The UFC 286 Watch Party.
Watch along with MMA Fighting.com as the UFC returns across the pond for a pay-per-view event.
And after a shocking title win, hometown hero, Leon Edwards,
defends his Walterway Championship for the first time in the main event
against the man he dethroned in Camaro Oosven in a trilogy fight for all the marvel.
In the co-made event, former interim lightweight champion, Justin the Highlight Gathe,
looks to get back into title contention
as he takes on fellow fan favorites,
the surging Raphael Fizzis.
Live from the Vox Studios in beautiful New York City.
This is the UFC 286 Watch Party.
Yes, everybody.
Welcome to the UFC 286 Watch Party
live on the MMA fighting YouTube channel.
I am Mike Heck.
And sitting to my left, a very happy G.C.
Let's go.
Let's go.
In the T-shirt curse allegations, fight card by fight card.
What T-shirt curse?
You see how easy that was for my guy?
Yeah.
Download a little information in the first round.
Easy money in the second.
We're back.
Featherweight Jack Shores here.
I mean, as soon as we come on, he's getting his hand raised.
As good as it gets, I mean, I'm hyped to be here.
What a cool moment is Shetnaud's father who is very emotional right now.
Great win for Jack Shore.
That hat.
Fantastic win.
Absolutely incredible.
I mean, you are.
I'm copying our guy.
guys back here. If you, if you can see, we got the, we got the Queens Guard, the King's Guard here
to look over us. We're ready to go. I mean, pretty fun card so far. Hyped to get into this
main card. Yes. Of course, Jack Shore, I'm sure, is going to stand out to you as far as prelim
performances. But to me, the prelim MVP and fanmanship aside, it's got to be Jake Hadley.
Oh my gosh. The rib roaster that he landed, holy smokes. He made it look easy. I mean, that and
Muhammad Mahayev's toughness.
To not tap there,
insanity.
Insanity.
Yeah, his leg might...
Actually, Muhammad's leg might be the MVP.
Somehow, it didn't snap or break or anything like that.
I mean, we don't know.
Yeah, I mean, he seemed to struggle when he got up, but...
Yeah.
That was nasty.
Christian Leroy Duncan,
kind of an unceremonious ending, but...
I wish we got to see him shine a little bit more.
I wish we had to see him get a real finish.
My suggestion was we bring back Jordan Wright.
Yes.
And we do...
Yes.
CLD versus Jordan Wright.
Beverly Hills Ninja versus CLD.
Standing Bang.
I am down for that.
Fear chaos.
Joanne Wood back in the wind column.
She got it done.
Split decision against Luana Carolina.
Carolina.
She exercised some demons there.
Jai Herbert, Ladovitt Klein,
fight to a majority draw.
Weird fight.
Jai Herbert loses a point
for a low blow that
didn't really seem like a low blow.
So kind of a weird one there.
Veronica,
Hardy, three-year layoff.
She put the wood to
Juliana Miller. Yeah, she did.
And Frank, are you all right?
I'll be all right.
I mean, it was just not even really a fight.
Hardy took control.
Yeah, I mean, honestly, like,
Juliana Miller really just, like,
hunted for subs the entire time.
That was pretty much all she did.
To me, it looked like
Veronica Hardy had a great comeback performance,
and Juliana Miller had a terrible debut performance.
Like, it was, like, two opposite ends in the spectrum.
Like, it was just, it felt like, like, it was almost like, I mean, other than avoiding the submissions, it felt like easy work for Hardy.
So as a unit, the parley pals, is it better to lose the first fight and just be done with it?
Or would you rather win three and then lose the last one or lose a little bit later?
Has this happened before?
I'm starting to lose a little bit of faith in my teammates.
Topics.
My man went out there, got it done, easy.
I mean, I just keep putting winners out there.
man standing last week.
Yeah, I don't know, you know.
Thanks.
So who else was left on the docket?
As far as Leon Edwards and Casey O'Neill.
Who took Leon Edwards?
Who do you think?
Halani?
Let's just take a guess.
Wow, that is, I mean, I was wondering why that plus money was so high.
Oh, yeah.
Now that makes sense.
Oh, yeah.
I love it, though.
This will be coming on later.
Don't don't you worry about that.
Yes, it will.
Of course, this main card's going to kick off in a little bit.
Prelims just ended.
We're going to see.
Marvin Vittoria versus Roman DeLizze, kicking it off.
Very interesting middleweight fight that is flying under the radar.
Jennifer Maya, taking on the returning Casey O'Neill, step up in competition for King Casey.
We'll see how she handles it.
Gunner Nelson, it's death taxes, fights in March right around St. Patrick's Day.
It's a guarantee, no matter how long of a layoff he has, he comes back in March.
This weekend always seems to be his...
Excited for that one.
Versus Brian Barbarina.
Justin Gaichie versus Raphael Fiziv.
What else can you say?
It's so ridiculous.
I felt very highly that Chris Duncan,
Omar Morales, was going to be a very exciting fight.
We got D1 Duncan, unfortunately.
I was not expecting that.
As someone that watched a lot of his older fights this week,
I was not expecting him to go for the control time wrestling approach.
There is no chance that that happens in Gachy Fizzeve.
like they are going to have an exciting fight
Justin Gagee was asked if
he was
gonna be the first to shoot a takedown in the fight
and he was like yeah it's gonna be me
what if he'd tell me what if it happens
if we should take down like 50s like
but he's not gonna sit there and lay on physique
with the take down he's gonna try to
do something gnarly on the ground
yeah it's uh I mean it's guaranteed fireworks
in my opinion like Justin Gatchie is one of the most
exciting fighters in the entire USC
and he's getting a perfect dance
partner in Rafael Fazeev.
And of course, the main event, like the cold open sets, for all the marbles, the trilogy
fight, Leon Edwards, defending his title for the first time.
He gets the hometown fight.
Fans are into it.
They're chanting headshot dead, headshot dead all week long.
Leon is a star at the O2 Arena.
And he will defend against Kamara Usman, who is looking to get that title back.
He had it for a long time.
So we're in position for Kamara Usman, Jesus.
because it's not the first loss he's coming off.
It's the first loss he's coming off of in the UFC,
but this is the first time he is entering a fight
coming off of a brutal knockout loss.
Got absolutely deaded by Leon Edwards.
It's just a shocking moment.
Maybe the greatest highlight in the history of the UFC.
What have you noticed about both guys
from press conference demeanor,
the final stare down?
I know you're not a psychologist or a body light.
I'm not a huge body language guy, but one of the things is it's felt like Kamaro has been so calm in the lead-up,
and then it felt like once this week hit and once the pressers hit, you can see how much the loss bothered him.
It feels like he is really coming out here for revenge.
But I just have so many questions, like, when it comes to it.
Like, he is coming off getting his consciousness separated from himself.
Like, he was out as cold as you can possibly get.
Like, how do you come back from that at the age?
age that he's at. We know he's had the issue with the knees. Like, is he going to be the same old
Omar Usman? Is he just going to be incredibly motivated? Like, I felt like there was like two ways this
could go. Either he comes out here and he just does not look like the same guy as old. He's timid,
like he's watching out for it. I don't think that that's going to happen. I think it's going to be
more like when Zhang got head kicked by Rose and then came out in the next fight and it was a highly
competitive, very close fight that went all five rounds. It's just so much that goes that's going
into this because it's not just that.
Camaro has had to fly all the miles.
It's in Leon's hometown. He's going to listen
to Leon's fans. This is
brand new territory for
Kamara Rusman. This is, I mean, fighting in
MSG is there's a lot of pressure, but when you have
17, 18,000 people
screaming for your demise,
it's a different feeling for him. And one of
the things that I'm looking forward to the most
from tonight is Leon Edwards
walkout. I think it's just going to be an incredible
scene. He's the A-side
in this fight. He's fighting out of the right corner.
He gets to go second.
The crowd gets to take him in.
He gets to take in the crowd.
I think it's going to be absolute scenes.
And while that's happening,
Camaro Usman is going to have to be standing in the octagon waiting and like hearing,
wow, this entire place is against me.
And like you said, it feels like it's foreign territory for him.
There's just so many questions that are going to get answered.
I love it.
I can't wait.
As far as the stakes for this fight goes, I mean, obviously it's the trilogy, the title's on the line, all of that.
Jed on BTL and on the preview show feels like a loss for either guy isn't really devastating.
It stings, but it's not overly devastating.
There's no gray area because it's either that side or you're on the complete opposite side
where a loss just rushes both dudes.
Not to interrupt you, but.
Camaro Usman with the like silver leopard jacket is.
I love it personally.
I think that's, I think of style.
I'm down with that.
He looks ready to go.
He looks ready to go, man.
I would not mind a almost a forgot moment from Kamar Lu's Mon.
I mean, we're trying to go two for two on the T-shirt, Kirsta.
I don't know if you notice.
This is a Nigerian soccer jersey.
And if you look at the back here, if you look at the back,
as I knock everything over, there it is.
Yeah, nightmare on the back.
One day, I tape cables to the back in your shirt.
Listen, Frank, we like showing, we like breaking the fourth wall.
You got to see the production and what goes into it.
Nightmare on the back.
I've had this for a while.
Yeah, I mean, like, as I was getting really into the UFC,
Camaro Usman was obviously ascending,
and I would just throw him in every parlay.
And, like, I had never lost up until this last time.
So, yeah, I'm a Kamara Usman supporter.
I've been on Usman since this rematch has announced.
I'm like, all right, Kamar is going to win.
He's going to be a decision.
It's going to be kind of what we saw in the first fight,
but he's just not going to get kicked in the face this time.
As each day and each hour gets close,
closer to this fight, I found myself completely changing my mind yesterday. And I jumped on Leah.
I just feel like it's one of the, like everything, all the questions, all the intangibles,
everything is pointing towards Leon Edwards right now. I understand that they have fought for 40 minutes
and Kamara Usman has won like 38 plus minutes of those fights. He's won. He dominated the first fight.
One, two, three, and four very comfortably in the second fight. Liam had a great first round.
in the second fight,
and then Uson was probably about to win a 49-46
before getting kicked in the phase.
Now, I presented this to you earlier,
just kind of a question,
it was just a thought that I had.
Because of the dominance that Camaro showed
through the first seven rounds of the two fights,
is there any world where Leon is like,
man, he did kind of have my number up until that head kick,
like, man, I really pulled that one from the fire?
Or is he just like, nope,
That was my worst night.
That was his best night.
And I still got the win.
Now I'm just going to run right through him in front of the home crowd.
I mean, we're not going to really know the answer until they get in there.
But the way Leon has carried himself this week, it seems like.
Yes, it feels like confidence is through the roof.
Like he just is just like, what can you say, man?
Like, I had kicked you into the shadow realm.
Like you were, you were dusted.
Like, it's like, there's no reason for me to not be confident.
What if Kamar Uspen loses?
Like, where did you go?
I really do wonder with the knee.
problems that he has and him getting up there in age if he considers retirement.
Yeah.
I mean, is he going to go fight Shafcott, Rockbonoff?
Like, is that what he's going to do?
It feels like the road back at that point isn't just, all right, go win one fight,
and then you're right back in it.
And if Leon loses and Kamar regains the belt, maybe he fights Belal Mohammed,
Colby Covington showed up.
By the way, if I'm Kumar.
I'm going up.
That was pretty wacky.
Which is insane.
And if I'm Belal Mohammed, I am.
so pissed about that. I'm so angry
about that. And Balal's best
chance to get a title shot is if
Kamara Usman wins this fight and wins like
a Kamara Usman-ish decision.
It's probably the best case scenario.
But I don't know, man, if I'm Kamar Usman,
I'm getting on that microphone
and I am going for the red panty
night. Even before he fights Michael
Chander, I'm going all in. You're saying, give me
Connor McGregor at Welterweight. Yes.
So you're saying Connor McGregor beats Michael Chandler
gets the Walterweight title shot. Now, me
as somebody who will be sitting in this chair
when this fight happens, I'm not going to be all that excited about that fight.
But if I am Kamar Uspin, last leg of the career, you have the biggest star in the history of
the sport saying, I want to fight for the Welterweight title if I beat Michael Chandler.
If I'm Usman, I'm not calling out Balaamah, Muhammad.
I'm calling O'Connor.
Because that's literally, like, what else is there for him?
Call it Shafcott.
Get him while, get him while he's still kind of on the, I think Shafcott is here.
But if you're going to get Shafcott, probably now's the time to do it.
because if you give him another fight or two,
he's just going to get more and more dangerous and devastating.
So it'll be interesting to see where he goes.
But as far as, I'll get your take on that.
But also, on the Leon side, it took him forever to get to this point,
to get a title fight.
And if he wins, a whole bunch of weird, interesting doors open up.
Maybe Connor.
Belal Muhammad is out of the title picture for a long time.
If Leon wins this fight, which is insane and it's not fair.
but you got Connor, now you get Colby back in play,
and Dana said he's right up there.
Mazadol Burns are fighting April 8th.
You know if Jorge Mazadol wins that fight.
They're going to try to get that three-piece
into soda part two thing going.
It just creates all these different opportunities.
But if Leon loses, what do we do?
Let's go back to the Connor thing.
Yeah.
Say Connor's there.
He made a claim that he was going to be there in person.
We saw him, you know, down in our neck of the woods in Georgia
yesterday for St.
Patrick's Day.
Say he is there tonight.
I mean, he's got, you know, any way he wants to travel.
He gets to travel that way.
So he is there tonight.
Kamar Usman wins, and he does.
He looks over.
He says, you will take care of business against Michael Chandler after tough,
do whatever you got to do, and then come fight me for the belt at 170.
Do you think that's more appealing than trying to fight at 155 against Islam Makashv for Connor McGregor?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, it was almost a rhetorical question.
I feel like that.
I mean, that's a terrible.
It's probably a
I think
a terrible stylistic matchup to.
I don't think either of them
are favorable matchups
for McGregor.
But at least like
Islam is smack dab
in the middle of his prime
right now
and he's like he hasn't
completely peaked yet.
What do you think odds
would be on
on Islam Makashov
versus Colin McGregor?
Minus 550
open and then
I'm thinking
something like that.
I'm thinking something like that.
It just is just
not a good matchup for him.
But Usman's kind of
on the last leg here.
He's still very good.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean like
let's not get it twisted.
It was only five months ago that he was up
three rounds to one going into the fifth round.
It's not like he's completely washed.
I mean, my biggest concern is like
how you come back from headshot head.
In London.
Yes, yes.
In London. Like, it's a tall task.
You guys want to get a chat back going?
Yes, I was just going.
I was just going to bring your stuff for it.
We might as well let the chat decide.
All right.
Rotary, Roman Delete, it's sick fight.
Roman Delete, three straight women.
all as an underdog in the last nine months.
So we'll let the chat decide this.
Is there a way, is there a direction
that you would like to sway the chatters here?
Are you leaning on one side of the other?
It feels like Vittori should win this fight.
I mean, this is easily DeLite's toughest test.
This is not Kyle Dawkins.
This is Marvin Vittori, a guy that's fought for the belt twice.
But also, dude, it's hard to go against Roman DeLizzi.
when in the span of six months he cashed as an underdog three times, all by finish.
Like, I mean, the way that he finished Jack Hermanson was, like, lethal.
So, yeah, I ride with, I trust the chat.
I ride with whatever the chat says.
This screams Vittori decision to me just because...
His biggest asset, Marvin Vittory, is not him being, like,
maybe a couple skill levels above the Leitzay in some areas.
It's the head.
The block head and just not being able to get finished is his ultimate,
weapon against a guy that utilizes finishes to get wins.
Yeah.
I mean, on the ground, things could get really interesting.
Robert Whitaker put the wood to him and couldn't get him out of there.
And that was like the most vulnerable I've ever seen Vittori in an actual fight.
Oh, yeah.
Because Whitaker just beat the hell out of him for 15 minutes.
And the man just doesn't go down.
He doesn't go down.
And maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm underestimating Dele.
But it feels like Whitaker Deleite.
Like this feels like the step up for Deleite and the step.
down for Marvin. Oh, like, for sure. If this, if this fight doesn't go to the cards,
Roman Deleizze wins, and it's going to be a stunner. And he gets a giant boost from this.
That's what I'm saying. If Roman DeLite wins this fight, like, where do we start going? Like,
this man. He fights DDP. Number one contender fight. Winner gets a title shot and I am in love
with that fight because it's just a meme fight waiting to happen. Like, it will be absolutely
ridiculous, but the fact that Roman DeLite could go from being a plus 2-10 against Kyle
Dawkins and then in 12 months be fighting for a title is insanity to think about.
That's insanity.
He was fighting on the undercard of UFC Austin against Kyle Dawkes as a plus-2-10
underdog in June of last year.
And we're talking about number one contender fights if he wins in the next 20 minutes.
It's crazy, dude.
You know what?
Like compare his rise to this spot potentially.
beats Vitori to Alex Pereira's,
Roman DeLides is more impressive.
Like, it undoubtedly, it's more impressive.
Like, when Pereira got in,
they, I mean, they beautifully matched
for him to get him to the, to the Izzy fight.
And now we're going to get the rematch
April 8th, three weeks from today,
as a matter of fact.
Massive fight in Miami.
We'll be right here.
We'll be right here.
Good, palm trees, maybe some sunglasses.
That's going to be a good one.
Some beach chairs?
Oh, yeah, maybe you throw these things out
out for some beach chairs.
I'm down for that.
We're working this thing out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, three weeks.
First you get the watch party, then you get the power.
Oh, I like that.
I like that.
I like it very much.
Maybe some, you know, Miami festivities, Frank.
Say one more time.
Some Miami festivities.
Yeah, of course.
It's the only way to do it.
Only way to do it.
We're checking the chat, but standby.
Yeah, what do we think?
Maybe we'll have some pink prime energy drinks.
Right back there.
Some tropicals.
Maybe pink and blue, you know, that'll be the theme.
I love it.
I love it.
These things are incredible, by the way.
in there, crack in a can't do it.
I drank one last watch party, and I was,
there was one moment where, like, I was like,
my heart is beating, like, a little too fast here.
I think what I did wrong last time is I had a big,
giant Dunkin' Donuts black ice coffee that I brought in here.
Yes, you drank that first.
And then cracked open a prime,
and then halfway through the watch party,
it cracked open another prime.
That was one drink too many.
Yeah, that was one drink too many.
I'm trying to keep it simple here.
Keep it simple.
We got five fights ahead of us.
So for chatbett, we're picking Fighter and Method of Victory.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
Where are we at right now?
What's winning?
So far, it's Marvin.
Marvin?
I mean, there's only one way to go.
Let's shut it down.
But we haven't actually closed it yet.
Oh, okay.
You can keep it open for a little longer.
Is it a wide gap?
They haven't even made a, they haven't even made the walk.
Checking the gap.
Mind the gap.
60%.
Am I right or am I right?
Are my right or am I right or am I right or what?
They're exactly right.
Have you guys been to England?
No, I haven't.
I would love to go.
Yeah, and they really do mind the gap instead of, you know.
Yeah.
Yeah, instead of watch your step, huh?
Well, no, what does it they say out here?
Staying clear of the closing doors?
Yeah, there you go.
We'd love to go to England.
Would love to go to England for a fight card, too.
I think that would just be absolutely incredible.
Yeah.
Frank, have you been in England?
I have, yeah.
It's a lot of fun.
I recommend it.
I would love to go.
I've not really done any international travel.
It is final, Marvin by decision.
All right, here we go.
By decision, minus 1.35.
I mean, that's...
You'd like to see a plus number there, but I mean...
I'm just putting 10 on it.
Nothing crazy.
We'll build up something.
We win this one.
We free roll it into the next fight.
Into the Jennifer Maya versus Casey.
Oh, yeah.
That one could get spicy.
Really interesting fight.
It gets spicy.
I listened to No Betts Bard.
Oh, thank you.
I listened to No Bettsard.
Great program, by the way.
Thank you.
Tremendous program.
How's the editing on that?
Pretty good.
I don't know, man.
I have nothing to do with it.
Keep going.
Are you the editor of that program?
He wants to be. He wants in.
He wants to get in on the ground floor, baby.
I mean, I don't blame you.
Listen to No Betz Bard and you could also lose your money.
Please, everyone stop telling me.
I'm cursed in 2023.
It really is incredible.
By the way, the beginning of No Best Bard, the man who turned a dollar into...
Yes, that was incredible.
We found out about that bet last time.
The $1 into $400,000, 6th-like Parlay, we talked to him.
It was, I mean, he's got six kids.
He's, like, looking to move into a new house.
Like, it's, like, an incredible story
and just, like, hearing, like,
the breakdown of, like, him and his wife
watching it together is incredible.
Because he got 72,000 from the Alexa Grasso
submission round four,
and then turn it into 400,000
when John Jones got the submission.
So it was, yeah, crazy, dude.
I just don't know how that doesn't inspire,
like, anybody who listens to that show
to put a dollar bet on a bunch of rando rounds
and methods and all that.
He, I mean, he still does it.
I was like, dude, you're good to just, like, retire from MMA betting.
Like, you won the game.
Like, it's over, dude.
Like, you're the king.
And he's like, yeah, no, I still throw him in from time to time.
I mean, that's...
I guess I would, too, if I won $400,000.
He's like, in fact, I'm doing $400,000 to $1,000 bets.
Well, what if he was just like...
Actually, I'm just doubling it down, 400,000.
All on one other part of it.
Yeah.
He just puts it all on one, and it was actually...
Juliana Miller was the first leg of the parlay.
This is going to be a fun watch party,
because there are some elements that we didn't have last time
that we were going to have this time.
Oh, yes.
Obviously, we are lovers of the London cards,
got the Queens Guard, you know,
we got our guys back there watching us.
Not only that, we got to try some local fare.
Yes.
If there's anyone from the UK watching,
we got Percy Pig, some gummies right here.
We got some monster munch, pickled onion.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, I got some...
Do you get any of the prawns?
I got wine gums.
Frankie, I know you wanted the prawns.
So what I do, I got you the prawns.
100% real great British potatoes.
Look at these things.
I mean, prawn Supreme, never had them.
I've never had wine gums.
It would sound interesting.
Oh, yeah.
We'll have some maltisers.
They look like...
Woppers.
Woppers?
I'm not a huge wopper guy, so I'm interested to see if I like these things.
Jamie Dodgers?
Everyone loves a good Jamie Dodger.
Those look delighted.
These actually look like really good.
I'm really looking forward to these.
That looks like all we got for the snacks, but then they made it, guys.
They made it.
Yeah.
Just a little too late.
We got a hobby box open.
We got to rip some packs.
Sounds nice.
Sounds like wishless material.
Oh, I hear something good in here.
Maybe a one of one.
Maybe a one of ten.
I feel like something.
Maybe a disco prism.
I feel good about this.
We're going to open this later.
That's going to be fun.
Game.
I'm going to put you to work again.
Yeah, you probably will.
I'm looking forward to it.
We'll have some special guests along the way.
Shaheen Al-Shadi will return.
