirty boxing, where if you watched what happened with Brian, well, look, if you watch what they did with Brian Battle last night at dirty boxing, Luke Rockhold will look like the greatest thing that has ever lived. Brian Battle fought a dude who had no right fighting anywhere. Probably the worst fighter pound for pound on planet Earth fought Brian Battle at dirty boxing. That fight should not even have been sanctioned by any commission on this planet. you throw him in there. I mean, that's fine,
Starting point is 00:08:46 because dirty boxing will probably tee him up a fight that he'll easily win against somebody who's really bad at this. So you could do that. But yeah, I don't want to see him in any sort of like serious fight with anybody dangerous. That's for sure.
Starting point is 00:09:01 And on the Darren Till side, Carl Frotch is there. I have no interest of watching Darren Till fight. Carl Frotch. Do you? Like, I have, I want to see Darren in these. weird sort of freak show fun fights.
Starting point is 00:09:16 I don't want to see him fighting like a real boxer. I've no interest in that. Yeah, no. I mean, I know what that will look like and it won't be particularly fun. So no, yeah, this is, that's the thing.
Starting point is 00:09:29 We're talking like, Mike Perry is particularly well suited to bare knuckle fighting the way he fights. But like, Darren Till's success in misfits is that he's getting to fight people he's better than him in a sport he's better than the mat.
Starting point is 00:09:42 He hasn't had to fight like somebody who's better than him. He's fought, and like he hasn't even looked, lights out in all of those. Like Anthony Taylor posted today, it was like, I did better than Luke Rockhold and I'm, I'm like 40 pounds lighter than Daryntill. It's like, yeah, Daryntill fought a really small guy. He fought a guy who's not very good and he fought a guy who can't box and has a bad chin.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Like, that's keep doing that. Carl Forge is, you know, he's old, but like he dust him up. That fight makes limited to no sense. So, no, he should not do that. he should keep like the end game is very obvious for darrell he i don't know why he's trying to call a kov rock like it's i am trying to be a one of the guys who gets to fight ks i or i get to fight uh jake paul like that that's the point and purpose of his game and losing to a former boxing you know champion is not going to help you in that that pass yeah i mean let's just
Starting point is 00:10:40 keep doing try you mosterol again bro yeah yep that's that's a better chance for you i don't like the the carl thing was terrible call out no it's bad like i know there's a history there but no like the crowd who was like into everything when that moment happened they're just like eh i don't care that's just not what we want to see we don't want to see carl fredch in misfits boxing i want to see daren't till fight like haven't fight like matt brown or nate dyes or bazaol like somebody like that that's Fine. Like, let's just keep doing this. What we're doing here is perfect. Anything else is
Starting point is 00:11:18 promotion about practice. When I got a great deal on a great gift at winners, I started wondering, could I get fabulous gifts for everyone on my list? Like this designer fragrance for my daughter. It's just $39.99. How could I resist? This luxurious will throw for my sister. This gold watch for my partner? A wooden puzzle for my niece? Leather gloves for my boss? Ooh, European chocolate for the crossing guard? At these prices, could I find something for everyone at winners? Stop wondering, start gifting. Winners find fabulous for less. Let's talk about Tony Ferguson. I saw a tweet from our old pal Shaheen Al-Shadi, Jedmishu, who said, I never stopped believing. Tony Ferguson, eight-fight losing streak, leaves the UFC, enters misfits boxing, fighting Salt Poppy. And I got to
Starting point is 00:12:11 to tell you, I'm happy. I mean, I, I, you know me. If I'm wrong about something, if I feel a certain way, I'm just going to tell you how I feel. When this if I was announced, I was horrified for Tony Ferguson. I thought we were going to see him laying unconscious on the mat in a pool of blood. This is not going to be good. He was just going to get obliterated by it's all poppy. And we were going to feel real sad about it. And boy, after the first couple of rounds, I was like, yep, we're heading down a pretty dangerous path right now where Tony's just going to keep getting hit very, very hard by this guy. And then all of a sudden, Jed, Tony Ferguson just says, F it, I'm just going to move forward. I'm going to throw a million punches in a row. And he's
Starting point is 00:12:52 starting to land a little bit and saw Poppy's defensively sound at some point. He is getting hit, but he's defending himself. He knows what's happening. He's not rattled. He's not getting bombed on in a really sad, significant way. And then all of a sudden, the reference, free steps in and says, okay, we're, we're done here. And Potey Ferguson freaking wins. And I know I was, I don't know about you, but I was left standing like, what? Like, how did this end like that? Like, Salt Poppy was starting to break a little bit. You can, there's no doubt about it. But it just seemed like a super weird stoppage. Like, happy for Tody. But yeah, that, that was a questionable one.