Usually when he comes on, weird and crazy things happen.
So that's always exciting.
He'll be on for the co-main event.
I mean, you already know who it is.
Rapville Vaziv.
And the M-E-R, bro.
Main event, Rick.
And main event, Rick.
New York, Rick, will join us for the Welterway title fight.
I will say this.
Working on something pretty cool.
No guarantees.
Okay?
I'm playing the Haldane
Planta C. I was going to say, just
a few days ago, there was something
that happened in this room that was
similar to what you're cooking up here.
I like the idea of that
I got, he had luck
in his action Bronsonson. Oh, nice.
I got my action Bronsons now.
All right. I will say.
Love the laces on him, Frank.
I'll say this.
Can't losing these shoes.
On Thursday, I was like 95%
confident this was going to happen.
Yesterday was like 85%
All right, the way you're teasing it up.
Today, I'm a little, you know,
the way you're teasing it up,
today I'm still kind of confident.
If it doesn't happen, if it doesn't happen,
do we tell the people what it was?
No.
Oh, wow.
Okay, I really hope that happens then.
I don't know.
We'll see how things play out.
But Roman DeLidezze is walking to the Octagon,
and I think we should play some trivia.
Let's do it.
I think we should do a little Marvin Vittori
versus Roman Deleadze trivia, Frank.
Are you feeling about some trivia, dude?
I mean, that's the whole reason I come in on Saturday is.
Yeah.
Frank,
between these two gentlemen,
this fighter was inspired
to compete in mixed martial arts
because of watching
Fador Emilianenko pride fights.
It was Vittori.
G.C., do you agree?
Roman DeLite seems like he's got that
a dog in him. Plus he's 34.
I'm gonna go Roman Delita.
The correct answer,
Barb and Vittori, Circle gets the square
for Mysterious Frank.
G.C., while both fighters
have each won three UFC
post-fight bonuses, only one has done it with all performance of the night bonuses.
Roman Delica.
That's too easy.
Correct.
It is Roman Deliza.
Way this guy gets finished.
Thank you, Frank.
Thank you.
Appreciate it, man.
This fighter, Frank, was a professional goalie for three years playing soccer before making
the move to MMA.
Goalie and soccer?
He was a professional soccer goalie.
Football.
Ah, nice, nice, Frank.
There's Delitz.
I'm going to go Vitori.
Blockhead.
Mysterious, Frank.
You are correct.
It is Roman Delizze.
Let's get the...
Italian?
Italian, too.
And last question.
Italian dream?
Not playing football?
G.C.
Ready for this?
Please.
This fighter's first five professional victories
all came via
first round submission.
Oh, man.
Deleiz.
But it feels too obvious.
Frank.
Vittori.
Yeah.
Frank?
Oh, no.
You are correct.
It is Marvin Vittori.
It was too obvious.
It was too obvious.
It is Barb and Vittori.
There he is.
The blockhead himself.
The Italian Dream.
That was my excited song.
Sorry.
Marmator.
I was hoping you made a weird edit that was like...
No, that would not be fair to talk.
Was that?
Oh, did I hear the Tommy Votori.
Marvin Votori.
He, Marvin Barcl.
Just doesn't have the same reason.
No, it's not even close.
Dewey Cooper in the corner.
I'm going to be doing a lot of hydrating on today's show.
Yes.
There you go.
Oh, why?
Running a half marathon tomorrow.
That's a boy.
Terrible decision.
Post-paper view.
Nice half marathon.
Bright and early.
Down in Brooklyn.
Going to be great.
Wake up early, stretch.
Put some tape on perhaps.
Oh, speaking of tape.
Oh, better in the cage.
Great call.
Let's go to the tail of the tape for this.
interesting middleweight matchup.
One-time title challenger, Marvin Vittory, looking to stop the surge.
And...
Great job on this, friend.
Defeatheuron Raleizze.
There he is.
Marvon Vittory, five years younger, two inches shorter, two inches behind in the reach advantage.
Both men made weight like absolute professionals.
I mean, does it get any more professional?
Speaking of professional,
any more professional than this way.
It's unbelievable.
I mean, the sink is something.
divine literally the pay-per-view and ours I have to say we got to do it first it seems like
they did it so I don't want to I don't want to say anything there oh Bruce is nice that blue is
fantastic that looks like he looks like a that's that looks like a that looks like a smoking jacket oh yeah
like like half style oh yeah it looks looks so fantastic they showed I wasn't able to pay full
attention but they showed some something where he got like tailored while he was out in London
Yeah. And John Annick said, uh, suit shop. Yeah, Annick said, I won't reveal the price tag, but it was way out of our price range. And Bruce, Bruce got some cash.
Ah, yeah. Especially not just, not just, I mean, his brother Michael is like a genius with, you know, uh, trademarking catchphrases and whatnot. But also he's been a part of the UFC forever.
Bruce Buffer is like the epitome of irreplaceability. Like he is someone's going to have to step in, but it's just not going to feel the same after a while. And then he's like, he's got, he's got.
all these things. He's got his own cologne. He's got his own rum.
Like, the man knows how to make some money. That's for sure.
Stays in great shape and inspirational, Bruce Buffer.
He's a professional poker player. He's making like final tables of the World Series of poker.
Dude is...
Wouldn't see him having a poker face, man.
I mean, he's probably just so nice.
It's like playing with that. Who's the dude from Everybody Loves Raymond, the big giant guy?
I don't know his name.
Brad, uh, Brad something.
Like, if you sit down and play poker with him, you're going to take him seriously?
Exactly.
You're just going to be like, wow, playing with the big dude from everybody loves Raymond.
Exactly.
Take your whole bankroll.
That's what Bruce can play a little bit.
Vittori looks like he's about to jump on a slip and slide right now.
Just so excited.
He's been fighting some.
He's looking for the fist bump.
He was waiting for a minute.
Bruce finally hit him at the end.
He's been fighting some tough competition lately, man.
Yeah.
It's getting no easier tonight.
Here we go.
It is about that time.
We're going to have a clock.
Run away.
Clock on the bottom, if you're watching with us,
if the paper view broadcasts ahead, just pause for a few seconds.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We'll sink it up together.
Sink them up.
And if you're watching this after the fact, you can do the same thing.
521 here on the East Coast.
Here we go.
I love it.
I love that.
I mean, a little happy hour fights, it's great.
St. Patrick's Day weekend.
We got the people out in New York going crazy.
We're on the way.
The lead say, let's get it.
Savannah Airport is the busiest I've ever seen.
I can only imagine, man.
It's madness down there.
The fight of the shoulder tattoos.
The shoulder tattoo battle.
I dig both these tattoos.
I can't lie.
I know you're an ink enthusiast, Frank.
The London crowd is fired up there singing.
Can we talk about Delizze?
Like, he looks pretty calm in there.
He does.
But I'm no body language expert.
He does look pretty calm.
I am no body language expert.
Victoria Land had a nice body kick right off the bat.
Ooh, nice right hand from Delizzee.
Oh.
Delizade.
Land in a combination.
Oh, he's got Vittori backpedal him,
but Vittori with the,
no, he's smiling.
With the smile.
The smile or is it a smirk?
I mean, he's.
Votory's starting to brawl a little bit,
which is not really good.
I don't think that's a good idea with Roman Dulce.
What Roman's doing really well is he's kind of keeping his place in the center.
He's not letting Vittori pulling him back against the fence.
Can we talk about how on fire Georgian,
MMA is. Oh man.
After Marab and
we have you get Ilya at some point getting ready
to come back. Now this is
getting into a
Vittori-ish fight right now
and a pace.
Deleuze trying to get some. There's the
body kick from Vittori.
Action's slowing down a little bit. Mark Goddard
watching very intently. I mean
very intently. You got to love the hands
just like this. He's saying to himself,
come on. This is a home crowd
for Goddard, no? Yes.
Oh, yeah, he's got to be hyped up about it.
Maybe that's why the crowd was singing.
They're shooting for Mark.
Oh, nice left fan for Marvin.
Frank is the ref guy.
You got to be loving Mark Goddard in there.
Goddard is amazing.
Who's your favorite?
Who's your Mount Rushmore of M.M.A.
Ruffs, Frank.
Yeah, if you could, please, Frank.
Hmm, I have to give back to you on that.
Let me think about it.
It's just too tough.
There's just too many good ones.
Give us one name that's definitely going to be on the list.
It begins with an H.
Oh, no.
Not hokey pokey, Herb.
It's got to be Herb.
Why you call him hokey-pokey?
Sometimes he's out to see blood.
Sometimes he's not.
It depends.
Get back to us when you have the rush more, man.
I'm looking forward to this.
Just make a decision.
Like, if you're going to stop the fight, stop the fight.
No, left-hand end, left-hand out.
Oh, nice right hand from Vick's glory.
DeLisei answered.
This is, I mean, not really much in the grappling department.
I thought we'd see a little something, something.
These guys are just slugging.
All right.
Nice left from Vittori.
I wonder how many people that that initial sequence from DeLite's A Puts out.
A whole bunch. A whole bunch.
I mean, you could, if you hit this man with a sledgehammer, Marvin Vittory,
it's really just like, he's like a middleweight Drew Dober, but not as, like, finesse about it.
Drew Dober quite literally eats an eye poke.
Yep, we got an eye poke, I believe.
Marvin Vittory just kind of survived.
and it just doesn't even seem to bother him.
He's not happy.
Let's see.
Oh, flashed head.
All right, yikes.
Right in the mouth, dude.
Oh.
Yeah, that ain't feeling good, bro.
My guard saying, hey, take a moment.
I know.
That's my favorite thing is, like, obviously, like,
the adrenaline running.
Yeah, the adrenaline's running.
Like, Marvin Vittoria's not going to take the five.
It's like, you think this hurts?
Do you know who I am?
Yeah.
freaking the Italian dream.
Rome putting his hands down,
getting a little confident.
I like it.
Like seeing him loose like this in the feet.
Oh, nice jab from Delite.
Honestly, if it goes to the ground,
I don't think Delite is going to have a problem there as well.
Whoa.
That was a nice left hand from Vittori.
Light kick from Delizzi.
This is fun.
This is like way more fun than I thought it was going to be.
What Delizzi is putting out there.
This is just so funny to watch strike.
It's so effective,
but it's just, it's rock'em-sock him.
Oh, yeah, dude.
Oh, big right here from Roman Delizade.
Oh, another one!
There's no way.
Like, he's just going right through these.
He's having no issues with this.
Marvin's still, like, defending, and he's getting angry.
Oh, my God.
Wow.
He's not a human being.
Oh, good left from Roman Delizzi.
Right on top of the head.
Delizza is just uncorking this thing, man.
I love it.
Oh, I love it.
Love that kick to the body right there from Roman to Leedsay.
Left hand from Vittori.
Vittori's still fighting back.
This has been an awesome first round, Frank.
It's close, too.
It's real close.
I think I'm going to Leza.
I think something crazy happens in this last 10 seconds.
Nice left hand from Roman.
Ooh, ooh, dude.
No one connected there, but that was a lot of big swings.
Marvin needs to get himself some respect on the feet because
Roman doesn't even have any respect for our Votori's strike.
Dude, I am going Georgia.
Big surprise.
Wow.
I mean, I stand with my brothers, Frank.
Come on.
109, Roman.
George 109.
Let's go.
Okay.
One round in the books.
You just can't get Marvin out of there.
No, no, dude.
Those, there was like,
DeLi probably landed like 38 punches
that would have hospitalized me.
And, like, Marvin,
The documentary just goes right through him.
It's incredible.
Marvin throws punches like 10% of the city.
I was pretty excited for this fight.
The first round exceeded my expectations.
Yeah, this is fun.
I kind of hope there's just no wrestling or grappling.
I didn't expect much from...
Despite the chat that, I hate to do it to the chat.
I think I'm cheering for Roman.
What's the live odds right now?
Oh, good call, man.
Let's take a peek.
Look at you, man.
I mean, yeah.
You have to think they've gone down a little bit.
That is effing teamwork.
That is teamwork, as today's team would say.
Ah, here we go, round two.
Wow, Roman deletes, minus 165.
Wow.
Wow.
He was a big underdog going into this.
I was hoping he'd still have a plus tag on him, like a small one.
Yeah.
I mean, the chat just got me to pay minus 135 for Vittori by the suit.
Oh, now we got the Marab tweet on this team.
Yeah, let's go my Georgian brother.
The kicks from Vittori.
I like the kicks to the legs.
It's very smart.
They're just standing in the set on the monster energy drinks.
Yeah, someone's waiting to pop off.
There's the live odds on the broadcast.
Oh, good light kick.
Those light kicks are nasty.
Oh, Delizet's throwing fastballs.
The durability of the tour.
I'm actually shocked that there hasn't been one attempt
to go to the ground by either guy.
Yeah.
I like it.
Here it comes.
Oh, yeah.
Time it, Frankie.
They're just standing around.
in the center. The leg kicks are nasty. I like the light kick strategy here from...
It feels like the longer this stays like this, and maybe it'll just stay like this the entire fight,
the more it favors Roman. It just feels like Roman will eventually get the better of them on the feet.
Or he just keeps trying to unload the clip on Marvin. You can't get him out of there.
Yeah, that's true. That's true, yeah.
Now they're yelling at each other. I love it. Let's see.
Who can separate themselves here?
Nice. Left hand from Marvin. I love that leg kick.
Those leg kicks are organized, man.
Oh.
You can see because of those leg kicks, like Deleuzee landed a right hand,
didn't have the same amount of move on him.
So let's see if Marvin could get a little respect with the striking here.
It seems like he's just kind of putting out like some soft leg kicks.
Yeah, and Marvin's just throwing baseball bats at his legs.
Oh, yeah.
Right hand from Deleuze.
Partially blocked from Vittori.
As they're approaching, this is approaching the halfway point.
This fight is so much more.
that I thought I was going to be.
Oh yeah, dude.
I also have to two quick comments.
Delizze cut the shorts slightly.
Smart.
That's big.
Secondly, not only Georgian, also part of the receding hairline gang.
I'm becoming a bigger Roman deletes fan by the minute.
Listen, I respect that.
I respect that.
As a man who lost the battle many, many years ago.
I'm still fighting, but it's a losing effort.
I just accepted defeat like a man and that's it.
We all got to do it one day.
I've saved so much money on haircuts.
It's tremendous.
It's tremendous.
Oh, good sneaky left from Marvin Vittori.
It's funny how they're in England
and they're sponsored by Draft Kings,
but they got the Bet365 on there as well.
Because they probably don't even...
Do they have Draft Kings in London?
No.
That's what I figured.
I need some sort of gambling.
Yeah, of course.
On that octagon post.
Oh, it feels like this is like slow down.
Delete.
Yeah, delete it.
Oh, sorry.
Is that bad for the audio frame?
Yeah, you can just like get in my ear next time.
flag me or something, no big deal.
Don't have to embarrass me in front of everyone.
All our guests here.
What is your first time?
Delizze just doesn't have the same.
Oh, he shoots.
We got our first tank-tout attempt.
It's Roman Delizze.
He's got a single.
And Marvin is just, just Marvin.
Feels like the guys thing, maybe,
maybe went out a little bit on Roman.
Roman slowing down.
Vittori never slows down.
Right on the top of the head.
Yeah.
Nice little sneaky up here.
It's an attempt for the upper cut day.
Roman needs a moment here.
I think Vittori's winning this round.
Oh.
Yeah, Votori's defending a lot more here.
He's blocking a lot of stuff up high.
I've seen things coming a little bit better than he did in the first round.
Looks like Roman's developing a pretty big wealth under his left eye.
That jab is really nice, too, from Marvin Vittory.
40 seconds, big spot here.
We've seen a lot of...
Probably stopping a smile.
We've seen a lot of things change.
a momentum change in like the final 30 seconds of rounds tonight.
Joanne Wood is a great example.
It feels like this is a good bounce back round for Marvin right here though.
For sure.
For sure.
He needed to get some respect somewhere in the striking and going to those light kicks.
This is a very smart way to do it.
Yep.
Oh, that leg kicks has just been such a great weapon.
Oh, good right hand from Marvin.
So he's just trying to get a round changing moment here.
I think it's a Marvin round.
I think we got a one fight.
Oh, good left hand from Marvin Vito.
Yeah, give me one-one going into round three.
All right, I know this is definitely not what it is,
but if anyone's familiar with Element skateboards,
Frank, you know about element?
Of course.
Doesn't Roman DeLite's tattoo kind of look like the element logo?
It definitely isn't that.
But it does kind of have similarity.
Does it have elements?
Marvin's fight nickname should be victorious.
So it's Marvin Victorious Vittori.
It's the Italian dream, man. Come on.
All right.
We should have had some lemon cello ready if Marvin wins.
Or some cappuccino.
Exactly, cappuccino.
When are we getting our first UFC, Italy?
Has that ever happened?
I don't think so.
That'd be cool.
I watched Dana's scrum yesterday because our boots on the ground, Jose, was there.
And I think, like, every reporter from every part of the world asked Dana, are you coming here.
What about Germany?
What about Sweden?
What about it?
Germany would be cool.
Yeah.
I guess you just have to have like a giant collective of fighters.
Yeah.
To get you to go there.
And like a huge appetite for it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right, round three.
Here we go.
1919 on our cards.
I'm waiting for the media tweets to come up.
Yeah, I say something they're thinking.
Live odds.
Wow.
Live odds.
Roman DeLite is still minus 185.
Marvin Vintori plus 150.
Interesting.
That feels like Marvel Vitori's best 150 wouldn't be like a terrible bet.
Yeah.
Maybe I'm wrong, though.
Feels like DeLite is coming out with a little more intensity here than the second round.
Oh, good knee.
If Sean Sheehan says 1919, so did Aaron.
Those guys are top-notch when it comes to the judging.
They seem like it.
Yeah.
Oh, Vitori at that jab.
See that leg kick, Vittori?
There it is.
Yeah.
Nice, nice call.
Look at the outside of DeLite's leg, man.
It's getting red.
It's nasty tanger meat.
Is that Jerry and Leto back there?
It very well might be, yeah.
He's been known to go to a UFC event or two.
Big Leto fan, Frank?
I mean...
Oh, man, Delite finding some success now against the cage.
He doesn't want to get kicked in the leg anymore.
What's your favorite leto movie?
Fight Club.
Oh, okay.
It's a good choice.
I actually watched that the other day.
So far, I mean, I like what DeLite's had to do here in the beginning of this round.
He's got to get close because otherwise Votori's going to keep kicking the leg and jabbing him in that left eye over and over again.
Live odds drop 10 points.
Wow, man.
I really am surprised.
Roman deletes a minus 250.
Oh, wow.
Jump back up already.
Holy smokes.
Tori, he's got to start kicking.
Oh, nice right hand by Marvin.
So he's just trying to get aggressive.
This is exactly what needs to do because you can't keep getting kicked in the leg.
Nice right hand from Roman.
Nice right hand by Roman.
Oh.
Oh, a little bully jab right there.
Face mush.
Wow.
D.C.
D.C. says Roman is a bully as well.
There's a jab from Marvin.
Oh, wow.
It hits him.
Yeah.
Nice combination.
Yeah, Roman Conno.
Yeah, Roman Conno.
Right.
Still close.
I mean, Roman's winning this round, but almost two and a half minutes to go.
Geez, Louise, Roman deletes A minus 400.
Wow.
I'm going to stop looking.
Oh, big right hand from Roman.
That was a fastball.
It feels like Roman.
It could be taking this fight-de-siding round right here.
Vitori's slowing down.
He's got inside.
Big swinging miss from Roman.
Oh, man.
He's finding a lot of success here.
All right, Vittori needs to get all Vittorius right now.
Victorious, as Frank would like to say.
Thank you.
Vittorish.
Victoriaish.
Oh, that was a nice left hand from Mark.
Marvin, nice right hand team.
Wow, they're trading in there, man.
The judges have been a little...
It's been a little suss.
It's been a little sussy out here.
No, he's going to just fine.
You said the judges, right?
The judges.
You love the judges, too, huh?
I love them all.
You love all the judges.
Who's your favorite judge?
I love the U.S.C. bureaucracy.
Yeah, I was going to say, you love all the behind-the-scenes stuff.
Producers.
Yeah.
Commission members?
There we go.
There you go.
All right, now we're digging deep here.
Frank hates producers.
Final minute, let's see.
Oh, Marvin with a big left hand.
That might have been the best shot of the round right there.
Look at that right leg.
Oh, another leg kick from Marvin.
He's got to keep going to it.
Oh.
Rumman's like I go down with this.
40 seconds.
Throw the leg kick, Marvin.
Throw the leg kick.
For the chap bet, for the chap bet.
This is close, man.
It's going to be interesting to see how they score,
but I think I got it.
Oh, nice body kick.
Rowan's like, oh, thank God he missed that one.
This is super close.
I was leaning Roman for a while,
but Vittori landed the best punch of the round.
I don't know if that's enough.
I'm going to go to Leite wins.
It's how.
What do you think the chances we get a splitie here?
Oh, dude.
Does this be the fourth of the day?
We're going to Splitty City.
There's no that of it.
my mind.
Four of the day.
One, two, three.
This will be four, yeah.
If you want to know something
that means absolutely nothing,
the lead to say close minus six, 25.
I'm gonna go, yeah.
I'm gonna say Georgia MMA.
You know what?
If he gets the nod here,
I'd love like a Georgian MMA shirt
that was like Elia,
Marab, Roman, Garam.
But it's like styled like a 90s hip-hop.
shirt.
All right.
I might look into that, you know.
How is the chat scoring this fight?
What are they thinking?
Mike, what have you said?
We have a scorecard in front of you.
I don't know.
Wow, Frank.
I'm going 10-9-Roman.
I'm scoring a-
29, 28 for the Georgia
and Georgia MMA stays hot.
He gets you-Cacazze.
I row Fatoree down.
Maybe it's just for good ju-ju for the chat bet.
I'm scoring it for Roman,
but I'm not confident.
I think Roman got it.
I'm not confident.
And I write like a child, so as long as you can just decipher the first letter,
you know where I'm going.
All right.
All right, here we go.
I don't even want to, like, look at Bruce Buffer because he's just going to give it away if we go to Sweetie City.
I think we might get a unanimous.
2928, 28, Roman.
Let's see.
Here we go.
The Buffman.
It's really, there we go.
Let's see.
29, 28, 29, 28.
This is Roman.
Roman?
Wow.
Marvin?
3027.
3027 Marvin seems.
The F kind of stuff.
What is that?
Robbed my Georgian brother, bro.
But the chat bet caches.
The chat bet.
Let's go.
We got the chat on our side.
Ah, man.
Let's keep it rolling.
Let's keep it rolling.
Let's lose those.
Another chat bet.
Roll the chat bed for Casey O'Neil, Jennifer Maya.
We're free rolling, baby.
Wow, the Italian dream.
Wow.
327, Marvin.
I don't know about that one, Chief.
Let's see.
I don't know that one.
That's a...
Reminder, Roman Delete closed minus 625.
Doesn't mean anything, but interesting.
I don't think it's that...
The 3027 sucked Italy.
No, I can understand the 2928.
The rounds were close.
I thought wouldn't do it.
When they said, I mean, everyone just heard me react to it.
When they said 3027, I was like, oh, that has to be Roman.
Yeah.
That's wild.
Let's see.
I want to take a look at these.
That's a stinky card.
I want to take a look at these stats here.
Ah, so significant strikes.
Like, obviously everything goes round by round.
89.74, Marvin outstruck him.
Obviously, no takedowns.
Yeah.
That second round, though.
Yeah, I felt like that was a Marvin round, but yeah.
I thought the first round was, like, clear as day, Roman.
I agree.
Yeah, I thought Roman landed the more significant shots.
Especially down the stretch.
but I thought Marva won two
and I
scored it for
the lead day of the third
but I wasn't confident
I wasn't fully confident
I like Marvin Ventura man
I'm cool with that
I'm happy
he just is who he is
I mean he's dude
he usually puts on
pretty entertaining fights
there's your man
Jared Leto Frankie
30 second of Mars
Yeree Prahaasca
let's go
Tommy
play it Frankie hit them
music.
Tommy Espinole.
Who are these guys?
Yeah, who are they?
They look familiar.
Oh, oh, oh.
Those are Rexham players.
Yes, they play for Rexham.
If you haven't watched Welcome to Rexum, please do.
They won today.
Shout out to Super Paul Mullen.
We're moving up.
We're moving to the 4th Division.
Big Rexham fan.
I'm just kind of a Wales guy.
Have you watched the Welcome to Rexham show?
It's fantastic.
It's fantastic.
It's like, I knocked out all 18 episodes in like three days.
It's so good.
I mean, I'm a little bit of supporter of the Welsh Shack Shore, Raxham.
We're big in Wales, Frank.
Oh, we have no viewers from Wales?
Oh, okay.
Wow, Marvin Vittori.
So I'm told right now by Jose Youngs, who is in the back right now.
Okay.
Guess who's back there doing a scrum?
Connor McGregor.
Colby Covington.
Colby.
Colby Covington is backstage talking to the media,
which will be the first time this has happened in over a year.
What's he saying?
What's he saying?
That's what I want to know.
Well, um...
Does he get a winner?
I don't know exactly what he's saying,
but I know, uh...
I know he's saying things about Hamza Atchamai if that he once said,
and he's going back to that well.
according to our boots on the ground.
Feels like quite a few people
don't agree with the Vittori decision.
Okay.
I don't hate it.
Yeah, it feels like quite a few people.
Your boys at your verdict MMA guys.
Hey, shout out the verdict MMA.
They have...
Black Belt soon.
28.56 to 28.49.
Wow, well.
For Marvin Vittory.
Very close.
I say black belt soon
as I forget to put in my picks
every single week.
According to verdict,
one of the closest fights ever scored
verdict with the final score.
Wait a minute.
Looks like they're doing an Anderson Silva.
Is Anderson Silva getting the Hall of Fame in Duck?
That's what it looks like.
Incredible.
Finally.
Geez, Louise.
All-time photo.
Anderson Silva in the UFC Hall of Fame.
Breaking News Music, Crank.
Yeah, go ahead and hit the music, Frank.
Feels like every time we do these,
someone gets announced to the Hall of Fame.
And like the right names.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jens Pulver.
I was going to say Jens Pulver.
Wasn't there someone last time?
Maybe I'm wrong.
Pulver was the last one.
Was there one two weeks ago?
It felt like yes.
That wasn't Jens.
Who was it?
I don't think there was one.
Maybe there wasn't one.
Maybe I'm wrong.
That just proved you wrong.
Yeah.
All right.
Anderson Silva,
Hall of Famer.
I remember when he first signed to the UFC,
I was very excited.
I wasn't as giddy as Joe Roe.
was, but I was pretty damn close.
And they gave him, like, just the best fight of all time to debut against.
Gets Chris Lieben, of all people, for his debut.
And we talk about, like, Valentina Schofchenko pitching perfect games and fights.
What Anderson Silva did to Chris Leibon that night was legitimately a perfect game.
I don't think Leibon landed a single strike, and Anderson Silver landed, like, 98% of his strikes in that fight.
and then he just ran over Chris Leibben.
Confess, Frank.
The only times I've seen Silva fight
was when he broke his leg
and when he lost to Jake Paul.
Wow.
That's it?
Wow.
However, the chat has just said
that Casey will win by decision.
Wow, Casey O'Neill by decision.
I got it.
Re-rolling it.
Let's go.
Casey by decision has got to be plus money, right?
Might be like slightly plus one.
Plus 120.
Let's see what we got.
Winning method.
Casey O'Neill.
Decision plus 110.
All right.
We're free rolling.
We're turning $10.
How long, how can we take it, chat?
Look at this, Frank.
I mean, Matrix-type stuff.
So this is, that was Anderson.
I was just going up to 205 because he's bored.
So, yeah, I'm bored.
I'm just going to go over and fight rent and just,
I'm going to go fight Forrest Griffith at 205 pounds.
I'm going to go fight Stefan Bonner at 205.
You never saw the Chale fight?
I didn't, no.
Either of them?
I mean, I'm sorry, but yeah.
That's okay.
All right.
It's in.
Casey O'Neill, by decision.
Free rolling it.
The first Chale-Sunnan fight is one of the wildest things I've ever seen.
Chale, this goes to winning.
Chale, I mean, Chale won.
It was basic, this was, that submission was like as shocking as Leon's head kick.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it was for.
It was like a minute away from winning up.
It was for the champ rather than the challenger.
Yeah.
Like, Chale's about to win.
just laid on top
and then he gets caught in a triangle
and gets tapped.
It's insanity.
Insanity.
But Anderson came in like a,
I mean like a freight train.
The Leban win
and then he just
annihilated Rich Franklin
two fights in a row
and it's just scary stuff.
Now Anderson ain't perfect.
He's had some stinkers.
I mean some sucky,
suck fights.
The Cote fight was really bad.
Damien Maya fight was really bad.
He's incredible, Frank.
Travis Luter, I think, was kind of interesting
because Anderson was a little bit in trouble there.
But he had some damn good ones, too.
He had some damn good ones, too.
I mean, yeah.
The front kick, K.O. is incredible.
Undoubtedly.
Undoubtedly, Hall of Fame.
Oh, yeah.
There's no question.
He's the dude.
Looks great.
Well done.
Pioneer wing.
Well done.
I still have full understanding of the wing.
and everything.
Nice lower third there, sweet.
Very nice.
Very nice.
Former UFC middle.
He was the middle-A champion
for seven freaking years.
16-fight win streak,
longest in USC history.
Kamarer U.S.man was approaching that number.
He was getting very, very close.
Very, very close.
I just don't know if we're going to get
another title reign like him and DJ
ever again.
Yeah.
I just don't know if it's going to happen.
Maybe, though.
You never know.
Certain thing about these snacks.
I'm thinking about them,
What do we start with?
I think it's just like, just reach down and grab something.
Just not the pickled onions.
I'm not...
Here it comes.
It better not be the brown.
All right, we'll wait for you, Frank.
Thanks.
Several bags.
Let's go, let's get a jammy dodger.
Let's start out with a jammy dodger.
Jamie Dodgers.
All right.
Let's give them a whirl here.
I love the packaging.
They look great.
I mean, they look just fantastic.
Ooh, yeah, yeah, I mean, we're really talking about a biscuit, a biscuit right here.
I'm looking forward to this.
I did not expect that.
Please, if you could.
I was going to eat like an Oreo, though.
That was a terrible mistake, but it was a crumble all over me.
You could definitely not Oreo these.
Frank, is this okay for the mouthful?
I mean, it's fine, oh.
I think people love him.
Is it savory?
What does it taste like?
Tell us.
I love that we continue to eat on the air, like, people want to hear this.
I mean, you'd be surprised.
Some freaks out there, man.
Jammy Dodgers, very solid.
Okay, so what is the flavor profile?
Wow, flavor profile for a jammy dodger.
It's like two shortbread cookies with raspberry jelly in between.
Okay, first is jam.
If Fig Newton made a cookie, it kind of reminded me of that.
Yeah, it does kind of taste like that.
That's a perfect way of describing a thin layer, very sticky.
Definitely couldn't Oreo them.
I love the effort from Mike, though.
Yeah.
No nasty stuff.
We're jammy enough.
Got to love that.
Packaging looks great.
I mean, like the mat, the red.
Good stuff, man.
Big Newton made like a lower calorie gluten-free cookie.
Isn't there a cookie out here like a Laura Dean or something where there's a raspberry inside of it?
Yeah.
It feels like I've had something similar here in the States, but jammy Dodgers, very solid.
Not bad.
The O is a jammy dodger in the packaging.
I mean, you got to love that creativity.
I mean, you got to love that.
All right, Casey O'Neill, by decision.
How do we get there, Mike?
How do we get there?
Well, she goes through three rounds and wins.
She does better over 15 minutes.
No.
Wave my flag as I got my jammy dodger.
So my official, my official MMA fighting staff pick is Casey O'Neill by third round TKO.
Wow.
Wow.
So you're going against the chat.
I mean, I hope the chat wins.
Sometimes you just have those people that you just blindly back.
This week for me, it's Casey O'Neill and Kamaro O'Sman.
So I've been very...
I have paused with both of them.
I have paused with both of them.
I get it.
I have been probably higher on Casey O'Neill than anybody else since,
she got into the UFC, I'd just been really excited. Her development is actually way further
along that I thought she would be at this point. She's putting it all together. She's tough.
She's bigger. She's longer. She's faster. She's going to put out more volume. But also...
She puts on a pace, man. She is coming off the surgery. Jennifer Maya is a veteran. Tough as nails.
Valentina couldn't get her out. She just gives me pause that we're looking back and it's just like
maybe a little bit too early, maybe a vet less.
but maybe i am trusting in king casey i just feel like
case is just going to put that pace i love it i love the idea that i'd really be hyped for
that to happen cody stagy like 180 strikes yeah make it clear 29 28 decision if she gets
takedowns it's like she's just a killer on oh yeah yeah yeah man she just makes it
yeah she definitely has miserable i mean that that that rock sand fight which it's obviously been a
year since that happened.
I don't know how they made that a split decision.
I don't know if people would disagree with me there, but she landed like 230 strikes
and was just like putting it on her the entire time.
I don't know how you could have thought that Roxanne won that almost felt like a little,
you know, she's retiring.
Let's send her out.
Roxanne's one of those fighters that's like so active and she misses by, she misses like
most of her punches, but she's so close and she's very aggressive that,
Well, she looks ready to go.
Casey looks ready to go.
She has had a year.
We will give her that.
And she hasn't been sitting on her, on her tail.
And she's been very smart.
She's at Extreme Couture.
She has Eric Nixick as a head coach who isn't going to let her do anything crazy.
She called in the MMA hour this week because Frank was, I mean, not Frank.
Rick was slandering her name.
She said if you bet against her, you will regret it.
So obviously if she feels confident.
What fighter is going to say to bed against her?
against them, so that might mean absolutely nothing.
I heard the weight class debate.
Yeah, yeah, I kind of just get in the middle of that fire.
Yes.
I like them both.
I do have...
Everybody love everybody, right?
Yes, I think Frank stepped away for a moment, but I do have some Casey O'Neill,
Jennifer Mayer.
Yeah, sure, hit me with it.
I'll take it.
I guess this just counts as an automatic win over Frank, you know?
He's forfeit.
Now it's 1-1.
Okay.
Heading into the third and final round after this.
This fighter had her first MMA boat at the age of 15
where she was dominated and finished in the first round.
Jennifer Maya.
Casey O'Neill.
Wow, wow, wow.
So this was an amateur fight.
Okay, okay, okay, sorry.
The reason I, yeah, the reason I collected Jennifer Mai
is because Casey O'Neill, the undefeated pro record.
She has a pro boxing record of 3 and O, along with her MMA accolades.
Just a quick pause, Jennifer Mayer's husband.
looks incredibly intimidating.
Oh, yeah.
He looks like he's like 6-8,
Jack to the Gills, tattoos.
Yes.
Could you repeat the question
now that we have Frank back?
Frank is back.
Already round has already been forfeited,
though, one more heading
in the third final, Frank.
Well, you get a chance to come back
because G.C. got the first question wrong.
I'm not surprised.
She has a pro-boxing record of 3-0
along with her MMA accolades.
It's Maya.
KZ O'Neill.
Casey O'Neill for G.C., Frank?
Maya.
Maya is correct.
Ah,
maybe it should just forfeit.
True or false.
True or false, Frank.
Casey O'Neill has more performance bonuses in the UFC than Jennifer Maya.
True.
True.
It is false.
Both actually have one.
Two truths make a false.
Both have one.
You are right.
You are right.
And last question.
G.C.
I'll give it to you.
True or false?
Oh, no, it's not a true or false question.
This fighter has won a year-end award for MMAfighting.com.
Casey O'Neill.
That's O'Neill.
It is Casey O'Neill.
She was the M.M.A. Fighting rookie of the year.
Because I can think of this a while to get to fight, too.
556?
It definitely has an hour, and we're just starting to fight, too.
Let's go to the tail of the tape.
Let's do it, yeah.
For Casey O'Neill versus Jennifer Maya.
It seems like it has been quite a while since we saw this.
That was a, uh, there's a lot of chat.
Plus, we got the Anderson Silver Hall of Fame induction.
Great job.
We go.
Jennifer Maya, obviously much more experienced inside the mixed martial arts world.
She is nine years older.
Casey O'Dill has a two inch height advantage, a five inch reach advantage.
No surprise, both these women making weight like professionals.
Jennifer Maya had some weight-cutting issues in the past, but looks like she has gotten that all figured out.
This is going to be real interesting to watch, man.
Here we go.
It feels like this, if Casey O'Neill gets a win,
it feels like this is a really nice stepping stone for it.
Yes, I completely agree.
There's the man.
I see out on the Allen.
There's your guy, Frank.
Man, Irv.
Breaking the fourth wall,
just hit the hell out of my shin on the coffee table.
That did not feel great.
You're supposed to just absorb it and keep going.
Yeah, I guess I guess I'm not going to run tomorrow now.
All right, here we go.
Casey O'Neill, first fight in 13 months.
Here we go.
And we are off.
Pace, pace.
Give it to me, Casey.
Casey's moving a little slow.
Come on.
Casey's moving a little slow.
Four seconds.
Stop now.
Like this.
Top 15 matchup?
Two tough girls?
Down for this.
Man, talk about the shoulder tats last fight.
Ooh.
Wow.
This is the kind of fight, Jennifer.
Kaya wants.
The thigh tattoo is sick.
Oh.
Maya will play this distance boxing game all day long.
Oh, yeah.
Like I know Casey.
It feels like Maya is springy out there right now.
Oh, Casey's land.
There's a nice right hand from Casey.
Maya's bouncing around.
Oh, yeah, man.
Oh.
They're kind of chucking them.
I like it.
They ain't messing around.
Oh, good luck to hand from Maya.
Snapped her head back a little bit.
Oh.
Nice exchange.
This is fun as hell.
Yeah, I like that kick on the end by Casey.
I know it didn't land, but.
Maya is showing those boxing skills.
Oh, yeah.
Three and O boxing record, Frank.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Good call.
Good call, Frank.
That's why you're the king of trivia.
Ooh, nice, right hand.
I'm curious as if Casey O'Neill is going to shoot for a takedown.
She's probably going to have to.
She doesn't want to play this game.
She's getting pieced up here.
Yeah, and like, it feels like Casey O'Neill, like when she gets hit, like it shows.
Shout out to Tech & 8, bottom right.
Shout out to Tech and 8.
Checking 8.
Love to get my hands on a copy of that.
Yeah, it looks great.
Have you seen, like, I'm sure you've seen previews and stuff?
Oh, yeah, looks fun, man.
It just released yesterday, really.
Oh, yeah, it was yesterday.
I am out of the video game realm.
I still think the greatest video game of all time
is Mike Tyson's punch.
Oh, yeah, wow, you're a well out of it.
Yeah, it's a great one.
More for just punch out.
Oh, I like that from Casey O'Neill.
Nice.
Casey's getting success when she gets in close.
It was like the fans are pretty,
pretty strongly on Casey O'Neill side here.
Oh, good right in, counter from Casey.
Yeah, oh, nice left hand coming in,
but had to eat one on the way out.
She needs to get her against, like,
she needs to back to her from my up.
Yeah, I'd like that.
that. Oh, there we go.
I like these kicks on the end. I think she's going to find something with that eventually.
She's making Maya work and throw a lot of strikes.
I didn't expect to see this kind of volume from Jennifer Maya.
Yeah, Jennifer Maya. I think she's been outstruck in eight of her ten fights.
Both women land. Nice jab from Jennifer Mila.
Yeah, the jab is working for Maya.
Casey just pushes forward.
Oh, that was nice by Jennifer Maia.
Nice left from Casey.
Maya is just feeling herself right now.
She's saying she's not ready for me
Mr. Dean's keeping his distance
Yeah, yeah, shout out
Do you watch the All-22 camp, Frank,
just so you can keep an eye on herb?
Exactly.
That was a nice right hand from Casey O'Neill.
My eyes just waiting for her to come in
because she's so far away
And as soon she comes in, she just has a time.
100%.
Curie says this,
Casey's going to try and work in the ground game at all.
It's been about the same for the last minute.
has. Oh, there we go. Nice exchange there, all right.
Oh, nice left hand from Casey.
Both putting up decent striking numbers.
I know what's going on here?
Jennifer Mayer's going from a leg, maybe a takedown.
Gets up against the cage.
Casey's like, all right, I'm cool with this.
Oh, nice. Nice way to get off of that.
Turned to right over, got separation.
Good job by Casey O'Neill.
Nice kick from Jennifer Maya.
Approaching the final minute.
Pretty close round. I guess I would edge Maya so far.
Yeah, I would, yeah, I think she's,
pretty clearly won this round,
but it's competitive.
Oh, yeah.
Casey O'Neill could be just depositing
some money into the interest account.
Yeah, hopefully.
I like that idea.
You never want to have to win the last two rounds.
I guess.
Oh, nice.
Nice combo.
Making Maya work.
Nice leg kick.
I didn't think we'd see Jennifer Meyer land
close to like 50 strikes in the first round,
but we are getting there.
Let's see.
Yeah,
Honestly, I'm surprised at the volume that Maya has been able to put out.
This kind of reminds me of the Aaron Blanchefield,
Jessica Androge opening around.
Interesting, interesting.
Where Blanchefield was just like, no one thinks I'm going to stand with her.
I'm just going there and just trade a bunch shots with her.
The crowd's getting hyped, man.
This fight's great.
Oh, nice left hand right at the buzzer.
I'm going to go Maya in this one.
Yep.
10-9, Jennifer Maya.
Ditto.
there you go all right what do we see out of the out of the second round that was a little bit better right
it was you see how like i sign stuff it's just like just i mean i like that i mix it up
should i start signing these like my scorecards see c scribble see scribble big b scribble
that's how you got to do it fun round man double nice right hands where the fight jabs for jennifer may um
Look at the, yeah, good fight.
Good fight, man.
Nice little scrap.
Live odds, Jennifer Maya minus 190, completely flipped there from round one.
Wow.
Makes sense.
Yeah, need a big round two here.
Now, remember.
Should we always offer the chat if they want to hedge or?
What do you mean?
It was a stupid joke.
Well, the chat came up with the bet, so.
All right, round two.
See if Casey can turn this around.
Although she didn't have a bad round.
No, she didn't have a bad round.
Feels like she definitely needs to get this one, though.
Yeah.
There's the light kicks.
It feels like she needs to switch something up.
Like she can't just stay at range.
Yeah, she's got to get close.
She's got to get close.
Let's be honest.
Both women just chucking them.
I love it.
I would like to see her mix in the ground game a little bit.
Is Casey going to shoot in this round?
It's the question.
Oh, nice left hand.
Nice exchange.
Oh, nice left hand.
Oh, there you go.
All right.
Casey's moving forward and throwing volume, but Maya's matching her.
Oh, for sure, which is...
Which is...
That's abnormal for Jennifer May.
Normally, she isn't matching the volume.
I like to see Casey at least threaten a take down here.
This is almost like the exact opposite of what I was expecting.
It feels like Casey O'Neill comes in and finds one,
and she has to eat two on the way out.
I thought it was going to be Jennifer Maya
finding one and having to eat two on the way out.
Oh, nice.
Here we go.
Jennifer My, looks good.
Oh, yeah, she looks great.
This is concern of a lot of people.
I can't lie.
Me and Joe talked about it backstage.
You know, a little bit of concern coming into this one.
But Casey, you've got to try to mix it up a little bit.
Again, these rangy kinds of stands-up fights are...
This one's not going well.
But you have to at least just...
I mean, she has to change something up.
If she stays like this...
Push her up against the fence.
She's going to lose, for sure.
Yeah, she's got to get inside, push her up against the fence.
make her work a little bit.
All right.
I mean, this is brawling.
Yeah, this is a fight.
It's just like occasional brawls.
My's just landing first.
She kind of seems like she's got Casey figured out a little bit.
I mean, it feels like she's definitely got to figure out.
Unless Casey changes something, she's destined to lose this fight.
Halfway through the fight.
Let's see.
There you go.
Nice in and out from Casey.
All right.
The judges have been a little weird tonight.
Yes.
we have learned that after a few of these fights
it's not so little but
yes
oh that's a nice right hand
from Casey
that one got my's attention a little bit
almost fell
yeah
myelin a nice leg kick too
yeah it feels like she has no interest in
engaging on the ground wow there you go
there's a couple nice connections for Casey
yeah she ate them too
Casey's tough man
both these women are tough
so durable
shout out to the 30s staying on the gloves these days
Yeah, man.
It really has to be a barn burner for the 30th anniversary logo to fall off.
I think they might have fixed it after they reviewed.
Oh, they got a little better adhesive.
I like that shout, Frank.
Let's see.
I mean, this is, I mean, we're literally, this has been the fight the entire time.
They just, Casey steps in, and they each, they're like seven punches at each other.
Oh, that was a good hand, but.
Oh, Casey.
There, oops, she's going in?
All right.
She does.
An attempt.
She does eat like eight on the way out.
Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say, uh,
Yes.
It's going to be too old Jennifer Maye going into round three.
I think so.
Yeah, I think so.
I mean, there's still a minute of this round.
I mean, this has to be a significant minute for Casey.
Ooh, there it is.
Whoa.
Good exchange.
That was nice.
Both ladies took some punishment there.
Maybe Casey could knock her down or sting her.
Ooh, I mean, yeah, I mean, Jennifer Maya really is.
She's just, she just looks bouncy out there.
Wow.
Jennifer Maya is thoroughly out striking her.
This is...
Almost 100 significant strikes through two rounds for Jennifer Maya.
Pretty surprising to me.
That has to be the most of her UFC career at this point.