Starting point is 00:13:35 I love this. There are two. ways to view this, right? Like, that's the worst stoppage I've seen this year and maybe like ever. It's like it's an indefensible action from the referee. Just it is, it would have been better to simply let
Starting point is 00:13:51 the fight continue much less like intervene and end it. But like if you're going to end it, it's a standing eight count. But even then like, just watch it. It's like actually that's Tony's not really landing. He's flurrying. So poppy's there in the corner and it's not like it went on for a protracted amount of time.
Starting point is 00:14:07 and everybody rational can look at them like that is terrible and that's really bad and the other half of people simply do not care and if they were trying to be rational they'd be like yeah that's obviously like an absolute crime it's travesty but Tony won and that was it this is this is that people want like desperately wanted Tony to win mostly people desperately didn't want Tony to get hurt and then he somehow pulls out a win You saw how much it meant to Tony fell to his knees crying, right? And so, like, it's not awful. Like, who cares if Saul Poppy takes his loss, right?
Starting point is 00:14:46 Like, this isn't affecting careers in meaningful ways. And so it's one of those things where, like, I think everyone's just not going to care. But that's legitimately like a, that is a travesty of refereeing and total nonsense. Because it was a five-round fight. Like, Sol Poppy had won the first two rounds if you give a standing eight, which still probably wouldn't have even been right. like it's entirely possible that So Poppy just sort of comes back he wins around like this goes he wins a decision
Starting point is 00:15:13 but nobody cares and nobody wants to care of like nobody is trying to look at this as like a sport because it's not and who wants to we're they are trying to look at this as Jed shut the fuck up Tony finally won don't don't pee in my Cheerios Tony won a fight for the first time since the first Trump administration
Starting point is 00:15:33 let let us have good things and so that's fine y'all can you all can have it uh but i will just say like that that was an absolute garbage stoppage it was atrocious it was very very bad uh as as t m may we're thrilled again to see tony get a win and you saw the clips the emotion that came over him getting a win it's a very big deal uh if you're a salt poppy fan you are like what in the freaking hell is going on here if you actually had the stones to bet on this fight card and you had a salt poppy bet you're really pissed off right now at the stoppage so that's why we don't bet on misfits boxing
Starting point is 00:16:12 ladies and gentlemen dude that stopper was so bad that my first inclination was that it was a straight up work uh and then i realized actually that referee is just atrocious but like it it's genuinely indefensible to be like the fight is over because the man had his hands up and was defending like if you want to stop and call a standing eight count, fine. But it's like not rational by any stretch of the amount. Like, look what the fuck just having to Luke Rockhold, bro? There wasn't a standing eight count and that. And he was getting just plunked around the ring like a pool ball, you know?
Starting point is 00:16:52 So like it's, it is indefensible. My first reaction was like, man, it feels like he might have done this to get Tony a W. And then you go back and watch you're like, actually, this referee just has no idea. was doing. Like, was utterly incompetent. So incompetent that they had to do the fighter announcement twice because the first time when it was announced that Tony Ferguson won by TKO, he didn't raise Tony's hand up. And it led to Ben trying to interview Tony and Tony being like, let me get my hand raised
Starting point is 00:17:23 and Ben's just like, oh, I guess you should do that. We already declared you the official winner. This referee does is fucking incompetent. So never put to malice what you can put to incompetence. The referee is obviously a moron and has no idea how to do his job. And he did a really, really poor job of it. Speaking of doing things like a moron and doing a very, very poor job, but maybe this was like the job to begin with.