She's well on her way to 100 significant strikes.
Oh, good left hand from Casey.
10 seconds.
She can turn it around.
Oh.
Oh, nice left hand.
I mean, yeah.
10-9 Maya, yeah.
Same as he's.
Yeah, I think that's too old going around.
Well, thank you guys.
Same Z's.
Live odds.
Jennifer Mina, minus 550.
Yep.
Casey O'Neill plus 400.
So I'm sure one of these crazy judges has Casey O'Neill up 2018 right now.
Yeah.
Yeah, this feels like it's like, unless we see something drastic change here from Casey O'Neill,
I feel like this is just about to be a 3027, Jennifer Maya.
So for some dodgy judging for the chat bet.
What are we going to do for the next fight before it?
We got to rip some packs?
Yeah, I say we ripped some packs.
After this fight?
Yeah, why not?
I dig it.
I dig it.
Oh, Jennifer Myers' corner calling for a finish.
Oh, that could be a mistake.
Maybe they get a luncheon train.
I wonder what Casey O'Neill's corner is saying.
I wonder if they're trying to gas her up for a 1919 type deal.
That's possible.
Or if they're saying, you've got to go out there and finish her.
That's possible at this point after seeing some of these scorecards.
after seeing a 3027 Vittori in the last fight.
I mean, I think that would be a bad thing to do here
to stick at this exact same game plan
for the next five minutes.
Wow, that was a nasty left hand from Jennifer May.
Casey O'Neill's head snapped her head back.
All the way back.
Oh, Colby has entered the building.
Yeah.
John Hicks says, as loud as this place is bed all night,
and it's been pretty loud.
He's actually wondering why the crowd was cheering so much during this fight when it's just kind of standing at range.
Who knew that Colby?
Oh, there we go. Casey O'Neill, go to take down. Does not work. Does not work.
Colby becoming the man of the hour.
Yeah, shout out. Listen, it's the pro wrestling while. We can't miss you if you don't leave.
Exactly. I think. Should I have the back? Close.
One kind of hook. But Colby, the man of the hour.
Man of the hour, man. You know, heart.
Distance makes the heart grow fonders.
Is that what they say?
Yep.
That's what's happening with Kobe Covington.
We have not seen him in a while.
Just like John Jones.
You could be as wild or...
Oh, wow, getting crazy.
You could do a bunch of heinous stuff.
But you take some time off.
Take some time off and win a couple fights and the world will love you.
We forget about it.
People forget about all that.
Don't forget.
Sorry?
No.
It's not forgotten forever, but...
I mean, it's the Tiger Wood syndrome.
Winning, winning solves everything.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean.
Yeah, Kate.
This is not the case.
Like, Casey, I'm not saying Casey's fighting bad, because she's not.
Just what has made her what she was when she first got into the UFC.
I don't know where it's, I don't know what it is.
It's just not quite that.
It's just go 100 miles an hour at you and just crush you with pace.
It feels like she's not doing that anymore.
Yeah, I mean, and that could speak to the level of competition.
she's fought prior to this.
Oh,
oh,
Jennifer Myers is locked her up.
Yeah, Scottish zombie,
that's kind of what it's like.
It's pretty much a,
Casey kind of looks like a different person right now.
Yeah.
Because of how many times she's been hit.
The game plan just is,
it's not working.
Yeah,
there's just,
Maya sees everything coming from a mile away.
At this point.
There's some good shots.
Casey's staying competitive this round,
but I think it's just a little too late.
You can still look at this fight and be like, all right, Casey's still got a future.
For sure, for sure.
She's still, what, 25?
Yeah, she's still super young.
She's fighting a top 10 opponent.
I thought stylistically this would favor her a little bit more.
But, man, Jennifer Maya, on the giddy up for this fight.
Impressive.
Maya's box in the footwork, too.
Oh, all right.
Casey has another combination.
But it's just, it could be too little too late.
Oh, it's definitely too little too late.
Wow.
Wow.
Wow.
And Verma has thrown 323 significant strikes.
That is something I never thought I would see.
Let's see how many she's landed here.
I wonder like.
Wow.
Landed 126.
Impressive.
Impressive performance here for Jen from Jen from John.
Farms is landing in a fight.
Especially in a three-rounder.
Gotta be.
She landed 109 against Marina Morose.
Oh, nice little fan.
That was the record.
109 was the most she's ever landed.
in a fight, and she's crushed that, so.
I mean, Casey might have taken this round.
I don't think so.
She's moving forward, so, I mean, that looks okay to the judges.
Oh, man.
I don't think she's going to make a difference in the wins or not, Frank.
I think this is already pretty much decided.
It's Jim for Maya.
Well, chat bet.
Let's hope for some dodgy judging.
I mean.
Cheers to it.
You already got one.
Here's here.
Here, here.
Maya going for a takedown.
She's got a single.
Casey's trying to defend.
Tiggerback, Casey?
Tough matchup, man.
Yeah.
Jennifer showed up tonight.
It's a nice knee.
Oh, nice right here for Casey.
Oh.
Nice.
She's a dog.
She's a dog.
That's all she wrote.
Oh, man.
Casey O'Neill raising her hand.
I don't know if she won that one.
You never know?
You do never know.
I'll give Casey that third round.
Jennifer Mayah.
Minus 1700.
Okay.
I'm going to say Casey 109.
Yeah, 2928 Maya overall.
2928, Jennifer Maya.
The underdog.
A lot of people.
A lot of people smarter than me.
Yeah, there's the signature for this.
Just all over the things.
Yes, I love it.
Yeah, let me, let me.
Let me get big boy. Let me get bigger racing.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
I'll be going to a small guy.
Yeah, big eraser.
I've been going small guy this whole time.
Yeah, Jennifer Mai's corner looks like they would do fine.
Yeah, oh man, I think so.
I think that's safe to say.
We get San Hay.
We get Cheeto versus Sanhagen next week.
Oh, man.
What a freaking fight that's going to be.
Buffman is in the cage,
so it didn't seem like they took a long time to decide this.
one. Here we go. Yeah. 30, 20, 27, 29, 28, 29, 28.
Jennifer Maya takes Casey O'Neill's O. Jennifer Maya. The way he was, the way Buff was looking
in Maya's direction. I was like, you are not going to do this right now. There's no way. That
would have been egregious robbery had Casey O'Neill been given that fight.
All right. Shout out to Jennifer Maya, man. Good performance. Hey, KS.I.
Look at him drinking a prong.
Me too, buddy.
Hey, Stormzy.
Mel made me do it, bro.
Yo, Ani on Cheech.
She's like, forget that, Prime.
I got a monster.
Monster water.
Monster water, shout out.
Do we try another snack before opening cards?
Yes.
Let's do it.
Here we go.
You want to get all the snack stuff all on the cards.
Yeah, exactly.
Let's go savory.
Let's try.
try the pickled onion monster munch here.
Look at that. Walker's Monster Munch
pickled onion. Let's give it a go.
Whoa.
Wow.
Mess it around here. They're getting right after it.
Is that the onion one?
Yeah, they kind of look like...
Is it funnions?
No, they kind of look funnian-esque.
The smell is strong.
They taste like funnion-ish,
then I'll have one if they don't.
Mike, are you like a standard funnion or a spicy funnion guy?
I'm a normal funnion guy.
But I hate onions in general.
Wow.
Not a fan, but I'm going to give it a whirl.
Wow, that is, like, not what I expected.
They taste like very vinegory.
Yeah, well, what do you think?
Sorry.
Wow.
You know what it tastes like?
I'm going to take a guess here, like a pickled onion.
No.
It tastes like a funnion dipped in mustard.
Oh, that's exciting.
Save me one of those, please.
We'll save you a whole bag, Frank.
You can feel free to come in and get some yourself, dude.
And it kind of smells like...
I'm busy?
A foot.
Oh, you're busy.
Someone's got to rock these faders.
It does kind of smell like a foot.
All right.
Less interested now?
It's very...
Not terrible.
Yeah, it's all right.
It's all right.
It's better...
I had very low expectations.
Better than expected.
I will say that.
Um...
Time to open some...
guards.
Let's do it.
Let's do it.
You know, I've been touching all these greasy.
Just wipe it on the bearskin.
The bearskin?
That's the name of the hat.
Oh, no, I'm going to do a...
You're going to try to put gloves on greasy hands.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He's a professional.
We're going back to the gloves, Frankie.
We don't want to...
We don't want to damage the merchandise.
Well, he puts the gloves on one.
Do some...
Brian Barbaranis is going to pull out...
Pull out some...
Pull us some gunny Brian Barbarina trivia, Frank?
Yeah.
I mean, I've been waiting.
Okay.
This fighter has competed against three fighters who have held UFC titles at one point.
Barbarina.
G.C., do you agree with that?
No.
He's picking Gunner-Nelson?
Yes.
Correct answer?
Brian Barbarina.
I'm sorry.
Leon Colby, Robbie Lawler.
This is an absolute masterclass by Frank here.
Frank, true or false?
Brian Barbarina has more UFC.
fights than Gunner Nelson.
That is false.
That is true.
That is true.
I meant true.
16 to 14 in favor
of Brian Barbarano.
We're going to a hobby box
select.
So tell us about that.
What is the hobby box?
The hobby box guarantees us
unwrap six prism parallels
per box on average.
Right, record.
Make sure we get something good here.
Big Bet alert.
One better place.
$20,000 on Brian Barbarina money line. I love it. It's balzy. Is Brian Barbarino
walking out to Let's Hear It for the Boy? He is. I think so. Wow. And he's singing too.
He's feeling happy. He's feeling good. And so is the London crowd. All right here we go. Let's start
it out. Cynthia Calvillo. Nice, nice, nice. Robert Whitaker. Robert Whitaker, nice. It's a good pull
right there. I like that. I like that.
In Gary, shout out, rookie card.
Ian Gary, rookie card.
One of 38 fighters on the roster with the nickname The Future.
Yes, we saw Sam Patterson the Future suffer a loss earlier today.
Zhang Wei Li, shout out.
Ooh, sparkly rose Nami Unis.
That's a nice one.
And then Joe Ann Wood fighting on this card.
Can you bring it a little closer to the lens?
Sure.
I absolutely can.
Away from the lens.
Too close?
Too close?
Extreme close up.
Further away?
There it is.
right there.
All right, let's open one more pack, at least.
There's Tommy.
Brian Barbarina has just put on a show right now.
I love it.
He's feeling good, man.
He has gotten the fans on his side.
I don't know until Gunny makes the walk.
All right, here we go.
Let's take a peek.
Where's the wish list?
There is no wish list.
Oh.
Yeah, we got rid of it.
Can you tilt the camera up a little bit?
Yeah, sure, Frank, you know.
I guess I'm a cameraman now.
Okay.
How's that look?
The correct term is camera operator.
Further away from the camera?
Is that good?
That's as good as it's going to get it.
I mean, it's so blurry, you can just say whatever you want to be.
Yeah, I mean, that's what you need.
Well, this is Angela Hill.
Okay.
For all the doubters out there, that's Angela Hill.
All right.
Amanda Nunez.
All right, it's a good one.
John Jones, shout out.
Shout out, shout out, John Jones.
Here comes Gunner Nelson making his walk.
There's Billy Q.
Shout out to Billy Q.
Big fight coming up for him.
Getting ready to fight Edson Barbosa.
See, let's see.
Let's see, let's see.
That is Holly Holm.
Speaking of getting ready for a big fight.
All right.
I got good feeling about this.
What are we calling here, Mike?
What are we calling here?
I got good feeling.
Kamar Usman.
I like this.
I like this.
Red.
Some sort of red.
Oh, what?
We got ruined with the...
I did it wrong.
I flipped it wrong.
Glover to share a red, sparkly.
One of 99.
But now retired, Glover Tashara.
Could be worth something.
It's going to be a Hall of Famer.
There we go.
He's going to be a Hall of Famer.
I mean, that holographic looks brilliant.
All right, do we open the next two after this fight,
or do we open them now?
I think you should open them now.
All right.
Justin Gaitie versus Raphael Viziv about to happen.
Oh, yeah, we got some games to play, some Xbox to play.
All right.
I'm about to get melted.
and UFC 4.
Valentina Shepchenko.
Okay.
Former champion?
Valentina Shafchenko.
Israel Adasanya.
Nice.
Former champion?
Michael Bisping.
Former champion?
This is just the former champion.
This is the middleweightiest.
Hamza Tchamaya.
Future champion.
Middleweight's everywhere.
Bradfordale.
Not this one, though.
It's just like a common one, you know?
Yeah.
Neil Magny.
All right.
That one's kind of sparkly.
No, no number, though.
No number.
I got a good feeling about this last pack.
I got a real good feeling.
There is going to be a Francis and Gano card in there.
I have a feeling...
I have a feeling...
I have a feeling it's going to be at at least a one of 50.
That's what I'm feeling here.
At least a one of 50.
We're getting a numbered card here, folks.
Well, all you pull that out,
and I get a jammie Dodger.
Let's look at the tail of the tape.
Shout out to Jammie Dodgers.
Jammy Dodger.
Tail the tape for this welterweight matchup.
Gunner Nelson.
Mr. St. Paddy's Day weekend.
There we go.
34?
Crazy to me that Brian Barbarina is younger.
I don't know why.
Yes.
Just feels like Barbarina has been around forever, you know?
Two inch height advantage for Brian Barbarina, half inch reach advantage.
Both men made weight like professionals.
This is going to be interesting.
You got her, Brian Barbarina is a dog.
Gunner Nelson, his strengths are kind of Barbarina's weaknesses.
But you know, Walter Wades.
Bilal Muhammad.
Bilal Muhammad.
Nate Diaz.
That's a good one.
Not bad.
Nate Diaz is back.
The thing, none of them are like rare.
You know what I'm saying?
They're just kind of like...
DC card.
Yeah, DC card.
Shut up to sign it.
All right, this is going to be a good one right here.
It's upside down.
It's upside down.
And I saw the name.
And I saw the name.
Another Zhang, is that Zhang Wei?
Yeah, Jean-Wei.
Interesting looking Zhang Wei.
No number on it, but a octagon side,
Zhang Wei.
Okay. I see a lot of sparkles here.
Boom.
Is that Brock Lezner?
And Tiago Santos.
Well, the Brock.
Brock ones.
No numbers on either.
I have to say, $80 hobby box?
I agree, Frank.
That's kind of how I feel about that one.
Oh, man.
Best card we got out of it was the Glover Tashara of 99, the red ruby.
The Brock one is probably pretty good.
Brock one's all right.
Good news I can quickly get my mind off of it because Gunner Nelson and Brian Barberina just started.
Wow.
Look at that bounce.
Kind of disappointed in that one, guys.
Not going to lie.
Trying to hide it?
Definite disappointment.
I see it in your eyes.
Let me get a Jamie Dodger to cheer myself up.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, it's a good call.
More chewing on the air, the better.
The little Diet Fig Newton.
Do you have any, do you have a bet on this fight?
I have Gunner Nelson as a parlay piece.
I feel the path of victory is there for him.
But again, don't listen to me, please.
You just saw what happened to Casey O'Neill.
That was a vibes pick.
It was all for the vibes.
That's true.
How much happening in the first 50 seconds?
It's like both guys are like, oh, I'm going to hit you.
Oh, I'm going to.
Oh, you just wait until like, oh, it's happening.
Oh, nice leg kick, I guess.
I can go, Brian.
Crowd is chanting.
Crowds chanting something.
Crowds going bananas.
Something just happened, right?
Or they're just trying to cheer them on?
Maybe they're trying to cheer them on.
Maybe get Gunny Cook in here?
Ooh, there we go.
Barbarana getting in there.
So Barbarian's got to do.
It's got to get weird.
And he's got to stay on his feet.
Shout up to Jammy Dodgers.
Those are fantastic.
Hey, yes, it needs to stay on the feet for Barbarana.
He's been taken down 26 times in his last six fights.
That's wild.
26 times.
And if I, Rob.
Yeah, one of those was a complete war against Robbie Laud.
Yeah, zero take down attempts.
So technically across five fights, he got taken down 26 times.
That's...
That is a significant number.
Now Gunner's got him against the fence.
Gunner always looks kind of stiff.
Doesn't look like Brian Barbaran is enjoying this right now.
No, he's about to get...
He's about to get chucked to the mat.
DC and Bisping getting cheeky?
Yep.
All right, so it looks like Gunner's not being able to...
get it there too easily.
Yeah.
I mean, that's
that's what's happening.
They're.
Yeah, they're up against the cage.
Uh, we have, I actually have two more
tribute questions.
Sure, ask them.
Why not?
So something happens.
Uh, Frank.
Who, who?
Oh, there we go.
Big time.
Big time for Gunner Nelson.
It was just the tease.
How is he going to be able to work here?
Is he going to be able to work?
Two minutes to work.
It's already in half guard.
Someone just yelled two minutes.
Let, let Gunner know.
Two minutes to work for Gunner Nelson.
And did you watch his last fight last year in March, obviously, against Takashi Saddam?
The guy who was like, I'm cool losing 100%.
Yeah, just as long as I don't get submitted.
It looks like they're both laughing about something.
What's that?
It looks like they were both just laughing about something.
I don't know if they were laughing or...
Maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe they were straining.
Oh, I like it.
Brian Barberina, painting the nails, went with green, St. Patrick's the.
Hand and feet.
Yes.
Oh, the tozies, too.
Don't want to crack them.
Some elbows there from Gunner Nelson.
I like it.
He's about to mount.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
Gunner Nelson.
That is nasty.
Union Jack has fallen behind you there.
Oh, oh, wow.
No.
Here, I'll fix this.
As Gunner Nelson looks like he's getting some.
Gunner's looking for a, for a Camara, perhaps.
Don't mind me.
Oh.
More damage happening back here, folks.
So much going on.
We're going to have to fix this on the back end.
You think that's going to hold for?
Frank?
Absolutely.
He's trying for maybe a straight-off bar, maybe an Americana.
He's got 43 seconds to work.
You know what I just realized?
This is the first time I was able to...
Frank, which one of these guys made their UFC debut first and did it in 2012?
Barbara Rana.
Barbara Rana?
Yes.
I'm going to say Gunner Nelson.
It happened.
UFC on Fuel TV.
Wow.
The main event was Stefan Shrewd knocking out Steepi Meach in the second round.
Correct answers.
Big elbow.
Gunner Nelson.
To the mouth.
Yeah.
Oh, he's going for the arm.
He's got 30 seconds.
Oh, I think he's got it.
I think he's got it.
I got it.
It almost popped out.
That's how you get it, Frank.
That's how you get an arm.
I mean, it's not what we watched in the first fight of the night.
That's how you get an arm.
That was to do it in the last 10 seconds.
Like, that was beautiful setup.
Tough fight for Brian Barbaranam, man.
The path to victory was just too clear there for Gunner Nelson.
Dude, such an animal, like, just stepping in on short-dust fight anybody.
One of the most game guys in the UFC.
But as soon as Gunner took him down, like, you knew it was over.
I thought there was a world where Barbraina survived to round two,
and, like, we saw the leg, maybe there was enough damage?
Nah.
Just Gunner didn't do anything.
Like, you didn't work at all until he got the takedown.
Yeah, exactly.
Man, that is just a beautiful transition.
Done.
And then just...
Just done.
I got it.
Yeah, like the setup with the legs, like just fantastic stuff from Gunner.
It was really, it was beautiful.
Is it the only Icelandic fighter on the roster?
Is he?
Wow.
That's what I'm asking you.
It could be.
I thought that was going to be in the tribun.
It wouldn't be surprising.
Icelandic.
That was so pretty, man.
Fighters.
Like, you see Brian Barbarine is, like, grabbing his hand, he's trying.
And as soon as, like, Gunner feels his hand separate at all,
And like that setup is,
he just puts the weight on his face
with his right handstring.
It was so nice.
There are a few Icelandic fighters,
just not all in the UFC.
Okay.
Shout out the Gunner Nelson, man.
We're going to have Shaheen Al-Shadi
join us very soon,
for this co-made event.
It's got to be Justin Gagee
versus Raphael Fiziz.
Yes, it feels like now we really get the card going.
We're on deck.
We're on deck.
I'm so freaking excited.
Some Xbox going on with that?
Yeah, I'm down for some box.
We should just get right after it.
Let's try another snack before we do it.
Let's try to get your prong cocktail, Frank.
I'll throw you a bag.
All right.
I love it.
Actually, try the monster munch while you're in here, too.
Try the monster munch, man.
Throw your food at me.
We'll try the prong cocktail together while we play some Xbox.
You asked if I was hungry, Frank.
The answer is not really, but I spent all this money on these snacks,
so we have to try them.
The gummies are next.
Sure.
I got a...
Shout out to Walkers for kind of ripping off the Free DeLay logo.
No, it's actually the same company.
Oh, free toleys from Texas.
Oh, shut out.
Getting a new prime ready to go.
Let's go.
That smells like prawns.
That smells like prawns.
It smells like prawns.
You've opened it up.
Oh, yeah.
The whole control room smells like prawn.
It legitimately smells like shrimp.
Like it smells like a shrimp cocktail
It does
I think it just found my favorite chip
This is amazing
It's like tangy shrimp
Oh man
Yeah whoa move into England
You're not kidding these are like
Wow, there's like a hint of like barbecue-esque
But it's cocktail sauce
There's like a barbecue flavor to it
Cocktail sauce wow
Like the parsley that like goes on the plate
With the shrimp cocktail
They've covered everything.
They've checked every box here.
I never would have guessed it, but that's a very solid flavor.
Go ahead and get it.
It's pretty good.
I mean, that's...
Wow.
This is good stuff.
This is probably the best crop of snacks we've had.
And they've all been pretty good, but this is a good crop of snacks.
The vegamite was really awful.
Yeah, vegamite was not great.
All right.
I'm Raphael Paziv.
I'm Justin Gage.
Trying to put the work in.
Let's do it.
Here we go.
Maybe a little preview.
Why am I not moving?
Oh, you know what?
We got the wrong controllers.
Oh.
Whoops, classic.
Hi-o.
Okay, here we go.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
Oh, geez.
Oh, big overhead.
Oh, big headkick.
Oh, I mean, this is actually probably, like,
the most accurate representation of what this fight's going to look like.
Come on.
Get one off here, Raphael.
Ooh, ooh, big leg kick.
How do you get out?
How do I, like, get out?
There we go.
Oh, those missing the head kicks really just cost to me.
Oh, big shot.
Oh, big shot.
Oh, big shot.
Oh, nice body kick.
Oh, barely missed.
Oh, man.
Normally get a knockout by now.
Look at your leg.
Look at your leg.
Oh, spinning back fist from me.
Oh, nice jab, too.
Oh, oh, big head kick from Gachi.
Oh my gosh, your leg is just, you're just chopping me.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, there it is.
Oh, are you going to leg kick KO me?
I think I'm going to kick TKOO.
Not yet.
Now.
There it is.
I just, I just give you my leg.
Come on, bro.
Oh, you get it.
Oh, you're kidding me.
Oh, what can I do?
What can I do?
Oh, I'm done.
I'm done for it.
Let's run it back.
Let's run it back.
I need a fresh leg.
I need a fresh leg.
Do your backflip, baby.
Go do that backflip.
Boom.
All right.
Amazing.
Run that back.
Run that back.
All right, I'm going to keep stuffing snacks down our mouth
because I got a lot to go through.
Malteseers this time.
Malteseers.
Heard this one was great.
Heard it was great.
That's all I got for you.
It looks like a...
Looks like a wopper.
Looks like a wopper.
Maltesers.
give it a go. It's a whopper.
Sure is. There's a malted milk
ball.
It's a whopper.
Actually, it's kind of better, though.
I was just about to say? It's less wopery.
I think it's definitely better.
All right. The wopper is, like, kind of cardboardy.
These are good.
There's, like, too much inside on a wopper.
This is, like, the right amount of texture.
What's wrong with you?
You're a wopper guy?
I mean, yeah.
Whoppers are fine.
Yeah.
This is, like, half and half.
It's like half chocolate.
half Whopper. Every bite's like even.
I'm going for one more Malteseeer. These are
lovely, as they said.
These are lovely.
Wow.
Even the smallest of Wopper fans
can enjoy those. Wow.
All right, here we go.
There it is.
Small. Come on.
Oh, first like kick.
What? I got weak calves, bro. I got wheat calves.
I can't do anything about this.
There's nothing I can do.
He's got weak calves.
Can I like stay down?
Can I stay down?
Can I do anything to thwart this?
There's nothing I can do.
We have to run it back.
We have to run it back.
Let's run it back.
Well, we have some wine gums.
Let's give them wine gums to try.
We're really getting the flavor of the UK right here.
My legs.
What's up?
I mean, is this a future of what's to come?
Oh, my God, it very well could be.
Oh, I like the idea of these.
Mm.
Mm.
Oh, God, that's too much.
Fruity?
You know, kind of like a Swedish fish.
I'm gonna save mine.
Bag's heavy.
That bag is like,
the bag is like abnormally heavy.
We're about to have a special guest joining us
in a matter of moments.
Oh, there it is.
Come on, some.
It'd be awesome.
Come on, son.
You can block or something.
That'd be great.
That's it.
Get up, I dare you, bro.
All right.
Don't call me weak calves ever again.
All right.
Nicely done.
You got one back.
There you go.
Two one back.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I reached for the wine gum as soon as you were.
Yes, please, take them.
Take them.
Frank, have you tried the monster much?
I have not.
But let's not keep her guests waiting for too long.
We said bring him in.
What is this, Frank?
Let's bring in Shaddy.
There he is.
The man, the myth of legend.
What's up, fellas?
The wise word, Smith.
How are you enjoying UFC 286 so far?
I'm having a great time.
I'm having a great time watching y'all,
but also I'm kind of jealous right now
because I love me some wine gums
and y'all are just feasting on these wine gums right now.
This is like a 12-pound bag of wine gums.
I want to pick some of those over to Arizona, man.
This bag.
Pound-for-bound, like heaviest snack I've ever had.
That is a bag that weighs 22 pounds.
Dude, they're dense.
They're very, very dense.
I'm a Malteseers guy.
These Malteseers are my favorite so far.
I don't know what they are.
They're like the wine gums, but they have like sugar on them too.
They have like a bunch of sugar on them.
My dad would always get me those when he would go places.
I want some of those now.
Oh, man.
Wow.
Sean.
What a fight night, y'all.
Yeah, it's been fun.
Every fight has exceeded expectation.
The Gunnar Nuss fight was kind of where we expected this to go.
if that fight hit the map, but Vittori Delizze was fun.
Casey O'Neill, Jennifer May, it was fun.
Jennifer Maya looked really, really good in this fight.
And now, Shaquine, we're about to get Justin Gaichi versus Raphael Fiziv.
Now, you were supposed to be on the previews yesterday.
We'd call it Audible.
We got A.K. in there, and he did an admirable job.
But paint us a word picture, Sean.
Paint us a word picture for what we were about to see.
My Lord, man.
I mean, Justin Gaichie.
I might hold the record for most times been in the arena
for a Justin Gachie fight at the MMA media.
I was been following this guy because he's an Arizona guy.
I was following this guy before the UFC, before WSOF.
Like, I've seen this guy enraged in the cage,
just put out bangers.
There is nothing like being in the arena
or a Justin Gachie fight.
This whole week, it feels like his mission
has been to proclaim himself the most exciting man in MMA.
I ain't going to argue with them, man.
If anybody who was in the arena for those two Louise Paul
Alamedo fights in WSOF.
It was an out-of-body experience.
Wow.
How many just-engate-you fights, have you seen in person?
Double digits, probably.
Wow.
Oh, wow.
That's amazing.
Chearing.
There's not many Arizona guys.
Has he somewhat become a fan favorite for you?
I mean, it's just memorable, right?
Like, he gives you memories with the way that he puts his body on the line.
And also this one, I love this one because we've been banging the drama.
I don't have been fighting on this for a while now.
but this lightweight division has been so stuck in the mud for so long.
These up-and-comers, the physives, the Jalen Turner's, et cetera, et cetera,
have not been getting their opportunities to fight the stalwarts.
And now we're finally starting to see it,
starting to unclog itself a little bit.
And this is one of the first ones of that.
I'm really excited to see that point.
I was going to say I'm very much looking forward to this one, man.
I mean, I've been saying it all week.
Justin Gachie is one of the most exciting fighters in all of MMA.
and Rafael Fazeev is a perfect dance partner.
I love this fight.
Also, too, it kind of, correct me if I'm wrong,
but it kind of feels like this is a real crossroads for Justin, right?
Like, he might be on his last.
Eileen Fiziv, but Justin might be sort of this.
If Justin loses this fight, like where are you headed after this?
That's right.
Like, if he won the UFC title right now,
I'm pretty sure he would already be the oldest UFC,
lightweight champion in the history of the promotion.
Like, this is not a division that is kind to people in their mid-30s, man.
Or, you know, later in their 30s.
Like, this is just a young man's division.
If he doesn't win this, like, that might be the end of we see, we knowing it as
Justin Gagee, a title contender, but.
I'm not going to lie.
Seeing him as, as an underdog is pretty crazy in this spot.
A fair size underdog as well.
What is, where is he closing at?
Let's see.
Something.
It was plus 200 yesterday.
Yeah, I'm going to guess he's like high.
high 100s right now.
Closing odds for Justin Gaei.
Plus 215.
Wow.
Justin Gae not fighting H.
Mugimov.
You're closer to minus 300 for Raphael Fiziziz.
Wild.
Jeez.
That's wild.
By the way, G.C., what's the damage tonight?
How are you doing on these bets?
I'm doing all right.
I'm doing all right.
I got potential.
I got Rafael Fiziv.
And I got Usman in the over one and a half.
Well, I kept it tight this week.
So, like, at worst, the damage isn't going to be too bad.
Still have a path to a winning week.
Yeah, man, I just can't.
I can't get out of my own way in 2023, I guess.
I don't know what it is, man.
I'm baffled by some of these results.
The Chris Duncan Omar Morales fight going in the distance.
I was pretty shocked by that.
Did not expect D-1 Duncan to come out.
Justin Gagey, who can breathe through his nose
from what he told me last year,
the first time ever in his mixed martial arts career,
it's about to happen.
He is in the octagon.
Let's go to the tail of the tape for this co-main event.
The cartwheel wheel wheel.
Oh, this is going to get crazy.
Justin Gagie is in the cage.
This man gives us fight of the years.
He has three already for him and they fight.
He can get us a fourth.
I know.
It's very possible.
Jesse Gagee four years older, three inches taller.
Fiziv, inch and a half for each advantage.
Both been 156, making the lightweight limit for this absolute banger.
The physique on Fiziv is something to behold.
It's the hair physique combo.
It's just.
Oh, yeah, beards great too.
I mean, he is yoked, man.
Yes.
We are three men who struggle in the hair department.
So it's glorious hair like that.
preach on it, man.
Fantastic.
I admire you holding on to the dream, though, G.C.
You're doing it for the rest of it.
It's coming soon.
30, 31.
It's coming.
It's next two, three years.
Nah, I don't even give it three.
Next two years, it's gone.
Not going to be able to get that Keeps sponsorship anytime soon.
No, I've never tried that.
Not worth it.
Not worth it.
How long have you been holding on to that one, Frank?
This is the beginning of the show.
And right now, Joe was like, don't do it.
Don't do it.
I'm like, there's three of them.
It'll be fine.
I was going to say, I take no offense to it.
I don't know.
I can't speak for you all.
Yeah.
It's just sort of something you just have to accept.
No, yeah.
I was 19 years old at a great clips
when some haircut or barber told me
that I was going to go bald in the next two years.
And that's a real shock for a 19 year old.
Oh, God, yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, I remember the first time someone was just like,
yeah, it seems like your hairlines are seating.
I, like, legitimately couldn't believe it.
I was like, oh, this is devastating news for me.
Did you wear hats a lot?
No, I've never really, like, hidden it.
It just kind of is what it is.
I was told, because I used to wear hats, like, everywhere.
And not because of his bald, like, even as a...
I do, like, wearing hats, like, just naturally.
And be like, well, it's because you wore hats your whole life.
I think it's karma.
Nah.
I used to rag on my father for being bald, and I would tell, like, one joke too many.
I've heard that it's your mother's, your mother's father.
That's where you get the hair jeans from.
I don't know if there's any truth to that.
But my mother's father is bald as hell, so I believe it.
I don't know.
My hand smells like,
here we go.
Look at Mark Goddard's face.
Here we go.
Goddard doesn't want to get that.
Is there a new,
new mythical fighter tonight?
Justin Gaitchie with the nose.
Let's see.
Enough of us.
Breathingi about being bald.
And look at Fiziv.
Holy smokes.
Here we go.
Let's go.
This is happening, friends.
Fiziv going to try to get a right to the body right away.
Fizu got something on his fingers or something.
One of my biggest questions is like,
these guys just going to get right after it,
or is there going to be like a quick feeling out process?
Feels like they're feeling...
Ooh, oh!
Going back to the video game,
Justin Gajee must have been tuned in.
He knows the calves are weak.
Over and over again.
And he, like, that was a...
That was one that he showed from a mile away.
Yes, throws with violence, too.
Zeeve did not like that, like...
Did not like that leg.
appreciated it very much.
He keeps like, I don't know if that's a Fazeev thing.
He keeps wiping his hand.
Interesting.
That might just be something that he does, a fighting tick.
Yeah, and now I see it.
Let's see, let's see.
Oh, nice body.
The body from Gage's.
I bet he'll do it again.
It's smart.
These are, there's not a ton of weakness to Fiziv's game,
but kicks of the body, kicks of the legs.
Yeah.
Kind of kryptonitey.
I mean, Gaci, honestly.
Gachis.
If you go to the body enough like that.
The body for Gaghi is a tough, tough spot, too.
Yeah, it feels like Fiziv is not going to give up a leg kick that telegraphed.
It's easy again.
Has anyone landed a punch yet?
Just been kicks?
Lots of kicks.
Oh, there's a punch.
Oh, Fiziv.
Oh, they're shocking them down.
Man, he missed on that, but he threw it out.
Oh, there both lines there.
Oh, here we go.
Here we go, fellas.
I mean, these dudes are so down.
I love it.
Damn.
Gagy's body already bright pink.
Yeah.
Oh, man.
Oh, man.
Hockey fight time.
Oh, good knee from Fiziv.
Fizizzee's over his left eyes.
Already getting quite red, too.
He just switched the stance.
Yeah, I was going to say, switch the stance.
Gajus is such a rugged fighter.
Yes.
Gets into those hockey exchanges sometimes.
But Gaichi trying to get Fiziv to get a little reckless
would be probably a smart decision right now.
Oh, yeah.
Very impressed with Justin's composure right now.
He's letting this come to him.
I like it.
Didn't see that coming.
Head movements.
Oh, nice little bit.
That was pretty, but I'm Justin Gaichie.
Crowd is into it, singing away.
I don't know how you couldn't be into it.
It feels like something you can't take your eyes off of.
Oh.
Nice combo.
Nothing crazy.
Oh,
back to the body from Zeev talking about something.
Wow, nice combo.
Zeev's saying something in there.
Oh, nice right hand.
That looked like it hurt just.
Zeeve nailed them.
Oh, back to the body.
Both landed.
That leg kick to it.
Oh, my God.
They are swinging.
This is the best.
But you're right, Sean.
This is.
Oh, oh, nice.
A lot of controlled chaos, but.
This is like even dialed back even more,
but he still, when he lands, it is violent.
How, like, how your mind can even process things
when you're in a fight like this?
I just don't know.
This fight, does fight kind of get, I mean.
Oh, nice body kick.
Oh, my gosh.
Gichi swung for the fences on that one.
We've seen them both swing for the fences a couple times in this.
Final minute.
I feel like I'm watching this fight for,
I just, it's so intense.
Yes, like I got the knee jitters going.
I'm like doing the sit-up straight thing.
I've switched stances like 18 times.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's like you can't get comfortable.
Oh, this is a total.
Oh, oh, all right.
Yeah, he said he was something to be the first going to shoot.
He was, he was.
Giving him something to think about.
Yeah.
This is a close freaking round, too.
Those low kicks, man.
Cannot feel good.
I feel like the last like 10 seconds of this round are just going to be absolute mayhem.
Oh, how did that, like, how did Justin just walk through that?
You could hear that on the broadcast.
Holy cow.
There's a firing bow.
Wow.
I didn't even score that.
Did you see Raphael Fizim, I'm pretty sure at the end.
He said, good round, bro.
Just like, oh, yeah, we just had a five-minute war.
Golly.
That felt like two minutes.
I don't even
like that.
That's good, Frankie.
Thank you.
What did you say, Frank?
I'm sorry, I didn't hear you.
I guess I didn't.
I don't even know how to score that.
I think I got to borrow you.
I mean, I'm going with 10-9 all of us.
We all won that round.
There's not a room on the score.
Very close at the end, that big knee.
I'm going to give it to Fiziv.
10-9 M-A.
10-9 M-M-A.
At night, all of us.
I'm going to give it to Gaichi.
I'm going to give that around to Gaci.
There's a big moment.
There's a big moment.
It was enough.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Can I see a replay of the knee?
Like, did it finish flush?
It felt like that was the biggest strike of the round, right?
I need to see, like a replay of it.
Because the way it sounded, it sounded like Gaci should have gotten dropped.
Gaci didn't even blink.
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
That's the craziest thing.
We didn't get a replay of it.
I mean, I love that.
Raphael just, like, keeps like, kind of like, checking in on him as the fight goes
on. He's like, yeah, man, good round, dude. We're having fun out here, yeah?
Rafael Fiziv minus 400 on the live line. That actually seems pretty surprising.
Minus 400. It moved up even more. Yeah, H.E. Plus 300. That seems surprising.
The cards are accurate, right?
Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I said 10-9 Fiziv. Oh, nice body.
Oh, body work, man. Oh, elbow off the break. Those kicks snap, dude. It's incredible.
He's coming out on fire right now.
He keeps stance switching, too.
The fans just...
Let's just go.
I honestly had no idea
to score that round.
Oh, dude, yeah,
if you told me he scored it for Gatjeet.
It's just like, okay.
That's...
Oh, that's...
He's tapping on me really well.
Oh, there we go.
Oh, all right.
Gaecchi overhand right.
Just missed.
Oh, Fizu ties it up.
Tying up the clinch.
Right in the center of the cage.
Oh, I like that.
Oh, snake to the body.
Oh, snake back.
You saw that coming.
I mean, that's...
Head movement.
Oh, we got an eye poke?
I love the way for Zeeves is acting about it.
He's just like, yeah, you got me.
Just one second.
Just one second, I'll be good.
He's just running.
Goddard had to stop him.
Shout out to Goddard.
The real star of this fight.
The real MEP.
The real star of this fight, right, Frank?
Oh, geez.
Oh, that was a good one.
A pinky.
Oh.
Oh, I mean, that was like...
Rough one.
Yeah.
Oh, nice elbow from...
Got the right cheek, the nostrils, and the eyeball.
Oh.
Oh.
Here's your...
Josh and Gaet.
This fight is insane.
Michael Chandler.
Shout out.
Yeah, shout out Chandler, bro.
Tweeting up a storm.
Getting ready for his appearance on the ultimate fighter.
Yeah.
Jed Michoud is so excited about the...
But seeing Michael Chandler for a full season of the Ultimate Fighter?
I can't wait for tough, yeah.
He loves Michael Chandler.
Oh, I know, yeah, yeah.
He's a big fan.
Ooh, these.
Oh, Gives got the body work on, man.
Nice.
Oh, nice knee.
Dude, Justin's working the legs for Zeeves working the body.
This is excellent.
This is high level, high level MMA.
Yes, for sure.
I.
High level striking MMA, too, which is just always a pleasure to watch.
Gage is just so collected tonight.
Oh, nice, nice
Like a five-punch combo
Oh, nice
Big exchange of both guys
It's just like it feels like even though
Oh, great
Roaster from Viziva and a knee up top
Engage his answers right for heck
A car crash every time these dudes start throwing
The tension right now is nuts
That's so sick
Oh
Wow, nice Frank Frank
It was pretty well timed
And as Fiziv went back to the body
and Justin threw some nice
combination. Oh, good left hand for your
Steve! Oh, they're just going for it.
Islam Makachev is...
Nonstop action, shout out.
Just under two minutes ago.
I just got like nervous energy, dude.
Like, I just like can't stop moving.
Can Dana White get on the mic and just be like,
you know what?
We're going to make this five rounds.
We're going to make this five rounds, people.
That would be sick.
This is why lightweight's the best division in the sport.
Yes.
Come on.
Thank you.
Pretty even striking numbers.
Like, Cheeto, Cheeto and Sanhagen is going to be fun.
It ain't going to be this.
I mean, this is...
Oh, nice.
That was right.
With a little short uppercut.
Gage's hand speeds really, really, he's just quick as hell tonight.
Both guys.
This is...
Is there a world...
That nose breathing, man.
That nose breathing is a game changer.
What did you say, Frank?
Is there a world where this is a draw?
Nah, I mean, someone would have to lose a point.
my opinion.
I mean, yeah.
We still got
five minutes and 40 seconds
to find that out also.
Someone could get finished.
Oh, that faint.
That was a good thing.
That was a good thing.
That was a good thing.
Oh, that left came barely missed with Pizzee.
He's got Gagee guessing a little bit.
But Gagey landed on a nice counter too.
Yeah, yeah, man.
We get Fizzieb bleeding
a little bit more.
This is so close,
Smith.
It's such a crazy fight.
Ooh.
Fiziv just got out of the way of that head kick.
Nice body kick.
Oh, Goddard!
That's...
You're about to throw a rolling thunder there?
What was that?
Frank, that is why...
That is why Mark Goddard should be on that.
Yeah.
Herb Dean would have just been like,
hmm.
He would have let him finish the combo.
Yeah, he would have let Justin hit Fizzle 43 times.
I'll go 109.
Gae.
I'll go, uh, it is one-one.
Really?
So 19-19.
I'm going 10.
9 for Zeev. I'll give, I'm scoring that one for Zeev as well, but I have no confidence.
So I have no idea where this is right now. Yeah, I think it's 1919. I don't know how you get there.
I think it's nice. Somehow they're showing like a situation is like this. I'm looking at the
live odds right now and it's minus 115 both ways. Really. Ooh, that's swung hard. So the faces yet.
Judges just try to even it out going to the final round when they know it's kind of up for grabs.
the only thing about that frank the the faces thing i i feel as if like uh raphael he's been working much more to
the body and most of gaecchi's work has been to the head and that's why it looks like he's more
damaged oh man the judge is like a face that's true all right here we have to know this final
round might be about to see magic right here oh no he's he clipped him oh but gaecis is like all right
I like Gatchy's chin is crazy, bro.
It's insane.
So, oh, that uppercut.
Nice knee.
Oh, he's come.
Oh, back to the body.
He's Justin hurt.
I think he's fine.
I think he's fine.
He ripped a rib rosary back.
Oh, here comes in knee.
Yeah, nice knee.
Something nasty.
Gage's good in the spot, though.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, right hand from Gachie.
Look at defense.
This guy's just.
Crazy first minute, dude.
Crazy first minute.
Oh, good combination from Gachi.
The body stuff is great.
For those who are questioning Justin Gagey's chin,
it is held up and then some time.
I mean, like he has eaten some giant shots.
Fiziv's too.
Fiziv has looked on a face.
He's talking about his chin.
That would hurt.
His toughness, period, to eat these body shots, man.
And the knees, man.
Oh.
Like Fiziviv is investing in the body.
But Justin's not slowing, like usually that would slow down or something.
Those what's on the line, man.
Oh, nice combination, head, body.
Oh, Gagey.
Oh, Gage goes right?
Can he get him?
Whoa.
I don't know what that was, but it was freaking cool.
I tried something.
Jumped up did something.
Three minutes to go.
Maybe he's just trying to get in his head.
Oh, my gosh.
Oh man, this is
This is anybody's fight, dude
Oh, we're the live odds right now
Minus 290 Fiziv
But I don't know, I think it's closer than that
I think it's closer than that
I think it's closer than that
Wow
I mean it was probably just because of the hot start
For this round for Fiziv
Oh
Someone's corner just yelled
Don't get lazy on it
I think it might have been Fiziziz.
Yeah, Fiziv looks like he's slowing down
a little but he's still so friggin' dangerous
Significant striking, no, razor thin.
Yes, the pace is insane.
Half a round to go.
Fiziv is a mess.
His right eye is a bloody mess.
Gagy is,
Gagy seems like the fresher fighter right now.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, no doubt, no doubt.
Mythical creature.
Just had to get that septum fixed.
Nice, like it.
Oh, good left again.
Oh, nice left hand again.
Oh, wow.
Big right here for just.
All right, yeah.
Gagy with a combination,
capping it with the right uppercut.
Ooh.
Fiziv's still throwing,
but Gajie is landing much cleaner right now.
Oh, nice kick to the body.
Oh.
Gagee just got out of the right hand.
Yeah, that was like a hammer fist from Gachi.
Yeah.
It's just like, how do you even prepare for the halation face
that Justin puts on you, man?
Like, what is it?
He's just jabbing.
Like, Justin.
Justin Gage is jabbing away.
I think it's beautiful.
Oh.
Fiziv keeps moving forward.
What a nasty uppercut from Justin Gaci.
That jabbed another uppercut.
Oh, man.
Justin's feeling it.
Yeah.
This is definitely a Gachi round.
The UK crowd is going crazy right now.
Gachielands another right head.
Fiziv is a mess right now.
He is bleeding in multiple places.
Oh.
Oh, whoa, Gasea.
Oh.
You're all right, Mike?
It's just a crazy fight.
Oh, what an uppercut from Gage!
I think Gage is going to get this, man.
The round of the fight.
30 seconds.