Starting point is 00:17:50 Warren Spencer steps into the ring with Dylan Danis, Jed, in a mixed martial arts bout. And of course, Warren is not a mixed martial artist. He is a guy who has had boxing matches, mostly on the influencer scene or for some promotions you have never heard of. And he takes this opportunity and the fight starts and Dylan hits him and he throws a couple of punches. And then Warren Spencer does like literally the only thing you can't do and does it like five seconds into the fight. And he tries to grapple with Dylan Dennis and Daniel just chucks him to the crowd, mounts him,
Starting point is 00:18:32 and gillies him and the fight is over in 15 seconds, not a bead of sweat left Dylan Dennis's brow. 15 seconds, like, what the hell are we doing here? Is this just to set up Dylan versus Tody? Like, what was the point of even having this on the card? It's so silly, but funny as hell. They got Dylan to accept a fight, and he did. And I'll say, look, credit to Dylan Dennis.
Starting point is 00:18:58 You know, he's always been good at keeping his name in the headlines. He did a great job of that this week. And then did something I absolutely did not expect. He put Tony over, which is great fight business because he was like a really good chance he beats Tony at this stage. But Tony was asked about it. Clearly they were trying, misfits is trying to set up a Dylan versus Tony fight very obviously. And so Tony was asked specifically about it. Tony was like, money talks.
Starting point is 00:19:26 Dylan was already in the ring. Comes up, gets the mic. It's like, hey man, congrats on your win. doesn't do any shenanigans, right? Like, no nonsense from Dylan Dennis, which is like, maybe the first time you ever heard that statement uttered. It's just like, hey, man, great win. Congrats on it.
Starting point is 00:19:42 We should do it in MMA. Tony clearly is kind of like, and he's like down the line sometime later, but congrats, I'm going to get out of here. Like, the first time we've ever seen Dylan Dennis be classy. And also Dylan Dennis is out here, like, setting up a potential freak show fight with Eddie Hall. Like, right?
Starting point is 00:19:59 Like, he managed it really well. they Warren Spencer did what he was supposed to do he jobed like hell got over that they want to be in the Dylan Danis business and they are you know maybe one day KSI fights him in MMA we'll see but yeah I mean unequivocal winning weekend and week for Dylan Danis and you know Warren Spencer did his job yeah Dylan told our at Jose Youngs that you know he wants to prove to the UFC that hey I'm not a liability I can do these fight weeks and like sure I can I can I can I can can stir shit up to like sell pay-per-views, but I'm not going to do what I did with the Logan Paul fight and just embarrass the promotion or do anything like that. I'm going to go in there. I'm going to stir the pot in a promotional sense, not in an embarrassing situation. And it seems like he did that. He did a pretty good job this week. And apparently, Dylan and Tony are on stage together at the Post-Fight press conference. Jose actually spoke with both Tony and Dylan Dennis.
Starting point is 00:21:02 And you can go check those out on the YouTube channel right now. He was in the locker room, spoke with both of them. And Dylan and Tony apparently have gone to the post-fight press conference together on stage. So perhaps we will be discussing a potential matchup. So all right, those are like the big talking points. We did have like truly the funniest fight of the year. Oh, if I rocked, dude. That fight was fun as hell, man.
Starting point is 00:21:26 Oh, let me, uh, I just want to make sure I have this right. Joey Essex and what's his name? Numero. Numero? That fight was incredible. It was the boxing, influencer boxing version of Kevin Holland versus Daniel Rodriguez. Just two gassed up dudes getting hurt all the time but still punching for. It's the bar fight.
Starting point is 00:21:51 It's like the platonic ideal of a bar fight of two dudes who have no concept for how to actually fist fight. and suddenly they're fist fighting. Like that's like the whole like rough and rowdy idea was built on that fight and that fight was awesome. It was fun as hell. It was incredibly stupid and it was awesome. Yes. All right.
Starting point is 00:22:11 We'll take a few questions from the peeps before we get on out of here. Casey is here. Oh, ready? All right. Hi. I mean, we have things to do, Casey. Yeah, listen, you know, Ty Mitchell. We got stuff.