The fight.
Oof.
Oh, my God.
That's a lot of blood.
20 seconds.
A lot of blood.
Gachi chance all throughout the other hand.
We're about to see some legendary sprint to the finish here.
Oh, good left hand from Gachi after eating a knee to the body.
Oh, an uppercut!
Oh.
Viziv is going.
And he all goes for a good.
Day 30,
telling you,
Justin Gage
out at the end.
Wow.
Holy shnikes.
I think
I think Justin Gage
just won this
fight.
That's definitely
a Gaci
round.
Now it's coming
down to that
first round,
I would imagine,
right?
Big third round
for Gachi.
Wow.
I think that'll
be 29, 28,
Gachie.
Really just a 10-9,
though.
You thought that was a 10-8,
Frank?
I just asked you if it was a 10-9.
I didn't see anything.
I'm scoring
at 29-28.
for Justin Gaichie, but I don't, I mean, I just don't know how to score those first two.
What a freaking fight.
I'll tell you what, regardless of who wins that, we wrote Justin's obituary a bit too soon.
That man has a ton left in him.
That was unreal.
It was incredible.
Yeah, I'm curious, man.
Oh.
Let's see what the people are saying.
Yeah, what's the chat saying?
Oh, look at that.
Oh, my God.
All right, now, do we think that,
do we think if Fizib gets his hand raised,
it's a robbery because of the third round?
No.
No.
No, I don't either.
I don't either.
You could have won the first round.
It's very possible.
They were all, I mean,
the clearest round of the fight was that third round for Gachy.
The other two are up in the air, in my opinion.
Forever in odds, just Gagee, man.
How can one man give us so many fights like this?
And that was like a different kind of style.
A lot of jab heavy, Gachi, but still like controlled chaos was taken up even like another notch,
but he still was super fun and compelling.
Only Justin Gichi.
Can we just even got to take down?
Can we just give him a Hall of Fame spot right now?
Like, he can keep fighting.
I don't care.
They do it in WWE all the time.
Oh, I mean, he's on the Mount Rushmore of all action fighters.
Oh, it has to be.
Oh, man.
Let's see how this plays out.
This, what if I,
Splitty?
Wow.
Splitty time.
Here we go.
What?
Oh, called it.
Justin Gagchi?
Wow.
Justin Gage wins a majority to sit.
28, 28?
Did we hear it?
Yeah, was that a 10-8 that we heard at the end there?
I mean, I.
So.
Maybe he gave Justin a 10-8 round three?
So they're saying,
Fiziv one rounds one and two?
To me, that's a wild 10.8.
But Gaichi got a 10-8-third?
That's a wild scorecard.
That's insane.
I mean, I live in a role where that was a thing, you know?
2-28-28-28-28?
29-28, and then he said, this judge scored at 29-28,
and then read a 28-28 scorecard.
Yeah.
Tell him, Justin.
Critics?
No, yeah, it was 2-29-28s, and then 1-28-huh.
Wild.
How long before we could see the cards?
Yeah.
If we can get the...
There's been some weird cards
tonight, Shaheen.
3027
Bartmatory.
I was about to say,
you beat me to it.
That's,
that's a choice.
That's a card.
I can't get my eyes on him.
That's one of those times
where I really wish we did
what basketball did,
where you can talk to the,
there's like a pool reporter
that goes and talks to the officials
after the game
and you can get like three or four questions in.
I just want that man to
to explain the 30,
27 Vittory.
So Paul Sutherland scored the 3027 for Vittory.
I think Paul Sutherland scored the 2828 in this fight too.
I'll have to look at it when the card comes up,
but I think Bruce Buff,
I know Bruce Buffer said that man's name at some point
in reading off those cards, but.
Amen.
What a freaking fight.
Nose breathing Justin Gagey.
We got ourselves a new one.
Just give him the freaking title fight.
Let's go.
Nose breathing Justin Gachi.
Habib didn't get to fight nose breathing Justin Gaci.
B.
didn't get to fight nose breathing Justin Gachi.
He got messy nose Justin Gachi.
It's a whole different, this is a whole different catch.
Shaheen Al Shadi.
That was, that was fun.
What a great fight.
That was a fantastic fight.
They actually delivered.
Hell.
Incredible stuff.
Shaheen.
God.
It must suck being on a Justin Gachy car because you just know you're not getting
fight of the night.
Like regardless of what's happening.
No way.
Yeah, no way you are.
What was the fight on the prelims?
That was really fun.
What was the fight on the game?
Lorone Murphy and...
La Roan Murphy...
Santos.
Yeah, someone tweeted out earlier.
They're like,
Lorone Murphy, Gabriel Santos
is this card's version
of Shane Burgos
versus Billy Quarantillo
because now they're stuck
at a Justin Gage card.
You know the straight rules.
It's never going to get fight of the way.
We got Game of Thrones in the house.
Are you stark?
Colby.
There's Colby Covington.
Wearing a pink smoking jacket.
Unbelievable.
It feels like we just...
Just shut the camera.
Feels like we haven't seen him in forever, man.
Like we said earlier, you can't miss you if you don't leave.
And he's left long enough, apparently, because...
Have you been surprised by this reaction, Shaheen?
Like, everyone just...
Everyone just loving Colby right now.
He's been the top of the week.
I think it's because it came out of nowhere, right?
Like, we didn't even know that man...
We hadn't spoken that man's name until all of a sudden randomly yesterday.
All right.
Shane, what do you think?
Main event?
What's your made event pick?
Yeah.
Oh, boy, I've gone back and forth all week, but I think I lean Usman.
I don't think Usman's done.
It's very close to the camera during his shadow boxing.
That, it's the ring light, too?
I wish I saw him, I wish I saw the zebra suit in his closet before I made my official
pay.
The zebra suit is, uh, the zebra suit almost swayed me back to Usen.
Silver.
But I'm going with momentum and just all the intangibles pointing at Leon Edwards, but I'm not
confident in that pick at all.
I just feel like Ousman's about to Oostman all over this place.
Like this might not be the most fun fight to watch, but I think, I don't know.
I have a feeling.
He couldn't pick a worst city in the world to Oostit all over the place than against
Leon Edwards in London.
Shaheen, you're the man.
There's just nobody.
That game looks awesome, Frank.
I wish I could play Tech and Eight.
Me too.
I think we all wish you could play Tech at Eight.
But, Jeanne, enjoy the main event, my man.
You've been a wonderful co-made event co-hosts with us, and that fight delivered in spades.
And I think it's partly because you were with us, Shaheen.
I give you all the credit.
Jeanne, you're the man.
Oh, I appreciate you guys so much.
It's always a pleasure.
I can't wait for this next one.
It's going to be fun.
Let's go.
Shot Al-Shoddy, the Wise Wordsmith.
You'll see him later on on the post-fight show.
Let's go.
If memory serves you correctly.
So.
All right.
Yeah.
Main event time.
We will have a special guest for the main event.
I don't think anything else is happening,
but I could be wrong.
I mean, who knows?
Who knows?
Who knows?
Justin Gagee did say, by the way,
because we were just caught up in the moment
and the emotion of the whole fight.
Jessica Gachie said,
I'm taking one more run at the title,
but I won't be around much longer.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
I like that.
Okay.
Leon Edwards, plus 230,
going into the main event.
All right, we're waiting on main event, Rick.
Do we want to, you know, eat a Percy Peg?
We got one more snack in us, baby.
What is this what supposed to taste like?
I have no idea.
I have no idea.
You know what?
I mean, let's let the people know.
What are you letting the people know?
Well, I was just looking at Joe's parlay.
Is it okay if I read this out?
Yeah, I can't believe we still showed it to you.
I told him not.
I mean, Big J.G.
Marvin Vittori, Jennifer Maya, Gunner Nelson, Justin Gachie, Leon Edwards,
$5 to win $218.
Joe, just behind the scenes.
keep going with it, right?
If it's $5, let it ride.
That's what I said.
Is there a cash out option?
Yeah, 53.
Good 10-fold your money.
What's the main event pick?
Leon Edwards.
Oh.
Should he hedge?
Should he hedge?
Don't ask me.
I don't know anything.
I've already locked up another league.
I don't know how you.
Don't ask me anything.
I'm clueless when it comes to this sport.
I don't know if there's enough value to hedge.
Yeah, you'd be hedging on a minus 280.
Unless you want to bet like $100 on it.
Let it.
ride.
Play it right.
Fire it up.
Fire it up.
There's the UFC 287 main card.
Alex Pereira, Israel Adasania, Gilbert Burns,
Jorge Mazadol, Rob Fomp
versus Adrian Yannias,
Kevin Holland versus Santiago-Ponsanibio,
Raul Roses Jr.
versus Christian Rodriguez.
That main card is sick.
All right, here we go.
Percy Pig, real fruit juice.
Only at M&S food shops.
Oh my God.
This is not what I expect.
Everything that I've put my hands on and tasted was not what I expected.
These are like gummy pigs.
Look at those.
I love how intracial all this is.
Bring them in.
Say hi.
NER was good with you, bro.
Main event, Rick.
Hey, boys.
How we doing?
Thank you.
Does it taste like pig?
That was it for you, Rick.
I'm sorry.
Yeah.
Sorry, I thought you were having a separate conversation, Frank.
That's good to do to guess as soon as they come.
come on the show is just have cross-chatter
instead of letting them answer the question.
You know what it does taste a pig?
It does.
I'm doing great.
Hearing us chew?
Yes, for sure.
Gaichi and Fiziv delivered.
So I'm doing fantastic.
I'm loving it.
If I was incredible.
How did you feel when Juliana Miller lost the opening bout, New York, Rick?
And the pressure of the parlay pals is completely off of all of you because it was already
over before the event really even got going.
What kind of question?
I think you want me to bury Frank here.
but what I'm going to say is my pick also lost,
the great Casey O'Neill.
So I'm not going to do that.
I'm not going to do any of that.
I'm going to say, Frank, it's a pleasure to ride with you as always.
GC, you're the man, Helwani, wherever you are out there.
Love you.
So, yeah, no, Parley Pals stick together.
Seems like all I can do is the only picks that I can get right
are the ones in the Parley Pals on losing Parley.
Maybe you're on to something.
That's been my 2023.
Yeah, I get those picks right, and the Parley still lose.
everything else I'm just a big old loser it's gonna suck when you know I don't I don't
subscribe to that either you're the you're the best I appreciate that look at us lifting
each other up final prediction New York Rick yeah I mean I feel the way Kamara Usman
felt how could you watch the two fights and not come away thinking across 7.5 rounds
that he was just the better fighter like that that that's
that's how it is.
And then that point five was one of the most spectacular finishes in
MMA history in sports history.
It was absolutely incredible.
But unless Camaro Usman is not the same Camaro Usman,
I don't feel like I can lean toward Leon.
I don't buy, I will say this.
I don't subscribe to any of the altitude stuff.
The altitude's going to affect Leon the same way.
It's going to affect Camaro, so I don't buy any of that.
It seems like Leon has made a point to talk about that.
But yeah, I'm thinking.
thinking this is going to be Kamaru.
But Leon could be leveling up, and Kamaru could be on the way out the door.
So let's see how this goes, but I'm leaning Kamaru for sure.
I think so.
I think I'm going to go with the nightmare.
I think he gets it done and new.
I'm going Leon Edwards, fourth round submission.
Whoa.
Club and sub.
Okay.
I've seen a few people on Leon Edwards by submission.
I just got a weird feeling.
Again, I don't have a lot of confidence in this.
I could you imagine the best kamar usman beats the best leon edwards every single time 100%.
And I don't think like I don't think ushman's washed that whole narrative is just anybody who says that is just not true.
But he's not the best kamar usen anymore.
He just isn't.
So it's just a matter of and I think we are going to get the best leon edwards you've ever seen tonight.
I feel good about that.
I like that prediction from you.
But is 80% of long raining.
champion Kamara Uspen enough to beat the best Leon Edwards or 85% that's the question I have
any damn well could but I just feel like all the intangibles all the storylines everything
outside of just the in octagon stuff I just feel like so much momentum is just leaning towards
Leon right now that I can't pick against him but it wouldn't be at all if who's been wins
this fight there's definitely potential that Kamaru is not at his peak right
that he's on the downside.
I wouldn't say far down that road,
but there's definitely potential for that.
The other thing I'll say is,
Kumar Usman,
for not a short amount of time,
for quite a few fights already,
he has been talking about
how he's not going to do this forever.
And once you kind of crack open that door,
it's a hard one to close.
I don't think Kamara Usman doesn't prepare.
I don't think Kamar Usman is a relentless competitor.
I don't think it's going to be a situation
where he doesn't show up based on that.
But once you crack open that door
on the idea that you're leaving,
it kind of does change things.
It kind of does change things.
So let's see what happens.
Well, let's just hope Paul Sutherland is not a judge for this fight.
Because not only did Paul Sutherland drop the egregious 3027 Marvin Vittori scorecard.
He is also the judge who dropped the 28-28 scorecard.
How did you get there?
In the Colmate event.
Tell me the past.
Fiziv, round 1, 10, 9.
Fiziv, round 2, 10-9, just engage you 10-8 round 3.
28-28, 28-28.
We're saying that's what it was.
That's, I just don't see a 28.
He got rocked throughout the entire first minute.
Like a 10-8 has to be a dominant
from opening bell to the finish.
Yeah, that is not a 10-8.
This guy should not be judging anymore.
What were the other two, 29-28, Gachi?
29-28, Gachi.
All the scores are different.
Mark Collette scored it.
10-9 for Zeeve round one,
two and three for Gachi.
And Clemens Werner scored it the same way.
I did. Gachy 1 and 3, Fizzi round 2.
All right. So, I mean, at the end of the day, Gachie was going to win anyway.
Yeah.
It was just whether it was split decision or majority decision.
Look at Kamar Uisman coming out as the B side.
He's got the blue tape on his hands.
I haven't seen that in a while.
It's happening, folks.
Here comes Camaro Oussman.
Look at Whitman's crazy ass in the back.
I was about to say.
Here comes Whitman two in a row.
Women's happy no matter what, dude.
How do you go from like cornering Justin Freakry
Ghaecchi against Raphael Fazeve, and then you have to...
I love it. He's getting rained booze.
He looks like he's feeling good, man.
He looks like he's feeling himself.
He is feeling himself.
It's been kind of feeling himself the last couple days, really.
I feel like he's kind of been feeling himself for the last, you know, however long his life.
He's just kind of a guy that carries himself with a lot of confidence.
I can see that.
All right, we're about to get the Leon Wall.
Martin Lawrence is Leone walk to.
Camar Oosman.
Marking.
Oh man.
Well, now I feel good.
What's Leon Edwards going to walk to?
Yeah, what is Leon walk to?
Does he have a regular walkout song?
I think he does, right?
I would do some sort of remix to like head kick dead or whatever.
Like something like that.
I don't know.
I don't even know what Usman's walking out to.
David Martin, our resident's music expert, would probably know.
Can we give Camaro credit a shout-out and some,
some dapp for his impression of Leon's corner this week?
That was friggin hilarious.
Yes, although I saw some people trying to dog Camaro for that.
I thought it was fantastic.
He nailed it.
Dog him out.
Like, what were they saying?
Just Camaro Lusman haters.
Just like, I saw someone be like, oh, he's glitching out or something.
And it's just like, no, he's just talking trash.
Yeah, he was talking trash, and it was funny.
You're getting bullied in there.
But I also liked Leon's trash talk.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And the first fight was like, what happened when I had kicked you?
Yeah, it was just like, what are we talking about?
How did you like, how did you exploit your game plan in the last flight?
He's like, I put my shit on his head.
I thought they both had good trash talk.
I like both these dudes, man.
While we wait for Leon.
Like Usman.
Justin Gajee, the most exciting fighter who's ever stepped foot in the octagon?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, ever.
Wow.
Wow.
Ever.
He's up there.
I think I got to say, yeah.
Yeah.
And I think, I think, I know, I'm always, I'm always wary of making statements like that.
Zeeves top 10.
Like, I think.
The second after a banger like that just happened.
Yeah, Fiziv's on his way, but he needs more reps.
Here we go.
Leon Edwards walkout.
Oh my gosh, the arena looks so sick.
Every phone in that stadium is out, flashlight on.
It sounds like it's a song from the UK.
I probably will not recognize it.
I don't know the song, but could be a mixture.
Could be starting here and moving on to something else.
When Nate Diaz walks out, there's like five songs to play when he walks out.
Yeah, I mean, like McGregor walks out to the Irish.
Is that a target?
That's pretty cool.
Yeah, is that a target in the middle?
Yeah, it sure is.
something Michael Rapporte makes nothing about the target.
Yeah.
Michael Rapport.
Worst arts I've ever seen in my entire life, by the way.
Some people just don't have it, you know.
Well, one of the funniest moments,
I can't get Helwani's laugh out of my mind after those missed art.
Here comes Leon Edwards looking focused.
Looks focused, man.
Looks ready to go.
Here we go.
Fans are going bananas.
Oh, yeah.
Smile in the face.
Oh, yeah.
Heroes welcome.
Heroes welcome
This is freaking cool
I love that angle
The above angle
The behind angle
This has got to be pretty crazy for him man
The side angle
Like he's looking at the sea
Next to his name
In London
And he looks
He looks ready to go
I mean if he wins again
In emphatic fashion
This place is going to go insane
Who says it's a fluke
If you say it's a fluke
Then
Colby
Is Dr.
I love it.
It could be the next one up.
Maybe Connor, maybe Colby.
If Leon wins, he is definitely in the conversation.
There's no doubt about it.
Yeah, it feels like they've told him something.
Like, for him to be coming out this brash and ready to go,
being the backup fighter.
Yeah, they're saying, hey, if Gilbert Burns beat Torhe Mazadol,
you're fighting Leon Edwards next.
That's what I think.
That's what I think he's preparing for.
And Usman win is the worst.
case for Colby here, right?
Yeah.
But it's the best case for Blahoma.
And he wins and retires?
Just throwing it out then.
I don't think that happens.
No?
No.
Okay.
I'm going to be honest.
I think they're all behind Connor McGregor if he wins.
I think he calls his shot.
I think, I think, yeah, he's still going to be Chandler.
Yeah, we got this outcome and then the McGregor outcome.
Because I don't think, I don't think they're going to stick somebody in there until the
Connor fight.
Woo, man.
I just crossed each other's past.
This is going to be nice.
Seems friendly.
I don't know.
Yeah, I'm sure it's friendly, Frank.
I'm sure they're just...
I'm telling you what, though.
I can't wait to hug it out.
If I'm Kamar Ushman, I win this fight,
the only name that comes out of my mouth is Connor McGregors.
No other name.
No other name.
Colby just leaves the entire arena if he loses.
Yeah.
What does Leon's mouthpiece say?
I hope they show.
I bet I'll show it when he's getting announced.
Yeah.
I don't know if there's a message on that.
The Midnight Venom kicks, guys.
The kits, the dark blue.
Yeah, I like it.
I like those, yeah.
Not bad.
Pretty cool.
All right, for the final time tonight, let's go to the tail of the tape.
I'm going to get another prawn crisp.
Go get that prong crisp.
Trilegee fight, one-one, all on the line for the welterweight championship of the world.
Leon Edwards, four years younger.
Both guys six feet tall.
Ouse has got a two-inch reach advantage.
Both been weighted 170 pounds.
Let's go.
We've had so many questions leading into this fight,
so many intangible,
so many different storylines and angles.
It's about that time to get some answers.
Listen to Buffer saying, baby, let's go.
First Buffer getting everyone fired up.
Yeah, you feel good about Herb being the ref?
Yeah, I think that's the best choice for this, for sure.
You heard this new storyline, Rick?
Frank's an American Dean stand?
Why do you pick these like random refs and judges and weird things to stand for?
You know what, Rick?
I stand for you.
Okay, well, that's not random.
That I appreciate it.
A lot of people stand for me, Frank.
So just join the queue.
Join the queue.
I mean, Whitney is running ear to ear like a villain.
Yeah.
Women is standing over this like a super villain and his, and his, like, project has, like, come to life.
And now he's about to go to war.
You should bring that Vaseline off of his face.
Yeah, this is the stuff that Trevor Women was born for.
Yes.
Big moments, chess matchy things.
People doubting his fighters.
Ooh, Bruce is going, man.
He's got me jacked up right now.
I love it.
Let's go.
I mean, I love it.
This is it.
Good.
Between Buffer and Gachy's Vipazeev.
There we go.
I mean, I had a feeling this was going to happen.
He's like watching the sequence of a really good movie.
Will Kamar Usen walk across the octagon towards Leon during his intro?
Pretty heavy shower of booze.
Pretty heavy shower of booze.
Go ahead.
I mean, he looks cool and comfortable.
He does.
I mean, he's here to play spoiler, bro.
I just want this fight to be competitive and fun.
I agree.
Yeah, he does.
Oh, there he goes.
Oh, there he goes.
Look at that.
Oh, Leon.
The gun from Leon.
That shot.
Leon.
Oh, that's good by Leon.
Oh, that's really good by Leon.
Leon knew he was going to do that, too.
I think he did it too much.
It was almost like he got one of those $99-cent squirt guns.
I was trying to get some water after him.
Someone go ahead and edit the $0.99 score.
Yeah, it should have just been the one.
As he was just standing there, just, bah.
How many times does he practice that?
I feel like, five, thousand.
I feel like this is one of those.
If he wins, you're going to get, like, the snatch and snags.
or like the other guy, like...
Oh, Snatch and Snacks is a magician.
The other dude who does the edits of just, like, him with, like, a bazooka in his face.
The crowd is all fired up.
Okay, so you have a single play on Kamar Usman.
Yeah, and then over one and a half parley piece.
Is the parley still alive?
Parlay's still alive, yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, we can get some units back.
I don't know.
We've already locked in another losing week.
It's down bad, 2023.
Frank's favorite reference.
is keeping these guys apart you don't even need security yeah Frank what makes him
your favorite referee you know I don't have to answer that I like the fact that he can
slow to call right here we go he just watches him hurt a little bit who I'll get you
out of there what if Leon Kios in round one I mean that's so many pretty impressive
that'd be ridiculous it'd be pretty impressive like the last London card
here we go
Wow.
We're underway.
Wow.
In the next 25 minutes, questions will be answered.
Let's go.
Oh, nice opening there from Leon.
That's a hard leg kick from Leon.
Wow, Mark Long getting a shout out on the broadcast.
I love that.
Rick, are you on the same challenge, right?
Mark Long from the...
Mark Long, legend of the challenge.
Yeah.
The O.G.
The challenge, bro.
Y'all on your challenge shit.
I mean, the challenge has gone down here.
The best.
Let's be honest.
What?
It's gone down.
Never seen it.
Never seen the challenge.
But I have taken your recommendation.
Windows.
The All-Star show is tremendous on Paramount Plus.
When does Leon throw his first left high kick?
Two minutes and five.
You might want to keep that one in round number one.
Round five.
30 seconds left.
He saves it again.