Starting point is 00:22:26 Yeah, I mean, look, we're not going to spend time talking about Ty Mitchell and Sean Hemp Hill fighting each other. It was a good boxing match, but we don't want to see good boxing matches on Miss Fitz Boxing. We want to see chaos. All right. Super chat from our friend Old Dave, and he's been very adamant about this, so much so he, he $10 super chat at us to make sure we get this opinion across. Here we go. We've seen it. He's not correct.
Starting point is 00:22:56 I love you guys with bad take care stop just like that have it in boxing all the time common narrative is referee shit error he called the standing eight count two literally two fights before with guys who who had less experience
Starting point is 00:23:12 than Salt Poppy like it's just it's a bad like this is one of the worst takes we've had all year I'm sorry old damn I love you but this is truly one of the worst is a very bad stoppage but nobody again nobody cares right
Starting point is 00:23:26 like I care about it in the principle of it, but I'm not like, this needs to be overturned. It's a bad stoppage of a nonsense fight on a circus event. Like, it's fine for that. Like, as long as that's where the bad stoppage is, but you don't have to carry water like John Milkey or whatever his name was, was good at his job. He was objectively terrible at it. But if you're going to be bad at your job, that's the way to be it. I like, if he had done, think of it this way. If he had done it the other way, If that's Salt Poppies win over Tony, everybody would have been losing their mind. 100%.
Starting point is 00:24:03 Tony might have had a chance. And it's just a bad stoppage. That's okay. We don't have to harp on it. But it's a bad stoppage. Yeah, it was very bad. But it's okay. Tony won.
Starting point is 00:24:13 And we got the outcome 95% of people wanted. Do you hear that crowd? I mean, I know that they were actually pretty lively for both. But Tony was the A side. People wanted it. They got it. Yep. Shaheen al-Shadi can finally go to sleep and sleep a full night.
Starting point is 00:24:32 He hasn't done that in years. Jed, we're going to, we could potentially be ending 20. If you think I'm gambling on on misfits, you are outside your goddamn mind. There's not a chance in hell I'd put money on these things. 100%. Jed, we could think about what Shaheen Al-Shadi is thinking right now. Think about this. And you know, in the back of your mind, you're thinking about this as well.
Starting point is 00:24:54 We could end the year of our Lord 2025. with a Tony Ferguson win and McKenzie Dern as a UFC undisputed champion. Shaheen, it would be the best year of Shihine's his hands poured down, Dave. I know, I guess,
Starting point is 00:25:11 I think he's talking about different fight. He's literally defending. He defended 75% of the punches. Yes, he got punched. That's boxing. He knew exactly where he was the whole time. His head never kind of went and did that thing.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Yeah, I was like, He knew exactly where he was the entire time. And then we saw the replay. It looked even worse, honestly. Yeah, he's literally, I'm watching a man who's seeing every punch coming and he's getting his arms up. And sure, there's a few that hit that landed.
Starting point is 00:25:42 But like nothing to hurt him. His eyes did not glaze over in any way. But, oh well. So you're using their wrong. In incorrect. That's right. There's always one. person. I mean, that's okay.
Starting point is 00:25:58 But it doesn't matter. Tony won and Shaheen al-Shadi. Tonight will be the best dinner of Shahihan al-Shadi's last four years. That apple pie, like the apple crumble that his wife made that he's been saving, they're breaking out. He's a honey,
Starting point is 00:26:14 go to the freezer, break out that special dessert. It's time. Tony Ferguson won't a fight. He's experiencing a joy that I was ready to experience until DDP got laid on for a long time. I'm so happy for him.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Bust out the 30-year-old Scotch. Let's go. All right. One more question from Joe Medina. Is Tony a smart choice for KSI's MMA debut? No, because Tony will beat KSI in an MA fight. So I don't... KSI is not going to put himself in a position where he will probably...
Starting point is 00:26:56 Not the worst choice. It's a bad choice for KSI. right good choice for tony it's a worst choice for kSI i don't know that it's a bad choice for kSI i mean tony should win that fight certainly but like tony looked old credit to him like for walking through some tony just looked real because he is he's 43 he's old man so like there are worse opponents you could pick and dylan dandis is probably a word like worse for kSI to fight in m m m mary than tony oh yeah So it's just like I mean if he's going to fight
Starting point is 00:27:32 MMA KS I just shouldn't fight MMA but like you could do a lot worse than Tony Yeah it's way It's way better on the east of You lose to Tony Ferguson Everybody will be happy about it I don't care
Starting point is 00:27:44 So honestly if he's going to do MMA That might be the move Yeah he should he just shouldn't do MMA Like you just shouldn't do it He should absolutely not You know what he should He should do it against Warren Spencer Let's do that.