He's like, I can just do it whenever I want.
He's going to land like two more leg kicks.
Wow.
Leon a nice little uppercut.
That was nice.
Usen looked like he was trying to shoot.
See, the thing that I think is going to be super interesting
about this matchup is that now Leon can be on the defensive a little bit
and can kind of wait for his counters a little bit more.
He doesn't have to press when he's trying to take the title from Usman.
I feel like Usman is the one of us to compress a little bit.
Yep, it's a good point.
Smith, a nice right jab.
Graze the nose of Leon Edwards.
A lot of feints from Usman early.
Yep.
He looks, I mean, he's bouncing around, moving.
It looks comfortable.
It looks like it was fond of.
Compare this to round one of last time.
Well, Leon took him down and around one last time.
Yeah, Leon turned the tables.
Yeah, he broke the 100% takedown defense.
The biggest question for me about pace and volume is,
what's Leon going to do?
Is he going to come out aggressive?
No, I'll have to do this time around.
A lot of people have been talking about that.
I'm waiting for, like, the first big moment of the fight.
I got a lot of nervous energy right now.
Like kick from movies?
I mean, Edwards was on a nice right hand.
There weren't a ton of big moments in the last one.
That's the thing.
It kind of was just the big one.
Sure, yeah.
But I mean, there were still decisive moments in each round that like gave it to Usman.
And one, round one was, I mean, Edwards had a mounted, had his back.
Yeah.
That was the one.
And then I guess what Usen was kind of like had him up against the fence and just started
throwing combos to the body and stuff.
That's, that was probably the most significant moment of the fight for.
Usman from a damage respect.
Oh, man, that left hand from Usman was slow as molasses.
The Dean's deer going on right now.
Ref analyst Frankie Mysterio, everyone.
They're singing.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, Leon.
Oh, okay.
We may not have to grab that, Frank.
Have that one in the bank if he gets the win here.
Your wish is my...
Leonthorn a bunch of oblique kicks in this fight.
Thanks, sir.
Oh, it was nasty.
Whoa, he goes right back to it.
Nasty body kick dropped Oosman to a knee.
But Oosman looks recovered, but he was not ready for that.
He looks pissed.
I watched it twice.
I feel like he was reaching down for it more than like.
Yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
Too bad.
I mean, that's still the most decisive moment of this round easily.
Oh, first take down for a take down.
And they're booing.
They are booing.
Oh, yeah.
They're going to booing.
If O'Sman's going to win, he's going to have to hear a lot of booze en route to it.
Yeah.
Usman's like, no, they ain't saying
Oh, here we go.
Leon.
Usman.
Oh, nice.
Leon defends.
And we have a time out.
Frank, your referee.
Yeah, he's got to say.
Glove grab?
Go, you tell him, Dean.
And of course.
Don't do it again.
And of course.
No point.
No penalty.
Can't take a point this early.
Give him the warning.
If he does it again and it's just a warning,
man, he's working that body kick right now.
Leon Edwards is.
I mean, it's smart.
He's getting Usman to drop his hand.
I'm over the top with the rainmaker one more time.
Back to the body again.
I love that.
Yeah, Oussman's reaching down for every single one of these.
He's just reaching right at it.
Set it up.
Oh.
Oh, I thought he's got to throw an uppercut.
Leon, that is.
Pronounce, pal.
Final seconds.
Oh, I mean, this is a good round one from Leon Edwards.
Yeah, I think he's going to get out to the early lead.
All right, round one in the books.
What a round.
And they're talking.
Oh.
I don't know why.
Usman's talking too much, man.
I think Edwards got that round.
It was, uh,
Leon said something to him and then,
Oh, okay.
Marr responded.
He was like, oh, yeah.
10-9 Leon for me.
You should tighten up
Wisn's gloves a little bit.
You want me to call Trevor Whitman?
You don't mind, yeah.
Hey, Trev.
Trev, man, how you doing?
I know you might be in the middle of something.
Go ahead and tighten those up for me.
Hey, T-D-9.
Edwards for me.
10, 9 Edwards.
Make it 3 for 3.
There we go.
It's like we've seen this before.
He did some good damage.
He was on his bike.
They're showing the replay right now.
He definitely got hooked.
Yep.
He wasn't lying.
Do you think Leon's corner feels nervous
to have a speech that matched the first
time around?
They're like, man, we're really delivering guys.
I think they're hoping they won't need it.
I think.
No, absolutely.
And they won't even have.
A poor attempt at humor, I guess.
Okay.
Wow.
Easy, buddy.
Easy.
I mean, without Dean, that would have just ended horribly.
The round is 10 seconds in.
This is a great argument for your Herb Dean case.
So Mark Goddard would have just...
Yeah, Mark Goddard would have a little thing.
It was a cool moment, though.
Rocky, okay.
I thought they were chanting Colby for a second.
I thought I heard Colby.
That would be crazy if they were chaining Colby.
In London.
while Leon is fighting, that would be
absolute madness. Absolutely
bananas.
Not much happening through the first
40s. 50 seconds this round.
But it's all right.
Yeah, I mean, Kumar.
Oh, wow. Wow. Camaro's that's not a shot.
We should have landed a jab to the body.
Look how
they're testing his patience.
And it's not sure. Does he look at a replay?
Oh, no. No, no.
I love how Camaro seems like so distraught.
Like he's just being so cheated.
He's just like,
dude, he's just like, what is this, man?
What the hell, dude?
I mean, if this day is standing for a majority of the time,
it feels like Leon is going to take advantage.
Back to the body and he, that one.
The body kicks are beautiful right now.
Yeah, that was nice.
I feel like Usman can win it on the feet,
but he needs to be pushing Edwards way closer to the fence.
If he's in the middle here like this,
He can't go bad.
He's out of his...
Marlowe has found little success so far.
Yeah.
Oh, nice left hand.
Nice to push Leon.
Edwards kind of walked around.
This is where he needs him.
He needs them right in between the octagon and the fence.
That middle octagon in the fence.
That black line.
Oh, that was nasty from Leon.
Nice knee.
Nice left hand.
Nice combo.
Yeah.
Kind of like Tekken 8, am I right?
Exactly.
Oh, good work to the body there by Kamaro.
Nice.
Yeah.
Now this is a fight.
This is a fight right here.
Things are,
business is picking up.
Oh,
yeah.
As a great Jim Ross likes to say.
Leon is really putting in work with those kicks.
Oh,
good right here from Brisbane.
It goes right back to it.
Goes to the take down.
Now he's on his back.
Oh,
one hook in.
He's got this.
Who's got this?
There's a fan right there,
a horn over mouth.
Edwards back up,
but he's eating leather.
Oh, no, he's got his arm up.
You're still getting hit.
Edwards enforces it.
All right.
And now we're separated.
Oh, yeah, shooting.
Nice brawl from Camaro.
I don't know why.
I don't know about that for Leon.
That was a big shot to the body by Camaro as well.
Oh.
Who's been looking like he's going for a gilly.
It looks like a Dars at first.
Oh, wow.
I don't know why he shot.
That was a stunner.
No, dude.
97% take down defense for tomorrow.
one and a half hits.
Shout out to that.
That's it.
That shot felt desperate.
Hit the gong, dude.
That's a big one.
Well, here, let's see what happens here.
I still got Usman.
Oh, good left hand with Leon.
This is getting exciting, baby.
See, but here's the thing.
The fight was playing out in the middle the whole time.
Now this is where Usman wants it.
And it seems like he's kind of taken over.
Usman has, I said Usman has found a little success.
He just found it.
If he can keep him right here.
It's his fight.
If Leon gets it back to the middle,
we see what Leon's able to do.
Leon's starting to march forward.
Good left end.
When Leon moves forward, he's scoring.
Yeah, big time.
The kicks are coming in.
I feel like he's setting something up
if I'm being honest.
I mean, he's going back to the exact same spot on the body.
I think he would be naive to think he's not.
Usman with the leg kick.
Yeah, that knee from Edwards is filthy.
Filthy.
It's going to take a lot for Usman to,
take any momentum.
I mean, it's got to be getting in Usman's head a little bit
that he keeps going with the left kick to the body.
He has to be thinking, when's it going to come up top?
Yeah, 35 seconds left.
Usman might be down two rounds here
if this ends the way it is right now.
Man, I don't know.
I think that was a from Edwards.
That flurry we landed that knee.
But, yeah, I mean, he's outstruck him
throughout this round and he had big success
with the takedowns.
And it looked like Leon was hurt for a little bit there as well.
I gotta see the knee again.
Yeah, but the judges can't see the knee.
And I've been talking about it nonstop.
Say, wait till you see this replay of this knee.
You'll understand.
Judges don't get that, though.
I love this fight so far.
Good fight.
I am very much enjoying it.
I'm going 10-9 to Usman there.
Same, but I want to see.
What do you got, Mike?
He said, same.
Leon kind of rolled with it.
Usumann kind of rolled with it.
All right, it wasn't his...
It was...
It was fine.
It was good, but...
Big right hand from Usman.
And then he goes for a takedown.
I'm going 10-9 Usman there.
I'm still 10-9 Usman, yeah.
19-19, 10-9 Usman.
Let's take a look at the live odds.
Live odds are littering and...
Let's see.
Littering and...
Oh, a drum roll.
Usman, minus 150.
Leon Edwards plus 120.
So I'm going to assume draft kings believes...
1-1?
That it is 1-1.
Fun fight.
Fun fight so far.
I am enjoying this.
If you wanted competitiveness, I mean, do I throw it on?
I mean, come on.
I want to get a little bit more use out of this.
I can't just wear it for the first five minutes.
I mean, you can.
Three minutes, you know, three rounds left here in UFC London.
First pay-per-view in 13 years.
Wow, significant striking accuracy.
Usman 36% Edward 74.
That's pretty great to see.
He's been very efficient.
Yeah.
Making them count.
Seems like a lot of people have at 1919.
I think this is a 19-19-fighter.
By the way, I could C-2-0.
I could C-2-0, Edwards, no doubt.
You could see 2-0, home-cooking, you know,
it was a very close round.
Like, 2-0 is possible.
Oh, that's not good for, that's not good for Leon.
Oh, a take-down from Kamar Usman.
Tomorrow.
Early in this round, too.
Getting some out there in my mouth.
The UK crowd is probably not very happy.
I love
Sutter says 2018
I disagree
If you're Camaro
Phil Murdo
Philip
I disagree Phil
If you're Camaro
this is where you want to do some work
This is where you want to
You need to let this get away
You need to put in work
Yeah
Because cards are
Twitter cards all over the place
I think it's 1919
That's what I say
O
Wussman goes to the back
But Edwards back to Sivis
Grabbing the fence
Oh wow
Aggregious friend's
Oh my gosh
That was like a huge term.
Take a point.
He's definitely taking a point.
Bad fence grab.
Come on, man.
That was like, this is not a warning, dude.
He grabbed like four times.
Wow.
Not good.
They're taking a point.
No, that's a point.
Not good.
No, come on, man.
I think Herb Dean just told him to watch it.
Look it right here.
Dude.
And he grabbed it before that too.
Dude, come on.
Yeah.
Not a good one.
If Herb is really your goat here.
I mean,
No, what he says is final.
All right, see.
Yeah, you got to take a point.
You have to take a point, dude.
You have to take a point.
You have to.
He grabbed it like four times.
The last time he had his fingers all clasped in there where you couldn't pull them off.
I mean, you got to.
But he's not giving him.
Of course, it's instinct, Frank.
Like, I'm not blaming Edwards.
Yeah, he's not giving Usseman the position, which he explained, which I appreciate.
Yeah.
All right.
So that's like the rule.
We saw what Davey Grant last.
week if you take a point you don't get the position no it wasn't that it was that
because he didn't actually complete the takedown he can't say he would have taken him
down all right all right he looked at the replay too he did say that he was like I
have to take the point he would have taken you down yeah yes but because he didn't
complete it he can't give him back that position yeah here's the question is
will that benefit of us bond in the end like I know they took the point like obviously
that's beneficial but like it could end up just being a nine nine he's on the
Dean's list now.
Wow.
Let's go, Frank.
Great call.
Frank's on fire today.
Oh, man.
That left hand snapped
Edwards head back.
Edward's staying in the center.
He's got to, he's got to take some,
he's got to take a risk here.
He's got to take some chance
and at least keep some momentum
in his favor.
Especially not at 10A would be devastating.
To me, every moment they're spending in the center
is Leon's moment.
I wouldn't press too hard.
This is better for Leon than it is Kamaru.
Right.
I agree.
Though no one's really doing anything definitive here.
Could be another.
There's a kick into the ding-day.
No, no.
You can't take a point from that.
You can't take a point from that.
I love like just the disgust.
This is,
Camaro has what happened.
Let's see,
let's see if it lands.
Let's see if it.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Louise.
All right.
This is shades of Kamaru Colby.
This has the,
Right when it happens, it's just like the most just like...
The Colby one was a little questionable.
Yes, it was.
That one was not.
That one was, uh, that was flush.
No, but I just mean the like stops and the action at the end of that.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That.
Oh, Herb Dean.
I love it.
I'm telling you, Frank.
That's your goat, Frank.
I'm telling you, Frank.
That's your goat right there.
You might have turned me.
Hokey-pokey herb is on one time.
Oh, nice need from Leon.
Kicked in the pills, keep going.
Because I don't think it was a pill shot.
Yeah.
I mean, who knows?
Best referee in the game.
Hands down.
We're hands up.
There you go, hands up.
Oh, look at Leon, telling him to come on.
Oh, nice left hand from Usen.
He certainly listened.
Right in the mouth.
Yeah.
Usen to the body.
It's a close, this is a close, close round.
Even with the point deduction?
could be 9-9
Oh, these kicks
These kicks by Leon are
Yeah, they're nasty
Those oblique kicks are nasty
They're not getting enough credit tonight either
They're very sneaky
From Leon Edwards, all right
This is a fascinating fight
I mean it's almost impossible to follow
Gagee and disease
Oh wow, oh wow, nice elbow
Leon blocked pretty much all of those
The elbow kind of got through a little bit
But this is not
Leon backing up towards the fence is not where he wants to do.
We've been going for a takedown.
They're battling against the fence.
Thank you, DC.
I agree.
Yes.
He said that since they've been broken up,
Leon has had a good round to this point.
Oh, Leon, okay.
Gets away from it.
Yeah, so how do we have that one?
That's a close one.
Oh, man.
Off of pure bias.
I'm just going to go.
I'm going to go 10-8.
It was just too close.
Like, I don't think that was, like, a definitive Leon round.
But, like, I have that 9-9.
Yeah, I wouldn't fault you.
I'll go 10-8.
9-9.
28-28.
I think that was Leon.
And that take-down was nice by Usman early on.
And there were fence grabs before that fence grab.
Oh.
What do we think the chance?
of a draw are here, boys.
Oh, it's possible.
It's real possible.
Wouldn't that be something?
Holy crap.
We've already seen some draw cards.
Justin Gagey becomes the
welterweight champion if it's a draw.
You said Justin Gagey.
Justin Gagey gets the title.
Right, round four, championship rounds.
I have a 2828 after three.
Same.
Same.
Yeah, I don't disagree.
I don't disagree.
But the card says otherwise.
Yeah, but it's not like I have wild confidence in that.
Yeah, these are razor close rounds
Yeah, like they are super close, dude
Live odds minus 240
But even post
Point deduction, that means it's a very close fight
Yeah, the problem is the visual of that
Like, because Leon was the one more stopping the action
Sometimes that can look bad, you know?
Oh, for sure
I can't believe we're already in round four
Yeah, this has been pretty quick
And we've had like eight stoppages in this fight already
I'm surprised Kamara's not hunting these takes
a little more against.
I completely agree with you.
As he starts on two for one.
It feels like he's pressuring him,
but I don't know if this is takedown,
but I'm surprised.
I have to admit.
There are already back in the center of the octagon.
And Shaheen makes the broadcast.
There you go.
Let's go, Shaheen.
I love those little push kicks from Leon,
right to the shin.
Yep.
Remember that head kick from last time?
Usman minus 250 and LaiBuds.
Good comment, Frank.
Thanks, thanks.
Golden.
I really am wondering why he hasn't gone for more taketowns.
Keep one in the bucket for round five?
Let's see if my prediction...
Yeah, but you're dropping rounds.
You're dropping rounds.
I agree with you.
If you're having success, I don't know why you wouldn't go to it.
Headshot dead.
Headshot dead.
I've been pretty good.
Trajuring these chains.
I'm not going to lie.
Somebody can't figure out, but you're nailing it.
Oh, whoa.
Slend.
It looks slippy.
I feel like that, I feel like he slipped.
What a, what a reaction by Kamaru.
Yeah, turn that right around.
Immediately get over to the fence.
He fell on his, he fell down.
Oh, nice, dude.
Edwards has had a lot of success than I getting off the cage.
Yeah, he's doing a great job.
Yeah.
And Leon back to the kicks.
Legs, the body, halfway through round four.
This is crazy.
I mean, razor thin.
Oh, another body kick from Leon.
Yeah, that body kick.
Nice.
It kind of just feels like
Usman's not doing that much.
Feels like he could be much busier.
He could be down here.
Like, very, he could have lost that second round.
It's very possible Usen lost that second round.
Sure.
He's letting this fight play out
exactly where Leon Edwards wants it to play out.
That's a very bad recipe.
This fight is flying by, though.
Yeah.
Like, it really is.
It feels like I'm waiting for something
to happen here this round. Oh, nice left hand from Leon.
Oh, Edwards jabbing away.
Oh, nice.
Usman with the right hand partially blocked.
Oh.
Edwards goes for a takedown.
He's in. Edward's trying to clinch his takedown from his suit.
Oh, he's trying to get right back up.
Whoa.
He's got to do, Leon.
Kamar's going to do something with this takedown, though.
Yeah, yeah.
If he completes it.
But Edwards back up.
Possible knee?
Oh, good job by Leon Edwards avoiding the knee.
Wow, look at it.
Edwards, man.
Oh, he lands a little
maybe, oh, that's
Edwards, man.
Leon's doing work.
Which one looks like he's slowing down.
Yep.
It looks like he waited
too long to be shooting
like this, in my opinion.
Yep.
He's waiting until he's tired.
He should have been doing it.
But I just don't know if he's got
enough to, like, really do something
with it.
Well, it reminds me a little bit
of Islam and Volk,
where it's like, you should have probably
been going to it earlier.
And Volk and
Leon Edwards are both really good at defending
takedowns. Like, they're good.
And Edwards defends another one.
30 seconds left.
We've spent landing a couple of jabs.
10 seconds ago.
Oh, okay.
This is good.
It's one here.
Another really close round.
But.
That's another Leon round for me.
I agree.
Another Leon.
Yeah, I'll say Edwards.
Yeah.
10.9.
Rocky.
All right, here we go.
Round five.
wonder what the score is
those live odds were
all for Camaro early, right?
Yeah, we got Leon now.
10-9 Leon
30-19, total.
Camaro Osmond, plus
115, Leon Edwards.
Oh, I would probably, if I was out there,
that seems a little interesting.
I don't know, man.
That's a plus money right now?
I don't know, man.
You got to get over that point deduction.
I mean, Leon could,
there is a very real world
where Leon is up 39,
36 right now.
I've got him winning three.
There's also a world where Leon is down 39-38.
Oh, yeah.
It's a possibility.
Everything's in play.
Camaro Usma on minus 135, Leon Edwards plus 105 right now,
going into the final round.
That seems tasty, that Leon-that Leon-
Yeah, well, I wouldn't blame you.
I wouldn't blame you.
Oh, man, here we go.
So we know Camaro Usman is going to pull out the head kick here, right?
That's the script.
That's the script.
That's so crazy, dude.
This fight just seems like it's destined to go to a decision no matter what,
and we're going to have some closely contention scorecards.
Yeah.
These scorecards are going to be all over.
It was just like last time.
And then a finish out of nowhere.
Oh, he just went for it.
He went for the head kick.
He's been setting it up all fight.
I mean,
I mean, who's got to empty the tank here, man?
I mean, pretty much everybody has had Leon winning that round.
It just all depends on what it was in the first three.
Usman shoots.
Can he get the takedown, though?
Leon's just doing such a great job defending these.
Marro's just staying there with the handslock.
He's not chain wrestling.
He's not really trying to...
He didn't even have the hands lock.
Every time that happens again.
Every time that happens...
Oh, good uppercut!
Oh, he went for it.
He wanted it.
And Usman ate it.
That would have been incredible.
man, yeah. Oh, nice
uppercut. Nice knee from Leon.
From Leon. Oh, what an elbow from Leon?
Camaro's punches are coming
real slow now. Yeah, they are. Yeah.
Camar's still pushing forward, but yeah, he's
not a ton of pep in a step.
Goes for the takedown again.
Telegraph takedowns, slow punches.
Can't get his hands lost.
The crowd booing.
No shock.
Yeah, so far.
Oh, yeah.
fight by you 100%.
Geez, Louise.
Minus one, 10, each way on the live odds.
I feel like, yeah, Leon is a smart play,
especially seeing the first half of this round.
Edwards gets separation.
Back on the feet.
I can't believe you could get Leon at plus money
heading into five.
That's crazy.
Yeah.
I'm curious for these scorecards, man.
A draw is actually...
I didn't even see who the three judges...
For sure.
A draw is real potential.
A draw is real potential.
Oh, good jab from Leon.
I don't know, like,
Oussman has to be thinking, like,
there's a good chance I'm losing this fight right now.
Like, he has,
it just doesn't seem like he,
maybe he feels like he's won all the rounds.
I don't know.
There's a thing I feel like,
sometimes when you're the one pressing the action,
you can kind of get fooled.
You can get lulled into that feeling,
oh, good need from Leon.
And I wouldn't be surprised if Camaro thinks
because he's pressing the action
that he's,
he's winning it.
I mean, he can't get a takedown to save his life,
And he got separation again.
Leon gets, yep, Leon, this is good to go.
Over four and a half hits.
Body kick, right hand from Leon.
Usen with the windmill punch, I like it.
Rocky.
Yeah, he's looking sloppy.
He's looking real sloppy.
Oh, Joe, how's Joe feeling back there?
He's excited.
Get the takedown here, but boy, he's got to do something big with this.
Yep.
And Rocky.
Trying to get up, and he does.
But Usman still has control
in the back.
Edwards gets separation.
Usma can't do anything, bro.
Lead to the body.
He wants to lay down.
Oh, my gosh.
O2 is going crazy right now.
I think Leon's about to get his hand raised.
Yeah.
We've been going for another takedown.
I will say this is probably an Usman round,
but.
Maybe.
You think so?
I don't know.
You think this is an Usman round
and Leon still gets a.
his hand raised.
Yeah.
I don't know.
I would say that's a draw
if that's the case.
I think Leon's been doing
less work in this round than
most.
Although,
yeah,
has been doing more damage.
Much damage-wise.
You're right.
The damage is with Leon,
so maybe not.
I think there's going to be
a really nasty scorecard read.
Yeah.