Starting point is 00:28:00 Go do it against Warren Spencer, KSI. Do it, do it Dylan Danes did. Do you have anything else? Yeah, I think we're good. I think we're good. I think we've hit all the major talking points here. I had more fun than I thought I'd have tonight. I'll say that.
Starting point is 00:28:20 I had more fun watching this than, well, I mean, I had fun watching dirty boxing last night, but Jesus Christ, let me just say something to the dirty box book. It's a very important lesson. And it's when the UFC refuses to learn, but you really need to learn this lesson. Doing a 15-fight dirty boxing card is absolutely insane. Do not ever, ever do that again. We should not be watching dirty boxing for six and a half hours. It should be eight fights at the most, maybe 10, and get us out of here.
Starting point is 00:28:55 Because it was absolutely insane. There are things that I liked. There are things that I certainly do not like, but the thing I dislike the most 15 fights, this thing would not end. And it ended in a cool way, but 15 fights is way too many. So I will leave you with that. Yeah. So I'll say this for my first time actually watching a misfits card, like really watching it,
Starting point is 00:29:18 not just clips or whatever, I get the appeal. That's off. No, dude, they do good production. I've been on this fits dude for like most of its existence. They do a lot of really good things. Yeah. It's just not for me, but they're clearly not for me, and that's fine. You know, so, yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:39 You know, I don't agree with all their decisions. Certainly a lot of their fights aren't for me, but they do. These are obviously, like, real professionals putting on a promotion. It appeals to a certain demographic. And, like, I had a lot more fun tonight than I thought because I just wasn't that interested in the big fights, but they ended up being okay. Yeah. It was never boring. it was never just boring.
Starting point is 00:30:00 Yeah. So good job. Yeah. The only thing that was like, the only thing that was somewhat boring was like the highest level fight on the card. And it wasn't like, it was just because like this is not what we,
Starting point is 00:30:12 this is not why we're here, but two very good boxers had like a really good technical boxing match. And people were booing it. But they also did a thing that I always really appreciate. The misfits is really good about this. They do not lie to you. They lie. Every promoter, every commentator lies a little bit, right?
Starting point is 00:30:32 Like, overselling things. But, like, the UFC will just, their commentary team will just tell you something as good when it sucks. Like, the misfits team was like, oh, whoever the dude was was asking. It was like, so some people are tuning into this and this is terrible and they're hating every pit of it. What do you say to them? Like, yeah, they're pretty honest when the fights are stinkers, which I appreciate.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Yeah. All right. And just one more super chat. I'm not, I'm not, I don't even know. They're equals possessive. Their contraction, they are. Their positional location, call attention to being a lawyer makes you redline everything. I usually don't call people out on it, but when you take is bad and you do the same one twice,
Starting point is 00:31:22 I'll give anybody one free pass. If you do it twice within seven words, you're there. right, baby. I mean, what a way to do you? All right. Thanks all. Appreciate you. Yeah, we're just a little
Starting point is 00:31:38 literally the staff for the rest of the night, really, in terms of getting all the stuff done. So, A.K. is going to be back in a couple days, and Damon's going to be back, I think, in a couple weeks. So he's not like being next. Congratulations to Damon Martin and the Ohio State Buckeyes who defeated Texas today.
Starting point is 00:31:57 Yes, well done. And congratulations to the University of Georgia Bulldogs. You defeated mighty Marshall a billion to nothing. Wow, I mean, really just setting the tone with the difficulty meter. I mean, just classic college football. Yes, Randy Moss was not walking through that floor. I can assure you. Thanks, everybody.
Starting point is 00:32:25 I appreciate it for Jayce for Jed. I have Mike Beck. We're out of here. Have a great rest of your labor new weekend. I love you all. You're listening to the Vox Media Podcast Network.