A Jaroski?
For sure.
I mean,
yeah, technically on my scorecard,
I'm going to have it ending a draw.
Final 15 seconds.
Leg kick
from Edwards. Another one.
Usman going for a takedown.
They separate. Nice elbow
from Leon. Nice body kick.
Oh. Nice finish of the round there.
Yeah. Good fight.
Really good fight. Yep.
I go Edwards, so I say
if you're adding up my scorecard,
that says draw.
I'm interested to hear how this goes.
10-9 Leon for me.
For the win. Yeah. How's Edwards get the win,
What was the breakdown?
It was round one Leon, round two, Camaro, round three, nine, nine, because I scored it for Leon.
Okay.
And four and five for Leon as well.
Yep, I have exactly the same way.
That point deduction is going to play huge.
It's going to loom large over this entire thing.
It's crazy.
It could.
It could.
How's the chat scoring this?
I'm curious.
In my gut, I know I have a draw.
I think they're going to give it to Leon.
I'm actually with y'all.
I think Leon gets the win here.
Yeah.
I mean, the only round I gave tomorrow.
It felt like watching that, dude,
it felt like Leon won the fight.
No, I agree.
I feel like he ended the fight with all,
like he ended pretty much every round with momentum.
Let's see.
Let's see who scored it for Edwards.
I hope they take forever with the scorecards.
I hope they take 20 minutes.
I'm looking at, uh,
looking at the NBA fight.
writing Slack channel.
I think they're going to say 48, 46.
A lot of draws.
A couple draws.
I'm okay with a draw.
A 4-1.
Let's end the trilogy on that.
A 4-1 Leon Edwards.
Oh, yeah.
Do you think they'll end the trilogy, Rick?
Yeah.
Let's just move on.
Leon would retain belt, though.
Yeah.
He's still.
The champ.
No tetrology.
Let's just move right on.
Let's just advance.
Oh, the quadrilo.
Ah, here we go.
Quadrology for life.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
Here we go.
Buffer just whispered in Herb's ear.
That might mean draw.
That might mean...
Oh, God.
That might mean draw, dude.
Can you freaking imagine that shit?
Oh, my gosh.
It might be a draw.
Here we go.
We'll tell you.
4846.
Oh, Edwards.
It's got to be Edwards.
It's Leon.
Yeah, and still.
Leon wins.
4846, 4846, 46.
Oh my God, Joe just exploded.
47.
Let's go.
It's the right call.
It's the right card.
I think so.
I think he won the fight.
I think he won the fight.
He won four rounds to one.
He won four of the rounds.
Yeah.
I thought he won four of the rounds.
And then the point deduction, 48, 46 is the right card.
It is the right card.
Yep.
Actually, no, I did think Guzmael won round two.
All right.
Me too.
Leon Edwards
And then 9-9.
Leon Edwards is about...
Leon Edwards is about to do a post-fight interview.
And...
Is he going to call somebody out?
Yes. He calls someone out.
Who?
Colby?
How happy is Colby Covington right now?
How are he is Colby Covington right now?
I feel like Mosvedo.
He's got the whole crowd chanting headshot dead.
This has to be one of the lowest points
in Kamar's career in quite a while.
Just so you know the control room has prevented me from using the loser cam on you.
I don't care, dude.
It's, it really doesn't matter.
I'm doing so bad at this point that I'm like numb to it.
You hit the parlor.
You guys, like, what's actually annoying me is y'all telling me that I'm doing fine as I'm like burning money away.
Like, you'll keep being like, but you're up all time.
I'm like, yeah, but I'm down like a lot of units in 2023.
Go ahead.
We're just trying to be supportive.
I'll take it.
We got your back.
I'm just recording it.
I'll take it.
All right.
Did you, so how did we end up tonight?
Down five units again.
Oh, Jesus.
Yeah, I cannot have a winning week in 20203 to save my life.
That was a great reaction.
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Yeah.
No, I mean, it's like, yeah, I'm down like 20-something units this year.
I mean, I'm not going to.
It's the worst game.
It is far and away, the worst gambling run I have ever been on in my 10 years of betting.
Like, far and away.
It's like when your kids and your friend gets hurt and they're like, how bad is it?
And you're like, oh, my God.
And then you're supposed to
To it now. I'm numb to it now. I would have been depressed for
three days last year if I had a five unit
losing night. Now it's just like, well, at least I didn't lose six.
I think for 287
Should have like four or five
four or five like little bets and then the rest
we chat bet it. Just let the chat decide.
No? No. No. There's there's no like
strategy to this. I'm just picking losers. That's all
that's all it comes down to. Like
All right, let's see.
Let's see what Leon has to say.
Is he going to call somebody out?
All right, here we go.
Who's next?
I'm predicting Jorge or Connor is my prediction.
Oh, Daniel Cormier pointing him out.
I already got it on Colby.
I win.
Wow, he no-sells Colby,
and he says he's going to go to Miami and see what happens.
Yeah.
Which is exactly the correct.
Oh, with Mazved-Oll and Burns.
Of course he wants Jorge.
Of course he gets a no-cell.
fight, very winnable.
Look at Burns.
Look at Whitman, dude.
He's happier for Leon than Leon's team is.
Burns wins.
I think Colby is very much in play.
I don't think that there's a reason if you're Leon Edwards to give Colby that opportunity.
I mean, it's a bigger bag.
What is?
Mazadol?
Or are you seeing Colby?
Colby over like Burns or Ballal.
No, but what about Mazvedal?
Oh, no,
Mazadol wins,
and Colby's not getting
the title shot,
no chance.
But if Burns beats Mazadol,
then Colby probably gets it,
I think.
Or you wait for Connor.
Maybe.
See how that plays out.
Camar just...
That was very nice.
That was really good.
I mean, he lost...
He lost in a pretty classy way as well.
He sure did.
I know he got flatlined,
but he took it like a...
jam.
I didn't know if he was going to say, like, I won the fight or anything like that.
Trying to see if...
What it?
Usman.
Good stuff.
I'm down with it, dude.
Good job, tomorrow.
I think he's a class act.
Good job.
Saying things the substance.
So, Camaro, for those who aren't watching, said he's going to talk to his team, he's going
to go home, spend some time with his family.
And then if he sits around too long, gets a little antsy.
gets a little, you know, a little bit of a fancy.
And then, uh, there's the cards.
Oh, here we go.
10, 10, 10, 10.
Interesting.
Wow.
And, and 10, 10.
And tomorrow won, 2, 10, 8 cards.
And he lost.
Wow.
That's crazy.
All three judges gave Leon round one.
Two gave Edwards two.
Two, 10, 8.
Wait, wow.
What is happening right here?
What am I looking at?
These are the scorecard.
Nobody scored round two for Camaro?
One, one, the one that gave me a draw.
Interesting.
Wow.
Okay, those were not the cards I was expecting, but all right.
I mean.
I mean, somehow, some way we got to the right one.
Oh, breaking news.
Breaking news.
Frank.
Okay.
What is the breaking news?
I don't know.
We have a tweet.
We have a tweet from the UFC.
see lightweight champion.
Oh.
Islam Makachev.
Oh boy.
I want Leon next, October in Abu Dhabi.
He's calling his shot.
Man.
At 170?
Islam Makachchev wants the crack.
He wants the crack at a double champ Islam.
Can I just say,
can I just say I have zero interest in that right now?
None.
Absolutely none.
I have a little bit, but not much.
I'm not saying I could grow interest.
But right now, like, I'm not even, like, I haven't even gone to the store to buy the package of seeds yet with that fight.
I haven't even gotten in the car.
The garage door is closed.
Did you say to buy the package of seeds?
Leon has it.
Yeah, to grow and bloom in this idea of a.
I like that. I like that.
So Colby is talking to Megget O'Levy.
Let's see.
Saying, uh, home cooking judging.
Colby is back.
Like, for those who thought, uh, maybe the gimmick would change.
a little bit, maybe he turned a little baby face.
He is, he's actually veered over.
I love that he still flexes Donald Trump's favorite finder.
I gotta be honest,
this feels like off.
Like, I don't think Colby's next.
Like, this feels weird.
It just feels very force-fed to us.
We don't hear from the guy for a literal year.
Last time he fought was March 5th, 2022.
They had their incident shortly after,
and then he has been completely off the grid.
And then it's just like, yo, I'm here.
It's my time.
Yeah.
It doesn't feel right, honestly.
Right.
But I don't think the UFC
expected the type of reaction
to him being the backup
that they got.
Because they saw the numbers
and like,
no matter where you looked,
Colby's way in
did like better numbers
than like both Leon and Camaro combined
like across the board.
And even at the,
even at the scrum that Dana did yesterday,
he said like,
he was stunned by everybody's reaction,
said even his kid reached out to him
is like, why is Colby Covington weighing in?
So I think they saw that buzz,
and I think they're just going for it right now.
They're just going to try to strike the iron side.
I don't think he's going to get the shot.
If Mazadol wins, he's getting the fight.
It's Mazvedal.
It's really getting percent.
But it Burns beats Mazadol,
which he is heavily favored to do,
I think Colby, I think there's a good shot
Colby gets it.
I mean, either of those, I feel like, actually, I don't know.
You did you see Leon's take down defense on display, and it was fantastic against Kamar Usmah.
Okay, let me ask you.
Let me ask you.
Who's a more interesting contender, right, out of these options?
Jorge Mazvedal.
Yeah.
Balaamahmahad Shemayev, although it seems like you can't really, you can't count
Hamzat right now.
Connor McGregor or Colby Covington
I'd probably have him like third Colby
Yeah I'd probably have him third too
I mean the best would be Jorge pulling off a crazy win
In front of the Miami crowd against Burns
It's scenes Leon is there
They decide right there
Three Piece and a soda
We're doing it for the title
I don't know
I don't know like I don't know where I put him
I don't know if like this
I don't know if like this weekend
and him just showing up, like, the momentum continues past tonight.
You know what I mean?
If it does and people are clamoring for it, then maybe he gets that shot.
But, yeah.
Oh, you're saying Covington.
I'm talking about Colby, yeah.
Oh, I was talking about Jorge.
I'm saying, like, if Jorge knocks out Gilbert Burns or something.
If Jorge wins a split decision against Gilbert Burns.
That's what I'm saying.
He does it in front of the Miami crowd.
Everyone goes crazy.
Leon is in attendance.
Jorge gets his hand raised, and then they decide right there.
Oh, yeah.
It's Jorge.
If Jorge wins, he's getting the shot.
Balal Muhammad has to be the most frustrated man in the world right now.
Oh, good.
Because he's probably like, he's probably like fifth or sixth in line right now.
And that's just not fair.
And all he does is win.
It's not fair.
All he does is win.
It's not to fight Shafkat Rakhanov now.
Like that's his future.
He has to fight Shafkat Rokhanov now.
If I, I'll say this, if I had the books,
if I had the pencil in the book in the wrestling booking world,
Yeah.
Kobe Covington is fighting Belal Muhammad,
and Leon Edwards is fighting either Jorge Mosvidal or Connor McGregor.
That's it.
That's what I'm doing.
And I'm cashing in.
Colby, I get you, you know, you had some great title performances.
Earn it.
Get one.
And let's get back in there.
And Belal Mohammed's a great contender.
That's how I...
Wait that long for McGregor.
Like, say Burns goes out there and beats him.
Can we wait that long?
Put Connor McGregor in a title fight?
Yeah, I would wait.
I would wait for a while.
And if you're Leon Edwards and you waited that long to get that title,
and now you've kept it, I would wait.
I would wait for that too.
It's just so risky right now with Connor.
All you've got to do is wait to see the outcome of that fight.
Once it's done, Connor wins.
Let's roll it.
Connor loses.
Hey.
Or hey, hey, hey.
That could be like six months from now that they fight.
It could be longer.
I don't, like, I don't know.
I literally have no idea.
I'd sit on it.
Six months and then you have to wait on Connor's timeline after that.
Yeah.
But if he can get Mazadol, if Leon could get,
if Leon could get Mosvidal.
Mazadol and Connor in the same year,
that's pretty freaking,
I mean, that's massive year for him.
If you get Mazvedol, you go right away.
100%.
That might, yeah, that's a summer.
That's a fight that probably happens in the summer.
Like they go right to it.
So a lot of pressure on Gilbert Burns here unfortunately I think if he wins I still don't know if he gets the title shot then it feels that they might slide Kobe in there yeah I don't think so now burns could if Burns wins I don't know I don't know very straight every division has this problem right now where everything's just kind of a mess and there are fighters who deserve something but are being jumped over by people who probably don't deserve it as much but as we've learned in the same.
sport, especially when it comes to the ultimate fighting championship.
Deserved doesn't
matter. None of that matters. It's about
dollars in the sense
over what makes an actual sense.
So, that's...
Who will be the number one contender on
Monday?
In the rankings?
Colby?
Well, what is it right now? Are we talking
UFC rankings? Yeah, Colby,
Hamzot, the law.
Dan is going to show up at that press conference, and he's going to
it Colby over, I think.
Wow.
Yeah. Colby will be the
choice. Jorge wins, Jorge gets it,
Jorge loses Colby. That's what I think.
That's how I think this is going to play out.
Now, if I'm Leon Edwards, do I take
that fight?
Or do you go with what Eric's saying
and wait and hope
maybe Conner's ready to go?
I don't know. There's a world where you could take that fight
and by the time you've
done and fought it and defended,
you still won't know the answer about Connor.
Colby has, Colby's got a lot of buzz, right?
right now. It's just I want to see if this is a snowball effect or if this is just like a couple
of flakes that stuck to the ground. And that's here's the potential problem with that plan,
Donna. You do that and then you lose to Colby Covington. You ain't touching that belt. You ain't
getting it back. They're going to move on. Yeah. You have to accept that. You have to have
to have the belief that you're going to beat Kobe Covington. You get another defense and then you get
a mega fight with McGregor.
I am not passing on a chance
to fight Connor McGregor ever,
ever in my life. Never.
It's just the timeline just doesn't
work out that well. And he has to
win the fight too. For who?
I mean, it's just a long
wait for Leon for a maybe.
Maybe or maybe not?
What else is the world there where
Connor wins? Like,
what if they don't give him the title shot?
Who, Connor?
Yeah. Oh, come on.
Stop. Stop that.
Connor wins and they don't give him the title shot.
I see the Mockchev tweet, no.
No. No. No. No.
What I'm what Leon Edwards wants?
He doesn't want Islam Mockachev. I can tell you that right now.
He wants Jorge and I'm glad he no sold the Colby thing.
I want, I want Jorge. I want Jorge to beat Burns now because I want Mazvedal, Leon.
Yeah, I mean.
That's a tough fight for him.
You know what?
We almost got the chance to hear from Mr. Mazadol today.
We almost got the chance.
Oh, wow, wow.
Breaking the fourth wall.
It just did happen.
He's a busy man.
No.
Yeah, we didn't get it.
We're very close.
We're very close.
We're supposed to say what's up to him.
We're very close.
It did not happen.
We made the graphic and everything.
Hopefully we get the chance to speak to him this week to get his reaction to all of this and much more.
So, you're great.
This is a pretty good card.
This is a good main card.
All of these fights are really good.
I enjoyed it a lot.
Bisbing, I believe, just said Colby's going to fight for the title.
Yeah, he did.
No matter who likes it.
Yeah, he said whether you like it or not, he's fighting for the title.
Here's the thing.
I got to be honest.
I feel like Leon might flex a little bit.
And I would like to see that.
I would like to see Leon kind of like,
there's nothing you can say about Leon Edwards at this point.
I'd like to see him say, I want Jorge.
I'm going to put Colby on the shelf the same way everybody put me on the shelf.
Let me see how these things play out and make the best strategic decision.
I hope he does that because he's earned that position now that he's,
now that he's the champ and undisputed.
If Mazadol wins, he's getting, even the UFC,
even the UFC is probably going to look at this the same way.
Mazadol wins are going to, they have to do that fight.
Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, dude.
Running out of time.
You have to do it.
I think if Mazvedal beats Burns, he gets the title shot.
And if Mazadal lost to Burns and Leon lost to Usen,
you could, like, they would go to that fight probably right then and there anyway.
And I do think
Mazadol is a
I don't know what the betting odds are
at this point
I think Burns is a pretty sizable favorite
Mazdao's like plus 350
I think I think Mazdaal is live at plus 350
I like that I do
I think he's live at plus 350
Yeah you've been you've been on that train for a bit
You like Mazfidal more than the odds in that fight
I do
I do I wouldn't favor Mazadal
but Mazadal plus 350
Gilbert is not going to wrestle him like Colby
He's not going to.
He's not going to.
And Mazol is like a good defensive grappler.
He doesn't get enough credit for that.
He's not a great defensive wrestler.
And that's the problem.
But Gilbert,
Gilbert, I think, is going to have a tough time getting him down.
And if he can't get him down,
like, it's going to get real interesting on the feed.
Mazol is a better striker than him.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Like, Burns is not bad.
Burns is a pretty good striker.
And he's getting better.
But this stays on the feet.
Mazdaal is a very good chance to win this fight.
So I don't know.
I think plus 250 is probably where I would put it.
But if you're giving me Mazadol plus 350, that's...
Sounds like you put the money on Mazurahel here.
You know, a little sliver.
A little sliver.
I think it's worth it at that.
I line the fight.
It's only because I see value in it
because I line it a little bit closer than that.
Of good card.
Really good card.
And you know, it's great.
It's 8.24 p.m.
That is the best part about this card.
It's 824 p.m.
So, yeah.
New York, Rick, any final thoughts?
Because we're going to get out of here in a moment.
The UFC 26 press conference is going to kick off in a moment.
But any final thoughts, New York, Rick?
Yes, Leon Edwards took it through the mud the hard way
and now is sitting on top of the Walter Way throne.
And I think that's awesome and respectable and commendable.
and I think now he's got some very interesting choices ahead of him
and I'm interested to see how he handles it
but I do hope he flexed as and makes it his choice
and sees how the landscape looks but there's some
there's some fun ahead at Walterway and I'm quite frankly
Camaro and Leon was a great trilogy and I'm happy that
now we can move on from it to be honest it was it was tremendous
I loved I loved both all three of the fights
and now we can move on with new fresh matchups.
100%. Yeah, I'm with you.
That was a very nice, tight, three fights.
2-1, Leon, we're out of here.
Completely agree.
Good trilogy, fascinating main event.
Very hard to follow Gaichi Fiziv,
but those two guys did it.
It was two very compelling fights
in completely different ways.
And I thought all the other fights exceeded expectations.
Gutter Nelson kind of is what we
expected.
Yeah, Gunthernows, it was like the one fight that, like, was stuck exactly to the script.
Yeah.
Props to Jennifer Maya.
She looked great today.
Oh, yeah, it looks fantastic.
And Martin Vittoria Roman DeLi DeLizze did the damn thing.
I don't think it was a robbery.
I think the 3027 sucks.
It's a pretty terrible card.
Yeah, that was a fun fight.
It was a fun fight.
It was a fun card.
2828 in Fiziv, Gae, and 3027.
Same judge.
Inventory Deleets.
Shout out name?
Frank, you should know this?
You're the judge guy?
Yeah, you are the judge guy, Frank.
Yeah, I do know this, but I'm not going to share it with you.
You know, share it in me?
Okay, I'll find it.
Paul, Mr. Paul Sutherland, ladies and gentlemen.
Shout out to Paul Sutherland.
Shout out to Paul Sutherland for his...
Frank, where is he...
Oh, I was about to ask where he's on your rankings.
He's ready to go, okay, good.
Does he have a number next to his name?
He's got a C.
Oh, wow, let's go.
Is the captain?
Well, like he's a champ.
Champ.
Oh, all right.
Well, damn.
All right.
We'll see.
Can be many different things in sports.
I mean, I guess you're right.
True that.
So the UFC 286 press conference.
We're going to have a live stream of that.
We'll hear from Leon Edwards.
Let's go.
Here, a problem, Kamar Usman.
Let's go.
I hear from Justin Gagee.
We'll hear from UFC President Dana White.
I will say they're in London.
So just to warn you, it's probably going to be a very, very long press conference.
So just bear with that.
And then we'll have a post-fight show right.
after as well with myself, Shaheen Al-Shadigin, and maybe AK. I don't really remember, but
we'll react to everything we saw and much more. G.C., any final thoughts?
I mean, good card. Always love a London card. Congratulations to Leon Edwards. I mean,
I love that he did it definitively, too. I think especially going back on rewatching it,
it would be like, yeah, Leon won this fight. There's no question about it. And yeah, excited to
where the welterweight division goes. I mean, the best, the best,
division in all of you have C.
Better than 155 and 135.
That's supposedly the hill that I'm supposed to die on via the MMA hour.
But no, yeah, good card.
Can't wait for Miami in three weeks.
Oh, yeah.
Well, I'm excited to be back here and excited to see what this set is going to look like.
Oh, I think it's going to look nice.
I'm very excited.
Maybe some sands.
Maybe we get a truck full of sand to come in here.
I get my Hawaiian shirt.
So thank you all very much.
Wait, wait, before we sign off.
Yes, please.
Before we sign off, tell me, make the fights.
What's happening next?
I need it.
Do it for me.
Who?
Walter Waite.
What's happening?
Who is fighting who?
Wilterweight fights?
All your shot.
Jorge Mazzvedal knocks out Gilbert Burns in front of the Miami crowd and he gets Leon in the cage.
They book it right there, three piece in a soda.
Then we get...
Colby.
What about Colby?
We get it.
Well, first...
Wow, man.
Colby will fight.
I was about to drop a bomb.
We get an angry Balal Muhammad.
He can't believe he's not getting a title shot.
And they give him the big dog, the nightmare.
of the welterweight division,
Shavkat Rockmanov.
You pass this test,
then you get your title shot.
And then Kobe Covington.
Fight Skiller Burns.
Yeah, there's the whimper.
Okay, I dig those.
Wait, come.
This just then.
Hamzat Shamiev's down to cut the weight.
He wants a part of 170, baby.
Kobe Covington, Hamzat Shamiyev.
Stack all three on the one card.
We get the Welterweight Grand Prix.
You see,
can you see me right now?
This is me.
Yeah, we can see you, bro.
pointing to the, I'm pointing to the bleachers.
Connor McGregor versus Leon Edwards, next fight for Leon Edwards.
That's me calling my shot, baby.
Hey, you think of Colby Covington, Connor McGregor fight would sell?
Yeah.
No, I wouldn't do that.
Yes, I mean, probably, but I wouldn't do that to Connor.
That doesn't feel like the right.
I mean, you want to give him favorable matchups.
Yeah, you want to put him in there with Leon.
I feel like that's a great.
Oh, man, that'd be fun.
That'd be fun.
That'd be fun.
That's what the best.
They make Colby earn one.
And all of you have said.
Colby's not going to fight below.
I don't think he will.
I really don't think you will.
All right.
I got to run a half marathon in the morning,
so I got to get out of here.
To the restroom.
So thank you very much.
You guys are the best.
Shout out to everybody in the back.
